Come Closer: Chapter Three
Tsuna opened his eyes slowly to find sunrays blinded his eyes for moment. Not for long time he full aware that he lie down on grasses. He sat on and saw nothing than plain green grasses and blue sky with thick cloud surrounded.
While he wondered where he was, images came to his mind and he remembered everything. About his forcefulness parent, about Nami High, about his beloved Kana-chan, and… some jerks.
The brunet frowned then flushed a bit when he recalled about the blond. Who is that guy? Did he kill Kotani-san? Tsuna gulped and shook his head; he didn't want to think about it. Then he felt anger built rapidly as he recalled his first kiss. Does he have some manners? No, certainly no. I mean, we even don't know each other yet!
Wait; even we know each other it still wrong. Absolutely wrong.
Tsuna sighed himself and made a mental note to slap that blond when he met him again.
"Kufufu, what an interesting person Giotto brought today…"
Tsuna turned around to see the owner of that eerie voice but found nothing. "W-who's there?" When the brunet got silence he went into panic mode. 'I-i-it's no-ot…'
"Oya oya, just because the signal in this area sucks you don't have to call me ghost." Tsuna squeaked as he felt a hot breath right behind his neck. "HIIIIEE! Please don't kill me! I'm too young to die! A-and I-I'm not delicious too! S-see, I'm not worthy enough to accompany you so d-don't drag me to h-hell!"
"Kufufufu-buh-HAHAHAHAHA!" Tsuna turned around to see why the 'ghost' laughed so hard. The boy became so red when he saw a man, just one or two years older than him, with silky purple pineapple looks like hair and white porcelain skin. "You sure are the funniest one Giotto brought!" The pineapple man still laughed and let some tears formed rivers on his porcelain cheek.
Because the pineapple man won't stop his hysterical laugh, Tsuna –still with cherry cheek- asked the man. "W-w-what are you? Umm, sorry… I mean w-who are you? Where are we?"
The pineapple man lowered his hysterical laugh to the small one, "No, I am not ghost. I'm Rokudo Mukuro, just call me Mukuro, and we are in your mind, Tsunayoshi-kun."
Tsuna stared at Mukuro's eyes. His eyes shining in purple and bloody red made Tsuna's jaw dropped in awe. Mukuro chuckled in amusement for the brunet's expression. This resuscitated Tsuna from his gaze. "S-sorry… Uum, what do you mean we are in my mind?'
Mukuro sat on the grass field; close enough to make the boy blushed. "You fainted and I was ordered to bring you back before school is over."
"Hee?"
Mukuro smiled. Creepy enough to make Tsuna whimpered. "I see, so innocent, so shiny, yet so fragile. He sure has a quite taste." Before Tsuna can ask more, Mukuro –somehow- was pinning Tsuna to the ground. The brunet yelped and tried to push Mukuro away, just made easier to the pineapple to hold his hands. "M-Mukuro-san! What are you doing?!" The pineapple just grinned mischievously at the boy's nervousness. "My, my…. Why did you stutter all of sudden, Tsunayoshi-kun?"
Too close, was all Tsuna could think now as Mukuro leaned in and whispered to Tsuna, "Kufufu…. Tsunayoshi-kun, believe me, I really do want to spend some time with you but you must wake up now…"
"H-huh?" Tsuna felt his eyes became heavy and heavier. "Mu...kuro-san..?"
"Till then, Tsunayoshi-kun…."
----o0o----
Uhmm…. It's smelled like coffee.
"…born still mad at him…"
No, it's sweeter….
"…eet boy, nee?"
Vanilla?
Yes, it is….
"…ake soon."
With a pancake….
Wait, a pancake?
Tsuna blinked his eyes before fully opened it to reveal his sweet caramel eyes and found a pair of soft indigo blended with purple eyes staring at him very close. Extremely close. "GYAAA!" Tsuna, idiotically, raised his head and, of course, hit the others' head that staring at him.
Both of them winced in pain while the other man told them to calm down. "Byakuran-sama! I told you to not do that!" The redhead with glasses scolded the whitenette who touched his forehead with an excessive passion. "Now, you made Sawada-san have bad impression on us!"
"But he is SO cute that I can't let him go!" The whitenette –Tsuna assumed his name Byakuran- slide his arm to Tsuna's shoulder, pulled the boy to his welcoming hug. Tsuna squirmed and struggled to free himself but to no avail. Why people he met today harass him to no end?! "…Right, Tsunayoshi-chan?" Byakuran said seductively in the brunet's ear just made the boy's red face worse.
"Byakuran-sama let the boy go!"
"Ho-ho, you are cute when you jealous, Shou-chan" Byakuran grinned widely. "Don't afraid, I will not abandon you, Shou-chan."
"L-let me go!" said Tsuna in soft voice.
"Hmm, Shou-chan, can you assign Tsu-chan to our Millefiore?" Byakuran, either listened to Tsuna's plea or not, still ignored the boy and just talking to this redhead Shou-chan. 'Whoa! First, my first name, then you called me with-with that girlie pet name?!'
"But he is Giotto's partner! He must be already assigned to Vongola!" Now the redhead tried to pry Byakuran from Tsuna. But Byakuran being stubborn hugged Tsuna more tightly. That's when some flash appeared in the room, they stopped their struggled and looked at the light brown girl who is giggling now.
"Sa-Sasagawa-san!" The redhead one panicked as the girl put her camera to its case.
"I don't know that you are some paparazzi, Kyoko-chan." Byakuran let Tsuna go when Sasagawa pried them. "I, too, don't know that you are so crybaby in the last orientation, Byakuran." Kyoko smiled sweetly. Byakuran shocked, lost his happy face at the moment. "Y-you don't mean t-t-that…"
"Yeah, sure. I do mean that thing." The girl smiled at Tsuna and left Byakuran cornering himself in the room. "Besides, I've already here before Tsunayoshi-kun awake which mean I am not paparazzi."
"Why did you come here for the first place? Your office is not here, you fan girl!" Byakuran replied with anger or nervous Tsuna not sure. But it was obvious that he scared to death, his face was white as his hair.
"Giotto-kun and Basil-kun asked me to deliver this pancake for Tsunayoshi-kun. Now, why don't you just shut your mouth?" This scary Kyoko ignored the wordless Byakuran. She turned her attention to Tsuna and hugged him for a moment. "Tsunayoshi-kun, it's been awhile. Do you remember me? It's me, Sasagawa Kyoko."
'Hmm? Sasagawa…Kyoko?' Tsuna blushed furiously when he remember whose name it is. "Kyoko-chan?! Why are you here?"
"Tsunayoshi-kun, so you do remember me!" Kyoko giggled a bit then smiled at the boy. "This is my school. Oh, I also brought your pancake; I don't know you like vanilla syrup."
"Thank you." Tsuna smiled sleeplessly as his long-time crush. Yes, his crush but Kyoko never know this and Tsuna being no-good didn't have courage to tell her.
"Sasagawa-san, you two know each other?" The redhead asked as Kyoko put the pancake on the table, glittering with all his glorious syrup on it.
"That's right, Irie-kun, we are friend since elementary. Tsunayoshi-kun, this is Irie Shouichi-kun, the smartest one in Nami High and that depressed weirdo is Byakuran, the head of Millefiore."
"A-ano, Sasagawa-san, that's not true." Irie shook his head. "Why don't you give some tour to Sawada-san after he finished his snack while I trying to wheedle Byakuran-sama to do his jobs."
"That's the good one, Irie-kun." Kyoko gave her approving nods. "Now, Tsunayoshi-kun, why don't you eat your pancake?"
----o0o----
After Tsuna finished his pancake, he and Kyoko say goodbye to Irie and Byakuran. Kyoko, being a good school guide, tell him about school in general; something about assignments, partners, comunita, and temporary dorm. Although Tsuna didn't catch what she said, he didn't ask anything about it. He just stared at Kyoko.
'Ah, Kyoko-chan. She became prettier than the last time we met.' Tsuna, still mesmerized by his crush, blinked his eyes as the school's bell ringing hard enough to snap him.
"Tsunayoshi-kun?" Kyoko looks worried. "Do you listen to me?"
"S-sorry, Kyoko-chan. What is that again?"
Kyoko smiled at the brunet shyness. "Nope, there's nothing. Anyway, maybe it's late but welcome to Nami High."
Tsuna couldn't help himself to not smile at this. "T-thank you."
Kyoko gasped when she realized something. "The school is over! Sorry, Tsunayoshi-kun, I must go now. See you tomorrow!"
'I guess I can try this one.' Tsuna waved his hand to Kyoko and walked home, wonder what will wait for him in this Nami High. But one thing he didn't know, he made his first step to the disastrous high school life beyond his wild imaginations.
