At the airport, Tsunayoshi and friends gather. Even Sorato was present to escort Tsunayoshi and co out of the country. It was something that Reborn had long decided in discretion to Tsunayoshi.
Sorato threw a knowing glance at Tsunayoshi. "I do hope that you do well on your job." He hid behind a friendly expression his real thoughts.
Tsunayoshi having met Sorato hid well his emotions surprisingly. "Yeah. I do hope that I finish up. See you there!" He knows well that Sorato will appear at Italy knowing what the male is after him. And he was prepared for the coming confrontation, at least he believes so. He is ready to do anything just to protect those who are important to him, particularly Kyoko and his mother.
"Be careful then!" Sorato bid happily. He perfectly played his student friendly role; everyone minus Tsunayoshi oblivious.
Reborn noticed the invisible spark between Sorato and Tsunayoshi. He did not understand what is going on. It is rare that he see his student show hostility. He ignored the matter thinking it is a child squabble.
The trip to Italy took a few hours, a transfer of plane. Tsunayoshi and co were greeted by Vongola Nono, Timeteo.
Timeteo embraced Tsunayoshi. "Did you travel well?" He asked happily to see Tsunayoshi.
"Yeah." Tsunayoshi flashed a bright smile after giving his respect to Timeteo. He felt a pang of guilt. Though he knew he had to continue with his plan if he has to keep his family safe, Sorato had shown many things to prove that the threat is not a simple one that could be ignored. The male had shown him enough proof to believe that Sorato will do what it take to take his life.
=== A DAY SOMETHING EARLIER ===
Tsunayoshi is walking at the corridor to buy lunch with his friends when his instincts kicked in. He looked around, wonders where the feeling he was sensing. A surprise came to him when he saw glimpse of Kyoko from afar in danger of being attacked by men wearing dark clothes. Seeing his beloved in danger is enough to make him run to the rescue, and then he caught sight of Sorato. He watched as Sorato come to Kyoko's rescue.
Sorato having sharp eyes saw Tsunayoshi after the fight, noticing the brunette from afar. He flashed a smile at the brunette. He gestured to Tsunayoshi implying that it was only the start. That he could do much worst to have what he had come for.
Tsunayoshi growls, seethes with anger understanding what Sorato had meant.
"Jyu- Jyuudaime?" Gokudera stares at Tsunayoshi surprised the sudden display of emotion the brunette revealed. He had never seen Tsunayoshi seethe with rage.
Tsunayoshi recalls that he is in his friends' presence. He snapped back, faced his friends showing a fake smile. "What is it?"
Yamamoto sensed the smile that Tsunayoshi displayed is fraud. He looked at the direction that Tsunayoshi had been looking at, wonders what it is that made the brunette distracted. "What did you see anyway?" He saw there was nothing.
Tsunayoshi panicked thinking that his friends would catch on. "It's nothing." He lied answering in a hurry. He started to walk again hoping that Sorato is somewhere else. "We better go or else we will miss out lunch."
=o=
Tsunayoshi lie back on the bed that Timeteo had prepared for him, exhausted from the trip. He looked at the bag he had brought with him – nothing but all the necessity that one would bring in a survival game. It was a task for him to bring the things unnoticed by everyone, especially by Reborn. His lips thinned thinking of the things he must do, approached the bag he had left on a table; took out a couple of white envelopes. He looked at the envelop he took out with a sad expression. 'Sorry everyone.' He thought of all the people that he will send the letters to. "Sorry."
The names on the white envelopes were his guardians and those he deemed important to him. He had written letters private to each one. He let out a sigh, left the room discretely.
