Neko: You minna~

Reborn: Unfortunately the idiot is back….

Neko: Oi, I just made a new story and don't call me an idiot.

Yamamoto: Maa, maa~ let's not fight shall we?

Neko/Reborn: DON'T GET IN THE WAY! /SHUT UP!

Tsuna: *sweat drop* Yamamoto, don't even bother…

Yamamoto: Ahaha, Neko-san does not own us or the manga/anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn


The next morning, Tsuna did his usual routine and that was to wake up at 6, bathe, of course clothe, ate then brushed his teeth and he also made his bento.

Since Tsuna isn't really close with his….housemates, he usually gets up earlier than them and to him, it looks like this day would be normal like the rest but how wrong he is.

"There, done!" Tsuna exclaimed happily. He had made another one just in case Yamamoto would want to try one. After he finished putting the two bentos in his bag that was on top of the table, he left the kitchen only to hit a chest.

"Hey, kora! You okay?" A voice asked.

"I'm fine, Colonello-san…" Tsuna replied, clearly uncomfortable but the blonde just ignored that.

"No wonder we never see you leave the house, you're always so~ early. Kora!" Colonello said grinning.

"I-…I've got to go now!" Tsuna spoke quite hurriedly as he walked to the door quite fast.

"Who were you talking to Colonello?" A serene voice asked.

"Ah, it's just you, Fon and I was talking to Tsuna. Kora!" Colonello answered as he turned to Fon.

"Tsuna? Where is he now?" Fon questioned, concern and a bit of excitement was clearly seen in his eyes and tone of voice.

"He already left…. Kora." Colonello answered as Fon just sighed in disappointment.

"My, my, you two are up early." A happy yet sleepy female voice said in a sing-sang.

"Ah, Luce! Morning. Kora!" Colonello greeted.

"Ohayo, Luce." Fon smiled.

"What's this about Tsuna?" Luce asked. As Colonello explained to her, Luce couldn't stop herself from frowning.

"He still doesn't trust us…." Luce sighed, disappointed.

"Trust?" The two chorused in confusion.

"Yes, trust. Some things happened to him when he was still younger. I'd love to tell you all about it but he should be the one to tell you." Luce told them.

'What does she mean by some things?' Fon thought, frowning.

'What could've happened to him? Kora.' Colonello thought as well.

"Anyway, you two should go wake the others up." Luce shoo'ed them as she walked in the kitchen probably to prepare breakfast.

With Tsuna

"Got to get to school….before he does." Tsuna muttered as he ran at full speed towards his school and just as he was about to enter the school he was stopped by….

"Haha, it looks like I win, Tsuna." Yamamoto, the school's baseball star, grinned.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll definitely win but congratulations for winning anyway." Tsuna shrugged, smiling happily at Yamamoto.

"We'll see, Tsuna, we'll see." Yamamoto teased as a sly smile was seen on his face.

'Yamamoto-10, Me-0… It's not that bad…I can still catch up!' Tsuna thought happily.

"I'll make sure you won't be able to catch up." Yamamoto grinned at the shock face his friend was giving him.

"Did you…. Just-"Tsuna was cut off with Yamamoto saying:

"Nah, you're just easy to read, we are friends." Yamamoto answered as his grin widened.

"…..Ne Yamamoto….do you still remember that time when we met?" Tsuna asked.

"Of course I do." Yamamoto answered, his grin wiped from his face at the memory.

"Do you regret it?" Tsuna questioned, his bangs covering his eyes.

"Regret what? There's nothing to regret about." Yamamoto told him.

"What about the time when you saw Haru get shot by someone I didn't even know? Or the time when Nagi-chan…..she-she was never found ever again…..all my friends before were….. because of me." Tsuna sobbed out as tears fell down his face.

"Tsuna, look at me." Yamamoto ordered as his expression turned grim. Tsuna looked at Yamamoto in the eyes, bangs no longer hiding his eyes, showing frightened and crying eyes but soon disappeared as he was crushed in a bone crushing hug.

"Yamamoto…." Tsuna muttered as he returned the hug, burying his face into the other's as he cried silently, slowly making Yamamoto's shirt drenched.

"Tsuna, it wasn't your fault…..none of it was your fault." Yamamoto comforted, calming the other as he petted the others' head.

"My mom and dad….They.." Tsuna sobbed out.

"Hey Tsuna, come on, it wasn't your fault they were in the accident." Yamamoto muttered.

"But if I had stopped them, they would still be alive by now." Tsuna sniffled, wiping his tears away.

"You were still so young back then and it was generous of you to let them go." Yamamoto reassured as he pulled away from the other.

"If-" Tsuna got cut off by Yamamoto saying:

"Tsuna, none of what happened to them is your fault." Yamamoto convinced in a 'please don't answer back and just a change the topic' type of tone.

"Alright, Yamamoto so I suppose you don't regret being my friend?" Tsuna asked.

"Of course not." Yamamoto grinned

"Thanks, Yamamoto." Tsuna said as he gave a quick a hug to Yamamoto.

"No problem, but you should really start interacting with Luce-san and the others, you know?" Yamamoto suggested as he hugged Tsuna back.

"I just don't want them to get hurt…" Tsuna told him truthfully.

"Don't worry….. I'm sure they won't" Yamamoto nodded as if to say 'they're strong so don't worry.'

"Come on, let's go inside." Tsuna said, smiling albeit a small sad smile.

"I'll always be there for you, Tsuna." Yamamoto whispered to Tsuna.

"Thanks, I'll try to remember that." Tsuna replied, smiling at Yamamoto making the other blush.

Time skip~

"Dame-Tsuna, go to the canteen and buy us our regular lunch." A classmate of Tsuna demanded.

"Hey-" Yamamoto got cut off by Tsuna nodding and leaving.

"Don't side with him, Yamamoto. He's just a toy after all." Another classmate said.

"What did you say, Ryuuji?" Yamamoto growled as he turned to the other boy, grin no longer present.

"I-I said he was just a to-!" Ryuuji didn't get to finish the sentence since a fist was mere inches away from his face, a hand stopping the other's hand.

"Colonello-san!" The students uttered in fear.

"Fighting is not allowed here in school, kora!" Colonello said, letting Yamamoto's hand go.

"Ahaha, sorry there, I guess my hand just slipped." Yamamoto laughed out but there was still a hint of anger in his voice but before the other could reply back, Tsuna appeared.

"Here's your lunch!" Tsuna urgently said as he threw the lunch boxes to his classmates then left dragging Yamamoto.

"Oi, Tsuna, wait, kora!" Colonello called out as he went after the two.

The roof….

"Tsuna, that was rude." Yamamoto pouted as he looked at Tsuna making the other feel a little bit guilty.

"I know…..I'm just not ready yet, you know." Tsuna sighed as he ruffled his hair.

"Tsuna, they're strong. Have faith in them would you?" Yamamoto told the other making the other sigh again.

"You know I'm trying." Tsuna muttered as tears began to flow.

"I know but it's hurting them…. It's hurting you, Tsuna." Yamamoto whispered as he wiped Tsuna's tear streaked face.

"I love them, very dearly. I don't want them to die, Yamamoto….. I don't want you to die also." Tsuna whimpered as he wiped his tears away, proving it to be futile.

"We love you too now promise me that you'll talk to them this evening." Yamamoto ordered.

"Only if you're there." Tsuna countered as he gave a challenging grin.

" I will be." Yamamoto stated, unknown to both of them Colonello was there.

'Why would we die? Oh well, kora! I love him too…more that he could imagine.' He thought as he left the roof quietly.

Once the two went back to their respective classrooms a figure appeared.

"Your life was never normal, my dear Tsunayoshi but be strong for those who have passed away and to those who you'll meet someday. Hope will always linger. I am afraid for your future but I will have faith in you…..my brother." The figure had said then disappeared with a knowing smile on his face.
