A/N: I want to thank those who took the time to review me, they make me really happy. I want to thank ShiroYuki1827, IIBlueFoxBlazinII, Scrittorebee and i am mi-chan 'AKA Dino-Sensei for adding this story to either their favourites, following it or both. This chapter explains certain things and lets you know a little bit about what happens in the future.
Warnings: my very detailed situations tend to be too detailed, so you might get a little irritated at it. Sorry about that. I'm also not sure about the punctuation, so the commas might confuse you. As for any confusion in the last chapter because of my ingenious ways to describe Tsuna and his future self, I have given the older one a new name.
Disclaimer: I do not own KHR, because if I would then there was no way I would be living in this world, duh.
Chapter 2
The sight to which Reborn returned to, was quite hilarious. The moment he and the others had returned from their shopping, he had noticed something had changed in the house. Instead of just Tsuna he could feel another presence, it felt familiar somehow and yet completely strange. So he went up the stairs, into Tsuna's bedroom. When he opened the door he almost, almost, laughed out loud. Apparently, whoever Tsuna brought home, made himself comfortable with his 'life-sized pillow'. Tsuna hadn't thought of the fact that his guest's sleeping habits may be even worse than his own. Even when in deep sleep, Tsuna felt uncomfortable, warm and contained. As if he were pushed, no crushed, inside a warm, soft cylinder. His dream at that moment consisted of many stuffed animals surrounding him, a hot day at the beach and a pillow fight with his friends.
The one holding him, seemed at peace somehow and very content with what he was holding. However within seconds he noticed a third presence and his eyes shot open as he sat straight in bed. Of course he recognized the room, but he had to come across as confused as he was not supposed to know the room, or the people in it. It certainly wasn't supposed to be like this, he had planned his arrival a little differently; when Tsuna travelled from the future to the past, he immediately covered himself in Mist flames and gave himself the appearance of a 30 year-old male. He was supposed to end up somewhere at the edge of town and be ready within a week with preparations for his life in the past. He already knew what he was going to do; he would teach in high school. The same high school his younger self will go to, naturally, to keep an eye on him and his Guardians.
His hair was dark brown and his eyes were amethyst green. He also changed his voice a little bit, just to be on the safe side. Better safe than sorry, right? He would also wear thick glasses when going to school, they should make him less noticeable and Tsuna had a bad premonition that he would have to dress himself clumsy and stupid, as he was sure he would stand out too much in his formal clothing otherwise. But right now his biggest obstacle was Reborn. Nothing escapes him and frankly speaking, Tsuna had no idea how to get out of this situation without revealing himself. Luckily Nana chose that moment to call Reborn downstairs. Reborn turned and left without saying a word, while the older Tsuna was still acting dumbfounded. He wasn't entirely lying which made the acting a little bit easier. Still, being under the same roof as Reborn when you have no idea who you should be, isn't the ideal situation. So without really thinking anything through, Tsuna woke his younger self up. 'Huhh, uh, Wha-What?' was the reaction he got. Before he realised it his younger self was kicking the bed covers off and wildly flinging his arms around.
Tsuna slowly opened his eyes and when his eyes fell on his guest it took him a while to realise in what kind of position said guest was lying; the poor man had fallen out of bed when Tsuna was waking up and not entirely in a comfortable way, as falling face first usually doesn't really feel nice. 'Oh no, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?' Tsuna asked his guest. 'Yes, yes I'm okay. Actually I'm used to falling out of bed, so don't worry about it,' his guest said. 'By the way, thank you for bringing me home with you. I'm not sure what would have happened if you had left me there,' his guest said. 'I felt kind of bad for you, so I took you in.' 'Even though I could have been a murderer?' The older male looked at Tsuna and Tsuna looked straight back at him. 'I knew you weren't a murderer. I somehow felt like you wouldn't hurt me,' Tsuna said. 'I am Sawada Tsunayoshi, who are you? And what were you doing on the street?' 'My name is Kamaki Cecil, I'm from Italian descent and a soon-to-be teacher at Namimori high school. It's nice to meet you!' Cecil said with a smile on his face. Tsuna found himself blushing, despite being in love with Hibari. Tsuna smiled back at him, not noticing that Cecil had successfully evaded his second question. Then he looked at his alarm clock and he almost paled at the time, Reborn was going to kill him for not doing any homework. Cecil also looked at the clock and saw that it had taken him nearly two hours to wake Tsuna up. It was now around nine pm. It was quiet for a while before the sound of a tummy rumbling distracted them. 'Ahaha, I haven't eaten anything since breakfast, so do you mind if I eat something?' Cecil asked a little nervous.
The children had already gone to bed and Reborn and Nana were still in the kitchen when Tsuna and Cecil descended the stairs. 'Mom, do we have any extra dinner?' Tsuna asked a little hesitant. 'Hmmm, I think we do. Why?' his mother asked without turning away from the food she was warming up. 'I found someone on the side of the road and took him home. When I woke up he told me he hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, so I was wondering if you could make him something,' Tsuna explained. 'Oh? I see. Tsuna is so kind! Sure, sure, sit down. I'm almost finished with warming it up.' As Nana returned to her cooking, Cecil could only sweatdrop at her answer. Some things just never change, no matter what. Tsuna and Cecil sat down quietly and waited patiently for the food. As the two of them were eating, Reborn was keeping an eye on Cecil. He had a suspicious feeling about the man, as if he somehow knew him. Normal people would recognize a face, however Reborn remembers the mood and attitude someone has around them. You never know whether or not someone will have plastic surgery and not recognizing an enemy is very unfortunate as a hitman. So when he kind of recognized the mood but not the attitude, he was feeling a little confused. The mood felt kind and caring; it belonged to someone who would be able to hold a large amount of love and was able to wholeheartedly hold on to his feelings without being led astray. But his attitude was the complete opposite; though full of trust and confidence it held a certain hostility and cautiousness. This man was capable of killing a large amount of enemies with ease and not even break a sweat. Reborn also felt as if the man was holding a secret, a dark one. Reborn felt a shiver run up his spine. Out of fear or excitement, he didn't know, but he would find out what this man's secret was. The man had the exact same mood Tsuna had after all and Tsuna sucked at keeping things a secret from Reborn. Reborn smirked at that thought, if this man was like Tsuna then getting to know the secret would be easy. As Reborn was thinking that Cecil felt shivers run through his body and he just knew that even now, in this time and place, Reborn would make his life a hell.
After Tsuna and Cecil finished dinner, Cecil decided that he really had to go home, wherever that might be. 'Thank you for the hospitality, Sawada-san, Tsunayoshi-kun. Sawada-san, the food was delicious,' Cecil said. Tsuna just smiled and his mother looked a little reluctant to let the man go. 'Are you sure it's safe for you to go out this late alone? It may get a little dangerous at night,' she said. Cecil smiled at that. His mother would even get worried over a stranger she only met 40 minutes ago. 'Yes, it is not far from here. Thank you for letting me stay without asking any questions, Sawada-san,' Cecil said. 'Oh, it's nothing. And please call me Nana and you're welcome to come by at anytime again, Cecil-san,' she said. 'Then, thank you again Nana-san and Tsunayoshi-kun. I'm sure we will see each other again in the future,' Cecil said with a knowing smile.
When he walked away from the Sawada residence, he smiled at himself; his mother really hadn't changed. Even in the future she was still as trustworthy of others, which resulted in the most random people wanting to join his family, simply because they all loved his mother so much. She was a light in the dark world his Famiglia lived in, a lot of people took the kindness she showed them, knowing they were in the mafia, with gratitude as they knew not a lot of people would be kind to the mafia.
Eventually his mother found out about her husband and her son being in the mafia; Iemitsu had gotten in a really bad situation and nearly died, again, and Tsuna had gotten enough of his mother being alone and scared during situations such as this and had decided that his mother had the right to know. So against all advices, or threats in Iemitsu's case, given to him, Tsuna went to Namimori to get his mother and took her back with him to Italy. There he told her what he really did and explained everything to her. Just like Kyoko and Haru did when they were in the future, she listened through it all and looked at her son with sad but determined eyes. He also told her why Iemitsu was in the hospital. Contrary to what Tsuna thought his mother's reaction would be, his mother smiled at him, although sad, with pride. 'Thank you for telling me, Tsu-kun. I know why no one told me, but I still feel really lonely. I am glad that you are doing great and that you know you made the right choice in your life. I always had the feeling that you were doing dangerous things, but because you never told me I just had to accept everything and I simply had to wait patiently.' It was quiet for a moment, before Nana returned to her cheerful self. 'Let's visit your father, shall we?' Tsuna was half crying, half smiling at what his mother told him. His mother was far stronger than his dad gave her credit for. He now knew where he got his personality from; his mother was like the sky accepting and trusting, full of love but with caution at every suspicious act loved ones would get themselves into. At that moment he couldn't be more proud to be his mother's son. 'Yes, let's visit him,' Tsuna answered with a huge smile on his face, relieved and proud.
Naturally Iemitsu was furious at Tsuna, but nothing could top the fury Nana showed Iemitsu when Iemitsu told Tsuna that he was an idiot for bringing her here. All his guardians had been present in the private hospital room, because Tsuna had asked to be there when his mother would visit. Explaining with a cool undertone, showing that she was indeed very furious, Nana told Iemitsu that she already had her suspicions about his job and that Tsuna had already explained everything. Iemitsu was so baffled that he didn't realize the look of pure fear on the faces of, most of, the guardians. They had never, ever seen Nana so angry. They too now knew where Tsuna got his personality from and realised something about Nana; the woman was strong, stronger than any other human being probably and they were grateful for that. Because, really? Finding out that your husband and only son are highly involved in the mafia without freaking out? Not everyone would react like Nana did.
After that accident, Tsuna had removed his father as head of CEDEF so that he could spend more time with his wife, as Nana had told him that she was lonely. The lack of knowing she could accept, but the loneliness she'd rather do without. They still lived in Italy, but a little farther away from the village than most of Tsuna's Famiglia. That way he could visit them and they could visit him; something his mother did a lot. She would often bring food with her, for all the new people, or the guests on some occasions, in the house. That is how everyone in the village came to know Nana Sawada and Tsuna's Famiglia.
When Cecil arrived at an apartment building, he went to the landlady to ask if he could rent an apartment for a while. Normally she would've said no, but the man in front of her felt trustworthy, not to mention extremely charming, so she said yes. Giving him the key to an apartment on the highest floor, she said that he was the only one on the floor as not many people would want to live on the highest floor. Thanking her, Cecil took the key and walked to the elevator. Arriving in his new home, Cecil immediately went to the bedroom and dropped himself on the bed, not even bothering to take off his clothes or shoes. As sleep took him over he wondered how Kyouya was doing and if he had found the tape.
A/N: Thank you for reading this story. I hope that you enjoyed it and please tell me what you think about it. The reason I updated so fast is because it is vacation here in Holland and I might not be able to update a lot because school starts again next week and I might get a little busy. Sorry for the coming inconvenience. Please tell me about any mistakes I have made, because I read this so many times, I can't see the mistakes anymore. And is it me, or are these chapters getting longer and longer...?
