Chapter 4
So close, yet so far

"Its getting late. I guess we will look for the others in the morning," G tiredly said.

"Why?" Asari asked confused.

"We look too suspicious and people are staring. Alaude told us, we should at least try to go for a low profile," G tiredly rubbed his face.

They were walking around town with Takeshi and Hayato following them. Now that is starting to be late with the sun going down, Takeshi and Hayato lagged behind them feeling tired. After leaving to search for Tsuna in the middle of the night in their time, they entered a different time period in the morning. The lack of sleep has caught up to them.

"Good luck with that," muttered Hayato before letting out a large yawn.

"Why are you following us anyways?" G asked suspicious of the look-alikes. Hayato couldn't respond because he was trying not to trip over his feet from the lethargy.

"Can we stay with you?" Takeshi suddenly asked. Next to him, Hayato stared at Takeshi in disbelief.

"Of course! The more the merrier!" G tripped this time by the quick response from Asari.

"Asari!" hissed G.

Asari looked disappointed at G, "Are you seriously going to leave a couple of children out in the streets? Look at them, ready to fall asleep on their feet."

"Oi! We only couple of years younger than you!" protested Hayato somehow his indignation waking him up.

"Yet mentally, you are a child," someone chuckled behind them. Hayato growled and turned around, but saw no one.

"What..?" G looks around and tensed. He fingered his pistol on his side.

Hayato impatiently stared in front of him and seemed to ask the air, "Found anything?"

"Kufufu, you would know if we found him," Mukuro materialize. G and Asari took a step back and took out their weapons.

"Sh**! He looks just like him!" G cursed out while Asari watched warily.

"How rude! Why does everyone keep comparing me with that second-rate illusionist?" pouted Mukuro.

"I see you found your friends, " Knuckle arrived carrying Lambo. He brightens up when he saw G and Asari, "WHAT A BLESSED DAY! IT HAS BEEN A WHILE TO THE MAXIMUS!"

"Please tell me Lampo successfully created a time bullet he keeps going on about?" G asked warily at the little boy on Knuckles shoulders.

"Gwahaha! I am not that scaredy-cat idiot Lampo! I am Lambo and I have a ti-" Lambo began to boast.

"Oi you little midget brat! You hadn't been getting a sugar high instead of looking for him have you?" Hayato interrupted, not willing to give hints that they are time-travelers.

"You big meanie! I bet you didn't find nii-san either!" Lambo started to tear up. Hayato ignored him as he tried to rub off the sleep off his eyes.

"Hush child, he probably like G here and only say mean things when he is worried," Knuckle consoled the child. Then turned to G and Asari looking warily at the smirking Mukuro, "Then that would mean Lampo is still wandering around."

"You mean you lost him?!" G shouted.

In the meantime Takeshi poked Hayato awake until the storm user pushed him off. Mukuro laughed and insulted Hayato for being a failure of a right hand man. The storm guardian wasn't having it and threw unlit dynamite in retaliation.

"Well, we separated and said he will get some disguises especially when these children will be following us. Something about looking for someone important to them," then laughed, "I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISE IT WILL BE SOMEONE THAT LOOKS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE GIOTTO TO THE MAXIMUS!"

"-So how's the future? Has anyone invented a time machine or gun yet?" Lampo just entered the lobby with Ryohei and silent Chrome, who was very sleepy. The others stared at the arriving trio who were carrying a bag of clothes, but it was the ongoing conversation that caught their attention.

"YES! OUR EXTREMELY YOUNGEST LITTLE BRO THAT EXTREMELY LOOKS LIKE YOU, USE TO HAVE ONE, BUT IT WAS-!"

"Ryohei!" Hayato pulled his hair in frustration, "How much did you tell to that gossiper?!"

"Everything," Lampo looking very smug, "how you guys are from the future and somehow convince us that we accepted you as our successors."

"…" The First generation guardians stared at Lampo then at the future guardians.

"What?" Asari nervously laughed.

"Wow, sempai! And to think Hayato been trying to keep me quiet," Takeshi turned to a murderous-looking Hayato, "guess the cat is out of the bag, or is it Uri is out of the bag?" Hayato shook in anger. He tried to count and muttering Juudaime wouldn't want him to kill the others.

"I'm sorry, Storm-san, I was distracted and by the time I joined them again, he already told him," Chrome looked very dejected making Hayato sigh.

"…its been too long of day," G said after staring at Lampo wondering if its another joke of his.

"SO HAS ANYONE EXTREMELY SEEN KYOYA?" Ryohei asked trying to change the subject.

"So?" Miku grins very suspiciously that leaves Tsuna feeling wary.

"Ano…" Tsuna was unsure to respond, so he decided to introduce himself, "My name is Tsunayoshi and I'm…lost and I'm looking for a way back?"

"Hello Tsunayoshi! My name is Miku Sawada and I am glad you are here," she smiled brightly for a minute too long before Tsuna heard a thump under the table. Primo suddenly flinched.

"Please call me Ieyasu," he smiled a blank smile. Tsuna stared confused and saw at the corner of his eye how Miku looked strained before beaming saying something silly making Ieyasu laugh.

"So you're around here, but not here?" Miku asked casually as she served Tsuna food.

"Eh?" Tsuna mentally panicked.

"Well your Japanese is different from ours, but I can tell you are Japanese," Ieyasu pointed out. Then he got distracted as he watched Miku putting the food to the farthest part of the table from where he was. He tried not to pout when he realized Miku had not even serve him food.

Tsuna stared as he saw Primo gave the biggest puppy eyes at Miku. For a second it seemed to work, but she broke out a mischievous smirk. Primo sighed.

"So are you part of the Italian yakuza?" Miku innocently asked, "pass the salt Ieyasu dear."

"They're called mafia, Miku-chan," he corrected as he reached the salt on his way to serve himself food. Tsuna stares wide eyed at them of how casual they spoke about this.

"Ah," Ieyasu sighs, "so are you here in vacation or for something else?" Ieyasu practically sees through Tsuna. He tries not to fidget.

"Ieyasu, you're so paranoid," Miku lightly scolded Primo,"you said you left no trail and besides, does he look dangerous to you?"

"You never know," mumbled Ieyasu. He turned to Tsuna, "who are you really?"

Tsuna quickly though of a half-truth, "I'm a...distant relative of yours."

The older Sawada couple stared at him.

"How distant-?" He began, but Miku shouted.

"You're from the future!"

"Miku.." Ieyasu chuckles, but froze when he saw Tsuna gaps at her and his intuition agreed with her, "well then..."

A day or more in Tsuna's case may have passed in the past, but for Reborn it only been minutes. The Vindice guards and the Vongola mechanics beg to differ.

"What do you mean, you seen a similar case?" Reborn asked. Normally he wouldn't ask especially Bermuda, but what he knows a long time has passed and the guardians are yet to make contact with his student. Apparently the tracking trip became damage through the time jump, only working to estimate the time period.

"Hm? You ask something? To me?" Bermuda drawled.

Reborn rolled his eyes and distracted himself with ways to punish his student for keeping this from him and dealing with Bermuda.

It was silent for a couple of more minutes before Bermuda commented, "Its true he is just like him in appearance and type of resolve, but the boy is different. Stronger? Well, we'll see."

If the guards cared for breathing or not busy with the flame jar that balances the Tri-ni-set, they would sigh in relief of the silence and no jabs giving between Reborn and their boss that may lead to the destruction of Vindicare Prison. Again.

Tsuna helps around the house and Miku whenever she couldn't reach for something in her pregnant state.

He still not sure how she figured out that he was from the future.

Primo just chuckles when he sees Tsuna confused. He then explains, "One wonders if she is the one with the intuition, but she isn't always like that." He gave a goofy look at his wife who was making clothes for their child, "Yet she doesn't mind that she overlooks things so obvious and the most outrageous ones, she accepts. Its rather endearing."

Miku stops sewing, feeling someone staring at her. She looks up and blushes before looking out the window.

"Goodness, its late!" Ieyasu helps her get up, "Oh thank you, Ieyasu, reminds me of a noble boy who helped me earlier and help me get this free fabric!"

"Oh that is nice..." Primo's eyes became unfocused with a melancholy air about him. Miku pulled Ieyasu down and kissed his cheek, "You know that was after I told him to use your tab to pay for their clothes."

Primo blinked and stared at her. She smiled mischievously, "Three young teens with a full wardrobe," Ieyasu gaped at her, "its what happens when you miss my best lunch dear." She gave a look in disappointment.

Tsuna looks away at the private moment between the Sawada couple. I wonder if Dad had stayed, will this would have been my life? He felt slightly jealousy of his unborn ancestor, but happy that at least Primo is happily married. Though it begs the question, where is the other guardians? Primo has yet speak about them and Tsuna knows for sure he loves his famiglia.

He would think more about it tomorrow since Miku-san practically dragged him into a funton to sleep in.

"Goodnight little Tuna," Miku kissed his forehead before leaving to join Ieyasu into bed.

G and Asari thought they were the first to be up, but Hayato and Takeshi were having some kind of drink or tea at the lobby of the inn.

"Took you long enough," Hayato commented as he typed into his phone (G and Asari had no idea what it was, but figured since they're from the future, they didn't worry, much).

"Says the kid who was falling asleep on his feet," mumbled G.

"Haha, that's true!" Hayato glared at Takeshi, but said nothing.

"We are going to the street market to get information, want to join us?" Asari calmly smiled ignoring G signs of telling him to shut up.

"Sure why not?" Hayato shrugged, but Takeshi could tell, he is getting a kick by riling up G. His eyes did soften when he saw Hayato staring at the orange V-X Phone for a minute too long. The current Vongola Rain guardian put up his smiled and slap Hayato's back.

"Maa, maa, the day isn't getting younger," Hayato gave a half-hearten glare, but nodded.

The former guardians felt they were missing something, but went on ahead to the open air market.

It was starting to get full when they arrived. There were many vendors for food and miscellaneous items. Some were cheap, but some of the foreign looking items seemed too expensive.

"Don't forget to buy the tuna!" a woman yelled to her side. She turned and faced with the two young men. She blushed in embarrassment, but grinned.

"Pardon me," she bowed and tried to go around them. She frowned. Asari turned to see what she was looking at and saw a suited person yelling profanities in Italian to a poor vendor. The vendor has no idea what they are saying, but he was upset that they were trying to steal his merchandise right in front of him.

"Ieyasu should've come," sighed the woman. Asari didn't like how the young woman waddle toward a potential dangerous situation in her pregnant condition.

"G!" Asari hissed the storm user, who was in front of him asking questions to a vendor. G glared at him, but the vendor sighs in relief that would have made Asari suspicious, but right then he was on a mission. He signaled to the woman trying to calm the obvious Italian suit man. G groans.

"Reminds me of a certain idiot friend of ours," G groans. Asari pats his shoulder in sympathy.

The walked to the woman when G cursed as he saw the man was going to push the woman down. Fortunately Takeshi and Hayato shows up and stops them.

"Maa, maa, lets not be hasty," Takeshi calmly says, but his eyes were hard on the Italian man.

Hayato guides the woman away when she gasps, "Oh!"

Everyone turns to her worried. The Italian man takes this as a cue to escape, but not before looking suspiciously at her.

"Are you alright, miss?" Asari asked.

"Its Miku," she beams, "I'm alright y the way. My child just kicked me," she gives a soft smile that made Hayato and Takeshi feel an ache, "probably scolding me for my foolishness."

"Good kid," G mumbled. He turned to look for the vendor, but he disappeared. G cursed again.

"Oh did you want some rice?" Miku asks as she rubs her stomach.

"Nah, we just looking for someone," Takeshi shrugged, but Miku sees a slight pain from the four. She decides not to push it.

"I wish you luck on whatever you are seeking," she picks up her basket, "now if you excuse me, I have to quicken my errands and find my grandson," she chuckles to herself, "and warn my husband for trouble from earlier."

After she left, G stares suspiciously behind her, "She's too young to be grandmother..."

"Probably from her husband side," Takeshi points out.

"Yeah some woman marry young and she could be his second marriage," Hayato comments, but shrugs, "whatever, I am off to search Juudaime."

Suddenly Kyoya landed in front of him. Hayato glares at him, but before he asks for a report, Takeshi speaks up.

"Nice cloak Hibari-san!" Takeshi gives him a thumbs up.

"Hn," Kyoya nodded and turned to the former guardians, "The carnivore who is hunting me is waiting at the checkpoint." Then the Vongola Cloud guardian took off again.

"…what?" G's eye twitched.

"Must have caught Alaude-san's attention," Hayato translated then resigned he asks, "you guys know the where Alaude wanted to meet up with you?"

"Yeah to a bar nearest to the harbor," Asari chuckled, "he prefers not to, but he's willing to meet up there as rendezvous whenever we spread out for information."

Tsuna walks around town carrying a bag of tuna. He wore a hat Primo let him borrow, not feeling up for questions of his relation to Primo. He rubs his forehead remembering the soft warmth when he went into HDWM and the flame flaring on his forehead. Now he feels cold and empty. The feeling to leave his friends and the mafia was becoming stronger.

Ever since he somewhat recovered from the Time Jump Incident, a slight feeling that has nothing to do with his intuition, wanted him to leave his friends. He began fearing what he feels when he is neared them. As time went on and seeing how his friends trained to become stronger, Tsuna excused himself with studying claiming he needs to get his grades up before starting to train again after he completely recovers or do papework.

Tsuna still not sure how Reborn didn't caught on, but he guesses everyone are just grateful he is still there with them instead of jumping through time.

Maybe its best if I don't go back home and stay here, Tsuna stops walking. He suddenly feels like drowning and like fading away. His breath quickens and panics, but before he feels like passing out, someone crashes into him.

"Japanese, so tiny and weak," the man who crashed into Tsuna mutters in Italian. Tsuna looks up confused and realizes there were a lot of men in suits around town. His eyes narrows as he felt his intuition spark a warning.

Tsuna passed by more men in suits speaking in hushed tones in Italian. What are they doing here? He thinks and heard only that they were asking a place to stay. Tsuna tries to follow them to the bar when one of the town officials called him.

"Ieyasu's little brother!" Tsuna blushed at this and turned around.

"I-I not his little brother-" Tsuna tried to explain, but the official interrupted him.

"Can you ask Ieyasu-dono to come by later, people are feeling uncomfortable by the sheer amount of foreigners. Also, we have papers we forgot to give him earlier, so if you follow me to get them," the town official instructed.

"Alright," Tsuna sighed and followed the town official to the office. Tsuna straighten his cap to hide his hair and bumped into a tall man with a long trench coat.

"Sorry-" Tsuna began to look up, but the town official called his attention again.

"Hurry! I don't want you to face Miku-sama's wrath for being late for lunch!" Tsuna hurried after him by the threat.
