Aizel: Okay people. I would like to start this chapter with a thank you to the following reviewers- Aya- chan, Reimmei MacGregor, Gelato. V, Seriyuu, and ThreeWayDart. These guys really motivated me to write this chapter a bit faster.

Sapphire: So, how was the test?

Aizel: * sulks in emo corner * Why do you have to remind me?

Sapphire: No reason. I was just bored.

Aizel: You're lucky you don't have to take these tests. It was really hard.

Sapphire: That's because you didn't study that much. Next time read books instead of this.

Aizel: NO!!!

Sapphire: Then I'll tell your teachers what you said just now.

Aizel: I mean, I will read books but fanfics too. Both are really important to me. It was because of books that I learn about our history, science, language, etc. Fanfics are also important to me because it was the only thing that gave me a goal in my life.

Sapphire: … I just gave you advice. We don't need any of your bad speeches. It's really lame.

Aizel: And I don't need any of your attitudes. Okay you guys before I go crazy on Sapphire, in today's chapter Mukuro finally knows that Tsuna and his Tsu- chan are the same person. Feeling excited? I know I am.

Sapphire: And I know I'm definitely not.

Namimori Park….

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

Is his eye … red?

Tsuna was shocked. Why is it like that? Why didn't he tell anyone about this? What else is he hiding? Many thoughts were running in his head at the moment, he almost didn't notice that Mukuro was getting closer to the bush he's currently hiding in. Because he was still surprised at what was happening to his friend he tripped over a rock. ' Shit. ' he thought.

" Who's there? " Mukuro looked around after covering his right eye, hoping that no one saw it.

" I- It's me. " Tsuna stood up with his head hanging low.

" Tsunayoshi- kun? What are you doing here at this hour? "

" I should be asking you the same thing. " he looked at Mukuro.

" … You saw it didn't you? "

" Well… yes, I sorta did. "

" So that means you're going to stay away from me, right? "

" What? Who told you that? " Tsuna felt angry and guilty at the same time. " You're my friend, Mukuro. Nothing or no one's gonna change that. "

" Promise? "

" Of course. Okay so tell me, why is your eye … different? " he sat down before gesturing Mukuro to sit as well.

" Honestly, I have no idea why I had it. When I was a younger, both of my eyes were of the same color. But then one day after I got out of bed my right eye turned red. I even asked my parents if they knew, they said it's natural for me to have one. I didn't understand what they said so I asked more questions, but my parents didn't say anything else, instead they wanted me to wear this contact lens to keep people from looking at it."

" So that's how it started? I'm really sorry you had to suffer that. "

" Suffer? Don't worry its fine. At first it was hard but I'm getting used to it. Besides it's not your fault. " he patted Tsuna on the head. " So why are you here? "

" That's because—Oh no. I was supposed to give these to kaa-san. I'm so dead. "

" I better get going too. I'll see you tomorrow, Tsunayoshi- kun. " Mukuro kissed his hand. Tsuna retracted his hand and blushed.

" O- okay. See you. " he grabbed the things that he bought and walked away.

Gym time …

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

" Jyuudaime!!! "

" Gokudera- kun, Yamamoto. Sorry I didn't get to walk with you to school today. I want to be early for once. "

" It's alright, Tsuna. At least you're safe. "

" What? "

" I mean … at least you didn't get into a fight with Hibari again. " Yamamoto nervously said.

" Oh right. You know what, I'm kind of glad I didn't see him today. I'm in a really good mood and I don't want him ruining it. "

" Tsunayoshi- kun. "

" Hey, Mukuro. What do you think we'll be doing today? " as if on cue, the teacher came in.

" Okay everyone, we'll be doing dodge ball. Its boys vs. girls. " the gym teacher said, carrying a huge crate of dodge balls.

" Let's do our best, Jyuudaime. "

" Good luck Tsuna. "

" Let's all have fun Tsunayoshi- kun. " Tsuna warmly smiled at his friends.

But unknown to them, they didn't notice that most of the girls were glaring at Tsuna. " That bastard. " one of them said. " How dare he take away our guys? First, Yamamoto and Gokudera. And now Mukuro? "

" I think someone should teach him a lesson for stealing them from us. " the other girl smirked as an idea formed in her head.

" W- Wait. You can't do that to Tsuna- kun. He's just friends with them." Kyoko argued after hearing the conversation.

" She's right. Sawada never did anything bad to you anyway. " Hana defended her friend.

" If the two of you aren't going to help us, then go AWAY. " she glared at the two.

" Okay, stop chattering and let's play. " with that the teacher blew the whistle, signaling the class to start throwing the dodge balls. After a few minutes passed, the only ones left were Tsuna, Mukuro, Gokudera, Yamamoto, and a few of the jealous girls. When Tsuna noticed one of them smirking at him, he knew something bad is going to happen. And just like what Tsuna predicted, he got hit in the chest … three times.

" TSUNAYOSHI- KUN!!!! " Mukuro as well as Yamamoto and Gokudera ran to his friend's side covered in blood. " Are you okay? Speak to me. "

" Why you, bitches. How dare you hurt Jyuudaime? " Gokudera shouted and tried to attack the now scared girls, but Yamamoto blocked him. " You idiot. Are you siding with them? "

" If I were you I wouldn't be causing a riot here, otherwise he'll have our heads. " he whispered low enough for only the other to hear. Gokudera tensed up. It was already clear to them what their mission was. Protect the heir, and beat the enemy NOT the innocent.

" Gokudera, Yamamoto, Rokudo. Take Sawada to the infirmary. " the teacher said, before the three hurriedly carried Tsuna and went off. When the girls looked at the teacher straight in the eyes, they knew with one look what the teacher was thinking.

Detention.

When the boys reached the school clinic, the nurse was shocked. She told the three to place Tsuna on the bed. After doing what they were told to do, the nurse advised them to wait outside until she finished treating his wounds. After a few minutes passed, the nurse finally came out and said " Don't worry, he'll be fine. He just needs to rest. You can come in if you want. " and with that she left.

After coming in, they saw Tsuna wrapped with bandages on his head and chest. They were about to sit on the chairs beside the bed when Gokudera's cellphone rang.

" Excuse us. This idiot and I need to take this call. " he said, dragging Yamamoto outside leaving Mukuro and Tsuna alone in the room.

" H- Hello? " Gokudera said after they went inside an empty classroom.

" Gokudera. It's me Sawada Iemitsu. You and Yamamoto need to go to Namimori Park. "

" W- Why? "

" Our sources told me there was a sighting of our enemy there, so you have to go as soon as possible. No complaints, got it? "

" Yes, sir. " Gokudera said before the call ended. " Yamamoto, there's an enemy in the park. We have to go there now. "

" What about Tsuna? " he asked worryingly.

" It's the king's order. We have no choice. Besides Mukuro's with him, so he's safe. "

" You're right. Let's go. " he said before they disappeared in a second.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

Back to the clinic

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

" … Hey Tsuna. Sorry I couldn't protect you back there. I guess it's my fault that those girls did that. You could say I'm a useless friend. Just like how useless I was nine years ago to my close friend. You know you are exactly like him. You're both nice, kind, and most of all honest. Heck, the two of you even have the same hairstyle. It's like you two are … the same … person. " Mukuro stopped. His eyes widened in confusion.

' Could Tsu- chan be him? I can't believe it. Nine years. I finally found him after nine long years. But what if I'm wrong. What if he isn't Tsu- chan? Does that mean ?I can never see him again. Does it mean tha— " Mukuro was snapped from his thoughts when he heard Tsuna mumble something in his sleep.

" Please… "

" Tsunayoshi- kun, are you alright? Please wake up. "

" K- Kyou- chan… Kuro- chan… please don't go. " Tsuna rolled over to face Mukuro, revealing the chain necklace that he wore around his neck.

… It is him.
