Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or its characters, they belong to Akira Amano! Maybe if I do own it, it wouldn't be as successful and beautiful as the original one so people keep on supporting the KHR until they came back into our televisions!
People, I gladly present, Chapter 4!
Chapter Four- Unexpected News & Decision
Tsuna looked up to his tutor in confusion, what does he meant when he said 'You need to leave'?
"R-reborn, what do you mean?" Tsuna asked.
"Listen Tsuna, you need to take this seriously." Reborn lowered down his fedora hat. "A mafia group is coming to Namimori within 24 hours. According to the details I have received, two mafia groups are already heading to Japan three days ago. The other one was only waiting in the southeast pacific coast while the other is still in Italy. Gladly, she managed to put the other Mafia group that was in Italy into silence. But since the other group is only kilometers away from Japan, it would only take time before they arrive here and they brought hundred thousands of mafia men."
"A-and?" Tsuna waited for Reborn to continue.
"It simply means that Namimori would be a Great War zone, idiot! We all know that Japan was never been the center for the Vongola, it was in Italy. We don't have bases here until 10 years passed. Now I want to know what your plans are."
Tsuna knew that he and his guardians can face those men, but he was not sure about it. Namimori is not the place where bloodshed should take place. They only have 24 hours before they arrive and he was wondering why Reborn told it to him the day before, it was a complete nonsense! He looked to his demonic tutor that is still waiting for his answer.
"R-reborn….." Tsuna took a deep breath, "WHY DID YOU JUST INFORM ME ABOUT 24 HOURS BEFORE IT HAPPEN? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?"
"Dame-Tsuna, I knew that your idiot brain would only properly work if you are such in a pressure. It was better to be this way." Reborn lowered down his hat for the second time.
'He still thinks it to be good? What kind of person is he?' But Tsuna knew this is not a big joke. He needs to decide this quick yet correct. "I was just wondering…." Tsuna looked to his tutor seriously, "why do I need to do this?"
"Dame-Tsuna, of course since you are the boss now, you hold more responsibility now than before. Don't tell me I need to remind you again. I don't exist to become your personal assistant; I'm here because I need to guide you as your tutor." Reborn explained.
"I know those things, no need to explain it further more." Tsuna closed his eyes in despair, "I know I hold responsibility now for the Vongola. I knew it since that is the reason why I get to know you, meet Gokudera-kun and others, go to the future and defeat Byakuran, accomplish my inheritance with the Primo and his guardians and to meet Enma and the Shimon Family. B-but, I just don't get it. Do I only exist to lead a mafia family? I now realized that I can't live in a normal life anymore. Wherever I go, danger still awaits. I might also endanger those people who are very close to my heart. I just don't get it. Do I only live for a purpose of being targeted?" Tsuna said finally opening his eyes, looking straightly to his tutor.
"It depends on how you turn your fate, dame-Tsuna. Being a boss is truly hard. Even Primo on earlier times struggled so much just to protect other people. Remember, you cannot always live the life you dreamt of. There would always be the dangers or problems that you might encounter, but everything has a purpose. Believe me." Reborn finally met the gaze of his student. "Now quit your dramas, it doesn't suit you."
"R-reborn…" Tsuna finally smiled. He knew it, even though Reborn acts like a devilish brat, he still cares for him. He's right. Everything has a reason, everything has a purpose. He finally decided to give an answer to Reborn's question a while ago. "You have known me for a long time now. Maybe you know me much better than I, myself. Of course you knew from the start that I would rather protect others than myself."
Reborn let out a smirk, "I see, so you chose to leave Japan, am I right?"
"Y-yes." Tears slowly started to run down from Tsuna's eyes. He tried to stop it but it seems that he can't. He will miss Japan above all things. The place who he almost thought that was forsaken ever since he was born from the start. Golden moments of his life happened here. Flashbacks suddenly dashed out from his mind. Without knowing it, tears started to fall down from Tsuna's eyes. "B-but what about my friends?" he asked, trying not to cry but he seems that he can't stop it anymore from falling.
"You were the last one who is informed regarding this thing. The first one was Hibari. I know you still remember about the right hand man thing right?" Reborn smirked, "… I ordered him to have a small fight with you so that you will be able to have someone to give you advices. It just took some time before I convinced him to go with us. Finally, he agreed when I told him that once you are already in Italy, you will be heading a construction of an underground passage from there to Namimori.
"W-what kind of idea is that?" Tsuna said trying to wipe the tears that endlessly coming down from his eyes.
"It's the idea of your very cool tutor." Reborn displayed a grin. "Moving on, Mukuro was next. Just today, you have bought him a gift right? The reason why he keeps on acting like that for the past days is because of this issue too. To convince him, I told him that once you have already arrived in Italy, he was free to try to possess you so that he can destroy the mafia easily." Tsuna sweat drop at this. "I also told him that a passage would also be constructed that will connect the Vongola headquarters to the Kokuyo land."
"B-but that will cost so much! Where would we get the funds from it?"
"That's simple." Reborn let out a devilish grin, "The funds will be coming from your monthly salary as a boss. I have computed it already and the result was you will not be receiving any salary for two years."
"How cruel was that!" Tsuna was starting to feel that he was being abused.
"Just work hard okay." Reborn now continued explaining. "Among all your guardians, Yamamoto and Gokudera were the easiest to convince. Yamamoto agreed because he believes that you can be a great boss and since it was for the sake of protecting people. In return, you will give him a baseball court including baseball equipment once we have arrived in Italy."
"Let me guess," Tsuna let out a heavy sigh. "These will still be deducted on my salary as a boss…"
"Of course yes. Meanwhile, Gokudera without any explanation, agreed since it is for his beloved Jyuudaime."
'As what is expected from Gokudera-kun' Tsuna seems to expect nothing more or less from Gokudera. After all, he was the LEGAL right hand man now. "B-but Reborn, how about onii-san? I'm sure he will not leave Kyoko-chan alone. Did he agree at the first place?" Tsuna asked.
"Yes. First of all, I disguised myself as 'Master Pao Pao' and I told him that training will be conducted in Italy. He agreed on that matter since he said that a man should be a man. He later questioned things regarding Kyoko, but I told him some things and so he agreed." Reborn replied. "You don't need to worry about Lambo too, since Nana will be living in Italy according to Imetetsu."
"Kaa-san is joining us too? Did you spill something regarding the mafia? How did she react? What did she do?" Tsuna said, worriedly.
"Calm down, Dame-Tsuna. Your father decided to still keep this as a secret from her. Don't worry, he will take care of the rest."
"I see, b-but how about Kyoko and Haru? Are they going with us too?" Tsuna asked. He doesn't know if they should join, it might be dangerous. But part of him says that without them, he will feel incomplete. He already get used with them being always there for him. He doesn't want to go without them. That's what his heart says.
"Tsuna, it's up to you. I did not inform them about anything." Reborn turned his back against his student. "Tomorrow at sunset, we'll be leaving. The Vongola will not leave any traces behind. That simply means that you will be leaving the school, this house will be vacant and all mafia related persons will be leaving as if they did not settled here. Those people who has nothing to do with the mafia must stay, we don't want to disturb their lives. You to as a boss should follow this. It is for the sake of Namimori. Our main target would be like the Namimori was never been a place for the Vongola. Did you understand?" Reborn asked, almost leaving the room.
"W-wait! Why do we need to act as if we have never lived here? I mean, this place is my home. It would be very hard for me!" Tsuna protested.
"Then be strong enough for it!" Reborn shouted. "You need to be strong since you are the core. If you become weak, it will be the start of our downfall. The boss would always affect his comrades. You might compare it into a domino effect, so you need to stand still! You have encountered so much, so don't tell me that this would be the time when you will fall into your knees. I have trained you for that!"
"R-reborn…" Tsuna was shocked. His hyper intuition tell him that not only him feels hard about this. Somehow, he can feel Reborn's loneliness too. Maybe he became attached to this place so much. Tsuna breathed deeper. "…sorry if I was selfish."
"It's fine." Reborn replied, seriousness was across all over his face. He will almost close the door behind him when he remembered something important to tell to Tsuna. "One more thing…"
"Hm?"
"Be sure to tell her your goodbyes."
"Eh? What do you mean?" To Tsuna's surprise, his question was left hanging as Reborn already closed the door. He lied to his bed as if a man in prayer with open arms. This would be hard for him, he was sure for it. He can feel the tears dwelling up in his eyes again, threatening to fall any moment. The pain slowly crept in his heart and coldness to his body. The tears slowly fall from his eyes. He was now not ashamed of crying. For him it is a sign of bravery than holding it up. The pain was scorching him slowly, as if a dagger strikes at him directly. It was painful to leave the place where you grew up and have fun with your friends. It was hard to accept on leaving it. Thoughts kept on ringing in his mind. A lot will happen tomorrow, the end of your past chapter and the start of your new chapter. He turned his body sideward, facing the wall of his room. 'Looks like tomorrow will be a very long day, just like my tears not showing any signs of stopping.' He positioned himself like a ball, wanting to keep himself warm for the evening's cold breeze of air. Without knowing it, the young boss drifted to sleep.
