Chapter Four
Regeneration
He was warm.
A feeling he hadn't had since…he wasn't sure…but it was warm and comforting and all encompassing.
His body still felt incredibly weak and his mind was hazy with exhaustion. He wasn't sure how he had survived all this time with so little strength.
He shifted his body slowly and carefully, moving further into the warmth that was spreading all of the warm air around him. He wanted more of that warmth, he wanted to take it into himself and use it to make himself stronger.
He wanted this warmth to be his own, to protect him, to help him become stronger, and to bring his true power to the surface.
He ignored the ache in his chest and the feeling that he was about to lose something important.

"He'll be destroyed! Tsuna will no longer be a Sky if you don't unseal him now!" Harry shouted as he glared down the Ninth.
"That's impossible." Coyote stated aggravated aura surrounding him. "When one has an element, it cannot change, no matter what happens. They die as that element."
"You're a fool if you believe that." Harry shot back with a scowl before he closed his eyes and concentrated. "Don't speak of things you don't understand!"
Nono gasped as flames flared out from the Varia member and the astonishment he felt from the feeling of those cold flames turned warm. "You can't have been."
"I was." Harry agreed and opened his emerald eyes to glare at the Ninth. "I have my Cloud Flames now." He explained. He ignored the ticklish feeling from his hair flying around him, careful to make sure this fangs didn't pierce his lip in his anger.
"Tsuna." Iemitsu whispered. "He'll be destroyed?" He questioned as he looked at the ground, wondering if his son's pure and powerful flames were already starting to crack and change into something else.
"Yes." Harry stated once more. "The only way to stop the destruction of his Sky Flames is to go to the Varia and remove the seal entirely."
Timoteo nodded in agreement as he stood up. "Then I will go and do so. I've only removed a few seals before but I should still be able to do it for Tsuna, for my grandson." He stated as he got to his feet. "Will you lead the way there, to the Varia mansion?"
Harry gave a wolfish grin just before his form changed into that of a wolf and took back out of the door.
"Are you sure you wish to trust what he says?" Coyote questioned as he waved Ganauche out of the office and to the infirmary to get his arm fixed up. "He is the Guardian of Xanxus, the one who tried to forcibly take over Vongola."
"I'm sure I can." Timoteo stated as he looked at his Storm Guardian. "I want you to stay here and get everything back in order. Make sure the injured are taken care of and that repairs are started." He ordered before turning to a still horrified Iemitsu. "Come Iemitsu, you will be my escort for this, after all this was you and I that started this."
Iemitsu looked up at the ninth, face still struck with horror and confusion. HE nodded his head in agreement though as the two began to walk out of the office.
"That Iemitsu…" Ganauche said with trepidation. "You think he'll be able to protect Timmy effectively in that state?"
Coyote scoffed and shook his head. "I doubt it. Tim will be the one protecting him until that idiot gets his head out of his ass."
"No kidding there."

Xanxus growled as he looked down at the teenager held close to his side, watching closely as a familiar sense invaded his senses. It was the same one from when he had met a Sky that had fractured and gone into discordance. The trash he had now was not going to last much longer before he fell into discordance and lost the Sky Flames he held. "He doesn't have much more time." He said with a scowl to himself. "Hurry up Trash."
That's about the time that thudding footsteps could be heard coming. Xanxus's smirk appeared on his face for only a second but disappeared when two more sets of footsteps echoed down to him. "Damn it, guess it can't be helped." He scoffed as the door was nudged opened to reveal a black nose and then the dark furred head of a wolf with emerald eyes. "Get in here with those two trash, he doesn't have much more time."
Though it wasn't visible to most people, Xanxus was a sky and so could see, in a sense, the cracks appearing in Tsuna's flames. He could see how they were all the flames that made up a Sky was starting to separate and fight over the strongest of the elements. "He's splitting."
The wolf growled at that before turning to the Ninth and tossing his head in the direction of Tsuna and Xanxus, both laid out on the gigantic bed in the middle of the room. Tsuna was held closely to the Varia leader's body. Sky flames were cloaking the entire room, coming from Xanxus, saturating everything in the room.
'It's delaying the splitting that Tsuna is undergoing but it won't last for much longer.' Harry thought as he watched the Ninth approach the bed with a sorrowful expression. 'You have to unseal him now!' Harry thought and wanted to tell but couldn't. To avoid absorbing anymore energy from Xanxus, he had to stay in wolf form, disconnected from everyone but his own energy.
Timoteo looked down at the sweating form of the Decimo. The boy looked so much smaller and weaker next to Xanxus and in the condition he was in, even more vulnerable than ever. "It seems that I have done you a great wrong, Tsunayoshi." He stated as he concentrated on pulling up his flames, pushing it into his cane, and concentrated it to put it to use. "I'll have to undo that wrong now before too much more damage can be done." He stated as he brought his cane forward and laid it against Tsuna's head.
Iemitsu watched as the Ninth concentrated his flames and then directed them into Tsuna, like he had so many years ago. He still couldn't believe the damage that he could see in his son at the moment. Being a Sky he could see all the cracks and fissures that had appeared in the once pure Sky flames.
His son had literally begun to be torn apart. "Oh Tsuna…what have I done to you?" He questioned as he closed his eyes and clutched his fists. "How could I hurt my son so badly?"
"Because you're trash." Xanxus spat at the blonde. "You knew nothing and did something you had no knowledge about. Ignorant Fuck."
Iemitsu glowered at his feet as he realized how right the Varia leader was.
Now they could only wait and see if the Ninth could heal what had been done or if the little Sky would break apart.
VC
His body ached terribly. His soul hurt. His mind felt as if it was being broken.
He didn't think he could hold on much longer.
Even as the warmth around him converged further onto him, trying to help him in some way. He wasn't sure why or how it was supposed to help him.
It wouldn't last much longer, he could tell that much.
He smiled to himself though as he allowed the flames to cover him, to try and give him more energy, but he knew that it was about to end. That these flames would cause something else to happen inside of him soon.
He'd let it.
He was tired.
He was done.
His body was breaking.
His mind was tearing.
His soul was shattering.
He had done enough and now he was going to allow those flames surrounding him to consume him and control him.
He was done being in charge.
"Not yet. You aren't done yet." A voice echoed next to him, forcing him to look at the figure that had appeared with him.
They were both surrounded by a rainbow of colors, the majority of them being orange and purple. "What do you want?" He questioned as he stared at the old man, taking in the view of the cane and ugly shirt with palm trees on it. "I know you." He said a moment later.
"That's right. I'm grandpa, remember?" The old man said.
"Grandpa?" He questioned as he took in the information before tilting his head, digging into his burning mind to find the information of this man. "You…came to see…me and mama…with papa." He said as that memory appeared.
"That's right Tsuna. I came to see you when you were little." Grandpa said happily as he approached him and moved a hand to his head. "I did something foolish then and I'm here to fix that mistake." He admitted with a sigh and a sad chuckle. "Will you allow me to fix it?" He questioned as he raised his cane, lit with bright orange flames, towards his forehead.
He stared for a long moment before he smiled at the old man and leaned forward. "If you think you can fix it…then I won't stop you." He said as he closed his eyes and waited.
The old man smiled as well before settling his cane onto his forehead and then grandpa allowed his flames to surge forward and into the boy.
That was when pain wracked through his body as those flames concentrated into an area in his mind and his chest. "STOP!" He screamed as he tried to move away but his body refused to do so. "STOP IT! IT HURTS!" The flames the old man was pouring into him was hitting a spot in his mind and his soul, causing him to burn greatly. It hurt a lot and he wanted it to stop. "MAKE IT ALL STOP!" The burning got worse.
Grandpa grit his teeth and ignored the screams as he used his powers to hit that sealed area within the child. He had to save the child and his flames. He had to before it was too late. "Just a bit more." He muttered as he poured more into the child, allowing his flames to slither into the cracks that the Dying Will Bullet had created.
From there he blasted all of his flames into the cracks and sent them shattering apart.
"IT HURTS!" He screamed as that burning spot in him blasted apart.
Everything burned and he could feel it as something tried to move back together, but it wouldn't, it was fighting against it.
He was being burnt alive inside.
VC
Xanxus scowled as flames erupted from the brat, blasting the old man away from him and burning the Varia Leader. "It seems the trash had more in him than we thought."
"Ninth!" Iemitsu shouted as he caught he old man, cane falling to the ground as he lost control. "Are you alright?" He questioned as he helped the man stand up.
"I'm fine. But what about Tsunayoshi?" Timoteo questioned as he looked at the flames that were raging out of control. "I can't believe so much was sealed away.
"Get out."
Timoteo and Iemitsu looked surprised as they looked at Harry, who was standing in front of the doors to Xanxus's chambers. "What? Why?" Iemitsu questioned as he turned back to look at his son.
"Because you'll be in the way." He stated as he walked forward towards his boss and Tsuna, his flames flaring. "I'll help out from here. So get out." He growled as he glared at the two over his shoulder, eyes glowing with power.
Iemitsu was about to yell but was stopped when the Ninth grabbed his shoulder and shook his head. "No, we'll leave. Make sure to save him."
"I don't need trash to tell me that." Harry growled as he turned back and climbed into bed with the two skies.
Iemitsu was dragged out of the room by the Ninth and out of the building before he could say another word.
VC
He was burning. There was too much! It was destroying him!
"Trash, concentrate." Another voice, but this one was rough and commanding. It was a voice that told him not to screw around and to get the job done.
"Your flames are trying to repair themselves, but if you can't control them enough to do so, then you aren't going to heal correctly and into the right element. You need to concentrate." That voice was light and airy, but firm. It was a voice that someone wasn't supposed to be disobeyed but was kinder than the first. "We'll guide you, so follow us and copy our own flames."
He wanted to cry as the pain increased and the feeling of being pulled apart furthered. He wasn't sure he'd be able to do as the voices told him to do, there was too much pain for him to concentrate. "It hurts too much! I can't!" He exclaimed as he hugged himself, trying to keep his body from falling apart.
"Follow us Trash. If you don't, you will be torn apart."
"Come on, you can do it Tsuna. Trust us."
He grimaced in pain but then he turned to the hands held out to him. One was covered in scars and was huge while the other was small with slim fingers. "You can…help stop…this pain?" He questioned.
"We can." The light and airy voice again. "Just let us help you."
He looked at the hands for long moments before reaching out and taking a hand in each of his own. "Please, help me. Show me how to make the pain stop."
"Alright Trash, then do as we do." He looked up at the tall and masculine guy in front of him. He was nude like he was and his spiky black hair was framed by colorful feathers. Crimson eyes glared down at him but were framed by scars all over his body. He reached towards the flames and forced them around his hands before absorbing them into his body.
"Yes, follow us." Nude seemed to be a running theme here, but he didn't really care. Instead this man was on the small side with short wild black hair and glowing emerald eyes. He just held his hand out towards the flames and allowed them to travel up his arms and his legs before entering his body.
He nodded his head in understanding and allowed the two to pull him into a burning inferno, guiding him through it step by step, showing him how to reach out towards his flames and bring them to him and control them.
"Pull on the flames Tsuna. Just reach out and grab them and then pull them towards you." Emerald eyes said calmly as showed how to grab the flames.
He released the two from his hold and instead reached out towards the flames tentatively. "Like this?" He questioned as he carefully grabbed hold of the flames and began to pull.
He gasped in horror as the flames revolted against him and instead burnt his hands and fought him desperately. As if they were afraid of something.
"Trash, you have to command them! Make them yours and make them bend to your will!" He didn't like that idea. The harsh man was basically telling him to take the freedom of these skies away and forcing them away.
It was obvious that these flames were used to being caged but had tasted freedom. He didn't want to take that freedom again. But he needed to stop them from rampaging, he knew, even if he didn't know how.
"Be calm Xanxus. These aren't your flames, he'll have to find a way to control them himself." Emerald stated with a wave of his finger. "Be patient. Now Tsuna, concentrate, find out what your flames want and then follow the flow of them. So try again, grab them and allow them to show you what they want."
He gulped and nodded his head in understanding. He reached out towards the flames again but then retracted his hands, holding the burnt hands to his chest. "I'm scared." He whispered as he trembled. "They hurt, I don't want to hurt."
"Suck it up you pussy. It's either do it or fall apart."
"He's saying it in a mean way but he's right. You need to do this and you can do it. Don't worry."
He looked down at his burnt hands, red and swelling from the heat he had suffered from. "I can…do this?" He questioned as he looked towards the smaller of the two males for reassurance.
The man nodded his head with a smile and waved a hand towards the flames. "Go ahead, try again."
He gulped but nodded his head. He reached out towards the flames again and instead of panicking when they fought against him, he allowed himself to follow them to where they wanted him to go.
It burned for what felt like forever but it eventually calmed to a warmth as the flames calmed. "Where do you want me to go?" He questioned as he followed the flames further into their center, where they wanted him.
Soon enough he was surrounded by flames on all sides and he could sense their intent and their wish.
He smiled as the flames told him what they wanted. "I see." He said as he reached out and swirled the flames around him and allowed them to seep into his body. "I can do that." He agreed happily as little by little, they all disappeared into his body, thrumming contently inside of him.
"I can be the ever and all accepting Sky."
VC
"Seems he was able to get them under control then." Harry said as he looked down at the little sky with a small smile. "He's really sweaty though and his hands are burnt. Seems he didn't escape without some damage."
"Che, the trash also seems to have more Cloud in his Flames than the normal equal amounts." Xanxus threw in as well.
"That's normal, I think, for what he's been through." The wolf reached out and ran a hand through the Decimo's hair. "He just about lost his entire core. So of course his flames are a little out of whack. He'll return to normal after some time." With that said Harry walked over to his boss's closets. "Until then he'll sleep. Could be a while until he wakes up!" He called out.
"Che, so I have to stay in here and continue to saturate this place with my flames, don't I?"
"That's right!" Harry said as he reappeared wearing a green button up shirt that fell down to mid-thigh and covered his hands. "We'll help him out. You can help bring his Sky flames to the forefront, I'll just be here for support for when he wakes up."
"Trash, what are you doing with that shirt?" Xanxus watched with narrowed eyes as Harry pulled his jacket off of Tsuna and then proceeded to put the red button up onto the teenager. "I'll be burning that shirt later."
"Oh hush." Harry said as he finished buttoning up the shirt and then pushed Tsuna up against Xanxus again, making sure the Brunette was comfortably positioned before laying down next to him. He wrapped his arms around Tsuna's waist after pulling a sheet over their bodies. "Go get undressed and join us again. It'll take a while to bring him back to consciousness anyways so we should just get comfortable."
Xanxus glowered at the teenager in his bed and his partner that had spooned behind the teen. "Don't get too comfortable with the brat! After he's healed, he's out." He stated firmly as he climbed out long enough to strip down to his boxers and climb back in.
Harry looked at his boss with shuttered eyes. "No he's not." He stated coldly as he gripped onto Tsuna tightly, holding him close to his body. "He's my pup." He growled out, flames flaring as his hair began to grow and his canines lengthened.
Xanxus's eyebrow twitched at the information before he growled out, pulling the two closer to his own body, making sure he wasn't going to crush the mini boss trash. "Whatever." He growled out before leaning back into his pillows and throwing his hands behind his head, getting comfortable. "Let the others know that they can release that stupid barrier. As can the other trash. I'm going to forcibly shut down the connection between them and us."
Harry grinned as he snuggled his nose into Tsuna's hair, taking in the scent of his newly adopted pup, his form returning to normal. "On it boss." With that he closed his eyes and soon his body glowed purple before releasing and returning to his normal color.
Xanxus looked down at the two from the corner of his eye before closing them again. He'd never admit the faint blush on his face and no one was there to witness them either.
The room then flared with wrath flames, saturating everything with the tainted and powerful sky flames.
VC
"Do you think they were able to help him?" Yamamoto questioned as all of the younger guardians gathered into the dining room, all chowing down on food as if they hadn't eaten in weeks. They all felt weak, tired, and achy all over.
"I think so." Chrome stated as she sipped at some soup that had been pushed at her by Mukuro. "I don't sense any more turmoil from the Boss."
"Kufufuf, I agree. The Vongola Decimo is resting peacefully at the moment. Though we have been cut off from everything but his mind, and even then we can only touch upon it to get a sense of whether he is in pain or not." The Second Mist stated as he bit into a chicken leg, pulling a salad and clam chowder to him.
"Damn it all!" Gokudera yelled as he chowed down on spaghetti and chicken parmesan. "We were draining so much from him and we never noticed! Now I feel so weak and hungry that I'm not sure if I'd be able to protect the Tenth at all!"
"Then it's a good thing that you aren't in charge of that task." Reborn stated as he appeared into the dining room with Colonello and Fon right behind him. "Though we've never really experienced the difference of having Sky Flames at our disposal to no access to them in years, we're still stronger than normal Flames users."
"He's right, Kora!" Colonello stated as he smirked at all of the teens. "You bunch are only teenagers! Weak and susceptible to the drain due to lack of experience."
"We are well experienced with working around limited flames due to our once Arcobaleno status." Fon stated as he picked up a handful of grapes.
"If that's so, then why is Skull here eating too!?" Gokudera shouted as he pointed at said Cloud Guardian.
"Haha, now that I look, Hibari isn't here like the rest of us." Yamamoto pointed out as well. "Neither is Senpai."
"Skull is always hungry and will eat free food whenever offered." Mammon said as she appeared out of nowhere behind Skull, who had only stopped long enough to nod his head in agreement.
"Hibari is patrolling the perimeter while Ryohei is down in Lussuria's gym working out." Reborn stated with a shrug.
"Those two have more Flames at their disposal than they know what to do with." Fon chuckled as he turned and left the room. "I'm going to join Kyoya and patrol for a bit." With that he disappeared.
"I'll go and take a higher vantage point." Colonello stated with a smirk as he hefted his gun higher onto his shoulder. "See you punks later, Kora!"
Reborn sighed before shaking his head in annoyance before looking at all the suffering Guardians in front of him. "Rest and conserve your strength." He stated as he turned away from them. "I'll be patrolling the inside of the Mansion, so stay out of my way." He sent a glare at the group, causing all of them to freeze and feel a chill run down their spines. With that the hitman disappeared down the hall to go and begin his patrol.
"Ten bucks says he's going to go and check on Tsuna." Skull muttered out as he began to dig into the food again.
"I'm not a sucker so I won't take that bet." Mammon stated as she picked up several strawberries before popping one into her mouth. "That'll be the first place he goes and then he'll patrol the entire area around Tsuna. He's just that way."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Skull grunted out with his mouth full. "I'll see what I can do to beef up the Varia's rides here. I'm sure some of them, if not all of them, are in need of a tune up. It'll be free of charge just because you're part of the Varia Mammon." Skull stated next as he finished off an entire thing of ribs and then chugged down three large glasses of beer.
"I appreciate the Gesture." Mammon stated. "I'll show you where we keep all the vehicles."
"Thanks." Skull stated as he stood up and followed the Mist user out of the dining hall without a backwards glance to his fellow younger guardians.
"I feel like we're just in the way." Chrome said softly as she hugged her trident close to her.
"Yeah, well, we are." Gokudera spat out as he leaned back in his chair, glaring at all the food on the table in front of him. "We're inexperienced and lack the control we need to not be affected by the cut off of our Sky."
The room was silent for long moments before Mukuro stood up. "I am not affected by that cut off, but Chrome is, so I've been supplying her with Flames until she's reconnected with Tsunayoshi." He glared at Gokudera, daring him to call him weak.
"Che, that's making you weaker than normal idiot." Gokudera stated with a scowl. "If she would only accept the organs from that perverted doctor, then she wouldn't have to rely on you during this time and we'd have another strong Guardian on duty when needed."
Chrome bowed her head in shame as she knew that to be true. Mukuro though growled and prepared to attack the Storm for daring to say such a thing to his dear Nagi. Gokudera was ready to receive and give back all that he had right back at the Mist User.
"Wait a moment now you guys." Yamamoto said as he stood up, holding his hands out to either guardian in a gesture to stop and wait. "None of us are in any condition to fight and Gokudera, that's not fair what you said about Chrome. She's gotten stronger in the last few years that she hasn't needed to rely on Mukuro at all in battles." He stated with a frown. "So she needs a little help now, but so do most of us because we're weaker at this time."
The Storm growled at the Rain but backed down, knowing that what the other said to be true. "Whatever. I'm going to go and take a nap." He said as he turned and left the room.
"Come Chrome, you must rest. We'll go and find a room for ourselves as well." Mukuro decided and led the other Mist towards the door.
Chrome stopped though long enough to look up and smile at the Rain. "Thank you." She said with a bow.
Yamamoto smiled back with a wave of his hand. "No problem, after all, all I've said is true. You have gotten stronger and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." He stated seriously.
Chrome nodded her head with determination. "I won't." With that she disappeared with Mukuro out into the hall.
Yamamoto sighed as he slumped down into his seat before looking at his left where Lambo lay sleeping in his chair. "If only I could sleep like that." He said before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It was warm.
That was the first thing that he could tell as he came back to the living plain.
On both sides of him was a warmth, keeping the cold away, and it was so comfortable that he couldn't help but snuggle further into the warmth in front of him. "So…warm…" He whispered as he tightened his hold on what must've been a heated pillow. Though it was unusually firm and the texture of it was pitted in places, as if there were long gouges in it.
"Trash…Don't get so familiar." A voice growled above his head. His pillow moved suddenly and then disappeared entirely. "Get up, you've been asleep for five days now. I don't have that sort of time to waste like you do you lazy piece of trash."
"Shut up Xanxus." The warmth behind him mumbled and he felt something nuzzle against his neck. "I'm trying to sleep here."
"Get up Trash, we have things to do."
"No, I'm not ready yet."
"I don't care, get up!"
"No."
"TRASH! DON'T PUSH ME!"
"I SAID NO SO SHUT THE HELL UP!"
He blinked as the warmth behind him disappeared but strangely he wasn't cold. He was still warm and he enjoyed the feeling. He blinked his eyes several times as he turned to stare at the place where the voices were now yelling at each other. He sat up and rubbed at his eyes as he looked at the two people fighting.
He felt like he recognized them both, but he wasn't sure how he knew them.
The taller of the two was tanned and had scars all over his body, wearing nothing but boxers, feathers framed his head and mixed into spiky black hair. Crimson eyes glowed with anger and his hands were on fire.
The shorter of them was wearing a green button up shirt that reach down to his thighs and he was constantly pushing the sleeves back up to keep his hands uncovered. His emerald eyes glowed in anger as his own fists glowed with purple flames. He watched in fascination as his hair began to grow and fangs began to appear in his mouth.
"Wha…" He got out as he stared at the two strange people in front of him. "What are you?" He questioned with a tilted head, mind trying to figure out what was going on and how come he was lying in this bed with those two fighting in front of him.
The smaller of the two blinked in surprise as he turned towards him. "Hey, are you okay Tsuna?" He questioned as his eyes latched onto the small frame in the bed.
He looked in confusion and a frown formed on his lips. "I…" He stopped as his eyes latched onto the larger figure, really taking him in this time. "Xan…" He got out as he remembered pain, fighting, yelling.
Guns in his face.
"NO!" He shouted as he fumbled his way out of bed, tripping on the sheets as he forced himself to move. He hit the ground hard and gasped as his body rattled from the impact. HE saw the bigger of the two move towards him and that caused a flash of terror to spike through him. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" He screamed in terror as he remembered the pain in his body from multiple hits. The blood that slid down his face and back and chest as he took on attacks that tore him apart again and again and again. He needed to get out!
"Tsuna!?" The smaller of the two shouted and moved towards him while the bigger one stayed where he was with raised brows and smirk on his face. "What's wrong?"
"I SAID GET AWAY FROM ME!" He felt something burst out of himself and flared across the floor. He heard the gasps and curses but he ignored it as he forced himself to his feet and took off to the nearest door and forcing it open.
"Tsuna?" A voice questioned to his right just as he got out into an extravagant hallway. He turned towards the voice and stared at the tall man with the fedora and ridiculous sideburns. "What's wrong?" He questioned as he walked forward, walking straight towards him.
He blinked as he took in the suit and the sleek look he sported. He knew this man somehow, he knew he did. That's about the time that a familiar green lizard appeared on the man's fedora brim. "Leon." He said as he looked at the lizard before staring at the man for a long moment. "Reborn?" He asked.
The man…Reborn nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah Dame-Tsuna, it's me. What's wrong with you?" He questioned as he stopped several feet from the teen.
Tsuna opened his mouth to say something but stopped when a roar came from the room. "TRASH! I'LL DRESTROY YOU!" Xanxus screamed as he came running out of his room, flames consuming his fists.
Tsuna moved before any thought could enter his mind, slamming himself into Reborn's chest and clinging onto the other male tightly, face hidden in the Hitman's chest. "DON'T LET HIM HURT ME AGAIN!" He screamed at his tutor, trying to bury himself further into Reborn.
"Xanxus, calm down!" Harry said as he appeared in the hall with the others, staring at Tsuna and Reborn in confusion. "Tsuna, do you know where you are?" He questioned as he stared at the teen.
Tsuna shook his head at the question, heart and head pounding in rhythm. He just wanted to go home to Mama and Papa where he'd be safe. Reborn would protect them after all, he always protected Tsuna when it counted. "What's wrong with the trash?"
"I don't know." Harry said as he sighed before walking forward.
"Stay the hell away from us." Reborn growled as all his instincts as a guardian flared up. A gun appeared in his hand and his flames flared around him and Tsuna, stopping the advance of the Varia member.
"Calm down you idiot." Harry grumbled out as he walked straight through the flames to stand directly in front of the Hitman. "I need to see what's wrong with him so that we can help him."
Reborn glowered at the Cloud for long moments before taking a deep breath and calming his flames. "Fine. Tsuna, he's not going to hurt you." He ruffled the brunet's hair, never taking his eyes off of Harry. "I won't let him."
Tsuna gulped as his fists tightened on Reborn before slowly, carefully, turning around to face the raven haired Cloud. Trepidation written all over his face while his hands moved to grab a hold of Reborn's arms, bringing them so that they were crossed over his chest while he pushed his body straight in Reborn's own.
Harry met the little brunette's eyes with a smile on his face. "Don't worry little Pup, I'm here to help you." He said as he reached out, pausing to look up at Reborn for permission. He gripped that chin softly as soon as Reborn nodded with a warning in his eyes. "I'm going to see what's going on in your head and then we'll see what we can do for you." He explained calmly, keeping a firm grip on that chin as the little pup tried to struggle from him.
"What…how are…are you going to…to do that?" Tsuna stuttered in fear as his eyes refused to move away from those emeralds no matter how he struggled.
Harry only smiled warmly before he spoke one word. "Legilimens."
