There is light everywhere. He cannot see, but it doesn't bother him. The light feels warm and the place feels like home. He stretches his arms , as if he wants to fly. He hears familiar voices and laughters and the calling of a name - maybe his name - he can't remember.

''Come, fly with us!'' And there is nothing more that he desires to do at the moment.

Unfortunately, the scene changes. Now he has a name that he remembers. But he suffers. There is nothing but water around him. Where is that familiar and warm light? The abyss is pulling him down. He pushes down the water in a desperate attemt to stay on the surface. He cannot move his legs, his eyes are closed and he opens and closes his mouth , trying to regain his breath. There is an agonizing silence around him. He gets weakened and little by little he gives up, letting the water pull him down. The water? No, this is not water. Hands. Hands are reaching and grabbing him. He pushes them , trying to get away from the people that apparently want him dead.

''Leave me alone! Who are you? I do not know you! Please, just let me live.''

''You're lying.'' The people speak. ''You know us. You killed us. Murderer! Murderer! Murderer! ''

Then, the scenery changes again and he is all alone. There is darkness everywhere and he feels cold. He opens his mouth to shout for help, but there is no sound. He lies in a fetal position, giving up at the will to even try to get out of this place. It's futile. Nobody will ever come to help him. There is no hope...''

''Dame-Tsuna!''

''A voice?''

''Dame-Tsuna, wake up!''

''I know this voice.''

He opens his eyes slowly. ''Reborn?''

''Who else, dame-Tsuna? Now, I mean it, wake up. You keep crying and screaming in your sleep. The idiot cow has completely freaked out. Also, your mother and your friends are really worried. This cannot continue. Wake up and tell us what's wrong. And even if you don't want to talk to me , find someone else.'' Reborn says all of this in a very serious tone. He sighs when he finishes. He is not worried, he keeps telling himself, but it's a lie and he knows it.

Tsuna is fully awake now. He notices that it's night outside. ''How long was I asleep?...Wait a minute? What happened to Haru?!''

''You were asleep since yesterday and Haru is alright, thanks to Gokudera.''

''Oh, I see. I am glad that everything's fine.''

''Nothing's fine, dame-Tsuna.''

''But she didn't die!''

''I am not talking about Haru.''

''Oh...''

''I mean it, dame-Tsuna. Find someone to talk. Or you're going to completely lose your sanity.''

Tsuna stares as Reborn leaves the room.

As soon as he leaves, Gokudera and Yamamoto enter the room.

''Juudaime! You're finally awake! How do you feel?'' Gokudera rushes by Tsuna's side, checking on him.

Yamamoto sits at the bed, not looking at Tsuna. He doesn't say anything.

That's weird. Maybe he should try to say something funny, but he can't.

''Hey Tsuna, if you need help, just ask for it.'' He says and he looks at Tsuna's eyes as if he's searching for something.

''Ok Yamamoto, thanks.'' Tsuna says with a blank expression and both Yamamoto and Gokudera realise that he lies and that pains them.

They feel like a failure, not even being able to support their friend.

''Juudaime, this was Reborn's idea, but do you want to go out with us?Just for a walk.''

''Reborn's idea?''

''Yeah, you have an awesome home tutor, Tsuna.''

''You think so, Yamamoto?''

''Yeah!''

''And he really said to go for a walk.''

''Yeah! He even threatened us with a toy gun.''

''This was not a toy!''

''I think that a walk is fine. I am going to take a shower first, if you don't mind.''

''We'll wait for you to get ready Juudaime!''

''Thanks.''


''Hey Tsuna, did you know that we're going to be together in summer class?''

''No, really?''

''I wish I was there too!'' Gokudera says and Tsuna notices that he is disappointed.

''I'm looking forward to it. It will be fun. Maybe we can try doing our homework together too.''

''I'll help you too, Juudaime.''

''Wow, thanks Gokudera!''

''I'm not helping you. I am helping Juudaime.''

Tsuna stared as Gokudera and Yamamoto enter a bickering.

They're both so weird, it makes Tsuna laugh.

The boys stop their quarrel, surprised to see Tsuna laughing.

They look at each other, then starting laughing too.

Even Tsuna is surprised by this-how long has it been since he had a fun time?


''Tsuna looks like an angel when he's laughing.'' Yamamoto mentions, while smiling.

Gokudera stops walking and maybe he's ovethinking it, but the tone that baseball idiot used was suspicious-or so he thought-but he grabs Yamamoto by his sleeve, making the taller boy to turn around and face him.

''What do you see?'' He asks, not bothering to explain, because he knows that Yamamoto understands the question.

He has no idea how they both understand. It's like a secret between them.

A secret they haven't even shared with each other, yet.

''Haha!I knew that I wasn't the only one. I have seen how you're looking at Tsuna's back.''

''And I have noticed how at random times you don't look directly at him.''

''That's because he's too bright! Well, not always but when he is, I cannot look at him, because I fear that I might turn blind.''

''Hmm...I see wings on him and you say that he has a bright light around him.''

''Bright white light!''

''Yeah yeah...This is so strange. Could Juudaime be an UMA?''

''I don't know what you're talking about. But if he has wings then he must be an angel.''

''Angels do not exist!'' Gokudera wants to say, but honestly, he is not so sure anymore.
