Chapter 9

I'll Get Stronger

"So did it work?" asked Alaude, Giotto and his guardians are in the meeting room discussing Tsuna's trauma. Tsuna was eating regularly, talking to Giotto, however Giotto made Tsuna stay home today. He called his school and discuss what happen, and they understood the situation. They told Giotto that Tsuna can take as much time he needed. Shamal also take some hours from work and see Tsuna.

"Yes. I erased his memories like you ask. And I'm sure you all know that you mustn't talk or discuss about any of this...", Everyone nodded their heads and Shamal continued. "I know you all are busy but please make sure you see how he is doing. Even though the mind forgot about the incident, the body can't." Shamal picked up his bags and shook Giotto's hand. "I shall be leaving but don't hesitate to call me. Then if you shall excuse me." Shamal left with a wave and out the door. Giotto turned to his guardians. He took a brief second to collect his thoughts then open his mouth too say something but was interrupted by Hayato.

"I'll stay with Juudaime. I know you are busy getting ready for Christmas and coming up with some ideas. So I'll stay and keep him company." said Hayato

"Hayato, aren't you suppose to be in school by now?" asked Giotto, Hayato flinched but stood his ground.

"I am but Juudaime's health is more important." Hayato stood their waiting for Giotto's lecture however, Giotto knew that Hayato is smart enough to be in college. Giotto sighed, "I'm counting on you Hayato." Hayato smiled and bowed to Giotto. Then rushed towards Tsuna's room. Giotto chuckled and dismiss his guardians. Giotto then went to his office to finish paperwork so he can visit Tsuna. But when he got there, more work piled up and like Hayato suspected, it was about Christmas and New Years ideas. 'At this rate, I'll won't get to see Tsuna tonight.' thought Giotto. Giotto poured himself some coffee and began to his work.

"Juudaime!" shouted Hayato

Tsuna turned his head and tilted his head in confusion. "Hayato, aren't you suppose to be in school? Today is your first day." Hayato walked over to Tsuna's bed and pulled up a rolling chair. "You are correct but you're health is more important. Besides aren't I suppose to be in college?" Tsuna nodded his head. "You are correct. Thank you Hayato." Hayato smiled and blushed.

"Now, let's talked about Yamamoto. Ha~ya~to!" Hayato faced dropped and spoke in riddles. He stuttered and avoided eye contact with Tsuna. In Tsuna's mind, he couldn't think anything better than this.

"Uni-chan, have you seen Tsuna?" asked Kyoko. It was now lunch break at Namimori Junior High and the gang met up at the roof as usual. Kyoko and Haru got there a little late though. When they got a closer look at Yuni, she didn't have her usual smile. Actually, she didn't have that friendly aura around her either. She was depress and they have a clue why she's like that. Kyoko sat in front of Uni and asked in a soft voice. "What's the matter Uni-chan? Did something happen?" Yuni didn't reply but threw herself on Kyoko and started to cry. Kyoko rubbed her head to calm her down.

"Tsu-chan is..." she sobbed

"Tsuna? What happen to Tsuna?" asked Kyoko

"Tsu-chan was...hic...and didn't...hic...I'm afraid...I'm hic...afraid." sobbed Uni, Kyoko patted her head and she begun to cry. Then Haru. All three girls clasped their hands together and cried. Enma tried to calm them down but he just made things worse.

"Kufufufu, why the tears girls?" asked Mukuro, Mukuro entered with Chrome by his side and Hibari behind them. The girls stop crying for a moment then started to cry again. Enma and Yamamoto got up from the floor and walked over to Mukuro and the others.

"Well Yuni-san was depress then started to cry when Kyoko-san asked about Tsuna." explain Yamamoto, Mukuro, Chrome, and Hibari frowned when he mention Tsuna.

"What happen to Tsuna?" asked Chrome as she stepped closer towards Yamamoto. Yamamoto scratched his head and glanced at Yamamoto. Yamamoto didn't quite no yet, but Enma did.

"Well last night, Tsuna got attack by a stranger who opened up his lost memories of his dead parents and now traumatized by it." Mukuro faced frowned turned into anger, and so did Hibari. They turned to leave but Enma stopped them from going as he blocked the roof entrance.

"Move" command Hibari and Mukuro, Enma flinched but stood his ground. "Shamal is at Tsuna's house erasing his memories right now. He probably is resting right now." explained Enma. Hibari and Mukuro glared at him but calmed down a bit. They both sighed and turned back around to the crying girls or once crying girls; they were now sniffing and wiping their eyes. Enma also walked towards them but was soon stopped by an announcement.

"Will Yuni Milliefiore, Enma Kozart, Yamamoto Takeshi, Mukuro Rokudo, Chrome Rokudo, Kyoya Hibari, Haru Miura, Ryohei Sasagawa and Kyoko Sasagawa come to the infirmary room please." asked the announcer

The gang looked at each but Yuni rushed to the door and bolted out. The rest followed as they also ran to the infirmary. When they got there, Shamal was sitting at his usual desk, waiting for them.

"Is Tsuna alright?" asked Yuni as she entered the room. Shamal smiled and nodded his head. "He's okay. I erased his memories. Even though it was hard."

"Hard?" asked Yuni, as she sat on a stool while the others sat on a bed.

"He wouldn't let me touch him, so I had to restrain him to erase his memories. Afterwards he calmed down and didn't remember anything."

"What do you mean restrain?" asked Mukuro as smiled

Shamal sighed as he closed his eyes remembering the hard work he had to go through. "Well when I was trying to erase his memories, he started to scream and punch me in the face. So I got on top of him while holding both of his hands above him and erasing his memories. But he still struggle to get loose."

Hibari and Mukuro both hit Shamal then left. "Why the hell did you two hit me? And where are you two going?"

"I'm going to see Tsunayoshi/little rabbit!" shouted Hibari and Mukuro as they tried to leave but was stopped by the almighty Reborn.

"You'll see him after school. Now get to class. The school bell rung already." commanded Reborn, Hibari and Mukuro clicked their tongues and went to class. They usually don't listen to others especially when its a command. But they knew couldn't go against Reborn; even if they tried. After a long day of school thinking about Tsuna, the ganged rushed out the school to see Tsuna. Actually Hibari, Mukuro, and surprisingly Yuni, jumped out the window. They were about to rush to his house but saw Dino standing outside.

"You better hurry to the car! Tsuna is waiting for you all!" shouted Dino, and that made everyone run to the limo. When everyone was on, Dino command the driver to rush back home. The driver nodded his head and was off to get to the Sawada's house. As he pulled up to the driveway, the teens rushed out the car before he can even park the car. When they got to Tsuna's room, they bust through the doors and there they saw Tsuna up, talking to Hayato.

"What's the rush?" asked Tsuna, Yuni was the first one to break down and cry as she rush to Tsuna's side. Yuni hugged Tsuna's waist as he rubbed her head. "I'm sorry Uni-chan. I made you worry." Yuni shook her head no in Tsuna's stomach.

"Tsuna, you're...smiling." said Enma as he walked towards Tsuna's bed. Tsuna looked up with a smile on his face. A smile that an angel would have. Innocent, carefree, and don't forget cute.

"Really? I haven't even notice it. Maybe it's because I'm relieved of something. I feel...happy." smiled Tsuna. Yuni glanced up and wiped her tears away. She smacked her face twice and declared, "I like this Tsuna. He's much happier than before."

"Hm. Sorry, Uni but I don't think it'll last long." said Tsuna

"Eh? What do you mean?" Before Tsuna can answer, Dino came in. "Sorry, everyone, but Tsuna has to go to bed." Tsuna pouted and folded his arms. "I don't wanna go to bed."

"Too cute." thought everyone, Dino smiled. "I know but you have to rest." Tsuna nodded his head but still pouted. Everyone (except for Mukuro and Hibari, who was pouting) said goodbye to Tsuna and left. When everyone was gone, Tsuna sighed in relief. He gazed at the window and spoke in a low voice. "I'm sorry everyone. I'm just not strong enough. But I'll get stronger." said Tsuna as he laid down to take his nap.

"Tsu-chan." Giotto shook Tsuna to wake up as it was time to eat. "Tsu-chan." He shook him even harder but failed. Reborn, who came also, stood beside Giotto. He took his lizard Leon turned him to a hammer and slam it against Tsuna's head. Tsuna slowly opened his eyes and sat up. Giotto gape at what woke him up but neverless continued his task. "Tsu-chan, it's time to eat." Tsuna stared at Giotto then slowly nodded his head. Tsuna turned his head and look at Reborn. He lifted his arms and commanded, "Carry me."

Reborn smirked. "Give me one good reason why."

"Because you love me and I'm still tired." explained Tsuna. He wiggled his fingers and Reborn sighed in defeat. He picked up Tsuna in princess style and head down to the dining room. "Wow. Reborn is soft." thought Giotto. Reborn glanced back at Giotto and glared at him. "Forgot he can read minds." As they walked into the dining room, Reborn got stares and glares. Yuni was the one who got up and went to see Tsuna.

"Are you feeling any better now Tsu-chan?" asked Yuni

"I'm fine just sleepy." Yuni sighed and Reborn put him down on the floor. Tsuna begun to walk to his seat when he lose balance and landed in Reborn's arms again. "Forgot how to walk dame-Tsuna."

Tsuna looked up at Reborn. "Tsuna. And I'm just a little wobbly from staying in bed too long..." Tsuna lift his arms again, " Can you...no, carry me to my chair. Please." Reborn sighed and held Tsuna in his arms; he walked to his chair and place him on the chair. Reborn also walked to the other side of the table to sat between Lambo and Colonello. The maids came out of the kitchen and placed spaghetti in front of them with garlic bread and fruit salad; wine for the adults, and soda for the teens, and kids. After the course, they ate Flan for dessert. Then Tsuna and his friends went to chat in his room for a bit before heading to bed. Yamamoto, Ryohei, Kyoko, and Haru went home after the dinner though.

"Tsu-chan it's time for your medicine then bed." announced Giotto as he opened Tsuna's door. Everyone groan but Tsuna got off the floor and walked towards his bed. Tsuna sat on his bed with his mouth wide open. Giotto chuckled and gave Tsuna a spoon full of his medicine. After he was through, he left him.

"Tsu-chan, can I sleep with you?" asked Yuni, Enma was about to get on Tsuna's bed also, but stopped when he felt death aura's behind him.

"Sure. I don't mind." Yuni smiled and crawl to the other side of Tsuna's bed. Hibari and Mukuro pouted and decided to stay in Tsuna's room also. So, they went to go get mattresses and covers to sleep on. They, plus Enma, pulled the mattresses close to Tsuna's bed and fixed up their beds.

"Um, Tsu-nii...?" asked a quiet voice. Fuuta's head peek out of the door and was carrying a pillow that he sleeps with. "Can I sleep with you?" Tsuna sat up to nod his head so Fuuta can see and reach out towards Fuuta. Fuuta smiled and rushed over to Tsuna's bed. Tsuna tucked him in and laid back down. When he was finally comfortable, Yuni grabbed his right hand and Fuuta grabbed his left hand. Tsuna glanced at the both of them and smiled. He closed his eyes and whispered, "I'll get stronger. I promise."
