Chapter 10
Tiit! Tiit! Tiit!
Tsuna sighs as he looks at the thermometer in his hand, before giving off a light cough. "38 degrees…" he mutters, before setting it down to his desk as he continued preparing for school 'Oh well… I still need to go to school to help for the preparations of the festival…' He thought as he tries to ignore the headache that kept coming while tying his necktie. He then wondered what got him to get sick like this. Probably the stress that he's been through lately… see how much it can affect one's health?
"Tsu-kun!" her mother suddenly yells from downstairs "Breakfast is ready!"
"I'm coming!" Tsuna yells back before coughing.
He grabs his bag as he went downstairs to the dining room.
"Good morning…" Tsuna mutters as he enters the dining room while scratching his head.
There was a chorus of good morning directed back at him as the dining room was full of people again.
"Arra? Tsun-kun, are you ok? You look kinda' pale…" as expected of Nana to know when her son is not feeling well.
"Hm? Oh… I'm fine…" and as expected of future Tsuna to pretend he's ok.
But even though he said this, Nana immediately rushes towards her son as he lightly touches his forehead then the sides of his face "Oh no… you're sick!"
"No really I'm fine… it's just a light fever…" Tsuna lied. Actually, he felt really awful, thanks to the fights he had been in lately, some parts of his bodies were aching, his headache was making him feel nauseous and he felt really exhausted and dizzy.
Nana however, ignores what he said and continues "Maybe you shouldn't go to school today…"
"It's alright…" Tsuna said firmly "Doing nothing all day is kinda bad for one's health…" 'Besides… if I don't go to school today, assassins might attack some students, and I can't let that happen.'
"That goes the same on trying to force yourself to do a lot of stuff when you're not even feeling well… Baka-Tsuna…" this time it was Reborn who spoke
Tsuna turns to the arcobaleno before giving him an assuring smile "I promise I'll be ok…"
Nana gave the brunet another worried glimpse before sighing "I guess it can't be helped… since Tsu-kun wants to go to school so badly."
Tsuna grins at this "Thanks mom."
"Now eat your breakfast before you get late." Nana said as she hurries back to the kitchen to get Tsuna's breakfast.
Tsuna sat on the dining table before covering his mouth to cough a bit.
"Tsuna-nii, are you sure you're ok?" Fuuta looks at the brunet worriedly
"Tsuna-san looks pale…" I-pin exclaims
Tsuna nodded with a smile "Don't worry about it."
"Dame-Tsuna, since when were you so enthusiastic on going to school?" Reborn looks at the young boss suspiciously
"Since the world began…" Tsuna jokingly said before dodging a bullet Reborn had shot him "I'm just kidding!" Tsuna said with a sweat drop
"I'm in no mood for your lame jokes…" Reborn said giving him a dead serious look "You're health isn't a joking matter after all…"
Tsuna looks at Reborn in a bit of shock 'Since when did he care for my health?'
"After all, if you die, who would help lead the Vongola in the near future?" Reborn bluntly said
'Ugh… I knew it…'
Tsuna was reading his script while walking towards school. He wipes the sweat that was trickling down his face before shutting the script with a cough. The brunet suddenly spots Yamamoto walking ahead of him. He was about to call him… but stopped as he remembered what happened yesterday. He shook his head as he continued "Ya-Yamamoto!" he calls out before coughing lightly.
The swordsman turns to the person who called him and saw Tsuna. His eyes widen for a moment as he slowly frowns Tsuna noticed this and was taken back.
"Good… Good morning…" Tsuna lightly said as he went near Yamamoto
"Uh… Yeah, mornin' Tsuna…" Yamamoto fakes a smile while avoiding eye contact
There was an uncomfortable silence as Tsuna looks up at Yamamoto, a bit hurt. He looks down as he clutches the script in his hands "So… uhm… did you memorize… you're script?"
"Yeah… kinda'…"came Yamamoto's unusually small reply. Usually the baseball star would talk and talk to make everything comfortable, but here he was right now… making things awkward "Uhm… Hey Tsuna… I have baseball practice to attend to… so I have to go…"
Tsuna immediately looks up at this. He watches the baseball star about to turn away, and he immediately grabs the other's arm "Wait Yamamoto… I-" Tsuna stops as his eyes met with Yamamoto's amber ones. 'Yamamoto… I…' Tsuna looks down before slowly letting go '…I just can't tell you the true reason on why I did that…' "N-never mind…" Tsuna mutters before making a small cough.
"You…ok?" Yamamoto asks as he coughs again
"I'm fine…" Tsuna replies before clearing his throat "You should probably get going or you'll be late for your practice…"
"A-ah…" Yamamoto watches as the brunet walk off with a small frown and a sigh.
"Oi, Sawada…" Tsuna looks up as Hannah approaches him "Take this documents to the teacher's lounge…" She then gave him a huge stack of papers. Tsuna stumbles a bit at this. He tries to hold back a groan, for he felt really weak and tired, and making him carry a huge stack almost made him collapse "O-ok…"
Hana was able to notice this as she raises an eyebrow "You don't look so good… maybe I'll ask someone else."
"N-no! It's ok…" Tsuna immediately said as he noticed her about to call Gokudera
"Hm? Why not? I think Gokudera wouldn't mind bringing those documents for you." Hana said
"Uh… no… I-I don't want to disturb him…" Tsuna said looking at Gokudera who was being measured by some girls for his costume. Of course, the girls were made sure that they weren't crazy fangirls… for… you know the reason "I'll get going now." Tsuna said leaving the room, unknown to him, Gokudera was watching him with a frown.
As Tsuna walk through the hallways, he couldn't help but think about his two best friends. Usually, when he would be assigned by this kind of task, Yamamoto and Gokudera would suddenly come out of nowhere and divide the stack for them to carry, Gokudera would usually ask all the papers, but Tsuna would immediately disagree.
Yap, he remembered that memory in one of his middle school days. Tsuna could only chuckle a bit as he remembers Gokudera always arguing at Yamamoto for the baseball star had more papers than him and he wanted to carry more than the other, for he wanted to prove himself as a capable right hand man to his beloved Juudaime.
All of a sudden, an image of him (his future self) lying on his bed while looking at a window in a daze, with a lonely look pasted on his face flashes in his mind.
Tsuna turns his head to the side to cough, and before he knew it the world suddenly spun making him stagger and almost fall, but fortunately he was caught by a certain senior before he could land on the ground. The young boss immediately stood straight at this as he felt himself get caught.
"I-I'm… I'm so sorry." Tsuna immediately mutters as he tries to shift the weight of the documents in his arms
"You look like you need some EXTREME help there, Sawada!" the young brunet immediately looks up and saw Ryohei "Onii-san!"
The sun guardian grins before grabbing all the documents from Tsuna "This is EXTREME!" Ryohei said carrying one stack on one hand and another stack to his other hand "So, where are we suppose to EXTREMELY take these documents to?"
"Ah, wait a minute onii-san, I appreciate the help… but let me carry them…-" Tsuna was immediately cut off as he started coughing roughly
"Oi, you ok there?" Ryohei looks at Tsuna with a serious expression
Tsuna nodded as he waves a hand telling him not to worry "Anyway… the documents…-"
"No way… after seeing that you are EXTREMELY weak… I cannot EXTREMELY let you carry the documents…" Ryohei said firmly, and before the younger teen could say anything, the boxer then asks "So where are we suppose to bring these?"
As Tsuna saw Ryohei look at him with a determined face, he immediately sighs in defeat before telling him to follow him. The least he could do was accompany the boxer towards the location he had to give the documents at.
Teacher's lounge…
Tsuna bows to the teacher before leaving with Ryohei right behind him. He lets out a cough before speaking "Thanks a lot onii-san… you were an extreme help." He smiles.
"Sure! It was no problem at all Sawada!" Ryohei replies with a grin, but his grin immediately vanishes as the brunet started having a fit of coughs before muttering a small 'sorry'. A hand immediately touches the brunet's forehead with surprising gentleness from the usual hyperactive guardian, the hand immediately left as Ryohei (almost) yelled "You're EXTREMELY burning hot!"
Tsuna also touches his forehead out of reflex, his hand felt clammy and yes, he does feel hot "Oh… uh… don't worry about it… I really don't feel that bad…" he lied.
"What are you talking about Sawada? You need to get to the clinic to the EXTREME!" Ryohei said pulling the brunet's arm towards the direction of the clinic
"Calm down onii-san," Tsuna said pulling his arm off the boxer "I promise I'll go there later… but right now… I'm kinda' busy, and we still have practice for the play… so…"
"Sawada…" Ryohei looks at him seriously
"I'm fine really… thanks for worrying onii-san…" Tsuna said with a grateful smile "Anyway, I have to get going now…" he starts walking off
"Then promise to EXTREMELY call me if you need something!" Ryohei said looking as the other walk away, who had said 'ok!' before coughing again. Ryohei clenches his fists 'Sawada… you're not alone…' he was silent for a moment, when all of a sudden he screams out "I FEEL EXTREMELY WORRIED!"
Hibari was currently on his desk in the disciplinary office, staring at a certain Hibird cell phone chain dangling on his own mobile phone. Apparently, it was the herbivore who gave it to him. He leans his hand against his head as he remembers when Tsuna gave it to him this early morning…
Flashback…
Hibari, as usual, was by the gate, guarding students who were gonna be late… and bite them to death. The skylark yawns, feeling a bit bored for there were still 30 minutes left before the school bell rings.
He suddenly saw Yamamoto walk in, followed by Gokudera. He raised an eyebrow as he watches them enter without the herbivore with them… which was strange since they never separate no matter what. He then shrugs it off. Well, as long as it doesn't concern him, he couldn't care less.
He then decided to stay at his office for awhile and let Kusakabe handle things, when all of a sudden someone calls him… which was very new.
"Hibari-san!" Hibari turns around. He knew who that voice belonged to "Herbivore…" he mutters as he saw Tsuna walking towards him while waving with a small smile. Hibari felt his eyebrow twitch, how dare he try and act all friendly with him. He was about to threaten him but immediately stopped as he saw the brunet looking paler than how he usually looked.
"Good morning." Tsuna greats him weakly
"Hn." Hibari said about to walk away but was stopped as a clammy hand grabbed his arm. Hibari automatically took out his tonfa and was about to hit the young teen for grabbing him like that, but was again stopped as a cell phone keychain dangles in front of his face "It's for you…" the cloud guardian felt the other's sweaty but soft hands grab his hand before dropping the cell phone chain that had a bird that look a lot like Hibird on it "Hope you like it." Tsuna said with a bright smile before coughing.
Hibari looks down at the brunet as he did this "Herbivore…" Tsuna immediately looks up at him before apologizing "S-sorry, about that, I got something in my throat…"
"Sick herbivores aren't allowed to go to school." Hibari said as he crosses his arms.
Tsuna suddenly grins "Haha… I never knew you cared Hibari-san."
Hibari immediately glares at him, making the brunet wave a hand in front of him "Just kidding… just kidding…" he said with a small chuckle before coughing again "Anyway, I'll be going now… bye."
Hibari watches him walk away "Hmpf… even idiots like you can catch a fever…"
Tsuna suddenly chuckles "I think you mean 'a cold' Hibari-san…" Hibari immediately shot him a glare but the brunet just turns away before saying "…but yeah… you're right…"
…I am an idiot…
The prefect watches Tsuna give him a sideward glance with a small lonely looking smile.
And for some reason, Hibari felt annoyed as he saw this.
Herbivore…
End of Flashback…
Hibari just gripped his phone before shoving it in his pocket, feeling annoyed yet again.
"Finally… you're down…" Kenji said looking down while acting serious.
Tsuna, meanwhile, was on the ground in all fours, panting a bit. The script had said that Kuran was suppose to look exhausted as if he had no more energy left while looking utterly defeated.
Though, it really wasn't acting.
'Oh gosh I feel sick…' Tsuna thought as he tightly shut his eyes.
"And now… I'll defeat you!" Kenji exclaims in a lame heroic tone.
"Cut!" Hana suddenly said, making the two look up.
"Huh? But why? We're getting to the good part." Kenji frowned
"It's because of your lame acting." Hana huffed
"What? What are you talking about?" Kenji approaches the girl
Tsuna was about to stand up, but for some reason his body wasn't listening as it suddenly felt heavy 'Come on stand up!'
"Tsuna-kun… are you ok?" Kyoko had approached the brunet who was still on the floor "Do you need help on getting up? You look like you're having a hard time…" she looks at him worriedly as she crouches
"I-it's fine-!" Tsuna suddenly felt a pair of strong arms help him up as he was held steadily.
Tsuna looks up at the person who helped him and was a bit shock as he saw his one and only Storm Guardian.
"G-Gokudera-kun…" Tsuna murmurs
Gokudera was looking away, with his eyebrows a bit furrowed, making him look slightly unsure, before his forest green eyes landed on Tsuna's brown ones.
"Juudaime… I-" Tsuna felt Gokudera's grip on him tighten a bit
'Is he trying to apologize?' Tsuna frowned at this 'Or is he forcing himself to apologize?' the brunet shut his eyes, trying to hold back how he felt before looking up with a serious look and pushing Gokudera off him, stumbling a bit, but he immediately stood straight "Thanks for helping me up…" he muttered
"Juu-"
"I need to go to the bathroom…" Tsuna immediately said as he walks out the room
"Juudaime wait-!" However the brunet already left and Gokudera could only look down looking frustrated
Kyoko looks at Gokudera then at the direction Tsuna left, feeling confused and worried.
-Rooftop-
Tsuna leans on the cool fence before sighing. 'I guess I should apologize to them instead…' he thought as he looks down the baseball field.
His guardians were still the same as the ones in the future. Whether they were from the past or the future… they'll still feel and think the same. Tsuna chuckled darkly. He was stupid to think that he could just go back to the past and think everything will just be ok and be the same as always! Correction, he was actually stupid to try and wish it. Whatever time period he'll be… nothing will change.
Once he had done such a ruthless act… he can never run away from it for it will always chain him down.
And no one will be there to help him up… He'll always be bounded…
"They won't come… will they?" brown orbs looks out the window as he watches the blue sky, he slowly held out a hand as if reaching something he couldn't reach, his hazy eyes were suddenly filled with tears as he spoke in a heart-breaking tone "I can't reach them anymore…"
"Eh?" Tsuna blinks as a memory suddenly flashes in his mind, but before he could comprehend the sudden scene, the brunet immediately jumps back as the position he was standing on suddenly exploded, he stumbles a bit at the force.
Hopefully, the students weren't able to notice this… at least that's what he thought.
Classroom…
Yamamoto and Gokudera immediately felt the small tremor of the building as well as the other students. All of a sudden, a girl approaches them, she had black eyes and light brown hair that reached her shoulders "A-ano, did you both feel that?"
"Hahaha, yeah kinda'… probably just a small earthquake…" Yamamoto said with a grin while Gokudera just grunted.
"What-what if it was something else?" the girl asks yet again
"What's up with you?" Gokudera glares at the girl "Why are you so cautious over little things?"
She then frowns before looking around "A-arre? Where's Sawada-san?"
"He went to the CR." Yamamoto said frowning for a moment before putting a smile "Why do you ask?"
The brunet sighed before walking out the classroom.
"What's with her?" Gokudera mumbles as he watches her leaving figure
"Oi both of you…"Hana suddenly approaches Gokudera and Yamamoto, the two looks at Hana "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure. What's up?" Yamamoto asks
"Who was that girl? I've never seen her before in here." Hana said glancing at the door
"Huh?" they said in unison.
Tsuna panted as he tries to dodge bullets before kicking another assassin. He felt someone punch him at the stomach making him gasp in pain before giving the other a punch as well for pay back. The young boss grunted as he held his aching stomach. Sweat rolled down his face before dropping on his knees.
Ten men in coats were now lying on the ground, totally beaten up and knocked out. Tsuna started coughing harshly making him cover his mouth. He cursed how his body was so weak and small. Usually, he could take more than this to make him drop on his knees even with a fever.
All of a sudden, three shadows loomed behind him. Tsuna's eyes widen and before he could even turn around, he was immediately grabbed by the shoulder before being pushed down to the ground roughly 'I shouldn't have let my guard down!' He felt something cool press against his head before hearing a 'click'.
"Game's over, Vongola Decimo…" brown orbs looks at the man pointing the gun at him then at the two other guys behind him. He needed to come up with a plan fast! He was about to give the man a kick but his legs were firmly held down on the ground as well as his arms, thanks to the other two guys 'Darn it!'
"Time to die…" Tsuna watches with wide eyes as the finger slips in the trigger…
No he can't die yet! He just can't leave things like this!
Tsuna shut his eyes tightly, he wanted to say help… but no one will come.
No one…
"W-wait! Hey guys wait!" he held out a hand out a hand trying to reach his guardians and family
"Wait-!" His body was suddenly wrapped in chains and before he knew it he was in a web like chains… and in the web were dead bodies of the people he killed. His eyes widen at this and try to struggle from the chains wrapped around him while screaming out for help… then a hand suddenly grabs his ankle.
He looks down with wide eyes as a bloody corpse gave him a twisted grin
"They'll never come…"
"LET GO OF ME!" Tsuna had manage to get his other hand free as he slapped the gun away from the other's hand, he looks at them furiously while tears streamed down his face.
Tsuna tries to struggle from the others' grips but was immediately held down before receiving a punch on his cheek.
More tears streamed down his face, but not because of the unbearable pain from his cheek but because no one was still coming to help him.
The assassin looks at Tsuna, a bit annoyed that the brunet still kept struggling, he was about to give another punch to the boy, thinking that making him suffer would be more fun than killing him immediately when…
SLAM!
The door of the rooftop suddenly slams open as a flash of black suddenly came to them in full speed and before they knew it they were thrown away by a powerful force.
Now free from his binds, the young boss sits up as he held his now swelling cheek. He slowly looks up at the person standing in front of him, with his back faced, letting a tear stream down his face.
"I'll bite you to death…" Steely dark eyes glared at the assassins
"Hibari...san?"
