Chapter 10: His Lust
Tsunayoshi was perspiring really badly. He was bound on his hands by a set of tough ropes. Basil, that man's son, was watching Tsuna's every movement. They allowed him to go on toilet breaks only when Basil and Iemitsu are accompanying him. It was rather embarrassing having 2 men watch you pee, and more embarrassing when both of them are having him tied up.
It reminds him of the time with Reborn. A shiver ran down his spine. His white t-shirt is already soaked through. The family are having their dinner now, none of them talking. They had the instant noodles Tsuna bought yesterday at the convenience stall. Tsuna had already eaten, so he rejected the offer. The wife and the child wore no expressions on their faces, like robots, they do what they were supposed to do as instructed mechanically. It was like they didn't have a free will of their own.
Tsuna gazed at Basil, who had finished slurping his noodles and was disposing of his other family member's cup noodles at the trash can. Once they were done, they cleaned up the table.
A few moments ago, the brunet was stuck in a life-or-death situation. He managed to get out of that when Iemitsu commanded the rest of them to put their weapons down. That man had tried to cut him down, but that man had found his hands trembling when it the sharp edge of the sword barely reached Tsuna.
The animal was still lying in the corner of the room, fainted due to having hit his head.
Soon it was nightfall; the clouds shielded the moon away from the sight of the humans tonight. No stars were present in the sky today. Tsuna found himself staring at the skies, humming a familiar tune his mother used to sing. Since they kept him locked up at his own room with Basil, both of them had nothing much to do.
Basil continued to observe the boy, without much of a remark. Tsuna could feel fear and hatred, from both him and the other boy beside him, but he chose not to talk to Basil. Indeed, who wouldn't hate the other child from their father's other family?
Tsuna had never considered Iemitsu a father, but he didn't imagine he had the nerve to do this, of all places he could hijack, he chose here. When the brunet was about to hum to the chorus of the song, the other boy snapped.
Fiery aqua blue orbs stared straight into his eyes. Tsunayoshi, who was not intimidated by these acts, continued to hum the song to entertain his mind. Years of bullying allowed him to grow-both in wit and in courage-he know that Basil was infuriated by this song. The very song that brought his mother and father together. Since he couldn't express his anger in a much better way, he chose to do this.
"You know, father-dono was a great man. He used to take me out all the time, he'd talk to me, he'd soothe me, and he'd sing to me. That was until Sawada-dono's mother came back into his life again. She bewitched him all over again…" Basil muttered.
Tsuna, who was squatting at the corner of the room, said nothing. He simply continued to hum the song.
Basil continued to remember the times they had when Nana didn't come back. Nana was Iemitsu's first girlfriend, first love. One that his father was smitten with till the very end, which dragged his father to this current state of despair. Sawada Nana had come to his father's life again when Basil was 6, giving Iemitsu a picture of his other son, Tsunayoshi Sawada.
That was the beginning of all his problems. Nana started demanding from Iemitsu that the other child needs more love, more attention to make up for the lack of a fatherly figure for 6 years. Iemitsu agreed, and went to stay over for a few weeks. As weeks dwelled into months, his mother began to feel paranoid.
Soon it came down to the stage she was diagnosed with depression. Things aren't that good with his father's side either. He had just lost his job because of the constant leave he's been taking. After that, his father had a hard time making meets end; he ended up with an illegal job. Since his other wife had only given little money, his father gambled the money away out of stress. As a result the family was in shambles, and had heaps of debts to be repaid.
Seemingly when Iemitsu wanted to seek refuge at Nana's house, she refused outright, Oregano, who was in a state of depression, injured Nana in the process. Basil knew his mother was pathetic, clinging on to a man who didn't love her the way she did, but she couldn't help it. She, like Nana, was too attached to Iemitsu. Although both women had different ways of loving, they loved Iemitsu a lot.
Basil got out of his thoughts when Tsuna had stopped humming that familiar song. He was asleep, dozing off in the eyes of the enemy. The boy briefly wondered if the brunet trusted him that much.
Reborn, who had his eyes around Tsuna's house had just found out that the house was currently being occupied by Sawada Iemitsu. He could sense Iemitsu's killing intent, but he doubts that man would kill his own kin. Indeed, like what he predicted, he did not, but it was just a matter of time before he might go berserk and do it if he feels like it.
In the world of the mafia, Iemitsu Sawada was being known as the unpredictable one. He sides with whoever he wishes, and sometimes commits atrocious acts such as killing the victim's mother. True, there was no light in the world of the mafia, but he had gone against many rules set by many families.
Reborn drummed his fingers against the wall, trying to figure out a way to get pass Oregano without being noticed. When he figured that there was none, his steel cobalt eyes diverted back to Tsuna, who was bounded by the ropes.
He could feel his skin trickling again, the soft silk-like skin of Tsuna still a clear memory. For a moment he thought his heart raced, but he reasoned that it was because of him being excited for a good fuck. Touching, smelling, marking and thrusting inside of the brunet was an exquisite feeling-one he had with no other.
If there's another thing in the world he could obtain now, he'd choose for the complete dominance over the brunet. He could feel his pants tightening now. Letting out a bitter laugh, he dialled for Alaude. After the call with the short-tempered police officer, he received a call from the ninth.
"Reborn-kun, I have good news for you." The ninth announced. Reborn was sceptical of what his news would be, but listened to it.
"I've found a replacement for you. He will be coming over next month. Rejoice!" The ninth exclaimed.
The hitman hung up after the news. The only reason he's in Namimori right now is because of the position of the principal. Without this, he has no reason to stay in Namimori, which meant, no more seeing Tsuna.
He made a mental note to make Tsuna his before he leaves.
There was no way he will ever give up on the brunet, even if he'd have to threaten him to come with him to Italy or kidnap him. He just wanted to possess the brunet so much, that he'd have lost control if he was an average person. He might already have resorted to raping him. Something in his mind snapped, patience, perhaps.
Gritting his teeth, the hitman got ready his gun, and aimed at Oregano. He wouldn't miss, he was sure of it. Since the brunet was upstairs, he wouldn't see much of the gruesome scene. Reborn didn't want to taint Tsuna's eyes, so he had to finish this up really quick. He was still contemplating whether to kill Basil.
He got ready his trustworthy shotgun, from far range, and shoots. It breaks the glass windows but it was quiet enough not to arouse the brunet. It went straight through her head. Alaude would have to clear it later, since he wasn't in the mood for being patient and doing it the legal way.
Like a lifeless goldfish floating on top of her fish tank, her hopes of being loved by Iemitsu was gone. When a person dies, their dreams fade away-black words being painted white on a blank paper. Nothing was there, not even a trace.
At least, he ended her misery of being in love with such a man. At least she would not have to continue struggling with her emotions. She was released. Oregano died with a smile. Her son despised her, and doesn't need her any longer. It was time to go.
Oregano was dead.
At the sound of the gunshot, the only adult left in the house headed towards that direction, only to find his wife in a puddle of blood. The gunshot on her head was a clean shot. There were no other wounds other than the small amount of blood gashing out of her forehead. She died with a little smile on her face. Iemitsu closed her eyes.
He was more upset than angry. The loss of his wife, he thought back about the things he did for her, their vows at marriage, he had given her nothing at all, whilst she devoted herself to him.
She knew the risks of doing this. He had not only placed his wife in danger, he had also placed his sons in danger. Iemitsu scanned for an enemy nearby, but found none. If the enemy was that formidable, then death would be inevitable.
Before he could do anything else, the door to the house was being kicked open. Alaude stood in front of the corpse and the mess.
He immediately took Iemitsu into custody. Reborn was behind him, tapping Alaude's shoulder. He pointed his gun at Iemitsu.
"Are you the one that shot my wife?"
Reborn gave him a smirk.
"The correct term is; I released her out of her misery." Reborn stated. He wasn't planning to kill Iemitsu in front of the cops. It would land him out as a fugitive or in jail. His record has always been clean, since he hadn't been caught by the cops or been successfully convicted. He was like a shadow at times, moving from place to place without being uncovered. The authorities had no evidence and traces of his crimes or deeds, so they couldn't arrest a supposedly innocent man.
After the man has been handcuffed due to him being too depressed to resist, Basil was also shaken awake, and went to the police station with the authorities. It seemed like everything was happening too fast. Suddenly-Iemitsu being arrested after he seized the control of the house.
Everything was occurring too fast. Tsuna was still asleep like always, curling into the crispy bed sheets. Everything about Iemitsu might be resolved, but not everything with Reborn. Once the police left after much work, the hitman sat by Reborn's bedside, brush off his bangs that covered his face.
"You'll never have to see them again, dame-Tsuna." Reborn whispered, fingers smoothing the tips of his spiky brown locks.
Reborn smiled bitterly. It looked like he has too many bullets to waste tonight.
The next morning, Tsuna awoke with a start; he was changed into his pyjamas, and he wasn't tied up anymore. The family wasn't around, and his heart was suddenly put into peace, but something definitely happened, he was sure of it. The wind blew through his white curtains, and this time he caught a whiff of blood.
It wasn't a strong scent. He hurried down the stairs, almost tumbling down. The animal was conscious now, meowing at the spot. Dark blood stained through the wooden flooring, leaving a black mark on the floor. Tsuna shivered on the spot, squatting, touching the stains.
"W-What happened…?"
The animal jumped into his laps.
"You're awake, dame-Tsuna."
He jolted up from the familiar baritone voice. Why was Reborn in his house, and how did he get into his house in the first place-so many questions, but no answers. Tsuna gave him a slight nod, even though this question required no answer, it was just a statement.
"Would you believe me if I told you nothing happened?" the principal asked, though he knew his answer.
Tsuna shook his head mildly.
"Oregano was killed. That was all you need to know." Reborn uttered, slowly gaining distance to the brunet.
"Who was she killed by…? How could someone be so cruel to kill her, I know she had done…lots of bad things…but we all deserve a lease of life… don't we?"
Reborn was surprised by his statement, but made no comment to that. He had heard of the term, "Opposites attract", but this was hardly the case, Tsuna was so different from him it seemed like nothing could draw Tsuna to even like him.
"Perhaps." Reborn replied.
"Tsuna, what have you been eating these past days?"
Tsuna gave him a weak smile, still recalling the time Reborn had forced the pasta down him through various means. The principal would always read him like an open book, so lying would be futile.
"Instant noodles."
The hitman dragged the boy out of the living room again, ignoring the mess of Oregano. Reborn hadn't planned on telling the brunet, neither does he planned to lie to him. He'd just cover up the truth with more fabrications-that way-he isn't going to seem like he's lying. After all, he couldn't lose the brunet.
The animal on Tsuna's pants growled. He could sense the aura of Reborn. The hitman knew that being with Tsuna is unhealthy for the boy, but he couldn't stop being with him, because like a drug, he needed the brunet. It was just lust, but he'll do anything it takes to keep the brunet.
"That man was arrested."
Tsuna didn't feel guilt; instead, numbness surged over him. He nodded blandly, allowing the festering emotions of not being guilty to devour him. They left the animal at home with some milk.
They proceeded to the nearby eatery.
One thing Reborn noticed about the brunet was that indeed, he had changed, maybe Reborn had broken him. Maybe the society had broken him, maybe he broke himself.
For the better or worse, the brunet had already taken a place in his heart, and he was sure, for a long period of time, this lust wouldn't fade, instead it'd manifest and grow, worming through all of him.
It was time to let go, he had always tell himself that, but he couldn't and now, when the days together are closely drawing to an end, it seemed that almost nothing could tear him apart. He needed more of the boy.
It's wrong, but he does it anyway. He doesn't care.
"You know…Reborn; I think I might overly rely on you if you keep helping me." Tsuna muttered.
They were now on their way to the eatery. Clouds were present in the sky today, but the moon wasn't obstructed. The sky was clear of stars tonight.
"Baka-Tsuna. You belong to me, and no one else. Of course you can rely on me." Reborn whispered; voice low and soft. Tsuna blushed on cue.
He was shocked that he could say something like that, but he felt like being gentle to him tonight.
"Oregano… you killed her…did you?"
Reborn ignored that question. If he was going to ask, he would just have to not answer it. Reborn continued to take big steps towards the café, while Tsuna tailed behind him, trying to catch up. When Reborn suddenly stopped in the middle of the road, Tsuna collided into his arms almost immediately when Reborn turned to face him.
"You're going to be my assistant, aren't you? Hurry up or I'll have you for dinner." Reborn teased. He was trying to distract Tsuna, but it seemed like Tsuna wouldn't back down on the question.
The boy frowned.
"N-No… don't touch me…" He pleaded; hands up in his face in defence.
Reborn immediately pulled of Tsuna's hands from his face. One of his hands cupped Tsuna's cheeks, the other snaking around Tsuna's round butt to support him.
"I can't do that. You are mine; remember that, dame-Tsuna."
Then Reborn pulled in for a kiss. He nibbled on Tsuna's sensitive lower lips. That roused a moan in Tsuna, which he bit back almost immediately. Slowly his kisses trailed down to Tsuna's neck, biting and sucking the skin he once broke into. He bit so hard he broke the vessel. It was one that was permanent; the scar was going to be permanent, at least, marring his white skin with his bites.
Tsuna moaned this time, loud and clear. Luckily for the brunet, the streets were deserted.
Reborn slid one of his hands on Tsuna's back. The other hand on his butt sent a light slap to Tsuna's butt. They fell into an easy embrace. The brunet held his hands around the area Reborn bit and blushed.
"… It's going to leave a scar…"
Reborn smirked.
"Now everyone would know you're mine."
Tsuna gritted his teeth, pushing away Reborn. He didn't want to be like a piece of fragile glass again, so it'd be best if he didn't melt right now, in the middle of the street. He wasn't sure how to enter the café anymore. With his scarf gone (at home), he couldn't be walking around the streets like that.
He spun around, ready to return home when Reborn caught his wrists.
"We're going to the café, dame-Tsuna."
Tsuna shook his head, pointing to his wound. Reborn smirked and dragged him along.
Tsuna was able to accept him more, right now, but all of this were dashed-Reborn has to leave, soon.
