I somewhat made it on time. It was supposed to take me about two days to finish this. But I was unable to. My mom thought it was a good idea to use my laptop, by force, to watch her Asian drama. Stupid website won't allow the video to work on her phone. Anyways, please enjoy.

Previously on Missing Tsuna:

"Then isn't it best not to get involve right? Even our relationship can be based on a lie too Yamamoto."

"What do you mean?"

Tsuna gulped. He knew what the other him is going to say. His heart is slowly breaking once more at the reminder. He never meant to say all those things. It would have been better if he just told the truth. But he didn't.

"Let's break up…"

Chapter Twelve: Not Everything Goes According To Plan

It's been weeks since Tsuna and his friend began searching for Lambo. Of course, there are no results in the end. However, Reborn seemed to have a lead to something. He just need more time to sort everything out. After that, he and Tsuna can plan out what to do next. The brunet rest on his bed with arms folded behind his head. The house isn't loud and 'lively', as his mother puts it, anymore without the small cow around.

The thought didn't last long when it switch over to a different topic. Yamamoto is acting… different lately after the search party began. He constantly asked questions of all sort. Most of them are related to trusting issues. He's also having a watchful eye on him. It was digging holes on his back during school. It's not hard to miss with that type of feeling.

"Maybe I should just tell him everything. It can't be that bad." He mumbled the last part.

"Are you finally going to listen to what I say Useless Tsuna?" A babyish voice asked.

"Yeah, I guess so." Tsuna said without much thought.

"Good. Now, get up!"

Within a second, the brunet had a mallet an inch too close to his head. He pales with the thought that it could have killed him. He looks up to the owner to see the Spartan tutor smirking. Somehow, he always wondered how he's alive with such a dangerous person living with him every day. Tsuna slowly crawls away from the weapon and stands up from his bed.

"Reborn, you could have killed me…" He mutters with fear.

The baby shrugged his shoulders, "A Mafia's life is constantly in danger Useless Tsuna. Get used to it."

That's not something he wanted to hear from a baby. He drops the thought when Reborn pulls out a piece of paper. From the sight of a familiar flame moving on top of it made it obvious who's the sender is. It's probably something official from the Ninth, his grandfather. From the fact that he's such a nice person to send such a hitman here made him have second thoughts.

"What does it say Reborn?"

"He knows what's going on and is willing to help out. He also said for me not to get involve."

"Wait a minute, you're not helping again?" He shouted.

"Apparently so… It seems like you're on your own. Just like your battle with Mukuro."

The color on his face turned white. And he was relying on Reborn if things turned ugly. Really, he doesn't know if his grandfather is working with him or against him. Tsuna cross his arms, thinking of what to do. Without someone like Reborn helping, the brunet can't say they won't leave without wounds. But he can't say that he and his friends don't have experience when they do. But he's worried.

"Why is it that the Ninth doesn't allow you to help? I mean it would be faster and simpler if you did." Tsuna argued.

"Consider the Ninth's feelings Useless Tsuna. He doesn't want you to rely on me all the time during a crisis." Reborn shot back harshly.

"Apparently this time doesn't make a difference, does it? Also consider that I almost die every time something like this happens!"

"But you're not, are you?"

"No… Not yet… You already know what I'm getting at."

"No I don't. The only thing that I'm getting is a whiny brat of a student."

Tsuna frowns at his tutor. Being called useless is something he's accustomed to. Being called a whiny brat is a different story. He ignores his anger, knowing well enough that it'll get him nowhere. The Spartan tutor note that his student has finally simmered down.

"Now that you cooled down, I wanted to tell you that I found their location."

"Oh, where is it?"

"They're in an abandon warehouse. I didn't expect much from them."

"It feels like it's coming out of a movie…"

Tsuna and Reborn continue on with their conversation. They decided on what he and his friends need to do if war breaks out. The brunet can say he is at ease with Mukuro and Hibari on his side during the battle. It might not take as long if he was lucky. During the conversation, someone was standing behind the door, eavesdropping unintentionally. Yamamoto is not happy with what's going on.

"Why are you saying that, Tsuna? Don't you love me?" The other Yamamoto asked.

"Not everything is what it seems to be."

The real Yamamoto face away from the sight. Last time he remembers was that they were lovers. That's what the brunet apparently told him. He turns to Tsuna, who is still watching with a blank expression. He could see that his dead friend isn't enjoying it either.

"Tsuna, I thought that you and my parallel self were together. What happened?"

"… It's like I said before. I gave up something important for everyone's safety."

"But that's not fair for you! You sacrificed everything… even your happiness." Yamamoto said in disbelief.

"Life is never fair. That's something we need to keep in mind."

Yamamoto couldn't say anything further than that. His voice isn't allowing him to. The brunet's blank face turns to a small frown. The baseball player could see his other embracing the other Tsuna. It looked like he was clinging on him too tightly.

"I don't want to lose you… I love you."

"It's my job to protect my family. I don't want anyone hurt because of this…" The other brunet mumbled.

"It's time to go. I'm sure you'll know this place. Gokudera told you about it before."

The scene faded away to an abandon building. It was more of a warehouse. He could see Tsuna and everyone else smiling as they exit. Yamamoto remembers now. Gokudera told him about their victory. He could see the relief on the brunet's face. Lambo seemed to be having fun on Ryohei's shoulder too. Everything was back to normal. The taller male clenches on his shirt, making his knuckles turn white. Yamamoto knows that it's not over yet.

That instant, the other Tsuna in front of him turned around. Yamamoto braces himself for what is to come. The brunet push his other harshly as the sound of a triggered gun went off. Everything felt like it was slowing down. Time was stopping at that exact moment. The six guardians watch as their boss fall to the hard ground. Everyone was circling him, calling his name over and over again. But Tsuna didn't answer.

The Tenth Vongola Boss is dead…

All the color on Yamamoto's face whitens. His hands were shaking. He just saw his best friend, and supposing lover, die in front of him. He felt as if half of him died with Tsuna.

"… Tsuna!" He shrieked.

Tears formed and poured down the taller male's cheek without a care.

Yeah, I'm done. Sorry if it was short and sad. Well, it was supposed to be since that was the point of this chapter... But I got it updated right? I found out that I'm able to finish two stories in one day like I did before in the past. But, you know, school and my mom are being a pain in the neck. Thanks for reading and see you next time.
