Chapter 14

"Speak"

"Thought"

Saturday at 2 pm in front of the bakery of the 3rd street:

Tsuna waited patiently well-dressed in front of the bakery which passer-by couldn't stop to look at her without blushing. Two students try to take her somewhere else by complimenting her, but she refused and pushed them away. Not accepting to be rejected, they would threaten to hit her if she did not follow them. Tsuna refused again not sparring a single eye at them, one of the students got angry and tried to hit her.

Tsuna, patient, not liking their behaviour would make them understand to not threaten a woman but a saviour comes to help them from her punishment... well kinda.

"To try to hit someone in Namimori, I cuff you to death!" Say a cold voice, the students seeing who had said that were fleeing cowardly. Tsuna thanked him and bowed in gratitude knowing well who this person was since she was the one who invited him who is none other than Hibari Alaude.

He growls and looked straight into her eyes, Tsuna understanding the message asked him what he wants pointing the bakery he grumbles again. She chuckles at his stubbornness. Alaude looks at her coldly, not liking the way she chuckled, then watches her go into the bakery and come out with a strawberry cake, a cheesecake (he doesn't know it) and tea in the bag. Tsuna seeing Alaude impatient so she offers to go to land in a place little frequented, arrived Alaude is surprised that is a small park where there is no one wondering if he knows his city well.

After sitting down and of course of having taken the strawberry cake, Alaude begins to speak.

"So why do you want to see me?" With a threatening tone.

Tsuna did not flinch and continued to eat a piece of cake, then look him in the eyes and simply say.

"To talk about three things: you, Giotto and the future, our future." In a serious tone. Alaude looks at her with wide-eyes then frowns.

"Explain," he asks now interesting. Tsuna smiled warmly at him.

"We're going to talk about love problems first," she said teasingly, Alaude growl blushing slightly.

"First of all I have no feelings for Giotto-san or rather Ieyasu-san so stop disfiguring me as if I were your greatest enemy. You know that we are related (I mean distant cousin even if we, us, readers and author know the truth) even if some people seem to have forgotten and want to put us in couple and, no, I know he's love with me." Say Tsuna, watching Alaude go by to be relieved to annoy.

"So you have the free rein to do anything but it is surprising that you have done nothing during the two years that you are friends." She said, scrutinizing Alaude who seems to be nervous and tense. After a few seconds, Tsuna sighed understanding the reason.

"Fear of being rejected because being the same sex huh.." She begins. Suddenly she gets closer to Alaude's face nose to nose.

"Alaude love is war, if you do not try anything, nothing will happen. Someone in the future could steal him from you. Love is not a sin even between boys or girls. That's why we're going to make an attack plan so that at first you manage to capture Giotto-san's heart and then confess, the road will be hard but I know you can do it!" She says with a determined and amused look.

Alaude seemed stunned and then asked her the question that remains stuck in his throat "Why? Why do you want to help me? "Intrigued glaring at the weak but strong girl in front of him.

Tsuna looks at him with a small smile and closes her eyes.

"Is there always a reason to help someone? For me it's because I want it, it's my choice. I have two older brothers we are not bound by the bond of blood, but it remains my big brothers, they are together, in love and happy. And the barrier that separates you from Giotto is tiny compared to these two people I know." She says, watching a couple of birds dance in the air.

Alaude noted the sadness in the mention of the 'two people', he did not ask who are these people then noticed that he was in front of a 'mystery' of a person from another world. Tsuna turned to him smirking.

"We should start our plan now. I'm pretty sure many people saw us together, they will think we have a date and it will spread around the school and so Giotto-san." She explained, to this perspective Alaude growl dissatisfied.

She chuckled thinking it that was almost cute, she finished her cakes (completely) then continued.

"Daijobu we will create an alibi, and then in the future, you will have plenty of opportunities to flirt with Giotto but first becomes less anti-social especially with him." She scolded with a small frown like a mother who gently scolds her child, Alaude could not refrain but compare her to a mother at the moment. Alaude listens to her without listening too much the various hunting tips he could use.

It annoyed him, but he thought back to the mention of Giotto and Future, which she had just said earlier. "Omnivore what about Giotto? And the Future? "He asked frowning a millimetre, Tsuna pouts because she was stopped then sigh.

"In your opinion even with his Hyper Intuition why Giotto-san did not notice that you were in love with him?" and on a lot of things, she thought.

Alaude realizes something that seems to displease him, Tsuna nodded to affirm his assumption.

"Daijobu he does not really have a problem but Giotto-san just restrains himself unconsciously. He does not use his abilities to his full capacity. His HI is restricted by the lack of self-confidence. You all knew him like that so you did not notice but I, who just met him I can feel it, and then I too have the HI." Tsuna started, Alaude frowns and then makes a gesture of frustration and ask her why.

Tsuna takes a good breathes and sip her tea. "Feelings can be chains that can restrain us, it's the case of Giotto-san. But is not the only thing that restrains him, did you know that there was a 5th member among the Sawada? His name was Sawada Tsunayoshi. It seems that he died in a mysterious accident more than 9 years ago now, at that time Giotto-san was in Italy and it seems he loved his little brother more than anything. "

The skylark thinks about this information and will let his subordinates do more research on this Tsunayoshi, but he understands her point.

"Regret," he said simply, she nodded in reply.

"Regret, a feeling of affliction one of the greatest chain that humans can have with love and hatred. In the environment where he lives, where the lie is omnipresent and the fact of overwhelming himself with the death of his younger brother does not help. If you ask me the question for 'the environment' then it is none other than his 'family', indeed you should already know the behaviour of his little brother don't you? Someone who wants the attention of all, a megalomaniac, loves to hurt people but it's not as if his parents do something or were not like that too. Giotto is the light and his 'family' is the darkness, they try to suppress the light, him or rather to manipulate him for a purpose or hide a truth like this famous accident 9 years ago."

Alaude wide-eyes and Tsuna rises. "Keep this for yourself if you reveal that now the little confidence he has gained it will fly like dust in the wind. Reborn and I will not win this confidence because it's not our role but it's up to you to do it. You and the rest of his Elements." She says, turning her back to Alaude.

He raised a brow confusedly.

"Yes you and the others, me and Reborn we are only guides but you, G, Asari, Lampo and Knuckle and the future Guardian Mist. When you'll all reunited you can make him more confident, stronger because you will grow at the expense of each other and then... Sky can't do anything without his Elements as the Element is lost without their Sky... You seem lost, leave that aside, and think about it another time, ok?" She asked, taking the cheesecake.

Alaude confused looking away.

"Where are you going?" He asks perplexedly, Tsuna looks amused.

"Must create an alibi for the next days no?" Says Tsuna smiling at the skylark who look dumbfound. When Alaude thinks of an alibi he would never think of being a henchman to carry bags shopping even less in a mall. But could not refuse even if he wanted because Tsuna could be very persuasive.

But at the height of his exasperation he seems to enjoy this day and the presence of Tsuna, he followed her in various shops such as a toy store, a bookstore, a grocery store, a jewellery store but he thought she would rather go to clothing stores he regretted it quickly enough. Indeed, the last boutiques were clothes shops and she stayed there for several hours and came out with several bags.

In the end, they settled down for a drink, Alaude wondered why bought toys, books, jewellery and clothes that are mostly for children and babies? Seeing the inquisitive air of Alaude, looking at the bags, she told him the reason.

"It's for the family. For children of the orphanage and the other family members for Christmas, you can say that I am far-sighted." She said cheerfully, he nodded understanding what she meant. In the end, they talked about the school or rather festival to which Tsuna was very interested (Alaude swear he saw stars in her eyes) she asked him if they do not do something like a competition or a concert.

He says no because he was too annoying and there crowding herbivores, Tsuna pout hearing this murmuring 'killer joy'. Then she began to sing Colors of Hasley, Alaude noticed that she sang very well.

When a car came to pick her up Alaude would have hoped for Curly I mean Vlad but was Isabella coming out and helped put the supplies in the car, Tsuna handed her the bag with the cheesecake in thanks for the day spent together and to exploit him a little today. Alaude looked at the car with a small smile on his lip and left to patrol his city.
