To run.
To move swiftly on foot so that both feet leave the ground during each stride.
To extend, stretch, or reach in a certain direction or to a particular point.
To tend or incline.
To mark or trace on a surface.
To run.
A single word with so many different meanings.
A single action that could speak of so many feelings .
Just a simple short word, yet a very mysterious and unique one at that able to attract the attention of great poets and thinkers.
To some it can mean freedom, while to others it can symbolize a new start or even a new hope.
Yet to Tsunayoshi Sawada , none of this ever mattered . Since to him it could only have one single meaning.
Fear and pain.
How many times did he already run in order to escape from some upper classmates who wanted to play with him? Eyes wide from fear and horror, tears running down his red flushed cheeks.
Yet still he would always be found and cornered in the end.
How many times did he run away from class? Away from the mocking of teachers and his so called classmates. Away from everything that hurt him.
True, things may have changed for him since Reborn appeared .since he got friends. Since he became strong .he didn't really feel the need to run since a long time, and even if he wanted to the sun arcobaleno won't allow him .and with his childish squeaky voice he would say:
"a mafia boss doesn't run away from his responsibilities !"
But right now, right here, he's running again not really caring about his direction .and this time it's different from the usual. He's not running out of fear or pain, but out of denial. And he knows it's useless. that it's all real and he can't escape . yet he doesn't stop till he trips on thin air and collapses hopelessly on the ground, eyes slightly watering.
.
He just wanted to go back home already.
.
Time passed and the brunette was still lying unmoving on the floor . Perhaps it been 15 minutes already? Or perhaps more, but tsuna could care less .
'crash'
'Swing'
'CRASH!'
'SWING!'
"UGH!"
But on the other hand he was interested in the strange noises that seem to get nearer with every passing minute. and he felt the strong need to run away from whatever is cosing it .
So he got up and made his way to the opposite direction from the noise. Only to see a bleu blur pass by him and hit the wall will force.
"ASARI-SAN!"
Sprinting to the rain flame user's direction, Tsuna quickly inspected him .luckily enought the rain guardian was just unconsciouse . injured severly but not dead .
feeling a sudden chill on his skin,the brunette looked behind him alarmed .
"HOW PATHETIC! ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO REALLY BE THE INFAMOUS VONGOLA RAIN GUARDIAN? SUCH A JOKE!"
and his eyes tippled in size. He recognised the man before him to be knuckles and Talbot's …..test subject,a red storm flame covering his entire body.
"d-dying will …flame…"whispered the young brunette which was clearly a mistake .
"OH~~! WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? A YONG VONGOLA HITMAN IN TRAINING? SHALL I TEST YOUR SKILLS LITTLE BOY?"
Exclaimed the man smirking widely, before attacking the brunette.
