Memory 025: In the Night, I Don't See
'usAGi…UsAgI…'
Tsuna felt like he was sinking. Slowly and slowly, sinking deeper and deeper to the bottom. He kept hearing a voice, it felt close, but far away at the same time.
'uSAGi…COme…WiTH…me…'
Feeling sluggish, Tsuna had no idea what was going on. He felt like he was slowly falling under water, all the sounds muffled, before it got to reach his ears. He wanted to answer and say something to the mysterious voice, but it was impossible, he couldn't speak, he couldn't see, he couldn't move…
'SoON…yOu…aRe…MiNE…'
.
.
.
Waking up from the sound of his alarm clock, Tsuna groaned. 'What a strange dream', he thought to himself. The alarm clock was booming into his ears.
He yawned and looked over to the place where Reborn should've been sleeping, but the said infant has not come back after the little incident yesterday.
/ He remembered coming inside his home yesterday, still angry at Hibari for cheating on him while he was in the future. He felt dark with jealousy and anger that he stormed into his room, slamming his door shut.
It was quite unusual for the brunet to feel this much anger.
The teen then saw his bed filled with clothes. Not his clothes, but girl clothes.
Tsuna screamed out loud, suddenly shocked, wondering if he entered another room, but except for those clothes on top of his bed, everything else looked normal.
'Wh-what…why are there girl clothes in my room…did my future self…no...' Tsuna thought and sighed. Honestly he felt so confused.
While still having mixed feelings of anger, sadness, confusion, and jealousy, his mom had called him down for dinner. Tsuna thought to himself to talk to Reborn after to get an explanation. The infant had promised Tsuna for an explanation, but no, the infant never came home, even for dinner.
Nana was worried about Reborn, who was gone, but Tsuna knew Reborn was probably avoiding him. But to the brunet, the sound of Reborn avoiding, just didn't seem right. The infant would probably never avoid anyone; he would probably ignore them instead. Yes, that sounded more correct.
Then he remembered that yesterday he felt really tired and had a fuzzy memory of taking a shower and brushing his teeth before going to bed. /
Coming back to his senses to the loud ringing of his alarm, Tsuna lazily looked over at his alarm clock and shut it off. He still had an hour before school starts and he knew why he set the alarm that early.
He was supposed to give Hibari his breakfast bento.
Still, the pouting teen was not going to do it anymore. How dare he cheat on him! He set his alarm clock again to wake up later, and went under his covers to fall asleep again, puffing in anger.
When it was time to go to school, he rushed out of the house, and reached the school on time, sighing in relief when he saw Hibari wasn't among the prefects who were checking the students while they were coming into school.
Finally coming into the classroom, Tsuna saw Gokudera and Yamamoto.
"Yo Tsuna!" Yamamoto greeted, smiling happily. "You finally came back from the 'field trip' huh?"
"Tenth! Good morning! You should've told me you were back Tenth! I would've come and picked you up from your house!" Gokudera said while bowing respectfully. Tsuna sweat dropped.
"G-good morning Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto. That's right about that field tri-" Tsuna began to ask but was interrupted by Yamamoto.
"Ah! You didn't use our first names! I thought we were on first name bases now?" Yamamoto laughed.
Blushing a bit, and feeling a bit embarrassed, Tsuna answered, "Ah, s-sorry…T-Takeshi…"
Yamamoto just laughed, "Ha, ha, if Hayato calls me by my given name too, it would be perfect!" He announced, looking over at the said bomber in hope.
Gokudera started to blush and looked away, almost too quickly. "You baseball idiot(1)! I won't call you by your first name, like I said thousands of times! And stop calling me by my first name!"
Tsuna looked at his friends and laughed a little, feeling a little jealous of their relationship. He knew Gokudera loved Yamamoto more then he let on. "Th-that's right..um…H-Hayato. About the field trip thing. What's that about? I heard it from kaa-san yesterday and…I'm confused."
Gokudera, ignoring the baseball idiot, looked over at his Tenth. "That was an excuse to explain to other people while you were in the future Tenth!" Gokudera put his thumbs up and winked. Tsuna sweat dropped again that morning.
"Ah, that's right Tsuna!" Yamamoto said, "You're future self was so pretty! He was such a good guy!" Yamamoto grinned.
Tsuna tilted his head. 'Pretty'…but…he was a male…so he didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or not. The brunet just nodded, not sure how to answer that.
"Th-then…do you guys know w-who…-T-Tsunako is?" Tsuna asked, stuttering a bit. If he remembered right, his mom said Tsunako was Hibari-san's so called girlfriend. The teen was going to the bottom of this, and find this Tsunako girl.
"Eh? Tsunako? That's your future self's nick name! It's another thing the kid made up." Yamamoto smiled. Tsuna became silent.
Then the brunet pointed at himself. "Me?"
Yamamoto nodded and pointed at Tsuna. "You."
"Tsunako?" Tsuna kept pointing at himself and looked over at Gokudera in confusion.
Gokudera nodded, but he didn't dare to point at his boss, and said, "Tenth."
The caramel eyes widened in shock. "Ehhhhh!" He shouted. 'Oh my gosh…I got jealous over myself? Th-then…Hibari-san…' Tsuna face palmed over his stupidity. He couldn't believe he got angry at his lover for such…such a misunderstanding.
It was all that stupid Reborn's fault. Tsuna sighed sadly and slumped onto his desk.
"Tenth I'm so sorry! Did I say anything wrong?" The self-proclaimed right man started to kneel in front of Tsuna, ready to bow himself no matter what the cost.
Tsuna just sighed, and waved his hand. "That's not it Hayato…" Tsuna felt more and more stupid. "I just said something unnecessary to Hibari-san yesterday, and I'm not sure what to do." He confessed.
Yamamoto brought his arm over Tsuna's shoulder and laughed happily. "Maa, maa Tsuna. Hibari will probably understand. After all you were lovey dovey all over each other yesterday. Well, the future you, that is."
"You baseball idiot! They were NOT lovey dovey! And get off the Tenth!" Gokudera grabbed Yamamoto's shirt glaring at him. Gokudera then looked over at Tsuna with a smile. "Don't worry Tenth, even if that bastar…err that is umm stupid…man…breaks up with you, you still have me Tenth!"
Tsuna looked over at Gokudera, who was still screaming at Yamamoto, and put his head on his desk again. He didn't know what felt worse, being a stupid lover and accusing his lover for stupid things, or being jealous of yourself…your future self that is.
TSUNDERETSUNDERETSUNDERE
Hibari Kyoya felt very annoyed. He was sort of expecting his young lover to come in the morning as usual to give him breakfast, but as he already guessed, the brunet didn't.
The prefect let out a sigh and leaned back into his chair. 'It's not a surprise considering how angry he was yesterday…it's all that infant's fault…' Hibari slowly closed his eyes, beginning to remember what happened yesterday.
Flashback Start
"He [future Tsuna] said something about a curse, right?" Reborn continued. "I have a good reason why I left you to alone for the date this afternoon. So tell me…what happened…"
Hibari looked at the infant with a raised brow. Then his eyes grew dark. "You know about it then…the curse?" He questioned.
Reborn smirked. "I asked you first Hibari."
The raven haired teen sighed with irritation. He should've known Rebon was up to something when he entrusted Tsunayoshi's education to him while the infant supposedly said he was going back to Italy. And when the infant did come back, Tsunayoshi was sent to the future and was replaced by his future self. Even after then, the infant went to Italy again.
Hibari glared at Reborn. He wasn't in the mood to talk things over with the infant. He. Wanted. Answers. Now.
He didn't want anybody or anything to hurt Tsunayoshi. Nothing will harm his lover while he was around.
Reborn, of course knowing what Hibari was thinking, just gave a little laugh. "With your strength Hibari, I don't think you're strong enough to beat it."
Gritting his teeth, Hibari hissed a little at Reborn. "What're you trying to say infant?"
Tsking, Reborn waved his finger in front of Hibari, as if he was saying 'not-so-fast~'.
"Uh-uh-uh. You have to tell me what you know first Hibari. It's a basic logic of trading information. You have some that I want, and I have some that you want." Reborn smirked under his fedora.
Irritated and itching for a fight, Hibari had to hold himself back. For Tsunayoshi, he had to, is what he tried to use to convince himself. "Alright I'll tell you infant. But you better keep your end of the deal." Hibari finally said, still suspicious of the infant.
Looking innocent, Reborn said, "Now, have I ever lied to you?" Hibari didn't answer. He didn't need to. Reborn was just playing with him right now.
Sighing Hibari began to mention what the future Tsunayoshi said to him. The part with how he should be careful with Tsunayoshi and that he shouldn't separate from him. After the future Tsuna looked a bit empty like a doll and looked like he could've flown away. Then the future Tsuna began to talk about how he can't explain much and he couldn't interfere with the curse. And later, the future Tsunayoshi confessed that the curse still remains inside him, but it was weak. (2)
Reborn sighed once Hibari finished explaining. He had feared for the worse, and this could be the worse. If what Hibari said is all true then…
"Infant, it's time for you to keep your end of the deal." Hibari said. Reborn looked at the said teen.
"Hibari, have you and Tsuna ever visited the Namimori Shrine together when you were young?" Reborn said, his voice grew serious than the tone he was using before.
Hibari frowned. The Shrine? He never visited the…oh. There was time when he once visited the shrine with 'Usagi' when he was 'Kuro-chan'. But for some reason, he couldn't remember it. As usual, the memories he spent with Usagi were vague.
For some reason, even though the memories of being 'Kuro-chan' were dear and precious to him, the memories of it were not as clear as some of his other memories when he was young.
That was one of the reason why it took a while to realise 'Usagi' was Tsuna. Even though they were so alike, it took Hibari some time.
"Have you?" Reborn questioned again, making Hibari come back to reality.
Quietly, Hibari said, "I think so. Though, I don't remember anything we did at the shrine…I'm not sure why we went there in the first place."
The said teen looked a bit pale, more than usual, and looked as if he was in pain. Hibari held his head with his hand. His brain felt like it was on fire, just trying to remember what happened.
It was recently, after all, that he began to remember more and more about 'Usagi'. He was wondering if his memories of that time were coming back. But that wasn't humanly possible as memories, with time, should be becoming unclear not clear.
Hibari didn't want to act weak in front of the infant, so he excused himself, and asked the infant to tell him later.
Reborn who looked at Hibari with his onyx eyes, didn't say anything but nodded. He was sure now; the curse within Tsuna was connected with Hibari. It seemed his investigation wasn't for nothing after all.
Flashback End
Hibari's head started to hurt again. He got out some pain killers from his cabinet and took it. It was rare for the Hibari Kyoya to take such medicine, but the headaches just wouldn't go away. He felt so sleepy, even though the medicine shouldn't have hit yet.
"Usagi…" Hibari murmured half asleep before he closed his eyes again, falling asleep on his chair.
The door to the reception room slowly opened.
.
.
.
"Let's go Kuro-chan! Let's go!" Usagi pulled the little boy by his hand, telling the raven-haired boy to keep moving.
The young raven-haired boy, also known as Kuro-chan, rolled his eyes. "Going to the shrine won't work you know."
Usagi puffed his cheeks cutely and dropped the other's hand. He putted his hands on his hips as if he was scolding the other boy. "If I keep pulling you like this, my mittens are going to come off." He re-adjusted his mittens and scarf. And as Usagi was going to step another feet forward, he tripped and fell into the snow. "Wah!"
"Usagi…it's useless, going to the shrine is a waste of time." Kuro-chan murmured again while helping Usagi back up. He patted some snow off Usagi's hair.
Smiling a bit childishly, Usagi hugged Kuro-chan. "All I want for Kuro-chan is for his wish to come true."
Kuro-chan blushed a bit at those said words and slightly nodded. "Well…if you really want to…then I guess I'll go with you. Since I think it's too dangerous by yourself."
Beaming happily, Usagi held hands again with Kuro-chan, the actual hands didn't touch since the mittens got in the way.
"It'll be great if your wish comes true after, huh?" Usagi began to hum happily a while they were walking to the closet shrine there was. Namimori Shrine.
Kuro-chan, although a bit reluctant, nodded a bit. It would be great if his wish did come true. After all praying a bit wouldn't hurt. But he didn't know how things would turn out then.
USAGIUSAGIUSAGIUSAGI
(1) If you guys noticed, probably didn't, Gokudera used to call Yamamoto "baseball freak" in my previous chapters, I'm letting Gokudera use "baseball idiot" now. I donno, using the word 'freak' doesn't seem right to me anymore LOL FYI, Gokudera uses "Yajuu Baka" in Japanese, I just use "baseball idiot" as translation.
(2) Future Tsunayoshi says all this in chapter 23.
Me: So you're probably wondering now about the curse, well too bad, you got to wait!
Tsuna: EHHH...!
Me: *ignores* So this is the end of this chapter! Actually I think this chapter is longer than my usual chapters.
Tsuna: That's a good thing!
Me: LOL I guess haha, anyways this omake is a continuation of what happened to TYL!Hibari and TYL!Tsuna after Chapter 22. More materials for you guys since you readers are the best!
Hibari: …
TYLTYLTYLTYLTYLTYL
Omake: TYL!Hibari x TYL!Tsunayoshi – After-
"Kyaa! You lecher!" Tsuna shouted at Hibari when Hibari came into the bathroom as he was changing.
Hibari sighed. "Honestly Tsunayoshi? I have seen you naked a lot of times bef-" But before he could finish that sentence, Tsuna cut him off.
"Stop being so embarrassing! Can't I have a time on my own, in my own bathroom?" The Vongola Decimo complained as he put on his shirt.
"Actually Tsunayoshi, it's our bathroom." Hibari sighed.
"But it's mine, because I own this place. I'm like, the boss, remember?" Tsuna stated the obvious and was pouting like a kid.
Hibari smirked. "What's yours is mine." He whispered in Tsuna's ear, which made the other's ear go red.
"T-that makes no sense Kyoya…Mou." Tsuna sighed and hugged his Cloud Guardian while giggling. "Then what's my responsibility is yours too, right?"
Hibari raised an eyebrow, wondering where this was going.
"Ok! Off to Reborn we go!" Tsuna suddenly exclaimed and locked his arms around Hibari's then went out of the room.
The Cloud Guardian realising Tsuna's intention too late, could only sigh. Oh the things his lover makes him do.
