The morning was a blur. School was boring. Ieyasu was a jerk. Gokudera hated him. Definitely not the type of world he was used to.
School was finally done for the day and Tsuna was walking home alone. He hoped Kyoko didn't show up. How could she not see what Ieyasu really was?
"Hey, Tsuna!" Tsuna whipped around to see Yamamoto running up to him. He had avoided the baseball star the whole day, afraid that Yamamoto also thought that Ieyasu had saved him. "I haven't seen you since yesterday. You never gave me a chance to thank you."
At those words, Tsuna'a heart soared. "It was nothing." He said, a ridiculous grin on his face.
"Have you heard what people are saying? They think it was your twin Ieyasu!" Yamamoto gave a laugh and placed his arm around Tsuna in a way Tsuna had begun to miss.
"Yeah, I've heard. Hey, want to come hang out at my house?" Tsuna asked hopefully.
"Sorry, but I've got baseball practice. Maybe tomorrow."
"It's okay. See you tomorrow!" Tsuna tried not to let the disappointment he felt be heard in his voice as the someday rain guardian ran off, leaving the lost sky behind.
Gokudera had acted like a heart broken puppy when Ieyasu had asked (ordered) Gokudera to give him a break from, and he quotes, "breathing down the back of my neck 24/7". What on ungrateful little brat. Gokudera had been secretly overjoyed at the request. He hated the Jyudaime. He hated that everyone seemed oblivious to the kids true nature, even the brats' new girlfriend. Everyone, except the twin, who seemed too weak to fight back against the tormenter.
The only reason he had stuck around was to find out who the man was who saved his life. He wasn't so idiotic to not realize that the man who had saved him had not been part of Jyudaime's plan. But he was smart enough to realize that the man was involved with the mafia and was watching the Decimo. So the right hand man would stick around until he found the man's identity, watching and waiting until that moment.
Tsuna had the dream again. He found himself in the meadow again, but this time he didn't hesitate to go inside the house. the interior was just like his, but empty. There was a smell from the kitchen, and Tsuna found himself inside the kitchen, making what looked like pasta. His other looked up and happily ran over.
"You came again! I was worried you wouldn't come!"
"Just where am I?" asked Tsuna keeping a safe different from the other him. You never know when you might be in a dangerous illusion.
"I-I'm the y-you of this world." It made sense, but did he really used to sutter that much?
"Okay, can I ask you a question then? Where are we?" Before his doppelganger could answer, a column of sky flames appeared. When they receded, there stood Byakuran.
"A-Ah! W-white-haired-san!" The other Tsuna took a step back in surprise.
"Tsu-chan! Other Tsu-chan! How are you two!" Byakuran pulled out a marshmallow bag for each of them. While the parallel Tsuna seemed startled , the other one just opened the bag and started eating.
"Hey Byakuran, could you tell me where I am?" Tsuna asked with a mouth full of puffballs.
"That's easy! You're in your dream world! 3! Your alternate self is here while you control the body. When you sleep, you go here. Try training other Tsuna-chan while you're here to. After all, that's the objective of sending you here." Byakuran gave his signature smile.
"Okaaay, is there anything else you can tell me?" Tsuna had already guessed all of this and wanted some real information.
"Ooooh, looka t the time, Bluebell will kill me if I don't go to sleep soon." Byakuran erupted in another column of flame with Tsuna yelling at him as he left.
"Hey, don't lie! You're already asleep to be here!" Tsuna yelled at the air. He sighed and turned to himself.
"Well, I can't call you Tsuna, so what should I call you?" his other thought for a second before answering.
"H-how about Parareru, since it m-means parallel?"
"How about just Reru." said Tsuna amazed at how weak Reru seemed with his constant stuttering. He must have really annoying back before Reborn trained him. The world began to fade again. "I'll start training tomorrow!"
Tsuna woke up, still wanting questions and now wanting to punch Byakuran for backing out like that.
Tsuna had eaten his breakfast and was walking to school (his brother's screams behind him) when he literally ran into Gokudera.
"Watch where you're going, Dame-Tsuna!"
"Ah, sorry Gokudera-san, I didn't see you there." Tsuna bowed at his storm guardian. He didn't flinch at the glare he shot at him, but smiled at the memory of Gokudera directing that glare to Yamamoto countless times. This seemed to make the Italian angrier.
"What are you smiling at?" Gokudera growled before kicking the Decimo's twin. The kid kept smiling.
"Nothing, just some memories." The grin on Tsuna's face while he walked away could rival Yamamoto's.
When Tsuna arrived home, he was greeted with a very familiar voice.
"Lambo-sama has arrived! Gyahaha, you may all bow down!"
Tsuna had arrived home late today due to some bullies, and in the time he had been gone, Lambo had come. Tsuna figured his first assassin attempt would happen soon.
*CRASH*
Yep, the sound of the window shattering was enough to tell Tsuna that it had happened. Outside his twin's window lay a 5 year old in a cow costume, crying like there was no tomorrow. Tsuna walked over and handed the kid a piece of grape candy he always had in his pocket, just in case. Lambo took the candy with wide eyes, all thoughts of crying forgotten. For another minute, he held the face as he carefully placed the treat in his mouth and tasted it. Confirming it was, indeed, a piece of grape candy, his face lit up and he gave a laugh.
"Gyahaha, you know Lambo's favorite candy, you are worthy of being Lambo-sama's servant!" Tsuna smiled at the weird kid, glad to see his lightning guardian. He picked the cow up and headed for the door.
"You're here to assassinate Reborn, right? I'll bring you to him." Tsuna opened the door to Ieyasu's room, where Reborn and Ieyasu were 'learning math', or, as some people would see it, practicing dodging bullets. "Hey Reborn, is this kid one of your friends?" asked Tsuna, acting as dame as possible.
"No, he's my lesser." Said Reborn, hitting the kid his ten pound Leon hammer. Lambo, obviously, started crying, pulling the ten year bazooka out of his curly hair and firing at himself. When the pink smoke cleared, the fifteen year old Lambo stood there. The look on Ieyasu face was priceless.
"Ah, it seems my younger self has fired the ten year bazooka." said the older version of Lambo. He looked around at the surpised faces around him, his eyes landing on Ieyasu."Ah, so the young tyrant is here to." Was all he said before moving on to the others, his eyes now falling on Tsuna this time.
"Tsuna-nii, you're here too! You were so cute when you were little." Lambo ran over and hugged the brunette.
"Ha, is this part of the mafia game you guys have been playing lately?" asked Tsuna, pulling a Yamamoto. The future Lambo looked around the room, as if only noticing where he was.
"Oh, I see. You don't know about the mafia yet. Oh well, I don't have much longer here." Another few minutes and some pink smoke later, the kid lambo sat there, eating what looked like a grape flavored lollypop.
"Idoit cow, you interrupter my tutoring." Growled Ieyasu and aimed a punch at the kid. He probably was glad his tutoring had been interrupted, but wanted a reason to hurt the annoying cow. Instead of hitting the five year old, though, his fist hit Tsuna's arm, which felt strangly muscular.
"You shouldn't hurt kids." Scolded Tsuna and then left the room with the cow.
