Hi everybody, this is chapter 13 of this story. I hope you like this chapter.
"I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between."
Sylvia Plath (The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath)
Previous Chapter. Orange Eyes.
Although, the secret lab had been moved yesterday. The girl stood there to find a clue to find out the new location for the secret lab. So far, she found nothing useful.
2 people approached the girl, but she ignored them.
"Miss Suzanne, Byakuran-sama is looking for you." One of them said.
The other one was only paying attention to a doll in his/her arms.
She tilted her head toward them. "What is Signore Gesso want with me?"
"You have to come with us to find out?"
"What if I don't want to?" She questioned.
The spokesperson gave her a look. "You don't have a choice."
Suzanne looked at them thoughtfully. "Fine, I will go with you."
They looked relieved at that.
Chapter 13. Tsuna's Choice.
Present.
It had been a week since Suiren woke up. Whether it was a coincidence or not, but Suzuran's condition also getting better that he did not sleep most of the time anymore. Though, that might also be because Suzuran wanted to spend time with Suiren.
Tsuna did not spend most of his time in the infirmary anymore. He could see that his Guardians were glad of that fact, and the rest of the Vongola members could breath easier because the tension had lessened.
At the moment, Tsuna was in a sitting room. Unlike the rest of the rooms in Vongola Headquarters, this room was not prepared to be used for him or his Guardians.
This was one of the few rooms that were prepared for the previous Generation of Vongola Head and Guardians. In other words, this room belongs to Vongola Nono and his Guardians.
Ever since Tsuna came back to Italy. He had been focused on Suiren and Suzuran's condition and neglected the rest of the Vongola. Now that their condition was getting better, he could be focused on the rest of the Vongola. One of them was the previous Head of Vongola. After all, he had promised answers to Nono.
Tsuna was sitting in one of love seat prepared in the room, while Nono sat across from him. Some maids had left some kind of fancy drink that he could not remember the name. The two of them were alone. He was surprised that Nono's Guardians did not join them. But, if they did, then his Guardians would have wanted to join too.
Nono must have known that this conversation was better with just the two of them.
Honestly, Tsuna did not want to have this conversation. After all, he had not come to term with what happened either.
Tsuna did not know what happened in the future. But, he knows himself well enough and coupled with his intuition, that his guess would not be that far off.
He did not touch the drink that he pretty sure was something alcoholic. Nono sat calmly across from him while sipping his glass of drink. He knows that Nono was waiting for him to gather his thought.
"What do you know so far?" Tsuna decided to ask first.
Nono smiled at him and that smile told him that Nono caught his reluctant to have this conversation.
Tsuna looked down at his hands and waited for Nono response.
Nono sighed. "You seem to overestimate me, Tsunayoshi-kun. I honestly don't know more than the fact that you seem to have taken two children under your wings."
Tsuna knows that Nono was telling the truth because his intuition did not reach. Although, he could not help but feel sceptical. But, he did not show it and continued looking at his hands.
"I don't know if their presence here is accidental or not." Tsuna said.
Nono raised his eyebrows in question.
"They are not from this time." Tsuna answered his unasked question.
Nono looked surprised. "I see. Do you know when they came from?"
"No." Tsuna said shortly. Because that was the truth and he did not want to elaborate and gave Nono more clues.
"I see." Nono said thoughtfully.
"What do you plan to do with them?" Nono asked curiously.
Tsuna finally decided to look up at Nono.
"I am going to send them home." He told Nono firmly. Since it was obvious.
"And, for the meantime?" Nono raised his eyebrows in question.
Tsuna debated pretending ignorance. Though he caught the meaning of the question.
He already admitted ignorance for the children's origin, and that was the truth. He would need to know before he could return them home. Therefore, Nono was asking what was he plan for them while he was still looking for their origin.
"I don't know yet." He decided to answer honestly.
Nono looked at him thoughtfully. "You are going to shelter them here." He stated with certainty.
Tsuna stayed quiet because Nono was right.
Nono only hummed distractedly. Tsuna looked at their glasses and noticed Nono glass was empty.
Tsuna offered his untouched drink because he knows that he was not going to drink any of it. Nono accepted it gratefully.
"I trust that you will inform me of your plan, will you not, Tsunayoshi-kun." Nono smiled at him.
Tsuna saw Nono emptying his glass and smiled. "I will take my leave, Nono. Enjoy the rest of your time."
Tsuna stood up and nodded at Nono respectfully. Then, he walked to the door. He opened it and turned around to bow at Nono and left the room.
Nono looked wary at him.
And Nono had a good reason for it.
Because Tsuna is hiding something.
And Nono knows that.
After all, Tsuna suspected that his future self was being destructive, whether on purpose or not. But, he was sure that Vongola will get caught up on it. And the children were the instruments for that
For the children's safety, Tsuna did not plan to have that thought to leave his mouth.
{K~H~R}
When Tsuna left Nono's sitting room, he did not exactly plan where to go next. But, he knows where his legs will take him. So, he was not surprised when he reached his bedroom. Without thinking about it, he went to his private office.
He stood in the doorway of his private office and looked above his shelf. He knows what he will find there, a box that purposely put in a place that will be difficult to reach.
He knows what was inside the box, at least he used to know.
He knows that inside the box he would find a braid of hair and a letter. But, he could not remember what the hair looked like, what was the colour or how long was it?
Also, he knows that Reborn read that letter in front of all his friends. But, he could not remember what was the content. And, he knows that his friends were also forgetting.
Though, whether or not they realized what they were forgetting was another question.
Tsuna knows that he only needed to open that box to remember. But, he did not want to know. His intuition warned him that he would not like the answer. And, that was why he denied himself the answer.
Tsuna let out a heavy sigh. He turned back to look at his bedroom. And he found Kanna-san sitting on a chair.
She asked him to hide her from the children ever since Suiren woke up. So, he took her to his bedroom.
He noticed that she felt nostalgic inside his room. He could not help but thought that she also shared this room with her husband.
But right now, Kanna-san was looking at him thoughtfully.
Tsuna had thought a lot about the future since they met. After all, it was not something that he could avoid thinking about. Not with the presence of Suiren and Suzuran.
So, Tsuna could not help but think about it, especially about his future self. He had tried to decipher the motive of his future self. He could not know for sure, but he was sure of one possible motivation.
Tsuna knows that he did not want to be a Mafia Boss. He was sure his future self felt the same. But after years of it, he could have grown to hate the position.
One possible solution was to destroy Vongola. It was not a lie to say even Tsuna himself thought about it. After all, he also said that to the previous Heads of Vongola during his inheritance test.
So, it was not surprising if his future self thought about it. But…
Tsuna looked at Kanna-san steady gaze.
Kanna-san… No… The future Lady Vongola was in love with the future Vongola Decimo… No… That not exactly right. She was in love with the future Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Tsuna was certain of that. He could see that in her eyes. And he pretty sure that his future self felt the same.
But, more importantly, his future self hated the fact that their marriage was tied to his hated position. And, Sawada Tsunayoshi was someone that prone to deniability in response to something he disliked.
Therefore, that was the root of the problem.
So, Tsuna could guess what happened in the future. He knows that it will likely become his future if he continued being in denial.
Tsuna turned back to his private office and looked above his shelf.
The first thing he needed to do to stop being in denial was to open that box.
