Author's Note: I got difficulty to continue this story ever since the house renovation started several days ago. Not only I was unable to use my computer like usual, I also had to sleep at the second kitchen the day my room was done with the ceiling! Then the next few days, all my family and me did was cleaning, cleaning and cleaning! I got very tired, and to add much worst, my skin started to get rashes and itchy, wounded my legs because I scratched them many times.
Yes, I have skin allergy and sinus, which making my skin worst than normal condition. The ceiling's dust is very poison to me, and I also non-stop sneezing because of it! AAACHOO!
Thank you for everyone who is following, favouring, alerting and reviewing this story! I was so happy that after I post the two chapters (due to renovation), the story got so many people to read it, although I actually want people to give me their opinions regarding this story. Thank you very much again!
And finally…PSYCHO-PASS SEASON 2 WILL BE ON AIR ON 9TH OCTOBER! YAAAAAYYYYY~! CAN'T WAIT FOR IT!
Loveydovey17: Oh my, sorry for making you cry. However, thank you for reading my story, I really appreciate it!
Lik3r16: Of course, the others will investigate what exactly happened. From the last chapter, yes, Tsuna will stay at his old home but I'm not making him to have some adventure because of the current situation. Sorry for disappoint you.
Poppyhub: Yeah, thumbs up to Nana! Hey, maybe I can use your idea for Nana punishing her husband!
Love-tsuna: Thank you very much for your review. Don't worry, this chapter and the next few ones will have the story of Tsuna living with his mother.
Mona: Woah there, easy girl easy~! Just read from your reviews I knew that you already pissed of with the Family and others! Calm down my girl, don't be too mad alright.
Yes, I know the way they treated Tsuna (even Hibari. Somehow, I got a feeling that some readers want him to be at his side…) was way too much, and they even abandoned him in the first place. But you have to understand, under shock and stress situation, it was way too hard to be calm and rational, unless you manage to calm yourself first. Remember they also normal human beings, and I don't think by suddenly tortured them would be enough (eh?).
The replacement Guardians? No, I won't do that. Suddenly change the Guardians just because of what had happened won't do any good either. Just leave it to Suzume and Arashi, since she too, don't think it's a good idea either.
Summary: He left. Framed with a crime he never did, he believes nobody would ever forgive and remember him so he left the family. Little did he know that everyone had been tracing his footsteps ever since he was gone...
Destination 4: What he had left behind…
Far below…
We've been starting to collect what you've let go...
-Day three of Tsuna's disappearing-
"From what we had investigated so far, it seems that the security didn't detect any kind of reaction from the trigger, neither on the ground or air."
Iemitsu narrowed his eyes as he listening to the reports by one of his men in his office. 'So he didn't crush the security trigger huh?' He thought.
"Anything else that related to this matter?" He asked as he looked at the people in the office. One man raised his hand, and apparently, he was a member of Gokudera's squad.
The Six Vongola Guardians, Reborn, Basil –the current Advisor of CEDEF, the Varia (surprising, Xanxus was there too), Arashi, Suzume, Dino and Romario, as well as the Simon, Giglio Nero and Gesso Families (Byakuran, yes, he forms his old family again but as Vongola's ally) and Timoteo were sitting in the large meeting room. It was the room that where when emergency happened, everyone; from the Family until their allies and CEDEF will join.
"It seems that Decimo had left the mansion during night, and he was able to avoid the security surveillance cameras that were placed at the walls," Said one member in Gokudera's team, named Alexis.
Iemitsu stayed silent after he heard the reports from his men.
He was not happy with the current founding after all.
"Could it be that he's using an illusion to get away from the mansion?" Said adult Mammon, still clad with her dark cloak.
"That would be impossible," Said Mukuro as he looked at Mammon. "If he used any of the rings with Mist attribute and cast an illusion, both I and Chrome would definitely sense him right away, even within sleep. I believe that you too, Mammon-san, know that a very high skill illusionist could sense it very easily."
"I'm supposed you're right…" Said Mammon after a moment of thought.
"He must know the location of the surveillance cameras placed in this area, and managed to avoid it by using the routes not being detect with the said camera," Said Shoichi as he typed on his small laptop. Spanner and Giannini both sat at his sides, looking at the screen.
"Maybe…" Said Iemitsu when his eyes fell onto Suzume, who sat with scowl face. "How about you, Suzume?"
"…There's something that disturbing me when the illusion matter was brought up."
"About what?"
"The infamous incident last month," Everyone flinched as all of the people in the room realized what she just said. "But I'll discuss this matter later. Anything else?"
"No damage or injuries were found that night. However, we found his fingerprints at the back gate," Explained Alexis. "We believed he left using the said gate."
"No, there's damage," Said Shoichi as he turned his laptop to everyone in the room. "The footage of the cameras suddenly buzzes off one by one."
Everyone looked at the screen when the recorded video that shows the guards and servants were walking along the pathway before suddenly, turned off. It happened for almost two minutes before it became clear again. This time, all of the mentioned people were lying on the ground, asleep.
"He must be running away that time," Said Enma, as he glanced at Adelheid. "Which cameras that had this damage?"
"The one to go to the back gate." The suspicious was confirm. Tsuna did use the back gate to run away.
No wonder why people did not know his escaping from the mansion.
"Can we trace him down with any methods?" Asked Timoteo, hopefully to hear some positive answer.
"I'm afraid we need some time to do that," Said Spanner while everyone's eyes stared at him.
"Yesterday, me, Shoichi and Giannini checked on his account number or any electronic communication for some records. It turns out that his account banks in Italy, Swiss were closed down, and all of the money was withdraw at least three days before he disappeared. His phone was left at his room and no records were found inside. His computer also had no trace of his activities, worst, he deleted all his emails or any related things that could trace him down," Spanner said as he too, turned around his laptop and showed it to everyone in the room.
Everyone groaned as they realized that Tsuna really managed to cover up his traces perfectly. Unknown to them, two people smirked as they found out the news.
"How's the search for the Vongola Sky Ring?" Asked Reborn this time.
"Well…" Said Giannini. "We tried to our best to trace it, however, it seems like the ring's power was not available on our radar. Either it was covered with Mammon Chain or something that equals to the chain had covered it up."
"So we back to the square one, huh?" Said Suzume as she stood up, earning everyone's stare at her. "Good job, everyone."
"Do you want to go somewhere, Suzu-nee?" Asked Hibari when he saw both of his cousins were about to leave the room.
"Ah," She said. "I want to buy some souvenir for Kakeru and father in Kyoto. Arashi's going back to Japan tonight."
"EH!?"
"Why?" Asked Basil.
"We received an emergency call from our father this morning. Kakeru was admitted to hospital due to dengue fever," Everyone flinched when they heard the dangerous disease. "That kid was placed in ICU due to his high fever, and father wants at least one of us to come back and take care of him. Looks like that brat is throwing tantrum while having a high fever!"
"But…why Arashi-san?" Chrome said as Arashi looked at her with raised eyebrow. "I mean…usually at least an aunt can take care of her nephew, right? A woman usually more gentle than man…"
"Kufufu…Nagi, are you trying to say that we men are bad in child care?" Said Mukuro who held Chrome closer to his side while the said girl blushed.
"In your case, you are," Gokudera said bluntly, causing a vein popped up on Mukuro's head. "As much as I remember, Arashi is a doctor, am I right?"
"A former one," Said Arashi as he slowly, had a pained looks and strain smile. "I'm no longer a doctor."
For a while, everything was awkwardly silent before Suzume decided to break the ice and said farewell to them. Hibari rose up and said he wanted to join them, as he also wanted to buy something for his nephew Kakeru. Timoteo decided it was time to end the meeting and dismissed it, and everyone slowly left the room with promises to investigate the matter again.
Iemitsu sighed as he walked away from the meeting room. Ever since his son disappeared, he and the others tried their best to trace him down, finding any clues or anything that he had left behind.
Iemitsu had ordered the staffs to start an investigation regarding the missing Decimo since two days ago. Although Iemitsu was retired from his job, however in this case, he represented Timoteo due to his age. At first, most of them were shock to found out that the Decimo gone missing from the mansion, but none of them realizes or notices at all.
How did he disappear from the mansion without a trace?
Knowing that this matter would spread out in the mafia world like a hot gossip of famous celebrity, the Vongola high-ups had taken actions upon the matters.
It was not something that can be joke around.
This is serious!
A man who was related of the world's most outstanding mafia suddenly missing, but that was not the main problem.
The problem was that person was someone important because of his role as the Tenth Vongola Boss! Worst, it was his own son!
When the people within the Vongola and allies (aside from Cavallone) found out about the missing Decimo, everything was almost when into a mess! All of them –Giglio Nero, Gesso and Simon Families immediately went to Timoteo office and asked him whether it was true or not. Yuni, who was currently at her final stage of pregnancy, asked the Vongola Family with tears in her eyes. She kept asking whether it was true or not, and Gamma –her husband, tried his best to calm her down. Even Reborn had to interfere and tried his best to comfort the crying woman.
Sadly, it was true at all.
It was a month of September, a month after everything happened. After the incident that started their distant relationship with Tsuna, Iemitsu found that he was unable to look at his son's eyes. He felt like he did not want to be at his side, left him behind…
All because he found him committing that awful crime.
And he was unable to accept that fact.
However, that was not his sole reason why he joined this investigation.
There was another reason why he needed to find Tsuna.
Not because he left behind the Vongola and disappeared.
Not because he was a terrible sinner.
No.
It was not like that.
He just…he just wanted to know the reason of the incident that recently happened.
He wanted to know why he did not bother to tell him or the others the reason why he did the crime that he knew his son would never do. He knew that his grown-up son was not that kind of person who easily changed just for fun. Unless, something had happened to him. He knew him better.
Or, is he?
Suzume punched him very hard, a day after the incident happened, and Arashi screamed at him. 'As his father, you should believe in him more than stranger!' That was what he said to him, and he knew that young man was right. He should know his son more than he should know anyone else, but also, he knew that he knew him less than what people had expected from him.
Due to his job, he always spend his time away from the small family he had, claimed that he left them in order to protect them from danger, and as a result, he almost not participate with the boy's childhood and grew up as a boy who don't want anything related to his no-good father. Although both of them had better relationship after the Representative Battle, the incident last month had destroyed everything he had with his son.
"You actually not understand your son very well…Sawada Iemitsu. As expected from 'No-Good Father' like you."
Suzume's words like sword, stabbing his heart many times that he felt liked she already killed him and revived him again and again. She said it with an irritated face when the said father came to the hospital, learned that his son collapsed and was admitted to the hospital. Not long after that, everyone came by one by one, but none of them stayed long enough to see the brunette. They looked guilty, afraid, uncomfortable whenever Tsuna's name was mentioned and Arashi, snapped by sending them home, with words 'Why do you make yourself hard if you don't want to see him in the first place?' that stabbed everyone in heart.
Arashi was less harsh than Suzume, and he was not easily short-tempered like his sister, but he cared enough to make people that he despised to be honest with themselves. Knowing that the Guardians were not comfortable with Tsuna yet, he asked them to leave, but he had another meaning with his harsh words:
'Come back when you feel better to face him. He don't want you all to leave…'
After several days had passed since the hospitalization, whenever he saw Tsuna in the hospital, all alone, fighting to survive his weak condition, he realized that boy didn't have anyone from his Family and friends to visit him, with the exception of the first day he was admitted to the hospital, his PA, Romario and his few co-workers. He was the only one with Basil to visit him, and while Tsuna was sleeping most of the time while they came, he knew Tsuna was crying silently, because none of his friends came to visit him.
He was more like a crumble person who will break down in any moment.
That was why he wanted to know his reasons for acting like that, and yet that boy seemed to lose his ability to talk while he was confined at the hospital, thus interrupting the matter that he tried to ask at that boy.
And yet, he was gone…
Iemitsu rubbed his aching forehead as he told his staff to make sure not to leak the information about the missing student. Temporarily, they told the others that Tsuna isn't in condition to work for a while.
He hoped that it would be calm before the storm.
But how long he and the others could prevent such news from leaking out?
How long?
He also asked the allies in the meeting room and the connected staffs to shut up their mouth if anyone asked them about the incident. He also requested their help to participate with the investigation that he had conduct.
They had been tried to collect or search anything that related to Tsuna.
He sighed as he leaned against the chair; felt his headache had throb his head more than ever. He then glanced at the table where a piece of paper laid on the table.
It was the photo of adult Tsuna when he was 18 years old, graduated from high school. He was with his son and wife in the photo; the three of them looked very happy together. His friends and seniors were also within the photo, very happy with the graduation.
"Tsuna…" He said, as tears slowly gathered in his eyes. "I'm sorry; I shouldn't do this to you. Please, be safe…"
He did not know that Arashi was at the outside of his door room all the time, listening to his cry and whimpers of his own stupidity that caused his son to run away.
He just stood there alone, and silently listening the grief father.
-Sawada Household, Namimori, Japan, Day 6 of Tsuna's Disappearing-
Nana looked at the thermometer at her hand, before glanced down at her son who was lying on the bed in the guest room. He winced a little when the pain in his head throbbed as an after-effect of his high fever, and Nana knew this is not the first he ever sick like this. Followed by small coughs, Nana grabbed the wet towel from a bowl of ice water, squeezed it, before she wiped his face, hands, chest and back. Tsuna winced as the cold cloth touched his feverish skin, before him calm down and slept again.
After Tsuna came back surprised, Nana quickly ushered him inside, knew that it was already late night to stay outside; she even wondered how he managed to reach the house without anyone accompanying him. He took off his shoes and tried his best to put it neatly on the shoe racks until Nana reached out and stopped him, shook her head. Tsuna glanced at his mother and frowned. He always felt sorry for his mother whenever he saw how lonely the house was; it was too quiet. However, the kind woman just smiled and ushered him inside.
Nana did not bring him to his upstairs room; instead, she took him to one of the guestrooms where once, Fuuta, Bianchi, Lambo and I-Pin lived. Judging from his pale face and exhausted movement, Nana knew her son had a high chance to get sick. The thing she feared came true when the next morning, she found out Tsuna had a high fever.
"Gomen ne, Tsu-kun. Actually after your come back, I want us to have a feast tonight," Nana said sadly to her beloved son. "I never thought that you'll become like this…"
"Ah, okaa-san…" Tsuna called, slowly opened his weak eyes. "It's…it's OK…I'll be alright if I lay in bed and rest. Don't worry too much…"
Nana frowned as she heard this. Could it be Tsuna had been sick for long time?
"I won't worry too much if you just come back home normally," She said as she poured a water into the glass, making Tsuna twitched. "Did something happen at Italy?"
After some times, both Tsuna and Iemitsu decided to tell Nana the truth, much to the woman's shock. Although she felt disappointed because they kept many secrets from her and always made her worry, Nana knew they just wanted to keep her safe. However, she made them promised to tell her if anything happens, just like the situation she faced right now.
Tsuna stared at his mother, before he shook his head, slowly.
"Tsu-kun, you promise to tell me everything…"
"But…"
"Tsuna," Nana rarely called him 'Tsuna', and if she did that, she meant it seriously. "I'm your mother. I need to know what happened to you." Tsuna closed his eyes, as he sighed with defeat.
"Actually… I had a little fight with everyone and tou-san…" Nana was shocked to hear that; they had a fight with each other? "So I decided to come here for the time being. Moreover, maybe they will ask you. But can you please hide me?"
Nana blinked then giggled. "Of course, Tsu-kun! I'm happy that you decided to come here," She then put her hands on her hip, tried to look very intimidated but failed; she looked too cute.
"That Iemitsu, I'll punish him if he comes back! How dare he hurt my dear Tsu-kun's feeling!" She said in a scolding tone.
Tsuna chuckled. Must be funny to see the usually professional Mafioso to be scolded and punished by his beloved wife. 'I'm sure Nono and tou-san will believe kaa-san, considering tou-san's nature. "By the way, kaa-san…"
"Hai?"
"Can you…please cut my hair?"
"EH!? Why?"
"I feel my head very heavy…and hot…it's very uncomfortable…" Tsuna slowly sat up as Nana held him, afraid that he would fall down. She looked at his hair and it was soaked with sweats.
"Alright. I'll cut it off, but can we do it this evening? Kaa-san needs to go to shop for our groceries!"
"Gomen, kaa-san, if I'm not sick…"
"Now, now, don't worry about it. Lie down and sleep. I'll be out in a few minutes," Nana tucked her son in bed again and waited until he fell asleep. Relief that her son finally get some sleep, she slowly rose up when suddenly, she saw Tsuna's backpack was opened, and a small silky box was outside the bag. Felt curious, she picked it up and went to the living room.
Nana looked at the box curiously. It was made of wood and covered with aquamarine silk cloth. The embroidery was made with cold and silver threads, attached with small glittery beads. Nana slowly opened the box and saw several colourful stones inside of it. At the upper right of the box, she saw a paper came out within the stones and took it out. Unfolded the paper, she saw a message was written over it:
"Call me if you already reach Japan. This is my number, and don't worry, we won't tell them where you are. My acquaintances will come and help you."
-K. Suzume
Nana frowned. Judging from the contents of the message, she knew the fight that Tsuna had involved was actually, something very big. Otherwise her son wouldn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere at her house and crying uncontrollably. Besides, the message also said that this Suzume person won't tell anyone where her son had gone to, and she knew that he had returned to Japan.
Aside Suzume, there were other people who knew where her son now, and what exactly happened to him. However, she decided to ask Suzume first, since she got her phone number here.
Looking at the number, Nana pulled out her cell phone and quickly copied the numbers. After she locked the door and walked for shopping, Nana dialed the number and waited patiently for someone to pick up. After several minutes of walk, someone finally picked up the phone.
"Hello?" An English greeting without any accent came through the phone. Nana breathed in and out to calm herself, before she spoke.
"Anoo…"
"Is this Sawada Nana-san?" A Japanese question almost made Nana jumped from surprised; she thought that she was talking to an English woman!
"Yes, I am. Could it be this is…Suzume-san?" A pause, before the conversation was resumed.
"Yes, my name is Katagiri Suzume. I supposed Tsuna-kun already reached Japan yesterday, isn't he?" She knew it already? Quite surprising!
"Are you by any chance, Tsu-kun's friends?"
"Oh, ma'am, I'm just his PA."
"Well, I guess you're his friend too. Nobody would take care of my son so much if he or she is not his friend," Chuckled Nana while Suzume, on the other line, just smiled.
"Is Tsuna-kun alright, Sawada-san?"
"Oh please, don't be so formal! Just call me Mama!" Suzume sweat dropped as she heard that. However, she just smiled while her eyes scanned throughout the papers in from of her. "Then please call me Suzume."
"Tsu-kun is not…alright, actually…" Nana's voice trailed off, making Suzume's eyes narrowed.
"Tsu-kun is sick; he's having a high fever right now."
"WHAT!?" Suzume stood up from her chair. Good thing when Arashi and her first came to work as Tsuna's PA, he gave them each their own office (one large room divided by three; two were the office). Otherwise, people would see her reaction.
"Did you take him to the hospital?"
"I thought that too, but…"
"But?"
"I think I just call a doctor today. Tsu-kun seems very sick that he couldn't walk, I don't think he manage to go to the hospital."
"I see. Do you mind if I recommend one doctor to you? He's my friend actually, and he's recently moved to Namimori," Suzume grabbed her black leather notebook and slipped several pages before she found what she wanted to find. "His name is Andou Kazumasa, but just call him 'Andy'. I'll send you his address and phone number, and I'll inform him about your condition too." I don't even understand why the hell he wants to be called as 'Andy,' stupid megane!
"Oh my, thank you very much Suzume-chan! You really help me a lot!" Cried Nana, while Suzume winced. How long I've been call with '-chan'?
"My pleasure."
"Anoo…Suzume-chan, do you mind if I ask you some questions?" Nana's tone turned into serious, and Suzume, who already expected the turnout of the conversation slowly, smirked.
"Go ahead, I don't mind."
"Did something terrible happen to Tsu-kun?"
Oh.
She finally noticed it.
"Did he say anything to you?" Suzume put her phone onto her shoulder while she typed on the keyboard.
"No he don't, but, from what I could see, he seems quite terrified, exhausted, and sick. Tsu-kun that I know won't easily crying out of the blue, and if he was in trouble he always keep it away from me. This time, he even cried and don't want to go back! I don't want to ask him what had happened right now but I know that he knew I should know the truth one day. I just…couldn't really ask him right now…"
"Do you want to know the whole story?" Suzume paused her typing as she grabbed her phone and leaned against her chair. "The best suggestion I would offer is that you should ask your son and listen to his story, very, very carefully…"
"Because what had happened to him is something that you should not judge just from one side."
Nana's eyes widen as she stopped walking. Did she hear it right? Something bad had happened to her son? Why? How could it happen?
"Please, I'm begging you," Nana said, shaking. "I really need to know the whole thing! If it's not me, who else Tsu-kun would rely to? He said that he had a little fight with his father and everyone that he knows; it must be his friends too, but how can it be so little that he had to run away like this?"
"The truth is, I don't know what exactly happened either," Suzume could hear Nana's gasp from the line. "However, I believe that you need to know, that your son is innocent. I believe that someone who wants to see him fall framed him with a crime he impossibly can make. The problems are, all the evident and witness pointed him as the suspect."
"That's why you ask me to listen to my son's story?"
"Yes, so you really want to know the whole story, Mama?"
Nana gripped her clench onto her phone, tightly. Once again, she took her breath before letting it go, she set up her determination to know everything that happened to her son. Whatever happens, she needed to be wise in her decision.
"Yes, please tell me everything, Katagiri Suzume-san!"
A smirk.
"Very well."
Thank you very much for those who review and put alerts on this story, I really appreciate it. The next chapter will be the start of Tsuna's life in Namimori, and for spoilers, Kyouko will meet again with Tsuna. The acquaintances of Suzume would also in the next chapter, and I hope, if everything went according to plan, what exactly the crime that Tsuna was framed with will be revealed in the next chapter. This chapter is also very difficult to make, since the meeting situation was a bit complicate to end, and I have to make sure that nobody will feel confused while reading it.
I just remembered when I typed the scene of Tsuna in the guest room: where is Bianchi, I-Pin and Fuuta? I have no idea. Maybe I'll reveal it in the next chapter, but if we follow the original canon, I-Pin seems already moved out from the Sawada Household and lived alone, while Fuuta and Bianchi were unknown.
Psycho-Pass 2 will be air on 9th October, which will be in another two weeks! Kyaaaaahhh~! I can't wait for it! I hope for more Kougane moments but I also want some romance for Ginoza too (NO YAOI!)! Haha, when the first time I watch KHR (I found Psycho-Pass first then KHR, although the later I had read the manga in 2005), I always mistook Hibari as Kougami, and vice versa! I guess I really like KHR too because of the mangaka who also the character design of Psycho-Pass.
Next chapter will be a little bit interesting with the involvement of my OCs in this story. I hope you people enjoy this SADIST, CRUEL TWISTED STORY OF MINE! MAHAHAHAHAHA~!
Meet again in the next chapter. Please read and review. Ja ne! –Aoi Kitsukawa-
