*huff* *huff*
"*bzzt* Wol–*bzzt*–f. Can you hear–*bzzt*–us?"
A brown haired man hid behind a wall, camouflaging into the shadows. He had a deep cut against his stomach and the blood flowed out from his wound severely.
"Shu-shut up. I can't, I can barely speak." He breathed out. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, dampening his fringes, darkening the color. His golden yellow eyes glowed within the shadows as he tried to focus on his surroundings.
"Don't worr–*bzzt*–y. Rodent is on his way *bzzt*"
He just grunted. His heart thumped against his rib cage as his breathing became heavier. His injury burned and ached as his stomach expanded and compressed. He could hear some footsteps nearing. He sensed Storm flames coming from whoever approaching.
-Damn, I can't move. What to do?-
He stayed still and tried to calm his breathing down, not making a big sound as much as possible. The sound of the footsteps just grew larger and nearer. He also heard some whistling. It was a tune he knew so well, a tune that he despised with his life.
"Come on out wolfie~ Let's play~" an eerie voice had said.
The footsteps then stopped. It became silent. Thin mist started appearing, Wolf felt a much more eerie chill than what he had felt when footsteps were nearing. He sensed strong mist flames.
"Kufufu"
Wolf didn't know wether he was saved from the psychotic storm flame wielder or his danger was just tripled by this new creepy mist flame user.
ooooo
Sawada Iemitsu held pride in having a wonderful wife and sons.
His wife, Sawada Nana, was lovable, innocent and pure. She had a kind heart that pulled people around her with her warm smile. He still remembers the time he had met her at the cafe she worked at. She was just a normal woman but something had pulled Iemitsu's heartstrings and he had fallen in love with the beautiful woman.
He would visit the cafe eveytime just to get a glimpse of her. He eventually built up the courage to ask her out that budded into a friendship and into a relationship.
Because he loved her too much that he doesn't want her to be exposed to the dark side of his work. He hid his line of work. He was careful when he came home to their warm house thanks to Nana.
And then Nana blessed him with a child. A child that looked handsome with splitting looks from his father with his mother's eyes. Iemitsu loved his own child, his son. He had slowly abandoned some of his duties just for his own family and that became something bad as he became careless, erasing his tracks.
One day he had his son got kidnapped. Thankfully he had been early enough to save his child from the mafioso that had taken him away from his mother. And that day was also the day when his son had produced bright orange flames.
His young child, no older than four, had produced dying will flames. That scared Iemitsu. What if it had gone out of control? What if it got known by people? What should he do?
He had panicked at that moment. He didn't have any other choice but to let his child experience the harsh pain of having his life force locked away partly. And having no memories of his father at all.
He had groveled and apologize to his wife as he asked to say a lie to his own son, that he had gone and became a star. He left his precious wife, alone with his own son, not visiting ever again. He left his wife that was currently carrying their second child and his oldest that had forgotten who was his own father.
Ten years later he had came back. He saw his beautiful wife looking the same as before. Her hair shorter, but her warmth still stayed the same as ever, and her smile that always welcomed him for coming home, shone bright as ever it did.
It hurt him to see his son looking at him with curious and confused eyes. His oldest who was confused at the familiarity he felt with the older blond while the youngest looked curious at the intimidating man.
Iemitsu then explained the lie firstly when they ate dinner that day. He spent time with his wife apologizing once again and his wife forgiving him without a second thought, accepting his words still lacking the whole explanation.
He then proceeded to explain to his two sons the whole truth privately, keeping Nana out throughout the conversation.
And as he expected, his older had not believed him. He didn't trust the weird man in front of him. His younger looking confused as he was just a ten-year-old that didn't quite have the exact developed mind for things like the mafia.
Days passed and eventually his oldest had come to accept the truth and the dangers of knowing it. And he was also informed to why he was revealed with the truth when it brought forth great dangers.
The fourteen-year-old Sawada Ieyoshi was taken away from his mother and had to stay with the still stranger father to Italy.
Iemitsu had to ask for forgiveness from Nana for what he was doing and promised him to take care of his own son and just trust him. Nana just accepted his requests without any word. Just calmly smiling and still gave off that warmth that told him it was completely fine.
He flew to Italy leaving his young child and his wife again, with his older son.
Ieyoshi who was suddenly brought to the mafia world, had troubles trying to grow accustomed to its ways. He was trained by a guy who was no older than him by a year and he definitely despised the teen for being arrogant. Not that he could argue by what he's being arrogant for because it were all legit facts that he was a very strong hitman.
But then Ieyoshi was stubborn and hardworking. He had impressed the ninth boss of the mafia group his father was in. And also his own father was proud of his growing strength.
Iemitsu was truly proud of his son. And of course his younger son too as he heard the stories from his wife through the frequent calls he made.
He had heard how the former ten-year-old grow into a friendly child with great grades and great friends. He was an astounding student in their school. Favored by his peers, seniors and even teachers.
Then after a year, there had been an unfortunate accident. Iemitsu had thought he had his family in Japan protected properly, until there was a traitor who had his son kidnapped with his one other friend who was identified as the son of a mafioso whose Famiglia was influential as Vongola was.
His son and his friend went into coma and had still been sleeping for years.
Still, he was proud, he was proud that his wife was still going strong and not giving up on their other child that just seemed to not have any life at all. He was proud that his oldest still did his duties even with the sudden and unexpected happening. He was proud that his youngest was still holding on.
Iemitsu held pride in his family.
ooooo
"Iemitsu, have you had any news from the Cielo Rosa?" The ninth had asked the blond man who was his trusted advisor.
Iemitsu shook his head. He really wished to nod his head but sadly, he still haven't gotten in touch with the said famiglia since three months ago. He and his team have been going around trying to track some of the members of the famiglia but they just somehow disappeared without a trace.
"No, Nono. Even with the help of your youngest's team, we're afraid to tell you that we've still haven't gotten in contact with their forces. And there's a rumor going around that Wolf have been MIA." Iemitsu said.
Nono fiddled with the blue ring on his forefinger that held the Vongola insignia. This was a very big problem at the moment as they couldn't afford to lose their new allied famiglia who held a great amount of influence in Mafia as their own did.
"Should we already tell this to Reborn and Ieyoshi sire?" Iemitsu asked with a worried expression.
Nono shook his head at him. "I've already told him that they have been unresponsive for a year. I don't think he needs to get involved further into this controversy. He's still training to be the Tenth. I don't want to put any more pressure than he has as of now. Besides, his brother in coma is still taking a toll on him as it does to you." Iemitsu wasn't able to stop flinching at his boss's statement as it was true.
He may have said to have given up on his youngest but he still have a little speck of hope dangling in the deepest chambers of his heart. He wishes that his youngest wouldn't give up not now, not ever since he had hold on for three years.
"You can't hide anything from me Iemitsu, as the fact that I'm your uncle haven't changed and also the time I had asked you to be my successor before." the ninth had said to him.
Iemitsu shook his head at him. "Nono, I didn't want to have the burden of leading a famiglia as I am not as excellent as your former candidates. Besides my son is already doing great at his training to be a boss. You shouldn't bring up the topic of me being your former successor. Like before, my answer is that I don't have the qualifications as the perfect sky. I'm twisted but still keeping its own sane, sky." Iemitsu had said.
The ninth stayed quiet, watching his own nephew in front of him. The expressions that marred on his face that he had seen for so many times as they held this conversation, it never changed as his rejection of the right of the throne.
-If you just knew what kind of potential you hold.-
"I apologize Iemitsu for bringing up that topic again. I'll be more careful from now on. You may now be dismissed." The ninth said.
Iemitsu bowed shortly and proceeded out from the extravagant office that was filled with portraits of the former bosses and some paperworks stacked on the corner of the room.
ooooo
"Why is it that you have to always come with me? It's not like I hate your company, I hate the fact that your wouldn't let me have fun and have a break once in a while!" Ieyoshi groaned as he laid on the cemented floor with an aching body as he finished his excessive training with his hitman tutor that was pretty much a Spartan.
"You are to succeed the strongest and feared famiglia in the mafia world. You need to be trained to fit the exact boss that the famiglia needs. If you turned out weak and helpless, your famiglia will be in wreck to even follow such a lousy boss. And was that whining that I heard? I was even thinking of giving you an actual break." A smirk played on the older teen's lips as a chameleon crawled up to his arm.
That last statement had the blond begging on his knees, actually begging on his knees.
"Really Ieyoshi, it's disgusting to see you beg! That's very unbefitting of a boss. And don't worry, I'll give you your break for a while. But don't expect me to go easy on you afterwards." Reborn said with a sigh.
Like the exhaustion and pain was just a hallucination, Ieyoshi jumped up and own in excitement of his tutor.
"Thank you Reborn! Thank gods that you're being merciful today!" He said happily. Reborn narrowed his eyes at him. As much as he wants to take his words back, but his student that was just a year younger than him have been in a severe stress and it was also his responsibility to maintain his mental health as healthy as possible.
"Have your prepared for your flight?" Reborn asked as he hopped off from the high chair he had been sitting just now. The moment he landed on his feet he felt wobbly but didn't let it show as he was the greatest hitman, he's precise and careful. He's the depiction of 'almost' perfect. But then, he became worried about his recent health.
"Un. Have you? Nevermind, of course you did." Ieyoshi said and stretched his muscles.
This was the kind of relationship that they had built over these years. They weren't close but they weren't not close either. Reborn only did his job as his tutor and as an acquaintance. Even if Ieyoshi wanted to actually become friends with the one year older tutor he had, he couldn't because Reborn was passive.
"Go clean yourself up and rest. Nono just summoned me to his office. Don't you dare not do your print-outs. Or else I'm going to take back my words." Reborn said as he read the e-mail he just received.
Ieyoshi nodded at him and just watched the older's back figure slowly leaving his sight. Reborn was a very mysterious and intriguing person. Four years have passed and yet, he still seemed so distant. No matter how much Ieyoshi had trusted him, the older wouldn't open up to him as he does to him.
"Four years. Four years and the things that I know about you is that you're Reborn, the greatest hitman who's merciless and does not tolerate mistakes. I've never seen a soft side of you, only passive, silent and lonely side." He mumbled as he made his way to his own room.
ooooo
"I brought some textbooks for you. I thought that you would want them since you've been asking for some studying materials from the nurses and doctors."
Sawa Kanako. A woman with beautiful auburn hair and striking orange eyes. Tsuna was mesmerized by his own mother the moment he had saw her. She somehow held a regal but a calming aura around her. She felt like a sky like himself but he's not so sure as she had the traits of a rain.
The sharp glint within his mother's eyes never escaped Tsuna's sight. Her somehow tensed movements as if expecting to have someone appear and try to kill them, he had always noticed it. It seemed like Yoshi's family wasn't a normal family. And it wasn't just his father who was involved in Mafia but also his own mother.
Tsuna smiled at her gratefully. "I'm sorry for letting you bother mother. But thank you, I really needed it." He said to her.
"The doctor said that you can be discharged after a few days and I've been talking to the school you will be attending. They said that you can start anytime you want and I would like to hear when you would want to." She asked him.
"If possible, I want to start as early as I can. I'm already lagging three years behind and the more I waste time by just resting my perfectly normal body, those three years will become four years and so on." Tsuna said.
"Are you sure you're okay? I understand your feelings but you have amnesia and you weren't actually favored by kids before and I wouldn't want you to meet your former bullies before." She sighed.
Tsunayoshi has heard from his mother before that he had bullies and of course he knew that with Yoshi's memories. He was being ignored by his peers an not that Yoshi actually minded that fact and also there was Ietsuna who would constantly bug him.
"It's fine mother. I think I can handle them. If ever they tried to bully me like before, I'll make sure to tell the teachers properly. If ever the teachers wouldn't help me, then I would have to report to the police that I am bullied in school and my teachers doesn't want to help me. So I'm perfectly fine by it." Tsuna reassured her.
She nodded at him, finally giving in. She had thought that her son changed so much that she couldn't even recognize him. But he was still her precious son and she would never forgive the people who stole his chance to live his lost three years awake and with his family. She would never forgive them no matter what.
"Mother, is the person who was with me still asleep?" Tsuna asked. Kanako had told him about many things including the whole accident minus the part that he only knows. Thanks to that, he could ask questions freely without hiding the fact that he was not actually amnesiac because he can base his questions to the information he had gotten from his mother.
"Ietsuna-kun, yes he still haven't woke up. I still haven't told his mother that you have woken up because I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings as her son was in the same accident as you but still unresponsive. Eventually she will learn about it but I'm trying to find the exact timing to tell her." Kanako said.
Tsuna scanned the pages of the history textbook that his mother had brought. "I think it would be best if you told her sooner. That way, she wouldn't have to learn it from another person that would just hurt her more." He suggested.
"You're right. Really, you're still smart as ever Tsu-kun. It's time for me to go now. Don't push yourself too much reading those textbooks okay?" His mother said. He just nodded as he waved a bye at his mother's disappearing figure.
He had heard from his mother that she was currently running a café. And it has been going on for two years. Tsuna would love to help out at the café with his coffee making skills, curtesy to his former world where he had to experiment tastes for his big family who were always irritable when they visit the Vongola mansion.
He read the history book even if he already remembers all of it, due to the excessive tutoring that his former tutor had done to him. History was very important to his life as his life had turned upside down because of the history of his bloodline. So history is really important to his life.
He momentarily stopped his reading as a thought had suddenly bloomed inside his head. He never considered it before as his former plans were just trying to figure out what happened to Tsunayoshi as what to do about it.
And this sudden thought he had gotten was entirely becoming involved to the mafia and learning this world's version of Vongola History of why he was a Sawa and why his father was not Sawada Iemitsu like in his world. And also the still, striking appearance he had held to the first generation Vongola when he was not of a direct bloodline because his father was not Sawada Iemitsu.
Another thought had came to him. What will he ever do if he can't ever leave this parallel world or when he doesn't want to leave this parallel world?
