"Those idiots got themselves caught. What do we do now? We'll have our cover blown." The female attendant said to her male companion.
"Don't fret over it too much. They won't tell anything regarding us. Besides, we have someone to finish Sawa Tsunayoshi once and for all." The guy said with a smirk painted on his lips.
The girl didn't say anything back but a grin had made its way to her face.
"Yes, I guess I am worrying over nothing." She said.
...
"Sawa-san, will you please meet me after school today?"
Tsuna raised a brow at Hayato. Why would he want to meet up after school? Even with the confusion he just smiled at him and nodded in response.
"It's okay. I don't have anything to do after school so, sure!" Tsuna answered.
Hayato cracked a small smile at him that mae Tsuna dumbfounded. That was the first smile he got from Hayato since this morning. Tsuna felt happy because Hayato is warming up to him.
"Tsunayoshi-kun."
Tsuna stopped his musing and now turned to look at Fong.
"Ah, Fong-sensei. Is Kyoya-kun okay now?" Tsuna asked. Fong nodded at him.
"Yes. I am thankful of you Tsunayoshi-kun for keeping him safe. Is your arm okay?" Fong asked.
Tsuna waved his hand. "It's fine sensei. It doesn't hurt at all, though it stings some time but it's okay. Reborn-san dressed it properly. And also, you don't have to feel bad about it. At least Kyoya-kun is unhurt." Tsuna said.
Fong still looked guilty but he didn't say anything further about his injury.
"If it's okay, can I ask you the what happened? I did hear from Reborn-kun and Ieyoshi-kun but to check for other information, I'd like to ask." Fong said.
Tsuna nodded at him and started filling him the details of what happened. Fong nodded as he listened intently.
"Thank the heavens you happened to run into the two. Thank you again Tsunayoshi-kun." Fong said.
"No, really. It's fine Fong-sensei. I just hope Kyoya-kun won't have bad people tailing after him." Tsuna said.
Fong thanked him once again and told him another thing.
"Tsunayoshi-kun, I'm sorry but I overheard your conversation with Gokudera-san. He's a new student from Italy right?" Fong said. Tsuna nodded at him.
"Please be careful when you meet him. It's not that I'm saying he's a bad person but I just feel alarmed with him. It's just something about being a Hibari to feel danger. So, please take care of yourself." Fong said.
Tsuna didn't say anything back and only watched Fong's retreating back. He did know the danger in Hayato. Especially just now. His intuition had twinged when the new friend of his had asked to meet up after school.
But Tsuna couldn't understand. Why would people pursue after him? He should really check his background sooner or later. What if he was chased by some big famiglia without him knowing? He could endanger his mother or his friends at this state.
Tsuna just made his way back to the classroom. He will think about those things later.
...
Golden eyes blinked open.
"Finally awake?" He turned to the familiar voice of a woman just to see his trusted vice-commander, Cheetah.
"You've been asleep for a week. Well you did wake up but you slept again. Kanako-san has find out about our situation. Peacock informed her because there were no one who could function properly." Cheetah sighed. He cringed at that. His wife will definitely kill him.
"Anyways, you should call Kanako-san. Even if she seemed calm and collected from the calls, I could tell she was worried sick." Cheetah said.
"Yeah. Thank you Tania." He said, saying Cheetah's real name.
"No problem, boss. Anyways you also need to fill in the other details. I know you've found something." Tania said.
"Yeah. It's quite...troublesome. We, I need someone to go to Namimori. I need someone to protect my family." He said. Tania dipped her head in understanding.
"I'll speak to the others."
"Thank you."
With the other gone, he picked up the readied phone on the table near the bed he had been sleeping into. Whilst running his hand through his unruly brown locks, he had speed-dialed the number one on his phone. After a few rings, the other picked up.
"So?" He heard his wife say the first thing. He smiled sadly when he had noticed the small tremble in her voice. If it was anyone other than him, that person would never notice. But it was him and he knew his wife well.
"I suppose you want to kill me now." He said.
"Yeah. I want to fly to Italy to just finally kill you so I won't worry if you're dead or not because I've already killed you myself." Her threat didn't seem to be like much of a threat because of the hidden relief that he had noticed from his wife's voice.
He merely chuckled at his wife's attempt to be nonchalant.
"I miss you." He said.
He then heard a sniffle from the other side. He guessed that maybe he had really gone too far this time. He never slept for a week. The longest he had slept were about five days. He must have gave a big scare to his wife this time. Even if she tends to act like she doesn't care.
"Dammit Yoshino. You scared me. Just to tell you, our son already woke up and the thought of losing you when our son had barely survived, I can't take that."
He felt himself holding his own breath at that. Did he just hear her right?
"I'm sorry, what?" He asked.
"Tsuna woke up Yoshino. He has amnesia but he finally woke up."
He felt a great surge of happiness in relief. His son, who had low chances of surviving had woken up. Sadly, he has amnesia, but he was awake, he was alive. But then he could also feel his stomach drop as his son will be exposed to danger more because of what he had just learned a week ago.
"Kana, I'm going home next week." He said, dreadful coming over him as he remembered the information he had stumbled upon during the wipe-out.
"You've just recovered. What's with the sudden decision? Not that I don't want you to but you have affairs to settle. And you didn't tell me that you have allied with Vongola." Kanako said.
Yoshino gulped at that. He knew well that it's suicidal to do that. But this involved them and he also needed their power.
"It's risky, I am aware of that. But I had to, Kanako. I just had to. Or else everything will crumble into nothing. Please, just trust me on this. I know you do not agree to this, I know you're upset, but I needed to." He explained.
He could hear her wife sigh. He knows it's dangerous to get involved with Vongola any further. And surely it will cost his life if ever...but he needs to when it involved his family.
"I'm no longer the Cielo Rosa Quinto. I gave up that title, and now you are leading the famiglia, though it's unknown. I cannot and I won't say anything of your judgement but as your wife, I am worried and scared. I am worried that whatever you're thinking might fail, I'm scared that...that I might finally lose you. But I believe you. I trust your decisions. So it's fine." Kanako said.
Yoshino smiled endearingly. He really love his wife. She is the best thing that has ever happened to him, including his son. She's wonderful and she's perfect for him. He has never wanted anything other than her and their son.
"I love you." He said.
"I know. And I love you too." She replied.
"You should go speak with your squad as fast as possible. I think you've found something important. As much as I'd like to hear about it, I am busy too. And they are dying to hear from you. Especially when Avidita had proved to have been concerned with this matters. And you do know that if they are involved, those people are involved too." Kanako said.
His face had become grim. As expected of his wife to immediately come into an accurate conclusion.
"Yeah. It's quite troublesome and the Vindice seems to be unaware of this problem as they didn't do anything." Yoshino said.
"More like, they cannot do anything for some reasons. Anyways, I need to go. Customers are flooding into the cafe. Talk to me after you speak to the others. I can at least help you with some few insights of my own concerning this matter." Kanako said.
"Thank you. I wonder what I did to deserve you." Yoshino smiled.
"Idiot. You blackmailed me remember? Unfortunately, you're the one who got caught in the trap." Oh, he knew well that his wife is smirking at the moment from the tone of her voice.
"Yeah, yeah. I can't wait to see Tsunayoshi next week." He said.
"About Tsunayoshi...I'll tell you later after you finish with your business. There's something about him actually." Kanako said.
He raised a brow at the worried tone of his wife. She's rarely bothered unless it really bothers her.
"I'll try to finish the meeting as fast as I can." He said.
"No, take your time. And another thing, I've got the number one hitman and the Vongola heir visiting my cafe recently." She said.
He chocked on his spit in shock. Before he could say anything, he found the call being ended by his wife. What in the world did she mean by what she said?! Why were those two in Japan? What's going on with Vongola having their heir around his family?! What if his son got into danger?
"Dammit." He cursed in a low voice as he speed-dialed another number.
After a ring, it was picked up in a instant.
"Prepare for an ARC meeting Panther."
"Got it. Wait, you're awake?!"
He immediately cut off the line. He's definitely didn't want to have Panther's hysterics on the phone.
...
"Why in the world do these people know about Sawa Tsunayoshi's existence?" Kaios asked his friend, Ieyoshi.
"I do not know. It's either some traitor leaked information or the most likely, it's the same people from three years ago. But I do not understand why they would use amateurs if they want to kill the child of Cielo Rosa." Ieyoshi said.
"But if they do want to kill him, they could have done it while he's in a coma." Myall said with a confused face.
"They thought he wouldn't survive so they never had to." Reborn said. The three turned to look at him. He had been in a phone so they were surprised by his sudden presence.
"Still, I don't understand. Just who are these people and why do they want to agitate us so much?" Ieyoshi sighed as he ruffled his blonde hair. He couldn't really understand this matter even after three years.
"I don't think this is a simple attention yearning Ieyoshi. Nono seems to be hiding something from us. The Avidita got annihilated." Reborn said. Ieyoshi blinked at him.
"He doesn't what to involve us huh?" Ieyoshi mumbled. Well, he should have known though. The old man already felt so bad for pushing the tenth title to him.
"I do not understand why he wouldn't involve me, though." Reborn said. That also confused the other three. Reborn was the number one hitman and he doesn't break rules. Do they not trust him?
"What should we do about these guys?" Myall changed the topic. Reborn smirked at her and the three knows that expression well.
"You guys call the others." Ieyoshi sighed. He wanted to have a peaceful vacation for god's sake!
"But leave Gian. He has to babysit Dino." He added.
Dino was also pain in the ass. He badly want to just beat the hell out of him to leave him alone.
"No, leave Dino to Ieyoshi. You guys take Giancarlo. Ieyoshi you stay. You and I will look after Tsunayoshi." Reborn said.
"As you have heard." Ieyoshi sighed again. Damn, he didn't want to deal with Dino.
...
"Bianchi?"
Gian was confused when he had gotten a call for his female cousin who never bothered calling him that much. On top of that, she looked panicked.
"Gian help me. Dad and Hayato got into a fight and Dad kicked out Hayato and Hayato is off to do something bad and oh my god, I just knew about it now. He's planning to kill the Cielo Rosa kid or something! How in the world of mafia did they even know who's who? I thought that's confidential!"
"What?!" Gian exclaimed. They'd be damned. Cielo Rosa will wipe out Bianchi's family at this rate.
"What's the problem Gian?" Dino asked. He was finally free from this wretched roles after a few more budge to Giancarlo to release him.
Gian was now angrily spouting a string of curses in Italian as he listened to whoever he's speaking to on the other line of his phone.
The call then ended and Gian was now running around the apartment, changing into some clothes and picking up things.
"Hey, Gian. What's the matte-" he was thrown a baseball cap on the face.
"Shut up and follow me. We're going to Ieyoshi's house." Gian growled as he rushed to the door.
Dino immediately brightened at the said name. He was meeting his beloved sky again!
"Wait for me!" Dino said and followed after the redhead friend of his.
...
Iemitsu bit his lower lip as he went through the files of Avidita.
Oregano, one of the CEDEF officers, had her finger moving in a fast pace as she tried to obtain the hidden data of the said famiglia who was annihilated recently. Surely their files would be easily obtained but they were wrong. They've got some seriously hidden data that a mere weapon-making famiglia should not have, or that's what they have thought.
"It's done..." Oregano sighed.
Iemitsu tore his eyes away from his own laptop and moved to Oregano's side. His eyes scanned over the letters on the screen, the famiglia name, the actual secrets and their hidden allies.
He momentarily froze when he had seen a familiar name.
"W-why are the Cielo Rosa allied with them?" Oregano stuttered as she blinked countless times to check if her eyes are failing her.
"Formerly. Take note of the 'formerly' part." Iemitsu said.
"But if they are formerly acquainted to this famiglia, doesn't that mean Cielo Rosa might be hiding something from us? They didn't mention that they were formerly allied to them. They're trying to hide something." Oregano said.
"No. We can't just jump into conclusions. Maybe that Cheetah person did not know of this fact. Cielo Rosa have been civil throughout the whole time. They don't seem to have any evil intentions. Besides, they took down this famiglia because of Wolf's son being targeted by these people along with my son." Iemitsu said.
"Yes, Sir. But we should be careful. We don't really know them." Oregano said.
"I do know that. It's better not to provoke the unknown." Iemitsu muttered the last sentence silently.
But why? Why does it bother him? He doesn't think that Cielo Rosa are plotting something against the Vongola, but he doesn't understand why they are so hell bent on refusing the alliance. He does understand that they just want to have peace and allying with Vongola will gain you a huge amount of enemies.
But he cannot comprehend the reason of this sudden 'temporary' alliance just to take down the famiglia who dared to attack his son.
Experimentation. Sky Flames.
Why would these people know about Wolf's son? Even the Vongola did not know that fact until they reached out to them to take 'revenge' for his own son.
Iemitsu feels bad for his own son, but he didn't really have the thought of trying to track down that famiglia for years. It just seems impossible and what's done is done. But Cielo Rosa have been persistent.
Just why?
Their information is confidential and no one knows about it. It only seem like their son had been accidentally brought into the Vongola mess but they are serious that it was intentional to target two sons of each strong famiglias.
When you just think about it, it's just like they already know whoever the mastermind is and they don't what to let that person go.
Iemitsu is conflicted.
Just what are the Cielo Rosa thinking? Just who were they?
"Oregano, report this to Nono. I'm just going to the Varia Headquarters to speak with Mammon." Iemitsu said and went out of the room.
Mammon had said that he also didn't know anything about the famiglia even if he hated to admit it. He's one of the best information brokers but he doesn't have anything on the said famiglia other than the general one.
But he will still ask him if he has anything new. And maybe get some insights on this case. He should probably check is bank account to keep Mammon silent about their conversation.
...
Yamamoto Takeshi, 14 years old, a baseball player.
He lives with his father who runs a sushi restaurant. If his father's background is the same as Tsuna's world then Yamamoto Tsuyoshi is a former mafioso who had successfully hid away from the mafia, having a family of his own.
Tsuna chewed on his butter roll bread as he gazed down the sweaty figure under the sun while standing on the baseball grounds alone. It was lunch time and most people were eating but Takeshi was practicing his batting under the scorching sun.
This has been ongoing since Tsuna's first day of school when he had witnessed his fight with who seems to be a baseball club member. Ever since then, Takeshi never smiled like he used to and their classmates had avoided him, like whatever rumors about him before had been confirmed and no one wanted to have any connections with him.
Tsuna had half of his attention to Kyoko's chattering with Hana and Hayato. He didn't hear Haru say anything. Well, it's not like he expected her too from the obvious uncomfortable stature she had while having Sasagawa Kyoko within her vicinity.
He deduced that maybe Kyoko and Haru has some history that Haru doesn't remember or doesn't want to talk about. Kyoko is subtle about her emotions towards Haru but Tsuna is a trained mafia boss and nothing can escape his eyes. (Even the hidden intentions of his former storm guardian)
He sighed as he tore away his attention from the baseball-loving teenager who wore a pained look while standing on the baseball field and turned to watch his new friend from Italy.
Hayato said that he wanted to meet after school. Fong had told him that he felt unsure about Hayato and his Intuition already acted up about that.
He doesn't really want to fight one of his former guardians but it seems like he will have to, later. And it also seems like he will have more people coming after him soon as he remembered the two people this morning.
He needed information but he also needs to be able to protect himself. It's either you put the other first in this kind of situation and Tsuna knew that he would need to be able to defend himself first before he goes around hacking information from the underground.
"What about you Sawa-kun? What is your favorite color?"
Tsuna snapped out of his thoughts and put on a smile as his friends' attention had turned from Kyoko to him.
"Oh, I really love the color Orange. It's warm and lively. It's the color of sunrise and sunset. It's like it defines the beginning and the end." Tsuna said.
"Now that I think about it, your eyes somehow look orange sometimes Sawa-kun. Did you know about it?" Kyoko commented. Tsuna blinked many times at that.
Well, when he first woke up from coma, he had his brown-orange eyes that he got from his former world due to going in and out of Hyper Dying Will Mode for many times but after a few days, it had gone back to chocolate brown.
He suspected that it turned brown-orange because of the transfer of his soul and his strong sky affinity but his soul had finally settled to the inexperienced body of his counterpart that it returned to its original state.
He thought that it completely disappeared but it seems like it didn't.
"My eyes turn orange? That's strange. My eyes had always been brown, well except from the time I woke up from coma. I had orange eyes back then. The doctors didn't say anything about it because my eyes eventually turned back to it's original color which is chocolate brown." Tsuna said.
"Your eyes changes colors?" Hayato asked. That made Tsuna chuckled inwardly. It looks like Hayato's fascination over complex things is the same in this world.
"I don't know it myself. Maybe it's just some kind of a side-effect of a long term coma? As I have said, the doctors didn't really comment anything about it." Tsuna said.
"But comas don't make your eyes change color unless you suffer from some kind of a brain damage that changes the pigmentation of your eyes. And once your eye color changes, they don't just go back and switch colors just like that." Hayato explained.
"Even if you say that, I don't really understand the reason for my eyes to switch colors just like that. Maybe it had been the trick of the light?" Tsuna said.
"But you said yourself that you had orange eyes before." Hana said.
Tsuna doesn't really understand why the topic of conversation had become the color of his eyes. It's not like he could tell them the truth about it because they're civilian and they certainly won't ever believe in parallel universes and switching souls.
"Look, even if you try to pursue this conversation, you're just stressing out Tsunayoshi for what he doesn't exactly know himself." For the first time, Haru had spoken up. And Tsuna is extremely thankful for it.
"Miura-san is right. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought that topic up." Kyoko apologized.
"No, it's fine. At least I knew that my eyes actually changes colors time to time. Anyways, what's your favorite color Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna asked.
Hayato seemed to pause at the question. Tsuna noticed how his emerald eyes turned dull for a second.
"Blue." He said, seemingly hesitant. Tsuna blinked a few times.
"It's calming. Depending on its shade, it can be quite aggressive and strong but the soft shade of blue is calming and serene. Completely different from red which is always raging." He added.
"It kinds of suits you. You're silent, kinda aloof. Serene." Kyoko commented.
"I don't think so." Hayato countered. Kyoko looked taken aback but it was immediately wiped away as curiosity filled her expression.
"Why do you say so?" She asked.
"Red is his color." Haru blurted out. Kyoko didn't seem to be pleased by her interruption. But it wasn't like Hayato had anything to say why he doesn't think blue suits him.
"He might be calm and collected but he's brimming with burning passion, hidden by his facade. Like the calm before a storm. You would think that blue suits him but he's actually like an aggressive red. Blue is not him because blue is patience, he's most likely to be short-tempered but he tries his best to be calm." Haru said. Hayato looked surprised at her explanation. Tsuna was no different because he didn't think that Haru could be that insightful about people.
"But he's not anything like you have depicted." Kyoko countered.
"No, she is right. I'm actually temperamental. I tend to be aggressive some times but I've come to contain it because of how I was raised. That's why I thought that blue is not my color." Hayato said.
"Hmm, interesting. People have always thought you're weird because you don't speak to people and you don't really care about the others. Who would have thought that you're actually observant." Hana said.
"People don't really know me." Haru said.
"What do you think is my color?" Tsuna asked.
"I don't know. I'm confused wether to put you yellow or purple. Yellow because you're bright, purple because you're sometimes mysterious. But you said your favorite color is orange because it's warm,lively. And when I think about it, it seems to suit you well." Haru said.
"You accept people easily, you are sometimes aggressive but not too much, serene. Warm and comfortable, like the color orange. Calming. You're calming orange. Not the orange, orange. I don't know, it's hard to explain." Haru said.
Tsuna wondered if Haru actually knew about dying will flames because it's just creepily accurate.
"I kind of agree with Miura-san's explanation. You're really warm Sawa-kun." Kyoko said.
Tsuna only smiled and went back on munching on his bread. Their conversation changed to the topic about their lessons and some other things.
Tsuna's heart twinged when he was reminded that he is a sky. It made him feel happy to hear that he's warm and comforting, because that's what a sky is. Accepting, harmony. But he felt sad that he didn't have his elements.
He did have one, but they are not bonded. He's currently empty, searching, lonely.
He knew that this was not supposed to be his life and this is just temporary and it will only last until he fulfills his counterpart's request. But he can't help yearning for the things he had before.
His eyes flickered to the window, to the baseball grounds where the sad tune of the rain flames came from.
He was lonely. Really, really, lonely.
...
Nana was sitting on the chair beside her sleeping son's bed.
Her eldest had come home but she just couldn't stop her routine of coming visit her younger son who still didn't make any signs of waking up. Tsunayoshi had woken up and she hoped that maybe, maybe her son would also wake up.
But two weeks, three weeks has passed. Her son was still asleep.
She felt unfair. Why? Why won't her son wake up? Just why? Why was it that she had to suffer like this? Did she really lose her son? Should she give up? Is her son really a lost cause?
But she still hoped for a miracle. That her son would flutter his eyes open and those blue orbs would look at her again.
"Ietsuna, when will your dream end? Won't you wake up now?" Nana said shakily as she touched her son's cheek.
The room seemed to be colder these past few days. And the pit of her stomach just churned badly as devastation started filling her again.
He won't wake up.
No, he will.
He's gone.
No, he's still there.
He's gone...
"Please wake up." Nana could not stop her tears from flowing out of her eyes.
She still believes her son will wake up.
...
"Wha-we were just about to call you Gian. And Dino..." Ieyoshi blanched at the sight of a beaming Dino. Oh the torture of having him infatuated with you.
"Ieyoshi, help me find my cousin." Gian hurriedly said. Ieyoshi raised a brow at his storm guardian's distressed state. He remembered that both of his cousins were in Italy. But considering Reborn is with him here in Japan, Bianchi must have flew here.
"Did Bianchi fly here just like this blonde idiot over here without knowing where Reborn is?" Ieyoshi asked.
"No! My cousin Hayato! He's here to assassinate the Cielo Rosa kid!" Giancarlo panicked. Ieyoshi's jaw dropped.
"What did you just say?!" He exclaimed.
"Wait what?" Dino was now equally shocked as Ieyoshi.
"How in the world did he even know who the kid is? But wait, Cielo Rosa's kid lives here in Namimori? What? I thought Cielo Rosa's information are all confidential?" Dino was so confused at the moment.
Reborn just overheard what Giancarlo just spouted and he had shot his gun near Ieyoshi's feet to knock him out of his stupor. He shouldn't be dawdling around at this moment.
Gian's cousin is most likely to be hired by whoever tailing Tsunayoshi at the moment and had him enrolled to his school because he's around the age of Tsunayoshi.
Reborn was frustrated because why would Mafia know about Tsunayoshi when Cielo Rosa are tight with their information?
"Ieyoshi, go take Gian to Namimori Junior High and check Tsunayoshi. I'll call Fong to lookout for Tsunayoshi. Myall, look after Dino. Kaios, call the others, we're gonna go raid these bastards' base here in Namimori." Reborn ordered.
Ieyoshi snapped out of his shock and immediately grabbed his storm guardian's arm and started dragging him. Dino just found himself in ropes again with Myall sucking on a lollipop beside him. Kaios was dialing the other guardians while Reborn was dealing with the two pursuers they caught to spit out their base.
"Who's Tsunayoshi?" Dino asked the girl beside him.
"He apparently is the Cielo Rosa's Wolf's son that was involved in an accident with Ie-sama's brother Ietsuna and was in a coma but just woke up weeks ago and he's got mafiosi trying to kill him and as temporarily allied with the Cielo Rosa, Ieyoshi feels obligated to protect the kid." Myall said.
"Wait, the rumor is true? Vongola is really allied with Cielo Rosa? There is really an incident concerning a Vongola child?" Dino was dumbfounded.
"Damn, that's confidential Myall! Don't go spouting that around!" Kaios said as he finished speaking with the others.
"He already heard about him. We should just fill him in before he turns insane because his curiosity. You don't want him to be more insane than he is don't you darling?" Myall said sweetly. Kaios made a disgusted face at her.
"Not now, Myall. Not now." Kaios warned.
"Okay~" she just said.
Reborn had successfully made the other two spit out the truth. And as he expected, Gokudera Hayato was also one of them being hired by this unknown famiglia to assassinate Sawa Tsunayoshi. Sadly, he couldn't get any information of the mastermind but they've still got a bunch of idiots like these two to take care of.
"We're going to go to the neighboring city. It seems like these guys' accomplices are waiting there." Reborn said.
"Yes, Sir." Kaios said.
...
The classes have finally ended and Tsuna was now making his way to the school's backyard to accept whatever Hayato was planning to throw on him. But he doesn't know if he will be able to take it easily.
He has been distracted since lunch break because of Takeshi. He could feel him being stressed and exhausted, anxious and depressed even meters away. It would come barreling to him when they're in the classroom. He just didn't know what to do.
He has been feeling agitated because he's been feeling empty. He remembered Reborn saying that it's bad for a Sky to not have his own elements. It's would make his flames become unstable and lash out on other people within his vicinity.
That was one of the bad things for being an active Sky.
Tsuna sighed as his hands ran through his untamed brown locks. He feels unbalanced and unsettled. The rain flames were putting him on edge. He was even hyper aware of the tune of Hayato's storm flames because of his recent sensitiveness.
He rounded the corner and found the bespectacled boy there.
Now, how to deal with an assassination attempt from someone you hold dear.
...
"Sawa-san, thank you for willingly accepting my selfish request." Hayato said.
"No, no. It's fine. So what's the problem? Is someone bothering you?" Tsuna asked, concern painting his features. His intuition hummed about something that he felt inclined to ask if someone was actually bothering him.
Hayato seems to pause again, like he did this morning. He then shook his head. "No, there's no problem Sawa-san. I just want to apologize in advance." He said.
Tsuna's intuition hummed in response. Danger but not danger.
"Why would you apologize?" Tsuna asked, acting oblivious despite the annoying buzzing feeling his intuition beat his head.
Danger but not danger. Tsuna was annoyed that his intuition had to repeat that. He knows that it's dangerous being Hayato was attempting to kill him but also not at the same time because Hayato was not willing to do so and Tsuna recognized him as a family.
"I apologize for this."
Tsuna now found himself in face of a black gun. But instead of getting scared of it, he was fascinated over the fact that Hayato was not using explosives but guns! Now that's a baffling change because even in the future, Hayato still used explosives, unwilling to let go of the weapons he has been using since young in exchange of guns.
Hayato has yet pulled the trigger. Tsuna knew he was hesitating because Tsuna was practically a civilian. A person who had just woke up from a three years coma. A nice person who had willingly became his friend on the first day.
"Is that a model gun?" Tsuna decided to act dumbly, obliviously.
"This is a real gun, Sawa-san. I've come to kill you." Hayato simply replied.
Tsuna hummed.
"Kill? Why?" Tsuna asked, unfazed.
Hayato stared at Tsuna. He wondered why Tsuna was not afraid. A normal civilian would scream at the sight of a gun but Tsuna was simply standing there, acting like it was a joke despite the reality. He was calm. He didn't know if he's being dumb or not.
"Aren't you scared?" Hayato couldn't help but ask.
Tsuna smiled at him.
"I was chased by men with guns this morning while holding a five year old child who was scared out of his wits because of the flying bullets. I was shot on the arm but it was only a graze, nothing big." Tsuna said.
Hayato's grip on the gun tightened. Tsuna then added,
"I presumed that those men were after the young child because he was...a Hibari. But seeing that you're here out to kill me, I guess those men were my pursuers."
"You didn't answer my question." Hayato said.
"You didn't either." Tsuna countered.
They stared at each other. Hayato was thinking how peculiar Tsuna acted while being held at gunpoint and wether to really pull the trigger or not. Tsuna was thinking if he can talk Hayato out of it or how he will knock the gun out of the other teen's hands if ever he thought of pulling the trigger.
"Aren't you going to kill me?" Tsuna finally asked.
And as if on cue Hayato fired. Tsuna threw himself on the ground when his intuition came barreling into his mind with full force that he had to 'duck' not lean his head away.
A loud explosion rang through the place as whatever the bullet had came in contact.
Tsuna immediately jumped up and ran towards Hayato. Hayato then fired another shot and Tsuna had to roll to the side, the bullet hitting the ground and exploding again.
Damn, he thought that this Hayato doesnt utilize any kind of explosives but instead he's using a unique gun which has bullets that explode. If one of those bullets came in contact with him, he will definitely lost a limb or have his body explode into smithereens.
Tsuna shaking himself out of surprise, he immediately made his way to tackle the silver haired teen and get that gun out of his hands.
"Dammit. Why the hell are you so slippery?! Are you really a civilian?!" He heard Hayato said amidst the loud sounds of the bullets going off whenever it made contact with whatever within the vicinity.
Tsuna was growing tired, throwing his body wherever to not let the bullet even graze him is depleting the remaining stamina he had. His graze wound had also grown itchy when he skidded onto the ground when he rolled to evade the shot.
"Gokudera-kun. Please, stop this." Tsuna pleaded.
He can't understand why he's doing this.
"I need to kill you!!" Gokudera yelled as he tossed the gun away, making Tsuna relieved until it went away when Hayato brought out dynamites.
Damn, he thought that no more dynamites with Gokudera Hayato but he was horribly wrong and his intuition is not helping him at all with this matter!
With no Hibari Kyoya, well, adult Hibari Kyoya around, no one will snoop in to stop the bomber.
"Why are you doing this!" Tsuna yelled after he jumped to the side to not get bombed.
He didn't understand. He saw the information. Hayato was loved by his father and cared by his own sister. He was a musical prodigy. He was doing fine. So why? Why is he here with his freaking dynamites trying to kill him? Why was he in mafia? More like why is he involved in killing people?!
Tsuna then felt adrenaline course through his veins when Hayato, like before, dropped a dynamite, trying to use a big amount of it. He found himself forcing his battered body to move.
A larger explosion rang through Tsuna's ear as he tackled Hayato, rolling as far as they could, shielding him with his own body to take most of the damages.
He let an ear-splitting scream erupt from his throught as he felt his skin scalded by the heat of the explosion.
Black spots danced around his eyes as he was drowned into the pain, his ears ringing, head feeling like it would burst from the unbearable pain he got from hitting his head on the ground.
The only thing he thought before he lost his grip on his consciousness was that,
He better not go into a coma again.
...
He knew.
He knew that he didn't belong there. He knew that he was not supposed to be there. He knew that he should never take up the position of the next boss because he had to be somewhere, beside someone.
Striking green eyes took in the reactions of his family to his ridiculous act in front of their relatives. Bratty, rude, arrogant.
They whispered,
'Why can't he be like his brother?' 'He's a disgrace to the famiglia.' 'They should just make him go to a suicide mission.' 'That child is a waste of space.'
It hurt but it didn't really, if he thought of the results he will gain from his actions, it was far more valuable that his reputation within this Famiglia, with his current family.
"Bovino Lambo! Go back to your room this instant!"
"As if I would, BALDHEAD!!"
He ran away from his father's underlings as he laughed a boisterous laugh. Damn he hate himself but he doesn't want to be ever chained to this famiglia. He will leave this place and find whatever the reason his gut is telling him to leave.
When he successfully lost his pursuers, he stopped his embarrassing act and sighed in exhaustion.
"I want to find that warm brother from my dreams." He mumbled.
Truly, he wanted that dream about a certain young man who took care of him dearly, preciously like how you should to a family, to become a reality.
He never remembered the face, the name. But he remembered the warmth he excluded.
Lambo ruffled his head in annoyance as his big brother's name just wouldn't come into his mind.
"I will definitely find you, big brother."
...
Kanako suddenly dropped a cup, shattering it to pieces, earning a startled scream from one of her trusted employees.
She ignored the worried voices of her other staffs as she cleaned up the mess, with the help of one of her staffs. She felt very unsettled and anxious all of a sudden and it worried her that something might have happened to her son.
"I-I'm sorry guys, I need to leave early. Can you hold the place on your own? I'll come here again later to check the place again, I promise." Kanako said to her staffs and she earned approvals in an instant due to their concern for her health as she looked paler than her usual color.
Kanako left the store in a hurry to go back home, licking her lips in anxiousness.
Oh God, the last time she felt like this was when Tsuna fell into a coma. Please don't tell her something grave happened to her baby.
