Meeting in the Past
Chapter 3
Tsuna woke up groggy and it took him several minutes to really wake up. But as he opened his eyes expecting to be in his room, he quickly became aware that was far from the case. It looked like a chic european-styled hotel room.
Then he remembered, it wasn't a dream, he had been hit by the Ten-Year Bazooka and as the pink cloud of smoke disappeared he at first truly believed he had traveled to the future once again and was surrounded by his ten-year older guardians but it only had lasted a few seconds before he realized the coloring were wrong. More than that if he went to the future he should have exchanged place with his futur self, which meant the man before him who looked alike was Vongola Primo and the six other men his guardians. That's when he'd freaked out a bit and fainted.
Groaning, he sat up in the bed and put his head on his knees. How had he managed to somehow get catapulted around 200 years into the past ?
That's it Giannini was banned from touching the ten-year Bazooka once he went back to his time. Well, he had to hope he'd go back as soon as possible. At least he hadn't woken up in a cell so that must mean Primo didn't think he was an enemy or posed a threat to his famiglia.
The door to the room opened and a man Tsuna recognized as Knuckle, the first generation Sun guardian, entered, his gaze immediately zeroing on Tsuna.
"Buongiorno. Primo said you were awake." He smiled and the brunette boy relaxed a bit.
"Huh, ah, Bunjiorno ?" He tried, his Italian skill pretty non-existant for being a Mafia heir for several years now.
Knuckle seemed to understand that he didn't speak italian pointed with his thumb to the door behind him and said, "Primo." then gestured for Tsuna to follow him.
Not really having a choice Tsuna followed him in the corridor.
He was in trouble. Reborn, what should I do ? He thought, just as they arrived before a double door. Knuckle opened it and Tsuna gulping stepped in the room to find himself faced with Primo and the entirety of his guardians.
Knuckle spoke more italian in direction of Primo who frowned.
"Maybe he speak japanese." Said Ugetsu in his own language.
"I do, speak japanese I mean, I'm japanese." Tsuna spoke up, instantly feeling the gazes of seven peoples on him making him wonder if he shouldn't have. And how much could he tell them about him or the future without changing things. Ahh, it was even more complicated than when in the future.
"Japanese ?" Primo spoke as if his nationality was a big mystery for him.
Tsuna nodded but didn't speak again.
"Oh, sit down, you look like you're standing in front of an execution platoon." Chuckled Knuckle switching to japanese as well.
He felt like it too, Tsuna thought. He couldn't help be wary, especially with Alaude and Daemon Spade gaze focused on him.
"What is your name ?" Primo asked him, not unkindly.
"Tsunayoshi, Tsuna for short." He honestly replied.
"Tsunayoshi-kun, a nice name." Ugetsu smiled at him.
"Do you know how you found yourself here ?" Alaude questioned him coldly.
"Well, I was in my room at home, and accidentally got hit by the Ten-Year Bazooka but it's supposed to send you in the future not..." He cut himself, worried he had already said too much.
"In the past." Finished Primo and Tsuna grimaced uncomfortably.
"Maybe your wish Primo combined with what happened to young Tsunayoshi had the effect to hijack him during the transfer bringing him here." Daemon theorized seemingly fascinated by the prospect.
"But that leave the question of why him specifically came in response to Primo's wish." G finally spoke for the first time.
Primo silently looked at Tsuna for a moment making him fidget.
"Are you my future son ?" He finally asked intently.
Tsuna's eyes widened at the assumption.
"Wha !? No ! I'm not !" He shook his head emphatically and Giotto wasn't sure if he should feel insulted at how quickly and resolutely the boy had replied in the negative.
"I'm not your son." Repeated Tsuna before continuing. "But you are my ancestor." He somewhat embarrassingly confessed. "I think, my great-great-great-grandfather ?"
Not only Primo but everyone else too seemed stunned at the revelation.
"How far in the future ?"
"The 21st century."
"So around 200 years or so from now." Mumbled G lighting a smoke.
"You said something about a wish ?" Asked Tsuna before they could question him further about the future, as Reborn said 'A best defense is sometime to take the offense.'"
"Lampo picked up a stone to give me and somehow it reacted to my thoughts, it shined really bright before and then you appeared." Said Primo.
"It was a pretty stone." Whispered Lampo with a pout to himself.
Tsuna held his head in his hand nervously as he thought.
"Could it bring me back to my time ?" He finally asked with some measure of hope.
"Perhaps, we don't know much about it." Frowned Primo.
"If only we could ask someone about this rock." Grumbled G.
"What about Talbot ?" Knuckle suggested.
"That's a good idea. Alaude contact Talbot as soon as possible." Primo decided and his Cloud guardian nodded.
"It is possible that Tsuna-kun here might only be able to go home once Primo wishes are considered fulfilled." Supposed Daemon.
"In this case it would be to learn about the future of the Vongola." Said Ugetsu.
Tsuna's eyes widened in alarmed at that.
"I don't think I'm supposed to talk about the future, what if it change things or would it create a new parallel world, ahh I wish Irie-kun was here."
Primo observed his descendant have a small breakdown, they might look alike somewhat but their personalities were apparently very different, granted Tsunayoshi was still very much a child, and would probably mature but he didn't remember ever being like that.
"I agree with the boy, it could be dangerous to learn about the future." Seriously said Knuckle cutting into his thought.
"But it could be a good thing too." Daemon said making Tsuna uncomfortable.
Sensing that Primo locked eyes with him and told him directly, "You don't have to answer anything you don't think you should." He promised.
"Thank you." Tsuna gave him a small smile.
"You don't seem that surprised to be in the past though." Commented Lampo.
"Ah, I guess I'm not really." Tsuna scratched the back of his head. "I should have known it'd happen one day with my luck." He mumbled.
"Is it because you already travelled to the future with this Ten-Year Bazooka device ?" Curiously asked Ugetsu.
"Yeah, I mean yes." Nodded the younger japanese boy.
"Informal speech is fine." Smiled Ugetsu.
"It look like you're aware about Vongola and us too." Said G, pensively looking at him, Tsuna felt as if he was being x-rayed.
"Are you part of Vongola ?" Giotto asked interested in knowing if his descendants were involved in the organization he created.
"Well, I learned about it a few years ago, my tutor told me about my ancestor being the Vongola Primo. But I live a pretty normal life in Japan, mostly, when possible." He dodged the question, his voice becoming smaller and smaller by the end.
"But it has to mean the Vongola exist in your time as well." Surmised Daemon, seemingly content about the fact.
"It does." He nodded. Though it was a Mafia organisation now.
A knock came at the door at this moment and a maid appeared to announce diner was served. They all left for the dining room, except Alaude who went off on his own. Thankfully for Tsuna he wasn't asked any more questions, and only light chatter about italian cuisine compared to japanese filled the dining room.
Though Primo and a few of his guardian had a small talk in italian that Tsuna was not privy to.
After diner he was brought back to his room and told to ring the bell to call the maid if he needed anything.
He waited until he was sure he was alone before flopping down on the bed repressing the urge to scream into his pillow, he wasn't twelve anymore after all.
Reaching into his shirt he pulled his Rings out, at least Natsu was with him. How was he going to get out of this ?
Meanwhile Primo and his guardians had gathered back into the sitting room.
"What do you think ?" Giotto asked.
"Tsunayoshi-kun seem to be a nice boy." Volunteered Ugetsu. Knuckle agreeing with a nod.
"He's hiding something." Said Alaude neutrally.
"Not wanting to talk about the future because of cautiousness in changing it isn't a bad thing." Knuckle retorted.
"However it is true that he is reluctant to say much about Vongola and his relation to it." Said Primo.
"Perhaps it concern our future and the way we died ?" Daemon thought out loud.
"Don't say things like that !" Shivered Lampo.
"The only thing we really learned is that Vongola still exist in his time and some poor girl will take pity on Giotto and marry him." G summarized.
"Oy." Called Giotto to his friend with a glare, making most of the others laugh or show a small smile.
Back in the present after waiting for a few hours and beating up both Lambo and Giannini, Reborn had to conceed that Tsuna was still not back from where he was sent and nobody had arrived in his place. Just as he was thinking up some measures on what to do the doorbell rang and he heard Iemitsu exclamation.
"Old man Talbot ? What bring you here at such a late hour ?"
"Sawada Iemitsu, I need to speak to Reborn about Sawada Tsunayoshi."
Reborn was already halfway down the stairs.
"Old Talbot, if you're here that mean you must know something." The hitman tugged his hat down more over his eyes.
"Indeed."
Thank you for all the follow, favorite, and reviews ! Hope you like it so far.
