Author's Note: Now, we're in the Future Arc!
Disclaimer: I do no own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
I jump onto the tree branch and look around the oddly familiar looking forest. Where am I? I jump back down and continue to frown. I continue to look around, feeling panicked. Okay…I got hit with a bazooka. The bazooka sent me somewhere else…What do I do? Ah! That bazooka was the Ten-Year-Bazooka that the cow kid has. I remember hearing about it. I look curiously at the rings that were on the floor along with the boxes. I pocket the strange purple boxes and rings. I decide to continue to walk around. Suddenly, I hear some sounds. I look around, startled. There's a robot in front of me, a very familiar looking robot at that. I gasp as I get surrounded by three more of those robots. There's no escape now…
Back to before the bazooka came…
I let out a sigh as I as I continue to walk back home. What a dreadfully boring day. It's almost depressing when nothing happens. I look around as the usually busy street is completely clear of people. As I look up I gasp as a purple bazooka comes flying down on me. Yes, thanks for the irony… I try to move out of the way, but I'm too slow.
After fighting in the future….
I wince as more pain shoots through my body. I look at the four Gola Moscas on the ground. I cough and see blood splatter on my hand. I do my best to ignore it and I continue to trudge on, clutching my stomach. Then, I see a stone staircase. I drag myself up the stairs to see a familiar sight- Namimori Shrine. I gasp as a sharp pain shoots from my stomach. I'm pretty much injured all over. Those things were tough to fight. I see a familiar looking man walk towards me. "H-Hibari-san…?" I ask, wincing again as the wind blows on my open wounds.
"What happened?" he asks.
"F-four…Gola Moscas...They surrounded me…" I reply. I feel light-headed…I think that it's from the loss of blood. I feel my mind start to go blank along with my vision. I feel my legs give out, but I never feel if I actually fall to the ground.
I open my eyes to the blinding light of the room and wait for them to adjust. "Ah, you're awake." says a male's voice.
"Huh…? Kusakabe Tetsuya…?" I ask, recognizing the ridiculous hairstyle.
"Yes, that's right. You were injured in the fight with the Mosca. Kyo-san brought you back to the base and insisted on keeping you here," he replies.
"I see…" I mutter, still lying down. I hear the door open.
"Oh, you're awake," comments an unfamiliar looking woman. "That's right…you haven't met me yet. I'm Bianchi. Hyato's older sister," she adds.
"Nice to meet you," I say as I sit up.
"You were passed out for about two days. Your wounds are almost completely healed. It seems that you heal pretty quickly," she says.
"Hm, I see…" I mutter, piecing the information together to create a time line.
"The clothes you came in are still getting cleaned. I'll get you some now," she says, walking back through the door.
"Thank you…" I mutter. I sit there patiently and wait for Bianchi to return with clothing for me to wear. Kusakabe gets up to go tell the others that I'm awake now.
I look up as the door opens. "You're healed," says the older Hibari.
"Yes…Thank you for bringing me here," I reply.
"Hm. Those four Mosca...You should be thankful you survived that. Most people have trouble with just one," he says.
"…I could have died here and disappeared from here and the past then…" I say, feeling slightly uneasy.
He stands up. As he leaves, I hear him mutter, "No, I wouldn't let that happen."
"Here," says Bianchi, passing me the clothing.
"Thank you," I reply, taking the clothing.
"It seems like he still has feelings for you," says Bianchi, looking in the direction that Hibari left. I look at her blankly, confused.
She smiles and says, "Let me bring you to an area where you can change. I'm pretty sure your future-self had a room here."
After I finish changing into a black hoodie, a white t-shirt and a black and red plaid skirt, I re-lace my black-knee high boots. Then, I take the time to actually look around the room. Apparently, this is my future-self's room. It's very simple and has only a few personal possessions around. I look at the manila folder lying on the desk. I walk over to it and open it up. I look at the contents of it. Realizing that this is the information on the tests that were done on me, I start to read. I skim through the things I know already and my eyes land on one particular part- "Test subject was given the power of 3 of the 6 Paths of Reincarnation- the first realm, third realm, and the fourth realm." I close the folder, not wanting to know more. Three of the six realms…So, I have the Realm of Hell, the Realm of Beasts, and the Realm of Demons…Why is it that I only found out now…? Shaking my head, I decide not to ponder about this and choose to just accept that I just found out. I continue to look around the room.
Next I look at the pictures on the desk. There's one of my future-self standing between Ken and Chickusa with Dokuro next to Ken and a male wearing a frog hat crouching down in front of my future-self. They seem to be standing in front of somewhere I've never been. How could anyone get us to take a picture anyways? The next one is of my future-self standing with Kusakabe and Hibari in Paris. …Why…? It's a really odd thing, looking at pictures and seeing a person that I know is me, but different from the one I know as me currently, and standing with people I know in places that I've never been to. I hear knocking on the door. I walk over and open it. "Ah, you're done changing. It suits you," comments Bianchi.
"Thank you for the clothes," I say.
"Don't worry about it…Let's go see the others. They were anxious about you," says Bianchi.
"Okay," I reply.
I follow Bianchi through doors and try to remember my way and what room is what. We walk into a room that looks somewhat like a mess hall. "S-Sato-san!" exclaims Sawada.
"Kasumi, you finally woke up?" asks the Arcobaleno. I nod.
"Yes, apparently," I mutter.
"Sato-san, what happened to you?" asks Sawada.
"I got surrounded by four Gola Moscas," I say.
"F-FOUR?!" he exclaims.
"I would have run away, but really strong illusions are required to fool machines," I say, frowning. My concentration broke once I got hurt…It was harder after that…"Now, could someone explain to me what's happening?" I ask.
