Reincarnation

Chapter Two

Old England

The cobblestone streets of old England were slippery in the grimy weather as Hibari walked smartly down the road, carefully avoiding the massive puddles on the uneven ground. All around him, people shuffled to move out of his way as Hibari strolled down the street. No one dared to cross the famed aristocrat of the Vongola Family, one of society's highest ranked clans. Hibari was the current head of the family, and there was no one foolish enough to challenge his title. So many would wonder why this important man was heading into that shabby looking flower shop on the corner of Nami Street.

The reason? Sawada Tsuna.

Hibari almost smiled as he opened the shop door,, chimes tingling on the rainy day. He removed his top hat and picked up his hedgehog cane, wiping his shoes on the worn welcome mat. The sweet aroma of fresh flowers filled his nose as he breathed in, relishing the refreshing scent that he could always smell on Tsuna whenever they were together. A rush of footsteps made Hibari jerk, nerves mysteriously on end as Tsuna ran down the stairs from the floor above to greet his customer. Hibari shuddered. For some reason, quick footfalls made his stomach queasy.

"Welcome to Sawada Florists—Mr. Hibari!" Tsuna's face flushed bright red as when he caught sight of the handsome young man.

"Hello, Tsuna." Hibari smirked. "I'm here for the usual."

Tsuna blushed again, nodding as he scrambled around to wrap up the rose already waiting on the counter. Hibari was a regular, and everyday he'd make a trip down to Sawada Florists just to see Tsuna. And while he was visiting, he'd buy a flower since he had more than enough money to spend. Pulling out a note, Hibari paid for the flower and was admiring Tsuna while he worked when the aristocrat noticed a beautiful blue flower sitting on one of the shelves.

"Tsuna…what is that?" Hibari asked. He'd never seen it before. The blue was gorgeous.

"Ah!" Tsuna said, breaking into a smile. "It's a forget-me-not, Mr. Hibari. A flower to remind the one you love of yourself if you're going away."

Hibari surveyed the flower again, then smiled and said, "Get me one of those, Tsuna."

Tsuna obliged, immediately reaching up to the shelf to take one down. When he handed it to Hibari, the young man suddenly moved forward to cup Tsuna's face with his hand.

"M-Mr. Hibari?" Tsuna spluttered, face, if possible, reddening even more.

Carefully, Hibari tucked the blue flower into Tsuna's hair, adjusting it slightly. Then he bent down to brush his lips lightly against the brunette's cheek.

"There's something I have to do…and I might not be able to come back." Hibari said quietly. "In case I don't…I hope you won't forget me."

And then he was gone, out the door before Tsuna could even more. Confused, the shorter touched the flower in his hair. What on earth was Hibari talking about?

He found out the next day.

Tsuna opened the shop to find sunlight illuminating the normally rain-drenched city. The heat was welcoming, but it sent chills down Tsuna's spine. There was not a single cloud in the sky that day. The neighbours were out, and they were gathering on the road, whispering and murmuring. As Tsuna walked forwards to see what was going on, he caught bits and pieces of the hushed conversations around him.

"…the Vongola Family…"

"Attacked at night!"

"…by the Rokudo Family…"

"…such a cowardly act…"

"…but Mr. Hibari was there!"

"…yes he was…"

"What happened to him?"

By now Tsuna had managed to push his way to the front of the crowd. And what he was made him fall to his knees in disbelief. A black coffin was being wheeled though the street, its destination obviously to the King's Castle, for the Vongola Family had been in His Majesty's service for many decades already. A purple clothe was draped over the polished casket, and placed across the surface was the hedgehog cane. The whispers around Tsuna dissolved into a faint buzzing, words becoming garbled in his ears.

"…the poor man…killed!"

"Mr. Hibari was killed?"

"…he died…burning his mansion to the ground so his trapped enemies wouldn't attack the village…"

Tsuna's eyes burned. Hibari's words replayed in his head again and again. Hibari already knew of the attack…he sacrificed himself so the Rokudo Family wouldn't attack the village…the village where Tsuna's flower shop was….

As the coffin rolled by, a gust of wind ruffled Tsuna's hair, and the forget-me-not drifted onto the cobblestone road.

Hibari was gone.

Hibari was not coming back.

Tsuna's restraint broke, and he cried his hear out in the street, tears falling like rain onto that little blue flower from clouds that will never exist in that village again.

Kat: ...Hibari dies again? 0_0
