The Other Way Chapter 2 Dairy of Tsunayoshi

It wasn't because I wanted to do it; it was because I had to do it. If there was any other way I could've handled that situation then I would have. But it came down to either us or them. And I chose us. I wasn't about to lose them. Not to a bullet not to an explosion, not if I could help it.
It's been a year since that day happen and nothing been the same between me and the guardians. It hurts that they would barely look at me, but then a lot has changed since that day.
-Tsunayoshi Sawada
Tsuna put the pen down and read over the little journal that Lueal gave to him. Lueal was the only one he could go to now. Maybe that day was a warning. Maybe she knew something, that's why she asked me those questions. She had a knack for foresight, but she wasn't a psychic that's for sure, cause her love for him was so great that she wouldn't hid anything from him. She was, dare he say it, more loyal and honest than his current guardians.
He remembered the conversation that he had with his other friends: Lueal, Mariam, Jacobe, Randal, Anna, and Toffee. Those six represented, no, could have been his guardians they stuck by him and helped him and soothe his growing fears.

Tsuna sighed, "You guys didn't have to come all the way here to celebrate Christmas with me."
Toffee was the youngest by everybody by two years, "Of course we would, and it's quite obvious that you were going to spend this year alone." Her electric green eyes flashed.
Randal sighed into his coffee, he reminded Tsuna of Fon a lot. His aqua blue eye, glared lightly at Toffee as he said calmly, "Tack, Toffee, tack."
She had the grace to look a little embarrassed. "Sorry."
Jacobe purple eyes opened as he said, "No need to be sorry considering how true that statement is."
The rest of them was about to say something until Lueal spoke up.
"It's about time we got to the real point of this meeting."
Silence fell in the large room.
"What," Tsuna said very intelligently.
"Tsuna, you know I monitor the gossip line of the underworld right." Tsuna nodded. "Then you should know that word is getting around that your guardians have abandon you." The group bristled in anger. Tsuna chocked back a sob. "And it comes to my attention that even your right hand man leaves on missions too when he's suppose be beside you."
"That's because," Tsuna started fishing for excuses.
"I don't need to hear it, in fact all of us, and I am speaking for all of us that you should release them from their duties and appoint new guardians."
"I won't, I can't," he said with conviction. "We made a pact."
"What good is it, when they don't do their part," Mariam yellow eyes burned into Tsuna. Usually she was hyper and a bit of an airhead, but today she was all business. "Tsuna face the fact, they abandon you. When was the last time you saw them?"
"When was the last time you asked Lambo how was school?" Anna asked her indigo eyes gleamed with amusement.
"When was the last time you had dinner with everybody?" Randal asked.
Tsuna felt tears rolling down his eyes because the answer to that question was so long. Too long.
"How many times did you kill to save their pathetic lives?"
Tsuna vomited as the memories of him shooting countless people to save his friends, his family, and all they did was stared at him like he was a monster.
Lueal leaned towards him. "Remember the conversation we had five months ago?" She whispered. "About what would you do if your guardians turned their backs on you? You said you would die remember?"
Tsuna nodded.
"I don't want you to die; I don't want you to die over a stupid reason such as your friends turned their backs on you." Lueal eyes turned into a deadly red tint. "They chose this path and they knew what they was getting themselves into and they should've been prepared at the fact that you would have to kill one day and they didn't and now they're running like cowards."
"They don't deserve to be your guardians, they are worthless and you need to find new ones." Toffee said smiling a blood thirsty smile.
Tsuna was tempted; god he would be lying if the fact making everybody return to their normal lives would make him so happy. "I can't," he said almost ashamed at his weakness. "You don't understand."
Randal sighed, "Oh no, we understand. You guys went through a lot together, training together, fighting together, almost dying together at one point or another, went through two wars. Oh we understand that you guys been through a lot together, but with how distant you are with each other it contradicts all the facts."
"Tsuna, I don't think we have to remind you that we're here for you and if you should ever need us we'll come to you."
Flash back end.
Tsuna sighed at the memory. He remembers the haunting words that Lueal parted with.
They are no longer worthy in my eyes, they turned their backs on you even when you saved their lives and for that, it's treason itself. You need to notify Reborn and Nono about this, before things get too bad. If you don't and you get hurt because of it, their rings will belong to us and I'm not above killing to get what I want. Fix it Tsuna, I don't want to see you more heart broken than you already is.
To late Lueal, it would seem I like to inflict wounds on myself, it would seem that I don't know the meaning of let it go or more like I them go.

It has been 13 days since I last wrote in this journal.
Coincidently it has been 13 days since I last slept.
Even more ironically, it has been thirteen weeks since I last seen any of my guardians and I'm scared and alone.
What's worst that Reborn sent a letter stating that he's going to be visiting real soon. So that meant that he'll be here in a day or so. Not enough time to come up with a passable excuse.

Reborn was less than pleased that I sent all my guardians out on a mission so "carelessly". Therefore even more pissed that he had to attend a meeting with me since none of them were close enough to come back in time for tomorrow.
I almost caved in by admitting the truth to Reborn that I haven't the slightest clue to where they were. And I know he wasn't stupid because I saw the glint in his eyes. He knows something, I know it, but I wasn't going to say it.
The two of us don't ever really talk unless he's scolding or teaching me something so it came to a surprise to him that I spoke up first willingly.
"Reborn," I said to him. "What would you do if the person closest to you turned their back on you?"
He stared at me funny. Apparently that was the last thing he was expecting me to ask. He pulled his fedora down and said to me plainly. "I would kill them."
