Thank you guys for the reviews I appreciate them completely.

The Other Way Chapter 3 Senseless

It was quite clear that Reborn knew something was up. And Tsuna was positive that Reborn picked up on the rumor about his family and Reborn would make it a habit to ask random questions too. Like how is everything going with the family, while at the same time rubbing his gun like he almost dared Tsuna to lie to him.

Tsuna wasn't about to jump to the bait. He wasn't going to be manipulated into doing thing the way Reborn wants them to be done. He was going to do his own thing and that was lie like hell.

"Everything is fine."

November 20, XXXX

Reborn left two days after the meeting I attended. Reborn and I couldn't believe it, looked reluctant to leave.

I was sad that he left as well seeing how the mansion got ten times bigger than it normally would've been if the guardian were here. I knew that my guardians aren't going to show up at thanksgiving. It wasn't a bet worth taking and apparently my other friends thought so as well. For they called me a hundred times asking, "Was I sure that I didn't need company for thanksgiving."

I replied, "No," every time. I regretted it, but I wanted to keep up that false sense of hope that they would come back.

I'm an idiot.

Tsuna almost jumped for joy when he saw all his guardians return at the same time. However they all refused to look at him and that made him unmistakably angry.

"Nobody is going on a mission, we're having a meeting as in now, no excuses," he looked at everybody. "No exception."

Once everybody settled down he blew up, "What is y'all problem?" The room shook and his turned into a deep orange that everybody was momentarily convinced that he was going into hyper mode. "A year, a damn year, and not one of you say anything to me unless you absolutely have too, why?"

Nobody said anything.

Tsuna banged the table, "Silence is not an answer."

Everybody shifted, "Y-you changed." Chrome actually spoke up.

"I changed?" Tsuna mocked. "Is that the best you can come up with, 'I changed.'?"

"Kufufu, I suggest you don't take that tone to Chrome," Mukuro scowled.

"I suggest you give me a straight answer," Tsuna challenged.

"You didn't keep your promise," Lambo said quietly.

"Promise," Tsuna growled. "Please tell me what promise I failed to keep."

"You promised that you wouldn't take lives unnecessarily," Gokudera said. That really hurt Tsuna right there. His self-proclaim right hand man officially left his side.

The room was quiet, Tsuna was angry, no he was furious. To think they would accuse him of such a thing.

"How dare you," he rumbled. "How dare you? To say such a thing, you think I killed those people for no reason? You think I killed those people because I wanted to? Tell me when had I ever killed anybody for any reason other than a selfless one. I never killed anybody to get what I want. I killed them, because we were in a situation whether it was us or them and I chose us every time. Why would you say something like that? I did it for you guys."

"You turned into a monster." The air was sucked cleanly out of the room as all eyes shifted onto Tsuna gauging his reaction.

Surprisingly and scarily enough, he laughed. He just laughed a jolly good laughed that erupted from the pit of his stomach. Then he went quiet, "Is that so?" He looked at them with a look of a mad person. "If killing people to keep you guys safe from any kind of harm, then I'll become a demon and destroy anybody who comes our way."

He left the room leaving occupants wondering what they just set loose in the world.

…

The room was big; it was filled with a desk, two couches, two arm chairs, and a coffee and lamp table. The chandelier hung in the center of the room and it sparkled like true diamonds especially in the sun.

Four men occupied the room, a tall blonde hair male, two raven heads, and silver hair. They were all dressed in black suits and they all had different expressions. A grim one, calmed one, impatient, and possibly a bleak one.

The blonde hair male spoke first, "The rumors are getting out of hand."

The older man spoke second, "I tried my best to quell the rumor, but it's going on pretty strong."

One man barked, "I knew letting those kids into the mafia was a mistake."

A gun cocked, "Shut up Xanxus."

Xanxus snorted unafraid as he pulled out his guns. Then blonde hair man slammed the coffee table to gather their attention again.

"We have more pressing matters at hand than you two fighting over something so senseless," the blonde hair snarled mangling his smooth and suave features. "We need to get this ridiculous rumor to die down."

Now it was time for the other raven hair male to snort. "Nice try Dino, but we're all here, and that mean one thing. Not a single one of us believe the rumor to be false."

The old man raised his eyebrows. "Well we might feel that way, but we can't jump to false conclusions either."

The raven hair male pulled hiss fedora down and said, "The rumor might not be that far from the truth."

"Reborn?"

"I visited the mansion the other day and it was empty."

"Empty?" They echoed.

Reborn nodded, "It was devoid of any life form besides the obvious one and it looked like now been there for a long time."

Dino admitted it, "I don't understand."

Reborn sighed, "It's like Tsuna was the only one living there and the only ones that was keeping him company were his maids and butlers. Compare to last year the place was filled with people…"

"In other words?"

"It's like the guardians disappeared from the face of the earth, trash."

Dino scowled, "Is there anything we can do?"

Xanxus scoffed, "I doubt it."

The old nodded, "This is something we can't interfere in, it has to be solved by the people who are directly involved in the conflict. If we step in we'll mess things up for them, so we must leave it in their hands."

None of them like it and it was left unspoken that something was going to happen and it'll decide Vongola's fate.

...

Tsuna locked himself in his room. He practically trashed it trying to find his private cell phone he used to call them with.

Dialing the number, the phone ranged once and with a clear head and bleeding heart he said, "Lueal, I made my decision."
