Chapter 30: Storm
Tsuna could hear the person he was talking to chuckle,"Oh! And your guardians and Reborn are currently looking near and far for you. They're going havoc!"
"Ahahaha!" Tsuna laughed whole heatedly totally forgetting what he wanted to say to the man he was talking to earlier. It has been a while since he laughed. "I see. Thank you for cooperating with me."
"Any time Decimo. But now that you're here, where do you want to meet up?"
"Hmmm…" Tsuna thought for a while but then an idea popped in his mind. "How about Namimori Shopping District?"
"Why…I'm already near that place. I'm currently at the town of Namimori. I was planning on buying some tea there anyway."
"Typical you. Jaa, matta ne! (So, see you later!)"
"Hai, Decimo~" The person on the other line teased then ended the call.
The brunette smiled then closed his eyes in hope to take even the shortest nap he'll ever have in his entire life.
After the guardians were told that the brunette was indeed going to Japan, all of them can't wait to see him again. Fong, Colonnello and Lal Mirch excused themselves because they had other things to deal with like more investigating. The guardians went their separate ways with Gokudera going to who-knows-where, Yamamoto going back to the sushi shop, Chrome going to some store before going back to Kokuyo Land, Ryohei going to the boxing club's room and the head prefect tweety going to the reception room to take a nap or something.
Gokudera Hayato was currently walking around, not noticing where he was headed. He recalled all those sweet and painful days that he had spent with his boss and his fellow guardians. He sat at some random bench where the park could be easily seen.
((Flashbacks…))
"Nee Gokudera-kun…"
"What is it Juudaime?"
"It's just that…sigh…tomorrow we'll need to fight right…"
"Hai! We need to defeat the Varia if you have to be the boss!"
"B-But t-that's exactly my point! I…I don't want to be the boss…"
"Juudaime…"
"All I want is to protect everyone…"
Gokudera smiled at the brunette beside him, "Then you need to fight the Varia to protect us Juudaime!"
Tsuna's head lifted itself up and saw the silverette grinning and he too smiled, "Y-Yeah…"
…./….
"Gokudera-kun!"
"Watch out Juudaime!"
Gokudera rushed over just in time to push his beloved boss to the side missing a flying bullet.
"HHHIIIIIEEE!"
"Don't worry Juudaime! I'll protect you!"
/…../
"Juudaime!"
"Gokudera-kun, behind you!"
"Nufufufu~"
Gokudera managed to escape the attack from the 1st Generation Mist Guardian, Daemon Spade. "You're weak…"
/...…/
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT! Gokudera-kun's my right-hand man AND my friend! You can't tell him to just give me back the ring and leave to go to Italy!"
"J-Juudaime…" Gokudera looked at the brunette with awe then took a deep breath before he spoke. "Juudaime. I swear to you that even if I don't get the position, I'll still devote myself to you!" Then the silverette turned to his look-a-like, "My resolve is firm G."
"Isn't that enough?" a small voice said from behind.
"Fong-san!" exclaimed the brunette.
"Che…" G scratched his head a little. Tsuna looked at the storm arcobaleno in question, "What do you mean Fong-san?"
Fong smiled at him, "He wanted to test your bond."
G also smiled a little and looked at Gokudera, "I was testing if you have an unbreakable bond…If you'll be Decimo's right-hand man, you two must trust each other fully and not half-heartedly…"
Gokudera was just starring at the clear blue sky. "I wonder how Juudaime's doing… " he wondered out loud. He closed his eyes in relaxation when the wind stated to blow. He heard the children running, their cheers, and their laughters. If only Decimo was there with him…
He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice a young girl with a bright yellow dress trip until she cried. The girl was on sight but a little far. He sighed. "I should go help her…" the bomber decided. He figured out that if his boss was really there with him, the brunette would also tell the silverette that they should help the young girl. Just like that time…
"WWWAAAHHHH!" wailed a young girl with a bruised knee at the sidewalk. Tsuna and Gokudera were on their way home. Yamamoto could go with them since he had to help his dad with the shop because of its surprise number of customers. The two saw the girl and decided to help the poor kid. Gokudera hesitated at first but ten gave up when he saw the desperation in the eyes of the brunette.
Gokudera sighed. It can't be helped after all…
After several hours of searching, Tsuna and Gokudera managed to look for the mother when they heard her complaining to the polis saying things like, "WHY DON'T YOU LAZY BASTARDS STOP TALKING TO ME AND FIND HER! SHE MIGHT BE WALKING WITH SOMEONE BY ACCIDENT!"
"Please calm down! You might wake up the whole neighbourhood!" pleaded a man.
"But Miss! We don't even know what your daughter looks like!" whined a male voice, probably a polis officer too.
"I ALREADY FUCKING TOLD YOU! SHE'S A CUTE GIRL WITH CUTE POM-POMS ON HER HAIR AND A CUTE VOICE , IN A CUTE PINK DRESS!" the woman shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Wow! She could easily spar with Squalo-san's voice…" Tsuna said in awe.
"But ma'am!"
"SHUT IT! IF YOU WON'T FIND HER THEN I WILL!" she said and was about to storm off when Gokudea stepped out from the shadows.
"Ehem! We found a cute girl with cute pom-poms on her hair and a cute voice, in a cute pink dress." Gokudera recited as he recalled what the other used to describe her daughter. The mother's eyes widened in surprise to see her daughter asleep at the back of a brunette kid, who was behind the silverette.
The girl woke up and ran to her mother, crying in joy. Tsuna and Gokudera left the re-united family alone. Tsuna grinned at the bomber, "Now that wasn't too hard right?" Gokudera chuckled, "Yeah right…You weren't the one who recited that idiot's mothers' words of 'cute' about her daughter…"
Tsuna pouted and punched Gokudera at his shoulder lightly, "Hey! I wasn't the one who thought of repeating what the mother said!"
And with that, the two left then separated to their own ways…
But before Gokudera could stand up and help the crying girl, he heard her calm down. He looked over to the girl and found somebody with her. A guy..no…a teenager just like him…he has brown gravity defying hair, similar to the brunette he once knew…
…
…
…
WAIT! "C-Could it be Juudaime? Fong-san did say that Juudaime is headed to Japan…" Gokudera looked at the young girl again but only found her smiling with a rabbit band-aid and a vanilla ice cream on her hands. Where did that guy go?
A/N:
