Chapter 34: The Sky Meets…
((FLASHBACK...))
He could hear the other line ringing. He waited for the other line to pick up while did some thinking at the same time. Then finally, the phone was picked up.
"Hello?"
"Ah. Ciao! Or is it 'Konichiwa' here in Japan?"
"Decimo! It has always been a pleasure talking to you."
"Any news from the HQ in Italy?"
Tsuna could hear the person he was talking to chuckle, "Why yes…Your guardians and Reborn are currently looking near and far for you. They're going havoc!"
"Ahahaha!" Tsuna laughed whole heartedly. 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.
Tsuna got off the taxi near what people around there called as 'Namimori Park'. He decided to take a little stroll, enjoying his moments of freedom from Reborn and his guardians. The air there was clean, and the laughter of innocent children could be heard. Tsuna enjoyed his short stroll. He then ended up on the park. He sat for a while to rest before continuing his walking.
His peaceful rest was interrupted when he heard someone crying not so far from him. He saw a young girl wearing a bright yellow dress kneeling at the ground crying. He immediately went into action and went to the young girl's aid. He brought out a band aid with rabbit prints and showed the girl one of his famous smiles.
"Here you go~ Don't cry nee~?" Tsuna said with his 1,000 watt smile. The little girl lightened up a bit and smiled back but was still sobbing, "N-Nee…mister…a-arigatou…" The brunette smiled and told the little girl to stay put. Doing what she was told, she held her ground and not a minute too soon, the brunette returned with a vanilla flavored ice cream! "Here you go!" he cheerfully said and handed over the ice cream.
The young girl gladly accepted the ice cream that was given to her by a mere stranger. "Hey thanks mister!" she said with a smile, completely forgetting about her injury. The brunette looked at his wrist watch to look at the time when he felt someone watching him. He quickly assisted the young girl to sit on a bench and left her with a small smile.
When he was a little far away, his eyes widened when he suddenly remembered some rather odd things. They were memories…but whose?
"WWWAAAHHHH!" wailed a young girl with a bruised knee at the sidewalk. Tsuna and a silverette were on their way home. The two saw the girl and decided to help the poor kid. - hesitated at first but ten gave up when he saw the desperation in the eyes of the brunette…
…"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….
…"Ehem! We found a cute girl with cute pom-poms on her hair and a cute voice, in a cute pink dress." - recited…
...
…Tsuna grinned at the person beside him, "Now that wasn't too hard right?" the silver haired chuckled, "Yeah right…You weren't the one who recited that idiot's mothers' words of 'cute' about her daughter…"
Tsuna pouted and punched - 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…
Tsuna clenched his eyes and covered his ears like protecting them from the terrible noises outside. 'They were memories of..me? And who was that person with me? WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?' the brunette practically shouted in his head. But knew that he wouldn't get anywhere if he just stayed there, so he went on his way.
Along the way, Tsuna managed to get to the right direction without getting lost, much to his pleasure. 'I guess Reborn's training is finally paying off…' the brunette sighed in relief. Not too far from where he was standing, he saw someone carrying what looks like heavy baggage. And being a kind person he was, he decided to help out. He greeted the man who looked like in his 40s and helped his carry the boxes.
"Hahaha! Thank you very much young man!" the shop-owner replied with a grin. The brunette was about to excuse himself when he realized that it has been a long time since he ate sushi so he decided to eat there for lunch. The owner smiled at him and continued to serve the teen saying that it was his appreciation gift.
The teen happily ate some sushi and deep inside, he was jumping up and down from glee. Of course he won't do that there. Who knows what would happen when Reborn finds out right?
Tsuna waved goodbye to the owner whose name was actually Yamamoto Tsuyoshi. And the name of the shop was 'Takesushi'. The brunette sweat dropped, 'What kind of a store would have a weird name like that?' Tsuna just shrugged it off and continued his way. But not before long, he saw another teen probably around his age, was tall, has short spiky black hair and most likely the son of the shop Takesushi.
How could he tell? Easy! Their appearance was almost the same and the owner did tell him about having a some about his age that loves baseball. Tsuna's H.I. (Hyper Intuition) was telling him to walk fast and escape the teen if he didn't want to be bombed with questions. And since the brunette was in a hurry, he quickly followed his H.I. and managed to escape the black-haired teen…
"So -, when's the big game?" the brunette asked the black-haired teen . The teen laughed, "It's on Wednesday, Tsuna." When the brunette heard this, he saddened. The baseball teen seemed to notice this so he asked the brunette what was bothering him. Tsuna looked at the taller teen and bowed while saying his 'sorry'.
The taller teen was taken aback. He had no idea why the brunette was apologizing and what for. Did he do something wrong? "T-Tsuna?"
"I'm so sorry -!"
"I don't understand. What for? Why are you apologizing?"
"W-Well…y-you see…"
And the brunette told the baseball star that he was going training with Reborn at that day. - laughed, "You don't need to apologize because of that Tsuna! I know you're always cheering us on!"
Tsuna put on a confused look, " Us? What do you mean?"
- patted Tsuna's head and grinned, "You are always there for me and the others aren't you. You fight to protect us. And for that, we owe you. Big time Tsuna. So…Thank you nee, Tsuna!"
The brunette's eyes widened. Another flashback? He was getting more and more confused and decided to go along the road where his H.I. was leading him. And not soon after, he ended up in front of a somewhat familiar school…Namimori Chuu…
Tsuna stopped for a bit and glanced at the school. It looks to him that school just ended a while ago. The brunette could tell that the school was obviously big and can contain many different clubs.
"SAWADA! COME JOIN THE BOXING CLUB TO THE EXTREME!"
Was he hallucinating? Tsuna looked around but saw nobody there except for falling leaves. Yup. These leaves came from the trees inside the school. It wasn't as big as his school in Italy but something about that school attracted him to it. It was as if this was his school! Tsuna sighed. No. That was impossible. He was in Italy and this was Japan. As far as his memories serves him right, he didn't enter any school in Japan… except for kindergarten…
Tsuna then felt something coming from the window. What happened next surprised him. He saw another teen around his age staring down at him. No. Scratch that. That said teen was GLARING at him! Tsuna panicked in his mind. He tried to recall if he did something bad to the said teen but found that he has no memory of ever meeting him.
It took the brunette some time before he felt another presence behind him. He turned to look at his watch and saw that it would be best if he leaves now. He quickly turned and saw someone with white hair staring at him with surprised eyes. 'What? Do I have something on my face?' the brunette thought as he quickly walked away and headed for the destined place.
Some students were already running their fastest to get to school since they knew what would happen if they don't get there in time. When the teen was about to close the gates, a certain brunette entered the gates just in time for classes. The brunette sighed in relief, "Wah! I made it just in time!"
"Herbivore…" came a deadly voice. The said brunette turned around to see the fearsome -. "HHIIIIEEE! -san! I-I'm so sorry! Please don't bite me to death!" he apologized as he ran away from the prefect of their school. - scoffed, 'Pathetic herbivore…'
"EXTREME!"
"Uh…Huh?"
"Onii-chan! I want you to meet Tsuna-kun. He's a classmate of mine and he saved me from Mochida earlier!"
"H-Hello…Uhm…M-My name is S-Sawada T-T-Tsuna…yoshi…"
"EXTREME THANKS!" the boxer shouted as he gave the poor petite brunette a squeezing death hug.
"I-It's a-alr-right -…san…"
"Oni-chan! Mou! You're suffocating Tsuna-kun!"
"EXTREME SORRY!" the bower said sheepishly with a grin on his face.
"I-It's ok -"
"Call me onii-chan from now on to the EXTREME!"
*cue sweat drop* "H-Hai…eto…O-Onii-san…"
Tsuna groaned in pain. Those people…he'd met them… The young Decimo was almost at the entrance of Namimori Shopping district when he saw a female, maybe younger that him by a year, walking towards him. She was humming a tune with a shy smile on her face. He then felt something about her that he felt towards the ones he had passed by earlier. Longing. He was longing for them.
But for some reason, his Hyper Intuition was telling him to pass by her and disappear…fast… And since his H.I. never failed him, he followed it and quickly passed by her like a normal person who was in a hurry to get to somewhere. When he passed by her, he quickly turned at a corner to hide himself from her view. And just in time too since he saw her look behind her. He saw her shrugged it off and walked away.
He sighed at relief and as he expected, another vision then showed itself at him…
The female looked at him and saw him escape his HDWM (Hyper Dying Will Mode). "B-Bossu…" she uttered softly, blushing shyly. The brunette seemed to have felt her uneasiness so he decides to just get to the point of why he was there at Kokuyo Land.
"Dame-Tsuna. Just go and give it to her already!" the sun arcobaleno ordered his student as he kicked him at the head. Tsuna wined as usual at how Reborn was soon going to be the reason he'll have brain damage. A sigh escaped his mouth but also did what the arcobaleno said.
He stepped forward and showed the confused female what he was carrying. It was a picnic basket with an 'obento' inside. She saw the young boss smile oh-so-sweetly at her. "Here. I thought you might try these. -chan, - and okaa-san were the ones who made that. You could also share them with the other 2."
- smiled and blushed at the action. "T-Thank y-you b-bossu…"
Tsuna was taken a back at this particular vision/memory. Reborn was there. Why? Does Reborn know them? What was the arcobaleno hiding? These were the questions that bothered the young boss. He was still in deep thought while walking towards his meeting destination. Namimori Shopping District.
"Tsunayoshi-san. You finally made it," the voice called out snapping the brunette out of his deep thinking. The brunette smiled at the person he was seeing. He was the only person he ever told about his weird dreams and his feelings since he trusted that person to keep it as a secret.
"Hello. It's been a while hasn't it, Fong-san?"
