Chapter 35: Remember

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?"

((Present time…))

Tsuna and Fong were currently drinking their own favourite drinks. Tea for Fong and Milk Coffee for Tsuna. After they met up, the two decided to take a sit and chat since they hadn't met up in person for a while. Sure they were able to talk on the phone, but nobody knows when someone might be eavesdropping.

"So Tsuna-san…How is Italy these days?" Fong asked as he took a sip of his favourite Japanese tea.

Tsuna smiled, "It's nice there. But compared to Italy, I prefer Japan anytime!"

"And? Reborn's still hard on you and your guardians?"

"Hell yes! He trains us every painful day without rest! And when we sleep, he'll randomly choose a target and whack that person every once in a while in the middle of the freaking night! I swear he's a baby from hell!" Tsuna whined like a kid complaining about a bully. Fong chuckled.

"I think he only does that to prepare you for the future, Tsuna-san…" Fong comforted the brunette with a warm smile.

Tsuna tried to smile back but sighed, "I know but…Arg! Never mind Reborn…I'll deal with him somehow…"

Fong, having sensed what the brunette meant, voiced out his advice, "If you're planning to take his beloved espresso, then I advise you to prepare yourself. It isn't pretty every time someone tries to separate him and his espresso."

"Oh? And you've seen him like that?" Tsuna questioned, chuckling.

Fong chuckled along with the brunette, "Why yes~! It was before we got into this form. Viper-no I mean-Mammon and Verde where having their own gig and decided to prank Reborn with stealing his beloved espresso. When Luche, Lal and I saw this, we immediately went to hide ourselves."

"But," he added, "when I hid myself, I could still see what happened. I saw Reborn take his gun out and began to shoot the two non-stop. He was releasing his deadly aura for the first time. It was actually amusing on how he punished the two."

Tsuna could do nothing but sweat drop, "A…ha…ha…ha….You sure are a mystery Fong-san. Now I wondering who's scarier: you or Reborn…"

"So Decimo…"

"Yes, Fong-san?"

"Have you answered any of the hearts that the girls in Italy gladly offered to you, knowing you are Decimo of Vongola or not?"

"*blush* N-No way!"

The two continued these kinds of conversations until the two got serious with each other. Fong was the first on to react, "So Decimo…What idea is running inside your head right now?"

Tsuna smiled at him, a calculating smile at that. "I found something…bothering…" he said in a sad tone.

Fong raised a brow, "Oh? What would it be?"

The brunette shook his head and placed a finger on his lips, "It's a secret~! But…" Tsuna turned back to being serious, "…It was held away from me…Reborn and my other guardians…They are hiding something from me. It scares me that I'm right…"

"And what does your Hyper Intuition tells you right now Decimo?" the storm arcobaleno asked.

Tsuna showed a saddened face, "It says that I'm right…"

((The following day…Namimori Park…))

"Teme…The others are late! Where the hell are they?"

"Maa, maa~ You should calm down Gokudera-kun. I'm sure they'll be here soon!"

The ex-storm and the ex-rain are currently waiting for the rest of their companions to arrive. They already know that the prefect was there with them in the shadows. The only ones that they were waiting was the ex-mist guardian together with the ex-lightning guardian, and the sun guardian.

"EEXXTTRREEMMEEEEEEEE!"

"Bwahahaha! Lambo-sama is supreme!"

"…"

Finally, the three ex-guardians were spotted not too far from where the other three ex-guardians were waiting. Gokudera was impatiently tapping his foot on the ground. Yamamoto was grinning like no tomorrow. Hibari was just patiently napping on top of a tree branch with Hibird on his head.

"Oi! What took you all so long!"

"OCTOPUS-HEAD! DON'T SHOUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY TO THE EXTREME!" (A/N: Like you're in the position to say that…)

"Maa, maa~ At least everyone managed to get here right?"

"Uhm…"

Everyone looked at the shy illusionist who as though was trying to say something. "Hm? What is it Chrome?" Yamamoto asked with a warm smile. Chrome took every ounce of courage she had as she spoke aloud, "D-Did you hear any news a-about Bossu yet, Yamamoto-san?"

Yamamoto frowned but smiled, "No. Not yet but don't worry about it!"

"AH! SPEAKING ABOUT SAWADA, I THOUGHT I EXTREMELY SAW HIM YESTERDAY!" Ryohei shouted at the top of his lungs.

The other guardians' head's snapped up as they heard this. "Hhm. Now that you mention it….a herbivore was at the school gates yesterday…and he looks exactly that herbivore."

"Wha-? Y-You did? Ahahaha! What a coincidence! It seems that you also saw him, sempai? Hibari?" the baseball player asked.

"Uhm…y-you mean… a guy with brown hair and wearing an orange shirt with a blue vest?" Chrome questioned them just making sure that who they saw yesterday was the same guy they were talking about.

"Tsk. So you also saw him, Dokuro?" Gokudera thought for a moment before he was snapped out of his state when he felt a strong presence not too far from them.

Hibari was the first one to react. He pulled out his newly polished silver tonfas and you could immediately feel him releasing his deadly aura. "Someone's messing in Namimori Temple. I'll bite that person to death…" he proclaimed as he went on his way.

The other ex-guardians that heard of this looked at each other and nodded as if they understood what the other was thinking. Yamamoto smiled and placed his arms at the back of his shoulders in a carefree way.

Ryohei shouted an 'EXTREME!' before he followed too.

Chrome silently 'Uhm!' started walking with the others.

Gokudera smirked and lit his storm flame, "Let the hunting begin…"

((Earlier that time with Tsuna…))

Tsunayoshi Sawada woke up from his peaceful slumber in an apartment he rented out thanks to the storm arcobaleno's little assistance. He walked to the bathroom to change his clothes and then brushed his teeth. He looked himself in the mirror.

Today was the day of the storm's arcobaleno was going to introduce some people to him. The people in his dreams…

/.../.../.../

((Flashback…))

"So Tsuna-san…what is the real reason you decide to be here? I want to be of help to you," Fong told the young boss with desperation in his voice.

Tsuna didn't answer for a few seconds. But then again, he could trust the storm arcobaleno. He sighed and nodded. Might as well tell him right?

"Here's the thing Fong-san…" Tsuna took out the same picture he'd shown Reborn and the rest of his guardians back at Italy, "…I want to ask you the same question I asked every single guardian I have and Reborn."

Fong raised a brow, not looking at the picture, "And that is?"

Tsuna raised the picture, "I want to know who these people are."

Fong looked at the picture and his eyes widened. Tsuna saw this and sighed in his mind. This was the same reaction he got to everyone else. He was sure as hell that the said arcobaleno would try to evade his question or just brush it off.

"Why would you want to know, young Decimo?"

Tsuna snapped up at this. He wasn't expecting this at all! "U-Uhm…I…" Tsuna took a deep breath and started his story. "It all started a month and a few weeks ago. When I was just being my curious self, a thought came to me and I decided to follow it. Go to the forbidden room."

"You actually went there? Reborn must've been pissed…" Fong commented at what the brunette told him. And that was not even the big news yet!

"As I was saying," the brunette continued, "When I went there, something caught my eye and saw this with other pictures of individuals I recently dream of."

The storm arcobaleno was taken aback at this statement.

"The confused look you are giving me tells me that I haven't told you yet. I recently dreamnt about these…people for a few nights. And I could see myself as the third person or I was there myself. When I could see myself, I can tell that I was happy being with them. When I was there myself…It felt…warm…like they are someone I once knew, but now forgotten…"

"So that is why you want to find these people? Because they are some-how or just maybe they are related to you in any possible way?" Fong asked the young boss in front of him.

The brunette nodded with a stern face, "Yes."

"But why here? Why Japan? Why Namimori?"

Tsuna shrugged, "When I saw these pictures, my intuition began to go crazy telling me to go to Namimori, Japan. And that's how I decided to go here."

"And why, could I ask, that you decided to go here alone?" Fong questioned, showing that he was really interested in their conversation.

"That's because if I bring any one with me, they'll report back to whoever and that whoever might even tell my Spartan tutor. By the time I take my next step, Reborn would be pointing his gun at me," Tsuna answered.

Fong sighed and looked at the brunette with a sign of defeat. Tsuna saw this and raised a brow. He didn't know why the storm arcobaleno was doing this act. "Meet me at Namimori Temple tomorrow. 10 am sharp. I'll introduce you to some people I know."

Tsuna took a minute to let the information sink in. "Wait! Do you know th-!" but before he could say anymore, the storm arcobaleno was gone…

((Flashback end…))
