Chapter 2

Sasagawa Ryohei was running around Namimori, training for an upcoming boxing match. He ran into the school to get his boxing gloves he forgot in his desk when he felt that something was wrong.

Shrugging, Ryohei kept running and ran to his classroom. He banged open the door to his class not taking note that it used to be locked. He jogged over to his desk and took out the gloves.

When he was going to turn around to leave, he heard a whimper from the middle of the room by the bulk of the desks. Going over he recognized the person as Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"SAWADA, WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING HERE TO THE EXTREME?!" Ryohei asked/shouted at the kohai. Tsuna jerked out of his sleep and coughed a little violently.

"I-It's nothing really. I just h-had a panic attack." Tsuna muttered as he got up rubbing his chest over his heart.

"THEN YOU SHOULD GO TO THE INFIRMARY TO THE EXTREME!" The boxer pumped his fist in the air and grabbed Tsuna's wrist to drag him to infirmary.

"A-Ah, it's fine really. I'll just go home." The brunette said to deaf ears as he was dragged forcefully to the infirmary. The nurse was just about to leave when the two came down the hall.

"Mrs. Mattinson, please look after Sawada TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei said as he dragged in the struggling brunette.

Tsuna didn't want to be there at the moment, he had better things to do, and he could take care of his panic attack by himself. He had done it before. Of course it was never this bad but he would just sleep it off and he would be fine the next day.

He also didn't want his dad to know. If he knew, then he would have to go to Italy and get something done to him. It was really painful and he hated it. They did this sort of prayer and put a dab of oil on his forehead. He was sick and sore for the next week after they do that, he also couldn't move without getting nauseous.

So he struggled more. "I'm fine! It was nothing but a panic attack. I'm awake now and there's no need to look after me." Tsuna said as he tried in vain to get out of the infirmary.

"Sawada, please. Let me at least take your temperature and vital signs. It's good to check these after a panic attack since you never know what could happen." The nurse said calmly. She took Tsuna's other wrist and guided him to a bed.

"Have you had panic attacks before?"

"Yes, it was nothing major. I just hyperventilated for a couple minutes. My dad calmed me down but I had to stay with him for the rest of the day out of nervousness." Tsuna calmly replied as he let her take his vitals and stuff.

"Do you have them a lot?"

"I used to, I have a weak heart so when I was little, everybody tried to scare me. I had a panic attack a lot of the time so I was pulled out of that school. After a while, the other kids at my new school figured out so it happened all over again. It's gotten better over time but I have them from time to time."

There was a look of something akin to pity in their the nurse and Ryohei's eyes. Tsuna hated that look because it always felt like he was being pitied and babied instead of actually dealt with. He hated it, it was fine with his dad since he loved him so much. But coming from people he barely knew? It was beyond annoying to him.

The nurse straightened up and smiled. "Well, Sawada. You look fit already. It would be good to go to sleep and drink a lot of fluids though. But I hope you already know that. If that's all, I will be leaving first. I hope you two have a safe trip home." The nurse left, closing the door behind her and left the two students alone.

"Sawada, do you extremely feel okay?!" The boxer asked as he sat beside Tsuna on the bed.

"I'm fine. If I just take a couple of my pills then I'll be fine." Tsuna answered as he buttoned his shirt back up. He had unbuttoned it so the nurse could hear him breath better. After he buttoned it he reached for his bag beside him to retrieve a bottle of water and a case of yellowish pills.

"Why do you need pills to the extreme?"

"Because my heart is weak. If I get scared or my heart is a little too fast, then I need to take them before I pass out. I couldn't earlier though because it hurt too much and I was scared." Tsuna opened the container and popped two pills into his mouth, washing them down with the bottle of water.

"I see. Shouldn't you have special care too the extreme? It's only natural to have extra care since you're a special case."

"My dad tried to do that but I convinced him not to. I don't want people to make fun of me with people always around and attending to me. It would get annoying after a while." Tsuna shrugged as he stood up. "I better go home. Thank you for helping me."

"You're extremely welcome, Sawada!" Ryohei jumped up and fist pump the air. He jogged passed Tsuna on the way out and gave one last smile before leaving. Tsuna waved at the boxer's back as he jogged down the hall.

Sighing, Tsuna went to leave the school. Before he took a step out of the gate though, he felt a sharp pain that was so intense that he had to drop to the ground and hold his head in his hands. His bag slipped out of his hands onto the ground as he tried and failed to stand up to continue home.

"Tsunayoshi, do you really think you can suppress me with those pills of yours?" A voice was heard, confusing Tsuna as he looked carefully around for anyone. No one he could see was around in ear shot of him.

"W-Who are you?" He asked as he used the wall to support him up.

"I am you, of course you already know that. But that father of yours seems to not want me around. Say, Tsunayoshi. What do you want?" The voice asked coaxingly.

Tsuna was tempted to say he wanted him to stay, but another rational part of him told him that this wasn't a good thing. So instead of giving into temptation, he firmly held his head high and said, "No. I don't want you here. Please leave."

A fresh wave of pain, worse then before, had him almost throwing up his lunch. His head felt like it was about to burst.

"Do you want the pain to stop? Because I can stop it for you. If you just give in to me and say yes." It felt like somebody was breathing on his ear, almost whispering into it as the voice almost swayed him. But no, he was going to stay strong.

"I can handle the pain. It'll go away soon enough. I just have to endure it until it subsides." Tsuna grunted as he staggered to his feet once more and started using the wall as support in his way home. He used his bag to remind himself that he was still here in the living.

His way home was a hazard. He almost tripped close to forty times and by the time he made it home, his palms were torn and bloody from him having to catch himself from falling so many times. He made it though and when he walked into his home, he almost collapsed right there.

But no, he needed to phone his father and tell him what had happened. He also needed something for his headache to make his suffering at least bearable. On the way home it seemed that the voice was purposefully making it hard for him to walk from the sagging pain in his head in retaliation.

He made it to the kitchen where the Aspirin was kept and he took two for good measures. After he dry swallowed them, he staggered over to the phone where his father's number was first on the list.

He picked up on the first ring. "Hello, Giotto Sawada speaking."

"D-Dad, something happened and I can hear a voice telling me to give in to it. Help me." Tsuna said trying to control the pain in his voice. Another wave of pain was overtaking him and he couldn't stop the groan of pain.

"Tsuna? What did it say? Is it giving you a headache because you refused it?" His father seemed to be looking through papers for something. He was talking to someone in Italian as he was searching.

"It...It said that it could make the pain go away. That you didn't want him and then he asked me what I wanted."

"Did you take anything for your headache? An Aspirin?"

"Yes, I took two just in case because it's really bad now. I'm barely able to talk to you now." Tsuna slid down the wall he was leaning against and his legs were splayed beside him.

"Alright, they might work since you took two. Since you didn't agree, he's upset about it. Try to resist it as long as you can. I'm coming home right now so I'll see you as soon as I can. Alright?"

"Y-Yes, but hurry. I don't think it'll be long before I do something stupid." Tsuna could hear his father's slight chuckle at that.

"I'm bringing one of my friends home. His name is Knuckles. He'll be able to help. I'll be there soon so try your absolute hardest to fight it."

"A-Alright. I'll see you soon. And Dad?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Oh god I feel proud of myself, four in one I think it's good just leaving it here. Soon we get to see what will happen when Tsuna's other side is unleashed.

Hopefully it's good.
