Tsuna heard Hibari leave soon after he explained what happened to him. Apparently, when he was shot by Byakuran, he was sent ten years to the future, Hibari was the one to find him, and his father was killed by Byakuran too. That was a nice surprise to wake up to.

"Why do you sound so pathetic?" Tsunayoshi asked at the back of his mind.

"Shut up." Tsuna growled as he closed his eyes. He distantly heard the clatter of dress shoes walking by the door when he talked and hoped nobody came in.

"There's no need to taunt the boy." Tsu-kun muttered. There seemed to be a barrier between the three with Tsu-kun on the right side, Tsunayoshi on the left, and Tsuna in the middle listening to them.

"Don't tell me what to do. I still kicked your ass." Tsunayoshi spat, as he seemed to be looking over at Tsu-kun.

"Can both of you just shut up?" Tsuna suddenly burst out, accidentally saying it out loud.

"Tsu-kun?" Somebody asked beside him.

He jerked his head over and saw one of his classmates, Sasagawa Kyoko he remembered, looking at him curiously. He felt his friendlier subconscious step forward and he growled for it to go away.

"Hello Kyoko-chan." Tsuna said with a forced smile and tone of happiness. "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same. You're a lot younger than I remember. Did something happen when you were hurt?" Kyoko asked as she pulled up a chair beside Tsuna.

Tsuna hesitated before answering. "I was hurt when I was fighting Byakuran. I think my dad might be worried though. I've been here longer than I should be."

Kyoko nodded in understanding. "Do you know what your dad did to you?"

Tsuna was confused for a minute before understanding. "You mean the praying thing they did?"

Kyoko nodded. "Yes, you do know why they did it, right?"

"Because I had two other personalities. They would clash a lot so I guess it was to help me avoid breaking. Right?" Tsuna looked at Kyoko and saw that she was biting at her bottom lip. "You're not telling me something."

"Well, Tsu-kun…Your personalities are actually not something you want to deal with."

Tsuna looked at her in confusion, not getting what she was saying. Kyoko seemed to be having a hard time explaining what she meant. She didn't get to finish though because Yamamoto entered, whispering something in her ear.

"Ah, well Tsu-kun, I have to go now. It was nice seeing you." Kyoko waved before practically sprinting out of the room.

Tsuna huffed angrily as he watched her leave, upset that she didn't tell him what she meant. Yamamoto got into his line of vision though and he flinched back as he had no idea why he was there.

"Hey Tsuna, thought I'd say hi before Hayato came back from the recon mission. How're you doing?" Yamamoto asked happily, as he sat where Kyoko did seconds before.

"Hello Yamamoto-san." Tsuna said quietly.

Yamamoto laughed as he realised what happened. "Ah, right. You haven't met me yet. You will in a few weeks."

"Oh, um, okay." Tsuna said in the same quiet way. He was nervous because he had never talked to him before. Or anybody really, only Kyoko and Hanna because he needed help and they were the most likely to help him. He looked up suddenly though as he needed to know what Kyoko was going to tell him. "Yamamoto-san, what was Kyoko-chan going to tell me?"

Yamamoto froze when Tsuna asked that question and plastered a fake smile onto his face. "Eh, oh it's probably nothing. She talks a lot like that so you never know what she's talking about sometimes with her friends. They seem to be able to keep up though. Don't worry about it, if it was about your other two personalities, that's a story for another time. Ask your dad when you get back to your own time if you still want to know."

Tsuna knew that Yamamoto was lying. Tsu-kun just sighed at Yamamoto's answer. "You could always ask us."

"I'm not asking you guys. You'll start fighting with each other over who's right and who's wrong." Tsuna said harshly. He once again said it out loud and Yamamoto blinked in surprise.

"Touchy." Tsunayoshi imputed, making Tsuna want to smash his head off of a wall.

"I wonder why?" Tsuna muttered sarcastically.

"There's no harm in asking. I would not lie to you, I don't know about Tsunayoshi though." Tsu-kun said, Tsuna felt the irritation rolling off of Tsunayoshi.

"Don't speak for me. I would never lie to Tsuna either. Unlike some people I know."

"Both of you please shut up." Tsuna said in a stage whisper, rubbing at his temples in an attempt to stop the growing head ache. "I don't have the patience to deal with your bickering."

"Don't boss me around Tsuna." Tsunayoshi spat out. He was always the rebellious one of the three.

"I hate agreeing with that one but, you really can't boss us around." Tsunayoshi made a disgusted sound as Tsu-kun said it. "Don't kid yourself."

"I'm not, dumbass."

"Like you have much say in anything I do." Tsuna muttered as he pulled his knees up to his chest. He ignored the pain in his abdomen when he moved. "I can always ask Knuckles to perform the prayer thing-y again. Then, the both of you will be sealed."

"I dare you."


Tsuna was asleep for four hours before he woke up again.

He blinked awake, confusion at being in his old room seizing his thoughts. He knew somebody was beside him, but he didn't know why they were running their hand through his hair. He was ridiculously confused.

A soft humming surfaced next and he recognized it as his father. He felt tears prick his eyes as his father had died a few months ago on an assassination attempt on him. His father got in the way and fought for Tsuna, who had to always hold back in case he unleashed his two personalities. Giotto died from a stab wound to his abdomen.

Tsuna let his head look over and saw that Giotto was watching him carefully, looking for signs of Tsuna going to attack. When he noticed that Tsuna was looking at him, he smiled, and scratched Tsuna's scalp lightly.

"Hey, dad." Tsuna said in a small voice, cracking around the edges from grief.

"Hey, Tsuna...I remember when you were little, you would trip over everything. Now I get to watch you fight against somebody much stronger than you without even flinching thanks to your other personality." Giotto said, voice filled with pride for his only son.

"I wasn't that clumsy." Tsuna argued back weakly. Giotto just laughed and continued to run his hands through his son's hair. "It nice to see you again."

The hands paused before resuming again. "What do you mean it's nice to see me?"

"I can't say. It would create a paradox. It's kind of hard not to create one of them so we need to avoid asking about the future." Tsuna said as he nudged a little into Giotto's hand, a silent comment that he enjoyed it. He felt the ring rubbed into his temple and he froze.

Tsuna shifted his left hand underneath the blanket where it was previously partially viewable. His rings weren't something in this time and Giotto couldn't know since Tsuna didn't want a paradox happening. But Giotto had already seen when Tsuna had passed out in Kokuyo land. He covered them with his hand so nobody else would see but it was still a burning question who Tsuna married in Giotto's mind.

"It's fine that you can't say. But can you answer me one question?"

"Maybe."

"Who did you marry?"

Tsuna snapped his head over, a tint of pink on his cheeks. "How did you know it was a wedding ring?"

Giotto chuckled as he balanced his arm on his bent knee. "I can tell because it looks like your mother's. I don't know why you have one that looks like hers though since you are a guy."

Tsuna laughed nervously before he looked away in embarrassment. "You probably already know him."

"Hmm? Mind giving me a name?"

Tsuna just shook his head. Giotto sighed as he knew Tsuna could be stubborn if he didn't want to say anything. "Tsuna, why are you hurt?"

"Byakuran. He's reeking havoc in the future. I suppose you already know this though." Tsuna answered as he closed his eyes, letting his head drop onto the side. Tsuna felt tired all of a sudden and Giotto noticed.

"Yes. Aria told me that much. When I asked what else she became pale and just shook her head. Why did you want me to go to her though, Tsuna?"

"Did you see Yuni?" Tsuna asked in a soft voice that seemed terrified of the answer.

"Yes, I did. She came in and greeted me when I was about to leave. Why?"

"Is Aria-san still well?"

"Yes, I know that she only has a year at the max left though." Giotto's voice seemed old and haggard as he said this.

"I agree. But did Aria tell you anything else when you asked her about the future?" Tsuna looked over at Giotto with eyes that held an emotion Giotto couldn't place.

"She said...That you would suffer a great trial soon."

Tsuna seemed to smile as that was the answer he was looking for. He nodded before he fell back asleep, his father's hand running through his hair once again.


"Pick up the damn phone." Somebody muttered. There was an underline of impatience and demand in the voice. When the phone clicked and the gruff voice of G came through the line, the man smirked in triumph.

"What do you want?" G asked as he held the phone between his ear and shoulder, writing with his hands.

"I need the address to the Sawada's. Giotto seemed to forget to give it to me." The man answered as he switched the phone to his left ear.

"And might I ask who's calling?" G growled into the phone with the same rough voice.

The man smirked as he dodged around somebody. He was currently making his way through the airport closest to Namimori to a car that was waiting for him. As he stated his name, he knew that G recognized him. "Reborn."


*screeches*

Almost a month with no update. I'm sorry! As some might already have guessed, the massive one-shot I did took up most of my time for over a month. I'm so not sorry.

But I decided that I should update all of my stories before typing up any more of the one-shots I have trapped in my binder, or partially done in Doc Manager. So I'll be working as much as I can over the next few days to update everything.
