Chapter 15: Choice
Reader's POV
''What!?'' Tsuna's voice cracked at the pitch he was using and he stood up at the count of a millisecond, the chair pushed behind and abandoned with a screech.
''Are they okay? Especially Lambo! He's only 5! Why did he have to go through all this…'' Tsuna's face grew a few more wrinkles and had eyes that looked like they had seen the world ended and he was the one who witnessed everything. He squeezed his fingers painfully into Gokudera's shoulders. Tsuna looked down at the floor, unaware of the shoulder injury Gokudera suffered. Gokudera resisted the urge to pull away with great effort.
''Mukuro actually helped us escape,'' Gokudera's face was comically irritated when he said that, his voice shaking. ''And Hibari went charging off at the enemy in a pissed off mood, so I doubt the enemy can actually live to see tomorrow...''
Tsuna's weight in his heart lighten considerably, but some parts were still intact and safe.
''Well, it's Hibari-san after all.'' Tsuna said with a little pride swelling within him. ''No that's not the point here! Is everyone okay?''
''I guess? We are all separated, but they should be fine. I'm with the stupid cow and I-Pin since they were the first people I could grab while running away.''
Gokudera bit his bottom lip.
''I'm sorry I have failed you as your right hand man!'' Gokudera dived his forehead into the floor, shocking everyone present, kneeing down to the person he respected the most. ''I can only run away with my tail between my le-''
''No, Gokudera.'' Tsuna reprimanded sternly. ''If you had went back, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the fireworks together, isn't that right? I have told you before. What's more important is your life, not your pride. Please Gokudera-kun.''
''Juudaime…'' Gokudera looked up and said, touched and tears of joy brimming full in his emerald eyes.
Tsuna smiled, satisfied.
''Reborn was saying that we should use Giannini time machine to find you so th-'' Gokudera continued explaining as he stood up.
''Wait, what? How did you guys know I was in the past?''
''Vongola Primo told us.'' Gokudera said and looked at the gold-haired bystander pointedly.
''Huh? Me? What?'' And suddenly everyone's eyes were trained on Giotto. Giotto felt like a little rabbit encircled by a pack of wild wolves. Giotto's Adam Apple bobbed up and down and broke out in cold sweat. ''I don't know?!''
''You bastard! You kidnapped Juudaime and you don't know!?'' Gokudera shouted impiously, raised his fist menacingly, and took a right leg forward. His crankiness was reaching its maximum point and he needed to vent it out, get it out of his system…
''No Gokudera-kun!'' Tsuna shouted tiredly.
''Huh? When did I kidnap Tsuna!? Why would I kidnap him for?'' Giotto retorted logically and indignantly at the accusation pointed at him.
''Gokudera-san, he really doesn't know.'' Sepira suddenly appeared out of thin air as always and put out a delicate hand to pull Gokudera's fist back. Sepira may look as weak as how her fragile and petite body presented, but she was strong as a bull to be able to stop Gokudera.
''Who the hell are you?'' Gokudera asked with a none-too-polite tone.
''I'm a girl of course,'' Sepira replied with a scathingly sweet smile.
''Bastard…'' Gokudera muttered, finding it hard to fight down the ballistic creature in him. What's barely keeping him at bay was Tsuna's hands desperately dragging him backwards with every step he took forward.
''Calm down, Gokudera!'' Tsuna beseeched, his hands growing weary from the strength executed to bind Gokudera who was raging mad on his period down.
Gokudera took a deep breath. What did the anger management course he was forced to go told him to do at times like this? Oh yeah. Suck it in. Hold it in. Swallow it down. Gone like the wind.
''Juudaime, please return to the future! We need you.'' Gokudera's calm attention once again returned to Tsuna again.
''Return to the future?'' The others shouted in unison, a look of utter disbelief crossing their face.
''Return?'' Tsuna stuttered on his words, almost biting his tongue. ''To the future?''
He could return to the future.
He felt his heart flutter.
But there was this invisible boulder on his chest Tsuna didn't notice before. It felt suffocating, breathless, compacted.
Nobody saw the dark look of horror crossed Giotto's face.
''If he did, the pact he made with the God of Time would be broken because he hadn't fulfil his purpose here.'' Sepira said in a much hesitant and unwilling tone.
''Purpose?'' Tsuna quested.
''To prevent… '' A dramatic hiatus here as Sepira took a deep breath. And drum rolls please. ''To prevent the past Vongola family from its predicted destruction.''
''What? Destruction? Sepira what are you saying!'' Giotto shouted, without twisting his facial expressions too much at the shock.
''I remembered!'' Tsuna's eyes widen to an impossible size, the glow of epiphany evident in them. ''How I came to the past! I light my ring at the Vongola emblem-''
''And that would be the Time Tunnel.'' Sepira cut in.
''-And then I saw Giotto right before I travelled here.'' Tsuna continued.
''Me-'' Giotto started, attempting to prove he didn't.
''Older version.'' Tsuna added.
''Oh.'' Giotto blinked like an owl, before it sunk in.
''And he told us that Juudaime would be helping the Primo Family and disappeared.'' Gokudera finished.
''What?'' Giotto barely registered anything being thrown at him in such huge piles of information. His brain should had been used to processing complex information like this, but today it seemed to have turn rusty and old. Everything had seemed so absurd, it's almost impossible they even happened. He was the one who dragged Tsuna here, made him abandoned his family (something like that anyway), just to save him and his family?
What absurdne-?
''I will return.'' Tsuna said in a low, throaty voice, like he just swallowed a pack of gravel down. ''My friends are waiting for me. I must go.'' He almost spit the last three words out.
''Juudaime!'' Gokudera said, hugely relieved.
''But, he wouldn't be able to return here anymore.'' Sepira said gently, almost inaudible if not for the dead silence that had followed Tsuna's claim.
''!'' Tsuna's face darken and his eyes flickered, his resolve wavering and balancing on a rocky steep cliff. ''I… .I…'' Tsuna stupidly repeated himself without knowing how to continue on, not knowing what he would have said if he continued, not knowing what he would have done if he had said it, not knowing what he wanted to say.
''It's okay, Tsuna. We can handle things here by ourselves.'' Giotto put on a smile, his eyes curving into two little beams.
I hope it didn't look too fake. I'm really not too good at this.
''But-!'' Tsuna tried to bicker, obviously noticing the plastic smile on Giotto's face nobody else can see but the blond in question cut him short.
''You don't belong here, Tsuna.'' Giotto pinched his little finger hidden in his pocket and a sharp pain ached from his finger which was finally able to rid his brain of their rust like hydrochloric acid can do to get them to work properly again.
''You belong to the future, your friends are waiting for you!'' Giotto emphasised on the word 'friends' as he continued. He pinched on his finger harder, now attacking the ring finger as well. His little finger was getting numb already and turned a sickeningly white.
Please… Don't go!
''Giotto! But, I-!''
Tsuna's eyes streamed with crystal-clear tears which fall freely to the floor, sniffing and just let his face contort into an undignified sob.
Giotto looked at Tsuna's hand placed by his slender form which was just within his reach.
If he reached out, he could stop him.
Right here, right now.
Can I be selfish although I think I always had been, if I say I want you to stay here?
Grab him!
Giotto's heart was yelling at him, trying to overpower his brain's calm and logical waves with erratic waves of selfishness and emotions.
Hurry! Before it's too late! His heart screamed their insides out at him.
Gokudera held onto Tsuna's hands, and both of them were turning slightly transparent, as though they were just an illusion, a spirit, a ghost, who are moving on to their next life, not a real human being.
Tsuna's horribly tear-stained face shocked Giotto awake. He wants to save his friends, but he wants to stay.
Giotto's hands halted in their path to reach out to the brunette.
'I have to make a choice.
He has to make a choice.
Therefore, I shall make the choice.
For his sake.'
''Tsuna, take this white rose! It will be able to help you! '' Giotto threw a white roses encased in a slender glass bottle from within his pocket. Tsuna caught it perfectly, and the glass bottle was turning even more transparent than it should do.
''Gi—''
''GO!'' Giotto screamed, his throat burns like acid and his lungs felt ripped by the impact that he shouted in. He never screamed like that before, not even when his parents dropped dead in front of him. He felt the wetness, symbols of weakness, in his eyes again.
The white rose symbolising purity can help to suppress the vampire blood, a secret passed down the generations of the Vongola Family. Cozart grew a lot around his base too, which was why both of them never showed much vampire traits. It kept both of them safe.
I hope Tsuna got the meaning.
Tsuna's eyes widen to their fullest and his tears stopped in their treads down his face.
''I will be back for sure.'' He said with firm resolute, with tear tracks still staining his delicate features. Tsuna was the only one who could see through Giotto's charade easily. Tsuna took the glass bottle into a one-handed hug, and nodded with a determined expression.
And the last drop of tear dripped to the floor with a quiet plop as the brunette's figure disappeared along with the hot-headed teen.
Silence hung dead in the air when the room had suddenly became less full than it did just a second ago.
''Giotto…'' G croaked hoarsely, after a suffocating breath which no one dared to break, filled with concern. Sepira stopped him with a light touch on his shoulders.
''I would like to be left alone, please.'' Giotto said, his eyes clouded lightly with melancholy, but had disappeared behind closed eyelids. He didn't want anyone to see him break down because of one person. He looked so pathetic right now, which he figured he pretty much brought on himself.
He knew, he definitely knew that Tsuna would eventually leave him. They belonged to two different worlds which were never supposed to be linked.
I realised I was being selfish, but I don't want to do any more things I will regret.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
''Giotto! Run!'' Sepira suddenly screamed, unlike her usual passive and composed persona, she looked like she was witnessing something at a grotesque horror movie.
''Wh-?''
''He's coming! He's coming for your life!'' Sepira shrilled and quickly shoved Giotto to the back of the base. Giotto almost tripped over nothing when he was shoved without knowing what was going to happen, soon.
''Wh-!? Who's coming?!'' Giotto shouted, his neck twisting so he could look to the back.
''LAUDNER!'' Sepira screamed wildly, tears brimming at the rim of her dark blue eyes, threatening to spill any moment, free from their restrains.
''Him? What would he want to kill me?'' Giotto asked, but he still did what Sepira asked him to do. Giotto made sure all his guardians were in front of him before he allowed himself to be pushed forwards. Sepira was the last; shoving everyone forwards before her own self.
''I have no time to explain! Take this!'' Sepira pushed a small black box into Giotto's back coat pocket. ''And escape to Tsuna's passage of time! The passage should still be open for another half hour! Use it when you have gotten very far away, and DON'T LOOK BACK NO MATTER WHAT!'' Sepira screamed out her finality and slammed the back kitchen door shut in their faces.
''Don't die on me, Sepira.'' Giotto tried to make his voice steady when he said that, clenching his fist.
''I promise.'' Sepira said with an inkling of laughter through the door, but it was heard clearly by the seven on the other side of the door who waited for the answer before breaking into a run.
Giotto turned behind when he felt his body turned strangely light, and recognized it as one of Sepira's spell. It was one of her most powerful spells which can block their presence from being detected.
But in exchange for casting it on seven people at one mighty go, her dying will flame would be drained considerably.
''Giotto, why would Laudner try to kill you?'' G shouted as he led the way through the forest.
''I-''
A loud boom like a meteorite had dropped onto earth's surface sounded from the direction where they are running from.
''What was that!''
A horribly sinking feeling etched itself into Giotto's heart, clawing at him with sharp and long nails, perfectly manicured in red.
''I have a bad feeling! We should turn back!'' Giotto shouted over the wind howling in his ear at their running speed, concern lacing heavily on his expressions and words.
''If you turn back, you are going to die.'' Alaude calmly said, looking backwards at Giotto.
''Primo, if you turn back now, you would be wasting her efforts.'' Daemon said matter-of-factly.
''I know, but-'' Giotto argued.
''But what? If you know, run!''
''B-''
''Giotto, I- We are not going to let you die. Our main priority is you, even if it means dragging you to a hell of regret than the hell of death. We don't have enough strength to fight Laudner, and Sepira knows that, that's why she asked you to escape, especially when you are his… target.'' G said with a taut serious face.
Giotto became silent afterwards.
The seven of them ran in uncomfortable silence as they ran away from where loud explosions can be heard with a heavy regretful weight in all their hearts.
''This is stupid.'' Alaude commented all of a sudden, irritancy brewing conspicuously in his words. ''If it was just me, I would have went and fought Laudner myself.''
Giotto could feel the familiar coppery taste in his mouth from him biting his lips.
''Awfully chatty aren't you, Alaude?'' Knuckle said.
''Do you want to die an early death?''
''Not till I wrote a death will.'' Knuckle said.
''Primo, we should be fine now, take out what Sepira-kun gave you.'' Asari said after they could no longer hear the sounds from their base.
''…'' Giotto took out the box hastily stuffed in his pockets and opened the small little thing.
Seven rings lay inside, cushioned by a soft black velvet layer lining the inside of the box. The large hexagonal crystals mounted in the rings were different in each ring, respectively the colours of the rainbows except the orange colour. What replaced the orange crystal was a circular ring instead with a circular crystal in the middle with the Vongola Family ensemble on it, and around its edges were the colours of the other rings. The hoop of the ring was a beautiful, shining silver polished perfectly, swirling around the gem elegantly, almost like a mother cradling its child.
The gems had cravings on the inside as well. The red had a storm, yellow had a sun, green had a lightning, blue had a rain droplet, violet had a cloud, indigo had mist.
The rings glowed softly in its own light, in faint shades of the colour they represented, and the circular ring in the middle of everything glowed orange. The rings looked like they had a life of their own, shining with their own strength.
''Rings?'' Knuckle said puzzedly. ''I can't wear rings since I do boxing.''
''Tacky.'' G commented. ''Skulls are so much nicer.''
''They looked pretty elegant.'' Daemon said.
''Booo! I don't want to wear rings like a girl!'' Lampo grumbled in his tantrum.
''Let's put it on.'' Giotto said, which was the most logical thing to do when you see rings, right?
''But how do we split the rings?'' Asari asked. ''And that ring in the middle.''
''Mmm… I do remember reading somewhere in a book that there are seven colours of the sky, which is exactly the colours found in the rainbow…''
''But what would that help us sort the rings out?''
''Okay.'' Giotto said, as calmly as he could muster because he felt hostile presence approaching, fast, but not fast enough. He prayed hard that Sepira's charm would work.
''Let's just pick the ring you like, and feel… comfortable with.''
''That's too hasty.'' Lampo complained.
''We don't have time, hurry up!''
And everyone picked their rings. Giotto choose last, which was the ring in the middle, the special one.
''We figured you should take the 'special' ring, since you are the boss.'' G said. He fingered the ring with the red gem in his hands. ''I like the storm design best.''
''Not fair! I wanted the red one!'' Lampo grumbled, with the rain ring in his hands. ''I don't like rain!''
''Lampo, do you want to exchange with me? I happen to prefer rain over lightning.'' Asari said kindly and Lampo's face immediately brightened up. They exchanged the rings.
''Nufufu, mist really fits me well.'' Daemon smirked as he took the indigo gem ring in his hands.
''Why did you take the cloud?'' Alaude said as he glared at Knuckle.
''Well, since its dark coloured… I figured it would be easier to hide?''
''Give me that.'' Alaude said coldly and tossed the sun ring into Knuckle's hands. ''You can't lie to me.''
''Alaude, you have always been like this huh? I thought maybe you should have some bright colours like yellow since you always wear dark coloured clothes when you had such nice white hair.''
''That is none of your concern.'' Alaude said brusquely, and held his hand out. Knuckle gave him the cloud ring.
''Let's go!''
''Do you know how to activate this ring or something?''
''…''
''…''
''My intuition is tell-''
''Your intuition, huh?'' A wry smirk hid its way in G's statement.
''No really! What I have to do is light up my flames, like… this.'' Giotto squeezed his inner strength into the ring finger, really hard, his face was turning red. ''How on earth?''
''GOD DAMN IT HURRY UP. They are approaching!''
''We will protect you, Primo, so concentrate on figuring out how to use the ring.'' Asari assured and the six of them separated into different directions, but still taking note to keep close in a circle. The enemy were approaching, but they hadn't notice them yet because of Sepira's charm.
''Urgh. How do I do this… Umm…'' The clogs in Giotto's brains clinked into action, fast and furious.
'Imagine your dying will like a flame, like energy, and the ring is a tool to channel your energy.' Tsuna spoke in his head.
''Dying will? But what help will it do?'' Giotto asked stupidly, his mouth gaping slightly. The voice didn't replied.
Giotto mustered his strength, took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He could feel the blood flowing through him, energy surging through him, the flame of life in his veins and arteries. His instincts were on needles, and he could feel his body moving on his own.
'What is your wish?' Tsuna's voice echoed against the inner of his skull.
What I wish for?
I want to go to the future.
'That's not really the reason right?' The Tsuna doppelganger's voice asked with a laughter.
I want to protect everyone.
Giotto smile a little on the inside when he realised that was what he really wanted to do.
The ring on his finger shone with a warm light like the sunset, and he could feel himself being lifted into the air, as though gravity didn't really matter at the moment and he was in space.
And the light was sucked out of his vision.
And then it came back on.
He was in a dark crowded street. He could feel warm body weights on all his sides and he instinctively stood up. His friends were leaning against him, unconscious, but they were stirring.
Dozens of eyes were trained on their every movement, and Giotto froze like a statue. The people around them were wearing unfamiliar and weird clothing. He felt out of place together with the six on the floor. He looked over the heads of the by passers, and see a whole row of shops lining both sides of the street. There were artificial lights shining on them, like a spotlight.
Where is this place?
Giotto squat down again and shook each of them gently, but enough to wake them up.
''Wake up!'' Giotto hissed.
'Are they cosplayers? Their cosplays looks really good!' A teen girl at their side with dark eye shadows, dark blood red lips and long straight black hair. A vampire cosplayer.
'Cosplayers?' Giotto thought and felt relieved when a few of his friends were coming back to life.
''Let's go to a more secluded place. There's too many people here.'' Giotto hushed and led the way down the street. He never was a fan of crowds. His head was swimming already.
o0o
''How do you reckon we find Tsuna?'' G asked, and sat down on the wooden steps of a temple which neither looks very old or recent. It was empty and quiet, and that was the main thing.
''Namimori shrine? Hmm, that's weird, I don't remember it being here…'' Asari mused thoughtfully while rubbing his chin.
''I took this map of the Namimori from the tourist help centre.'' Giotto said and waved the piece of paper, unfold it, smoothened it and held it out for everyone to see.
''We are at Namimori Shrine. Soo…Here.'' Giotto pointed at a small square at the top left corner of the map. ''Why don't we head to the Vongola Base? Tsuna would most probably be there, wouldn't he?''
''Does it actually exist, I mean, it's the future!''
''Namimori Shrine is a rather well respected shrine, so I guess they do…?''
Soft footsteps echoed in the silent night. The cold wind blew at the seven who were lost children in an unknown world, unable to find their way through the forest of maze.
''Hide!'' Giotto hissed and the seven of them scattered in different directions.
A small pool of light grew nearer and nearer and two tall silhouettes came into view, but it was too dark and no proper lightning except the light shone on the floor to see.
''Didn't I heard someone talking?'' A deep, velvet-like voice said. It sounded like Giotto himself, but slightly lower.
''Should we look around? It might be the enemy.'' The second voice said. It sounded much more gruff, but still young.
''Kya!'' A bloodcurdling scream.
It was Lampo.
''SPIDER SPIDER SPIDER NOOOOO!'' Lampo tensed up and jumped up and down frantically, his hands moving, unsure whether to sweep the spider off his back or not to touch it.
''Shh! Lampo!'' G hissed and clamped a mouth over the green-haired teen.
G calmly swept the arachnid off.
''From there!'' The two walked towards where Lampo and G was, the shorter one gripping the torchlight fiercely. The pool of light shook as it focused on the bush which hid G and Lampo.
''Come out! We know you are there!''
G's mind swirled. Should they reveal themselves? Or attack the two?
The first choice seemed better. They could say there were foreigners and they lost their way and ask for directions. (It's the truth anyway.)
G stood up, along with a grouching Lampo. The torch bathed them in its light. G blinked a few times to get the light blindness out of his eyes.
''G? Lampo?'' The smooth voice gasped in disbelief.
Everyone's eyes widen.
''Huh?''
''It's me, Tsuna!'' The shorter shouted excitedly. ''I have missed you guys! It's been ten years!'' Tsuna shouted and dashed forward and engulfed the two in a soft bear hug.
''Ten years?'' G asked.
''Yeah!'' Tsuna shone the torchlight on his face, giving him a creepy atmosphere.
What was there wasn't the youthful and childish face they were expecting.
It was the older version of Giotto with brown hair and eyes.
o0o
Yeah! :D But damn, it became another cliff hanger chapter again.
Giotto: So the story is now in the present huh?
Itake: Kind of… It just somehow turned out differently from the story plot I had.
Giotto: You never ever stick to your story line huh?
Itake: O-Of course I do! Just, a little bit of changes…
Giotto: Yeah sure.
Itake: *Nervous laughter* Until next time!
o0o
Nera Assassina, yeah, and the moment he did, he went back to the past, so I guess it wasn't much of a difference… Don't die yet, not yet, until I finished writing the story. XD
Rue Emiko Kom, hey thanks! I noticed that as well, but I realised it's because of my mood changes and it affects how my story turns out. :D I hope this chapter didn't sound too weird.
Thelittlesky, we all need a little hug every now and then yeah.
Anisthasia, cool! I'm glad the chapter made you laugh! I feel happy if you guys enjoyed the chapter, it makes me feel it worthwhile to write the chapter. Thanks I love chocolates! *Grins widely and munches the chocolate*
Wynos15, haha I will. :)
