Hey guys, this is Fantasy Man 2. I'll be writing Tsuna's POV for the story. This chapter will go over what Tsuna was doing last chapter and expand slightly, a VERY small amount, past where the last chapter stopped. Hope you guys enjoy it!
The morning had started normally enough. Reborn woke up Tsuna by blowing up a bomb by his ear.
Normal.
"AHHHH! Reborn, would it kill you to just wake me up normally once!?" Tsuna screamed after his minor heart attack passed.
"Yes." Reborn answered with a look of innocence on his face. His face turned serious as he continued, "Tsuna, I have to go return to Italy today. Nono's health has taken a turn for the worse. If everything goes fine, I should be back in time to wake you up tomorrow."
Tsuna's eyes widened at the information about Nono. He hoped that he was okay. "What about the Vongola?" His eyes widened. What about the Vongola? Wouldn't that mean he would have to take over!? "You should." Yeah, he shou- wait a sec.
"REBORN!" Tsuna shouted, when he realized that he was about to be manipulated by Reborn, again.
Reborn had a sad expression as he explained, "Nono could be dying, Tsuna. With him gone the Vongola won't be taken seriously. They'll need you to be ready to take the reins." He turned to leave, before stopping to add, "Think about it seriously Tsuna."
After Reborn left, Tsuna started getting ready for school. He tried to think about taking over the Vongola seriously, and it still freaked him out. He doesn't want to be the leader of a mafia, he just wanted to lead a normal life!
He acted as normal as possible in front of Gokudera and Yamamoto, which he messed up horribly, causing them to ask 'What's wrong Tsuna/Tenth?' which in turn led to him explaining.
"I see… Can we do anything?" Yamamoto asked with concern in his voice.
Tsuna shook his head, "He's in Italy and Reborn already left. I don't think we can do anything." With that said, they arrived at school. After a particularly dull day, Tsuna started to head home, alone.
Yamamoto and Ryohei were busy with their clubs so they usually couldn't come anyway. Gokudera received a message that his 'order' had just came in, so he had to leave in the opposite direction. Lambo, well, was with I-pin and Kaa-san at home. And Chrome, she always headed back to Mukuro's gang's hideout.
To be honest, he had a bittersweet feeling being alone. It allowed himself to somewhat relax, without worrying about the mafia or fights for a while, but it reminded himself of what it was like before Reborn, and that's not a time he wants to remember.
As he was walking home, he noticed large amounts of couples, EVERYWHERE! It was actually unnerving seeing so many in one area, so he took a small detour. It was literately one block down the road, so of course the universe decided that three thugs should spot him, and take him into an alleyway.
"Alright kid, just give us all of your valuables and we'll let you go. Oh, and if you tell the cops about us, we'll make you unable to live." The leader thug threatened. Tsuna knew he could beat them in HDW mode, but his pills and rings were in his bag.
So he did what he would do with his former bullies. He clutched his bag, vigorously shook his head, and became as small as possible. The thugs were quick to anger, first nudging him with their feet, but quickly turned to punching Tsuna.
Tsuna sat there, taking each hit for what seemed to last for hours, before the hitting stopped and the thugs started grunting. At first he thought Gokudera had found them, but found out that he was saved by… what's her name?
He knew that she was with Chrome's and Mukuro's group but what's her name? It was short too, but what it was completely slipped his mind.
"You're... Vongola Decimo...aren't cha?" The girl asked, making him stiffen, and make him look up, panicking as his head was trying to place that damn name! Then it came to him, she was one that Bianchi took down when they went to save Fuuta.
"You're..." His voice was dry and ragged from under usage at the moment. "from Mukuro's gang...M," he paused hoping it was her name, "M, right?" Her eyebrow quirked, before she gave a bitter laugh.
"So you know who I am..." As she was saying this, Tsuna put his arms on the ground to push himself up. His right eye and left leg both had this numb pain to them, and his chest hurt. Why would thugs punch people while they wear rings? Mafia needs them for flames, but that's mafia, with super powered babies and time travel.
He saw some sympathy displayed on her face, before she frowned and narrowed her eyes. She reached out slowly, which started making him blush slightly at what she could be doing, before pushing him, and his fantasies, down.
She was being gentle with him, but he still gave a hiss of pain from his chest. After he was back on the ground, she placed her hand on his ribs, sending a jolt of pain throughout his entire body, and causing him to yowl. He saw that she had called forth a sun flame, and before long he couldn't feel the pain.
After she was finished, she had turned to leave. Not wanting to have her leave before he could thank her, he firmly grabbed her arm.
"Um..." Great, now he's nervous, "It's a bit late...so maybe..." He can't believe that he's asking this, "you could stay over at my house before you go back to Kokuyo?" He started blushing as he realized what that must have sounded like, so he quickly added, "A-as thanks! For healing me!"
He could feel her studying him, which made him feel jumpy, like the times when he was alone with Kyoko... She sighed, and yielded, pulling him up carefully.
Not sure, Tsuna asked, "I-is that a y-yes?"
With another sigh (was he annoying her?), she answered, "Yeah, so why don't you lead the way?"
Tsuna grew a small smile as he gave a nod. He turned, but he could have sworn that he saw her blush, but it was probably her hair. Ignoring that thought, they traveled the not-so-long-path home in silence, neither really able to find a topic to talk about.
Since Tsuna was thinking the worst was behind him, he opened the door to his home with little guard. So, Reborn and the universe decided that they should work together to tell him that he will never have that privilege over a cup of tea.
For as soon as he stepped through the door, an orange boxing glove shot out of the wall, hitting his face, sending him flying. Reborn, check. As he was blacking out, he could hear three girls scream, "TSUNA!" Universe, check.
Thank you for the review Akayuki Sawada!
So, for anyone who didn't know, this is where I usually talk about, stuff. Usually anything that crosses my mind. Like a theory of Bowser being a girl and stealing Peach to get to the dominant male, Mario. (I've found and looking for proof for this)
This is where I beg for reviews and give shameless advertisements to my other stories. Like, 'Vongola Redemption' my first and most popular story on this website. It includes ghosts, akuma, OCs, Devils, and a kind brother for Tsuna.
