He opened the window of his car, letting his face feel the moist, clean air rushing on his face. His speedometer now passed the 120 kph mark. He felt that the strong wind could blow him away, lead him to some other place where he could be free and happy. He passed many places that looked like a slide in a viewfinder, coming very fast and going away as well. He immediately noticed that the cars in front of him, forcing him to reduce his speed.

Just as the time that Takeshi would ask about the scar, a black car stopped in front of them as they stop in the corner of two streets. From the driver's seat, the door opened and a young man dressed in elegant suit alighted from the car. He bowed courteously in front of Takeshi and to Tsuna, then opened the door for them. The driver said,

"Good afternoon, Takeshi-dono. Is thy assassination plan successful?"

Takeshi replied, "Sorry, the assassination failed but I gained a new family member. Basil, meet Tsuna... " he faced Tsuna and asked, "what's your surname, Tsuna?"

"Cavallone. Tsuna Cavallone."

"Cavallone. Doth thou mean thy famous Bucking-Horse Dino Cavallone?"

"Yes."

Basil immediately knew that the man was lying and his gullible master had been caught by his trap. He knew that the Bucking Horse was the sole son of the late Enrico Cavallone. Enrico was known for being the boss of the Cavallone Famiglia and died when his famiglia along with all the members of his clan was exterminated by a certain underground famiglia six years ago, in an event known as the "Cavallone Massacre". In the massacre, every living member of the famiglia was annihilated, up to the little infants and the senior citizens.

However, the gruesomeness of the act was little in comparison to the mysteries that it left in its wake. It was that the massacre only happened on one moonless night. Everyone just got the horrible news in the morning that the famiglia of 5000 subordinates disappeared in just one night, with the famous mansion burnt along with the corpses of the speculations rose but all those things were just speculations and therefore, proved nothing. The speculations only ended after several days after Dino Cavallone was seen in an underground shelter at the land where the mansion stood. He was seen suffering from psychological trauma, holding his knee mumbling inaudible words.

He took a meticulous glance at the lying brown-haired man standing beside his master. He noticed the man's small, frail body that gave him an impression that he was weak and easy to kill. However, since Takeshi was there, he just rode at the conversation and continued,

"Really, so are thou his younger brother?"

"Nope."

Basil thought that he might had researched on Dino Cavallone so he decided to change his question.

"If not, how are thou related to him?."

"Well..."

Are thou his younger cousin from his father's side?"

"No. I'm his son and I'm 17 years old."

Basil's face turned from happy to very angry. All of a sudden, he pulled his gun from the holster inside his suit and aimed it towards Tsuna.

"Stay back from Takeshi-dono or thou will die!"

Tsuna was surprised and stepped sideways away from Takeshi. Basil started to move sideways with his gun still pointed towards Tsuna to force the man to move away. Their actions were like two people moving along the opposite sides of the circle, facing each other but are unable to meet. When Basil and Tsuna was on his place before, Basil growled,

"Doth thou thought that thou could kill Takeshi-dono, liar?"

Takeshi, still recovering from Basil's sudden reaction, asked his angry driver,

"Liar? How..."

Basil was somehow annoyed at his master, who was also his long-time friend, because he had told him about Dino Cavallone years ago but just forgot it. But still, he could not blame Takeshi for forgetting that significant bit of knowledge since he just told the latter the news days after Takeshi became the new boss after he came back from training in Japan. This was due to the unexplained resignation of the former Mestrato Famiglia boss and his disappearance days after.

"Yes, Takeshi-dono. That man is a knave! It's impossible for thou bastard to become Dino Cavallone's son since Dino's only 26 years old!"

Tsuna's shock was recognizable from his face. "How can my dad be 26... he's 37 years old and my mom, Bianchi was 34 years old now.."

And a bullet suddenly flew fast to him. Luckily, he was able to dodge that bullet but he tripped on his foot and fell on the ground. Then, he got his heroin syringe from his pocket and quickly stood up before his opponent could fire another shot. Basil was quite fast to know that the syringe was dangerous so he fired another shot, aiming at the syringe. The syringe broke into pieces, and tiny bits of glass scattered on air, the glass shrapnel went on Tsuna's skin. He just ignored it and shouted,

"Take back you word!" He breathed deeply and continued, "I don't want to fight any of my lord's family subordinates."

"Why would I? I am telling the truth unlike thou who lies through his teeth!"

He instantly took the cocaine syringe from his pocket and said, "Sorry, my lord, but I cannot let any insult to my parents pass." After this, Tsuna buried the needle deep in his skin and pushed the barrel with his thumb. The harmful drug flowed into his veins until the barrel reached half. Then, he removed the needle and continued with his fighting pose.

Takeshi was aghast from what he saw, a man injecting a drug in the middle of the battle.

"Tsuna, why did you inject yourself with that?"

"This is how I fight, my lord."

Takeshi was still puzzled at how injecting himself with drugs would help him win the fight unless he thought it was steroids. He shouted,

"Tsuna, stop!"

Tsuna moved towards Basil as though he had not heard Takeshi. Basil instantly followed with another bullet only to find out that his opponent vanished from his sight and an arm suddenly strangling him and a needle pricking his neck,

"Take back what you said... now... or you'll be killed through cocaine overdose."

Cocaine. Takeshi's knees fell upon hearing the word. It was just unexplainable.

Basil's voice was weak, fear slowly consumed him as he heard the word cocaine, "Cocaine? But how... how did thou survive... and..."

"Yes, this is cocaine... concentrated cocaine to be exact.

"Con-centrated?"

"Yes.. but I'm not into telling my abilities to others in exception to my lord. I repeat, put the gun down..."

After gulping his throat, Basil put the gun down, with the sound making Tsuna grin a little. Then, Basil followed it through hitting the man's stomach with his elbow. Tsina flinched from that blow and his grip on Basil was removed, although he still managed to hold the cocaine syringe. Basil distanced a few steps and get a butterfly knife from his pocket. He turned it and revealed its blade. Hoping to seize the opportunity of Tsuna being hurt with the blow, he immediately lunged towards him. Tsuna was able to evade it by stepping backwards.

Basil, being efficient with knives expected Tsuna's dodge, just turned his knife around his hand until his grip became reversed, the blade now positioned on the bottom of his hand, just like how ninjas hold their kunais in battle. He, then, made a quick step that was followed by a strong upward thrust at Tsuna. Despite being caught off-guard, Tsuna still managed to evade it through quickly making another backward step but his clothes was ripped. His T-shirt was ripped from the bottom up to its collar, and revealing a large diagonal scar in his pale body.

Takeshi, upon seeing the scar was now sure that Tsuna was the boy he was looking for years. Without wasting any second, he shouted.

"Basil, stop! He's him..."

The man being called was stopped from making another attack. He faced Takeshi with a question,

"Takeshi-dono, what are thou talking about?"

"Didn't you notice the scar? It's him!"

Basil looked at his opponent's bare chest and saw the scar for himself. He is certain that it is the scar, for he was with them when Takeshi was saved by the boy. Upon realizing, he dropped his butterfly knife and approached Tsuna. He approached Tsuna and bowed down to him, putting his head on the ground.

"I'm sorry for my insolence, Tsuna-dono. I didn't notice that it is thou."

Tsuna sensed the situation and just said,

"It's alright. But, are you sure of what you said about my..." and a strong blow hit his neck hit him hard enough to make fell dizzy. His body fell but was catched by Takeshi's arm. He tried to open his eyes and maintain consciousness as his ripped shirt was removed and he was carried inside the car.

He felt his body was placed in the back seat lying in his side. The remaining amount of consciousness he had started to vanish into thin air but before he could lose it all, he felt someone's lips kissing his. It was certain it was Takeshi for it bears that special taste. Then, before losing all of his consciousness, he heard a soft whisper being said in a cracked voice,

"I'm sorry."

At the last moment of his consciousness, he heard the busy streets being replaced by a loud, deafening sound that was immediately followed by silence.

As much as he would want to run at 120 kph like what he did earlier, his speed was limited to a speed of 10 kph due to the traffic. It's first day in the second semester, so it was just common for the roads to become congested with Ferrari, BMW and Porsche. As for Tsuna, he just drove slowly which he hated the most because he feel, he was driving a hearse.
