Chapter 8
"Gokudera-kun, did you teach Tsunayoshi-kun this piec-?" Nakamura's words stopped in midair as he saw Gokudera's teary face. Shaking his head slightly, he find even himself trying to shear away a drop of tear. Tsunayoshi-kun played the piece too sad. Nakamura said. How can he build up such emotion? Like he actually experienced something even more heartbreaking than Gokudera's story.
But he didn't know Tsuna did experience something worse, much worse. He experienced something they couldn't even imagine. As everyone wiped their face roughly trying to hide the fact they cried, Gokudera remained unmoving on the stairs.
How did Sawada Tsunayoshi know this piece? How can he play it that well? Even better than me! How can he even make the last note of the piece lasts exactly 10 and a half second, just like my mother? How did he... Too many questions bursted into Gokudera's head. But the fact that Tsuna totally amazed him on this song remained inside his head. When Gokudera first met Tsuna, he just thought he was some stupid brat who was good at Kung Fu or karate; after he used the rings and after he knew his identity as the son of the Head of CEDEF, he thought that Tsuna was a spoiled Mafia kid; just a while ago he knew that even though Tsuna was a direct heir of Primo he did not have any interaction with the Mafia whatsoever until they arrived at the Namimori Univeristy. Now, after Tsuna played that piece that well, for the first time in his life after meeting Nakamura Kai, Gokudera thought with such power, politeness, and perfection on everything he does, Sawada Tsunayoshi could be a great Boss of Vongola. Maybe even better than Jyuudaime (to the Gokudera of this world, jyuudaime=Nakamura), no, definitely better than Jyuudaime. He might be even better than Primo-sama!
Grinning at that thought, Gokudera walked down to the dinning hall in pure silence still holding the shocked expression.
When the guardians, Reborn, and Nono reached the dinning hall, Tsuna was already there. Tsuna father refused to eat with them after being rejected by his son three times. Siting at the seat beside Reborn's usual seat and Nono's usual seat, Tsuna was staring blankly at a his serve of the cucumber sushi. Or shall I say, Tsuna's favourite Sushi.
"Anything wrong, Tsunayoshi-kun?" Nakammura asked slowly, but Tsuna didn't notice him, he was in his own pool of thoughts.
Yamamoto Takeshi was the best at making sushi in the Vongola Family, everyone knew that in Tsuna's world. Every Friday night, Yamamoto would go to the kitchen himself with Sasagawa sometimes to make the cucumber sushi specially for Tsuna and Reborn who also loved it. It would take him only thirty minutes to make three servings for all of the Vongola Guardians with the help of Sasagawa. Out of everyone's surprise, Sasagawa was extremely skilled on cutting vegetables, namely, cucumber. So they were great on making sushi together. Yamamoto rarely eats the sushi he made, he will always stand by the side and watch everyone else eat happily. Tsuna asked why, Yamamoto just said he didn't want to take away other's food. But Tsuna guessed it had something to do with Yamamoto's father who died half a year ago in a car accident conducted by a rival family.
Slowly as another tear fell, Tsuna took a pair of wooden chopsticks out from somewhere inside his suite, chopsticks made by his mother who also died in that car accident along with Yamamoto's father. She was shopping by the street when the car driven by the rival family's assassin hit Yamamoto's car and then smashed her. Tsuna got the news two weeks later, the news was suspended before it reached Tsuna on the day of the accident: Yamamoto did that on purpose so Tsuna's heart wouldn't break. Tsuna reached out for the sushi. As everyone was looking at his face, Tsuna turned to Yamamoto who was looking at him happily with a giant smile.
"Yamamoto Takeshi," Tsuna said slowly, "Did you make this?"
"Oh, you noticed." Yamamoto grinned, "I made this this morning before arriving at the conference forty-five minutes late. The rice was unusually hard to make today, I guess. How does it taste?"
Putting the chopsticks back where he took it out from, Tsuna stood up from the chair. Not forgetting to push it back, he walked towards Yamamoto and patted his shoulder slightly.
"Very good, Takeshi-san, very nicely made." He walked away quickly trying to hide the lonely look on his face.
As he was about to leave the room in hurry, Reborn called out his name loud and clear.
"Tsuna," Reborn said. "Meet us at the training room thirty minutes later please. I guess you already know where it is. I will explain why later." Then Reborn looked at the suite Tsuna was wearing right now. "I suggest you change into t-shirt so it's easier to move around. I want you to fight with all the guardians at once. So for your own go-"
"No," Tsuna cut off, giving everyone a slight smile. "Isn't it tradition in Vongola to fight in suites representing justice. Then I will do so." Then he was gone.
"That guy got some confidence." Sasagawa's eyebrows rose. "He dared to say that he can fight in suite with us. He probably doesn't know that suite can slow your speed down unless they are specially made battle suite."
"Or maybe he has the ability to do so." Rokudo Mukuro shook his head slowly.
"Nah, nah," Yamamoto said waving his hands, trying to recover from the 'Takeshi-san' Tsuna just said. "Just wait, we'll see."
Twenty five minutes later, Tsuna arrived at the familiar training room five minutes early. Making sure that he hid the sign of Vongola on his VG perfectly, he activated his mist ring, creating an illusion that the training room was empty. This mist ring really comes in handy sometimes, Tsuna thought, Thanks, Mukuro.
Five minutes later as the guardians, Reborn, and Nono entered the room chatting, Tsuna moved to the centre of the room, letting it easier for them to notice them. Maybe it was because he used the Class A ring's top ability, they didn't even sense his existence. After twenty minutes of waiting, Sasagawa was getting anxious.
"Where the freaking hell is that Sawada Tsunayoshi?" He bellowed. "He is late to the extreme."
That was when Tsuna moved. Still using his mist ring, he went into hyper mode after sliding on his gloves. He raced towards Sasagawa and gave him a face punch using his sky element fire. As Sasagawa's body hit the training room wall really hard, Tsuna went back to his normal mode but still had his gloves on. Deactivating the mist ring, Tsuna gave a loud yawn.
"Ah..." Tsuna said in boredom. "First test, observation, you all failed. Yes, all. Including you, too, Vongola Nono and Reborn." Flashing the mist element fire in front of everyone's eyes, Tsuna continued. "I was in the room five minutes before you guys entered, right in the middle of the room. But for some reason, non of you noticed me, including Rokudo Mukuro and Chrome Dokuro, what a disappointment, Vongola. I thought I can expect more of you."
"So that was why the air in the centre of the room was a little twisted." Mukuro said in sudden realisation, "I thought it was air conditioning problem. Talking about that, you are a mist element person?"
Tsunayoshi-kun holds mist element flame? Nono was quite surprise. How can an innocent kid like him holds mist element flame as his major, like, naturally?
"Nah," Tsuna shook his head, "You got that wrong, too." He took out his two hands. Closing his eyes for a second, he lit all six rings (except the VG) on his hand. The flames were all there except the extremely rare sky element flame. All the flame holds an equal great amounts of power, like Tsuna was pressing down the size and power of the flames on purpose. Giving out an innocent smile, Tsuna said slowly. "See, I can wield all six these flames perfectly. Well, not professionally though."
Swallowing back their surprise, Reborn went forward and jumped on Tsuna's shoulder, giving him a sense of home. "Well, Tsunayoshi-san," Reborn said quietly, "So if I tell all seven of you to attack you at once (since Sasagawa was out already), can you please not hurt them too severely, just give them a lesson."
"You sure?" Tsuna whispered back, "I cannot control these flames too perfectly, I might hurt them by accident."
"Doesn't matter," Reborn shook his head slowly. "I will deal with the injuries later. Use your full power ok?"
"That's gonna be very quick." Tsuna said as his mind flew to X X Burner. "I mean very quick by a few seconds."
"Go ahead." Reborn smiled. "I wanna see your major fire attribute."
Tsuna nodded as Reborn jumped down his shoulder. Coughing slightly, Tsuna looked at the Vongola guardians. "Brace yourselves," Tsuna grinned evilly, "This is gonna be very quick."
As soon as his sentence finished, he went into Hyper mode and jumped into the air. All the guardians went into battle mode, too. Nakamura's weapon was a sword, a very delicate European sword surround by sky attribute flame. Glaring at Nakamura for an extra second, Tsuna whispered the code to start this short battle.
"Operation X X / Double X."
Ten seconds later, as both side of the flame reached 650,000, a standard acceptable for Tsuna, he fired, aiming perfectly at all the Vongola Guardians who was crowding together. "X X Burner." Tsuna shouted as he saw the surpassed look in everyone's eyes. Great dad isn't here, Tsuna thought, or he might faint right on the spot.
"Sky attribute." Reborn and Nono whispered at the same time. Even though Reborn expected that result, it caught Nono off by surprise.
Two sky attribute in one generation at Vongola? Nono thought, Crap. Will Tsunayoshi-kun try to overthrow Kai-kun? Please don't.
As Tsuna landed down on the ground after going back to normal, he grinned at Nono and Reborn and went outside the training room ignoring all the Vongola Guardians on the ground. "Weaklings," He said out loudly as Hibari used to do, "I didn't expect you to be that weak, Vongola Guardians. If the next time I fight you guys you are still this weak, I am going to kill you on the spot." Then with his real killing intent, he sent outside the training room.
Sighing slightly, Reborn went towards the group and lighted his sun attribute flame. Yeah, weaklings, Reborn thought inside his head, They deserve to be punished, Tsunayoshi-san's right.
But what he didn't know was that at this very same time, Tsuna was kneeling down on the ground outside cursing himself for hurting his 'friends'. When he tried to stand up, his knees buckled a little.
That was a near miss, it was quite dangerous. Tsuna thought inside his head. I might get badly hurt if it hit me off guard.
That attack by Nakamura.
Choose, there's consequence for both choices, but choose.
