Chapter 18
Tsuna lied still on his bed. Deactivating his mist ring, his eyes went for his hand which was lifted over his head. On his right hand, there was his ultimate weapon: the Vongola Gears.
He earned this deadly weapon a while ago. How many years? Five years? It was so long ago, like another life. It was during a fight that ended with the death of the Primo mist guardian. He could barely remember the exact details of him earning this weapon using his own resolution, but it had something to do with Chrome. Tsuna's eyes narrowed a little as his thought went for Chrome.
"Chrome Dokuro..." Tsuna whispered quietly. After all, Chrome Dokuro was the first girl who actually kiss Tsuna. Dame-Tsuna, I mean. Even though it was just 'saying hello', it left a deep impression inside Tsuna's head. Chrome Dokuro became pretty strong in the past few years. She grew up quickly along with her Rokudo Mukuro-sama. During the fight which sent Tsuna into this parallel worlds, Chrome escaped the first murder attempt using her own power. But she wasn't so lucky the second time, she was killed in an instant. Of course, Tsuna was not present during the killing, but he received images of it in his head thanks to his enemy. Or is this the special power of the Vongola Rings, now in form of the Vongola Gears? Tsuna wondered slowly as he rolled his body to the left side, lowering his hand in front of his face so he can take a closer look at his Vongola Gears. The power of the seven cubed is so powerful that it is sometimes considered as a legend by people who refused to believe in it. As 1/3 of the seven cubed, the Vongola Rings also holds great power.
Can the Vongola Ring send images of the guardians into the head of the boss when the sky attribute ring holder desperately wants to see his/her guardians? Tsuna wondered as his hand touched the edge of the VG. Like, for example, now, I want to see the face of Gokudera Hayato! A shot of light shot straight out from the VG right into Tsuna's forehead, as it did during the Vongola Inheritation ceremony in the future. Tsuna shrunk back a little in sudden surprise. The inside his brain as he recognised the image, his eyes widened in surprise.
He saw the Gokudera Hayato of this world, not his world, training with the rest of the guardians like hell. As he saw Gokudera ducked an attack from Hibari, he saw Gokudera murmured a short sentence.
"For the fight with the Vassallo tomorrow, for the fight to get Jyuudaime back..."
Live image? Tsuna thought in surprise. What's the fight tomorrow? Wasn't it cancelled thanks to the fake Vongola ring? In great confusion, Tsuna activated his sky Arcobaleno ability number one: mind reading.
His eyebrows raised as he learned the details. Tsuna at the age of twenty is pretty good at reading other's fighting power the first time he sees them. After fighting with the Vongola Guardians of this worlds and being tested by the underbosses of the Vassallo family, he could feel the huge gap of power between them. There was no chance that the Vongola Guardians can win! Nakamura Kai will be kept in the cell forever if this is the current situation!
Nakamura Kai...? Tsuna's mind slowed down. For the first time since he arrived at this world, Tsuna's mind tried to consider this whole situation from Nakamura's point of view. It looked like Nakamura Kai was extremely similar to Tsuna. Maybe not so similar to the Tsuna now, but definitely the same as the Tsuna two years ago. With the resolution of putting their comrades and friends, even their enemies sometimes in front of their own needs, both Tsuna and Nakamura often face a lot of difficult choices. Bitting his lips, Tsuna asked himself one question while the image of Gokudera Hayato was still flashing in front of his eyes.
What will...what will Nakamura Kai, the Vongola Decimo of this world, do at this point knowing the whole situation?
He will probably try to stop the fight tomorrow even if it will cost him his own life. That thought went right inside Tsuna's head. The image of Gokudera was gone, his whole mind was focused on this one single business. He will blame himself for the whole incident. Then he will try to stop it in exchange of his life.
Why am I thinking about this? Tsuna shut his eyes slowly. The needs of Nakamura Kai is non of my business. Sighing one more time, Tsuna passed out in tiredness.
Dark hallways, then it leads into a dark room. The door was locked. His hand reached out for the steel handle which was even colder than ice. His other hand went inside his pocket and took out the thing. His ultimate weapon. A smile lit up on his darkened face. Slowly, he put the thing into that small dent on the top of the handle and turned it. Crack. Then the opening of the door.
The small cell was even darker than the outside. There was no window in the room, the whole room was sealed tightly except a small pipe to pump in oxygen. The cell smelled like grass for some reason. Holding his nose while shaking his head, his eyes went around the room searching for his target. Then his gaze fixed on the object shrinking in the left corner of this tiny cell.
He smirked. Such a stupid place to shrink in. What a stupid coward. Tilting his head like a curious child, he headed for the dark object. But the object seemed to not notice his existence at all. It remained silent and unmoving. Reaching out one hand, he lifted the object up by grabbing tightly on the object's head. The object made no movement to escape. It remained lifeless.
Slapping himself in forgetfulness, he remembered that he didn't send any food down here for seven days. He grinned. Even his stupid boss don't know the location. This place is his top secret room. The best place to hide the object when he was tying to find a great place to put this object in.
Squeezing the object's pale cheek, he laughed out in a low voice. His body shaking out of excitement. It was midnight. If anyone happened to hear this laugh, it was most possible that they will run away as quick as possible while screaming out loud, calling 'ghost'.
It is now only around eighteen hour until the fight, he thought with a smirk. You are going to be great during the battle.
He took out the thing and put it on his right middle finger. Fidgeting with it for a second, his eyes grew wider in happiness.
"Just wait, the Vongola Family, and Berbardino Vassallo," Underboss I said with a loud laugh. "ha, see how I kill all of you in one second tomorrow."
His hand grew tighter around Nakamura Kai's neck before he finally released it and lit the Tornator.
"Gah!" Tsuna woke up with a start. He shouted out in extreme pain. His right hand hurt like hell. Wincing in pain, his eyes went for the Vongola Gears.
Why was it growing so tight just one second earlier? Tsuna wondered. Looking at the Vongola Gears, his eyes flew for the clock. It was one in the morning. Why now? Tsuna scratched his head, I was dreaming about my comrades in my own world... Then his head suddenly remembered the last image he saw before he woke up thanks to the pain on his right hand. That was when his body froze along with his expression. It was an image completely unrelated to his dream earlier.
The body of Nakamura Kai was there lying motionless in the middle of a small dark room with not even on ray of light. But when Tsuna got closer to him, Tsuna heard one clear word, loud and clear. The voice was nostalgic, but it was also a little different than the voice he heard before. This time, the voice was weak and soft. As if the owner of the voice was trying to beg for something. Something that's dear to his life. Maybe even dearer than his own life.
"Help."
The last desperate call. The last calling for help for the Vongola Family by their current boss, Nakamura Kai, to somebody he don't even know by person.
"Reborn-san!" Irie Shoichi called out in excitement, "I think I found him!" Then he couldn't control himself anymore. Letting out a loud yawn, he collapsed right onto the computer snoring.
"Yo, Shoichi." Spanner sighed as he pushed Irie slightly. "Ah. anyways. Guess you are pretty tired working so hard trying to find the location of Sawada Tsunayoshi." Then his head turned to Reborn who was holding a serious face. "I will explain it to you then." He said while putting another candy inside his mouth.
"See, the dots with the outer circle colour of dark grey meanings we know the ID of the flame holder." Spanner said while pointing at the dots on the advanced fire detector. "This is Byakuran Gesso, for example." Spanner said pointing at a giant orange dot with the outer circle colour of grey. "The size of the dot represents the power of the fire holder. The colour of the dot represents their major attribute. Because Shoichi just installed an plug-in onto this fire detector, the mist ring or any cover will not work on this fire detector. It will always show the person's major attribute and true power. Thanks to the information system, nobody other that us three and Vongola know the existence of this machine. So they can't have any prevention from not detected."
"Dame-Kai?" Reborn face cracked a little.
"You don't know?" This was Spanner's turn to be surprised. "Vongola ordered us to make this so he can keep track of the location of the guardians and know their power at the time. The dot size will decrease if the fire power or energy was lost from fighting or something."
"Keep going." Reborn waved his surprise away.
"So there are five known sky attribute holder here in Palermo: Xanxus of the Varia, Dino of the Cavallone, Bernardino of the Vassallo, Vongola Nono, Vongola Decimo, and Sawada Tsuanyoshi of the Vassallo." Spanner said cooly.
"Hah?" Reborn exclaimed in surprise. "Sawada Tsunayoshi of the Vassallo? What the hell?"
"Oh," Spanner said raising an eyebrow. His hand pointed at one giant orange dot located in the area marked as 'Vassallo HQ'. "Five out of the Six Sky attribute holder here are known by the system. So this one must be Sawada Tsunayoshi. See, this small orange dot is Vongola, what the Vassallo boss said was true after all, they did capture him and kept him in the cell inside the Vassallo family." Spanner said pointing at a small dot no far away from Tsuna's dot. "Usually it's the same size as the one representing Sawada Tsunayoshi, but now..." His voice dyed off.
"Why..." Reborn whispered under his breathe. "Why...Tsunayoshi-san...why did you freaking joined the Vassallo? Why do you want to be our enemy!"
"No, you are wrong, Reborn-san." A voice came from the door. Reborn turned his head so quick that he nearly sprained it.
"Tsunayoshi-san will never do that. I can see that in his resolution." Gokudera Hayato said leaning against the door.
