Chapter 21
"Sawada-san, I still don't get what you meant by the big fight." Gokudera asked slowly scratching his head. "Well, what's happening? And what did you mean by Jyuudaime attacking us?"
Tsuna took a look outside the small window, he could he the flame of Nakamura getting closer and closer. Bitting his lips, he declared loudly. "There's no time to explain now. If you guys want to see the truth, I suggest you get inside this mist space." He took out his mist ring and created an area of mist to store the guardians in.
"Ok." Reborn nodded without asking anymore questions, to everyone's surprise. Then he took out his Leon gun, "Ok, everyone get inside this place, or..." He fired a shot into the ceiling. Some tiled fell down and landed on the ground, creating a great sound affect. The guardians shivered a little and stepped inside the mist world either happily or angrily with complains. Before he went inside, Reborn turned his head and looked at Tsuna who was facing him with his back, already in Hyper mode. "One last question, Tsunayoshi-san."
"Spit it out." Tsuna said cooly as he checked the short knives under his coat. "Quick."
Hesitating for a second, Reborn asked slowly. "Tsunayoshi-san, do you have the Vongola Ring?"
Pure silence. Tsuna stopped moving his hands. Yesterday he finally understood why the Vingola Ring of Nakamura Kai turned into a fake after he arrived at this new world. It was a simple rule made by the creator of Vongola. If for some reason two Vongola rings appeared in one world at the same time period, the holder with stronger power and better resolution will hold the true Vongola ring. This rule only limit on the Sky attribute Vongola ring. When Tsuna arrived, Nakamura's ring was in the hand of Bernardino Vassallo who was definitely a fake, thus Tsuna holds the true ring. "Yes, I do have it." Tsuna said slowly. "And you will not know why."
"I understand." Reborn nodded to Tsuna's surprise. "Because I think I know why already."
"Great then." Tsuna cut Reborn out . "Now please get inside the mist world as soon as possible or I will kick you in." Nakamura will be here in thirty seconds, Tsuna got no idea how strong is the true Nakamura. But from the experience inside the Vassallo family, Nakamura was definitely extremely strong.
"Sure." Reborn stepped inside the mist room. ''Boss." The mist world was sealed automatically as Reborn stepped inside in all the guardians's gazes. Did Reborn-san just call Sawada Tsunayoshi 'boss'?
"..." Tsuna remained silent. Nakamura's body appeared 5m away from him one second after the mist world was sealed. The killing intent on Nakamura's body was extreme, much stronger than Hibari Kyouya. Tsuna shivered a little as he felt the cold air splashing right onto his body. The hairstyle of Nakamura was similar to his. Now, both lowering their heads, they were all unable to see each other's expression.
"...Who are you...?" To Tsuna's surprise, Nakamura spoke first. Bernardino Vassallo didn't tell me about the existence of this person. Nakamura thought. Who's this guy? He felt a little sense of familiarity. He must have seen him somewhere before.
"You don't need to know." Tsuna said as he raised his left fist. Wait, he told himself, I need to get what I need to know out first. Calm down, Sawada Tsunayoshi. "Who are you, then? I am not sure I know you?"
"Oh, you don't know me?" Nakamura smiled slightly. As soon as he did so, Gokudera and the rest of guardians who were observing the situation raised their eyebrows unnoticeably. This is weird. That was the thought inside Gokudera's mind. Jyuudaime's smile was not like this. His smile was much purer! What happened, Jyuudaime? "I am genuinely Nakamura Kai, the Vongola Decimo."
「いいえ, きみでわありません.」 Tsuna said cooly in Japanese. This is one of the tricks he decided to use on Nakamura Kai to check that if he's the true Nakamura Kai or not. When Bernardino was acting as Nakamura, he didn't speak one word of Japanese except introducing himself to the class back in Japan. If this Nakamura Kai is fake...
「すみませんが、 わたしわボネゲレデシモ中村海です。あなたわ...?」 Nakamura replied in fluent Japanese, disagreeing with Tsuna who just told him that he was not Vongola Decimo. Tsuna bit his lip as his first trick failed.
「沢田綱吉です。」Tsuna replied slowly as he heard Nakamura Kai's question. Then he rose his head slowly. Now it was possible to see the eyes of Nakamura Kai. Tsuna shrunk a little as he saw the eye colour. The colour of blood red, the colour that he was drained in right now. His head pained at the recognition of this colour. But...But wasn't Nakamura's eyes grey? Tsuna asked himself slowly. It was also the question inside every guardian's head. Why in the world did it turn red? This kind of red?
「沢田綱吉、噫。」Nakamura said slowly as he stepped one step closer to Tsuna. 「面白いです〜」He whispered, making it possible only for Tsuna to hear. "Sawada Tsunayoshi, no, Rafael Piazza? いいえ?" Looking at Tsuna's panicked expression, a mysterious smile rose on Nakamura's face. Getting even closer to Tsuna who was quite stunned, Nakamura lifted Tsuna's chin with one pale hand. Happy about making Tsuna shocked, he leaned closer to Tsuna's face as if trying to kiss him on the chin. Tsuna tried to back up, but he found his body unable to move.
Inside the mist world, the guardians and Reborn were all stunned. They all realised something was wrong with Nakamura. But Nakamura doing this kind of thing to another guy with such a strange expression? Jeez. This is definitely not the true Nakamura Kai. Reborn thought inside his hand, his hand gripping tight on his gun. But this is definitely dame-Kai's body. Where's your soul, Kai? Where the hell is it!
Nakamura leaned towards Tsuna's ear. Slowly, he whispered out a sentence into Tsuna's ear. While Tsuna was trying to respond to the sentence, he gave Tsuna a light hug. Before Tsuna could react, he pushed Tsuna's to the corner of the room which was right behind them. Sticking his knee between Tsuna's legs, he kissed Tsuna slowly on the lips.
"WTF!" All the guardians in the mist world shouted. But the outside world was unable to hear them at all. Of course, unable to comprehend their anger and surprise. They were all stunned at the movements by Nakamura, also about Tsuna not trying to fight back. But this time, Mukuro noticed something wrong. He saw a reflection of light inside Nakamura's sleeve. He immediately felt the danger. Could it be a...!
Tsuna was totally stunned at the sentence Nakamura just whispered beside his ear. He was totally unable to move. Nakamura probably applied some kind of 'spell' on him. Feeling Nakamura's teeth biting hard on his upper lip, Tsuna opened his mouth slightly in the piercing pain. His own blood filled his mouth, it tasted like sea water for some reason. The red trail of blood slid down the side of his mouth, making a giant contraction with his pale skin. Nakamura started to act even wilder, he leaned closer at Tsuna and slid his tongue inside Tsuna's mouth, his hand clutching Tsuna's two hands even tighter. "Ohwo..." Tsuna said slightly as he felt his tongue being twisted. But he was unable to move at all, even now that the 'spell' was removed at by Tsuna's great abilities. He was just too shocked, and afraid on some means.
"噫, Tsuna-chan, the Vongola Decimo of another world, give me the ring please, or I will kill everyone here. alright~"
"Can you give me the Vongola Ring, Tsuna-chan?" Nakamura asked once more after he released Tsuna who was now coughing hard.
"Cough...cough...no...cough..." Tsuna said while wiping away the blood on his mouth.
"Ah, so naughty, Tsuna-chan~" Nakamura said with a trickful smile, his red pupils grew even wider at the excitement. "You want to do that again?" He said quietly as he closed up at Tsuna again, leaning closer and closer and closer. Tsuna was just coughing, he tried to avoid Nakamura's head by pushing his body slightly. Then...
"Danger! Sawada Tsunayoshi!" Mukuro shouted inside the mist world. But Tsuna was unable to hear that at all. Reborn then noticed it, too...
Drop, drop, drop, drop... Several red dots appeared on the ground, two seconds later, the rain of blood grew more rapid. The floor surrounding Tsuna and Nakamura soon became a small pool of blood.
"Stalemate..." Reborn's mouth was wide open as he whispered this word. Mukuro's eyes widened as he realised the true situation. "Perfect...stalemate..."
"You are quick, Tsuna-chan, really quick reflexes, I must say, much better than Nakamura Kai." Nakamura said slowly as he tried to wipe away the blood on the side of his mouth. "Always surprising, Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"Nah, what should I say about you, I-san, or shall I say, Cesare Rizzo-san in the soul, huh." Tsuna said as he stood up wobbly, supporting himself with the wall. "Coming to this world with me after all."
"Yeah, that was a coincidence." Nakamura Kai, no, Underboss I, no, Cesare Rizzo said as he tried to pull out the knife sticking inside his stomach. "But that was a great coincidence, I must say. Giving me another chance to destroy the Vongola who brought me so many pain.
"Owi." Tsuna said as he touched his wound on the chest. He felt that his right lung was cut through, it was becoming a little hard to breathe. He must activate the sun ring quickly or there might be trouble. "Seems like you got lucky thanks to Shiro-chan, too, but just arrive four years earlier than me."
"Yeah," Cesare Rizzo said with a bitter smile. "Byakuran made a stupid mistake, a very stupid one."
"Tsu-chan!" Byakuran realised Tsuna's decision and shouted. "Don't do that, you will die! Why in the world are you trying to freeze yourself in the ZPB ice along with Cesare Rizzo? You know non of us have the power of unfreeze that ice. Not even Giotto here even if he gets stronger, ok?"
"Dame-Tsuna." The Reborn who was now awake said slowly. "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The ice now completely froze Cesare inside, along with Tsuna's own two arms and his feet. The cloud ring was still shinning it's last lights on Cesare's finger. The effects continued.
Tsuna didn't even try to escape. He just stood there, and mouthed three words at Reborn. "I am sorry."
Before the Ice fully freeze Tsuna inside, Byakuran lunched into the sky. Taking out a hand, he hit Tsuna on the head lightly before his own hand was consumed by the raging ice.
The ice containing both Tsuna and Cesare fell down from midair, landed right in front of Reborn. As Cesare's soul was frozen inside, the box around Reborn was gone, so was the last trace of Tsuna's soul.
"Thank you very much, Byakuran Gesso." Reborn said as he turned to the Byakuran who was now coughing out some blood. "Sending Tsuna's soul to another parallel world which he does not exist anymore before the ice complete freezes him inside using what's left of the Mare Ring's power, a very smart move."
"Great you noticed, Arcobaleno." Byakuran coughed slightly as he tried to slash away the ZPB Ice on his sleeve, "I wish Tsu-chan can live well in the other parallel world until we can find a way to bring him back." Then Byakuran stared at Cesare Rizzo who was frozen beside Tsuna, a question rose to his head: is Cesare Rizzo really gone?
"When I woke up, I found myself working as a small clark inside the Vassallo family. So I planned all these things, including the betrayal of the guard and the death of the former Vassallo boss." Cesare said as he tilted his head. "I didn't know that you are also in this world, Tsunayoshi-kun, I just wanted to destroy Vongola, that was all."
"So the memory Nakamura had about killing the Vassallo boss was fake then, I guess." Tsuna said as he activated his sun ring behind his back, "Just part of your plan to give the Vassallo underbosses a resolution of destroying Vongola. But when you saw me, you lost all your cool and decided to kill everyone in the Vassallo family to cover up the death of me then. But sorry you failed, my ring protected me."
"I know." Cesare said with a joyful smile, for some reason. The wound on his stomach was already healed, so was the giant cut on Tsuna's chest. Slowly, Cesare took out his left hand and lit the Tornator. A black flame shot out of the tornator.
"Guess you want to end our happy experiences today?" Cesare said with a short laugh.
"Of course," Tsuna said looking at the black flame. Could this flame be...no...impossible, that banned technique! "Don't you?"
"Same then." Cesare said as he licked a small cut on the back of his hand. "Let's have some fun."
Cesare K. Rizzo: tenth boss of the Rizzo/Rossi family boss, father of one of the three sky arcobaleno candidate in Tsuna's world. Killed his own son and attempted to kill Tsuna. The person who caused Tsuna to come to this world. Body frozen inside the ZPB ice along with Tsuna's,
