Transcending Dreams

Dream 07: Entangling Lies

"Who exactly is he?"

The questioning started off with Dakota as she crossed her arms and leaned against the soft cushions of the couch.

Red eyes watched the cosplayer before Kadin responded, "Tsunayoshi Sawada."

Her answer was met with three blank stares.

The tomboy simply returned their stares with her own.

A moment of silence passed before Noel slowly shook her head and murmured, "You can't be serious…!"

Kadin didn't bother responding and simply crossed her arms.

"Oh!" Wynne smacked her palm with a fist in thought, "His parents were probably huge fans of the anime, right?"

The tomboy raised a brow as the girlish brunette nodded her head as if she knew what she was talking about, "And they probably named him and trained him to act exactly like the actual character!"

Dot. Dot. Dot.

Dakota's jaw hung loose as Noel deadpanned, "Are you serious?"

Wynne smiled brightly at the tomboy.

Noel gave a flat expression.

Dakota was greatly conflicted.

And Kadin?

Well, she simply smirked.

THUMP!

The bluenettes fell over as Wynne cheered, "I was right~!"

A groan escaped Noel's lips, "You have got to be shitting me."

Dakota lightly batted the dark bluenette's head, "No cursing, Noel."

"I'm the Awesome One." Came the automatic response, "I can do whatever I want."

The light bluenette sighed at the answer and sat up, fixing her golden-ringed eyes on the tomboy.

"Kadin," Dakota started sternly, "We need to set up rules now that he's here."

Red faded to gold as Kadin leaned against the backrest of the love-seat and mused, "What kind of rules?"

"Well," Wynne piped up with a wide grin, "Where exactly is he gonna sleep?"

Dot. Dot. Dot.

"Leave it to the crazy pervert to bring up such an awkward question…" Noel grumbled, ignoring the pout casted at her.

"Crazy and perverted aside," Dakota followed, also ignoring Wynne's pout, "It is a valid question."

"Perhaps." Kadin drawled with a lazy smile, "But one with an obvious answer."

"Really?" The shorter brunette piped up, hands clasped together, "Where?"

Her smile turned into a devious smirk as the tomboy responded simply.

"With me."

Dot. Dot. Dot.

Silence reigned over the females.

Dot. Dot. Dot.

It was quite suffocating to be honest.

Dot. Dot. Dot-

"WHAAAAAAAAAT~?"

The earth-shattering screams was followed by the barking of various dogs along with the shouting of angry neighbors for everyone to "Keep the shitty noise-level to a fucking minimum!" and to "Go to sleep before I permanently put you to sleep six feet under!"

What wonderful neighbors, they are.

Kadin unplugged her ears and raised a brow at her friends.

Dakota dropped her hands (which covered her mouth before) to her lap and hissed, "Are you insane? He's only fifteen, give or take a year!"

"True." Came the drawl as the tomboy looked amused, "But you make it sound like I'm bedding him."

"Well, excuse me for thinking that!" Dakota snapped.

"You're excused." Kadin grinned.

A vein throbbed as the light bluenette mysteriously pulled out a giant hammer to smack the tomboy only to be held back by Wynne who cried, "Don't kill my darling~!"

"Who's your darling?" Noel grumbled, crossing her arms.

Blue eyes blinked at the question and flickered between the sisters before Wynne quipped, "Both of you!"

A fist knocked into the brunette's head as the younger sister hissed, "Fuck you."

"Yes, please~!" Came the shameless answer before another punch silenced the shorter woman.

Dakota sweated at the scene before remembering and turning to a highly amused Kadin.

Fingering her hammer, the avid cosplayer glared at the tomboy and growled, "Kadin."

The tomboy raised a brow before sighing at the look.

Placing her popcorn (When did she get that?) onto the coffee table, Kadin sat up as her amused expression slid into one of pure conviction, "I'm serious."

Noel paused in her punching and gaped at her sister, "B-But, he's a guy!"

"So?" Came the tomboy's bored drawl.

Dakota was distressed as he mussed up her hair, whimpering, "What if he tries something on you?"

"In that case, Kay will beat the crap out of him!" Wynne chirped happily.

This earned her yet another punch from the dark bluenette.

Calming a bit from releasing her anger, Noel frowned at her sister and warned, "You better know what you're doing."

Gold eyes glinted, locking onto her heterochromatic ones, before Kadin responded.

"I do."

The sisters stared each other off for a brief moment before Noel relented with a sigh, "Alright, Din. I'll believe you."

A smile played on the older one's lips, "Thanks, sis."

"Yeah, yeah…" Came the grumble as the younger one ran her fingers through her hair.

The tension dismounted as the girls settled themselves on the couch again.

"Okay. So we've established where he's sleeping." Wynne started, crossing her legs, "Now what?"

"Well," Dakota started with furrowed brows, "I'd still like to know more about the guy."

Her eyes met with Kadin's as she asked seriously, "Where he's from and what of his parents and things like that. After all, he's only a minor."

The tomboy stayed silent, 'How should I answer this…?'

"Tsunayoshi Sawada!" He had murmured, poking his fingers together nervously.

'That time…' Kadin thought to herself, resting her chin on her palm, 'He seemed nervous about telling me his name...'

Tsuna waved his arms rapidly and stammered, "I-It's true! I was named after the Tokugawa shoguns and Sawada-!"

'He didn't appear to be lying since he was quick to try and explain his name.' She continued to muse to herself, '… like he was afraid I wouldn't take him seriously.'

The boy couldn't turn his gaze away as his mouth moved against his will, "Because you're not real."

'And I almost didn't…' Her eyes darkened a bit, 'I'm not real… ka?'

"That was wrong." He had stated.

Her free hand clenched her pants as she exhaled silently, 'But he refuted that statement…'

"In my world, you're considered fake." He had continued.

'… and…' Her thoughts trailed on as her jaws tightened, '… he tried to back me up.'

The light brunette pressed on, "But, you're not fake! You're real!"

Her eyes closed, 'He said… that I was-no-am real.'

"Because-! You exist!"

Her fisted hand trembled.

"You are here!"

Her brows lightly furrowed.

"You're here with me!"

Her breath seemed to hitch.

"So… You are real."

And her heart thumped heavily in her chest.

'I can't risk it.'

Her eyes slowly opened.

'Tsuna… is here for a reason.'

Golden orbs met with three other pairs.

'And I won't let him go 'til I find out why.'

(Extended Ending)

"Okay, wait, so let me get this straight." Dakota rubbed her temples and started slowly, "That kid is not only named after an anime character but he actually came from Japan?"

Kadin simply crossed her arms and watched the gaping light bluenette.

"Plus," Noel added in with furrowed brows, "You know his mom because she's one of your many anime-obsessed e-pals and she asked you to take care of him?"

The tomboy's expression never changed as she locked eyes with her sister.

"And, in addition to that," Wynne continued with a lopsided grin, "You're supposed to tutor him since he's been slacking a lot in school while teaching him the realties of life?"

Once more, Kadin simply stared them down.

Dot. Dot. Dot.

A moment of silence passed by before-

"He's screwed."

-the three girls airily dismissed him.

A secret smirk played across Kadin's lips.

'Plan "Get Them Off Of Tsuna's Back" - Complete.'
