Parallel to Your Heart

By ilYamaTsunali

Chapter 9

The next day…

"Wake-up, Dame-Tsuna…" Came Reborn's voice. Tsuna shifted a bit on his bed before he opened his eyes.

"Eh? Reborn?" He mumbled as he yawned. "What's up?" He said as he sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Don't 'what's up' me." Reborn said with a frown. "Hurry up and get ready. Yamamoto is coming at eight and you don't want to be late for your date."

"Eight? Date?" Tsuna mumbled as he tried to shove those two words into his mind. He was too busy processing the fact that Reborn, for once, did not hit him awake with a hammer.

"That's because I don't want to give you an ugly bruise on your date." Reborn said as though he read his mind.

"Date…" Tsuna said again and slowly his eyes widened. "…with Yamamoto?"

"That's what I said right?" Reborn said with a shrug.

"HIIIE!" Tsuna said as he scrambled out of the bed and ran to the bathroom.

Reborn smirked. "I'm happy to see that he understands the importance of the situation."

Fuuta came in rubbing his eyes, in his hand held a copy of the ranking on the most lovey-dovey places in the amusement park. "Here you go." He said as he yawned.

"Good job Fuuta." Reborn said in approval He smirked when he saw the top 1 in the list was the haunted house. Dame-Tsuna hates haunted houses, but I guess we can work it out… Reborn thought as he took out his cell phone.

"You can go and sleep now Fuuta, we'll call you when we need any more rankings done." Reborn said. Fuuta gave the hit man a sleepy smile before he nodded and trudged back to his room. Reborn dialed Dino's number and after a few rings the blonde boss picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Dino, it's me. How are the preparations going?" Reborn said.

"It's going well, Reborn. I've stationed my men around the amusement park as regular vendors." Dino said proudly.

"Hm, that's good. By the way, have you seen Chrome there yet?" Reborn asked.

"The mist girl?" Dino asked. "Last time I saw her she was being dragged by Haru to do a costume change."

"I see. Well if you see her again, tell her that I want her stationed by the haunted house." Reborn said. "I'll explain the details later."

"Roger." Dino said as Reborn hung up. Suddenly he looked up when he heard Tsuna scream.

"HIIIII! Bianchi! What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be at Gokudera-kun's house?" Tsuna shouted. There were some shuffling noises from the bathroom.

"Now Tsuna. Don't sound so ungrateful… I bought you new clothes for your date." Bianchi said.

"That still doesn't give you the right to barge in the bathroom while I'm showering!" Tsuna shouted back.

"I'm here to help. I bought you a new shampoo as well. It's called the seductive poison." Bianchi said.

"HIIIIII! No way! The last time you made us try your perfume we nearly died! Literally!" Tsuna said in a panicked voice.

"But this time it's a shampoo. And it's perfectly harmless." Bianchi reasoned.

"Then why is it spewing purple fumes?" Tsuna asked.

"You must be imagining things…"

Reborn sighed as he made his way to the bathroom. Sometimes Bianchi can go overboard with her perfumes and shampoos.

So in the end, Tsuna was saved from losing his hair due to Bianchi poisonous shampoo by Reborn. The baby had showed up just in time with a lavender shampoo, successfully convincing the poison scorpion to swap it with a subtler shampoo since Tsuna was too young to use a seductive shampoo.

"Of course my beloved Reborn!" Was Bianchi's enthusiastic reply. So yeah, more or less Tsuna was happy that he didn't die today in the bathroom with a bold head. That would've been embarrassing.

"Eat quickly, Yamamoto's going to arrive soon." Reborn said to the brunet who was staring at the bacon and eggs on his plate.

"Hai… hai…" Tsuna said as he dug into his food. He was just a tad bit suspicious… wondering if Bianchi had somehow tampered his food while he changed. Speaking of the devil, Bianchi just entered the kitchen.

"You look good Tsuna." Bianchi said as she gazed at the brunet. "I was right, the color does suit you."

"Thanks Bianchi." Tsuna said his face heating up just a bit. It wasn't everyday he got a compliment from a girl. Right now, Tsuna was wearing the clothes Bianchi had bought him, and he must say it fitted him perfectly and it also felt nice and comfortable.

The young boss was currently wearing a white sleeveless hoodie. The front buttons were undone to show the black sleeveless t-shirt underneath. He was also wearing a pair of dark jeans with chains accenting the pockets. His footwear was a pair of black sandals and his accessories included a pair of black and white wrist bands. Around his neck hang the chained necklace version of the Vongola ring.

Tsuna chewed slowly as he thought about what would happen today on his very first date with Yamamoto. He cast a suspicious glance towards Reborn.

He cleared his throat. "So Reborn, what are you planning to do today?"

"Hm? Why do you ask Dame-Tsuna?" Reborn said with a raised eyebrow.

"U-Uhm, n-nothing… j-just curious." Tsuna replied nervously.

"Actually today, I was planning to hold a meeting with the other arcobalenos regarding you." Reborn said as he drank his espresso. "I'd like to see if somehow our powers can help you."

"R-Really?" Tsuna asked his eyes widening and shinning with hope.

"Don't get your hopes up." Reborrn said as he frowned. "The situation is already confusing, we cannot guarantee that you'll get back to your world safely or in one piece."

Immediately, the light in Tsuna's eyes dimmed as he looked down at his food. "I-I see."

"Tsuna, you should finish up and then brush your teeth." Bianchi said trying to lighten the mood. "Yamamoto will be here in 2 minutes." She added as she looked at the clock. The brunet nodded as he took one last bite of his bacon before he stood up and went to the washroom.

"I hope this date will turn out as a success." Bianchi murmured as she sat next to Reborn.

"In the worst case scenario they could end up breaking up…" Reborn said as he put down his cup. "And one of them will hate the other forever."

"That doesn't sound good at all." Bianchi said with a sigh.

Tsuna was looking at his reflection as he brushed his teeth. His eyes reflected sadness and slight disappointment, his face as slightly pale and his eyebrows were furrowed due to thinking.

Stop it, get a hold of yourself. Tsuna thought as he lightly slapped himself. He forced his mind to think about something else. He focused instead on the upcoming date.

As though he just realized what was going to happen, Tsuna's face exploded into red and his eyes widened in panic. HIIIEE! I'm going on a date with Yamamoto!

You just realized that? A mocking voice said at the back of his mind. Tsuna ignored the voice as he put down his brush and picked up his glass to gurgle.

Calm down… calm down… You've been on a date before! Yeah! You and Kyoko-chan had gone to the zoo… But then Tsuna sweat dropped when he realized how that date went downhill fast. He shook his head as he continued to gurgle. Everything's fine… He thought.

Suddenly the doorbell rang, surprising Tsuna and causing him to spit out the water in his mouth and unto the sink.

"Oh Yamamoto Takeshi." He heard Bianchi say from the living room.

"Ahaha! Yoh Gokudera's sister!" Came an incredibly cheerful voice which could only belong to Tsuna's rain guardian.

"Yamamoto, you're just in time." Reborn said.

"Yeah, I was sort of excited." Yamamoto said happily. Tsuna felt himself blush all over again. "So… where's Tsuna?"

"He's in the bathroom. He's just finishing up." Reborn replied before he shouted to the direction of the first floor washroom. "Oi Dame-Tsuna! Yamamoto's here!"

Tsuna nervously took a towel and wiped his mouth before he slowly opened the door.

"Here he is now…" Bianchi said as Tsuna stepped out. At first, the only people Tsuna could see were Bianchi and Reborn but then the two stepped to the side revealing Yamamoto.

"Yoh Tsuna! Ready to go?" Yamamoto said as he smiled at the brunet. Tsuna's eyes widened as he felt his heart skip a beat. Yamamoto looked incredibly handsome in the casual clothes he was wearing.

The rain guardian was wearing a slightly long-sleeved light blue shirt with vine imprints on the side and on top of that shirt was a casually opened, short sleeved-with collar, dark blue-vest. He was wearing a pair of dark blue pants and his footwear was a pair of brand new white and blue sneakers. Around his neck hung the chain of the Vongola rain ring.

"Wow, Tsuna you look great!" Yamamoto suddenly said, causing the young brunet to snap out of his trance.

"T-Thanks." Tsuna said with a light blush. "You look great too."

"Ahaha! Really?" Yamamoto said with a grin. "That means a lot coming from you." He added the last part seriously. Tsuna could literally feel his head spin at the sudden phrase thrown at him. He stumbled a bit as he stepped back. The emotions were too strong to handle.

"The two of you should get going." Reborn said as he made a pretense of looking at the clock. "The amusement park should be open by now. Yamamoto do you still have the tickets?"

"Ah." Yamamoto said as he showed the pair of tickets Reborn gave him yesterday.

Reborn nodded in approval. "Good. Now the two of you go ahead."

"Take care of Tsuna for us, Yamamoto Takeshi." Bianchi said.

"Sure." Yamamoto said with a charming smile. He reached out and took hold of Tsuna's hand. "Let's go Tsuna." He said as he tugged the brunet to the door. Tsuna didn't protest as he was dragged gently away from Reborn and Bianchi's gazes.

"Good luck." Bianchi whispered as Tsuna passes by her. He failed to notice Bianchi slipping a container of 'certain' pills and some mittens, in the brunet's pocket. Tsuna looked at Bianchi incredulously, suspicious by her words.

"You're gonna need it." She mouthed as Tsuna and Yamamoto went out of the house.

"This is it!" Yamamoto said cheerfully as he smiled at the brunet he was holding hands with. Tsuna looked up at the tall rides and gulped. It was going to be a long and terrifying day.

"Welcome sirs! We're happy to have you today!" Came an awfully familiar voice. Tsuna turned around expecting to see someone he knew but instead he saw someone dressed up in a big rabbit mascot.

"Thanks! It's good to be here." Yamamoto responded to the smiling bunny rabbit.

The rabbit nodded. "This way to the line please." Came the familiar voice. Before Tsuna could pinpoint who the voice belonged to, he found himself and Yamamoto being shoved to the entry line.

"Tickets." The guy collecting the tickets said as he smiled. Tsuna's eyes widened, the guy looked familiar… but then again he couldn't be sure since the guy was wearing the employee clothes of the amusement park (instead of the mafia attire)…

"Here." Yamamoto said handing their tickets to the guy.

"Oh! It looks like you bought the special tickets sir!" The guy said as he inspected the ticket.

"Special tickets?" Yamamoto asked curiously. The guy nodded as he signaled for Yamamoto and Tsuna to extend their arms. The two did, and the guy attached a special watch to their wrists.

"When you enter the amusement park and go on rides all you have to do is show this watch to the facilitators and they will let you ride free of charge!" The guy said with a winning smile. "The food and drinks are included, but of course this only applies inside the amusement park."

"Wow, that sounds cool!" Yamamoto said with a charming smile. Beside him, Tsuna nodded at their luck of having special tickets.

"Okay, now that I have fastened these, you may go inside." The guy said. Yamamoto pulled Tsuna along as the brunet tried to get one more glimpse on the familiar guy. However the guy already turned his back.

"Ivan-san, have you told Dino-san that the lovebirds are inside the perimeter?" The bunny rabbit mascot said as she took off her hat. It was Haru.

"Yes, Haru-san." Ivan, one of Dino's men said as he sent a message to his boss.

"Good." Haru said nodding with determination. "Now, the lovey-dovey date mission is about to commence!"

"There are a lot of great rides aren't there Tsuna?" Yamamoto said as he smiled to the brunet.

"Y-Yeah… T-There's so many I-I d-don't know what to ride first." Tsuna lied nervously. Actually it wasn't a total lie. The only thing he knew was what rides not to ride on first.

"How about we go on the merry-go-round?" Yamamoto said simply. Tsuna looked up shocked. The merry-go-round? But that ride was for kids… a ride that Tsuna secretly liked.

"Uhm, but Yamamoto-" Tsuna began uncertainly.

"Maa… maa… It'll be fun!" Yamamoto said as he grinned at the young boss. Instantly Tsuna's humiliation for riding such childish rides vanished and pretty soon he found himself excited at the prospect of riding the merry-go-round in public.

"Two please." Yamamoto said as he showed both his and Tsuna's special watches. The guy scanned the watches before he gave an approving nod.

"Go ahead." He said in a gruff voice. Yamamoto gave Tsuna a big smile as he tugged the brunet to the ride.

"Which horse would you like Tsuna?" Yamamoto said as he stared at the rotating horses.

"Uhm, the orange one I guess." Tsuna said pointing at one.

"Okay then!" Yamamoto climbed up to that horse and extended his hand at Tsuna, who took it immediately. "After you." Yamamoto said, and soon Tsuna found himself sitting on the orange horse with Yamamoto riding on the horse behind him.

Tsuna blushed when he saw some young boys and girls pointing at him as he rode.

"This is nice isn't it Tsuna?" Yamamoto said from behind. Tsuna turned around and he almost forgot his embarrassment when he saw Yamamoto giving him a charming smile.

"Y-Yeah… I-It is…" Tsuna said as he smiled back happily, causing Yamamoto to blush slightly.

Meanwhile…

"Hello?" Byakuran said as he leaned against a wall near the merry-go-round ride. "Oh, arcobaleno! It's you! So? What do you want me to do?"

Byakuran listened to the voice on the other end as a smile slowly formed on his face. "Ooh, that sounds dangerous and fun, are you sure?"

The voice on the other side gave a noise of confirmation and Byakuran straightened up. "Okay then! I'll tell my men who are assigned to the merry-go-round. Talk to you later!"

And with that, Byakuran hung up. He started typing a message on his phone. Before he pressed sent, he gave one last look at the merry-go-round.

"This is going to be interesting." Byakuran said as he pressed the sent button.

"Hm, that's strange…" Tsuna observed as he looked at the rest of the horses. "We're the only ones around… I wonder why."

"Maybe the kids got tired of the merry-go-round?" Yamamoto offered a helpful suggestion.

"Yeah, maybe-" Tsuna said but then he was cut off when he suddenly felt the merry-go-round speed up. He lunged forward dangerously due to the sudden force.

"Tsuna!" Yamamoto yelled out.

"Y-Yamamoto, the r-ride is…" Tsuna said trying to shout back. However, the merry-go-round rotated faster and the brunet was forced to hang on tighter to the pole of his horse.

"Hang in there Tsuna! I'll come and get you!" He heard Yamamoto say. Tsuna opened his mouth in protest but then the force of the wind knocked the breath out of him, causing him to keep quiet.

Several seconds, or it could've been minutes, later… The young Vongola suddenly felt a strong pair of arms circling his waist. He looked up warily and to his relief, he saw Yamamoto looking down at him in worry.

"Are you alright?" Yamamoto said, struggling to speak because of the wind pressure. Tsuna nodded numbly as Yamamoto's hold on him tightened.

"Good." Yamamoto said his voice serious. "Hold on to me. We're going to get out of here." Not wanting to argue, Tsuna hesitantly let go of the pole and clutched onto Yamamoto's front shirt.

Feeling the brunet clutch onto him, Yamamoto carefully got off of the horse and he buried Tsuna deeper into his chest before he jumped off of the malfunctioned ride. The moment the two were off of the ride, the merry-go-round slowed down before it went into a complete stop.

Yamamoto landed on the ground a bit roughly as he tried to keep his balance at the same time keep Tsuna from being hurt.

"Sirs! Are you okay?" Came the worried voice of the facilitator of the ride. Yamamoto looked up and smiled kindly at the man.

"Ahaha! Yeah we're fine! We survived somehow!" Yamamoto said with a grin. The facilitator sighed in relief. He looked at the brunet in Yamamoto's arms and immediately thought of something.

"I'll go get you some water!" He said helpfully as he rushed off. Yamamoto nodded in thanks as he carried the scared brunet to a nearby bench.

"Hey, are you okay Tsuna?" Yamamoto asked the brunet who was still curled up to his chest.

"I-I'm fine…" Tsuna mumbled as he slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Yamamoto's worried amber ones. He felt relief flood into him as he slowly gained back his courage. "I was just shocked that's all."

"Well, it was a bit frightening." Yamamoto said as he laughed. The familiar soothing laugh made Tsuna feel better as he slowly released Yamamoto's shirt from his death grip.

"A bit…" Tsuna repeated as he shook his head disbelievingly. "You're eccentric. You might as well say it wasn't frightening at all."

"That's not true." Yamamoto said with a frown. "It was frightening. I thought you got hurt, and I admit… that scared me for a second."

Tsuna looked up at Yamamoto wondering if he was joking or not. But the amber eyes held no lies, it just stared at Tsuna earnestly, as though it was drinking up the fact that Tsuna was safe. Once again, Tsuna found himself blushing furiously at the prospect.

But then, the moment was ruined when the facilitator arrived with the promised water.

"Here you go sir." He said as he handed the water bottle to Tsuna. "Can I get you anything else?"

"Nah, we're good." Yamamoto said in a friendly manner. The guy nodded, bowing and apologizing frantically before leaving.

Yamamoto looked at his watch. "Well it's a bit early but I guess you wanna go home Tsuna?"

Tsuna's eyes widened and the proposition and he shook his head frantically. "No, I still want to go on more rides…" His eyes shadowed as he whispered the last part. "…with you…"

This time it was Yamamoto's turn to be shock as he looked at the blushing brunet beside him. He couldn't help the smile on his face as he placed his arms around the boss and hugged him. He could feel Tsuna freeze in shock but he ignored it.

"I understand." Yamamoto whispered to the other. And then he leant back and gave Tsuna a radiant smile. "Let's get going then!" He said enthusiastically as he stood up. Tsuna nodded numbly as he also stood up. Yamamoto reached out and grabbed his hand as he led the other to another ride.

"So? Was the plan successful?" Came Reborn's voice from the phone. Byakuran looked at the couple smiling at each other and smiled brightly.

"It sure was Reborn-chan~!" Byakuran said. "Tsunayoshi-kun seems like he's understood his feelings a bit more now."

"A bit is not good enough. Initiate the second part." Came Reborn's amused voice.

"Roger." Byakuran said as he hung up. He dialed another number. After the third ring, the person at the other side picked up.

"Hello?"

"Dino-kun, the arcobaleno has given his thumbs up for the next phase." Byakuran said with an amused smile.

"Copy that, Byakuran." Dino said and from his tone, it was clear he was smiling. "We'll contact you when the second phase is over. Be on standby."

"I know." Byakuran said still smiling. "Good luck."

"Ah…"

"Here." Yamamoto said as he gave Tsuna one of the two crepes he bought.

"Thanks." Tsuna said giving the other a thankful smile. You can't imagine his relief when Yamamoto suggested that they look around the food stands for a while before going on the next ride. It's as if Yamamoto knew what he was feeling and was considering his well-being first.

The two of them sat on the bench for a while as they talked. Dino passed by in front of them wearing a cap to cover his face and hair, and he was wearing a blue jacket as well while he held a cup of juice in his hand.

"Target spotted." Dino whispered into the mini microphone installed in the collar of the jacket. "Be on standby mode. Be ready on my signal."

"Roger." Came Haru's voice on Dino's ear piece. Dino walked towards Yamamoto and Tsuna who were conversing. The plan was to spill the juice on Tsuna's hoodie and get him to go to the C.R. and away from Yamamoto for a while. When the brunet was gone, the real part of their plan commences.

However, just as Dino was striding over towards Tsuna he suddenly tripped causing the juice to fly out of his hands and towards himself.

SPLASH!

The juice landed on top of Dino's hat and the cold liquid seeped into the fabric and right into the boss' hair. The Cavallone couldn't help the groan of disappointment and disgust as he sat up. (Meanwhile… behind the bushes, some of Dino's watching men face-palmed themselves)

"Are you alright?" Came a voice, causing Dino to look up. Yamamoto and Tsuna were looking at him in worry.
"U-Uhm, I-I'm fine. A-A bit wet though." He said as he cleared his throat trying to disguise his voice.

"You should get that juice cleaned off before it stains." Yamamoto suggested.

"Y-You're right." Dino said, thinking fast on what to do. "W-Why don't you accompany me?" He said pointing at Tsuna. "I don't know which way the restroom is…" He said innocently.

"Eh? Me?" Tsuna said pointing to himself.

"Y-Yeah… And can we please hurry? My hair is starting to feel sticky." Dino said pleadingly. Tsuna exchanged looks with Yamamoto who gave him an encouraging nod.

"Go ahead. I'll wait by the bench." Yamamoto said with a smile. Tsuna nodded as he extended a hand to Dino who took it gratefully.

"Let's go…" Tsuna said leading the way. Yamamoto stared after the two before he turned around and went back to sitting on the bench. Dino gave Yamamoto a side-way glance before he whispered to his collar…

"Couple separated… Commence mission: Jealousy."
