Author's note: Finally finished the rewrite of the next chapter! I hope the mass delete never happens again! Sorry, I was gonna finish this yesterday but my sisters had to use the computer and papa took the laptop somewhere. Haha!

Anyway, to all 8027 fans and other readers! Like last year, I made a Christmas 8027 challenge and I would like to invite everyone to it as well! I want to treat everyone with a flood of 8027 stories for Christmas! And it would be great if everyone would participate! Haha!

So yes, after this will be the update with Personal Guardian. I'm not sure when I'll update it, it depends when my sisters stop hogging the computer and we have another major exam coming up in a week. I have three one-shots lined up and on December 25 I'll post my version for the challenge!

So, to the story…

This is the Tsuna who is in the amusement park with hi8s 'boyfriend' Yamamoto.

Previously…

I like you…The last words HDW Tsuna thought were thrown to the winds, echoing silently… with no hope of anyone hearing it. However, with Tsuna clinging to Yamamoto like life depended on it, no one really cared. All they really wished was for the moment between the two to last forever…

Chapter 15

"Never and I mean never!" Tsuna said as he shivered. "Never again will I ride a roller coaster! HDW mode or not!"

Beside him, Yamamoto chuckled as he pulled the younger teen closer. Ever since coming off the roller coaster Tsuna hadn't let go of his shirt even once.

"Maa… maa... Tsuna. Never is a long time." Yamamoto said with a wink. "You may hold a fancy for roller coasters in the future. You never know."

"I doubt that." Tsuna said as he sighed. But he clung to Yamamoto even more, trying to get more comfortable. For a moment, the baseball idol was stunned at the contact but he smiled softly and ruffled Tsuna's hair.

"Saa, where do you want to go next?" The rain guardian stated as he and Tsuna strolled leisurely through the amusement park.

"Anywhere that isn't the horror house." The brunet grumbled and Yamamoto chuckled.

"Aw, come on it isn't so bad…" Yamamoto stated as he tried to cheer the brunet up. Tsuna did crack a smile but he shook his head politely.

"Sorry but still no."

"Haha, you're so cute when you're scared!"

"Y-Yamamoto!"

"There they are, pyon." Ken stated as he peered behind the tree and vending machine he was hiding. With him was Chikusa.

"Ah, now the problem is how do we separate him from that guy." Chikusa said in his usual monotone voice as he drank a can of cola.

"Look mommy! It's a werewolf! Can I grab its tail mommy?" A child shouted behind them and Ken froze.

"Not now dear. Don't you want ice cream?" The mother ushered the other.

"ICE CREAM!" The kid screamed, distracted.

Ken relaxed and he straightened up as he crossed his arms. "Damn it, pyon! Why do we have to wear such embarrassing costumes, pyon?" He growled menacingly. True to what the kid said, Ken indeed looked like a werewolf. However he just actually activated his special skill: Wolf Channel. He still wore the same ragged Kokuyo uniform he usually ran around with, only more ragged.

"And what part of that is a costume?" Chikusa adjusted his glasses. Chikusa on the other hand, looked like his usual self except he was wearing a vampire costume. He was wearing tuxedo pants and shoes, and a long-sleeved shirt. A black and red cloak was fastened on his shoulders and he was wearing fake fangs too. To top off his look was the emotionless expression he had on his face. Epic.

"Gyah! A vampire!" A little girl squealed as she ran to them. Chikusa turned emotionlessly.

"Boo." He said and the little girl squealed as she ran to her father.

"Weird, brats." Ken stated with a huff. "What do they see in a four-eyed kappa like you, pyon?" He grumbled. "Besides, vampires don't say 'boo'. Ghosts do that, pyon."

"Focus Ken. We're not having a popularity contest with the kids." Chikusa stated as he turned back to their targets who had rested on a nearby bench.

"Relax, pyon…" Ken said as he stretched his arms. "I already thought of it and Mukuro-san approved of my idea." Ken spitted out his Wolf fangs and replaced them with a new one. "Leopard Channel!" A leopard mark appeared on his face.

"Hn." Chikusa gave Ken his can of cola and stepped back into the darkness as Ken readied his position. "Well, I'll meet you back at the haunted house."

"Count on it, pyon." Ken growled.

Tsuna straightened up in alert as he sensed something or someone staring at him predatorily. Yamamoto looked at his boyfriend in wonder, wondering why he suddenly became tense.

"What's up?" Yamamoto asked. Then Tsuna turned to look at the vending machine. "Are you thirsty?"

"N-No-I-" Tsuna said but Yamamoto had already stood up.

"Wait here, I'll get us something to drink." Yamamoto smiled with a thumbs up. He jogged over to the machine just as Tsuna stood up to stop him.

"W-Wait, no-" But then just as Yamamoto walked toward the vending machine, a green and yellow blur passed by him and towards Tsuna. The rain guardian was surprised by the sudden wind but he didn't turn back until-

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EE! YAMAMOTO!" The rain guardian turned just in time to see something very fast stealing Tsuna away.

"Tsuna-?" Yamamoto called out as he began running. However a crushed can was suddenly thrown at him, causing him to nearly trip over it.

"If you want him back, come to the horror house, pyon!" The stranger that kidnapped Tsuna shouted as Yamamoto slowly lost sight of him. "You better come, pyon!"

"Yamamoto!" Tsuna's voice grew fainter as they disappeared through the crowds of people.

Yamamoto's run slowed down to a walk, his hand raised as he stared in surprise and confusion at what just happened.

"Wait, did he say horror house?" The rain said as his amber eyes widened.

"Wait, did you say horror house?" Tsuna screeched as he tried to struggled in Ken's hold. He was practically flying at the speed they were going. "Put me down! I don't wanna go there! I'm gonna die from fright alone!"

"You're overreacting, pyon." Ken rolled his eyes as he slowed down. "Nothing will hurt you in there!" The brunet watched familiar places go by and he stuggled even more when he realized with horror they were getting nearer to their destination.

"Or so you say! They don't need to hurt me to kill me! They're faces are enough to do that!" Tsuna struggled but then he stopped when Ken suddenly stopped in front of a familiar looking girl. The brunet gulped and paled when he saw the scary and looming building of the horror house.

"At the back. Use the 'special entrance'." She said quietly. She was wearing a red and violet demon girl's outfit complete with mini black wings, tail, and sharp staff. Wait. Why did that staff look familiar? And that eye patch…?

"I know that, stupid girl." Ken said as he ran to the back. Tsuna saw mist coming from the staff just as Ken turned the corner to head to the back of the horror house.

"Let me go! Help! Someone help me!" Tsuna shouted and by instinct, the brunet shouted, "Yamamoto!"

Ken scoffed at the name Tsuna called out to while the brunet's eyes widened at what he suddenly said before he blushed self-consciously.

"I-I u-uhm-" Tsuna began to explain but Ken didn't need an explanation as he opened a door hidden on the ground.

"Save your excuses Vongola. If I were you, keep your mouth shut while you fall or you'll bite your tongue, pyon." Ken said before he threw the slightly light mass into the dark place.

"Vongola? Wait who- HIIIIEEEE!" Tsuna's scream echoed throughout the space he was thrown to while Ken whistled at the fall. He heard a dull thump at the bottom and assumed that the brunet had already reached the bottom.

"Stay put and wait for your boyfriend, pyon!" Ken called out before he closed the door and dusted off his hands. "Now, onto the next step."

"Stay put and wait for your boyfriend, pyon!"

Tsuna blushed as he opened his mouth about to retort but then his eyes widened in fear when the door to the entrance closed and darkness suddenly surrounded him. The young Vongola suppressed the need to shout and he held back tears as he felt around the cold musty floor.

Calm down, calm down… Tsuna took deep breaths as his eyes tried to adjust desperately. Everything's gonna be fine, Yamamoto will be here soon. He told himself as he shivered. Strangely enough, that thought calmed him down and he took comfort from the fact that Yamamoto at least knew where he was.

"That's right, everything will be fine. Yamamoto will come and save me…" Tsuna assured himself getting braver at the mere thought and mention of his not-so boyfriend boyfriend. "I just have to stay put."

Easier said than done.

A cold wind suddenly and unable to help himself, the brunet felt goosebumps on his arms out of fear.

"Not a ghost… not a ghost…" Tsuna mumbled desperately. He backed up trying to get a hold of himself. His back met with something cold. He looked up and saw a spot of light not far.

A customer? Tsuna thought hopefully as he called out. "E-Excuse m-me!"

The light turned to him and Tsuna blinked, slightly blinded. "Uhm, excuse me do you know where-"

"Hey…" The voice sounded croaky and old... that Tsuna froze. The spotlight slowly moved from his face to the face of the person holding it. A wrinkled, and frightening face met the brunet's sight. "Have you seen-?"

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE E! A floating head!" Tsuna shouted as he got up and ran as fast as he could. The old lady turned as she felt the brunet pass by her.

"How rude. I was just looking for my grandson! Hmph! Young people these days…" She cleared her throat trying to get rid of her hoarse voice. "Oh my I'm so parched. Don't the people here offer free drinks? I'm a senior citizen you know! I deserve those things!" She waved her flashlight around as she continued on.

Yamamoto was going through the park of people in a fast pace. He would've been faster but clingy girls would often stop him, flirt with him, and consume his time. Of course, Yamamoto, being the nice person he was, would smile and talk with them for a bit before excusing himself. But there were times when the girls just wouldn't let him go.

"I'm here with my boyfriend." Yamamoto said pointedly and at those words girls would just let him go with disbelieving looks.

"Why was it always the handsome ones?" They would say.

Of course at those words, Yamamoto would smile to himself in humor.

Because it was Tsuna. He would think, as though that was enough reason. When he thought of the brunet, worry immediately clouded those amber eyes. He knew that Tsuna never liked anything remotely scary and the brunet's easily scared nature would often get him into unthinkable situations. For example, nearly being dragged into the spirit world by Romeo's ghost.

Now that was a scary thought.

"Excuse me." Yamamoto called out to a strangely small (baby-sized) old lady. "Do you know which direction the haunted house is?"

"Ohoho~! My, such a tall boy." Yes, you've guessed it: Reborn in one of his famous get-ups. "The haunted house you say?"

"Yes." Amber eyes shone with worry. "Someone important to me was taken there and I wanted to catch up with him."

"Oh that sounds like big trouble. I believe the direction of the haunted house is there, dearie. Ohoho~!" Reborn said pointing at northeast.

"Thank you." Yamamoto gave a small bow to the elderly before rushing off.

"Reborn!" Dino whispered out to his crazy tutor when Yamamoto left."What did you do that for? Thank goodness he didn't recognize you!"

"Ohoho~! What are you saying? Who is that Reborn person you're talking about?"

"You get too into your cosplays, now come back here!" Dino said as he crept out of his hiding place with a cap and sunglasses on. Reborn kicked his old student in the stomach. "ARGH!"

"It's not nice to order the elderly." Reborn said as he dusted his hands."Besides, I got something good out of this."

The arcobaleno smirked as he hid the recorder in his pocket.

Tsuna continued to run in the dark inside of the haunted house. Slowly, his eyes were getting used to the darkness so he was able to avoid bumping into strangely shaped things he had a feeling were the main attraction of the said house.

The brunet continued to run, instinctively turning to one corner until-

"Ah!" A girl's voice snapped him out of his fear as he tumbled back in surprise. It looks like he bumped into someone.

"Are you okay?" A familiar voice suddenly asked, but it wasn't directed at Tsuna but at the girl.

The brunet felt his heart skip a bit at the tone. He would know that voice anywhere! It was Yama-

"I-I'm fine Keshi-kun." The girl said and Tsuna's heart fell at that name.

It wasn't Yamamoto after all. The guy nodded before he looked at Tsuna, now that the brunet squinted his eyes, this person was short than Yamamoto, and it seemed like he had violet eyes rather than amber.

"And you? Are you okay?" The guy asked and Tsuna nodded.

"Y-Yes." Tsuna bowed. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into your girlfriend!"

The guy chuckled and a shiver ran down Tsuna's spine. The laugh was too similar with his rain guardian's. "It's fine. Anyway, why were you running around alone in here? Did you lose your boyfriend?"

Tsuna sighed. "More or less." But then Tsuna snapped his head up. "W-Wait, what do you mean boyfriend? How did you…?"

"Hm?" The girl tilted her head. "But aren't you a girl? You're the same height as me."

Somewhere in the inside, Tsuna felt his man pride get hit. "Er, no. Actually I'm a boy."

"Really?" Tsuna could see that the guy's eyes were wide. "You had me fooled with your voice and height. Haha! How interesting."

Tsuna sweat dropped. Was this couple indirectly insulting him?

"Anyway, why don't we keep you company until you find your partner?" The girl spoke up and Tsuna felt relieved that finally he had found normal people for company.

'Yes, i-if you don't mind!" Tsuna said.

"Haha, we don't mind at all." The guy said as he looped an arm around the girl. Tsuna felt his stomach churn uncomfortably. The guy looked and seemed too much like Yamamoto. Seeing him place an arm around the girl like that…

The brunet's eyes shadowed as he walked behind the couple.

He didn't notice the smirk and the smile on the guy and girl's face.

Kufufufu…

"Geh, what's taking that annoying guardian so long, pyon?" Ken growled as he looked through the bushes with Chikusa by his side.

"It's your fault for running away too fast Ken." Chikusa sighed. "Besides, he's near I can feel it."

Just as the other said that, Yamamoto ran up to the haunted house looking around.

"Tsuna?" He called out, as he looked around. Amber eyes looked at the looming figure of the house and frowned. The brunet was probably inside. He walked up to the line, intending to go inside to finally find his kidnapped boss.

"Finally, he's here, pyon. Now Mukuro-san can proceed with the plan properly, pyon!" Ken said to Chikusa who sighed.

"It won't be that easy." He said and Ken turned to what the pretend vampire was pointing out.

"I'm sorry, but only couples can enter the haunted house." The girl at the entrance said apologetically to the baseball idol who looked confused. Girls in the line, with their boyfriends, looked at the solo athlete in interest.

"Ah but, I'm actually looking for someone who got lost in there. And I can't seem to contact him too." Yamamoto said as he held up his phone and he unknowingly made a face that made all girls within fifty miles want him. The girl at the entrance gulped at the rain's natural charm. Girls buzzed excitedly at the line while their boyfriends became worried at the unexpected and seemingly single rival that appeared.

The girl closed her eyes trying to block the image of the handsome teen. "I-I'm sorry but it's in the regulations. You have to have a partner with you when you enter-"

"Hey! How about I become your partner?" A girl suddenly spoke up as she stepped out of the line. The boy she was with, looked shocked, and opened his mouth in protest. But then he shut up at the glare given to him by her.

Ken gaped at the strangely angelic looking girl that made her way up to Yamamoto. She had that air of being confident about her looks and that men were all slaves to her beauty and charisma. Unfortunately for her, no matter how pretty she was, Yamamoto wouldn't even look at her twice.

But unfortunately for us (and the people who made this date plan), Yamamoto really needed a partner to get in.

"What should we do?" Chikusa said calmly. "The decimo will already be upset with what Mukuro-sama is doing, add to the fact that the real Yamamoto Takeshi goes in there with a clingy and beautiful girl… The plan will be ruined."

Ken growled lowly. Girls were annoying indeed, breaking the perfect plan he made with Mukuro-san! He looked around, trying to find a hideous not-so caring girl looking for a partner to get in the horror house but did-not-care-about-who-she-went-in-with-type.

That's when he saw a girl reapplying her lipstick.

Eyes lit up in anticipation. He had a crazy idea.

"Ken?" Chikusa called out when the other suddenly ran off. His eyes widened when he saw Ken tackle an innocent girl to the ground.

What was the other planning?

Yamamoto looked around, briefly wondering if there was another option aside from the girl in front of him. Other girls became hesitant and self-conscious at the appearance of the pretty girl, while the rest was trying to prevent their boyfriends from ogling the said girl.

"So?" The girl asked, raising a perfect eyebrow.

Yamamoto sighed, seeing he had no choice. He smiled, making the girl in front of him blush slightly. "Well if you don't mind I-!"

"WAIT, PYON!"Came a strangely forced high voice. Yamamoto looked up and so did the girl. Chikusa was standing not far, eyes still blank but slightly humorous.

Ken was standing in front of him with a frown. Normally this wouldn't be that impressive but there was one thing different about him…

He was wearing lipstick…

"Ehem, I am going with that annoying Vongola, pyon!" He said with his false high voice. Yamamoto blinked in surprise and the girl gave him a glare.

"You?" She said in a mocking tone. "You expect him to choose you over me?" She laughed as Ken growled with a fierce blush of embarrassment on his face. "Besides you're not even a gi-!"

"I'll go with him." Yamamoto smiled but then he laughed and corrected himself."I mean, her."

The girl's jaw dropped as her eyes widened in shock. "Wha-?"

"HA!" Ken said in amusement as he went up to Yamamoto. The athlete chuckled a she turned to the girl at the entrance, a beatific smile on his face. "With this, it's fine right?"

The haunted house coordinator just nodded in a daze as the idol entered with his not-so girl-like partner.

"Hurry up, pyon!" Ken said, leading the way and Yamamoto laughed.

"Haha, you don't have to tell me that twice." The sportsman grinned.

Chikusa just sighed at the antics of his partner as he turned to inform the others of the change of plan, leaving a hysterical and pretty girl rampaging in front of the haunted house because Yamamoto chose a guy over her.

Of course he would. Any sane guy would do the same.

The brunet shivered as he continued to go deeper inside the haunted house. The strange couple was still walking ahead of him, having hushed conversations couples normally do and holding hands. Being with these two people, one reminding him so strongly of Yamamoto, made his stomach churn and he felt knots being twisted in his heart when he would see the guy comfort the girl who'd get scared sometimes.

"Uhm," Tsuna finally spoke up as he looked around. "Are we getting any closer to the exit, yet?" He asked and the guy looked back at him and grinned. A warm feeling entered the Vongola's heart…

…at the same time a creepy tingle ran down his spine.

"Well, we're not really sure. The guide told us towalk around and eventually we'll find clues that'll lead us to the exit." The guy said happily and Tsuna sweat dropped.

In other words, these guys were lost too. Typical. It was so like Tsuna to find himself with a bunch of people who were lost too.

"It's amazing though…" Tsuna kept the conversation going as he looked around. "We still haven't run into any of the 'ghosts and ghouls' set up in here."

"Saa… maybe it's because they're unconsciously keeping away from a dangerous presence." The girl said without looking at the brunet. Tsuna raised an eyebrow at the queer statement.

"Maa, maa… Everything will be fine, right Tsuna?" The guy reached out and held the brunet's hand. Tsuna's heart skipped a beat but at the same time he felt dread enter his heart.

"W-Wait, how did you know my name?" Tsuna wanted to pull away but the touch was so familiar… It was so warm…

...and yet so creepy and foreign.

"Hm?" The guy tilted his head in such a familiar way that Tsuna did a double-take. "Of course I know you're name. I love you after all!"

Tsuna's heart skipped a beat. The voice was Yamamoto's. It sounded so much like Yamamoto!

…And yet it wasn't Yamamoto.

"W-Who are you?" Tsuna pulled his hand away as he stepped back. His face was pale from fear, his knees shaking.

The guy laughed an exhilarating laugh as he turned, the girl stood stationary beside to him. "Who am I? I'm the one you love of course!"

"No! You're not him!" Tsuna shouted out loudly."You're not Ya-!" Brown eyes widened and the brunet gasped as he covered his mouth in shock.

"I'm not who?" The guy tilted his head, lips smiling at the brunet. Tsuna's eyes flickered desperately as he remembered Yamamoto's gentle smiles and his heartbeat sped up.

Yamamoto… Yamamoto… He whispered the name of his rain guardian like a mantra. I'm scared. There's someone here that's so like you, but he's not you... I know that. The young boss stepped back fearfully as the guy advanced on him, the same way Yamamoto walked, the same smile Yamamoto had.

Yamamoto, I want to see you.

"Tsuna?" The guy extended a hand. The brunet shook his head. His fear meter was at its limit. There was a weird guy in front of him that was claiming to be someone Tsuna loved, which confused the brunet greatly since he was pretty sure that the person he loved was…

…not Kyoko-chan.

A female voice in his head made the brunet jump.

"Tsuna…" The guy was still advancing towards himthe brunet tripped but before he could fall to the floor, the Yamamoto-like person caught him.

He felt like he was in Yamamoto's arms. The violet eyes flickered and turned into amber. Tsuna's heart was beating so fast he whimpered as he saw the face of his rain above his, smiling like always. And then-

-he was suddenly leaning down.

The brunet froze in the other's arms, not knowing what to do. He felt warm and protected in the athlete's arms.

As inches turned into centimeters, Tsuna closed his eyes and-

"TSUNA!"

Brown eyes snapped open and hands automatically pushed away the impostor in front of him, causing himself to fall down.

The Yamamoto look-alike stumbled back and the brunet got up to his feet shakily. He looked at the couple and saw, to his fear, that mist was gathering among the two. Taking one last boost of courage, the brunet turned and ran like his butt was on fire.

The guy watched the young boss ran off and sighed tiredly as the mist fully enveloped his form.

A familiar pineapple-haired teen took his place as the girl behind him, approached.

"Oya, that charade was more tiring than I thought." Mukuro said as Chrome turned back to herself."That was a nice touch you did my dear Chrome. Whispering in his mind so he could understand…"

Chrome blushed and nodded happily at the praise. Her violet eye turned to look at the way Tsuna left.

"Don't worry. I'm sure, even someone as dense as that Vongola Decimo will soon understand." Mukuro stated and Chrome sighed and nodded.

I hope he does… Chrome thought to herself

"Tsuna!" Yamamoto called out. He was wandering alone inside the haunted hose. The moment he entered his partner vanished as though intending not to get in his way. Thankfully, not many people got in the way of his search. The darkness and atmosphere of the house helped on that part. No one could see him, and many feared that he was part of the attraction.

"Tsuna?" Yamamoto said worriedly as he turned a corner and looked around, amber eyes narrowing. His eyes had already gotten used to the dark and he was using his vision as much as he could to find his boss, but-

"Tsu- oof!" The athlete let out a sharp breathe when something- someone suddenly bumped into him. He tried to hold his balance and ask if the person he bumped into was alright, but arms suddenly wound around his neck, not letting him go.

Amber eyes widened when he saw a familiar tuff of brown hair and felt the shaking figure in his arms. "Tsuna?" He said worriedly as he placed his arms around the boss."Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"

He felt Tsuna's head shake and he wanted to sigh in relief but the brunet's queer actions worried him even more. "Well, anyway why don't we get out of here for starters? This isn't a good place to stay in for long."

Receiving a nod, the athlete waited for Tsuna to let go of him before smiling at the other. Brown eyes were looking at him searchingly as though trying to see if he really was Yamamoto.

"Maa, we'll get out of here soon Tsuna." Yamamoto said as he grabbed the brunet's hand. Tsuna flushed but said nothing. Amber eyes softened and unable to help himself, Yamamoto leaned forward to kiss the brunet.

Brown eyes widened fearfully. Tsuna froze and closed his eyes. Yamamoto noticed this reaction and hurt passed in those amber eyes. So, instead of kissing Tsuna, he sighed and placed his arm around the other. Tsuna squeaked at the sudden arm around him but the rain just grinned.

"Saa… Let's get out of here." Yamamoto said as he pulled his boss to another direction.

Tsuna never noticed the conflict in the amber eyes as they walked.
