Chapter 2: The reunion
"Oh, sorry, Gokudera-kun." Tsuna said to his guardian of the storm in front of the closed stylized T-shirt shop, that was two blocks of the school. Hiie why did it have to be closed right now?I just wanted to cheer Gokudera-kun up!
Hayato looked at the store without actually seeing it. His thoughts were still in the nightmare he had. Tsuna noticed the forlorn expression on the face of his friend and felt bad.
"So, Gokudera-kun, what if we went to a movie theater?" Tsuna suggested. As if waking from a dream, Gokudera replied in surprise:
"Juudaime wants to see a movie with me? W-what movie?"
"Oh... you can choose, right, Gokudera-kun?" The Tenth asked, smiling kindly. That smile made Hayato feel warm inside.
"It will be a pleasure, Juudaime!"
The two of them went to the movies and Hayato chose the film that, as he said, was worthy of being seen by the Tenth.
"Zombie Killer 3D?" Tsuna asked in horror before the outdoor that the guardian of the storm was pointing with great enthusiasm, which basically showed the undead coming out of the graves and devouring humans.
"It's the best movie of the year, Juudaime! From what I read, the 3D effects are so good that you feel the blood been thrown at your face!" Hayato spoke with his eyes shining in happiness for providing to his beloved leader such high-level entertainment, obviously not realizing the terrified expression of Sawada Tsunayoshi.
This movie will not let me sleep at night!I don't want to see it!But Gokudera-kun looks so excited...
Tsuna just faked enthusiasm for the film and agreed to watch it. Ten minutes later, he was regretting it.
"Juudaime, you saw how the man's head was thrown away? It was amazing!" Gokudera said with a huge smile, not getting distracting from the film. Tsuna's eyes were closed under the 3D glasses, but the screams of the film and the detailed comments of his guardian didn't ease his movie experience.
"G-Gokudera-kun, I need to go to the restroom. I'll be right back, OK?" Tsuna said, praying that the other would believe him.
"Huh? Juudaime, I'll go with you!" Hayato started to get up, but Tsuna prevented him, saying, "Don't worry, I don't want you to miss any part of the movie."
Outside the cine theater, Tsuna could breathe in relief. I really don't want to go back to that session, but if I'm not back soon Gokudera-kun will be worried.I need to do it for him!
"Such a beautiful feeling." A female voice said. Startled, Tsuna saw that there was a girl about his age near the movies' posters looking at him. She had long curly orange hair that reached her knees, big purple eyes and very white skin. She also had an enigmatic smile and piercing eyes and wore a black lace dress with long sleeves and flowing skirt that covered her knees. She walked over to Tsuna and said: "To accept suffering to make someone happy. Worthy of the Great Sky of the Vongola Famiglia."
"Hiie, V-Vongola you said? What do you-"
"Quiet!" The girl ordered. Tsuna said no more after that. He could not move either. What is happening to me?Who's that girl?It is dangerous, I have to get away from her, but I can't move!
The girl stroked Tsuna's face gently.
"It's so strange that someone with such power has sweet eyes like these... you look so fragile. Like a porcelain doll that is both beautiful and delicate. I wonder, Great Sky, how hard it would be to break you."
Meanwhile, Gokudera looked at his digital watch with apprehension. It's been five minutes, why is Juudaime taking so much to come back?May something have happened?
Distressed, Gokudera hastily left the theater. Outside, a group of people were crowded around something. Hayato approached them and could hear what they were saying.
"The ambulance is on its way?"
"Yes."
"Someone saw what happened?"
"He just fell down from nothing. I think someone was talking to him a little before that."
"Is he sick, his appearance is not good."
"It looks like he's dying, doesn't it?"
Gokudera made his way through the crowd and finally could see what was lying on the floor. It was an unconscious and deathly pale Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Juu...dai... me...?
Feeling his strength leaving his body, Gokudera Hayato fell on his knees. He crawled over the inert body of his boss. Hands trembling sought desperately for signs of life and could feel a weak pulse.
A very weak pulse.
"What happened?" He asked to the face devoid of color of his Tenth, "What? Juudaime? How can…? Why? No… no ... NO!"
The people around had to hold the silver-haired boy who had begun to cry in despair.
Where am I? Tsuna wondered. He could see nothing but darkness around him. He was standing in somewhere and that was all what he knew.
"Juudaime" He heard Gokudera's voice calling him happily.
"Gokudera-kun, are you here? What is this place?"
"It's a dream, Juudaime. A beautiful dream."
"Dream? Beautiful?" Tsuna was panicking.
"Yes, Juudaime," Gokudera said in a more sinister tone and Tsuna realized that the voice was coming closer, "it is a beautiful dream in which you will be all mine. I'll have all the things love the most in you in my hands."
"W-What are you saying?" Tsuna walked back, trying to gain distance. His hyper-intuition shouted to him to run from the owner of that voice.
"Your eyes are so beautiful, Juudaime. I've always found them the most precious jewels in the world. Please do not cry a lot when I pull them out, okay?"
