I realized that it would be good to clarify the chronology of the fic. It happens after Shimon saga and before the current arc of the manga. Chrome is already living with the Sasagawas.

Chapter 6: Approaching

"I'm sorry, Juudaime." Gokudera said steadily. He held his knees tightly and leaned forward, keeping his face down. A few seconds before, the guardian of the storm was hugging Tsuna tightly as he cried with happiness. In fact, Tsuna had been embraced with such force that he began to feel pain and reported it to Gokudera as politely as possible.

"Don't worry, Gokudera-kun. It didn't hurt that much." Tsuna tried to comfort Hayato, but soon realized that it was useless. His hyper-intuition told him that that apology was not restricted to a hug.

"I made you suffer, right, Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna asked sadly, which made the silver-haired boy raise his face to look at him. "I'm not sure about what happened, but you were crying because of me, weren't you? I'm sorry."

"Juudaime..." Gokudera was invaded by a strong sense of guilt. I'm making Juudaime sad.I need to do something about it.

He then forced a smile and said:

"I'm not suffering, Juudaime! I'm very happy now that you are awake! You should also be happy."

Tsuna smiled shyly after hearing those words. Gokudera kept the smile on his lips while his mind wandered.

I wish Juudaime could smile and be happy all the time.

Suddenly, Reborn and Yamamoto entered the room.

"We've only found Ryohei and Chrome. Shamal and Bianchi also came. How is Tsu-" Reborn was saying when he saw his student sitting on the bed.

"Reborn, you look pale. Are you feeling well?" Tsuna asked in concern. Reborn gave him a flying kick that almost toppled the Tenth from the bed.

"Never frighten your guardians like this, Dame Tsuna!" The arcobaleno said without looking at Sawada. Tsuna thought he had seen his tutor's hands trembling for a second.

"Tsuna, I'm glad you woke up!" Yamamoto said, happy and relieved. "You worried us when you went into hyper mode while sleeping and tried to hit Gokudera with an X-Burner."

Tsuna's shocked and horrified expression made Yamamoto realize that he had said too much.

"YOU BASEBALL IDIOT!" Gokudera shouted angrily. He wanted to punch Yamamoto, but he was more concerned about the Tenth at the moment. "Juudaime, do not listen to what this retarded says! He just talks nonsense, he has sushi in his head!"

"Stop it, Gokudera!" Reborn ordered coldly. "Tsuna must know the truth."

"I almost killed Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna wondered aloud, being invaded by despair. "I did that for real? No... no..."

"You'd better tell us everything that happened. We are in a very dangerous situation." Reborn said.

"So Sawada was sleepwalking to the extreme?" Ryohei walked screaming into the room. Chrome came soon after him and asked if the Boss was ok. Tsuna was not paying attention to them. Gokudera saw those brown eyes of his boss being filled with tears.

Why are they doing this?Why are they treating Juudaime this way?He has just woken up, he still can't handle this.Why no one else understands?

"It'll be okay, Hayato." Gokudera heard a familiar voice behind him. Without thinking, he turned around, saw Bianchi's face and fainted.

Sound of rain?Where am I?

The guardian of the storm found himself lying on a field full of orange flowers under a dark and rainy sky. The strong and cold wind made him shiver.

"Juudaime... where are you?" He stood up and looked around without finding anything but orange flowers.

Hayato soon realized that the wind had a strange sound.

Someone's crying... it's Juudaime.

"JUUDAIME?" Gokudera called. He was shivering, but began to run, looking for his boss.

He ran for what seemed like hours, changing direction at times, but could not find Tsuna. The Tenth's voice gave the impression of being in the wind itself.

"JUUDAIME, WHERE ARE YOU? PLEASE, DO NOT CRY, I WILL FIND YOU!"

Gokudera ran aimlessly to exhaustion, but refused to stop. He had to find his precious boss. However, there came a time when the guardian of the storm could no longer move forward. His legs could not bear the weight of his body anymore and he fell.

The flowers had a delicious sweet aroma and their petals were extremely soft and delicate.

"I almost killed Gokudera-kun."

The Juudaime's voice isin the wind.Where is he?Juudaime...

"I can't bear this pain. I can't live with this pain."

Gokudera's eyes widened in a state of absolute terror. Had he just heard the Tenth saying that he couldn't live?

Gokudera tried to stand up, but failed. All he could do was crawl.

.
After a few minutes, he came upon the hem of a white lace dress. Looking up, he found a girl with orange hair.

"Give up. Reaching the sky is impossible for you. The sky belongs only to me, Gokudera Hayato." She said in a whisper.

The guardian of the storm woke up on a couch. He was in the living room of the Sawada's residence.

"You finally woke up, Hayato." Bianchi said. She was sitting in a chair nearby, wearing goggles that covered part of her face.

"Aneki? What happened? What about Juudaime?" The silver-haired boy was bewildered.

"Tsuna is in his room with Reborn. He is afraid of sleeping. You fainted in the hospital and missed the entire reunion. In fact, you've been unconscious for more than ten hours."

"I must see Juudaime." Gokudera jumped off the couch, but was pulled back by the arm by Bianchi.

"Hayato, in these ten hours we investigated thoroughly many Mafia families to try to find suspects." Bianchi told her brother in a serious tone.

"Did you find a suspect?" Gokudera asked anxiously.

"Actually, we have been found by one." Bianchi said. A young man came walking solemnly from the kitchen into the living room, wearing an elegant black coat.

"My name is Boris Ivanovich Bakhtin. Nice to meet you, Vongola Tenth's right-hand man."
