THIS IS A REVISED AND IMPROVED VERSION!

"The Sky Without Its Elements"

Chapter One:

Am I abandoned?

Everything has ended. There were no rival families that threaten the Vongola, no ring-conflicts, no future-past time travels, no misunderstandings, no past-guardians that wants to disposed them, no representative's war, nothing.

Nothing is left for the sky to embrace...

Tsuna sighed as he engulfs the sight before him. "Sometimes, I wonder if it's better for a conflict to arise, maybe in that way...they'll...come back..." he shook his head upon hearing his own thoughts. "Come on! Tsuna! Don't be selfish!" he tried reasoning out with himself.

He packed his unfinished bento* and decided to just lie down, his eyes laid on the empty sky. "What is the sky without anything?"* a single question crossed his mind.

"Don't be stupid Tsuna! It was your own fault anyway...You dragged them into this mess! You endangered their life! Don't you think it's about time you gave them their own life back...?"

A single tear fall down in his cheeks upon hearing his own thoughts. He sniffed as he tries not to break down. "It's for the best..." he unconsciously said aloud for his ears to hear, hoping it might heal the pain inside.

The bells ring. "Lunch time is over!" he thought to himself. He stood up and brushed his uniform before heading downstairs and into his room. As he walked pass the hallway, he came across with Hibari. He smiled upon seeing his presence. He was about to open up a conversation when Hibari glared at him. "Go back to your class, Sawada before I bit you to death" he said. "HHIIIEE!" he screeched before heading towards his classroom. Hibari just stared at him. His thoughts hidden, even to himself.

Had he forgotten the memories we all shared?

Luckily for Tsuna, the teacher hasn't arrived yet. So he went to his seat and placed his bento in his bag. Few minutes before the teacher arrived, Gokudera entered the classroom. He was carrying pieces of papers with some kind of notes written on them and some mystery magazines. Gokudera sat on his chair, excitement clearly written in his face.

"G-gokudera-kun..." Tsuna said, more like whispered. He tries to get his storm's attention, but failed miserably. He sighed. Now, all his courage had vanished, would everything get back the way it should be?

The very moment he entered the room, a booming voice filled the room. "Jyuudaime! How was your day?!" Gokudera stood up from his seat and immediately ran towards his direction. Tsuna sweat drop, and in the verge of fainting from embarrassment. "There's nothing much to happen inside the bathroom..."

Very well indeed, Tsuna went to the comfort room for five minutes and when he comes back, this is what he got? Does Gokudera really has to ask that? "I know I should've gone with you!" Gokudera said as his face quenched with pure guilt. Upon seeing this, Tsuna waved his hand and tries his best to calm him down before he blames himself further and do something stupid. "Ah... ...Gokudera...you don't need to-"

Before he even got the chance to finish his sentence, the teacher arrived and yelled "Sawada! Gokudera! Sit down!" Tsuna panicked and immediately returned to his seat. Gokudera glared at the teacher. "You should never interrupt Jyuudaime's sentence..." he threatens. The teacher gulped and answered back, "S-sit down..I...s-said."

But, Gokudera still refused to do so. Tsuna knew where this is going so he decided to end this fight right now. "G-gokudera-kun...please...go back to your...seat" Upon hearing his boss' commands. He returns to his seat.

The teacher sighed. He really couldn't handle that delinquent.

Gokudera pouts as he sat on his chair, still bothered by his actions. Tsuna could only stare at his storm.

"Past is past..." he muttered only for his own ears to hear. The teacher entered and started talking about the lesson when all of a sudden, the door slide opened. A laughing Yamamoto showed up. "G-gomen...sensei*" he said while grinning. The teacher just sighed before he allowed his late student to head for his seat.

Tsuna followed Takeshi's movement hoping that he might notice him in some way. But, alas...the baseball star was too busy thinking about the upcoming tournament. Takeshi reached his seat and sat, opening a book in the process. Tsuna expected for his storm to scream at Yamamoto and questioned him for his reasons for being late in the class. But, nothing came. Nothing happened.

Nothing is ever the same.

Tsuna let out a heavy sighed trying his best to calm his emotions down. He couldn't cry his pain right now, ne? His friends, best friends, mightworry about him. But...

Would they really care? Would they really stop what they're doing and immediately ran to him, asking questions? Would they ever return back to him and leave their past life to be at his sight and protect him? Would they ever choose to endanger their lives again just to protect him?

Tsuna shook his head. No! No! No! Tsuna don't think about such things. They...Must...Not...Go...Back...

Unable to hold back his tears, Tsuna rushed outside. Even though, the teacher is still there, he doesn't care. The teacher stopped as he saw his student exist the room without his permission. "Tss...That dame-tsuna...what is he thinking? Interrupting my class?" The room was filled with silence.

See...they don't even care...if you walked out like that...where are they?

Where are your guardians, Decimo?

Tsuna stopped in his tracks. Decimo? Am I still the Vongola Decimo?

He stayed in the rooftop until dismissal time. Tsuna was on his way towards the gate when he noticed a lightened room in the third floor. "It must be Gokudera staying late...wonder what's he's up to.." so he placed his shoes back into the locker and left his bag in it. "I'll check on him just in case..." he thought while climbing up the stairs.

He was a few feet away from the door when he heard a series of laughter. He moved a little closer to hear the out-going conversations.

"What an outstanding discovery that is!" he heard a female voice. "You're really great Sempai!" she added. "Oh, this? This was nothing!" he heard his storm answered back. "But, we never knew that such things exist!" another member said. "Of course you wouldn't baka!*" he heard him boast.

He giggled softly upon hearing his storm bickering back. That was his attitude anyway, even he can't change that side of him. "Gokudera will always be...Gokudera..." He was cut off in his thoughts.

He never changes right. He always bickered at the things he doesn't like. He would always yelled at Lambo and Yamamoto for being stupid; he would always yelled at Onii-san (Ryohei) for being too loud even if he, himself, is being too loud also; he would always snickered and yelled insults at Hibari who in return would just ignored his comments; he would always denied Mukuro being one of his guardians because Mukuro always proclaims that he wants to possess my body that results for getting Gokudera's mistrust; and he would always proclaimed himself as my right-hand mind. He would always be at my side. No matter when, where. He would always be Gokudera.

The Furious Storm that never rest...

The pain inside his chest was too much for him to bear. Just remembering his past, just remembering all the laughter they shared, just remembering the times he was left alone. It was all too much! Tsuna fell on his knees as he grabbed his chest. He let those uncontrollable tears fell down his cheeks. "No, I must not..." he uttered to himself while he tried his best to calm down.

"No...I must not...ruin...their life..." he repeated to himself while he walked down the stairs, his hand still clenched tightly on his chest. Finally, he reached the ground floor. He took his bag, changed his shoes and headed for the gate. When he was about to leave, he saw some lights in the field. He went there to check what was happening and found some of Yamamoto's baseball team players. He tried to approach them to see if Yamamoto was with them.

"A-a..ano..." he said softly, still hesitant if he should ask them or not. Before he gathered all his remaining courage, a player who was taller than him appeared behind and pushed him on the ground. The two players who are chatting with each other turned around to see Tsuna on the ground trying to stand up and their co-player smirking behind him.

"Well...well...well...look who we have here...Dame-Tsuna*" one of the player said. "What are you doing here, Dame-Tsuna?" the one on his right added. Tsuna felt weak because of the emotional break-down he just experienced recently, but he managed to sit up, much to his delight.

"A-ano...I j-just...w-wanted to ask...i-if Y-yamamoto..." he was cut off when the tallest guy punched him in the face. "Don't you dare!" he yelled at him. Tsuna was speechless. "W-what are you talking ab-about?" he asked him, again stuttering.

"Tss...Dame-Tsuna will always be Dame-Tsuna ne...?" the one in front of him said. Tsuna turned his gaze to the two people standing in front of him. He gulped, somewhat afraid of the next words their going to say.

"You are so selfish, Dame-Tsuna!"the one who punched him yelled in his face. His saliva spluttered in his face. Selfish? Who? Me? Why would I be selfish? I am not selfish! Right?

The sky understands and accepts them all...

So, why would I be selfish?

"Dame-Tsuna! Didn't you know that it was you! You're the main reason why Takeshi-nii couldn't play baseball any longer?" Tsuna's eyes widened. "We realized that when Takeshi-nii is with you, he doesn't come to the club and didn't play baseball anymore! When he met you, he left his dream, his ambition...He gave up playing baseball..." the other one said. "And that's why we always lost!" the tallest said. "Cause' Takeshi-nii was never around to help us win the game! You we're the reason he stopped playing baseball, haven't you noticed it yet?!" the right guy said.

Tsuna's eyes widened as those words sucked in. He remembers the time when he asked Yamamoto on why he didn't play baseball. He just smiled his signature grin and replied "Well...I need to train with swords so that I can protect you...and our family..."

See, you are the reason for everything.

To protect the sky, the guardians have to give up everything...

"T-tsuna?!" he heard someone screamed his name. The three baseball players flinched upon hearing that voice. Yamamoto approached the four and went in the center to help Tsuna stood up. "T-tsuna?! I..I thought-?" he noticed something in Tsuna's face. A bruise.

"T-tsuna...a-are you okay?" he asked his boss. Tsuna's eyes we're shadowed by his bangs so it was hard for him to read his expression. "What did they do to you?" Yamamoto asked, his fist already clenched.

He will never forgive them...

Tsuna didn't know if he should be happy or not now that his best friend showed up to help him. He knew that if he told Takeshi what happened, it would just ruin his trust among his fellow members, and that might the main reason they'll lose the game. He would again be the reason why Yamamoto would either restrain himself from playing baseball or lose his concentration on the upcoming game. No, Yamamoto should always treat his fellow members as his friends. If he were to break that relationship among their team, then how are they supposed to win the tournament. And so, Tsuna faked a smile...a giggle.

The sky embraces them all...

"Gomen ne, Yamamoto...I slipped...They helped me though..." he said while he stood up and brushed the dirt from his shirt. Yamamoto was speechless, he had this feeling that he was lying.

"B-but Tsuna..y-you have a bruise"he tries to explain but he was interrupted again. Tsuna let out a heavy sighed before taping Yamamoto's shoulder and stared at him.

Trying his best to hide the pain to himself...

"Yamamoto, good luck on your game, be sure to win okay?" he said with a heartwarming smile. Yamamoto's face lights up. He stood up. "Ahahaha! Thanks Tsuna!" he said while placing both of his hands on Tsuna's shoulder. Tsuna nodded before picking up his bag and heads towards the gate. "Thanks" he said as he bowed down and waved at them goodbye.

His smile slowly disappearing...

Replaced by tears of pain...

He can no longer hold...

"Tadaima!" he said as he reached his house. Silence answered him back. He sighed before heading towards the kitchen. There was a note on the table.

Dear Tsu-kun,

How was your day? I'm sorry for not being able to go home today. Things got a little mixed up and I'm away and staying at your Aunt's home. I'll be back after a few days...or maybe weeks. So please don't stay late tonight.

Love,

Mama

Then the phone suddenly rang. Tsuna picked it up. "Konbanwa!* Sawada residence, who's this?" "Oh! Tsu-kun! Welcome back!" he heard his mother's voice on the other line. "Mom!" Tsuna replied with glee. "Gomen* Tsu-kun for not being able to come home today..." his mother said, in a depressing tone. "It's okay mom, I read it on your note..." he said while staring at it. "Anyway, remember your aunt? She has a high fever now and when we have her checked up on a hospital, they said she has a rare disease...And since, she has no other relatives besides us..." Tsuna cut her off with an understanding voice. "It's fine mom, really! I could take care of myself...But, please, be careful out there! It's a rare disease right?" he said.

"Mou...Tsu-kun...Arigatou*" he heard his mother sighed in relief. "No, I should be the one apologizing mom, anyway, goodbye...mom...Oyasumi*" he said . "Oyasumi..." is mother replied before hanging up the phone. As soon as he put down the phone, he hurried upstairs and into his bed. It doesn't matter to him anymore if he ate his dinner or not. He doesn't feel hungry anymore. All he wanted to do was to laid down on his bed, and cried himself to sleep.
