Notes: In the future chapters, there might be OOCs, and I am just warning you.
A GRAND FAVOR
He felt dizzy; his mind just turned 360 degrees in the darkness that surrounded it. He was so desperate to move out of the void space. He became aware of being caged somewhere he didn't know. He held the bars of the prison-like room that became his barrier between the truth and the unreal knowledge of his existence. He knew it, that his eyes were clearly opened, yet all he could see was pure black. Even a single spot of light couldn't be seen. He became hopeless, as the obscurity enveloped him. He shouted and shouted as no one heard him.
And all he could ask to himself after all struggles...
"Where am...I?"

Later he woke up from his deep slumber, he had not yet opened his eyes and he felt the grass tickle his skin. When old memories came back to him – that darkness that encircled him where he couldn't escape from – he felt bliss as he thought that he was in normal world now. Now that he thought of it, he was just in Namichuu's garden when group of thugs captured him. Maybe he was just in that garden again, or even if not, something realistic.
He opened his eyes, and wavered with the scene presented in front of him.
After he thought he was already in a real, stable world-like place already, and it was the exact opposite.
He was in a ruined church-like dimension with no any signs of lights at all. When he turned his eyes to the window-like structure in the top left of it, he saw the sky-like scene...It was red, and when he searched for images of cloud, he saw a black cloud-shaped entity surrounded by tints of gray circles with grinning faces. And when he looked down to where he lied, what he saw were pure dark bluish colored grasses which didn't moved at all no matter how Tsuna had touched it.
When the brunet felt signs of life around the area, he immediately went back to his sleeping form. That was just the time he realized he didn't panicked at all. What the hell happened to him?
He heard someone talking, and basing from the sound of steps, he thought that there was at least 3 people there. The sound came closer, and he could barely hear some conversation from them.
"That child is that traitor's loved one! How pathetic!" A seemingly flirty woman shouted.
"Yeah. Well, that traitor got rejected, anyway. Hahaha!" a thug-like person who let out a deep hoarse voice laughed.
"Really? So now that boy is in..." another person with almost normal voice joined.
"Yeah! Haha! I will be the one to have the throne if that old gramps will die soon!" the hooligan yelled.
"Now let's see this child..."
The woman came closer to the conscious Tsuna who lied on his previous spot. When the woman caressed his cheeks, he felt shiver creep down his spine, yet he tried to hide it. He felt danger around the three people, and he didn't want anything to happen to him. And he also tried to think about what they were talking about earlier. All he was sure about is that "That child" thing was referring to him. But who's that "Traitor"? He was so sure those thugs also mentioned of traitor, which they immediately replaced with "Young Master" and they told him they would show him something beautiful. He tried to remember if their tone was sarcastic back then or not, it didn't matter anyways. All he should focus right now was to know where he was and how he could go home.
"Such fine skin texture..." the woman continued touching his cheeks, as Tsuna tried to tolerate the unexpected and creepy touch. "Well, I'm still more beautiful, anyway"
"What do you mean by that?" the thug asked satirically.
"I mean how could Kyouya fell in love with this child while I'm prettier?"
"Are you kidding? That child's a he!"
"He! That traitor really fell in love with a BOY!" the woman shouted bewildered. "No wonder he was in THAT place now... Poor Kyouya..."
He mentally cursed the woman. The hell, he was wearing boy's clothes and of course he has no big chest whatsoever, but the thought that floated in Tsuna's mind was Hibari Kyouya.
Kyouya? Do they mean Hibari-san! But...how could...and where...
Tsuna couldn't put his questions into a coherent one anymore. He was already so confused where he was know, who these people were and why was Hibari known by these people, and more of it as a Young Master. He then cursed himself. The conversation echoed in his mind. And as he mentally heard it over and over again, he began to realize that there were something happening to Hibari now, something dangerous...and that was because he rejected him. The brunet then wondered why he was becoming out of himself now, and then just thought that what he concluded earlier was a false. There's no way that that Kyouya was Hibari-san he knew, anyway. And that was what he wanted to believe.
"Hey the pills have affected him too much. He's still sleeping until now," the woman said, after seeing the rather peaceful face Tsuna was making.
"He has a petite body, that's a no wonder, you know!" the thug replied, his voice echoed throughout the ruins. "Besides, let's get out of here! If the Toshi would find out that we really visited this child, we're busted!"
"You're right. He cannot escape here anyway,"
And the door slammed.
Tsuna, knowing there were no any people around, stood up.
"That was really har-" and he paused from his sentence when...
"You sure are good in acting, Young Master's beloved," the one with normal voice, who had an orange red eyes and hair commented with rather unemotional yet a little lonely face.
Crap...
"What? You've been staring at me..."
And Tsuna's mind kicked. This man would kill him!
He began to run away when the man appeared in front of him in a flash. "No escaping, Young Master's beloved,"
"I-I-I...!" Tsuna shouted nervously, as his knees fell on the ground. "P-pl-please! D-don't k-k-ki-kill me!"
The man after hearing the stuttering of the boy who's around his age, chuckled and crouched. His eyes met the other's begging caramel ones, and he smiled a bit.
"No one here will kill you, Tsuna-kun," the man smiled, as the fear in Tsuna's face began to fade away.
"W-why?"
"Because you're Young Master's beloved. And the descendant of...oops, I mean, if someone here kills you, he'll get the worst punishment from the Toshi,"
"Toshi?" Tsuna asked, as he arranged himself to a comfortable sitting position. Taking the other boy as somewhat reliable or not his enemy, Tsuna introduced himself formally. "I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi. Ni-nice to meet you,"
"Oh, I'm sorry to forgot to introduce myself," the man laughed a little. "My name's Enma Kozato. Nice to meet you too."
"And Toshi is what we call to this whole world's leader," Enma added.
"Whole world?"
"Yes. And I am really surprised you don't know that. Not knowing the Toshi would mean death, Tsuna-kun" and the brunet began to shudder.
"Hiiee! But I'm not from here!"
"You're not from here?"
"Y-yes!"
"Well, anyway, Tsuna-kun, since you're Young Master's beloved, I have a favor to you." Enma's smiling face earlier was replaced by rather serious yet still unemotional face. "I need you."
I was thinking of finishing this with 10 chapters due to little amount of reviews [which is really a cause of lack of motivation to continue my fanfics!], and I hope my readers will still continue to like my stories. :D
