Chapter 5: Message from the Future
xxXXxx
It's the start of the rigid training. First in the training agenda is physical training which was a great haggard to the students, many complained and whined. This is NOT Military school! This is a class exchange program for crying out loud! Well of course no one had the guts to speak that thought, saying that much is practically suicide. Not long ago someone was dashed to the infirmary because that certain person complained and the person he complained to, snapped his neck. They wouldn't want that, right?
Tsuna watch the class by his window in the office. 'I wish I could go outside…' He continued to sign paperworks. Someone knocked on his door. "It's open."
The person outside of the door revealed it to be Kyoko Sasagawa. She had auburn hair and orange eyes. That girl is nice, caring, a bit of an airhead like Tsuna's mom and she is the REAL future wife of Tsuna. "Tsuna-kun, is it alright if I stay here for awhile?" Tsuna nodded. Kyoko walked to Tsuna work desk and sat the edge to the left and stared at the people beyond the window. "Everyone seems to be having fun, ne?" She looked at Tsuna with a bright smile.
"Everyone except me…" The brunet muttered, causing Kyoko to giggle. "What's so funny about it?" Tsuna stopped signing his papers and looked at Kyoko.
The auburn haired girl merely shook her head. "Nothing is, Tsuna-kun. It's just that… the way you said that reminds me of when you confessed…"
"… That led to engagement right?" Tsuna finished her sentence. "Yes."
"It wasn't that long ago when we got engaged…"
They were in the rooftop of Namimori Chuu. Tsuna was staring at the sky by the railings. The door to the rooftop slowly opened. Kyoko slowly entered the rooftop "Gomen… Did I make you wait?" Kyoko asked. Tsuna shook his head "I just got here myself."
The auburn-haired girl walked towards Tsuna then stared at the view the roof had to offer… "Tsuna-kun, why did you ask me to come here?" She asked, still looking at the view.
Tsuna started fidgeting and walked side to side, talking in a gibberish language. "I uhh… the thing is… it's just that… err… if you could—no! I—"
"Tsuna-kun… calm down first!" Tsuna managed to abide by those words. He took a deep breath and said everything "K-Kyoko-chan, I-I like you! Please go out with me!"Kyoko giggled a little. "What's so funny?!" The brunet exclaimed, his face was red to the ears. Kyoko giggled again "it's just that…"
"You don't like me?" Tsuna depressingly asked. "That's not it Tsuna-kun! I also like you… but I want our relationship to be something else…" Kyoko requested, with a little blush found on her cheeks. "A-and what would that be?"
"I want to be your wife!"
"EHHH?! Kyoko-chan, you want to be my wife?!" 'You're acting like Haru!'
"Yes! I want to be your wife!"
"Well, I guess that's fine with me." Despite Tsuna's reply, a chibi brunet was dancing the victory dance inside his head saying "YAY!"
They stared into each other's eyes, with smiles slowly gracing upon their lips. "Kyoko-chan…"
"What is it?"
"Now that I think about it, what made you want to be my wife?" Tsuna asked, continuing to sign his papers again.
The auburn-haired girl smiled and looked at the people outside the window "Tsuna-kun is a nice person… At first, when I saw you, I thought you were someone who couldn't stand up to other people." Her smile grew wider "There was never a day that you were covered by bandages but despite that, you smiled whole-heartedly at those people around you. I actually admired that part you." She closed her eyes then opened it once more, looking at the ceiling this time. "Remember the time that you confessed to me while you were in your boxers?"
The brunet paused from his papers and nodded; a tint of pink present on his cheeks. Kyoko beamed "I was going to yes that time but you suddenly ran away."
Tsuna's eyes widened at that time, "You were?" Tsuna said it as if disbelievingly. Kyoko nodded "Yes, but Hana-chan said that it was just I joke." The brunet sweat dropped at that. "So that's why you said that…"
"Gomen ne Sawada-san there are times that I can't tell which are jokes so I didn't know when to laugh and to not laugh"
'She thinks it's a joke!'
"Aside that, the time you also fought when we got to the future, I saw another side of you that made me admire you even more. You were so strong and yet you stayed nice, many would be abusive if they had that kind of power. Aside from you being strong, you were also nice, understanding and gentle… very gentle." Kyoko went down from the desk and went in front of Tsuna, bending her knees to match their eye levels. "That's why I want to be Tsuna-kun's wife."
"Heh… I never thought that THAT would be the reason… You have a nice reason while I—
"GYAHAHAHA! REBORN! PREPARE TO DIE WITH LAMBO-SAN'S SURPRISE ATTACK!" The cow child entered. Lambo threw grenades all over the place, going to the very expensive materials to be precise.
"STUPID COW! THIS IS NOT REBORN-SAN'S ROOM! THIS IS THE TENTH'S OFFICE! NOW COME BACK HERE!" Gokudera stormed into the room, grabbing Lambo by the tail and started shaking him like there's no tomorrow, followed by their respective group members.
They watched how Gokudera hurt the child and none interfered, also missing the fact that they are in front of certain people and what collateral damages that have been done after those grenades exploded.
"Stupid cow, how dare you damage the tenth's office?! Don't you have any respect?!"
"G-Gupya-ya-ya-ya-ya! La-la-la-Lambo-sa~an doesn't know wha-what you're talking about!" Lambo managed to reply back despite the constant shaking of the Storm guardian.
"Don't lie to me!"
"Gokudera-kun! Lambo!"
"WHAT—Tenth! What brings you here today?" the silverette suddenly changed attitude, dropping the crying Lambo. "Ryohei's imouto-san is also here. Am I disturbing anything?"
"Actually… Gokudera-kun, what brings YOU here?" Tsuna leaned on his comfy leather chair, crossing his legs in the process. Kyoko moved to his left side so that the brunet could be seen fully.
"Ah! About that! Juudaime (A/N: Yeah… name changed into Juudaime instead of tenth! XD) I am sorry for this but could you—"
"Hold… it… in… I CAN'T! WAHHH!" Lambo cried, completely cutting of the Storm guardian. He reached for this improved ten-year bazooka but failed because he tripped on his feet and caused the bazooka to fly and bump with the ceiling, then goes flying to Kyoko's direction.
"Kyoko-chan, watch out!" The brunet dashed from his leather chair to protect Kyoko. Instead of being able to deflect the bazooka, both of them were swallowed by it.
BOOM!
"Look what you have done, stupid cow!" Gokudera scolded. "It's not Lambo-san's fault!" The child defended.
The pink cloud slowly disappeared and two new figures appeared.
"Hmm? Where is this place?" A deep, gentle, silky voice said. The said voice made the people present melt under it, boys and girls alike.
"This voice… Tsu-kun, we aren't in Italy anymore…" That voice of the girl made the people inside the office immediately recognize her. Her statement was answered by a light chuckle "I'm sorry… It seems that Italy made his mark on me…"
The figures appeared to be an auburn-haired girl on top of a brunet with his brown locks spikier than before, who was in his bath robe. Their appearance triggered a lot of murmurs. "Who's that?" "Whoa! He's hot!" "Wow! Kyoko-san's hair grew so fast!" "They look mature…"
"Juudaime?" His right-hand man inquired. He went closer to help Kyoko stand up, mumbling a 'thank you' as she was helped.
"Hayato… you look younger. Were you hit by the ten-yen bazooka?" The brunet asked, sitting up, making himself comfortable of his position. He eyed the people on the room. There were people staring at him with eyes full of admiration, blushing from his looks and some stealing glances at Kyoko.
Gokudera perked up when heard his boss call him by his first name. "It's the opposite! Juudaime and Sasagawa-san were hit by the bazooka!"
Tsuna raised a brow "We were hit by the bazooka?" Gokudera nodded enthusiastically. The brunet sighed and eyed the people around him again.
"Hayato, could I ask you some questions?"
"What is it Juudaime? And what's with the sudden change of language?" His right-hand man immediately replied, eye brows knitted together when he heard his boss talk in a different language, Italian, to be exact.
"It's for the sake of secrecy. Is it 'this' time of the year?"
"You mean 'that' event the organization does every five years?" Tsuna nodded. "Yes. Actually, this is one of the reasons why our class was recruited."
"How many days or months before 'that' event will happen?"
"In exactly two months!" Tsuna nodded again and fixed his bath robe.
"Do they know it?" Gokudera just shook his head. Tsuna went to tend to the crying Lambo "Now, now Lambo, here are some candies now hush…"
"Hayato, what were you doing before any of this happened?" Tsuna cradled the now sleeping Lambo and faced Gokudera's direction.
The Storm guardian lowered his head "The thing is that… JUUDAIME, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A JOINT GROUP WITH THE STUPID COW!" He pointed at the cow child in Tsuna's arms
"And why is that?" Tsuna arced yet another brow.
"I don't want that old fart to be in my group." Gokudera muttered, looking at the ground, dismay present on his face. The brunet just sighed and lightly touched his forehead. "Right… Nezu is in the lightning group… Hayato, as much as I hate it, you have to teach Lambo's group… especially on how to open a box. Lambo is just a child and this is one of the things I can only count on you."
'This is one of the things I can only count on you. This is one of the things I can only count on you. Count on you… count on you… count on you…' Tsuna's words echoed in Gokudera's mind.
'I didn't know Juudaime counted on me this much!' Gokudera showed a fist of determination. "Juudaime! I promise you that the stupid cow's group and my group shall be your winning card!" The brunet gave a good natured laugh. "All of you! Gather up and listen me real closely! Starting now, every one of you shall be under my commands!" Gokudera ordered.
Meanwhile, Kyoko stared at the floor, with a hint of worry found in her eyes. "Kyoko… Kyoko are you alright?" Tsuna worryingly asked. "Kyoko…" the brunet waved a hand in front of her. That was enough to snap the auburn-haired girl out of her thoughts.
"Gomen Tsu-kun… I was just wondering if Tsunako-chan is eating her breakfast." She wondered out loud. "Tsunako-chan can take care of herself, besides Haru is also watching over her." Tsuna replied reassuringly.
"In any cases, start your training. I don't want anyone lazing around." Tsuna commanded.
"Uhh… Juudaime… there are clothes that might fit your size. Do you want to change?"
Noticing that Tsuna was still in his bath robe, he smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. "Haha… I would like to but first leave this office."
"Ah! HAI! Right away!" Gokudera quickly responded and shoved the members of his group and Lambo's group out of his boss' office. The Storm guardian entered the room again and took Lambo away from the brunet's arms, then shut the door behind him again.
xxXXxx
The storm and lightning group tailed the element leader, Gokudera Hayato, with Lambo in his arms. While on their way, they made some casual talks and gossips of what happened for the past few days. And in some way or another, their conversation led to the handsome brunet of awhile ago. The girls described his looks, his sharp eyes, his messy brown locks, his lean and sturdy body, his awesome complexion, his deep, intoxicating voice and his… his… EVERYTHING!
Sawada has grown to be quite a man and quite a looker as well. The guys from Tsuna's class actually felt for—the first time—being stepped by someone, and those guys had to admit though, whatever language that Sawada was speaking, IT. WAS. FREAKIN'. SEDUCING! They saw yet another side of Tsuna that they didn't know. One more surprising thing was the Namimori idol, Sasagawa Kyoko, called Tsuna 'Tsu-kun' AND the two of them actually looked good together! Although there was one more thing that bothered them, 'Who's Tsunako-chan?'
"Ne, ne! Gokudera-sama! Was the person from awhile ago really SAWADA?!" Miku cheekily asked. She swayed from side to side, fluttering hearts and flowers puffed out of her head, completely head-over-heels for the TYL Tsuna.
Gokudera ignored the stupid question coming out of the stupid woman. He just 'tch'-ed at the question. He didn't have to answer right? Even though all the girls present right now where staring at him expectantly… and the boys were looking at him with curiosity found in their eyes. The Storm guardian resisted the urge to shove some dynamites into their mouths, maybe some of the dynamites into their faces… yeah… it seems so close yet so far~.
"Come on now! Spit it out already!" Lucy gave a hard slap to the back, causing Gokudera to cough and nearly let go of the cow child.
"What the hell was that for?!" the silverette spurted out.
"You were ignoring us! What else was I supposed to do?!" Lucy defended. "Yes! That person from awhile ago is Juudaime! Now shut up and follow me!"… And with that said, they did shut up, even though there were questions in their minds that needed to be answered.
The group continued in an awkward silence. Small chatters immediately stopped when a hard-on glare was given to them. Those glare promised pain and no one really wanted that. They should rather be grateful since those two groups didn't have to attend the physical training outside, under the intense heat, together with the world's most powerful babies (Some which are sadistic), and element leaders that seem to agree on their training, wherein two of them were joining the jog; one was throwing a tonfa to whoever was slowing down and the last one was using his skill to scare the living daylights out of his members… making them run faster.
Gokudera stopped in front of a red metal door, with a huge mark of Vongola engraved in the middle and the storm flame serving as the background. "We're here!" He announced. He pressed his palm over a mold shaped like his hand.
*BZZZTT!* Gokudera Hayato, Vongola Storm Guardian… identity accepted. *BZZTTTT!*
The door parted into two, revealing huge stacks of books scattered everywhere, a long line of connected tables, with some papers stacked, a huge screen above the fire place, a long sofa s few meters away from the huge screen, a door found at their left side, and another door at the other side of the room.
"This place almost looks like a library…" Lucy mused. She went to the books and scanned through some of them. "Gokudera-san, would you mind if I borrow some of your books?"
"Just make sure you return them to me." Lucy immediately grabbed the books that caught her interest.
Gokudera walked his way to his drawer, opening it, showed his glasses. He tied his hair into a short pony tail and wore his glasses. He also got his laptop from the drawer, together with a connector and a projector. He set it near the screen and sets the projector to it. When the laptop was opened, he also opened a PowerPoint file, regarding about what they were going to do next.
Gokudera and Lambo's group helped themselves with the fancy sofa and watched the Storm work. The PowerPoint file showed various rings and boxes. They assumed that, that was what they're going to discuss.
"Listen up! What I'm going to teach to all of you is how to open boxes!" Gokudera slammed a hand near the screen, which was given the looks saying 'are you stupid or something?' What? You can't possibly expect them to think that Gokudera was saying it in another way now, right?
Gokudera just shrugged them off and continued his explanation. "First of all, to open a box, a certain flame is required; and that flame is called the dying will flame. The dying will flame shows your resolution and its power is measured by how pure your resolution is. The dying will flames are classified into seven types; it may be storm, rain, sun, lightning, cloud, mist, and sky, the rarest of them all. But before you can have your dying will flame appear before you, a ring is required. Now a ring is what materializes your dying will flame, and that ring the one that you need when you open the box. Now let me explain the boxes. Before you give me those 'are you stupid or something' looks, I'm talking about a box weapon, NOT a cardboard box, okay? As the name suggests, a box weapon contains a weapon, which varies to whatever is inside. Its strength also depends on how pure your resolve is and to how you manipulate it. Furthermore, a box weapon varies from storage to animal weapons, aside from that your box should match your wave, ring and flame. If those three doesn't match, it is unlikely for you to open such a box. If your wave is too weak, the box will not open. If your flame does not match the box, it will not open and same goes for the ring. For example, I have storm class flames, therefore I can only open boxes that react to storm flames as well as storm rings. As easy as that, you can open the box weapon. To cut it short, if those three attributes don't match, the box won't open. Do you have any questions?"
For some reason, a cricket sound happened to pass by, and the group stared at him, with their mouths gaping like a fish. Gokudera spoke like a professor in college, rather than the delinquent kind-of foul mouth.
"No questions mean that everyone understood that brief explanation."
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it and stop right there! Did he just say that that was brief? It just felt that the Storm guardian just recited an essay, a very long on at that.
"Nonono! WAIT! We didn't understand a single bit of what you just said! Dying will? Storm, rain, lightning… What's the connection? They all sound like weathers to me!" Kiseki protested. Everyone gave similar glances to the Storm guardian, wanting to know the answer as well.
"I can't believe it." Gokudera muttered under his breath. 'What's up with them? Didn't they listen to Lal's orientation?' Gokudera frustratingly scratched his head. He went to open the door across the room with a remote control. As it opened, it showed a box of… box weapons and another box containing some rings.
"It's because you don't understand it." The Storm guardian said, scowling at the person who gave that absurd question.
"We don't understand what?" Kiseki raised a brow, crossing his arms in the process.
"Everything I just said has a connection to one another. It's your stupid problem if you don't know what it is." Gokudera lifted both of the boxes and placed them at the center of the room. "Make a freakin' line before I snap." He lowly growled. The people did make a line but wondered why he was suddenly in a bad mood… Gokudera just gave each a ring and a box. "That ring and that box, those two things are what we're going to focus on." He showed his own ring and box. His ring was similar to the others. He lit his ring, showing pure storm flames.
"This is the dying will flame. Mine is a red flame, also known as the storm flame. To activate your flames, you must have a good resolution." He explained as he inserted his flames into his skull designed box. Red light appeared and subsided as soon as it appeared. A cute cat with huge red eyes, and flames coming out of its ear appeared.
"MEOW~~!" The cat greeted and proceeded to scratch his master's face. "—GACK! URI, GET-OFF OF MY FACE! GRRR!" He managed to get the cat out of his face.
"Uri?" Everybody chorused.
"Yes. Uri is the name of the pathetic excuse of a weapon." He raised the cat in his hands. "He's one of my pets as well as box weapon." Gokudera explained, giving him and the cat distance away from each other. "Don't expect that you would have the same things like I have. Now…" He glanced at the people in front of him. "Show me your resolution."
"How are we supposed to do that?" Rei questioned, touching the designs of the box. Gokudera scratched his head again "Just think of what makes you a better person or better yet, think of your best determination."
"Huh~? Why think of something as crappy as that?" Takao interrupted. The Storm guardian turned his head to Takao and stomped his way there. He grabbed Takao by the collar and raised him, slamming him to a nearby wall. Gokudera just gave him a vicious glare. Takao heavily swallowed, sweat forming at his forehead and gave a scared look at Gokudera.
"Let me tell you about the few things in this world. First of all, don't ever, EVER say that a resolution is crappy. Second, resolution is what makes you change in to a better person. Third, don't forget the position you are in. Fourth, be grateful that you are still ALIVE and I am the only one who heard that from you. And fifth, you have yet to know why your class is in Vongola HQ in the first place!" He glared and lets go of Takao, who fell flat on his butt. He gave one more glare before he went back to the boxes.
"Tch." He remembered that the lightning rings and boxes were in the lightning room. "I'm going to get something. I expect that some of you to have their rings lit up, aside from the Lightning group." He stormed out of the Storm room. (Yeah!)
"WATCH WHERE YOU"RE GOING STUPID WOMAN!"
"HAHI! SHOULDN'T I BE SAYING THAT GOKUDERA-SAN?!"
"GAH! WHATEVER!"
"Dangerous as ever desu…" Haru said to herself as she entered the Storm room. She saw unfamiliar faces and worse of all, Haru paled when she saw an old person *cough*Nezu*cough* near Lambo-chan. "HAHI! Who are you people?!" She cupped her cheeks as she shouted at the people. Nezu was supposed to answer but Haru's expression was suddenly covered by her bangs. One second she was at the entrance, after another second, she was behind Nezu. She put joined her arms around his waist and…
BAM!
A beautiful bridge was born. Nezu lost consciousness right after his head connected with the hard floor. "Haru shall not tolerate any pedophiles in the Vongola HQ desu!" She announced, both of her hands at her sides.
"Wha—!" Gokudera's jaw dropped to the floor, new boxes in hand also fell down. "Hahi-onna! What did you do?!" He dashed to his unconscious teacher. "Actually don't say it; I'm quite satisfied in what I'm seeing." He kneeled down to Nezu, whose eyes were spinning. "Keh. For the first time, I'm proud of what just did… Haru." He then flashed a warm smile.
Haru flustered a little. "Gokudera-san… it's the first time you called me by my name…" She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt.
Gokudera turned around to hide his blush but unfortunately there were some who saw him blush... you know the people behind him. "Che… consider that my reward." He turned around (again) facing Haru, showing her the light blush present on his cheeks.
Haru felt cupid's arrow pierce her heart and skipped a beat. She cupped her cheeks 'Hahi? What's this? I thought my feelings were for Tsuna-san? Am I falling in love again? No! Haru, snap out of yourself! Remember that your heart belongs to Tsuna-san… but Tsuna-san rejected Haru… is it fine to love this man?' She looked at Gokudera, who was giving out lightning rings, stealing glances then flusters when their gazes met. She lightly giggled.
"There's nothing wrong with falling in love again, Haru."
"HAHI!" She jumped in surprise. She turned her head around, eyes widening in disbelief "Tsuna-san? Is that you Tsuna-san?!" Tsuna nodded "But you're so tall and manly and…" He just gave a light chuckle in response. He lightly ruffled Haru's hair before going to Gokudera's place. He stopped right after he passed the brunette, looking over his shoulder "Trust me on this one Haru. You have a bright future ahead of you, and Hayato is the man that will really make you happy." Tsuna stated as he continued to walk towards Gokudera.
Haru just smiled again before going back to the kitchen.
"Hayato, are there any progress… what happened to Nezu?" Tsuna asked, raising an elegant brow. He stalked over to Nezu's side, wondering how he got that red bump on his head. "I just got here myself but Misaki told me that Har uhh… Hahi-onna performed a bridge on him… she thought he was a pedophile… PPFFT!" Gokudera fought the snicker that may turn into an unstoppable laugh. Tsuna though leaned on one of the walls, also trying to suppress his own laughter.
A minute or two passed, and they successfully pushed their laughter aside.
"As I was saying, Hayato, are there any progress on your group?"
Gokudera looked down and in three… two… one… "I BEG FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS JUUDAIME!" He went on his knees and started to bang his head on the hard floor. "WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROGRESS EVER SINCE WE HAVE STARTED! I'M SO SORRY! I'M SO SORRY! I'M SO SORRY! I'M SO SORRY! I DON'T DESERVE TO BE YOUR RIGHT-HAND MAN! I'M PATHETIC! I'M USELESS! I'M—"
"You don't have to apologize! It's naturally hard to light one's ring and of course that results to slow progress! So raise your head!"
Gokudera stopped banging his head on the floor and looked up to his benevolent boss. But his face though… is very… VERY red, covered with his blood from all those banging. His eyes suddenly glimmered, and imaginary dog ears and tails appeared. "You are the kindest man I have ever met Juudaime!"
The brunet just smiled at his right-hand man's antics. He went to Gokudera's laptop, and scanned the PowerPoint presentation. He turned to the Storm and Lightning class. He cleared his throat before speaking "Resolution is a requirement in lighting up your ring. The purer the resolution, the stronger the flame, that's how it goes. If you are having trouble in finding your resolution, all you have to do is find the thing the you are very determined in, when you have found it, concentrate and think the image of the flame." Tsuna showed his own ring. His ring was one long one in the middle and another at his pinky, which were connected by a chain.
He clenched his fist, a blinding orange light followed after. "This flame is your resolution. Now imagine it and convert it into reality."
One by one, the students closed their eyes, and held out their ring. All of them are full on concentrating and none were willing to back down (Actually, they're treating it as a contest…).
While they were busy, trying to release a flame, Tsuna helped himself with a book and plopped down to one of the available chairs.
"I still can't believe that Reborn chose this class for 'that' event." Tsuna wondered out loud. His sudden voicing made those people lose concentration. Tsuna just gave them an apologetic look.
"Well, they were also held captive by the Estraneo family so it was the inevitable, Juudaime." Gokudera answered.
"It's easy to guess really. It's the omertá right?" With this, Gokudera nodded and went to his boss' right side.
"Reborn-san told me that we're also responsible for it."
"Haha… I know. I still remember it like it was yesterday. The class seeing me fight that time, made themselves involved in this underground world. I agreed to Reborn that they would be part of the mafia, so they would be protected… But what I didn't expect that they'd be part of the event."
"It must be hard…"
"Let me tell you about one thing that happened during the event, Hayato. During that event, the …" The last part of Tsuna's words sounded mute, his eyes had a dramatic change in emotion and all Gokudera can do was look at him with disbelieving eyes, he found himself gasping for air. The world seemed to slow down when he said those words.
"P-Please t-t-tell me y-you're joking…" The Storm guardian stammered.
"Hayato… I never tell those kinds of jokes." The boss said in a very stern voice. He joined his fingers and rested there his chin. "At that very moment, Vongola faced another crisis but we managed to win at the very end... Listen to me very closely Hayato." Tsuna stood up; placing his hands on both shoulders of his right-hand man "Tell this to the others, got it?" Gokudera nodded. "Be wary of your surroundings. The participants have a thing or two under their sleeves. Practice coordination at all cost and practice doing joint attacks!"
"AH! Mou~! Shut up already! All those shenanigans you two are talking about makes us lose our concentration!" One of the students complained.
Tsuna flashed an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry… We'll be quieter." After that he faced his Storm guardian, switching back their language to Italian, but quieter this time.
"Juudaime… How did that happen?"
"Unfortunately, that's all I can say. If I say more, that would create a time paradox. Beside… everything that I told is what you said to my younger self right after my time in this place is up."
"Yatta! I did it!" Lucy exclaimed. All eyes laid on the blonde, whose ring had a weak lightning flame. The brunet went to her, examining the flame made by her ring.
"Hmm… it's weak but, with a few more practice, it would be more noticeable. Keep it up."
The others, not wanting to lose, decided to put even more effort in to lighting their ring. One by one, everybody managed to light their rings.
"Heh~ It seems that everyone who lit their ring, tried to understand our conversation just now huh?" Bingo. Those flinches just answered his question. No wonder they didn't light their ring… They were too focused on what the two were talking about. "Mah. Inject the ring into the hole found on the box." He ordered.
They did inject the ring into the box. The hesitantly removed their ring and the box slowly opened. The Storm group's boxes had guns powered by storm flames and the Lightning group had a pair of daggers.
"If I didn't give out that hint, lighting your rings would take 30 hours or more." Tsuna chuckled then went to who-knows-where.
The day passed quickly, and Gokudera had a very important message to deliver… He called for an emergency meeting, even though TYL Tsuna was still there. He can tell the news to Tsuna when the Tsuna of this time returns. 'Fuck it all! Why did this have to happen?! Damn it.' He cursed even more as he went to the meeting room.
"This is just pure shit and fuck! I need to hurry and tell them…"
~OWARI~
-OMAKE-
TSUNAKO-CHAN?
-10 YEARS IN THE FUTURE-
"A-re… mist? Fog in the air? Where is this place?" Tsuna wondered. He looked from side to side, hoping to find his way out. He managed to take the few steps safely but thanks to his clumsy feet, he fell down to the hot tub. "HIEEE! I'm drowning! I'm drowning!"
"Tsuna!" Somebody slammed the door open. The man had short spiky hair and a scar below his chin. Tsuna immediately recognized the man.
"Yamamoto!"
"Tsuna? Did you shrink or something?"
"Eh? Yamamoto… it's me… Tsuna from ten years ago."
"Oh? No wonder you've gotten smaller! Hahaha!" The tall man casually puts his hands behind his head. "Hm? What's wrong Tsuna? Are you looking for something?"
"Kyoko-chan."
"Oh? Sasagawa… I mean Sawada Kyoko right?" Tsuna blushed but nodded nonetheless. "She's in the kitchen, feeding Tsunako-chan."
Tsuna tilted her head "Who's Tsunako?"
Yamamoto laughed. "She's your daughter."
"WHA?! I HAVE A DAUGHTER?!"

Yeah… I made this chapter so~ long : I feel so proud for typing something this long. Haa~~~ It's an accomplishment ^_^
Did you like the Nezu-bashing? Hahaha… abuse of the old *derp face*
I am so sorry for Gokudera's extremely long explanation *nose bleed* And expect TYL Tsuna for the coming chapters too! :D
Can any of you guess who or what Tsuna and Hayato were talking about?
Oh… and before you leave, do you want drawings? Just request to me/PM one and I'll make it (Truth be told I'm addicted to drawing as well)… I'm not so sure when will I show it though. I have summer training and my paint tool SAI just expired… and I really take my time coloring them… maa.. it's all up to you. But if you want to see it, even though it's not colored, still in pencil form or maybe in lineart form, just tell me or PM me.
-Review?
-Ciao~!
