I can't really turn a blind eye… so…

Chapter 18: Which is which?

xxXXxx

Flabbergasted, stunned, dumbfound, unexpected, and so many other emotions to describe the current situation. Why did he sound like someone else? Did he forget everyone he had spent time with? Is this real? No one could say what was actually happening. It was split into many divisions.

Good news, their boss was back. Bad news, he forgot who he's with. Good news, he's not dead. Bad news, how can they compete with a boss with no memories of his underlings?

The brunet just stared at them with wide curious eyes. His eyes scanned the room. The other occupants had eyes that had hints of relief and worry. The brunet just stared.

Gokudera, the ever trusting right-hand man, dashed to his boss' side and grabbed him by the shoulders. "Juudaime! What are you saying?!" He gently shook the confused boss. "We—!"

"AH! Tako-head! HAHAHA!" Tsuna shouted, causing puppydera to wither and turn into dust.

The dust fluttered to one corner and Gokudera reverted back to human form. A gloomy atmosphere filled the silverette's place, "He called me Tako-head… Juudaime just called me Tako-head! What's worse is that he sounds just like that annoying cow brat!"

Cue the sweat drops. The poor right-hand man continued muttering the same words as he created circles on the floor. Yamamoto took it as his turn to talk to Tsuna next.

"Yo!"

"Baseball idiot?" Tsuna tilted his head to the side. Hearing him say it sounded so innocent yet so insulting.

Not long enough, Yamamoto was in the same mood and place as Gokudera. "I never thought that THAT same insult from Gokudera could hurt me so much…"

"OUUU! THIS MY EXTREME TIME TO SHINE!" Ryohei pumped his fist in the air and jogged to Tsuna's place. "SAWADA!"

Tsuna squeaked in surprise and took a few steps back. He looked somehow scared of Ryohei, perhaps it was because he had his fists up and he was talking very loud. A little comment went past his lips and had Ryohei going in the same state as the rain and storm guardian. "Muscle head"

"Hearing Sawada say something like that made me extremely down…"

A poorly drawn Yamamoto patted the sun guardian's back, "We know…"

The brunet had a hard time processing the current happenings. Who are they? And why did they keep calling him with different names? Moments later, he felt a pair of heterochromatic eyes stare at him. The feeling of him staring made the brunet shudder. It was creepy. He didn't want to look back, but when he did, that guy was already walking to his direction.

Mukuro smirked at the sight of the shivering brunet. "Kufufu… Sawada Tsunayoshi, it seems—"

"Hentai pineapple…" the brunet managed to say.

"You can't hurt me with your words, Tsunayoshi-kun." The mist guardian triumphantly stated. He stood proudly and tapped his trident. "It seems like you're not actually Tsunayoshi-kun…" He commented.

With a cheeky grin, the brunet showed his hands and formed ice without the use of his gloves. "About time someone noticed!" He threw the ice to the proud pineapple—which Mukuro successfully dodged but hit the back of Gokudera's head instead. "I'm Zero! Dame-Tsuna is still unconscious and Hyper is in the middle of trying to take-over…" Zero held out a peace sign and kicked Mukuro's prized possession. Said person, knelt down with a matching curse at it happened. "I can see why Dame-Tsuna is very wary of you…"

Zero strode to the nearest table and grabbed whatever food was there. Just as he was about to take a bite, a certain arcobaleno came flying down and kicked him on the face. "This is interesting…" Reborn commented. "Looks like we have two more versions of Tsuna." He added, mushing Zero's face.

On the floor, Zero was struggling to get Reborn out of his face. "Stop ruining my face..!" He weakly protested.

"Not until I finish a good design."

Zero's eyes morphed from dark brown to bright orange. He grabbed the sun arcobaleno from the back and sat up. "This face already has a good design." He flatly answered.

"Oh. You're Hyper."

"Correct." With that, Hyper placed Reborn back to the ground and repeated the actions Zero did when he first surfaced. "What is this place?"

Reborn jumped and landed on Hyper's shoulder, "This is a plane."

Everyone noticed the sudden shine in his eyes as he dashed to the nearest window. "We're flying!" He exclaimed. Hyper pressed his face further on the window, causing the rest of the occupants to sweat drop once more. One mental conclusion was made:

Hyper and Zero are rather childish at a point.

Hyper retracted his face off the window and his hand moved itself as it slapped Hyper.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Everyone shouted.
(From here on… Bold=Hyper, Italic=Zero, Normal=Tsuna)

"Why were you pressing your face on the window?—It was on impulse—HAHAHA! You looked so STUPID!"

Tsuna… or whoever was talking became the spotlight for the occupants. They gathered around the brunet who was talking to himself. He looked like he was a crazy person for talking to himself.

Gokudera, who finally got over his first-ever insult from Juudaime, went into the crowed. "JUUDAIME!" He shouted and grabbed his boss by the shoulders again, "Why didn't you tell me sooner that it was someone else?!"

"You're that puppy that always hangs around Tsunayoshi. Who are you anyway?" Without a single shred of sensitivity, Hyper blurted it out. Gokudera felt a spotlight shine upon him as he went down on all fours. "To Juudaime… I was a puppy..!" He closed his eyes shut and shed a single dramatic tear.

"AAHHH! Gokudera-kun! That wasn't me!" Tsuna shouted, going to Gokudera's side. Now Tsuna was also in the spotlight. He had teary eyes that seemed to ask Gokudera's forgiveness. On cue, some of the naughty members of the mist group created illusionary rose petals and surrounded the two.

"Ju…Juudaime..?" Gokudera can feel the boss that he knew. Moments later, an illusionary rose petal fluttered about on Gokudera's nose, making him sneeze right in front of his boss. "OHMYFUCKING—I'm so SORRY!"

"Yuck… You really are an octopus, you know that? You just release yucky ink when he tension rises." Zero non-chalantly commented as he wiped the stuff off of his face. His eyes turned into comical dots as he realized what came out of his mouth. "Gokudera-kun..?"

Tsuna paled at the side of a defeated Gokudera. "HIIEEE! IT WASN'T ME! IT WASN'T ME! IT WASN'T ME!" Then, another naughty member of the mist group played a song. (Boku ja nai~ Boku ja nai~ Boku ja nai~~). The brunet shot a crying face at those who were taking advantage of the situation, "Stop that..!" He weakly shouted.

The moment they stopped the spotlight and rose petal illusions, a large flame engulfed the whole mist group with the exemption of Chrome. "Who dares to make Tsunayoshi cry?!" Hyper shouted, brandishing the now activated X-gloves. Soon enough, the flame was forcefully withdrawn, "HIIEE! I'M SO SORRY! BUT THAT WASN'T ME!" Tsuna shouted in protest.

Yamamoto and Ryohei, who were finally out of misery, helped Gokudera stand up. He was white as a ghost and the gloomy atmosphere around him grew larger compared to the other one awhile ago. "This will be a little confusing, ne?" Yamamoto said with Ryohei nodding in response. "Sawada is extremely out of control!"

From the sidelines, Lal felt rather uneasy for the first time as she saw Reborn smirk—which looked more dangerous than usual. "What's up, Reborn..?" She carefully asked.

"Hmph. I'll be enjoying this." Was Reborn's comment.

"Reborn-sempai looks scarier than usual…" Skull whispered to the person next to him—which happened to be Fon.

The storm arcobaleno took a deep breath and said ."I can't comment on that…"

TO BE CONTINUED

DONE! :D

ANY THOUGHTS?
