CHAPTER 34- The Truth Behind the Break Up
It was a fine day in the Vongola Headquarters until I received a disturbing news.
"An attack was sighted at the east side of Palermo. It was lead by one of the rival family of Vongola.
"Don't tell the others about this I'm going alone", I told the person in charge.
"But Lady Tsuna...", he replied and I just gave him a smile.
"I'll be fine...don't worry about me"
Giotto's POV
I was doing my usual paperworks until I can hear a lot of screaming outside. I looked at the window and saw the medical team tending someone's wounds. Knuckles and Rhea were already there and with my hyper intuition I know that Rhea's crying.
I opened the door and I saw some maids scurrying in the hallway. I asked someone what's happening outside until I was answered by a shocking news.
"Lady Tsuna was found injured during her battle with the Brutto Famiglia. Right now she is tended by the medical team"
"What? Order the medical team to place her in the infirmary", I ordered and the maid hurried downstairs.
"Tsuna was hurt? I didn't know there was an attack. So why?" I mentally thought and went to the infirmary.
Most of her wounds are healed but she was not moving. I hurried to her bedside together with the Arceo and other Guardians.
"How's Tsuna Knuckles?" I asked my Sun Guardian who was at that time pumping a lot of Sun Flames to Tsuna's body.
"She's in a very worse condition Giotto. Her wounds however are only minimal but her psychological state is affected", Knuckles said. "If her mind gives up, I think it will be too late"
"I never knew there was an attack today", Viole said and everyone also nodded.
"The officer in charge told me that Tsuna was the first to know the attack and told the personnel to keep quiet about it. She fought the whole Brutto family by herself", Knuckles explained and my eyes widened.
Tsuna fought the whole Brutto family by herself? That's suicide...
"The Brutto Family is known to have a lot of illusionists, Tsuna defeated the whole family but I think she was overly exposed to the illusions. Even if one is trained to counter attack illusions, no person can escape from an attack done by a group of illusionists", Daemon said and we all paled.
"Is there a way to heal her mind then?" I asked and Rhea answered the question.
"There is, but it's too risky and we don't even know the proper procedure to do it", Rhea answered and the girls started to cry. To think that we had a lot of fun yesterday.
"Are we going to just stand here then and do nothing? HIME-SAMA IS SLOWLY DYING AND I CAN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING", Hayate bursted out and started to cry. " I fail as her right-hand woman"
Seconds turn into minutes and minutes turn into hours.
"If we don't act, her body and mind will soon give up. Judging by her condition and what kind of person is Tsuna, she'll have a full day left. A normal person will just live for 2 more hours", Knuckles stated.
"I'll help you then", a voice said and a pure Sky flame appeared to reveal Sheila di Cielo, the first Sky Protector of the Sky.
"Tsuna and I share the same mind, so I can open a path for all of you. I can transfer you to her mind", Sheila said. "The Brutto family illusionists made her remember all her memories and turned them into nightmares, I can't accompany you but I can bring you to the exact memory"
"What must we do then?"Arisa asked and Sheila gave a sad smile.
"As long as her memories will be fixed, then Tsuna will wake up. Her psychological state will return to normal. Make a memorable memory for her okay, Tsuna has experienced a lot of pain already", Sheila said. "Aprire il percorso per le memorie che hanno causato l'incubo"(Open the path to the memories that caused the nightmare)
"I trust you Tenth Generation Vongola and Second Generation Arceo to return her to normal"
A blinding light surrounded us and when we opened our eyes, we were in front of a mirror like thing. We decided to enter it and another flash of light appeared once again and this time we were in front of Tsuna's house three years ago. The same house we visited when we went to Japan.
"Where are we...?" G asked and we saw a 15 year old version of me arriving at the front gates wearing the school uniform of Nanimori Middle School.
"I can guess we were transported 3 years back to the past", I answered and continued to look at the scene.
"Tsuna, if you don't hurry up we're going to be late", the 15-year old version of me yelled and after a few seconds a 14 year-old version of Tsuna appeared from inside the house wearing the girl uniform and in her mouth is a piece of toast.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My alarm clock broke and honestly I don't know what time it is", the younger Tsuna said and the younger me laughed. We also laughed.
"Don't worry we still have 30 minutes to spare", the younger me said and was smacked by the younger Tsuna.
"Yasu...I could have slept for 15 more minutes", she said.
"Sorry...why don't I treat you with an ice cream on our way to the school", the younger me said and the younger Tsuna beamed with a smile.
"Hime-sama was also very beautiful when she was younger however she has a brighter smile back then", Hayate said.
"Really Yasu? Then I want a double scoop of Vanilla and Strawberry", the younger Tsuna said and started to walk the usual way to school.
We followed them two meters behind but then we discovered that we adapted a ghost like form..meaning no one can see us. So we shortened our distance to a meter to hear the conversation.
After buying the ice cream they went directly to the classroom while we watched from afar.
"So what's the memory of this day Giotto?"Kyoya asked and I thought about it.
"Nothing really important, just a normal day", I answered.
"Then I wonder why we were transported here", Laela said and we explored the area. At three o'clock we went back in front of Tsuna's house just in time for the younger Tsuna and my younger self to arrive.
"Thanks for walking me home once again Yasu", the younger Tsuna said and the younger me smiled and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"No problem, don't get into trouble okay", the younger me said and Tsuna smiled again.
"So judging by the actions, you were already a couple in this time. How cute", Arisa said and the females all screamed.
After a few minutes a black limousine appeared...clearly a property from the Vongola. We waited for someone to step outside and when it happened I was shocked. The one who got out from the limousine was no other than my father- Giovanni di Vongola.
"Dad? I never knew he visited Tsuna", I said and we saw him went to the doorstep and knock the door. After a minute, Tsuna opened the door.
"Sir Taru? Is there a reason for you to visit me?" the younger Tsuna said.
"Can both of us talk?" my father said and Tsuna completely opened the door and invited my father inside. Shortly we followed by passing through the door like ghosts.
The younger Tsuna asked if my father wants any drink in which he declined.
"What I'm going to tell you is only short so just sit down", my father said and Tsuna sat down across him.
"There's no use beating around the bush so I'll be direct to the point...break up with my son...end your relationship with Ieyasu"
My eyes widened and everyone gasped. My father told Tsuna to break up with me?
"I beg your pardon Sir Taru? Did I hear you just right?" the younger Tsuna said not believing what she heard.
"You heard what I said jut fine Tsuna. I told you to end your relationship with my son", my father replied.
"But may I ask why Sir? I didn't do anything bad to Ieyasu right?"
"You didn't but you may in the future. You see my son has a very bright future ahead and I know when that time comes you will just be a burden for him. In other words I don't approve you to be my son's partner", my father said and I can't help but form my palm into a fist. "So what will it take you to follow my wish. Money? Jewellery? A mansion? I can give you anything you want"
"I don't want anything from you Sir, being with Ieyasu is enough. Tell me what I lack and I'll do everything to change to become the person you want Ieyasu to be with", Tsuna exclaimed with tears forming in the corner of her eyes.
"Whatever you do, you'll never be the person I want Ieyasu to be with. I know that you love my son so if you love him, you will do everything to make him happy right? And he will be happy with another person more suited for him"
"But...", Tsuna said with tears already leaking from her eyes.
"I don't want to do this thing but if you insist to be with my son then I'll do everything to fire your father from his job and also your father's friends. You don't want that right?" my father said and Tsuna was already a teary mess. "So what's your answer Tsunayuki Sawada?"
"I'll do it, I'll break up with Ieyasu just leave my father and his friends from this", Tsuna replied.
"I know you are an intelligent girl so you would understand, you and Ieyasu are from different worlds and no matter what you do you can never be in our world", my father said and went out the door.
"I never thought that Mr. Giovanni did that to Tsuna", Chrome said and we all sadly look at the scene of a crying 14 year old Tsuna. Suddenly another flash of light appeared and this time we were transported to the park, two weeks after my father visited.
"Say Tsuna, you're really cold to me for the last two weeks. Did something happen maybe I can help?"my younger self asked a silent Tsuna.
"There's nothing wrong Ieyasu, you're just over thinking. I'm perfectly fine", Tsuna coldly answered and I remembered the scene, this is the time when we broke up. "Say Ieyasu, I've been meaning to tell you something lately".
"What's it Tsuna? You know you can always ask me anything you want", the younger me smiled.
"I know this is very sudden but this is the right time to tell you this. Ieyasu Taru I don't hold any feelings for you anymore, let's break up" Tsuna said and once again everybody gasped.
"This is a joke Tsuna right? Tell me is there something wrong? Maybe I can help you with it", my younger self nervously asked.
"There is nothing you can do Ieyasu, everything's over you can't do anything to save this relationship anymore. Now that you are hearing this, LEAVE", Tsuna shouted and the younger me dejectedly walked away.
"So that's what happened during your break up...it's really a tearful one", Laela said.
"Goodbye Ieyasu", we heard the young Tsuna softly said. "This is for the best"
After that she started to cry, and kneeled on the ground repeatedly saying I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say, I didn't know that this was the real truth about the sudden break up. I don't know what to feel, should I be happy or be angry? But seeing the scene in front of me I can't help but cry, not only for Tsuna but also for our long lost love.
I started to approach Tsuna and placed a hand on her shoulder. It's a good thing that when we were transported we were wearing a black cloak with a hood to cover our face.
I don't know why but that time my body seems very solid and when I touched Tsuna's shoulder she looked at me.
"Who are you? I'm sorry to let you see me in this condition", the younger Tsuna said.
"I'm someone concerned about you, so what happened?" I slowly asked.
"Was my decision of breaking up with the man I love a good one if that means his happiness?" the younger Tsuna questioned me and after a minute I came up with an answer.
"The past is past and you can't change that but there is still a future isn't there? In the future do everything you can to be with him...because I know he'll also be waiting for you"
"Thank you Mister...that helped me a lot", the young Tsuna said and gave me a smile. I smiled in return and suddenly we were engulfed in a bright light and when we opened our eyes we are back in the infirmary wearing our usual clothes.
Knuckles then checked Tsuna's vital signs and happily sighed.
"She's okay now, her mind is in a normal state, she'll just need some time to rest", Knuckles said and all cheered.
"So now that you know everything, what will you do now Giotto?" G asked and everyone looked at me.
"I'll keep my word, as I have said I'm waiting for her"
