Chapter 2
Falling Out
Author's Note: Wao~ 2 reviews and 4 followers for this story ^_^ Thank you! This is not a bad start at all. Do share if you think this is worth reading~ I promise I won't drop this story. I've never dropped my stories (if you have seen my profile) and I won't be doing it any time soon.
Tsuna was not surprised when Reborn refused to show his face. Everyone should have heard the news by now. Irie and Spanner were concerned. "Decimo, is this really alright? Don't you want to explain?"
Tsuna smiled at the blonde boy. "It's better this way." Irie looked skeptical but did not say anything. The boy felt terrible for agreeing to the brunet's request. He felt pity for the original guardians. "I only wish Tsuna-kun can be happy. If this is what he thinks would be the best, I won't question it."
Tsuna had been given the cold shoulder treatment by almost everyone. Gokudera stalked him from afar. Mukuro was still missing and doing what Mukuro usually does. Hibari bites him to death as per usual which was a relief even if it hurt Tsuna to know he was unaffected. Yamamoto still talked to him but they no longer walked to school together.
Tsuna lamented the fact that he had to send Lambo away along with the other children. Lambo cried buckets that day until he fainted. The one who carried him away was Gokudera. The silver haired bomber was also silent in school. He no longer spoke to Tsuna even if Tsuna knew the man was still guarding over him secretly and stalking him. He spends most of his nights on the tree outside of Tsuna's house.
Kyoko and Hana had noticed the strange change in behavior but no one would tell them anything. Tsuna could only smile apologetically and say it was his fault. Haru continued to talk to Tsuna and Tsuna did his best to distance himself from her. It was difficult for him but he knew it was for the best.
Only Ryohei has yet to make his stand clear on what he wanted to do. He was missing from school and more surprisingly, the boxing club activities. No one had seen the boxer, not even his own sister.
Kyoko had mentioned that Ryohei packed his bags and left for the mountains to do some extreme training. That worried Tsuna a little. He expected Ryohei to confront him directly with fists. However when the boxer had gone missing, Tsuna was beginning to question himself. "Did I do the right thing?"
Reborn was still observing his student. He had never expected Tsuna to be capable of doing something so cold hearted. After all that they had gone through, Tsuna had cast them out without second thoughts. After denying the position of the Vongola Don, he waltzed in without hesitation and claimed the title. He stood on his perch like everything was owed to him and that he had the right to do everything.
Even when Hibari picked a fight with Tsuna, instead of allowing himself to be hit, the brunet had dodged it and escaped the prefect. It had annoyed the prefect and ever since then, the prefect had made an effort not to bother the brunet again. Reborn knew part of Hibari was satisfied to see the brunet grow a spine but then another part of the aloof man was deeply hurt by the trust he placed in that man.
Mukuro was untraceable. Tsuna had used his power as the Vongola Don to demand the Vindicere to free the illusionist. He kept his promise after all and also he found donors for Chrome. When asked why he bothered to keep such a promise, Reborn was given a cold reply. "To uphold the respectable image of a Vongola Don." It shocked the hit man. Even if this was the answer he should have been happy with, Reborn felt unease. What had caused his student to make a 180 degree change?
Tsuna was careful with how he acted when he sensed Reborn around. Contary to what Reborn claim to know about reading minds, all the hit man was good at would be reading people's train of thought through how they behaved and their expressions. Shamal had laughed at Tsuna once when Tsuna shared with him how Reborn had read his mind and ruined his potential date with Kyoko once by organizing an outing with his guardians. It had been news to Tsuna and now it became something he noted to thank the perverted doctor for.

Ryohei felled another large tree with a powerful punch. It was just a regular strike. He did not even have to use maximum canon to do so. It showed how much stronger he had become after training in the future. He was sure he had become strong enough to be worthy of becoming someone Tsuna could acknowledge as a guardian. He may not be the best and has much more to improve on but he knew he was good enough. So why is Tsuna doing this to them?
"I extremely don't get it Sawada. What did I do wrong? I have to have an extreme talk with you but I extremely don't know what to say!"
Another large tree was fallen. Ryohei shouted at the top of his lungs in frustration. Thinking wasn't his thing. That was for the octopus head to do. He was better at throwing punches and that was just what he would do.

Tsuna was slightly surprised when he saw Ryohei waiting for him on his usual route to school. However he kept his composed expression and wore the perfect mask of a boss. "Hello sempai, it's been some time since I saw you."
Ryohei eyed Tsuna for a few seconds. "Sawada, meet me in the gym at three after school. We'll settle this once and for all."
Still smiling, Tsuna told the boxer that he was not obliged to meet up and walked past the senior calmly. Ryohei snapped and dragged Tsuna's collar. However the moment Ryohei laid hands on Tsuna, three Mosca like guardians appeared from nowhere. They held Ryohei down while Tsuna gave an apologetic smile before walking away.
"Sawada! I don't extremely understand why you are doing this but I know you won't run away from a fight! Fight me to the extreme like a man!"
Tsuna continued to walk, ignoring the stares and the commotion.
"SAWADA!"
Tsuna had to steel himself to not turn back and continued to walk forward, each step feeling as excruciating as he felt the stab at his heart. He mentally told himself it was for the best. "I won't apologise."
The flame in his eyes never dulled even if pain was something that would be permanently reflected in them. Tsuna vowed he will protect them no matter the price he had to pay. He already sold his soul to the devil and there was no more salvation for him.
