A/N:
I'm thinking of doing this into a first person point of view… It seems like that the Third person is doing cranky and bad… +.+" I apologize for that.. I always mess up… *sigh* So here it comes the 7th chapter of Skies in a Dream…
Enjoy.
Dame's P.O.V.
After I was teased and mocked by Towa and Moyashi, I sat by the bridge and stared at the moon's enlarged reflection by the river. The 7 stars were formed a ring around the moon, I smiled lightly as I remember when Guardians did that every time we engaged to battle. Tonfas were reluctant at first but soon joined the ring; I chuckled at the memory of his usually stoic face changing in a very unnoticeable way.
"You okay Dame?" a voice called from behind. I turned my head over my shoulder to see Moyashi and Towa.
"Look we're sorry. We didn't mean making fun of you." Moyashi apologized. "I'm very sorry!" he bowed.
"Yes I am too!" Towa followed his suit. My vision's getting a little blurry, I wonder why. "But I didn't think that it would send you to tears!" Tears?
I quickly wiped the falling liquid out of my face. SO that's why my vision was getting blurry. Damn these traitor liquids. " H-Hey! C'mon! Head up! I'm not crying because of it!" I assured. They immediately lifted their heads and their silver and sapphire eyes looking at him with relief and curiousity.
"Really?" Towa asked as she rise from her position. I nodded.
"Then why are you crying?" Moyashi asked as he hopped on the rail across mine and Towa followed him but instead of sitting on the rail she just crouched down and sat. Their eyes were on me but I averted my eyes and looked up to the dark sky.
"I just remembered a time with Guardians." I said solemnly, tears were starting to cloud my eyes again.
"A happy memory?"
"I think so… Amusing I think is the right term for it." I chuckled.
Silence enveloped around us. But not awkward silence, a peaceful silence that we need.
"Don't you think it's a bit sad to say that we're only just a memory now?"
"…"
"That we don't belong to the present anymore… That we're just a piece of… memory." As I looked at the stars intently, I remembered the time when Star and Gyoza believed me once, being naïve children they were… But Tutor slapped the truth on them, the partial truth… I myself was surprised to act a long, and how much I regretted it? I regretted it as if my mom died, no it wasn't mom who died, my bonds to everyone died.
=Flash back=
I was there hearing the courageous remarks of Stars to Tutor, remarks of making me the 'nicest' big brother he ever had… I can warmness spread in my chest, I was glad that someone was still standing up for me… But Star was a naïve child. Yes I admit he was smart to guess that I 'killed'. Even he didn't finished the sentence earlier my intuition says that Star knew it. But he didn't saw the way I acted.
"I know Nii-san has an explanation for it!" he cried.
"Explanation?" Tutor huffed. "Did you see it how that monster-"
"He isn't a monster!"
"-with your own eyes?" I heard a gasp, probably form Star. I sighed mentally. I heard loud and fast stomps and I quickly made a descion that made my life change so much. After settling everything under seconds, I willed myself to act as the person they thought who I really was: A cold blood murderer.
"Nii-san! Are you there the whole time?!" Star gasped for the second time, Gyoza still in his hands. I'm surprised that she didn't woke up in the middle of that shouting. To answer his question I nodded. "Y-you killed?" nod. "Mercilessly?" he added, hope lingers in his voice, eyes were watery. But here I am breaking it all. With a simple nod my life changed.
"Yes I did. At last! I don't have to act as a 'nice' guy even in front of you guys!" I acted, hoping my acting was able to convince the boy. "Yes I killed. And how fun it was!" I said, adding an evil laugh. "I was even wondering how I can reveal everything to you. I planned that stupid cow would tell you but no! He was simply a coward! A coward for simple word! What a wimp! He destroyed my plan! Well.." I trailed off looking to Tutor's obsidian eyes. "I guess I don't have to since you already spilled the beans. I thank you that." I gave him a mocking bow. "Since the cat is out of the bag I have to leave. I suppose no one here wants to see me more." I turned around and started walking towards my room. Before I was able to grab the knob on my door, there was a tug on my shirt. I looked down to see Star looking to his shoes, his face was shadowed by his hair.
"What about Maman? Didn't she cared for you?" he asked, His body started shaking, he was about to cry.
"Oh that stupid, air-headed mother of mine? She's nothing. Now get out of my sight before I get annoyed to your presence and lash out everything on you." I threatened to the small boy, spilling the killing intent that I practiced for months. He staggered away from me and I took this chance to walk inside my room and slammed the door at his face
Everything I said pained me, every word staked my heart, every movement ruined me. Now everything is a wreck. Stupid me.
=End of Flashback=
"It sure is sad." Moyashi said. He too looked at the stars, a hand raised up to the sky, as if trying to touch it. "We're nothing but memories for the past now." I can see the grief inside those silver orbs. I can tell that Moyashi had experienced with death or betrayal.
Fuuta's P.O.V.
I never believed in his words. Not once. I believed that he needed help, but was restraining to get some, after all he knew his truth would only turned into reasons. Before he slammed the door unto my face I had a good look on his eyes and wished that everything would happen in the future will be bright and filled with smiles.
But as of now, everything was nothing but a dull world. You would've preferred reading a 1000-pages novel of children drabbles and all of Sherlock Holmes novels continuously at least they were filled with hope and happiness unlike when you talk to those sky-less people. The people who lost their Sky, their one and only Sky.
I-pin had agreed with me after I told her my opinion for everything and kept her mouth shut. But now the both of us were itching to tell everything. We we're naïve but we're not idiots. I gave I-pin a look, she complied with a nod. It's decided we're going to tell everyone about our opinion to slap everyone some sense. We will have every Guardian to go to Tsuna-nii, that includes Hibari-nii and Mukuro-nii. We'll even gather courage to stand up to Reborn, it was hard when I was still a child but I have to get everything through. We'll do everything what it takes for them to listen to us.
"Hey, Lambo." I called out, in response groaned. "Would you mind going with us?"
"Where?" he asked.
"A surprise." I said, winking at I-pin. The cow started to move around, he wasn't the complaining boy I used to know. I sighed mentally. When he was at the bathroom, I looked at the Chinese girl. "Commence Operation: Reveal." I said.
"Roger." She said, standing up and gave a mocking salute. "I'll call for Master and ask some… help." With that she left the room.
Just as I said, well do anything to slap some sense. Even if means to bribe 3 Arcobalenos to help us.
