Takeshi's P.O.V

"Do you think Juudaime could forgive us?" Gokudera asked out of blue. His eyes were staring at the almost-look-alike of his, a sick friend of our new friends.

"I don't think so Gokudera…" I trailed off, I know my usual cheeriness disappeared. "Not after 6 months of ignoring him and slowly killing him emotionally… I don't think he-"

"Boss is a good guy…" A soft voice said, and it was Chrome's. "H-He would de-definitely forgive us…"

"But…"

"Tsuna-nii's mad at us…" Lambo added

"Sawada… He was carrying all of those… He even moved away… For our sake…" Ryohei said with his abnormally unenthusiastic voice.

"He always cared for us…" Chrome said. Then again she was on the verge of crying.

"Yes, Tsuna always did…" A sad smile graced my face. "Always that he ends up hurting himself just for our own sake…"

=FLASH BACK=

I was working at the shop when I received a call from I-pin. She said something about a U.F.O. crashing down to Namimori right now, I chuckled at her joke and went out to check if it was true. Surely it wouldn't hurt to check right? But I was wrong. It hurt. It hurts A LOT.

Something big like a boulder came crashing down on to me, normally I wouldn't lost consciousness but then I saw Dad hitting a certain pressure point behind my neck with the hilt of a knife. "Sorry son." He mumbled before I lost my consciousness.

=DREAM=

Tsuna was there, sitting by the seaside drawing spirals at the wet sand. It was a serene moment, the sun was setting giving us a tranquil atmosphere between the two us… I wish that childish and peaceful face of his remained, not making a cold blooded murderer face. I never imagined that Tsuna would kill heartlessly, taking lives as if it was ants. But then again, just as Reborn said, it was all just an act, an act that he was tired off.

I remembered this time it was during his 15th birthday. He went missing before nightfall and I was the one who found him.

"Ne, Yamamoto…" he called, then a year younger me sat beside Tsuna.

"What is it Tsuna?" younger me said. I cursed myself for being naïve at that time, naïve for trusting a guy like him.

"Wh-what if I killed? Wo-would you hate me?" he asked.

"Hm? You killed? That's gotta be a joke!" I laughed

=End of dream=

"TAKESHI-NII! Wake up!" Fuuta shook me hard. I bolted up in surprise, making both of our heads hit. I wionced in pain and Fuuta crouched down and touched the place where I hit him. "Ite!"

"S-sorry! I didn't mean to!" I apologized, quickly heading to aid the boy.

"I-it's alright Takeshi-nii." He smiled weakly. "Now that everyone's awake shall we start?"

Everyone? Awake?

I whipped up my head to see that I am currently inside a hospital room, and every guardian was in there. I repeat EVERY. Which means HIbari and Mukuro is also included. Reborn was also there, sitting at Gokudera's shoulder and jumped onto mine. I-pin and Fuuta was in center of attention, and everyone was glaring at them. I wonder why?

Then I realized whose hospital room this was. I turned my head to see a brown mob by the white pillow and a face that I really pained me to see.

"W-why?" I staggered away from the bed and stared at the children.

"State your reason in knocking all of us." Reborn demanded, turning Leon into a pistol and pointed at Fuuta.

"Oya, Oya it seems like you build up courage to kidnap us all.~" Mukuro sang dangerously as his trident formed under the indigo mist.

"Tch, Herbivores. I'll bite you to death for knocking me out." Hibari said as he dangerouslybrought out his tonfas. What surprised me that both the kids have flinched under those murderous glares and threats, even Gokudera who was always hearing those threats flinched even though it wasn't directed to him. Killing intent was engulfing the room

"Speak." The three ordered. I-pin and Fuuta looked at each other and sighed.

"Everyone's is a brainless idiot." They said in disapproving tone, shaking their heads. Say what?

A trident and tonfa was about to hit the two kids when a blur of red deflected both weapons. Both users dropped their weapons unwillingly. Fon in his adult form. He put a protective arm infront the children as he look to the attackers.

I was surprised that Reborn didn't shoot the kids, I glanced at him and noticed that he was struggling to move. "What's wrong?" I asked

"I can't move." He deadpanned.

"Why?"

"Come out, Mammon, Verde, Skull." As he said that mist dispersed beside Fon to reveal the said Arcobaleno in their baby forms. "What does this mean?"

"Proceed." Verde said coolly, fixing his glasses.

"What do you mean we're brainless idiots?" Gokudera hissed dangerously.

"It's what it states." Fuuta said.

"This bastard!" Gokudera fished out his dynamites and before he can lit a single one of it familiar knives flew towards them and stick itself to the wall. Bel knives.

"Shut up and let the children speak idiot." Mammon growled.

"I said Proceed. We don't have a whole day explaining this simple matter." Verde demanded as he jumped to Fuuta's shoulder.

"Gomen, Verde-san."

"Have you wondered why Tsuna-nii killed?" I-pin asked quietly.

"Tch, for fun of course. This monster said it himself." Lambo huffed behind Chrome's skirt.

"The Carnivore grew fangs in a wrong way." Hibari snorted.

"Have you asked him, yourself?" Fuuta asked this time.

"Mind to ask you the second time have you seen the scene yourself?" Reborn asked.

"We didn't." the children shook their head for emphasis

"Then you don't have the right to judge us like that."

"We do." I-pin glared at him, though it was not enough to fazed anyone in the room.

"How so?" Ryohei asked.

"We have the right if Sawada Tsunayoshi is killed." Fuuta said, his voice were sharp, thankfully every one of us was used to it all thanks to the baby on my shoulder.

"Killed? This monster?" I scoffed, glancing to the pale complexion of the brunette. "He isn't dead! Look! He's breathing! This monster's just pretending to be asleep so he can attack us anytime!" Rage controlled over me, I took the nearest thing in the table and tried to Tsuna with it but then Skull kicked my the object away and glared at me through his helmet.

"One move on trying to kill Tsuna you'll face me." Skull treathened. His arms started growing in an alarming rate.

"DO you really dare to talk back like that Skull?" Reborn said.

"Try me." Skull must've smirked under the helmet.

"Tsuna-nii was trying to protect you all." Fuuta said, stopping both Arcobaleno's fight. "After moving out, he tried to escape the pain of seeing you turning his back on him."

Stab.

"But he didn't escaped it. He slowly died as he start to reminisce the time he was with you during breaks, space out, daze and rests…"

Stab.

"He didn't think for himself but for everyone else's benefits."

Stab. Stab.

"And it hurt him, that every one of you broke your promises to him."

The memory earlier dawned to me….

=FLASH BACK=

"YAMAMOTO! This isn't a game! We're in mafia! We could kill anytime!" Tsuna snapped.

"I know." I said flopping myself at the wet sand. "Long ago, ever since the time Squalo attacked us." I looked at him and mentally chuckled at his baffled expression.

"Th-then why do you kept saying this is a game?"

"Let's just say it a way to ease everyone's tension?" I smirked.

"Geez… Do you know how many times I fall for your 'game' line?"

"As far as I know for 3 years." I said smiling towards him, then I glanced at the vast sky with a cloud that treathens that rain will befall us soon. "It really depends."

"Depends?"

"It depends whether what the reason is. But I'm pretty sure that Tsuna would kill for everyone's sake." I smiled fondly at his, just like a brother would do. "I would accept you with open arms even if you are covered with blood from head to toe."

I just broke my promise….

=END OF THE BOTH FLASH BACK=

"Forgive… A word that many people wanted, a word that many people would die for, a word that controls people's mind." Gokudera muttered, slumping his head to the wall, covering his eyes with his arms.

"Boss…"

"Tsuna-nii…"

"Sawada…"

"Tsuna…"

"Juudaime…"

"If you believe maybe he can forgive you." A voice that was certainly unfamiliar. All our heads turned to the bed to see Gokudera's look alike smiling at us. "Good day, would you mind telling where I am and who are you? As far I remember I haven't meet any one of you."
