Gokudera's POV

My decision has been set, now I have to inform Jyuudaime about this. Knowing him, he should be worried about me now. Damn! Why did I have to act such an idiot in front of him?! I even cried! My dignity is already shattered…How should I approach him today? Maybe give him a drink and say sorry?

What should I do? I glanced at him. He's just looking outside. He must be thinking about my punishment right now. Argh, panicking won't do any good. Just talk to him later, say sorry, prostrate yourself, accept any punishment and bang your head on a nearby wall. That's all, now calm-

"Dame-Tsuna, answer this question!" The teacher shouted. Damn him, how could he shout to him like that?!

"I-I don't know" He stuttered out nervously. It's too obvious. He faked that out.

"You really are Dame! You should tutor under your brother! He's better than you at this." Jyuudaime flinched. Comparing him to his demon brother? Are you blind or something? The class starts to laugh also baseball freak and that demon.

"I-I'll try better next time…" I really want to punch that teacher any minute now but I'd doubt Jyuudaime wants me to cause a trouble.

"You've been saying that since the start of classes, Is your Mother really taking care of you?" He just clenched his fist hard. I grabbed hold of a dynamite. I'm gonna kill him…Jyuudaime's trying his best to keep quiet.

"Or is it because your Mother already kicked the buck-" Jyuudaime was just about to say something when I stood up. He just looked at me confusingly.

"Would you just shut the hell up?! You're methods of teaching is crappy enough that no one understands what the hell you're saying and you announces to everyone how Jyuudaime can't answer it to the point that you insult his own mother! Aren't you just abusing your position as a teacher that way? I can get you arrested for that you know." I told him. Well that shut him up. He just told Jyuudaime and me to sit down. The rest of the class went quiet after when they were just booming with laughter until lunch started.

"Jyuudaime, can have lunch together?" I asked him.

"Anytime, Gokudera-kun" He just smiled while we went to the rooftop. The prefect isn't heading here anymore and that's good. We just settled our lunch down.

"Jyuudaime" I need to apologize…

"What is it?" He was just eating when I said that.

"I'M SO SORRY!" I immediately bowed down.

"I was acting such an idiot yesterday! I'll accept any punishment!" I closed my eyes tightly.

"Gokudera-kun, it's alright really" I didn't looked up.

"Gokudera-kun?"

"No…please, don't be like that. Your kindness is too much. I can't bear the guilt" I just bit my lip. Tears started welling in my eyes trying my best to not let them fall.

"No, no. Don't worry about it, Gokudera-kun. I am not kind at all. If I am I should have fought better for my guardians, you're the only guardian I have. So please stand up" He told me. Jyuudaime, your kindness is the only one of its kind. You're suffering from the loss of the others and yet…You stand up brave for me…If that's what it is, then I am his right hand. I should hold him up till the end.

"Of course, Jyuudaime. I am sorry…I pledge my eternal loyalty to you and side with you and only you." I wiped away my tears, clenched my fist and held it up in my heart. He just smiled.

"Good to have you back, Gokudera-kun"

"I'm you're right hand man. I am always at your side" He just chuckled.

"Yes, yes you are." Suddenly, the door slammed open revealing Akira behind it. I stood quickly and and lit my box. Letting Uri out.

"Why the hell are you here?" I glared at him. Jyuudaime is already in his hyper dying will form. It looks like he's ready for something that would happen. The bastard just waved his hands to the sky.

"I don't mean anything to harm. I just had a feeling that something would happen here and indeed something did happen." He just smiled.

"That's your reason? Ha! I'll bet my life that you have a purpose to come here." I just scoffed. Him? Coming here just because of a coincidence? Inconceivable!

"Gokudera's right, you aren't one to come here like that" Jyuudaime told him.

"Aww, you got me!" He stepped a bit closer but that 'a bit closer' made me threw 10 dynamites at him and stepped back. Jyuudaime was already in the air and fired his X-Burner. Someone would notice that but who cares? All that's left there is smoke. I doubt that he left there unscathed.

"Sheesh, you do know that someone's gonna see that. Be thankful, I put up a barrier earlier" He just sighed and shook his head. Immediately, I looked around. There was a barrier all right. It sent out a few waves from the explosion earlier then immediately disappeared like it's not there.

"I told you. I'm not doing anything. I'm just here to get your decision and if you really are serious" His eyes took a dangerous glint like daring me to say it in his face. There was also a tingling feeling and a voice telling me to go to Akira. I just shook it aside. The thought of being by that bastard's side makes me puke. I'd rather die then do it. I stood up proud then held my fist at my chest and shouted out loud.

"My loyalty lies only to Jyuudaime!" As soon as I said those words, it felt like a heavy weight was lifted from my shoulders.

"I see then I bid you, adieu" He then saluted with 2 fingers and disappeared with a breeze.

Tsuna's POV

I went out of my HDW form and looked at Gokudera. He was emitting confidence unlike any other. Did pledging his loyalty to me kindled it? Well, no matter, what does matter is Gokudera is by my side again. I hope that Yamamoto and the others are doing fine.

"Gokudera-kun, you have to sleep over tonight" I asked him. Mama has been really worried about him.

"Of course, Jyuudaime." He answered. It was the usual answer but it was filled with happiness. I just smiled and headed home. He had to be ready for Mama's scoldings but it was fun nevertheless. I went to sleep to get peace but I was wrong.

Walking down a dark hallway lighted up with torches, a black silhouette emerged from the shadows.

"Is everything prepared?" A voice told him as I turned around and saw Akira walked past me like I'm a phantom. Why am I here? Is this a dream? These dreams are becoming too much of a vision but nothing else to do so I'll just follow him.

"Yes, milord" the silhouette said. Milord? I know that he's the 'Vongola Decimo' but milord is just too much.

"We cannot waste a single day. Every day that passes will slim our success. Make sure that it has no flaws, mistakes will not be tolerated" He ordered the silhouette to which that it j ust kneeled and disappeared in a blur. He's completely different from the usual Akira with the others though. Wonder what's here. He walked straight to a door and there was another hallway.

It has several different paths but as Akira took a step forward it shifted. After a few seconds, it showed a straight path through a dark ivory door with golden lining and at the center was an embedded black diamond. He pushed through the door as a surge of power and disappeared from trace almost instantly.

I moved aside to get a better look inside. The walls and ceiling were just pure black in color. It held almost nothing except an upright oval crystal floating in the middle surrounded by a bunch of magic circles. Why would Akira be here? I can't see the inside of the crystal because of the light. He walked closer and I just follow him. What I saw was unexpected though…

Inside was an aurora. Well, it's kinda like an aurora you see in the sky but I don't know what that is exactly. It was also rainbow-colored. How can anyone catch something like that? Akira just moved forward and leaned his forehead on it.

"My dearest Deus, I am sorry for the long wait but this is necessary to prevent any mistakes and intrusion during the ceremony. We only have to wait a month before the preparations are finish, farewell" He then turned around and the door slammed shut. Preparations? Something is going to happen after a month for sure but what? I looked at the crystal again. What is this? Stepping forward, I heard a voice.

"N…o…t…y...e…t" I glanced around the room. What was that? It's like someone is choking from something.

"you…r….ti…m…e…i…s…s…..till…..n…o…t…..ye….t….re….tu…rned…" I looked at the crystal. The aurora was moving but only slightly. Is that talking to me?

"We…shall…meet…..again…..De…ci…mo" The voice faded at the end as I had a piercing headache. I fell down to my knees as it grew even more painful. Reluctantly, I held my head up to have one more look at the crystal. What it showed was not the rainbow aurora from before, it was a boy that looked exactly like me and Primo but instead with black hair and vibrant sea-green eyes wearing a pure black cloak with surrounded by something that shone orange. I didn't get the chance to get a closer look as I blacked out.

I reached my goal of 1.5k of words yet it feel so short...Well sorry for the long wait I guess, I had a bit of a problem doing the first part of it cause I did the dream first :3

Well, thank you for all those who review, favored and followed. I won't be able to answer to all your reviews tonight but I'll try to next time.

Till next time, bye~
