"Tsuna speak to Henko"

"Henkospeak to Tsuna"

It has been 2 week of search but neither of Iemitsu nor Basil catch any clue about suna's dissapereance. all that they got is empty answers from the whole town. no one knows who Tsuna is... they don't remember...

Iemitsu is scratching his head in annoyance, 'I always knew that this brat is a burden...' he thought as his eyes scanning at the reports that Basil gave him.

"so, what should we do now master?" Basil asked.

Iemitsu glanced at him, no plans coming up, "haaa... I don't know. Maybe we should just give up already? he might have died anyway..." he said with no care.

Basil greeted his teeth. He had enough. He was holding back ever since he know this attitude of him years ago. but now... he knows that Tsuna must needing their help, he just somehow know it, and seeing Iemitsu's reaction... he can't help but slap him HARD on the face.

"Enough with that nonesense..." Basil said with flashing eyes. "even though he's not your son. Tsunayoshi-dono is still part of your family. Thus why it's innappropiate of you to said such of thing..." He said angrily, forgetting his usual 'polite' ways to talk. scolding people like Iemitsu don't need such things anyway.

The last thing that Iemitsu would ever expected is this. his loyal appertince, the boy that he grown up, has barked at him straight on his face. Iemitsu cannot form a single word, so he's just gaping instead.

"I don't care even if it's you. but anyone, I repeat, if there's anyone that treated his family member poorly then he's much lower than a trash!" Basil shouted at him. "If only you know what did he feels when you trashed him..." He growled for the last time

"I... I..." is the only thing that manage to came out from Iemitsu's trembling mouth.

He's lucky that Reborn makes his presence by then, "Ciaoussu... What's this commotions all about?" he asked with his squeaky voice.

Basil took a deep breath to have control of his emotions before he replied, "it's nothing Reborn-dono... but if you really want to know you my ask master. He knows better" He said as he shot a glare at the mentioned blond.

Basil always obdient about Iemitsu's every command and he's always be the politest among every person that he ever known (A/N : after Tsuna of course. but since he doesn't remember about him...) so of course Reborn is curious about what's going on.

"well then, could you tell me what's going on, Iemitsu?" Reborn called the stunning blond with his full name and not his given nick name, which is Baka-Ie.

It took some minutes for Iemitsu to answer that simple question, but oddly yet luckly for him neither of Reborn or Basil called for him since he's having a train of thoughts.

Thoughts about his treatment towards the brunet.

to think it again, Tsuna never done anything to him. all that he do is always to pleased him. yet he dumped him out of humanity.

he stabbed him with knifes, he burnt him till he bleed, he sent hitmen after his head, yet Tsuna never done a thing to fight back.

the only time where he's actually defend himself is when he hit Iemitsu after he got injured badly from the knifes that Iemitsu used.

and that's only one time...

never that happened in the past or afterwards...

as if having a revelation his mind is as clear as day in the summer... Iemitsu cried...

"what have I done?" He gasped in realization. the more he tried to find his reason to hate the boy, the more he realized his mistakes.

how many times he saw tears from those dull eyes?

how many times he sensed his soul screaming for hishelp?

how many times he had killed him?

just how many time it has been?

Iemitsu suddenly stood up then he began to ran, shocking and forcing the two to followed him out of curiosity. (A/N : Reborn is sitting on Basil's head)

"W-What's wrong master?" Basil asked worriedly. Sure he was slapping and scolding him with full aware but he can't help but feelig guilty from doing that to the person that saved him and let him live by his side.

Iemitsu didn't answer and instead he keeps on running and running. continuing his track to the forest. to the last destination of his former aim... the house of his twin and his family...

ran and ran he goes, but then he broke down upon seeing that there's nothing left there other than ashes...

The house has been burnt down clearly... there's nothing left...

But suddenly... they heard some voices...

"Don't cry..." a male voice said.

"-it's not over yet..." a female voice continued.

"Who's there?!" Reborn shouted in alarm. Both Iemitsu and Basil has also in their fighting stance.

"no need to be alarmed, we won't harm you" the male said. as soon after that there are two transprent figure appeared in front of them.

Iemitsu dropped his gun as he called, "y-you are..."

the male one smiled, "hello again otouto... it's nice to ever see you again..."

Reborn manage to hide his shock behind his calm facade while Basil is otherwise as he's gaping at the sight. the female one chuckled, "you better closed your mouth young boy, otherwise you'll eat bugs..." Basil hurriedly closed his mouth while blushing embarrasedly.

"Y-Yoshi-nii? Saku-chan? b-but I thought... you two had-"

"died..." Yoshi replied with a sad smile, "indeed we had... we're nothing more than spirits that will soon dissapeared once we've done our purpose here..."

There's silence until Reborn broke it with his question, "and what purpose if I may ask?"

This time Sakura is the one that answered him, "We're here to returned your memories that my son has locked away from you..."

"memories?" Reborn frowned as he doesn't understand. he doesn't seems ever having an amnesia nor having any flaw on his memory... well, as far he remember...

"can you dig the ground over there?" Yoshi said to his twin as he pointed at one particular place. "you'll understand after you get the item..." The couple then smiled their last smile...

Iemitsu hurriedly snatched the shovel that he found lying innocently near his feet. He then dug the ground again and again until it hits something.

"a box?" He questioned as he took it out. he then opened the box. There are three journals inside..

"what are these, Yo- eh? where did they go?" Iemitsu asked. but Sakura and Yoshi has taken their leave once he took the shovel with him. they left because their purpose has been achieved...

it was all because soon he'll find out about him...

he'll find out about the truth that Tsuna held...
