"Tsuna speak to Henko"

"Henko speak to Tsuna"

Cielo POV

we just got back to the host house. all the way here, Sora-sama stay silent even after I asked her.

She must be dissapointed on him, I mean what kind or reaction is that?! They've been separated for years, yet he just brushed her away like it was nothing at all. Even the most patient person must at least sad, and Sora-sama is not that kind of girl. Instead of 'sky' like how she named, she's more like a raging storm. and that's exactly why I'm concerned about her quietness for it's odd to happen.

"Sora-chan..." I called her again, we were currently on the swing. just the two of us, while everyone else is watching a movie on the living room.

"..." She didn't respond. and so I decided to stay quiet too.

From the silenceness I began to think on something else and it was none other than what happened before.

'It's odd... why did they call me by Tsuna? Do we really look that alike? and what did that sun arcobaleno tell me about my scar? That Tsuna-guy has it too? how could that possible?' I thought to myself.

There is a possiblity that I'm indeed the one that they're looking for. Because from what the way they speak, it looks like this Tsuna-guy is missing for a long time, perhaps 6 moths ago or so. It's around the time where I found my self wake up in a park bench without any of my memories.

To think it again the possibility is high...

but if that true, then they are my family? Did I erase my memory to protect them? Was my name Sawada Tsunayoshi?

There's so many unanswered questions and I was thinking on asking Henko-san for answers but I don't think he would say a word about it. but well, it's worth to try, right?

"Ne, Henko-san, I have a question to ask, can I?"

"But you already have, my boy~" I 'internally' laughed as he joked.

"well then another one?"

"well go on..." He chuckled, "Is it about your dear Sora-sama?"

I shooked my head, "no... it's about me..." I said. "and I plead you, for this once answer me honestly."

"..." Henko-san's expression's changing. Looks like he knows on where is this going.

"-I promise that I won't ask any other question... not ever... so, can you please answer this one?" I asked with pleading (read : puppy) eyes

after some second, he sighed, "fine, you beat me..." I smiled, "so what do you want to ask?"

I then asked this one question that I know will make much things even clearer... "Was my name... Sawada Tsunayoshi?"

His eyes widen a bit before wen back to normal. he's gazing away while slightly bitting his lower lips. 'Is it really a big of matter if I'm indeed 'Tsuna'?!' I questioned in my own mind.

I patiently waiting for his answer, although his silentness has answered me.

"you know what? forget about my question earlier..." I said and Henko-san gave me a confused look while I choose to look away.

I let out a soft sigh as I glanced the sky...

It's red...

It's beautiful but I don't like it. Something inside me feels sick everytime I see this colour, it somehow reminds me of blood, and that's why I hate it.

However, today's red is kind of different. It somehow held much more loneliness in the air... or was it just me?

all of the sudden I feel a drop fell from my cheek. "Eh?" I muttered.

Ah... it's drizzling...

"Sora-chan, I think we better get in with the others now" I glanced to Sora-sama but she didn't move a bit.

I think she's stuck with her mind and so she didn't listen to me.

I inwardly sighed. I then hurriedly grab an umbrella, a jacket, and a towel. all was for Sora-sama.

"Don't you need it for yourself too, Cielo?" Henko-san said.

I smiled at him, "I can survived this much, but I can't let her get drenched, she'll easily catch a fever if she insisted to stay cold." Henko-san frowned but didn't say his disagreement as usual.

after some minutes later the drizzle stopped. My clohes is all wet and It's started to get freezing, but I don't care, I seated back to the swing after I closed the umbrella.

She's still quiet, while I'm slowly feeling the need of changing this drenched clothes of mine.

"You know, Sora-sama... " I called, I know I shouldn't have talked about this, but perhaps this would snapped her back to her sense. "- I think It's time for me to leave you and Mizuki-sama..." as I thought, this has successfully gaining her attention.

"h-huh? what are you talking about Cielo?" She frowned. Henko-san looked more in shock than confusion.

I smiled at her before then focusing my gaze at the sky. "It has been a while that I think about this... I don't have much time left, the deadline is getting close and I still don't have any clue that leads to my goal. I... shouldn't have be here in the first place... I don't deserve much kindness that you showed me. but otherwise I'm thankful that you did..."

I stood up from the swing "-I thought that it might be time for me to go for I've been a burdening you for far too long. I want to thank you. so before I go I'll try to grand every wishes that you come up to" I smiled at her while bowing slightly.

She stunned, a shocked face is clearly there. She then abruply stood up and... hit my head hardly.

"BAKA-CIELO...!" she shouted in anger, "how dare you say such a thing!" She said with tears flowing from her eyes. without us knowing everyone is watching us making scene.

"how dare you, saying you'll go... that you'll leave us... that you will... leave me..." She cried. but I stayed still, not comforting her...

well, not yet...

"please don't, Cielo... If you go, you'll forget us. You'll forget me... you'll never look up to me ever again... the same way as Aniki did..."

I smiled, 'Finally...' I then went to her side and hugged her.

"jaa... I'll stick around for a bit longer then..." I chuckled as I lift her up from her knees. "Sorry, for the lie, Sora-sama... but it's the only way I could think of so you can speak up your heart..."

Sora-sama stared at me in disbelieve, "y-you mean... you're not going to leave..."

I grinned, "nope..." and in that instant I got punched by her as she pushed me away. not so strong as usual though, I even laughed at her red face.

"The Hell Cielo!" She shouted in embarassement and I laughed even harder.

Once I done with my laughter I went closer to her and fixed the bangs that cover her eyes.

"You know Sora-sama? no one can tell what you feel if you stay all silent..." her eyes widen a bit, "I know that you're dissapointed with Shuryo-sama, but running away won't solve anything... and I don't think that getting all depressed is a right thing to do either..." I said while staring at her tenderly.

All of sudden I felt something... well, someone, clinging on my shoulder. "He's right, Sora! you can tell us if you have problem!" Yamada said grinning as usual. Agata-san is patting Sora-sama's back as she smiled.

Sora-sama's eyes got all teary again before she then broke down she then told us about her concern, about her distress and everything, mostly about her brothers. This is the first time I see her crying after the day I told her that I would leave months ago...

after she did, she finally smiled again.

I'm so glad about that but then Henko-san speak up. "was that really just a lie, Tsuna?"

He called me 'Tsuna'... maybe he did it uncounciously...

I smiled slimly... so it really is my name... and they really are my family

"That's... That isn't a lie..." I told him, "but there's no way I would ever say that to her right?" I chuckled while he's just staring at me.

"you're starting to do that bad habbit yours again, Cielo..." He said, calling me by 'Cielo' again.

"My habbit?"

"Yes.." He stated... "Lying..."
