{people from Tsuna's mindscape talking to Tsuna, Vice Versa}

Normal POV

It's already 10 p.m, 2 hours since Tsuna can't be found in his room. Both Irie and Spanner are gone frantic about it, they even searched for him with all of the Gola moscas.

"where is he?! He couldn't have just sneaked out of the base, right?! -o-ow... my stomach"

"Oi, Oi... calm down Shoichi... there's no use of panicking. It'll only messed your mind... and your stomach." Spanner said, sheepishly at the end. "besides, I'm sure he's only lost somewhere in the base. I mean it's huge like hell! so calm down already..."

"Spanner, you don't understand! if we lost him and Byakuran-san have him then we are all doomed!" Irie panicked even more.

"huh? why?"

"well, if that so, then don't let him fall to the wrong hand ever again..." Someone cutted them.

"wha-? Tsuna!" Irie abruply stood up and pointing his gun at the masked man when he saw his captain on his arm uncouncious.

"who are you?" Spanner asked darkly, also in the same stance as Irie even though he's not sure f guns could this who ever this person is.

"I am known as Checkerface..." That masked man said. "but rest asure, I'm not here as threat. I only wanted to returned this boy back to your care." he then gestured for Irie to came closer and the red head hurriedly complied and take Tsuna to his embrace.

"I'm leaving now. Don't tell anyone for what happened now. Everything that you see now, keep it as secret if you don't want doom fall over you" Checkerface warned, "and one more thing. If that boy refused to tell you anything, don't push him further and just let him be. Do you understand?"

Under the pressure the two replied in sync, "yes..."

then with a nod, Checkerface left within the mist just like how he came in.

There is a thick silence until Spanner broke it with his exclaim, "What the he** just happened?!"

But Irie then shushed him when he feels Tsuna stirring. "urgh..." the brunet groaned as he slowly awaken, "where am I?" he asked.

"ah, Tsuna-kun! you're awake!" Irie said, not to loud but full of joy.

"Hm? Sho-kun...? So, is this means I'm back?" Irie nodded as he slimly smiled. he is currently walked his way to Tsuna's room so he can tuck the brunet in.

"thank god..." Tsuna whispered as he snuggled into Irie's chest. (A/N : since he hold him in bridal style ;) )

"Tsuna-kun, If I may asked where have you been" Irie asked while trying to hold back the load of questions in the back of his mind.

"I... just met Byakuran..." Tsuna said honestly

"What?!" Both Irie and Spanner shocked

Irie hurriedly checked for injuries on the brunet but he found none.

"Are you sure it's him?" Spanner asked

"yes..." Tsuna said, voice still void of emotions.

"what did he do to you?" Irie asked in worry

"nothing..."

"do you want to talk about it?"

"..." Tsuna's lack of respond just worried the two more. But Checerface warns before played in their head. 'If that boy refused to tell you anything, don't push him further and just let him be. Do you understand?'

and seeing those dull eyes of him just added the reason for them to not pushing the questions. So Irie said, "alright... get some rest then, Tsuna-kun. I'm sure you're worn out..." Tsuna just obeyed in silent. well, he's indeed exhausted after all.

Then as he close his eyes his mind replayed on things- no, tragedy... that he saw on their memories...

Tsuna POV

~Flashback~

as soon as I reopened my eyes, everyone, even Yuni greeted me with a serious atmostphere. "w-what's wrong minna-san?" I asked as I hold my head who's still hurting a bit.

"Listen me, Tsuna-kun. We don't have much time left, it's been half and an hour since you left your hideouts, Shoichi must have starting to look around for you by know. and if you want to return savely and without any ruckuss, you have to do what we said..." Byakuran said.

"wha-?"

"don't ask, just trust us... will you do it, Nii-san?" Yuni asked.

I really don't know what to say...

{Tsuna, I object... They looked suspicious. and even though they're part of your family, it has been too many years apart. You don't know them anymore. and they could be more than just dangerous} Henko said.

{But Henko-san... To me, They looked like they eager to say something. and I have this feeling that what ever it is, it's a serious matter. we can't just ignore them} Shiro argued.

{moreover, Tsuna-san isn't strong enough if we indeed want to flee. Those predator eyes... it's impossible for them to just let us go...} Shiyo said and the others agreed which makes Henko glared at them.

{Sorry Henko, but they're right. I'm cornered with no other option, so...}

"alright. Just what you guys want me to do?" I said to them.

"all that we want is for you to use your power to look into our memories." 'eh?' "It'll be best if you look at them at the same time..." Dad said.

"why should I?" I asked a bit surprised with the request.

"Because we have no time to explain it all to you. while on the other hand, you must know the whole thing..."

"I want to help. I really do... but if I do it now, I will certainly passed out. and wether or not I manage to see the one that I should see, I really couldn't tell... so, can't we do this other times?" I tried to negotiated.

Just then Dad tapped my shoulder, "Tsuna, listen... we have no 'other times'. Right after we returned you and you go back with Vongola, we will be your enemies..."

"-what?" well of course I'm shocked. No one told me this! "why?"

"You will found the reason in our memories. so please Tsuna-kun, would you at least try it?" Byakuran said with plea.

I gulped. Once again, I have no choice but obeyed. "Fine... I'll do it..." With that said, I closed my eyes as I focused my flames to my pendant. and as it glows brighter I went more deeper to the memories of them four...
