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

Tainted one POV

I can't believe that it would be this easy...

Ha! It's all thanks to that idiot. Because of him, Tsunayoshi's mind is in chaos, thus makes things easier for me to FINALLY take a grasp of his so called 'pure' heart. (A/N : note the sarcasm)

It's still hard to take full control of it, for I could tell that those petty knights of his trying to cut the connection.

"HAHAHAHA!"

'How funny' I thought, laughing.

"You fool, once I get what I want, you'll never get it back."I sreeched as I ignore their attempts. Afterall, what I said is nothing but truth...

I really want to laugh some more as I enjoyed their desperate face. But no, I still have things to settle down. and it's to get rid of this morons before me...

So, smirking away, I started my attack...

Normal POV

"TSUKI!"

SFX : *STAB*

as that sharp knife stabbed his stomach, blood started to seeps out and tainting that once white shirt.

However, there's no pain could be seen on his face. Instead, with his sky blue eyes and weak smile, he eyed 'Tsuna' with guilt. His hands reached for Tsuna's cheeks as he hugged the brunet, didn't care for the wound nor the pain he actually felt.

a tear slip from his eyes as he murmured next to his ear, "I'm sorry..." he said and their foreheads touched.

Meanwhile with Tsuna, he's stunned. He never expect to hear that from the said blond.

'He said... what?' he thought in shock.

-he's thorn in two...

Should he listened to his instinct? or should he listened to his corrupted heart?

While waiting for the answer, his DV power is acting up. and now he got transported back to his memory as the cause of the touch...

Tsuna POV

'Hm? where am I?' I questioned myself as I suddenly got transported to... eum, Namimori elementary?

It seems that the school just over for I saw the students are walking out of schools. I in the other hands, waltzed in as I mermerize the view before me.

'Wow, the building seems new! Just what year is it?' I commented in my mind as I giggled with no reason. and It still amuse me on how people go and walked pass through me, afterall, these are nothing but memories.

My giggles however, died down as I heard noices from my back.

I saw a blond kid being pinned down by a brunet who seems in his age-

Eh? hold on...

That blond kid... isn't he-?

"A-Aniki? w-what is t-there something wrong?" The kid asked in shutter as his face showed fear.

The brunet on the otherhand, sneered. "why don't you guess it yourself smart guy?"

"w-what is it? I d-don't understand" The kid seems at loss on what did his aniki mean.

all of the sudden, that brunet pulled the other roughly, turning him around to take his bag and scattered the things inside.

"What did you do, Yoshi-nii!" The kid screamed in plea. But the brunet just swing his arm and let the blond harshly fall on his butt.

He then take one of the scattered paper before then smacked it to the blond face, "What do you mean by this?!" He shouted angrily, while the blond just stunned on his spot.

"I-I... It's my test score...?" The blond replied in scare. The brunet turned even red from that.

"That's not it, you stupid!" he snarled. "How come your score is higher than mine, huh?!"

The kid seems dumbfounded at the question, "w-well, I studied..."

"bulls***!" The brunet cutted. "you must be cheating!" he accused.

"W-what?! No! I'm not!" The kid shouted back, feeling offended. "I studied! I didn't cheat!"

"Ha! as if anyone would believe you on that!" The brunet said as he pulled the other's ear. The kid whined in pain but did nothing to stop the elder.

"No... Yoshi-nii. Please let me go!" He cried, holding his painful ear with both hands.

"No..." The brunet said sternly, "Now listen to me. You are stupid. You can't get smart at anything but sport. You're the dead last and forever be my shadow. Someone who's under me. Get it?!"

"y-yes! I get it! please just let me go..." The kid said. the brunet complied as satisfied smile present on his lips.

"Good boy..." He then patted the blond locks as if he's a dog.

"Now, Come on now, Ie~, Kaa-san and tou-san must be waiting~" The brunet said in awfully cheery tone as he leave his younger brother sobbing on the ground...

This has shocked me, to no end while one thing runs inside my mind...

~Timeskip~

The more I stayed, the more I saw how bad Tou-san treated his twin brother. and what's worse, he did all of that behind everyone, especially their parents. all the while putting up a 'good kid' mask when anyone's around.

I can't stop thinking words such, 'What has he done?' 'Why did he do that?' 'aren't they brothers?' ' didn't he love him?'

I can feel my heart shrinking everytime I saw Iemitsu-san got bullied both at home and school..

He's no less the same as me...

and now... I'm getting confused.

If what I saw is the truth, then why did Tou-san made it sounded as if he's so innocent and the actual victim in his journal? was he lying even to himself? or was that journal being read by anyone and he knew about that?

I have no clue...

but before I could think further, all of the sudden a loud voice could be heard. It's snapping me out of my train of thoughts.

"I HAVE ENOUGH!" Iemitsu-san shouted as he slapped Tou-san's hand off him.

His eyes has sparks of hate while the oposite, that smirk went off Tou-san's face as it immedietely replaced with horror.

"I have enough..." Iemitsu-san said as pure hatred that he leak got directed to the elder twin.

"You can have those idiotic friends of mine. I don't need them... you can have all the love your parents gave you. I don't care... Just take everything I have... But note this-" Iemitsu-san grab Tou-san's collar and raised it before then shouted on his face. "I'm no longer scared of you! and I'll fight for my own! You can punch me, kick me for all I care... from now own I'm on my own, and you'll have no more control of me!"

My eyes widened as well Tou-san. it seems that he didn't expect such a thing to happen to him.

For some reason I smiled. Iemitsu-san has courage that I never had. That's what makes us different.

as for Tou-san, I'm disappointed...

Now I understand when he said that he failed as Iemitsu's brother. It seems that he regretted his doing. But everything is too late.

Things were too complicated to be changed. And just to make it even better, a month after that quarrel, my grandparents sent Tou-san to study aboard.

I then saw how things get even worser afer that.

It looks like people thought that Tou-san is protector of Iemitsu-san therefore no one dare to get him when the two is seen together.

Tch...

all of these boils my anger...

but the bright side is... now I've found all of the pieces I wanted to know about my past.

So this is the full scenario...

Tou-san thought that since he's elder he supposed to be supperior. but as times passed, Iemitsu-san is catching up. and therefore he feels threatened and treat his younger twin badly...

Years after, Iemitsu-san snapped and thus he stopped having respect or even care towards Tou-san. That is when Tou-san realize his mistakes...

Tou-san felt guilty and always try to fix things up, but unfortunately Iemitsu-san has far fallen for hatred. and the treatment that he gets from his parents and everyone else didn't make things better...

In other's eyes, Tou-san is the bright twin while Iemitsu-san is the rebel one. and as time goes, that assumption sticked into his mind...

Even worse when Kaa-san choose Tou-san instead of Iemitsu-san. He thinks that Tou-san went back to his old habbits despite saying all of those sorries. Iemitsu-san didn't want to listen to what ever Tou-san said about this. Thankgoodness, Nana-san who already in love with Iemitsu-san, helped him to get over this matter...

Then, skipped forward to the time where Tou-san -who's being controlled by Akira- killed their parents at that basement. Iemitsu-san's memories might has been erased, but once Tou-san went away, it' slowly getting back to him. and the hatred grown once more...

Back then, when Nana-san told him that she's taking me for addoption he didn't find any susspicions. Not even when she had him promised to never mentioned that I'm not their child...

Yet years later, he found the resemblance in me and tou-san. and thus, he remember all the pain that he felt during his childhood and decide that I should feel the same despite not knowing that I AM his twin's son...

'Seriously...' I took a deep breath. 'will this things ever over?'

then as I sighed heavily, I faded out of the memories...
