"Listen to me, bastard. I'm really disappointed in you! You're a disgrace as an Arcobaleno! You failed as their teacher! How can you just watch these two brats say hurtful things to their brother?" Skull asked in anger.
"What the hell do you know?!" Tsubasa interrupted and went to his Hyper dying will mode.
Skull lets go of Reborn's collar and looked with an unforgiving look at Tsubasa.
"You asked me 'what the hell do I know, huh? Damn it! I know everything!" Skull shouted in anger.
"The damage in his head is severe and there are some fractured bones. If he will not wake up in 24 hours, we will declare that he is comatose."The doctor said. Tsubame and Skull thanked the doctor and went inside of Tsuna's room, there, they saw the brunette sleeping with a respirator and IV connected to his body. His whole head has a bandage and there are lots of bruises on his face. His two left legs and left arm has a cast a cast. Tsubame wanted to cry at the sight, but choose to be strong. All of them sat near the brunette's bed.
"Happy birthday, Tsuna-kun" Tsubame said with a smile, trying to stop her tears
Chapter 4
Time
Third Person's POV
Tsuna's and Skull's friends kept coming to the hospital to visit the brunette. All of them brought a bouquet of flowers and birthday gifts. Some of them cried when they saw the condition of their friend.
"Yesterday, he was smiling like an idiot and now, he looks so lifeless" One of his co-racer said as he wipes his tears.
After he said that, the room was filled again by silence and all they can hear was the beeping sounds of the respirator until someone spoke. "I can't still believe what I am seeing. I just saw him yesterday help a child and a man at the mountain foot" Another one of Tsuna's co-racer said gaining a questioning look from Skull and the others.
"He saved someone? From what?" Asked Skull.
"From what I saw, The car where the two persons which Tsuna saved, was being chased by another car. Tsuna made an action when the chaser shoots the other. After that, Tsuna took the two and they're gone. " He said
Skull sighed and returned his gaze at Tsuna's sleeping form "He's really kind," He said and smiled.
"You're right. To the point he will exchange his life just help." Tsubame added.
After Tsubame said that, Skull's phone started ringing.
"Skull speaking" Skull said after accepting the call.
[It's Gamma, Boss asked for your presence today.]
"Is it important?" asked Skull, not removing his gaze from Tsuna.
[Well, It's boss we are speaking. She had another vision and she seems restless.]
Skull sighed "I'll think of it."
[By the way, We met your student last night. He really did save us back there.]
Skull's eyes widened "Save? So you were the one who Tsuna saved."
[Yeah, me and Yuni. We've talked for a while and boss was really fond of him. She really wants to talk to him again. Ah…wait …]
[Boss asked if he's with you right now?]
Skull was not able to answer back immediately.
"…. Yes…. He's with me." Skull answered, but there's no emotion in his voice.
[Oh, good. Can we talk to him?]
Skull smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry… he's sleeping."
[Is that so? Well then, see you at the meeting, It's about Tsuna.]
The call dropped and skull hid his phone in his pants pocket. Again, silence surrounded them.
"Hey, Tsuna?" Giotto called his younger brother as he peeked at the brunette's room.
"Yes?" Tsuna looked at his brother as he stopped at what he is doing.
"Uhh… Can I talk to you?" Giotto asked as he scratches the back of his neck and there's this depressed look on his face.
"Sure," Tsuna answered as he gives a reassuring smile at his brother. Giotto went inside and sat on Tsuna's bed. Tsuna, who is sitting on his swiveling chair, turned his chair, so that he can face his brother.
"Well, you see… uhh… Can I.. I mean, Do you think, I can be a boss?" Giotto asked, looking down on the ground.
Tsuna laughed "Of course! Why can't you be?"
Giotto looked at his brother with wide eyes and there, he saw his brother smiling at him.
Tsuna frowned when he saw Giotto's expression " What? You don't believe me?! Do you want me to list down something about you and what can you do? One. You're smart, Two. You're strong. Three. You're good at handling your destructive and noisy friends…. And sorry for that. Four. You have this amazing aura around you, Five. You can convince people, Six. You're nice AND lastly! You're handsome."
Giotto stared at his brother with open mouth.
"If you don't close your mouth, flies will fill your mouth and will leave eggs of larva –" Tsuna wasn't able to finish what he is saying when Giotto immediately closed his mouth, fearing what Tsuna said, making Tsuna laugh at his brother's actions. Giotto felt embarrassed and frowned at his brother.
"Stop that." Giotto said and pouted.
Tsuna stopped laughing and gave his brother a smile. "Do you feel better now?"
Giotto smiled, "Yeah, Thanks."
Tsuna chuckled and went back at what he is doing. "It's the best if you go back, Reborn might kill you"
"Yeah, Yeah. Thank a lot" Giotto said and petted Tsuna's head before leaving.
Giotto wanted to shoot himself after what happened.
"I'm such a useless older brother—"
"I'm a failure –"
"I'm too proud of myself –"
"I hate myself –"
Giotto kept badmouthing himself while lying on his bed and after that he screamed in anger. Giotto, then stood up and ran downstairs.
"DAMN IT! Have you found any news about Tsuna?" Giotto almost shouted at his guardians.
"Sorry, Giotto. We can't get any lead where Skull and the Armata family are." G answered.
Giotto wanted to pull off his hair and started circling around the room.
"You know, Skull is hiding something." Giotto said as he kept walking around the room.
"What do you mean?" Lampo asked
"He.. He's really angry. When he came back, he started shouting at us. AND my intuition is telling me that he went from Race Wars and I can feel, something happened. Tsubame said 'they're', so, maybe Tsuna's with…wait…" Giotto stopped on walking and his worried look turned into shocked one.
"G-Giotto?" Daemon asked.
"Alaude! .THAT. " Giotto shouted.
Alaude looked at him with a questioning look.
"The footage at Race wars. I want to watch it. NOW" Giotto said.
Alaude nodded and started contacting all of the media. The other guardians started to question their boss and Giotto gave them an answer "I think Tsuna got into that accident."
Before they can give reactions, Alaude came back with annoyed expression. "Skull and Tsubame ordered to remove everything."
Giotto only managed to face palmed and started to tear up from the news as he remembered what Skull said.
"Tsuna wished not to tell his fuckin' family where he is because he doesn't want to burden them more"
"Giotto-nii is right! We already had problems and you want to add! You're being a burden! We can't waste our time on something like you!"
"What have I done…" Tsubasa said. Guilt started to eat him and all his guardians are the same.
"I'm such a brat. When did I start ignoring him?! Damn it! He was my reason why I accepted my damn position! I wanted to protect him! What did I do?! I started being proud of myself!" Tsubasa almost shouted and started hitting the table. Tsubasa lowered his head and tears started to tear up. "For three years…-"
Losing his cool, he started shouting "FOR FUCKING THREE YEARS! I IGNORED AND THOUGHT HIM AS A BURDEN TO US!"
[10 minutes before the race starts]
Aria woke up and immediately got up from her bed. She started walking around the room.
"Was… was that a nightmare or a vision?" She asked herself while trying to calm down.
"No…. Tsuna's in trouble. I should warn Skull" Aria said with a worried tone and went out of his room.
"Gamma!" Arai called
"Yes?"
"I.. I just saw a vision and Tsuna was there. He was in a race and he got into an accident and after that I… I saw a grave! Please! We need to warn them! The new Sky Acrcobaleno can't die!"
"Grave? Did you see his name on it?"Gamma asked.
"No.. I can't remember.." Aria answered.
"Okay, that's good. Just calm down and will tell Skull about it."
Aria sat on one of the chairs, "We need him. We need the Sky" Aria said and remembered what happened before Tsuna went home.
Aria stood up from her seat and her pacifier, which is hanging to her neck fell to the ground. Tsuna immediately acted and picked up the pacifier and when he is about to hand it to Aria when it suddenly lets out a blinding light. The blinding light went out immediately, but the pacifier in Tsuna's hand is now gone. Aria and Gamma stared at Tsuna wide eyes and it seems like they can't believe
"Uh…. What …did just happen?" Tsuna asked wide eyes.
"Ah… Do-don't worry about it." Aria said, trying to assure the brunette.
"W-well, then.. I should be going now." Tsuna said.
'Why him? He's too young to be bound by this curse.' Aria told herself as she watched the brunette leave her mansion.
Aria's thought's were interrupted when Yuni went towards her and started telling her that she wants to play with his nii-chan.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Skull to bring him," Aria said with a smile.
Skull stared at Tsuna while he kept replaying what Gamma said about Aria's Vision about Tsuna.
'Maybe , it's about this accident.' Skull thought. He took out his phone and sent a message to Gamma.
[I'm sorry, I can't make it today.] After sending the message, Skull turned off his phone and continued to watch over his student until he fall asleep beside him. When visiting time is over, Tsuna's friends went home, leaving Tsubame, Kyuubei and Skull there.
Four days went by and the brunette is still asleep, declaring that he is in a comma, Skull wanted to blame himself for not being able to save his student. On the other hand, Tsuna's brothers were not able to sleep because of what they had done to Tsuna. Everyone felt guilty about their actions to the brunette. Reborn wanted to shoot himself after learning that all of what Skull said were true. The brunette, exchanged his body to be experimented instead of Tsubasa. It happened two years ago. Another one was the Alliance with their long time enemy, Tsuna managed to talk to them and when he convinced them, he told them not to tell anyone that it was Tsuna who talked to them.
All of them are in the meeting room of the Sawada residence when someone unexpectedly visited them and that person was Aria and Yuni.
"Where's nii-chan?" Yuni immediately asked her mother.
Aria smiled at her daughter. "Wait for him"
Reborn noticed that the Sky Pacifier around Aria's neck is not there. "Where is the sky Arcobaleno pacifier?"
"Oh, I'm no longer the Sky Arcobaleno. It already chooses another Sky" Aria answered.
Reborn and the others were shocked " Who is the new Sky?" Reborn asked.
Aria was about to speak when Yuni started shaking her, asking where is Tsuna nii-chan is and when they heard the child, they started to give a questioning look on why Yuni knows Tsuna.
"Well, five days ago, Tsuna saved Gamma and Yuni and to what I am saying before about the new Sky Arcobaleno. Tsuna is the new sky. Now, I need to talk to him. Skull won't answer my calls. Tsuna doesn't know that he is the Sky Arcob-" Aria wasn't able to finish what she is saying when they saw Skull on the room's door.
"Wha.. What do you mean he's the new Sky?" Skull asked wide eyes.
When Giotto saw Skull after being gone for almost a week, he ran towards the cloud Arcobaleno and immediately bowed in front of him.
"Please let me see my brother." Giotto said and tears started to fall from his eyes.
"Please… I need to know what happened to him." Giotto continued and was followed by sobbing.
Skull frowned at the CEDEF boss and looked at the others. All of them look like they haven't slept. Yes, even Reborn. Skull feeling also guilty of what happened to his student, sighed and before deciding.
"Did all of you regretted what you had done to him?" Skull asked and clenched his fist.
"yes! I.. No WE regretted what we had done to Tsuna-nii. I was too proud of myself and I have forgotten that I wanted to protect him, that's why I accepted these." Tsubasa cried.
It took Skull several seconds before answering. "Well, then. If you are ready enough, just follow me." Skull said as he walked out of the room. They followed Skull until they reached the hospital where Tsuna is.
"Wha-what are we doing here?" Iemitsu asked.
Skull didn't answer, but he gave them a look. When they are now in front of Tsuna's room, Skull saw a horrified expression from Aria "Your vision is right." Aria puts a hand over her mouth and remembered her dream and the grave the saw there.
"Make sure that you are loud, it might help to wake him up" Skull said as he slowly opened the door, revealing a sleeping brunette with a cast on his two legs and left arm, an Iv on his left hand and a respirator. Around his head is a new placed bandage. All of them looked at Tsuna with horrified expressions. Nana, Iemitsu, Giotto and Tsubasa cried as they went towards the brunette's bed. Tsubame and Kyuubei went home for a while to change clothes and rest for a bit.
"He's in a comma."
All of them saw a banner, written there 'Happy 18th Birthday!' and under it are piles of gifts. Reborn stared at the banner and saw some messages.
"Be strong"
"We miss you"
"I miss your smile"
"We love you"
"Let's race"
"I miss hearing your loud and annoying shrieks"
"When you wake up, I'll treat you at Yamada-san's. You love his cakes right?"
"I want to see your idiotic smile again."
"When you wake up, I'll give you 50% off on the paint"
"Our team misses you, Race is not fun without you."
"Don't worry, we will always be here"
"I'm sorry , Tsuna. I was the one who ate your cake at Skull's mansion, so please, wake up"
Reborn clenched his fists as he kept reading. Skull, who is watching from the other side, saw the sky pacifier in Tsuna's neck.
"Skull, is this what you meant by sleeping?" Aria asked as she wipes her tears, gaining a nod from the other.
Tsuna was lying on the grass when he suddenly heard voices.
"I'm so sorry. Please.. Please wake up"
"My baby, It's me, your mother."
"I regret everything! Please wake up"
"Please wake up. I want to tell you how sorry I am"
"Nee, Tsuna-nii-chan. It's me Yuni. Please wake up. I want to play with you"
Tsuna closed his eyes and smiled as a tear fall from his eye.
"I don't want to wake up." He said as opened his eyes and looked at the sky where his memories three years ago are playing.
"I want to stay here. I don't want to burden them more. It's not like those voices came from them. I'm just being a burden to them."Tsuna continued as he smiled at his memories with them.
THE END
A/N:As you can see, the title is Burden is now finished where Tsuna accepted that he is a burden to them AND!
