Chapter 5

I was falling… but I was reaching my hand out, just in case… he would appear and grab hold of it.

I know… I'll be able to feel those warm hands…

I know he'll come back and save me…

I know he'll pull me out of my darkness…

Yamamoto's PoV

"You're not attending practice?" my teammate frowns "Ok… forcing you won't solve anything…"

"Thanks a lot man." I made a grin "I'm just not into it today… I'll just mess up if I attend practice."

"Alright, if you say so… just make sure you get better before the tournament comes." I made a grateful smile "Sure… I promise…"

As I made my way out the school gates, I saw Chrome and Mukuro staring at me. I made a small wave to them before leaving, trying to dodge their uncomfortable stares.

I walk through the streets while staring at the gray and cloudy sky above me. The weather seemed to be reflecting my mood today. Just like the sky, I felt depress… all day long I've only been thinking of Tsuna and only Tsuna. Even in my nap I dreamt of him.

As soon as I arrived home, I was immediately aware that the sushi place was empty, except that dad was behind the counter, cleaning some dishes.

"Did you close up early?" I asked dad as I close the door behind me

"Oh Takeshi, welcome home…" Dad turns to me "…and yeah, I had to close the shop early. I heard there'll be a storm later this night."

I didn't know why, but a bad feeling came tugging in my guts.

"Oh… ok…" I look at dad… I felt like asking him if we should go to the hospital and check on Tsuna.

He must've noticed me looking a bit troubled as he sighed

"You're really worried for him aren't you?"

I slump to a seat releasing a tired sigh as well "Y-yeah… I really can't stop thinking of him all day…"

"Then you shouldn't have left him…"

"Dad… how many times do I-"

"I know and I understand your reason Takeshi… but remember. I can take care of myself. Don't worry." Dad smiles at me softly "But that boy can't take care of himself at all… you saw it too right? How much he needed someone to lean on to?"

"I…"

"He needed you Takeshi." Dad had approached me and put a hand on my shoulder "Or else… something bad might happen."

"But dad… he warned-!"

He held out a hand silencing me immediately "I know it might endanger our lives, but if that's the case… how about the boy? How much is his life endangered? I bet it's more serious than getting killed."

I look at Dad in shock. I don't know what he meant but… I was just shock.

"You're… right…" I stood up I gave dad a determined look "I'll go visit him!"

Dad just grinned at me before giving me a thumbs up. I ran out the house while yelling

"Thanks a lot Pops!"

Tsuna's PoV

I groaned in pain as I limped through the empty street. It seemed like there was gonna be a storm soon and all the people had left to get to their homes. I clutch my broken right arm. Apparently, when I fell from the third floor I had a tree to cushion my fall and just end up with a broken arm. Of course, after that I ran away while ignoring my broken ankle, before people could start surrounding me and before those guys find me.

I gasped as I trip and land on the ground roughly. I whimpered before standing up again. I continued walking/limping not bothering about the fact that the wind had started picking up and I was about to crash into someone.

And then I bumped into him.

"Hey! Watch where you're-" he looked at me in shock, I'm not sure why though. I took this opportunity to observe him, the guy had silver hair and forest green eyes.

"So-sorry…" I muttered before continuing on my way, hoping that I wouldn't get beaten up by him.

"O-oi…" a hand suddenly grabbed my left arm

I immediately pulled away but thanks to the force I fell on the cold asphalt… I put my left arm above my head "P-please don't hurt me…! I-I didn't mean to bump into you!"

The guy was silent and before I knew it he knelt in front of me and held out a hand, I flinched "It's ok… I won't hurt you…"

I look up at him cautiously, the scowl he had on when I bumped into him had vanished and was replaced by a soft and gentle look in his face. I shakily took his hand and held it before he spoke

"My name's Gokudera Hayato…"

Yamamoto's PoV

I ran towards the hospital and I had immediately noticed the wind picking up. The storm was coming. I went inside the building and asked the nurse sitting by the desk about an unnamed boy in the hospital (I didn't know his name when we brought him to the hospital… so, yeah…).

The nurse shook his head and I look at her in shock. I was about to probably demand her where he could've gone, when, all of a sudden, I heard some nurses gossip about something.

"Hey, hey, did you see? This afternoon, a patient tried to climb out his window?"

"What really? What happened to him?"

"He fell of course…"

My eyes had widened at this, I quickly turned to the nurses. But they didn't seem to notice me staring as they continued their chit-chat.

"But luckily there was a tree that cushioned his fall…"

"Oh my gosh, and then? And then?"

"Well, before we could send him back in the building he ran off despite the injuries he had…"

"Oh no! What was the patient's name?"

"He had none… he was registered without a name… oh and that reminded me! Earlier before that, there were some guys looking for him… and they looked like foreigners-…"

I wasn't able to listen what they had to say next for I had bolted out the building.

The rain started pouring but I couldn't care less… I had to find Tsuna. The person who was chasing him… they almost found him! So Tsuna must've tried to climb out the window. I prayed that the brunet was ok and that he wasn't too injured. But who am I kidding, he fell from the THIRD floor! I knew I should've put him in the first floor.

"Tsuna!" I look into alleys

"Tsuna!" then I checked some garbage cans, a cat jumped out of nowhere.

It was now raining hard and a strong gust of wind almost knocked me down. I slammed a fist on the wall.

I can't find him!

Angry tears had mixed with the rain.

I wasn't able to protect him when he needed me!

"TSUNAAA!" I screamed out, my voice mixed with the roars of the wind of the storm.

The storm that had covered the sky and overcame the rain.

End of chap...
