Chapter 1
The Mysterious Morning
"Goodbye…. Goodbye… Goodbye…"
it's echoing in my head. My chest hurts. I feel like crying. It hurts.
Huh? Who's there? This figure... this figure that is so familiar… a figure that I know too well...? But… who is it?
"I'm sorry…" it said in a sad tone that made my chest ache more.
"I'll wait! I'll wait for you… even if it would take me thousands of years… I'll wait. We will see each other again." My mouth suddenly opened on its own. Why? These emotions are all getting into me.
The person in front of me just smiled. A beautiful smile that I… again, know too well.
He cupped my face on his big, slender and warm hands. Hands that were as warm as the sun. I carressed them with mine… and then
"….." His lips move slowly and gently. He said something but I could not make anything out of it. Not a single sound can be heard from those lips.
*drip* *drip*
It's bright. The sun has come up to decorate the skies once more.
"Eh? A dream…" I whispered to myself as I wiped the droplets of water from eyes. Heh. That was... a weird dream. No… it was more like a flashback. Even though I remember nothing of that moment… everything seemed too real. The emotions were strong as if they were my own. Sadness, despair, pain, longing… and this… this warm feeling that seemed to have never been lost after the conversation… after thousands of years.
I can still feel how the wind gently patted my skin and how I wished for it to blow me away together with that person… in order to escape this moment of separation. And I remember how the sunset shared the same sadness as I did…
I can feel water starting to fall from my eyes again as I touched my throbbing chest… my aching heart…
Sigh. "What was that?"
...
...
...
*THUD*
"Hieeeee! Wh-what-?" I reacted to the sudden pain on the back of my head.
"It hurts…"
"Oi! Dame-Tsuna! How long do you plan to sleep? Today's your first day in high school and you plan to be late?" I was expecting to see an infant dressed weirdly in a mafia suit, but, standing strangely in front of me was instead a man in a mafia suit and his gun pointed at my face.
"Hiiiee! R-reborn! Please keep that! You don't have to aim at me!" I protested.
Now that the curse has been broken, he who is now plenty of inches taller than me has became more intimidating and….*gulp* more violent than ever before. It must be the confidence level rising up. I don't think I'll get use to this. It doesn't seem to be good for my heart. If I knew this would happen I never should've participated on that boss battle… Sigh…
Honestly, I expected him to stay in Italy forever not just a week… but yesterday he came back and ended up "continuing" my training. Sigh. Although I would feel lonely if he's gone, it's still a better choice than getting my life threatened every single day.
*BANG BANG*
"Hiiiiieee!"
"Oi! Stop thinking of how your life will be TERRIBLE WITHOUT ME. Get up! If you still want to live, don't be late." He commanded with an enforcing and deep manly tone. Oh how it pained my ears as he emphasized on those three words. Tch. And he said it so coolly too with a nonchalant look like Kyoya's.
"Late? Calm down reborn it's sti-" I stopped as I caught a glimpse of the clock.
"OH NOOOO! It's already 7:45?"
*BANG BANG*
"Hiiiiee! I know I know! I'm on it! Geez!"
*BANG*
"Just stop it or else you'll end up destroying my room!" I shouted as I hurriedly went down the stairs.
"Hm?" What is this? I can feel someone's presence in the room as well. Oh well… Reborn must know him.
..
..
Tsuna left leaving reborn and an unknown person (Reborn's PV):
"Hmph. You did well in the previous battle and so far you have overcome every challenge that met the family. However, you've still got a long way to go… Dame-Tsuna."
"Heh… shouldn't you be telling that to her instead?" Tch. It's about time he showed himself. This guy.
"Fon. It's still too early for her to hear that from me." I replied in a calm and cool tone, not at all surprised at his sudden appearance.
"Really? She might be inspired that her tutor highly praises her. It'll make her happy to at least know her sufferings paid off." Fon smiled. As if he was teasing me… he gets on my nerves sometimes.
"So, What did you come here for?"
"hmm… as serious as ever. Haha. Well, I just came to tell you that everything is set." His face became serious and his eyes fully open…
In his statement I can't help but smirk, a smirk which would definitely make a woman faint on the spot and call forth the angels to join her in enjoying such a beautiful sight. I longed for this body terribly.
"Heh. As expected. The Ninth would definitely give his approval on this one." I started to head outside the room and down the living room.
"Knowing that person, she might be in shock once she finds out … she will definitely go against this. You haven't told her have you?"
"There is no need. For this is part of her training… as well as theirs."
Meanwhile, Tsuna:
"Ohayo~ Minna!" I greeted as I entered the kitchen.
"Ohayo~ Tsu-chan!" Mama greeted with a smile as always.
"Eh? Where is everyone?" I asked noticing how quiet the place was. Bianchi, Fuuta, I-Pin and Lambo-kun were nowhere to be found. Are they still asleep? That's unusual. Now that I think about it… It's almost eight and Gokudera-kun and Yamamoto-kun hasn't dropped by yet.
"Aah… They left awhile ago Tsu-chan. Honestly, you were so slow that they left before you."
"L-left? B-before… me?..." I have a bad feeling about this.
Mama nodded as she handed me my lunch.
"What's the matter Tsu-chan? Is something wrong?"
"M-mama… Where t-to?... Where were they headed?" I stuttered. Shoot. I'm starting to sweatdrop. My hyperintuition tells me that this is bad.
"Ara? Didn't you know? They are heading to Tsu-chan's school. Today is the first day of the classes right? Anyway, I made your lunch extra special today! good luck on your first day as a high school student Tsu-chan! Have fun with everyone else 'kay?"
With what Mama said… With every bit of my being, I refused to go to school that day.
End Of Chapter
Ciao!
Thank you for reading this chapter!
This is my first fanfic ever so please bear with me!
Only a fan of KHR and do not own any part of it and this is the very first theme that came to mind. And I just recently watched Aquarion and the love between Sylvia and Apollo inspired me a lot I thought of mixing that kind of feel in the story as well.
Thinking of putting an OC for the "twist" too.
Comments and suggestions are welcome!^^
