When the Sun goes Down

A Ten-Year-Later Fanfic

The sky was crying.

The Sky was crying.

Rain was pouring down as clouds darkened the place. Thunder stormed the area and it was inevitable: a thunder storm was coming. The sun was gone.

The Sun was really gone.

Tsuna did not know how it happened. Tsuna was only told two words, "he's dead."

Those words weighed in his heart like stones. His chest constricted and years of the practiced fluent speech was gone. Stammering flew out of his mouth like water.

"W-what are you-you.."

"He's gone, Tsuna. Body and all. Everything. Nothing is left.

"Hello? Tsuna?"

Tsuna dropped the phone down. He had stood up in exclamation when he heard the first two words. The cord slowed the phone down from hitting the floor but eventually, the gravity dragged the telephone, whole, down onto the ground, cutting the line off.

Tsuna slumped down his desk, his head rasped the side of the table. His hand fell to the ground, his eyes with a faraway look. Life was sucked out of him.

He's gone. Really gone.

The oak doors were kicked open as two men came into view.

"Tenth!"

"Tsuna!"

Gokudera and Yamamoto crouched in front of Tsuna. Tsuna did not give a single thought of them. It's just.. Too much.

The duo dared not to breathe. Something must have happened. And they will wait till Tsuna tells them himself.

Gokudera reached closer to Tsuna as he closed his eyes, tears rolling down his face like pearls. Tsuna bit his lips, till they turned white and bled. His eyebrows were scrunched together, pain evident in his face. His fingernails cut into his palm, like crescent-like knife cutting thin slices on his palm.

"Tsuna, what happened.."

"Tenth, don't cry.."

Another few figures flocked into the room, one by one, as they saw the doors wide open.

First, it was Lambo. He came in and saw the ran-down appearance of Tsuna and ran towards him. He hit Gokudera, as the one nearest to Tsuna, only to be flung back. Yamamoto held onto Lambo and mouthed an "I-don't-know".

Next, Chrome appeared. She stood rooted to the ground as she took in the surroundings. A crying Lambo, reassured by Yamamoto. Gokudera was kneeling next to... Boss? Boss was looking into the distance, whimpering, eyes drowned in tears. His lips were bleeding; His hands was bleeding.

"Omnivore, here's my report."
And Hibari took in the scene. Unexpectedly, the Hibird on his shoulder, left its place and circles his head. But that was not what was unexpected, it was that Hibird did not settle back on his shoulder, but flew to Tsuna's shoulder. And that, made everyone else realize the arrival of Chrome and Hibari.

The last to arrive was Ryohei. Screaming, he stomped into the room only to be silenced by the least expected person.

"Shut up." Hibari said.

Everyone stopped, even Lambo stopped crying and glanced at Hibari.

"Oi, Omnivore, talk."

Tsuna continued to stone, now, his knee brought to his chest, head buried in his knees. His whimpering was still heard and his hand bled even more.

"The baby will kill you if-"

"No."

That was the first word Tsuna had said. He looked up, hands still hugging his knees. His face was pale as tears streaked his cheeks.

"Tenth, what do you mean by 'no' ?"

"He's dead." The voice was hollow

"What?" It was Yamamoto.

"Reborn.. He's dead."

The sky was crying.

The Sky was crying.

Rain was pouring down as clouds darkened the place. Thunder stormed the area and it was inevitable: a thunder storm was coming. The sun was gone.

Their Sun was really gone.

There was no body. No body to bury. It was not an open funeral. A hurried one, it was. Just a small stone, carved with a huge R, uglily written. Tsuna, clad in his usual black, could not express any feelings.

He was already numb. His hands, both palms, were bandaged. But blood was still flowing out, the bandage was stained red as Tsuna clenched his fist, really hard.

"Tenth..." Gokudera held onto Tsuna's hand. He was too, affected by the death of the Sun Arcabaleno, but not as much as Tsuna or Dino.

Dino, on the other hand, was bawling his eyes out on the ground. Dino was pale but better, in comparison to Tsuna. His eyes were swollen and red while his lips were so dried. So dry. His fist rasped on the soil, begging for him to awake. Abrasions dirtied his two palms as he grabbed the soil again and again. Lambo was beside Dino as well. Lambo, for a change, was not crying but comforting Dino, looking at Tsuna, back and forth the two students.

"Tsuna... Let's go back..." Yamamoto held onto his shirt.

Tsuna shook his head as he sat down beside Dino. Dino leaned on Tsuna, still crying as he hugged his little brother, muttering between teary sobs, "he's really gone.. Little brother. He.. Reborn. Reborn..."

Tsuna remained silent.

It was still a downpour, as expected. Both 'Skys' were crying.

Tsuna draped his coat above the now slumbering Dino. Tears finally escaped his eyes as they mixed in with the rain.

Crying in the rain is always good as no one will know you are crying.

Tsuna felt lost. He wanted someone to kick him in the morning. He wanted to be shot.

But all are gone. Gone.

He remembered standing in the rain for the very first time. He was punished by Reborn. Reborn had him kneel on the gardens as he forgot to finish his paperwork. What he did not tell Reborn, was that he was feeling slightly off.

It rained and Tsuna, still knelt on the doorsteps. It was cold; he shivered. But Tsuna knew he was at fault for not finishing his paperwork.

The entire day, he just knelt there, refusing help and concerns from anyone, including Gokudera who had offered to kneel beside him. He had told Gokudera, rather harshly, "Go away" which made Gokudera back off and settled to playing the piano Tsuna had gotten for him. (Gokudera played it whenever himself was sad)

Finally, it rained. And Reborn had wanted to ask Tsuna back in, after he had knelt for an entire 24 hours which 3 hours was in the rain. Reborn had panicked for what he saw was not a whimpering 18 year-old but an unconscious 18 year-old.

The youngin was hospitalized for hypothermia and for once, Reborn had felt guilty and apologized.

Tsuna knelt down on that exact same spot, wanting his tutor to be back.

Hours later, after the rain, what greeted the guardians and finally awake Dino was an unconscious Tsuna at the doorstep.

Tsuna was delivered to the Nurse's office where he was diagnosed with acute hypothermia and depression. It took a month before Tsuna got out of depression, although work was still done but what greeted the Vongola mansion everyday was a zombified Tsuna, masked with fake smiles.

Whenever it rained, Tsuna would stand in the rain, reminiscing about Reborn and catching a cold after that. His guardians, especially Gokudera, was worried but he could do nothing.

He had once dragged Tsuna in and Tsuna for some reason, had gotten more sick than ever. He had a severe fever armed with coughs and much more ailments.

They had leaved him alone since.

And somehow, as fate likes to be twisted, the reality of everything.

It was raining, the same atmosphere as that fateful day.

Tsuna was unconscious on the doorstep. This time, with blood splattered over his chest.

Exactly 1 year, on the very same date that Sawada Tsunayoshi, the Vongola Decimo, Sky Guardian, was gunned down at the Millefore Headquarters by Byakuran one day before the date he was pronounced dead, in his very own infirmary.

The Guardians, Dino and basically everyone else, was crying like the day where Reborn had died. They mourn for the loss of another great person.

But little did they know, that Vongola Decimo had no intention of giving up the fight against Millefore.

Little did they know, that Tsuna and Reborn are coming back again.

Deleted scene- when Dino wakes up

Dino's eyes fluttered open as the first stream of sunlight attacked his face through the thick canopy of the forest. A heavy object weighed his body and he recognized the name poorly sewn onto the small tag at the back of the suit. The glanced around for the the owner of the said suit but he was not around.

Dino walked through the forest, carrying onto an utterly wet suit that had protected his own suit from the rain. His thoughts were messed up: where is he? Would he do something stupid... Please be alright.

And he saw him. Laying on the cold hard floor. He was drenched. His once fluffy hair was stuck onto his face, plastered to the skin. His white shirt was now translucent, showing all his muscles blatantly.

He ran towards the unconscious body, screaming his name.

"Tsuna-!"

I don't really know when Tsuna died and the time frame and stuff but even if it was said, just accept my storyline, it fits it nicely.

Sorry for the absence of the other guardians or anyone else except Tsuna and Dino. Like what was said somewhere, Tsuna and Dino was closer to Reborn than the other to him. Yes, they are affected but the most would be the two main ones. I wanted to add people like Bianci and Fuuta and well, okay I don't know but i didn't.

I didn't do much description for this story. It doesn't feel right with too much description so yup. There you go.

Hope you enjoyed.
