Sky's Worry

"Oi" A slap to his face, Tsuna was rudely woken up from his slumber.

A soft series of coughs escaped his lips before then the pair of brown orbs revealed from their hidings. "...yes?" his voice is so dry and frail. 

The caller was not Dr. Mauve. He didn't recognize the owner as the purplenet anyway, so... 'who?'

"Master wanted to get you away from here." That blob of brown locks answered him. "So get on your feet" The carbon copy continued after taking off the whole thing that was injected around the worn out sky, including the chains.

Right.

His clone was the one who's around, not the said doctor. 

He doesn't know where he'll be moved to, but aside from what the man has done regarding his project, the guy really treated him decently. Unlike what he ever thought of what it means to be kidnapped. It's both relieving and disgruntling on his part. But for now, he's testing his luck.

—Getting yanked off the bed, that trembling body trying to regain his footing. But it was no use. 

'Shit. I don't think I can walk.' He grunted softly, attempting again just to fell on his knees. Head barely able to be lifted up to meet the owner of green and yellow mismatched eyes.

Wait.

He blinked. 'I thought they would be brown if not amber pairs like mine and Ie-kun?' he was late to realize. 

Not that it matters for now. 

The teen clicked his tongue before then opened up his mouth once again, "Very well then, I'll carry you out. Master orders couldn't be disobeyed and we need to go fast"

Tsuna just nods. 'He said 'couldn't' not 'shouldn't'... does this mean he has no full control of himself, or...?' he pondered over the ranged possibilities he could think of, only snapped out of it when he heard the other said more

"Put your weight on me and hold on tight" The clone commanded as he picked up his look alike with a piggy ride, Pale arms wrapped themselves around the firm shoulders, securing the owner's position since the head is pretty much out of it.

Only then that the don in training noticed that the sky flame within the youngster is faint, and instead, his core flame is tilting more to Lightning and Sun attribute. 

Regardless, Tsuna did as told and leaned onto him more, not wanting to fall backwards instead. And, well, if anything, the gesture did prove his point. Dr. Mauve is still as soft, he's not necessarily harmed even now.

"Hey..." With voice barely above whisper, he carefully asked. "I don't want to call you with numbers... Do you... have a name?" 

The boy hummed at the question, finding there's no harm on answering that, so "Nakoma" was his short reply.

Well, Tsuna never expected for his counterpart would even reply to him, then again, it seems like just like his snow guardian, the guy has his own thoughts and not just a puppet of sort.

"Nakoma-san..." the sky called again, "Can you please tell me where am I being taken to?" 

"Pazzo's lab" 

Tsuna blinked at the information, 'I wasn't held at Pazzo before?' His next best guess was that he was captive at Dr. Mauve's hidden lab then.

But if so...

"Why should I be there? I thought Doctor hates to meddle with simpletons?" He quoted, in that regards, honestly the man reminds him of his own cloud.

Nakoma shrugs uncaringly. "I merely following order"

This time Tsuna hummed, "And you're okay telling me all of these? Won't you get in trouble?"

"Master never said a thing about not interacting, he literally sends me to protect you and be your company. I don't see why I shouldn't" The teen grumbled. 

'Well, it seems like he's not the chatty type', the don in training concluded with a sweatdrop. He assumed that he only responded to him due to the order he was given.

Still. He was not expecting that kind of reply.

"Protecting me... from?" he couldn't help but ask

"Simpletons" —he blinked before a frown slowly present on his tired face.

"...Why?" 

"a moment ago, Master found out that your lot will come to retrieve you. And he doesn't want to deal with that. Now, can you shut up"

Tsuna felt rather sheepish at that last bit.

But if anything, That kinda make sense...?

'So, basically my family is about to come and save me. Dr. Mauve doesn't want to bother with it. But then...' If it was as simple as that, 'why don't my migraine subside?' 

Tsuna knew that something will happen at the lab. Something wrong. 

Although, with how furious his friends must have been ever since his disappearance, blood will definitely spilled tonight. It's unavoidable, he understands. Yet despite all, his intuition isn't ringing about his own well being. 

And the fact that it's more disturbing than his own blinding headache—

"Umm... Sorry, Nakoma?" he called weakly, ear barely manage the annoyed hum that the teen let out in response, "Once you get me on where I supposed to be, just head to Doctor, okay...? I won't get harmed... If anything your master would need your assistance" with voice not even higher than a whisper, he requested.

Yet, "Heh" The sky could hear him smirking instead, "I am not obligated to answer to an enemy's request."

"Oh, right..." Honestly, Tsuna was getting carried away with how exceptionally humane he's been treated. He literally forgot that they were in fact on the opposite side. 

He grit his teeth.

The gasping teen has a strong feeling that the mentioned doctor would be in danger, and that there'll be a huge chaos if the man died. Which exactly why he said so to his clone.

"Alright... Just take it as a warning then..." his words died out as he slowly slipping off consciousness again. 

with a sigh Tsuna silently prayed that Japan would still be a whole country the next time he opened his eyes.
