KHR : The Rainbow Seal

chapter 41: Interlinked

Tsuna POV

I sleep like a log. I didn't know how long I have been sleeping because by the time I wake up, I found Kyoko chan by my side sleeping. I feel so happy that I gently touch her hair. She is worried about me. I turn around and check the time and realise that I am been sleeping for a day. I saw something on my neck again. The complete sky ring. So the battle with Xanxus is real...and if the battle is real then Yukiko!!!? I sprang up with a bolt and cause Kyoko chan to jump up " Go men na sai Kyoko chan!! I didn't meant to disturb your sleep!" I said. She smiles and tells me that it is okay.

I quickly get down the bed to find the rest. I saw Dr Shamal standing outside a room and ran towards him. " Where is Yukiko?! And mina?!" I ask breathlessly when I run over. He opens the door, revealing the people inside. " Judaime!!" " Tsuna!!" "SAWADA!!" shouted all at the same time when I entered. I am glad at least Gokudera, Yamamoto and Ryohei senpai are all alright.

" Ohayo..what are you guys doing here?" I ask and I peep over to see maps and weird looking drawings.

" Let me explain to Judaime!!! We are searching for the remaining acrobalencos in the world. Based on their information like which family they belong and which country they were born in. Like that it helps to narrow down of our research." I nod. So that's mean that Yukiko is not awake yet.

" Have you guys see Yukiko yet?" I ask. Yamamoto signs and reply saying that none of them see her yet because Hibari is always in her room. He forbids anyone to enter except for Dino san, the infants and Coco. The rest of them tried many ways to visit her but was threatened. He only rejected the ladies like Kyoko san or Haru. The rest of the boys, he threatened badly. This sounds exactly like Hibari san!! I shivered. I want to help them but I dont know any of these so I quietly leave the room.

As I am walking along the corridor, I saw Coco sitting alone on a couch, staring into spaces. I call him several times but he didn't seem to hear me. I walk all the way beside him but he seem to not notice me. I give his shoulder a tap and then finally he jumps and face me." Ah..Sawada dono.." I immediately sit down and correct him saying, "Dont call me Sawada dono like Basil do!! Just call me Tsuna!" he gives me a weak smile and reply, " You are now Vongola Decimo. How could I simply just address you as Tsuna san?" he looks so tired and worn out. Must be hard for him these days. I insist on him calling me by my name..without adding title like dono or sama.

He smiles and return to his blank space. I ask him what was Yukiko doing and all he did is to shake his head.

" None of the acrobalenco come yet. Even the three we have are undecided to save her or not. I am not surprised because Yukiko sama was someone, everyone wish her , to be died from birth. Hence it is not so surprising at all." I heard some of Yukiko's past but I didn't know that anything about her much at all. I remember those times when she still stayed over at my house, we used to talk a lot of things but mostly they are all about me. Even till a few days ago, our conversation is always on the ring conflict which is related to me. I decided to find out more about Yukiko and the reason why she would dislike or even hate Vongola so much.

"Shitoro san...how is Yukiko when she is younger?" I ask Coco who is in his human form. He smiles and reply," You might want to move to your right so you can hear me better Hibari san." I jump upon hearing that name and look around to spot him.

" Relax, Sawada san! He won't hurt you for now. Especially you are showing concerns to Yukiko sama."

I nod and curious of what he mean by that. Why wouldn't Hibari hurt me when it comes to Yukiko? And I recall back during the battle when she was laying on the ground, for a brief second I thought my eyes playing prank on me. Because I thought for the first time I saw Hibari san tear a little. I wanted to ask him but I dont dare..unless I am seeking for a real dying will early.
