Sky From The Future - KHR ff (English)

Future and memories

Slowly Kise opened his eyes. Where am I?, he thought while his brain tried to realize what had happen to him.

"So, you are finally here." It wasn't a question, a determination. The hoarse voice of the man scared Kiseyoshi for a moment, but then he suddenly knew that he didn't have to be scared.
"Who are you?", he asked into the dark. "An old friend, you could say", the old man answered. "And where am I?" Kise didn't lose his calm this time. "In your office." My office? He tried to look around, but the curtains were closed and no light dared to sneak into the darknes. "And where is this office? And why are you in here?" "I have been waiting for you, young Sawada Kiseyoshi", the man's voice just answered calmly. "Waiting for me? But-" Kise cut himself off. But it happened by accident, he wanted to say, but now, he wasn't really sure about that anymore.

"Why?", he then wanted to know. "Because last time, I didn't wait for you. And that was a mistake..." The old man sounded a little frustrated, nonetheless his vioce was as calm as before.
"What mistake?" The man frowned. "You will know the answers you seek soon."

How?, Kiseyoshi wanted to ask, but before he could, he heared how the man began to move. Kise took a step back by instinct but stumbled over something. Nearly he screamed, but when the curtain was suddenly pulled aside, his voice caught in his throat.

The wrinkled face of the man with a black blindfold over his eyes really scared him for a second. Then the man pointed out to something behind him with his thin and bony finger.

Only slowly Kiseyoshi dared to let his eyes off him and followed his pointing. 
A gasp left his lips and a cold shower shook his body after he realized what he just saw.

Tsuna screamed his brothers name, when he just vanished into nothingness. "What happened?", Dino wanted to know and looked confused at the brunette. Worry hit him, when he realized, that Kise did not stand there anymore but vanished. "The ten-year-bazooka", a childish voice explained. "Ten-year...what?", Dino asked, but Reborn ignored him. "Do not worry Tsuna. He should be back in at least five minutes." Tsuna sighed in relief. He felt like a stone fell off from his heart. But shoulden't his ten-year old self appear?, he asked himself and questioned Reborn for the first time. He wasn't sure what it ment when no one appeared but Reborn was right, he should come back again in five minutes.
"Okey...", he said but couldn't worry less.                        
The five minutes lasted more than hours for Tsuna, but when that familiar 'puff' reached his ears, he stood up from his bed in haste. "Yoshi!", he screamed and pulled him into a tight embrace. "I was so worried!", he whisteled against his brothers hair and sniffed. "Are you all right?", he asked and pushed him away again, to look him into the eyes. "Tsuna...", Kise only mummbled. he wasn't really sure what exactly happened, but now he was back. "I was so worried. Are you all right?" Slowly Kise nodded. "I am all right, Tsuna. Don't worry too much!" Slowly he came back to reality. He couldn't let it be that Tsuna was always worried about him. It was his job to watch over him after all.

"Good! What happened?", then Tsuna curiously wanted to know. But Kiseyoshi only shook his head. He wasn't sure himself. "I saw a room. There was a desk, a chouch and a huge window with heavy curtains. I didn't left the room, so I don't know, where I was", Kise explained and tried not to sound too worried. "Hmm... That doesn't sound like a huge adventure!" Tsuna smiled and tried to cheer him up. "Yea..." Then silence came up while noone knew what to say. "I am sorry Tsuna, but I am really tired." With that he gave his brother a small smile and turned around to his own room.

After that Dino came out of Tsuna's room, where he had waited out of respect. "He seems exhausted", he mumbled and watched how Kiseyoshi closed the door behind his back. "Yea..." Tsuna didn't know what to say.
