Cielo of Kitsune

Part 7

Running on a puddle of red was the first scene when he opened both eyes. His short and harsh breath could be heard, he didn't know where he was and how he got there, he also didn't know how long he had been running like crazy until realisation hit him, he wasn't just running, he was screaming too. He couldn't hear what he shouted, it was like something stuffed his ears or blocking his hearing. But, the one that scared him the most was when he couldn't control his body. He couldn't control them at all, it was like something possessing his body. Or was this body, not his?

Finally, after long ass running without knowing where are they going, he stopped. A black silhouette figure in his vision and he could feel himself shouting at them and a sudden sharp stab of pain and heaviness in his heart told him if this figure did something to make him feel this vulnerable. He needed to know who this figure was, and why he was so important to him to make him feel this way, so he tried to get closer without thinking, calling their name even though he couldn't figure out the word that came from his muzzle. 

They were just closed enough for him to see.

"This is the end of the world-" Not before he can hear the rest of the words someone calling his name and forcing him to wake up.

"TSUNA!" 

He jolted awake from his slumber, his friend staring down at him with concern. "You were screaming in your sleep I'm worried something happened to you so I wake you up.. kinda violently." His friend explained sheepishly. "Are you okay?"

Considering how messed up he is right now he sure couldn't say if he was okay. So in honesty, he shook his head, already lying on his front legs again. "Not really but it just a dream. I'm sorry I startle you." He said lowly. He felt relieved there were only two of them at the moment, throwing fit in front of your new friend was still somewhat embarrassing.

He closed his eyes until his ears heard someone (must be Yamamoto) lying beside him and felt a weight on top of his neck. The weight grounding him, he felt safe. After chasing a group of rabbits and squirrels and eating them, they chose to rest inside an empty house. That's how he dreamed the weirdest dream, woke up with a scream, and rested with his friend. He was glad he met Yamamoto.

He didn't have a nightmare this time.

An hour later or more, he woke up feeling fresh and awake. His friend wasn't here with him anymore when he did that. He stood, stretching his stiff body and sauntering out of the building to see if it was already dark. Looking around, Tsuna decided to go back to where Yamamoto probably was.  

As expected he found his friend talking with someone along with his dad. He realized that this youkai was part of Byakko's family. 

Three of them glanced his way when he stepped closer. 

"Oh, Tsuna! Sorry, I didn't wake you up I feel like you need it!" Yamamoto greeted him. 

"No, it's okay, thank you." He said to realise if the Byakko seemed to gawk at him. Shyly he nodded his head at the newcomer and stood beside his friend.

"H-hello... It's been a while since I met another Byakko." Tsuna continued. Yamamoto and the others gave him a curious stare after they heard the remarks.

"You've met with a Byakko before, Tsuna?"

Tsuna nodded. "Yeah, I accidentally met him." 

"You should tell me more about him then!" Yamamoto exclaimed excitedly but Tsuyoshi interjected their short enthusiasm. 

"We can talk about this later, son." He shook his head before focusing on the guest who just kept silent watching them.

 "Anyway this is Tsunayoshi, he is the survivor and I am fairly certain you already knew about it. And I believed you and the others looking for him right?" Tsuyoshi said.
