Sky's Embrace

Ch. 3 - Watching Over You

Tsuna slowly walked up to the classroom door and stood at the closed door. He took one last deep breath and closed his eyes while putting his hand on the door handle. He slid the door and opened his eyes. Luckily, Tsuna made it to the classroom before Michiru came back from the lunch break. He walked over to his desk and sat down, Gokudera and Yamamoto came rushing over to his desk when they saw him enter the room.

"Juudaime, are you alright?" Gokudera asked worriedly.

"Where'd you run off to?" Yamamoto added.

"I-I'm fine, guys..." Tsuna said quietly.

Gokudera and Yamamoto both knew that Tsuna wasn't alright, that girl just came back and they knew Tsuna was having conflicting thoughts.

Yamamoto put his hand on Tsuna's shoulder.

"Tsuna, we want to help." Yamamoto said softly. The classroom door opened again revealing Michiru walking in from lunch. She was smiling and sat down at her desk while pulling out her school work and placing it on her desk.

Gokudera glared at the girl and scoffed.

"I swear if she tries anything, I'm going to blow her to bits." The bomber grumbled. Yamamoto glanced at the girl and frowned, which it was rare to see the cheerful baseball nut do. Michiru was not well liked among the Vongola Family members.

Michiru turned around and noticed they were looking at her and gave a fluffy smile while waving happily. Gokudera muttered something under his breath while Yamamoto turned away. Tsuna looked down at his desk with a confused expression.

"Why is she... acting so... happy now?" Tsuna thought to himself. "Doesn't she remember what happened?"

The teacher stood up and signaled for the students to sit down in their seats and prepare for the class to continue.

"Tsuna, are you going to be alright?" Yamamoto asked carefully.

"Y-yeah..." Tsuna mumbled.

"Don't push yourself, if you need anything just tell me." Gokudera added.

They sighed and sat back down in their seats, making sure to keep an eye on Tsuna. Class started and the teacher began the lesson. Tsuna tried his best to focus more on the lesson and less on the girl, but he kept glancing at the once empty seat to see Michiru. She seemed so content, as if nothing happened, as if she was the same Michiru Tsuna thought he knew.

"I don't get this... what's going on?" Tsuna thought. He was confused and didn't know what to think anymore. He put a hand over his face and held his breath. What was he going to do? And more importantly, what was the girl going to do? Was she planning something?

Tsuna shook his head and frowned. Then those words echoed in his mind.

I'm always with you, Decimo, even if you don't see me, I'll be watching over you.

Tsuna removed his hand from his head and looked up. When he remembered those words, he had a warm feeling comfort him.

"I can do this, I just need to get through the rest of the school day." Tsuna thought. He felt a small sense of encouragement from Primo's words. With that, Tsuna managed to get through the rest of the school day without worrying too much.

It was time for the school day to come to an end and the class was packing up to leave. The bell rang and Tsuna got up to leave, as today he wanted to get home as soon as possible. Unfortunately for Tsuna, he could not leave peacefully like he wanted to.

"Hiya, Tsuna." A cheery voice called out as Michiru walked up to Tsuna. Tsuna stared back at her with a plain face.

"What does she want?" Tsuna thought.
