CHAPTER 15

It was a sight unlike any other. One that is both breath-taking and scary at the same time.

Lampo clamped his mouth shut, he was afraid. For once Tsuna scared him to the point that he was paralyzed with fear and his breath was racing, his mind thinking of different ways Tsuna might force the answers out of him.

To put it simply, he was overthinking.

"Lampo-San, aren't you going to answer?" Tsuna asked, leaning closer to the frightened teenager. Tsuna was confused, wondering why this person in front of him would be this scared. He only asked a question, it's not like he would shot Lampo with a Gun if he doesn't receive any answers,

"I...." The cow managed to mutter out, making Tsuna stared at him curious of his answer. ".." There was silence, Tsuna had allowed the boy to think to choose his words wisely. After all, Tsuna doesn't like liars.

"What I saw.... It was almost like-"

"YOU DAMN COW!"

Seems like someone found them. The door was kicked open with brute force, slamming it down to the floor. Tsuna immediately released Lampo from the chains tied around him, he didn't want anyone to know what happened between him and Lampo.

Tsuna gave a small glare at Lampo, telling the cow to keep quiet. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT MEETING YOU KNOW!" G rushed up to Lampo as he dragged him out of the room. "Ahaha, G is never the patient one" Asari said, standing just by the doorway. Watching as G dragged Lampo away and marched to the common room.

"..." Asari looked from the corner of his eyes. Why was Lampo with Tsuna? He thought that the youngest would be in the kitchen searching for sweets but No, he was with Tsuna.

"Tsuna, about what happened with G. He doesn't mean it so I hope that you'll forgive him." The man said with a smile. Tsuna just stared up to the smiling man for a few seconds before looking away.

"It is fine, I'm used to it."

A simple answer, He was bullied to the point that he was sent to the hospital for a check-up. What G did was nothing compared to that. But that simple answer left a big impression on Asari. For he once heard a similar response before.

"Its fine Asari-Nii, I'm used to playing like that" he heard instead.

He can't help but felt like those two sentences were the same, and maybe, the result might turn out the same as well. "Tsuna... Can I ask you a favor?" The man asked. Tsuna tilted his head confused but his face stays the same. "It's about Giotto."

"Onii-Sama? What about him?"

"Well, You're his brother. And what happened in that room just now..."

Now Tsuna seemed to understand where Asari was going. He wants me to break that wall between Onii-Sama and I...

It was obvious. Asari and the rest have been with Giotto for years since Giotto started School, and meeting Tsuna came sooner or later. The Guardians already knew the brick wall between Giotto and Tsuna. Maybe they wanted to break the wall down themselves.

"I hope that you could at least let Giotto understand you more." Asari spoke, his eyes never left Tsuna's, it just comes to show just how to determine he is. The determination Tsuna saw somehow frighten him deep down. The strength that comes with determination, it was something Tsuna could never have. "..." or it was just something that he was too lazy to obtain.

"What happened between me and Onii-Sama is none of your business Asari-San" He said with a stern face, but it didn't waver Asari. Tsuna sighed as he looked away from the man.
"...Alright, maybe, I'll try to" He answered as the man smiled widely.

"Thank you Tsuna! Then I'll be off, Like G said, there's a meeting going on. See ya!" Asari waved goodbye as he ran down the hallway with a bright face. Leaving Tsuna to watch as his shadow disappears.

"As if I would" Tsuna muttered to himself, leaning against the wall with a small smile that hides a different meaning. His mind drifted to when Lampo was about to answer his question.

"...That was a first, to think that someone would call me that..."

It was funny how a first impression could turn out. But for Lampo to give such a big impression on his Future-Self in that state. It was almost funny.

"What I saw.... It was almost like......an Angel"

In the common room, The 10th Generation of Vongola gathered in the room to discuss a special and serious topic. What to do with Tsuna now that he's here.

"..."

Nothing came to mind, they know that Tsuna is safe in the underground shelter. But they knew that they can't look after him 24/7 when their fighting war with Byakuran.

Knowing Tsuna, the brunet might wonder somewhere by himself and get killed by Millefiore soldiers. But they still can't overlook the fact that Tsuna knows the whereabouts of their 'dead' brothers.

"Dame-Giotto, Tsuna can handle himself. For now, just focus on winning the fight in front of you" Reborn stated. Giotto stared into the eyes of the hitman, at least he was given a suggestion to do something besides pulling himself deeper into guilt. "Giotto, it's not good to be depressed!" Asari smiled beamed through the room as he delivers good news to the blonde.

"Tsuna said that he would give you a chance to get to know more about him!" That sentence itself had just brought Giotto out of his depressed state. "REALLY!?!? OTUOTO! I'M COMING!" Giotto tried to run out of the room and into his little brother's arms. But the Hitman was giving out such a killing intent that Giotto pause before he steps out of the room.

"Dame-Giotto. Focus on the Fight Before you die -by my hands-"


-Line Break-


Deep in a hidden base, Shoichi was back in his 'work-place' after he had sent Tsuna to the future. Despite the stomach pains he was having, he manages to continue on his task. But it was too bad as the boss has called for his presence.

"Shoichi-Kun~ Have a marshmallow!" The happy boss sat on his chair while carrying a big bag of marshmallows. The air around the boss was odd, Shoichi had never seen Byakuran this happy before. What happened? Was he found out? Did Byakuran manage to corner the Vongola?

"You didn't call me out just for this...right?" Shoichi asked, keeping a straight face. Byakuran pause, his eyes narrowed at the red-haired boy before breaking into a wide smile. "Of course I did! We are friends after all, and I want to rewards for your service!" Byakuran said, throwing bags of marshmallows that magically appeared out of nowhere at Shoichi. And now, Shoichi is carrying 5 bags of marshmallow in his hands. "Now then, I'll see you soon Shoichi-Kun~"

And as soon as Shoichi left the room, Byakuran looked out the glass window behind him.

"Thank you Shoichi-Kun, For what you've done" He whispered with a smirk, recalling the past from years ago. "It's thanks to you, one of the reasons for War have come back" He looked up to the sky, there weren't any clouds, just paint of blue hues.

His eyes showed nothing but sadness as he gazes up to the sky, his fingertips touching the cold glass.

"Tsu-Kun, Welcome Back"
