Kamisama wo Shinjiru?

Failed to protect, Happiness? ♔

-CHAPTER 24-

The boy stood with his sword over his shoulder, he smiled at the man in front of him with no sign of recognition.

"Oh? You know me? Then I shall get going, Tsuna asked me to look after Giotto-San" Takeshi said, holding his sword forward. This is the first time I've held a sword...hopefully I'm good at it. He thought as Asari did the same.

"..."

Takeshi...
.Asari looked at the boy and then to the sleeping Giotto, and back again. Right now his friends entrusted him to protect Giotto....but... He can't face his 'brother', he can't feel the need to fight him. "....do you..remember me?" The man asked, slowly unsheathing his sword.

In the future, His future-self and Takeshi were partners. So does that mean that he gave up on bringing his brother back home...?

"Hm? I know you!" Takeshi smiled, "Asari-San right? I heard your friends call you that name." He added on. The sudden feeling of betrayal and sadness chased inside of him, his brother had forgotten about him.

But, maybe it was for the best...

"Takeshi! Calm down, we can solve this mess together! Please don't do it!"

"...Sorry Asari-Nii, it's....it's just too much........ I'm sorry-"

That raining day, that day why didn't he reached there sooner? Why didn't he notice the frowns on the face he saw every day? Why didn't he save the one he thought was precious?

"Yeah" Asari smiled, "Asari is my name, yours?" holding back his frown, forcing a smile. He has to do this, he has to. In order to not lose again. "...I'm Takeshi! Nice to meetcha Asari-San"

The two brothers who kept smiling even through the toughest days.
Lost the one thing they once have. Happiness.

And the fight erupted.

-Line Break-

"I thought you were smarter than that G-San" Tsuna said, his eyes were purely on the red-head. "If in the future I'm with Hayato and Takeshi...then doesn't that mean they're my allies?"

"AS IF!"

Tsuna just ignores that shout, as much as he wanted support fighting against Decimo's Guardians. Right now he doesn't have the trust from his 'friends' except Takeshi who thinks it was just a game and went along with it. "...Hayato may fight for you..." G muttered, thinking about the future. "But that brat isn't enough to beat me, and like him. I'll fight for my Sky"

"...Haha" Tsuna smile brightly as the adrenaline came to him. He knew fully well that his overpowered, one against five powerful and destructive strength.

Maybe, if I didn't take on that role.... I would have the little brother that Giotto would love- No, If it weren't for that role, I wouldn't have met him at all.... How fate seems to make his life miserable. With a wide smile hiding his bleeding heart. He understood one thing.

"..Then I'll take you Guardian on, '-To protect Nii-Sama-' Come at me!"

-Line Break-

Again...this darkness

"Gio-Nii!"

A voice that seems to call out to me from a distance. That voice.... Tsuna?

"Leave him already Sawada"

Hm? That voice sounded...different but, it surely belongs to Tsuna.
