KHR: Into Another Dimension

Chapter 26

Nana hummed as she walked through....wherever she is at. So far, she didn't see any people to ask direction with, 'I wonder where all the people went?' she thought.

She walked pass a certain room, she stopped, she walked back and faced the door, she thought she heard.....snoring(?)

And what a very familiar snore it was. It reminded her of her husband's, though, he couldn't be possibly in there......could he?

"Ara....what should I do...It's rude to enter a room without permission..." she said, placing a hand on her chin while maintaining a firm grip on the sleeping child.

"Maybe I should knock"

.Knock. Knock. Knock.

No answer.

.Knock. Knock. Knock.

The door swung open, luckily, Nana managed to avoid it. She looked up and was met by the shock face of her husband.....ah, so her husband is inside.

"N-N-Nana"

Nana had a surprised look on her face, "Iemitsu?"

Iemitsu's eyes trailed to the child his beloved wife was carrying.

Tsuna looked at the baby blankly, "You realize that what you said came out so wrong, right?".

Reborn shrugged, "No it didn't, you just interpreted it wrong" he countered.

".........."

".........."

Timoteo cleared his throat, "Schnitten, go show Tsunayoshi's friend around the mansion"

Schnitten nodded, "Of course, Nono", he turned to Takeshi, "Takeshi, why don't I show you the baseball field I was talking about? We can also play a few rounds if you want" he offered. Said boy nodded and happily followed him out.

Shamal looked at Hayato, "Hayato, here, this is the way to the training room. Go there and train" he said, handing Hayato a small paper, which he took gladly before running out the room.

"So Tsunayoshi, I heard of your feats at Gemma's mansion, what you did were amazing, considering your age. Tell me, how did you get so strong?" 

Tsuna smiled, "I train, if you don't mind, can we speak my native language? I'm tired of talking Italian, I'm just a kid, after all"

Timoteo nodded, "Who trained you, Tsunayoshi? Surely, there must be one person who trained you."

"My trainer or tutor as I prefer to call him, is......gone in this world" Tsuna replied with a strained voice, having remembered how his tutor died, sacrificing his life for him.

Besides, half the truth, half the lie, if you talk to someone with Hyper Intuition, it's better to use that tactic.

Timoteo nodded again, feeling bad for ever asking him something painful, "I see, I'm sorry"

"Don't be, it's the one who killed him that has to apologize....besides....a mere apologize won't make me satisfied" he said, whispering the last part.

Silence....

"Hey kid, I heard you can produce orange flames, can you show us?" Shamal asked. Reborn looked interested at this.

"Oh, you mean this?", orange flames appeared on Tsuna's palm, dancing wildly. Timoteo's eyes widen at the purity radiating from it, so did Shamal's. Reborn hid it well but he too looked surprised.

Tsuna closed his palm shut, extinguishing the flame.

"How old were you when you were able to produce that flame?" Reborn asked.

"5"

It was true, back in his dimension, he was able to produce his sky flame at that age, though, he couldn't control it that time, that's why Nono sealed it.

Timoteo looked shock, even his adopted son, Xanxus, produced his flame in an age older than five.

Reborn hummed, "I want to test your strength"

Shamal and Timoteo looked at Reborn as if he was crazy, "Reborn, no matter how strong he is, he's still a child!" Shamal argued, unconsciously switching back to Italian.

Tsuna looked amused, "Hoooh, I'm a child? He's a baby, or is is that..."

His eyes glowed.

".....there's something you're all hiding from me, like a....motive...behind all of this, hmm?"

Shamal froze, Timoteo glanced at the brunette with calculating eyes, Reborn smirked, "Interesting.... though (he looked at Shamal pointedly) I said I wanted to test your strength, I didn't mention anything about fighting"

Before they could talk further, the door to the room slammed open, All looked at the newcomer, "What's wrong, Amanda?"

Amanda, the maid, looked pale, "M-master Timoteo....M-Ma-Master Ie-Iemitsu has woken up a-and.." She trailed off, unsure how to say the rest, then, the sound of breaking objects and yells can be heard.

Tsuna's eyes widen as he immediately stood up and rushed off towards the source, he didn't notice that Reborn had sat on his head.

Timoteo and Shamal shared a look before following the brunette to find out what happened.

Iekatsu and Basil had just finished from exploring the town and had just gotten back to the Mansion. "Good afternoon, young master." A butler greeted with a smile as he opened the limo.

Iekatsu forced a smile, "Good afternoon to you too". Basil bowed in greeting before following Iekatsu.

"Basil, could you tell the chefs to make us something to eat, I'm hungry", Basil nodded and ran off to do as he was told.

"Good afternoon, Young Master." Sebas greeted with wide smile and a small bow.

"Sebas, where is grandfather?" Iekatsu asked, not bothering to greet the head butler in return, besides, he was one of the few people that he didn't bother to be fake with, after all, among the maids and butlers, Sebas was the sharpest.

"He's with some guests, also, Young Master Ciel has returned with them" Sebas informed.

Iekatsu scowled at hearing the outsider's name, "So he has....I prefer if he didn't come back at all"

"Isn't that a rude thing to say" Sebas said.

"I don't care, you're a butler anyway so why do you care for the outsider?"

Sebas's smile widen but he gave him no answer.

Just then, the sound of things being shattered or broken reached their ears, followed by yells.

"What was that?" Iekatsu demanded as he stood up.

Sebas poured the tea into the cup, placing it in front of Iekatsu, "I believe Master Iemitsu has woken up"

Iekatsu looked at the smiling butler before heading towards the source.
