Sleepless Nights (KHR FANFIC)

Death Notes

"I'm sorry... everyone..."

Tsuna woke up with a jolt. Tears were sliding down his cheeks.

He covered his face with his hand, letting out a sigh in it. 'Again,' he thought. 'I died again.'

When he told his Family about his sleepless nights, Tsuna didn't tell them. He didn't tell them one vital thing.

He remembered exactly how he died.

"Died from gunshot again, huh?" Tsuna muttered to himself.

Getting out of his bed, Tsuna knelt in front of a drawer and pulled out the lowest compartment. Inside it, a black leather-covered notebook and a pen laid at the base, as if awaiting Tsuna's appearance.

Tsuna took out the two items and crossed his legs, leaning against the bedpost as he did so.

He opened the book and flipped through some pages until he found an empty page. Opening the cap of the pen, he checked his phone, glancing at the upper corner of the screen.

'March, 14. 3.30 a.m.' he jotted down the time and date.

'Cause of death: gunshot.
Fatality: instant death.
Last words: I'm sorry... everyone...' Tsuna wrote with ease, as if he's writing a story instead of writing about his death.

'Reasons died: protecting Lambo and I-pin by jumping in front of them, taking the shot.
Ways to avoid: increase speed to change to dying will mode or create a defense that could eliminate threats." Tsuna sighed as he wrote the last word.

Lighting up his ring, he injected his flames into an orange box, causing it to glow before a lion cub with orange flames as its mantle came out.

"Hello, Natsu," Tsuna greeted the lion cub with a smile. The cub replied with a soft purr and a little nudge at Tsuna's hand.

Tsuna scratched behind Natsu's ear absentmindedly, staring at the moonless sky as he did so.

"I died again, Natsu. A Famiglia called Cazzaro tried to kill Lambo and I-pin," Tsuna told the cub as he stared out of the balcony window.

"I'm going to meet them today, Natsu. A meeting to form an alliance. Could it be a trap?" Tsuna wondered out loud, enough for only him and Natsu to hear.

Natsu just purred softly, licking Tsuna's fingers. Then, he jumped onto Tsuna's shoulder and licked the tearstain on Tsuna's cheek. Tsuna chuckled a little, a bit ticklish from Natsu's licking, and petted the cub.

"I guess I'll be needing you today, Natsu. Can I count on you to protect me?" Tsuna asked. "Gao!" Natsu roared as a reply his master's question.

"Good boy," Tsuna petted Natsu before getting him back into the box. Standing up from his sitting position, Tsuna went near the writing desk situated not far from the balcony with the notebook secured in his hand.

After putting the book in the lowest compartment, he pulled out a file that has the word, 'Cazzaro Famiglia' printed at the front with bold letters.

Without a pause, he began to construct a plan, flipping through the folders and reading the informations contained in it as he did so. He yawned a little and felt sleepy but he steeled himself and continued his work.

'Sacrifising my sleep won't be a big deal. As long as I can keep my Family safe,' thought Tsuna as he kept doing his work.

Little did he know, a pair of eyes stared at him from the shadows, silently watching his every move.
