Tsuna jumped into the air with surprise clearly written on his face.
He soared over Kawahira's head and stumbled a few meters away from the other; he fell onto one knee as he clutched his bleeding, right arm.
Tsuna snapped his head to look over his shoulder.
Kawahira slowly turned to look at Tsuna.
The white-haired man sent a flying blade attack of condensed Mist flames at Tsuna.
The brunet rolled under the attack before raising his uninjured arm to surround Kawahira in a dome of Lightning flames, creating a makeshift cage.
Kawahira eyed the barrier before stabbing one point and drawing his blade to the side; the barrier broke into green shards.
Crimson eyes were drawn back to sunset orange ones.
Tsuna quickly stood up and stepped back slightly before lowering his stance once more, narrowing his eyes.
"Kawahira-san? I know it's you; your energy signature is exactly the sa--"
The white-haired man was suddenly standing in front of Tsuna; the brunet stepped back in slight surprise.
However....the Decimo felt no ill intent. Even the time when Kawahira took a slice at him.
"Kawa...hira-sa--?"
"My deepest apologies, Tsunayoshi-kun."
The shop owner's face melted into an embarrassed smile.
"I-I...oh goodness, I'm really sorry!"
Tsuna blinked in slight surprise.
"Kawahira-san? What happened?"
The white-haired man put on a sheepish expression as he gently touched the brunet's arm.
"Maa, let's sit down for now. I need to talk to you about something...."
~~
Tsuna's arm was now freshly wrapped in bandages and scabbed over with Sun flames.
The brunet sat on the cliff edge with Kawahira at his side.
The man sighed heavily.
"Tsunayoshi-kun....I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I needed to test if you were indeed from a parallel world. Although you were injured, your genuine trust and worry for me in your words were enough for me to believe that you were a different Tsunayoshi."
Tsuna blinked in confusion.
"But......why would you need to...test me? You're the Overseer of the--"
"--Tri-Ni-Sette. Yes. I know."
"Then you would be able to--"
"--See into different worlds.......yes....I know that too....."
Kawahira's voice became softer.
"Byakuran-kun also seems to not have any memory of a few parallel worlds, no? He does not recognize you or the others."
Tsuna furrowed his brow.
