"Henko speak to Tsuna"

Tsuna POV

(A/N : Tsuna told Riku everything except about his vision of his death. So yeah, she knows who is the masked man now...)

I finished my story. Now I stared at Riku... as I expected, she cried...

I gasped as she suddenly hugged me tightly, with her shaken voice she then said, "I'm sorry Tsuna..."

I'm a bit surprised by that but then I rubbed her back before I asked "what are you apologizing for?"

"for not being there..." Riku answered. "for not being on your side to support you on those times... I'm sorry..."

I smiled warmly as I hugged her, I then whispered softly, "It's okay... I should be the one who apologized. I didn't tell you and anyone else about this... now, please don't cry, seing you like this will only broke my heart further" I said honestly.

This is one of the reasons why I had never told anyone about 'the truth'. I knows that they won't be ready to hear it, even the Reborn must be at least beyond of shock.

I regret that I told Riku about this. I shouldn't do it.. I should just remain silent even though that means I have to sacrifice my own feeling. It's better than told her about those. Well... even though I can feel that my chest is almost exploded because of that. At least I won't see my sister cried like this. 'Sorry Riku...' I said in my mind.

After some moments later, Riku finally controlled herself and stopped crying. "so Tsuna... about that curse, when is your time limit?" She asked, while nipping her lower lips slightly.

I know that I shouldn't have to answered but 'the rice has become porridge', she knows my story so why should I bother to hide it anymore?

I smiled, but it looks like it turned into a sad one, I can't changed it into a happy one and so I throwed my gaze at the sky, "well, I supposedly still have 2 years to spend, but from what I saw last night I think it'll be shorten 'till 1 year again..." I chuckled halfheartedly, "so basically I will die, with or without the curse." again, I receive a hug from her, this time it's tighter as if she don't want to let me go.

"don't worry Riku, It's not as bad as it's heard." I tried to comforted her. now I felt even guiltier.

"Tsuna... is there anything that I could do? Is there anything that I could do to change it?" She muffled her question. "If there is... Just say it. I would do anything to help you... I'll do it I promise... because... because I don't want to lose you..." She said it barely whispering but I can still hear it. I'm happy to hear it. This means she cared about me.

I released our hug then lifted her eyes so our eyes met. "listen Riku, this is my fate. All that I can do is accepting it and live my life. I know since I'm a child that I won't live for so long, neither it because of the abusement or the other factor, and so I've prepared myself to die anytime. And since I don't want to make anyone else worry, I never told anyone about this. But now that you know, I hope that when my time is up you can be on my side, facing my death with a smile... would you do that for me?" her eyes are glassy but she nodded. I smiled.

"Thanks..." I thanked.

There is silence between us...

"then how about your plan? Is there anything that I can help?" she asked, she's already calmer by now.

I tried to think about it, then I remembered "actually... there is..."

"yes?"

"it's about my vision about Loke-san..." I can see that her face is saddening.

"about that... is that true? Will that really happen?" she asked timidly.

"I don't know. But of course I don't want that to happen, and that's why I need your help. Do you have a plan to prevent that? I was thinking to send him away to Italy by giving a vacation packade for his birthday present, but I know that he'll be suspicious  if I'm the one who give it." (A/N : now you know the prize of the quiz –chapter 111-)

"Then, how about me? I'll give it to him..." I shooked my head, disagreeing.

"none of us can do it. He'll thought that I told you to do it on purpose. I can only think that an outsider should do it..."

Hearing that, she put her hand on her chin in thingking pose. We both do...

To be truth, other than what I've said, I can't think of any other plan. Even though I usually can planned many complicated plans just in some minutes, I just can't do it these past days. It's as if I'm slowminded.

I think I'm too tired to think about the things rasionaly... tired both of mentally and physically...

I was blank minded 'till Riku's shout snapped me back to reality, "It's simple!" she clapped her hands once.

"we could ask Roselina to do it!" She said excitedly.

I patted my forehead, "oh yeah, her! how could I forgot about her!" I said. Yeah, Roselina, you can say that she is Loke-san's lover, even thought they won't admit it they loved each other. She is Italian. Her skin is smooth silky white, her eyes is green and her wavy black hair falls perfectly framing her face. She looks like a model. It's still a mystery why wouldn't they married...

"If I remember it correctly, she works at the zoo right?" Riku asked while I nodded as answer.

"So we're going to the zoo?!" Henko asked excitedly. I smiled at his childlishness.

"Yes we are..." I answered. "Let's go then..." I pulled her hand but she stayed.

"are you sure to go to the zoo now? Aren't you supposed to rest?" She frowned.

I smiled, "I will, but later on... We need to visit her now, or else she can't cooperate with us for Loke-san's birthday tomorrow." I reasoned. "besides I want to see some lions~" I said, copying Henko's style.

"fine then... I'll let you slip for this one" She then punch my arm so I released my grip on her, "you owe me a soda for that..."

I smiled, "gotcha"

Then we both walk side by side to the zoo...
