Normal POV

Feeling wet over his head, Tsuna slowly stirred as he tiredly opened his eyes. "ah, you've finally awaken..." said Riku who was changing the dried cloth on Tsuna's forehead.

"where...?" Tsuna questioned weakly. he felt a bit feverish for some reason.

"Toshi and the others brought you to my house in my and my sister's request" Riku answered

"Riku-san..." Tsuna called but then stopped.

Riku can sense the uneasiness from her brother, therefore she smiled fondly at him to make things less tensed.

"you know? after you passed out, They told us about your condition... that for a reason that they couldn't mention, your 'amnesia' went worse. But you know what? somehow, I felt like there's something more behind their story..."

Tsuna just silent, as he averted his gaze to everywhere but her eyes. He afraid that staring to those curious eyes would lead him to spill everything out.

Besides, like it or not, Riku is just too similar with Aria. There's something within her that makes him want to wails like a children seeking for protection.

Riku however, has not yet giving up on reeling any information off him. But knowing  Tsuna, he won't tell her much. Probably nothing at all. 

However, it's still worth of try, right?

"Tsuna..." She called, "I won't pry any questions ever again, if only... If only you would look into me and answer me this single question... please?"

Relucantly Tsuna looked up and stared at those hypnotizing eyes, "could you tell me... are you my big brother? The one that I knew" She asked softly. There's a tint of plea in her tone.

Tsuna closed his eyes as he stayed silent for a while...

{I think a little hint will be okay...} Cielo said.

{Oi Oi, what are you talking about? his facade will be ruin if ANYONE knows!} Kuro argued.

{B-But we're talking about Riku... I-If it's her... well...} Tsuna voiced his opinion timidly.

{-Even if it's just Riku... don't you think the other will be suspicious? Especially that little hitman} Shiro cutted.

{you got your point there, but for what I have seen, Riku-san would perfectly hide it for Tsuna-san. I mean she's been doing that before} Shiyo said.

{no matter how I looked at it. the risk is just too big... I object} Henko said with frown that rare to present on his face. It's indicating that he's taking this seriously.

{guys... I think we should let Tsuna to handle this one for himself. I'm sure he could do it. Right, Tsuna?} Natsu said, smiling at the brunet who also silent even in his mindscape.

They stopped their bicker in that instant and eyed Tsuna with many kind of gaze. Most of them are concern and curious.

{So... Tsuna?} Henko asked.

{...}

Tsuna then decided to answer with a smile "Maa~ aren't I always your brother?" His words was sincere and when she saw this she smiled as well. a teary yet happy smile.

"I'm glad that you're back... I missed you a lot, you baka..." She gave a watery chuckle as she ruffled Tsuna's brown locks.

"gomen..."

"maa... it's alright... at least now I could relaxed a bit." Riku replied. "while for you mister... you need a good time rest, Mizuki-san who was checking you told me that you were like this because you exhaust yourself badly."

Tsuna shot a confused look at the mention of the name and Riku take the sign, "oh him? he, Sora and one of her friend are curently staying here after your disappereance to the future. they now know about who you are because Reborn told them so. Didn't he tell you?"

Tsuna shooked his head a bit as he crooked the word of , "why...?"

Riku shrugged her shoulder, "you know him. always do what he wants. Well, at least it makes things less troublesome in a way..."

Before Tsuna could asked for more what-he-had-missed information Riku hushed him away, "Didn't I told you to rest? Just take a peaceful sleep for now... I'll make sure that everything is okay while you're at it... and don't worry, your secret is safe with me" Tsuna smiled a little.

Riku flashed a smile before she stood up from her seat wanting to leave him to sleep. But Tsuna stopped her by calling her name.

"Riku?" The Ravenette turned around, "Yes?"

"stay with me untill I fall asleep, please?" The brunet shyly asked.

Riku chuckled again before she went back to her seat, "alright then... now sleep..." This time Tsuna obeyed. He's smiling in his sleep, something that he didn't do for so long.

'It sure felt nice to know that someone is there for you...' Tsuna thought as he slowly drifted to the dreamland...

~Timeskip, next day~

By the time Tsuna was re-awaken, it's early in the morning. He was sleeping all day long yesterday, and now he's fresh as new.

Glancing at his side, he saw Riku sleeping in sitting possition while her head and arms are on the bed. he cracked a smile as he stared fondly at the sleeping ravenette. Tsuna doesn't want to disturb her, so he take his blanket and covered Riku with it so she won't catch a cold. Riku stirred a bit, but that's it.

After leaving a note that said he'll be back before dinner, Tsuna sneaked out from the house. Successfully not awaking Mizuki who is sleeping on the couch.

{hey, where do you think you're going this early?} Henko asked, yawning.

{just a little walk and probably a refreshing jog? afterall I can't stay being weak all the time. I have to gain up some stamina for the up coming battle. therefore I'm going to train. You're in?} Tsuna asked. But Henko just yawned again.

{meh... I'll do that later. I kind of sleepy at the moment. I need my beauty sleep} The blond replied as he cuddled with himself while Tsuna chuckled.

{fine... I'll just start this my self then...} Then with that said Tsuna went to train himself for the whole day, skipping the fact that on that day the rain arcobaleno, Colonello would start his trial of combat on Toshi's famiglia....
