Tsuna ran as far as his feet could take him. The memories were catching up to him; the memories that he wished so hard to forget. Tripping over himself, Tsuna cursed his clumsiness before gasping as a memory from his younger year managed to catch up to him.

"Haha, Dame-Tsuna! Why are you alive?" Tsuna saw himself crouching in the corner, trying to minimize the damage to himself.

Another powerful kick to the chest that made him loose unconscious before the scene changed again. This time, it was one of his earlier ages. The time when his father and grandfather came; the time when he felt like he lost something vital to his life.

Once again, the scene changed to his mother talking on the phone. It was right after he was bullied and he was already starting to believe his bullies. The phone call only made it worse.

"Tsu-kun? Ah, that useless child of mine. He tripped once more in the morning and was late too. But other than he's fine," his mother continued talking to somebody on the phone - he later realized it was his father - not realizing the broken expression on the child's face.

His mother acknowledged he was useless. That he was no-good... so why was he living? Tsuna nor his mother noticed the dimming of the 7 year old child. Nor did they notice the fake smile the child put on.

"...No stop... I don't want to see this.. stop it!" Tsuna screamed as he tried his best to run away before another memory that he had locked a long time ago came to the surface.

An eight year old Tsunayoshi ran away from the taunts and jeers. He came to a stop in front of the abandoned park. The children were cruel; why was he treated differently. He was only clumsy but everyone hated him for that?

"Tsuna!" a voice called out from behind. Turning around, Tsuna saw his naive younger self turn around at that call. "What's wrong?" he asked so kindly.. so kindly that he believed him.

"N-nothing! W-what are y-you doing h-here?" he had replied trying to hide his tears. The child in front of his younger self laughed and asked, "Ne, can I ask you a question?"

"Stop it..." Tsuna said, closing his eyes and covering his ears. "Stop it.." Tears ran down his face as he saw his younger self nod obliviously. Not wanting to continue seeing this, he screamed "STOP IT!"

Reborn was sitting in the living room looking at all the gathered guardians. Bianchi had taken Nana, Fuuta and I-pin outside for the day while everyone else was here.

"Is something the matter, Reborn-san?" Gokudera asked, a bit worried before he looked around and saw someone missing, "Where's Jyuudaime?"

That caught the attention of the guardians before looking directly at Reborn, who merely tilted his fedora downwards.

"Tsuna-nii is in his room, sleeping," Lambo replied.

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes, "Why isn't Tsuna here? Aren't we having a meeting?"

Before Reborn could reply, a bloodcurdling scream pierced through the house. Without wasting any time, Reborn quickly got up and rushed towards the sound. He cursed under his breath and thought that he should have stayed with his student. He had seen the tell-tale signs of nightmares but he had thought he would have been fine if he left him for a moment.
