Reborn (KHR fanfic)

Chapter VI - The Lying Rain

Opening my eyes I realized that my cheeks were wet and sticky. The next thing I noticed were two pairs of eyes looking down at me with worry although one pair of eyes hid it better than the other. Giving them a sad smile I slowly sat up and leaned against the back of the couch.

"Are you alright, Jyuudaime?"

I gave a dry laugh, "Well this is a first. Two in a row." Kyoya's eyes widened before pulling his phone out and calling someone.

"Hn. Office. Tsunayomi." Before hanging up. A few minutes later the door opened to reveal Mukuro and Chrome.

"What's going on?" Mukuro asked seriously, "The skylark wouldn't call me unless it were something serious." Kyoya twitched slightly at the skylark remark, but chose to leave it alone...for now.

"I had another dream." I whispered but everyone heard it. Mukuro and Chrome's eyes widened.

Chrome quickly walked over and sat next to me; wrapping her arms around me she spoke, " Already? But you just dreamt of Gokudera-san."

"That's not the only strange thing. The person I dreamt about, I already know them."

"Who?" Kyoya asked.

"Yamamoto Takeshi" again multiple eyes widened. After all, he would be one of the last people you would suspect to be suffering.

"Who's that idiot?" Gokudera spoke up.

"He's a student here. He's in our grade, just a different class. He's the school's baseball star. He's really popular and has a lot of friends which is strange because in my dream I could feel his emotions. He was lonely, scared, depressed, and desperate, but all I saw him do was smile and laugh. Though, I did notice his smiles seemed rather fake a while ago."

"Hn," Kyoya grunted while closing his eyes to think. A few moments later grey eyes opened, "what do you want us to do?"

"I know you're not going to like this," I gave a pleading yet sheepish smile, "but would you mind keeping an eye on him. I have a bad feeling. I want you to make sure he doesn't do something stupid."

Kyoya let out a sigh, "you owe me, Omnivore." I smiled thankfully.

"Mukuro," the indigonette's attention focused on me, "would you mind looking into his friends. I want to find out what is upsetting him so much."

The illusionist bowed dramatically, "As you wish, Tsunayomi." I giggled slightly and smiled. He was trying to cheer me up.

"Chrome-chan, would you mind going with him?" The purplenet nodded shyly, which I returned back in thanks.

"And what about me Jyuudaime!?" I blinked when, for the second time, ears and a tail sprouted from Gokudera-san.

"Kufufufu, Puppy-chan." A tic mark appeared on the silverette's forehead.

"Teme..." the bomber pulled out some dynamite while glaring at the triton wielder.

Stopping the fight before it could start, I spoke, "I want to go speak to Yamamoto-san, would you mind coming with me?"

"Of course, Jyuudaime!" he agrees happily. I gave a quick glance to Mukuro and Chrome to make sure they weren't the ones causing the illusionary sparkles that were currently surrounding the dynamite user.

"Thank you, minna." My smile brightened. I honestly didn't know where I would be if they weren't here with me.

Gokudera-san and I walked over to the baseball field where Yamamoto-san and the rest of the baseball team would be practicing. Once we made it I saw Yamamoto up at the bat. He was smiling, but I could easily tell it was strained. Gokudera-san seemed to notice as well if his frown was anything to go off of. The pitcher threw the ball. Brown eyes narrowed as he swung his bat.

Swish

He missed. For a brief moment his mask slipped as he scowled to himself in frustration. When he noticed the rest of the baseball team walking towards him he plastered on that fake smile that made a knot twist in my stomach and rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.
