From Another World

10. Alone

It was a weekend; I was on my way home from buying groceries when I ran into a panicked Tsuna. He was out of breath and looking around frantically.

"Tsuna!" I call. He turned to me and his face brightened a little when he ran to me.

"Have you seen Reborn?!"

"No?" I answer, tilting my head to the side. "What happened, did he travel to the future of something?"

Tsuna stared at me. "How did you know?"

"Wait," My eyes widen. "Wait, he really did?! I was just joking!"

"He got hit with Lambo's ten-year bazooka and travelled to the future. The thing is, his future counterpart didn't come here to the past and the time limit is five minutes but..."

"How long has Reborn-kun been gone?"

"It's been a whole day!" Tsuna cried. "I've been looking for him everywhere, I even asked Haru and Gokudera-kun to help."

"If it's Lambo-chan's bazooka, why not ask him?" I suggest. "I'll keep a lookout and call you if I find Reborn-kun."

Tsuna sighed in slight relief. "Thank you, Satsuki-san."

"No problem," I gave him a nod. "You should probably go ask Lambo-chan about that bazooka now."

"Ah!" Tsuna nodded, and started running again. "I'll see you soon!"

I wave back and smirk when he's out of sight.

You'll be seeing me, yeah. But it'll be the future me.

I continued my walk home, no sense of panic showed on my face or my actions. I simply went on with my chores. I got home and started to put the vegetables away, humming a tune I remember from my past life. The doorbell rang and I frowned, walking to the front and looking out of the peephole on the door.

I open the door in confusion. "Gokudera-kun? What's wrong?"

"Have you seen Reborn-san?"

I shook my head. "I heard from Tsuna what happened. No, I haven't seen him. You should be more worried about yourself, Dera."

He scowled at the nickname. "And why would I be?"

"I think you're about to get hit with a rocket." I point and he turned around, disappearing with a loud pop and pink smoke.

I half-expected the older Gokudera to show up, fanning the smoke away from my face. I sighed when no one showed up after the smoke cleared.

Of course.

I close the door and finish my chores.

The next day was uneventful; Yuujin went to hang at a friend's house, everyone else was busy trying to find Tsuna, Dad wasn't answering my calls. I sat on the couch and ate chips while watching a rerun of an old anime.

"We're not done here, Sarah."

It's cold... dark...

I was laying in a pool of my own blood. What a red color...

My stomach was bleeding out, glass imbedded into my abdomen and chest. Blood slowly built up in my mouth, dripping down.

I couldn't even scream.

I bolted awake, screaming. I frantically looked around wondering where I was, breathing hard before my hands quickly checked my body for cuts or bruises.

Oh God... I couldn't breathe. I can't breathe. I was hyperventilating. I felt pain in my lungs like there was glass still in them and stumbled to the kitchen for my inhaler. I realized that I was crying when I couldn't see the table and ran into it.
