HAUNTED

THE TRAINING

**********///////I am a terrible person for procrastinating this one for so long. Please bear with me. I will do my best to keep the update :'D//////////*************

_____________________________________________________________________

      Tsuna leaned down her bed. The first day arriving to the future had really drained her both physically and mentally since deep in her head, knowing that she had died was one thing. But Gokudera, Mukuro, and that Chrome girl died because of her? It was too much. She gagged her mouth with her palm, trying hard so that her woe could not be heard but on the outside, everyone knew she was lamenting over innocent people's death. Even so, she knew she couldn't just stay there and be useless. She really must do something.

        Reborn sighed, rubbing the back of his head. He could still remember his request towards the 9th regarding her opposition on inheriting the title but to his dismay, it was flatly rejected. To make it worse, knowing that Tsuna died young as she became a mafia boss makes him questioned himself did he really must continue this. But he trusted Yuni more than anyone. 

      'There will be one loop hole. During the time, Tsunas from all parallel universe including our Tsuna will lend Tsunayoshi their flames. As soon as Giotto shifts from this world towards the Tsuna on that side, which is the only parallel world that the vongola had won, everything will turn to normal.' 

       Yuni's words echoed in his ears. They gave hope but at the same time, desperation. If only there was another way to solve this nutcase of a problem. If only Tsuna was a boy. If only they were a lot more stronger... 

If only...

A sudden knock rang softly as it awaken Reborn from his daydream. He knew too well who it belongs too and got up with a sigh, walking towards the door just to find the petite brunette by the door, eyes red and puffy and yet determined.

"You sure you want to do this?" He asked for her consent.

"For those people who died because of me... I'll avenge them. I may not be strong... But I will do my best!" Her eyes glowed the fire of determination. 

     Seeing how determined the petite princess was, he mentally groaned and of course, he knew far too well what he was assigned to and yet his gentleman side was rebelling against his protocol. If Tsuna was a boy, he would not hesitate to go harsh on him since it was a man's duty to fight and protect what was important for him but for a lady? A lady? It was probably his masculinity, the ego of a gentleman's pride that forbade him from agreeing but knowing the women he knew, Lal', Bianchi, Yuni, who fought side by side with him, he sneered, knowing his answer. A woman was never weak, yet, stronger than what a man could ever think of.

"Don't you dare go against your own words, baka-Tsuna," He messed her hair from a pat and he could see a small pout from the lady which slowly turned into a smile and nodded on his answer.

       Tsuna may not notice it, but Reborn decided to ignore the presences nearby. Gokudera was eaves-dropping nearby while Hibari who was about to approach her stopped half-way. He wanted to inform the brunette that he was the one who will be conducting her training but noticing the number of statures there, he decided that the news should reach their ears by tomorrow. 

"Sawad- Tsunako..." He took out the handkerchief he once gave her to clean up the food residue on the roof top which she returned cleanly and gripped it hard, as if hoping it would break. He was too late.  He did not know why the brunette's presence itself could stir him so badly. Upon the news of her death made him so agitated, so furious and yet so... heartbroken. Why did he felt so sad? Why did he wanted to see her smile so badly but only for him? He shook it off and walked ahead back to his own hiding centre which was nearby.

    Gokudera Hayato lay down and stared at the ceiling, frowning upon hearing Tsuna's request on training herself so that she could be stronger. He, too, wanted to be a part of it. So the first thing he would do in the morning was to follow her for the training. Yamamoto Takeshi who took the lower bunk noticed how silent the smaller silverette was. 

"Asari, do you think we could pull this off?" He asked the older swordman.

"I trust all of you. For now, Gio seems to be terribly heartbroken..." Asari replied, frowning. "Even when he's by her side, she could not see her nor could she hear him. 10 years ago, they managed to re-unite... and yet.... What a cruel fate."

    All guardians from the future knew how head over heels both Giotto and Tsuna were towards each other and yet, some may agree but some of them thought it was crazy and impossible. It was incest and not only that, they were separated from time and space. 

"If one of my prayers will definitely be heard and came true, I wish, that both Giotto and Tsuna... Be re-born into another family, another life from this... and be the lovers they were meant to be..." Asari said before vanishing.

      Looking at his ring, Yamamoto frowned a bit and closed his eyes, "I would wish for the same..."
