Masked Truth (KHR Tsuna fanfic)

Chapter 16: First Crack

"DAME-TSUNA!!!"

The teen jolted awake, his eyes widening as big as plates. The classes snickered at the boy but he paid them no attention. Rather, he looked on sleepily in front of him. Gokudera and Yamamoto exchanged weird glances. Wouldn't Tsuna usually flinch as would he smile awkwardly at the teacher? Wouldn't he fiddle in his seat with shame? What in the world was that lazy look on his face?

Tsuna was swaying back and forth hardly keeping to his consciousness. His eyes were threatening to close. Soon after, his arms gave up and he conked out. The teacher fumed at this. Steams bursted out of his ears.

"SAWADA TSUNAYOSHI WAKE UP!!!!" Nezu yelled as he threw a chalk right towards Tsuna.

Being hardly aware he grabbed the chalk like he would usually do when Hibari or Erva wanted to hurt him. The class gasped, the boy was still sleeping!

Jealousy roared in the heart of the younger twin. He stood up and kicked the chair away. Tsuna fell with a deep thump on the ground, his butt throbbed with pain. His classmates laughed at him shaking the room like an earthquake. Slowly, Tsuna looked at his brother.

"Wake up you lazy lout," Hayashi hissed at Tsuna. The aura was so suffocating Tsuna gulped his breath. Quickly, he nodded. Hayashi scoffed as he turned on his heels and plopped down on his seat.

"Thank you Hayashi. Dame-Tsuna, you should be more like him," Nezu sneered as he tapped the board indicating the class that the lesson will continue. Tsuna groaned inwardly.

Gokudera looked at him in concern. "Are you okay Tsuna-sama?"

Tsuna could only smile warmly at his friend. Despite how they treated him yesterday, today was a big change.

Yes, they did not know what they did to Tsuna.

*Flashback

"Where am I?!" Gokudera yelled as he jumped out of bed. There was another bed beside him which belonged to Yamamoto. The walls were silver metal with a door at one corner. His yell soon woke up Yamamoto who still couldn't grasp the situation.

As if someone was watching all along, the door itself slid open. A teen wearing a suit and a cloak walked in with Reborn on his shoulder. Gokudera noticed the mask that covered the boy's face.

"Who are you?" Gokudera shouted as he saw the man. The boy was wearing a playful smirk.

"Who else? Your savior? I'm Hacker de Cielo, nice to meet you Hayato-kun," Cielo reached his hand towards Gokudera but he slapped it away.

"Where is Tsuna-sama?!" A surprised looked appeared on Cielo's face but it quickly vanished.

"Calm down Gokudera, Tsunayoshi had returned home. The mission was a success. Cielo brought you here to help with your injuries. In fact, he brought all the injured people to his secret headquarters," Reborn said calming Gokudera for a moment.

Gokudera stared at the teen in confusion. "You're Kaito 27 right? The new hacker of Vongola? It's an honor! I apologize for being so rude earlier!"

Cielo jumped back a few feet when Gokudera bowed down to him. Really, he could never get used to his change of friend's behavior.

"Ahahaha.... It's alright Hayato-kun. You should take a look at your friend, he'a waking," Tsuna pointed with his chin at the waking Yamamoto.

"Huh? Where am I?" Yamamoto muttered.

"Welcome to Ciel-"

"Cielo! Oneway is at it again!!!" Erva rushed in through the door panting constantly.
