Chapter 18: Haunting Pasts (Part 4)

"Wait.. You haven't really mentioned your last name, haven't you?" Reborn asked, eyeing the mysterious young brunette.

Suddenly, the air around the boy turned cold, making the Soon-to-be-infants Arcobaleno, confused.

Tsuna's eyes were shadowed by his bangs as he lifted up his head, his soft brown eyes reflected hurt, anger, and pain.

He closed his eyes and gave them a fake smile, "Ne, can I come with you?"

'He's changing the topic..' Seven of them thought.

Skull wasn't really that good on catching up. Lets just call him an idiot.

"Sure Brat!" Skull says as he motions the brunette to come near him.

Tsuna smiled wider as he went near them all.

'He looks familiar..' Luce thought with a frown.

"What's wrong Luce-san?" Tsuna tilted his head a bit to the side, making the said woman blush as she ran to brunette to take his air away.

"Kawaii~"

"Luce, you're killing the brat." Reborn frowned as Luce glared at him.

"He isn't a brat."

Reborn sighed in surrender and he saw Tsuna mouth, 'Help me'

Reborn shook his head and tilted his fedora down. He gave him the, 'Go-Die-In-The-Woman's-Arms-See-If-I-Care' look.

Tsuna pouted, regretting to charm the bluenette.

Tsuna eventually pushed the woman away and gasped for air.

"Ah! Im so Sorry Tsunayoshi-kun..." Luce sulked into Reborn's arms.

Tsuna recovered and gave the woman a charming smile.

"Its okay Luce-san. And Tsuna's fine for all of you." Tsuna said with a grin and a peace sign.

Luce blushed and Lal Mirch 'tch'-ed looking away, but she had to admit that the brunette was cute.

"Anyway, where were you going?" Tsuna asked.

"Are you a spy, Kora!" Colonello asked, smiling at the brunette.

"I never wanted to be one.." Tsuna shot a confused look and Colonello laughed.

"I like this kid. kora!"

"Im not paid enough for this.." Viper grumbled.

"We are from the Mafia." Verde said as he pushed his glasses up.

"Isn't Mafia bad?" Tsuna asked, 'Meh, Im part of the mafia too.' Tsuna thought.

"We were looking for a certain hacker." Fon stated calmly.

"Wait, how can we say this to a child?!" Skull yelled.

"Its fine, he'll forget all about it anyway." Verde stated with a smirk and Tsuna backed away from him.

'No way in hell am I going in your arms..' Tsuna thought. 'Oh God, are they looking for me?' He frowned inwardly but kept a smile on the outside.

"Sky27." Reborn lowered his fedora more.

Tsuna's eyes sparkled as he neared the intimidating hitman with no hesitation at all.

"I wanna come too!" Tsuna cheered. 'I wanna come look for myself..' He mentally sweat dropped.

"No. Its too dangerous." Luce scolded.

Tsuna frowned, "But I can do Karate!" 'And You know, you're looking at what you're looking for.'

"Show us your skills. Kora!" Colonello smiled, interested of the brunette.

Tsuna neared a big tree, did I mention they were in a forest?

Oh well.

He closed his eyes and hit the tree with one chop of a hand.

A second later, the tree fell.

It fell.

'The hell is this kid made of?!" Skull thought.

Reborn smirked and Luce gaped.

Verde pushed his glasses up and smirked while Viper didn't care.

Lal Mirch was interested in the brunette and Colonello was laughing.

Fon smiled calmly among all of them.

"See? See!" Tsuna motioned.

'That wasn't Karate at all..'

"Okay, you're in. Kora!" Colonello motioned the brunette to come near him.

But before Tsuna neared him, he smiled and bowed.

"I'll introduce myself properly first..." Tsuna trailed off.

The Arcobaleno wanted to know who this young being was.

Being this strong was beyond being a young boy of his age.

"My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. Its nice to meet you all!"

..........

"What the hell?? That brat has the same surname as Sawada Iemitsu!" Lal Mirch pointed out confused, with wide eyes.

Tsuna clenched his fists as he showed them a forced smile.

"He's... My Father.." He said the word 'father' bitterly.

"But he only had two sons!" Lal Mirch protested which mad the brunette's heart sink.

Clenching his fist harder which started to bleed, the Arcobalenos were now really confused.

"I-I see Im not considered as his son.... Again.." Tsuna smiled painfully.

"Is your mother perhaps... Nana?" Luce asked as her eyes lightened.

Tsuna nods slowly once again as his facial expression looked extremely more hurt.

"Nana's your mother?! But why do you look so... Pained?" Luce tilted her head to the side, her Mushroom hat never falling off her dark teal blue in nature hair.

"Its nothing to be concerned about.." Tsuna smiled a bit crookedly.

"Oh, look at the time.." Tsuna looked at his watch.

"Uwah! Its 12?! It seems like I wont be able to come with you..." Tsuna frowned.

"Oh, and you're looking for the hacker Sky27 right?" Tsuna asked with a grin.

Reborn raised a brow, "Why, do you anything about him?"

"Oh, yeah I do. He told me that he was breaking right now and he's quite young despite his career."

"How do you know about this?" Verde and Fon chorussed.

"Hm? I don't know, I know him better than anyone else.."

"How come?" Lal Mirch didn't like this brat, he was too mysterious.

Suddenly, a box appeared in Tsuna's hands as he smirked evilly.

"Well Duh, cuz I know myself better than anyone else. Still don't get it? Sky27, he's standing in front of you."

The Arcobaleno's eyes widened but before they could take action, a large amount of mist and Sky flames burst out from Tsuna.

"W-What the..?" Skull stuttered as a large amount of Sky flames consumed them all.

"Forget." Tsuna chanted.

"Forget about the sky. That will always be pushed away, because this sky was never orange to begin with. But was instead always... Black."

The Arcobaleno blacked out and Tsuna held out a box that floated then shined.

It then was cast on seven of them, Lal Mirch was too far to be reached.

The Arcobalenos suddenly turned into infants, except for Luce, and different colored pacifiers were attached on their necks.

"Well then, thats was easy.."
