5. Mist Guardians
Tsuna's POV
I stare at the last place I saw Byakuran,
"I'm whose son?! Byakuran?!!" i shouted
I look around the cabin and it was rather a simple interior. I was rather livable and I find it having a rather nice feel, I find Natsu beside me, I pat his head, earning a pur,
"Well, Natsu... This is our home for now,"
After a few days of staying here, I have gotten use to the daily routine inside the house. If you asked about money, it seems that Byakuran keeps a lots under the bed with the note 'For Marshmallow Emergencies'.
I have been to town every now and then and concluded that I was in Italy but in a much older time. The place seemed from an old movie and the people dress differently, I was able to blend in with the help of Byakuran's clothing which fit perfectly by the way. It seems that Byakuran have been coming in and out of this world since he was young. I wear a hat over my head, to keep me from attracting attention,
Some of the vendors have recognized my face and became familiar with me. I often go shopping once supplies becomes insufficient for me and Natsu, but since Byakuran's money can run out. I went out to the market to find a work and I notice that the vegetables were all imported and some even got bruises from the shipment. I decided to buy seeds and start to farm. After 2 months, I have established a profit by selling my vegetables to the vendors. It has provided me and Natsu enough to live on and more even. I slowly pay the money I used from Byakuran's emergency Marshmallow money.
Everything was going smoothly, when suddenly one day,
I was out delivering supplies when I bumped into someone. The vegetables got dirty, I felt my bottom hurt from the impact of the ground. My hat fell down and for a moment I realized that the woman seemed very familiar,
"Tsuna-sama?!" A teenage girl, who looked exactly like Chrome was in front of me, the only difference from the Chrome I knew is that she had longer hair that reached to her waist,
"Huh? Tsuna-sama? What?" I was confused for a moment and then, I realized that I still haven't learned anything of the 'me' from this world. I immediately stood up and helped her,
"Tsuna, are you okay?" Uncle Tom asked, he was one of the old man vendors who orders from me and I treat him as a father figure in this world, since he was nice enough to recommend me to other vendors,
"I'm fine, Uncle Tom... I just got your order on the floor... It if it okay with you... I will deliver again tomorrow so that the vegetables are fresh," I asked,
"It's fine, son... We still have enough to sell... More importantly, do you know this girl?" he asked, I looked at the girl and found her looking still rather shocked,
"Ummm... Excuse me but I am rather confused to why you called me 'Tsuna-sama' a while ago..." I asked trying my best to act natural,
"Yeah, this is just 'Tsuna', young miss... And he is as single as he is," Uncle Tom said jokingly,
"Enough, Uncle Tom... You're scaring her," I said,
"You are Tsuna-sama... How is it that you are here?" She asked her eyes starts to water, her hand on her mouth,
"Oi, Lad... Did you play around this girl's heart? And here I thought you were a gentleman," Uncle Tom,
"I didn't do such a thing... and more importantly, this is the first time meeting her," I said,
"Chrome, what seems to be the fuss?" a voice coming from behind said. It awfully sounded familiar from the pineapple I remember, I turn around to confirm my suspicions. I find myself looking at a rather gentleman-looking Mukuro. God, did you give Mukuro some kind of miracle? He had the same hair length as the Mukuro i know. His expression was the same as Chrome,
"You-" He was about to say something when suddenly, a commotion was heard on the road. It seems that a wagon broke,
"Tsuna, we better check that out," Uncle Tom suggested, I nodded to him and felt relieve for a chance of escape, when we finally were able to see the whole situation, it was quiet complicated. It seemed that a man was getting crushed by the wagon's weight,
"Tsuna, this looks bad!" Uncle Tom said, he was terrified. We ran closer to the wagon,
"Thomas!" a woman shouted,
"Rose? What are you doing here?" Uncle Tom asked the unfamiliar woman,
"Tom?! Please! It's Thomas!" she bagged, Uncle Tom's attention reverted back to the wagon and took a closer look at the man, and then his reaction was filled with panic,
"What's wrong, Uncle?" I asked,
"That's Thomas! That's my brother!" He said before he ran towards him, looking for a way to help, I turn around facing the people looking at the situation,
"We need help here! Please, can any man gather here and help us lift the wagon off of the man!" I shouted, I began to pull my sleeves up, some men came,
"What do we do?" one of them asked,
"Gather around the wagon, and by the count of three, we lift it all together," I commanded,
"Come men, you heard the little guy," one of them shouted, somehow that last words irritated me, but I let it slip,
"The other's will pull the man out of the place as fast as possible," I added, when I suddenly find Uncle Tom wanting to help lift the wagon,
"Uncle Tom, are you really okay? Won't your back ache? Aren't you old to help?" I said,
"Hey, I may be old but I'm strong," he said, I didn't push any further and let him help. The plan was successful and we were able to save Uncle Tom's brother. We immediately brought him inside of
Uncle Tom's store and laid him in a comfortable bed.
"It seems he has a few broken ribs due to the wagon weight,," I said,
"I'll call on a doctor, take care of him, Tsuna... I'll be right back," he said and left the room, I placed my hand on his chest and began lighting a yellow flame to ease his pain, when suddenly,
"Kufufufu... Interesting..." Mukuro came with Chrome by side him,
"It's rude to come in without knocking," I said intently glaring at him,
"Who are you really?" He asked,
"Tsuna... and you two?" I asked back,
"You dare lie?" He said,
"If I'm not Tsuna... then, who am I then?" I asked,
"Where did you learn that?" He asked,
"It's certainly none of your concern, I was only helping him," I said,
"Tsuna-sama..." Chrome suddenly utters,
"I'm back, Tsuna, I've brought a doctor!" Uncle Tom came, suddenly the man woke up moaning,
"Thomas! Be careful, you're still injured," he said rushing to him,
"Uncle Tom, I'll be taking my leave," I said and left the room, but it seems that the two was still following me. They were hiding themselves in an illusion but I can feel their flames, lingering around. When I finally reached the entrance to the woods, I turned around and said,
"Stop following me... It's rude not to knock as well as tailing someone,"
"Impressive... You're more than what you look like," Mukuro suddenly materializes a few meters in front of me. I notice a few men were behind them poorly hidden,,
"I'll be taking my leave," I said before venturing in the woods.
