016 - [You Guys Totally Missed Me.]

[tsuntempesta]

[For anyone who might be in the area, it seemed that someone had returned - although missing about ten years. None the less, there was a young Storm Guardian curled up on the couch in apartment number 027. He'd only been there for a few minutes, if even, and it appeared that he was quiet fast asleep. There also appeared to be someone else with him - a particular feline. Unlike the sleeping teen, Uri was very much awake - and very much alert. The smallest of sounds and his fur would stand on end, ears pressing back. Until alerted, however, the feline would remain snuggled close to Gokudera, honestly just glad that he was still alive. . . Though the feline was more concerned for the future Storm Guardian. . . He had no way of telling if he'd returned as well. . . But for now, he would settle for protecting the younger Gokudera.]

[He frowned slightly at Yamamoto's voice, noticing how Uri had stiffed as the Rain Guardian entered. . .Before the feline noticed who it was and settled back down in Gokudera's lap. It was entirely too obvious that something had happened, and he was getting the feeling that Tsuna wasn't very willing to tell him what. He felt oddly hurt by this fact - surely, Tsuna could tell him anything, right? . . .But he wasn't going to push the matter any further. He could probably find out from Yamamoto.]

" . . .'in some form'. . .?" [That was only a slightly odd way of phrasing things.]

...

{He takes a deep breath.}

Your older self was shot and.....{one of the hardest things he's ever had to say} killed. We are glad to have you back, Hayato. You were hopefully the last in the targeting of the family.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[Stares.] " . . Wait. . .what?"

[He seemed completely dumbfounded at the thought. Him? Shot? . . .and what did he mean by. . . ]

" . . . The future me wasn't the only one?"

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

[He couldn't help but flinch at the word 'killed,' clenching his fists momentarily. Frowning a bit, Tsuna took a moment to settle again before answering the next question.]

...Chrome was first, and then Yamamoto a couple days later.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He shot a look to Yamamoto at Tsuna's reaction, clearly not pleased with the fact that he said something that had bothered the Vongola Decimo. . . But said nothing on the issue for now. He frowned deeply.]

". . . But everyone is back now?" [He knew that death was only temporary. . . and the fact that he was here meant his future self was fine now too. . . Right? He assumed so anyways. . .]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

Everyone that died is well. Unless your older self has reprecussions.

{He's really tired and hardly thinking positively at all. No smiles from this Takeshi right now.}

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

[Tsuna, on the other hand, can't help but to try and think positively. He's fairly certain he wouldn't be able to handle the alternative without breaking.]

You came back instead of him, but... I don't think there's any reason he wouldn't come back eventually.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He offered a little encouraging grin, wanting to make the other feel better about the situation somehow.] ". . . I'm sure he's fine. . .I mean, we both share the same body from what I understand. . . So if he wasn't fine, I wouldn't be either, right? . . And besides, he is me. And I know I'd never leave you like that."

[ . . Poor Tsuna really was stuck with him. No way around it. Sorry, Juudaime.]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

[Despite everything that had happened in the past couple of weeks Takeshi couldn't help but laugh at this because it really was true.]

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

[It was a real smile, as much for what was said as the fact the Yamamoto had actually laughed.]

Right, right. Of course you wouldn't. What would I do without my right-hand man, anyway?

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[For once, Yamamoto's laugh didn't even annoy him. Honestly, he felt somewhat relieved to see the other two males laugh and smile like that. andhonestlyTsuna,you'dprobablyliveamuchquieterandlessstressfullife

". . You'd have to rely on Yamamoto. And he'd just laugh all the time and get nothing done." [Despite the statement, it was clear he didn't mean it. His tone even reflected the fact that he was simply joking. He was trying to lighten the atmosphere a little. waitwasn'tthatsortofthingMoto'sjob?]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{Yamamoto blinked and scratched his head. It was so odd to hear TYE Hayato being nice and no he wasn't getting dizzy that soul transfusion for Basil was nothing.}

Very funny, Hay- sorry Gokudera.

{He clutched at his head just a bit before smiling properly again.}

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

Apparently we all are very funny, given how much you laugh. [Tsuna grinned at that, his own tone light as he nudged the Rain Guardian in question. But that movement hadn't been missed, and though Yamamoto seemed to recover quick...]

...What is it? [That frown was back again.]

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[Gokudera had noticed this as well, also frowning as he looked at Yamamoto. He didn't really feel he needed to say anything on the matter, however, as Tsuna had already said something.]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{The last thing Yamamoto wanted to do was pile more worries on and really it wasn't so bad he was just so tired and sore everywhere. He'd rest up and be fine soon.}

It's nothing I'm fine Tsuna.

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

[With these past two weeks in mind, Tsuna could believe it was just the stress of all of it and write it off as such. ...If it wasn't for the feeling he was missing something.]

If you say so... [He sounded unsure with that, but left it. It didn't seem to be serious, at least, and that was good enough for now. The situation could be looked into later.] Maybe you should get some rest yourself?

[rain-chivalry.livejournal.com]

[Had been up for only just a short time, and still kind of dizzy, and still a bit confused what exactly happened. But some of the noises next door caught his attention]

Ah... [Wow, he must've really missed something]

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He was watching Yamamoto in. . .was that. . .concern on the young Storm Guardian's face? The expression quickly faded in a discontented frown. . Before hearing someone else, his attention completely diverted to the newcomer.]

" . . .Basil?"

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

{Takeshi grinned brightly when Basil appeared.}

Ah you're awake. That means it worked! How do you feel?

{ He's trying not to lean heavily against the wall and he would never ignore Tsuna. Basil just distracted his fuzzy mind.}

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

Basil-kun. [He smiled in relief--the last time he had seen Basil, the other wasn't doing well at all. Blinking at Yamamoto's words, Tsuna's attention got redirected to the Rain Guardian again--apparently the feeling he'd missed something had real weight to it.]

What worked?

[rain-chivalry.livejournal.com]

... I-I'm fine. Though.. my head aches a little. [Really, there wasn't much he did remember. Last he could clearly recall was... actually, Yamamoto's death. And doing something with the older Gokudera. Everything after that, just was blurry or in pieces]

[And apparently 'Moto was already back, and Gokudera's younger self was here now too, made one assume that a lot has happened after that]

I... I let Revya-san use my bed. He seemed awfully exhausted... [and that was another thing he wanted to know about]

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[His frown had only deepened at Yamamoto's words, looking from Basil back to the Rain Guardian. He wasn't entirely sure what, but something had happened between the two. There was a look of annoyance on his face at the mention of Revya, and he couldn't help but wonder what the hell he was doing here. He really wasn't too fond of him. He snorted a little, deciding to pet Uri a little more.]

[swingswallow.livejournal.com]

Oh good. Revya did a lot for us it was just a bit too much-- rain...[Takeshi cut off falling a bit more against the wall. His mind just wasn't cooperating anymore. If it was this bad for him how bad must it have been for Basil?]

There was..ah...what worked...the transfusion. {He tried to shake the haze out of his head.} I'm...glad it worked.

[sky-ringed.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you're doing all right, Basil-kun.

[That made little to no sense, but with Yamamoto so worn out, a better explanation would have to wait. Tsuna shook his head a bit, stepping closer and offering Yamamoto a shoulder to lean on, if he needed it.]

Now we just need to get you rested up.

[rain-chivalry.livejournal.com]

.. Yamamoto-dono? [that just raised up more questions. Why was he acting like that, and... a 'transfusion'?]

Are you sure you are all right? [Not like he was doing that well either]
