Yukuefumei no Oozora | Chapter 3
"Kaito, you're up next!" Rin hollered, making sure her voice could be heard from the other side of the door.
The door was immediately swung open and in came said person, eyes wide with the brightest grin. He grabbed the mike and skipped towards the stage, followed by a lot of fan squeals. Probably some fan service was done because he is happy.
Rin quirked an eyebrow at his actions and turned to face the next person that entered the room. Miku, who followed Kaito out, came in like him -A blinding smile plastered on her face.
She inched towards the awkward-looking teal head and pulled her neon strap. "Miku... What happened outside?" Rin then noticed her eyes and nose were slightly red. She does not have a flu earlier... Did she cry? What exactly happened outside?! She thought mentally.
Rin frowned at Miku, trying to pry answers from her. However, the latter merely shook her head and gave her an even brighter smile, stretching from ear to ear. She then poked her forehead and teased, "you're gonna get wrinkles if you keep on frowning."
"But what-"
"There's really nothing wrong! Tsuna's friends are outside. Go greet them!" She replied, her tone higher and preppier than usual. Rin kept her frown, feeling a little unease about her current attitude. She then recalled the weird sound from earlier, which caused Luka to go and get the door but turn away with an emotionless look.
"What about the bang sound from earlier?"
Miku froze in her tracks and the blonde's suspicion grew. The teal head turned around and gave a rather falsely smile. "Hm? What bang sound? There were no such sounds from earlier."
Rin shook her head in disbelief, knowing that she would never get her intended answer. She heaved a loud sigh and decided to follow what Miku asked her to do. She knocked on the door twice and opened it without waiting for any reply. Not that she needed to anyway, Tsuna could always tell if there was someone approaching the door or standing behind it.
She saw a group of people, about five to six, wringing their arms around the poor brunet's neck, grinding their fists into his fluffy brown hair. A purple-haired girl just stood at one side, giggling at the males' antics. Despite that, Tsuna was smiling and laughing. Rin gasped in shock at their rough actions towards her surrogate brother and pulled him behind her, glaring at all of them intensely. "What are you people doing to Tsuna?" She questioned.
Before any of them could answer, Tsuna put his hand up, stopping them from uttering a word. Calmly, he set his hand on her shoulder and smiled warmly at her. His eyes looked at her, noticing the confusion and slight anger towards his friends. He shook his head slowly, puzzling her.
"Rin, these are my friends, best friends. Please don't hold any grudges against them for what you've seen." Tsuna said with pleading eyes. Rin bit her lips and consented.
Just then, the brunet lowered himself and whispered into her ear. "And I have much, much more important things to tell you guys rather than, 'these are my friends'." He backed away from her, joining the big group of people and catching up with what he missed; leaving a Dumbfounded Rin standing there.
As soon as the concert ended, everyone hurried backstage and saw a group of young adults carrying towels and water bottles, their face expressing different emotions. Tsuna, who stood in the centre, beamed at them. "Good job well done!"
-Vongola-
Yamamoto stood at the far end of the room, speaking discreetly into his Bluetooth, reporting everything that has happened. Gokudera was next to him, scribbling down a huge amount of notes and reports just so that Tsuna can be freed for the moment. Hibari stood a bit further from everyone, his natural dislike for crowds setting in.
"EH? WE'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF THE BOSS OF THE VONGOLA CORPORATIONS?" They exclaimed, unable to believe their ears. Their eyes were as wide as saucers and their mouths were left agape. Said boss grinned nervously, scratching the back of his neck as he turned away in embarrassment; even though there is really none. The navy blue head chuckled at their reactions, finding it amusing.
Miku leaned back, hyperventilating slightly as she processed the information. "Oh gosh, I've been taking care of the boss of a mega-company." She twirled her teal locks and started at her feet. "My gosh, does this mean we have kidnapped him?"
Tsuna blinked before shaking his head vigorously. "Ah? No! Miku-chan, I don't even recall at that time! There was no way you would have known either. My face has not been exposed to the public yet." He replied, calming his surrogate sister down while rubbing circles on her back. Rin and Len stared at the group, their eyes sparkling slightly. Luka and Meiko busied themselves with creating snacks for everyone in the kitchen.
"By the way," Kaito interrupted, getting everyone's attention immediately. "How is it that for the past few months, we've been trying to get some of his memories back to no avail but when you came, he retrieved all of his memories immediately?" He left out the part when Tsuna got shot purposely, knowing that the twins do not need to know what exactly happened. Meiko was not told about this either.
Chrome coughed into her fist and began to explain, leaving the Mafia portion out. "The Vongola has been finding new ways to cure Amnesia as quickly as possible because we think that merely looking and experiencing familiar things would help amnesiac people recall things. That was merely one prototype that was invented on a wimp. We really did not want to test it on our boss but it was the most convenient time." Kaito frowned slightly.
"However, that method is extremely dangerous. You could have had him killed." He glowered, recalling the crimson red that pooled around the brunet. The air suddenly grew heavier and Chrome gripped her skirt, knowing that what he said was right. "I'll feedback to the inventors."
Mukuro suddenly began to talk as well, but the content was completely unnecessary, at least to Tsuna. "But this is what you should expect from the-" the latter slapped his palm over the former's mouth, muffling whatever he was about to say next and gave an awkward grin to the others.
"Anyway, we'd like to thank you all for helping me despite not knowing who I really am. Kaito-san, please don't get so worked up. These people are a bit loose in their heads." He whispered the last sentence, hoping that the others would not hear.
However, "TSUNA!" A burst of nervous laughter escaped his lips before he started to run for his life. Even Hibari joined the chase. "I apologise!"
In the midst of the commotion, Luka and Meiko returned with a platter of cookies and a kettle of tea for everyone, though slightly disturbed about the fact that Tsuna was running from his own companions. Lambo immediately grabbed a few cookies and munched on them, commenting on how delicious they were. The others soon followed and reacted the same.
"Anyway, because of your help, the Vongola would be happy to sponsor your next major concerts as thanks. Would you like to accept the offer?" The purple head asked. All the commotions stopped and they stared at her. The next exclamation rang for the day, "EH?"
-1 year later-
Tsuna and Kyoko stood backstage, grinning from ear to ear at the exhilarating performance by the group of six. The digital effects spruced up the whole performance. Including the floating platforms programmed by computers, their concert was brought to a whole new level.
The Vongola has been sponsoring the group for a year already, bringing them around for world tours or philanthropic activities. They went more than "the next major concerts". Sure enough, their schedules were packed full.
Thirty minutes later, everyone was riding in a ridiculously expensive limousine towards a private area. The vehicle was silent. The only noise audible is the snoring from the few and the whispers of the brunet towards his subordinates through the phone.
All of a sudden, the chauffeur turned around and spoke to Tsuna, just before he left the limousine and opened the passenger's door. The brunet gestured to the other to take their time before stepping out, hearing the loud and welcoming greetings first.
Kyoko shook all of them awake one by one and informed them of their arrival. The twins groaned while the others began to adjust themselves, waking up from their nap. "Please don't sleep anymore. We've got dinner ."
"Dessert's Banana shake too."
The two snapped up immediately with wide, hungry, eyes. They hopped out of the limousine in a flash, thumping up to the grand doorsteps and forced the door open.
"Tadaima!"
With smiles, they all replied. "Okaeri!"
