Time to attack!
“Tenth . . . you know that I’m-we’re always here for you.” And he shut the door, leaving Tsuna to his moody thoughts.
It was silent for a while then Tsuna sighed. “I know, I know. But that’s the problem,” he whispered, looking out the window once more.
It was completely dark now, but there were enough Christmas lights surrounding the mansion outside for him to still watch the snow. Once he got bored of that Tsuna leaned back in his (extremely) comfy chair and exhaled slowly.
“It would have been better off for them if I had never been born,” Tsuna sighed.
Suddenly, there was a loud POOF! and Tsuna was surrounded by smoke. He coughed and leapt out of his chair, already in Hyper Dying Will Mode, ready to face his attacker. Yet before he knew it, he was face down on the ground with someone sitting on top of him.
“Ciaossu.”
Tsuna froze. That was Reborn’s usual greeting, but-the voice was all wrong. It sounded deeper, like a man’s voice. And the Arcobaleno wasn’t even supposed to be back yet anyway. Tsuna shifted as much as he could to see who was on top on him, then gasped when he realized who it was.
“R-Reborn?”
Or at least it seemed like him. Tsuna had only seen a picture of his tutor in his real form once, and it was hard not to notice the similarities. There was that same neatly pressed suit, the same fedora, the same curled sideburns-everything.
The figure smirked. “Not exactly.” Then he got off Tsuna and stood up, waiting for the thoroughly embarrassed Vongola Boss to pick himself off the floor. Tsuna eyed the newcomer warily, wondering what to do. His intuition told him everything was fine, but he couldn’t help but feel creeped out. Reborn was the source of many nightmares after all. And to see him in an adult form was downright spooky. Tsuna started to wonder if he was in the right holiday.
“What do you mean by that?” Tsuna asked.
The Reborn look-alike smirked in such an eerily reminiscent way of the real Reborn that Tsuna couldn’t stop the shiver that ran down his spine.
“I’m not Reborn, but at the same time I am. I took on this form because it would suit my purpose better,” the figure said.
“And what purpose is that?”
The fake Reborn tilted his fedora and stared Tsuna straight in the eyes.
“I’m your Guardian Angel.”
