Summary: AU, Earth and Meraviglie are two worlds interconnected; only known to a few. And Tsuna, who can travel to the other world, stumbles across a humanoid man with a fedora hat. Full Summary inside
Full Summary: Earth and Meraviglie are two worlds interconnected by an invisible barrier that holds them together and is also used to travel in-between. However, this information is only known to a selected few. The people of Earth with the ability to make pacts, called Capturers, are able to head down to Meraviglie using a manmade portal and there they can make pacts with the residents in the other world, some forceful and others in benefit. Tsuna, having this ability, goes to a special school to learn everything he needs to know about the other world and his abilities, however, after two years of being there, never once has he made a successful pact. For this, he's been ridiculed and teased. But one day, all that changes when he stumbles across a humanoid man with a fedora hat.

A/N: This was left in a review. But for those that don't know 'Chaos' is Reborn's adult and original greeting before it changed to 'Ciaossu' in his baby form. The reason why was that Reborn's baby form could not pronounce 'Chaos' correctly.

Chapter 3
The next couple of days had been harsh for him. His classmates, no, bullies, from before came back to demand what had happened to one of their pacts. The creature that had been bonded with his classmate had died and they were furious about it. They roughed him around until they got a satisfying answer which wasn't much of one but a mutter that something had come by and killed it. The one that had his Assurer slain was pale in color and seemed to have bruises all over his skin. The toll of feeling the death had actually done more to his classmate than originally thought.
During that time, Tsuna ended up becoming the perfect punching bag for three days straight but the pain didn't bother him much anymore. He was used to this sort of thing. Once more he was ridiculed among his class, laughed at, taunted. Ah, it was just another day. It was like a routine to him now. Get up, go to class, get tormented, and go back home. Not much difference from day to day.
He lived on his own in a dorm room. No one wanted to be with him or share a room with him and he was fine with that. The place was big enough to hold maybe two more people and he had plenty of space for himself, not that he used it. Tsuna got an allowance from his family, well, from his older brother, Dino, who always sent more than enough to get by. Dino was the only brother, or well, family member, that actually contacted him, but it wasn't much, just a phone call here and there to make sure that he was alive and not dead in some ditch. Other than that occasional call, he received no other contact and spent his days in silence.
Luckily for Tsuna, his cooking skills were enough to keep him by, hardly ever using the money his brother sent except for his school fees and groceries. There was no need to buy clothes since the school had its own uniform, no need to pay for the electricity or water since it was all provided, the furniture as well. So it just continued to build up. Tsuna bet that he probably had enough to buy his own house but he never bothered to check, it was pointless. And so the days just continued to go by before his eyes.
Eventually, he had to go back to Meraviglie and this time sporting a fractured arm and some bandages around his neck. His bullies had gone a little too far this time, but that wasn't uncommon. His arm was held in a sling, not allowed much movement unless he wanted to make things worse than it already was. As he headed down the hallway towards the room that housed the Cremils, he couldn't help but think that he didn't want to go over to the other world, not like this. If anything happened, how was he supposed to run? He could hardly defend himself before in his present state and now he was even weaker than before.
Tsuna sighed as he watched his professor pressed a couple of keys into a machine. A door that was next to it opened, it was the portal to the other world, and watched as his fellow classmates walked in. He headed over, letting himself get engulfed by the light that was inside. It was so bright that he closed his eyes for a moment only to find himself back in that campsite, that familiar place he was far too used to. People were already spreading out, heading to different areas to explore, many together. As for Tsuna, he was left all alone. No one spared a glance at him, no one bothered to talk to him. He stood there by himself in the middle of the camp.
Sighing, Tsuna made his way out, going towards his usual spot. It was time to wait again. He really wished he could bring something with him. Maybe a book? He snorted at that, wondering how long that would keep his attention. Probably not long.
It only took about thirty minutes to arrive to that open area and he smiled at the beauty it showed. Such a wonderful place it was. There were butterflies fluttering around today, a few had a bright gleam on their wings and some had golden dust falling from their wings. Oh how he wished he had his drawing pad with him. It was the only other thing he was really good at; drawing, his favorite pastime. Watching the butterflies almost swim around in the sky, he walked out to his rock and settled against it to stare. He took note of the little details on the bugs. One butterfly had a face-like wing pattern with two black spots as eyes and some markings in the center for a nose. Another was just pretty colors all glittering with two swallows on each side coming off to follow behind.
He smiled at the sight.
"Back here again I see."
"Hieeeeeee!" Tsuna screamed at that voice, jumping up only to hit his head against the hard surface of the rock. He moaned at the agonizing pain that radiated in his skull and used his good hand to rub the spot tenderly. Wincing, he closed an eye, whimpering quietly. Slowly, he turned around to see who had spoken to him only to recognize the same person from before. Tsuna's honey-colored eyes widened at the sight. That dark suit and fedora was easy to recognize and those dark eyes, he shivered slightly as he found them staring at him directly. "Oh, it's you."
"Chaos." Reborn smirked, leaning against a tree, with his arms folded. He was behind the brunet, standing there as if nothing was wrong. Nothing had changed; he looked exactly the same from a couple of days before, though there was some annoyance in his eyes. Tsuna flinched at that when he recognized it.
Reborn, on the other hand, wasn't really directing that annoyance towards the brunet but at himself. He hadn't expected himself to come back to this place, but his curiosity kept bothering him from within, telling him to come back. It was an annoying feeling, one he had to follow if he wanted to get rid of it. But he couldn't deny that his instincts were many times right and, for some odd reason, he felt as if he needed to come back. Raising an eyebrow at the brunet's wide eyes and clearly surprised face, he chuckled in amusement unable to help himself in teasing to other. "What? Expecting someone else?"
"Ah…" The brunet turned to his hands, breaking eye contact with the other. "I-I thought it was just a onetime thing. Wasn't expecting to see you again."
The older man smirked at that and settled on the other side of the rock, getting himself comfortable, and stretched his legs before him onto the grass. He tilted the fedora downward to hide his eyes and crossed his arms. "Well, I got interested and wanted to know more about your world. I've been to Earth a few times, but never long enough to explore."
Tsuna straightened his back at that and crawled around the rock so that he was next to the man. His honey-colored eyes stared down to see if he could peer into those dark eyes that were generally hidden by the shadow of the fedora but couldn't. It was odd, the person before him looked human, and he was different compared to the other residents of this world. They all looked like creatures out of a storybook but the person before him was normal to a point. "Really? You've been to Earth before? And what would you like to know?"
Reborn raised an eyebrow at that; he was actually going to get answers? He hadn't been expecting that, but looking at the brunet, he could see that hopeful look in Tsuna's eyes. He quickly realized that Tsuna was lonely. Glancing towards the brunet again, he flicked his fedora up to get a better look. He eyed the other carefully, watching for any sudden or strange movements or any signs that the other was lying, but Tsuna just sat there in curiosity, waiting for the question that would slip through his lips. 'Well, might as well go along with it.' Uncrossing his arms, he spoke. "Yes, I've been to Earth before. I can go there freely, though I'll have to use a bit of power to do so. I have to slip through the barrier that separates the worlds. But…it's a pain to do so."
Tsuna just sat and listened, moving his body around to get into a better position. His neck still burned in pain and the bandages were a little itchy, but he ignored it for the other. Then the questions came, they were simple questions, but they were things that could only be known on the other side, like history and technology. Tsuna tried to answer them to the best of his ability due to his limited knowledge, and when he didn't know, he stated so honestly.
Reborn tilted his head for a second, peering over the other carefully while the brunet spoke, and took in the damaged appearance. Tsuna continued to talk, stumbling over words, but was trying his best. 'Bullied again, huh?' Mentally shaking his head, he went back to thinking about his reasons for coming back. He felt as if there was something off with the other. The kid just made him want to drop his guard consistently, he didn't mean to or intend to, but it happened unconsciously. And inside, he knew that Tsuna was practically helpless, literally. As he listened to the brunet continue to talk, his eyes wandered towards the scenery for a few moments before going back.
Before either of them realized, a few good hours passed during their time together. Reborn hadn't comprehended how late it had gotten until he felt a vibration in his pocket. Someone was calling him but decided to ignore it for now for the brunet. Slipping his hand into his vest pocket, he pressed a random button to turn it off, not wanting to bother with it.
They eventually began talking about other topics when they ran out of the previous and Reborn found out quite a bit about the other, like Tsuna enjoyed drawing and cooking and was in a college for those two until he was placed into his current one. Most of it was random things and very few were personal. The older man noted immediately that Tsuna wasn't very comfortable talking about his family, no, it was as if it was taboo to the brunet. From their first meeting, Reborn already knew that the other wore his heart on his sleeve, but at the same time, that same heart had been sealed away, despite how much it wanted to come out. It was probably to harden himself from the insults and whatnot, to prevent himself from getting hurt any further than he already was. But the more the brunet talked, the more that seal seemed to crack and crumble. Reborn realized that for Tsuna, he was probably the only person he had talked to for a long time.
More things he noticed were that Tsuna was constantly shifting slowly closer to him, unintentionally, but he didn't bother to impede the other from doing so, even when they were almost touching. Tsuna continued to talk and answer any and all of Reborn's questions and he didn't mind replying to Tsuna's own. He found it amusing to see those curious sparkles in those large honey-colored eyes, glowing with amazement, eagerly waiting for more.
Time continued to pass and once more they were so deep into their conversion that the day was ending and Tsuna had to leave when that annoying beeping came from that same device from before, a pager Reborn found out. It was obvious that the brunet was reluctant to go and wanted so badly to stay, to keep going. Reborn couldn't help but chuckle at the antics but shoved the other along, knowing that he needed to go. That and he needed to answer that call from earlier, he had almost forgotten about it until the pager went off. Slowly, the younger man left, vanishing into the forest, promising he would be back again soon.
Reborn didn't wave, keeping his hands in his pockets. He didn't mean to come back here really… But still, curiosity was just something that wouldn't leave him alone. Something told him that he should keep meeting the brunet regardless of what his mind kept telling him. Two opposing forces fighting each other, but he didn't see any harm. The brunet was weak, pathetic, useless, and everything else he could think of, and yet here he was, talking to the other as if everything was normal. But he couldn't help tease Tsuna and push him around. The brunet just took it in stride and without care, easily pushing forward to get closer.
Pulling out his phone, he looked at the blinking screen, and paused. Had he really missed eight phone calls and eighteen text messages? Just how in depth was he with the conversation to miss that much? Reborn realized that once more he had dropped his guard without meaning to.
But to make him drop it this much… Reborn glance up to stare into the distance where Tsuna had disappeared to and smirked. Something like this was interesting.
Tsuna blinked, looking around the area from the moment he appeared into the campsite. He had expected Reborn to show up today like usual, close by like he had over the past few days; however, he didn't feel the other's presence anywhere nearby. It didn't start off like that though, for a few weeks he had been startled whenever the other appeared but slowly he began to recognize and distinguish that familiar presence Reborn always had. There was always such a dark aura surrounding the man that seemed to radiate off without care but it never seemed to bother Tsuna. He had found that presence to be quite kind and calming. Still, that probably meant that his gift for Reborn today wasn't going to happen. He had wanted the other to try his food, his homemade one packed neatly into a bento box, and wrapped in a yellow cloth to keep it safe. He had another one, wrapped in orange, which was in his bag that was meant for him. Tsuna had finally found a way to sneak items through the portal without his professors noticing, not that they really looked at him in the first place so he found it quite easily.
Moving through the forest towards his usual spot, he suddenly felt a shift in the air. This made him pause for a moment, feeling goose bumps appearing on his skin, and a shiver ran down his spine. Immediately, he glanced around the dark woods, eyes wide in worry, but saw nothing in the forest, however, that uncomfortable feeling and the ringing sensation in his mind didn't go away. Tsuna felt that…something was terribly wrong. He made a small noise in the back of his throat and tightened his grip on his bag, shifting his feet around to get a better look at all directions. That feeling still didn't go away, no, it had gotten stronger, as if the danger was coming closer to his position.
Then there was another shift, this time worse than before. Soon after, everything had gone silent, no birds chirping, no wind blowing through the trees, and Tsuna could clearly hear the heavy pounding of his heart. Before he realized it, he was running, passing through the trees as quickly as he physically could. And then he heard it, footsteps following right behind. Tsuna squeaked at that, his skin color going pale at the fact he was being followed, and hurried his pace. He needed to get away as soon as possible and hopefully lose the other.
Abruptly the footsteps disappeared and Tsuna slowed his pace to listen better to his surroundings. Indeed they were gone, but he still felt as if the danger was still around, as if something was watching. His instincts were going off like crazy and his body shivered with his breathing ragged and heavy. Looking around in a circle, he couldn't see anything, didn't hear anything. There was nothing around him.
Then another shiver ran down his spine. Slowly, Tsuna looked up into the trees above.
And screamed.
I shall be evil and give a cliff hanger to you all :P
For the ones that have been leaving long review, I LOVE YOU!
