BEING 27 (KHR Fanfic)

Talking With a Mute

As the beatings finally stopped, Tsuna lay in his own pool of blood, watching his twin leave the room, satisfied.

Painfuly Tsuna got up and looked at the mess. He sighed. This was going to be a pain to clean up. Hoow he wished he could just fight back, and make him stop once and for all.

But then again, pain was something Tsuna was accustomed to. He wasn't a pro murderer at birth, y'know. He trained himself through experience.

However no matter how much pain he can endure, he'd always feel numb and unable to move for a while. Now he was feeling just that. He groaned inwardly and struggled to the wall. He leaned on the wall, sitting on his blood, reaching for something under the table.

A pair of headphones. It was a normal pair, not the headphones he uses in battle, just normal headphones to listen to music.

He put them on and played some music on an MP3. He rested against the wall, and unknowingly fell asleep.

-----------------------------

As he woke up a few minutes later he heard the door downstairs being opened. Reborn and Nana was back. Wincing as he stood up Tsuna closed the door.

Nana was never a problem whenever Tsuna had to deal with Kakeru's aftermath, she'd always ignore the bloodstains like nothing was wrong, but now Reborn was here, and he wasn't like Nana.

He cleaned up the lood on the floor before proceeding to take a bath. When he walked out he spotted Reborn in his room window. He'd never been more relieved he washed the blood first.

"Tsuna." Reborn called. Tsuna stared at him, telling him to go on.

"Tell me about Kakeru."

Tsuna tilted his head to the side before looking away, picking up a notebook.

He was going to do a lot of writing today.

-----------------------------

Tsuna went off to school, Kakeru having gone some time ago. This time Nana was home so he didn't get too much of bullying. But that didn't mean there would be none at school.

As usual his lunch got stolen as he went up to the roof, but this time he was also beat up. He ignored it all and walked up like nothing was wrong.

"Omnivore. You're causing a ruckus. What on earth happened to you?" Tsuna looked over to see HIbari Kyoya. Tsuna sighed, not the least bit intimidated.

He wrote on a piece of paper, Just Kakeru.

-----------------------------

Tsuna went home quite satisfied. This was the first time he'd talked about himself for so long, and to the Namimori prefect to boot. Something's off about him these few days.

He turned on the pc and swifted through his email. He opened one and smirked. printing out the paper and shutting off the laptop, he opened his closet and took out his 27 clothes.

Strapping on his gloves he pulled up his hood. He placed a dummy in his bed and locked the door.

Making sure no one was around, he swung up to the roof from the window and jumped to the tree in which he dug out his mask.

He looked at the moon. It was a beautiful crescent.

He smirked again before whispering to himself,

"27's target tonight will be a civillian."
