You can't change your bloodline. It's stupid to even try.

Who: Tsuna and you!
What: The nightmares of the next vongola boss...
When: The nightmare plot
Where: The realm of nightmares
Rating: nightmare The first section may and probably will escalate to R (it pretty much starts out at at least T anyway); the other two sections are PG-13.

[From a boy like Tsuna, you wouldn't imagine the nightmares to be as hellish as other resident's were. To some extent, this is true; however, his nightmare does not revolve around petty fears. These nightmares are not littered by events of the past, but are shaped by apprehension for the future. The nightmares have differing situations, but there is one feeling that rings strongly through them all.

Helplessness.]

Helpless | Worthless | Hopeless

Sometimes people have to grow up faster than they ever wanted to. [a little reassuring smile] It doesn't mean it's impossible. In fact, I think because you have the opinion you do, you'd make a great leader.

[not_mafia]

But... leaders are supposed to be strong. Brave. [He hunches a bit.] I'm neither of those things.

[ino]

But you are, Tsuna. If your friend was in danger, you'd step in to defend them, wouldn't you?

[not_mafia]

That's not bravery though... That's just doing what's right.

[SHONEN LOGIC]

[ino]

It is bravery. Not everyone has the guts to do something like that -- they'd rather just run and save themselves.

[not_mafia]

[He hums uncertainly in response.]

[ino]

You care enough about your loved ones to put your life on the line for them. And you don't ask for anything in return. That's exactly the kind of qualities people need in a leader.

[not_mafia]

[A-aw, Ino. He gives her a thankful, hesitant smile in response, like he's not sure he's allowed to accept the compliment.

And then he notices the door in front of them. That little smile disappears almost instantly.

Quietly:] We're here.

[ino]

[she blinks in surprise at his sudden change in expression, looking towards the door]

... ?

[not_mafia]

It's the same door Arya left through.

[Was violently sucked into. Same difference.]

[ino]

She left? [a pause] What, did she just walk right through it?

[not_mafia]

No, it took her.

[His head bows.]

Because... she doesn't belong here. And... neither do you.

[The door opens of its own according, shining a bright light onto the both of them. What do, Ino?]

[ino]

[BE OFFENDED THAT HE SAID THAT, MOSTLY]

What do you mean, I don't belong here?

[not_mafia]

[LMFAO INO.]

It's because this place is.. my heritage.

I'll be trapped here until I accept it. But... it has nothing to do with you, Ino.

That's why you don't belong here.

[Softly.] And it's a good thing, too.

[ino]

If you don't want to be here then escape, Tsuna! [she holds out her hand] Come on, we'll go through together.

[not_mafia]

[That fear from earlier is back in full force. His pupils shrink a bit, and with a shaky breath, he takes a step back, gaze still downward.]

I... I can't.

[ino]

Why?

[not_mafia]

[He looks ashamed.]

I'm not ready.

[ino]

Ready? What? [fff she's just. worried. it seems dangerous here, and she wants to protect him ...]

[not_mafia]

[Hey, is that door starting to pull you in a little, Ino, or is that just you?]

I'm sorry.

[ino]

[it's definitely not her, because she wouldn't leave him voluntarily!]

--Tsuna! [she's moving to grab for his hand]

[not_mafia]

[A small noise when she grabs him. Just like last time...]

Ino, it's okay. ... really.

[But it's really not.]

[ino]

[holding on, even as she's being dragged]

Dammit, Tsuna, don't say that!

[not_mafia]

[Tsuna, on the other hand, doesn't seem to be affected by the suction at all, even as it increases in power.

But it earns a small, sad little smile from him. Because he knows even Ino can do nothing to help his predicament... Still, he's grateful to have such ridiculously stubborn friends.

Softly.]

Goodbye.

[ino]

[tsuna, she is going to punch you so hard later B( but for now, she's just getting sucked into the door. bye ;;]
