OOOOOooooooOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOoooooOOOooooo
A young boy with dark blue hair and silver-blue eyes stared at the group of weird people beside the bridge with a sense of nostalgia and sadness. A single tear ran down his face as he watched the teen side of the group working together to make what seems to be mochi. Even when they had all ran away from a suspiciously poisonous mochi, the boy still sat there quietly.
He shivered at the cold air. It was to be expected, because the boy's clothing was very light. Only a pair of tattered jeans, a white and blue t-shirt and a pair of grey sport shoes. The only thing that differ from his ruffled appearance was the beautiful crafted ring worn around his neck. A single colourless gem embedded in the middle of the silver ring surrounded by small round gems that follows the colour of the rainbow. It was a truly gorgeous piece, an odd sight along with the boy.
Overall, his appearance screamed for a compassionate person to care.
And someone did hear his plea as a woman with short brown hair a kind brown eyes tapped on his shoulder, giving him a kind smile when she noticed she got his attention.
"What are you doing here all alone?" She asked kindly, crouching down to his eye level.
The boy stared at the woman with eyes that told many suffering and loneliness. The woman thought the boy wouldn't answer her, which is expected. If her speculation was right, then the boy was either abused, a run away, homeless, or very poor. But considering his lack of injuries even with the short sleeves and the very expensive looking ring, then she highly doubted that he was abused or poor. The ring could've been stolen but she gave him the benefit of doubt. Afterall, the way he held the ring within his hands showed how precious it was to him. It could be that he was afraid of being caught but his eyes showed otherwise. But it's still a possibility but her money is on the boy being homeless for now.
She was snapped out of her musing when she heard his soft voice. So delicate and sad that she had to stomp the urge to embrace him. It wouldn't be good to scare him. He seems very skittish right now. For some reason the boy reminded her of her Tsu-kun. But then the words he spoke finally registered within her mind. "Eh?"
Suddenly, she was tackled to the ground with her arms warped around the young boy instinctively. Her grocery scattered all over the pavement but that was pushed to the back of her mind. There was something more important then that.
The boy within her arms sobbed pitifully but the tears didn't fall.
She let the boy hugged her until he calms down while she rubbed his back and whispered reassuring words to his young ears. When he finally stopped, he quickly let go of her and apologize repeatedly, not even meeting her eyes.
She frowned, the child shouldn't apologize for his emotions. He didn't even wet her clothes. She got closer to him and embrace him again, this time in a more comfortable position. She patted his head gently. "It's alright, it's alright. Mama is here, I'm not mad."
Another sobbed escaped his lips. "I'm sorry, mama."
She hushed him gently again before bringing him to stand up, not letting go of his hand. She knew from her motherly instinct that the small warmth from her hand would comfort him, so she held his tiny hand in her's. So small, she thought absently.
She moved to pick up her grocery while the boy dutifully followed her like a little duckling. He also helped her along the way. When they finished, she declared. "Come, let's get some food in your tummy. You are so thin right now."
The boy didn't protest, only following her quietly. Not once did he let go of her hand when they walked to the woman's house.
There was a pleasant atmosphere around them. Most would've thought it would be awkward, but instead to the woman and the boy, it was peaceful. Like nothing mattered to them except for their little bubble.
"Ne... What's your name little one?" The woman asked in a gentle tone, swinging their hands a little. "My name is Sawada Nana, but you can call me mama, what's yours?" She glance down at him, her eyes imploring him to answer gently and kindly.
"Ieyu..." He paused. " Minato... Yuki..." He slowly finished.
Nana noticed the sudden hesitation and the slight change but she pushed it to the back of her mind for later. Instead, she happily replied. "It's nice to meet you, Yuki-chan!"
At first she thought he was going to cry tearlessly again, instead his lips turned into the sweetest smile (Which can even compete with her Tsu-kun's) she had ever seen. It was small but it was still there. "You too, mama." He replied.
She squealed in happiness which made the boy's smile a little wider, if it weren't for her full hands, she would've hugged him's senseless. Such a cute angel. She wondered who would ever leave such an angel alone and with such clothing as well. But it's okay, she'll take care of him (After she got the whole story, of course. Don't want to be seen as a kidnapper afterall). One more wouldn't change a thing. Infact, it'll be livelier. Though the boy does seems like the quiet type unlike Lambo-chan and I-pin-chan but-
"Mama." The boy tugged her hand to catch her attention.
She looked his way as he pointed to the building infront of him. Her eyes followed his finger and when she saw what he was pointing at, she let out a chuckle. Her kids are so lively. "Ah, yes, we're home Yuki-kun." She guide him to the front door, ignoring the crashing sounds from within the house. Once she entered her house, she noticed the shoes scattering around entrance and made a mental note to prepare a lot of food.
"Home..." Yuki muttered softly, looking at the house sceptically.
She turned a smile at him. "Yup! You are welcome to stay if you want!"
"I can stay?" He tilted his head cutely, making Nana squealed on the inside.
"Of course," She replied gently while crouching down. "If that is what you want... Do you have someone taking care of you?" The boy shook his head, looking very sad. Oh how she wished to wiped that expression off his face. "Then you are welcome to stay here for as long as you want."
"Burden..."
Hearing such a word from a young child made her flick her finger to his forehead. He yelped softly, silver eyes finally met brown ones. "Don't you say such things," She scolded him. She then pointed to the entrance of the living room. "If they are not a burden to me than you will never be one."
The boy blinked at her in awe before letting out a small chuckle. "Okay..." He finally answered which made her beamed at him.
"Alright! Let's go inside and greet everyone! I have to start preparing for the new years dinner afterall!" She walked into the living room, freezing all actions within the house.
Yuki peeked his head in first and couldn't help but to close his mouth with his hand at the amusing sight before him.
A teen with fluffy brown hair was pulling at a toddler with a sumo style costume from... Well, his brown hair. Another teen with silver hair was crouching down with dynamites in his hands, while another boy with silver hair was pinning the other boy on the shoulders. Another boy with black hair was leaning against a baseball bat while watching the two silver haired teens' antics.
In another area, a group of girls were in the kitchen. The girl with orange and dark brown hair was watching a woman with long pink hair making something that emits a purple miasma. Both girls looked suspiciouly ignorant at the poisonous display before them.
Two kids wearing a red Chinese-like clothing and a cow suit was playing frogs? Yuki had no idea, but it was funny. The little boy seems to be struggling with the little girl's weight on his afro hair.
Lastly was the group of men in black cleaning the broken window while a young man was looking guilty at the side.
All in all, everything within the house gave Yuki a nastolgic feeling. But it also made him shed tears at sight but he held it back.
Everyone turned to look at the mother of the house. She had a smile on her face, making everyone believe that she was oblivious to the chaos in the house. But in truth, she was just ignoring it. She was just happy that everyone was having fun.
"I'm home, everyone!" She glance at the young man with blond hair. "Ah, Dino-kun, welcome! Are you spending dinner here?"
The young man scratched his neck embarrassingly. "Ah, if you don't mind Mrs. Sawada."
"No, no. I don't mind. Are your friends staying over too?" She looked at the men in black suit surrounding the young man.
"Them? Ah, no. Well, except for Romania but the others are leaving." The men in black suit nodded before they left the house silently as one.
"Ah, that's a pity."
"Mama," Nana turned to reborn who had spoken to her. He was on top of her son's head. They always made a cute picture in her book. "Who is that boy?" He said, referring to the boy who had hidden behind the woman's legs when the men were leaving the house.
"Ara, how forgetful of me," She turned to push Yuki to the front to introduce him to everyone. "Everyone, meet Minato Yuki. He is the new resident of Sawada household."
There was pregnant silence in the air before it was broken by a loud shriek. "What?! Another one!" Tsuna got hit in the face for that comment by Reborn.
"Dame-Tsuna, don't be rude."
Tsuna looked at the boy before his face turned shameful. "Sorry…" He quickly try to appease the situation. "Um...can I call you Yuki-kun?" The boy nodded. Tsuna smiled before he walked towards his mother and the hidden boy. He crouched down to have a better look, he immediately saw the tatter clothing but didn't mention it. With his smile in place, he asked. "How old are you, Yuki-kun?"
"10…"
"I see...Do you want to stay with us?"
Yuki blinked up at the older boy, his silver eyes stared straight at him. Tsuna felt like he was being judged, like the time when Reborn suddenly went quiet. Tsuna shivered at the thought but he kept the smile on his face. He was rewarded with a nod by the boy and a tiny smile that only Tsuna can see.
Nana saw that whatever conversation her two boys were having was over, so she interrupted the group. For some reason, everyone had stayed silent when Tsuna was conversing with Yuki, she wondered why. "Great! Now let's get cooking! Dinner doesn't cook itself afterall."
"Ah, let me help you Sawada-san!" Exclaimed the girl with the dark brown hair in a ponytail.
"That's a great idea, Haru-chan," Said the girl with orange hair. "Then I want to help too."
"I'll help as well." The woman with pink hair said, already rummaging through the fridge.
"Thank you, Kyoko-chan, Haru-chan, Bianchi-san!" She then turned to her son. "Tsu-kun, can you please take care of Yuki-chan while I cook?"
Tsuna nodded instantly before he realize what he had signed up for. He glance nervously at Reborn who was staring at the child quietly before taking the little hand his mother offered to him.
Nana went into the kitchen with the girls, while the male population stared at the child awkwardly. Not knowing what to do.
It was a good thing Reborn was there. "Well, what are you guys waiting for? Introduce yourself to our new family member."
"Wait, what?!" Tsuna exclaimed. "Family?! Reborn! You're not thinking of-"
"Hello! My name is Yamamoto Takeshi! I like baseball, it's nice to meet you Yuki-kun!" The black haired boy with the bat and a very cheery smile on his face said.
"Whoa! Your clothes are extremely tatters however that can be fixed! My name is Sasagawa Ryohei! You should eat more, you are extremely thin! You have to eat to be strong-"
The short silver haired teen was cut off by a punch to the jaws. "Shut up you insensitive fool! Can't you see you are scaring the kid!" He turned to the child who was staring at them with an aloof expression. "Sorry about the big idiot," He grunted. "The names Gokudera Hayato. Mama brought you here so you must be trustworthy," He suddenly changed his posture. "However, if you hurt them then I will personally-"
A hand suddenly slapped his mouth closed, cutting the teen's words. "Gokudera-kun! What are you saying?!" Exclaimed Tsuna, looking very flustered by his friend's action towards a child.
"Wrfning hib to noh hurh youh!"
An arm drape over the silver haired teen's shoulder. "Ma, Ma Hayato. He's just a kid. No need to be so serious." Yamamoto laughed lightly, lightening the mood.
"Don caff me Hayatho!"
Tsuna let Gokudera go when he noticed that his friend won't make anymore threats.
"Well ignore them!" An upbeat voice interrupted the teens. "My name is Dino. It's nice to meet you, Yuki-kun." He held out his hand to shake the boy in greeting.
At first Yuki was hesitant to take the hand but he stomp that hesitation down and grabbed the hand gently. His eyes widened at the warmth he felt. Dino watched the boy with a sad smile when he saw the awe look on the child's face at shaking his hand.
Dino was about to say something else when a weight suddenly dropped on his head. An obnoxious laugh ran into the air. "Hahaha! A new servant for Lambo-san is it? Well, it's nice to meet you too Yuki. From now on you can call me Lambo-sama!" A boy wearing a cow suit exclaimed proudly.
"Cow..." Yuki muttered, making those nearest to him sweat dropped.
"Lambo! Don't be rude!" The girl in red scolded the other boy. She then turned to the lost blue haired boy. "I am I-pin. Hěn gāoxìng jiàn dào nǐ!" She bowed respectfully.
"Wǒ yě hěn gāoxìng jiàn dào nǐ." Yuki replied quietly. But it was heard by I-pin which made her squeal in delight at someone understanding her language.
"Nǐ dǒng wǒ de!"
"Yīdiǎn."
They would have continued if Reborn hadn't interrupted them. "Nice to meet you, Minato. My name is Reborn." The toddler was in front of the boy, holding a gun at point blank at the child's face.
Tsuna shrieked in fear. "What are you doing Reborn?!"
"Nothing." The toddler took back his gun, noting the look on the child's face when infront of the firearm. The boy hadn't flinched at all. Not when he suddenly appeared before him, or when he pointed a gun at him. He needs to be watched, Reborn thought. To get the conversation moving, Reborn kicked Tsuna on the head. "Baka-Tsuna, when are you going to introduce yourself?"
Tsuna blinked in confusion when his eyes suddenly widened as he realize that he hadn't given his name yet. "I'm sorry!" He apologize to the boy. "I'm so stupid for not giving you my name yet when you already did yours. My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. You can just call me Tsuna or anything you feel comfortable with." He said nervously with an apologetic smile.
"Nii-chan..."
The voice was so quiet Tsuna let out a small. "Eh?" Thinking that he had misheard him.
"Nii-chan. Onii-chan." The boy looked straight at the older teen's brown eyes. "Can I call you that?" He tilted his head, making everyone internally sigh (except Lambo and Reborn) at his cuteness.
Tsuna instantly melted at the pleading expression. "Sure. You can call me that."
"Thank you." Yuki bowed.
Tsuna waved his hand, flustered at the gesture. "No need to-"
The bell ran, cutting Tsuna from his sentence. Tsuna looked at everyone before his eyes went back to the closed door. They waited for another second before the bell ran again.
"Tsu-kun! Can you get the door!"
That brought Tsuna back to the present. "Ye-yes, mom!" Tsuna rushed to open the door.
He opened the lock and grabbed the doorknob, only to have the door open by itself to reveal a boy with brown hair and round glasses looking up at him with an apologetic smile.
"Sorry to disturb you, but can I stay here for the night? My house is really rowdy right now and I can't handle the noise." The boy apologize.
Tsuna stared at the younger boy in shock. Nana peeked out of the kitchen to see who was her new guest. Her smile turned blinding when she saw who it was. "Rikuo-kun! Happy New Years! Are you here alone?"
"Happy New year to you too, Nana-san! And yes, I'm alone this time. Mother had to entertain our guest back at home." He said, taking off his shoes to enter the house. Tsuna absently moved aside to give the boy space to enter.
"Oh, how unfortunate. Are you staying over?"
"Yup. Sorry to disturb you!"
"No, not at all. Tsu-kun, please close the door. You're letting the cold air in."
Tsuna closed the door, still speechless.
The new arrival looked around at his surrounding, noting the amount of people into he room. "Whoa, did the amount of people just got larger or is it just me?"
"Um, who might you be may I ask?" Dino asked, for some reason the boy gave off a very weird feeling that he couldn't put his fingers on it.
"Hmm? Oh, you're a new face," He bowed. "My name is Nura Rikuo. I'm Tsun-nii's childhood friend. It's nice to meet you..."
"Dino."
"Dino-san." The boy finished. Rikuo's attention suddenly snapped to the dark aura in the room. His brown eyes met silver ones. He stared at them for a few second before taking the initiative to make contact. "Hello, you're a new face too. What's your name?" He asked gently, a kind smile on his face.
"Minato... Yuki." The boy replied, his gaze still not leaving the other boy.
Everyone looked in shock when the blue haired boy suddenly touched Rikuo's cheeks with surprising care. Yuki stared at the face before him with sad eyes. The last time he saw this face, it was covered in beautiful red and a pretty smile. He wondered if he had to see that again.
"Minato-kun?" Rikuo hesitantly asked, not knowing what to do. He couldn't really stop the boy either, because the sad look on his face made Rikuo wanted to observe him as well.
Yuki shook his head and to cover his slip up, he blurted. "Pretty."
Rikuo blinked at the unexpected compliment... "Um, thank you?" He smiled when he saw a soft pink blush on the boy's face. "You are adorable as well, Minato-kun." That made the blush deeper, resulting in the boy hiding behind Tsuna who was watching them with an exasperate amusement.
"Well, how about we all sit down and do the introduction again for Rikuo-kun's sake," Tsuna took Yuki's hand in his, guiding him over to the couch. He stopped for a moment to address Rikuo. "It's nice to see you again, Rikuo-kun."
"You too, Tsun-nii."
OOOOOooooooOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOoooooOOOooooo
TL: So! What do you guys think? Are they OOC? I hope I got their personality right. It's been a long time since I watched or read KHR actually. And I don't even play Persona 3 (I just read alot of its fanfiction and Wikipedia). This story just came to me ya know.
So I'm sorry for any wrong information. If there's something wrong in the future, please tell me. But remember, this is an AU. Some things are bound to be very different.
Anyway, I'm sure you're wondering why Rikuo is there... (Yes, he's from Nurarihyon) I made a sister story where he and Tsuna is the main character and I'm still not sure whether I should correlate the two story or not.
Rikuo will only be in the story for three or two chapter actually. The reason will be in the next chapter.
BTW, Because of the above, Yokai exist. Until I changed my mind... lol.
So as for Minato's namen, I like both Minato Arisato and Makoto Yuki. And since I like both I'm like what the heck, and combine them both creating Minato Yuki!
Anyway! Please leave a favorite, follow or reviews on your way out!
Comment whether I should continue on the story or not cause I'm still uncertain about it. Because of the updates and what not.
Bye!
