OK, just to let you guys know, yes this first chapter is very close to what happens in the manga with my own little twists or changes, but is purely to start the story off. I will be setting in to motion the story between Basil and Tsuna in the next chapter this is just to ease you guys in and ease myself back in to writing fanfiction. :3
Long-Hair is Squalo but of course Tsuna wont know his name...yet xD
How Dolphin met Tuna
The day seemed to be going be going from bad to worse according to Tsuna's idea of bad days. His head on the table groaning at how he got landed with watching over Lambo and I-Pin , but at least Kyoko was there to help him, and her smile always brightened up Tsuna's day. He raised his head and smiled weakly at Kyoko as she placed a drink in front of him and sat beside him. Lambo was tormenting I-Pin once again but quickly stopped when I-Pin kicked him in his face causing Lambo to cry and eat all his octopus balls at once.
Kyoko chuckled to herself watching the two infants and their little games. Tsuna soon regained his composure as he watched Kyoko. He smiled softly and rested his head on his hand. His allowed his mind to wonder thinking of a life with Kyoko after high school, him with a job and her as his wife staying at home with a child of their own. It seemed like such a perfect life.
"Ne, Tsuna-Kun you seem a little lost today. Something on your mind?" Kyoko said smiling softly still as she watches Tsuna stare off into space. Tsuna snapped back to his senses and blinked looking at Kyoko. He fidgeted slightly as he scratched the back of his head chuckling to himself.
"N-Not at all K-Kyoko-Chan… em… just… em…" He looked up towards a building and blinks, seeing smoke coming from the top of it forgetting about what he was going to say to Kyoko. "Kyoko-Chan can you take Lambo and I-Pin back home for me? I need to find Gokudera-Kun and Yamamoto."
Blinking Kyoko agreed and quickly takes the infants away leaving Tsuna staring at smoking building. As soon as Kyoko, I-Pin and Lambo were out of sight, Tsuna quickly starts calling and looking around for Reborn. The smoke on the building became thicker and after about 5 minutes something came shooting from it taking a layer of the smoke with it.
Tsuna heard the explosion and looked around just in time to see that what had exploded from the building, hurdling towards him wasn't a piece of the building but a fully grown person. Realising that it would be a good idea to get out of the way, as its most likely that the person hurdling towards him is going to be dead, Tsuna turned to make a run for it, however it was too late. The body crashed in to his stomach taking him off his feet and sliding across the ground. Out of natural reaction, Tsuna wrapped his arms around the person; mainly because Tsuna was scared he was going to die.
Suddenly, the body starts to move, making funny groaning noises as it wriggles from Tsuna's hold. Tsuna had instantly let go of the body and was groaning on his back, swinging one of his arms over and trying to force himself up off the floor.
The body happened to be that of a teenager just a little older than Tsuna, with mousy blond hair and vivid blue eyes. He stared down at Tsuna, unsure if he just accidentally killed someone by flying in to them. The boy briefly glanced up to see a man with long flowing silver hair and a sword coming out from under his leather coat's left sleeve screaming 'VOIIIIIII!' at the top of his lungs, as he came crashing down to earth in front of the two boys.
Tsuna looked round to see the mousy-blond haired boy staring at the silver haired man and blinked, trying his hardest not to say what he was thinking, yet again more weirdoes… He was too stunned to actually move and it wasn't till the boy that had crashed in to him had stood up, grabbed his wrist and was dragging him around a corner out of the way of danger.
"Finally! I found thee! I'm so sorry Sawada-Dono, he followed me…" The boy said as they skidded in to the building they were hiding behind. All Tsuna could do was stare at him in disbelief. Who was this boy and how did he know his name? Tsuna was about to ask before the boy jumped in front of him and protected Tsuna from being sliced by Long-Hair.
"Ekk!" Was all Tsuna could manage before running back round the building and in to Gokudera and Yamamoto, who had seen the explosion and instantly came running to Tsuna's aid. They watched as the Long-Hair and the boy started having another bout with each other. Metal against metal. The sound was hurting Tsuna's ears as they metal clashed against each other.
Soon the boy was flung in to the building, where the glass shattered around him and cut him deeply, adding to the many wounds the poor boy already had. Long-Hair advanced. His grin almost reached from one ear to the other, clearly enjoying almost killing the boy that he was fighting with. "Tell me boy, are these your friends? How much do they know?"
The boy said nothing as he struggled to sit up but his facial expression still determined to beat Long-Hair. Long-Hair ignored the boy and turned to Tsuna. "VOOOOIIIII! You! How do you know that boy?!" Long-Hair barked, pointing his very sharp, very deadly sword at Tsuna.
All Tsuna could do was stare at it and glance over at the boy still trying to stand up. Before Tsuna could answer Gokudera and Yamamoto had gotten themselves ready to join the fray. Gokudera had his sticks of dynamite in either hand and a cigarette in his mouth. Yamamoto, on the other hand, had transformed his bat in to his trusty sword and had it lay lazily over his shoulders. Gokudera looked furious that someone had dared to point a sword at his Juudiame! Yamamoto just grinned thinking it was nothing more than a game.
"I wouldn't touch him if I was you!" Gokudera barked at Long-Hair itching to throw everything he's got at the man that stood before Tsuna. Laughing Long-Hair turned away from Tsuna slowly and made a dive at the boys engaging them in battle and defeating them easily. Soon Gokudera was lay on the floor practically unable to do anything more than lay at the mercy of Long-Hair's feet.
Before the last blow could hit its target, the boy was in front of Gokudera, protecting him from Long-Hair's deadly blow. But at a cost. The boy was slung back, cutting him deeply across his torso. He landed before Tsuna who was panicking and freaking out over the situation and not knowing what to do. He knelt down before the boy, showing him his fear. The boy gave a smile to encourage Tsuna before his dying will flame went out and showed just how weak the boy was.
At that moment Reborn appeared just in time to shoot Tsuna with the dying-will bullet, forcing Tsuna in to his dying will mode. Soon Tsuna was taking on Long-Hair only to be slung back over and over again by the massive swings of Long-Hair's sword.
Just as Tsuna's 5 minutes where up, there was a loud bang, and smoke suddenly appeared around Tsuna and Long-Hair. Dino and his family had appeared just in time to cause Long-Hair to cause and leave as quickly as he had appeared. Tsuna didn't wait to greet Dino before kneeling before the boy to check he was ok.
"Hey! You ok? What's your name? How do you know mine?" Tsuna begin lifting the boy's head up to his so he can hear the boy's quiet voice.
Smiling the boy handed Tsuna a small brown box, and with his last few breathes he spoke, "I'm Basil… protect these please…"
Basil passed out due to his wounds and Tsuna looked at the box he was given then back to Basil. This boy not only tried to save Tsuna's life but his friends too and he didn't get chance to thank him and question him more about what was going on, and what is with the box. Worrying for Basil's health Tsuna placed the box on to Basil's chest and carefully picks him up.
"Dino-San! We need to get Basil-Kun, Gokudera-Kun and Yamamoto to a hospital," Tsuna said starting to sound a little like a mafia boss. Dino nodded not daring to upset Tsuna who looked as if a close friend had just died. "And Dino-San if Basil comes round please call me straight away there is things I need to ask him."
