Chapter 1 : the first of many part 1

Tsuna was the son of Giotto, the boss of the strongest mafia family in Italy. Because of this he is never allowed to leave the Vongola HQ. That is until today, when 5 year old Tsuna had found a way out of the Vongola HQ, with, of course, no one finding out. It's not that Tsuna hated his father, he really loves his father a lot, it's just that he can be too overprotective sometimes (all the time). And Tsuna just had to leave; he had spent his whole life there and the only time he gets to go outside is when he had someone watching him, like a body guard or one of his uncles, at all times. He knows that his father and uncle's only do it for his safety, but he feel's suffocated in this big lonely mansion and has to leave.

Tsuna had just arrived at the village right outside the forest and can't help but feel excited by what he sees. Sure it not as nice as the mansion, but it is his first time outside. He just walks around and stops at almost everything he's never seen before (which is everything). He completely forgets that he should leave before the guards notice he's gone and make his dad worry about him; he gets really paranoid and thinks that another mafia family had kidnapped him.

Trust me, Tsuna once got lost in the mansion and Giotto went on a rampage thinking someone kidnapped him. And before you say something, it's not Tsuna's fault he got lost in a mansion that seems big and confusing if you don't know your way around- which he didn't, being only 4 at the time.

Tsuna was walking by a store when all of a sudden he had a feeling to walk just a little more. After a while he then turn right into an ally and keep walking from there. Out of curiosity Tsuna decided to follow the voice inside his head and see what was there. And just as he was about to walk out the ally he heard sounds of gun fire. He quickly turned his head to where he heard the shots coming from and was surprised by what he saw.

Right in front of his eyes was a little boy that looked just like his uncle G, (just with different colored hair and eyes, that looks like he's around his age, maybe older) being chased by people in black suits. The most surprising thing is that the boy has dynamite in his hand and was throwing it at them.

'Maybe they're from a mafia family?' Tsuna thought.

Something in Tsuna's head was telling him to help or the boy going to get captured. So Tsuna waited until said boy got near and then, right after the boy threw another dynamite, he grabbed his hand and ran to where he was before.

Once Tsuna was sure no one could tell where they were in the crowds of people, he let go of the other boy's hand. "What the h..?" before the boy could finish what he was saying, Tsuna interrupted saying ,"I'm really sorry! It's just when I saw what was happening I had a feeling that I had to help you or something bad was going to happen to you!"

The boy, who was stunned by the outburst of the other, then asked "What do you mean by something bad was going to happen to me?"

"I don't really know what would have happened, I just know it would have been really bad." said Tsuna as he looked at the ground, not sure of what he's saying. It's not his fault that he's not sure, all he knows is that if he didn't save this boy something worse was going to happen to him.

"Thank you for helping me then." The other boy said. When he said that though, his mind was somewhere else. 'I don't know why but something tells me he's not lying to me'. His thoughts were interrupted by the other when he said: "Nice to meet you my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi but you can call me Tsuna."

It took a few seconds for the other to understand what he'd just heard. "Nice to meet you too Tsuna. My name is Gokudera, Hayato." said the boy now identified as Hayato. After Hayato replied Tsuna couldn't help but giggle a little.

"Wh-What's so funny?" said Hayato with a blush on his face.

"Huh? Nothing's funny." Tsuna said with a bright smile on his face. Now Tsuna had completely forgotten about returning to the Vongola HQ.

At The Vongola HQ

"TSUNA! TSUNA! WHERE ARE YOU?" yelled a very worried Giotto.

"Giotto calm down. We'll find him, so don't worry so much. Tsuna will be ok." said an also worried G.

"G! How can I calm down when Tsuna has been missing for 3 hours! What if someone kidnapped him, or or worse, a mafia family found out I have a kid and they kidnapped him and plan to use him to bring down the Vongola!".

Ok now G's pissed and Giotto's going to hear it. "GIOTTO CALM THE FUCK DOWN AND PAY ATTENTION! NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO TSUNA! AND IF ANOTHER MAFIA FAMILY DID KIDNAP TSUNA THEN WE'LL GO DOWN THERE AND KICK THIER FUKING ASSES FOR EVEN THINKING ABOUT DOING ANYTHING TO HIM! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

"Ye-Yes G. I understand." said a very shocked Giotto.

"Good" G said, trying to control his anger.

"Haha Giotto, what did you do to make G so mad?" said Asari with a smile.

"Nothing. I said nothing."

"Sure you did Giotto, I just got mad for no reason then." said a still pissed G.

"An- Anyway did you need me for something Asari?" said Giotto.

"Oh. Almost forgot, we think we know where Tsuna is." said Asari with a smile. Both G and Giotto sweat-dropped.

'Almost forgot he knows where Tsuna was and he says it with a smile' both G and Giotto think. (You think Giotto would be mad but he's not, only because that's just how Asari always is.)

"So where is he?!" said G with Giotto nodding his head in agreement.

"Tsuna is in the village that's at the end of the forest." And with that the three go to the village.

With Tsuna and Hayato

"Haha this is the most fun I've had in days." said a very happy Tsuna. Hayato shakes his head in agreement.

"Tsuna," Tsuna turns his head to look at Hayato.

"Yes?" replied Tsuna.

"I'm sorry, I have to go home soon." said Hayato who looked sad to be leaving Tsuna.

"Oh, ok Hayato ca..." Tsuna was interrupted by someone calling his name.

"TSUNA! WHERE ARE YOU?!"said a voice which he recognized- his uncle G.

"Tsuna?"

Tsuna turned around and looked at Hayato and said "Sorry I've got to go. But promise me that you'll come here tomorrow at this time."

"Ok I'll see you tomorrow." Hayato said. With that, they both said their goodbyes and went their own way.

After Tsuna is back at the Vongola Mansion

"TSUNA! I'm so happy you're ok. I was so worried about you!" said Giotto as he hugged Tsuna to death.

"Papa...can't...breath..." said Tsuna.

"HUH? oh.. I'm so sorry Tsuna, I didn't mean to hurt you," and with that Giotto got all emo and keep hitting himself.

Tsuna sweat-dropped, really his dad is too sensitive, and decided it was time to stop his dad before he hurt himself again. "Papa I'm sorry for leaving the mansion without permission." Giotto stopped and blinked before he remembered that Tsuna left the mansion, but he really can't blame him- He would too if he was stuck in one place and not allowed to leave at all.

"...It's ok Tsuna, you're not in trouble this time, just don't do it again ok."

Tsuna looked a bit surprised at first but said "Yes papa," with a bright smile.

"Ok then. Tsuna it's time to go to bed." Giotto said as he picked up Tsuna.

"Ok papa." said Tsuna. The last thing Tsuna remembered before he fell asleep was thinking 'I can't wait till tomorrow and see Hayato again.'

With Hayato

"Dad...sister...anyone," said Hayato to tell them he's back.

"HAYATO! Welcome back!" yelled Bianchi., Hayato big sister.

"Big sister I'm going to my room." Hayato said as he walked away. Oh how he hated this house and his father. He doesn't have a mother because she died of an incurable illness she had. She was the only person that really cared about him. After she died he grew less and less active with his family.

The last thing he thought of before he fell to sleep was 'I can't wait to see Tsuna tomorrow' and then he fell into a deep slumber.

The next morning with Tsuna

Tsuna woke up with a bad feeling like something bad was going to happen, but not to him, to someone else, and he can't shake it off 'I hope nothing bad happened to Hayato'. After waking up he takes a shower, gets dressed, and goes to the dining hall for breakfast. But his bad feeling just keeps getting stronger and now he's really worried about Hayato.

As Tsuna walked into the dining hall, he was welcomed by his father and uncles. He took his seat next to his father and then everyone started to eat breakfast. At some point during breakfast Tsuna's head started to hurt really bad. The good thing is that he had just finished eating. The bad thing is that Giotto saw Tsuna pale a little and asked Tsuna, "Are you ok Tsuna? Do you feel sick?" Giotto was starting to think that Tsuna got sick because of Tsuna little adventure yesterday.

Tsuna was surprised by what his father asked and didn't know how to answer it. To be honest he felt fine, the only thing that hurts is his head, but he knows that is also not true, so he said what came to his mind first, "I feel fine papa, why do you ask?" He said it with a smile because it was half true.

Giotto just smiled and said, "No reason. By the way Uncle G is going to take care of you today."

'I still feel bad and my head keeps on hurting and getting worse by the minute.' thought Tsuna as he starts nodding his head.

"G, can I talk to you in my office for a minute?" asked Giotto.

"Sure Giotto, I was going to go anyway to ask you something." said G

When they arrive at Giotto's office Giotto sits in his chair and G sits on one of the sofas in the room. Then G asks, "Why am I taking care of Tsuna today?"

"Sorry G but something is bothering Tsuna and I don't think he'll tell me if I ask, so I want you to watch him for me. Take him where he wants, even if it's the village."

"Yes Giotto I'll watch over him for today, but are you sure it's alright to take him out of the mansion?" asked G.

"As long as you're with him, he should be fine." answered Giotto.

With Hayato

Hayato woke up and did what he does every day- take a shower, get dressed, and eat breakfast. After breakfast he went back up to his room to get his things ready for when he goes and sees Tsuna later. Since he wanted to leave one hour before he has to see Tsuna, he decided to read a book to pass the time. Even if he's only five he's very smart, and is already at a high school level. When it was time to get up and start walking out of the house, he was almost done with his book.

Just as he was about half way out the house, he heard a 'BOOM' though out the whole house and after that all he could hear was gun fire. Hayato stopped right there, fear was all he could feel. Before he knew it he felt himself running to his father's office. He had no idea why, but he couldn't stop himself from going. When he reached his father's office door he threw it open and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Right in front of him he saw someone from a different mafia family shoot his father right though the chest. His father's blood got all over him as he fell to the ground crying. "Father...father!" He can't stand up even as he saw the man that shot his father walk closer and closer to him. The only thing that got him to move was his sister's voice saying, "HAYATO! GET UP, WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW." With that he got up and followed his sister.

Once they got close to a room they went in and his sister opened up a secret passageway. Just after she opened it the door opened, showing at least seven people with weapons in hand, ready to attack. Hayato closed his eyes as one of the men with a sword rushed to get him. He waited for the hit but it never came. When he opened his eyes he saw what had happened: his sister took the hit right in the stomach.

Then she said "Haya...to...I'm...so...sor...ry...I coul..den't...pro...tect...you...and...stay...wi.. ith..you...when...you...grow...up...Now...you...ha ...ve...to..lea...ve...Run!" Hayato ran and ran.

Back With Tsuna

"Tsuna! dammit! Tsuna stop running!" said G, 'I'm going to lose him at this rate. How did this happen anyway?'

"Uncle G, " said Tsuna. G looked at Tsuna and said, "Yes Tsuna?"

"Can we go to the village? I promised someone that we'll meet today and play together." said Tsuna, hoping he'll say yes because he still has a bad feeling and it's telling him to go now. G replied saying, "Okay Tsuna, if that's what you want."

"Yeah, let's go now" said Tsuna as he got up from where he was sitting. G followed close behind.

Once they reached the village they went to where Tsuna and Hayato were the day before. "He's late." said Tsuna. G just wanted to meet the boy to see if he's nice to Tsuna. Tsuna started to get really worried- he still had a really bad feeling and Hayato not being here made it worse. "Hayato you better be ok." Tsuna whispered to himself but G heard him and wondered what he meant by it. Then, just like yesterday, something told Tsuna to run and keep running until he saw that Hayato was safe… if not, he will die.

G saw that one second Tsuna had his eyes closed and the next they open. What G saw in them was fear, but from what? Then Tsuna yelled "Hayato..."before he started running.

That's how they got to where they are now.

Then, all of a sudden, Tsuna stopped running. For a second what he saw made him happy: he saw Hayato. Then he looked again, but this time he noticed that he was covered in blood and cuts. He then ran up to Hayato and hugged him tightly.

When Hayato saw Tsuna he thought Tsuna would be scared of him because of the blood. So when Tsuna hugged him, he was surprised. But then Tsuna said, "It's ok Hayato, you don't have to be scared. I'll stay with you, so please, don't you dare run away." After Hayato heard those words he started to cry and couldn't stop.

When Tsuna stopped running G was able to catch up, so when he saw that Tsuna was looking at something, he followed his gaze. When G saw what Tsuna was looking at he was shocked by what he saw: a little boy around Tsuna's age, covered in blood. But the most shocking thing about what he saw was that the boy look almost like him, the hair color and eye color being the only difference they had. Then Tsuna ran up to the boy and yelled "Hayato!" This surprised G even more. Then Tsuna said something to the boy and he started to cry until he fell to sleep.

Tsuna walked over to G and said "Can he stay with us?" G looked at Tsuna and said, "Let take him back to the mansion and have him treaded by Uncle Knuckle, then you can ask Giotto about it". Tsuna looked at G and said "Ok let's go," with a bright smile. G went over to Hayato and picked him up ' This is going to be a long day' thought G as him and Tsuna started walking back to the mansion.
