Sawada Tsubasa was a lovely child, a bit on the intelligent side to the point that she was able to read and write like a high school student despite being a mere five years old. Her wide amber orbs were always filled with childlike innocence and understanding that one should not see in a child. She was very well-behaved and polite, her manners were something that came naturally to her, something which Nana was both grateful for and proud of. Tsubasa had two brothers, adopted ones, one was named Giotto and the other Tsunayoshi, both were excellent brothers who got along and loved their little sister.
However the day came when both brothers had to go to Italy with their father to train for god knows what. Nana was slightly reluctant to allow her little boys, who were only a few years older than her youngest daughter, to go to a land that is very much different from the country they have been brought up in. She relented when Iemitsu and her little boys assured her one too many times that they would be fine and so, the men of the Sawada household left the land of the rising sun for Italy. That was a fatal mistake Nana would regret a few years down the line.
It's been two years since Iemitsu made his last appearance and Tsubasa just turned seven. Her brothers sent cards and gifts but the little brunette preferred that they come home than send her extravagant presents. She was in the garden, playing quietly as Mama prepares a birthday feast with all her favorite foods. The brunette was hosting a pretend tea party and was engaging in small talk with her stuffed bunny. She was dressed quite prettily in a pink and white lolita outfit with lots of ruffles and lace and a pink ribbon tied into a big bow on her head.
She pretended to sip her 'tea' and giggles as she starts chatting with Mr Snuggles, her teddy bear. She picks up a platter or clay cookies and was about to offer some to her rag doll when a man in a black suit kicked open the back gate and grabbed her. Everything else happened like a blur, she hears the man shout something in italian to his comrades and sees him smirk before he forces her to inhale a drug that made her lose consciousness. Neighbors tried to prevent the kidnappers from escaping but those who interfered were knocked out cold, Nana chased after the kidnappers but saw it was futile when they boarded a vehicle. She continued chasing until she stumbled and fell to the ground sobbing uncontrollably for her little baby girl, one of the neighbours had the good sense to take down the vehicle license plate number, but that proved fruitless.
Iemitsu and his sons came home the day after and stayed for the next two months before their daughter/ sister was found and located, in Italy.
To say that Tsubasa had a ghastly two months was the most severe understatement of the year. The first week, she cried and screamed for her mother, father, brothers anybody to save her from the scary place. She was injected with what she knew was experimental drugs and her back sprouted orange tinted wings when one particular drug entered her system. They had sprouted painfully, the skin tearing and feathers the colour of the sunset she loved watching so much sprouted. The men had been pleased but continued to do further experiments on her. Her dress was stripped from her body and she was placed into a white sleeveless dress.
The second week, they stopped experimenting on her to allow the brunette to adjust to her new appendages. Tsubasa wanted to hate, something, anything but she just could not bring herself to blame anyone for anything, so she just cried and sobbed before the scientists collected her on the third week to continue experimenting on her. The fourth week was harsh, the scientists performed multiple experiments each day and she developed an attack that would leave her breathless and with a body pulsing agonizingly painfully. The fifth week was spent with the scientist creating a cure for her attack and she was left in her cell gasping and writhing in pain.
By the sixth week, Tsubasa was starting to lose hope of ever seeing her precious family ever again. More experiments caused her body to change, one drug allowed her to create pretty flames, dying will flames she heard the scientists say before another needle was inserted and she screamed again. Her voice grew hoarse and the seven year old girl stopped speaking altogether on the seventh week. She no longer screamed but bore with the pain and waited for it to pass like it always does. By the eighth week, Tsubasa changed from the lively and vibrant girl she used to be, to a mute and abused girl.
The scientists were testing out a new theory on the eighth week, they found that she would only respond with music, something they noted down but before they could conduct further research, their base was dug up by Vongola men and they were held prisoner before being marched to Vendicare. Subject 27, Tsubasa, was imprisoned in a crystal cylinder, her wings folded behind her.
Iemitsu gritted his teeth as he approached the cylinder with his sons by his side, on alert, the lid was swung open and Tsubasa's eyes fluttered open. She stepped out from the container and stared at Iemitsu and her brothers. Shock registered in their brains as they saw her lifeless amber eyes, Giotto dropped his gun and ran forward, tears already sliding down his face as he swept the girl into his arms. Tsunayoshi mimicked his brother and cradled Tsubasa's head like she would disappear if she were to let go. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Giotto and Tsunayoshi mumbled like a broken recorder and Iemitsu collapsed on his knees to embrace his children.
Tsubasa's lifeless brown eyes flickered from dull brown to amber and she slowly lifts her hands to grab her brother's shirts. She starts whimpering and finally breaks down, bawling and sobbing as she held onto her brothers and father for dear life.
Tsubasa, Giotto and Tsunayoshi returned to Japan whilst Iemitsu stayed behind to solve a few... problems. Nana had broke down crying and kept hugging the brunette, Tsubasa simply kept silent and she fisted Nana's shirt, her frame trembling as she does her best not to cry. "My baby... oh my poor baby girl... my little Tsubasa... you're home... at last, finally home with Mama." Nana smiles through her tears as she hugs her daughter tighter, ignoring the wings that her little girl had sprouted.
Six years later...
Tsunayoshi and Giotto both eagerly boarded the plane to Namimori, Japan. They had been called back to Italy by the ninth five years back and Iemitsu came home for a brief two weeks before he took his sons back to Italy. The boys have already gathered their guardians and the surprising thing is that their guardians are all related to one another in one way or the other.
Gokudera Hayato and G are cousins, with the former having silver hair and sea foam green eyes and the latter having red hair and red eyes to match. They are constantly bickering and only the Yamamoto brothers could calm them down, Yamamoto Takeshi and Yamamoto Ugetsu were very alike and the only difference between them are their hobbies while Takeshi excelled in sports, specifically baseball, Ugetsu excelled in the arts of music.
Sasagawa Ryohei and Knuckle are also cousins, the former having white hair and greyish black eyes and the latter having black hair and topaz yellow eyes. Both loved expressing themselves with loud volumes but while Ryohei loved to box, Knuckle converted himself into a christian. Bovino Lampo watches with slight amusement as he lazily leans against the back rest of the first class seat, his younger brother Lambo seated right next to him. Hibari Alaude and Kyouya are siblings, Alaude had dirty blonde hair while Kyouya had a mess of black hair. Both brothers have narrowed silver grey eyes.
The strangest phenomenon though was the Rokudo Triplets, with Daemon as the eldest, Mukuro as the second and Chrome as the third, all three have similar hairstyles with Daemon's resembling a melon and the other two resembling a tropical fruit called pineapples. Daemon has navy blue eyes, Mukuro has mismatched eyes with one indigo and the other red with a kanji six in the middle of where the pupil should be and Chrome has violet orbs. Mukuro and Daemon were trying to decide by rock, paper scissors who would be able to sit next to Chrome and in the end, Daemon lost.
Tsunayoshi grins at his brother, an excited gleam in his eyes. "I can't believe we finally get to go home, after five long years! I miss Tsubasa and mama's cooking!" Giotto nods in agreement, he smiles as he watches the clouds fly by. In less than one hour, they would be home and they would be able to see their adorable little sister once more. Giotto growls as he remembers his sister's kidnappers, they are imprisoned in Vendicare for breaking more than one rule and Giotto had personally seen them put behind bars.
Their flight was over very soon and they soon touched down in Japan, Nana was the first to greet them with a big hug. "Oh Gio-kun, Tsu-kun~ Mama has missed you so much!" Nana cooed as she snuggles them both, the twin skies of the Vongola smiled as they enjoy the loving embrace they have missed. After a few more cooing and such the twin skies asked for their sister. "Ah gomene, it seems Tsuba-chan has gone to her football match and is so very distracted by the second round that she forgot about your flight." Nana sweatdrops as both Giotto and Tsunayoshi went into the emo corner whilst Hayato and G both try to coax them out. "Ah, but she did save some tickets to watch her match, would you like to come see?"
Giotto, Tsunayoshi and their guardians gape at the overflowing stadium, the third round was starting and Tsubasa's team, the white angels are playing against another team called illlusions gang. The brunette was not hard to miss seeing as she has a pair of snow white wings tucked neatly behind her back. Tsubasa was dressed in a sports jersey, the T-shirt loose and clinging to her shoulders, the shorts were in the same condition but her socks and shoes are fitted nicely to her attractive legs. Her waist-long auburn hair was pulled into a high ponytail as she jogged her way to her spot as striker.
Giotto and Tsunayoshi could barely recognize her but thanks to the telltale treble clef necklace they had mailed to her three years ago for her birthday, they were able to tell that the brunette was their sister. The game starts and Tsubasa almost immediately disappears from her previous position and kicks the ball out of the possession of the opposing team member and towards one of her own team member. The game continues with the white angels move in synchronised but graceful movements and the illusionist gang in clumsy, jerky blocking. The first half was over and they are tied down to one more goal to win.
Tsubasa received the ball to kick into the goal. She grins as she saw two opposing members approaching her and surprised them by cartwheeling out of the way with the ball expertly held in the crook of her left leg, she uses the ground as leverage before letting the ball go in mid-air and while doing a handstand, kicks the ball into the goalpost.
The whistle blows and the white angels make it into the quarter finals, she laughs with her team players as she high-fives them. "When did Tsubasa-chan get so good with football?" Giotto asks his mother who replies with a knowing smile. He was completely unaware of the blushes evident on both his guardians and his brother's guardians faces.
Tsubasa was ushered into the dressing rooms for the break but before she entered, she spots her mother and brothers. Smiling brightly that they had come to watch her play, she giggles as she waves at them. All males present blushed at the innocent smile and Tsubasa's half-brothers are no exceptions.
"Tsu-chan picked up a lot of hobbies after that... incident." Nana smiled slightly though it was slightly strained. "She attends Namimori boarding school for boys which has been just recently converted into a co-ed school so she feels slightly lonely since she does not really get along with her peers seeing as she is... incapable of speaking." Giotto and Tsnayoshi glance at one another, a plan already forming in their heads.
A brown blur was running towards them as Tsubasa launched herself to glomp her half-brothers. A happy giggle escaped the cute girl's lips as she snuggles both her brothers whom she missed for five years. Giotto and Tsnayoshi smiles at her affectionate ways, she always was more open with her feelings out of the entire Sawada household. She signs something to her brothers. 'Are you staying? For how long?' The two brothers nod at the question, having had sign language drilled into their heads when they found that their sister had turned mute.
"We're staying until we at least attain a high school degree." Tsubasa brightens and claps her hands together like a gleeful child. She turns to Nana and asks. 'Can we go to the arcade? A new game is released today!' Nana smiles at her little girl and pats her head, nodding her approval.
"Oh I forgot to introduce you to our friends!" Tsunayoshi exclaims, he introduces the gang and Tsubasa smiles innocently at them, nodding her head in greeting, her wings added onto her innocent image and the males all had to fight down the blush that threatened to overtake their entire face. 'How can someone be so adorable and still be legal!' They screamed in their minds. Tsubasa oblivious to their inner turmoil simply continues to smile before she leads the way to the arcade.
