I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn, or any of that work's characters present here. I only own the story of this fanfic. I also don't own the piece, The Creation.

This work is a two-shot :) There's a note later why I have not been able to update, BUT published this. And tons of thanks to NightmareAx7 for beta-ing this!

In Namimori, there lived a family which might as well be called, 'The Pride of the Town.' Why?

The head of the house, Iemitsu Sawada, is the CEO of a branch company of Vongola International Company, the current largest and most successful business, known as the CEDEF Corporation. So far, he has managed to increase its influence and has started entering other businesses such as the fashion business and fast food businesses. Away from his office, he's an ever-doting father to his two sons and a wonderful husband to his beloved wife.

The mother, Nana Sawada, is an internationally acclaimed actress. She is currently the most desired actress writers want to act in their dramas. She has also reached the level of acting at which she could pretend to cry- even though she is just fooling around- and you'll still feel guilty. Even with her job, she never fails to spend time with her family and would turn down an offer if it clashed with family matters.

The older brother, Ieyasu "Giotto" Sawada, is a certified genius who is still in high school. He has contributed largely to the development of technology with his theories and inventions which were not thought of by most scientists, talented and not. Plus, his charisma practically invites everyone within a 5 kilometre radius, meaning everyone in Namimori since he and his best friends often go wandering around in the not-so-big town, to be his friend. But he is, first and foremost, a bother with his brother complex which he has proudly admitted to having.

And last but not the least... the younger brother.

The younger brother... Well, let's say he's unique. His grades are abysmal, even more so in Physical Education. He's infamous in their school for being the most useless kid, and a crazy one too. He has very few friends and is known to bring the class down. But to his family, he's always their treasure.

And so, the youngest member of the Sawada Family was known to be the flaw of the family... But it seemed that his family knew better.

"Dame-Tsuna! You have another zero! You are already a high school student! How long do you plan on keeping this up?!" Their teacher, Nezu Dohachiro, fumed. Then his face looked like he discovered something new, like he discovered that there was a thing called the Solar System, which was not new. "Oh wait, you don't have to answer that! I know you can't anyway, not with your little brain. Do you even have a brain?" Nezu insulted. (That raaaaaat! Someone bring me a rat killer!)

Their current class was their last class of the day, and since the teacher (rat) hadn't made fun of his oh so favorite student today, he pulled that stunt. Most of the students only liked the teacher because they got to see some unfortunate students get humiliated.

The whole class laughed, except for three; a black-haired male, Yamamoto Takeshi, a brown-haired female, Sasagawa Kyoko, and the subject of the laughter himself, Tsunayoshi Sawada aka "Dame-Tsuna" to most of his peers. The brunette himself had donned a poker face while going to the front to get his paper, then went back to his seat and sat down.

The other two just frowned at the treatment of their friend. The others didn't know of their brunette friend's secret so of course they would think he is useless. 'If only you idiots knew...' The two found themselves thinking, and smirked (which looked quite out of place on the faces of Nami-chuu's idols who are known to be reaaally kind and friendly, honestly) at the continued thought, 'then we would be the ones laughing at your faces.'

Their train of thought stopped when they caught the brunette male staring at them blankly from his seat. They returned an apologetic smile (from a certain boxing captain's sister) and a sheepish rub of his head (from a certain baseball ace). All three of them were sitting in the same row, with a random student at the rightmost seat, Yamamoto Takeshi in the next, another random student, Sasagawa Kyoko, and finally, Sawada Tsunayoshi at the window seat. Thus the brunette male could see what the two were doing.

"Alright, Dame-Tsuna's results aside... Let's move on. Kiyoutaka Akira!" Nezu called. The distribution continued until the last bell rang, signifying the end of the school day. Takeshi, Kyoko and Tsuna stayed outside the school building. They were waiting for their respective brothers who, coincidentally, also liked to hang out with each other. Takeshi was waiting for his brother Asari, Kyoko for her two brothers Ryohei and Knuckle, and Tsuna for his 'beloved' Gio-nii. All of their brothers were in their 3rd year.

Hearing footsteps coming from inside the building and a clearly identifiable squeal of "TSUUUUUU", Tsuna immediately knew who was coming and jumped to the side in time to avoid a tackle that would have sent him and his brother to the ground. The blonde bro-con crashed to the ground but quickly recovered and captured his brother in a bone crushing hug -Tsuna wouldn't be affected, anyway- and immediately started singing praises for his, and I quote, "cute and adorable little brother who most definitely got all the cuteness when it rained upon Earth from the heavens."

G, a red (pink)-haired guy, then came running and was the one to save Tsuna as he grabbed the collar of the blonde from the back and forcefully yanked him away from Tsuna. He then set his blonde best friend into the ground and started scolding him with various shouts of "Stop, you annoying bro-con! Can't you see you're bothering him?!" –Tsuna swore he wasn't, which was ignored– and "You idiot! Start growing up already! I'm not your babysitter!" (Even though he pretty much fills the role.)

Then three more people came out, two jogging and racing to get outside, screaming "EXTREME" at the top of their lungs, while the other one was heartily laughing and running along as well. When they arrived at the entrance of the building, the sight that greeted them was the same as always; a red-haired motherhen scolding a blonde bro-con, whose brother is currently standing there poker-faced and the friends of the brunette near them laughing or just smiling in mirth. Then the day ended well, if you don't count the screams of "My Tuna-fishiiieeeee!Are you mad at daddy?!" from a certain crying doting father as well as the coos of "Aah Mama why is my little brother so cute and adorable?" from a bro-con resounding through the neighborhood every now and then.

Hm? What is this? Oh... Something went wrong. This might take a few days to fix... And I've been using this the past years... Oh well, I'll just use a different one tomorrow.

With the morning sunlight bathing everything in a yellow glow, the day started nice and warm for the Sawada Family. But of course, they wouldn't be Sawadas without their craziness. That's why the mother was currently setting up the table, humming a nice song, ignoring the ruckus going on right above the dining room.

Said ruckus was, naturally, caused by the father of the family. He was banging on the respective room doors of his two sons, the older coming out with dark circles under his eyes. The younger, meanwhile, was fixing things, and came out later. His father happily hugged him as soon as he got out, though. Giotto had already gone down and was asleep in the dining room, his head buried in his arms atop the table. Their mother just shook her head fondly.

"Good morning, Tsuna! Your brother has already gone down. Seems he pulled another all-nighter. He's been doing that more frequently since he started developing his school project machine." His father rambled as they went to the dining room, with the brunette smiling.

Their house was not THAT big, as they didn't have a need for many rooms, except for Iemitsu's office room, Nana's practice room, and the two sons' own laboratory in the basement. Their lab had two underground floors because some of the experiments of the two had a tendency to explode in their faces, so at least it wouldn't cause much damage unlike if it exploded in the upper floors of the house.

"Kaa-san, good morning! Gio-nii, morning!" Tsuna called. His brother immediately woke up at the sound of his brother's voice and reciprocated the greeting, albeit a little too enthusiastic. Nana smiled and called out a "Good morning to you too, Tsu-kun." while watching the two brothers interact, with Giotto whining out "Let's go to school together this time, Tsu." and Tsuna responding with "We do go together to school." and Giotto whining again about "You know I mean with you, the actual you." Tsuna responds with "Eeeh? But I don't want to go! As long as that is there it should be fine right?" cue the puppy eyes. And so, Giotto was defeated and backed off.

Really, these are normal events in the household.

With Nana and Tsuna bidding goodbye to Iemitsu and Giotto, they each went their seperate ways. Iemitsu was picked up by his usual chauffeur; Nana went to her practice room and started reading her script, Giotto went to school along with certain someone's look-a-like, and that certain someone went back to his lab.

When the two students reached their school, they proceeded to their respective classrooms where they were greeted by their friends.

Time passes and class 1-A was having their Physical Education class. "Okay, let's start now!" The teacher exclaimed. "First we'll do some warm-up games, DODGEBALL!" He added happily.

"Pick your groups, form only 3. Afterwards, choose your leader, and then we'll decide the throwers and the dodgers." He instructed. The class immediately started sorting themselves out, friends forming one group and combining it with others to make a larger group. Thus, the groups eventually started forming. Tsuna, Takeshi and Kyoko though weren't in any groups yet. The others knew that Takeshi and Kyoko would only join a group if Tsuna was in that group as well.

Eventually, one group decided to invite them, since the baseball athlete was more than capable of making up for their 'dame' classmate. And thus, the groups were finished and the leaders were selected. The teacher called the leaders to the front to decide what team was gonna dodge the ball first. In the end, the group Tsuna and his friends were in became the dodgers.

And so the game began. The dodgers were in the middle, with the throwers at the back and front, so they had to be especially careful of being hit from the front and the back. The groups assumed that Tsuna would be the first one to be hit, so they all aimed for anyone. One particular student, Osamu Kaneda, decided to do the honours of hitting the brunette, but to his surprise, the boy dodged. He tried again, thinking that the brunette just got lucky, but again, he didn't hit him. And so he tried and tried and tried again until he got fed up after his 25th try and shouted, "How did that happen?! Dame-Tsuna, how did you suddenly become good?!"

The shout gained the attention of others who looked at the fuming Osamu. Tsunayoshi still kept his usual poker face on but his two friends had smirks emerge on their faces, eyes shining with delight, as they continued dodging balls. They had already anticipated this, ever since they started the game because they had noticed in the morning that this 'Tsuna' was different from the usual one.

One boy, curious to see if it was true, tried hitting the male, only to see the ball being dodged. Surprised, he tried again, and again and again. But the result was the same as Osamu's. The others were astonished too. Soon, all of them aimed for the brunette, with the others getting hit because of Tsuna dodging. Eventually, Takeshi and Kyoko got hit as well and Tsuna was the last one dodging balls. Every single thrower was aiming for him but they couldn't land a single one. Then all of the brunette's teammates started cheering for him, initiated by Kyoko.

In the end, since the teacher saw the students enjoying the warm-up game, he just let them continue playing. The game was abruptly stopped by the ringing of the bell. So the students left, drenched in sweat from the effort of attempting to hit Tsuna which failed. So they all changed and went back to their classroom, stares and whispers going towards the brunette's direction. Before the teacher entered, two students, a boy and a girl, sat in front of the brown-haired boy. "Hey! Dame-Tsuna that was awesome! Oh wait, I guess you're not so dame anymore huh? Is it alright if I just call you Sawada? Anyway, great game earlier!" the boy finished with a grin. Tsuna just nodded with a poker face, signifying that it was alright. The girl then tapped Tsuna's shoulder. "In case you still don't know our names, I'm Yukinari Kazane and he is Kazama. We're twins. Let's be friends from now on!" she ended with a smile towards Tsuna.

The teacher entered the room shortly, so Tsuna's newly-made friends went back to their seats. Tsuna's friends smiled at the conversation between their dear friend and the Yukinari twins.

And soon, the day ended with the usual craziness revolving around the Sawada family, but this time, there was an added shout from Iemitsu for Giotto to "Go to SLEEP! You'll need it tomorrow!"

Let's see... It's still wrong... I'll just send this one again the- Ouch! It overheated... Probably because of that game... Sigh... I'll just use a different one again.

The day of class 1-A starts again with our most favorite teacher (rat!), Nezu. Right now, their current topic is everything about the periodical table- quantum numbers, electron configuration, etc. etc. Our favorite Sawada, meanwhile, was just staring at the clouds outside with his usual poker face.

Nezu noticed and got mad, 'that brat is just a dame, and he has the guts to not listen to an elite such as myself?!' "Dame-Tsuna! Answer question #15!" The question was about the trends of the periodic table.

Tsuna jolted, and looked at Nezu then down to the questionaire, then back at Nezu again. Nezu was about to insult him when the brunette answered, "There are currently 7 trends; Electronegativity, Atomic Radius, Electron Affinity, Metallic Character, Non-Metallic Character, Ionization Energy, and Overall Reactivity." Nezu was utterly speechless. His dame student managed to answer that! Deciding to push on until he was able to humiliate him, he continued questioning the brunette. "N-next, answer the question #17." "The four Quantum Numbers are the Principal quantum number (n), Azimuthal quantum number (ℓ), Magnetic quantum number (m), Spin quantum number (s)." the brunette answered. Nezu was dumbfounded. But he refused to lose, not to that 'Dame-Tsuna'! (It wasn't even a competition... -.-)

"Question #27!""Electron Configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals." "#29!" "Sublevel Notation, Bohr's Notation, Orbital Notation, and Noble Gas Notation." "#30!" "Hund's Rule, Pauli-Exclusion and Aufbau Principle." The teacher and Tsuna continued their unintentional Q&A while most of the class were staring at Tsuna with wide eyes. Takeshi and Kyoko, meanwhile, were smirking at their classmates. It was natural for their friend to be able to answer that, even if it hasn't been taught to them yet. Yup, it was perfectly natural. And thus, the teacher and the brunette continued until the bell rang.

Their next few classes were cut, because apparently, their principal decided that giving a speech in the middle of the year was a good idea. (It's not. It's annoying.) The program continued until it was time to go home. The Sawada siblings said goodbye to their friends and went home.

A feast greeted them at home, because their father's company's entry into the fashion industry was a success. And the night passed happily.

Ah. It's still wrong? What? Which should I use tomorrow? That one is still in the cool down process... I'll just use this again then. Wait... It's out of power?! I'll have to use one of the last four then... Which one...

The morning of the students at Namimori High School was pretty much lax, as there was an ongoing event for each level. The third years were going to have a drama. The second years would have to perform school plays. The first years had a speech choir. Hence, all of them were cooped up in their classrooms.

In the class of 3-A, a blonde bro-con was approached by Mochida Kensuke. "Yo Sawada! Are the rumours true? They said that a genius like you has an extremely dame younger brother." he asked, genuinely curious. Mochida and Giotto had bad first impressions of each other when they first met.

Mochida had seen Giotto spying at the pool and because of the shock, dropped the books he was holding, and a bad photograph slipped out from one of the books. They tried explaining their individual circumstances but ended up twisting each other's words. Mochida accused Giotto of spying on the girls and Giotto shouted that he was bringing those kinds of photographs in return. That was bad, right? Yes, that was bad.

Good thing they managed to clear it up and explained to each other that it was a misunderstanding. Giotto was indeed spying, but on his little brother and Mochida understood the situation because it was common knowledge that the blonde was a bro-con. Mochida had been asked by another student to give the books to a teacher, and Giotto understood the situation because Mochida was one of the reliable students in their class.

Giotto looked at the other and shook his head. "That's completely false! My brother is smarter than me, mind you." Mochida arched an eyebrow and asked, "Then why do the rumors say the opposite?" Giotto shrugged his shoulders. "No idea." Mochida then realized one more thing and asked, "And why aren't you defending your brother? Weren't you supposed to take care of him as the older brother?" Giotto answered, "He hardly needs anyone to take care of himself! And as to why I don't 'defend' him," he paused and grinned, "well, we know better after all!" Although he was still curious, Mochida settled for that and went back to his post.

While in the room of 1-A...

The leaders of the class were busy choreographing the piece while the other officers were busy deciding the delivery of the speech itself. The remaining were busy memorizing. Summarization, all of them were busy, except for one Tsunayoshi Sawada. He finished ahead of others so he was currently gazing at the white puffy clouds.

The student from before, Osamu Kaneda noticed this and shouted at the boy, his voice catching the attention of the whole class. "Oi! Dame-Tsuna! Start memorizing! You're stupidly slow so you need all the time you can get! I'm not allowing any delay just because you weren't able to memorize the whole thing!" he shouted to the brown-haired boy who just ignored him, irritating Osamu even further.

He stomped to the brunette's seat and raised him by the collar. "Didn't you hear me? I said start memorizing!" he hissed. Tsuna just looked at him, bored. "I have finished memorizing the piece. Is there something wrong with that?" Tsuna questioned in a monotone voice. Osamu just became more infuriated. "Then why don't you recite it right here and now. We'll have the class as the witness. If you haven't finished memorizing it, you WILL start now and you WILL have to memorize other coming pieces as fast as possible, no questions asked." Osamu challenged. He put Tsuna down, daring him to object. Tsuna sighed, and with another monotone remark of "Fine." he started reciting.

The Creation
James Weldon Johnson

And God stepped out on space,
And he looked around and said:
I'm lonely—
I'll make me a world.

And far as the eye of God could see
Darkness covered everything,
Blacker than a hundred midnights
Down in a cypress swamp.

Then God smiled,
And the light broke,
And the darkness rolled up on one side,
And the light stood shining on the other,
And God said: That's good!

Then God reached out and took the light in his hands,
And God rolled the light around in his hands
Until he made the sun;
And he set that sun a-blazing in the heavens.
And the light that was left from making the sun
God gathered it up in a shining ball
And flung it against the darkness,
Spangling the night with the moon and stars.
Then down between
The darkness and the light
He hurled the world;
And God said: That's good!

Then God himself stepped down—
And the sun was on his right hand,
And the moon was on his left;
The stars were clustered about his head,
And the earth was under his feet.
And God walked, and where he trod
His footsteps hollowed the valleys out
And bulged the mountains up.

Then he stopped and looked and saw
That the earth was hot and barren.
So God stepped over to the edge of the world
And he spat out the seven seas—
He batted his eyes, and the lightning flashed—
He clapped his hands, and the thunders rolled—
And the waters above the earth came down,
The cooling waters came down.

Then the green grass sprouted,
And the little red flowers blossomed,
The pine tree pointed his finger to the sky,
And the oak spread out his arms,
The lakes cuddled down in the hollows of the ground,
And the rivers ran down to the sea;
And God smiled again,
And the rainbow appeared,
And curled itself around his shoulder.

Then God raised his arm and he waved his hand
Over the sea and over the land,
And he said: Bring forth! Bring forth!
And quicker than God could drop his hand,
Fishes and fowls
And beasts and birds
Swam the rivers and the seas,
Roamed the forests and the woods,
And split the air with their wings.
And God said: That's good!

Then God walked around,
And God looked around
On all that he had made.
He looked at his sun,
And he looked at his moon,
And he looked at his little stars;
He looked on his world
With all its living things,
And God said: I'm lonely still.

Then God sat down—
On the side of a hill where he could think;
By a deep, wide river he sat down;
With his head in his hands,
God thought and thought,
Till he thought: I'll make me a man!

Up from the bed of the river
God scooped the clay;
And by the bank of the river
He kneeled him down;
And there the great God Almighty
Who lit the sun and fixed it in the sky,
Who flung the stars to the most far corner of the night,
Who rounded the earth in the middle of his hand;
This great God,
Like a mammy bending over her baby,
Kneeled down in the dust
Toiling over a lump of clay
Till he shaped it in is his own image;

Then into it he blew the breath of life,
And man became a living soul.
Amen. Amen.

The whole place was silent. All of them were looking at the youngest Sawada as if he was an extremely intriguing object. Suddenly, a clap resounded through the room, and soon the whole class were applauding the brunette. Said brunette though, just wore his usual poker face. Many of their classmates started praising Tsuna for his wonderful delivery of the piece.

"I've had enough! Explain, Dame-Tsuna!" Osamu yelled, garnering the attention of everyone in the room, including Tsuna and his friends.
