Hello dear readers!

I'm firewings27 and this is my very first fanfiction I'm publishing here. I hope that you'll enjoy reading my story. But before you read here is some information you'll might find helpful:

1. I'm a non-native speaker, English is my second language. So please forgive me, if there are grammatical or linguistic errors. I write this story for fun and to train writing in this language (but mostly for fun:)).
So I'll try to do my best, and hope you'll forgive me if there are too many mistakes (you are free to point them out or keep them).

2. I'll do the disclaimer only once for the whole story, so here it is: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, its characters nor the original storyline, it all is owned by Akira Amano. I do own the plot of this story and all characters I've made up! The story is for all people who like to read and enjoy the stories published here.

3. After this is said, here is some information about the story:
-the setting is two years after the Ring Battles.
-the whole future arc and the ones after that didn't happen!
-the characters differ than in the manga/anime 'cause of the two years in between the Ring Battles and story beginning.
-the rating may will raise later on with continue of the story

I'll try to upload at least one chapter every month but due the fact that I'm still in high school it could be difficult. Howsoever I'll manage.

So...this was all I had to say. Then without further delay here comes the prologue.

It was a dark and stormy night. The wind was blowing through the small cracks in the building walls and around the corners, forming a spine-chilling melody. In his bed a figure with caramel brown, gravity defying hair tosses and trashes around. He was plagued with nightmares.

Tsunayoshi Sawada felt like something or rather his friends were missing. What am I doing here? Where are the others? Reborn? Gokudera? Yamamoto..? Ryohei…? Guys…?! He looked around and saw foreign streets. It was dark and…raining? Only now Tsuna realized that he was standing in a heavy downpour… somewhere…without orientation …in the middle of a small intersection between tall, dark buildings. This is not in Namimori , is it? Tsuna glances around but there was no feeling of recognition.

I guess that I have to find someone who can say me where I am. With these thoughts in mind the brunet began walking down one of the dark alleyways. Now and then he stopped to listen to his surroundings. Wasn't there a sound of footsteps following him? Or a faint scream coming of the direction in front of him? Tsuna looked around but couldn't see anything suspicious or familiar looking. It must be my imagination playing tricks on me. He thought. The rain was still pouring and soaked his clothes wet. The brunet shakes his head to dispel his thoughts and began walking again.

It must be something here something I miss, any kind of clue, but what is it? Tsuna walked faster and faster until he broke out into a run. What, what is it that I miss…what?! The further he ran the more he panicked. He ran and at every intersection he let his Hyper Intuition decide which way he should take. Why do these buildings look all the same?! After another turn Tsuna stopped. His breath was ragged and he was panting.

Tired he leaned against a wall to catch his breath and his thoughts. Why am I here? Since I don't remember going here and last thing I remember is going to bed I must be dreaming. Yes that's it, I'm dreaming. The boy came to his conclusion. Then he pinched his arm. But he didn't wake up and his surroundings didn't change. Why does it hurt so much? I think I'm dreaming! Tsuna wonders. If it is a dream it shouldn't.

He sighed and run a hand through his unruly hair. Why is it that such things only happen to me? The brunet asked himself. Fate really must hate me for some reason. He mused. Whatever, I must find a way out of here…out of this dammed maze. Tsuna looked around trying to find a clue, anything that could help him to escape, but he found nothing. With yet another sigh he pushed himself of the wall and began walking again.

After a short period of time he began to notice a slight change. The lasting heavy rain had begun to lighten up and the darkness around him was getting a little bit brighter. Suddenly the boy stood in front of a street lantern in the middle of an intersection. He thought this was strange, because really, who would build something like that in the middle of a road?

Tsuna looked around. He then noticed a small stripe of yellow light coming from the right alleyway. Maybe there was the exit? Cautious he stepped into the right alleyway and towards the stripe of light. It led to a door in one of the buildings walls.

Carefully he pulled the door open and peeked inside. Tsuna stepped further in, and shielded his eyes with his hands. It took a while to adjust his eyes to the light which seems to be coming from a lonely light bulb hanging from the ceiling.

The brunet walked further in and looked around. It was a large room with a high ceiling and gray- brownish walls. It wasn't really clean but no trash where loitering it either. What is this room? It's empty but jet… He couldn't place a finger on it. Suddenly his Hyper Intuition spiked up in warning. There was a small creaking sound and as the boy turned around he saw the door closing. No! He ran towards the door but as he reaches there the door fell, with a final sound, close. Shit! Tsuna cursed, and rattled the door handle. Not giving an inch the brunet send a sharp kick towards the metal but only cursed when is foot connected with the rather solid surface in spite of the external appearance.

Frustrated he turned around and looked for another way out. His intuition still tingled softly in the back of the brunets head. That was the point when he noticed another door in the opposite wall, he must have overlooked before. Great, just great! He murmured under his breath and headed towards the second door.

With every step he did take he noticed that the light dimmed down, until he could barely see his hands before his eyes. Are they trying to stop me? He thought. But then he reaches the door. Slowly Tsuna laid his hand on the door handle and pushed said handle down. He pulled it open.

His blood ran cold at the scene laid out before him and all he could do was screaming.

That was when the brunet woke up. Tsunayoshi found himself in an uncomfortable pose on the ground of his room and a light headache. "Uhhrg…" he grumbled as he sat up. Instantly he was greeted with a hit towards his head by a large green mallet. "Mou, Reborn do you have to do this every morning? I was already awake you know?" the brunet scratches his head as he looked towards his tutor. "Stop complaining Dame-Tsuna and get dressed already or you'll be late for school," replied said tutor and greatest hitman in the world with a smug look on his face.

"What?!" the headache was forgotten. Tsuna looked up the time and hurriedly put on his school uniform. He then grabbed his bag and ran out of his room and down the stairs. "Good Morning, Tsu-kun." greeted his mother as he snatches himself a slice of bread. "Morning, Kaa-san." he mumbled with the bread in his mouth.

As he opened the front door he was greeted by his best friends. "Good morning, Tenth!" Hayato Gokudera bowed in a ninety degree-bow. "Yo, Tsuna!" said Takeshi Yamamoto as he threw his left arm around his friend. "Oi, baseball-idiot, don't be so casual with the Tenth!" Gokudera yelled at the dark haired teen.

These two haven't changed one bit since the beginning! Tsuna thought but greeted back. "I wish you two also a good morning." After that the three hurriedly head towards Namimori-High. He secretly suspected that the two where bragging for fun, at least at the most times.

I hope you like it until now. The first chapter of the story will be published later this month. Reviews are always welcome as long as they are not offending. See you next time!
