Alright, before I start this story, just to let everyone know, I am very new to this! I just joined not too long ago (More like.. Two days ago). Another thing… That many may know is that I did not create Katekyo Hitman Reborn or the characters. I am just making a story with them. Thank you for reading this! I hope you enjoy the story! =) Sorry the first chapter is kind of slow…
Pairing: MukuroxTsuna

Chapter 1: Finding Shelter
Sawada Tsunayoshi checks the list again, making sure he did not forget anything that his mother put down. He looks in the market basket and reviews it with the items on the list. "I don't think I missed anything," Tsuna thinks to himself with a feeling of confidence as he folds the small grocery list and places it in his pocket.
Walking up to the cash register he notices the sky looking darker than when he came in. Tsuna panics in his head, "EEEE! That's not good! Mom warned me that there would be a storm sometime today… I have to hurry!" He puts the groceries on the counter and waits for the store clerk to verify the items. Although, at this point, Tsuna continues to panic, hoping that he will make it to his house before the storm arrives.
"Alright, you're all set, sir," the store clerk replies, but Tsuna has his mind on the storm and does not respond right away.
"Sir?" The clerk waves her hand in front of his face and the brown-haired boy returns from his thoughts, but still panicky.
"Y-YES?!" He yells, looking at the clerk and the clerk jumps in surprise.
She has a look on her face that shows a "What's wrong with you?" expression, but she brushes it off and smiles, "You're all set. Thank you and have a nice day."
Tsuna feels a little embarrassed and he blushes, "Umm… I-I'M SORRY!" He grabs the grocery bags and runs to the exit. He realizes that it did not start raining and he feels relief; until he takes one step out of the store and rain drops fall.
"I have to get home fast!" He yells and runs off, but every step he takes, it seems the rain pours down harder and with more speed.
Thunder begins to clash with lightning as Tsuna runs with fright, "Why now?! Why of all times..NOW?! WAAH!" He runs, but the rain feels like ping pong balls being dropped on him with intense speed and force. The student decides he should go to shelter instead of going home right now.
Tsunayoshi stops on the sidewalk and glances around for a brief moment before he decides where to go. He was unsure if anyone would respond if he decides to knock on a door to see if someone will let him in. Poor Tsuna did not have much time to decide. Although, before he considers knocking on someone's front door, he spots a familiar person. Tsuna looks closer and notices the person is Kyoko, so he calls out to her.
"Hey! Kyoko!" He shouts and runs towards her, but she does not notice and walks into someone's house.
Tsuna rushes over to where Kyoko went and decides: Since Kyoko came here; he can be with someone he knows rather than be with a stranger taking shelter. He keeps on running, not realizing his surroundings are changing.
Once he reaches the house, he looks at how small it is, but it is not that bad. The building looks nice and the color of the house is a dark blue. However, he does not have time to stare at it because of the storm. He opens the door and runs in. Then he shuts the door behind him, not realizing that it was unlocked for him.
First he notices the house looks like a typical living room. A white lamp is perched on a table and there is a telephone next to it. He notices that there is a coat hanger right next to him, by the door. Tsuna realizes something is strange, but there is a hallway right in front of him, with a red carpet leading the way to somewhere. However, a thought interupts him and he realizes the door was unlocked when he came in. He did not notice.
"EH?" He looks at the door knob, not sure why the door is unlocked. Tsuna did not believe his "crush" heard him, but he held a small glimmer of hope in his heart that she did and left it unlocked. Keeping that thought in mind, he locked the door and smiles thinking, "Thanks Kyoko…" He feels relieved until he hears someone behind him, walking.
Tsuna turns around and spots Kyoko walking straight ahead, "Kyoko!" He calls out to her again, but she does not turn around. He starts following her again, but he stays five feet behind her. He continues to walk for ten minutes until she comes to a stop. The brown-haired boy believes she notices him and Tsuna feels guilty about following her and he bows.
"Kyoko, I'm really sorry for following you… You wouldn't respond and I just figured that if I followed you, maybe you'd finally talk." Tsuna thinks that maybe she thought he was a stalker, so after lifting his head once, he bows again, "NO! I'm not a stalker! I'm so sorry, I just ran in here to look for a place to stay out of the rain! I saw you and I thought it'd be better if I stayed with you rather than knock on the door of a stranger and… And…" He feels really nervous now, along with being embarrassed since he figures anyone would consider that stalking. The Namimori High School Student stops bowing, but he keeps his head down, "Umm I'll go as soon as the storm clears. I'm sorry for bothering you."
Kyoko says nothing and smiles, but a strange mist appears. However, Tsuna misses the smile because he feels so ashamed that he should keep his head down. He does not notice the mist because he waits for Kyoko to forgive him.
The mist keeps appearing until the image of Kyoko disappears and a tall man takes her place, with a unique haircut. The man still remains hidden in the mist and only a familiar voice emerges from the figure, "Kufufufufu," he laughs, "I forgive you Sawada Tsunayoshi."
