Chapter I Tsuna

You all probably think that it would be amazing to have powers, or to be the child of the gods of old. To see things that no one else sees, like monsters and creatures so old that most of us in our current Age of civilization have forgotten. Well guess again. It is not that great. You get hurt and… you die. Beings so powerful despise you before you even knew they existed. I guess that you're all wondering who I am exactly, and why I'm saying all of this, so let me explain. My name is Tsunayoshi Noble. Tsuna for short. And I guess that everything began on the day I moved to New York City.

I didn't want to go. Everything I remember was there in Seattle. Both my Mom and I have been in this part of the country since I was six years old. I loved everything about western Washington, from the rain to the emerald green forests. The mountains that surrounded me on practically all sides comforted me with their beauty. Despite the area being really crowded and the traffic being absolutely terrible, I considered it my home.

"Are you done packing yet Tsuna?!" yelled my Mom from the living room.

My mother was an amazing woman. She was kind and loving. No matter how badly I messed up, she always supported and protected me. Her name was Donna Noble. If I could describe her in one word, I would say she was outspoken. She was a very beautiful woman (don't give me that look, I can say if my mother is beautiful, so don't judge). She had brownish red hair that reached her shoulders and her eyes were a shocking green.

She was born in Chiswick, London, England. She lived there until she was twelve, then her parents moved to America. They traveled around the country until they settled in New York, where my mother went to college and refused to lose her accent. She minored in Shakespearean Theatre and majored in Marine Biology, and from there she got a job as a Marine Biologist. After she got her degree, my grandparents passed away of unknown causes. For her first job she was sent to Japan, where she says she met my father. My Mom said that he filled the void in her heart that was created when my grandparents passed away. She says that he knew a lot about sea life, and she fell in love with him. He was said to love me as well, but I don't believe it as he left before I was born.

We lived in New York City until I was a year old. Then Mom was offered a job at the University of Washington as teacher. She really enjoyed it, but she always loved field work. When she was allowed, she took her students out into the Puget Sound and the surrounding areas to study the marine life. She took me along every time. I swear, I spent more time in the water than on land…and I actually felt more at home in the water. There were times when I was younger that I swore I saw girls in the water, but all of the older college kids said that I was making it up.

Then recently, a university in New York (well, Manhattan to be specific) offered my Mom a job that pays her more and has her do official lab and field work. It was offered unexpectedly, but it was good for Mom. She deserved to do what she loved.

"Almost!" I yelled to her.

I looked around my room, seeing how my life fit into five large boxes. What was left of my Transformers figure collection (I sold most of them ages ago and kept the ones I liked the most), my video games and movies, and my trophies were packed up. My Kendo sword was sitting in the corner of my room. My bed and spare blankets were really all that was left out, and the movers would carry it to the moving truck tomorrow.

"Do you at least have your bag packed for the trip?" asked Donna as she walked into his room.

"Yep. I have my PSP and my copy of Birth by Sleep, my IPOD and headphones, and a few days' worth of clothes until we get to New York." I said.

"Good job sweetie. Are you still willing to help me drive to the new apartment?" she asked.

"Of course Mom." I said with a confident smile. "It's not fair for you to drive all the way across the country on your own. Besides, I need to use the license you made me get."

"Okay then. Make sure you finish packing and get to bed early. I'll drive until we need to fill up on gas, then we'll switch." She said.

"Okay Mom. See you in the morning." I said.

"Don't forget to brush your teeth!" said Mom.

"Fine!" I said.

I went to the bathroom and started brushing my teeth. After my teeth were clean, I looked myself over in the mirror. I was half Japanese and half white teenage boy who turned sixteen about a month ago. I was pretty tall, being six foot even with jet black hair. Despite the fact that I never use hair gel, my hair was spiky. It even had its own way of stylizing itself. The front concentrates the spikes on the right side of my head as if windswept, and the back is smoother and flakier. My eyes were bright sea green. After years of taking Kendo and Fencing, and constant swimming, I was very fit and muscular. I was considered very handsome by the girls at my school and by my mother's students, but I never saw why they thought that.

As I lay in bed, I fidgeted with my ring. It was something I had for as long as I could remember. The ring looked like a dragon. Not like the traditional dragons' one sees in King Arthur movies, but like the ones that came from Japan and China. It was more of a serpentine dragon with the toed claws. It's body wrapped around my right ring finger twice. The detail on it was amazing. The scales of the dragon were clearly visible and dark blue in color, like sapphires. The head of the dragon looked like it had gold detailing. Its mouth was open, and in its mouth was a pearl. Whenever I felt worried or scarred, I would touch and fidget the ring, which gave me the feeling that I was always being watched over. Mom said that it was something my father left for me. When I first heard this, I almost threw the ring away, but I never could bring myself to actually do it. After a few minutes, I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

They next day we were off on the road. According to Mom, the movers would be at the apartment before us. I had ADHD, which meant that I had lots of pent up energy and couldn't sit still for long periods of time, as well as not being able to concentrate on one thing. However, when I was driving, I actually thought the world was moving slower. It made driving easier for me. I also noticed the same thing happen when I was in Kendo and Fencing tournaments.

We talked while we drove the car. Mom told me that her friend Sally Blofis nee Jackson called her yesterday while I was at school and is planning to help us unpack with her husband. She went on to say that she had a son my age named Percy, who she said was my best friend when we lived in New York. I told her I didn't remember him, but she said I was really young and that we'll reconnect once we get to know each other. She even said that she has a few pictures of us somewhere in her photo albums. After a couple of days; we finally arrived in Manhattan early on Friday morning.

"Here we are." said my Mom with a smile. I smiled too, because I could tell she was really happy.

"Let's get in the apartment." I said after saving my current file of Birth by Sleep. I was currently about to fight the Xehanort possessed Terra in the Final Episode of the game with the best version of Aqua I could prep. "I really need to stretch my legs."

We got out of the car and walked into the apartment complex. It wasn't new, per say, but it wasn't old. According to Mom, it was recently renovated. When we got into the apartment, which was had nice golden brown walls in the living room; I saw that all of our stuff was there. I looked around and saw my room. It was painted blue and dull gray and had a window that let in a good amount of light. The boxes that had all of my stuff were already in the room as well as my bed.

"Well this is nice" said Mom. I turned around and saw that she was looking around my room. "Once you're all unpacked, I bet it will feel more like home."

"Yea, I guess it will." I said.

"Let's get started then, shall we?" Mom asked.

"Let's." I said.

We started to unpack our stuff. I got my most basic necessities, such as my bed sheets, my PSP charger, my lamp, and fan when there came a knocking on the front door. I heard my Mom open the door and she squealed in excitement. I ran out to the front room and saw that Mom was hugging a woman with warm smile, and long straight brown hair with a few gray strands in it, but, otherwise, she doesn't look old and her eyes are sparkly blue.

"Sally!" said my Mom. "You haven't changed one bit!"

"You haven't either!" said the woman known as Sally Blofis. "I can't believe you're here. It's been too long."

"I know and I'm sorry." Mom said. Then a man that looked thirty-something,' with longish salt-and-pepper hair, and wearing a brown jacket over a black T-shirt came in from behind Mrs. Blofis. He reminded me of a television actor. "Oh Sally, who's this?"

"This is Paul Blofis." Mrs. Blofis said. "My husband."

"Hi, I'm Paul." Mr. Blofis said as he offered his hand. Mom shook it and she was blushing.

"Oh, you're handsome." said Mom. "Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase."

"Venus and Adonis, line 3." Paul stated. "Sally didn't tell me you read Shakespeare."

"Ooo. Smart and handsome." Mom said. "I can see why Sally likes you."

"Ah Mom, please don't flirt with a married man." I begged. The three adults noticed me and Sally came forward.

"Is this handsome young man that cute little Tsunayoshi?" asked Mrs. Blofis. She put her hands on my shoulders and I felt a… motherly energy around her. "You've grown into such a handsome man."

"Uh…umm… thanks?" I said. I didn't know how to react to that and I started to mess with my ring.

"Say Sally?" asked Mom. Mrs. Blofis turned around. "Where is Percy? I would have thought he would have liked to meet Tsuna again."

"Oh he's at school." Mrs. Blofis said. "But he should get off in a few hours."

"Speaking of which," started Mr. Blofis, "What grade are you in Tsuna?"

"What? Oh! Sorry." I said, a bit distracted. "I'm a sophomore."

"Same grade as Percy." Mr. Blofis stated. "That's good. I can help get you enrolled at Goode High School by Monday."

"Really?" Mom asked. "Oh thank you! Thank you!"

"It's no problem." said Paul as he took off his coat. "Now, let's start unpacking."

After unpacking for an hour, Mom and I got really hungry. We ordered three large pizzas for our late lunch. Paul offered to pay, but Mom paid the delivery guy first. When it got closer to three o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Blofis said goodbye to Mom and me.

"It was good meeting you two." said Mr. Blofis. He shook my hand and hugged my Mom.

"We really need to catch up." Mom said as she hugged Mrs. Blofis.

"We really do." said Mrs. Blofis. "How about you and Tsuna come over to dinner tomorrow night? We'll have a really nice dinner."

"So we can dress up?" asked Mom. I groaned because I hated dressing up.

"A fancy dinner… yea we can do that, can't we Paul?" asked Mrs. Blofis. He nodded as he put on his coat. "Okay, how about you come over around five, we eat at six, then we mingle till eight where we can have dessert?"

"That works for us, right Tsuna?" wondered Mom.

"I have no plans." I said with a shrug.

After saying good bye again, Mom and I were left alone for the rest of the night. We had leftover pizza for dinner, and we unpacked until about eight. While Mom unpacked, she had me set up the TV and my Playstation so we could watch Netflix. We both showered and sat on the couch under a blanket and watched a few episodes of Doctor Who. While I showered, Mom went to the local grocery store and got us each a personal container of ice cream- hers was Chocolate Chocolate Nut (Chocolate Ice Cream with Chocolate Coated Almond Clusters), while mine was Mint Nittany (Mint Flavored Ice Cream with Oreo Cookies). We were currently on the season where the Doctor was against a large alien spider queen and his companion was a red head in a wedding dress, which just happened to be named Donna Noble.

"She looks like you, acts like you, and has the same name. What are the odds?" I wondered.

"I don't see it." Mom said with a spoon in her mouth.

"Really?" I asked. "You don't see it?"

"Not in the slightest." Mom said.

"Okay then Mom." I said.

The entirety of the next day consisted of Mom and I filling out enrollment forms that Mr. Blofis brought over that morning. After Mom called the university she now works for she found out that they are paying for my schooling since she is working for them. Every hour or so we would get off the table and rearrange the living room to get away from the boring paperwork. As it got closer to five, we finished the paperwork and took showers to get ready for dinner.

After my shower I got dressed in my room. Mom already chose and ironed my clothes. She picked out a solid black dress shirt with black dress pants and a dark blue hooded jacket. When I stepped out Mom was already in the kitchen waiting for me. She was wearing a red silk blouse, a black skirt, and her emerald necklace that brought out her eyes.

"What d'you think?" Mom asked. "Flapper? Or slapper?"

"Flapper." I said with a smile. "But I think the necklace is a bit too much, don't you?"

"Am I bothered?" Mom asked, doing her Catherine Tate impression (which in all honesty was spot on.)

"Mom please don't start-" I started.

"Am I bothered?" Mom asked again.

"No you're not." I said with exasperation. "You look lovely. Let's go."

With her hooking her arm with mine, we left and went to Mrs. Blofis's house (well, it's an apartment). It turns out that the Blofis's lived only two blocks away from us and they lived on the third floor. We were rung in and when we got to the door Paul greeted us. He took my jacket and hung it up. Mom handed him the enrollment forms and he said he'll take them to the school tomorrow.

"Yay, a new school." I said under my breath. "This ought to be fun."

"Donna! Tsuna!" said Mrs. Blofis, who was wearing a blue Sunday dress that had white lace. "How are you?!"

"We're good." Mom said. "We got a lot of our stuff unpacked after you and Paul left, and we had to fill out paperwork for Tsuna's schooling today. Apparently, since I'm working for the university Tsuna goes to school for free!"

"Really? That's great!" Mrs. Blofis said. Then she realized something. "Percy, come out here and meet the Nobles."

Out came a teenager that appeared my age. He was fairly tall with jet black and bright sea green eyes. I could tell that he was very fit and muscular. He was wearing a dark green dress shirt with a blue tie and looked really uncomfortable. For a second, I thought I saw my reflection, because he looked sort of like me.

"Percy, these are the Nobles." said Mrs. Blofis. "This is Donna-"

"Nice to see you again Percy." Mom said. "You have grown into such a handsome young man since I last saw you."

"Thanks." Percy said with a blush forming on his face.

"And this is Tsuna." said Mrs. Blofis. "The two of you used to play together when you were younger."

"Nice to meet you…again, I guess." I said as I offered him my hand. He took it and we shook.

"You too." He said with a nervous smile.

After that, it started to feel awkward. It was kind of hard to explain, but Percy had this aura around him that just screamed troubled teen. But there was something else about Percy that felt weird, but also somewhat comforting. I couldn't place where, but I swore I saw the look in Percy's eyes before.

"Percy," started Mrs. Blofis, "Show Tsuna your room. Donna, Paul, and I need to talk."

"Okay Mom." Percy said. "Come on dude."

I followed Percy to his room. He led me in and I was bombarded with blue. Blue everywhere. Blue walls, blue carpet, blue curtains, and blue bed sheets. One side of the room held a dresser. The other had Percy's bed and a night stand. He had a few shelves hung up on the wall that had a few pictures. On Percy's walls were posters of fish, a black Pegasus and a drawing of a man that looked like he was half fish and was holding a three pronged spear while riding a wave.

"Who's this?" I asked.

"That's Poseidon." Percy said proudly. "God of the Sea."

"From Greece, right?" I asked.

"Yea." He said.

"You're really into Greek Mythology, aren't you?" I wondered.

"Why d'you say that?" he asked.

"Well, there's a poster of a Pegasus and Poseidon hanging on your wall. You have a small book about the myths, even though it looks like it's barely been opened. And then there's-" I explained.

"Okay I get it. You think I'm weird." said Percy, a little hurt.

"Not really. I think it's pretty cool." I said, trying to make him feel better.

"Really?" he asked

"Yea. I always wanted to learn more about the Greek Gods, but I have a really hard time reading." I said.

"Why is that?" Percy wondered.

"Oh, I have Dyslexia. The words seem to jump of the page and rearrange themselves." I said, feeling a bit more relaxed around Percy.

"You have Dyslexia?" He asked with his eyes wide.

"Yea, since I was born. I was even diagnosed with ADHD when I was younger." I stated.

"You're kidding?!" Percy was bewildered.

"I'm telling the truth." I said.

"I have Dyslexia and ADHD too!" He blurted out.

"You're joking?!" I asked.

"No I'm not!" He said with a chuckle.

We started laughing. I felt really comfortable with Percy. It was like we were best friends for ages. I sat on the ben and noticed a bronze colored pen. Even with the light on, I could tell that it had a barely noticeable bronze glow to it. Curious, I picked it up. I noticed that it had a word written on it. I read it to myself slowly.

"Ana..klus…mos." I thought. "Riptide. Wait, how did I know that?!"

"Are you all right Tsuna?" asked Percy.

"What? Oh yeah." I said. "Nice pen."

"Thanks. That was a gift from an old teacher of mine." Percy said as he took the pen out of my hand.

"That was nice of him." I said. "Was that Greek inscribed on the pen?"

"Well, it's Ancient Greek. Why" He wondered.

"Oh no reason." I said. "How did I read Ancient Greek?"

"Are you sure you're alright?" he asked as he put his hand on my shoulder. However, before I could answer, Mrs. Blofis called us.

"Boys! Dinner is ready!" Mrs. Blofis said.

Percy and I walked out to the dining area. Mrs. Blofis had put out some expensive looking china. The white table cloth looked like it was made of silk. As Percy and I sat down, Mom and Mr. Blofis brought out dishes that had mashed potatoes, corn, and a gravy boat. Mrs. Blofis carried out the roast beef. Surrounding the roast beef were baby carrots and small onions. The smell was divine.

"Eat up everyone!" said Mrs. Blofis.

We scooped up the food. After a few minutes, Mrs. Blofis went to the oven and brought out a tray of fresh rolls and a tray of butter. Mr. Blofis brought out a bottle of wine for the adults and a bottle of apple cider for me and Percy. While we ate the amazing food, we talked.

"So Tsuna, do you have any disabilities?" Mrs. Blofis asked.

"Oh, well…I have ADHD and Dyslexia." I admitted. "That's all I have really."

"Just like Percy." said Mr. Blofis.

"Will this affect the enrollment process Mr. Blofis?" I asked.

"Call me Paul." He said. "And it shouldn't affect the process too much."

We finished dinner after a while. We shared stories and laughed. Percy and I got along really well, like best friends. From what I could tell, Mom and Mrs. Blofis acted like Mom never moved away. After dinner, Mrs. Blofis brought out a chocolate cake smothered in blue frosting and a tub of vanilla ice cream.

It was near nine before Mom said we had to go. I didn't want to go, mostly because I was having a lot of fun and Percy was really cool. But Mom did overdo it on the wine a bit, so I needed to take her home. We said our goodbyes and put on our coats.

"Hey Tsuna, wait up!" yelled Percy before we left the apartment.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Do you want to hang out tomorrow?" Percy asked.

"Um…" I said, a bit shocked.

"Go ahead Tsuna." Mom said. "We unpacked a lot of our stuff already and I have some things to do at the university. Besides, it would do you some good to get reacquainted with Percy."

"I guess that's a yes then Percy." I said with a smile.

"Cool. Just come over around 8 in the morning tomorrow." said Percy as he raised his fist.

"Okay. See ya Percy." I said, bumping our fists together. "Thanks for having us Mrs. and Mr. Blofis."

"It's no problem dear." said Mrs. Blofis. "And please, call us Sally and Paul, you don't need to be so formal."

We left after that. It was quite dark outside. Mom was barely tipsy, but her balance was off, so I had to support her. You would think that we would have been mugged, considering the way we were dressed and how late it was, but nobody came at us, which was a good thing. We got home in a few minutes and I unlocked the door.

"Off to bed, I think." Mom said. "Don't wake me tomorrow. I have an alarm set for ten. Make sure you eat something before you head over to Percy's."

"Yes, mother dear." I said. As she turned around, I went up and hugged her. She was a bit startled, but she hugged back. "Thanks for the move, Mom. Good night."

"Good night sweetie." Mom said. "I love you."

"Love you too." I said as we went to our rooms.

When I got to my room I changed into my sleeping clothes. They were simple and comfortable, consisting of a white shirt and black shorts. The shirt has a black coloration for the collar and arms. The middle of the shirt has a picture of a black serpentine dragon. The shorts had a yin yang symbol on the lower left side of the pants. I jumped into bed and wrapped my IKEA brand comforter and snuggled down into my pillows. With a loud yawn that doubled as a sigh, I played with me dragon ring.

"I made a friend." I thought as I drifted off into the realm of dreams.
