Earthbound Family
Hello and welcome everybody and everyone to the second part of Tsukuyomi. If you haven't read it then you better start before reading this one...or you could read this one and then the other, which ever you feel like doing. Any who, there has been some little changes like the age for example, so Tsuna is going to be a little older than what the ending says he is. Well enough babbling and enjoy the fic.
( Sawada Tsunayoshi )
My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi and my life isn't something someone would call a perfect life, far from it. No, my life has been horrible and a perfect definition for it would be hell. No other word fit it better than that. I bet even circus clowns have a better life than I do. Now, some of you may be saying something along the lines of: It can't be that bad, right? Or, why do you say that? Life is good! Well you're dead wrong. It all started when I was born, I didn't came out as a healthy baby. I was sick since birth. I was diagnosed to have very weak arms, that means I couldn't hold anything heavy less I wanted my fragile bones to snap, and poorly health, that meant I couldn't do sport for I also had a weak heart. Talk about having bad luck.
My parents abandon me after the doctor told them the news, since I wasn't cut off to be a mafia member. That's right, you aren't hearing things, I said mafia. How did I found out? I did some snooping around when my parents still lived in japan, thou they left the house, and luckily, or unluckily, I came across it in my mother's diary. Since I was useless to them they threw me away like a broken toy. Two years later they had twins, two boys named Tetsua and Tsurugi. How I hated them, but later I found out I hated them because they were with my parents instead of me, I was able to stop hating them but I still dislike them. Them and my parents. Last time I heard they got a tutor named Reborn to train them to be mafia bosses. Guess how I felt.
I was adopted by a kind lady who owned a bakery shop named Kasumi, she picked me because I was the one with the most need of having a family, she told me that after I asked her why she picked a broken boy when she could have anyone else, and I believed her. I saw her as my mother and gave her the love I would've giving the parents who left me. Her kind heart knew no bound, she even helped a fugitive hide in her shop, a year later he came back and thank her by giving her a large check from his now paying job, he didn't steal again. Kasumi was loved by everyone, and I mean everyone.
My school life is no better, unfortunately. I also had a name other than useless thou it most likely the same, I was called no good Tsuna. I had no friends, even if I tried, and I was the target of every bully in the school. Why? Because I couldn't defend myself and never squealed on them. They went easy on me, but it still hurt like hell because of my condition. This continue on for many years to my current age, witch is seventeen. Yep, my life was that pathetic. I even confessed my love for Kyoko-chan and you know what happened? She laughed at me and walked away saying I was pathetic.
My life sucked to the core. But all that change one day. Remember when I told you I confessed my love to that bitch Kyoko? Of course you do, well her so called soon to be boyfriend came with two of his buddies to 'teach me' a lesson and began to beat me up. As usual the beating took a toll on me and my nose was bleeding, cleaning up was going to be hell. Just then someone came and beat up my bullies making them cry, unbelievable, right? The big bad bullies ran away and I felt someone pulled me into sitting position, it hurt so I hissed a little.
When I took a look at the guy who saved me, I felt like I was watching myself in the mirror except he had black hair and ruby red eyes and his forehead had this black flame burning, which later on died down until it was gone. He looked hot. What!? I'm bi, so sue me! When I asked him who he was he said his name is Tsukuyomi and that he was my new home tutor. When I asked him for what, he just smiled and said to become a mafia boss. Now the first thing I did was widen my eyes and screamed at him, calling him a perverted stalker and ran off, even thou that didn't make sense but I was startled, so I ran. For a short distance anyways. This is where our story begins.
Tsuna walked all the way home, he was glad he had cleaned up before entering his home, otherwise his mother would notice the constant beatings. She always was suspicious of it, but he had manage to convince her that it was just her imagination " Mom, I'm home from school!"
An older lady, not too old but not too young, came to greet the boy " Well it's good to see you again Tsuna-kun." she came and gave a hug to the brunet for a few seconds " Can you help me? We got a very important customer and I need you to take his order."
" Sure thing mom! Where is he?"
" Oh, he's right over there sweetheart. He's quiet the gentleman, you know? Very kind and polite, you don't see that these days." she pointed to a certain black hair teen sitting on the desk waiting for his order.
Tsuna's mouth open and closed, making him look like a fish, in recognition of said raven " YOU!!?"
The raven turned and smiled " Why hello there boy who I never met before in my entire life! My name is Tsukuyomi, nice to meet you!" he said cheerfully and obviously lying.
" LIAR!! I met you at the school grounds!!" he said pointing an accusing finger at the raven.
" Ah, you must have met my twin brother Tsukuyome. There's a difference you know, his name has a E instead of an I at the end. Here's a picture of him." he pulled out a picture so Tsuna could see it.
Tsuna took a look at it and sweat dropped " That's you with a mustache!! An obviously fake mustache!" he shouted.
The raven continue to smile with his eyes closed, the picture suddenly burned to cinder before turning into black feathers, floating away. " Haha, you caught me. Yeah it's me."
" Oh, a magic trick! How delightful." Kasumi said with delight. " Are you a magician?"
Tsukuyomi grinned " Something like that. I'm an illusionist, a very good one at that."
Kasumi nodded and brought some pastries for them " Now what did you wanted to talk about young lad?"
The raven teen nodded " Very well, I'll get straight to the point, I want to take Tsuna under my wing and make him into a mafia leader."
" This BULLS..."
" Tsuna! Language!" Kasumi scolded in her sweat voice.
" Sorry mom."
" Why do you want my little boy to become a mafia leader? I am sure you know about his weak heart and arms." Kasumi said curiously.
Tsukuyomi closed his eyes and his face turned into a serious one " What if I tell you that if you accept my services I can heal your conditions and make you a normal teenage boy?"
Both Tsuna and Kasumi were stunned. A few tears escape Kasuni's eyes before she spoke " You can really heal my little boy? You can make him a normal teenage boy?"
The raven chuckled " Well, he will be more than normal because once his training is over he is going to be above the average, but you guys already know that."
Kasumi nodded happily " Yes, I know. But the decision is not mine to make." she turned her face toward the brunet " It's all up to you Tsunayoshi. You and only you can create your own fate."
Tsuna's eyes widen " M-Me!?
" Yes Tsuna, you. You are the one to carve your own path, it is your decision to make. So, what do you choose?" Tsukuyomi said agreeing with Tsuna's adoptive mother.
Tsuna got a solemn face and then frowned " I don't know if I would want that. The idea of you being able to heal my heart and arms would be great, beyond great. But the mafia world was the thing that brought me into this world I'm living now."
The raven teen frowned " What do you mean by that?"
Kasumi was the one to answer " My little boy, Tsuna, was abandon by his real parents because he wasn't fit to take a place in their family of mafiosos. It's really cruel what they did to this young boy. He's been through so much because of them, I'm trying my best...but sometimes it feel like I'm not enough." a few tears left the elderly woman eyes.
Tsuna quickly rush to her side and embrace her " You're everything I wish for in a parent and more. Please, don't be sad." he then turned to the raven " That is why I want nothing to do with the mafia. It just reminds me of how useless I really am."
The raven smiled softly as he got up fro where he was sitting and took both hands of the brunet into his own " No Tsuna, you are so much more than that. Although your heart may be weak and your bones are fragile, they never give up and always give their best to keep you moving on. You will never solve anything by ignoring it or running away. So what better way to prove your 'no good' parents a lesson than becoming a leader of a mafia family, one who's nameless but feared and respected through out the world. One that you will lead."
" M-Me? But I'm..."
" Tsuna, listen. I will not force something you are not comfortable with. I came here and offer you a life, not a life in which later I will control, but one that you will have control over. Of course that means that you would work hard to shape it into your vision. For you see Sawada-san, in order to gain something one wants, one must give it their all in order to reach it. So, here is a life offer to you on a plate, now it's up to you to take and shape it or leave it behind. What will it be?" Tsukuyomi said softly as he let go both hands, making the brunet feel a little disappointed.
Tsuna was thinking about his choices. Should he choose to be train and become the mafia boss of a nameless yet powerful mafia family and create a new life with his illness taken away or refuse it and continue his already existing life? He thought carefully before he faced the raven " And what about you? If I choose to become this mafia boss, what will you be in this family?"
The raven grinned " Currently I'm the boss of this family, but after the training I will become your guardian and protect you and the family, following your will to carry me."
Tsuna sighed but his face turned into a determined one " Ok, I choose to be your student and become this mafia boss of your family."
The raven's grin grew and he pulled out three pieces of paper with some weird markings " First thing's first. Put these seals around your writs and one in the area where your heart is supposed to be. These seals will heal you and it will take at least a week for them to fully heal you."
Tsuna did as he was told and place the three seals in their respective places " Ok, now what will happen from here on?"
Tsukuyomi's grin never left his face " From this point we wait until a week has passed. In the mean time I will go to your school and assist as a new transfer student to keep an eye on you. Congratulations Tsuna, you have your very first friend. I think.."
The brunet couldn't help but smile at that. " Thanks. It means a lot to me. "he whispered.
" No problem." he smirk " Now after the week, I will teach you the basic. You know, how to fight and stuff. In the process we will also need to find five people who will qualify to be your guardians. Once that is done, you will all be tested in finding your box weapons and rings. Each will have two boxes and a ring, one of the boxes will be the weapon you were born to use the other will contain your god beast."
" God beast?" Tsuna asked confused.
Tsukuyomi nodded pulling out a box from his long black coat. His box was black and had a serpentine figure with wings and it was painted in the color indigo " In this box lies a very powerful beast, or dragon to be exact, known as one of the seven earthbound dragons. To open these boxes their owner must have one of the seven earthly crystal rings, like mine here..." he said showing the ring on his right hand. It has an indigo color crystal that emitted a soft light of that color. " This is one of the seven crystal rings known as the Cobalt Ring, this ring represent the mist."
" Wait a minute! Earthbound Dragons? Crystal Rings? What the heck are those things!!?" Tsuna said in confusion.
This time Kasumi was the one to answer " Ah, the all powerful dragons said to appear from different elements of the earth. They were a legend back at my old country, it was said that whoever possessed one of the seven beast that person could rule a nation. Posses all seven and you rule the world."
Tsukuyomi nodded " Correct. These almighty beast almost brought the destruction of the entire world, that is until the city of Atlantis created seven crystal rings, forge from the same earthly powers the beast were born, were able to control the beast, and sealed them in seven different boxes. The atlantians then disperse these boxes in seven temple along with the rings and only the marked ones will be able to handle their powers."
" Then why me? I'm not a mark one!!" Tsuna shouted in disbelieve.
" Are you certain?" The raven raised is right arm, and indigo colored glow came from it revealing the outline of the same serpentine creature with wings that appeared on his box. After the mark reveal itself Tsuna's right arm began to emit a orange glow and soon enough the outline of what appeared to be a dragon could be seen, except the outlines were orange color and Tsukuyomi's was indigo.
Tsuna's eyes widen " W-What?" he said before he calmed down " So this is what your talking about." he then turned to look at the raven " How will I know were the other five with these symbols are? How will I recognize them?"
Tsukuyomi smirked " The mark one's will all be drawn to one another. That's how I found you. The others will be reveal soon enough. Who knows, maybe you already met them and don't know it yet. Well that's enough information, tomorrow I start my new life in your school and become part of your life. By the way, I know this is sudden and all but...what will you named your mafia family?"
Tsuna thought for a moment before he smirk, oh he will give definitely prove to everyone what 'No good Tsuna' could do " I thought it would be obvious, everything comes from the earth, right? Even the mafia and these dragons, so we will be known as The Earthbound Family. What do you think?"
Kasumi smiled proudly and Tsukuyomi chuckled " Perfect." was all the raven said.
That's the ending of the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed it.
