Flames of Summoning
Prologue
As Tsuna carefully drew her summoning circle on the floor she couldn't help but think what a crazy life, or lives, she has lived. For Tsuna is no ordinary girl as she has memories of her previous life, a life where she had been male and a mafia boss.
For some having the memories of your previous life would be interesting or even comforting. But for Tsuna it had been confusing, for years she had difficulty accepting her new life and the loss of her previous friends and family. Though over time she managed to accept that she is not Tsunayoshi Sawada, son of Imetisu and Nana Sawada but is Tsunayoshi Tachibana the daughter of Yuuto and Nana Tachibana.
In this life she is not male, she is not a mafia boss, her father is not Iemitsu Sawada and she never met a baby hitman who forced her to become a mafia boss. In this life there is no mafia and while there are flames, they are not used the way they had been in Tsuna previous life. In this universe, because Tsuna has reasoned this must be some kind of parallel universe, flames are considered magic. These flames are used to summon and form a contract with being from another plane of existence.
While Tsuna knows that she is not the same as the person of her previous life, there are still a few similarities. Such as being shy, not having any friends and not being particularly well at anything.
But today that would all change because today, one year after entering Namimori magic college, she would summon her first companion and from this her life would change for the better.
Looking up from her freshly completed circle Tsuna stared at the pink and blue bird one of the other girls in the class held.
'Once I summon a Azure Bird, I'll finally be accepted by my classmates,' Tsuna happily thought, 'not only that but I can also help mama and papa out at the bakery. Azure Birds specialize in carrying and delivering items.'
"Okay class," a feminine voice called from the front of the class. "You all have your sealing stones, right?"
A chorus of affirmative answered the woman and Tsuna gripped the stone tightly in her hand.
There is always a chance that a summoning could go wrong. As such a sealing stone can be thrown on a summoning circle to seal it. If that were to happen Tsuna would then have to break the magic circle.
"Alright, I want you all to begin." The woman who is the teacher of the class explained, "now remember, your only allowed to summon an eighth tier creature."
Tsuna nodded her head and thought, 'an eighth tier creature, are the weakest creatures you can summon. They're the easiest to control. Also the Azure Bird is considered an eighth tier summon.'
Kneeling Tsuna put the sealing stone down next to her, placing her hands on the magic circle she gently whispered, "you of another world, you who flies free in the sky, I summon thee to this world to form a contract!"
As the seconds went by Tsuna began to grow anxious. The thought that she had messed up some how entered her mind and for a second she considered lifting her hands from the circle. But just then the teacher called out, "don't forget it can take some time before a creature answers a summon. Be sure not to remove your hands from the magic circle or it will cause your summoning to cancel."
"That's right…" Tsuna muttered as she realized she just nearly cancelled her summoning. Which would mean she would have to wait a whole month for the chance to summon again.
To her left Tsuna heard someone groan as they had removed their hands before the summoning had finished. While on her right she saw a flash of light and heard a cheerful laugh as someone succeeded in their summons.
Looking at her circle Tsuna silently pleaded, 'please, please come to me. Please.'
It is then that Tsuna sees a faint glow from her circle. With a smile Tsuna happily watched as her magic circle pulsed with blue energy and began to take on the appearance of a puddle. As she watched something yellow and fluffy began to rise from the portal and for a second Tsuna is confused. Yellow isn't a color that the Azure Bird's come in, they are always pink and blue. Feeling her stomach drop in disappointment Tsuna realized she must not have summoned an Azure Bird.
'That's alright,' Tsuna reassured herself. 'I'm sure whatever creature I've summoned will be just as cute and useful.'
Slowly the yellow thing rose to reveal a head wearing a green bandana, fair skin and blue eyes. Looking at the familiar face Tsuna numbly removed her hands from the summoning circle and reached out. Placing both of her hands on the head she pushed down, ignoring the confused look on the creatures face. Pushing the head back into the portal until it disappeared, Tsuna reached for her sealing stone and tossed it in the center of her summoning circle. She then stood up and with her shoe carefully eased part of her magic circle, effectively breaking the circle.
Starring blackly at her broken magic circle Tsuna paid no attention to those around her. It wasn't until a warm hand is placed on her shoulder that Tusna is finally brought out of her thoughts.
"Tsuna," the concerned voice of the teacher asks, "is something wrong? Did something happen with your summoning?"
Slowly turning to the teacher, tears began to fall from Tsuna eyes as she began to cry uncontrollably.
"Tsuna?!" the teacher asked in a panic, "what happened?!"
Through her sobs the teacher manage to make out the words, "wanted…", "Azure…" and "not again…"
Unsure at what to due the teacher patted Tsuna on the back and tried to reassure her that many students mess up on their first try.
Because summoning AU are super popular, I decided to write one. Though I decided to have Tsuna have memories of his previous life and make him a girl. Because why not. All Tsuna wanted was a cute magical bird…instead she got…you know.
I needed to take a break from my other fics so I decided to write this. I'm not sure if this will remain a one-shot or I'll continue it. I do have an outline of what will happen if I continue it.
