Author's Note! Heyo. I've decided that I want to start a KHR story (obviously) so here I am. Like with all of my other stories, I am giving that my updating schedule will be really erratic and weird. Sorry, I'm a procrastinator and I like to sleep. I haven't finished KHR and Hitoshi is a new character of mine so this will probably really bumpy and awkward for a little bit. Stick with it though, maybe you'll like it?

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR as you could probably guess. I just own/am responsible for Hitoshi and his not yet discovered personality.

Prologue

Hitoshi Taketomo was born on February 23 to Kiaha and Haruka Taketomo. He was a small baby, born a month premature.

His mother, Kiaha, was a loving and kind woman with white blonde hair and green eyes. Haruka, his father, was a strong businessman with light brown hair and gray eyes. The Taketomo family was quiet well-off and was easily an upper class family.

Hitoshi was a quiet baby, and for good reason. It just so happened that this was not the first time Hitoshi had been born. Hitoshi had lived a previous life in America as an average anime fan who never really put much thought to what would happen after death.

The first few months of Hitoshi's life were spent giving his body infant body time to adjust to housing a teenagers mind. When Hitoshi was 4 months old, he finally accepted that he was reincarnated and began to observe his surroundings more.

When Hitoshi was 6 months, he spoke his first word to his mother. Over the two months he had noticed the woman was speaking both Italian and Japanese, though she tended to speak to him in Italian and the household staff in Japanese. Hitoshi had practiced saying syllables whenever he was alone and he knew the perfect word to say to thank his mother who had done everything for him.

"Maman!"

After he had spoken his first word, there came his second and his third and his fourth. Hitoshi was speaking broken sentences at 8 months, much to his mother's surprise. Since Hitoshi had a more advanced brain, he didn't take as long as most infants do to speak.

When he was 9 months old, he took his first step before falling into his mother's legs. At 11 months, Hitoshi was stumbling his way around the house, blabbering in Italian and Japanese to anyone who would listen.

On Hitoshi's first birthday, his father came home from his 6 month business trip to see his son walking and talking. His father gifted him little trinkets from all of the places he'd been in his absence and his mother gave him as many toys as she and the staff could fit into the trunk of their car.

From age 1 to 5 Hitoshi spent his time learning how to speak Japanese and Italian more fluently. When he turned 3, he asked his mother to teach him how to read and write simple kanji.

At age 5, Hitoshi knew that he had somehow ended up in Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Everyone around him told him they were in Namimori and to be careful of a certain Skylark whenever he went outside. Hitoshi was in denial for a few months, until his mother took him to the market where he saw a young Tuna-fish next to his mother.

Kindergarten began at age 6 and Hitoshi stayed away from the other children. He was a very small child who preferred to sit in the back of the classroom away from his fellow children and take in his surroundings.

When Hitoshi was 7, the month before he began going to Namimori Elementary, Kiaha died in a car accident. Hitoshi had been planning on joining into cannon as soon as the first arc began, so imagine his surprise when during the three hours he spent sobbing in grief over his mother he used his flames for the first time.

About two hours into his grieving, Hitoshi felt a pull as he was imagining his mother standing before him one last time. When he looked up, kneeling in front of him was a transparent vision of his mother. She wiped his tears and whispered four words that Hitoshi swears he can still hear echoing whenever he starts to break down.

"I love you, Shi-kun."

As she disappears, Hitoshi recognizes the vision as Mist flames from all those years ago. He begins practicing creating illusions and signs up for Aikido classes at age 7.

He goes to Nami Elementary for 6 years, staying in the shadows. He sees Tsunayoshi Sawada around sometimes, being bullied or laughed at. Hitoshi wants to stick up for him, but he knows that Tsuna must go through this difficult time in order to become stronger when his Famiglia needs him.

By the time Hitoshi is 10 he is fluent in Japanese, Italian, English, and French. English and French being from his past life. When he is 11, his father is in a plane crash and is in critical condition for several hours.

When Hitoshi is informed, he rushes into his room in despair. His emotions once again rise, but rather than another illusion Hitoshi instead is filled with strength as he reaches out and punches his bed frame. The sudden boost of strength causes his bed frame to break as his hands are momentarily covered in flames.

He can never summon Mist flames in his practice and he recognizes the short flash of flames. They were Sun flames. Hitoshi remembers Katekyo Hitman Reborn quiet well, so he accepts that he will most likely not be able use his Sun flames until the TYL arc begins.

Though he never tries to use them, sometimes when his emotions are high his Sun flames spike and he breaks whatever he was holding. His father returns home for two years while recovering from his plane crash and leaves on Hitoshi's 13th birthday. In April, Hitoshi finally moves into Nami Middle and prepares himself for the beginning of the Daily Life arc.

Author's Note! What'd you think? This chapter is sort of in a drabble format but I promise, none of the rest of the story will be! Leave me some reviews and I'll continue to write.
