I do not own neither Natsume's Book of Friends or Hitman Reborn, they belong to their respective creators and their companies.
Natsume's foster parents died in an accident, leaving Natsume with a relative of theirs, Nana. Nana is more than happy to have him and welcomes Natusme into the family. Tsuna is worried that Natsume will get involved with the mafia.
A New Home
Natsume was not in his best moods, he was absolutely depressed. In the past week, his foster parents were involved in a driving accident, after hours of struggling, they died in the hospital holding each other's hands as well as Natsume's. The last hour of consciousness that they had was a private moment with the three. Natsume spilled out all his secrets to them and the two of them still accepted him as their son. Touko's last request was for him to stay with her younger sister until he finished his schooling. She wanted for him to not loose faith with humans and knew that her sister was just as understanding as her. Natsume reluctantly agreed with the condition of staying as long as he was wanted. Natsume wouldn't have to worry about money or a house to return to because the Fujiwara's had left them their remaining material things to him. Natsume was crying all night, Madara was in his full form as a way of offering his protection. Natsume's yokai friends were there as well, refusing to leave him in case he did something dumb.
Nana, Touko's sister, arrived the next day with her son Tsuna. She arranged for the funeral to occur the following day. Nana and Tsuna were kind people that reminded him of the Fujiwaras, both of them were welcoming towards Natsume being a part of their family. The first half of the day was spent making arrangement for Natsume to transfer to Namimori, which included schooling and moving his stuff to the house. Natsume had asked to leave one day after them to have a final day of saying goodbye, Nana had agreed and decided to use that day to prepare a room for him.
Natsume and Tsuna bonded while Nana made arrangements. They talked about school, who to avoid in school (mainly to stay our of Hibari's way because he was extremely violent as Ryohei would put it), their friends and few more details about themselves. Natsume left out the fact that he could see spirits and yokai and Tsuna left out that he was to be the next generation mafia boss for a very powerful and influential family. They walked in the forest as they talked to each other, Tsuna felt that there was some other presence following them but was not malicious. Natsume was feeling a bit annoyed that the yokai had taken to following him with the excuse that Natsume tends to get into trouble the moment that no one is there to protect him. The yokai would occasionally ask a few questions regarding Namimori, like if they had a forest there or if they had any shrines in the area. Natsume had to ask Tsuna the questions, which sometimes got his weird looks but Tsuna still answered to his best ability. That evening, the three of them, along with Nyanko-sensei went out to eat. Nana had been told of Natsume's attachment to the strange cat and she thought it was absolutely adorable.
Nana started to get acquainted with her adopted nephew and she told him stories about his adopted parents. Natsume was grateful to hear those stories and had a small smile on his face as he thought about them.
That evening he noticed that Nyanko-sensei was acting weird and looked conflicted about something. He told Natsume to go to sleep and not worry. Natsume woke up in the middle of the night with Nyanko-sensei in his true form, his face was staring directing at Natsume's. Natsume looked at him with bored eyes, he really did not care if he was about to die, in fact he cherished the thought. "Nyanko-sensei, if your going to eat me please do it. I'll stop being a burden to people; I'll get to meet the Fujiwaras and you'll get the book of friends. I think it would be a great favor for everyone if you do that."
Madara snorted at the toneless words that came out of the boy's mouth. "Go back to sleep." Natsume closed his eyes, a peaceful smile on his lips as he thought that Madara would fulfill his request. Madara put a slight sleeping spell on the boy and watched as he went into a deeper sleep. His mind was made up with what he was going to do, he just needed a bit of help in order to pull it off.
When Natsume woke up, he was a bit disappointed that he was still alive but he figured that Madara would have probably waited until tonight or tomorrow to eat him because the Sawadas would be gone. The funeral was made up of those that knew the Fujiwaras, Natsume's friends which consisted of both human and yokai kind, and a few of the Fujiwaras' relatives. In the afternoon, the Sawadas were gone in order to prepare their home and Natsume started to say his goodbye to his friends. Nyanko-sensei had gone out while he was with his school friends and didn't come back until Natsume separated from them. The evening and the following day were extremely tiring for Natsume because a lot of spirits came back to get their names from the book. Nyanko-sensei complained about the book getting smaller, but did nothing to stop Natsume. Those two nights in the house, Natsume didn't have a lot of energy and slept fully except for that small incident in the last day. Natsume had briefly woken up and Madara was once again hovering over him, Natsume didn't have any energy to talk and Madara just commanded him to go to sleep in a deep grumbling voice. Natsume immediately obeyed due to his weak energy.
