Hey everyone. Okay, this is my new story that I was working on. This story is based on the famous manga/anime Soul Eater. I love it very much. And I'm sure that there are some Soul Eaters fans around here. So I hope you enjoy this. Lately, I'm forgetting to do this… I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Soul Eater. I'm going to do a one-shot for Valentines day. But I'm not sure if it'll be on time. So watch out for it.
Chapter 1: I'm Your Partner
Up above, the sun was chuckling like he normally does. He was looking down below as new students of DWMA were pouring in. Like every year, new students are conversing with others. It was a bit easier to get a partner that way. Tsuna was walking around in the school. He was already a student of DWMA. For two years actually… And the sad thing is that he hasn't found himself a partner yet. He would have one if only his best friend Enma wasn't a weapon. Even he found a meister this year. The brunet sighed at the idea. The reason as to why no one wants him is because of his inability to transform. Everyone in the school does. And it won't take long till the new ones know about his secret. The other reason is because of his appearance and personality. He wouldn't say it's the best or even considered special. His usual nickname is Useless Tsuna. Not much to smile about. At least it's better than No Good Tsuna.
"I guess I'm on my own now…"
Tsuna entered into an empty classroom and sat near the window. He sometimes wondered why he's even here nowadays. When you're alone, it gives you more than enough time to think about life-changing decisions. All these time of being in DWMA, getting a meister is a bit harder than you think. And if he doesn't get one soon, there's a slight chance he might fail the entire course. Death-sama even told him so. He need to get at least one soul to pass at least. However, that might be a tough task. The only reason why they passed him before was because of his condition. This year was the last of it. It's a bit harsh yet understanding in a way… Tsuna looked out of the window and down below. He could see many people smiling, conversing like no tomorrow. And he's up here mopping when he should be down there doing the same. Maybe if he tried opening up a bit, finding a meister wouldn't be too hard.
"Yeah… That's what I should do! No more moping around Tsuna. You go out there and talk!" He shouted.
Tsuna dropped his head in exasperation. There's no way he could pull it off. He's an anti-social. Everyone knows that. Also, he could do something that could make him seem like a fool. He doesn't need any more of that than he does now. The young male ruffles his already messy brown hair. Since a meister is out of the question, doing things might be a bit easier. All he needs to do is get one itsy bitsy soul from a bad guy and he's set for this year. Sure he might die if he fails but what can he do? He can't afford to fail. There's always a choice of dropping out and living a normal life. But weapons are not really well liked outside. Plus, who knows what sort of enemies out there are planning on attacking DWMA students.
"How about actually trying your first opinion, Useless Tsuna?" A baritone voice asked.
"But I'm an anti-social. There's no wait I could do it…" Tsuna mumbled.
"How about taking a leap first?"
"What do you mean by 'leap'?"
The supposed conversation ended when Tsuna found himself crashing out of the classroom window. The talk the brunet thought was going on was in his head. However, he thought it was a bit weird when he called himself 'useless'. There, in the classroom, stood the proud teacher, Reborn. He was smirking as the brunet was flying out. On his shoulder was his pet chameleon Leon. Shards of glass surrounded the brunet as his eyes widen from the sight of his teacher. The very least thing Tsuna could say now is that DWMA isn't any ordinary school. He learned that on the first day. So, something like this happening isn't surprising. Especially, if Reborn is behind it… He's one of the teachers in the school. Everyone says that he's strict in his teaching but crazy in everything else. Some even say that he was a former hitman before becoming a teacher. And there were some hints that proves so.
"Reborn…!" Tsuna shouted.
Tsuna continued falling from the tenth floor. It's a really big school so it's not much of a shocker. Engulfed with fear, it was hard to voice out a scream. Even giving his usual 'hie' was a bit difficult. In the background, he could hear people from below gasping and screaming. Even the older students that saw this stopped to watch in worry. Seriously, why was Reborn even hired to be a teacher here? And he mostly bullies him during his free time. As long as he could remember, that sadistic man enjoyed messing around with him. He even said it to him at one point. It left the brunet an uneasy sensation whenever the man is around since then. The image of Reborn disappeared as Tsuna fell down further and closer to the ground. He closed his eyes tightly for the upcoming pain and crash once he lands. So much for looking like a fool… And he was pretty sure that he was getting much closer. Yet, the pain never came.
Tsuna slowly opens his eyes. He could see a face of a male on the side. His hair was in the way so it was hard to see his eyes. Right now, the brunet was being held by a stranger after from his falling. He was not really sure how to react in this situation. For starters, he was never in one like this. The nameless person lifts his head slightly, revealing his closed eyes. His frowning lips turned into a gentle smile. The brunet's heart skipped a beat. But that was not why. When the person opened his eyes, Tsuna felt his breath taken away. There, he saw a pair of amber colored eyes. That instant, he felt something. The nameless male and Tsuna stared into each other's eyes for a brief minute. That was when the person let out a heartily laugh.
"Haha, you're really interesting!" He laughed.
"A-Ah…! Sorry about that…" Tsuna muttered.
"Are you okay? No injuries right?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
The male carefully release the brunet. They exchanged their goodbyes and parted ways. Tsuna quickly ran in the school to hide. And possibly find that insane teacher of his and give him a good scolding. The taller male's eyes didn't wander as he watched carefully as the brunet walked away. A few other students, both old and new, came rushing to him to see if he had any injuries from the catch. And that one big catch if they say so themselves… The male just scratch the back of his head and laughed like nothing happened. They did the same. He then asked the group if they knew anything about Tsuna. The older students started explaining the usual information: name, birthday, classroom, etc. One of them later explained that the brunet is apparently one of the few that doesn't have a partner during his time there. He even told the taller male about his inability to transform into a weapon.
"Even if he turns into one, there's no guarantee that he'll be a useful weapon…" One of the current students said.
"Plus the only friend he has is Enma. He's similar to him too but at least he got a meister." Another said.
"Yamamoto-kun, I don't think you should be interested in a weapon like that."
"I guess so…"
–
"That was the worse! The absolute worst impression ever…!" Tsuna thought harshly.
"So, how did it go? Did you get a meister?" Reborn asked.
"You…! Reborn, if it wasn't for you, that wouldn't have happened! You were trying to kill me!"
"I may or may not have thought you might have died from that. But since you didn't, I deserve some worshipping right now." He smirked.
Tsuna gave an exhausted expression to the insane teacher. Really, should Reborn really be considered a teacher here? He would be great as a hitman like everyone is saying. The brunet only sighed and scratched the back of his head. Reborn watch him with little interest. What is he going to do with a student like this? He thought that if he made the young student step out of his comfort zone for once, it would get him at least one person to be interested in him. Leon was resting on his shoulders, peeking at the scene as if it was the latest entertainment. Before he saw the brunet, he had a serious conversation with Death-sama. Apparently, he didn't like Tsuna going on without a meister. So, there were two options given. One is that he gets a partner on his own. However, that was a complete failure. Second is that he is assigned to one. That might have been an easier choice but the wavelength might be an issue.
"I was told that if you don't find one, someone will be chosen for you."
"What…? You're not serious, are you? No one wants me as their weapon."
"You'll be surprise. Who knows, you might actually get a girlfriend this time too."
"Don't speak nonsense!"
–
The final bell rung as it announced the end of school. Students in the classroom stood up and made way to the door. Tsuna just sat where he is and played around with his pencil. Since Enma found a meister, he was already off on missions. He'll probably get his first soul once he comes back. It's not a shocker really if he does. The day before, Enma was going on about how he and his partner sync. They were so perfectly matched, the female meister made his weapon form look cool. And his weapon form isn't something to brag about. He was a metal fan weapon. Because of that, male students don't want him. And female student viewed it as 'unappealing' and 'useless'. All in all, the brunet is happy for his best friend. He sighed. If only he had someone like that. And to think, Enma scored with a beauty also. Life is absolutely weird and confusing.
"Hey, Useless Tsuna, Death-sama wants to see you." Reborn shouted at him.
"Huh…? What for? Did I do something wrong?"
"I don't know. Probably your new partner or something. Just get outta here."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Geez…"
–
"Shini-shini-goroshi… Hello, Death-sama? You called for me?"
"Hello, hello! Tsuna, you're here just on time."
"Reborn-sensei sent me down here, saying you called for me. Am I in trouble?"
Death waved one of his large flat hands in front of his face. He began to explain that Tsuna was not in trouble. The famous Grim Reaper hummed as he thought over what he was going to say. Tsuna stood quietly in front of the mirror as he waited for a response. Death tilted his head to the side as he spoke. Apparently, the brunet was failing. Not on getting any soul but for grades also. His grade is beyond low that he might need to spend the entire month just to get a manageable passing grade. Tsuna wanted to faint on the spot. So much for suffering through Reborn's class to pass… Death stood straight as he pointed one finger up. The only way he can pass is to do a supplementary class. Those are for 'stupid' students that has zero souls during the middle of the course. It's hard to believe that he didn't get one since the beginning.
"I know that this might be unreasonable. But there's nothing else I can do. Don't worry. It's an easy task."
"What is it that I have to do exactly?"
"Transformation is the first major task. Second is catching your first demon soul."
"But that's impossible! I don't have a meister!"
"That is why I assigned you one. I hope you two get along."
Just on time, Tsuna turned around to hear footsteps from behind. Near at the entrance to the Death Room were Stein and the nameless male from before. Someone please tell him that his partner is Stein-sensei instead of the other person. All hope crash when the teacher pats the student's back. This is a joke right? It got to be a very humorless attempted joke that Reborn probably got involved in right? The taller student walked up and stood in front of Tsuna. The brunet turned back to the Grim Reaper, pointing at the other person. Death merely nodded his head without saying a word. Stein later commented that this person can easily sync with the brunet because of his soul being able to do so. Well, for a short amount of time. He needs to get some training on that or they have to get used to each other's soul's wavelength. The male smiled cheerfully.
"Hey, you're that boy from before. I'm Takeshi Yamamoto. You are?"
"I'm Tsunayoshi Sawada. But people call me Tsuna."
"I'm your meister from now on. I hope we can be friends."
"Same here… I guess."
Death cheered at the sight. He clapped his hands together and hummed. He later told everyone to go since they had things to do. While doing that, he reminded that before Tsuna could transform, he needs to get used to being around with Yamamoto first. The brunet nods his head awkwardly. The two students walked out along with Stein following them from behind. That's just great… Tsuna knows this is going to end badly. There's no doubt in him that said otherwise. In a couple of days, Yamamoto will get tired of him and throw him away like nothing. Well, he might as well get used to the idea till it actually happens. Stein watched Tsuna quietly as the cigar between his lips continued to burn. He didn't know much about the brunet since he's not one of his students. However, he did take time to talk to Reborn. And his favorite topic is about Tsuna. He at least thought the boy would put up a better fight than earlier.
Stein looked away for a minute. He is a bit curious as to how this might turn out. Before meeting with Death and Tsuna, he discovered that Yamamoto is rather kind and cheerful. Also, he's a very social person. And it's a bit of a shocker that his soul can adjust to any other soul. Though it's only for a short moment… What would happen if you put an anti-social Tsuna with a popular person like Yamamoto? Would it result in something good? Or will it end badly? His eyes went back to the brunet. Would they struggle a lot because of his inability to transform into a weapon? Or will it help them get closer to each other? All sort of question that will soon get an answer. All he needs to do is wait for the time being. During most of his years teaching here, it was a bit interesting to find out that there's a student here that can't transform when they're a weapon. Quite odd if you asked him…
"Well, since you guys are on supplementary classes, Reborn-sensei and I will teach you. Be prepared for tomorrow." Stein said.
"Yes Stein-sensei." Tsuna nodded.
"I can't wait to spend time together with Tsuna!" Yamamoto cheered.
"Don't get too comfortable just yet. You still need to sync properly with Tsuna. And he needs to transform into a weapon for battle."
"No problem. With me as his meister, it'll be easy."
"I wonder how long that confidence will last. Fine… Just be ready tomorrow."

And that's it. I know that it's short but I can't give much away. Wait till the next chapter okay? Anyways, thanks for reading this. The strange thing is that I had a dream like this. I'm the meister; I don't know who my weapon was really… And I and she were chasing Medusa. She wasn't causing trouble but it was just weird. I was chasing her everywhere. The entire thing made me dizzy when I woke up. Either way, please take some time to review this. Oh, as for My Little Family… I'm not really determined to write for that, but I'm forcing myself to. Just for you guys… I'm not going to be one of those writers that discontinue their work. Nope, not doing it… Bye for now.
