Past

The night was reflected on the water as a woman walked across the beach with a baby cradling in her arms. The baby reached out for his mom. He mom gave him a sad smile and let her teardrops fall. The baby sensed something was wrong and looked at his mom questioningly. The mom just looked at him.

"My precious baby," started the woman, "born in a world of violence. I'm sorry I couldn't have given birth to you after all this chaos is over. But your mom is to be executed for being a magician. I hope you have a brighter future after this deep slumber." With that said she sat the baby down on the sand, much to the baby's dismay, and took off the pendant around her neck, placing it near the baby.

Voices in the background signaled to the woman that she had to hurry and hide her baby. Murmuring words silently the pendant arose from its place and shone brightly. The baby just giggled at the light emitting from the pendant and reached his tiny hands up trying to catch the pendant. After a few more chants and baby suddenly felt tired and slowly closed his eyes.

The pendant gave one last flash before blinding the night. The baby was gone from it's place and the pendant gently floated down onto the sand. The woman, shedding her last tears, dug a deep hole in the sand and dropped the pendant into the hole, wishing a brighter future for her still developing son. Her magic supplied the child with all the things he would need for when he would awaken. The woman had given the baby knowledge and almost every other thing that she was able to do.

"Soon I'll be with my love." She said sadly as a mob came into view. One of them raised their gun, and pulled the trigger.

The life of Yokuta had ended. But the life of her unknown infant was spared.

Past ends

Present

Tsuna wondered why he let his mom, who has happily bouncing around the beach and playing with the children; talk him into going to the beach. Tsuna was in a good mood today. It was all because Nana, his mom, had invited Kyoko along. Haru was also there. Gokudera and Yamamoto, as expected, joined him at the beach. Today was an extremely hot day and the trio where dying in the sun.

"Tsuna kun~!" cried Kyoko. Tsuna looked up at his longtime crush, who was running to him holding something in her hands. "Tsuna kun~! Look at what I found when me and Lambo where digging in the sand." She exclaimed as she opened her hands to reveal the item within. It was a pendant with a beautifully colored purple heart-shaped gem attached. There was a huge hole in the middle of the stone and it seemed apparent that there was a tiny hour glass. Tsuna and the others looked at it mesmerized by it's beauty.

"Kyoko-chan it's beautiful." Tsuna said blushing up at Kyoko. Kyoko smiled. "I want you to have it Tsuna kun." She said holding out the pendant to Tsuna. Gokudera huffed. "Juudaime would never wear something so unmanly like that." He grumbled. Yamamoto just laughed. "But it's a gift Gokudera, lighten up." He said playfully slapping Gokudera on the back.

Gokudera started yelling at him, while Yamamoto just laughed. Kyoko frowned. "I wasn't able to celebrate your birthday with you a week ago and I wanted to give this to you as a belated birthday present." She said sadly. Tsuna would have never forgiven himself if Kyoko started crying so he panicked. "Umm! Kyoko-chan! I'll accept the present! Just don't cry." He said with a nervous smile. Kyoko's smile reappeared and she quickly gave Tsuna the pendant before hurrying back to Haru and Lambo who were waiting for her so that they could finish the sand castle.

Tsuna examined the pendant that was now around his neck. If it was for Kyoko he would wear it. Even if he would die in embarrassment if anyone at school found out.

Gokudera looked at his beloved boss. "Are you really going to wear that?" he asked. Tsuna nodded. "If it's for Kyoko, I'll wear it." He said blushing. Yamamoto laughed.

Soon it was time to go and they packed up their stuff and walked all the way back to Tsuna's house, where Nana treated them all to lunch AND dinner, which everyone happily agreed to.

Tsuna went up to his room with Gokudera and Yamamoto as Haru and Kyoko went to help Nana in the kitchen. Once inside Tsuna stared at his pendant. He noticed that the sand in the hour glass had all already gone to the bottom.

Reborn appeared on Tsuna's shoulder. "What is that Dame Tsuna?" he asked. Tsuna jumped as he heard Reborn's voice. "It's nothing Reborn." He said. Reborn jumped off Tsuna's shoulder and aimed his gun at Tsuna. "Tell me." He commanded. Tsuna began to panicked. At that same time, Lambo ran into the room knocking Gokudera over who accidentally pushed Reborn.

Due to all of this, Reborn who was going to shoot Tsuna tripped a little and fired the gun. Tsuna put his hands up to defend himself, but instead of hitting him the bullet hit the pendant. Tsuna gasped as he thought he would lose the one gift Kyoko gave him. But instead of breaking in contact, the pendant emitted a glow and shone brightly, blinding them all, minus Reborn who just happen to have on Leon sunglasses.

After the light show was over, Tsuna rubbed his eyes a few times and looked around. Looking ahead of him Tsuna's eyes widened.

"HHIIEEEE?!" he shouted. In front of the trio, Lambo and Reborn was a boy the same age as them in an oversized T-shirt on sleeping soundly on the floor.

Gokudera glared at the sleeping boy and took out his dynamites. "Juudaime you need me to get rid of him?" he asked. Tsuna shook his head frantically. "There's no reason to take away an innocent life!" he screamed. Yamamoto put his hand in front of the boy's sleeping face. "Aha, relax Tsuna, He's still breathing." He laughed. Suddenly the boy stirred and slowly opened his eyes.

The boy got up and looked around the room. "?" he looked at Tsuna and the others who were staring back at him. Yamamoto smiled. "Nice to meet you!" he exclaimed. The boy got frightened by Yamamoto's cheerfulness. Yamamoto took noticed and laughed. "Sorry aha. My name is Yamamoto what's yours?" he asked. The boy looked questioningly at him. "?" he questioned. Yamamoto smiled. "That's my name." The boy blinked. "Oh! Sorry I haven't talked to a person before so I didn't know sorry. But my name is Zeru. Please to meet you." he said. All he got as a response were confused faces. "Never spoken to a person?" Yamamoto asked. Zeru nodded sheepishly. "Well… I've been imprisoned in that pendant for as long as I can remember. So I haven't been in contact with people for a long time." He said.

Gokudera frowned and huffed. Tsuna frowned at his friend. "Gokudera don't be mean!" he exclaimed. Gokudera apologized to Tsuna. Tsuna looked at the boy in front of him. "Ano, my name is Tsuna and that is Gokudera." He told the boy. The boy looked at all of them. "Oh nice to meet all of you." Zeru said smiling brightly. The atmosphere around them brightened. Zeru's smiled dropped and brought his face closer to Tsuna.

"HIIE?!" Tsuna exclaimed as they were only a few inches apart. Zeru looked at the pendant around Tsuna's neck. His eye's widened and looked at Tsuna. "What's my mom's pendant doing around your neck?" Zeru asked. Tsuna looked at him. "Ahh… well…my friend found it on the beach while digging the sand up." He said. Zeru smiled sadly. "So that's what my mom did." He said sadly. The three boys felt bad for Zeru. Yamamoto patted him on the back. "Don't be sad! Your mom probably did it to protect you." He said happily. Zeru thought about it. "What would be so dangerous that my mom had to hide me from the world for 14 years?" he asked. Yamamoto shrugged. "Something big?" he questioned. Gokudera rolled his eyes. "Well duh!"

Tsuna stared at the pendant "So this was your mom's." He said as he held the pendant up and observed it. Zeru stared hard at the pendant, as if hoping something would happen. Tsuna looked at him. "Where's your mom?" he asked. Zeru frowned. "I think she's no longer in this world." He said. Once again, the three boys pitied Zeru. Zeru smiled at them. "At least she's in a happier place, knowing that I was out of danger." He said.

Reborn kicked Tsuna in the head. "ITAI! REBORN! Why did you kick me? That hurts." He whined. Reborn pouted. "I was being forgotten." He said. Tsuna rolled his eyes. Tsuna gave Zeru some of his old clothes and watched as Zeru got dressed in the new clothes. Tsuna couldn't help but notice that Zeru was even skinnier then he was. Reborn went in front of the still changing boy. He seemed deep in thought. The boy didn't know how to put on the buttoned shirt and Yamamoto helped him out. "Well first we need to set him up to live with someone." Reborn said. Something in Reborn's eyes told Tsuna that it was a bad idea. "Who?" Tsuna asked. Reborn smirked. "Just let me take care of this." He said as he roundhouse kicked Tsuna. Gokudera rushed to Tsuna's side pleading him not to die. Reborn hit him with a Leon frying pan. "Shut up you're loud." He said.

Reborn hopped onto Tsuna's desk took out a piece of paper and started writing on it. After a few seconds of writing, he folded the paper in half and put it in Zeru's pocket. Zeru looked questioningly at him. Reborn motioned for him to follow him. He looked at Yamamoto. "When he wakes up tell him I took Zeru to his new home." He said as he left with Zeru.

-At Hibari's house-

Hibari laid on his couch sleeping soundly when suddenly his doorbell rang. Hibari readied his weapons to beat up whoever disturbed his rest. When he opened the door he saw Reborn standing there. Hibari smirked. "Oh it's the baby. Want to fight?" he asked preparing himself for a fight. Reborn waved his hands. "Maybe later. But I need a favor from you." Reborn said. Hibari looked at him strangely. "Not interested in helping." He said as he was ready to slam the door. Reborn smirked. "If you help I'll gladly fight you one day." He said. Hibari stopped and turned around, waiting to be told the favor. Reborn looked behind him. "You can come out now." He said as Hibari's glance shot up. Up against the wall peeking out at the two of them was a pale feminine male with white hair and green-blue eyes. Hibari stared back at him. Suddenly Reborn went up to the kid, grabbed the kid buy his jean legs and forcefully dragged him in front of Hibari. "You'll be taking care of this kid." Reborn said as he shoved Zeru into Hibari's arms and vanished. Hibari glared at the obviously frightened male in front of him. "Get inside or I'll bite you to death." He said coldly. Zeru looked at him oddly. Suddenly he remembered something and looked into his jean (technically Tsuna's jean,) pocket and took out a piece of paper and gave it to Hibari before going inside. Hibari opened the paper and read it.

Hibari,

This is Zeru. We don't know a lot about him but I assume that he would be a great fighter and a very helpful family member. Take good care of him. Why don't you enroll him into our school and put him in the same grade as Tsuna and the others so that they get to know him more? By the way, He needs clothes. Lend him some of yours, or go shopping with him. On the registration form, say that he is Tsuna's cousin.

Hibari was going to ignore the note until his eyes landed on the final print.

P.S Do more you do for me, do more I owe you.

Reborn

Hibari frowned and set the note down. Zeru was sitting on the couch waiting patiently for Hibari. When Hibari came into his view, Zeru smiled. Hibari frowned and brought his tonfa down onto Zeru's skull. Not too hard and not too gentle. A thin line of blood trailed down Ayagi's forehead and down his chin. Zeru was unfazed and smiled at Hibari. "Um…. My name's Zeru." He said pointing to himself. Hibari just glared at him. Ayagi just smiled and swung his legs. "W-what's your name? he asked, slightly scared by Hibari's intimidating look. Hibari started walking away. Zeru got up and followed him. Hibari brought Zeru to where he would be staying and shoved Zeru inside. Before he left he looked at Zeru. "Hibari Kyouya." He said coolly as he shut the door. Hibari walked to his room and took out a blank student registration sheet and filled it in.
