Eccentric The Unique Maiden: Hello everyone this my first attempt on writing a story about Yu-Gi-Oh! meets Katekyo Hitman Reborn. And I guess my first story to be posted since the rest that I write were all a bunch of crap and I have no choice but to delete it and start a new.
Nonniecel: Good evening everyone and I am back and still living baby! Let me do the disclaimer Mistress!
E.U.M: Alright if you must.
Nonniecel: Eccentric the Unique Maiden doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh and Katekyo Hitman Reborn for they all belong to their respective owners.
Selinnone: Can I speak the warnings too Mistress?
E.U.M: If you may.
Selinnone: Warnings: this is shonen-ai which means boy and boy love, beware of Ooc-ness, Bad Words, crappy grammars and misspellings.
E.U.M: Now that will be all.
Summary: In Katekyo Hitman Reborn this is set after 10 years into the Future Arc (Millefiore Arc). In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters this is set after Waking of the Dragons Arc (Doma Arc). When three months ago a strange phenomenon had shook the world causing a massive earthquake to be erupted (it's because of Tsuna and his friends returned from the Future) and causes strange climates to befall on earth (thanks to the battle with the Orichalcos). When Tsuna returns from his 'picnic trip' his mother received a letter from a friend whose son is suffering from a strange illness called Separation of the Spirit.
Tsuna Sawada and his Family came back from the past, Ten years ago, after they defeated Byakuran. The Arcobalenos had given the Vongola Famiglia three different gifts. The first gift is to seal the Mare Rings from the past, the second gift is to those who had fought with the Vongola family in the Future have the memories send to their past-selves, and lastly the third gift is that the Vongola Boss and his Family have their Box animals with them (but as their Rings now). When they came back from the past, under the disguise of 'being lost into the forest while having a picnic' Tsuna's mother received a mysterious letter which causes her to leave Namimori to go to a city name Domino for two weeks. Tsuna discovers that his mother has a friend name Yuuna who have a son name Yuugi, which he is his childhood friend.
Right after their latest adventure in California where they fought Dartz and the mysterious powers of the Orichalcos Yuugi and the gang returns to Domino City were they rest and spent their time in relaxation. But little did they all know Yuugi has been suffering a mysterious illness when he and his Spirit, Yami, got separate because of Yami losing the duel to the Orichalcos having Yuugi soul taken. That is were it all started but troubles will soon follow when the King of Games meet the 10th Boss of Vongola.

Chapter 1: Tuna sees a Starfish sick
It was bright sunny day in mid-June were the children of Namimori went out and play. The children manage to convince their parents to let them have fun on the park and enjoy the wonders of nature. You can see two women standing on a small hillside carrying their respective sons in their arms slowly walking towards each other.
Nana had been sending letters to her close friend Yuuna for many years now and they had been planning for months on wanting to see each other face to face.
A young boy with bright brown-orange eyes held his mother's hand nervously while starring at the other woman who held another boy in her arms. Sawada Tsunayoshi but also known as 'Tsuna' curiously eyed the other boy before he ducks his head when a pair of purple-blue eyes stared back at him with the same sense of curiosity radiates from those orbs.
"Tsu-kun don't be shy I want you to meet someone special, someone very dear to me." Sawada Nana, but better known as Maman to some people, encourage her son to come out from his hiding spot from his mother's back while gently coaxed him to meet a friend of hers'.
A giggle was heard from the other woman as she carefully placed her son on the ground to look at Nana's son and smiled warmly at him.
"Now don't be afraid I am friend of your mother's, my name is Mutou Yuuna but just call me Auntie Yuuna instead."The woman with soft lavender eyes and long black obsidian hair that reaches to her mid-back spoke softly to her friend's child.
Then she placed her hand on her son's small shoulder, the boy with pretty purple-blue eyes and said, "And this is my adorable son Yuu-chan but his full name is Mutou Yuugiou."
The boy, Yuugiou, wrinkles his nose in disgust and said, "Don't call me that Mommy it's sound so weird!" then he turns to Tsuna and gave him an identical smile that matches like his own mother and said with a child-like tone, "call me Yuugi instead."
Nana managed to bring Tsuna out in the open to let the two guests see him nervously fidgets while giving them a hasty bow, a tradition for every Japanese people to show respect to outsiders or in this case a friend of his mother's.
"I-I am Sawada Tsunayoshi but you can call me Tsuna instead for short." Tsuna glanced up at the woman and seeing her smiling at him kindly made him calm down somewhat knowing that this kind, pretty lady isn't so bad.
The boy Yuugi took his hand in his and grinned at him with brightness that much the sun above the sky. His eyes sparkled as they somewhat glow with emotion that Tsuna detect to be happiness and joy.
This made the young Tsuna speechless realizing that it was him who brought those feelings into the boy's eyes. It was him, Dame-Tsuna, the No-Good for nothing boy had caused this emotion to appear into the other boy's eyes.
He made someone happy today.
"Then let's be friends Tsu-kun!" Yuugi giggles happily as he drags the boy out from their mothers as they both went to play around the park of Namimori.
Seeing the surprise look on his new friend's faces Yuugi stop for a minute and asked nervously, "Is it okay for me to call you Tsu-kun, Tsu-kun?"
Tsuna shook his head to snap himself from his daze and gave Yuugi a friendly grin, "Sure! I don't mind at all, then if it is okay for me to call you Yuu-chan?"
Yuugi grinned too as he nodded his head enthusiastically.
The two women smiled warmly at their children as they interact with one another, getting to know one another and started to become good friends just like Nana and Yuuna did when they were younger.
"It looks like Tsu-kun has finally made a friend. Oh I am so proud of him!" Nana beamed as both adults went to find a bench to sit on as they both observe the two boys play a game of tag.
Yuuna stayed silent but her eyes shine with laughter as she wholeheartedly agrees to her friend Nana.
"Yuu-chan was excited to meet your son Nana-chan and look at them now they are particularly best friends!" Yuuna waved her hand in front of them to emphasis her point on how happy that their sons are, as they now play a game of pretend instead of playing tag as they realized that they are only just the two of them, never in their lives to find their children to be happy with one another.
Nana sighs as she closed her eyes and let the soft rays of the sun bathe her skin.
"You know Yuuna-chanTsu-kun may want to hide it but I know that my boy isn't strong. Seeing him being bullied from other children, the lack of friends, I can see it with my own eyes but I try to pretend not to notice it. Tsu-kun tries his best to hide the pain and sadness within as to not let me worry."Nana softly stared at her friend with pain sadness.
"Oh Nana-chan." Yuuna gently touch her friend's hand.
"And I want to say thank you Yuuna-chan. This has made Tsu-kun very happy to finally found a friend who won't criticize him or reject him for being different." Nana's eyes glisten with gratitude that tears started to form in her eyes. "I hate to see my Tsu-kun suffer in silence, to be alone with no one to care and to understand him."
Yuuna shook her head, "Your welcome Nana-chan this is something that our boys have in common."
Nana eyes widen slightly.
Yuuna softly smiles at her, sadly telling her that she too felt the same feeling that she felt towards her son, her son had suffered the same thing that Tsuna had suffered.
"He is small for his age you see, very small and that his odd strange looks had causes unwanted attention to him. He is no good at sports, you can say that he isn't physically fit and that's why some ill-mannered children had seen to it to bully my son for their amusement." Yuuna's kind eyes harden for minute before they went soft went Nana held her hand gently but firmly, showing her support and understanding.
"This made Yuu-chan so lonely that all he wanted was a friend to be there for him and not abandon him." Yuuna then watch to see their boys lying down on the grassy ground exhausted as they rest when a soft breeze blew in their direction cooling them and calming them down.
Then she looked at Nana and said in a calm voice, "I, too, want to say thank you. My son is no longer alone for he has a friend who accepted him for who he is and not something to be afraid off or to be hated for his strange appearance."
They share a small smile to one another knowing that they are both thankful for each other.
"Mama!"
"Mommy!"
Two bundles of brown and black hairs were dumped into their laps causing a soft surprise gasp to be uttered in their mouths. Eyes both wide they looked down to see their children grinning happily at them. Their eyes shine with happiness, their faces flushed giving them a healthy look as they sat on their mothers laps and give them a hug and a kiss.
"We love you!" They both said at the same time.
Both mothers turn to look at each other with confusion in their eyes and then at their children.
"Well thank you Tsu-kun." Nana hugged her energetic son and kissed his chubby cheek.
"Thank you Yuu-chan." Yuuna gave her son an Eskimo-kiss and softly kissed him on the forehead.
"Now what is this all about boys?" Nana asked their children wanting to know what brought this on.
Tsuna and Yuugi turn to each other and gave their mothers identical mischievous smiles.
"We just wanted to thank you for everything, and the things that you had done for us." Tsuna started.
"And we love you for the things that you had given us to make us happy." Yuugi continues to say right after Tsuna.
"We love you." They said together in unison.
Nana and Yuuna now fully understand the meaning of their words.
"You had given us a friend." Yuugi said with a smile on his cherub face.
"And we are happy for it." Tsuna smiles happily as he pecks his mother on the cheek, returning the affection.
Both mothers felt an emotion that they knew fully well as they both hug their boys, holding them in their arms.
Tsuna and Yuugi hugged their mothers back for it all thanks to them that they finally found each other.
The friendship between Sawada and Mutou started to bind one another creating a bond that will never break no matter how many years of separation they will had to face. No matter how many years had passed they will still remain as friends.
[Eight years later]
A young man with chocolate brown hair and amber eyes stared at the picture in his hand. His mother had given him a picture of a boy and a woman. Amber eyes stared at the picture in confusion then at his mother who smiled at him expectantly.
"Um, Mom who are these people? I don't recall seeing them here or any of the other pictures that we had." the fifteen year old Sawada Tsunayoshi or Tsuna for short, asked his mother carefully not wanting to let her know how impatient he is for he wanted to start on his studying for an upcoming test tomorrow with his Spartan Tutor Reborn and be done with it, not sitting her browsing some baby pictures.
"That Tsu-kun is my old friend Mutou Yuuna-chan and her son Yuugiou or Yuu-chan your childhood friend." at the look of confusion on her son's face shows that her son didn't remember anything about this woman or the boy when he was little. Though it is expected, Nana thought, Tsu-kun was only four at that time he can barely remember the boy, Yuugi, for they only met for one week every summer, Nana sighs sadly, then that incident happened, were Yuu-chan turned eight, stopped all those meetings that she had with her friend Yuuna altogether.
That was eight years ago.
"Do you remember them or better yet do you remember Yuu-chan?"
"Yuu-chan?" Tsuna ponder at that name feeling something familiar and warm when he tasted the words and spoke them into his mouth.
"You may not remember him Tsu-kun but his mother was a friend of mine, she was my best friend but things change and she and her son must go back and never return." Nana said in calm serious tone.
Tsuna stared at his mother with a confuse look on his face as he sat there tense on their family couch sensing something off from his mother's tone. Her personality suddenly changes from the bright, ditzy and clueless mother to a woman with a cold, serious look and a calming persona.
Maybe it had something to do with that letter that she is now clenching with aggression.
His Hyper Intuition or whatever Reborn called wasn't always wrong when it comes to these things.
There is something wrong with this picture and it all started with that stupid mail that his mother received two week. When his mother received the letter she cried out in despair and anguish as she shut herself in the master's bedroom. This had caused the children to look at the shut door in shock and confusion before they run off to find their 'big brother' Tsuna-nii to try and solve the problem that their mother had been having.
Tsuna too was dumbfounded by her mother's out-of-character as she came out from the room three hours later and went back to her bright normal self but a bit dark for you can see a gloom cloud hovering above her head, the letter clench tightly in her hand.
He asked his mother what's wrong only to receive the fakest smile that he had ever seen on his mother's face. She said something about a friend of hers in trouble which she told him to watch over the kids while she head out to her and dad's room and start packing.
She went back to her room to grab her suit case that is filled with the necessities that she need and already got dress for her trip. She kissed the children and went to kiss her son and asked him to watch over the house while she was gone.
And with that she waved her children with a smile on her face and left.
But her smile had already lost its shine.
She had been gone for two weeks and on the seventh days she returned looking tired and worn out. Her eyes were blood shot and dark circles started form for she hadn't slept a wink. Her face was pale when Tsuna opened the door to look at his mother and hugged her tightly as he grabbed the luggage and brought her in.
The children, I-pin and Lambo yelled happily to find their mother home and went to give her a hugged as Fuuta helped Tsuna carry the luggage to the living room.
When everything settles Nana asked Tsuna if it is alright to have a private talk tomorrow once school was over which Tsuna nodded. The next day Tsuna returns home and called towards his mother as he placed he shoes onto the side and went towards his room were Reborn awaits.
As he went up he almost forgotten yesterdays conversation with his mother when he was hit by one of Reborn's inhumane kicks on the back of his neck, which was suppose to render him paralyze but since he isn't an ordinary person so he didn't get paralyze but instead a full blown pain.
Where the full blown pain had made him realize that his mother wanted to talk to him.
And when he heard his mother calling him he turns to Reborn to tell him that there is something that his mother needed to talk to that is very important to her so they had to postpone their studying. Reborn just tip his fedora hat to let the shadows shrouded over his eyes as he frowns telling his Dame-Student to go down there and hurry up for nothing will stop him from letting Tsuna study for the test, no excuses.
On which Tsuna chuckles nervously as he headed towards the door in a very fast speed to avoid getting shot at when Reborn points his green-Leon gun at him.
And so here he is sitting on their family couch as his mother gave him a picture of a woman and a boy telling him if he remembered these people.
"A little." Tsuna mumbles as he tries to remember the face of the boy who had a strange eye-color and a weird hairdo. "Why is there something that I should know about?" he asked his mother with concern, years of battling with crazy maniacs-mafia people, homicidal-mafia students who are out for his blood and the apocalyptic future were he found out that he was dead had caused him to developed a sense of paranoia that enables him to be wary and always on guard.
And seeing his mother looking detach this is not an exemption of his everyday, not-so-normal life that is now morphed into one this Mafia Business that is called Vongola Famiglia.
Nana closed her eyes as if she was in pain, which she might be for all he knew. Tsuna cursed silently in his head, there is something going on here and this had something to do with this letter and this people that were on this picture.
Tsuna went to move to his mother's side as he gently placed his hand on to hers were she is still clenching the letter. Concerned for his mother he softly whispered to her and said: "is this something to do with this letter then?"
Nana didn't say anything as she wordlessly unclenches her hand were the letter is and gave it to her son.
Tsuna took the scrunch up paper were he properly tries to read the words that was written. The letter was a bit crumble because of the abuse that was received by his mother. It was hard for him to understand so he flatten it and smoothen the wrinkles to try to get a better reading of it and started to read the contents that were written in this letter.
It said:
Dear Nana-chan,
Hello my dear friend I haven't heard of you for quite some time now. I guess the 'incident' eight years ago had me shaken up a bit. Forgive me if the promise that we had between us to meet each other and let our sons become friends to one another were unfulfilled because of this 'circumstances.' For years I hadn't write back to your letters and I apologize for it for there are things that I can't fully comprehend before and even now.
I am scared.
The 'incident' was worse when I realized my son's 'condition' and that I finally understand and accepted the fate of my son just like you did to yours Nana-chan. Three months ago my son returned right after the trip to California with his friends. Remember the sudden phenomena that spread world wide around the news? The strange in climates that had happen at the same time around the globe…well it has something to do with 'it'. My son returned emotionally damaged.
Nana-chan I don't know what to do! My son, my beautiful baby boy…
He is suffering from some unknown illness and only my Father and I that knew about this illness. His friends, I don't have the heart to tell them so they were left in the dark. He was shivering telling that he was cold and no matter how many times I try to warm him up by wrapping him with warm blankets, turning on the thermostat to change the temperature or bathing him with warm water none of these things work for my son!
I am crying now and I need help.
Every night his suffering with nightmares that had happen at California which he didn't tell me, wait he did but not all of it he left a few parts from the story that he tells me to not make me worry. But this is making me worry!
He is hurt and there is nothing I can do to stop it.
This is beyond any medical help, if you asked I try on getting him to the hospital to have him checked but the doctors too don't know the answer to cure this sudden illness. I am at loss.
Utterly lost.
To some people my son is perfectly normal when he went for school or hang out with his friends (he is not sick with fever but sick in heart-emotionally and I guess mentally too), he acts normal for all the traces of his suffering seems to vanished but we know the truth, Father told me that Yugi is deeply affected by the things that happened in California but it wont be visible to the naked eye to see only those who had seen and experience the suffering of being separate from your heart and soul from you could fully understand it.
His friends might have some clue but they don't know what it is. I know they are worried too.
I need a support from a friend who understands the pain of a mother whose child undergoes heavy trials that there is nothing that we, mothers, could do.
Please come to Domino Japan I will give my home address.
In the Middle street of Domino City
Kame Game Shop
7th Street of Heart
I need you my dear friend for you're the only person who I can trust too.
Love Mutou Yuuna
Tsuna gave out a silent surprise gasp. This, this is something different and alarming. His mother's friend this woman Yuuna, seeking a friend support from his mother on helping her balance her emotions because of her son's sudden illness. 'Emotionally and mentally unbalanced?' Tsuna thought as he re-read again and he nodded slightly to confirm it.
"Mom is-is Yuugi alright?" Tsuna looked at his mother worriedly. Even though he didn't know about this person Yuugi very well but on what his mother said and the letter keeps on reminding him that she and her were close friends and that they once promised one another to make their sons developed the same relationship just like their mothers.
Nana was silent as she avoided eye contact with him.
"Mom?"
"Yuu-chan is fine." Her mother spoke softly. "I went to their home that has their address written in this letter and to see it with my own eyes. That, that little Yuu-chan is al-alright."
Her mother stutters a bit as she tries to hold the tears of sadness and grieve at bay. She had already cried two times now, one from the letter of the bad news that her friend's son had suffered and the second one is when she went to the little game shop that was once filled with warmth and love but now became cold and desolate because of the condition that Yuugi was in had broken down her mental will when she arrive only to see the broken state of the Mutou family.
There she cried with her friend.
"Yuu-chan was physically fine you can't even tell if he is sick or not." Nana's eyes were clouded with slight grieve. "But if one were to look and know were to find they can see that his eyes were dead and empty."
"Mom?" Tsuna became to worry now. Was Yuugi heavily damage from the trip to California?
"He is nothing but a shell of his former self." And with those last words the last final restraint that she had put herself with finally broken as she cried. She couldn't imagine it if it were her dear Tsu-kun, knowing that he is apart of the Vongola Famiglia, and yes she knew all about it though her beloved son and husband doesn't know it yet, there might be a time were Tsu-kun will also suffer the same fate that Yuu-chan is now suffering with.
The cold Separation of the Spirit.
That's what Yuuna-chan had called it, the sickness that Yuu-chan is suffering from.
