Chapter 1: (Abandonment and Secrets)

Tsunayoshi Sawada; age 5, the first daughter of Iemitsu Sawada and Nana Sawada; was a cute child with big brown chocolate eyes, plum lip, and had a brown spiky gravity defying hair. She's been a lonely child, never been love or given by a parental love by her parents. They always ignored her and just put their attention to her other sister; Kyoko Sawada; age 4, had an orange hair and eyes, a child with a hideous face and mind, who always treated her other sister cruelly.

Kyoko always put an innocent mask just to please the people who are around her; however behind that innocent mask was a hideous and ugly face existed in it. She always put an act in front of other people and told them that Tsuna wasn't really her real sister.

Tsuna was a kind and cute child.

But her parents didn't let her go outside at daytime; however they let her go out at night because of a few people who were wandering at night time. They didn't even care what happens to her at night. They didn't even let her meet someone who visited them.

Tsuna, who was treated cruelly by her parents whenever she disobeyed their orders; felt lonely; suffering alone in her room by herself, doesn't have anything or something; because it would always be given to her younger sister.

It just like...yes.

It was just like; they treated her like some kind of beast; an animal.

Whenever visitors came to their house; Iemitsu and Nana always introduced their second daughter and locked Tsuna in her room and never let their guest to ever see her for some reasons.

One day, Tsuna; who became 6 years old, decided to take a peek of their visitors who is coming today because her parents were making a fuss over their guest who's going to visit them, and decided to disobey her parents order for once.

As soon as the guests arrived; Tsuna, who has been watching from the window of her room; saw an old man with gray hair. Beside him was a boy with a golden blond hair and has gentle, yet strong willed, blue eyes.

Tsuna watched her parents greeted the two guests and led them to the living room.

As soon as they arrived at the living room; Tsuna took the moment to go and see them. She went down and hid her figure by hiding behind the wall and peeked to see their visitor and tried to leave as soon as possible without them noticing her. However her plan didn't seem to go smoothly as she planned beforehand.

The boy with blond hair seemed to notice her, peaking at them behind the wall and decided to walk towards the girl.

"Why are you hiding there?" the boy asked as he started to walk towards her direction and this seems to take the adults and her sister attention to her as well to where she hides.

"Hey, what's your name?" asked the boy when he stopped; smiling in front of Tsuna.

"..." Tsuna didn't answer since she didn't know how to respond; because this is the first time that had happened to her.

A boy just talked to her.

Adults

"Iemitsu," the old man said in a -somewhat- bit serious tone.

"Yes, Sir Timoteo?" Iemitsu asked; a hint of fear in his voice could be sensed at his reply. Afraid that his boss could only be serious when something is serious.

"Iemitsu; you said to me that you only have one daughter. But why is there a girl who looked just like your wife here?" Timoteo asked. Timoteo was shocked beyond not knowing that Iemitsu has another daughter.

From what he knew; he only thought that Iemitsu had only one child; and that was Kyoko; the one that Iemitsu had been trying to persuade him on putting his daughter as Timoteo's son's fiancée, the next Vongola boss' wife.

Iemitsu, who'd plan on taking this chance of making his dear Kyoko to be the next Vongola boss' fiancée, was destroyed by that brat.

'I kill that annoying jinchuriki brat when this is over!' Iemitsu cursed as he remained silent; not answering his boss' question.

He looked at his wife, who had been trying to keep her anger by surfacing it with a kind smile. Nana had known his husband's true job and that is, as the leader of CEDEF. She also knew that the Sawada family, her family, had the tradition or (should I say) had the chance that their daughter could be the next fiancée of the soon to-be Vongola Decimo; and had planned this for their dear Kyoko on making the next Vongola boss' wife.

"B-boss, actually she's not our true daughter...W-we... um...adopted her b-because our Kyoko-chan wants a sister...hahaha." Iemitsu lied; because he didn't want to reveal the secret that he and her wife had been keeping the brat from anyone.

"..." Timoteo just looked at his subordinate with a bit of suspicion; thinking that there was something odd about what Iemitsu had just said to him, but decided not to pry any further; however he'll try to investigate it from the shadows.

Timoteo then looked at the clock and saw that it's about time they have to leave.

"Sorry, Iemitsu but we have to go we have an appointment to go...sorry." Timoteo bowed and called his son.

"Giotto; it's time to go."

Back to the kids

Tsuna just kept quiet and soon an awkward silent came between them. Tsuna, however, was about to answer the boy's question but got interrupted by her sister, Kyoko.

"Her name is Tsuna, Giotto." Kyoko replied it with innocent smile, hiding her anger to Tsuna and decided just to take this chance of being an honest, innocent little girl to her target as so he could choose her as his fiancée.

However, Giotto seemed to notice the girl's lie and decided to act as if he didn't; but one thing he had decided immediately upon the girl 'what a great con artist you are miss and a really spoiled one, too.' he thought.

"So your name is Tsuna. Nice to meet you," Giotto said to Tsuna; purposely ignoring Kyoko's presence. Kyoko, who seemed to notice this; just put patience on it; not wanting to show her evil side, of course to her target and just smile.

"Oh, Giotto, you know she not really my true sister and not really a blood relative of mine." Kyoko continued. "Actually, I'm the one who asked my parents to adopt her... erm... I'm really kind right?" Kyoko smiled.

'What the heck are you?! Putting an innocent act?! And what was that adopting thing you just said? How can you just say it so boldly?' Giotto then decided to just follow his plan and ignored the girl again.

"So Tsuna; how about we play outside, huh? Where no one would disturb us," Giotto emphasized the word as if saying Kyoko was a really disturbing to them but also for some reason, he also wanted to know Tsuna more and be with her; but that wish didn't happened; since he was called by his father; telling that they have to go, and grimed at the thought that he would be away now to his -maybe- destined love.

Tsuna, who has been watching at the scene; can't help but to form a small smile at the corner of her lips and wishing that she could be more with Giotto; but that thought soon vanished because Giotto's father called him.

As soon as Giotto and Timoteo left the house; Iemitsu grabbed Tsuna's collar and slapped her in the face.

"YOU BRAT, DIDN'T I TELL YOU NOT TO DISOBEY OUR ORDERS?!" Iemitsu shouted and threw his first daughter to the floor really hard; making Tsuna cry from the pain she received.

She should have already been familiar with the pain but that one was really painful. Sometimes her parents only hit her with slaps, hitting her with his father's belt and lock her to her room and don't even give her food sometimes. However this one was more different.

They were more violent than ever; her mother, who let her anger out, immediately kicked her in her stomach as soon as her husband threw her to the floor; making Tsuna cough and cried harder.

"You annoying jinchuriki! If only grandfather didn't give you to us; we should've been living happily right now!" Nana yelled.

"Kyaa!" Tsuna screamed at the pain her mother was giving, kicking her harder.

"You good for nothing child! You monster!"

"M-mother… w-what... w-why did you ca-call m-me l-like t-that?" Tsuna asked as she clenched her stomach.

"You're a monster! If only those damn 9 foxes didn't seal their selves in your body; you should've been a normal child!" Nana replied as she slapped her left cheek.

Nana then grabbed a stick and hit Tsuna with it a few times, while Kyoko smirked at her. Enjoying at scene her mother and father hitting her sister. 'Heh! That for stealing my chance becoming Giotto's fiancée!'

Then Nana said, "it's your fault, father died! You monster!"

Those words stabbed Tsuna hard in the heart. She loved her grandfather very much because he was the only one that comforted her when he came to visit her. However one day; her grandfather died suddenly, and she didn't know why; but when her mother said that, it's like she really did killed her grandfather when Nana had said those words but…

"NO! I DIDN'T KILL GRANDFATHER! GRANDFATHER SAID THAT I'M A GOOD KID AND I-I WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO HIM!" Tsuna yelled.

"No! You're the one who killed him! You, jinchuriki!" Tsuna tensed at the words Nana had said to her, the word "jinchuriki", Tsuna knew what it means and that's...

Tsuna then stood up and started running away from her house; from her parents.

As soon as her leg couldn't run anymore; she ended up stopping at the park and started to cry out all of her hearts. When she had finally calmed down; a man came to her and said, "Do you like to come with me instead, little girl?"

Done! Hope you like it!

Oh and the next chapter, I'll explain what Tsuna have inside her! He he he! It's a secret! If you thought it's like Naruto! Well guess it's a lot more different! She'll have more and it's a different story! Just wait for the next chap!
