Chapter 1

The first time he discovered about his freaky power, he was six years old. It was another clumsy act of his when it happened. It was the time he was running away from his bullies and by certain freak of luck, he ended rounding 'bout the forest of Namimori where he found a deep body of water. It was purely accident that he slip and was about to fall and drown then maybe die and be forgotten by everyone. Then his hand touched the surface of water. His caramel doe eyes widen as the water freeze and turn into ice. And the supposed to be drowning and dying scenario never happen.

Snow started to fall around him as if feeling his distress. Tsuna was afraid, scared, name it, because even in his six year old mind, no child should be able to freeze a water and turn it into ice. He was scared, yes, but at the same time fascinated. This makes him different than any other child. He was different, a freak of nature. If his mother and twin brother found out about this then they'll hate him more. His disposition in their house is not as good as his good-for-nothing father think it is. He wasn't physically abuse by his mother but she neglects him as much as she could and only dote for her other son.

Tsuna deeply sigh. Everything that happened here should stay here. Keeping secrets may not be his forte but now he thinks he should.

...

For the past four years, Tsuna did everything he could to control and master his power without anyone's guidance. The least he could do is lost control in the middle of a crowd and be someone's guinea pig. So instead of continuing to study in Namimori, he bribes his mother? to enroll him in Kokuyo Elementary. He only has to say:

"Isn't it much better if I'm away from Natsu so I can't humiliate him no more by my dame-ness..."

And she actually has the gall to smile and pat his head while saying, "What a good idea Tsu-kun, at least you can use your brain sometimes..."

And he was transferred.

He can make much more excuses to get away from the people he called family. Tsuna knows, that with his power growing inside him, the colder he also gets. Every power has it drawback and every time he uses it, the colder he felt and less human he felt. It was small changes that no one paid attention to it, neither Nana nor Natsu.

In Kokuyo Elementary, he gains what he couldn't get in Namimori, Respect, and Peace of mind and Acknowledgement.

His grades that the teachers in Namimori magically thrashed, sky rocketed. He actually understands every academic thing easily, because his teachers on Kokuyo actually paid attention to their entire population of student. No exception. But no one in his house bothered to pay attention. So he never mentions a thing.

His teachers become more attentive of him when they realize that no one bothers to attend his parent meetings. All he did was told them that he was used to it and they paid more attention to his needs.

And one person said, "Hang in there, Tsunayoshi" and he smiled again after four years.

...

He was on his last year of elementary. Only a little bit more and he was out of Namimori.

Tsuna was ecstatic. A private school in Tokyo saw his academic potential and gave him a scholarship. It actually requires a parent's approval for him to able to go but his teachers' help him tampered what's needed and he's good to go.

At thirteen, he managed to secretly and perfectly control his power. It remained a secret between him and his self because truthfully, he can't really just tell anyone his secret. He wasn't afraid of it anymore but he wants to live a perfectly normal life. So he never used it outside of his training. His sharp mind is enough for him. At least he valued his title as an Academic Demon.

...

With his secret funds that he manage to earn from his part time jobs, Tsuna bought what he needed for his travel to Tokyo. He was instructed to pack what he just needed and a vehicle will come to get him tomorrow. Tomorrow.

Tsuna smiled. He will be out of this hell hole. He'll just tell his mother? Tomorrow. He doesn't really need to tell them early, because it wouldn't change anything,

He slept through the night peacefully knowing that he can finally live the life he wanted to be.

...

"Tsunayoshi, your quiet early, why are you not wearing your uniform?", Nana asked him, looking quite confused.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm actually moving to Tokyo today. I'm already enrolled in a school over there", he said coolly. He pulled out his traveling case and set it near the door, his bag pack lying comfortably in his back.

He heard a loud crash from the kitchen followed by a loud foot step from upstairs.

"What's that?! What's happening?!", Natsu frantic when he came down. Whatever question he has to ask was interrupted by Nana, who came out from the kitchen.

"W-why are you telling this now? You didn't even consult me about this!", she said with a panic in her usually low and sweet voice. Her face red, Tsuna mused, must be from anger. But he didn't know why. Shouldn't she be glad that his moving out. She practically never missed a day to tell him how useless he is.

"I thought it wasn't important since you're quite busy with him and I don't really need your approval with anything."

"Wait, what's going on here anyway? And why do you have a bag with you dame-Tsuna?", Natsu demanded.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm moving out. Anytime from now, my transport will be here. I suggest that you say whatever you have to say...", Tsuna cross his arms in his chest, his foot-covered-shoes thumping softly in the concrete floor.

"How dare you made a fool of us?! You're nothing like your brother. You're useless and stupid just as how they describe you. Why can't you be as good as my Na-kun. And besides I'm still your mother Tsunayoshi and you are not going-"

Before Nana could finish her sentence, the hallway they were in practically dropped in negative temperature.

"Shut up"

The mother and elder twin duo gasp at the cold voice of Tsuna. The threat lingering behind the two words was actually quite visible.

"Whatever rights you have as mother is long gone, you hear me. You may have given birth to me but that's far as it. You were never a mother to me."

Natsu intervene as he saw his mother's miserable face. "Oi, dame-Tsuna, how could you just tell Mama that? Aren't you thankful that she looked after your useless self? You're just a pathetic wannabe. She knows that you can't survive out there with how dame and stupid you are. She's doing you a favor!"

"Anything you say won't change my mind. I don't care about your antics. You've live for eight years ignoring my existence. Then you can do it again for another decade. I won't be coming here for a long time, even holidays so be glad." And with that he walked out of their life without looking back.
