Reaper: YO~! ReaperofDarkness here, how are you all doing? This is going to be my second fanfic for Katekyo Hitman Reborn, so I hope you are happy. This story will be a collection of those childhood essays you had to write when you were in elementary school. Do you remember those? Goodness, I hated those. XD
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN KHR OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. SADLY, IF I DID, TSUNA WOULD BE A UKE AND ALL THE MEN WOULD BE GAY FOR HIM. : D Don't we all wish for that?
Oh, and XD I noticed something that is Hetaila influenced. I wonder if you catch it. : D
.
Tsuna stared at the paper, the assignment written on the board. It was like being in first grade again, having to write a little essay.
Family.
They had to write what they thought a family was. It didn't help that it was parents' day, so Nana, along with the children and Biachi, were in the back watching with a smile.
And why the hell was Hibari and Chrome in the classroom as well?
"Sawada, stop spacing out and continue to write the essay," the teacher snapped harshly, already showing his hate for the student. Tsuna jumped, nearly dropping his pencil.
"H-hai!" Tsuna squealed and continued to write, before he paused. A family? They had to write such a hard thing. He looked around and saw Gokudera had his head buried in his arms and Yamamoto was staring off into space.
Tsuna looked at his blank paper and gave a frustrated huff, scratching his head.
What was a family, anyways?
Tsuna mused on the thought.
To him, when he thought of a family, his Guardians came to mind.
"That's not right," Tsuna muttered to himself as he tapped his pencil, his eyebrows knitting together as he thought.
On second thought, Tsuna mused, Gokudera is like the overprotective cousin, while Yamamoto is the happy-go-lucky big brother. Ryohei is like the extreme big-brother that you make your role-model, and Lambo is the little brother to watch out for.
Tsuna smiled.
Chrome is like the little sister you just love to death and protect, while Ken and Chikusa are the sister-complex brothers that love Chrome to death. Hibari is the scary mommy of the group, and Mukuro is the flirty dad who has a child-complex. I-Pin in the cousin who always plays with Lambo, and Fuuta is the older brother of I-Pin.
Dino is Hibari's brother, and also the tease of the family, who has his clumsy moments. Reborn is the grandfather of the family, while Biachi is his younger wife.
Tsuna almost burst out into a fit of giggles at this.
Kyoko and Haru are Chrome's best friends, almost sisters, and then we have the Varia.
Xanxus is the other brother of Hibari, and has a superior complex. Levi is Xanxus's son who has a dad-complex. Squalo is Xanxus's wife an also the sharp-tongue 'woman' of the family. Lussuria is the crush of Ryohei, as well as Levi's 'sister'. Mammon is the baby of Squalo and Xanxus. And Bel is the spoiled son who thinks he is a prince.
Tsuna was about to think more when he felt a piece of chalk hit his forehead. He blinked.
"Tsuna, since who seem to be smiling like an idiot, why don't you read your essay in front of the whole class," he spoke and Tsuna saw Reborn smirk from his spot next to Nana.
"U-uh….hai," Tsuna stood up and walked to the front of the class, gulping as everyone stared at him, more of the stares mocking and taunting.
"Ano….eto….a family….when I think of a family…" he trailed off, not knowing what to say. He was staring at a blank piece of paper, for Kami-sama's sake.
"T-to me…a family aren't made up of blood relatives," Tsuna continued, and this caught everyone's interest. Gokudera's head snapped up from his arms and Yamamoto fixed his gaze on Tsuna. Tsuna stuttered.
"A-a family is a group of people, not related to blood, who work together and learn to deal with each other. Whether the mama of the family is a blood-thirsty hell-spawn, or the papa of the group is an insane, pineapple-influenced psycho-path," he spoke and Hibari and Chrome perked at this. Reborn smiled behind his hat, a shadow casting over his face.
"A-and….they learn to deal with one's weaknesses and strengths, they teach them something when they are wrong or lost. They protect them and help them at their worst times. They help them deal with life, when they were complete strangers at first," Tsuna spoke and every student stared at him in shock.
"T-to me, a family is a group of strangers that meet and grow closer than any family has ever grown before. They are people from all over the world, whether it is Italy, or Germany, or Japan…they meet and they form bonds. They can also meet and have a bad start…wanting to cause them harm…but they get to know each other and they also become part of the family," Tsuna blinked and gulped.
"A normal family consists of a mom, father, grandparents, and siblings, right?" He asked and everyone nodded their head.
"Well….my family has a Spartan grandparent and their young lover, two insane, hell-created parents who want to kill each other, a cute sister, about seven brothers, and a messed up branch of uncles and aunts, as well as cousins. It doesn't help when they all either love each other, hate each other, or are determined to serve them as their right-hand man," Tsuna said with a little laugh and smiled to Gokudera.
"A family is full of people who make every day filled with fun and love, or maybe blood-shed and near-death experiences," he trailed off and sweat dropped while Yamamoto burst out laughing.
"But…that is a family," he looked down and crumpled his paper.
"A family that gets along, whether in a good way or bad way…..they still come together as a family," Tsuna spoke and bowed. The room was silent.
"Dame-Tsuna, what a stupid essay~," Reborn spoke as he hopped onto the teacher's desk. The teacher jumped.
"But, it sure does show the truth," he spoke and saw Gokudera, Yamamoto, Chrome, and Hibari looking at the ground, a thoughtful look in their eyes.
"By the way, that Spartan comment is going to get you a lot of training today," Reborn said with a smirk. Tsuna blinked before sweat dropping.
"Hai, hai, grandpa," Tsuna said with a slight joking tone. Nana smiled proudly.
He really is surrounded by a family, ne? Nana thought with a tender look in her eyes.
"Hai~! Tsu-kun! What a cute essay!" Nana said, bouncing around. Lambo said something rude, causing I-Pin to scold him. The classmates watched as Hibari huffed and turned, glaring at Tsuna before opening his mouth.
"That comment about being a mother…Herbivore….." he hissed out before turning his glare to Chrome, who jumped.
"Hmph. Besides, the Taboo Word fits the mother better," he spoke before walking out.
"Mukuro-sama says the same for you," Chrome muttered before blushing.
"Bossu," Chrome spoke wit a cute tilt of her head.
"Mukuro-sama agrees with the 'cute sister' part very much," she said with a small, flustered smile. Tsuna blushed slightly and nodded his head, laughing slightly. Kyoko smiled.
"And I bet I'm Chrome's sister?" Kyoko joined in, all of them ignoring the brooding teacher in the background.
"Hn," Tsuna said with a nod.
"JYUUDAIME!" Gokudera launched himself at Tsuna, hugging him with all is might.
"You make me sooooo happy to be your right-hand man!" He cried out while Yamamoto pulled Gokudera away from Tsuna.
"Yeah Tsuna, that was an awesome essay. I like it," he said seriously wit a smile on his face.
"Well, that is my family," Tsuna spoke with a soft smile on his face.
