Hello, everyone! I had this story up a while ago under the title of Disturbia. I decided to take it down to edit it. Please review and let me know what you think!

"You guys really didn't have to come." Tsuna said nervously. He'd really hoped that he would be able to slip away and go to the airport himself, but of course Reborn had found out and told Gokudera and Yamamoto. Somehow, Ryohei had found out. He'd decided to tag along and Kyoko had come with him.

"It's no trouble, Tsuna-san." Haru said with a bright smile. "I can't wait to meet your cousin! I'm sure he's absolutely adorable."

Gokudera scoffed. "Men aren't adorable, stupid woman."

Haru glared at Gokudera. "A five year old isn't a man."

A short distance away, a young boy watched the group nervously. His short brown hair was mussed from the long flight, and his equally brown eyes were drooping from exhaustion. He shifted his small suitcase from hand to hand nervously. He'd seen his older cousin when he'd first gotten off the airplane. He'd been so excited, he'd started to run over. It was then he'd seen the rest of the group, and he'd hesitated.

"Chiaossu."

Shuuchi let out a small squeak and spun around. He was surprised to find a toddler standing beside him, wearing a suit and fedora hat. "A baby?"

The toddler looked Shuuchi up and down. "Are you Sawada Shuuchi?"

"Yes." Shuuchi said, quickly bowing politely to the toddler. "Are you lost? Do you need help finding your mom?"

"There you are, Shuuchi!" Tsuna came over with the others closely following.

Shuuchi briefly forgot about the toddler. He spun around and hugged his cousin tightly. "Tsuna-ni!"

Tsuna grinned and hugged Shuuchi back. "How are you doing? Mama said you'd be staying with us for a while…" He patted Shuuchi's wild hair down when he felt the little boy's shoulders sag. "It's okay. We can talk about it later. Mama is really excited to see you. She's making your favorite dinner tonight."

"Chicken!" Shuuchi cheered excitedly, his frown quickly leaving his face. "Nana always makes the best chicken!" He peered hesitantly around Tsuna when he heard one of the people laughing. "Tsuna-ni, are these your friends?"

"Introduce us, Dame-Tsuna." The toddler kicked Tsuna in the knees.

Tsuna laughed nervously, trying his best to ignore Shuuchi's terrified face. "Shuuchi, this is Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei-nisan, Kyoko-chan, Haru-chan, and Reborn."

Yamamoto grinned, reaching over and ruffling Shuuchi's hair. "You look like a mini Tsuna. Welcome to Namimori. Hey, Gokudera, doesn't he look like a mini Tsuna?"

Gokudera glowered at Yamamoto, chewing angrily on the cigarette in his mouth. "Don't talk about Juudaime Jr. so casually!"

"Tsuna-ni, what are they talking about?" Shuuchi asked curiously.

Tsuna chuckled nervously. "Well, I better get Shuuchi home. Mama's really excited to see him. I'll see all of you at school tomorrow!" He quickly grabbed Shuuchi's hand and pulled him through the crowded airport.

Shuuchi glanced over his shoulder. "Tsuna-ni, Reborn is still following us."

"Oh, well…Reborn actually lives with us right now. He's my…uh…tutor…" Tsuna said slowly.

"A toddler is your tutor?" Shuuchi asked incredulously. He looked over to his side where Reborn was now walked beside him.

Reborn scoffed, debating whether or not he should hit Shuuchi like he did Tsuna. "I'm not really a tutor. I'm a hitman for the mafia. I'm training Dame-Tsuna to be the Juudaime of the Vongola family."

Tsuna laughed nervously at the dubious look on his little cousin's face. "Reborn, don't joke about things like that!"

"I don't joke." Reborn said.

The rest of the way to Tsuna's house was rather uneventful. Reborn spent most of the time explaining the mafia to Shuuchi. Shuuchi was uncertain whether or not the toddler was telling the truth. It didn't help that Tsuna kept laughing and trying to brush off everything Reborn said. When they finally got to the house, Nana was waiting eagerly outside on the front porch for them.

"My little Shu-chan!" Nana squealed, running over and pulling the little boy into a big hug. She kissed both his cheeks. "How was your flight? Do you want to take a bath before dinner?"

Shuuchi smiled brightly at his aunt. "It was okay. I'll take a bath after dinner, Nana." Shuuchi blinked as a little boy in a cow suit suddenly ran out, screaming at Reborn.

"Lambo will defeat you, Reborn!" Lambo shrieked.

Reborn didn't say a word. He backhanded Lambo away and walked into the house without a word.

Shuuchi opened and closed his mouth a few times. He looked over at Tsuna for answers. "Is it always like this?"

Tsuna laughed nervously. "You'll get used to it…Come on; I'll show you your room." He led Shuuchi up the stairs. "Your room is right next to mine. If you need anything during the night, just come get me. You might want to be careful, though. Reborn sets booby traps around the room."

"Are you really part of the mafia?" Shuuchi asked, alarmed.

"No!" Tsuna said quickly. "I mean, Reborn keeps saying I'm supposed to be the boss of the Vongola or whatever, but I don't want to. Don't tell Mama, okay?"

Shuuchi nodded. He went into his room and put his bag down on the bed. He looked over at Tsuna. "Have you killed anyone?"

"No!" Tsuna yelped out.

"What about Yamamoto-san and the others; are they part of the mafia?" Shuuchi asked.

"No!"

"Yes." Reborn walked into the room, kicking Tsuna in the back of the knees for good measure. "They're part of Tsuna's family. Want to be part of Dame-Tsuna's family, Shuuchi?"

Shuuchi blinked a couple times. He quickly shook his head. "No way! That sounds scary! I'm just staying here until Mom and Dad stop fighting! There's no way I will ever, ever, ever join the mafia!"

"Tsu-kun, Shu-chan, Reborn, dinner is ready!" Nana called from downstairs.

Reborn hummed thoughtfully, but left the room without saying another word. Tsuna simply shrugged at Shuuchi when the little boy looked curiously at him. He didn't think Reborn would give up so easily.

Shuuchi wasn't sure what to make of dinnertime. Lambo had returned from wherever he'd been slapped to. It seemed the little cow child hadn't learned his lesson, as he once again tried to attack Reborn. He received a fork to the forehead for his troubles. A little girl named I-Pin showed up, and Shuuchi liked her well enough. She was relatively quiet, until Lambo started chasing her around pretending to be a broccoli monster. Tsuna quickly put an end to it, muttering about explosions. Nana seemed completely content with all the chaos, and Reborn remained relatively silent.

After his bath, Nana tucked Shuuchi into bed. She kissed his forehead before standing up and walking to the door. "Good night, Shu-chan. Tomorrow, Tsu-kun will walk you to school. Sweet dreams."

Shuuchi tried to go to sleep. Despite all the chaos of the day, Namimori was oddly quiet at night. It was something Shuuchi wasn't used to at all. He missed his room at his home, and the bustling sound of nighttime Tokyo. He missed his mother and father. Finally, after tossing and turning for what felt like forever, Shuuchi got up and went into Tsuna's room.

Shuuchi was mindful of where he stepped, avoiding a trip wire and a few other booby traps Reborn had apparently laid out. After a few minutes, Shuuchi managed to get over to the side of Tsuna's bed. He shook his older cousin's arm. "Tsuna-ni." He whispered, trying not to wake the sleeping Reborn a few feet away. "Tsuna-ni."

Tsuna groggily opened his eyes and sat up in his bed. He looked down at Shuuchi and yawned. "What's wrong, Shuuchi? You should be asleep right now. We've both got to go to school in the morning."

Shuuchi hopped onto Tsuna's bed, distress clear on his face. "I don't want to go to a new school. I want to go to my old school. This town is really weird. I want my mom and dad." He sniffled out, on the verge of tears.

Tsuna smiled and patted Shuuchi's head. "Hey, it's okay. I know things are…different here, but you'll like your school. I'll walk you there tomorrow. This isn't for forever, Shuuchi."

"Can I walk home with you after school?" Shuuchi asked hopefully.

"Well, you'll get out before me." Tsuna said. "You'd have to wait outside my school for a little bit."

"That's okay. I'll do my homework while I wait for you." Shuuchi answered. He looked pleadingly at Tsuna.

Tsuna sighed. "Okay. Just…be careful. There are some real weirdoes at my school." He smiled when Shuuchi began rocking back and forth. "You want to sleep in here tonight?"

"Yes!" Shuuchi said, immediately diving under the covers. He didn't like how quiet it was in his room. He felt alone in there. He curled up and yawned. "Night, Tsuna-ni."

Tsuna settled back down and started drifting off to sleep. "Night, Shuuchi."

In his little cot, Reborn cracked a small smile.

"Oh, don't you look absolutely precious." Nana cooed at Shuuchi in his school uniform. She straightened out a wrinkle in his shirt. "Be good. Make lots of friends."

Shuuchi adjusted his backpack and smiled nervously. "Okay."

"Let's go, Shuuchi." Tsuna said, already putting his shoes on.

"Take care." Reborn said, waving at the two boys from the kitchen table.

Tsuna eyed the toddler suspiciously, but didn't say anything. He walked outside with Shuuchi close behind him. He smiled when he saw Gokudera and Yamamoto waiting outside for him.

Yamamoto grinned and ruffled Shuuchi's hair as soon as he and Tsuna walked out of their gate. "Good morning, Shuuchi. Ready for your first day of school?"

Shuuchi shrugged nervously. "I don't know…"

"You'll do fine, Juudaime Jr.!" Gokudera declared.

"You shouldn't call him that, Gokudera…" Tsuna said, noticing how nervous Shuuchi looked. "There's no way him or I are going to be part of the mafia."

Yamamoto laughed. "You don't want to play the game with us, Shuuchi? It's really fun!"

Tsuna just shook his head when Shuuchi looked at him. They reached Namimori Elementary in a few short minutes. Tsuna bid goodbye to Shuuchi, before heading off to Namimori Middle School with Gokudera and Yamamoto.

Shuuchi stared at the entrance to the elementary school for a few minutes. He was in the middle of debating whether or not to simply make a run for it, when he heard a voice behind him.

"The school won't eat you." A boy with messy black hair stood beside Shuuchi. His grey eyes sparkled with mischief. "You're new."

Shuuchi nodded slowly. "I'm Sawada Shuuchi."

"Hibari Jiro." The boy said, a wide grin plastered to his face. "It's nice to meet you, Shuuchi. Come on; I'll show you where the office is. Maybe we'll be in the same class!"

Shuuchi cracked a small smile as Jiro talked all the way to the office. Jiro certainly seemed nice enough. Shuuchi was relieved to find out he was indeed in the same class as Jiro. The two rushed to the classroom and made it just before the bell rang.

Shuuchi spent the entire day staying by Jiro's side. Despite how cheerful and nice Jiro was, all the other children seemed to avoid him. At the end of the day as they were leaving, Shuuchi asked him why that was.

Jiro laughed lightly, though some of the light went out from his eyes. "It's because they're scared of my big brother. Everyone calls him the Demon of Namimori. He's really not that bad, but he can seem pretty scary sometimes."

"Already starting your own family?" Reborn appeared out of nowhere next to the boys. "Good work, Shuuchi."

"What? I'm not…I don't want to be part of the mafia!" Shuuchi protested.

Jiro blinked, but didn't seem fazed at all. "Are you in the mafia?" He asked Reborn.

"Of course. I'm a hitman." Reborn said. He walked with the boys the rest of the way to Namimori Middle School. "I'll go get Dame-Tsuna. You two wait here."

Shuuchi and Jiro stood outside the gates, patiently waiting. Jiro's eyes lit up after a few moments. He began waving excitedly. "Kyoya-nichan!"

Shuuchi had to stifle a small squeak of terror. The boy that walked over looked like Jiro, but his eyes were hard and cold. He glared at the two children, and Shuuchi could understand why people would be so afraid of him.

"Jiro," Hibari said. "I told you to go home after school. I've still got work to do."

Jiro pouted. "I don't like being at the house by myself."

Hibari frowned. "Wait in the Committee Room. You better do your homework."

Jiro grinned. "Thanks, Kyoya-nichan." He waved at Shuuchi before running onto the school grounds. "Bye, Shuuchi! I'll see you at school tomorrow!"

Hibari glared at Shuuchi. "Who are you?"

This time, Shuuchi actually squeaked. "Sawada Shuuchi. I'm waiting for my cousin." He flinched as Hibari continued glaring at him.

Without saying another word, Hibari abruptly turned on his heels and walked off. A few short minutes later, Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto all walked out. Reborn was sitting on Yamamoto's shoulders.

Tsuna smiled at his little cousin. "How was your first day of school?"

Shuuchi told Tsuna everything, including his brief meeting with Hibari. "He was really scary, like a demon! His brother is really nice, though. I don't think school will be so bad."

Reborn nodded approvingly. "Once you get settled in, we'll start on your training. You'll be our backup in case anything happens to Tsuna."

"I'm not going to be part of the mafia!" Tsuna and Shuuchi both shouted at the same time.
