Author's Note:
The prequel of Katekyo Hitman REBORN! XI Generation is here! It took a long time for me to rewrite the first chapter. I won't update this story so often since I'm still having some difficulties writing this story and I'm busy with college too.
I hope you enjoy the first chapter even if it just a little and don't forget to review~
Rooftop, Vongola HQ, Italy
A huge black helicopter with Vongola Family crest on the door landed at the rooftop with four people in black suit waiting with their luggage ready. The first person has silver hair and wearing red necktie, the second person has black hair wearing blue necktie, the third person has brown hair with orange necktie, and the last person is a short cubby man holding a huge backpack and ran towards the three people.
"Giannini, what took you so long?" a man with silver hair bent down, shouting at the cubby man who was running slowly with huge backpack.
"Just be patient Gokudera-san, I'm doing this as fast as I can." Giannini retorted.
The brunet beside him patted his back to calm him down. "Calm down, Gokudera-kun." The brunet said.
"I-if the Tenth said so." Gokudera relented.
The black haired person laughed cheerfully. "It's been a months since we left Japan. I cannot wait to meet Wakana, Takashi, and old man again!"
"You're right, Yamamoto. Anyway, let's go. It's about time I tell my oldest son everything." Tsuna picked his luggage.
Gokudera, Yamamoto and Giannini seemed surprise by this.
"You're going too? Then why didn't you go with your son this morning?" Yamamoto asked.
Tsuna chuckled. "Well, I want to surprise mom and Kyoko."
Gokudera's face paled a bit. "…wait…" He said slowly. "If you're going to tell him, then…Reborn-san…"
Tsuna sweat dropped. "Yup, he's ready and already gone ahead to Japan two days ago…"
Namimori Express
It was late in afternoon. The train was quiet with only few people. Some were typing their phones, some were just silent and staring at outside window, and some were sleeping. Among the sleeping ones, at the seat nearest to the exit, slept a brunet who was around his early teens wore a white-collar shirt with short sleeves, and brown pants.
"To all passengers, our next stop would be Namimori Station. Those who wants to stop by please make sure to check your belongings before leaving the train."
He jerked awake and felt the stiff bones in his neck crack out of his slumber. Music was blaring in his head and he briefly wondered where it was coming from before he remembered that his headphones were still on. Sitting up in his uncomfortable train seat, he checked the time on his MP3 player before he shut it off. 17:45 PM. As soon as the music stopped and his headphones were off, the sounds of the train assaulted his ears, the buzzing of the lights, the grinding of the train as it turned a corner, and the jingling of the handles as the train rocked.
The brunet stifled a yawn, picking his bag beside him and standing next to the exit to prepare getting off the train. Once the train stopped and the door slid open, he stepped out, followed by other passengers. He hummed the song that he heard from his headphones all the while walking down the stairs to the station gate.
As he reached the gate, he looked around as if searching for someone. And he found who he was looking for when a long orange haired woman waving her hand to get his attention. He approached to the woman and was taken aback when the woman ran to him and hugged him.
"Welcome back, Mitsusada! It's been a whole month since you left to Italy for holiday. Mom and Grandma missed you so much." She broke the hug to face her son. "How's your father?"
"He's okay, as busy as usual with piles of paperwork around his desk." Mitsusada replied with a chuckle.
Kyoko giggled in response. "I see, Tsu-kun still far from coming home." Kyoko said.
She was a bit saddened that her husband couldn't come home because of his work. Shaking her head to sweep away the thought, she smiled at her son.
"Let's go, Hide-kun and Saki-chan already waiting for you."
Mitsusada's face brightened at the mention of the names. "I also missed them a lot."
As Mitsusada stepped towards the exit, he felt sharp, cold eyes watching him. He stopped his step. Mitsusada shifted and looked towards pillars behind him. Even though only briefly, he clearly saw a figure quickly hide behind pillar. Having a bad feeling, Mitsusada gently but quickly pushed his mother out from the place.
From behind a pillar, a tall man dressed in black leaned by the pillar. His eyes focused at the brunet who was getting into a taxi with his mother. His fedora hat hid his expression and a green chameleon rested on his shoulder.
Sawada Residence, Namimori Town
A car pulled up in the driveway of the Sawada Residence, and Mitsusada Sawada stepped out.
Even though he'd enjoyed spending the last holiday with his father and his friends in Italy, he was happy to finally be back home. There was a spring in his step as he helped his mother out of the car. Kyoko on the other hand, was happy to have her oldest son back into their house. She couldn't remember how many times her other two children whining to meet their older brother. Now that he came home, they'll surely be happy.
As soon as they opened the door, the first thing the brunet saw was an old lady and two children, a boy with orange hair like Kyoko and a girl with short blond hair. Both children had same orange eyes as his.
"Big bro!" shouted the siblings, running up to their older brother.
Bending down, he scooped them both into his arms and placed kisses on both their heads. "I'm back, Hide, Saki, did you missed me?"
"Yes!" They responded together, and Mitsusada had to resist the urge to cuddle them to oblivion.
"I missed you too. A lot." He said to them before turning to his grandmother.
"Grandma, I'm home." He smiled.
"It's only been a while, and you have grown this much, Mitsu-kun." Nana hugged her oldest grandchild. "Starting tomorrow, you will attend Namimori-Middle, right?"
Mitsusada nodded. "Yeah. Dad already prepared everything."
"You must be tired, take a bath and go to your room. We'll call you once the dinner is ready."
"No, you don't need to. I already eat on my way here. I'm full." Mitsusada rubbed his stomach.
"Big bro! Let's play!" Hide demanded, tugging his brother's pants, followed by Saki who also demanded the same.
"Hide-kun, Saki-chan, your brother just arrived from long trip. He needs rest." Kyoko said to the two, earning whines from the two.
"It won't be long! Please~" Both younger children said with sparkling and pleading puppy-dog-faces.
Mitsusada chuckled and picked both of them into his arms. "Okay then."
He looked at his mother and grandmother, giving them an assuring smile.
"I'll take enough rest for sure. I don't want to skip my first day as middle school student." He said and then went to courtyard to play with his cute siblings.
Courtyard, Sawada Residence
The siblings each demanded different game, Hide wanted to play hide-and-seek while Saki wanted to play with her toys and dolls. After some discussion, they finally decided to play pass ball with the ball that Mitsusada had bought for his little brother.
"Big bro, when will Daddy came home?" Saki asked as she passed the ball to her oldest brother.
"I don't know Saki. Dad's still busy with work." Mitsusada passed the ball to Hide.
Hide frowned. "But he promised that he will be back and play with us!" Hide whined, sitting on the grass while hugging the ball. "Daddy said he'll take us to amusement park…"
"Now, now, Hide. Mommy has told you to be patient, right? So just wait for daddy, and we'll go to amusement park together." Mitsusada reminded, rubbing his younger brother's hair.
"But…"
Mitsusada sighed and smiled, picking his younger brother up, the younger boy squealed as he touched his older brother's face. Looking at this, Saki tugged her brother's pants, demanding to be picked up as well. He smiled at his only sister and lowered his height so Saki could ride on his back. Without being told to, Saki rode on his back and started playing with his hair.
"How about this then, tomorrow after school, let's go to pet playground. We can play with kittens and puppies there. Okay?" He offered to his siblings, hoping this will cheer them up.
"Promise?" Hide and Saki asked.
"Promise."
"Pinky Swear?" Hide and Saki raised their pinkies.
"Pinky Swear." The brunet intertwined his little finger with his siblings'
He placed down Hide and Saki when Nana called them for dinner. Hide and Saki rushed to the dining room, calling out their older brother when the brunet still has not moved from the courtyard. The brunet was about to join them, deciding he'll eat dinner after all since his stomach suddenly went all empty after playing with his siblings, when a sharp, cold feelings stabbing his body.
He had sensed this before. It was the same feelings back at the station few hours ago. In fact, he already had a feeling that someone is watching him ever since he arrived in Italy during his holiday and makes many attempts to ignore it. But this time, he quickly rushed outside the courtyard and looked around his house, but found no one suspicious.
"…Weird… Was it really just my imagination? No. My intuition never fails me." He rubbed his head. "But what odder is, even though it was cold and sharp, I didn't sense any ill will. But yet I feel uneasy too at the same time…"
Hide called him out once again, making him snapped out from his thought and join the dinner, not noticing the tall man with fedora and green chameleon on his hat came out from his hiding spot, quietly praised the brunet.
"It wasn't beginner's luck after all. Your Hyper Intuition was beyond my expectation. I guess there's no need to hide and observation anymore." The man brought out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Iemitsu, I have a change of plans."
"You finally realized? Reborn."
Mitsusada's Room, 2nd Floor, Sawada Residence
"I'm very tired today!"
Mitsusada slumped his body onto his bed, feeling refreshed after taking a nice, comfortable bath. He took off the towel around his neck and put it aside onto his desk. He looked around his room. It was still the same way he left it. The bed pushed to one corner of the room, his desk on the other side, next to the window. The bed had white and black covers. The walls were painted yellow with Hide and Saki's drawings plastered on it by them to make their brother's room livelier.
"Staying in Italy was fun, but staying in my own house is more comfortable. One month in Italy was like one year…" He mused to himself as he looked at the ceiling.
"I wonder how my middle-school life will be… I hope it'll be fun." He wished. His mind rewound back to his arrival at the station this afternoon. He remembered about the figure that has been watching him until now. Just who's that person? What does he want with him?
He had tried to ignore the stares he gets from this person, but seriously, he couldn't take it any longer.
"Why didn't he just reveal himself to me? I cannot spend a rest of my life being observed like this." He scratched his head in frustration before lying on the bed.
"…I…just want to live my day peacefully…" He said and drifted to sleep.
Living Room, 1st Floor, Sawada Residence
The phone rang in the middle of night, waking Kyoko from her sleep as she rushed to pick up the phone.
"Sawada Residence here." She answered the call, waiting for response.
"It's me, Kyoko."
Kyoko gasped as she recognized the caller. She listened to the caller's every words closely. When it finally finished, she ended the call and closed the phone. Frown etched in her face shortly afterwards.
"Mitsu-kun…"
Next Day, Namimori Middle School, Namimori Town
Zooming into the courtyard, Mitsusada walked to crowds of student gathered in front of boards where the class arrangements being announced but not before taking a deep breath after running with full speed from his house all the way to school.
Back at home several minutes ago, Mitsusada almost fell down the stairs as he tried to comb his spiky hair and kick his school bag downstairs at the same time. A sudden bout of tiredness from the long trip from Italy had gotten him overslept and he woke up only to find out it was already 8:00 a.m.
Opening Ceremony started at 8:19 a.m. and his house was a seventeen minutes walk away, meaning he would have to run. Hurrying into the kitchen to grab a piece of toast, Mitsusada greeted his mother and grandmother as he blasted out of the house, sprinting in the direction of Namimori Middle while hastily stuffing the schedule today. He would pick up his siblings today after school and take them to the pet playground as he had promised yesterday.
"Thank god that I made it in time…" Mitsusada sighed in relief and began to search for his class. He found his name at class 1-B.
"Well, I guess this is my first day as middle-school student." He looked at the school building.
"The last time I came here was when Dad and Mom brought me during their school reunion. It was bigger than last time."
Mitsusada turned around when he felt someone observing him again. However, the moment he turned around, the feeling disappeared as usual. His observer has cleverly hid himself again.
"Just who's this person who has been watching me? A stalker? Someone who's holding a grudge against me? No, I don't feel uncomfortable or any bad feeling from it. And as far as I remember, I never did anything that will warrant grudge to anyone."
"All new students please gathered at auditorium for opening ceremony!" A senior student called out, snapping Mitsusada from his thought and rushed to the auditorium.
Under Sakura trees, two men stood watching the brunet run to the building.
"How is it, Hibari?" Reborn asked.
"…He's still a small animal. He hasn't showed his fangs." He answered.
"Then all you need to do is force him to show his fangs. You can choose the method you like." Reborn turned his back on the raven-haired man.
"I'm counting on you."
"Don't ordering me around."
Auditorium, Namimori Middle School
Throughout the speech from the principal and all, Mitsusada had to resist the urge to fall asleep as he find the speech boring and just wished it to end quickly. When he realized that the last speech from the principal of the school was over, he realized that one of the adults sitting on the stage shifted his gaze on him. Mitsusada immediately recognized him as the owner of the Namimori-Middle, Kyoya Hibari. The man has short spiky black hair, pair of sharp eyes that unnerved him, and strangely wearing black suit, unlike other school staffs.
Mitsusada blinked in confusion once the man finally shifted away his attention from him. "Why was he looking at me like that…? Have I done something wrong? No, this is even the first time I meet him. First my secret observer, now director Hibari, just what's happening to me?"
As he was so deep in thought, he didn't realize that the students have been dismissed to their own classroom and he quickly rushed into the building.
Not enough with his tiredness from running, he came into realization that he forgot where his classroom is! He scolded himself for being too much in thought that he forgetting his own classroom. There's no way he could just go back to the courtyard to see the board class arrangements or else, he'll be late to attend his first class.
He scratched his head, not knowing what to do. "Geez, how can I forget something important like this?"
He walked the hallway without any clue where his classroom is and tried to remember where, and he didn't realize that he walking near the reception room. He only realized when suddenly, someone was thrown out from the room along with the door that broke from the impact, shocking the brunet who immediately took a step back despite his calm face.
"W-what was that…?" Mitsusada muttered and turned to the reception room.
From the reception, someone stepped out. Mitsusada's eyes widened beyond believe when he recognized the person as none other than the owner of Namimori Middle School and the one who was looking at him with calculating eyes near the end of opening ceremony, Kyoya Hibari. He was surprised even more when he noticed pair of tonfas in his hands and quickly assumed that he was the one who throw the person out.
"For disturbing my work, I'll bite you to death." He held up his tonfas, ready to attack.
The thrown out man immediately bow, begging for forgiveness. "P-please forgives me Hibari-sama! I won't do it again!" He said and hastily stood up and run away from the bloodlust director.
Mitsusada's intuition screamed at him to leave the place before things getting ugly for him. He was ready to follow his intuition, only to be halted by the raven-haired man.
"What are you doing here? The class is about to start." Hibari said. Well, his plan to run away and didn't want to get involved has failed.
Mitsusada turned back at the man and bowed as sign of respect before speaking. "I'm Mitsusada Sawada. Umm…I-"
"If you don't spill it out quickly, I'll bite you to death." Hibari raised his tonfas once more.
Mitsusada raised his hands in defense. "Please, wait a moment I want to-"
Before he could finish what he needs to say, the raven haired man has made his move and swung his tonfa towards the brunet boy. Out of self-defense, Mitsusada caught the right tonfa with his hand and blocked the other one with his other hand.
Hibari smirked. "Not bad for a small animal."
"Director Hibari, please listen to me first…" Mitsusada struggled to keep the tonfas from hurting him.
And much to his dismay, the director refused to listen, sending a kick to the brunet who immediately dodged it by jumping backwards from the man. Being a pacifist he is, he thought of running away, preferred to avoid fighting. And if news about him fighting with the director of the school spread up, he might get expelled from school. But knowing that the man was strong, he is sure that he'll easily catch up with him.
"Small animal, show your fangs and fight me." Hibari challenged.
"…I guess those rumors about director Hibari once being a delinquent during his years and have many influences in Namimori are true…" Mitsusada a sweat dropped from his face.
"Show your fangs to me, just like your father did." Hibari demanded.
Now this got Mitsusada's full attention. "You know my father?" He questioned.
"More than you think." Hibari replied, making the brunet confuse and curious at the same time. The raven-haired man didn't waste any more time to chitchat, he launched at the brunet who was about to defend himself again.
When Hibari about to swung his tonfa, someone stepped between him and Mitsusada. He stood in front of Mitsusada protectively, facing the school director directly. He was wearing school uniform and a bit taller than Mitsusada.
"That's enough." The student said to Hibari.
Hibari gazed at the student for a moment before putting back his tonfas around his waist with his belt. After taking a last glance at Mitsusada, he walked away.
"Are you all right?"
The boy turned around, revealing his full feature to Mitsusada. His hair was black and his eyes were blue. His feature reminded him of the owner of the school whom he had made eye contact with near the end of the opening ceremony as he saw a splitting image of him from the boy. What made them different are their eyes. While the man's eyes were cold and emotionless, this boy's eyes were warm and kind.
Mitsusada nodded. "Yeah, I'm all right. Thank you." He bowed his head gratefully.
He smiled and nodded, accepting his gratitude. "You're welcome. You seem in trouble, is there anything I can help?" He asked.
"I-I forgot where my classroom is." He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"You're… Mitsusada Sawada, you're in the same class as me in 1-B. Come on, let's go there together." The boy offered, surprising the brunet.
"How do you know my name?" He asked.
"My father owns this school, so I know every student's name here and the class arrangements as well." He explained.
Mitsusada stared wide-eyed at the black haired boy. "Y-you're Director Hibari's son?"
He nodded. "My name is Fuuhaku Hibari, nice to meet you. I apologize for my father's early behavior." He extended his hand, offering a handshake, which Mitsusada take.
"Are you…really Director Hibari's son…?" He asked, still a bit unsure even though his intuition telling him that he's not lying. And if he looked at him closer, there's indeed resemblance between them.
Fuuhaku chuckled. "You're not the first person to react that way. Yes we are. All school staff here knows." He beckoned him to follow him.
"Come on, the class is about to start if we don't hurry."
"Oh, right!" He followed.
On their way to the classroom, Mitsusada couldn't get over the encounter a while ago. "This might be rude and personal thing to ask but does director Hibari always like that?"
"He's…very fond of this school and rather aloof person. Whoever that he thinks crowding around him, he would…punish them as you have seen." Fuuhaku chuckled nervously, which Mitsusada return the same.
"But he's actually not a bad person. Really. He can be very violent, but he has soft spot too." Fuuhaku quickly added.
Mitsusada blinked, hearing the raven-haired man's attempts to defend his father image in his voice, but didn't point this over and instead nodding his every word. While converse many things throughout their way to the classroom, they didn't realize that they have already arrived in front of 1-B classroom.
They entered the classroom and found that most of the students have arrived. When the bell rang, both of them quickly take a seat somewhere that still available and waited patiently for their homeroom teacher to enter the classroom. He was left to his own devices until he heard some murmurs from other students.
"Hey, I heard he is 'Dame-Tsuna's son'." A male student whispered.
"Dame-Tsuna?"
"Yeah. My dad told me that he used to have a classmate nicknamed 'Dame-Tsuna' because he is so useless at everything. And I heard that guy is as same as his dad."
"Looks like we'll have a useful slave here."
Mitsusada twitched. He knew what they meant by that and he didn't like the idea one a bit. How dare they spread some rumors like that when they don't even know the first thing about him and his father. Fortunately at this time, the homeroom teacher finally came, telling the student to be quiet as he walked to his desk.
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Oozaki Nakamura. I'll be your homeroom teacher for a year." He properly introduced himself.
"Today there will be no classes, we'll start with introduction and deciding class representatives and-"
The door being slid open interrupted Oozaki-sensei. They all turned to the door at the back of the classroom. A tall boy with purple hair in unique style and pair of enchanting red eyes entered the class. All girls were dazed at him.
"I'm sorry that I'm late. There's car traffic on my way here from the airport." He apologized politely.
"Oh, okay then, you can go to your seat." Oozaki pointed at the seat beside Mitsusada.
The boy nodded and sat where his homeroom teacher told. With the last new student arrived, the teacher continue reading his schedule today and apparently didn't hear some of his students started to talk and ignored him.
"Isn't he handsome?" A female student gazed at the purple haired boy.
"Yeah, he's hot. He's definitely my type." Another female student said.
"Is he a foreigner?"
"His eyes were unusual and all, so I think he is."
"Cool~"
Mitsusada grimaced. Great. Another gossip topic came. Just when he thought he was freed from gossips about his dad and him, another gossip topic came again. Just when this kind of things would just stop? Out of curiosity, he turned his eyes to the seat where the foreign student sat, only to meet a pair of mismatched eyes staring back at him.
Mitsusada's eyes locked with the purple haired boy's. The brunet felt the unusual colored eyes felt like it sucked him in and pulled away his gaze from the purple haired boy, but realized that the said boy was still staring at him for who knows why.
"Why there are many people staring at me today?" The brunet wondered.
Not wanting to get a headache, Mitsusada tried to focus on what the teacher said, even though he was bored and so, he went back to his half-conscious state, trying to ignore the throbbing in his head, and waited for the bell to ring.
From afar, Reborn observed through telescope, whistling while watching the exchange between the two with teens with amusement.
"It's time to take some piece of action." Reborn changed Leon into his gun form.
Living Room, 1st Floor, Sawada Residence
"Tsu-kun, welcome back!" Nana hugged his son tightly while Kyoko waited after Nana for her turn to hug her husband.
"I'm home, mom, Kyoko." He hugged his mother back before hugging his wife. He then spotted his children walked downstairs and gasped when they see their father waving at them.
"Daddy!" The siblings rushed to their father who had opened his arms to take them into his embrace. "I'm back, Hide, Saki. You two behave nicely while daddy not here, right?"
"Yes we did! Yesterday we helped mommy tidy up the rooms and laundries!" Saki answered proudly, making the older brunet chuckled.
He patted their heads before looking around for his oldest child. "Where's Mitsusada? He hasn't come home yet?"
Kyoko shook her head. "No not yet. He's supposed to be home by now. Maybe he stop by somewhere first."
"I have to wait until he's back then-"
His phone rang. He looked at the contact number. It was from Reborn.
"Reborn? What's wrong? And where are you right now?" He asked, worrying that his tutor scheming something behind him.
"Ciaossu, Tsuna. I just want to tell you that I made some change of plans. Do not worry and just wait with Kyoko and the others."
"Change of plans? Which plans? What are you going to do this time, Reborn?" Apparently his wish for his tutor not to scheming anything was not granted.
"Just do what I said. Bye." He cut off the line, ending the call.
"Wait! Reborn!" He groaned and sighed. "…Mitsusada…it seems you're going to be in trouble…"
Street, Namimori Town
Looking at his watch, Mitsusada ran in hurry since it's almost afternoon (and he don't want to deal with his possible bullies). His cute younger siblings would be mad at him if he broke his promise and he was not a type to break his promise once he had promised to whoever it is.
"I hope Hide and Saki not starting to whine by now. Thankfully the pet playground opens until 20.00 p.m."
"Unfortunately, this will be the first time you have to break your promise."
The entire street fell into silence. Body tensed and fists clenched. Mitsusada looked around him cautiously, waiting. Finally there was movement…and all hell broke loss.
"What the?" Mitsusada shouted as grenades flew onto him.
Mitsusada, without actually thinking it through, quickly get down onto ground as the grenades explode. Mitsusada heard the cracking and snapping of the beams and other important things, which kept the lamp pole over his head. Mitsusada felt shingles hit his head and heard something crash through the ground.
He was feeling hazy. Mitsusada attempted to open his eyes to get a proper look at the damage but there was too much dust and debris in the air for him to even see his own hand. He still heard things fall from atop and land somewhere in the street. Grunts sounded and then…footsteps.
The dust and smoke started to clear as the brunet saw a silhouette of someone standing in front of him, and from the silhouette, he was surprised to find that the person was carrying a gun and revolver. He wished that his intuition this time were wrong. But, just as he claimed before, his intuition never fails him.
"You're still alive… Good."
The smoke cleared, and the first thing Mitsusada saw was a tall man wearing black suit and fedora. His right hand held a gun while his left hand held a revolver. The men shot his head up, revealing his expression, his eyes. Mitsusada knew those eyes. Those eyes have been observing him since his arrival in Italy. As Mitsusada continued to gaze searchingly at the man, he instinctively knew that this man was someone to be feared.
"Who…who are you…? Why are you watching me all this time?" Mitsusada finally found his voice.
The man snickered as he removed his weapons to his sides. "I'm Reborn, and from this day on, I'll become your home tutor to make you a great Mafia Boss."
Mitsusada's eyes widened beyond believe. He quickly stood up, looking at the man as if he had gone crazy.
"What?" Was the only thing that Mitsusada able to utter. "What are you say-Whoaaa!" Mitsusada rushed to side-to-side, dodging storm of bullets directed to him.
"What the heck...?" He paled and immediately ran. "Hiieee! What have I done?" Mitsusada didn't have time to protest, he focused himself to dodge those bullets before there're many holes in his body.
"Stop dodging and fight me back. If you continue like this you'll die." Reborn sneered.
"Who are you anyway? I didn't even remember doing something bad to you that make me deserve to be killed!"
"Or perhaps you're as pathetic as your father? Always running around like street rats."
Mitsusada snapped. He dodged the bullet as he ran towards Reborn. "You're wrong. I can fight. My father has been teaching me for years and so does myself." He raised his fist.
"And don't you dare insult my father. You don't even know him." He moved his fist towards the man's face, only to be dodged easily.
"I know him longer than you. I am the one who taught him how to fight." Reborn shot his bullets in the air, making rain of bullets.
Mitsusada defended himself behind wall of a house. Then it hit him. With this commotion, many people should've come out from their house. But yet after those explosions and all, no one came. He looked around him as his intuition screamed at him that something's wrong.
However, the brunet's thought was interrupted by another bullet that gave a scratch on Mitsusada's shoulder. Mitsusada winced as he looked up to find Reborn stood hover him as he pointed his weapons at him.
"Giving up already?"
Mitsusada bit his lip and glared at the man. That's until he noticed that the man's feature was different from a while ago. He remembered the feeling that he felt when the man observed him. He looked at his wounded shoulder and back at the man. When that man had threatened him, it did not feel as if it were aimed at him. In fact it did not feel that the man was doing it seriously. If anything it seemed to be more like a warning under the guise of a threat. But the underlying message was clear.
Before Mitsusada could say something, he blinked when the man's black eyes refocused and the man looked around the area in alarm.
"Mitsusada, be on your guard!" He said, forcing Mitsusada to stand up. It hurt to move, but that didn't stop him from getting Mitsusada back onto his feet, although wobbly.
"W-what? What's wrong with you all of a sudden?!" Mitsusada was beyond confused now. First, this man ambushed him, and then helping him. What does he want?
"Now!"
Mitsusada then feel it. He had recognized its presence as soon as he had detected it, and it gave him the same unnerving feeling it had given him the first time he had encountered it. The fedora man released Mitsusada's hand and started to shove him towards the edge of the area as a figure appears.
Mitsusada flinched when cold, winter-grey eyes turned to meet his own orange ones. Mitsusada felt a rush of wind pass him before stopping behind him. Just as quickly, the fedora man also disappeared and reappeared behind the intruder, as a kick strikes down at where he had been standing only half a second ago.
"Don't interfere, Arcobaleno." The man, cloaked in black robe with a mask, told him.
"Just what did I get myself into?!" Mitsusada screamed in his mind.
And with this, Mitsusada's life turned upside down, now his life is placed in the passenger seat of death.
To not causing some confusion, I'm telling you this; this story will tell Mitsusada and his Family's life from seventh grade until eleventh grade. Since in this chapter Mitsusada, Fuuhaku, and Nichrome just started middle school, their ages are around 12-13.
