Unidentified.
Tsuna was an ex-resident of mental asylum. And yet there was something about the way Giotto looked at him that made Natsu sick, and of course it wasn't jealousy. He is the only one who sees him as what he really is: a freak. G27; 7227; incest
"Tsunayoshi, Giotto, Tsuna will come home today."
Two different reactions came from two spiky-haired boys in the table. Light filled the sunset-colored eyes while fear filled the tangerine-orange eyes. "Really? That's awesome!" The blond said enthusiastically. "What? Mom, what makes you think that he's cured of all that nonsense!" The brunet shouted loudly.
Tsuna Sawada was Tsunayoshi Sawada's younger twin and Giotto Sawada's youngest brother. He was the final, and the youngest member of Sawada family. And the unspoken family member as well. You see, Tsuna Sawada was born with an abnormal sight. The brown eyes he got from Nana was… particularly gifted.
Yes, Tsuna Sawada can see ghosts. That was why the Sawada Family opted to send him to the asylum.
Unlike him, Giotto Sawada loved that freak. Along with everyone else in the family, who saw him as a mentally unstable adorable kid instead of a freak he is. Tsunayoshi will never forget about how creepy Tsuna can be with those widened brown eyes and creepy song he always sang.

It was creepy beyond all measure. His brother sang that all the time when he wasn't sleeping. And he hated it. The way he felt so strongly about his younger twin scared him, and it made him hate the youngest Sawada.
Tsunayoshi hated Tsuna. And nothing, including ten years of his brother's asylum confinement, could change that.
"It's raining…" The graceful lady with orange kimono said as she opened the sliding door. She looked towards the gray sky with a pair of solemn brown eyes. The man behind her said nothing. He only took the sight of the sheltered girl with his hungry sunset eyes.
The girl stepped out of the room and let her bare feet touched the wet earth. "Hime-gimi!" The blond half-Japanese exclaimed. "Don't! You know what will happen if you go out from this place!" He almost ran and snatch the girl back to her room. But, the brown-haired princess turned at him and smiled. "I just want to feel the rain, Ieyatsu-sama." True to her words, the rain was light and not dangerous.
Ieyatsu took a deep sigh and let his bare feet touch the wet soil, joining the lovely princess in her sightseeing. "The rain, the whole garden, they're beautiful…" She said in no more than a light whisper. Her figure glowed under the slight rain, and Ieyatsu can never take his eyes off the figure in front of him. He was frightened of losing her. Ieyatsu was a mere second child of the glorious Hamaguri family, who was a branch family of a certain Italian family called the Vongola. Their powers were only third after the Sawada family.
Natsushi-hime was the eldest daughter of the Sawada family. She was a gifted miko who can see and converse with dead spirits and demon, she was also blessed with an extraordinary shamanic powers such as healing and future-predicting. The Sawada family cherished her and her powers. Because of so many lingering assassins, demons, and generally people who wanted to steal her for their own merits, Ieyatsu who was the strongest samurai of whole Kyoto was made her bodyguard.
And Ieyatsu loved her. He loved her to death. The way she eyes things kindly, and yet protectively pulled him in. He was no longer guarding her for the sake of powers, but for his own satisfaction as well. Ieyatsu loved her dearly. Even when Natsushi-hime knew nothing about it, he kept on gazing at her, trying to get her to notice him.
"Ieyatsu-sama?" Her voice tingled like a tolling bell. The half Japanese-Italian man instantly looked at her. "Hime-gimi?" He asked uncertainly. The princess looked at him with a tender smile. She looked breathtakingly beautiful even when she was wet because of rain. Her long brown hair shone beautifully, along with her orange with leaf-pattern kimono.
"I love you." She breathed softly. Ieyatsu's eyes widened. Did she just…? "I-I am sorry…" She hid her face under her kimono sleeves. Her ears were red. "Hime-gimi… did you really just…" Ieyatsu stepped forward, reaching the lovely princess. They were both wet. Natsushi-hime looked up and revealed her red face. She looked like an angel. She really worth her name as Kyoto's Blooming Flower.
"I love you, Ieyatsu-sama." When they were about to embrace, a man clothed in black suddenly appeared and snatched her away from him. "HIME-GIMI!" Ieyatsu shouted.
"This girl is mine!" The mysterious man bellowed as he carried Natsushi-hime to the rooftop. "Hear me, all demons of the earth! Today, God's beloved child shall be my spouse!" The man forced his black-tinted lips to the princess' soft and plump lips. Ieyatsu roared. But, his roar was redeemed by the loud noises coming from the ground and the sky. He looked up to see thousands of demons surrounding that man with black hood.
Natsushi-hime was unconscious, and Ieyatsu never felt so much anger and uselessness before. "Are you jealous, Ieyatsu Hamaguri-sama?" The man bellowed. Ieyatsu only looked at him with anger. "SILENCE! RETURN HIME-GIMI AT ONCE YOU FILTHY DEMON!" Ieyatsu shouted as hard as he can.
Thousands of demon laughed at him, but the lord of those demons only snorted as he looked at Ieyatsu. "I've wanted this girl for a long time now," The man said as his licked the princess' cheek with his long tongue. Her cheek turned blue. "There's no way I'm letting her love you." His voice was rumbling, as if the thunder had struck with him.
The man's hood was down now, revealing an unruly, spiky brown hair and a pair of red eyes. His lips were black, like his whole clothes. He looked at Giotto with contempt and smug eyes. "You are weak." When he said this, he flew away with his parade of a hundred demons.
Ieyatsu couldn't do a thing. He can only tremble and clench his fists in anger as he heard the exclaims of the demons in the sky. "WE GOT HER! WE GOT GOD'S BELOVED CHILD! ALL HAIL NATSU-SAMA! ALL HAIL NATSU-SAMA!"
He won't ever forget this. He won't ever forgive this. Even if he had to travel through seven seas and across the time. He will try to find her, to take back his beloved Natsushi-hime from the black demon.
Giotto woke up with a start.
He looked around the living room with wide and unblinking eyes. Oh right, he fell asleep on the sofa because he wanted to wait. He wanted to wait for someone he might have been searching for this thousand years. Giotto remembered his past life, and it has been domineering his entire being. He will never forgive or forget the smug expression of that black demon's face. He trembled in sheer hatred.
Suddenly, he heard his father's lousy 'I'm home' call and rushed to meet him. He knew who brought him out of the confinement. It was Dad, and Giotto will be forever grateful.
"Dad? Welcome home." He said casually. When Giotto opened his eyes, his gaze met with a wide and unblinking ones. Giotto's entire being shivered. "Lu li la Li la Lu li la Li la~" A voice very much like tolls of bells filled his ears instead of his father's answer. "Natsushi…-hime…" He said in awe.
Warm, chocolate colored eyes and bell-like voice. Even with the straitjacket on, even with those widened and unblinking maddened stare. It was her. It was Natsushi-hime.
It was Tsuna Sawada.
