Author's note: Hey guys! This idea just suddenly popped in to my mind so I decided to write it. I still don't know if I will continue this since I'm quite busy with my other stories and all. I kind of suck at fighting scenes so if anyone will be willing to correct/guide/help me, please do so. Just comment on it. Enjoy and Please Review!

Alter Ego

It was lunch time and the students from Namimori Middle School are having a fun time eating and chatting with their friends except for one.

Just when the bell rang, a group of bullies had already surrounded Tsuna and threatened him to come with them to go to the roof. The brunet only nodded fearfully since he knows there's no way out in this kind of circumstances. After all, he's dame-Tsuna. He knew that somewhere in the back of his mind that he had accepted his fate solemnly long ago, knowing that it's clearly his fault for being bullied. If only he had the courage to defy them, then he knew he wouldn't be treated like this.

Akihiko Takahashi, the leader of the bullies, harshly grabbed and pulled Tsuna's arm, making him stumble and fall from his chair. The bully's companions laughed and sneered as they clearly saw Tsuna pathetically fall.

This caught the attention of the other students, especially those who are in class I-A. Some giggled and chuckled at the brunet's misfortune while the others gave him sympathetic looks. But it didn't matter at all to the brunet since they are all the same. They didn't even bother to help him.

"Oi dame-Tsuna, stand up." Akihiko said impatiently as he delivers a swift kick to Tsuna's stomach. The brunet winced at the pain. Salty tears almost welled up in his eyes but he blinked it away. He knows that if he dares to cry in a place like this it would even make him weak and pathetic. And he would be mocked and laughed even more by his classmates for being such a crybaby.

Tsuna shakily stood up, still feeling the pain from being kicked. Hiroto Suzuki and Yuuki Sato, two of the other companions of Akihiko, gripped Tsuna from his sides. A careful precaution so that their prey wouldn't even dream of escaping and report to the infamous demon prefect of Nami-Chuu.

The mean bullies continue to drag Tsuna towards the roof. A lot of students happen to saw the brunet being drag. They all tried to avert their gaze. They knew that if they dare to interfere there's the chance that they may all end up the same as dame-Tsuna.

When they reached the roof, they mercilessly shove the brunet making him fall unto the cold, hard ground with a large thud. He tried to scoot back, thinking of a way to escape, even though he knew it was futile. Even though this had happened many times before, he just can't help but cower in fear.

He tried to be convinced himself that maybe someday he'll live a more peaceful life where he will no longer experience this kind of pain. Yeah, It'll end soon; he'll just have to cope up for now.

'Don't lie to yourself, you of all people should know that there's no escape.' A voice in the back of his mind whispered to him. Then the voice snickered, 'Just accept it.. Da-me-Tsu-na.'

The brunet suddenly freezes up, and began to shiver uncontrollably, almost about to collapse. What the voice said had struck him hard. It was all true, there's no denying it. No matter where he goes, he'll just have to be bullied and look down upon.

Fear began to spread around his system as he was unexpectedly reminded of all his painful memories. The painful blows he received, the harsh insults, those mocking and sneering looks and those who expected absolutely nothing from him.

Something snapped inside Tsuna.

The group of bullies who surrounded the brunet began to look at each other and they all had this puzzled look. The moment they had pushed the brunet, they had received no reaction at all. They had expected that their prey would beg for forgiveness and will begin to cry but there's absolutely no response at all. The brunet only begins to stare at the ground with a complete blank look on his face despite him trembling nonstop. Not even tears are present at the corner of his eyes.

A vein popped in Akihiko's forehead; if pushing their prey to the ground will not make him pathetically scream and shout in anguish then all he had to do is inflict pain on him. Maybe that will make him look like a crybaby.

An evil smirk crossed his face. He made a rapid, forceful thrust on his foot. He knew that it will make contact with the brunet's stomach and will make him finally cry since he had hit him there before. But he was astounded when he felt a hand grabbed his foot. A smirked formed on his face again; he knew others may felt threatened when one had the hold of their foot since the attacker could knock them off balance. But he's different since he had experience this kind of situation before. After all he knows and learned various martial arts. Taekwondo, Karate, Judo and many more.

Akihiko taunted, "Finally having the courage to fight back, eh dame-Tsuna?!"

"I've had enough of this." Tsuna muttered with uncharacteristic venom and his gripped on the bully's foot tightened. Akihiko tried to wriggle from the brunet's grasp but when his foot was suddenly pulled making him lost balance and drop on his ass. Using this to his advantage, the brunet quickly stood up and without a moment of hesitation kicked the bully straight in the stomach.

Akihiko coughed up blood but rapidly wiped it away with his hands. "Damn you, dame-Tsuna" He said with malice evident on his voice. He glared at his so-called companions who had not done anything and just stare at him, completely speechless at what they saw.

Hiroto, Yuuki and the other companions of Akihiko stood there dumbfounded. They can't believe that their almighty leader had just fallen to the ground because of dame-Tsuna. But seeing their leader heatedly glared at them, they snapped out of their daze and immediately went to his side, helping him stand.

Tsuna jumped back, just in time before a fist came down flying to his face.

"Tsk. I missed." Yuuki muttered but then smirked as he saw Hiroto silently approach Tsuna, attempting to strike him from the back but then the brunet easily elbowed his rear attacker in the neck.

Another ally of Akihiko also dashes towards Tsuna with a tightly clench fist. He aimed for Tsuna's head but he quickly duck and throw an uppercut on his chin. The attacker was immediately knocked out cold. The rest of the bullies also tried to attack simultaneously but it was all useless, they had all been knocked out in an in an instant.

Akihiko cowardly scampered back as he looked at the bloody mess in front of him. His confidence on his martial arts suddenly dropped.

'I-I can't w-win, a-against t-that m-monster.' He make a quick surveillance around the area, trying to find a route for escape. 'I-I may not win, but I-I could report this to the principal or better yet to Hibari-san! Yes, if I did that maybe this m-monster in front of him will be expelled.' He forced a smile as he tried to convince himself that he'll not end up the same as his friends.

Just as he was scurrying back, the strength on his knees suddenly left making him dropped down again.

Tsuna walked towards him, blood of his friends on his hands. The brunet looks down him at him; his eyes held no remorse at what he had done just a second ago. The last bully flinched when the brunet suddenly bends. Tsuna stared at him but Akihiko decided to look down, refusing to meet his gaze. Tsuna gently lift his chin, forcing him to look at his eyes. Akihiko suppress a gasp out of his mouth.

Calm, calculative bright yet at the same time dark orange eyes stare back at him.

"M-monster." Was all Akihiko managed to utter before everything went black.
