It all starts on that rainy day.

Chapter 1
"See ya, Tsuna"
Yamamoto came out of Sawada residence. It was the late evening, with the sun nearly disappeared from the horizon, casting an orange-gold shade across the clear sky. Yamamoto hummed to himself as he started to walk back to his house. It was autumn, with dry leaves scattering about the pathway. As he passed by a park, he smelled baked sweet potatoes. Thinking of suggesting the idea of adding this into the menu to his dad, Yamamoto did not notice dark clouds that suddenly appeared on the sky, turning it into dark-gray shade. In a matter of seconds, it rained. It started with a light drizzle, which quickly turned into a shower, and then heavy downpour. Searching his school bag, Yamamoto took out his umbrella and used it to prevent himself from getting drenched.
'Strange…… What's with this sudden downpour?'
A boy was staggering through the small alleyway.
He was panting, almost hyperventilating. Despite the heavy rain, he did not attempt to find a shelter, allowing the rain to wash over him, chilling him to his bones. His short dark hair stuck down onto his eye. He wiped it to the side, revealing a pair of sharp, dark eyes. However, they were set in a vacant stare right now, as if all hope in the world had been lost. He was wearing what was once a dark-blue t-shirt and jeans, but they were covered in cuts and blotches of red, which easily indicated the ferocity of the battle he had been in before. He also felt as if his head was being crushed open by a sledgehammer, though he was sure his earlier opponent did not use blunt weapon.
Memories started flooding back to him. Memories of his buddy, his only friend, of how they used to play together, how they argued over small things, how they shared their past, how they train together to become great hitmans. And the last set of memories, clearly carved into his heart:
How his buddy betrayed him and tried to kill him, and that he failed.
The death of his only friend, the first and most likely the last one that he would ever have, by his own hand.
He then noticed a person standing in front of him, at the entrance of the alley. He recognized him as a tall, spiky haired male from the outline. The boy tried to turn around and run away, but his pounding headache and body condition would not allow him. In an attempt to get away, he swayed and fell onto the muddy ground, his body feeling numb.
'Damn, I lost too much blood' thought the boy.
The male then rush to kneel beside him and shook his shoulder, shouting something to him, before his conscious sank into the darkness.
Yamamoto continued to walk through the rain, thinking about his study, his homework he had done earlier with Tsuna, his sushi making skill, and other random things until he felt a bad vibe that make his hair stood on end.
'Weird, it's not like we are playing the mafia game now'
He then looked ahead onto the branching out alley. As he walked past it, he saw a silhouette of what appeared to be a boy of similar size to Tsuna, staggering in the alley, soaking from head to toe. Curious, he moved towards the dark passage. It was when he arrived at the entrance that the boy noticed him, his eye widening in surprise. He then turned slightly sideway before he collapsed. Noticing that something was wrong, Yamamoto ran up to him and shook his shoulder.
"Hey! Are you alright? What's wrong? Stay with me! HEY!"
There was no response. The boy was currently knocked out cold. Yamamoto called for an ambulance, and then his dad, explaining the situation, and that he would be home a bit late. After finishing the phone calls, Yamamoto then examined the boy to see what he could do.
The boy was covered in wounds, most of which were cuts. There are crimson blots all over his clothes, some of which are fading slightly due to the rain. It was then that the ambulance arrived. While the paramedics were taking the boy into the ambulance, Yamamoto pondered:
'Was the vibe before coming from him?'
Yamamoto was in the hospital, worried about the condition of the boy. Apparently, the doctor told him that apart from too much loss of blood, the boy was not seriously injured and would recover quickly. It was then that his cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Yamamoto? This is Tsuna. Are you at home now?"
"No, I'm in a hospital." He said casually.
"What!? Why? Are you ok? What happened? What did you do? Did some-"
"No, no! Calm down, Tsuna! I'm fine." Yamamoto cut in the now frantic Tsuna.
"Then, why are you in a hospital?"
"Oh, coz I found an injured boy and so I called for an ambulance. I came to the hospital in case I need to give detail about the boy to the police"
"O-oh… Ok, then, I thought you were ambu- no, never mind. How's the boy now anyway?" somehow, Tsuna seemed both nervous and relived.
"He's in stable condition now. The only serious thing was the loss of blood, but that was already taken care of, so don't worry. Oh, by the way, why did you call, Tsuna?"
"Oh, that, because you oomph-"
"Tsuna?"
"Ciaoosu"
"Oh, Kozoo*! What's up?"
"What does the boy look like?"
"Huh? Oh, he is around the size of Tsuna, has black hair and black eyes. He was wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans-" But he was cut off by Reborn.
"Did you see his left hand?"
"Left hand? Now that you said it, I think there is some kind of tattoo on the back of his left hand."
"… I see"
"Why, do you know him?"
"No, you can go home right now. I think you can leave the contact with the reception in case of police contacting you."
"Okay..."
"By the way, Tsuna called you because you forgot your assignment sheet here, so he'll give it to you at school tomorrow"
"Oh, thanks Tsuna for me then. See ya."
"Bye. Stop whining, dame-"
The conversation ended. That was when a nurse told him that he could visit the boy if he would like to. He thanked the nurse, then came into the room. The boy was lying on the bed, with pins stuck into his arm to replace his lost fluid. Yamamoto then saw that there was indeed a really faint red tattoo on the back of his left hand. But it was really faint that he could not recognize its shape.
Somehow, despite Reborn's order, Yamamoto did not want to leave the boy alone in the hospital. He had a weird feeling that if he did, he would never see the boy again.
'But the doctor said he was safe now, that his life's not in danger, so what's with this feeling?'
His thought and instinct was now fighting against each other. Being Yamamoto, the instinct side won.
'I'll come up with an excuse for the little guy later, so it should be all right' Yamamoto thought leisurely.
He decided to wait until the boy regained consciousness, and then he would explain everything to the boy. After that, he would go home.

A/N:
Hello everybody! Welcome to the world of 8027! There's seriously very little fanfics about this pairing, and so I, being impatient with other people's update, decides to write up a fanfic myself! This is the first fanfic ever in my life, and so everybody, please be patient with me!
As you can see, the fic does not seem to be of 8027, but rather, OC x 80. Please be patient, since I really want to put my little OC boy into the story, and I guarantee that this is 8027 story. The OC is just something to fill the page up…… (No, not really, but this character will be of a big significant later.)
This story won't also start with Yama and Tsuna already in love with each other. Everything takes time, so I won't rush with their feeling. (again patience)
Please also leave comments if you have read the story. Don't be afraid to point out any mistakes that I might have missed, or leave some criticisms for me, or even say how bad my fic is. Little comments are fine too, because it shows that at least somebody is reading this crappy fic.
By the way, you can give suggestions for the name of the OC boy, because I still haven't thought one up yet. I suggest that it is either Japanese or Italian (but I really want it to be Japanese!!!). So, suggestions are welcome. (But if nobody suggests one, then I'll come up with one instead!)
Lastly, the story starts right after the Varia arc, and so nobody (except Lambo and, lol, Irie) had been to the future yet.
I have a couple of ideas, so as the story goes on, I'll probably ask for a lot of opinions. So, please click the box at the bottom of the screen and review!
By the way, is it OOC?
(sorry for such a long A/N too!)
