Enter the Sun


Sawada Tsunayoshi was not the bravest of souls, nor was he the brightest, strongest, wittiest or wealthiest. He was called 'Dame-Tsuna', but no one knew if he gained the name because he was indeed no good, or if he was called it first and settled into the label after the fact. It no longer mattered though because the boy in question had no intention on changing his underwhelming status or mundane lifestyle. The wish for something better had been buried long ago.

Life was being picked on, video games, messy rooms, bad grades and never ending monotony. There was rarely excitement and most would balk at how boring it all was but it was his life and he liked it that way. At least it made him feel better to think so.

Tsuna most definitely thought it was better than this.

"Just looking at you brings tears to my eyes! Oh dear it's no wonder I was called in to whip you into shape!"

His name was Lussuria, and he was a baby with a pet peacock. Or at least Tsuna thought he was a baby with the giant yellow pacifier affixed to his front but he could have easily been mistaken for a garden gnome that had been dunked into too many cans of paint and had an accident with the shears. The sunglasses did nothing to improve the look.

"Called you?! My mom asked for a tutor not a baby!" His voice grew shrill as he grabbed tufts of his hair in panic.

"Tsk tsk, those manners of yours will have to improve deary." The baby waved his index finger as if scolding a child. "And I'm not just a baby tutor, I'm the greatest muay thai expert in the world! You should be honored to have the fabulous me mould and shape you into a mafia boss!"

"HIEEEE! MAFIA?!" Unable to fully comprehend what was happening he could only sputter in high-pitched tones. "Forget it! I don't need a crazy baby tutor!" Fleeing out the front door, Tsuna left the strange baby behind and hoped that he wouldn't be late to school and consequently beaten by the disciplinary committee. It was only by chance that he glanced back to see Lussuria merrily following behind him.

"Don't follow me to school!" Rounding the corner he caught sight of his crush and school idol, Sasagawa Kyoko. Snapping back around and nearly giving himself whiplash in the process, a light blush coloured his cheeks as he admired her from afar. When she stopped and looked in his direction he choked on air and made a strangled noise.

Kyoko is looking in my direction! Did she see me?

"Ahh how cute!" Tsuna's eyes bugged out when the delicate female kneeled in front of Lussuria.

No way! How in the world would Lussuria be considered cute?!

"Are you dressed up for something? You're so colourful!"

"One must always be dressed to kill in the mafia darling." Lussuria performed a dramatic hair toss. Kyoko giggled. Tsuna stood flabbergasted.

"That's so cool!"

Cool?! In what way!?

"Good luck with the mafia! Bye bye!"

"Taa taa!"

Stepping out into the open as his crush continued on her journey to school, Tsuna looked with disbelief to his self-proclaimed tutor who happened to be preening the feathers of his pet peacock.

"Women always have to stop and admire those graced with natural beauty."

"What!?"

"She's no where near my level, but I'm sure there's hope for your crush to blossom later on in life."

"Crush?!" He simultaneously clutched his hair and averted his eyes on reflex, his voice cracking in the process. "She's not — how did you — aughh!"

"No need to deny it boy, it's clear to me even with these shades on! Now, have you confessed to her yet?"

Tsuna denied.

Lussuria gleefully declared that he'd kill him.

After being insulted and kicked in the face a few times (the possibility that the baby really was a muay thai expert painfully coming to the forefront of his mind), Tsuna actually feared for his life when he was dealt a crushing blow to his abdomen that sent him flying and coughing blood.

"Open wide now! Make sure you swallow!"

Something was shoved down his throat and he didn't even have the energy to gag. All Tsuna could think about was that death was forced upon him by a baby, and Kyoko would never know how he felt about her.

"REBORN! CONFESS TO SASAGAWA KYOKO WITH MY DYING WILL!"


A/N: /hides in a ditch/ Soooo... this is something I started to try and get rid of my writer's block. Light mindless crack that will be made up as it goes haha. Obviously there will be several changes made from the canon-verse, and you can expect some arcobaleno!Varia to show up earlier/later than expected.

My readers waiting on my other stories: I'm trying my best. Please don't kill me.
