Book of Secrets

There is a single book that contains a lot of information that only a few know; hidden in a dark and completely isolated in a part of an old library. One could lose his way towards there so why in the world would a kid probably no older than seven be making his way towards there with no hint of hesitation at all, as if he knows this place from the palm of his hands?

We all know very well that Tsunayoshi Sawada has been the target of bullies ever since he started to attend school. Due to his weak and shy demeanor, the brunet can't find the courage to fight back or even tell his mother what he's currently experiencing, fearing that his mother will worry nonstop.

Today October 23, was supposed to be the day of his field trip. His classmates and teachers would've gone to the Amusement Park then to Namimori Museum and lastly Namimori Library, the oldest and probably the creepiest library ever known.

Things should've gone well for the seven year old brunette but unfortunately, he was late for the bus. So instead of being with his classmates and friends, here he is now stuck with the bullies that were threatening him to come and follow them. Of course being the naïve and Dame-Tsuna he is, he obediently followed them like a lost puppy.

"He-hey, w-where a-are w-we go-going?" the brunet nervously stuttered as he slightly tripped over his foot. He tried his very best to not lost sight of the one in front of him.

"Just follow us Dame-Tsuna" One of the bullies, Daisuke, commanded as he forcefully tugged on Tsuna's right shoulder.

They have been continuously walking for ten minutes through the woods. If anyone saw children going here, they would probably wonder why they were there since it was quite rare for children to go through this path due to the rumors about a wild beast rampaging there.

If one would look closely to the eyes of one of the bully, it would seem he knows where they are headed for.

Tsuna has been trying his best to avoid the temptation to look at his sides. He fears that if he even takes at least one glance at his side he will see a beast jumping out of the bushes.

Tsuna covered his eyes with his hands and tried to peek at the bark of the trees. After clearly regretting his decision, the brunet shuddered from what he saw: Long claw marks that were left by a bear.

'Wh-what if a be-beast re-really sh-shows u-up?' Tsuna ponders as he fiddles with his fingers, a habit which he developed whilst he's thinking.

"Heh, scared are you?" Daisuke sneered as he noticed what Tsuna is doing. Tsuna could only look down in embarrassment.

Five minutes later, the small boy could see something from afar. In his eyes, it looks like an old big house that has been unused for years. It was dark brown and it could be mistaken for a mansion, since it is three stories tall. It also looked like it's been there for more than ten decades, since the outer design isn't something you would see so often these days.

"Tsunayoshi.."

Tsuna jumped back and look around suddenly, looking for the source of the voice, only to see no one except for the bullies he was with.

'I-i-it's not a g-g-ghost r-right?!' he though as he bit his lips and trembled slightly.

From what he had heard from his mother, ghosts only come for the bad kids. They get those naughty children that don't want to sleep at night and punish them.

'H-hiee, T-tsuna i-is no-not bad i-is he? Did T-Tsuna do a-anything w-wrong?' Tsuna fought the urge to let his tears fall since he knows that it would make his mother worry. Plus, his crying would only cause the bullies to tease him more.

"I-I can see it! We're here!" Akito, a friend of the Daisuke and also one of the bullies exclaimed joyfully as his finger point out in a certain direction.

Snapping out in his own dilemma, Tsuna looked at where Akito is pointing and he couldn't help but get the feeling that there was something bad in store for him.

They continued to walk until they were in front of their destination. When they approached the front of the building, Tsuna asked, "Wh-what k-kind o-of p-place i-is th-this?"

Daisuke and his friends smirked then looked at each other.

"You really want to know Dame-Tsuna?" Daisuke asked mockingly.

"Y-yes." Then all of a sudden, Akito and another bully grabbed Tsuna's side. The boy tried to struggle for a while but to no avail. The strength of those two were too much for a weak and fragile boy like him.

"L-let go o-of me!" Tsuna stuttered as he wiggled his arms.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to know what's inside this building? We're only doing you a favor Tsuna." Daisuke sneered as he open the front door. As soon as the door is opened, the two other bullies threw Tsuna in and they locked the door.

"O-open up! Please!" Tsuna begged as he banged the door a couple of times. Of course the bullies had no intention of letting the brunet out. Tsuna collapsed and fell in to his knees in defeat, crying uncontrollably.

"Don't cry Tsunayoshi.."

"W-whose t-t-there?" He asked as he choked on his tears. "A-are y-you a-a g-ghost?"

"Follow my voice and you will find the answers you seek."

Tsuna didn't comprehend what the voice is saying but he understood that he should follow the voice.

After a while, Tsuna manage to stop crying. When he did, he tried to stand up on his small, shaky knees.

"I-it's so d-dark i-in h-here." The brunet whispered to himself as he blinked and tried to adjust to the darkness. When he was finally able to see a little bit, he decided to walk for a while instead of being idle and staying where he was.

'W-what i-is a library doing in the middle of a rural area?' Tsuna asked himself after exploring the place. It seemed that the seven year old boy figured out that the building was a library instead of a mansion.

"Come here Tsunayoshi.."

As if on cue, Tsuna snapped his head towards his right and he walked swiftly towards the direction of the voice. It was as if an unknown force is drawing him in.

'Hiie... w-what's wrong with me?! W-why a-are m-my legs m-mo-moving on i-it's o-own?!' Tsuna mentally panicked and tried his best to cope with his current situation. The voice didn't answer Tsuna's question and decided to stay silent.

After taking many right and left turns, Tsuna finally stopped. In front of him was a small and dusty book that could be mistaken for a notebook because it was so thin.

"You're here… Your questions that are left unanswered can be answered here… Try opening it Tsunayoshi…"

Tsuna warily complied but the moment he touched the cover of the book a wave of warmth comfort hugs him, as if the book was telling him that everything doesn't matter now. The boy was at ease. He glides his fingers to the feel the smooth surface of the cover, and after a few seconds, he opened it.

What he saw completely took him by surprise. To him, it looked like the gods were playing a prank on him. He the closes the book, opened it again and scanned the pages. Nothing had changed, the book was really blank. No traces of writing could be detected.

"W-what's the m-m-meaning o-of t-this?!" Tsuna trembled, whether it was from anger, humiliation or fear, he didn't know.

First, he was threatened to follow the bullies, then he was dragged in to this dark, scary place and now he's hearing some strange voice telling him that he should go to some place only to find a book, and a completely blank one at that.

"Tsunayoshi…"

"W-wh-what?" Tsuna asked. It was obvious by the tone of his voice that he was tired. Tired of experiencing these kinds of things he didn't deserve. Was bullying not enough? He now has to talk to someone or something that he cannot see?

"Tsunayoshi.. I know that you have questions, now is the right time to ask."

"Why me?" This was the question which answer he really wanted to know. Why was he dragged in to this place? Why is he hearing some voice? Why was he bullied? He had so many question that needed to be answered.

A sudden bright light came out from the book and it opened. Tsuna walked quickly walked to the book, wondering about what was happening. When he took a look on the book, he could see writings in gold and silver. It said:

'You are the chosen one. Even tho-' the light from the book stopped and the writing also disappeared.

"Well, well, look what we have here, a lost boy who could also use the book like I do… "An eerie voice could be heard behind the brunet. When he turned around, he saw a tall, dark figure. Judging by his voice, the boy deducted that it was a man.

A light then suddenly flickered. That was when Tsuna saw a man wearing a yukata. The man walked towards Tsuna and crouched down until they were eye level. Tsuna trembled as the man's stare bore at him.

"Now, may I ask, who are you, boy?"
