To Save A World
Disclaimer: I own none if this accept any OCs that might appear.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was famous for all the wrong reasons.
In the tightly knitted neighbourhood of Nanimori, the Sawada family was quite well known.
The beautiful mother, Sawada Nana, showered her twin sons with affection. Loving them both equally. Her husband, Iemitsu, was constantly absent, but was always hard at work to provide for his family. He never failed to call and visit once in a while to check up on his them.
The son, Ienari, was a shy but caring child, whom clearly loved his family. Taught the values of one by his mother, he was seen constantly helping his mother around the house and was never seen without his twin. The whole of Nanimori was infatuated by this perfect angel of a child.
They were the perfect family. A loving mother, a caring son and a hardworking father.
Then, there was the black sheep of the family.
The neighbours gossiped, about him. How he tripped over his own feet. How he still needed to be carried when his twin brother was already out running errands with his mother. How he already 5, yet no one had heard or seen him speak a single word. How he was never quite right in the head.
Yes, Sawada Tsunayoshi was a seemingly useless child who people were sure would never amount to anything. Yet he was blessed with a family who loved him despite everything. Everyone was sure that the no-good boy was nothing but a burden to the family.
However the family strongly disagreed with their opinions.
The first time one neighbourhood gossiper dropped the nickname 'Dame-Tsuna' in front of the Sawada matriarch, Nana had smiled sweetly and invited them over for dinner. Delighted at the chance to try her legendary cooking, the gossiper had immediately agreed.
The next day, they had to be hospitalised for sever food poisoning. When doctors tried to question them on the possible cause of it, they had looked absolutely traumatised. Refusing to speak a single word.
That incident had sparked a rise in food poisoning incidents in the neighbourhood. Many have tried to investigate a cause however nothing conclusive had ever came of it.
Ienari was also known to be very protective of his younger twin. Once, while the family was at a park, Nana was busy chatting with a friend while the twins played in the sand-pit. Tsuna had been building a sand mound when a older boy had come by and kicked it over. Stating, 'The Dame should stop trying to do something productive and just give up in life.' While failing to notice the darkening aura around his twin.
The bully had been subsequently disposed of, receiving a mouthful of sand for every word he had dared speak against Nari's beloved brother.
Nari had then been declared king of the playground.
Nana, after hearing what had happened, had clapped her hands happily, saying 'we have to celebrate Ie-kun's accomplishment', promising to cook her son's favourites for dinner. She of course, had made sure to invite the bully and his mother over.
"Tsu-kun! Lets go play!" Ienari grinned at his twin.
When he saw Tsuna smile softly and nod, Nari had to hold in the urge to squeal. His twin was so cute! Sure he himself was 5 and by all definitions cute too, but he had long decided that no one could compare to the adorableness that was his brother.
'Also,' Nari thought, 'Mama always says I'll be handsome and cool when I'm big, but tries to make Tsu-kun wear girl clothes.'
It was true. Nari was much bigger than other 5-year-olds. He had bright, spikey blonde hair and sky blue eyes, courtesy of his foreign blood. He was tall and lean, had sharp eyes and strong features. Loose a little baby fat and he would be an absolute heart throb in the future.
While Tsuna, was so small, most would guess he was a younger brother instead of twin. He had large, honey golden eyes, fluffy brown hair and a heart shaped face. One could easily mistake him for a girl.
As Nari found himself caught in fantasies of his cute little twin brother, Tsuna eyed him curiously.
Tsuna knew he wasn't as smart as his Nari-nii but he honestly couldn't understand his twin sometimes. Whenever he smiled at him, Nari-nii would start to stare of into space. He was getting really worried about him. Once Nari-nii had walked right into a street lamp but hadn't even registered the pain until Tsuna pointed out his bloody nose!
Sighing in exasperation, Tsuna clapped his hands in front of his older twin. Effectively snapping him out of his stupor.
"Ie-kun hurry up! Mama won't let us out if the sun's gone!" Tsuna whined.
"Hai, Hai lets go now." Nari made sure to avoid looking at his brother, less he end up cooing at the adorable pout.
Reaching out to take his hand, Nari led his brother out into the yard to play. Making sure to tell his mother where they were going. All while ignoring the unpleasant buzz at the back of his head.
Tsuna was in a great mood. He had been playing catch with his brother all afternoon, and it was so much fun! Sure he had tripped a few times, but Nari-nii had always made sure to pause the game and patiently put a bandage on his scrapes.
Tsuna was having so much fun he decided to ignore the little voice in his head, telling him to take his brother and go back inside right now.
Sure the voice had always been right, like that time it told him to go other way in school allowing him to avoid a bully. Or that time it told him not to drink milk in the fridge which had ended up making Nari-nii sick.
But it could be wrong right? After all no one could be always right. Besides Tsuna was sure that nothing bad could happen on such a great day.
Tsuna turned the corner around the house, running towards the front gate. Nari was hot on his heels, stopping to look over his shoulder, Tsuna smiled victoriously when he saw his brother was still a good distance away. He turned to resume running.
And promptly ran right into a wall of human muscle.
He stepped back, nursing his sore nose as he looked up to see what he bumped into.
He jumped in fright as he took in the sight of a man in a black suit.
The man smiled sinisterly at him and Tsuna took another step back in horror.
Nari was laughing gleefully as he turned the corner.
He stopped dead at the sight of an unknown man reaching towards his frozen brother.
Nari ran forward, "DON'T TOUCH HIM!" He screamed.
The man turned to smirk at him mockingly, before grabbing his frightened twin and lifting him of the ground by his collar.
Tsuna, finally regaining his senses, lets out an ear piercing screech, "HIIIIEEEEE!".
Nari saw red as he lunged at the man. Fury fuelling his actions as clawed at arm holding his brother.
"F***ing brat!" the man cursed and swung his free hand in a backhand. Striking Nari right in the face.
"Ie-kun!" yelled Tsuna in alarm.
Nari fell to the ground in shock. He whimpered in pain, tasting blood as his hand rose to cradle his face.
"Ie-kun? Tsu-kun?" came the worried voice of his mother.
Nari and Tsuna both stiffened simultaneously. Fearing the man would try and hurt their mother.
The man smirked sadistically. He threw Tsuna to the ground and reach into his pocket.
Tsuna yelped as he made contact but quickly scrambled over to his brother to check his injuries.
Suddenly the man wiped out a gun and pointed it at them.
"Go on, be good little boys and go back into the house to reassure your mama." The man beckoned towards the house with his gun.
Beyond scared at this point Tsuna grabbed Nari's arm and made a break for the house.
He was about to slam the door shut when a foot inserted itself in between the door and its frame.
The haunting image of the man peeking in through the crack in the door, smile resembling that of a devil's, had Tsuna stumbling backwards towards his twin.
The door creaked open slowly, tauntingly, as the twins watched in horror.
"Wha-" their mother's voice was abruptly cut of as she walked into their doorway.
Nana screamed in terror at the sight before her. Her babies were in danger!
She shut her mouth abruptly as the man fired a warning shot at her feet.
Nana flinched away but stared defiantly at the man, "What do you want with my children?!"
She twitched as she noticed the injury on her oldest but withheld the urge to run up to him, continuing to study the man.
The man let loose another smirk and Tsuna decided that the thing before him was no man, but a monster from the deepest depths of hell.
"Their deaths."
Tsuna saw the gun pointed at him
It fired.
Something warm splattered on his face.
Tsuna watched as his Mama fell backwards.
And he screamed.
Nari didn't understand.
The man wanted then dead.
Why? Why? Why?
He pointed a gun at Tsuna and Nari knew he had to move.
Because Tsuna was in danger and Tsuna was his little brother.
And Nari had to protect his little brother.
But he couldn't move.
Angry, frustrated tears sprung into his eyes.
Why couldn't he move?
Then there was sound of the gun going off and Nari knew he was going to loose his brother because he was useless.
But then suddenly Mama was there.
And then Mama was falling.
And Tsuna was screaming.
And so was he.
