Chapter One: My Brother, My Protectee

Dear Tsuna, you might be too little to read this right now, but I'm going to document our adventures - our as in you, me, and Hayato - as we protect you from the evils in the world. I promised Mama and Papa. When you read this, I just want you to know that... I love you. -Miakis

Splash! Crash! Bang! "Miakis, take my hand!" Miakis Sawada grabbed the hand that offered her safety, clutching to the bundle in her arms. "Hayato, pull me up!" She exclaimed. The silver-haired teenager, Hayato Gokudera, pulled her up onto the balcony, reading the dynamite. "Now?" He asked. Miakis nodded. "Blow the damn place up, Hayato." She mumbled. Hayato threw the dynamite at the brick house, clutching his lover protectively as she shielded the bundle from the explosion. She watched the house encase in flame as screams of assassins filled the air. "We're safe...they're dead." Hayato said, caressing Miakis's brown hair. "We're not safe until we're under a roof that can protect Tsuna." She mumbled, moving the blanket to see a baby's face. It was Miakis's little brother, Tsunayoshi - Tsuna for short - Sawada. "We'll find someplace, Miakis." Hayato promised. "I'll protect Tsuna." Hayato kissed Miakis's forehead.

Knock, knock, knock! Miakis grabbed her gun, pointing it at the door as Hayato readied some more dynamite. "Don't worry..." A calming voice from behind the door said. "I won't hurt the child." The door opened and a figure stepped in.

The figure had white hair, a purple tattoo under his left eye, and had a sweet tooth for two things - marshmallows and the brown-haired Sawada girl. "Ah, Miakis, beautiful as ever. I see you've found a lover to feed your hunger." The man said. "Byakuran. I figured you'd come for Tsuna." Miakis said, clutching her baby brother protectively. "Don't worry, I said I wasn't going to hurt the child, didn't I?" Byakuran replied. "I just wanted to give you a bit of information that I think you'll like..."

Byakuran snaked towards Tsuna's protectors. "I'm not the only one who's coming after your brother." He said, touching the infant's forehead with a pale finger. Miakis pulled Tsuna away. "Don't touch him; what did you mean by "not the only one"?" Miakis asked. Byakuran let out a sexy chuckle. "Don't worry, principessa. You'll find out soon enough." He winked before leaving the remains of the safehouse.

Hayato gripped his dynamite. "You bastard! You dare to lay a hand on Tsuna without permission? I'll blow you up!" Miakis placed a hand on Hayato's arm. "Don't. Let's get out of here." She said, pulling the hood over her head.

Hayato and Miakis ran and ran and ran until they couldn't run anymore. Luckily, they were near an abandoned barn. "Is anyone home?" Miakis whispered, peering into the barn. "I don't think so...Tsuna needs to rest. Let's stop here." Hayato replied. Miakis nodded and walked into the barn, closing the door behind Hayato. "There's lots of hay; we can use it as bedding." Hayato suggested. Miakis nodded and lied down next to her lover, clutching Tsuna close to her chest. Hayato lay down next to her, wrapping his arms the both of them. "Don't worry, Tsunayoshi..." Miakis murmured. "I will always protect you."

The two of them slept soundly until they were awoken by a deep, matured voice.

"Hey, Giotto, I think you might want to see this."
