Thank you Ozora Wings for the help!
Disaclaimer: I'm by no means the author of Katekyo Hitman Reborn, who ever told you that has lied to you.
I looked at him, the one who would be the leader of the mafia family I despised so much, his family had caused the death of my loved ones and still made fun of me by inviting the Shimon to the inheritance ceremony of the tenth boss of the Vongola, Tsunayoshi Sawada.
Seeing him, he looked normal, even a little airheaded, but appearance could deceive and knowing he was the son of Iemitsu, I was sure of that.
When he greeted my family, reached out his hand, looked at me with those big brown eyes and finally smiled the world around me stopped for and endless moment. His gaze met mine, and our hands gently touched, while those plump, pink lips beamed at me, which filled my chest with an unknown feeling. As our hands parted my heart seemed to stop beating. It was an almost painful feeling and I crossed my arms over my ribcage to protect it. In that instant I knew, Tsunayoshi Sawada would be nothing but trouble to deal with.
Days passed and the short, brown haired boy resulted to be clumsy and kind of stupid, furthermore it seemed that he was the favorite prey of the bullies in this school, so he was constantly targeted by them. Even his own cloud guardian beat him up if he didn't follow the rules, or how he would always say: "Bite them to death." After so little time I could already relate to him, I too was no good. I suck at school and got frequent beatings from others. Tsunayoshi who had also noticed the similarities between the two of us had tried to talk to me but I didn't want to share the same feelings with him nor be alike, so I ignored him without being too obvious. We were born enemies after all and here I was getting all emotional on him.
One a usual day I tried to run from him again but this time I ended up tripping… great! Just damn fucking great. If tripping was bad than this had to be totally outrageous, not only did I trip in front of my enemy. No! I had to trip, than stand up only to trip again on a freaking banana, then I rolled down the hill and guess what? My journey of embarrassment hadn't ended! No! I ripped my clothes in the process of rolling down because of some damn fragment of glass. That hurt like hell and I was bleeding! Well and to top all that of I fell into the river…! Even if I can't do anything right, this was just too much. I swam to the side of the river to get out of it and saw a hand in front of my eyes.
"Are you okay? Let me help you!", said a voice that I knew fairly well.
I took the hand in mine and let me be pulled up. I was soaked, my hair was drenched and water ran down my face.
"You must be freezing, and you're bleeding come with me back home. It's really close and you could take a hot bath Enma-kun."
Only now I looked him in the face. Warm brown eyes were filled with worry as he watched me. Without waiting for an answer he took my hand, dragged me all the way to his house and pushed me into it.
"Mum I'm back. One of my new friends got soaked so I took him home!", he called out.
All of a sudden three little kids came running, screaming: "Tsuna-nii you're back."
Then a woman with brown hair as well as brown eyes appeared with a big smile on her lips. She looked a lot like Tsunayoshi, only with breasts and stuff. His mother I assumed. She saw her son and welcomed him cheerfully than her gaze wandered to me and became concerned on the spot.
"Tsu-kun why didn't you tell me he was wounded. I will get the first aid kit. Just wait a second dear."
She ran into the bathroom and came hasted beck.
"Come on ähm…!", she said hesitantly.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself to you M-Mrs. Sawada. Hello I'm E-Emna Kozato. I-It's a pleasure to meet you."
Her smile returned to her features as she asked me to sit down. She put some liquid on a cloth and wiped my wounds carefully. She seemed to have experience, perhaps because of her son, for it didn't hurt as bad as when Adel did it. Whenever I flinched she would look at me anxious and repeatedly apologize. I would just smile and tell that her she didn't need to and I was very grateful for her treatment.
"Done! Now you can take a bath. When you're finished I will bandage it, okay?", she stated just as merrily as before.
"Thank you very much Mrs. I am in your dept."
She giggled and turned to leave as she said: "You are welcome!"
Then she was gone.
"Do you want to take a bath now?", asked someone out of nowhere.
"Ihhjeks!", I squeaked completely startled.
"Hieee- I'm so sorry I didn't mean to frighten you. Are you okay, Enma-kun?", a voice I now recognized as Tsunayoshi's said remorsefully.
"Ye-Yeah, no problem. I'm perfectly fine.", I stuttered out incompetently.
Why did I have to be so jumpy? Who cares? He saw how I got like this, so this can't hurt my image anymore.
"All right, that calms me. So do you want to take a bath, shower or both? You can sleepover today and I can lend you some of my clothes. How does that sound?"
Completely perplexed I just nodded my head dumbly while saying: "Good!"
