A/N: Well considering how long it takes me to write between chapters in Heir and the Spare: Rainbow Saint. I thought I should write some drabbles and one shots during weeks that I don't update it, that way you won't have to trouble yourself by waiting over how long it takes me to update my stories. This fic Shots in the Dark, Flashes of Memories will cover glimpse of past, present, future, AUs, and other POVs of certain events from H&tS:RS, including some unrelated random KHR shorts. While I'm on the subject I have a poll that you can vote for, so please vote on it.It's on the setting of the sister fic of Heir and the Spare: Rainbow Saint. So please vote on it, Please? Any who, here it is a chapter in the life of young Tsuna and his sister, Himeko. Review and tell me what you think of it.
Flashback 1: Of Brother and Sister
For most of his life, Tsuna wasn't particularly appreciated outside of his family. Not to say that he was a bad person or anything, it just was that, outside of his home life, most people viewed him as a person who wasn't really worth knowing or even acknowledging. The reason for it was simply because he had no redeeming qualities, which for the most part lead to him being the butt of everyone's jokes or others doormat. Fortunately, he wasn't bullied extensively as one of his social status, would generally be. This was due to his sister's influence.
Were as he was the pariah of his school's social hierarchy, his sister on the other hand was basically the Queen. Excelling at anything and everything, Tsuna could never catch up to her. Himeko, while aware of her superiority over her brother, never really seemed to cared over such things, always did her best to include her brother in everything. (She preferred having fun than social standings than anything else.) However, even with her attempts to include her brother, Tsuna rarely ever accepted her invitations. Aside from the from the scorn he received from Himekos friends and acquaintances, (though it always baffled Tsuna how unaware his sis was over how unfavored he was from others, but that's what made her his imoutou), he was generally to nervous and embarrassed to deal with his sis' posse that he preferred to leave them alone than to shame his sis with his lameness.
Not that he minded sister going out with her friends, after all he got to see her at school, home, and those days when it was just the 2 of them. So he never really minded that his sis was surrounded by friends, not by much anyway. It wasn't that he was jealous or anything. His sister should be allowed to have fun outside with friends, butfo so long its always been like that.
Himeko was the more confident one, the more social one, excelling at anything and everything. And, he was just Dame-Tsuna, the clumsy one, friendless, worthless, and a nobody. Truth be told he never really cared that other people didn't like him, it was just that he hated not having the confidence to match the world head on like his sis. Even so, he generally made it an effort not to let such thoughts to linger too long in his head very often. Unfortunately, he'd been depressed for a while, which led to him in the middle of who knows where gasping for breaths.
While he may love his sister to bits, he always hated how abnormally perceptive she was to his emotions. Realizing that her older brother was depressed in not having hanged out with her in a while she decided to play 弟どこにいるの? (Otōto doko ni iru no?- Brother where are you?). What is it you say?
Well, considering how awesome Himeko sometimes considered herself, she was aware of her older brother's insecurities. So whenever she sensed that her brother was depressed she would kidnap her brother, take him somewhere secluded, and... she would let loose the neighbor's dogs on him. Watching him run for his life was always fun to watch and a healthy dose of fear would help him get out of his funk. Looking at her brother flee from a pack of chihuahuas and other midgets dogs from her binoculars, Himeko thought of other fun activities to do with her favorite Aniki.
A/N 2: Truth be told I have a lot of plot bunnies to write with, and originally I was going to post the newest chapter of Heir and Spare today, kinda, but I had to cut it half way because it wasn't working now I'm reworking on it. Hopefully, I'll add a new chapter on it by next week. If not then there will be a new chapter for Shots in the Dark, Flashes of Memories next week so until then Read and Review.
