Chapter 1
Introduction
Namimori Town was a fine place to live in. The air was clean, the grass was green and the people were friendly. There was little pollution but the town was industrialized enough that it had an airport, a seaport and some tall buildings. The streets were well kept and clean. There were rarely any accidents and the jail was rarely full because crimes were rare. To the ordinary viewer, it was just your average town with no strange occurrences whatsoever. But of course, Namimori was no ordinary town. Maybe the things, the structures and the small forests were but there were some people here who led extraordinary lives.
The Sawada residence was also like the other houses in Namimori. It was simple and made up of two floors and had a decent size. For a small house like this, there were actually several occupants. They were a boy and his mother, three infants, a child and another adult. A passerby in the morning might hear the people there bickering and shouting at each other. Some lucky ones could hear the sound of gunshots, explosions and crying. The even luckier ones could see a boy run out in the streets and running quickly while wearing boxers.
Today was a perfectly normal day like any other.
Inside the house, the time is 5:59 AM. A minute later, the alarm clock rings. The boy who lived in the second floor reached for the alarm and put it off. He woke up while rubbing his eyes and folded his sheets. He was greeted by an infant in a suit with a fedora and a chameleon on his hat.
"Good morning Reborn."
"Good morning No-Good Tsuna."
Tsuna sighed. We just came back from the future yesterday. After that, I promised him that I'd become Vongola Decimo. But does he still have to insult me over and over. (Sighs again.) If only everyone knew what kind of life I really led…
"Well, it's not like everyone can know about everything, the consequences would be dire."
Oh right, you can read minds.
"And here's for forgetting."
Reborn attempted to kick Tsuna at the back of his head. Think again Reborn. Tsuna dodged the kick quickly. Reborn landed on the bed and kicked his student at the back, hard. Tsuna swore his spine would break.
"You're gonna have to do better than that Tsuna. What if the Varia suddenly decided to kill you in your sleep huh? What would you do?"
"Well, it's not like something bad is going to happen yet. My intuition doesn't sense anything."
"In the world of mafia, you can never be too careful, you know?"
Tsuna nodded. He glanced at the clock which read 6:05.
"Reborn, aren't we supposed to be training?"
"We are. As soon as you get dressed."
Tsunayoshi Sawada was a 16 year old kid. He was a brunette and had small brown eyes. He was short for a kid of his age, about 5 ft. He wasn't that athletic, nor did he have good grades. He was often called No-Good Tsuna at school. Everyone thought that Tsuna was just an ordinary kid who lived his life like any normal person. But in reality, Tsuna was something more. He was wearing jogging pants, white rubber shoes and a sweater. It had become their daily routine with Reborn to run around town at least once at 6:00 AM to exercise and increase his stamina. Tsuna complained at first but eventually he got used to it. Sometimes, he actually enjoyed it. Their usual route started with Tsuna's house, then the underground mall at the center of town, the docks, the airport and finally back to Tsuna's house. They usually reached the house by 7:00 and then Tsuna would begin fixing his belongings for school. The day was a Tuesday.
Around 7:15 when he had completely fixed himself, he went down to the kitchen and saw that food was already prepared. Four people were seated there at the time. The first was a young lady with reddish pink hair and green eyes. She was quite tall and wore a blue shirt with light brown trousers. The next one was a child with brown hair and he wore a brown school uniform similar to Tsuna's. Next to him was a young girl dressed in a red Chinese outfit who had slits for eyes and she had her black hair tied in a ponytail. Then there was Reborn, wearing his mafia suit as usual.
"Good morning Tsu-kun!" said a woman at the table, cooking and serving those seated with rice and occasionally adding food to their plate.
The door to the kitchen opened with a bang and from there a child wearing a cow suit came in the room. He was carrying two pink grenades on his hands, clearly not your average child.
"I'm gonna get you this time Reborn!" he shouted. "Die!"
As the cow child was about to throw grenades at Reborn, the chameleon on Reborn's fedora transformed into a baseball glove. The grenades flew through the air heading for Reborn. Reborn caught each grenade and threw it back at the cow child. Both grenades hit him squarely on the chest and he was catapulted through the air by so much force. The door closed and an explosion was heard from outside.
"My, my Lambo-kun. Today's toys are quite realistic indeed. Why that explosion even sounded like it was real." Commented the woman.
"Okaa-san…" Tsuna sweatdropped at her comment. It was real.
"Oishi! This is delicious kaa-san!" remarked the boy.
"I-pin agrees!" said the young Chinese girl.
"Arrigato Fuuta-kun. Ipin-chan." Remarked Tsuna's mother.
"Nana-san, I'll be going out to collect some ingredients for the party next week." Said the seated woman.
"Thank you Bianchi-san!"
"Maman, what party?" asked Reborn.
"Well, it's Iemitsu's birthday next week!" answered the older lady.
(Flashback)
It was sunset. My husband, Iemitsu was leaving and going to a trip abroad.
"Nana. You like romantic men right?" asked Iemitsu. Nana nodded.
"Tell our child that I disappeared alright?"
Nana returned from her flashback. Then she began to cook like crazy, totally un-mindful of her sweatdropped.
"So he's coming back ey?" said Bianchi. Nana carelessly nodded to reply. After which, breakfast continued with almost no interruptions or conversation between the people. Occasionally Reborn would try to steal Tsuna's breakfast but after a few months of this kind of treatment Tsuna blocked Reborn's chopstick with his own much to Reborn's dismay.
"So you finally blocked my attacks?"
"You said it yourself that mafioso constantly live around danger. So I sharpened my reflexes and did a little practice to block that. Besides, it's been months since I last ate breakfast."
"True, true. Well done Dame Tsuna."
Tsuna continued eating his breakfast silently. After a while Lambo entered the scene.
"Gotta… Stay… Calm…" was all he could say before fainting. Fuuta carried him upstairs.
At 7:30, Tsuna left the house. There he saw two teens, both taller than him arguing. Of course, it was the usual routine.
"Didn't I tell you to stop following me?!" said the first angrily.
"It can't be helped. We have the same route to school after all." replied the second cheerily.
"Yamamoto-kun! Gokudera-kun!" called Tsuna.
"Ossu, Tsuna!"
"Ohayo Tenth!"
Gokudera had silvery white hair. He had silvery green eyes and pale skin. Yamamoto in contrast had black hair and tanned skin with amber eyes. In going to school, they both used the same route to get to Nami Middle which explained why they met at morning every day. They always passed by Tsuna's house to pick him up.
"Tsuna-nii! Wait for me!" Fuuta came out of the house.
"Ohayo Takeshi-nii, Hayato-nii!"
"Fuuta-kun! Why are you dressed in a uniform?" asked Yamamoto.
"It's my first day of school today!"
Fuuta went to Nami Elementary, a school very near Tsuna's. In fact, they had the same principal.
"We're actually going through the same route, so Fuuta-kun might as well tag along." said Tsuna.
The four walked through the streets of Namimori to go to Nami Middle at the north. After some time, they reached the school gate. They were greeted by two girls.
"See you later Tsuna-nii!" Fuuta walked westward to the elementary building.
"Ohayo Tsuna-kun." greeted one happily.
Kyoko-chan! Tsuna thought.
"Ohayo Dame Tsuna." the other girl greeted coldly.
"Don't you ever speak to the Tenth like that!" Gokudera scolded.
"Hmmph" she replied.
"Awww, I didn't catch the underwear guy!" shouted a nearby girl.
"Katou-chan!"
"I was looking forward to catching him this time." sighed Katou. She was carrying a handcam on her right hand. A pen was positioned at the breast pocket of her uniform and a notebook jutted out from her pocket. Clearly, she was a reporter.
"And he would have made a good cover for this weeks issue."
"Better luck next time Katou-san!" mocked Tsuna.
"Oh, maybe not now Sawada Tsunayoshi. But someday, I will catch you in your underwear for all the world to see." Tsuna froze and almost swore that her eyes turned demonic.
"TO THE EXTREME!"
"Onii-chan!" Kyoko greeted the newcomer.
"SASAGAWA RYOHEI! My motto is, EXTREME!"
Kyoko's brother had silvery white hair, though it certainly lacked luster compared to Gokudera's. It was shorter as well. He was taller and had bandages around his arms. He also had cuts around his face and had a muscular build.
"Onii-chan! Where did you go to this time?"
"Well, I ran around town once. The wind's so good today!"
"Figures, turf-head." remarked Gokudera coldly.
"What was that octopus-head?!" and the two stared at each so intensely that one could swear that lightning was coming from both their eyes and clashing at each other. Yamamoto and Tsuna sweatdropped. Kyoko and her companion were clearly amused.
"Then I'll settle for these two then!" Katou set up her camera again and caught Gokudera and Ryohei bickering. "This'll make a good headliner, Octopus Head vs. Turf Head!"
"Now, now you guys…" Yamamoto calmed them down.
Then the two of them let each other go, for now. As Ryohei turned his head away from Gokudera, his head turned to the direction of the other girl.
"Kurokawa!" Ryohei blushed.
"Ummmm..." He bowed down to her. Then he stood up with his eyes covered by his hair, though everyone could plainly see he was blushing. "MUST NOT BE LATE! TO THE EXTREME!"
"Blushing huh? I smell a lead here." thought Katou. "Well, see you later!"
Ryohei ran at an inhuman speed to his classroom, leaving the other girl to wonder what had just happened. Katou ran in the same direction, chasing Ryohei.
"Kyoko-chan, what did you do to your brother?" asked her companion.
"Nothing Hana-chan. But you know, he hasn't let me in his room ever since…" Kyoko paused and let her hair cover her eyes. "Ever since we came back from the picnic."
That was close! Tsuna and the other boys were relieved.
"What are you herbivores doing there, crowding around?"
There, they saw a teen slightly taller than them all with pale skin, though not as pale as Gokudera's. He had two tonfas at both of his hands, a prefect band around his right arm, the arms of his prefect coat hanging around carelessly in the wind and a murderous intent in his bluish-grey eyes.
"Hibari-san!" exclaimed Tsuna.
"Ah, Sawada." Hibari smiled, though slightly. "You'll be late if you don't hurry."
"Arrigato Hibari-san. Let's go."
The small group went to Class 2-A.
"Good morning class!"
"Good morning sensei!"
"First order of business, I'll be introducing a new student today. You can come in now."
A male student came in, carrying a backpack. He had reddish orange hair, and glasses on his eyes. The teacher began to write the student's name on the board.
"Konichiwa, my name is Irie Shoichi. Nice to meet you all." Shoichi introduced himself timidly.
"Yamamoto!" Yamamoto stirred at his seat near the window. "We haven't even started class yet and you're already sleeping!"
Yamamoto put his hand at the back of his head and feigned innocence. "Gomen ne, sensei."
Shoichi looked at his surroundings and saw Tsuna, Tsuna smiled back while Gokudera simply let out a,
"Hmmph." And turned away his head from the new arrival.
"Let's see, Irie-san. Take the seat behind Sasagawa."
Irie proceeded to the back row fearfully while avoiding the stares of the other students.
"Time for class."
Class went on for four more hours. Lunch was at 12.
"Tenth, where should we have lunch?"
"Tsuna-kun, Hana-chan and I are eating lunch at the roof. Want to come along?" Kyoko invited.
"Sure. What about Yamamoto-kun?"
"Baseball idiot? Oh I'll wake him up."
Gokudera turned towards Yamamoto. He then threw a baseball at the sleeping student. Miraculously, the baseball never hit its target. Instead, Yamamoto's hand shot up instantly and caught the baseball.
"That was a dirty trick Gokudera." Yamamoto said as he sat up straight with his eys covered by his hair and a smirk on his mouth.
"But really, that's a low quality ball you got there." Yamamoto's demeanor changed to a cheery one.
"Well baseball idiot, it's not like I spend my entire allowance on baseball. So I brought a cheap baseball just for these kind of things."
"I'm actually touched." Yamamoto laughed. "Let's have lunch."
"Irie-san, want to come along?" invited Tsuna.
"Umm… sure..." Shoichi said timidly.
The small group proceeded to the roof.
"Hey Tsuna-kun."
"What is it Kyoko-chan?"
"Haru-chan, Chrome-chan and I are coming later this afternoon to try cooking. Chrome-chan's been really interested in cooking ever since we came back… from our picnic."
Looks like her tongue almost slipped again.
"Picnic?" asked Shoichi.
"Ah, they disappeared during a picnic trip for two days and just came back yesterday. A week before that, they disappeared for three days." answered Hana.
After lunch, the day passed on slowly. Yamamoto slept through the entire class as usual, so did Gokudera. Gokudera was easy enough to notice and was reprimanded.
"Gokudera-san, why are you sleeping?" asked their female sensei.
"Because I feel like it." Gokudera replied coolly while still closing his eyes.
"Well then I hope you feel like answering this question." mocked the teacher.
"Go ahead sensei." Gokudera mocked back, with a smirk on his face.
"Here goes. If 3x plus 5y is equal to 30 and 4x minus 6y is equal to 2, what are the values of x and y?"
"Simple, x is 6 and y is 4."
"Let me check, nope it's wrong." Gokudera opened his eyes and was shocked because he was wrong. He slapped his hands on the table and stood up.
"How could that be wrong." Rage filled him though he did not dare make a move against the teacher.
"Actually sensei, x is 5 and y is 3." answered Tsuna.
"Well done Sawada."
"Wow, Dame Tsuna actually got the problem right for once." a nearby student commented.
Everyone was dismissed by 3:30.
"Hey, Tsuna-kun!" Kyoko remarked at the gate. "I'll see you later."
Tsuna could have sworn he saw a faint blush. He blushed as well. Kyoko ran towards her home to get Haru and Chrome.
And that concludes our first chapter! Liked it, hated it? Well I can say that it is kind of slow and the ending was kind of abrupt. Please comment! Try to not to flame please…
