We are back! Tell me if there is anything wrong with this and I'll do my best to correct it.

Onto the disclaimer, which I say because I can't afford a disclaimer man T-T

Tsuna was neither popular or unpopular amongst his peers and was mostly left alone. Tsuna preferred this because he doesn't like attention, but it gets awfully lonely sometimes. Tsuna had been bullied before, though not to any serious extent (Tsuna had a feeling the reason it stopped was because of his mother, there was no way she didn't know and there had to be a reason it stopped so suddenly, not that he was complaining) and this combined with his reclusive nature and paranoia of his soul marks meant that he was uncomfortable with anyone but his mother touching him.

Eventually though, there were situations where Tsuna was going to be touched and he would have to put up with it. On this particular day, Tsuna was starting elementary school and the teacher decided that they should get to know each other. The way she went about this was randomly putting several kids together and telling them to talk. Tsuna hadn't appreciated the sudden arm grab from the teacher, nor did he enjoy being dragged over to four other children and ceremoniously dumped there. He could have walked there just fine thank you. Tsuna held back any mean comments though as his mother had taught him to respect his teachers and to be polite to his peers. Nana Sawada's word was law in the house and not even a police man could over rule her as they would find themselves bending to her will without even realising it.

The group he was in consisted of two rather ordinary looking kids, one boy and one girl who had already started talking to each other about rather average things that consisted of toys, movies, family and other subjects that kids would normally talk about. The girl near him however seemed a little bit more than just a face in the crowd. She was an amber haired girl who had golden eyes and a strikingly similar smile to his mother which was saying something because his mother had most warmest smiles of them all (Tsuna also had these smiles and they where even more blindingly harmonious than his mother and the little girl but Tsuna was rather oblivious to these kind of things you see).

Nearby he could see a dark haired girl with a scowl on her face and a young red headed boy who was quivering under her gaze and fumbling to straighten his glasses. Somewhere else in the gaggle of children he could also see a cheerful black haired boy laughing care freely while the others seemed to swarm him despite being told to stay in their groups. His focus however was quickly brought back to the smiling girl. He felt himself flushing slightly because of how pretty she was.

"Hi, I'm kyoko, what's your name?" she asked sweetly tilting her head at him in an endearing way and Tsuna gulped. There was no mistaking it, he read those exact words over and over again in the little notebook his mother got him to memorise his soul marks. He managed to somehow utter out a greeting "I-im Tsuna!" and smiled slightly hoping it didn't weird her out. Kyoko could feel her heart race for two reasons and rubbed her arm while staring admiringly at the golden smile presented at her (These sunny smiles where becoming a real problem in Namimori, just the other day Nana and Tsuna had smiled at each other so much that one could feel the sun melting under the pressure and a nearby crow fainted while a passer-by was momentarily hit with a harmonious feeling that was coming off of the closest house to him like a tidal wave)


Tsuna had never expected anything so good to happen to him on his first day, let alone finding his first soul mate, which most children didn't even find at this age. Sasagawa Kyoko was a rather popular young girl that made boys swoon even at the tender age of six, though Kyoko seemed rather oblivious to this. Whether or not their classmates accepted this revelation that him and Kyoko where soul mates was a bridge to burn at a later date. Right now, what was more important was the fact that Tsuna was meeting Kyoko's first soulmate. The idea that he wasn't kyoko's first soul mate was a little bit dampening but Tsuna pushed this aside, now was not the time for jealousy. Jealously was such an ugly emotion that Tsuna hated more than lies.

Tsuna hadn't expected that someone so innocent and kind could have such a soul mate like this one and upon further inspection, realised that it was the girl from earlier who was sending that other boy into a seizure just by her look. Then again, it could be that the boy was just really socially awkward as his reaction to the other students consisted of a lot of fumbling and stuttering. Nonetheless Tsuna was a little scared.

Kurokawa Hana was a mature girl with an icy gaze and a silver tongue that could destroy a man after a few minutes of verbal bashing at the mere age of six. Kyoko may have been something different to the nameless faces in this classroom but Hana was something else entirely. Hana had studied and examined Tsuna very carefully as if judging him of his worth. She eventually pressed her lips into a thin line and her eyes had become a little less harsher and that seemed to be a signal of sorts that she was satisfied slightly with what she saw. "You better not be like those other monkey's" Hana's words pierced through him and he jolted. He followed her gaze to a bunch of scruffy looking boys who appeared to be poking a bit of fun out of another boy who was thinner and looked more neatly dressed. If she was asking if he was anything like those boys then Tsuna would have to disagree because despite being humble and modest, he would never stoop to their level.

Still Tsuna gave a rather humble and modest reply anyway, which consisted of a rapid shaking of the head and the slightly awkward "em-no, at least I hope not" and shuffled nervously and Hana appeared to jolt slightly at the words coming out of his mouth before gaining back composure and nodding. Tsuna let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and Kyoko seemed to be even more cheerful than before, if that was even possible.


The reason for kyoko's wider smile was because she knew of Hana's other soul mark that belonged to Tsuna. The idea that they where all soul mates was very exciting to kyoko who had dragged them off, with surprising strength, to the corner of the playground where nobody seemed to be looking. Kyoko had turned on them and excitedly chipped up in a quiet voice as if she was about to say something taboo "Can I see them?" It wasn't difficult to figure out what she meant. It was important to know that looking at someone's soul mark without permission was very rude and even the worst kind of people followed this unofficial rule. However Kyoko was his soul mate and she had asked his permission, plus it was her soul mark too so she had every right to see it.

Tsuna was glad that Kyoko and Hana's soul marks where on the same arm so he didn't have to reveal any of his other soul marks. That was another bridge to burn at a later date, perhaps when Tsuna feels comfortable enough to trust them with something so precious. Tsuna carefully unclasps the black wrist band that covers his entire left wrist and shuffles the fabric of his white hoodie that has a tuna on it upwards to reveal his soul mark. Kyoko looks in wonder at the words wrapping around his wrist like a bracelet and tentatively reaches forward "Can I?" she asks hesitantly and Tsuna nods. Kyoko then gently traces her fingers across the sunshine yellow words surrounded by a light pink and even goes over the little curls in each letter which adds a sort of girly touch to it. Tsuna blushes ever so slightly as the only other person who touches him is his mother and to have his wrist caressed so gently by someone is an odd feeling.

Even Hana looks in awe of them and it's then that Kyoko perks up again "Can we see Hana's?" and she looks between him and the mature girl excitedly. "Erm...if Hana doesn't mind?" and Tsuna looks over at Hana enquiringly who shrugs but can't hide the slight interest in her eyes at the thought of seeing her soul mark on him. Tsuna shifts up his hoodie sleeve again to reveal Hana's words curling around his forearm in elegant script, which suited Hana quite well. The words where in a rouge colour that faded into blue which might have looked garish anywhere else but seemed to go well here.

Hana didn't bother going up and feeling them and Tsuna didn't expect her to either so Kyoko piped up again when the moment was over. "We should show him ours now!" Kyoko says looking at Hana imploringly who just rolls her eyes and nods. Kyoko quickly shuffles up her sleeve to reveal his marks on her upper arm in a blazing orange that seemed to swirl around almost elegantly in a form that was neither chicken scratch nor in a fancy and professional style. Tsuna stared in awe of them, hardly imagining that his marks could look so breathtaking. "Want to touch them?" she asked and Tsuna nodded automatically and reached out hesitantly. He blushed again but tried to put the fact that he was touching someone else to the side and focus on what was in front of him. When his fingers moved across the surface, the mark seemed to react to his touch and pulse with a warm energy that made Tsuna feel at home.

I think I'm just going to leave it there as I don't imagine him seeing the other marks is particularly important as they are basically the same.

Anyway, I think I am going to skip the scene where the Ninth seals Tsuna's flames as I want Tsuna to trigger his flames at a later date in a particular scene you will get to in later chapters.

I hope you enjoyed!
