Sawada Tsunayoshi was having a horrible day. First, his mom called an infant to be his tutor, then he somehow ran to school in his boxers and confessed to the girl he crushed on!

COULD HIS DAY GET ANY WORSE?

He sighed as he opened the door to his house, taking off his shoes, muttering an inaudible 'I'm back' to who he thought was his mom, no being able to resist the urge to just plop on his bed and sleep.

But instead, he walks into someone's chest, and felt older arms wrap around his back.

"Welcome back!" a masculine voice greeted.

Tsuna's eyes snapped open. He thought he'd been looking at a mirror. Then he noticed the male before him was taller, more muscular, and had a confident air around him. The exact opposite of what he himself was.

"Woah, you've grown! I barely recognize you!"

Confusion shone past the eyes of the older male. "What's with that 'who-is-this-random-guy' face?" he questioned before realization passed him like thunder. "Don't tell me you don't remember me?"

The way he freaked out was so cliche Tsuna sweatdropped. Then, Tsuna nodded. That sent the older male into emo corner immediately.

"Hey, Ieyasu-what the hell are you doing?"

Tsuna mentally freaked out when he saw an unfamiliar redhead stepping into view from his living room.

The male's hair was red, with a hint of pink and he had the tattoo of a red flame down the the right side of his face. When he noticed Tsuna, he sighed.

"Lemme guess, he didn't recognize you?" he asked. Ieyasu nodded, tears at his eyes. He groaned rolling his eyes. "Hey, c'mon, he was five the last you saw him."

"But, G..." Ieyasu whined.

G smacked him. Then he turned to Tsuna. "This is Sawada Ieyasu, your older brother by ten years." he said. "I'm Gokudera G, Friend A. Ignore me."

"I-I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi..." Tsuna introduced himself out of reflex. Who was this overly polite guy? Then, his mind registered what the older male had said. "Wait, Sawada Ieyasu? My older brother?"

G nodded.

"HIEEEE?"


"I'm Reborn! Nice t'meet cha!" the infant acted cheekily. "I suppose you are Sawada Ieyasu, Dame-Tsuna's older brother who rejected the position of boss?" he asked.

Ieyasu nodded, putting on a face that was serious and stoned. Reborn was taken aback. This guy, unlike his lame excuse of a brother over there was perfect to have been Decimo.

He knows about the Mafia and all. He was taken to Italy for that exact purpose-but he had rejected the position, and Nono had to send him to Japan to train the younger brother due to Ieyasu's persistence.

"Nice to meet you, Reborn." Ieyasu relied surprisingly cheerily, with a sweet smile. G sighed.

Reborn's eyes drifted to the redheaded male. This was the older brother of Smokin' Bomb Hayato, as well as the closest friend of Sawada Ieyasu who had rejected the position of Storm Guardian when Nono had suggested it, right after Ieyasu had rejected position of Boss.

Nono had conceded to his wishes as well, to Reborn and the rest of the Vongola Famiglia's surprise. That was when Reborn realized.

There was something more to Sawada Ieyasu than what he was told.

And another reason he had made this trip was to find out what.

What made Sawada Ieyasu so special?

Why did he turn away from an opportunity like this-an opportunity to be the Boss of the most influential Mafia in the whole world?


"Dame-Tsuna? Is that what they're calling you now, Tsu?" Ieyasu laughed.

Tsunayoshi felt an invisible arrow strike him where it hurt. He soon went to emo corner.

"Sorry!" Ieyasu apologized, panicking, "Don't worry, I used to be called Bakayasu!" Ieyasu tried.

G sighed. "Is that supposed to cheer him up?"


Reborn watched as the scene unfolded before him. This was the first step towards what would be unfolding a secret no one should know, he knew.

He didn't know how he knew.

He just did,

As if Vongola Primo had just whispered it in his ears.

Huh? Why did he just think that?

Whatever. Couldn't have been anything important.

There must have been too much Vongola information stuck in his head.

...

Right?
