"Tsu-kun. There's something I need to tell you."

"What is it, mum?"

"You know… what I am, right?"

"You're the Sorceress Supreme!"

"Yes, that's right. As you know, many people seek out Sorcerers and Sorceresses for their power. Right now, our presence has been masked by my magic. However, once you exit this town, you will no longer be protected by me.

You must be ready for what is to come."


It was dark and Tsuna and Giotto were getting ready to turn in for the night. After debating with himself for a little while, Tsuna had decided to leave the campfire burning. This way, there would be a very obvious segregation between Giotto and Tsuna. Prince or not, Tsuna wasn't going to be taking any chances with him.

"But Tsuna," Giotto whined from the other side of the fire. Tsuna didn't really know when Giotto had started using his first name, but he didn't really care. Instead, he immediately turned so that his back was facing the prince, ignoring him. Suddenly, Tsuna felt a hostile presence nearby and pushed himself up into a sitting position. He felt, more than saw, Giotto open his mouth to ask him something but Tsuna silenced him with a wave of his hand. He felt the presence get closer, and from Giotto's stiffening and sudden alertness, the prince had felt it too. Good, Tsuna wouldn't need to explain anything.

There was a blur of silver and something tackled Giotto to the ground, constantly attacking him with a flurry of claw swipes. Tsuna bit back a shriek and threw himself at the figure, restraining it. Swallowing his fear, he pointed at the struggling figure's face and frowned sternly. "You stop that," he commanded. Immediately, the figure stopped struggling. The light of the full moon was bright enough to illuminate piercing green eyes on an aristocratic face, with a mouth pulled up into a scowl.

"Tsuna!" Giotto's voice sounded rather scandalized. Tsuna blinked in confusion before realizing that he was basically straddling their attacker.

"Whoops," he said rather light heartedly and gracelessly slid off the body with a muted 'thump'. He recovered quickly and looked at the attacker. Now, he could see that he had ears (cat ears?) on the top of his head, and a silver tail bristling hostilely. "So, what's your name?" he asked.

"I am Gokudera Hayato, the werewolf bandit," he hissed out. Surprisingly, he made no move to get up from his place on the ground. Giotto walked up behind Tsuna, pulling on a pair of metallic gloves. Tsuna shot the prince an exasperated look before turning back to the silver haired bandit on the ground.

"Wonderful. You probably know by now that it isn't really in your best interests to be attacking us. So, would you like to stay the night? Being in groups would be rather beneficial to all of us," Tsuna offered. He didn't know where this goodwill was coming from, but he didn't question it. His mother did teach him to play nice with everyone, after all. And besides, it wasn't as if Gokudera had attacked Tsuna.

"Are you sure it's a good idea?" Giotto questioned. Tsuna nodded and the prince relented. It was Tsuna's quest, after all. The choices were ultimately up to him.

"Why would you do such a thing? Why would you grant me mercy?" Gokudera asked, green eyes wide with shock. Tsuna fidgeted under the stare, a little weirded out. Seriously? Did this poor guy never receive an act of kindness before?

"Because it's the right thing to do? Also because, as a werecat, it's not really safe for you to be out at a time like this. Especially considering that you don't have a pride… why are you looking at me like that." Gokudera was staring up at Tsuna with sparkling eyes. A dark shadow fell upon them, the clouds covering the moon, and Gokudera's cat ears and tail poofed out of existence. Tsuna fought the urge to smack his head against a nearby hard surface. His mother did say that were-animals were a strange bunch.

"You…" Gokudera quickly scrambled up to his feet and grasped Tsuna's hands in his. Tsuna twitched and fought the urge to pull away. "You are as kind as you are beautiful! And you're the first person to notice that I'm a werecat! Please, let me follow you for life!"

"What." This time Tsuna did pull his hands out of Gokudera's grasp. Forcefully.

"Tsuna, I don't think this is a good idea. I don't trust him," Giotto spoke up from behind him. Tsuna twitched once again and decided to take a deep breath to calm himself down.

"It's alright, your majesty." He tilted his head back and glanced up at the prince with wide, innocent eyes. "Don't you trust me?" Giotto stared at Tsuna for a while before his face suddenly filled with red and he fell backwards in a dead faint. Tsuna could almost swear he saw some blood as well, but he didn't want to think too much into it. If anything bad happened, well, he always had the dagger his father gave him, right?

"Lady Tsuna," Gokudera breathed. Tsuna winced.

"Just… Tsuna's fine. Please don't call me Lady," he said pleadingly. Gokudera shook his head.

"But I must address you with respect! How about… Tsuna-sama?" he tried. Tsuna's shoulders slumped in defeat.

"Well, it's better than Lady Tsuna…" he muttered to himself.


"Tsu-kun, I have something to tell you." Nana's voice was unusually solemn. Tsuna realised that whatever this was, it was of utmost importance.

"It's time you know what happened all those years ago, when you were born."


So, another weird one has joined our group. Tsuna sighed to himself, walking in between Gokudera and Giotto. The both of them didn't really get along well with one another, but Tsuna didn't know how to ease the tension between the both of them. Perhaps he should turn them both into cats and shove them into his bag until they can play nice with one another. It shouldn't be hard for him to charm one of the pockets to get big enough to house two cats.


Who next? Because really I don't know who to pick.

First five to state their preference, and I will use random name picker to pick from there?
