Thanks for all your reviews, favorites and follows! You were my main motivation to finish chapter 2!
WARNINGS: UNBETAED, OOC, LANGUAGE (*cough* Ricardo calling his Intuition names *cough*).
.
Ricardo di Vongola went through quite a lot in his nearly thirty years of life, being the cousin of a person like Giotto guaranteed that. But being reborn in another world, under a different name, in a different time and place, and to different parents was on a whole new level. He wasn't even going to start on his different appearance. His name became Sawada Natsuyoshi- Natsu for short- and he wondered if it had any connection to the name his cousin chose after leaving to Japan, or the person he met briefly before being reborn.
Ricardo-Natsu at his 'brothers'; Ieyasu, whom his mother called 'Ie', and Tsunayoshi, who was called 'Tuna-fish', looked a lot like his cousin and 'Tsuna' respectively.
Were the three of them- Giotto, Ricardo and Tsuna- reborn as brothers? The other two did have the names and looks.
But he didn't.
He didn't look like Ricardo anymore; he wasn't called Ricardo anymore.
Did that mean that the other two weren't Giotto and Tsuna, and that the likeness was a mere coincidence?
No, it wasn't. His Intuition agreed with him.
Rolling so that he'd lay on his stomach, he looked at his 'older brother', and spoke as clearly as he could with a two-year old's mouth, in Italian, "You're too complacent, Gio."
Ieyasu's head snapped towards him, and then he lunged at him, crying, "Rica!"
How Ricardo-Natsu abhorred that nickname.
.
Ricardo-Natsu (it's just Natsu now, remember?) made sure to carefully observe his surroundings, from the way his 'mother' moved around the house to the devices that were completely new to him.
His first priority at the moment was to familiarize himself with the way this world worked so that he wouldn't make any notable mistakes. On the other hand, Ieyasu (that lazy little shit) went around being freaked out by the objects that were new to him and cooing about how adorable their 'little brother' was and calling him 'Tuna-fishie'.
Rica- Natsu pitied him; the poor thing was the center of Ieyasu's attention, and he didn't seem to enjoy it if the unimpressed looks he kept on giving Ieyasu were any indication.
His second priority was getting to know his new family. This one was simpler, even if it was set back because of his 'father's' presence, or lack of it.
For him, Sawada Iemitsu was a face in a picture and a vague memory of a person starting the trend of calling Tsuna, 'Tuna-fish'.
His mother was a loving person with a cheerful, optimistic personality if a bit naïve and she took care of her three sons despite being alone. Which begged the question, wasn't there anyone to help her? So, okay, he and Ieyasu were actually adults and mature enough (hopefully, in Ieyasu's case) to know not to make messes or kick up too much of a fuss; and Tsuna was smart and well-behaved for a kid, but it didn't change the fact that they were nearly two and couldn't really help her much. The most they could do was pick things that weren't too heavy for them off the floor.
And there was Tsuna, probably the greatest help in the house. While Natsu tried to learn and held himself from reacting the way Ieyasu did, he still held some wariness in the face of the unknowns in the house; but Tsuna seemed to absorb what their mother taught them like a sponge and didn't have the same reluctance Natsu and Ieyasu had. Natsu wouldn't admit it, but seeing adorable, fluffy, innocent Tsuna fearlessly handle it gave Tsuna courage to imitate Tsuna's actions, to a degree. As embarrassing as it was, having to lean on his little brother for a thing like that.
Ieyasu, that idiot, was absolutely useless.
.
The three of them were in their shared room; Ieyasu was playing with a collection of shiny marbles, Natsu was staring at him from where he was reading a children's encyclopedia about inventions in the last century (it was actually meant for kids at least half a dozen years older than him but he didn't let it stop him) and wondering about when Ieyasu reverted toa child's mentality before remembering that that was Ieyasu's mentality. His musings were interrupted when Tsuna giggled, Ieyasu immediately started cooing about Tsuna's cuteness while Natsu stared at him warily; that giggle was reminiscent of his late Chief Advisor's giggle whenever he came up with an embarrassing, mentally scarring scheme. It brought back memories, horribly embarrassing ones.
.
Natsu and his siblings were three when he showed up.
The 'he' in question was a teenager with silver hair, green eyes, a scowl and a lot of rings and chains. He also scarily resembled G..
And Tsuna had latched onto him with a cry of, "Haya!"
Natsu was already in the process of moving to extricate Tsuna from the dangerous-looking, older guy when the so-called Haya's cheeks reddened. Natsu worried that he was angry, and was shocked when he heard the G. lookalike stutter, all his irritation disappearing and the blush on his face intensifying, "T-Tsuna-sama!"
Tsuna-sama?
"Nii-chan!" Tsuna waved at Natsu, "This is my friend, Hayato! But I call him Haya!"
Natsu was feeling lost, his little brother- adorable, clueless Tsuna- was latching onto a dangerous-looking teenager- definitely at least ten years older than him- who was bowing to him, to Natsu, and respectfully introducing himself as Gokudera Hayato and stating how 'honored' he was to be 'privileged' to meet 'Tsuna-sama's esteemed aniki', and his Storm within him was preening about 'showing respect to the boss.' His Intuition, that ass, didn't deign to give him a response, merely content with humming at the back of his mind.
"Ara, Natsu-kun, Tsu-kun, it's time for lunch."
Their mother appeared at the doorway, a fresh-from-the-bath Ieyasu peeked from behind her and zeroed in on Hayato who still had Tsuna attached to his person.
"Who are you? And what are you doing with Tuna-fish? Let Him Go."
An oppressive presence exploded out of Ieyasu as he stared down the person who wasn't there when he left. It was a time like this that reminded Natsu that Ieyasu wasn't a complete child and it relieved him as he thought Ieyasu had succumbed to the mind of a child. Ieyasu's heart would always be in the right place. But it appeared that his mind wasn't. Natsu felt a bit insulted; didn't Ieyasu trust him to protect their family?
"Who are you talking to, Ie-kun?" Their mother blinked down at Ieyasu, who seemed to deflate and stare at their mother, mouth agape. Natsu wasn't faring much better, didn't she see the extra person in the room?
Wait.
Did she see Hayato?
Natsu focused on the way her eyes looked around the room curiously and with slight wariness at a possible intruder in the house with her own children, but never did her eyes focus completely on Hayato.
"Ie-nii," Tsuna frowned at Ieyasu, making him take a step back in surprise; Tsuna never gave them that look. A look which resembled a parent being disappointed with the way their child behaved, berated them and made them apologize. Tsuna proceeded to prove the likeness scarily accurate when he continued, "That was rude, apologize."
Ieyasu was feeling too out of his depth to do anything but comply with the order, and it was an order, Natsu could tell.
"S- Sorry."
"Hayato." Tsuna pressed Ieyasu further.
"Hayato." Natsu noticed his mother perk up at the name and focus her gazed right where Hayato was standing; Hayato himself was blushing and standing at attention next to Tsuna, ready to slip in front of him to hide him if necessary. Natsu silently approved.
"San." Tsuna's frown deepened.
"Hayato-san." Ieyasu looked so heart-wrenchingly guilty and regretful, it tugged at Natsu a little.
"Ah! Haya-kun! Come and join us for lunch!" Nana gave a look towards Tsuna, who adorably saluted in response and dragged Hayato with him towards the kitchen, Hayato was protesting and saying that he didn't want to impose, but he never tried to use his bigger physique to overpower Tsuna and leave.
Natsu and Ieyasu merely stared at each other and wondered just what happened.

With this ends the second chapter~
