Wow! I want to thank all of you for all the favs and follows. You are amazing.
JUST SET ME ON FIRE : I want to thank you especially for the review. As for your question , I don't want to focus on pairings but I will think about this again, as the story progresses.
And now, enjoy the chapter!
He will become fourteen in one month , but he feels like he is forty .
He is in front of the school gates now.
'' You're late, herbivore. '' The leader of the disciplinary committee says.
'' I'm sorry Hibari-san! Please let me pass!''
Hibari doesn't let him pass , so Tsuna has to defend himself from tonfas and run away as fast as he can.
He bites his tongue.
'' Do not curse him!''
He swears that one day he is going to loose control and Hibari's body is going to be found at the bottom of the sea.
'' Dame-Tsuna answer the question!''
Nezu-sensei shouts at him and Tsuna wants to disappear, to run away from the classroom.
To not see how his classmates and the teacher are looking at him.
Mocking him.
'' I don't know the answer''. He says.
'' But I know how to kill you. All of you.'' He thinks.
He is angry. He wants to go home.
He looks at the clock. Time passes slowly. He glares at it.
Stupid clock!
'' I'm home!''
'' Welcome home, Tsu-kun! Wash your hands , your food is ready.''
Tsuna avoids to look at his mother's eyes.
They are filled with sadness. Sadness about his father who is never at home.
Sadness about him that he is a failure.
No friends , horrible school grades.
He feels guilty.
'' Tsu-kun , I've called a home tutor.'' Nana says and Tsuna stops eating.
'' Again?''
His mother thinks that her son asks because that tutor is going to be the third one.
The third one to die.
'' I am worried. Your grades are too low , you don't have friends. As a mother I had to do something. Besides look. The tutor says that he will teach you for free. The only thing I have to provide him is food and a place to stay. Isn't it amazing?''
Tsuna looks at the pamphlet his mother gave to him.
...will raise your kid to be the new leader of the next generation...
Tsuna rolls his eyes.
'' This is definitely a scam.''
Reborn hops down from the tree. He had investigated Sawada Tsunayoshi enough to come to the conclusion that his new student is...
Dull.
There is nothing intereting about the boy. He is worse than Dino.
Maybe it will be beter if he leaves now.
But Reborn has a job to do and he never quits or backs down from a job.
Just a moment later...
'' Oh look , he is already here! Open the door, Tsu-kun!''
Tsuna opens the door and stares.
It's a good thing that he is always looking down or he wouldn't see the baby.
'' Ciaossu! I'm the home tutor, Reborn.'' The baby says.
Tsuna stares. He closes the door.
He doesn't have time to deal with this bullshit.
He has flowers to buy.
He turns around and his eyes widen from surprise.
He doesn't have time to wonder how the baby had got in.
Reborn kicks him in the head.
First impressions are deceiving.
That's what Reborn thinks as his new student looks at the photos, he had given to him.
The photos are showing the dead bodies of Vongola Nono's sons.
Tsuna looks at them with excitement. He asks for the details of how they died.
Reborns answers and the more he talks the more Tsuna looks...
What is the right word?
Oh yes... Hungry.
For what exactly his student is hungry , Reborn doesn't know , but he will surely find out.
'' So, you come into my house and you tell me this whole thing about the mafia and you expect me to believe you and accept to become a mafia boss, just like that?''
Reborn nods his head in agreement.
Tsuna feels betrayed.
Why?
Isn't enough already that his father is never at home?
That all these years Iemitsu had lied to them?
Why?
What about what he wants to do about his own life?
Doesn't his own opinion matter?
He feels as a pawn.
Not a human.
Why?
He doesn't even want to think about how many people he might curse, while being in the mafia.
His own mother and the fact that Naminori is a peacefull town reduce his thirst for killing.
Tsuna is afraid that the mafia lifestyle is going to wake a monster inside him.
A caged monster.
Tsuna likes to think that he still has the control over his ability.
The voice in his head laughs sarcastically at this , but he ignores it.
That damn father of his.
The next time he will see him , Iemitsu is going to die.
'' I don't want to become a mafia boss.''
His voice is calm , like the voice he is using when he is cursing people.
'' And now, excuse me , I have to go somewhere.''
He has five graves to visit.
Had he cross the line? Five deaths in a week.
He wants to cry.
'' I can't stop.''
'' You don't want to stop.'' The voice speaks again and Tsuna nods in agreement.
Graves.
They just visited five graves and left one lily to each one of them.
Screw everything Iemitsu had told him about the boy.
Sawada Tsunayoshi is a mystery.
A mystery that Reborn swears to solve.
Ah yes...First impressions are deceiving, aren't they?
