DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING
Angelica Cruzada, recently christened as Yamamoto Takeshi, cried for four hours after his birth then promptly fell asleep.
After 12 hours of blissful sleep, he got awakened when a cry near him pierced the silent air. Nurses rushed in to try and placate the crying baby that also resulted into a symphony of crying babies.
Angelica- no, Takeshi wouldn't bother to cry. He'll just stare at the ceiling for all it's worth. Being a baby sucks as he's helpless and dependent, he hopes to grow up soon but maybe he can enjoy being a kid.
He still have his previous life's memories where the KHR Universe is just a manga and anime series but he can only remember certain parts. He knows all the arcs but he couldn't remember much aside from the battles and how Hibari is constantly saving him whenever he loses. He just hope everything will turn out well.
What continue to puzzle him is that being Yamamoto Takeshi is his third life. What about his first life? And why can he still remember his past life?
He unconsciously suck his thumb as a nurse brought him back to his parents. He'll just have to bite the bullet and wing it, just as he's previous motto is. For now, he'll enjoy the love he's getting from his parents.
A one year old Takeshi is a ball of energy, always crawling and reaching for places he shouldn't reach. When he started to stand, he always run. The poor parents, Tsuyoshi and Yukino, always got a work out.
The only time Takeshi is still is when he is eating his baby food and drinking his milk as well as when he's asleep. His parents are grateful that Takeshi takes frequent naps, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Takeshi gave his parents a heart attack when he somehow opened a drawer with a hidden compartment for his mother's guns and pulled out one and 'accidentally' clicks the safety off. Then promptly clicks the safety back on again. When the safety is on, Yukino snatched the gun away from his son and started scolding him while internally scolding himself. Takeshi just pretended to cry at first but he really did cry because Yukino is screaming at him.
After calming down, Tsuyoshi and Yukino are soothing him to stop crying and explaining why it's dangerous for him to handle guns. Then Takeshi calmed down and Tsuyoshi treated him some ice cream as Yukino hide his guns again somewhere secure.
For little Takeshi, its puzzling why his 'mother' is a detective while his father is a hitman turned sushi chef, as well as they're both Alphas but thanks to modern medicine almost every Alpha, Omega, and Beta can have their own child. At least that's what those magazines and books say on his mother's study.
Maybe he'll find it out soon.
Two years old Takeshi can take baths alone, can pee alone, and can eat messily on his own (chopsticks are hard okay?). He's also easy-going and always a happy kid because he's so easy to please. He's also well-behaved but can get along well with kids his age.
So it comes as a surprise to him that he's on fire while playing in the bath alone, not just any fire but the Rain Flame engulfs his entire body. As suddenly as it come it just vanished and he just resumed playing again.
His mother came to pick him up and dry him from his bath, it was too early for him to get out of his bath but Yukino insists that he'll double his bath time. Takeshi conceded. Wrapped in a fluffy towel fresh from the dryer, he immediately fall to sleep, not noticing the Rain Flame engulfing him again then suddenly vanishing and his parents' knowing stares.
The second time his flames act up is when he cried over his parents gifting him a puppy on Christmas, they were surprised that instead of the strong Rain Flame, weak Sky Flame glows on Takeshi's hands. Takeshi is not expecting it but theorized that Sky is his secondary flame in this life.
You see, Angelica Cruzada is a Sky Flame User back as a Jail Guard. A very valuable Flame User to harmonize the Outlaws' Flames from the Mafia. She uses the Arnis and her two 9mm Glock 19 to subdue them on fights. Back then, she also have a secondary flame which is the Sun Flame. Takeshi wonders if he will also have the Sun Flame but he theorized it will be unlikely as at most people have two Flames with Gokudera being the exception.
But his parents are puzzled as the Flames are hereditary and both are Rain Flame Users as well as they don't have a secondary Flame. They just chuck it as Takeshi is their special, unique, and lovable child.
The puppy licked Takeshi's chin affectionately and Takeshi laughed as it tickled him. He named his gray puppy Pretty.
The bullet slowed down as it was engulfed in Rain Flames then fall in front of his mother's feet. Takeshi is just 3 years old when he saved his mother's life in front of an ice cream parlor where they had just dessert as a family of three. Then he promptly blacked out of exhaustion then woke up in a hospital.
The incident is not covered by any newspaper or any media and people chuck it as something unusual in their lives but the Yamamoto family are not normal. What happened was there is going to be a bullet lodged in Yukino's head, Takeshi saw the sniper with his sixth sense (it's more of Angelica's sixth sense as a woman to know if men are staring at her), then he wished with all his might to catch the bullet and his Rain Flames activated, he fainted and his parents rushed him to the hospital as well as being alert for the sniper, and Hibari Kinzuke ended the sniper's life when he caught him loitering near his co-worker's son's window. The hospital staff turned a blind eye as if it was an everyday occurrence to them.
That is also the first time Takeshi met Hibari Kyoya who promptly called him fake herbivore.
Takeshi just laughed.
The training started, it is supposed to defend himself. They made him learn Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, and Kung Fu. Takeshi is excited because he mastered it all back in his previous life then he requested if he could take up the Arnis soon and his parents agreed.
Strangely enough, after training for months his parents said they will go to the dojo of the Hibaris. Takeshi has a feeling he'll spar with the skylark and he's right.
Even if Takeshi is younger by 2 years than Kyoya, Kyoya is vicious in his attacks on his younger counterpart but Takeshi wouldn't back down on a challenge and soon he's grinning as the excitement of the fight got to him.
After the fight where Kyoya wins, Takeshi just complained that he'll beat him next time which Kyoya chuckled at. Takeshi is puzzled, how can Hibari Kyoya be this expressive then he remembered that he's just a kid.
Their parents congratulated them on after the fight. Takeshi is amused that Kyoya also has two dads, and Alpha and a Beta which is pretty odd.
Eh~ he shouldn't judge. So he's happy for them.
Soon, Takeshi is being carried by Tsuyoshi to their car and Takeshi lazily waves 'I'll beat you soon.' to the young Hibari who just smiled smugly at him.
At four years old, Takeshi always hits his target with startling accuracy. Whether it was his arnis, his bamboo sword, or his guns. He favors the Glocks and the Berettas. He knows that his parents are impressed but worried about him.
Yes, he's still their darling boy but he excel in his 'sports' instead of his school. He's just average in it.
To appease them, he took up swimming lessons in the summer and baseball lessons during school. He excelled at both and many called him a prodigy. His parents breathed a sigh of relief that they're child can be normal even if he's grades are average.
Takeshi helps in the kitchen, he helps in the household chores, he's not fussy when it's his nap time every afternoon and he really does naps, he can pronounce words clearly, he can walk the dog to the park, and he can go to school alone without the help of either his teachers or classmates.
Tsuyoshi and Yukino felt that their child is too independent.
And their fears where confirmed when Takeshi managed to coat both of his arnis sticks with Rain Flames when sparring against Hibari Kyoya as well as maintaining it for three minutes before promptly fainting after Hibari got him in a head lock.
As Takeshi sleeps soundly, the young Hibari is pestering them about the flames and how he wants it too. Honestly, the parents have no idea what happened.
The 'mothers' resumed Kyoya's training as the fathers talk just next door to a sleeping Takeshi who's slowly awakening.
.
"I'm surprised a child like him can control his flames so well."
"I am too but I'm afraid for him. For his future."
"Aren't all parents like that?"
"Yes but I'm afraid he won't be my boy any longer."
"Namimori is safe, I'm the mayor and I won't let any yakuza in."
"I know and I owe you my new life along with Yukino. Thank you Kinzuke."
"When something happens to Kiryu and I, remember your oath."
"I will."
"What will you do? We can't seal his flames or else he'll change."
"Make him learn to control it, though it's too early!"
.
"PAPA!" Takeshi shouted just after him eavesdropping the conversation. He heard footsteps and he reach out his arms to be held by his father which Tsuyoshi promptly granted.
"I lost and I'm hungry." Takeshi complained while burying his head on his father's neck. Tsuyoshi laughed while patting his back.
"You'll beat him soon." Tsuyoshi consoled while Kinzuke snorted.
Takeshi smiled and mumbled, "I will soon."
Soon, Takeshi and Tsunayoshi met at Namimori Park near the swings when Takeshi is walking Pretty. Pretty is a small gray shih tzu.
Takeshi is impressed by how Tsuna can get along well with kids and being popular with them as well as seeing he's not a klutz. Seeing as how easily Tsuna scaled the monkey bars and ran around without tripping. He'd never been Dame-Tsuna until that fateful day.
.
"What will you do? We can't seal his flames or else he'll change."
A cold shiver ran through Takeshi, Hibari Kinzuke was right. The theory about Tsuna's Sky Flame being Sealed and all its effects are right.
A plan formed in Takeshi's mind.
Operation: Prevent Sealing of Tsuna's Sky Flames.
.
He approached Tsuna with Pretty in his arms.
"Hi! Can you teach us how to swing? I'm Yamamoto Takeshi, nice to meet you." Takeshi smiled at Tsuna which made the brunette pause his swinging then Tsuna also smiled at him.
His heart thudded in his chest, Tsuna is just so cute!
Wait, he already has a crush on Tsuna?! Oh no.
"I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, nice to meet you too Yamamoto."
Takeshi blushed and he shyly held Pretty gently towards Tsuna. "Her name is Pretty."
"Really? That's a fitting name for her."
Takeshi brightened, "It is! Can you teach us how to swing?"
"Sure thing!"
And they played well all afternoon until Nana told them to go home. Nana even offered to walk Takeshi back home and he agreed.
From then on, it was a start of a beautiful friendship between the Yamamoto and Sawada family.
