Chapter 1~ Back home...

Yawn. "Why are we on a plane so early in the morning today Dad?" A spiky blonde haired teen about sixteen years of age, tall with a masculine build and light tan asked his father stretching his arms as he did so. Behind him a taller slim looking man dressed in a black suit with an orange shirt underneath wearing a fedora sighed whacking the teen on the head.

"Weren't you listening earlier Baka-Letsu. We're going back to your home town to see if you can figure out why the ring rejected you." The man with the fedora stressed the 'you' part as if it were his fault that he was rejected.

Letsu pouted and lightly glared at the man who returned his glare with a smirk that promised pain. Letsu shivered and glanced at his father who wore a suit and grinned.

"Now, now, Reborn. It's not Letsuyu's fault that he was rejected. Afterall even his guardians were rejected as well!" The reminder of why he was going home and how he failed the inheritance sent Letsu spiraling down depression he pouted and looked outside the window muttering how it wasn't his fault and that he didn't understand what Primo meant. Reborn and his father watched shaking their heads.

The plane ride went on without much talk after that.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

"Gomen...asai...menai. Onegai...

...live..."

"NO!"

"...Aishteru..."

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

Swoosh! A young brunette flipped the bed covers over breathing hard and chest heaving. His single eye wide with terror and despair. Sweat dripped down his chin. He breathed softly to himself in hopes of calming his beating heart.

Once he was sure that he wouldn't do something reckless he laid back on his bed staring at the empty white ceiling. His hand formed into a fist and he bit his lip.

"-I promise."

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

It was midday, lunch time, by the time Letsuyu and his father arrived home to Namimori and already Letsuyu wanted to go home and sleep. However since it's been ten, nearly eleven, years since he's been home his dad said to explore to see if anything's changed, and him not being one to disappoint his dad agreed to. However what he didn't want to do was go around Namimori with his Spartan of a tutor showing him around town. Letsuyu sighed. Reborn tilted his fedora upwards a small devious smirk on his lips.

"Baka-Letsu don't forget I'm a mind reader." Letsuyu shivered and looked at Reborn warily.

"Yeah right. Mind readers don't exist." Letsuyu narrowly dodged the bullet aimed at him he looked back at his tutor who held a green gun in his hands. Letsuyu paled and held his hands up in surrender.

Reborn lightly glared at his student, "You're a thousand years too early to even start sassing me Baka-Letsu." The gun in his hand changed shapes revealing a green chameleon with yellow eyes that crawled up to sit on Reborn's shoulders.

Letsuyu sighed in resignation and glanced at Reborn, "So what do you want to go see first?"

Reborn smirked and shrugged his shoulders. Letsuyu sighed again. Sighing seems to be becoming habit of his now nowadays. Reborn then kicked him on his head, "Hurry up. I'm getting hungry."

Letsuyu bit back a retort knowing it would only lead to pain. He moved his feet and walked, Reborn followed him.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Light tanned skin, tall and masculine with faint scars on his torso and dark raven spiked hair. A warm brown eye on the right and a clear turquoise gray blue eye on his left. The teen looked to be sixteen. He wore dark blue shorts with sandals and held a black sports top in his hands. On his lips was a cheery smile full of excitement.

He rushed down the stairs of his home and passed by an older man who looked like him making sushi. The man turned around to look at his son, "Another student council meeting?"

The young man shook his head, "Hahaha, nope. Not this time dad. Rix wanted to go to the new cake shop that just opened and we agreed to have a fun day. Lambo and her seemed really excited to go."

The man's father laughed, "Well then," he moved to ruffle his son's hair, "I hope you and the rest have fun Takeshi." Takeshi laughed and walked out waving goodbye to his father.

"Thanks! I'll be back soon hopefully. See ya dad!"

On his way out Takeshi passed by a boy around his age with blonde hair and an older man dressed in a black suit. His eyes narrowed when they passed. His mismatched eyes clashed with obsidion colored ones.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

It was just a few minutes after eating at Takēsushi that Letsuyu and Reborn left. It was around twelve forty five and Letsuyu couldn't help but think how wonderful today was.

A beautiful sunny day with light feathery clouds in the sky. The perfect day to be out. He smiled faintly. His amber colored eyes looked up at the sky until he spotted his house. Without knowing it he had begun walking down certain paths leading to his home.

And it was not so unusual. thad been such a long time since he had been home with his mother and his useless, but somewhat, adorable twin brother. So with a small bounce of excitement in his steps he began speeding towards his house Reborn following behind him quickly and gracefully.

Letsuyu ignored the stare sent directly at him from his Spartan tutor.

He walked up the steps hand reaching out to grab open the door when...

Creak.

The door opened on the other side revealing a tall male with spiky untameable bronze brown hair a slender and slim yet masculine build and a slightly narrowed yet wide innocent blue eye the other covered by a white bandage. The teen wore a light orange tee-shirt with a red band on each end of the sleeve and beige shorts with black and red shoes, a pair of headphones hanging around his neck.

Letsuyu gaped in surprise. While Reborn looked at the young teen with boredom.

But the other simply smiled with a mischief laced smile, "Okari, Letsu-niisan."

"Tsuna?!"

"Who else?" Tsuna giggled softly. His attention turned to Reborn and he frowned, "Who's this? A friend of yours Letsu-nii?"

Reborn snorted, "I'm his tutor." Tsuna raised his brow and smiled, "I see. Well I have to go meet up with Rix and the others soon. I'm already late as it is..." His voice fell lower in volume as he realized what it was he had just said.

"HHHHIIIEEE! They're so going to kill me for being late again! I've got to go, sorry I can't stay to chat more! Bye!"

Letsuyu only watched his twin leave unable to utter a single word in all that Tsuna had said. Reborn snorted to himself as he watched the slim male run. However he was somewhat curious as to what he saw in the younger's blue eye. Malice, anger, and worry. However what interested him was the worry in his eye. Why would he be worried?

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Tsuna rushed down the street eager to get away from his twin and Spartan tutor. He sighed to himself was he knew he was a safe distance away from the two. His blue eye sharpened.

"Well, that was unexpected..." He glanced at his watch, "I really should hurry before they actually do kill me for being late this time."

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

By the time Tsuna reached the decided meeting point he was out of breath and an hour late. Looking around he caught sight of blonde hair pale enough to be considered white. He grimaced a bit knowing what was coming.

"Tsunayoshi Sawada," the voice sent multiple of chills down his spine. He approach the blonde slowly.

"H-hai Rixa-chan?" He shook from her sharp calculating blue eye that looked exactly like his left one. She stepped forward, arms crossed over her perfectly sized bossom, and an angry frown on her rosy pink lips.

"Care to explain to all of us EXACTLY why you're late? Hmmm?"

Tsuna knew he wasn't getting out of this situation easily. He 'hie'd to himself quietly.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .

Letsuyu sighed. The day had finally come to an end after he had celebrated his return with his mother and brought up his belongings to his room. He was free to sleep as much as he wanted. He stretched his back and checked the clock; Seven: twenty seven. It was getting dark out and he realized that his twin had yet to come back. He yawned.

'Ah! I'm too tired to think about this! I'm just going to go to sleep.'

He changed out of his regular clothes and into his green silk pajamas. He yawned again and then there was a knock on his door. He opened it seeing that it was his mother. Nana Sawada: a pretty young woman with short brunette hair and carmel eyes. He smiled at his mother.

"Is something wrong okaasan?" She immediately gushed over how cute he was and polite before remembering why she came up to her son's room.

"Ah! That's right!" Letsuyu stared at his mother curiously, "Huh?"

"Your father might've forgotten to tell you but tomorrow your starting your sophomore year in high school at Namimori kōkō akademī! It's a very prestigious and popular school that many students who go there enjoy!"

Letsuyu sweatdropped. "Namimori kōkō akademī?" Nana nodded enthusiastically smiling.

'Geez! Just how much has changed since I left?! I don't remember us ever having a high school academy when I left!'

Nana went on, "Your brother is attending Namimori kōkō akademī as well!"

Now that caught his attention.

"He is?!"

Nana nodded," Yes!"

Letsuyu stared wide eye at his mother and sighed, "Wow." She patted his hair and giggled.

"Well goodnight Letsu-kun." She hugged tight. Letsuyu could feel her shaking when he hugged her back. When she pulled away she patted his cheek and sighed, "Welcome home Letsuyu." She kissed his forehead goodnight before leaving him to himself.

He jumped on his bed and relaxed. A faint smile on his lips, "I'm back..."

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

"Freedom, you do understand that this changes almost the entirety of the plan right?"

Sigh, "Yes I do understand that Painter, but in the end it works out in our favor and not much is changed other than the location."

Another sigh, "Painter, Freedom-sama is right. Namimori is our territory. We know it better than anyone. Here we have the advantage."

"I understand that Windstorm, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be cautious."

"Painter, I understand why you worry. That's your job afterall. To worry about us, but it's also your job to believe in us as well. We are strong, but we are not overconfident. We will be cautious about this and get those rings."

"...Okay."

Smile, "Good. Now," orange eyes stared out into the darkness, "Let's prepare the game board for our new players, ne?"

A soft giggle escaped their lips.
