Tsuna's eyes fluttered open, and he looked around the room in confusion. 'Where am I now?' He looked around the room that he happened to be in. The room had walls striped with different shades of orange and white. It was a simple, plain room with a bed, closet, and a bookshelf. It reminded him of a cheap Japanese business hotel.

He muttered, "Itette… Karada jyuu ga itai… (Ow… my entire body hurts...)" He rubbed his lower back, trying to remember how he hurt it.

He flushed as he remembered the events that occurred before he decided being unconscious was better; Tsuna would never admit that he fainted. 'It was the foreigner's fault. He's the reason why my body hurts so much.'

A man in Chinese clothing entered the room. "Omezame desuka? (Did you wake up?) Would you like some Jasmine Tea for breakfast, or do you prefer coffee?" He asked, trying to present himself as someone who would not harm Tsuna.

Tsuna, softly, asked, "Anata wa dare? (Who are you?)" His eyes were wider than normal as he stared at the invader.

"My name is Fon. And I'm one of Reborn's acquaintances," the intruder, Fon, replied. His voice was soft, melodic, almost as if he was trying to avoid scaring Tsuna.

'He's friends with that man with the weird curly side bangs?! I need to get out of here before he does something weird to me!' Tsuna thought, panicking. He was considering bolting out of there, but then he noticed that Fon hadn't done anything, and was now preparing tea.

"May I have some tea, please?" Tsuna asked, craving something to drink.

"Sure thing my child. Give me one sec," Fon replied.

Fon turned around to pour Tsuna a cup of tea. Tsuna took that opportunity to run towards the door, but he managed to trip (he still blamed the rock for that, even if it was only him that could see it.)

Softly groaning, Tsuna sat up rubbing his elbow that absorbed most of the impact. "Ouch.. Why am I so clumsy?" He muttered, inwardly glaring at himself; he lost a golden moment to escape this place.

"Are you alright?" Fon asked as he walked towards the brunette. He wrapped his arms around Tsuna, holding him close.

"No! Get your hands off of me!" This stranger was too close; he didn't want to have a repeat of the events that occurred right before he fainted.

He tried to wriggle out of his grasp a few times, but eventually tired. His body hadn't recovered from what happened not too long ago. Tsuna also had a feeling that he wouldn't have been able to escape had he been in a decent condition.

While Fon looked weak enough to break free from, Tsuna could feel that the man was much stronger than he appeared.

"I just want to go home… Please let me go.. I beg you…" Tsuna said, nearly sobbing as he thought of his poor mother who was probably worried out of her mind because of his sudden disappearance.

"I'm sorry my dear, but I'm afraid that you can't go back to Japan."

It suddenly hit him that he was forced to stay here, that he would have to serve the man that had touched him inappropriately. It wasn't a life that he wanted, and Tsuna was desperate for a way out.

"Did I really get sold as a sex slave?" He managed to get out between his crying.

"Well, kinda…. It's true that you were sold, but you're not exactly going to be a sex slave. But you do need to do some stuff… Now now don't cry, a cute little boy like you shouldn't cry; here, have some jasmine tea. It'll relax you a bit." Picking up the brunette, bridal style, he carried the boy to the bed and laid him down.

"Thank you. Are you sure you're Reborn's friend? You're the exact opposite from him." Through his sadness and tears, he offered Fon a genuine smile.

He laughed almost sheepishly, and said, "Yes I guess we can describe our relationship as friends. So, let's start off again. Hello, my name is Fon."

"Hello, my name is Tsunayoshi Sawada. You may call me Tsuna for short." Tsuna replied, trying to stick to the formalities he learned from his mother.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Tsunayoshi, and welcome to our mansion. I'm sure you have many questions, so feel free to ask anything! I may not be able to answer all the questions, but I'll tell you as much as I can."

"Um… where is this mansion located on the map? Also why did you guys buy me? How can I go back to Tokyo? Aa-and…." There were so many things Tsuna wanted to ask, and there were so many thoughts racing through his head, but his brain couldn't comprehend it all.

"Shush little one. I know you have tons of questions you want to ask me, but you can calm down. I won't go anywhere." Fon replied, quieting Tsuna. He sat on the edge of the bed, close enough that he was encroaching Tsuna's personal space but far enough that he didn't make the brunette too uncomfortable.

Fon took a deep breath, then started to answer all of Tsuna's questions. "I can't tell you where exactly we are, but we are on an island that is not listed on the world map. We are actually a porn industry, so Reborn bought you so you can be one of our staff members. And I'm afraid you cannot leave this mansion. Not until you trust us, and we trust you won't escape. Also, even if you wanted to, you have to pay one billion dollars since we're providing you with your everyday supplies during your stay. Don't worry; this place is not as bad as you think it is."

"W-wait a second." Tsuna cried out. Before he could continue, Fon started to talk.

"I know it's impossible to ask you to trust Reborn after what he did to you, but please trust us. Yes, you'll have to do some stuff to keep our company running, but there's other children who are in the sames shoes as you. There's also all sorts of entertainment in this mansion that will keep you busy. There will be classes too in the morning, and much more! Oh, before I forget, here's my welcome present for you." He handed Tsuna a white box with an orange ribbon; Tsuna was certain that it came from his sleeve, though he wasn't sure how it fit in there. "Go ahead and open it."

Carefully untying the ribbon, Tsuna noticed that it was very soft; he would like to keep it, but he had a feeling that it would become lost later. Putting it to the side, he slowly removed the wrapping paper, trying to preserve the paper. After he managed to do that, he removed the lid of the box.

"Wow, it's beautiful." It was old-fashion, based on the style. It was ornate in appearance, and Tsuna had to admire the craftsmanship. The jewel wasn't too large for the ring, and it reflected the light without being too dazzling. "Can I wear this?"

"Go right ahead; it's yours anyway."

He decided to put it on his middle finger, on his right hand. "Thank you Fon-san."

"Anything for you my dear. Now come on, I'll give you a tour around the mansion. I'm sure you'll love it." Tsuna could feel a chill going up his spine for some reason, but he ignored the feeling.

Fon offered his hand, and Tsuna took it. Leading them both into the hallway, Fon coaxed Tsuna out of his room.

AN: Ayumi's uploading again. Alright... first, we still don't own KHR (/is now going to stop putting that until the day one of us do.) Two, we are busy so while we like getting "please update soon," it doesn't make it happen sooner. (I prefer con crit, but reviews are reviews.) Just thought I'd throw it out there in case someone thought they could get us to update sooner by doing that. Three, I must reiterate WE ARE BUSY. We do have lives outside of this and school; yes, I'm shocked as most people are.

Hey guy's this is Piyomi speaking. Thank you again for taking your time to read our collaboration story! Like Ayumi mentioned earlier, we do have lives. FFnet authors tend to have a reputation that we don't have lives, but since we need to get education in order to get money, we are busy 24/7. If you can kindly give us some encouragement by reviewing the chapter, or just adding your own thoughts about what we should do, that will brighten our day.

Also would like to add that we may accept requests for Tsuna pairings. May is the key word (and whether it appears soon or not depends on my, Ayumi's, mood.)

Also if anybody wants to submit their own art that we can use for the cover of this story, that'll be great! We may even write a story for the person who submits the best artwork~ so good luck
