A Sweet Beginning

Chapter 1 - "Such a Sweet Savior"

A day for swimming to Sawada Tsuna is a day of teasing and name calling. It is the day he hates the most. He again woke up late and was bitten again by his tutor, Reborn. He's also hungry because he didn't eat breakfast.

On his way to school he came across his two friends, Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato. Yamamoto Takeshi is a talented baseball player, a happy go lucky guy, and the kind of person who smiles and laugh for nonsense things. Gokudera Hayato is a very bad tempered guy, and Vongola Decimo's self-proclaimed right-hand man. He just follows the orders of his boss and no-one else.

Tsuna made his way toward his two friends, "Ohayou Yamamoto-kun, Gokuder..." He was cut off by Hayato's sparkling smile, "Ohayou gozaimasu Juudaime," beside him Yamamoto said, "What a great morning Tsuna!" with a 10,000 watts smile.

Tsuna smiles at them and replied," Yes it is Yamamoto-kun. Let's come to school together." The two guys just nodded and started walking just like Tsuna.

Hibird sat on his master's hair, singing the Namimori Middle School song while Hibari Kyoya rested on the rooftop of his beloved school. "Ciaossu Hibari," Reborn jumped next to him.

"What is it Akambo (baby)?" Hibari glanced at the baby.

"There are some students who break the school rules," he smirked at Hibari who just frowned and walked away. Well, actually he jumped from the rooftop and landed safely below.

Tsuna, Yamamoto and Hayato entered the school's grounds. "Being late, you're breaking the rules. I'll bite each of you to death, especially you, Sawada Tsunayoshi," Hibari stated as he stared at Tsuna coldly, making him shake and tremble nervously.

"You bastard, don't talk to Juudaime like that," Hayato moved to lovingly protect his boss.

"Are you ordering me, herbivore?" Hibari lifted his tonfas and readied to fight.

"Maa maa. Everyone should calm down." Yamamato put his hands on the shoulder of Hibari as well as Hayato.

"You bastard, don't tell me what to do," Hayato shouted at Yamamoto, who just sweat-drops but still smiles.

"Don't touch me casually," Hibari snapped out.

After that Hibari and Hayato just stared at each other, waiting for an incoming attack. After a moment of silence, Kusakabe came in and talked to Hibari about an important meeting.

"I'm not yet done talking to you, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Hibari walked away from the group and left Tsuna speechless.

"Juudaime, just ignore him. We'll be having our swimming class today," Hayato said and they started their way to their class.

During the swimming class, Tsuna never touched the water. Not because he didn't want to. It was because he couldn't swim, he didn't want to drown and die yet.

He was envious of everyone. They were swimming freely and seemed to be having fun, even Yamamoto and Hayato. Tsuna just watched them silently, but some of his classmates lifted him up and threw Tsuna in the water, making the water splash. Uwahhh! I'm going to fa…

"Juudaime," Hayato rushed out to save his beloved boss. "Tatsukete (help me)," Tsuna blubbed before continuing, "I can't..." He bobbled under and gasping for air, choked, "swim..." Tsuna yelped for help. He was saved by Hayato immediately.

"Are you okay, J-Juudaime?" Hayato asked with concern. "Who the hell is the person who threw Juudaime into the water?" he yelled as he turned his head around to make sure that the person behind this incident would be guilty enough to apologize.

"I'm f-fine, I..." Tsuna paused to cough. "Guess", Tsuna replied as he coughed out some water.

"It's Dame-Tsuna's fault. He would never drown if he could swim, or rather say if he could learn to swim," a guy from his class butted in and smirked.

"What did you say? Don't underestimate Juudaime. He's an amazing person," Hayato was ready to save Tsuna at all times.

"I am just speaking the truth," the same guy answered, making Hayato snap up and ready to punch him.

He was stopped by Yamamoto. "Gokudera you should relax more," he calmed Hayato and dragged him away from the crowd, leaving Tsuna with all the teasing.

"Okay everyone, we will just continue tomorrow, except Sawada Tsunayoshi." Everyone started leaving and gathering their things except for Tsuna. "I think he's going to be punished by sensei (teacher)", they whispered to each other as they talked about Tsuna behind his back.

"You're going to clean the pool. Hurry up and do it," sensei ordered before walking away.

A certain skylark watched the whole scene, especially when the herbivore was lifted by his classmates and was thrown into the water. He frowned whenever some people made fun out of his herbivore. He hated the people who made fun of him...

His herbivore...

His Sawada Tsunayoshi...

Why did he think that Sawada Tsunayoshi is his?

He is not an herbivore to think like that. He is not weak to have feelings for a certain weak and clumsy herbivore. Hibari was spacing and he never realized that something was happening until Hibird chirped while landing on his silky black hair.

Tsuna was cleaning the pool and thinking about a guy named Hibari Kyoya. When will I be able to see him again? Well... I just saw him a while ago, but I feel so... strange when I don't see him. He blushed as he continued to clean up, but he didn't watch his step and fell down into the water.

"Help me!" he gasped. I'm going to drown. I'm going to die. Tsuna just closed his eyes and let himself sink, but a warm hand caught his hand as a warm body touched his. It feels familiar. I can't see clearly. He thought just before he became unconscious.

Hibari Kyoya tried his best to give Tsuna CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, with its rescue breathing and chest compressions. Yes you read it right; it is mouth to mouth resuscitation.

Tsuna opened his eyes slowly. He was in the same warm embrace as before he passed out. This time he saw the face of his savior, Hibari Kyoya.

"What a weak herbivore," Hibari said while still holding Tsuna in a warm, loving hug.

"Hibari-san...y-you s-saved me!" Tsuna blurted out.

"Yes, not because I want to. It is only because I don't want a dead body lying here in my territory."

Tsuna felt the warmth of Hibari's body. Hibari-san saved me. He saved me. Thinking about it makes me... happy! He blushed as he closed his tired eyes. The next time he woke up he was in his room. He never thought that Hibari have used CPR to save him.

"I should thank Hibari-san for saving me," he said happily as he walked out of his room with a smirking Reborn near the window.

-what a great job you did Hibari-
