New Life

The mansion was quiet as the maids did their usual work. The chiefs were making breakfast but were rather excited. If anyone were to have taken a closer look at what they were cooking, they would have seen pancakes with eggs as eyes and a few small bacon strips for the smile. Apparently, the workers had caught wind of there being a child in the mansion and would be living there with them. How delighted they had become, knowing that there was a child among them. If Primo would allow it, the maids would at least play with this new child. No one knew what the child looked like, they only knew that it was a boy, was only five years old, and oddly had a striking resemblance to Primo himself.

The news definitely spread like wild fire in the mansion since the maids were working completely faster, the butlers were getting the dinning table ready, and the cooks were humming away preparing the food. As for the Guardians, they all raised eyebrows at how they had been receiving excited greetings and rushed bows. G put his hands in his pockets as he walked towards Giotto's office. Surprisingly, he was also awake, signing the papers carefully but hastily. "Is there a special occasion that you're up so early, Primo?" G smirked slightly as he continue to watch him sign more papers. More than half the stack was gone, in honesty, G never thought he would actually finish it.

"Not really, I just wish to finish this before waking up Tsuna. Perhaps I will be able to spend time with him so he'll know that he is completely welcomed here." Giotto answered, not even looking up from the paper work. He hadn't realized it but his pace was getting faster each second. G let out a low whistle as he watched the stack get smaller right before his eyes. Maybe taking in the kid wasn't a bad idea now. It made Giotto do his work, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Another few seconds pass, Giotto stands up and stretches. His work was all done for the day and would -hopefully- stay that way. Both of them made their way down the hall in silence. Giotto wanted Tsuna to stay in his room but his Guardians persuaded him that Tsuna needed his own room no matter how young he was. Giotto won in someway, he managed to get Tsuna's room near his office and bedroom just in case he wanted to check up on him. When they knocked on the door, they were expecting Tsuna to reply but when they were rewarded with silence, they opened the door and walk in. Softly closing the door behind them, they walked up to the bed in the far right hand corner. There in the middle, laid a small bundle, wrapped like a cocoon, Tsuna. His face was the only thing visible, which made his cheeks look more chubby and slight drool coming from the corner of his mouth. G laughed loudly to the point that he was holding his stomach. Giotto smiled and let out a chuckle as well but not as loudly as G. They were surprised that Tsuna didn't even wake up to their laughter, even though they were right there.

Giotto gently shook him, trying to get him up. Tsuna opened his eyes for a second but was closed immediately since the grogginess still had a grip on him. He tried once again and was rewarded with tired brown eyes. When Tsuna sat up, the top part of the blanket cocoon came undone, making his hair pop out. He rubbed his eye cutely, covering his mouth with his free hand as he yawned. "G-Good morning, Giotto, G-San." Tsuna looked up at them giving them a shy smile.

"Good morning to you too, Tsuna." Giotto returned with his own smile as G just nodded to him. "It's time to get up. The maids were kind enough to get some clothes ready for you. How about you take a nice bath? It'll wake you up." He said as he helped him off of his bed.

Tsuna nodded and looked down at his clothes. His eyes widen in horror, "W-Where's the shirt I was wearing earlier?" Tsuna asked in concern. Giotto raised a brow in confusion, why would the boy be worried about that shirt? Not wanting to make Tsuna wait any longer, he merely pointed to it as it hung innocently from a chair. Tsuna let out a sigh in relief but ran -that looked more like wobbling- over to the shirt. When he opened the pocket he practically put his whole arm in there just to pull objects out. Tsuna's face lightened up and smiled brightly at the objects in his hand. He had carefully placed the ring inside one of the mittens, just in case.

Giotto and G exchanged looks when they noticed Tsuna smiling at them. They both nodded, thinking that it was a memento from his family. That would explain why he was worried about the shirt. If the maids had gotten rid of it, then they would have accidentally gotten rid of something he treasures. Tsuna carefully got off the chair, still holding onto them and walked up to Giotto. "Are you ready for that bath now?" Giotto asked as he watched Tsuna nod to him, still wearing that smile of his. "Alright then. Let's get going, shall we?" He said taking Tsuna's hand, walking to the near by door. G shook his head and dismissed himself. Saying that he was going to eat food and make sure the others weren't causing problems.

Before going inside, Tsuna placed his gloves on an end table and walked back to the open door near Giotto. When he walked in side, he heard the click from the door behind him close. Turning his head slightly, he saw Giotto there, smiling from ear to ear. 'W-Wait a minute! I thought I was going to take a bath alone! What is Primo-San doing? What is he thinking?' Tsuna yelled in his mind. While he was mentally panicking, Giotto turned the water on, getting it to the right tempter. 'Reborn is going to kill me for making Primo-San do this! I should show my respect to him not make him give me a bath! This is all wrong!' Tsuna was far into his mental crying that he didn't even noticed Giotto taking off his shirt. Tsuna silently groaned as he imagined Reborn coming up with more unexplainable torture when he returns. When Giotto turned his attention to Tsuna, he noticed his face was a bit scrunched up as if thinking about something horrible and unpleasant. Unknown to him, he was.

Tsuna's mind didn't even register what had just happened. He was standing on the cold floor a second ago and now he was dangling in the air. He didn't even noticed that he was completely naked until Giotto and Tsuna stepped into the bath. "HIIEEE!" Tsuna wailed a bit in the water, accidentally splashing Giotto in the face. Tsuna stopped immediately and looked at Giotto as if he had just destroyed the world. "I-I'm sorry Giotto! I d-didn't mean to do that! It was an acc-" SPLASH. Tsuna was hit in the face with water. He blinked rather confused but his mind reeled in, realizing that Giotto had just splash him back. Even though his mind was of a 25 year old, Tsuna's actions were based off his 5 year old self. So he couldn't resist any longer. While they took a bath together, they had a mini-splash war. Water was all over the floor as they continued to play in the water, even though the voices in the back of both their heads told them not to do it, they just ignored it and continued on.

After coming out, they realized how much water was on the floor. Hopefully, the maids wouldn't get mad about it. Especially not at Tsuna, since he was only a 'child'. But, of course, Giotto would apologize to them about it. While Tsuna was drying himself off, Giotto was already changing into his spare clothes. When he looked over to see the clothes the maids had left out for Tsuna, he almost choked on air. Apparently, they left matching clothes for the little one. That's right. There was a smaller version of his pinstriped suit right in front of him. They probably thought it would be funny. Giotto had an odd feeling about this but shook it off as he walked towards the dresser nearby. While Giotto was keeping himself busy with picking a different outfit for Tsuna, said Tsuna was already changing into the clothes placed there for him. When Tsuna was in his original time, he had already got used to changing into such clothes such as these. He even had the same suit like the one he was putting on…well, in a different size.

Not finding a good outfit for Tsuna, Giotto turned around, expecting to see him still with the towel wrapped around him but was surprised at what he saw. Tsuna was already done changing into the suit, putting the small mittens in his pockets. There was a small shine around Tsuna's neck, something was sticking out but before he could get a closer look, Tsuna put it under his shirt completely. After fixing himself up, Tsuna looked up at Giotto. "Giotto? Is something wrong?" he asked slightly tilting his head.

Giotto blinked and shook his head. "Not at all. Come along, Tsuna. Breakfast should be done." He said with a small smile. Walking out of the room and down the hall, Tsuna stayed next to Giotto. Although, he had to jog a bit to keep up with him since he had small legs. 'Tsuna looks exactly like me when I was his age. He could pass as my own son! What will the other Families think of this? If word goes out that there is a child among us, then they'll surely try something hostile.' While in thought, he took a glance over to Tsuna, there was something different about him that moment. Those innocent huge eyes became cold and distant, just like how his eyes would become when he was in deep thought. They were calculating something, with a slight shine to it, as if he was trying to find the missing pieces to a puzzle. 'No matter, he is still a child. Having this…side to him must have been the result from when his family passed away.' Giotto looked away before Tsuna had realized that he had been staring at him. Determination filled his eyes, 'Now that Tsuna is living with us. I'll make sure that he'll remain safe.' Giotto had made a personal vow to protect him.

Tsuna on the other hand, was thinking of what could happen during his stay. He'll have to make sure he doesn't get in the way of their work. And if worse comes to shove, then he'll fight along side with them. Just because he's stuck in this body, doesn't mean he lost his ability to fight. Sure, he lost a bit of his strength but that could be easily improvised with the techniques he had made up during his training. No one's seen them, not even Reborn himself. The new techniques fall under both defense and offense. But still, he shouldn't push his luck while in this form or time. Hopefully, nothing will go out of hand to lead him to show who he really is.

Unknown to the blond and brunette, an infant was watching them, accompanied with a man with bandages. The infant stood on the mans' shoulder, his clear pacifier slightly glowed. "That's him.." was all the infant said before they vanished into thin air.


Hey guys~ I'm glad you all like it so far. And I'll apologize right now, but I'm pretty sure that everything will be all over the place. OTL

I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

AND YES. TSUNA WAS ORIGINALLY A 25 YEAR OLD IN HIS TIME LINE.
