Someone, save us!

Tsuna felt something went past to them. She opened her eyes and was surprised to see a guy wearing hooded clothes in black and silver color. He was standing between Tsuna and the monster.

"You are a lost soul." The hooded guy spoke in English accent, it made Tsuna wondered for a moment. The mysterious guy then moved his gloved left hand and much to Tsuna's shock, his left arm suddenly transformed into a monstrous silver claw with a cross at the back of that shockingly hand.

"Please, rest in peace." said the hooded guy again in unmistakably british voice.

Then, he grabbed the monster like some kind of a ball and clawed it, the claws digging into the body of that monster, crushing it slowly. Suddenly, another person came down from above and hugged Tsuna and the girl tightly, blocking the brunette's sight. It made Tsuna wondered again when she smelled a scent of lavender. But her thoughts were erased when she heard a loud explosion behind this person hugging them. She closed her eyes once more and tried to stay still on her position since the force from the explosion was getting to her. Tsuna heard a sigh after that.

"Phew… that was close." It was a girl's voice.

The brunette looked at the owner of that voice and saw a pretty girl with dark green hair that was pulled up into two pigtails. She has those pretty violet eyes and was wearing clothes same to that hooded guy, only that she was wearing a skirt and knee high black socks partnered with black shoes. So the scent of lavender came from this girl.

"Are you two alright?" the pigtailed girl asked suddenly which startled out of Tsuna's musings. Still confused at everything, she managed to answer with a nod.

The pigtailed girl then smiled in relief. "I'm glad."

If they were not in this kind of situation, Tsuna would probably blush in front of this pretty girl. The brunette suddenly felt someone shaking on her lower body so she looked down to check the little girl. She then patted the girl's head gently.

"Hey…" Tsuna called out. The little girl looked up to her with those big yellow teary eyes.

"Is – is that monster gone now?" she sobbed.

"Yes." They heard a guy's voice – that british accent, actually.

All heads looked at the owner of that voice. It was the guy before who destroyed the dark creature. He went closer to them, taking off his hood which revealed his snowy white hair and a pair of silver gray eyes. The most catchy about this young boy is the red tattoo on his face, a red inverted pentacle above his left eye with a line that went down across his cheek.

"Everything is alright now." He smiled at them, his accent lingering in Tsuna's ears. She was wondering why a british boy was here in Japan.

Tourist?

But look at his clothes; this boy doesn't give an impression of being a tourist, even his female companion. Tsuna's eyes the moved to the boy's strange left arm, that monstrous claw was still there. She remembered how he destroyed the creature of dark with that strange left arm so she tensed up and backed away a little with the girl. Seeing the brunette's reaction, the two mysterious teenagers made a we- forgot – look on their faces.

"Allen-kun, I think you should deactivate that." The pigtailed girl said to this Allen-kun which the boy nodded.

"Cease activation." he mumbled and by seconds his silver claw hand changed back to normal.

"Please, forgive me if it scared you." he apologized very politely which remind Tsuna of Basil. The politeness from this white haired boy is the same with her Shakespearean friend.

"I – It's okay…" Tsuna still replied even though she's getting more confused. She wanted to know where could be that monster came from and also these new faces before her. But what's important is they are saved and it's all thanks to these saviors. Tsuna gave a deep, relieved sigh while the unknown teenagers only stared quietly at the brunette and the girl. Suddenly, one golden ball with gold wings and tail came out under the clothes of the young british boy.

"Timcanppy." said he, acknowledging the presence of that odd creature.

"Is he really gone?" the little girl started speaking again. All of them turned to her.

"He – He will not be back again?" her voice was still shaking. Their hearts went out for the little girl.

"Yes, he won't." the pigtailed girl reassured.

"Worry no more because he will not hurt you again." added the white haired boy. The little girl then tackled him on a hug, crying once more.

"Thank you, big bro!"

All of them smiled, it will be hard for the girl to forget the horrible experience with that monster. They were hoping that it won't leave her a trauma. Tsuna sighed in relief again, thank god that was all over now. Then suddenly, her intuition told her someone's missing from her. Her hazel nut eyes scanned the surroundings and stopped when she saw her little lion lying unconscious on the ground.

Her eyes widened. "Nuts!" she exclaimed and ran toward her lion. Tsuna's shout called the attention of the other people; all eyes looked at the running brunette going towards the little lion. The strangers were wondering so they followed Tsuna. Tsuna on the other hand, pick up her lion and pet him gently.

"Nuts… Nuts…" she called his name very softly. Thankfully, the lion opened his orange eyes to his master.

"G – Gao…" the lion cub groaned, clearly worn out. Her heart went out for her pet.

"Are you alright, Nuts?" she asked him very worriedly.

"Gao.."

Tsuna was delighted and tears started forming on the corner of her eyes. She brought Nuts to her cheeks, rubbing his head gently.

"I'm sorry, Nuts…" she apologized and continued. "I couldn't do anything that time." her voice became shaky. Nuts then licked her cheeks making Tsuna looked at him. She could see in his eyes that he's alright and there's nothing to worry about.

Tsuna's lips fell into a sad smile. "I'm really sorry…"

She looked for her guitar case also and saw it meters away from her so she took it and hung it behind her back. Nuts leaped unto her shoulders and rest his self there.

"What happened, miss?" that british accent came suddenly behind her. The brunette turned around and found the strangers looking at her with concern. She gave a dismissive smile to them.

"Nothing really. I got worried for my lion." she said.

"That's a lion?" the pigtailed girl reeled in wonder, looking at Nuts on her shoulder.

"I thought it's a cat." said the English boy, having the same face as his friend. Tsuna only gave them a wry smile as she touched Nuts' chin.

This time, it's the little girl turn to ask. "Didn't that kitten helped us a while ago? Is the kitten alright now?" she looked up to Tsuna with her big yellow eyes.

The brunette nodded at her. "Yes, he is. He's just tired and all." she answered.

"That's great!"

"Are you sure you are alright, miss?" Tsuna heard the English boy asked her so she turned to him.

"Were you not hurt or something?" his voice filled with genuine concern.

"Yeah, I hope we were not that late." added the green haired girl.

Tsuna waved her hand dismissively. "I'm fine, thank you. And you were just in time to save us." she smiled in assurance.

"That's right!" the little girl suddenly exclaimed. All eyes turned to her, kind of surprise by her sudden outburst.

"Thank you for saving us from the monster big sis, big bro!" continued the little girl with a big smile on her cute face. It seemed her energy had come back and it's really a surprise to see her so bright. Looks like it's no problem for her to forget that terrifying experience with the monster. The young saviors smiled at each other, the white haired boy then patted the little girl's head.

"You are welcome, little one. And it's really our job to do that." he said.

Job?

Tsuna wondered at the word. The brunette looked back to their saviors; the designs on their clothes are the same it even looked like a uniform. But the one that caught her eyes was the crest on their left chest engraved on those clothes. It's kind of a strange cross in Tsuna's eyes.

"And thank you, big sis!" Tsuna was startled when the little girl hugged her again, she looked down to her. "You were the first one that saved me so thank you very much!" the little one gave Tsuna her cute smile.

The brunette looked a bit sad. "But I haven't done anything back there. (she glanced at the unknown saviors) It was them who really saved you." she said, inwardly disappointed to herself.

But the girl only shook her head. "You protected me all the way while that monster was chasing us!"

"I – I was scared myself…" she shyly admitted. It's true, her body was trembling in fear that time and it was all because she couldn't use her power. She felt very weak and scared that moment.

"But you never let go of me!" the little girl insisted and Tsuna stared at her now. "You promised that you'll never leave me so here I am, safe and sound!" she chirped happily. Tsuna resisted the urge to glomp the cute blonde girl. The two young saviors/strangers who were watching them smiled at each other.

"This girl is right." said the white haired boy while patting the little girl's head. "If it were not to you, it will be late for us also." he continued and the green haired nodded also, smiling.

Tsuna's face shaded pink as she scratched her cheek and smiled sheepishly. Ah, that flattered her too much.

"Big sis!" the little girl startled them again. "Your hand is bleeding!" she exclaimed, pointing out Tsuna's hand. Tsuna did looked at her hand was surprised to see a cut on the back of it, blood trickling down from the wound.

"E – Eh?" Tsuna wondered. "I hadn't notice."

"Yeah, it's bleeding." the amethyst eyed girl took Tsuna's wounded hand and checked upon it. "We have to tend it."

"B – But I think I'm okay!" the brunette blushed and pulled back her hand quickly. "It's only a scratch." she waved her hand but winced at the growing pain from the wound.

"Nay, you are not, see?" added the silver gray eyed boy thoughtfully. "That should be taken care of immediately or else you'll get infected."

"Then, let's go to my house!" the little girl beamed, she pulled Tsuna's skirt, urging the brunette to go with her."My grandma is the resident doctor of our town! She can take care of you." continued the girl.

"B – But…" Tsuna was reluctant.

"Let's go to her grandma's house, she'll help you with her wounds." The green haired girl said after tapping her shoulder.

Tsuna sighed in defeat. "Okay…"

DGM – KHR

Tsuna have learned the names of the new faces accompanying her to the town that the little girl lives in. The cute, bubbly girl is Sheena Cali; she even told them her age is ten. Their saviors are Allen Walker and Lenalee Lee which no doubt foreigners and Tsuna guessed their ages were about the same as her. What wondered her most was the little golden bird that was on the albino's shoulder. The weird bird is called Timcanppy and is a golem. But to the brunette, it doesn't look like a golem, as to her own illustration of it.

Oh, well. Doesn't matter anyway, she have seen a lot of weird animals and her Nuts' one of them. But Tsuna's thoughts were halted when another strike of pain went through her wounded hand. She winced and tried to move her fingers. Her hand was temporarily covered with a handkerchief thanks to the asian girl.

"And what's your name, big sis? And that kitten also." asked Sheena to Tsuna. Both Allen and Lenalee looked at her expectantly. That tensed up Tsuna for some reason then she hastily answered.

"I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi and this little lion is Nuts. It's nice to meet you" she bowed to them politely. When she lifted up her head, she saw their wondering expression. Sheena, who's looking up to her burst out in laughter.

"Your name sound funny!" the little girl exclaimed, still laughing. Tsuna felt someone threw a rock on her head out of nowhere, hitting her really hard. The brunette sulked on the side of the road, making a circular motion on the ground with her forefinger.

"You don't have to say it aloud." Tsuna sighed in defeat, gloomy clouds looming over her just to add some effect. Allen and Lenalee sweat dropped at the brunette's reaction then chuckled.

"So you're a Japanese. Your name sound masculine but it suits you very well." said Lenalee to her, just to make her feel better or anything.

Tsuna pouted now. "That's my parents' reason also."

They chuckled quietly at that.

All of them were already halfway to the little girl's town but they didn't know how long it will take them to reach the said town. And Sheena's ahead of them, playing with Nuts and Timcanppy, whom were snatched from their owners. They were still walking and Tsuna decided she couldn't contain her curiosity anymore. She stared on their back first before calling out the saviors.

"Ano..." Tsuna started shyly. Two head turned to her now.

"May I ask something? If you don't mind…" the brunette inquired politely.

Lenalee nodded. "No, we don't. What is it, then?" acknowledge the green haired girl.

"I just wanted to ask what is the creature that attacked us while ago?"

Allen and Lenalee stopped walking as well as Tsuna. The nature around them breathed out fresh air and caressed the trio very friendly. The chirping birds can be heard here and there while Sheena's own energetic voice rang out as she played with the weird animals. Despite the nice view that surrounds them, Tsuna can clearly feel the sudden change of atmosphere from Lenalee and Allen. Their aura changed when she asked that question and it wondered her greatly. Their faces went to grim then to looking grave making Tsuna nervous somehow. Lenalee and Allen exchanged glance before looking at the brunette.

"That creature a while ago—" Lenalee started.

"—is an akuma." and Allen finished.

Silence.

Tsuna's eyes went wide and stared at them incredulously, as if their heads have grown another head and those heads gave birth to another heads.

"A - A- Akuma…?" the brunette finally spoke, stuttering out the word. Allen and Lenalee nodded their heads seriously. Another seconds and…

"Impossible!" Tsuna exclaimed, startling the two young saviors.

"Akuma?! I know that creature was a monster but akuma?! It doesn't even look like one to me!" she continued exclaiming, not really believing what these saviors had called the monster. It's very unbelievable, no one would believe on it in this time.

"W – Well…" Allen trailed off, didn't know how he should explain it to her.

And Tsuna isn't finished yet. "Akuma should really look like a demon (it is) with horns on head and pointed tail at the bottom. And has bat wings with red or black body. They have this scary face and fangs that eat human alive, isn't it?!" she even gave her own description of demon while wailing her hands in the air, looking funny and stupid. If Allen and Lenalee didn't know more, they would have already laughed at Tsuna's antics. Well, that was foreseen.

"Your illustration came from the fiction novels." Lenalee remarked. They were already used to see that kind of reaction from anyone whenever they told them what is that horrible creature.

"But!"

"That creature is really an akuma." Allen said seriously and firmly, cutting off Tsuna's protests to argue with them. "That is the truth." the british boy added grimly, his left gloved hand clenching into fist.

Tsuna stared at them in silence; all of her ridiculous imaginations of a supposed real akuma were all forgotten in an instant. Both Lenalee and Allen looked serious and sad also, their eyes lost to something painful. The brunette didn't know why, but she can see a melancholic emotions swirling within those eyes. That emotion is strange but heavy also for them to carry it.

Akuma.

Her encounter with that monster was the first time, it was the first time she met the dark creature. Tsuna have seen many strange and weird creatures, but this creature called akuma is the most strange and horrible thing she had ever seen. Never had she thought that kind of dark creature existed in this world.

"Heeey!" Sheena's voice echoed in their ears, breaking the long silence between them. All eyes looked at the little girl, who was waving her hand.

"Hurry up! We're here!" she shouted, waiting for them.

Tsuna looked behind Sheen and saw that familiar place. Her eyes widened, how could she forget? That town behind Sheena was the very first place she saw after being transported here (faraway from Namimori) via mysterious door.

"Let's go." said Lenalee, earning the attention of Allen and Tsuna . "We should go now to Sheena's house so that her grandma can attend to your wound." She looked at Tsuna, who nodded her head. And off they walked to that town.
