The next day,
BAM!
Tsuna was woken up roughly.
"Oi, brat! Wake up! If you want to get stronger or smarter, don't sleep too long, damn it! Why did I need to train a wimp mafia boss like you?!" an unfamiliar rough voice spoke/shout. 'Huh? That voice isn't Reborn's. Who was it?' Tsuna thought while sat upon his bed and rubbed his sore head. In front of him, a tall man, with grey spiky hair, grey eyes, wearing suit with grey inner shirt, his hands on his hips, stood in front of him while glaring. Tsuna flinched.
Tsuna: W-W-Who a-a-are y-you?
?: *sighed* Seriously, you didn't know?
Tsuna: N-no.
?: I guess he didn't tell you my name yet. Alright, I'm Rico. I'll be your temporary tutor for a while. You know, for the upcoming battle with Drago.
Tsuna: Ah! That's right! Drago-san's fighting tutor, Rico-san!
Rico: Drop the honorifics, it make me feel sick.
Tsuna: S-s-sorry…
Rico: Don't stutter. Geez…. You have school, aren't you?
Tsuna: Ah….
Tsuna looked at the alarm clock. It's 6:45 am. "HIIIEEE! I'm late!" and with that, Tsuna quickly went to dress up and went to school, leaving Rico alone. Rico sighed. 'That's my student? Looks like it won't be easy as that kid…'"Looks like you have came, Lupo Rosso." said the world greatest hitman, Reborn, who was leaning at the door frame. Rico put his hands inside the pockets, sat on Tsuna's bed with crossed legs and leaned at the wall. "Hmph, well, yes, our leader's order after all." He said while closing his eyes.
Rico: Can't believe that that brat was your student.
Reborn: You haven't seen him in his HDWM and believe me, he's strong.
Rico: I can guess just by looking at him. You didn't teach him some combat arts when he wasn't in his HDWM?
Reborn: It's unnecessary.
Rico: How to automatically activate the HDWM?
Reborn: He's not ready yet.
Rico: Excuses. He was ready for a long time. But from what I see, you did a great job on teaching him. I should praise you for that.
Reborn: I'm the greatest hitman after all. You should improve your skills to beat me.
Rico: Like I give a damn about that kind of things. And I'm confidence that my current skills could already beat you.
Reborn: Hm… We'll see but for now, let's go downstairs. I'll introduce you to Mama and the others since you're going to live with us for a while.
Rico: Please don't remind me about that…
At Namimori Middle School,
Luckily, Tsuna got to his class on time without being bitten to death, or scolding. After he settled in his seat, the teacher came in.
"Alright class, I have two announcements. First, there is a new teacher who will be teaching arts and music. Next, we have two transfer students. They came from Spain so they can't speak Japanese fluently. I hope that all of you would be nice to them. Now, I'll introduce them. Please come in!" Then, two familiar people, a blue haired girl and an orange haired boy came in.
"Hello, I'm Hibiki Lui!" said the orange haired boy while smiling widely.
"Yo, I'm Ayame Aoi." said the blue haired girl with blank face.
Yamamoto: Ah!
Tsuna: Ah!
Gokudera: Huh?!
Kyoko: Oh!
Hana: You're….
Chrome: …
Enma: Ah!
There were some murmurs "The girl was cute!" "The boy was so handsome, let's make a fan club!" but they paid it no mind. The two went to their respective seats which were gestured by the teacher. Aoi's seat was in front of Yamamoto while Hibiki's was behind Gokudera. Then, the teacher started his lesson which was English. 'Boring…' Hibiki and Aoi thought.
Lunch time~!
Tsuna and the others invited Aoi and Hibiki to eat lunch at the roof together while having some chit-chat.
Tsuna: I don't know that you're going to attend this school…
Aoi: I. HATE. SCHOOL! Gurgh!
Yamamoto: Ahaha! Don't be like that! I'm sure you will be having nice time here!
Hibiki: Yup~ And Aoi, no class skipping.
Aoi: Argh! I absolutely couldn't stand the school. It's boring and I'm telling you that I suck at almost all subjects here especially in math, home economics and arts.
Hibiki: That reminds me that the next subject was home economics, right?
Kyoko: Yup~ Today we're learning to bake some chocolate cookies!
Hibiki: Good luck with that, Aya-chan~!
Aoi: Shut the **** up and don't use that nickname, or I'll slash you into thousand pieces!
Hana: Wow, such a colorful language, Ayame. I like you.
Aoi: Why thank you. But Hana-chi, just call me Aoi, I hate to be called by my last name. Only special ones can call me that.
Hana: Hm…. Alright.
Aoi: Um, Kyoko-chi, Hana-chi, can you teach me how to cook, pretty please….!
Hana: No problem.
Kyoko: Absolutely!
Yamamoto: I wonder how Aoi-chan's cooking tastes like…
Hibiki: Believe me, you will like it.
Yamamoto: Ahaha! I can't wait!
Aoi: Dream on, oblivious freak. I won't let you taste MY cooking.
Yamamoto: Don't be like that!
Tsuna: Yamamoto, why are you so eager to eat Aoi-san's cooking?
Hana: Seriously, Dame-Tsuna, you're so oblivious.
Tsuna: Uh?
Aoi: What are you talking about?
Hana: Really?*sighed*
Kyoko: Hibiki-san, you're 20, right? So, why did you attend the school as a student?
Hibiki: Don't remind me about that…
Ding Dong~!
"Anyway, let's get back to class." Hibiki said.
Home Economics class,
The girls were cooking while Kyoko and Hana were teaching Aoi to cook. Of course, the first try was completely failure but the second one was a success. They had managed to bake their cookies on time. Now, it's time for the girls to give their cooking to the boys. On the boys' side, Yamamoto was grinning widely while waiting patiently. "Yamamoto, whose cooking are you going to eat?" one of his friends asked. "Hm, maybe Aoi's?" he replied. "Huh…"
Then, the girls came in. Aoi looked for Hibiki to give her cooking but unfortunately, he had received another girl's cooking. Tsuna ate Kyoko's and Hana just put her cookies in the plastic bag and kept in her bag. Aoi sighed. Only Yamamoto was left. She went near him and gave him the cookies. Hibiki, who was watching from far, smirked.
Aoi: Here, try it.
Yamamoto: Oh! Haha! Thank you! *eats a cookie* Oh! It's delicious!
Aoi: Really?
Yamamoto: Haha! Hey, can I eat all these cookies?
Aoi: Eh? Ah, sure.
'The plan was a success!' Hibiki, Kyoko, Hana and Tsuna thought.
The next class was music. "The home-room teacher said that there will be a new teacher, I wonder who it is." Tsuna wondered out a loud.
Kyoko: I'm sure that the teacher will be kind.
Tsuna: Yeah…
Then, the door opened, revealed a tall young man, with black headband and wearing casual clothes.
Tsuna and the others were jaw-dropped.
"Yo! I'm Drago Nero, your new arts and music teacher! Hope we would get along." The man said.
"DRAGO-SAN?!" Tsuna and the others exclaimed. Hibiki and Aoi sighed. Drago just grinned.
Drago: Alright, let's start our lessons!
After some explanation about the music and how to read the chords and the instruments such as guitars, drums and bass, guess what?
"Drago-sensei! Can you please play a song for us~?" a girl asked/pleaded.
Drago: Eh? AH, Eto…
Hibiki: That's right, sensei! Just some explanation isn't enough. *smirked*
Drago's thought: You-!
"Yes! Please, sensei!" the others shouted. Drago looked outside the window and saw Reborn, the other Arcobaleno and Rico were smirking. 'You all are devils!' He screamed in his head. Finally, he gave up with a deep sigh. "Alright, but once only. Can somebody give me the guitar? Oh, and I need someone to play the bass and drums." After he received the guitar, he sat on the chair in front of the class and began singing with Aoi as the bass and Hibiki the drummer. Coincidently, Giotto and his friends were about to enter the class but stopped when a melodic voice sung.
Machi no hitogomi ni magire hitori
Sameta me wo shite tojiteku sono kokoro

Itsuka kimi ga waraeru you ni yeah
just Melody
Hontou wa yasashiku mujaki na kimi no egao

Tsuna and Giotto suddenly felt familiar with the voice. 'It's like Hideki-nii's singing. Oh, how I missed it...' the two thought.
Zenaku shitta hito mitai ni

"Glad we make it in time." Luche said while closing her eyes and listening to Hideki/Drago's singing. The others replied "Yeah." 'Hideki, please forgive them for abandoning you. I can't stand to watch you suffered and lonely. Even when you smile, it wasn't your brightest one.' Luche mentally pleaded.

Forever and ever together
The song ended and the students were clapping to the trio. "It's nostalgic… that singing…." Giotto and Tsuna said with sad and soft eyes. Drago flinched and quickly turned around. Not facing the class. But Yamamoto and the others watched the two confused.
Enma: T-Tsuna-k-kun?
Tsuna: Eh? AH, n-nothing at all. Ahahaha… *laughing nervously*
Drago: *recovered* And what are the other teachers doing here?
Giotto: Ah! W-we're here to inform the pupils about preparation for the upcoming school festival.
Scene changed, after school.
Tsuna and Giotto, as usual, were walking home together with their friends including Ryohei, Knuckle, Kyoko, Haru, Aoi and Hibiki. Aoi had to tag along to learn cooking with Nana together with Kyoko and Haru and the other reason was because Yamamoto was going to hang out at Tsuna's house and do their school homework. Hibiki too, had to tag along with Gokudera. Besides that, he wanted to eat Nana's food because they were extremely delicious. Gokudera was having a one-sided argument, again, with Yamamoto. Then, Yamamoto asked something that shocked the Sawada brothers to death.
Yamamoto: Hey, Tsuna, Giotto-san. You were saying that Drago-san's singing were nostalgic. Why?
Tsuna and Giotto flinched. Tsuna's eyes were widened while Giotto's were shadowed.
G: Giotto?
Asari: What's wrong?
Kyoko/Haru/Knuckle/Ryohei: Hm?
Aoi/Hibiki: … *serious face*
Yamamoto: I-if you don't want to answer it, then its fine… *smiling nervously*
Gokudera: YOU BASEBALL FREAK! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO QUES-
Tsuna: *sad face* Gokudera-kun, its fine.
Giotto: I guess it's time to tell them, huh…
Tsuna: Nii-san! But it's-!
Giotto: Its fine, I'll tell them.
G: Tell us what?
Giotto: The cruelest sin in our family. *sad face; look at the ground*
The others' eyes went wide as they stopped walking.
Kyoko: W-wha?
Haru: Hahi! I don't know that Tsuna-san's family committed a sin!
Tsuna: Well, it was the cruelest thing we had ever done.
Asari: Care to tell us?
Giotto: The truth is we once had a big brother.
The others (excluding Aoi and Hibiki): HUH?!
Ryohei: I EXTREMELY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT!
G: Actually, we all knew nothing about that. Continue…
Giotto: I don't want to explain here. So, let's continue at the living room.
They reached at Sawada's Residence. They greeted and Bianchi told them that Mama and the kids had gone shopping. Now, they were sitting at the living room with treats and drinks served. Unexpectedly, Mukuro, Chrome, Anna and Hibari were there. Mukuro was complaining about the trainers whose were yet to appear. Hibari and Anna were just coming over after they 'greeted' each other for some hours on the school roof. Apparently, they too were curious about the older brother of Tsuna and Giotto.
Then, Giotto continued his story.
"As I told you earlier, we once had a big brother. His name was Sawada Hideki and his age is about 20. He was a carefree, responsible and cheerful big brother. He also was a kind-hearted person and he had a melodic voice." Giotto continued with sad, guilty tones and face.
G: So, where was he now?
Tsuna: We-we don't know…
Giotto: Either he alive or not, we know nothing about that.
Asari: Why? He ran away?
Tsuna: N-no. W-w-we abandoned him 13 years ago….
Rico: Abandoned?
Rico and the Arcobaleno walked into the living room.
Tsuna: Ah! Rico, Reborn, you were here?
Reborn: Yeah, we were having some fun just now, right?*glares at Rico*
Rico: Yeah, just having some fun. *glares back*
Fon: Yare, yare….
Skull: T-two Reborn.
Reborn/Rico: What was that, lackey/wimp? *menacing voice*
Skull: Nothing. *gulped*
The others were sweat-dropped.
Lal: Anyway, continue, Sawada.
Tsuna: Ah…
Giotto: Hideki-nii had a fragile body. He couldn't even play with his friends. So, he would usually sing with his guitar that we bought for him for his 5th birthday. Every day, we would usually hear his melodic voice and guitar until he was 7. One evening, he was looking at Tsuna and I whose were playing happily. Suddenly, he collapsed. Papa quickly called the ambulance and Hideki-nii had to stay in the hospital for 3 whole days. The doctor said that Hideki-nii's body had become worse and it will be the matter of time until his organs completely stopped working.
Everyone gasped.
Rico: Then, why did you abandon him in the first place?
Giotto: I don't know…. Mama and Papa brought us to Italy for family vacations. When, it was time for us to get back to Japan, Hideki didn't appear.
Tsuna: Mama brought him to a walk before that a-a-an-and when s-s-she came back, she was alone.
Giotto: I asked her about him but Papa answered on her stead, saying that Hideki-nii would be staying at his friend's house.
Tsuna: We found out about the truth 2 years later. We couldn't help but felt guilty as we as his little brothers didn't come to him. *cried* Then, we promised that we would find him no matter what.
Giotto comforted Tsuna but he was crying too.
Lal: What was that idiot thinking?!
Giotto: That time, I had a feeling that Papa might be possessed…
Colonello: Huh?
Reborn: What do you mean?
Giotto: He was home 3 years later and he asked about Hideki. It was weird, I-I-I mean, he suggested himself to Mama to abandoned Hideki in Italy.
Anna, Aoi and Hibiki were silence all the time. Seeing these brothers' reactions, they would forgive them, but how about him?
The people didn't notice that a person who was listening the whole thing was sitting on the roof. His lips curved upwards. 'Idiots~.'
~Awkward silence~
"Maybe we could help you guys to find him." Hibiki said.
Tsuna: *stopped crying* E-eh?!
Hibiki: Yup~!
Giotto: Did you mean what you were saying just now?
Hibiki: We can help you to find him, right?
The Arcobaleno and the other generals looking at him with are-you-seriously-meant-that- looks.
Hibiki just grinned and nodded. "But I'm just going to give you the first clue since I promised him to keep where he was as a secret. I will tell you the rest after you won against Drago in the game."
Everyone: It's not a game.
Hibiki: Hai, hai.
"So, what are you guys talking about?" Drago said while entering the living room and leaning at the wall.
?: Drago! I can't find the one I'm going to train to the GEOGDOUI (Korean language)!
Hibiki: Che, the most annoying person had come.
Then, a man with sleeveless dark yellow shirt and a pair of white trousers burst into the room. He has black and silver (slightly) hair and green eyes. He was panted heavily.
The man shouted, "GEOGDOUI! What am I going to do?!"
Drago: Fernando, he wa-
Fernando: I SEARCHED AROUND THE TOWN FOR 10 ******* TIMES!
Aoi: Fernando!
Fernando: Ah! *kneeled;praying* Oh, lord, please punish me for my swearing! *crying*
Hibiki: Fernan-
Fernando: How unlucky day…. *gloomy* I can't even find my soon-to-be student and I swore!
Drago: Fernando!
Fernando: Omo?
Drago: He was over there… *points at Ryohei*
Fernando: Oh! I'm not a failure, right?
Drago: Nope~!
Fernando: Thank you! You're really a good big brother to the GEOGDOUI!
Then, Fernando hugged Drago, tightly till a crack could be heard. He stopped and looked at Drago. Drago's was coming out from his mouth.
Fernando: DRAGO!
Hibiki and Aoi were only sighed and face-palmed.
Drago: Ahem! *recovered* Let me introduce your trainer, Ryohei, Knuckle. This is Fernando, one of my generals. He was an expert in boxing, many other arts and healing.
Knuckle/Ryohei: EXTREMELY PLEASED TO MEET YOU!
Fernando: GEOGDOUI pleased to meet you too. So, you're Sasagawa Ryohei and Sasagawa Knuckle huh… Alright, let's start our training now! Run around the town for 10 rounds and finish it by the sunset!
Ryohei: EXTREME! *starts to run*
Knuckle: Oh, it seems to be going an interesting training to the EXTREME! *strips of his priest clothes;runs off*
Lussuria: How manly~! *runs off*
Fernando: You bet! *runs off*
Gokudera: Oi! How long do you intend to play around?!
Hibiki: It already started. By the way, fixed your hot-temper first!
Gokudera: WHAT WAS THAT?!
Hibiki: A right hand man should know how to control his emotions. That's a basic rule.
Gokudera: WHA-!
Hibiki: And I won't start the training until you could control your own temper.
Gokudera: Tch! Fine.
G: Oh….
?: Hihihihi~!
A voice giggled in the air. Everyone searched for the source but found none until two bloody bodies were on Tsuna's and Giotto's shoulders.
Tsuna looked and widen his eyes. He couldn't move a finger and so is his brother.
Gokudera and G panicked.
Tsuna and Giotto shrugged the bodies off and scrambled on the table. The bodies stood up and a laugh could be heard.
"HAHAHAHA! NICE ONE!" It was Drago. "D-don't just laugh, help us!" Tsuna and Giotto said in unison.
Drago: Alright, alright. You can stop now. They will wet their pants if you don't and I think you had saw enough, right?
The bodies laugh, "Hihihihi, HAHAHAH!" then, mists started to appear around the bodies. After that, they weren't the bodies anymore; they were two 15 year old teens. They were a girl and a boy with green hair and bright yellow eyes. They were similar but the boy's left eye was patched while the girl's right eye was patched and the boy's pupils were slanted like a snake. They were wearing (check out my profile because I can't describe them.) clothes. Then, they stopped laughing and looked at Tsuna and Giotto with eerily expressions.
The boy: Oh, they were cowards, right, my dear sister? Huhuhu ~!
The girl: You're right, my little brother. Their scared expressions were hilarious! Hihihi ~!
Hibiki: Alice, Alex, don't scare them like that!
Alex: Oh, are you scare, Hibiki-chan~?
Hibiki: *a vein popped;still calm* Shut up.
Alice: Aoi-chan~! I missed you~! *hugged her*
Aoi: Welcome back~!
Yamamoto looked jealous.
Gokudera: JUUDAIME! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!
Tsuna: Un! I'm fine.
Giotto: That really scared me….
Alice and Alex stopped whatever they were doing and jumped on Drago.
Alice/Alex: Drago!
Drago managed to balance. He patted their heads. "Welcome back! How was the mission?"
Alice/Alex: Hmph! The most boring one! We thought they could put up some show but nothing at all. How disappointed.
Drago: Well, rejoice! This mission wouldn't be boring.
Alice: What is the mission exactly?
Drago: Train them. *points at Mukuro and Chrome*
Alice went to Mukuro and kneeled while staring straight into the mismatched eyes. Alex was doing the same but to Chrome. A blush could be seen on the shy girl face. The staring lasted for 2 minutes and the twins stood up. They smirked, "Oh, interesting fellow. Looks like you could give some show during our training."
Alex: Interesting little toys, huh… You're a cruel little one, sister.
Alice: What? Since he was my first student in the past 2 years, I might as well enjoy it.
Drago: Just no killing.
Alice: As you wish, master. *slung an arm at her brother shoulder.*
Drago: Stop it, you creeping me out.
Alex: Well, see you tomorrow at school, Dokuro.
Alice: Al, want to go around the town first?
Alex: Oh, great idea!
Alice: Well then, arrividerci, Chrome Dokuro-chan, Rokudo Mukuro-kun~!
Hibiki: You're staying with them.
They stopped their tracks.
Alice/Alex: EEHH!
Aoi: You heard the man.
Alice: But! He was a man!
Aoi: Say that to that devil.
Drago: Payback.
Alex: Oh.
Alice: Oh.
Drago smirked with evil and calm aura surrounded him.
Alice: What did we do?
Drago: You scared Hoshi.
Alex: I thought so.
Alice: It was just a joke.
Drago: And thanks to that joke he wouldn't stop crying for a week. *menacing voice*
Alice/Alex: We're sorry.
Mukuro: Kufufufu~, are you kidding me? My trainer was a girl? You underestimated me, Drago Nero. Kufufufufu~ *a small almost invisible blush could be seen*
Chrome: *blushed*
Drago: Don't judge a book by its cover.
Hibiki/Aoi: Yup~
Alice: Boys said that every time. Seriously!
Alex: Oh? Anna, you were here?
Alice: *twitched*
Anna: *flinched* What do you want?
Alice: Let's finish off our fight, shall we?
Anna: Oh… If that a challenge, I will gladly accept it.
Drago: Hai! STOOOPP! I don't want this place destroyed before Hoshi could see it!
The two stop. All his Generals looked at him.
The Generals: HUH?!
Hibiki: *shocked* H-H-H-Hoshi's coming?
Drago: Of course~! He will be here with Danielle in about-
Ding Dong!
Drago: Let me get it!
Then, Drago rushed off to the door, leaving the others confused.
Reborn: Who's Hoshi?
Hibiki: He was uh….
Aoi: Drago's…
?: Daddy!
A child voice could be heard. Everyone rushed to the door only to see Drago was hugging a 1 year old baby/toddler with a black haired and green eyes ten year old boy beside him and a yellow and white cat. Nana, Iemitsu and Nono were stunned by the scene and so were the others.
"Did you behave on the way here, Hoshi?" Drago broke the hug and carried the baby in his arm while smiling brightly.
"Un!" the baby, Hoshi replied.
"Oh~! I missed you~!"
The baby giggled.
The boy beside them spoke, "Um, Drago, I think that they were confused about all this."
Drago: Oh! Right. So, let me introduce these guys. The boy was Danielle and this little baby here was my son!
Everyone: HUH?!
Time passed~!
Once again, they were gathered at the living room, eyeing the baby, who was playing on his father's head, curiously. Reborn was the first one to break the silence.
Reborn: So, son, huh?
Drago: Uh? Well, yeah. I got married 2 years ago.
Lal: You didn't tell us.
Drago: I did! To the house when you took care of me.
Colonello: That explained it, but seriously, 18?
Hibiki: Family tradition.
Skull: Huh….
Luche: So, Hoshi, right?
Drago: Yeah.
Nana: So, who was the mother?
Drago: I will introduce her later.
Nono: Haha! But he surely cute as his father!
Drago: Nah, he was more like his m-
Drago stopped as he felt his headband being pulled off. On the other side, the Sawada family froze upon seeing the familiar face that they longing wanted to see. Back to Drago. Now, there's nothing covering his face, thus, his face was completely shown, everything with an addition which was a scar on his forehead on top of the left eye. Drago or Hideki's smile fades and now completely terrified and trembled.
"H-Hib-b-biki?" He stuttered. "Y-yes?"
"Take Hoshi, please?"
After the baby was completely secured in Hibiki's arm, Hideki stomped his palmed on the floor and disappeared.
"Wh-what's going on?" Nana stuttered as she covered her mouth with her palm.
Anna decided to tell them.
"He was your older son, Sawada Hideki, Nana."
To be continued~!
Shina: Well, that's done.
Yuki/1598: *teary eyes* So, what would happen after that?
Shina: That you have to wait until the next chapter~!
Yuki: Oh!
1598: We don't own the KHR anime and its characters, just the OCs.
Everyone: Ciao ciao~!
