To a World of Soul Marks

Chapter 3

As Tsuna walked along the sidewalk he let out a sigh. It had been a long day or well a long couple of days. After his meeting with Kawahira and the discovery of his current living situation Tsuna had felt exhausted. So much so that he had simply gone to his room, technically the room of his alternate self, and passed out. While the sleep had been much appreciated unfortunately the next day had come with its own problems.

After waking up this morning and finding himself needing to use the bathroom, Tsuna had faced a most complicated dilemma. Tsuna had seen naked women before so the female body wasn't something new to him. But the fact that Tsuna was inhabiting a female body had made it awkward. After reasoning with himself that he had changed both his daughters and granddaughters diapers when they were babies and his going to the bathroom was no different, Tsuna had managed to use the toilet. He still wasn't able to work up the courage to bathe and Tsuna hoped that no one could tell that he was wearing the same clothes as yesterdays.

After his bathroom drama Tsuna had gone down stairs for some breakfast only to remember that the cupboards and refrigerator had been emptied. It was a reminder that he was now living alone and he wondered if his family, if his mother had always been like this. Tsuna supposed that his mother had always been a bit flaky and too trusting but he couldn't remember a time that she had been that absent minded. Tsuna had put the thoughts of his family to the back of his mind as he decided he needed to deal with immediate issues like food. Heading to his room Tsuna had grabbed the ATM, debit and credit card that had been left to him. He had then grabbed his alternate self's phone and scanned the content. It was a basic pay as you go phone. The only contacts in it were that of his house and his mother cell phone. It was then that Tsuna noticed the date on the phone and he realized that the new school year would be starting in a few days.

Tsuna silently swore as he remembered his alternate selves ruined school uniform and had come to the conclusion that he would need to get a replacement. A quick call to the high school Tsuna remembered attending, which thankfully was the one that his alternate self was attending, had let him know that he could come by later to pick up a new uniform.

And that is where Tsuna is currently heading. In a way Tsuna felt somewhat lucky that he is going to the same high school that he attended in his own dimension.

'It should make it easier,' Tsuna thought, 'I mean its only school how different could it be?'

As Tsuna continued to walk he played with the strap of the purse he had slung over his arm. As he had no pockets on the clothes he wore, Tsuna had to use a purse he found in his alternate selves room. Inside the purse Tsuna carried his phone, keys, credit, debit and Atm cards. He slightly promised himself that he would start wearing clothes with pockets.

Coming to the path that led to the school on either side of Tsuna where rows of cherry blossom trees.

'This brings back memories,' Tsuna thought. 'Even after Shamal had cured Kyoya of the sakura-kura virus, Kyoya had still found it difficult to be around the trees. At the same time Kyoya had been too proud to ever admit how much they effected him.'

Tsuna paused as he suddenly came to the realization, 'that's right Kyoya! And Takeshi…even if this worlds Tsuna hasn't made any friends, that doesn't mean that I cant make friends with this dimension version of my friends.'

Smiling Tsuna thought, 'right, how hard can it be?'

Picking up his pace Tsuna headed towards his high school and the administration office. Walking in Tsuna looked around for whoever was in charge. A woman with brown hair pinned up in a bun and glasses exited one of the rooms in the office and headed over to Tsuna. As the woman walked over to him, Tsuna found his eyes focusing on the women's left cheek were the words 'Great Help' where tattooed.

Tsuna own eyes quickly fell to the floor not wanting to seem rude by staring at the tattoo.

'Does this person really work here,' Tsuna thought. 'Would Kyoya really allow someone have a tattoo and work at Namimori high school.'

"Ms. Sawada?" the woman questioned.

With the word Ms., Tsuna couldn't help but wince. 'Please don't bring that up,' Tsuna thought uselessly.

"Yes!" Tsuna answered as she stared the woman directly in the eyes not wanting to be caught staring at her tattoo.

"Luckily there was a spare uniform," the woman said as she reached down and grabbed a box and placed it on the desk between them. "You should consider ordering a spare or two."

"As for the price…" The woman mentioned.

"Um yes," Tsuna asked, "is it okay to use a debit card?"

"It would be preferred if you had cash but yes a debit card is fine," the woman said.

Tsuna laughed and watched the woman take his debit card. She swiped it along a scanner that she removed from a desk. When the receipt printed out she handed it to Tsuna and asked him to sign.

As he finished signing the receipt the woman snatched it away and gave him a copy. She then handed over the box along with a flier with what appeared to be information on how to order more.

Tsuna wanting to make sure that he had the right size opened the box and felt the blood drain from his face.

'That's right,' Tsuna thought as he looked at the uniform in his hands. 'I'm a girl…that means I'll be wearing the girls uniform…"

"Um…" Tsuna began to say.

Pushing her glasses up on her nose the woman scolded at Tsuna and asked, "what is it? That is the size you requested isn't it?"

"Oh no, nothing like that. This is the same size as my previous uniform," Tsuna muttered as she thought about the destroyed uniform in her closet. "Its just I was wondering…"

"Spit it out!" The woman said.

"The boys uniform…" Tsuna mumbled.

"Excuse me?" The woman asked.

"I mean would it be possible for me to wear the boys uniform?" Tsuna asked.

The woman frowned and said, "its mandatory that all students at Namimori high wear the school uniform."

"Yes and I would be wearing a Namimori uniform," Tsuna argued.

"Request denied!" The woman shouted, "really now. I haven't ever met a student that has refused to wear their designated uniform. The school doesn't make special exception for students. We have a strict policy of following the rules."

'That's right,' Tsuna thought, 'Namimori has always been pretty strict with the rules because…'

"In that case." Tsuna asked, "can I speak to Kyo…I mean Hibari-san?"

"Hibari-san?" The woman asked.

"Yes, I'm sure that if I talk to Hibari-san he will understand." Tsuna said as he thought. 'That's right, Kyoya was always really strict about the school rules but I'm sure I can reason with him. Not only that but this would be the prefect opportunity to meet him.'

"There's no Hibari-san here," the woman stated.

"Huh?" Tsuna asked.

"I said there isn't any Hibari-san at Namimori high school," the woman repeated.

Confused Tsuna asked, "then middle school?"

The frown on the woman face deepened causing several lines to form on her forehead and around her mouth. "I mean there hasn't been a Hibari in Namimori in the past three years."

"Eh?" Tsuna questioned.

"What have you been living under a rock or something?" The woman asked. "Namimori was originally left to the youngest Hibari, Hibari Kyoya. Three years ago Hibari-san left Namimori."

"But what about the Disciplinary Committee?" Tsuna asked.

The woman made a disapproving sound and muttered, "they're still around, the little punks."

"Anyway you have your uniform and should be prepared for class." The woman said, "I think its about time you left and I don't want to see you back on school grounds until classes start. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Tsuna said in surprise and ran out of the room while carrying the box that held his uniform.

"Hey! No running in the halls," a voice called out.

"Sorry!" Tsuna replied.

It wasn't until Tsuna exited the school that he slowed down. Coming to a stop in front of the school Tsuna turned around. As he starred up at the school Tsuna remembered his own time in high school in his own dimension. How every day had been filled with excitement and the horror of Reborn tortur…tutoring. How Kyoya used to chase him around during lunch break demanding a fight.

"I can't believe that Kyoya isnt here," Tsuna muttered, "if he's not in Namimori then were can he be and what could have convinced him to leave."

Looking somberly down at his feet Tsuna wondered how he would be able to see his famiglia and friends again. 'If things are already this different…what if I can never see them again.'

Tsuna was interrupted from his thoughts as his stomach growled. Blushing Tsuna remember that he hadn't eaten anything today.

"I'll figure something out. I shouldn't feel discouraged just because there's been one or two set backs," Tsuna muttered, "but for now I better go grocery shopping."

With a new task in mind Tsuna ran in the direction that he remembered was a super market. He had to back track a few times but Tsuna eventually found himself before the colorful banner of the supermarket. Entering the building Tsuna grabbed a basket and started to fill it will food items.

'Lets see. I suppose I should just get the basics,' Tsuna thought as he placed a bag of rice in his basket.

After filling the basket up he brought it to the checkout. As the items where rung up and placed in some plastic bags he watched the cost increase.

'I need to find out how much money is in the account I was given.' Tsuna thought, 'then I can figure out a budget. It wouldn't hurt if I got a part job too.'

Tsuna eyes then travelled down to the cashier's hands and he lifted an eyebrow as he noticed a tattoo of a heart on the man's hand.

'People must be really into tattoos…' Tsuna thought.

As the total was finally rung up Tsuna handed over the credit card. When it was handed back to him, he stuck it back into his purse and grabbed the bags of food with the hand that wasn't carrying his uniform.

Making his way back home Tsuna sighed. It had been a long day filled with more downs than ups. Tsuna just wanted to get home and make something to eat.

As he unlocked the front door and entered his house Tsuna threw his new uniform on the couch. As there was no one home and he was by himself Tsuna thought it would fine to be a little messy. He made his way into the kitchen and placed the grocery bags down. Reaching into one of the bags Tsuna pulled out a cup of ramen.

"Tasty, filling and fast." Tsuna said, "the perfect food."

Tsuna then grabbed the kettle off the stove and filled it with water. Placing it back on the stove and turning it on. As the water boiled Tsuna put the rest of his groceries away. When the kettle finished boiling Tsuna took it off the stove and poured it over his ramen. Closing the lid of the ramen he place it on the table and then searched through the cupboards until he found a pair of chopsticks.

Sitting down Tsuna brought the ramen towards himself and removed the lid. Using his chopsticks he stirred the contents of the cup until it was mixed together and then began eating. It didn't take long for Tsuna to finish the food and when he did he stretched out his arms in the air. It was as he stretched that an unpleasant smell reached his nose.

"Urg, what is that smell?" Tsuna cried out. His hands covering his nose the smell lessened. Putting down his hands Tsuna had an unpleasant thought. Lifting up one of his arms Tsuna sniffed and gaged.

"I… geez!" Tsuna cried out, "I was hoping it wasn't that."

Not taking a shower or even putting on deodorant and then running around Namimori. Of course Tsuna was going to smell. Even so Tsuna couldn't help but groan in embarrassment as he hoped no one had noticed the smell and realized what he would have to do.

'I need a shower,' Tsuna thought. 'I don't want to…'

Shaking his head Tsuna got up. He still was having trouble accepting his very female body but there was no reason for him to be so embarrassed. Grabbing some clothes from his room Tsuna walked into the bathroom and faced the mirror.

"I can do this!" Tsuna said to himself in encouragement. "I've seen what women look like naked…not that many but still its not like there's going to be anything surprising. This is my body now…I…can do this probably."

Clearing his throat Tsuna began to undress he took off his knee socks and decided to leave the bandages that covered his right leg on. Removing his pants and underwear Tsuna closed his eyes. With his eyes closed Tsuna removed his shirt and his bra.

'I can do this…I can do this,' Tsuna thought as he opened his eyes. He blushed as he saw himself in the mirror and muttered to himself. "See that wasn't so bad. Nothing surprising here…"

The nervous look on Tsuna face quickly turned into one of confusion as he looked into the mirror. Staring intently at his body in the mirror Tsuna brought his hand up and rubbed above his right breast. He then moved his hand down and tried to rub the right side of his waist as if he was trying to wipe something away.

Tsuna looked blankly into the mirror for a few more seconds until he let out a high-pitched shriek. Gesturing to his waist and then his chest Tsuna shouted, "What the hell are these?"


So yay an update. The beginning of this chapter was explaining some stuff because I didn't feel like writing everything that was going on. I originally planned to end this chapter after Tsuna had found out that Hibari wasn't in Namimori but I eventually decided to write a bit more.

I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. Thanks to everyone who took the time to review, favorite and follow. I really appreciate the reviews so much… you guys and gals are super awesome.
