A Hero of Dying Will
Ch4
At four years old and after an unwanted trip to the local park Tsuna had finally understood that people having weird powers, that is quirks, is actually a thing. Apparently most people in the world develop a special power.
His first thought had been, 'how is this even possible,' followed by, 'that means all that fighting on the T.V. was real!'
In his last life there had been dying will flames, which could be considered a special power. But not many people where able to access their flames. The amount of people that could access dying will flame had been so small that it was less than one percent of the world's population. But in this world about eighty percent of the population had powers and that terrified Tsuna.
He remembered it all. All the fighting, the people who were constantly looking for more power, all the death and when he thought about that he remembered the fighting that had been on T.V.. Tsuna couldn't help but wonder if he would be forced to fight again.
Sometimes Tsuna thought about what he would do if he was forced to be Vongola Decimo. If he would try to change things or if he would even accept the position that might be forced upon him. But the truth was that deep down all Tsuna wanted was to live a normal life. Although he worried about the past and he didn't want to replace his friends, Tsuna still wanted that boring normal life he never had. But how could that ever be possible in a world where Tsuna was almost assured to never be normal.
As Tsuna sat on the examination table in the doctors office he thought about all the times his mother talked about quirks. He didn't understand why she was so interested in quirks or to be more exact in the quirk Tsuna would get. If Tsuna didn't know any better he would even consider her obsessed with it. In fact the doctors office that his mother had taken him to, that had drawn blood and taken x-rays, is supposedly some specialist dealing with quirks.
Looking over to his right he watched his mother who stood beside him. He saw the excited look in her eyes and truly wondered what was so great about a quirk. When the door finally opened Tsuna saw the doctor, an old balding man with thick glasses, walk into the room. In his hand he carried a folder. Sitting down the doctor looked at the folder and then back at Tsuna and his mother.
"Mrs. Sawada and young Tsunayoshi, is that right?" the doctor asked.
"That's right," Nana cheerfully replied
"You're here on a evaluation of Tsunayoshi quirk or possible quirk…" The doctor stated.
"That's right!" Nana said as she leaned forward in excitement, "Tsu-kun will be entering kindergarten next week and many of the other children around Tsuna age have already gotten their quirks. I thought maybe Tsuna was a late bloomer or maybe he's already gotten his quirk and it's not that noticeable."
The doctor took a deep breath and let it out. It was moments like this that he truly hated.
Finally the doctor said, "I'm afraid there's no hope…"
"What…" Nana said in shock as Tsuna looked up in hope.
"Young Tsunayoshi here is quirkless," the doctor explained.
"No! That must be a mistake!" Nana shouted as she took a step forward. "The other kids might be developing their own quirks right now but Tsuna could still be a late bloomer. In a few more months or a year…"
"Sorry to interrupt." The doctor asked, "but do you mind telling me what yours and your husbands quirks are?"
Realizing the scene she was making Nana quickly composed herself and answered, "of course. My quirk makes the food that I cook taste slightly better. While my husband is able to create and control flames at will. Though while similar to the hero Endeavor its not nearly as powerful."
As the adults talked Tsuna stared at his mother. Tsuna remembered his mother talking about her own quirk but this was the first time that she had ever brought up his father. It wasn't that Nana didn't talk about Iemitsu, in fact she often talked about Tsuna father. Telling him how much his father loved them and that was why he was always away from home. Tsuna couldn't help but notice that his quirk was controlling flames and wondered if it was somehow related to the dying will flames Iemitsu had in Tsuna previous life.
When the doctor put an x-ray of what Tsuna believed is his foot, he was drawn out of his thoughts and listened as the doctor explained early quirk research, the joints in the pinky toe and how it was rare nowadays but Tsuna had no quirk.
A small smile appeared on his face as he realized what that meant. That Tsuna didn't have a quirk, that he could actually be normal in this world. Finally a normal life
While Tsuna was deep in thought he didn't notice his mothers tears as she looked sadly at her son.
The next week past fairly quickly, during that time the topic of quirks was never brought up and Tsuna didn't think much about it. On the morning of his first day of school his mother held his hand and walked him to his kindergarten. When they arrived a woman wearing a pink apron walked over to his mother. While the two chatted Tsuna looked over to a large sign in front of the school.
'Namimori Kindergarten,' the sign read.
'Namimori,' Tsuna thought. He had always suspected that in this life, like his previous, that he lived in the small town of Namimori. There had been to many similarities to not think it was Namimori, from the house he lived in, to the neighborhood and even his neighbors pet dog. Though Tsuna had never gone out of his way to confirm it. In fact he often tried to avoid anything that could confirm whether the place he lived in is Namimori or not.
It wasn't as if Tsuna didn't want to know. It was just that if he did know that would bring him that much closer to having to accept the similarities and differences of this alternate universe. And this had to be an alternate universe. After having to dealing with the incident in the future and Byakuran, there was no doubt that he was reborn into an alternate universe.
As the adults finished talking and the kindergarten teacher gently took Tsuna hand and led him towards the school. Tsuna looked back at his mother and watched her wave goodbye.
Turning a corner Tsuna couldn't see his mother anymore and a wave of anxiety hit him. He had never wanted to make friends. To replace those that he had left behind but at the same time Tsuna had wanted to see them again, his friends and loved ones. Though if he ever met his friends and loved ones in this life Tsuna knew that they would not be the same. They wouldn't be the same people that he had left behind. How could he replace them with those in this universe?
The hand holding his gave a gentle squeeze and Tsuna looked up to see the smiling face of his teacher who said, "Don't worry Tsuna-kun everyone is super nice and I'm sure they'll like you."
Tsuna gave a watery smile and nodded his head in agreement. There was no reason to worry his teacher. His teacher, more or less reassured, came to a stop in front of a door. Taking a deep breath Tsuna tried to calm himself. In his previous life he had always been in the same class as Kyoko, Hana and Takeshi. If this world played out the same as his previous one then Tsuna would be seeing some of his friends today for the first time.
For Tsuna it felt like time had slowed as the door was opened. With the door opened Tsuna froze in fright, not sure if he should run inside to see his friends or to run away in fright. The decision was made for him as the teacher lost her patience and dragged Tsuna into the classroom.
The room was a mess of bright color, to the point that it looked like someone had vomited a rainbow in the class. Tsuna was dragged through the classroom and to an empty area where children, who must be his classmates, sat in a circle. The teacher led Tsuna to an empty spot that formed the circle and Tsuna sat himself down.
While the teacher went to talk to whom he assumed where teaching assistants in the corner, Tsuna noticed a few familiar faces. The children from the park, all of whom had formed their own groups. The girl that Tsuna had seen floating before was whispering to another girl. He noticed that the boy whom hadn't shown any powers that day was showing another boy what looked to be an action figure of a buff blonde haired man. While the kid that had eaten the tire swing that day was being handed all kinds of items by the children that sat next to him. Tsuna watched as someone handed the kid some keys and were eaten. He hoped those hadn't been important.
It was as he sat in the circle that Tsuna came to a realization. That they weren't here, that the people that Tsuna had both wanted to see and avoid weren't in this classroom. That Kyoko, Hana and Takeshi were missing. A bitter laugh bubbled up from within Tsuna and he looked down at his feet. For a long time now he had wondered what he should do when he saw them but now it looked like that wasn't a problem.
"Sensei!" A child screamed, "he's crying!"
Tsuna brought his hands up to his face and touched the wet trails of tears. His friends weren't here.
I actually had a hard time deciding how I wanted to end this chapter and how long I wanted to make it. Originally I had wanted to write more but I decided to end it here because it would be easier and made more sense.
So some more angst as Tsuna figures stuff out. A lot of people kept on trying to guess what Tsuna quirk was and it turns out he's quirkless. There's actually a reason for this and no, Tsuna isn't going to be the new Midoriya.
