Chapter Four

A late October night

Jumping down from his window, Mukuro looked around while covering his eye, knowing he needed medical treatment but he couldn't go to the hospital. The absolutely hated him with a passion, so whenever he got hurt, he had to go to the Sawada residence.

Walking down street-lit pathways, Mukuro stopped and moved his hand, wiping at the blood before wincing. It was heal fast, as it usually did, but it still hurt. Looking round himself, he sensed nothing out the ordinary as he placed his hand back over his eye. If anyone was there, he would know. Turning a corner, he stopped when he saw Tsuna's bedroom window was still full of light, but the person who was staring out the window was the young blonde, Giotto.

"As you suspected," said Giotto, his window already open. As quick as lightning could flash, Mukuro climbed the drainpipe and slipped into the room. "Your father didn't want you to come to celebrate our birthdays."

Mukuro nodded, before sitting down, letting his hand fall and causing Giotto to furrow his brows. Looking at the other side of the room, he saw Tsuna, sleeping soundly. Perhaps it was a good thing, considering the brunette would make a loud noise after seeing his eye.

"He does not approve of me being friends with someone weak," replied Mukuro, gritting his teeth. "He wants me to be friends with him."

"Him as in Hibari Kyoya?" said Giotto calmly, cleaning his hands before examining Mukuro's eye gently. "It is true, he is one of the strongest of your age, but you've bested him many times."

"Not of natural causes," said Mukuro, his blue eye darkening as he flinched back, feeling Giotto wipe at his eye carefully. "I should be thanking yet hating my eye for keeping me alive."

"Have you told Tsuna yet?" asked Giotto, still applying disinfectant. Mukuro shook his head, sighing.

"If I were to tell him, then he would probably be scared away," said Mukuro wincing slightly. "He gets scared easily and doesn't tend to understand some complex things, he probably hasn't even read up on the subject."

"But by keeping him the dark, it'll only hurt him more when he is forced to understand," Giotto stopped and then leaned over for the bandages, unfurling it from its roll before pausing. "At least promise me, before I leave for another school, that you will eventually tell him."

Mukuro stopped, allowing Giotto to tend to his eye as he thought about it. Telling Tsuna could be a bad or good thing, depending on how the brunette reacted. He could flip out, or he could take it with a cheery smile, which would be awkward, but-

"Giotto-nii... turn off the light..." a light mumbled could be heard, and Mukuro let a smirk cross his lips. How cute. "I want... to sleep..."

"In a moment, Tsuna," replied Giotto, quickly bandaging Mukuro's eye before darting across the room, turning the light off and flooding the room in darkness. Moments later, Tsuna's light breathing could be heard again, indicating he was fast asleep. "Now then, Mukuro. Are you going to promise me?"

"... I promise~" said Mukuro, an invisible smirk on his face. Giotto furrowed his brow before slipping under his blankets, closing his eyes.

Eventually could be a long time away. It was only required for him to tell Tsuna in due time if he were to keep his promise. After all, the devil tells no lies.


"It's Dame-Tsuna's birthday!" they screeched, pointing at Tsuna and shaking there head. "The demon's assistant just turned eleven! That means he's gonna develop psychic abilities and kill us!"

Tsuna blinked and Giotto sighed, sitting calmly in his chair and reading his just assigned book with a bored expression. He heard his brother shriek and dart about the room to avoid pencils being thrown at him. That stupid teacher only stopped them when it was the smart attacking each other, but when everyone attacked Tsuna, they done nothing.

"Mukuro-san isn't a demon!" said Tsuna, shielding his face and letting out a whine when the corner of a book caught off his cheek. "You keep acting as if he's a monster! Mukuro-san is really nice!"

"He's a demon!"

"He'll suck out your soul!"

"You're gonna die soon! Then you'll go to the depths of hell!"

Tsuna cowered under a table, at Giotto's feet as he continued to read his book, too engrossed with it to pay attention to the others. When he felt tugging on his trousers, he looked down to see honey-caramel eyes staring at him pleadingly.

"There isn't much I can do," murmured Giotto, placing his book on the table. "The teacher doesn't give a damn about teaching you lot, so if I intervene, I'm just going to end up getting myself into the same state as you."

"O-Oh..." right, Tsuna didn't want to cause trouble for his brother, the last time he had caused trouble for his twin was when Mochida attacked him... "Right..."

crawling from back under, Tsuna flinched when a maths textbook hit his face, frowning. He stared at the teacher, who seemed oddly fascinated with looking at her nails as he sighed. The other teacher they had was much nicer. Maybe... Maybe they'll ignore him when that student from the high school came to visit? A fourth year may be able to distract them, if only fr a little while...


"Class, I'd like to introduce you to Namimori's top fourth year student, Daemon Rokudo," everyone in the class, minus Tsuna and Giotto, hadn't clicked onto the surname the older teen had. Most were too fascinated in seeing if this Daemon was actually Mukuro, since he looked just like him. "Now class, please do not make comments about his different coloured eyes, it bothers him a great deal when it is brought up."

Tsuna shook his head before placing it on the table. That wasn't Mukuro. He had a similar eye to Mukuro, but the eye he had only looked slightly different from the other, probably due to contact lenses. Maybe this Daemon knew who Mukuro was? Perhaps they were related... but Mukuro never really had mentioned his family apart from his parents, who seemed really abusive towards him.

Giotto peeked over from his book, wondering if the smartest fourth-year in Nami-High was smarter than him or not. He was smart, but he couldn't tell how close in relation Daemon Rokudo was to Mukuro; it was possible, he was a cousin, step-brother or blood brother.

"A pleasure to meet you~" well, he certainly had the same kind of voice Mukuro would pull and the sarcasm that was hinted in his voice showed his personality. His duller eye looked round before landing on Tsuna and Giotto, his interest being perked. "Aren't you the two Sawada twins~?"

Everyone in the class suddenly clicked on and started screaming their heads off, pointing at Daemon while shrieking 'Demon, Demon!'

Daemon didn't seem fazed as h e pretended to examine his nails, out of the corner of his eye watching the teacher frantically try to calm everyone down and scolding them for saying such horrible things.

"Daemon-san, do you know Mukuro-san?" asked Tsuna suddenly, causing everyone in the room, minus Giotto, to freeze.

"Ah yes. He's my brother~" he chuckled, looking at Tsuna with an amused expression. "Do you know him, little one?"

"Yes," said Tsuna, his voice not showing any signs of doubt when he said it. "I saw him this morning before I went to school! He said happy birthday to me!"

"Did he now~?" said Daemon thoughtfully, before chuckling. "Nufufu, well then, happy birthday Tsunayoshi Sawada, and of course you, Giotto Sawada."

Giotto was busy picking up the characteristics and risks of being around the older male while Tsuna seemed oblivious to it all. Daemon didn't seem to be a risky person. Not in the slightest, actually.

Tsuna beamed while Giotto sighed, choosing to go back to his book, not even paying attention to the kids screeching their heads off. He didn't have the time to worry about their worries of being gobbled up by demons. At least Tsuna didn't believe in those kind of things, it kept him safe too. Because being around the Rokudo's really was a dangerous risk.

With their eyes, that is.


Namimori Park

"Mukuro-san! You didn't tell me you had a brother!" said Tsuna, his voice sounding excited as the pineapple-haired teen merely chuckled. "He looks just like you! Except older and his eye is different!"

"Just a little disorder in our family~" said Mukuro, yawning. "And I didn't tell you about my family since there was no need to. I didn't think you would ever meet them."

"Can you at least tell me a little about them, Mukuro-san?" pleaded Tsuna, his eyes wide and shining. "I like getting to know you better!"

"Kufufu~" that laugh was only slightly different from Daemon's. Was it a family thing? "Well, you know my brother, Daemon Spade Rokudo. I'm glad you met him during the day, because eat night he can be a little... strange..."

"How do you mean?" asked Tsuna, confused. "Daemon-san seemed really nice when I met him!"

"Believe me, at night, he's a totally different person-"

"Nufufu~" both turned their heads before Mukuro frowned, stepping in front of Tsuna as Daemon had his head bowed, still chuckling. "My, little brother, what were you told about hanging around weak children~?"

Mukuro frowned, Tsuna just grew more confused and Daemon let another burst of laughter ripple through the air. Things didn't look good.
