CHAPTER 3

SCHOOL

(Umm…okay so I just want to tell you guys, who are reading this story, when it is from young Naruto or Tsuna's POV, the story won't be in the way they speak. And at the age of 7, their way of speaking will also improve…thanks)

Naru POV

Ever since that incident, Papa had become clingier than before. Whenever he saw one of us he would hug us unexpectedly, surprising both of us, sometimes he even starts cuddling us along with mama and even play the game with us, made us laugh, and throw me into the air. Mama along with Jiji and papa would tickle us making us laugh. Since then, I noticed that Tsu's movement had become slower and clumsier. He also felt cold before Tsu was always felt warm like a sun but now he feels cold and empty, the warmth which he always had ever since I can remember was gone, even Tsu noticed that but no matter what happen I will always protect him and will always love him.

I always help him whenever he slips or trips on his two feet without any reason. And it was becoming more frequent. Mama also commented how his hands are clammy and cold. Whenever we mentioned that, papa and Jiji would look at Tsu in pity.

Then one day Papa and Jiji were Gone. Poof Disappeared. As if they were never here. After two weeks since they disappeared we didn't saw papa and Jiji anywhere, Tsu and I searched and searched everywhere we could look under the sofa, inside the vase, in the vacuum cleaner, and even inside the toilet! but we were unable to find them. When we ask mama where papa was, she said that papa went to become a star. That night both of us cried until sleep took us and we cuddled with each other with dry tear and slept.

Age 7

'It has been two years since Iemitsu and Ji-san had gone back and both of them turned 7, a few months ago.' Nana fondly thought as she continues to hum while cooking. After cooking breakfast she cleaned her hand with apron and look at the time, 6:30 am. "Tsu-kun, Naru-kun, wake up." She shouted hearing nothing; she stealthily went into boys' room. They both were snuggling with each other in their sleep. Nana smiled after seeing this and took a picture of her babies. She went in and gently shook them, waking them up.

The brothers groaned and slowly sat on their bed, eyes still closed. "What?" they grumbled. Nana radiantly smiled, "it's your first day at school." She said in cheery voice causing both brothers to instantaneously open their eyes. They threw their blankets on the side they both stood up and ran towards the toilet, scaring their mother. "God, these boys may not look alike but their actions sure are." She shook her head and signed. As she came down the stairs she couldn't help but let few giggle escape from her, when she saw both brothers, all ready and eating breakfast in a hurry.

Both brothers hid behind their mother, when the white building came in their views, they both nervously glance at each other before looking at their mother, who had a happy smile on her face. They entered the building and went into the room where Mama began to talk to a woman with the dark complex. The woman introduced herself as Mrs. Park, the principle of Namimori elementary school. Both brothers kept their head down when their mother introduced them to Mrs. Park. "This is Naruto and Tsunayoshi; please take good care of them." Their mama said before leaving them to Mrs. Park.

Mrs. Park bends down on her knees, rubs their head in affection and gently ushered them to follow her through the hallway. Naruto felt Tsu nervously holding his hand as they continued to walk, they both stop when the principle went inside the class, who told them to stay outside for a minute. Naru looked at his brother before giving a sideways glance to the door of their new class then back to him. Both brothers tighten their hold, supporting each other. they both looks at each other and both had a small smile on their face when the door opened. Principle came out with another woman and left them with her. The woman then ushered them into the class, she had brown hair and gray eyes, and she had a kind smile on her face, as she introduced them to others.

"Class says hi to your new friends, Sawada Tsunayoshi, and Sawada Naruto."

"HI!" the whole class said synchronically.

After the introduction both brothers sat near each other, teacher started to teach, however, both Tsuna and Naruto were struggling to keep up with rest of the class, which was proving to be impossible.

Tsu looked at his brother only to see him asleep, drool was coming out of his open mouth and he was mumbling something in his sleep. He couldn't help but smile at him.

As the day went by before anyone noticed, it was lunch time already; children took out their lunch and gathered in a circle before eating. After finishing their lunch Tsuna looked around to find Naruto, who chatting with another boy, that boy had black hair and brown eyes, both boys had a smile on their face as they chat. He was a little sad but he also was happy that his brother made a friend on their first day. Tsuna was about to settle down in his chair when he saw Naru running towards him along with that boy with a huge smile on his face. As soon they reach, Naru was smiling even wider. "Tsu, meet Kiyo," he gestured toward the said boy who was standing next to Naru. They became friend immediately and chatted endlessly.

The first month was great for both brother, Naru now spends most of his time playing with Kiyo and him. However, it all changed when few boys in his class started to bully him. He never told Naru or mama because he was afraid that the bullies will also bully his little brother, and was afraid of seeing his hyperactive brother and mama's disappointed looks. He knew that ever since that accident he was not same. His movement became shaggier and he did not want to break his brother's heart by telling him and if he told him, Naru might even hate him for how weak and pathetic his older brother is.

The bullies continued for the next few weeks, he never told his brother and his mother about the bullies he encountered. He also started to come home with more wounds on his body. At first, he craved to tell his brother and mama about them but the idea soon left his mind. Luckily for him, his brother always came late from school as he hangs out with his friend Kiyo. He never told Naru about Kiyo, who was the mastermind of the gang and also he was the one who was bullying him along with his gang. He never noticed his mama's worried eyes on his back whenever he came home from school walking limply before entering his room. He stopped laughing and stops talking to his family. He soon started to lock himself in their room, and sooner he stop going to school because it was too much for him. Naruto also noticed this and threaten him to tell him what happened. Both were being stubborn Naruto kept on demanding and him keeping his mouth shut, until Naru huff angrily and left but not before kicking the door so hard that he was afraid that the door might come off.

He brought his knees near his body and wrap his arms around his knees. A small smile rose on his face as he remembers the conversation between him and his brother.

He felt sad for making his brother sleep with their mother and making them worried; they both beg him to tell them what was wrong. He was still scared that if he tells them his problem they will be disappointed in him. Like the bullies told him and he believed them!

Nevertheless, he was proven wrong when the next day he came out, to eat but he was surprised to find his brother, bruised all over his body and to his astonish, his mother was not angry at his little brother's stunt, as she continued to treat his wounds.

As soon Naru saw his older brother, he waved at him but soon stop when pain strikes him, he hisses in pain when he moved his shoulder, but he ignores them and quickly went to him and hug him. "I am sorry for never noticing," his voice cracked as if he was about to cry. Naruto gently pushes himself and brought his face near his brother, he put his forehead against Tsuna's. He could feel his tear threatening to fell, "I am sorry" he squeezed his eyes and the tears started to roll down his face. he pulls away and look at his brother and again apologized to his him. He was angry, no, he was furious at himself for not noticing it sooner at brother's condition and also for not noticing his only friend evil action. How could Kiyo do that to his awesome, kind and gentle big brother? He would have never found out how his big brother was facing the bully, nonetheless, it was not some random person bullying him but it was his only friend, whom he thought as his best friend, was behind this from the start. It was coincident that he found out. He was with his teacher to take his brother's homework, he said his goodbye to her and left, then he spotted his best friend, at first he was about to call him but soon stop when he saw him with other big boys, he followed Kiyo and to his astonish he find out that Kiyo was responsible for his brother recent abnormal behavior. He angrily stomps his foot and ran as fast as his little legs could and punch Kiyo on his nose thus start fighting him and Kiyo's gang. When he reached home he immediately tickled his mama, who looked at him bewildered. He began to cry telling everything to his mama about what happened. He looks up, his face filthy with reddish bruise and tears, into his mama's face; he saw hatred so much, that it scared him. That his mama, who always forgives him and his brother whenever they did something bad, he thought his mother didn't know how to get angry. Apparently he was wrong. His mother gently hugged him and carries him to living lounge and sooth him telling him that she was not angry at him but he did a good job protecting his brother and that he promise her that won't do it next time without asking her first,which he promised. He was glad that his mama understood why he did such thing, and he was glad that he got such as the amazing mother.

He broke his hug and look at his brother who was looking at him in disbelief, a smile arose on his face but it soon left when he heard mama threatens him to come back or she won't treat him.

The next day both brothers went to school together while holding theirs hand in hand, as they entered the class, coincidently Kiyo also entered with them, his face was cover in the bandage, when he saw Naru his face went white as if he saw a ghost and back away in fear along with few boys. Tsuna looked at Naru, who was still holding his hand, and winks at him and soon both settled in their seat; Tsuna shook his head in exasperation. He got an idea seeing both Kiyo's and Naru's wound and Naru apology; he knew that Naru somehow found out about his bullies. Tsuna noticed how the whole day they had been together, even though both Kiyo and his gangs were glaring at him and Naru would glare at them if he saw them. He was happy that both his mama and brother were not angry at him though for the whole night Naru kept on pouting and kept on blaming him for keeping quiet about it. But still it was weird for Naruto not to be with his friend. "Where is Kiyo, Naru?"

Either Naru didn't hear him or he simply just ignored that question. For the rest of the day, Naruto remained with Tsuna; he hovered over him as if he would get hurt if he left him alone even for one minute. Leaving only when he had to go to the washroom or when the teacher called either of them. As soon the day was over, Nana was standing near the school gate.

With a smile on her face and two big white bags in her arms. They ran towards her and soon all of them started to walk, Tsu was walking with Naru holding his hand tightly, Tsu was in peace knowing that his family was with him, he smile innocently, as his eyes closed, not even seeing the creepy smile on both his mama's and brother's face.
