Hello, I'm feeling really happy today. I got lots of reviews! \(^-^)/ So, I'm gonna answer some of the question-like ones...

Guest-san: Okay, that's what the chapter is going to be about. By the way, it's going to be about his past... or else nothing will make sense.

Tsu Tsu-san: Sorry... I have this big thing planned so no 3 months to adjust. This part is the part where you are either going to hate this fanfic are like it. I also don't like to write fanfics where Tsuna 'brag' about his knowledge sorry again!

Yay! Let's begin. (I have never been so motivated to write)


I sat in my seat looking at Nezu-sensei. How I wished he could just focus on his schoolwork and get my mind off that accident. Of course, it was impossible. I already learned this lesson and my eyes never stayed on the board.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, answer this question." Nezu-sensei instructed.

I looked at the question. It was a simple Pythagorean Theory triangle problem with big numbers. I could easily solve this with a piece of scratch paper.

Too much work. I decided. I didn't feel like doing the problem so I just said I didn't know how.

My classmates laugh though, not all of them, most of them. The few not laughing were Sasagawa-san, Kurokawa-san, Yamamoto-san, and Arai-san. They didn't try anything to stop them either though, so I couldn't care less.

Weeks ago, before the accident, my best friend would always stand up for me in these situations. Of course, this was before the accident when I still had the motivation to learn. 'and live' was left unspoken. Before, I never had trouble with classmates mocking me because they thought I was dumb. Before, it was because I was always called on by the teacher and every question I answered was right. They called me the teachers' pet and always teased me about it.

The bullies try to beat me up because they thought I was showing off. They were never able to get even a bruise on me because Tsuri always got rid of them. Tsuri told me to just stop answering questions in class if I didn't want to be bothered by the 'idiots' as she called them. But, I couldn't because I wanted to get Kaa-san to acknowledge me. She never did.

Then, the accident happened. Since then, I stopped trying to gain Kaa-san's attention. I switched from my school which was for 'smart' kids to Namimori Middle because the school held too many memories of my best friend. My only true friend.

These days, I try my hardest not to sleep. My dreams are always the same. The accident. That's what all my dreams were about. Everytime I close my eyes, even if it was just for a moment, I see the smile. The sad smile. The sad smile with blood all around it. Every time I close my eyes longer than just a moment, I hear the words. The words that said "Don't be sad, I don't like your frowns. I love your smiles. Don't frown because of me. Live on, be happy. Someday, something good will happen It's too late for me." The words haunt me everyday. They always reminded me of the one time Tsuri lied.

I can't be happy with my one and only true friend. Tsuri knew that. It wasn't too late, if the ambulance had arrived a few minutes earlier, it wouldn't have been too late. Tsuri lied and I didn't believe her one bit. Nothing good will ever happen. Never.

The bell rang. When I looked up with my lifeless eyes, I saw that everyone was leaving.

Oh, it's lunchtime.

I grabbed my bag and headed towards the roof. No one ever goes there so there were one to zero percent of bullies being there.

When I opened the door, I was surprised to hear explosions and yells. I went to the edge of the roof and looked down. It wasn't surprising to see Gokudera-san fighting Arai-san. Gokudera-san had glared at Arai-san with eyes full of hate and kicked down his chair. However, it was surprising to see Arai-san fighting back at Gokudera-san, wearing nothing but his underwear too. (And did he have a flame on his forehead?)

I sighed. So much for a peaceful lunch. Maybe it was better to have a loud lunch, it kept me distracted from my thoughts. Only a little though.

I shivered, feeling eyes stare at me. I looked all around me, seeing nothing, I went back to eating my lunch. Of course, like Tsuri taught me, I kept my guard up.

Expect an attack even when you see nothing and hear nothing.

Always trust your gut feeling, it is usually right.

When you feel someone spying on you, look around, and then go back to doing whatever you were doing. However, keep searching, even if you are facing the ground.

After the one time Tsuri failed to come to my aid when a bully went against me, I was taught how to fight. By Tsuri herself of course. She was a great fighter and a great teacher too. I learned how to fight and defend myself in no time at all.

Tsuri expected me to use those skills to defend myself from the 'idiots' and I did. Until the accident. Now, I just don't fight back. It was easier being Dame-Tsuna and the pain also helped me concentrate on something other than my overwhelming memories.

When I finished my lunch, there was still forty-five minutes left of lunch and Gokudera-san and Arai-san were still fighting so I watched their match.

When I looked over this time, there was a baby watching them like me. When the baby looked at me, I felt shivers go down my spine. I sighed in relief when the baby turned his head to continue watching the fight.

I saw Gokudera-san keep throwing dynamite at Arai-san. Arai-san kept the dynamite from exploding by wrapping his hands around the fuse. It must hurt, especially since the fight has been going on for five minutes. I didn't understand why Arai-san didn't just throw the dynamite into the air and just let them explode, it would be a lot easier and much less painful.

Suddenly, I heard Gokudera-san cry out, his voice louder than the dynamite that exploded when Arai-san couldn't reach them in time. He had dropped lots of dynamite... right in front of him. If he didn't move, he would die. His body probably couldn't handle such things yet. But Gokudera-san didn't move. He just stood there in shock.

I was going to yell at him to move when Arai-san pushed Gokudera-san away from the bombs. They were farther away but, Arai-san shielded Gokudera-san because the explosions would still send debris flying everywhere. After the smoke cleared, it was clearly seen that Arai-san was unconscious and very injured by the amount of wounds and blood over his body.

Seeing that Gokudera-san might need help getting Arai-san to the nurse, I went to the stairs, prepared to help. However, I was not prepared for the silver tonfa that lodged itself in the wall next to me.

I turned around and saw the one who was spying on me. It was Hibari-san.

"What do you need?" I asked without a stutter. (and without much emotion too, if I may add.)

"Let the other herbivore handle it. You will not interfere understand?"

I looked at Hibari-san, the confusion was barely shown on my face. Why would he not want me to help? And why didn't he stop the fight in the first place, it must have been against school rules! Hibari-san understood what I was thinking and replied.

"The Akanbou (baby) told me not to let anyone interfere and I would be able to have strong opponents to fight with soon."

I shivered. What was his definition of strong?

"I won't interfere. May I go now?"

"Hn." With that, he jumped to the next building. His cape billowed (it's billowed right?) behind him dramatically.

I sweatdropped.

When I came into the hallway with 10 minutes left of lunch, the bullies came to 'discipline' me. (That's the Disciplinary Committee's job.) After the first few punches and kicks, Kurokawa-san and Sasagawa-san stopped them. They looked at me in pity.

Sasagawa-san offered me a hand to help me up, but I declined. Seeing the look of sadness on her face, Kurokawa-san (Ugh! I keep putting Kyoko and Hana T-T) put her hand on Sasagawa-san's shoulder to comfort her and she gave the look. 'Accept it' Another look of Sasagawa-san's face told me to accept. I grabbed her hand thinking about how I first met Tsuri. And for the first time since her death, I said my wish out loud.

"I wish Tsuri was here. She would've loved to see this."

Suddenly, I felt warmth pulsing through my body until it became to hot to bear. I started glowing the moment I screamed out in pain. Sasagawa-san clutched my hand harder in attempt to calm me down and Kurokawa-san tried to calm me down my grabbing my shoulders but the light enveloped them too and suddenly, it was like we never existed.


Then, minutes later, a boy of age 14 appeared. He had a unhealthy looking thin body and face. His messy brown hair covered his eyes.

Three girls accompanied him. One with short honey colored hair. One with long wavy brown hair. One with short brown hair tied in a ponytail.

When they looked up, their faces showed shock and confusion.

"What happened?" That was the question asked by the four people.

The students that were in the hallway were shocked to see another girl in the hallway when she wasn't there before. And one that had a different school's uniform for that matter.

The students in that girl's class were surprised when the girl started glowing. They were even more surprised when the light faded. The girl had disappeared. The teacher screamed and then went to the phone and called the police to report the strange phenomenon.

All in all, it was a strange ten minutes.


To those readers who wanted to know Tsuri's accident, I'm sorry to let you know I won't write it out. From earlier experiences, I realize that I will mess the accident up and it will end up not as dramatic as I thought it would be like...sorry! Next chapter, I will write about the past of our Tsuna. Then after that, I'll go and write about present parallel Tsuna. Then, parallel Tsuna goes bye bye so the rest of the story will be about our Tsuna! (/^ -^)/
