Last time:

"Ah, there you are. This is Tsuna. He is the human Reborn formed the contract with. Tsuna these are our other companions or you could say the other Arcobaleno. This is Lal mirch, Verde, Viper, Colonello and Skull."

Tsuna smiled at them all and continued his own observing. The other woman, Lal mirch, was giving him the image of a peaceful doe, The scientist, Verde, that of a fast cobra, the happy one, Colonello, was easily compared to a wild mustang and finally the weird one, Skull, that of a flexible cheetah and Viper a free eagle.

"Nice to meet you, please call me Tsuna."

Now:

"So, Tsuna-chan, tell us about yourself?"

They were all sitting in the living room, some kind of hot drink in front of each of them. Tsuna gently placed his cup of hot chocolate on the table next to Reborn's cup of espresso and nervously chuckled.

"Eh? There isn't anything interesting about me. I'm the youngest of the Vongola brothers. I really like arts, reading, and cooking. Like I said before I'm 21 years old . My father owns the Vongola company and I can say that he really hates me. I have two brothers, too. The eldest name is Giotto or Ieyasu and he is 30 years old. The younger one is Akira. He has some health problems so he is currently in The Center for Rehabilitation."

Tsuna not lifting his gaze from where it was directed on one small spot on the floor, smiled slightly when he felt Reborn's warmth at his side and continued.

" Our family is know for our many contracts on one person. Both my brothers have 7 contracts and my grandfather has, too. My father doesn't have the ability to form contracts, but then again his family is a special one. Every male born into his family has the ability to control one of the elements. But Iemitsu doesn't have that either." here Tsuna unconsciously pressed his right hand to his left shoulder.

This, of course, didn't escape the Arcobaleno and they made a mental note to look at it later.

"Like I said before, my father never really liked me. I didn't know why, but when I was maybe 6 years old I heard him talking with my mum and then it all became clear.

Flashback :

Little Tsuna was walking down one of the many halls in the Vongola mansion. His tiny feet didn't make a sound as if they, too knew, that if he would cause any type of sound it wouldn't end well. Just as he was passing one of the sitting rooms he stopped dead in his track, when he heard his fathers voice.

"But Nana, you know what he is . I don't want him here anymore. He is old enough to live on his own. Lets just dump him somewhere in the other world and leave him there."

"Ara, anata! You know I could never do such a thing. Even if he is the result of such a bad act I still love him, because he, too, is my son."

"Nana! You were RAPED by that,...that thing and he! No IT is the result and you still want it here?!" Tsuna flinched back. Somehow he knew that they were talking about him and everything clicked. Why did his father, no …, why Iemitsu never loved him or even talked to him nicely. Why it was only him.

"Iemitsu! Stop this nonsense. I know what happened I was there after all. You told me already that you won't and never will love him when I was pregnant. But I will still stand my ground. Tsuna is still my son and I will love him no matter what or who the cause of his being is."

Tsuna could feel the tears trailing down his cheeks. His mum still loves him, even when she was raped and he was the result. And he would be forever thankful to her.

End of flashback :

At the end of his story Luce was crying with Skull on her other side and even Lal has tears in her eyes. Reborn on the other hand was swimming in anger. He knew something was wrong with Tsuna's family, but this never came to his mind.

"So Iemitsu is behaving like a madman for so long already." he thought darkly.

"After this I always held my distance from him. Always. At parties, family dinners or anything else. On the other hand I grew closer to my mum and brothers. And some time later, when I was older, my mum sat with me and told me everything. How when she was younger she took a walk in a forest and how she saw a Mortal. It was a humanoid one. How they talked and met again and again. My mum only saw him as a friend.

And then, how one day he...he..." here Tsuna broke down. He just couldn't talk about it. Not how she could then. He could still remember how she was just sitting there, with him in her lap, not blinking only talking. And when she finished, when she hugged him and whispered that she will always love him. The living room was silent no one had the courage to brake it.

Finally, Tsuna calmed down, nestled deeper into Reborn's side and continued.

" I remember how I cried and asked her how she could still love me and when she told me that it doesn't matter that I'm still her son. This was the moment when I discovered another secret. No one knows it apart from my mum and brothers. You, of course, know about Hybrids. That it's a cross between a human and Mortal," at their intake of breath he bitterly smiled" yes. That is true. I'm a hybrid, just another thing which Iemitsu could hate me for.

Of course that wasn't all. As I said before Iemitsu is from a family of special cases you could say. Every male in their family is born with the ability to control one of the elements. But Iemitsu wasn't. And when he married into our family, neither of my brothers inherited this ability. But I somehow did.

And as I'm not one of his own I have another thing that Iemitsu doesn't. When I got older things started happening around me. For example, when I was sad the whole room I was sitting in was completely covered in darkness. Or when I was really happy it was sunnier than before. Naturally, Iemitsu found out and wasn't happy. I was lucky my mum was there and took me away before something bad could happen.

She took me to our room and told me everything. About Mortals and Travelers and the Academy and all about Deliverymen that she knew. I was enhanced. And when she told me that I was a hybrid,… That was something else entirely. Since then all my days were spent in our families library. I read everything I could get my hands on.

Eventually I found out what a hybrid is. That I was able to control not one but two elements. Darkness and the old one, Heaven. Two opposites but still the same thing." here Tsuna paused and stretched both his arms out. In his right one a dark orb formed, the Darkness. Reborn on his right side sat straight and stretched his own arm out. An orb formed in his hand too. It was the same dark color like Tsuna's.

In Tsuna's other hand a white orb formed, the Heaven element. The Arcobaleno were looking along slightly open jawed. No one has seen the heaven element in a good 1000 years. And that means the old Mortals too. Soon, Verde snapped out of his gaze and jumped on his feet. He turned and ran deeper into the house. Maybe 30 seconds later he was back with some kind of jar. He then carefully opened the lit and with practiced ease, little sparks pulled small pieces of the white orb into his jar and quickly closed it. The jar was then put away inside his lab coat and he sat down with a satisfied smile.

Tsuna then let his arms fall down and sat back against the back of the sofa he was sitting on with Reborn.

„When I found this out I immediately went to my mum to show her. Of course, I was really proud of myself. I finally managed something amazing, something why my mum could be proud of me. But when I came to her room I stopped right before her door. I could hear Iemitsu inside and my breath stopped when I heard just what they were discussing inside.

Flashback :

„Nana, I've had enough. He is already 16 years old and nothing good comes from him. Im sending him to our school, the Academy. Maybe there something good will come from him and only then can he call himself my son." Tsuna flinched back at this. No, The Academy, NO! He wants to stay with his mum here, in the mansion.

„But Iemitsu ..."

„No Nana! I decided on something and it is final." With this said Tsuna heard Iemitsu's loud steps approaching the door and quickly hid behind some plants in the hall. Once he was sure that Iemitsu was far enough away and only then he went inside his mother's room.

„Ah, Tsuna. There you are I was wondering where you went this time. What can I do for you?" his mother asked with her ever present smile. Tsuna smiled sadly at her and sat next to her legs on the floor.

„You knew this would come, right?"he asked her slowly. His mother always knew when he was somewhere close. So it's obvious that she also knew that he was there when she was talking with Iemitsu. Nana smiled sadly and nodded. She always knew that this would happen. It was only a matter of time.

She sighted and curled her arms around her son's thin shoulders. Tsuna was always so small and thin. She just couldn't do anything about it. She knew that he ate enough so that couldn't be the problem.

„Yes I knew This would happen. Tsuna you have to know that I would love to have you here with me and your brothers forever, but Iemitsu is the head of this family and what he says that pays. I know you don't want to go, but maybe something good will come from it. You never know." Tsuna smiled at his mother, knowing that he can't do anything about it.

End of flashback:

„-Maybe she is right, maybe something good will come from it- That's what I thought." Said Tsuna and took another sip from his cup of chocolate. The room was again silent as no one has the heart to say something. How can one's fate be so sad.

„Ah, how about some dinner? It's about time for one." Said Luce and before someone could say something she was already halfway in the kitchen. No one said anything but Lal, Skull and Colonello ran to kitchen to help her.

Verde, Viper and Fon stood up and disappeared inside the house and Tsuna along with Reborn stayed on their sofa and when Tsuna finished his drink Reborn stood up. Tsuna looked up at him and smiled.

Reborn could feel the pulling in the corner of his mouth but pushed it away.

„Do you want to see the rest of the house?" Tsuna nodded and stood up. Reborn walked inside the big hall. Tsuna could see the big staircase at the end of it along with two doors, which Tsuna thought went down to the basement.

„The right door leads to our day room and the second one leads to Verde's lab, so I wouldn't go there if I were you." Reborn warned and Tsuna took special care to remember which door Verde's is.

Next Reborn went to the staircase and up to the first floor. Once there Tsuna saw 5 doors and at the end of the hall a big balcony. Tsuna's curiosity took the better of him and he went to the massive glass door.

And when he opened them the view took his breath away. He could see the forest and mountains around them, the orange sky from the setting sun and the beautiful gardens and pools beneath him. Wao.

„Wow. It's so beautiful." Tsuna whispered but he could tell that Reborn heard him. Reborn chuckled and ruffled his hair. Next they went through the first door, which lead to the gigantic library which took up the space of one whole side of the floor . So technically the three doors on this side all belonged to the library.

Tsuna could feel the drool in his mouth. The walls were painted in a warm dark red and the carpet a smooth dark brown. Millions of books were stacked in shelfs of light brown wood and around the whole room were many kinds of comfortable fluffy seats in many colors.

One side was covered by big windows with a perfect view of the gardens, which were on some kind of small hill so they were right in front of the windows. He also saw many candles scattered around the room and on the walls and when he looked up he saw a beautiful old crystal chandelier.

One of the rooms on the other side turned out to be the gym with many training machines and the other one a study. On the next floor were bedrooms. Red, green and yellow for Fon, yellow, blue and purple for Skull, purple, brown and grey for Verde, blue, purple and grey for Luce. Green , red and blue for Mammon, brown, grey and yellow for Lal, gray, red and blue for Colonello and for Reborn black, red And green

Each of the rooms was the same as Reborn's, but the colors were different. And finally they went to the final floor, which was an open floor with some chairs and tables for the family moments with cards and such. As Tsuna was told, the roof can be closed when it's raining.

The roof was completely made of glass so you can still see the sky. It must be really beautiful when it's raining or it's night and the stars are out. When they were finished with their tour, they returned to the living room and then went into the kitchen.

It was a massive room with enough space for 5 people to cook in together. Next to the room was another which Tsuna found out was the dinning room. It had a big table for maybe 20 people some plants here and there and a big chandelier over the table.

The table was already set and everyone except of them and Luce were already sitting. Tsuna turned back into kitchen to help Luce and Reborn sat down.

„Oi, Lackey move over." Reborn said when he sat down so one sit was next to him where usually Luce sat. Skull looked at him, opening his mouth, ready to protest but when he saw Reborn's face he squeaked and moved so another sit was free where Reborn sat so there were two free seats next to him.

Meanwhile in the kitchen:

„Ehm, Luce-san. Do you need any help?„ Tsuna asked nervously. No one ever wanted help from him except for his mother, brothers and now Reborn. Luce looked up from where she was mixing some kind of pie crust.

„Ara, Tsu-chan. There you are. I was starting to wonder where Reborn took you. And of course you can help me. You don't need to call me Luce-san, Luce is enough."Luce smiled and moved aside to make some place for him.

Tsuna smiled shyly at her and rolled his sleeves up. „Ah, yes. Reborn took me on a tour around your house. It's really beautiful." Said Tsuna and started mixing the pie crust.

„My, my. Thank you. We build it together when we were younger. Oh it has been ages ago."

Tsuna nodded, already suspecting something like this. „And I really love your gardens. Do you maintain it yourself?"

„Yes we do,well mostly I do. Sometimes Skull helps me. But more than not I do it alone, you know. It's because everyone has some kind of work to do."

„I see. Luce I have this one question. I hope you won't get mad. Ah, I was wondering if anyone of you ever contracted a human?" Tsuna asked nervously. Luce stopped her mixing and looked at him. Tsuna was looking down and didn't stop his mixing at all. She could see that he was nervous and she felt the anger inside her. Who would do something like that to a child.

Waiting to be hit for something like asking a question.

„No we didn't. We have never found a human interesting enough for us to form one. Some humans think that we, Mortals, form contracts with everyone who asks or forces us. You have to know that we Mortals also have different natures just like you humans.

So if some Mortal want to battle they will let themselves be bound by a contract. Do you understand?" Tsuna nodded and smiled.

„So they never had a contract. So the books were lying. How interesting." Tsuna mused and moved to help Luce with the dishes. Once everything was on the table, Tsuna next to Reborn and Luce on his other side, they dug in.

After dinner. In the living room :

Once they were sitting in their seats, Tsuna continued.

„After the discussion was over I went to my room to pack. I knew that it wouldn't be long before Iemitsu would come to my room and I would have to leave, be it with my things or without them. And then maybe two days after that, early in the morning, my doors went flying and Iemitsu stormed in.

I was told to leave and never come back, unless called by him or some other member of the main family. That meant my mother could call me anytime but I knew that he would see to it that I wouldn't come back so easily.

So I went to the Academy. Reborn already knows that I didn't want any Contracts, because for me it has feels like locking Mortals in a cage. I know how it feels. So I didn't have any. And sd time ran by people took notice of me and then started the name calling. But to me it didn't matter.

And this was going on for five years. And then I met Reborn and you know the rest. So this is my story." Tsuna finished and sat back a bit. After this they all talked a bit and when Fon looked at the clock they found out that it was already pretty late. So everybody bit their goodnight and went to their respective rooms. Tsuna went with Luce and Lal for some clothes as his body build was closer to them than any of the others and no one knew that he would even sleep there.

In Reborn's room:

Reborn sat on his bed waiting for Tsuna to join him. They were sharing a bed anyway, so there wasn't any reason for them to change it. Reborn was in one of his sleeping pants looking out of his glass wall. He turned when he heard Tsuna's small steps and smirked.

Tsuna was wearing one of Luces blue sleeping shorts and Lal's long white sleeping shirt. He was really cute. Tsuna blushed when he took notice of Reborn's smirk and pouted when Reborn chuckled.

„Mou, Reborn! Don't laugh at me. Its not my fault I'm so small."

„Come on Tsuna. Come here." Said Reborn and patted a spot next to him. Tsuna sat down and leaned into Reborns side, loving the warmth he was covered in.

Reborn looked down at the human next to him. He knew him only for a couple of months and he already couldn't imagine it without him. Reborn sighted and buried his nose in Tsuna's hair, memorizing his scent.

Tsuna smiled as I if he knew what Reborn was doing and turned his head into Reborn's chest. Reborn curled his arm around Tsuna's thin shoulders and pulled him closer into his side. He then lifted his head and placed a gentle kiss on Tsuna's forehead. He felt how Tsuna blushed and chuckled at the cute sight.

He was so innocent. Tsuna hearing his chuckles pouted in mock anger, but then he got a devious idea. Tsuna sat up in Reborn's lap so each of his legs were on one side of Reborn's and then pressed a kiss on Reborn's right cheek.

Reborn smiled his real smile and wrapped his arms around Tsunas waist. He then put his chin on top of Tsuna's hair and sighted. Tsuna's head fit right under his.

„What are you thinking about?" Reborn asked after a while of silence.

He felt when Tsuna smiled and when he pulled back so he was able to look at Reborn.

„How lucky I am to have met you when I did. So much has changed since then."

Reborn smiled again „I could say the same."

Sometimes in the night :

„Skull shut up. Do you want to wake him up?!" Lal shout whispered at Skull. All the Arcobaleno were currently in Reborn's room, trying not to wale the two occupants of the bed.

Luce, who was in front of the group was holding a camera and a devious smile. But when she got a closer look at them her smile softened. There in the middle of the bed were two figures. The bigger one, Reborn, was holding the smaller one, Tsuna. Tsuna has his head tucked under Reborn's chin and his arms curled in front of Reborn's chest, holding onto Reborn's shirt.

Reborn's arms were around Tsuna's waist and on his small back, holding him in place. In the end they were just cute!

Luce inwardly squealed at the sight. She took the camera and with one little click took the picture and all of them were out of the room, just before Reborn's eyes opened and his dark gaze swept around the room. Once satisfied that no one was there he buried his nose in Tsuna's hair and continued to sleep.

To be continued

So?!

But don't worry it will come!

I promise.

Anyway let me know what do you think
