Sawada Tsunayoshi woke up with the voices of his parents fighting. He sat up and sighed in exasperation, it's already an everyday occurrence so he's getting used to it now.

Taking one last look of the view from the bedroom window, he got up and got ready to go to school. He doesn't really want to go to school but he doesn't want to disappoint his Mama so he tried, swallowed his disinterest, and had gone to school. It's not like he needed the lessons from his school, he already knew those, he just doesn't really want to disappoint his Mama. But sometimes, he skipped school and just wander aimlessly, going to places randomly.

He's happy today, Mama gave him snacks and together, they took a nap. But after a while, he noticed the ragged and painful breathing of his Mama. He opened his eyes and tried to comfort her by softly shaking her with worry and dread enveloping him. He tried to call for help but no one seems to hear him. Tears started to fall from his eyes as the fear of losing his Mama had completely clouded his mind and heart. He then heard the frantic steps of his Papa entering the room. He looked up to him and saw the disdain and anger in his Papa's eyes. It's as if he is saying to Tsuna that he is not needed. It made Tsuna tremble with tears flowing freely in his eyes.

After the ordeal, his Mama has thankfully recovered; he decided to go some place else. Some place that's far away from here. As much as he'd love to stay, he had realized that he'll just be a burden to his beloved Mama and thus, with a breaking hard, he ran away from home.

He wandered aimlessly, as he doesn't know where he's going. People just walked past him. It didn't bother him a little, because he knows that no one would notice him anyway.

The rain suddenly poured down and he was forced to find a shelter. After the rain cleared, giving way for the orange afternoon to appear. He then started his journey again, but he didn't even dare to look back, because it'll just bring tears to his eyes again.

He shook his body and water was sprayed all over the place where he had stopped temporarily. He looked down at his feet and looked at his reflection at the small water puddle. There, looking back at him was a brown fluffy haired cat with tears lingering at his brown eyes. He shook his head to stop his tears and forced himself to walk forward.

Haru was just walking down the street when she noticed a cat walking slowly, as if injured. Taking pity of the cat, she walked up to it and crouched down and patted the cat at the head gently.

'What's your name? I'm Tsuna. Do you have friends to play with? Can you be my friend?'

Tsuna tilted his head a little as he tried to ask but all that come out of his mouth was 'Nya~! Nya~! Nya~!' He felt that the gentle stroke that the human does to his head is soothing, it's been a long time since he had felt the warmth of a loving hand.

"Do you have a family? No? Haru understands, well then... Haru'll let you walk side by side with Haru as we go home"

Haru hugged the cat gently in her arms, what she didn't know was that Tsuna's tears began to fall.

'This worthless me that couldn't help anyone was being held lovingly by this human. Even though you might not understand me, I want to thank you, Haru-san. Thank you so much for giving me warmth.'

Together, the two had walked home side by side.
