Chapter 3

Brown eyes stared impassively at the crowded market in Namimori prefecture. Tsuna heaved a sigh as his hand reached for a small bar of chocolate in his pocket. Bringing it up to his mouth, he nibbled the sweet and savored the taste in satisfaction. People might think that he wasn't a sweet-tooth type, even his brother didn't have a slight idea of that. Feeling better, he kept strolling around the market.

He stared blankly at the sellers who promoted their items by yelling loudly and those who bought and sold. Not really interested in those, he sighed, "Boring." He muttered under his breath.

While strolling around, he gazed up at the clouded blue sky. He didn't know when the action became a habit, but it's always brought a calming feeling to him. Unconsciously, the tip of his lips quirked upward. His eyelids closed gently as he felt a breeze caressing his skin gently.

"Hey! Where the fuck are you looking at, you old woman?!"

The profanity yelling disrupted the brunet's short but peaceful time, he peered at a certain crowded area in front of him. Curiosity surfacing, he inched closer.

"Oh... I am so sorry!" Another voice said. It belonged to a woman who looked like in her late fifties. A frown marred her worried features as she kept apologizing repeatedly.

The seemingly leader of the gang, a scary-looking man with a little chain hanging on his lower lip -Tsuna grimaced at this- scoffed in arrogance "Hah?! D'you think I'd let you go just like that?!" He yelled then smirked mischievously, the man extended his hand in front of the woman, "You must pay! Now, give me the money!" He yelled again as the group cheered "Yeah!" simultaneously. The smirk widened, "Now! Fast you old woman!"

The woman unconsciously stepped back, however, the gang instantly circled her. She held her bag protectively, "Uh... But I... I..." The woman muttered hesitantly.

The man's face scowled in an ugly way as he made an eye contact with the whole gang, "Get it." he ordered. The others began laughing before they forcefully tried to take the bag from the woman.

"No! No! Please no!" She protested while trying her best to prevent them from snatching her bag. Eventually, they used a bit of force as they yanked it, making the woman fall on the ground.

Tsuna stared blankly at the scene. Well, he would be lying to himself if he said that he didn't care. He did, though for a different reason. In his opinion, older women were not so suited to be picked on these days.

"What a group of losers."

The little comment eventually caught the entire participants' attention. The leader growled a bit as he leered at the one who was brave enough to comment out loud, "What did you just say kid?!"

Tsuna fell silent, 'Shit! I just said it out loud. Darn.' he cursed inwardly before sighing, 'There goes all my wishes for today to be just peaceful.' Brown eyes immediately sharpened as he glared menacingly, answering the implied challenge. The gang moved closer to the teen, totally forgetting the woman who quickly secured her bag and immediately fled away from the scene. Focusing on the woman, Tsuna lately realized that the gang had encircled him. He hummed in amusement to which the leader took it as a sign of mockery.

The man scoffed, "Kid nowadays, playing hero and shit." He glanced at the impassive brunet before smirking, "Don't go crying to your mother when I break that pretty face of yours." some whistled followed by snickers and laughs. Tsuna frowned in a slight disgust, "It's really disgusting to be talked as such by the likes of you." He said it as clear as the day before he blinked, realizing his utter provocation.

Great. He and his mouth.

Tsuna got in his stance, carefully examined the other's' movement. 'It really is not a big deal... But...' His eyes roamed at the surrounding, 'It's too crowded. Damn, if it were in a more secluded area, it would be perfectly fine.' Then, from his left, one of the gang attacked from the front that Tsuna easily avoided. He was attacked again by four people, however, the brunet swiftly countered them with ease. The last unfortunate person was chopped down on the nape by the teen, instantly making the former immobilize for a while.

Tsuna heaved a sigh, 'It seems like it'll take more time than needed. And if it will, it won't be any good for me.' He tch-ed before something caught his eyes.

The leader of the gang smirked, 'This brat was not so bad'. From his stance and actions, he seemed to be used to this kind of thing, 'However, 1 vs. a whole gang is definitely his defeat.' he thought as he chuckled satisfied. "What's wrong kid? Finally scared?" He mocked as he stared at the unmoving brunet.

The latter suddenly raised his head, "Ah!" he said loudly as he pointed at somewhere behind the gang. They took the bait as their attention turned toward their back to the see what it was, but they found nothing weird.

"What the hell are you-Ack!" An unfortunate person halted as a big watermelon hit his stomach. The gang gasped at the state of their partner in crime (bullying a not-yet-to-be adult is totally a crime) unconsciously laying on the ground beside the gore scene of the broken watermelon (a/n: it wasn't actually gore, far from it, seriously don't mind my crazy imagination, but if we look from the Watermelon kin's point of view, it must be a horrify gore scene; justignoreme) before they glared at the only culprit who just disappeared.

"Where did that damn brat go?! Search for him!" The leader commanded in rage as the whole gang scattered to search for the brunet. "Hey! There he is!" Someone said as he pointed at the running teen who was not far from them. "Get him!" The whole gang immediately followed the teen, completely shutting their ears from the man who owned the inedible watermelon.

"Hey! Damn brats! Pay for the watermelon! Damn!" He shouted angrily but stopped when some money was presented in front of him.

"Hm?" He hummed in slight surprise before staring at the woman who smiled apologetically, "I will pay for it, is that alright?" she asked and looked over at the watermelon.

The man grinned, "Of course ma'am! You really helped me!" he said as he took the money. The woman smiled, "It's nothing compared to what that kind boy did to me. I hope that he'll be fine." she said in worry. The man grinned, "Ma'am, teenagers at his age are energetic, I am sure he's going to be just fine."

The woman smiled then looked at the direction where the brunet ran off, "I hope so."

"Be careful, boy." She said quietly under her breath.

"Haah, haah...damn it." Tsuna huffed exhaustively as he leaned his back on a wall. He has been running for almost 25 minutes now and he was freaking tired. 'Those geezers are so damn irritating!' Scowling, Tsuna wiped off the sweat under his chin.

"More importantly..." He mumbled before straightening himself, realizing his surrounding for the first time after running blindly, "Where the hell am I?" he wondered out loud. He then scanned the area around him before his brown eyes halted, staring in boredom at the huge building that stood proudly behind him.

Tsuna instantly scoffed, "Why here from all places?" that was when the yelling from his chaser who have yet given up on catching him entered his hearing sense. Cursing quietly, he was about to start running again before he suddenly fell down.

'What the...' Tsuna thought as he caught himself before he could meet the ground. Sweats instantly formed on his forehead, he panted faster as he clutched his chest.

"Darn...I've reached my limit." He whispered in pain as he tried to calm himself. 'I've gotta move.' He noted inwardly. It was then when he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Preventing a slight gasp escaped his dry lips, Tsuna turned behind, only to find an ugly face of a man he has never seen before, smirking victoriously before muttering, "Caught ya." he gripped the arm and forcefully straightened the brunet.

The man, who was obviously proud of himself for managing to catch him, mocked, "I won't let you run away brat." Tsuna turned his head slightly, stared impassively dead in the other's eyes, "Sorry to say this but that thought isn't really tempting. After all, I haven't intended to be caught in the first place, so..." Tsuna said and suddenly squatted down before jumping, earning a slight gasp from the other. Tsuna smirked as he did a backflip in the air before stepping on the man's shoulder, "Farewell." he finished, smirking in a mocking way, then leaped and successfully passed the tall wall that would surely separate him and the other party.

"Shit! That damn brat!" The man shouted angrily. He was about to walk toward the building's entrance before someone grasped his arm.

"Whoa, whoa! Stop right there dude!" Someone said behind him. The man tch-ed as he glared at his friend, "The hell! That brat is inside! Aren't we supposed to catch that damn brat!?" he scowled at his friend who quickly released his hand.

"Calm down man...Geez, I know. I saw him jump and used you as foothold to pass the wall but..." The other said before gesturing his hand at the sight of the building, "Do you seriously want to go in there?" he asked, voice devoid of any emotions but fright and horror.

The man blinked before averting his eyes to look closely at the building. His eyes widened as a realization hit him hard in the gut. He then paled as he turned to face his friend, "Is that the place...?" He asked carefully.

His friend nodded in certainty, "Yeah, it is. Be grateful, I've just saved your sorry ass." His friend then looked at the building again, "Well, since the brat that we were supposed to catch has gone into the residence of the real monster himself, I think we have to back out. Let's go report to the boss." He said as he turned to leave. The other immediately followed along, "Hmm, I'm beginning to think that the brat would have been better caught by us than that person. If he meets him, he's sure a dead meat."

The other hummed, "Oh yes. I certainly think so." Then, a light buzz made him fish out his phone from his pocket. He stared at the caller's ID before pressing the "call" button, "Hello boss...yeah...about the brat, I think we have to give up...please, calm down a little first...well, the brat's gone into that forbidden area...yeah..." he explained as he turned back, roaming his eyes at the sight of the building before his gaze stopped at the plate that hanging on the wall.

"He went into that Namimori Middle School."
