ooooo
I'm sorry if the end gets kinda nonsensical because I was lost on how I was supposed to end this chapter. There are some cursing ahead, please excuse me for it.
Have fun reading!
ooooo
Ieyoshi was fourteen when his father had taken him to Italy.
He met an old man, he called himself Timoteo. He was the boss of his father, the boss of the mafia family that was deemed the strongest and the most influential.
Ieyoshi couldn't understand why such a nice looking grandpa was affiliated with the underground business. Despite the nice outward appearance, Ieyoshi was wary of him because he was a mafia boss.
Iemitsu introduced him to people from Vongola for he was going to be a candidate for the tenth seat. To be honest, Ieyoshi didn't want to be a mafia boss. He only wanted to live with his mother and brother peacefully. But it seems like he's the one who fits becomeing the boss, the best.
Ieyoshi couldn't understand why. There were Timoteo, Nono's children. They were within the mafia for a long time. They had more knowledge than him. They were much more powerful. He couldn't comprehend the reason to why would they trouble themselves with a young child like him.
He then knew the reason after he met those sons.
First was Federico. He didn't have the sky flames so he was out of the question.
Second was Enrico, he had sky flames but it wasn't as strong as it was expected to be. He was good at fighting but he doesn't have a sense for leadership.
The third was Massimo. He had sky flames like Enrico, which wasn't strong. He was also sickly, unlike Enrico who was healthy to fight. He has intellect but he can't go into battlefields so he's out.
The last was Xanxus. He had strength, he had the capabilities of a boss. He had strong sky flames. Ieyoshi he was much more better than him but Xanxus was not the biological son of Timoteo. Even if he can take up the responsibility of a boss, he can never inherit the Vongola because he was not a Vongola.
Ieyoshi didn't have any choice but to accept the responsibility they dropped off him.
He then met the young but excellent hitman that was going to be his tutor, Reborn. His first impression of him was bad because Reborn had mocked him the moment they met.
He could still clearly remember how he called him No-Good that lit up the fire within him. He wanted Reborn to acknowledge him so he endured the harsh training that Reborn gave him.
Ieyoshi's good point what that he never gave up. He was stubborn to challenges. He doesn't want to be mocked by people. He was a hard-worker. He had become the perfect candidate for the throne after a year of hard work. He also met his guardians.
Then the incident about Ietsuna happened.
Ieyoshi was shocked to hear about that incident that he was out of himself for three days. No matter how much his guardians tried to cheer him up, he merely locked himself within his room. And those days had become the reason for Ieyoshi to have a flaw.
His flames were suppressed when he was young. When he had come to Italy, they had tried to unseal his flames but it threatened his life that they stopped that plan. They tried to do it slowly and that process will take about two years.
But Ieyoshi accidentally let out his flames when he had heard about Ietsuna. It had gone into rampage that it had corroded his spiritual. It was a good thing that his flames had become unsealed, but it came with a price. His flames was tainted because of his emotions.
That was the flaw that he had.
Even so, the people within his surroundings turned a blind eye to this. He was still going to be the boss. They had no choice. He also had no choice.
He endured this for a few more years.
Three years had passed since the incident about Ietsuna and he was to go to Japan to live with his mother before he inherits the Vongola. But a miracle had appeared in front of him.
He had met Sawa Tsunayoshi. He was shocked to see an exact replica of the portrait of the Vongola first. The child helped him to find his brother's room without identifying himself. Ieyoshi was desperate to know this child.
The fates was on his side and he did met him again, with Reborn, at Sayoshigure Cafe. He learned his name there, that he had been the one who was with Ietsuna at the incident. He did feel a little bit unfair that he had woken up but his brother but his happiness to know him overpowered the other.
He never saw the picture of the child of Cielo Rosa. Wolf doesn't reveal his face. He wondered if there's a possibility that they might be connected to the Vongola's founder. He gambled on that possibility.
Reborn's reaction also confirmed his suspicions if he had sky flames. Both of them continued spying on Sawa Tsunayoshi.
Three days they spied on Tsunayoshi, Ieyoshi thought that he was a peculiar kid. Tsunayoshi sometimes had this blank look on his face. Sometimes he had a guilty look in his eyes when he watches his own mother. Sometimes he looks at Reborn weirdly.
Tsunayoshi also knows that they are watching him on the first day. They were being discreet about it but how he looked uncomfortable as he glanced at their direction made him realize that he knows he's being spied. The second day, they stopped being discreet about it and just stared at him and it somehow made Tsunayoshi more relaxed than before.
They also started speaking to him time to time. Ieyoshi really thought that he was a perfect sky because he felt himself being drawn to him. Even the customers seems to be attracted by his presence as they all looked pleased when Tsuna speaks to them.
And there was also this thing he noticed about Tsuna. He was careful about something. He would always look out for his surroundings. He also thought that Tsuna seems to be a little bit wary of him.Despite the wariness, he still spoke to him in a relaxed manner.
And the fourth day was when he had learned about Dino.
Speaking of Dino, he was a weird guy who's stuck with him. There was this thing that happened when he first met Giancarlo, his storm guardian. Dino was being bullied by other people and Gian was the one who helped him.
Ieyoshi was just walking around when he saw them and he merely helped them. He gained Giancarlo's trust and he also learned that Dino was a former student of his. Dino started visiting him at Vongola since their famiglia was allied to theirs.
Dino somehow became too fond of him that he demands Ieyoshi's whereabouts every time. That's why when he learned that Ieyoshi was in Japan, he ran away from his family to follow him.
He and Reborn had discussed on how to find Dino and Reborn had pointed out a certain airport and he had his guardians to go there to retrieve Dino. After that, they decided to continue watching the interesting specimen which was Sawa Tsunayoshi for the fourth time.
That day, Tsuna was acting weirdly.
He seemed to tremble a bit like something just tickled him, then he looks around in confusion. Ieyoshi felt a déjà vu coming onto him when he's watching Tsuna. It's just like when he saw Nono do that one time.
Then it had clicked into him.
Tsuna looked like a Vongola, he had sky flames. If ever his suspicions were correct then it's a good thing for him. If a much more better candidate than him appeared, then it's likely he won't become the boss.
But Ieyoshi wasn't too sure now if he wants to pass the heavy responsibility to a person like Tsuna if ever he is actually a Vongola. Tsuna, he just looked too innocent and kind to be in such a cruel and disgusting world.
Now Ieyoshi doesn't know if he's happy to meet Sawa Tsunayoshi or not.
...
"Are you two planning to stay here until closing time again?" Tsuna asked the two.
Ieyoshi just smiled at him that just said 'totally yes' and Tsuna just felt tired with their staring.
"I love Kanako-san's sweets and coffees. Of course I'm staying here as much as I can afford to eat." Ieyoshi said. Tsuna sighed at him.
"Your Mother makes espresso just as how I like it. It's rare to find cafes with tasty espresso like this cafe's." Reborn said. Tsuna also sighed at him.
He badly wants to demand what they want from him to stop them from watching his every move like he's some kind of an unknown being that they can't comprehend.
"Just to tell you dear customers, it's bad to take up a seat for such a long time when there are other people who wants to sit there." Tsuna said.
"It's not like there are that much people around this time, no?" Ieyoshi said. He had a point but still, Tsuna just wants them to leave.
He could only sigh for the third time when his mother called him for help.
"I'll be excusing myself." Tsuna said and left to go to the kitchen to help out his mother.
He stopped getting the weird feeling he got like the time he was in school when Reborn and Ieyoshi stayed in the cafe. He wondered if he's actually targeted by mafioso and that mafioso left when he recognized Reborn.
Even if he's thankful that's true, he still want them to leave him alone with their staring. It will be bad if he got used to it because you don't get used to be stared at like you're an interesting specimen.
Putting that aside, Tsuna was curious to what kind of relationship the both of them had.
Just by looking at them, Tsuna can tell that they get along well because of Ieyoshi's friendly demeanor and Reborn's relaxed posture. Ieyoshi smiles and teases Reborn easily while the latter would send friendly insults.
To be honest Tsuna was jealous.
Back in his world, Reborn was the person who changed his life. He always helped him. No matter what he wouldn't give up on making him a mafia boss, he didn't give up on making Tsuna become more than No-Good.
To Tsuna, he was the sun who chased out the darkness he had been trapped into.
Tsuna eventually felt more than just a thankful feeling. He felt that he didn't want to lose him. He felt like he couldn't live without him.
Attachment and attraction.
It started with a crush. Maybe around the time Reborn had taken his true form. He was an attractive man that even mean would swoon over him. On top of that, Reborn was also quite touchy with him around that time. With simple head ruffles and pinches on the cheeks.
It then turned to 'like' as the time passed. With the same hellish treatment he gave, there would always be that caring side of him that never changed even back when he didn't have confidence to do anything. The encouragement and support he gave that made Tsuna want to depend on him more, it just gave fuel to fire he felt.
Eventually that 'like' became 'love'. He realized that when Reborn was injured badly, trying to protect him. Tsuna felt scared when he thought of losing Reborn. He knew that he couldn't live without the man. When he realized that, he knew that he had just messed up. He had fallen badly for the older man.
Surely Reborn only felt nothing more than a familial type of affection with him that's why Tsuna felt that he just made a mistake, falling for someone who will never love him back the way he does.
Oh how wrong he had been.
Tsuna unconsciously smiled at the memory of himself accidentally confessing to Reborn. Well it was on impulse. They were arguing that time because Tsuna had been jealous that a woman was clinging onto him. He felt embarrassed with himself that time.
"Tsuna, rather than smiling to yourself like that, won't you please bring this to Ieyoshi and Reborn? They just ordered another batch of drinks and sweets." Kanako interrupted his train of thoughts.
"Oh–I'm sorry Mom, I'll take that." Tsuna said with a blush on his cheeks. How embarrassing to be seen looking stupidly.
"Introduce me to your crush next time~" Kanako said in a sing-song voice that just made Tsuna red up to the tips of his ears.
"Mom! It's not like that! I don't have a crush!" Tsuna exclaimed hastily.
"Your face ain't telling me that though~" she teased.
Tsuna just sighed in defeat. He's sure that he can't convince Kanako even if he tried. Kanako just patted his back as she handed him the tray. "Here ya go. Oh and also tell them we're gonna shut off soon." Kanako said.
Tsuna just nodded at her, his cheeks still tinted pink.
He walked towards the two who were chatting but he was stopped on his tracks when he saw Reborn's hand brushing the cream on Ieyoshi's face and licking the cream he took. Ieyoshi was red from embarrassment? Shyness of the bold act? Tsuna didn't know but they looked very intimate that he felt his heart clenching.
He just brushed away his feelings. It's not impossible. They've been together for a long time for sure and they are near the same age. Maybe they were actually lovers because Tsuna didn't really know Reborn of this world.
He reminded himself that Reborn was different.
"You two, it's almost closing time and yet you ordered another batch." Tsuna said as he placed down the trays on their table.
"Don't worry, I can eat them in a whoop!" Ieyoshi said.
"Too much sugar will give you diabetes." Reborn commented.
"Too much caffeine makes you cranky!" Ieyoshi retorted.
Tsuna wants to laugh but the shock from before was still there than he could only muster up a tired smile. Ieyoshi noticed the sudden change in Tsuna's mood.
"Tsuna-kun, are you okay? You look exhausted." Ieyoshi said.
Tsuna shook his head at him. "It's nothing. I just feel tired of the stares I've got in school." Tsuna simply said. He was telling the truth partially. He was also tired with the man who was stalking him.
"Anyways you two please just finish up. We're gonna close soon." Tsuna said and jogged back to the staff room to take a breath.
Today might have been just been the most exhausting day since he came to this parallel world.
...
"–crushed in just one day! Avidita is gone! And I'm sure that they've already caught on what's happening. We need to take action before we start losing everythi–"
"Shut up! I know! Just–fuck, you know what? Keep your blabber mouth shut because you're not helping at all! I know we've blown our cover, I know that it's getting too risky! Even if you keep on pressuring me, I can't do anything!!" The man yelled to his woman attendant. Both of them were breathing heavily from the heat of their conversation.
"Get out." He ordered.
The woman didn't move one bit. The man grabbed his golden locks in frustration.
"We need to do something." The woman pushed. The man slammed his hands on his desk, his golden eyes almost glowing in anger.
"Didn't you hear what I said? Get out!!" He yelled.
"Fine! But remember, Cielo Rosa is just at the corner. We don't have any time to dawdle around." The woman gave up and slammed the door of the man's office on her way out.
The blonde man cursed as stress built up within him. They had no time, yes, he knows it now that one of their allies have been found and destroyed. It was only a matter of time that they will be found and their efforts will go to waste.
"Damn it! Always interfering with our plans! Damnit Wolf...just dammit." The man said frustratedly. He let out an angry yell as he kicked his desk, knocking off the things on top of it.
"We need a plan. Why won't my brain work?!" He clutched his head in irritation.
No, he won't back down. He will definitely avenge his family. He will crush Cielo Rosa in exchange of what they did before.
"Just you fucking wait."
...
What Tsuna was expecting when he woke up in the morning was a peaceful breakfast with his mother, walking to school peacefully, just have a peaceful morning. But the heavens must have hated him that they just dumped a spawn of satan in front of his doorstep, at the crack of dawn.
Tsuna wakes up early, maybe around four thirty or few minutes earlier than that to do some light jog around the area. He started doing it the time he was discharged. Today, he was planning to jog for an hour.
But he didn't expect to see a small child, uncannily familiar, passing through the gate of his humble abode with tears eyes. The child had dark hair, dark eyes and looked around five years old in age.
Of course, Tsuna being the saint he is, he approached the child, not knowing that the child could be a potential danger to him.
He had just met a chibi skylark who will be biting people to death when he grows up.
...
"Why were you walking around so early in the morning Kyoya-kun?" Tsuna asked. He was holding the mini-Kyoya's hand as they walked to the direction of the child's home. He was lost and didn't know how to go back.
"Kyo wanted to follow jii-jii but Kyo got lost..." mini-Kyoya said. Tsuna tried his utmost to not pinch the child's cheeks because of his cuteness overload. This kid was dangerous in a deadly cute way. Not the deadly certainly be killed way.
"Good thing that I found you. Aren't you hungry?" Tsuna asked the child.
Kyoya shook his head, tufts of his fluffy hair swaying along by his action. Tsuna thought he would die from heart attack because he was just too cute. Not just that, the sleepy look on his face just added into the combo, attacking Tsuna more strongly.
"Do you want onii-chan to carry you? You must be tired from all the walking..." Tsuna asked worriedly. The child had a conflicted look on his face, wether to accept the offer or not. Tsuna thought that a child shouldn't think much about inconveniencing people because they still have many things that they cannot do on their own.
In the end, the child had nodded and accepted Tsuna's offer. Tsuna easily hauled him up within his arms in ease, remembering how he held his lightning guardian in his younger years back in his former world.
Now that he thought about it, if Kyoya was a child, how was Lambo? Will he be the same? Or will he be completely someone unexpected, for example and adult Lambo? What kind of personality will he have? Will he be the same as the one he knows? Or not?
No matter how hard he tried to think about it, he knew that he wouldn't know unless he see it with his own two eyes.
"Do you remember how your house look like?" Tsuna asked the child who was looking at his surroundings.
"It's big and it's color black and red! There's some park near it!" Kyoya said enthusiastically. "Jii-jii always plays with Kyo at the park!" He added.
Honestly, Tsuna was a little bit unsettled to see a smile on Hibari Kyoya's face. Because Hibari Kyoya and smiles cannot be put into one sentence at all. If it was a smirk, then it's acceptable, but a smile? You better call your life insurance and leave a will.
Still, it was refreshing to see a smile on his face. Though it feels weird.
Tsuna easily turned corner to corner to find Kyoya's home. He remembered seeing it once when he was riding inside his mother's car. A big mansion that was grand, designed with the color red and black, some purple color mixing if you look closely. It's clear enough that someone influential owned it. And with Kyoya's words, it's certain that that house belongs to the Hibari's.
As Tsuna turned to the last corner that leads to the mansion, he flinched at the sudden killing intent that was directed at him and his intuition going haywire.
Kyoya let out an 'eep' as Tsuna sudden ducked while holding Kyoya close to himself, a bullet missing him barely. He sprang up from his squatted posture as more bullets rained on him. He ran up to the wall, jumping mid-air, making sure to not let Kyoya fall off as the bullets followed his every move.
He sprinted off to a place where he's sure that there are people. Whoever his pursuers were, he's certain that they won't just open fire in a public place.
Anyways, he had to get Kyoya into safety.
...
Tsuna brushed off the feeling of being watched on his first day of school when it didn't continue the next day. He just thought it was just a coincidence and his intuition didn't act that much. And that also continued onto his third day in school.
There were also no problems when he was helping his mother out at the cafe after school. Just Reborn and Ieyoshi's observance. He eventually forgot about being watched after those days.
But he didn't expect that he would be attacked on the fourth day in the morning, when he was with a child, clearly not involved with whatever they're planning.
If your planning an assassination, you would want to do that when your target is alone, without anyone with him. A clean operation. It's bad to try to kill someone when he's with someone that is supposedly not affiliated to him that much, a young child with no involvement with him at all.
And Tsuna thought that it's bad for them to attack at the time when he's with a child who is a Hibari.
Tsuna doesn't know anything much about Hibari in this world but he's sure that they are one of the people who's top of the food chain. In Kyoya's terms, Hibari are one of the 'carnivores'. Tsuna doesn't need to look upon that throughly to deduce that they are powerful. Not when he's finally sure that Fong is still a martial artist.
These three days, he observed his Japanese literature teacher and he moved with caution and precision while also being calm even with the alertness that only professionals can see. Not to mention the suppressed power that Tsuna sensed time to time, he was sure that Fong was a killer, assassin, hitman, whatever you call it.
And if he is that, it's likely that he's an Arcobaleno. Though it's a great mystery to Tsuna that they don't have a 'cursed form'. It must be a parallel world thing. He would need to look on that because he's planning to seal away the pacifiers that's clearly taking some toll on the Arcobalenos from what he had seen from observing Reborn and Fong.
Putting those thoughts aside, he did think that his pursuers were unfortunate to come to him when he's with a Hibari. But that thought can only be assured if they did get out of their situation at the moment, unscathed. Or maybe even alive.
"O-onii-san. Kyo is s-scared." Kyoya said. Tsuna let out a sweat as he swerved to another corner. His body didn't have that much stamina as it was still weak. He could only hug the child's body in assurance.
"It will be fine. Onii-chan will protect you." Tsuna said to him with a smile. He immediately turned his eyes away from the child as his intuition warned him from another bullet that was coming for he left shoulder.
He wondered why in the world were they in a deserted street. Just why was the Hibari mansion away from the bustling streets? It's a big disadvantage when there's danger even if it's also a disadvantage to be near people when you don't want them to get involved in trouble but still, Tsuna thought that it was inconvenient.
His breathing started to get heavy as Kyoya's grip on his shirt tightened.
Oh how Tsuna wished he had his guardians at a time like this, well technically there's one here with him but he's not exactly the feared cloud guardian as he was in his world. He was just a small child, exactly around Lambo's age when he first met him back then.
Tsuna wished if he could somehow find his way to a certain home where a certain hitman and a certain mafia heir lives to somehow help his sorry of a helpless ass out of the situation he's in.
He was no more than thankful to the heavens when he coincidentally saw a certain blonde, just stepping out from a house with a certain man in a black suit on his tow. The blonde had his eyes wide when a bullet just grazed the street out of nowhere while noticing Tsuna's exhausted form with a kid in his arms.
"Tsuna?!" He exclaimed.
Reborn didn't hesitate any second to shoot the two men in suits that were pursuing the brunet with guns in a matter of seconds. The guns on their hands flew out from their hands while Ieyoshi sprinted to them to knock them out with few punches.
Tsuna slumped down in exhaustion, his breathing erratic as Kyoya started sniffing with tears flowing out from his eyes, clearly worried for the kind older teen that did his best to protect him. His sniffs then turned into soft cries when he noticed the blood on Tsuna's left arm. It seems like he was not able to entirely dodge a certain shot, aimed on his left shoulder.
"I-it's fine Kyoya-kun. O-onii-chan is not hurting." Tsuna said, despite his uneven breathing.
"But onii-san is hurt." Kyoya said, his lower lip trembling. Tsuna only pulled the child to embrace him. He patted his head as he said comforting things to the child.
"What's going on here Tsunayoshi?" Reborn asked. Ieyoshi was dragging the unconscious duo. He recognized one of them as the guy who was watching Tsuna at the cafe. To think that they would attack him, Ieyoshi didn't understand.
"I'm not so sure myself either Reborn-san. They just suddenly chasing us with guns. I don't know if their aim is me or this child. His name is Hibari Kyoya, he was lost and I happened to find him when I was out to do my usual morning jog." Tsuna explained.
"Hibari? Hibari Corp?" Ieyoshi asked.
"I'm not knowledgeable to companies because it has only been a week since my discharge." Tsuna said.
"Hibari corporation is a company that excels in securities. I don't understand why would they leave a Hibari child unattended. Anyways, it's likely that he's the target." Reborn said.
Ieyoshi looked at him confused and Reborn merely gave him a look. Ieyoshi immediately understood that it's best if Tsuna didn't know about the mafia because he's a civilian. He surely doesn't know about his father's line of work. Well not that they know that Tsuna actually knows and Tsuna didn't comment that he might be the target because he's just a civilian without any impressive backgrounds.
"Kyoya says that he was following his jii-jii but got lost." Tsuna explained.
"Jii-jii? Is it his grandfather or something?" Ieyoshi asked. Tsuna merely shook his head, indicating that he himself doesn't know. Well he knew but he can't say that he knows because he couldn't have known.
"Hey kiddo." Reborn squatted down to the child's level. Kyoya looked at him warily as he scooted closer to the 'warm and nice' onii-san he met. "Can you tell this onii-san who's your jii-jii?" He said.
"It's okay, Reborn-san is a nice person." Tsuna said to Kyoya who in turn just nodded in understanding.
"Is he your ojisan? Can you tell me his name?" Reborn asked.
"Jii-jii is Kyo's uncle. Jii-jii's name is Fong..." Kyoya said timidly.
"Fong? Hibari Fong? That's the name of my teacher in school." Tsuna said. He already knew from the start but, yeah.
Reborn had different thoughts though. He knew that name more than anyone as 'Hibari Fong' and him were closely acquainted to each other. They were in a same team. They were both Arcobalenos. He could recognize that name anywhere.
"Then it's easier that you know this kid's guardian. But first we need to do something to that bloody arm of yours." Reborn said.
Tsuna stood up with his left arm limp and his right hand holding Kyoya's hand. Ieyoshi dragged the unconscious duo inside their house. Oh how Ieyoshi was thankful that Nana was not home and visiting a friend in another town.
Reborn led Tsuna inside the Sawada house. Tsuna was familiar with this house as it was the same as his own house before in his world.
Tsuna took off his shoes at the entrance, not forgetting to say an excuse. Kyoya also did the same as his jii-jii had always taught him, properly aligning his shoes together. Tsuna softly smiled at the child's manners, thinking that it was cute and nostalgic as the Kyoya he knew also had the proper manners Tsuna envied.
Tsuna and Kyoya was led to the living room to wait as Reborn went to find the medic kit. Ieyoshi somehow found a rope and was tying the unconscious guys together.
"What will happen to them?" Tsuna asked Ieyoshi.
"Don't worry we'll handle them. We'll take them to the police after we speak to Kyoya-kun's uncle. For now, we need to fix that arm of yours. Your school starts at 8 right? You still have about two and a half hour left." Ieyoshi said.
"It's plenty enough. Thank you Ieyoshi-san. You saved us there. I thought I was going to die. My body is very weak because I just woke up from a coma. I've only started building up my stamina. It really was a surprise that there was someone running after us with a gun." Tsuna said as he caressed Kyoya's hair. Kyoya was currently settled on Tsuna's lap, hugging Tsuna.
"It's nothing." Ieyoshi said. He wondered if Tsuna would question why Reborn had a gun or how in the world was he able to beat up those guys because it's not a normal thing to have a person who could be people with guns that easily.
Well his questions were answered when Tsuna started fidgeting and looked like he wanted to ask something. Ieyoshi beat him to it though.
"I know you're curious." He said. Tsuna blinked at him many times.
"We are somehow bodyguards that's trained for these kinds of things." Ieyoshi lied smoothly. "Reborn is really my tutor. Well you could say I'm his apprentice in bodyguarding? He trains me." He said.
Tsuna nodded in understanding. Understanding his lie and understanding the reason for his lie. Tsuna was a civilian. They can't just break the omertà and tell him about the mafia. And also about the fact that the two who was chasing after them were mafiosi and targeted Tsuna for his father's affiliation to a certain famiglia he doesn't know.
"Bodyguard...do you think I can also try to train as a bodyguard?" Tsuna said.
"No." Reborn had come back with the medic kit.
Tsuna had Kyoya sit beside him as Tsuna had to take of his bloodied shirt to dress the wound on his arm.
"Why?" Tsuna asked Reborn. Reborn had taken in the state of Tsunayoshi's body. He particularly saw a bullet scar on his chest. Not only that, he was quite uncomfortable at how Tsuna's ribs were visible. It's clear that he's still malnourished.
"Why you say. Can't you see your body's state? You're practically skin and bones. You're gonna break if you tried to train to become a bodyguard." Reborn said as he wiped off the blood on Tsuna's arm. Tsuna winced as the wound burned from pain.
"Are you eating properly?" Ieyoshi couldn't help but ask.
"Yes. My mother particularly gives me big portions of food for me to put on weight but I'm also quite having a problem because I have a high metabolism and I don't have a big appetite." Tsuna said. Kyoya looked so scared when he saw Tsuna's body.
"O-onii-san, is onii-san okay?" Kyoya asked. Tsuna chuckled at him and nodded.
"I'm okay Kyoya-kun. You don't need to worry. Just wait a bit and we'll take you to your jii-jii, okay?" Tsuna said. Kyoya nodded at him.
"It's really impressive how much the kid trusts you even if you just met." Ieyoshi commented. Tsuna hissed when Reborn started dabbing disinfectant on his wound.
"It's a miracle that the bullet barely grazed you or we would have to go to a hospital." Reborn said. "Thank god. I don't really want to go to the hospital. Mom would get paranoid when she hears what happened to me. She almost lost me in an accident before my coma. I wouldn't ever want to scare her like that anymore." Tsuna said.
There was a sudden pause but it disappeared as it came.
"Anyways, it's great that you're fine." Ieyoshi said.
"I'm really thankful that I happened to see you two. I would have become a dead meat if I haven't." Tsuna said.
"No it's fine. We were just surprised when a bullet just suddenly grazed the street and you were running with a kid in your arms." Ieyoshi said.
"Just to say, you were the one who's surprised." Reborn commented as he finished wrapping Tsuna's arm with bandages. Tsuna thanked him.
"Yeah, yeah, I was the one who's surprised. Anyway I'll lend you a shirt Tsuna-kun. You can't use that shirt anymore." Ieyoshi said. Tsuna agreed when he saw his own shirt's state. It was bloodied.
"Thank you Ieyoshi-san. I'll return it after I washed it." Tsuna said gratefully.
Tsuna then turned to the silent child by his side. Kyoya looked at him with worried eyes. Tsuna held his hand to comfort him.
"Are you okay Kyoya-kun?" Tsuna asked him.
"Kyo is fine, onii-san is not." He said with a pout on his face. Tsuna bit lip to contain a squeal. He didn't know that a mini-Kyoya would be so damn cute.
"I'm completely fine! Onii-san is strong after all." Tsuna said and Reborn let out a chuckle.
"You're scrawny, you barely have stamina, you're skin and bones and you definitely can't fight." Reborn pointed out. Tsuna just gave him a glare than didn't look that menacing.
"Yeah, yeah Mr. Bodyguard who's strong and can take on a batallion of yakuzas. Geez, you can see that in trying to comfort the child. Meanie." Tsuna grumbled at him. He thought that even in any other worlds, Reborn would still be a sadist, a meanie, you name it.
"Well kiddo, don't worry about your onii-san. He said he's okay didn't he? Do you think he's lying to you?" Reborn asked Kyoya. The child immediately shook his head.
Tsuna patted Kyoya's head. He wondered what kind of adult he will be. He seems like a normal child and doesn't have the 'carnivore' tendencies.
Ieyoshi came back with a hoodie that was a little bit bigger than Tsuna's small frame.
"Sorry I couldn't find any old shirt that fits you. I hope you don't mind." He said.
Tsuna shook his head. "This is enough. Thank you." He said and Ieyoshi helped him put on the hoodie as Tsuna hurt him arm.
Well after he put it on, Ieyoshi almost choked because he didn't think that Tsuna would look so small and cute wearing his big hoodie. This kid was dangerous for sure. Reborn smirked at Ieyoshi's reaction. He had another material to tease him.
"Anyways, how do we meet his uncle?" Ieyoshi asked Tsuna.
"I was planning to take him to his home. Kyoya told me how his house looked and I've seen it before when I was riding my mother's car. I do think that Fong-sensei will be at their house as it's still early and he will be searching for his nephew near their house." Tsuna said.
"We should hurry before he calls the police for a missing child." Ieyoshi said. Tsuna nodded at him.
Tsuna picked up Kyoya in his arms again.
"We're gonna take you home now, Kyoya-kun." Tsuna told him. Kyoya just stayed silent and snuggled closer to the older. Tsuna was worried with the child's silence but decided to let the him be for now.
"Let's go." Tsuna said to the two and they set off to Kyoya's home.
