Summary: In which even when Sawada Tsunayoshi is not the heir of a mafia syndicate, he still attracts the same amount of trouble and craziness. A sky is still a sky after all. Drabble series. AU-kinda. Slightly crack, eventual plot.

Warning: Lack of humor, depressing angst, Byakuran.

Interlude: Byakuran

The smell of blood was pungent in the air, crimson splatters littered the floor, and what used to be living, breathing human beings now nothing more than a splat on the ground. Bodies were scattered everywhere, most dead and those were not, only wished they could be. Anything to stop this blinding pain and horrific sight. The sky was a bloody red, it was ominous to say the least. What used to be a candy store now viciously teared apart, it was in absolute ruins. Orderly and tall buildings and homes now crumbled and destroyed, dust and ashes scattered everywhere. Not a single building was left unscathed. The screams of the voices, the rants and rages of those hurt, of those who vow to get revenge and that 'no matter what you won't get away with this'! It's shrill and painful-

Lavender orbs opened.

Sweat dripped down his face, but he ignored it, choosing to tangle his fingers into his messy hair instead. How sticky, a bath would be nice. He threw away his covers, letting the cool air relieve his burning skin.

Outside, the sun had already started rising, birds were chirping, and a boy was jogging down the streets of Namimori energetically.

"Ahh...What a mess my other selves have created..." His murmur is quiet, with a tinge of sardonic amusement in his voice. Byakuran wrinkled his face in annoyance. "How annoying."

And that's usually how his mornings started. Blood, destruction and a thin fox-like smile. Even though viewing parallel worlds could be helpful, it seemed -to his utmost displeasure- to have a lot more cons. For one, the world seemed so boring now that he had the knowledge of almost everything. Two, he's pretty sure that he was starting to develop a sort of identity crisis. He felt very...common, ordinary almost- just another Byakuran in a world of so many Byakurans. Each parallel world had a Byakuran, but were they all really him? They didn't have all the experiences and memories that defined him, and often times he felt as if he was grasping at different personalities. Truly, he was lost.

How to stand out when he himself knew that he was not the only Byakuran?

He does think about it sometimes. Conquering the world that is. Would he be better then his parallel versions then? If he could dominate the world faster, much more quicker then his many counterparts. But that...seemed awfully boring, after all- so many of his counterparts had already attempted and many had even succeeded. Though recently, different parallel worlds started popping up. Worlds in which he actually fails in his conquering, where his plans were thwarted by one single person. Worlds where he even befriended that person in the end. (What was his parallel self thinking?)

Sawada Tsunayoshi.

His name rolls off his tongue easily, Byakuran had been rather surprised to see him truthfully. But large brown eyes and dark hair that poofed up in such a way only confirmed his identity. It was funny how the world worked sometimes.

He had latched on immediately, he had wanted to be different, to be special. What better way was it to be different then to join his enemy right away? Besides, if this boy was his demise, as long as he remained as a 'friend', he wouldn't dare hurt him.

Sawada Tsunayoshi to his surprise, was a small, tiny thing. He looked as if he could be easily snapped in half (and wasn't that a tempting thought? To rid the world of his only enemy). Byakuran really wasn't all that interested in the brunet to be honest, approaching him had simply been a whimsical idea. He had risked a bit by telling him about the parallel worlds, if only to attract his attention. (Though it was clear that the brunet had brushed him off as a crazy person.) Tsunayoshi was just so ordinary, just how did this tiny slip of a boy defeat him anyways? He saw no redeeming qualities beside his kindness and funny reactions.

But he was warm.

Just being around him soothed him, the brunet's sky flames were large and abundant, and Byakuran couldn't help but relax as his flames danced around him.

For some inexplainable reason, it kinda felt like home.

.

It took about a week before he realized to his absolute horror that he was actually enjoying his time with them.

.

"You know, I find that even the most weirdest and anti-social people will care if it's you, Tsunayoshi-kun."

Bonus for: ilovecartoonsgirl

It had happened abruptly, one moment he was by the sidelines, panicking and pulling at his hair, and then suddenly-

-he was there. Right in between the two as he held both hands up. Bel felt himself freeze as the brunet's usually brown eyes flashed a bright orange, burning like flames, burning with something he couldn't exactly identify. And then, in one quick step and turn-

Tzzt.

He hadn't really understood what had happened at first, only feeling his body become uncomfortably numb and stiff. He had only realized what had just occurred when he looked up. The fluff ball had one hand occupied with the skylark's tonfa which he had managed to catch somehow, and the other hand held a small device.

A taser?

"Oi-"

The shrimp had even dared to apologize before-

...And then everything went black.

.

"When the prince sees him again, he is dead."

"You are not going back, brat."

"Ushishi, the prince can do whatever he wants, stupid shark captain."

"VOI! QUIT THAT! And you got your ass beat by a weak civilian. It looks like we have to up your training."

"...The prince is going to stab him."

Author's Note: Hope you don't mind that the bonus is in Bel's POV haha. Sorry for any mistakes, I need to go somewhere so Imma just post this now. And let me say, I'm absolutely flattered by all the kind reviews and suppor It blows me away that so many of you would actually enjoy this. Also, I'm editing some of the older chapters to make them more enjoyable to read. So far, 1 and 2 have been done haha.

Stats: 593 Faves, 711 follows.

This fic has reached over 700 follows wao just let me crai plz. Thank you for your continuous support! And its almost 200 reviews omg. So the interlude is Byakuran, since no one suggested any characters haha XD I have no idea what happened here. Tumblr is mitskicchi

Check out my tumblr for snippets and KHR stuff, and derpy art. Feel free to ask questions and stuff. It'd be cool to hear headcannons and ideas and stuff :3

Oh! Also, a few of you guys have asked me about pairings, especially about the last chapter (I was worried about that) haha, otl. There is no official ship, so yeah, sorry if it seems like it's 1827 all of a sudden. They're all children, so its still kinda iffy. I dunno, but Hibari is Tsuna's first friend, and Hibari is kind of a socially-retarded dork imo lol So he's a bit insecure at times cuz he's never really had any friends before.
