Through Starry Eyes
I decided to update this one today.
The childhood chapters will be around 6 or 7.
Disclaimer: I do not own.
Aimee floated back and forth in a sort of pacing action, deep in thought. She had noticed the bruises Tsuna had gotten from school. She recognized the signs of bullying from her time at school. He had been in school for one year and was now six years old. The ghost girl ran her hand through the ethereal stands of her faded violet hair. She e was able to move small objects, but nothing big.
Aimee looked over at Tsuna's desk and saw a pencil. She floated over to it and an idea formed within her mind. She floated through the floor and let her feet touch the floor in front of full-length mirror in the kitchen, facing the mirror, waiting for nana to notice her.
"Oh, Aimee, what's wrong sweetie?" Nana asked.
"I wanna help Tsuna-nii, but I need your help, too. If it's okay, could you, maybe, buy a white-board, a couple of binders, packs of lined paper, dry erase markers, colored gel pens, an instructors pointer stick, and a really strong, sturdy ruler. I am going to Tutor Tsuna-nii as best I can. My grandma made sure I knew my subjects up to first year middle school." Aimee told the Sawada matriarch.
"Sure thing, sweetie. I'm sure Tsu-kun will appreciate it." She told the ghost girl with an appreciative smile. Aimee closed her one good eye with her grin, showing that she had just lost a couple of milk teeth before she died.
Nana always felt sad when she thought of how young the girl was when she died. It made her appreciate the fact she had a happy and healthy child.
"Thank you, Nana-nee!" Aimee giggled before she floated up into the attic, which was considered her room, since it had soft rugs in reds a purples with over stuffed pillows and stuffed toys scattered around.
It was one week later that Aimee had a space in the attic set up as a Tutoring area. Nana had gone above and beyond and had bought everything Aimee asked for, plus a standard teacher's desk, a school desk for students, and second hand teacher's books all the way up to the third year of high school. Aimee wished she were able to cry real tears, instead of glowing, goopy blue ectoplasm. She also wished she could wear play glasses, so she could look somewhat the part of a tutor, instead of a horror movie ghost.
"Mamma said you wanted to see Tsu-kun?" Tsuna asked Aimee as he entered the attic.
"You are supposed to say 'Mamma said that you wanted to see me, Aimee?'" Aimee corrected the younger boy. "Yes, I do want to see you, Tsuna. I am going to tutor you for now on. When I am done with you, you will be the envy of the school. We will also be getting you a new wardrobe. I also will teach you how to walk and not trip and fall as much." Aimee told him as she waked back and forth in front of him with a stern expression on her translucent face, her eyes narrowed dangerously.
It reminded Tsuna of Hibari-sempai. He half expected Aimee to whip out a pair of ghostly tonfas.
WHACK!
Instead, she hit him on the head with a very strong ruler.
"I see that I will also have to teach you to pay attention when someone is speaking to you. I will be teaching you the same way my grandma tutored me, with discipline and thoroughness." The ghostly nine-year-old said sternly. "I want you to go get your homework and set it on my desk, so I can see what you are studying in class. Then I will make you a worksheet for each subject, one that I will work with you on." Aimee told her new student.
Aimee soon found that Tsuna had a hard time learning new things and had horrible concentration. She remembered the name and number of the doctor that her grandma told her to call in case something happened to the elderly woman.
So, Aimee found herself facing a mirror in the living room of the Sawada household with Nana seated next to her on a comfy cushion.
"Nana-nee, I think something might be wrong with Tsu-kun. I remember that there were some kids that had to take special classes because they had the same problems as Tsu-kun when it came to learning. Grandma gave me the name and number of a special doctor to call if I ever needed to. I think he might be able to help Tsu-kun. Best case scenario Tsu-kun might just need glasses." The girl told the woman.
"Ara, do you think so, Aimee-chan? Okay. Give me his number." Nana told the girl as she stood up.
In Italy a man was walking down a busy venetian street. His phone rang out of the blue. He looked at the caller ID, but didn't recognize it. He felt the need to answer it, though.
"Trident Shamal, who is this?"
"Hello, this is Nana Sawada, A friend of mine gave me this number. I was hoping you can take a look at my son, Tsunayoshi." A woman said in heavily accented Italian.
"Sawada? Are you perhaps related to Iemitsu Sawada?"
"Ara? Yes, he is my husband. Like I said I am worried about Tsuna and a friend gave me your name and number, Shamal-san." Nana told him.
"What's your Friend's name, Sawada-san?" Shamal asked his associate's wife. There was a slight pause.
"… Adelaide Blanc."
Shamal felt his blood run cold.
"I'll be there as soon as possible."
Aimee stayed away from the mirrors around the house when Shamal did hid examination of Tsuna. She did not know if the mirror thing worked with everyone or not, but she did not want to risk it.
The doctor seemed surprised at what he found. After a few minutes, he sighed.
"Sawada-an, how much do you know about the work your husband does?" he asked the woman.
"I only know that he does something that is potentially dangerous and is not entirely legal, if the guns he has hidden around the house is anything to go by." She answered truthfully.
"I see. Well, miss, your husband may have brought someone home and then your son started having issues?" he asked her.
"Yes he did, his boss to be exact." She said while thinking.
"His boss is the cause of your son's problems. He must have did something to your son that caused him to be this way. It is treatable, your son will have to take special medication until he is thirteen, though." Shamal told the woman.
He had probed the boy with his secondary sun flames and found the seal on the boy's Sky Flames, he also noticed a secondary flame type that just orbited the sealed Sky flames and was most likely the cause of the abnormal eyes of Tsuna. He felt bad for the kid and decided to help him. The Bovino family had created special pills that slowly unsealed flames.
He also noticed that the boy needed glasses. "You son also needs glasses. I will be staying here for a while, so I can help you with getting everything he needs, Sawada-san."
"Thank you, Shamal-san." The woman said in true appreciation.
Once Tsuna started taking the medication and got his glasses, his concentration, and learning ability started going up, much to Aimee's relief.
There is Chapter two. It was a pain to type!
