Vongola's Grandson

Inspired by Nurarihyonn no Mago. Sawada Tsunayoshi was deprived of his parents in an assassination which he narrowly escaped at the age of five. Timoteo,the ninth boss of Vongola, the most feared and powerful mafia in Italy in its decline, decided to adopt him as his grandson and successor. However, it seems that Tsunayoshi always denied his role as he cannot accept the evil and underground activities of the mafia. What is Vongola's future going to be? No pairings. Less-no-good-in-his-youth and slightly spoiled Tsuna! Warning : AU and OCC-ness.


Chapter 2
Tsuna and the Mochida's bullet club

On the surface, Sawada Tsunayoshi was a mediocre to no-good student, seemingly not athletic, stupid and clumsy.

If one were to say that he was the successor of the legendary Vongola, no one would believe it.

Well, in fact, that was what he intended to turn out. He tried to put on several dame acts to hide the fact that he was related to mafia as much as possible.

He became the victim of all forms of bullying and battery. Today, he was beaten up in front of his locker upon arriving school.

"Dame-Tsuna, you are in the way!," the bully barked and walked away.
Could Tsuna have fought them if he had really tried to, you ask? Yes, but he had to put on his dame façade in order to be regarded as an 'ordinary moral citizen.'

"Tsuna-kun! Are you alright?," his childhood friend Sasagawa Kyoko spotted him and immediately offered a hand for him to stand up.
"Thanks, I'm fine."
"You should go to the first-aid room."
"Will do."
Kyoko talked no more, thinking of something. Then she said," Tsuna-kun, you really have problem with bullying. Remember, you have onii-chan and me.. and— the teachers! You can always tell us! We are here to help you!"
Oh, yes, the Sasagawa siblings were in the anti-bullying project, Tsuna thought and politely refused "No, thanks, I can manage."

Tsuna was in his eight grade, Room A, with Kyoko and Moshida. As Tsuna and Kyoko reached their room, Moshida was sitting on the teacher's desk showing off his knowledge.
"And, as a result, it can be concluded that the legendary mafia family, the Vongola, does exist!"he announced to Tsuna's greatest fright.
The supposedly timid and clumsy Tsuna suddenly spoke up to counter this argument, "N-no, that can't be true! No such m-mafia could exist! Besides, I remember you saying Vongola was only a legend in your primary school!"
That drew the class's attention for a while before Moshida continued, "Yes, but people change their mind from time to time. Because I was once saved and saw the successor to Vongola, Vongola Decimo before... I was awe-struck."
"But, Moshida-kun, we didn't see anything in the smoke then," Kyoko corrected him.
Moshida, embarrassed by this, changed the topic," Mafia is an essential part of the Italian culture and needed to be studied."
Moshida, blessed with a gift of gab and respect from his classmates, managed to persuade the entire class.
Tsuna could not believe his ear. How could a man change his view so drastically overnight?
"A—Anyway, Vongola is just a l-legend," Tsuna repeated with his real identity at stake.
"If you are that sure, why don't join our Moshida's bullet club, devoted to finding the existence of Vongola family. I dare you to prove us that Vongola doesn't exist!," Moshida dared him.
Oh no, this is bad. Reborn is gonna kill me, thought Tsuna, But, wait if I join them, I can divert their attention and still keep my identity secret.
So, the so-called Dame-Tsuna accepted the challenge, shocking everyone.

"Good! Who else want to join us!?" Moshida continued with his recruitment.
"Sounds interesting, and if Tsuna-kun join, so will I!," Kyoko said blissfully.
She barely thought about the dangers involved!, Tsuna said mentally.
Most classmates were agitated; no one in their sense would like to get involved with the mafia. These Italians only wondered if all Japanese are insane.
And their assumption seemed to be proved right as the new transfer student from Japan, Miura Haru, stepped up and said,"How interesting. Great! I will join as well."
Miura Haru, the daughter of the supreme director of Japan's law enforcement police and a former CIA, was in a training to trace Italian mafias, particularly the most influential Vongola.
That really gave Tsuna a headache.
"This would be of great help to my training"
Suddenly, Kyoko took Ryohei and Hana to the classroom.
"Moshida-kun, Hana-chan and onii-chan said they would like to join as well!"
"Welcome, then"
"I would like to thank the guy who saved me to the extreme," shouted Ryohei.
"Same here, but not 'to the extreme,'"said Hana.

That was the most shocking part for Tsuna yet. He almost wished he were dead when...
Girls in the class started whispering excitedly.
A silver-haired teen and a black-haired teen came in and greeted him enthusiastically with "Judaime!"
"G-Gokudera-kun. Yama— W-wait! Why are you guys HERE? You are supposed to be at the ma—house!"
"To deliver you this lunch box..."
Tsuna approached him and whispered, " how did you get that uniform!?"
Gokudera made an innocent, puppy-like face and stuttered,"The truth is... since that incident, we have been ensuring your safety from distance. We went to the same primary school as well, but in different classes!"
Tsuna almost fainted, but Moshida asked the two newcomers," Hey, are you friends of Sawada? Why don't join the Moshida's bullet club as well.
The delinquent known for his grumpiness, Gokudera Hayato, was pissed by the interruption of his conversation with his dear Judaime, and pulled Moshida's collar "Shut up! Any problems with Judaime!?"
"W—Wait, I just asked seeing that Sawada is joining us as well."
Gokudera immediately let off the collar and asked his tenth," Is that true, Judaime"
"Y-Yeah"
"Then I will join your club! Wherever Judaime went, so did Gokudera!"
"Ha-ha, same here," Yamamoto added.
Tsuna almost had his migraine attack.
"Great! Eight members! We will have an inauguration ceremony at Sawada's," Moshida proclaimed
"What!?," our poor Tsuna cried.
"Rumour goes that you are somehow related to the Vongola. Wouldn't it be a great idea to launch our club there?"
No, launching a club tracking down Vongola at the main Vongola headquarter!? Oh, my identity would be at risk, thought Tsuna.
"Sound interesting," someone said in a squeaky voice.
Everyone turned towards the voice only to find an infant in black suit and fedora.
"Ciaossu!"
"Reborn-san!,"exclaimed Gokudera.
"Ciao," greeted Yamamoto cheerfully.
By then, Tsuna had already fainted. But, then, Reborn did not have leniency in his teaching philosophy, and pathetic fainting was not allowed. Poor Tsuna was kicked back to consciousness.
"Ouch! Why are you here?"
"To supervise my student's progress, of course."

Haru started to scream maniacally and ran to the baby. "What a cute boy! Can I hug you?," she asked nervously.
So she has a soft spot for babies,huh?, thought Tsuna.
Reborn replied with an innocent, taintless face, "No, you can't"
"Why?" cried Haru in disappointment.
"'cuz I'm a mafiaso!"

Silence...
And all of sudden Sawada Tsunayoshi was punched.
"What the—"
"How dare you contaminate a pure, naïve mind of an infant!"
"What!?," Tsuna pointed at Reborn "It was his fault! I didn't teach him anything immoral! It's his nature!"
Haru was going to punch again but stopped by Gokudera. They almost put up a fight but were luckily stopped by a homeroom teacher.

After school, Tsuna found himself with the club on the way to his own mansion.
'This is all Reborn's fault,' pondered Tsuna.
"Do you find a way to hide our secret, Judaime?," whispered Gokudera.
"It's alright. I have everything arranged for you," Reborn answered in place of Tsuna.
"Whenever you say that, everything all ends in a disaster," Tsuna complained almost silently and was kicked.

In a nutshell, the visit if the Moshida's bullet club turned out to be a near disaster with Tsuna's identity almost exposed. Reborn did help organise a tour around the house to avoid the secret meetings or anything directly associated with the mafia, but Tsuna was still obliged to explain a revelation of his financial status and respectful salutes from maids, butlers and many men in black suit.
"I-I was just adopted by a very wealthy family, that's all! But I'm not his real son, so I myself is not that rich, ha-ha," Tsuna tittered nervously.

Having known Tsuna had his visitors, the ninth came down to welcome the kids himself, again threatening Tsuna's identity.
Yet, his appearance if a senile, kind gentleman totally convinced the children that he was not related to the mafia in any way, well, at least except the suspicious Haru.
"I hear that the ninth Vongola looks like a harmless old man in his retirement...," she stated suspiciously.
"N-Never heard of that!," rejected Tsuna.
After hellish hours of putting his life on a line, the group could be finally sent home.
Yamamoto and Gokudera stayed at the mansion, pretending to have study sessions with Tsuna. Mochida and Hana took train home together while Ryohei and Kypko accompanied Haru home.
"I hear you are brought up in Japan. It must be hard adapting to life here," Kyoko said understandingly. Her family is Japanese expatriates after all.
"Not really. Actually, I have a good time. There are far more criminal activities here, so I get more training," Haru replied indifferently.
"Oh—really?"
Suddenly, a group of dangerous-looking man approached them.
"Stop, Kyoko-chan," Haru warned and got into a defensive stance.
"Calm down, ladies. You are the tenth's acquaintances, aren't you?," a man who seemed to be the leader said.
