Tsukuyomi Sawada
Chapter 6: The Sandman
The sandman hates me.
Here I am in my room in the middle of the night, fixing up my stuff the way I like it. The maids arranged the books merely alphabetically, not break them down into groups and then alphabetically. That took me a good two hours because the books were much bigger(and not to mention thicker) than I was. Thankfully, the bookshelf was on the wide side instead of the tall one, making it easier for me to reach. However, after all that work, I still wasn't sleepy, so I decided to look out the window. You know those windows that extend outward and have this cushioned area occupying the space the extension opened up? Yeah, I had to crawl up there before I could look out. Not that I minded, but it was too much work.
I reached out and opened one side of the window. Immediately, the wind struck me in the face and almost sent me tumbling over. Almost. I had managed to get a good grip on the pane before it could. When the wind settled down a bit, I was able to look out properly. My room was facing what seemed to be a forest and above it, the moon was shining in all its full glory. I've always loved the moon, it somehow managed to always give me a feeling of peace. And now, I don't if it's the change in location, but it seemed so much more beautiful than usual. I closed my eyes for a while, letting the wind blow in my face and taking in the scent of the forest while only allowing the image of the moon to be seen in my mind.
I yawned for the first time that evening.
It began getting real cold around then, so I got up and shut the window. Now, I would've gone back to trying to sleep, but I was wide awake again.
I sighed. I might as well go take a walk.

Somehow, I managed to get lost.
Okay, there's no 'somehow' about it, but damn this place was like a maze. Luckily for me, there was a big ol' grandfather's clock that could be found every now and then. Right now, this one's telling me that it's already 2 in the morning. I was sent off to bed 7 hours ago and I'm not even half-asleep yet. Lovely. Now what?
Well, finding my room would be a thing.
Psh, who am I kidding? I'm in the Vongola mansion in the middle of the night! The possibilities are endless!
And so are the odds of getting killed.
… Which way did I come from again?
~ [Katekyo Hitman Reborn] ~
I am now very tired and have no clue of where my room is or where I was. Just whose idea was it to make this place so huge anyway?! Why do rich people always feel the need to flaunt their money by putting up these luxurious houses?! Do they not realise how inconvenient that is for guests?! Hell, if everyone who was rich got together, there would probably be a competition of who had the gaudiest mansion! And I'd be the very first hater of it due to this traumatising experience!
Taking a deep breath, I turned to the next corner and scanned it just in case some crazy psycho was in there so I wouldn't die. The only weapon I had on me right was Iemitsu's lighter, so it was pretty much impossible for me to defend myself. Yeah, I didn't think to bring my entire backpack just because it would be an inconvenience to carry around.
You know what I found in this hallway? A giant, gaping hole in the wall leading to one of the rooms. I wonder who pissed Xanxus off…
I stifled a yawn. What time was it now? 4 AM? That sounded about right. I need to work out the time difference between here… here and… Japan...
That floor looks really… comfy, doesn't it?
~ [Katekyo Hitman Reborn] ~
When I came to, I was in the kitchen. I've no clue how I got here, but I was here. And since I was here, I decided to help myself to the fridge. And let me just tell you, there are three fridges here. Yes, three different fridges. So I sat down, taking a slice of Black Forest Cake with me to the kitchen counter which I had to climb up on. It was fairly easy thanks to the tank of gas in the corner.
There was also a clock in here, and right now it told me that the time was 4:48. Tick, tick, tick.
I yawned. For however long I was out, it wasn't enough. I still feel a bit airheaded.
Just as I was about to shove chocolate in my face, the double doors flew open to reveal two boys. One had short, silver hair and wore a black leather jacket over a white shirt, matching leather pants, low combat boots and a pair of gloves while the other one on the other hand had his hair chopped at neck length with his fringe dyed green and orange. He was wearing a light blue plaid shirt, a pair of skinny jeans, high-cut Converse shoes, a pair of fingerless gloves and orange-framed sunglasses. Needles to say, they both looked fabulous. Especially the second one.
"Who do you think you are eating through the Vongola's food?!" Leather yelled at me. I shrugged and continued eating. "VOI, don't ignore me!"
I swallowed. "I think I am Tsukuyomi Sawada, 25 months old, spreader of Fanta-ism and epically awesome. You?"
"VOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIII!"
"Oh, hush now, you'll wake up the entire mansion," Fabulous told Leather off before turning to me. "Did you say you're Tsukuyomi?" I nodded. "Well, Tsukuyomi we'd like to know how you got in here. You see… this place is very highly guarded so it's not possible for a child like yourself to just wander in."
I took another bite off my cake. "I live here now."
"NO, YOU DON'T!"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"I live here now," I repeated. "My daddy brought me and Mama here so he doesn't have to be away from us while he worked." Blegh, I sound so innocent.
Fabulous smiled. "And who's your father?"
"Iemitsu Sawada."
They both froze.
"I-I see…" Fabulous cleared his throat. "Well, I'm Lussuria and the loud one is Squalo."
"I can speak for myself, you faggot!"
I dropped my cake.
What?
What?!
What.
B-but! Squalo has short hair! And Luss sounds sane! This is not right! Something is wrong here! I'm dreaming! Yup, that's it. The Sandman's playing tricks on me! Haha, very funny…
…
…
…
Oh, fuck me.
"It's nice to meet you," No, I am fucking traumatised as fuck.
Another smile. "You're so cute! How old did you say you were?"
"25 months." Someone stop me.
Jawdrop. "Oh, wow… You're such a prodigy, aren't you?"
"No," please stop me. "I am epically awesome."
"Yes, yes you… are? What are you doing?"
I screamed in complete and utter panic and terror.
"VOOOIII! That kid's taking out a lighter!"
"No, stop!"
I was pulled away from the counter, making me drop the lighter I was holding.
KABOOM!
I coughed as I cried. Why am I crying?
I was probably going to die. I had to do it.
"Are you okay?"
"VOOOOIIIII! That brat is more trouble than she's worth!"
Huh?
I looked up and saw Lussuria smiling down at me. He turned to snap at Squalo. "Can't you see she's scared?!"
"Like hell if I care! She exploded the kitchen!"
I did what?
Why?
"What's going on?!"
That sounded like Nono. What's Nono doing here?
"YOMI!"
That was Iemitsu.
"Trash, what happened here?"
Squalo stood up and pointed at me. "That brat exploded the damn kitchen a lighter! Who gives a kid a lighter?!"
"I never gave her a lighter!"
I'm dead.
"Where did she get it from then?!"
"Are you implying she stole from me?!"
"What else?!"
"My daughter is not a thief!"
"That's enough," came Nono's authorative voice. He knelt before me. "Did you do this?"
"I… I don't know…"
"'I DON'T KNOW' MY ASS!"
"Enough, Superbi." He turned to me again. "Are you alrght?"
I nodded.
He smiled and ruffled my already dishevelled hair before getting up turning to Iemitsu. "Come with me to my office."
Iemitsu looked at me and then at Nono before nodding. Nono smiled and left, leaving Xanxus behind with us. He was staring me down.
I don't know why, but I ran.
I ran like bloody hell.
~ [Katekyo Hitman Reborn] ~
Iemitsu was baffled.
Why?
His daughter, his sweet perfect little moon had his lighter. His lighter. When and how did she get that?
Ever since they were on the plane, he had this nagging feeling at the back of his head that told him something was off, but he pushed it aside. There was just no time for that. He had only noticed that his lighter was missing when he went for a walk after dinner and wanted to smoke and it wasn't there, so he assumed he just left it in the room. Oh, but the voice would not shut up. He refused to believe anything it told him because it would continually blame his innocent daughter for it.
He slumped on one of the chairs in the room.
There were questions he wanted to ask her, but how was he going to approach her? His eyes travelled to Nono who was taking his seat behind the desk and was giving him a certain look. He knew what was coming up.
Iemitsu sighed. It was all so stressful. But if his suspicions were correct, he'd have to push his questions aside for later and work on ways to fulfil the Ninth's wishes. He was sure his daughter could hold out for a bit longer.
After all, she was an epically awesome prodigy.
~ [Katekyo Hitman Reborn] ~
Somehow, I ended up in my room.
Once again, I was situated at the cushioned space curled up in the fetal position with the windows open.
What did I do?
I damned myself, that's what.
I closed my eyes, tired.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I feel asleep
Mr. Sandman,
Dream me a dream.
So... this chapter is relatively short...
Gimme a break my head has been hit several times throughout the course of the past few weeks.
I shit you not.
2 volleyballs, several shuttlecocks, table tennis balls, and bloody badminton racket for crying out loud!
So, yeah... this chapter sucks balls and I will forgive you if hate me.

Discoabc: I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS SUCKY CHAPTER!
I never experienced those joys either... Damn Yomi, being so lucky. (Also, awesomely epic? I see what you did there XP)
LOL! *imagines a trolling Primo* Primo is God. Do not question Him. I'll be looking forward to that fanart X3
*sniffs too* Yomi, you are going to be a great boss after I get my writing skills back. DO NOT WORRY.
I actually don't know if those bombs will work. In the original draft for this chapter, she uses them against Squalo who find her eating at 2 in the morning. XD
Or... She could not be a big fan of Bel. I mean, the guy's worshipped in a toilet of all places!
Oh, don't worry dear... I have planned that far ahead. I just need fillers.
GET WELL SOON!
