Chapter 5: household of hell

After crying on his maths and art teachers shoulder for a few hours, he pulled away. His eyes were red from the crying and his cheeks were red from the embarrassing of being held by his teacher and from the fever. After getting out of the hold, Tsunayoshi went to his bag, put on his tie, school jacket, and took his bag.

"Thank you sir for your help but I have to go" said Tsunayoshi as he went for the door, as he was about to leave stunned teacher behind he turn around and in a voice with no emotions said "I would like if you wouldn't get involved. This isn't your problem its mine." And he left quicker than the teacher could grab him. After he left the teacher in the nurse's office, he starts to run home. He looked at the watch on his left hand. The time was 5pm his father will be back around 6pm so he had an hour to get home, cook dinner, clean the house and disappear to his room.

He didn't want to displease his father; after all he has gotten the first-hand experience at how he is when he is angry. After 10 minutes, he got home. As he saw the front of his house, his father's car was outside. Which meant one thing, he is home early and he is pissed off at him for being late to get home from school. He went up the door, took out the house key and unlock the door. Before he went in, he took a deep breath, and turned his emotions down and opened the door. What greeted him was normal. Now it was not his mother's or father's with a warm smile or anything like that, not after her dead. Dear lord no. it was with a kick to his side. He didn't need to look at who kicked him, he knew from whom the kick came from.

"Where the hell were you, brat! I'm hungry. So start cooking dinner or I'll beat the crap out of you, just like last night." Said Iemitsu. Tsunayoshi just nodded and ran to the kitchen and started to make dinner.

Iemitsu was tall and muscular; he had blond hair and a small beard. Before Nana dead, he was known for rarely being home and when he was home, he would drink until he passed out. However, after Nana's dead he quit his job and started to live with Tsuna again. The first few months were okay, a bit rough around the edges, but what family is not. On the third month, everything changed, one day Tsuna was coming back from school, but he was a bit late because the teacher asked him to stay behind and help around the library a bit. When he got home, he was greeted with a fist coming towards him but he quickly dodged. Nevertheless, that wasn't enough. Next was a kick and that one hit the target, his stomach. The pain was so bad but it couldn't compare to the pain he felt was punches and kicks kept coming. It finished after an hour. By then Tsuna lost consciences. That's how his life been since then.

Now, back to the present. As Tsuna was cooking dinner, he was thinking back to his conversation he had with his teacher in the nurse's office. He was so lost in thought he didn't notice his father coming towards him. Since he was lost in thought, his body as working automatically. He was brought out of his thought by the shout of his name. He turned to look at the right and saw his father standing there.

"Is there something I can do for you, father" Tsuna asked with a voice of n emotions. Like always when he was home. Iemitsu did say anything but looked at him. Tsuna thought that he won't do anything so he went back to cooking dinner. But he was wrong as soon as Tsuna turned back to get back to cooking, Iemitsu graphed Tsuna's hand and placed his hand close to the stove where dinner was cooking. Tsuna knew that he done something wrong.

"I got a call from your school earlier today, do you know why?" asked Iemitsu. Tsuna shook his head. "It seems you got yourself in the nurse office after passing out in front of one of your teacher's offices. Now I have a question to you, and want the truth and nothing but the truth or I'm going to burn your hand until you can't move them. Do you understand, you brat?" asked Iemitsu.

"Yes sir, I understand" Tsuna answered immediately.

"They said that a teacher styed till you woke up is that true?" asked Iemitsu.

"yes sir, it's true" answered Tsuna, who by know was scared out of his mind, in this household fear was normal for him to feel but this time he wasn't scared for himself he was scared because he didn't like where the questions were heading and also scared for his new teacher.

"Did you speak to him?" asked Iemitsu.

"No sir" answered Tsuna. It was one of the rules he had to follow, 'do not talk to anyone, unless to answer a question in class'. But Tsuna's answer wasn't believable enough, so he put Tsuna's hand against a hot stove. Tsuna screamed in pain. After a few seconds, Iemitsu let go of his hand and left.

"Don't bother finishing making dinner. I'm going out tonight." Said Iemitsu as he went to the door. Before he left, he turned around and looked at Tsuna "I want the house cleaned and you gone before I come back." And with that, he shut the door.

Tsuna cried for an hour, until he stud up and went to the bathroom to clean and wrap his burn. After that, he cleaned the house while in pain. With him finished everything he went to his bedroom to do his homework. He finished everything quick and went to bed, to cry himself to sleep from the pain and the missing of his mother.

Life is horrible, isn't it?
