An: Sorry for the late chapter, but here you go!

please enjoy!

King Iemetsu rubbed his temples as he groaned. 'What I'm I going to do? If he finds out that Tsuna is gone.' He thought hunched over as his ongoing headache worsening. Apparently no one saw the prince left, so they have no idea how far or where he was heading to in the land. "If I send an army out to find him. Tsuna will see it and run, that will only cause an endless cycle." He groaned. He looked up and saw the Captain of the main army Colonello who smirked at him.

"I have an answer to your problem Your majesty. " He said as he kneeled to Iemetsu greeting him in a formal manner.

"Just what do you mean?" Asked the King interested in his Captain's word.

"Your answer to the finding the prince is easy. Hire someone who is used to hiding in the gutter and can blend in with common folks." Colonello answered.

"You mean hire a Street rat" Iemetsu asked in disbelief.

"Yes, sir. Listen to me, this street rat isn't like the others. I know because he has evaded arrest from my men and myself for the past year. Plus what I can tell he has a heart and doesn't do it for himself." He explained as he tried to convince the king.

"What is this Commoners name, that has brought you so much trouble?" Asked the King interested in the skill in this so called Street rat.

"Yamamoto Takeshi."

A young teen about the age of sixteen crouched over watching a merchant's stand. Raven black hair in short spikes covered his head, his brown eyes sparkled with determination. In front of him stood a mean looking merchant scanning the streets.

"Excuse me mister, Can I buy a loaf of bread and piece of cheese." asked a young boy who wore nothing but rags. He obviously was from a poor family, he held the hand of his younger sister.

"Sure. Thirty Gold pieces." Said the Merchant in a smug tone, this caused the teen's eyes to glare at the man.

"But you just sold some to that man, for twelve silver pieces." Replied the boy as he gasped at the high price.

"So. That was then, prices go up boy. Learn some economics, Thirty gold or nothing." He said smirking at the boy.

"Please. I need some food for my family I have twelve silver pieces. What can I get for this?" The boy pleaded the merchant grabbed the money and then smirked.

"Let's see. For a dirty scum for you. You can get this." Laughed the merchant as he handed him a rotten piece of fruit. The boy frowned as the merchant started to laugh like mad.

"I don't appreciate the way you talked to my friend that way." Said the teen as he got up from his spot, after saying that he gave a whistle.

"And, who do you think you are?" asked the merchant in a rude tone.

"That isn't of any importance. For twelve silver pieces, this boy gets food meant for worms. Now tell me how is that fair. " Explained the teen smiling as he got in front of the children.

"Don't tell me. How to run my business, boy" The man said getting defensive.

"Easy there. I am not trying to cause any trouble though. I think you should look over there." Suggested the teen smiling. The merchant looked to see a dog eating some of his produce.

"Hey stop that!" Yelled the Merchant pulling the dog away. When the merchant got distracted, the teen handed the children some bread and cheese.

"Go. Hurry , but shh!" He whispered. The merchant turned around to see the children run away with his goods.

"You thief. I know you now! Yamamoto Takeshi! GAURD! THIEF!" Yelled the merchant, as Yamamoto winced as he began to run from the scene.

"Well. Good job Jirou for the distraction." Thanked Yamamoto as he petted the dog from earlier. He looked behind him as he saw the guards that began to chase him. "Looks like it's time for to play a game." Yamamoto zig zaged around the market place and went into random buildings until he reached the roof of his own home. He bent down covering himself a blanket, he saw the guards running around as he smiled. "Looks like I ran a homerun." He snickered as he went through a hole in the hole. "Hey dad, how are you feeling?" as he dropped down into the living room. He looked around spotting an older version of himself, walking to him with a small hitch in his step.

"Takeshi. Where you causing trouble for the town again?" asked his father as he looked at his son, who looked away and gave a guilty whistle.

"It's not my fault. You should've seen it I was walking and this merchant was taking advantage of these poor children. I couldn't just stand there and let that happen." Defended Yamamoto as he leaned against the wall.

"I know the world is a corrupt place, but now the town sees you as a thief. I thought you wanted to go find a job. How will you do that now?" Scolded his father, this caused Yamamoto to looked down in shame.

"I will still find a way. Dad I know I can. I will earn up enough money for you." Yamamoto replyed.

"But how? No one is going to hire a thief!" Yelled his father before going into a coughing fit.

"Dad!" Yamamoto ran to his father and sat him down an stool. "Please don't strain yourself. I can do it, just watch me." He said smiling. His father shook his head but stayed quiet. Soon the sound of knocking echoed in the shack. "I will answer it." Getting up from the ground, he opened the door only to meet two large guards. He turned around to only face the captain of the guards by his father, he stopped in his track.

"Looks like I finally I caught up to you. After all these months." Said Colonello as his men handcuffed Yamamoto who struggled a bit. "Ah. Ah. Ah. We wouldn't want to make your situation worse." He said as he walked away from Yamamoto's father.

"Takeshi!" yelled his father.

"It will be okay, Dad. I will be back soon." Yamamoto smiled as he gave a natural laughter to hide his fear.

Tsuna held on the reins of the horse with dear life, after being a certain distance from the castle. He realized what he just did, and his emotions were now going crazy. Feeling anything from guilt to just feeling giddy. "I can't believe it! I did this!" He said laughing he looked around to see the trees and feel the wind. "This is amazing!" He said as he saw the trail to the village from his window. "Wait a second... I don't know how to stop this horse... I don't know how to get off!" He just realized as he gasped "HHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIII EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Green eyes dart around as owner ran though the town. 'God damn it... Shit!" the person cursed as he continued to run until he reached the bridge. Where the teen was surrounded by some thugs he moved back until his back rested against the side of the bridge. Silver bangs covered his frustration eyes as he bit his lip in anger.

"Hayato. We didn't appreciate the way you talked or how you beat our buddy." Talked one of the guys as he cracked his knuckles.

"Well. I guess that is too bad. Sorry your buddy was a whimp and can't take care of his own problems." Replayed the teen. "It's Gokudera to you losers by the way."

"Why you little bitch!" hissed the bully in anger as he raised his fist as his eyes began to be full of anger.

"You can't blame him, i mean he is an outcast. After all his mother was nothing, but a whore and his nobel of a father casted him out like nothing. Being a mix blood is hard ain't it." Laughed one of them causing all of the others to laugh.

"What did you say bastard?" Hissed Gokudera as he charged at the man and punched him square in the face. "Don't ever say anything about my mother." He warned then noticed he was outnumbered his anger got to him and now he was screwed.

"Oh you're going to regret that." Hissed the leader getting ready for the punch only to be interrupted by a "HHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE EEEEE!" They all turned to see a scared brunet charging at them at full speed at a horse.

"Look out!" Yelled the brunet, a little too late bulldozing all of the bullies, but missing Gokudera. Who stood there shocked at the turn of events.

"Did that guy just save my life?" He asked as he stood there awe struck. "Then I must go save him." Gokudera said in determination chasing after Tsuna, only taking a shortcut so he could stand in front of the horse. "Whoa there." He said shooting his hands up causing the horse to buck and stand on two hoofs. Causing Tsuna to fall the ground, he gave a grunt of pain as his bottom hit the ground. Tsuna looked around to see the horse galloping off into the distance. 'Looks, like I messed up all ready. ' he thought as he looked around, his eyes widening. The town square, the paintings of his place did it no justice. Everything looked so unreal it was too perfect to even be real.

"Excuse me. Do you need some help?" Tsuna looked up to see a silver haired teen offering his hand. Tsuna nodded taking it, so he could be lifted back to his feet.

"Thank you so much for helping me. My name is Tsunayoshi Sawada, nice to meet you." He said smiling in a friendly manner not sure if that was the right thing to do, but he was worth a shot.

"Oh no. It was the least you could do after all you saved my life. I owe you mine, I will follow you till the end of time. " Said Gokudera in a serious tone, then he looked to see the Vongola ring around Tsuna's neck. Putting two and two together , he then bowed to Tsuna. "Juudaime."

"Hie?" Tsuna's eyes widen at the gesture "'What have I gotten myself into?

"So this is the face of the thief that is causing my army such a hassle. It's surprising to see that you are so young." Stated Iemetsu looking at the handcuffed teen in his throne room, he could see that Colonello was telling the truth this boy was perfect.

"Your majesty, please I can't die." Yamamoto stated as he looked down, not wanting to insult the king.

"I know your situation. You steal only for others, a robin hood of sorts. Trying to be a hero is foolish, but you just want to find some money for your sick father. Medicine is expensive. So I have a deal for you instead of killing you. Which would be such a waste of raw talent. I want you to do me a favor and in return you will be free and get the medicine for your father." Explained Iemetsu this deal is perfect bait for someone like Yamamoto.

"What is it that I have to do?" He asked in caution tone not sure if this deal was too good to be true or just a trick. Iemetsu smirked as he knew the boy was hooked in already.

"My son, Prince Tsuna, has run away. He is the sole heir of this throne and he is important to the future of his kingdom nothing can happen to him. I want you to go find him and bring him home. Knowing him he must be lost and scared." He said in a worried tone. "I am a worried father who misses his son. Like your situation right now." Yamamoto thought about the kings words conflicted, but then realized his choice.

"I will do it. I will find the prince and bring him home." said Yamamoto 'Think of it like a game. Of sorts.' he thought. After his words were spoken, his handcuffs were unlocked.

"You will do this in secret. Tell no one, when you find the prince give him this drink. Then blow this whistle no matter where you are understand." Colonello instructed as he gave him a vial and a whistle made out of bone. "The vial will only put him to sleep. The whistle will be heard because we will always be watching."

After the two left the throne room, leaving the king alone to do his own thinking. Who looked around. "I hope that is fine." He said to the empty room.

"Kufufufu. It was just perfect. Just hope that kid can capture Tsuna, otherwise your kingdom will fall. After all we have a deal. " Soon the Mukuro came out of the shadows his mismatched eyes laugh as he saw the nervousness in the king's eyes.

"Don't worry. We will bring Tsuna back. Don't do anything hasty" Begged the king as he looked at the triton pointed at him.

"I won't. I will give you three months to find the prince and bring him to me. Otherwise I will take things into my own hands." Stated Mukuro "And we wouldn't want that. Would we. Kufufu." he laughed as he disappeared into the mist.

AN:

I hoped you liked it! Yay Introduction to more characters! I hope the whole switching scenes didn't confuse anyone. I used the line thingies to help me.

My school's Holiday break is coming up so I should be able to write more chapters faster. Also I will be doing a Christmas themed one shot! It will be most likely Tsuna and Hibari based, but I want to do something that I haven't seen many people do. Hopefully it will work out. So look at for that.

Please comment it means a lot to me. I love hearing the voice of people who enjoy my story.

Also I would like to thank my beta, I am always looking for more. PM if you are interested.

Well see you until chapter four! Bye bye!
