Title: The Welcoming Sky
Pairings: None(there will be a poll later, and it's highly unlikely)
Summary: Tsubasa and Tsunayoshi are twin brothers that have been separated due to the mafia. Tsubasa was raised and trained to be Vongola's Decimo, while Tsunayoshi has led the life of a normal, below-average teenager. So why is Dame-Tsuna able to have a sort of control over Tsubasa's guardians.
There was once a magical-
"Tsunayoshi-kun, I don't want a fairytale tonight!" Byakuran complained at the studying brunet.
Tsuna flipped the page to his math book, and thought for few moments. Before a smile finally graced his lips, and he nodded to himself. Byakuran watched the weird change in expression with question, but otherwise remained silent.
"Okay, I'll tell you a legend, and no legends and fairytales are not the same. I don't really remember this legend that well, so it might not be as accurate as I would like it to be." Tsuna explained to the younger.
His response was a defeated sigh before Byakuran allowed the older to continue.
Long ago when everything was surrounded by Darkness, the Sky was void of everything. In this Darkness the Sky was lonely, and all it would, could, do was watch the Earth that lay asleep below it. For a long time this continued, but the Supreme Power that had created the Darkness saw the lonely Sky. The Sky that was so lonely, but kind as it looked tenderly at the Earth.
Seeing that the Darkness was slowly consuming everything else, this Power finally gave light; in the form of a Sun. However, this Sun was still too young, and therefore too weak to go against the Darkness. Remembering the Sky that was alone, but nurturing, the power left the Sun in the Sky's care. Living under the Sky's protection, the Sun began to brighten each day and soon became very strong and energetic.
When the Sun was ready to take on the Darkness, it left the Sky for a time known as the eclipse. During these battles between the sun and moon, the moon representing the Darkness, the light would always prevail. That is why during an actual eclipse the moon is the first to leave. Once the Sun had defeated the Darkness, it returned to the Sky that had given it a home.
However in the absence of the Sun, Clouds were formed to protect the Sky from the Darkness that wanted revenge. The Cloud was aloof, and yet menacing, but when the Sky offered it a home, the Cloud offered its protection in return. For the Cloud hated owing a debt to anything and anyone.
With the Cloud came the Storm and Lightening. When the Cloud was to busy shielding the Sky, the Storm would go into direct confrontation with the enemy. For the Sky, the Storm would rage on. The Lightening was loud and bright, and in times of danger it was the first to catch sight of the foe; therefore it was in charge of not only warning the other guardians, but also warning the sky.
The combination of both Lightening and Storm helped create another, the Rain. As said before, the Sky was loving, and although it understood the need for destruction it hated the sight of it. Seeing this the Rain washed away all the devastation that was created during every conflict.
No longer alone the Sky was overjoyed. However, there was one more that had yet to be introduced. From the Darkness it was created to haunt, but to shield away, the Mist was formed. All the other attributes were wary of this new element, all except the Sky. With open arms the Sky excepted the deceiving, but slightly good-willed Mist into its home.
That was the true purpose of the Sky, to be open and accepting of everything no matter what has happened in the past. However, while the Sky was tending to the guardians, for they truly acted as his guardians, it had neglected the Earth that had awaken.
Tsuna closed his math book after reading the rules and formulas, which he somewhat understood better than when Ichigo-Sensei had taught it, and turned to his albino student. Byakuran's eyes were already drooping, and seeing this as a good sign, Tsuna mentally cheered.
"Good night Byakuran." Tsuna whispered once his student had finally gave in to the mysterious entity known as Dreams, and stood up from the chair.
He walked out the large bedroom, and headed towards the guestroom that he had always occupied. Upon reaching his destination, Tsuna took out a computer and rebooted it. There was still some research he still needed to do before he went to sleep.
***Break***
The morning was still very early when Tsuna woke up. Seeing as he wouldn't fall back to sleep, he got up from the bed, and began his morning routine. Downstairs he could already hear the maids and butlers coming in for the day, and so the teenage brunet saw no reason to stay that morning. Although the butlers and maids feared their young master, they would still force him to eat a plentiful breakfast.
Putting all his belongings back in his pack, Tsuna walked out into the hallways and waved 'good-byes' to any of the staff workers that walked past him. They regarded him with familiarity before resuming their own work. Checking his watch Tsuna saw that it was already 5:15. It would take him thirty minutes to walk back home, and he still needed to help his mother make the growing numbers of bentos, so Tsuna quickly raced outside. Tripping only once when he was rushing downstairs.
Tsuna jogged back home for only fifteen minutes before stopping to catch his breath. Once his heartbeat was no longer racing, he looked around the area he was currently in. He was close to Namimori High, and only needed to walk the last mile away from his home. Having made good time, Tsuna peacefully enjoys the quietness of Namimori.
Before long he made it back home, and opened the door with his spare key. Tsubasa needs a key as well, Tsuna thought to himself before walking into the hallway.
"Tadaima." Tsuna whispered before heading towards the kitchen.
His mother was probably still asleep, and Tsuna honestly didn't know when Tsubasa would wake up, so he began to prepare breakfast. It wasn't until 15 minutes later that Nana came downstairs to help her Tsuna-kun. Already the eggs were prepared, and Tsuna was in the process of making fresh dough for the croissants. Nana stifled a small giggle at the sight of her cute little Tsuna-kun, and took her place in the kitchen. While Tsuna was making the croissants, she began to prepare two bentos for both of her sons.
Once all the food preparations were finished and done, the two sat down in their respective seat, and began their breakfast; Reborn had warned them the previous day that Tsubasa might be a little late. Tsuna was sipping at his orange juice when Tsubasa came in the kitchen through the front door, with an amused Reborn on his shoulder. Tsubasa dragged his feet to his own chair and slumped down; the younger twin was sweating and physically exhausted.
When his breakfast was given to him, he ravenously ate it, and sent suspicious looks at Reborn; almost as if he was expecting the other to take it away from him. When his eyes began to clear from the exhaustion, Tsubasa finally turned on Tsuna and asked him various questions about his activities the previous night.
Where were you? Who is this friend? You didn't go somewhere you shouldn't did you? Tsuna-nii, did that 'friend' of yours forced you to stay? Was it a male or a female? Tsuna-nii, you need to be careful!
Slightly touched by his little brother's obvious worry for him, Tsuna only smiled fondly and answered the questions to the best of his abilities. It wasn't time for Tsubasa to learn about Byakuran. Rather it was better if Reborn didn't know either, but the chances of him already knowing is high.
"Tsubasa, if we don't leave now we'll be late." Tsuna pointed out once the clock showed that it was already 7:30.
"A mafia boss should never be late." Reborn added from his side of the table, while sipping at his espresso.
Tsubasa threw a defeating glare at his tutor, before looking at his two family member's reaction. To his surprise they didn't show much care for it, but were actually talking about the sells that would be going on later that day at the food market. Once done with whatever plan that they had set up for the day, Tsuna got up and placed all his dirty dishes in the sink.
"Coming Tsubasa?" Tsuna asked; putting on his school shoes.
Tsubasa nodded before doing the same, and together the twins set off towards school.
"Neh, Tsuna-nii what do you think about a mafia boss?" Tsubasa asked.
Tsuna hummed before replying, "Does this have anything to do with the game you and Reborn-san are playing?" Tsuna asked back.
Upon the look of disappointment, but relieved, expression on his brother's face, the older twin stopped and turned to him. "Is there something wrong Tsubasa?"
Tsubasa shook his head before smiling at his brother. Then with an idea in mind, he raced ahead of his brother and shouted over his shoulder, "Last one on school grounds is a spoiled egg!"
Alarmed Tsuna began to speed up as well, "Wait! Tsubasa you're-," but it was too late, Tsubasa had already gone ahead and could no longer hear Tsuna's frantic shouting.
Deciding that he couldn't catch up to his brother's speed without it looking suspicious Tsuna stopped and released a wary sigh. "Tsubasa you idiot, your sense of directions is horrible, and you don't even know where the schools at! Oh well, maybe he'll see the school sign..." Tsuna mumbled before walking once more.
Tsuna was worried. It was already three minutes until the bell rang, but Tsubasa had yet to show up. Maybe he's in the teacher's lounge? Tsuna thought desperately, however his gut feeling told him otherwise.
Not wanting to stress himself out further, Tsuna forcefully stopped himself from thinking to much about his twin. All the other students around him were whispering to each other about the two new transfer student, and how they wished the transfer student looked like. They gossiped amongst themselves, and honestly Tsuna wanted to see their reaction once they see an almost exact copy of himself walking through those doors.
Although in all honesty the chances of the other students and teachers liking Tsubasa more than Tsuna is completely possible, and most likely to happen. He didn't fault his twin brother, but the idea still hurt.
"Tsuna-kun, who do you think the transfer students are?" The school's most popular girl asked.
Tsuna smiled at Kyoko before shaking his head.
"I don't know one student, but the other student is Tsubasa. Do you remember Tsubasa, Kyoko-chan?" Tsuna asked.
Tsubasa had gone to kindergarten with them, but had left soon after grade school started. It was for that reason that Tsuna resented his father, for separating the two. Kyoko nodded before smiling her gentle smile, and was forced away by her best friend Hana; who demanded her full attention.
"Go back to your seats everyone." Ichigo-sensei ordered once she stepped inside the classroom.
Everyone did as they were told, and waited expectantly for her to introduce the new students. Seeing this she gave an annoyed sigh, before turning to the slide doors.
"Alright you can come in now." She huffed.
Silver hair, large metal rings on almost all of his fingers, messy display of the school uniform, and the fierce scowl on his face. Tsuna thought he looked completely like a gangster... And how he exactly remembered the first time he met Gokudera Hayato.
Whispers broke out amongst his classmates. Almost all the males were intimidated by their new classmate, and the majority of the female population all commented about how handsome and foreign he was. Kyoko shot Tsuna a questioning look, before the brunet realized what she meant. Where was Tsubasa? Oh god, Tsubasa really did get lost.
With a mental groan, Tsuna wondered how his brother could of possibly gotten lost; all he had to do was go straight, and look for the school sign that said Namimori High School! While Tsuna was having a small mental breakdown, he didn't notice the way Gokudera looked at him in surprise and then a harsher scowl was in place.
"Gokudera you will be sitting next to Yamamoto Takeshi, Yamamoto raise your hand." Ichigo-sensei instructed.
However, the silverette ignored his new homeroom, and math, teacher and headed towards the boy that had his boss's face. Since Tsuna was too deep in thought he didn't notice the advancing Italian, and was quite surprised when he was roughly kicked over and out of his desk.
"HHHIEEEE!" Came the signature screech that came from 'Dame-Tsuna'.
The rest of the classroom stared in surprise by the sudden act of violence, while the taller boy stood over the fallen teen. With an accusing finger, he pointed at Tsuna and glared at him.
"You! How dare you have Juudaime's face!" Gokudera demanded angrily, before he was stopped by the still shocked teacher.
"Gokudera! T-that's enough! P-please go to your a-assigned seat!" Ichigo-sensei shakily demanded.
Annoyed by the interruption, Gokudera glared at her before relenting and storming to his seat. For the remainder of the morning classes there were whispers, and Tsuna could feel a glare directed at him; which he was honestly hurt by. Not to mention Tsubasa has yet to make an appearance!
Before Tsuna realized it, it was already lunch time. He pulled out his bento, and was about to eat the lunch that he helped prepared, but was stopped by the bomber; who roughly grabbed ahold of his left arm and forced him up to the rooftop. Of course this action caught a lot of attention, and even some of the other classmates wept in pity for 'Dame-Tsuna' because he was actually a kind, if useless, person.
Once they were away from prying eyes, Gokudera shoved the brunet far away from him and pulled out some dynamites.
"You who dare to wear Juudaime's face will be blown to bits by my Double Bombs!"
With that said he threw the dynamites at Tsuna, who hurriedly distinguished them. "Gokudera-san! The Disciplinary Team do not allow fireworks on school grown!" Tsuna chided, before blowing at his burnt hands.
An agitated look crossed Gokudera's face before he began to throw more bombs at the brunet. Just as before Tsuna hurriedly, and clumsily, distinguished the flames and was rewarded with more burns. It wasn't until Gokudera yelled out "Triple Bombs" twice that it fell apart and scattered all over the floor. Seeing this the bomber was surprised, and slightly panicked. Just before he could do anything however Tsuna immediately grabbed ahold of all the flames and diminished them at top speed.
The brunet's hand was now red from the burning blisters, but chided the gangster looking youth. "Gokudera-san, I don't know what I did to you, but I'm sorry. But please try to be more careful next time or-" Tsuna stopped once he realized the way the bomber was looking at him... Almost like an adoring puppy.
"You... Even though I attacked you first, you still saved me. An enemy. You are truly as kind as Juudaime! Please accept my apology, and servitude as repayment." Gokudera bowed in an ashamed, and dramatic manner.
Tsuna sweat dropped before shaking his head, "Um, Gokudera-kun you can just be my friend instead of this 'servitude' thing." Tsuna said; waiting for an answer.
Before he was denied, but maybe this time... Gokudera looked at him in horrified hope, but before he could answer the door to the rooftop slammed open, and Tsubasa stumbled out. When he saw the bizarre scene before him he stiffened, and turned to Tsuna.
"Um, Tsuna-nii-"
"You are Juudaime's older brother!" Gokudera exclaimed before bowing profusely, and shouting out words of apologies.
Taking the safe route Tsuna gave a shaky smile and a soft chuckle, "Tsubasa, is this person your friend? He is very strange."
"Y-yeah, this is Gokudera. He's been my friend since childhood, you know after I left for Italy." Tsubasa answered.
"Really? Then thank you for taking care of Tsubasa, and please continue to do so." Tsuna said to Gokudera with a wide smile.
Gokudera could only nod dumbly; awed by this person who looked so much like his Juudaime. Tsubasa gave a relieved sigh before turning to Gokudera, "Neh, Hayato what are you doing in Namimori?" Tsubasa asked, curious.
"Oh! Reborn-san called me, and told me to come here as your right-hand man!" Gokudera replied enthusiastically.
Seeing this Tsuna only gave a small smile. How nostalgic, thought Tsuna. However he quickly looked at his watch and widened his eyes.
"Ah! Gokudera-kun, you need to eat lunch before lunch time ends. Tsubasa have you eaten lunch yet?" Tsuna asked; whipping his head from the storm guardian to his little brother.
Tsubasa nodded while Gokudera was amazed, once again, that this stranger was looking after for his well-being when he had just attacked the other earlier. Seeing the expectant look in Tsuna's eyes, he quickly nodded before heading back downstairs to retrieve both his lunch and Tsuna's.
"So, where were you this morning, Tsubasa?" Tsuna asked calmly; he had not forgotten all the worry his little brother had put him through that morning.
AN: Aw, thanks for giving me some ideas about the pairings. Actually I have made a poll on my account, so you guys can go ahead and vote for any pairing(s) you want. Also if there are still some of you who wants to make a recommendation on the pairings just tell me, and I'll add it into the poll. Well this has been a long chapter, and Gokudera shows up! Yay! No? Okay, let's go on with the questions some of you reviewers gave me, by the way an extra thank you for doing that, and I'll answer your questions to the best of my abilities without giving too much away.
TripOverFlatSurfaces, you asked me whether or not Tsuna had joined the Gesso family. Yes he has, and he does know what he's gotten himself into. LaLunaLight I believe the previous answer also answers your question. 27, Tsuna is in fact trained in combat and it was also hinted somewhere in this chapter that he does have his Hyper Intuition. As for the guardians being protective of him, well we'll just have to wait and see.
Knight Yuuki, I cannot go into full details as to how they, Byakuran and Tsuna, meet because as far as Byakuran knows his father hired Tsuna. However, for Tsuna there is a much deeper meaning and reason behind why they had to meet. As for Yuni, I can honestly say that at this current time; no, but there is a reason why they haven't met and you'll see the word play later to this question and my answer later.
Thorn D. Cinni, right now Byakuran isn't going to do much to Tsuna that's going to affect him in a too negative way. Maybe rise Tsuna's blood pressure, or make him have a heart attack from shock; but again nothing too major.
Now out of all the questions, the ones that are most frequent in the last chapter was whether or not Tsuna is involved with the mafia. He is. He is well aware of the mafia, and its role in his current life. As hinted when I specifically put that Tsuna bares a grudge against his father because he separated Tsuna and Tsubasa, NOT because he was gone for the majority of his life. As seen in the manga and anime, once he learned that his father was part of the mafia Tsuna's grudge relented a little. There's also the small tidbit that he didn't question Gokudera on why he called his brother, 'Juudaime'. Also, there's Reborn. Although I said before that Tsuna knows Reborn, but the question is if he knows about the mafia I had actually accidently made a small paradox. Why? Simply because it's Reborn, and if anyone knows Reborn it's that he does not lie about something as serious as the mafia, or lies in general. All those things he tells Tsuna, including threats and any other unsavory information, were all proven true later on in the manga and anime series. Now the true question is, what is Tsuna's role in the mafia? Well thank you for reading, and please review.
