What do you think of the prologue? Well, I hope everyone likes it. ^^ And thanks for the review! I'm in good mood of writing and I'm currently addicted with Reborn! and Bleach, so I just though off some idea to make a crossover of them. When I finished my other fanfic, Swithced, I may make a crossover of Reborn! and Eyeshield 21.

I hope you enjoy this story!

Chapter 1: The Wounded Boy

"The snow fight was fun, wasn't it, guys?" Yamamoto asked as he walked home with Tsuna and Gokudera. "Too bad that nobody won, though…"

"Juudaime!! I'm sorry that I can't help you to win!!!" Gokudera apologized for the tenth time to Tsuna.

"It's okay, Gokudera-kun. All of us were having fun, anyway," Tsuna replied. The spiky brown-haired boy said to his friend. Tsuna himself could not comment more about the crazy snow fight. Tsuna had got too much shock in the fight, including the incident with Hibari, who unexpectedly appeared near the end. Tsuna sighed. What he wanted that time was go home and have a friendly chat with his friends. Maybe Kyoko will give him a visit. It would be enough to pay the whole shock he felt earlier.

"It's your entire fault you baseball idiot!" Gokudera blamed at his black-haired companion.

"Huh? What did I do?" Yamamoto replied naively.

Tsuna sighed again, seeing his friends arguing each other. 'Here we go again…' Tsuna thought, 'I wonder when will they stop arguing…' Tsuna turned his face from his friends to the path in front of them. Suddenly, he stopped and widened his eyes. The mafia leader-to-be quickly ran, leaving his friends behind.

"Juu, Juudaime! What's the matter with you?" Gokudera asked franticly, and then followed his boss.

"Tsuna, is there something wrong?" Yamamoto followed.

The boys managed to catch up with Tsuna and found the spiky boy was shaking something panicly. When they saw it closely, it was a body, a body of a young boy with spiky white hair lying on his chest at the side of the path. Gokudera and Yamamoto looked at each other, confused.

"Hey, are you alright there?" Tsuna asked while he shook the boy.

"Who is this guy, Juudaime? Is he that turf head? Suddenly collapsed because of unbearable exhaustion?" Gokudera snarled.

Yamamoto looked at the boy closely. "Hmm, I think he's not Sasagawa-sempai anyway…" he commented. "He's too short if you compare him with Sasagawa-sempai."

"It's not important, right now! We have to make sure if he's al…" Tsuna realized that his hand touched something wet. He raised his hand and looked at the blood on it. "HIIIIEEEE!!!!!! B-B-Bbb-BBB-BLOOD???!!!!" Tsuna exclaimed. The frantic had caught him. "Where it came from?"

Yamamoto rolled the unconscious boy's body and found a huge wound on his chest. "Oh, no. Look at this, Tsuna…"

Tsuna saw the big wound and gulped. "We… We'd better call an ambulance!!!"

"That's no use, Dame-Tsuna."

Tsuna turned around and found his little, but absolutely terrifying, hitman tutor, Reborn, was standing behind him in a blue coat. "Re-Reborn!!!"

"Don't you see that this road is so small that no car can go through this road? You really are an idiot," the baby scolded.

"Yeah, you're right, Reborn. But where should we take him?!! The hospital is far from here and I can't take him to my house either!!!"

"Then bring that boy with your dying will," Reborn gave him a short, clear answer as Leon turned into a handgun. And the baby fired the dying will bullet.

"RE-BOOOORN!!!! I'll take him to the hospital with my dying will!!!!" Small orange fire erupted from Tsuna's forehead. In seconds, all of Tsuna's clothes ripped off, leaving his boxers only. He immediately brought the white-haired boy on his shoulder and ran towards the hospital with unbelievable speed.

"Wow, Tsuna's really energetic, isn't he?" Yamamoto commented.

Gokudera twitched and glared at the baseball lover. "You really are a baseball idiot," he growled.

Ukitake Juushirou walked to the building of 1st division in hurry. The captain of 13th division's eyes clearly showed his worry and his face was wet because of cold sweat. Besides, he coughed more often than before, which made his subordinates, Kiyone and Sentarou followed him and tried to take the sick captain back to his rest.

"Tai-… Taichou!!! You should, no… You have to go back to our division and take a nice rest there!!!" Sentarou pleaded.

"He's right, taichou! Your body is getting weaker and weaker each day!!!" Kiyone supported her companion's advice. It was the first time Kiyone could agree with Sentarou.

Ukitake tried to ignore them and kept walking to soutaichou's building, where an unexpected captain meeting was waiting for him. "I'm sorry Kiyone, Sentarou, but I have to attend.. *coughs*… this meeting anyway!!" Ukitake stated without seeing Kiyone and Sentarou's faces.

"But… taichou!!!"

"This is an important matter, Kiyone!!!" The captain exclaimed, before he coughed for several times again, then leaving Kiyone and Sentarou, who were staring him leaving weakly, behind.

Kiyone looked at her captain's condition. Even though the winter war was won by Soul Society and Aizen has dead for a long time ago, there was another incident came, right after Soul Society won the war. That incident had made his captain's condition became worse and worse each day… even worse than his condition in the winter war. However, her captain still wanted to hear the latest improvement of it. Kiyone sighed.

"Now what are we going to do, Sentarou?" she asked to Sentarou.

Sentarou shrugged. "Like I know…"

--

Ukitake entered the meeting room. He found that all of the captains who participated in the Winter War were present. Well, except for someone…

"You're late, Ukitake-taichou," Yamamoto Genryuusai, the captain of 1st division yet the soutaichou, stated calmly.

"I'm sorry, soutaichou." Ukitake apologized.

Yamamoto ignored Ukitake's apologize. He looked all of the people in the room, from Soi Fong to Ukitake. "Looks like everyone has gathered here," he said. "I'm sure that all of you know what are we going to talk about."

There was no answer came from the captains, but the old man sure that all of them have in each of their minds.

"Is he okay?" Tsuna, who had worn his clothes back, asked a nurse who just came out from the room where the boy was taken care of.

The young nurse was a bit nervous first, since she knew he was talking to a boy who ran to the hospital, bringing a wounded boy, with no clothes on except a pair of blue boxers/ But, the nurse quickly replied, "He will be alright. His wound isn't deep. That boy just lost some blood and need to rest for a while."

"Thank goodness," Tsuna relieved.

The nurse let Tsuna to look at the patient and left. The boy who will be named as Vongola Decimo looked at the boy. The boy had almost the same height like Tsuna and has a spiky white hair, which was combed back, leaving a little as his 'fringe'. His face was not familiar to Tsuna, so he assumed that he was not from the neighbourhood. On the boy's left shoulder, Tsuna could see a tattoo that shaped like zero or something-the boy was wearing a white sleeveless shirt now, but that tattoo did not make any sense for Tsuna. 'I wonder who he is….' Tsuna thought to himself.

"You'd better ask that boy yourself right away."

Tsuna widened his eyes and turned his face back. He found that Reborn was near the room's door, wearing a doctor suit and a stethoscope. The brown-haired boy also found his friends at the door.

"Reborn! Yamamoto-kun! Gokudera-kun!"

Gokudera quickly approached Tsuna and bowed in front of the shorter boy. "Sorry, Juudaime! I must have made you waiting too long!!!"

"It's okay, Gokudera-kun. Nothing big happened thought," Tsuna said to the Smoking Bomb. "Anyway, Reborn, why should I do that?"

Reborn looked at his student's face. "You're the one who wanted to ask, right?"

"But… It's just…"

Reborn smiled devilishly. "Why should a mafia boss afraid to ask someone?"

"I even don't want to be a mafia boss!!!" Tsuna exclaimed, but then he shut his mouth. He hoped that his shout would not wake anyone. However, it was wrong.

--

The white-haired boy slowly opened his eyes. He could hear that someone shouted so loud that it woke him up. He blinked his eyes for several times and saw milky white ceilings. He tried to get up, but another pain disallowed him to do so. He looked as his chest, found that his wound had been bandaged.

The boy looked around. He was in a room with lots of beds in there. Looks like that was some kind of hospital or a clinic. Then, he looked to his left hand side and saw three boys were standing near him. The shortest boy with spiky brown hair smiled at him.

"Oh, you're awake! I'm really sorry about what happened earlier… My shout must have woke you up, but I swear I didin't mean to!" The boy explained.

"It's okay…" The white-haired boy replied. "Did you bring me to this place?"

"Well, actually, yes… My friends and I coincidently found you lying on the road," the other taller boy with messy black hair replied and pointed at Tsuna. "But he's the one who found you first."

"By the way, I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, you can call me Tsuna," the shortest boy said. "This is my friend, Gokudera Hayato and Yamamoto Takeshi. And this is…"

"I'm Mr. Bonco. I'm newly recruited to this hospital two weeks ago," A baby-like doctor cut Tsuna's words. The white-haired boy looked at the baby suspiciously. Looks like he realized something about the baby.

"How about you? What's your name?" Tsuna aksed to the white haired boy.

The white haired boy started to think. He did not really remember his own names. In next five minutes, he just thought off a name. The boy wasn't sure whose name was that, but somehow, his instinct said to him that he should use that name.

The boy looked at Tsuna and his friends. "My name… is Hitsugaya Toushirou."

For everyone who thought that the white-haired boy is (clearly) Hitsugaya, our Shirou-chan. You're right! *gives everyone cookies*
