Daemon-nii didn't come again, Tsuna thought with a sad expression on his face. There were children, dogs, cats, birds, dads, moms in there park, but Daemon wasn't here. Why didn't he come? Daemon-nii told Tsu-kun he would come!
"Tsu-kun!", Nana called out to her son with a cheerful tone. "Come here! We will go shopping! It's your sixth birthday today! Isn't that great, Tsu-kun?".
"Okaa-san…", Tsuna whispered. Nana dropped her cheerful smile and her eyes filled with concern.
"What's wrong, Tsu-kun?".
"Daemon-nii didn't come… Did Tsu-kun do something wrong?". Young Tsunas' eyes were big, teary, filled with sorrow.
"Alala, Tsu-kun! Don't worry! Daemon-nii will come!", she said while thinking who in the world Daemon is.
"And Otou-san?", Tsuna asked. "He won't come, right?". He was not questioning. He just wanted to confirm what he already knew.
But Nana was too oblivious to see that. "Of course Otou-san will come!". And she was lying. Iemitsu had called her the previous day to tell her that he had a lot of work and he would not come.
Tsuna saw right through it and burst into tears. "Okaa-san is lying! Otou-san will never come home!"., he shouted. And he ran away, leaving Nana stunned.
Tsuna was running. He wasn't doing anywhere. He was just running, while crying. Why isn't Otou-san here? And Daemon-nii… Daemon-nii…
"Nufufu. Happy Birthday, Tsunayoshi-kun.".
Tsuna stopped. He slowly turned around in the sound of the familiar, creepy laugh. And he saw a man with navy blue melon hair, heterochromatic eyes, a gray coat, a black shirt with a white tie, and white pants with black boots standing behind his, wearing a creepy smile on his face.
There was no mistaking him. Tsunas' tears were now tears of joy. "Daemon-nii!".
"Nufufu. Nice to see you, Tsunayoshi-kun. How are you?", Daemon said with a cheerful – creepy in his case – smile.
"Daemon-nii! Daemon-nii came!".
"Nufufu. Don't be stupid, Tsunayoshi-kun. Of course I came. I was late because I had to leave a diary on a desk.". And wait for all the pieces to fall into place.
"Eh?"
Daemon ignored that. "Tsunayoshi-kun. There is a new friend I want you to meet.".
"Hiee!? Tsu-kun will have a new friend?". He was obviously curious.
"Yes. She is a very nice girl.". And you meeting her will bring us one step closer to the goal.
"Tsu-kun is VERY happy! Tsu-kun can't wait to meet her!".
"Nufufu. Follow me, Tsunayoshi-kun.".
"Yes, Daemon-nii!".
After about twenty minutes…
"Daemon-nii… What are Tsu-kun and Daemon-nii doing at the Shrine? Is that girl here?".
"Yes, she is here. But… she is hiding.". He sighted. "LUNAAA!"
"Over here, Daemon!", a cute girl voice sounded from somewhere. Somewhere very high. Daemon looked up and… he panicked.
"Luna! What are you doing on the tree branch!?". There was a little girl in Tsuna's age sitting at the top of the tree. She had long, straight, messy brown hair and the red glow of her eyes was visible even from that distance.
"I was chasing after a butterfly!".
"And you had to climb all the way up there!?".
"Si!".
Daemon got serious. "Luna, get down.".
"Si, Daemon!". Eh, Tsuna thought. What is she doing? Tsu-kun is sure that she did something with that black ring she's wearing… Hieee! Her ring is on fire! But… fire is orange and yellow and it burns wood. It's not black. Luna drew a line on thin air. Then the black flame appeared on the line and created a slice big enough for the girl to get in. She got in, she vanished along with the flames and she reappeared right next to Daemon.
"Hieee!", Tsuna yelled. And he fainted.
Luna kneed next to Tsuna. "Daemon, who is he?", she asked in Italian.
"He is a new friend of ours.".
"And why didn't you tell me?", she glared at him. Daemon felt paralyzed under the familiar glare. Even though they have nothing in common nor they are relatives, she looks like that man way too much!
"We shall carry him to his residence.", Deamon said, trying to hide his tremble.
"Si, Deamon!".
Half an hour later…
The bell rang. It must be Tsu-kun, Nana thought and opened the door of her house. And…
"My apologizes for the disturbance, Mr. Sawada. This is Luna and my name is Daemon Spade. We are friends of Tsunayoshi-kun. May we come in?".
Nana noticed that moment that the man was carrying Tsuna. "Ah, is Tsu-kun alright?", she asked worried.
"Yes, Mr. Sawada. He's just asleep.".
"Tsu-kun's room is upstairs.", she said. Then her tone turned into a cheerful one. "May I treat you something? We have a lot of snaks!".
"Si! Apple juice!", Luna yelled cheerfully. Good thing her smile hides her eyes, Daemon thought. Even Sawada Nana would freak out!
"And you, Daemon-san?".
"I would like some coffee, if you don't mind.".
"Yes~!". She's more oblivious than I thought it was possible, Daemon sweat dropped.
Daemon waited for the coffee to be ready, and then he went upstairs to find Luna and Tsuna talking. When did he wake up?, Daemon sweat dropped again. He listened to the conversation.
"Luna-chan, what was that fire on Luna-chans' ring?", Tsuna asked, curiosity making his eyed shining.
"Daemon says their name is 'Dying Will Flames'. I don't understand what he means. He never explained. But Mama used to say that my big brother has them too!".
"Luna-chan has an onii-san!?"
"Si, but I've never seen him. Mama says I look like him.".
"What is your onii-sans' name?". This is a bad topic, Daemon thought.
"Em… I think she said that… his name is… Oh, si! His name is Xanxus!".
