Disclaimer is at the top of chapter one but… Katekyo Hitman Reborn does not belong to me, I am only a big fan.

(A/N: I have no excuses. All I can say is I'm sorry. And there might be many mistakes since I just threw this together without editing. Hope you all like it.)

Short Summary:

So far, we know how the four teens met and Tsuna has amazing hacker and cooking skills. Reborn and Tsuna's brother, Tsukiyoshi, were also introduced.

In the last chapter, Tsuna, Hibari, Byakuran, and Mukuro met up for dinner when another bunch of people showed up and they all ended up in a human pile then they all started eating dinner.

Recap:

Once the rowdy group of teenagers filled the medium sized, round, wooden table, Tsuna brought out the food and sat down next with a tall, black-haired, and brown-eyed male who sat to his left while there was a boy with silver hair and jade green eyes to his right. Hibari sat reluctantly next to that silver-haired boy with Kusakabe next to him. Mukuro sat between Kusakabe and Byakuran while Byakuran was next to that black haired boy.

"Alright. Time to eat." With that, they all said "Itadakimasu" and dug into the delicious meal their precious tuna prepared for them.

Chapter 5

Four years ago:

Saying nine year old Tsuna was angry would be a huge understatement. Not only did Iemitsu and Tsuki come back after four years of no contact at all, they had the nerve to think they can just barge in and be welcomed with open arms, bringing Tsuki's so called friends. Even worse was that he somehow got himself stuck with bringing his twin and Tsuki's "friends" around so Tsuki could get reacquainted with the town and its people. What friends? I bet he treats them like trash. Ugh. This is the worse day ever Tsuna thought Maybe I should've just stayed at Byakuran's place. Pouting cutely, he locked his house's door and turned around to face his "dear" brother.

"Let's go?"

"Yeah." Ah. That smile's so fake. Again. I just have to wonder why nobody notices. Are they all blind or something? Tsuna sighed and led his brother out the gates and towards the marketplace at the early hour of seven AM on a Sunday. This is so not how I want to spend my Sunday. How did I get myself into this again? Oh. Right. Mama.

About an hour ago:

Tsuna was sleeping peacefully until a loud bang came from downstairs. Meh. Something probably fell. Or mom dropped something. Nothing new. Now normally Tsuna's HI would warn him if there is danger or something bad would happen, but Tsuna was just too tired to care, considering how late he slept. He just continued to sleep until…

"MY DARLING NANA~ I'M BAAAAACK!"

"Oh Iemitsu! Welcome back! You too Tsu-kun!"

Ignore them. Ignore them. Ignore them. Ignore them. Tsuna chanted in his mind while trying - unsuccessfully - to plug his ears with his hands. Nooooooooo! WHY! Loud footsteps coming up the stairs could be heard. They stopped right outside his door and… BANG!

"Tuna! Papa is back! Wake up!"

There goes my door. And I locked it too he groaned and curled up.

"Rise and shine tuna fish!" The blanket Tsuna wrapped securely around himself disappeared so Tsuna finally opened his eyes.

"P-papa… Why are you back?"

"I can't come back to see my lovely Nana and cute tuna?"

"T-that's not it. D-don't you have work?"

"Papa especially took time off to come back to visit! Tsuki brought some friends too! Now get up and come eat breakfast with us!" Iemitsu went back downstairs, trusting Tsuna would go down soon.

Tsuna groaned yet again. Why? Why would they do this to me? I think I'm gonna cry… Sigh. Might as well get up now. He got up and walked into the bathroom to get ready. Once he finished, he dressed up and started down the stairs. He paused when he reached the door to the dining room. He took a few deep breaths and went inside.

"G-good morning, Mama."

"Good morning, Tsu-chan," Nana gave him a small smile.

"Hey how about Papa and Tsuki?"

"G-good m-morning Papa, Tsu-Tsuki-kun..."

"Hn." What a wimp. Guess Dame-Tsuna will always be Dame-Tsuna. The blond version smirked. Tsuna just sighed and sat down somewhere at the table as he scanned the room. There were two others that he vaguely recognized from his "research". They were both about the same age as them but, out of the two, only the silver-haired child really caught his eye.

Smoking Bomb Hayato. Hmm… Interesting. If I remember correctly, he's an illegitimate child and the brother of Poison Scorpion Bianchi. He ran away from home a year ago when he found out his mother might have been killed by his own father. He's not supposed to be affiliated with any Famiglia though. What is he doing with Tsuki?

"Tsu-chan! Why don't you go show Tsu-kun and his friends around town while Mama and Papa spend some quality time together?"

"Eh? B-but I have s-something to do l-later."

"Oh I'm sure you can do that next time. Tsu-chan also wants to spend some time with Tsu-kun too right?"

"B-but."

"No buts! Now hurry up with breakfast and go~"

"... Hai... Mama…"

Not even a block away from home and Tsuki's expression changed from a charming smile to one of disgust. "Tch. Stupid Dame-Tsuna. You don't think I'd really want to spend time with you do you? Hah! Pathetic." Tsuki punched Tsuna in the face then kicked him a few times and left with his "friends" in tow. However, Tsuna noticed Gokudera Hayato's shock when his brother attacked him and his glance back when they left.

"Ow. Can't just go home like this now can I? It's still too early… But since he left, I'm free!" Might as well go to Byakuran's place for these future bruises. If I'm lucky, Kyoya and Mukuro might be there too. Punishment for Tsuki time! Fufufu~ …. Ugh. Now I'm starting to act like Mukuro. I blame that pineapple for rubbing off on me.

Later - at one of Byakuran's normal houses:

"Byakuran~ I'm here. Did you eat breakfast yet? Oh. Do you have some ice?"

"Tsu-chan! I missed y-," Byakuran rushed out of his room to greet Tsuna when he noticed Tsuna was hurt, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE!?"

"Hi Bya-kun. It hasn't even been 8 hours since I last saw you and it's not only my face. Are Kyoya and Mukuro here?" Tsuna smiled sweetly. The atmosphere was too calm, giving the impression of the calm before the storm.

"Yep~ Come. Let's go to the living room so I can get you treated before you tell us who did this to you," Byakuran sounded calm but one could see the serious gleam in his eyes and the killing intent flowing off him like waves. He led Tsuna gently to the living room and sat him on a comfy, marshmallow shaped chair before leaving to get some ice and a glass of water for Tsuna. The other two instantly noticed something wrong and when they saw their precious tuna's face, they almost lost it.

"Who did that, Tsunayoshi-kun?" Mukuro asked.

"Answer us, Sawada, Tsunayoshi. I'll bite whoever it is to death."

"Now, now, Skylark-kun. Save some for me."

"Hn."

"And me too~ Tsu-chan here's some water and ice~" Byakuran handed the items to Tsuna and sat down as well. "Now, Tsu-chan. Who did this?"

Tsuna drank some water while holding the ice to his cheek. "Well~ Hmm…. should I tell you?"

"Get on with it, Omnivore."

"Alright then~ You see~" Tsuna's expression turned serious. "Iemitsu came back this morning and he brought Tsuki and his underlings- Oh dear. They left before I got to finish. Oh well. I'll just wait for them to get back~" Cue evil-but-still-somehow-cute-smirk.

That Night at the Sawada's house:

"Tsu-kun! What happened to you three? Come in. Come in. Iemitsu! Tsu-chan! Come help treat them!" Nana led the three children inside.

"Don't worry, Nana. Kids get kinda rough when they play these days. Haha!"

"I guess you're right…."

Heh. Good job, Kyoya, Mukuro, and Byakuran~ I'll have to thank them with home-cooking later~

Two Days Later - Afternoon - Empty Park:

"Hmph! Useless thing! How dare you talk back to me! Don't think just because you're slightly smarter than I am that you can teach me what to do! You're fired! You don't have what it takes to be my storm guardian, you useless half-breed!" Tsuki screamed and kicked at Gokudera.

"Ugh! I don't care! I don't want to follow you anymore, anyways! Someone who can treat his own brother so badly like you!"

"Tch! Just who do you think picked you up when no one wanted you? No one will ever want you now! Just go die!" And Tsuki left, leaving an injured Gokudera lying on the grass in misery. What he said is true. No one wants me. Not even my own parents and definitely not my sister. I wonder if mom really wanted me. She did come by once in a while to teach me piano, but who knows why she did that? Maybe she was there for the money... No... No. I know that's not true. She was really warm. No one was ever as warm and kind to me as she was. She really did love me... But.. Now she's gone. She won't ever come back. No one else will ever love me in this world. No one...

"Are you alright?" Gokudera's lifted his head to see the twin of his former boss. "Here. I'll take you somewhere to be treated."

"Leave me alone! No one wants me anyways! I'm just a useless piece of trash! An illegitimate son! I can just die here and no one will care! No one…" He didn't even notice he was crying until he finished.

"Don't say that. I care about you. I would be sad if you were to die here." Gokudera looked up again to see a gentle and honest smile directed at him. "After all, you're so kind. You stood up for me didn't you? Thank you." The brilliant smile on the other's face made him waver. "Gokudera-kun is a kind and smart person worthy of anyone's care. It's just Tsuki who isn't worthy enough for you. Come. Stand up and let's get you treated." He hesitantly took the offered hand.

"Don't lie to me…" He knew Tsuna wasn't lying, but it's been so long that he felt this warmth that he didn't know what to think. Do people like this still exist?

"I'm not. It was all true." That gentle smile was still there. Hope and a warmth he hasn't felt since his real mother died welled up inside of Gokudera. "Oh. Have you eaten yet? I'll make something for you later."

"Thank you… Tsuna-sama." A small smile formed on his lips. Tsuna returned the smile and led him away from that park. I guess they still do exist after all.

"Umm...Tsuna-sama-" Gokudera started, as Tsuna led him to Byakuran's place.

"Just Tsuna is fine," Tsuna corrected, keeping his sight towards the road while trying to keep Gokudera balanced.

"No! I can't be so informal with Tsuna-sama!"

I have a feeling he won't change that. I hope that's not true. "Sigh... Anyways. What were you going to say?"

"Oh. Where are we going, Tsuna-sama?"

"To a friend's house to treat your injuries."

"A friend? Which friend? I was told you didn't have any though... Ah! I'm sorry if that offended you, Tsuna-sama!" Tsuna was sure that if he was not holding onto Gokudera then the other male would've done a dogeza bow or something similar, in the middle of the street. Which, to be honest, would be hilarious but would also draw way too much attention. And that's not something he wants right now, especially when his dad and twin are still in the country.

"I don't mind. It was what I wanted them to think after all." The brunette just continued walking towards the direction he knew Byakuran's house is in. "Let's just keep going. I'll explain later when we've treated those injuries of your and gotten something to eat. I'm sure you're tired and hungry, dealing with Tsuki all day."

"Yes, Tsuna-sama!" With that, they quickened their pace as much as they could without further aggravating Gokudera's wounds.
