It's been three months since Tsuna was found within the garden ("It is not a garden! It is an entire forest!") and under the tutelage of Kurrma. He had met all the servants of the manor and even assisted with some of the daily chores after learning how to do so. Each was family and Tsuna wanted to ensure that each felt so. He gave them better sleeping quarters and allowed them time off to do as they please. Though, they tended not to since they enjoyed being with Tsuna. He was learning about the land that the manor resided on and apparently now belonged to him.

It was in a terrible state. They were regularly raided by pirates (though Tsuna had yet to face a raid during his time there) and the people were in desperate need of help. Heck, the manor was probably the only thing well taken care of, but that was because everyone in the island contributed to taking care of it in case a new Master was to arrive soon.

'Seriously, everyone treats the Master as if he/she was a god!' Tsuna thought.

"Tsunayoshi-sama (the best Tsuna could get him to stay away from formalities), would you like to visit the village?" Kurrma asked.

Tsuna sprang up from his studies in surprise. Kurrma had yet to ask him to actually see "his" people and with this sudden offer-! "Yes, I'd love to!" he exclaimed.

"What do you think they'll think of me? Do you think that I'll be able to help them all?"

Kurrma laughed. "Tsunayoshi-sama, calm down. The people will love you company, I assure you. We've all made an announcement actually that you would be visiting."

He froze. "Kurrma. You made an announcement?! Does that mean I have to meet them all at once?" He banged his head onto the desk-careful not to spill the ink and ruin all the paperwork that Kurrma was already pushing onto him!

"Yes, they are quite excited for a speech actually," Kurrma smirked.

"A speech?!"

Kurrma left his young master to worry in his office alone with his hand covering his mouth.

Mizuki blinked and hid a smile as she saw Kurrma exit the young master's room while chuckling. She was glad that Tsuna-sama (the farthest Tsuna to informally call him) came to the manor. Everything became brighter and happier at his arrival. She remembered those dark days after their past master passed away without an heir-an assassination actually. She had watched her mother give up and sincerely wished she tried harder to encourage her mother, so that she could meet her kind, new master. However, changing the past was and is impossible.

Knocking on the door, Mizuki entered the office with a tray of herbal tea. "I'm guessing Kurrma told you about the speech."

"You guys are horrible! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Tsuna whined. "Now I have to write an entire speech in less than a couple hours and meet every person on this island who treats me like I'm a god!"

Mizuki calmly smiled as she poured the tea into the cup. "Oh you'll be fine Tsuna-sama. I mean, you gave all the servants a speech just a few days after you arrival and it was perfect. We still talk about it amongst ourselves today."

Blushing, Tsuna slumped into his chair. "That was...because I met all of you already and you treated me all so warmly that it was like talking to family." He turned his head to the wall and pouted. "Besides, that was only like 100 people. This is going to be thousands!"

Mizuki shook her head at the silliness of her young master as she set the tea onto his desk. "If it's you Tsuna-sama, you can do it." She smiled comfortingly and left the office.

Tsuna sweat as he tugged at the collar of of his shirt. He wore a plain green turtle neck and dark blue shorts. Not exactly high class, but that was the message he was hoping for. He gulped as as he glanced from the balcony entrance to where thousands of people stood, anticipating his arrival. He took deep breaths and could only softly shriek as he panicked over the endless possibilities of rejection or screwing up the speech. He jumped when a hand landed on his shoulder and turned to see the Head Chef Souz there.

"Don't worry Tsuna. You'll be perfectly fine," the middle-aged man laughed. "Suzuki over there has been screaming profanities about how you are the best and that no one should doubt you."

Suzuki and Souz were married to one another with three children-one who worked as a stable boy, another a blacksmith's apprentice, and the third as a small child who accompanied his parents at the manor. Usually he followed his mother who was one of the many gardeners of the manor. Coincidentally, it was currently their youngest (Hanzaki) who was tugging at his sleeve.

"Kirin-sama! Are you going to show anata no kirei desu tsubasa?" Hanzaki exclaimed in excitement.

Giving the universal silence (a finger to his lips) he winked and walked to the crowd. Upon seeing him, the crowd cheered loudly and in the distance, Tsuna could see Suzuki's two eldest children-Hounzaki and Kounzaki. They bowed and Tsuna inwardly panicked.

He rose his arms and shouted, "There is no need to bow! I may be one you see as a God, but I wish to be treated merely as someone like one of you."

Murmurs arose from the crowd as they stared in between their companions and to their God.

"I know it has been tradition that the Master of the Manor shall be the leader of you all, but I would like you to treat me like your own. I was not born into this position and I will only allow that respect when I have done something to deserve so," Tsuna explained. "Today, I speak with you to tell of my inheritance of this island. I fear that I will not live to expectations. I fear that I will lead you all to your doom. However, I hope you will all stand with me on this journey. May we live our lives to the fullest and be a happy nation. Let us live with our dying will!" At this, he allowed his wings to spread.

They were similar to that of an angels, but thinner and looking similar in figure to that of the dragons in myths. It was a dim, silver color with the tips slowly turning gold. It seemed to have this ethereal glow that made the people of the island think of the night sky. It was a marvelous sight and they felt proud to see that their new leader had beautiful, pure wings that showed his honest and caring heart. However, the surprise was far from over. An orange flame slowly cloaked his wings with a clarity that seemed to shimmer. The flames danced a fiery tango and made their leader look strong-stronger than any general they could ever face.

And then...they cheered. Tsuna could only smile at the positive feelings he felt from his-no, not yet when he has done nothing-the people, their emotions resonating at a high that made him relish in pride. He had people who had faith in him, who would stick by his side, and he could ask for no more.

He decided then, that this fruit was one that brought a curse and a blessing to its users. It was one that granted a link to that of the beyond, but also brought the expectations of others to reach that beyond. He decided to name it, the Hoshii Hoshii no Mi. With this, his adventure began as ruler of the Nathioka Island.
