A/N: I had mixed feelings this Thanksgiving. It was great seeing my grandparents and cousins again, but a close family friend died of asthma recently. So I decided to write another idea to get my mind off things.

As for the story related notes, alices in this universe are basically mutations of dying will flames, including fire alices. Alice users like Nana often mistake flames as alices so there will be other flame actives enrolled in the academy other than Tsuna. Tsuna has his flames manifest when he's older, about 10, and a misunderstanding leads to him being enrolled in Alice Academy.

Another Alice

When Tsuna had burst into flames with a terrified scream, Iemitsu hadn't expected his wife to give an excited squeal. "You have an alice just like mama! It's okay Tsu-kun, just calm down and they'll go away." Nana soothed. The large dog that attempted to attack him was already long gone so Tsuna took a deep, shaky breath. "Your uncle has a fire alice as well, he'll be so proud!" She gushed, hugging her confused son. Iemitsu was baffled as well.

"Honey, that's not-" "Oh, we'll have to get you enrolled into Alice Academy so you can control your power. Your cousins are enrolled there as well!" Nana says, dragging Tsuna into the house so she could call one of the principals. "I have cousins?!" Iemitsu and Timoteo just stared at the closed door. "Boss? Should we tell her what his flames really are?" Iemitsu asks hesitantly, the Vongola boss shook his head. "If it will keep your son out of the mafia, perhaps we should stay silent."

Tsuna still didn't understand why his mother was excited but figured that if she wasn't scared then his fire couldn't be too bad. If anything, his body felt like he was wrapped in a cozy blanket. On the mantle was a picture of Nana as a child with an older boy standing beside her. There was a woman that stood behind them, giving the camera a warm smile. Nana told him that his grandfather had died young, that he burned out. He wondered if she meant that literally.

Natsume scowled. Not only had the school taken his sister, apparently he had a cousin with a fire alice as well. His father rarely spoke of their aunt, only that she had married a powerful man the school couldn't touch. Looks like he was wrong or the brat wouldn't be here. Natsume thought bitterly. He resembled a baby bird with ruffled brown hair and innocent brown eyes. "Class, this is your new classmate Tsuna Sawada." Tsuna bowed, giving such a warm smile his classmates wondered if he had a pheromone alice.

"Nice to meet you all." He says shyly, wringing his hands nervously. "Now class, do you have any questions for Sawada-san?" Narumi asks patiently, a dozen hands shot into the air at once. "What's your alice?" Mikan asks curiously, several hands went down. A girl with curly black hair scowled at Mikan. Tsuna didn't look surprised by the question at all. "I'm a fire alice, it runs on my my mom's side of the family." He held out his palm and a small flame flickered to life, seeming to dance in his hand.

He extinguished it and frowned. "I can only get it to last a couple seconds but mom said I was improving." "He's so cute!" All the girls in class squealed, all the boys covered their ears in pain. Narumi sighed in relief, thankfully Tsunayoshi seemed nothing like his moody cousin. "Alright Sawada, let's find you a partner to show you around." He looked around the room until his gaze landed on a boy with red hair and glasses. "Shoichi, you both are from the same town aren't you?"

Shoichi Irie felt his stomach clench, uncomfortable with the amount of attention he was receiving. He didn't go to the same school as Tsuna but he could remember running into the boy after some bullies had stolen his lunch. The brunet didn't hesitate to share his, now Shoichi could properly repay him. "Y-Yes sensei. I don't mind." He says meekly. Narumi clasped his hands together and gave a charming smile. "Now that that's settled, let's get started with today's lessons."

Tsuna was excited about his partner, especially when he found out the shy boy had a technical alice. "That's really cool!" Tsuna says, watching as Shoichi tinkered with what looked to be a miniature robot. The red head blushed. "It's not really that impressive compared to Hotaru-chan's inventions."He says humbly. The girl often had a deadpan expression and would sell her inventions at ridiculous prices. She also had blackmail material on every student in their class.

Tsuna shrugged. "So? I'm sure the ones you make are different than hers." Shoichi couldn't help grinning. "Are you sure you don't have a pheromone alice?" He asks, Tsuna blinked. "I don't think so. Okaa-san just said that fire alices ran in her family." Tsuna says, Shoichi winced. "Well you're not the only fire alice in class. You do not want to get on Natsume's bad side." Shoichi says, shivering when the crimson eyed child shot him a glare.

"He looks a bit grumpy, kind of like Hibari-senpai." Tsuna comments, Shoichi squeaked. "At least Hibari couldn't set us on fire with a glare!" He exclaims, Tsuna raised an eyebrow. "You really think Natsume-san could do that?" Tsuna asks, Shoichi doubled over in pain so he decided not to stress out his partner with anymore questions.
