Oh my god. Wow. I didn't expect that much reviews :'D I'm glad you like it though! Thanks! I like how well responded it got that Nana took some actions here! It really made me frustrated in other fics.

I hope you all like how I will continue and keep being awesome, guys!

"I'm off to school now!" A boy with brown, spiky hair stomped out of his room and walked into the kitchen. He had a wide smile on his face, looking really satisfied and happy. A woman with the same hair color, with an apron on her body turned to him and smiled genially. "Ara, have fun," she said and giggled as the boy kissed her on the cheek.

"Thanks, ka-san," the boy named Ieyasu Tsunayoshi smiled at her and stroked her arm, showing her his affection. He turned around and walked out of the door. "See you later!"

He left their three-room-apartment and walked to the elevator. As he waited for it his neighbor stopped next to him. "Good morning, Tsunayoshi-kun," the old lady said with a genially smile. Tsunayoshi, short Tsuna, smiled at her. "Good morning, Kobayashi-san. How are you this morning?" His smile was bright and shiny and the old lady laughed. "Oh my, you look as bright as always. I'm fine, I'm fine. And you, young boy?"

Tsuna grinned. "I'm fine, too. But I'm not that young anymore. I'm already 17 years old. So I'm a young man." Kobayashi laughed. This boy was so cheerful and happy! She was happy to have such a nice neighbor.

As the elevator announced himself with a ping both of them entered it. "Oh dear… how time flies! You just moved in yesterday!" Tsuna laughed. "Kobayashi-san, two years had passed." The lady chuckled friendly. "Are you on your way to visit your husband?" Tsuna finally asked. "Oh, yes. He will be happy to see me again. Yesterday I didn't make it." She sighed. "He always complain about the food in the hospital so I have to slip in some of my homemade food!" She lifted a wooden basket and smiled sheepishly. Tsuna grinned. "Oh, that's awesome! Your husband must be really lucky to have you."

They arrived at the first floor and Tsuna looked at the watch. "Oh, I have to hurry. Please give your husband my greetings and my blessings!" He waved to bid her goodbye and ran out of the apartment building. He looked right and left and ran across the street to run to school.

Kobayashi smiled. "Oh dear, what a cheerful boy!"

As Tsuna arrived school he was greeted by some of his classmates. He waved at them and stumbled over his own feet. "Oops," he made and laughed sheepishly. "Clumsy as ever, huh?" A voice appeared behind him. Tsuna looked back and grinned. "Good morning, Spanner!" A blonde guy stood behind him, in his mouth dangled a stick of a lollipop. "Good morning, Tsunayoshi."

They both walked next to each other to the school building and changed shoes. "How was your weekend?" Spanner asked and pulled out another stick of lollipop. He offered Tsunayoshi one but he refused. "Good. Ka-san and I watched a movie and … well, went shopping." Spanner tilted his head. "Eh…again your mother. With that you never get a girlfriend."

Tsuna puffed his cheeks. "Wha- I don't plan to get a girlfriend," he murmured and blushed a bit. Spanner chuckled slightly and entered their classroom.

"Good morning, Spanner! Tsuna!" A few classmates said and some of them even walked to them. Tsuna smiled happily and talked with each other. He had many friends even though he was clumsy and sometimes a bit slow.

"Oi, Tsuna!" A green haired boy put his arms around his shoulder. "I saw you with your mother again! Then you keep spending your time with your o-kaa-san you'll never get yourself a girlfriend!"

Some students around them laughed and Tsuna pouted. "I – What… arg, whatever!" he said and still got laughed. But he knew that they all didn't mean it bad. It was just teasing.

Tsunayoshi really did spend time with his mother. More, than other boys in his age. He really adored his mother and he wanted to protect her – just like she protected him. And he could just show his affection to her by spending time with her, helping her.

The teacher entered the room and everyone went to their seat.

It was mathematic, the lesson Tsunayoshi didn't like at all. He knew that his teacher disliked him so he would pick him to answer the question.

He wrote a difficult formula on the chalk board and looked around the class. Tsuna didn't even bother anymore to duck his head behind his book. "Sawada! Come and solve this problem!" the teacher said. As always the teacher got a few dark glares from some friends of Tsuna but he just smiled nervously and stood up. He walked to the board and took the white chalk and stared at the formula. "Uh…"

He peeked to the teacher who had a mischievous grin on his face. Tsuna looked behind his shoulder, his hand sweating as he saw Spanner hold his notepad up to show him the solution. Tsuna frowned and turned around. His hands did shake a bit but he remembered the first numbers. He gulped as he didn't know further and bit his lip. "Eh..."

He looked to the class to see the green haired boy hold up his notepad while the teacher looked at Tsunayoshi. Tsuna remembered it quickly and closed his eyes. "I think… it's like this…?" He wrote down the things he remembered seeing and then suddenly someone coughed loudly. "It's *cough* a nine*" Tsunayoshi frowned. He wrote a four and corrected himself.

The teacher looked at the board and snorted. It was right. "And why's that?" Tsunayoshi went pale. He couldn't explain! If he didn't knew how he would get detention – again! He was nervous and peeked to his classmates. Well, he didn't expected that they would help him but was really surprised as Spanner hold his notepad up again.

He remembered the sentence and Spanner put his notepad away as the teacher looked to his classmates. Tsuna bit his lower lip. "B-because… you have the formula… 18x²-32y+4… and… eeh… to get 6x³-32y+4x you have to..." He explained the first step but stuttered as he didn't know how to continue. Tsunayoshi saw a movement and peeked to the side.

The green haired boy, named Youichi, hold his notepad up. His writing was bad but he seemed to quickly write it down.

After he rambled the explanation he just read down the teacher sighed. No detention for his 'favorite student'. He moved his hand to show Tsuna he could sit back. Tsuna sighed and quickly walked to his seat, with forming his mouth to a 'thank you' to Youichi and Spanner. He sat down and the rest of the lesson the teacher ignored him.

At lunch Tsuna sighed and put out his bento. "Oi. He was a jackass – as usual!" Youichi said as he walked to Tsuna. "Let's go eat outside!" Before Tsuna could protest Youichi grabbed his lunch box and walked out. Tsuna sighed but smiled. He stood up and waited for Spanner who always came along.

Tsunayoshi walked home. Spanner had computer science club and Youichi was in the baseball club. So Tsuna, who didn't have any school activity, walked home alone. He looked at the sky and smiled slightly. His life… it had changed so much.

As he arrived at his apartment building he took the elevator to go to the 5th floor. With a ping the elevator door opened and Tsuna left the small room and walked to his apartment.

He stopped as he stood in front of his apartment. The door was slightly open and Tsuna had a really bad feeling about it. His heart throbbed hard in his chest and he took a deep breath before he slowly opened the door.

The apartment was silent. Where were no light. Tsuna slid into his own apartment and with quiet steps he walked through the entrance hall. He heard noises in the kitchen and tensed up.

Tsuna clenched his hand to a fist. Slowly he felt warm flowing through his body and his fist was suddenly covered in pure orange flames. He carefully touched the door knob of the kitchen. He quietly opened it and peeked inside. He saw a body as suddenly the door was opened. Tsuna was about to attack the body but he could stop himself. It was his mother.

"Tsu-kun!" Nana gasped. Tsuna gasped, too and lowered his fist and the flames were gone. "Kaa-san! What… why is it so dark?" He opened the light and blink because it was a bit too bright. Nana also blinked.

Tsuna could see red marks around Nana's eyes indicating that she was crying. He softly put his hands on her shoulders. "What happened, kaa-san?" he asked softly. Nana looked at him and suddenly sobbed. "I-I'm sorry. I… " She turned around and went to the table. She took something from it and showed it Tsuna.

The brunet took it and froze. It was a piece of paper. With red paint on it, on it was Sawada written. "I think… I think he found us…" Nana sobbed.

Tsuna stared at the piece of paper. He didn't know what to say. "I… we can't leave," Nana then said. "We ran away twice... And… you made so wonderful friends…" She cried. What should she do? She was afraid what could happen. It was never like she was abused by her husband. Maybe they could get things over when they talk with each other but… She was afraid. She couldn't stay. But it was heartbreaking that her son would leave his friends again. He made so wonderful friends. Spanner and Youichi were such good friends to Tsuna. She couldn't leave again.

But then she felt warm hands on her shoulders. She looked up. Her eyes widened as she saw Tsuna smiled so warm, so bright, and so soft, so … understanding.

"It's okay," he said like the first time they ran away. "We should leave right now." His voice was warm and kind. Nana sobbed. "But… but… you made friends! And you're in high school you have…" "I'll handle this. Please pack our things and I'll handle everything else."

It wasn't like Tsuna liked to run away. But he couldn't burden Nana with this. She took so much effort to run away the first time! She gave up everything. Her life as a mother with two children. Her life as a wife of a loving husband. Just, to safe him. To make sure he was alright.
It hurt Tsuna that his mother was suffering so much. He couldn't do more than handle those things like school and such.

But first Tsuna walked to his laptop, printed a letter for the principal. It was the same letter he used at his second school.

After they ran away from Namimori with the help of one of Nana's friend they travelled miles ago. There he got enrolled into a school for two years. But after those two years they nearly got find out by Iemitsu. So they ran away again.

That's how he ended up here. Tsuna let Nana sign the letter and put it in a envelope and started to run.

He just took a few minutes to arrive at school. He left the envelope in the mailbox and as he wanted to run back he stopped. He hesitated and ran back into the school building. He panted as he arrived at the room for the computer science club. He knocked and opened the door. A few students looked up. So did Spanner and stood up.

"Tsunayoshi. What's up?" He asked and followed him outside.

Tsuna calmed down and smiled. "I have to go," he said. Spanner frowned. "Where?" "I don't know yet. But I have to go. And I'm not coming back." The blonde widened his eyes. He even dropped his lollipop which had dangled in his mouth as usual. "What? What do you mean? Why?" Tsuna smiled sadly.

"I'm sorry. You were a great friend." Tsuna raised his arms and hugged Spanner. "I will miss you. Thanks for everything. And I'm really sorry." His voice wavered a bit and he was close to tears but he controlled himself. "Good bye, Spanner."

Tsuna gave him a bright smile even though a tear appeared in the corner of his eye. Before Spanner could react Tsuna ran. "Tsunayoshi! Wait!" But Tsuna was long downstairs. He ran to the baseball field to look for Youichi. As he saw the green hair he waved to get his attention. Youichi looked up. "Oh, yo, Tsuna!" He ran to Tsuna. "It's okay to come?" Tsuna asked and the teen grinned. "Of course, we have some break anyway. What are you up to?" Youichi asked, grinning. Tsuna smiled. "I wanted to say good bye." "Eh? But we did. In front of the classroom. And for that you didn't have to come all the way-" "No, I'm going. I leave the town." Youichi's grin disappeared. "What? Are you fucking kidding me?!" he almost screamed. He knew that Tsuna was serious. He had this sad-gentle smile on his face and his eyes were firm. They did not wavered. "Where are you going?" "I don't know yet. But I won't come back." He smiled. "I'm sorry." "This morning… everything was alright! What happened?!" He shouted at him. His teammates were looking at them.

Tsuna lowered his eyes. "I'm sorry… I can't tell. But…" He looked up and looked into the green orbs of the baseball fan. "I will miss you." He hugged Youichi. "And I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"No fucking way! Explain, Tsuna!" He pushed Tsuna back and glared at him. Tsuna just smiled. "I'm sorry. And thanks for everything." He closed his eyes for a short moment. "Good bye, Youichi." He turned around and ran away. Youichi knew even though he was clumsy Tsuna was a fast runner; faster than him.

"Tsuna! Tsuna, come back! TSUNA!"

The Ieyasu apartment was silent. Most things what indicated that there had once lived someone were gone. As a male with black hair entered the apartment he knew he was too late. He walked through the apartment and wondered if he would find something, but he found nothing. As he left the apartment and closed the door, an old lady came out of her apartment.

"Oh dear," she said as she spotted the young man. "Are you looking for the Ieyasu?" The male looked calmly at her. "They are long gone," she said. "It was so surprising! I just met the boy this morning! So cheerful and bright, that boy. But as he bid me good bye he looked worried and tired… That they had to leave so suddenly! Oh well I'm rambling. They left a few hours ago. I'm sorry, you're a bit late." The old lady smiled and said good bye to the male.

He just kept silent and waited for the woman to enter the elevator. He sighed and shoved his hands into his trousers pockets.

"…Sawada Tsunayoshi," the name escaped his lips.

Hope you liked this chapter :x

I have SOOOOOO many ideas for how it could go on! I can make it like this or that or like this... and that... I don't know how I should decide!

So maybe... I let you decide? You have the possibility:

a) They turn back because of someone's death

or

b) They turn back because of someone's unhappiness.

So keep reviewing :'D Maybe you get what you want... somehow ? xD
