Hello everyone! I am officially back and plan to continue this story, if you where worried about that.
However, in the time between this and my last entry, I changed my computer and lost most of my notes on this story. This is why, I may have changed a few things, as you can see when I put this fanfiction in the crossover section this week.
Yes, this mean my first idea to minimize Obito and his impact on Tsuna may have changed.
LunarCatNinja: Idiotmatsu..? HAHAHAHA!
bloodshound: Thank you for your reviews, I always appreciate them, especially your explanations. Here a spoiler for you as a gift; Idiotmitsu will face hardship in the futur, but probably not in the way you expect it.
blades: It's funny you say that, it was actually my main idea behind this omake. Something like that happened to me with dumplings a few years back and I thought of using this in a way to put Iemitsu in a bad light without exaggerating too much. As for leaving his mother….well, it's true that some people put distant between themself and their mother when facing a bad situation, but that's not really the case here. Sure, Nana is far from the perfect mother and wife as the manga seem to like to portray her, but none of her actions are purposely cruel. She does love her son, simply not as much as her husband. Plus, don't forget Dame-Tsuna has no one else, he is very dependent on her as of now.
RinPekoGakkuri: Thank you for your proposition, that's really sweet of you, but someone else proposed first and I accepted. Sorry for the delay of the answer. Hope you still continue to read this story and don't think badly of me.
I don't really remember how to contact my Beta, so please tell me if you find any errors. Don't worry, I contact them soon, but if it reassure you lots, this computer is a lovely work of art. Enough that Spanner would approve. (It's correct mostly everything on it's own!)
As a way to ask for forgiveness, I put some actions in this chapter and an omake.
Thank you all for you supports and hope you enjoy!
I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Or Naruto Shippuden.
Twisting the instruments in his hands, a soft noise was heard. Rolling them between his fingers, the wood feel smooth under his touch.
The house was quiet, the low sound of the chopsticks meeting each other once in awhile echoing in the room.
«Tap, tap, tap!» Went and traveled from the dinner room, to the kitchen and the living room. It hit the walls, vibrating inside before stopping as suddenly as it came.
The boy was sitting on a comfy chair, squirming his backside once in while. His short legs, clad in a teal sweatpants, couldn't stop shaking. However, his eyes was entirely focused on his task, staring down at his greatest enemy since his childhood.
How dare he sat there innocently, while Tsunayoshi could literally feel his inside liquefying from sheer disgust?
The passing thought of running away was strong, the boy promise to himself to change be damned, but his love for his oblivious mother was stronger. Simply imagining the crease on her brow and the twitch in her jaw was difficult, seeing her tearful eyes would be even more so.
The brown haired boy took a breath and raised his hand, before descending on the bowl in front of him. Exhaling and closing his eyes, he let the chopsticks grasp a piece of food, before slowly opening his mouth. Body trembling and free hand fisted tightly, he let the piece of tekkadon touch his tongue…..
«Urgh!» Before immediately spatting it out. Trowing his body out of the chair and let it fall down noisily, he speed past a shocked Nana toward the bathroom.
It was too much, the soft feeling touching the buds of his tongue and the smell of the sea were too strong. The red flesh hidden from his eyes should have feel pleasing, but it make the boy want to retch.
Head facing the toilet bowl and knees probably covered in ecchymosis because of the hard fall, Tsuna gasped loudly, breath itching. Noose running and tears streaming down his face, red from exhaustion.
«Tsu-kun?» Called out the boy mother, hazelnut eyes filled with worry.
«I'm sorry Mama. I'm so sorry. I can't do it! I…Oh kami!» Babbled the teen, lips moving faster than he should, not even taking the times to breath properly between his words, before finally emptying his stomach. His tongue rolling on the roof of his mouth while he spoke, exposing the taste of decay even further inside, was simply insupportable.
«Shhh. Everything is alright, take your times and take deep breath. Here, do it like me.» Comforted the elder women, rubbing his back soothingly. Eyes tightly shut, her son focused on the sound of the air going in and out of her lungs. Slowly, he mimicked her and let his tense muscles relax.
I really hate tuna.
Sawada Nana heard the front door close and turned her attention down toward the now cold bowl of rice with slices of fish used as a topping. Frowning slightly, she took the offending dishe out of her sight and emptied it in the can trash.
She was a diligent housewife and as such always took pride in her cooking. This is with this talent of her's she managed to snatch her husband away in the first place, which furthermore make her confident her tekkadon was successfully done today.
The fish was fresh and of good quality, having it recommended by the local sushi chef when they meet by chance in the market. The rice was cleaned more than four times and heated just enough in her rice cooker to appear fluffy. The few greenies in the bowl came directly from her garden and she was careful with the her daily care of them. As for the sauce used, she make her son taste it last night and he had no problems.
Nana didn't understand what exactly happened, but came to the conclusion he was simply a teenager showing off his rebelling side awkwardly in order to fit in with the others.
Accepting this easily enough, she went in the kitchen to make something else. Tsuna now out for what he call a jog ,which she seriously doubted, she had probably an hour or two before his return.
Still having rice left in the rice cooker, she opened her fridge and took out a few eggs. Rebelling phase or not, the women knew her son wouldn't say no to her tamagoyaki.
Sighing out loud, she was about to start when the phone rang off. Letting the eggs go and ignoring the sound they made when they crashed on the ground, she shouted gleefully and went to answer.
It must be her husband!
The boy has not even closed the front door of his house and taken two steps, before a shadow loomed over him. Jumping on the side by instinct, he caught the gaze of one of his worst bully, who's fist was where his left shoulder would have been.
Tsunayoshi, more surprised than anything else to know that boy was arrogant enough to directly confront him in his own lawn, froze for a moment. Catching on quickly on this, the bigger teen didn't hesitate and tried to attack him again.
Dodging on the left in a swift move, Tsuna quickly tried to run, only to somewhat twist and fall on the ground. Hands on the asphalt and one of his knee taking the blunt force of his weight, he managed to catch himself and got up.
However, this clumsy action was all it took for his attacker to catch the hood of his jacket and throw him on the ground, hard.
Eyes wide with fear, the smaller boy watched this brute raise his left foot and prepared himself to be stepped on, but something happened.
His red eye throbbed painfully for an instant and his body moved on his own, as if on autopilot. Rolling aside and catching the leg of this idiot in a unforgiven grip, he sent him fly with a powerful kick to the ribs.
«ARGH!» Screamed the bully, clutching his sides by reflex, only to yell in pain even more loudly.
Raising his torso upward and leveling his upper body up with his elbows, Tsunayoshi watched in shock the person who made his life a living hell in school shed tears and laying on the grounds pitifully.
Compassion stabbed his heart for a moment, until memories of what he suffered under the others teen made itself know.
«STOP! Stop it! I did nothing! Let me go!» Exclaimed a young boy, sprawled on the ground and held there by two classmates.
Why is nobody coming! I'm right there! Don't you people hear me?!
Shrugging fruitlessly and continuing to make as much noise as possible in order to attract someone attention, he was rewarded for his effort by a harsh grip on his hair, pulling hard.
Gritting his teeth in pain, he still continued to resist their assault until the leader of this operation had no patience left.
Tall with hair alike his own in a darker shade, the upper-classmate hovering on his form punched him on the nose, probably attempting to break it on the process.
Yelping, Tsuna head fell back on the ground with the strength behind the attack and started to see starts in his vision.
On the others hand, the one who tried to hurt him made a hissing sound fall from his mouth, staring in disbelief at his throbbing hand. That kid head was harder than steel!
«Ken? You're okay?» Asked one of the boy, confusion itched plainly on his face.
«Of course! Who did you take me for? Dame-Tsuna?» Mocked the teen with a leer, earning himself a few laughs.
«Now, I won't ask again. Where did you put my money?» Questioned the now dubbed Ken, an ugly scowl on his face.
Watching the elder boy move his lips, but unable to hear what he said with the buzzing sound in his ears, the Sawada boy keep his mouth shut.
«I see. Strip him! He must have hidden it in his clothes!» Ordered Ken imperiously. Shocked by their senpai request, the two boys exchanged a nervous look, before noticing the threatening smile directed their way.
Better Dame-Tsuna than them.
Changing positions in order to make this more easy, one of them went behind the still confused small boy to hold him down in a judo hold, before the others went to strip him. Feeling down a shiver down his spine, Tsuna became more anxious, wondering what they were planning.
Now on his knee right in front of their victim, the student didn't hesitate before ripping his uniform top off, sending the buttons flying everywhere. Comprehending how bad the situation he was stuck in was, Tsunayoshi started to fight the hold on him again, to no vail. His four limbs were firmly held.
He screamed the most loudly possible and continued to struggle during all of this, but no one came and he didn't escape. Before he even know it, he was naked on the cold ground.
Humiliated, frustrated tears rolled down his cheeks, while the leader stood in front of him, sneering at his naked form. Hands still held behind his back and legs stuck under the one who stripped him, he couldn't even try to cover himself.
«Seem like you were right, you really didn't steal my cash.» Said the elder boy in a monotone drawl, making Tsuna hope for a second it was finally over.
It was not to last.
«Yet, you wasted our times. Why don't you cool your head off on your way home….like this.» Chuckled Ken, taking his clothes with him before leaving Tsuna there, beyond mortified.
He didn't instigate that particular incident, but continued to harass and hurt him afterward on his own accord. Exactly as he did just now.
Getting up, the teen didn't bother to dust his clothes or offer to help the helpless boy on the ground.
Shaking with restrained anger and bitter shame, both for what happened in the past and for what he was about to do, he took off.
He was already late on his schedule.
Omake
Tsu-kun no monogatari! Episode 3; Mama's love story!
Tsu-kun was sitting in the living room with his Mama, bored out of his mind.
Balancing his feet, he waited quietly for the movie to end, knowing how much his Mama waited to see this dumb thing. Ignoring what was happening around him, it was not surprising the loud squeal Mama made scared Tsu-kun.
Jumping on his feet from the sofa, Tsu-kun forget how small he was and how big the sofa was. Therefore, Tsu-kun fell down.
Eyes making contact with the tv, Tsu-kun made a disgusted noise.
«Euwww! Why are they kissing?» Asked Tsu-kun, forgetting he was supposed to stay silent.
«Because they are in love» sighed Mama, a strange dopey look on her face.
«But she said she hated him!» Exclaimed Tsu-kun, a finger pointed toward the pretty dark haired lady in the movie.
«That's because she was angry. I did the same thing with your Papa when you were still in my belly, even thought I love him.» Explains Mama gently, feeling nostalgic.
«You did!? Why?» Screamed Tsu-kun, surprised after having to watch the two together the last time that man visited them.
«I missed him and when he finally could came here, he was always working. I was sad and angry, so I lashed out.» Explained Mama, mind elsewhere.
«If he is never here, then why do you love him?» Tsu-kun asked, curious and jealous of all the attention Mama gave that man, even when he wasn't here.
«Love is selfless and free. We do not choose who we love, we only accept them, no matter what.» Said Mama, a sunny smile on her face, which made Tsu-kun happy.
«Beside, Papa never left me before you were created» said Mama bluntly, saddening Tsu-kun.
«Do you still miss him? Are you sad?» Asked Tsu-kun, depressed by Mama oblivious comment.
«Of course I miss your Papa! But, I'm not sad or lonely. Tsu-kun is with Mama after all.» Mama exclaimed, brushing his hair with her fingers.
Sad and happy at the same times, Tsu-kun went back on the sofa and laid his head down on Mama knees.
Caressing Tsu-kun hair, the boy fell asleep by the times the movie was finished.

Question; If you were a character in the KHR universe, which flame(s) would you have and why?
My answer; I would like to say Mist flames or Earth flames, but I would probably be a Rain flames user. I'm always surrounded and make friends quickly. I fit in multiples group with different mindset without troubles and seem to attract both good and bad reactions from others. Strangers even seem to feel like I am the right person to tell their life story to and ask advices. My friends often used me as a peacemaker in high school. Beside, I love water!
