English is not my main language so if there are grammatical errors please bear with it.

By the way, I made Tsuna two years older than the canon, so he's the same age as Hibari and a certain Varia member. ;)

Chapter 1: The Start of a Horrible Life

Muffled cries were heard throughout the entire night within the Sawada household. A little brunette, who looks no older than nine, was curled up under the dining table trying to hide to his father. Yes, little Tsunayoshi was abused by his father and his mother did not know it, only his little brother, Ieharu, knows what is happening to him. As to Nana, he just ignores the eldest. His father made sure to do it after they fall asleep and try to make it as quiet as possible as to not disturb their sleep. Ieharu found out about the abuse when he suddenly woke up.

Ieharu woke up feeling a bit cold because of the weather. He looked around and saw that his brother isn't there. "Tsuna-nii?" he called. He heard no responses so he called again. That is when he heard some muffled sobs downstairs and the shuffling of feet. He walked out of the room, opening the door as quietly as possible. What he saw downstairs made his eyes widen.

His father was beating up his brother. Bruises and wounds litter all around his body. He was pleading to his father to stop. "You insolent child, why didn't you have Sky Flames?" Iemitsu said. "I almost lost a heir bacuse of you, luckily I have my little Ieharu to inherit the position."

Ieharu, did not understand what he meant, just stood there watching his brother get beaten up. Tsuna who saw him looked at him, giving Ieharu a silent message to leave and go upstairs. Ieharu understood this, although reluctantly, obeyed his brother. He went upstairs trying to make no noise as much as possible. Once he reached their room, he cried.

Tsuna went back to their room, saw that Ieharu was silently crying to himself. Tsuna's eyes soften, went to his brother then engulfed him into a warm embrace. "Don't worry, it's going to be alright. I'm fine, see?"

Ieharu heard this, began to cry louder.

"I'm sorry, Tsuna-nii" he cried. "It's not your fault Haru. It's alright"

They just laid there, with Tsuna comforting his little brother.

Tsuna was still 6 that time and Ieharu being four.

"Tch, I'm tired beating you up. Fortunately, I have someone who can take care of you." Iemitsu said with an evil grin. Tsuna widened his eyes in disbelief and fear. He knew exactly what the taking care means. He whimpered and backed away.

Iemitsu saw this and smiled. He picked up his phone then called someone. "I'm done with him, you can get him now." Minutes later, men in black suits arrived at their house claiming their 'present'. Tsuna tried to run away, but failed. They carry him over their shoulders like a sack. Tsuna screaming loudly for help, tears streaming down his face.

"No! Kaa-san, Ha-mph!" they covered his mouth to prevent him from screaming then inject something to make him sleepy so they could easily restrain him.

"We are expecting our pay tomorrow." Then they left heading to the Estraneo base.

So that's the first chapter, what do you think guys?
