"Nii-chan? Where are you going?" A little boy stood, staring at the back of another little boy. "Nii-chan? Why won't you say anything?" He walked up to the boy and tried to touch him. However, his hand was slapped away. "N-nii-chan?"

"Don't touch me. I'm leaving and I won't be coming back for a while."

"W-why?" The little boy walked toward the other. "Why are you being so mean, Nii-chan?" The other little boy looked at the little boy.

"I'm sorry," the little boy said. The way he said that sent tears down the other boy's cheeks.

"WHY!? WHERE ARE YOU GOING!? WHY AREN'T YOU STAYING HERE WITH MOMMY AND DADDY!?" the boy shouted. The other little boy walked to the door. "DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG!?" The little boy stopped and turned to face the little boy.

"You didn't do anything wrong," the leaving little boy said. He looked at the ground, his hair covered his eyes. "I just want to protect you guys." He looked up and smiled. "That's why I have to leave."

EIGHT YEARS LATER

"HIIIII! HELP ME!" A boy screamed. He ran out of the house. "I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!" Then he smashed into someone. "Ow… I'm sorry."

"Tsuna?"

"H-huh? AH!" The boy looked up in surprise. "N-no way… Raidou…-nii…-san…?"

"Yo. Long time no see." Raidou smiled. "How've you been-!" Tears flowed down Tsuna's cheeks. "Tsuna!? Are you okay?" Tsuna rubbed his eyes.

"Y-yeah. I'm okay. It's just been so long." Raidou smiled.

"Ah. That's right." Tsuna looked up.

"Hmm?"

"Who's trying to kill you?"

"AH! That's righ-! OW!" Tsuna's face smashed onto the ground.

"Eh? Tsuna? You okay?"

"You let your guard down, No Good Tsuna." A voice said. Raidou looked down and he saw a little baby in a suit and top hat. His eyes widened a bit and returned to how they were before. The baby looked up. "You are?"

"Hmm? Uh… Raidou. Just call me that," He replied. The baby smirked.

"What are you to Tsuna?" The baby asked.

"A friend. That's it, I guess," Raidou spoke, stretching. "What are you to Tsuna?" The baby smirked again.

"I'm Tsuna's at-home tutor, Reborn," the baby replied. Raidou looked down at the baby.

"Huh." Tsuna's head flung up.

"Don't listen to him, Raidou-nii-san!" Tsuna shouted. "He's just joking!" Tsuna laughed with a worried look on his face.

"You've gotten worse at lying, Tsuna," Raidou said, with a bored expression. "You should know that it's useless trying to lie to me." Tsuna dropped his head in defeat. "What ever. Everyone hides things. It's just that some people can hide it better than others." Tsuna stared at Raidou.

"Does that include you?" Raidou shifted his head to see Tsuna's face and smiled, faintly.

"Yeah, me too."

"Nii-san…"

"Well, then let's go inside, shall we?"

"Y-yeah." The three boys went inside the house.

"Yo, Auntie." Raidou said at the doorway of the kitchen. Nana turned around. "It's been some time, huh." Nana ran over to Raidou and embraced him.

"Yes, it's been so long!" Nana said, overjoyed. "How've you been? Have you been eating well?" Raidou smiled.

"I've been good and I'm as healthy as I always have been." Raidou replied. Then he looked around the kitchen. "Uh… Auntie?"

"Yes?"

"When did Uncle come back?"

"Hmm? What do you mean? He didn't come back."

"Then… how'd you get more kids?" Raidou pointed at the kids running around the kitchen. Tsuna flushed bright red.

"Oh. Lambo-kun and I-pin-chan?" Nana asked. Raidou nodded. "Oh. They are Reborn-kun's friends."

"Huh. Really." Raidou looked at Tsuna whose face was still red. "What?" He smirked. "Thinking perverted things, Tsuna?" Tsuna got even redder.

"N-no! Why would I even think that!?" Raidou looked away and his grin became wider.

"What? Things happen in eight years," Raidou said and sighed. "Meh, what ever. I'm bored and Namimori changed a lot." Raidou walked over to Tsuna and grabbed his arm. "Show me around, Tsuna."

"E-eh? Why me?"

"What? I don't know anyone else who can show me around."

"A-all right."

"Yay." Raidou mockingly said.

The both of them went to the shopping district and walked around. Tsuna pointed many stores out and told him what he'd find there.

"Interesting."

"Ah! Tsuna-kun!" Raidou and Tsuna looked to see an orange-haired girl sitting down next to a black-haired girl.

"Ah! Kyoko-chan! And Haru!" Tsuna said, surprised.

"Your girlfriends?" Tsuna flushed red.

"N-no way!" Raidou laughed.

"I'm kidding!"

"Tsuna-san! Who's that person behind you?" Haru asked.

"Ah! Uh… he's my childhood friend, Raidou." Raidou nodded.

"I'm Kyoko! And this is Haru! Nice to meet you!"

"Y-yeah," Raidou said. Then his gaze trailed off somewhere else. "You can stay here with your girlfriends, Tsuna. I'll go buy something to eat or to play."

"Uh… okay," Tsuna said. Raidou walked around the shopping district.

"What's there to buy anyway-!" Raidou ran into someone. "Ow… sorry." He looked up to see a boy in a green uniform with a weird haircut.

"That's quite alright." He said in a soft voice. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah. It's didn't hurt that much." Raidou got up. "You're okay right?"

"Yes."

"Good. I'll see you around then." Raidou waved at him and walked away. "He seems nice but something about him doesn't seem right. He seems familiar, too." Raidou looked up at the sky. "Ah. Now I remember." Raidou's eyes turned serious. "Why is he here? If I'm not wrong, right now he should be… there."

"Nii-san!" Raidou looked at Tsuna running toward him.

"Yo, Tsuna. What's up?"

"I was wondering where you went for so long!"

"Sorry." Raidou rubbed the back of his head with a smile. "Well, let's get going back home, Tsuna." Then he walked passed Tsuna.

"Uh.. okay," Tsuna said. "Wait up."

"Why is that guy here?" Raidou whispered to himself.

"Huh?" Tsuna asked.

"Nothing," Raidou said with a smile. "Nothing at all."
