"Tsu-kun!"

Tsuna looked back at his worried mother, a nervous smile found its way onto his face. He was leaving home. He was going to claim his rightful place as Vongola heir. The day the messenger came, he packed some things, reluctantly, with some encouragement from his mother. But to be honest, he didn't want to go. He was scared shit-less. But he was the only possible heir, and his mother looked so happy to know her little Tsuna had strength deep down in his little heart. Still Tsuna was a little nervous about getting there on foot, apparently it was part of the heir initiation. Which meant he's be alone... in the woods... where monsters and bandits, and other scary things belong. Tsuna started to tremble. He didn't want to be attacked or eaten or anything like that! He wanted to live! He was brought out of his train of thought by his mothers words.

"I believe in you!" Her facial features changed to one of happiness. It was the exact same expression she had on when rice was on sale. "Don't forget Mama packed some dried fruit in the little side pocket!"

Tsuna wilted a bit, but nodded, before shakily continuing his trudge to his Grandfathers.

'Dear God, why is this happening to me?'

Tsuna peered up at the starry sky, and back down at the crumpled map in his shaking hands. It was freezing tonight, and he didn't exactly know where he was. He planned on stopping at an inn, but he only passed by one. Some old woman was the keeper and she kept on hitting him with a wooden spoon hollering something along the lines of "You little turd! Next time you run all over my petunias I'll cut your-" and that's when he started to to say he wasn't frightened of inns or old ladies was quite the understatement. But that aside, Tsuna knew he'd be in trouble if he didn't find refuge soon.

Grwwwl.

Tsuna groaned at his empty stomach. Last time he ate was early this morning... it was probably approaching midnight now. The teen searched for a non-suspicious looking rock, and finally; when he found one, settled down on it. He sighed in relief, happy to be resting his tired feet and rummaged through the nap sack. For a small backpack it certainly held alot of things. He sifted through the contents; boxers, socks, little bag of money, toilet paper, extra clothes, a sleeping bag, water, toothbrush...wait..water? Tsuna tugged the bottle from beneath everything else, the cool canteen looked glorious in his eyes. He unscrewed the cap and drank a bit, bathing in the refreshing taste. He then put it back in bag and thought hard on where the food was.

...

Side pocket!

He pulled out a hefty bag of dried apricots, raisins and other fruit, before tearing into the bag causing bits of fruit to fly everywhere. He shoveled the food down, clumsily missing his mouth a few times. But it was okay, because Tsuna was full. Sighing contently he proceeded to pack up everything.

Tweet.

Tsuna jumped. "Hi-Hi-?" He opted for throwing in all his stuff rather than arranging it neatly. He was a little startled by the random chirping since it was night and birds usually came out and chirped in the morning.

Tweet.

"Ahh!" There it was again! Tsuna fumbled with the straps of his bag trying to get them on his shoulders before the evil night man-eating bird; or so he thought; came to eat him.

Like ghost fingers, he felt something on his head, afraid for his life, he sprinted hard, though the thing still had contact with his head. He shook his head, hard, actually getting dizzy and tripping over his own feet. He fell to the floor in awkward position on his back, his head knocking itself against the paved road. Darkness seeped into his eyesight. It was over for him. The monster would eat him. But at least he wouldn't feel himself being eaten. Not that that really made things better, he was still going to die...

'Dame Tsuna...'

Tsuna cracked open his eyes, the intruding sunlight burned. He rolled over onto his side, shuffling deeper into the sheets. What he assumed were his mothers cold fingers; probably from washing the dishes, pocked at his head. He shook them away, groaning into the pillow. Sadly, his mother continued to pock at his head, this time harder than before, and it was getting a little difficult to ignore.

"Mmmm, Mama, just 10 more minutes..." He pleaded halfhearted, still embraced in the thralls of slumber.

The poking went away. Tsuna smiled.

"I'm not your mother, herbivore."

That deep voice definitely didn`t belong to his mother. Perhaps he hit his head to hard...Oh that's right, he hit his head...so, does that mean he's in heaven? God doesn't call people herbivore... Tsuna gasped into the pillow, pulling himself upright. this couldn`t be happening! Could he really be...?

"I'm in HELL!"

Thwack!

Now he knew he was in hell. Tsuna clutched at his throbbing head, tears forming in the corner of his eyes. "I-I don't know why I'm here! If this is because of that old lady, I promise, I never stepped on he petunias! So ple-".

"Foolish herbivore, I will bite you to death and send you to hell." came the now aggravated voice.

"Foolish! Foolish!" A little, familiar tweet followed after the words.

Tsuna turned around and was faced with a yellow ball of fluff. "...Evil Night Man-eating Bird..." Now he felt stupid. The little ball blinked at him before calling Tsuna foolish again. The teen laughed aloud at himself. "Dame Tsuna..." he mumbled, smiling to himself. Then the small tuft of yellow floe away, he followed it to find a man. A very scary looking man, perched on the windowsill, one leg over the other, glaring. The brunette flinched at the cold looks. He opened his mouth to say something but the man stood, two things...or rather three, being revealed as well.

"Y-You're a-a Cat man!"

******TBC*****

Yeeeeeeah, I should be sleeping or reading or something that doesn`t involve me actually putting in any effort. So I know the beginning of this chapter just made you wanna fall asleep, did that to me too. But uh, it got better didn't it? Lawlz, I tried not to rush into it. But i couldn't help myself because I thought of an idea as to how I'm going to incorporate all of the Vongola in here. Originally I wanted Reborn to be in this chapter and Hibari the next, buuut I want them to endure a bunch of crap tooogether! Without Reborn beating the crap out of Tsuna all the time. But Reborn will still be in this fic, just more-so later on. Veeery later on.

Yes, Hibari is a kitty. I'm sorry it's just so awesome when he's a cat cuz then he has twice the utility to rape Tuna with. Isn't that woooonderful! Lawlz no, this is gonna stay T sorry yaoi fans. :D I just don`t think I can handle writing the manluvin'. Did it before... but then spazzed when someone who doesn't know me very well found it...

OOOOKAY, so I'm rambling and will stop riiight now.

You love me :'D
