Chapter 2

The Past

It was Saturday. Tsuna was swinging on the playground alone as he watched several kids his age playing baseball. His eyes were set on a certain boy with short black hair that was the one that's going to bat next. He watched the pitcher threw the ball and the black haired kid swung the bat and the ball went flying very far.

"Eh? Yamamoto hit the ball too hard again." Said the boy pitched.

"Haha. Sorry 'bout that, I should learn to control myself next time." Said the black haired boy as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I'll go get it then." He said before running after the ball, leaving his playmates behind.

"Well, if it isn't 'Dame'-Tsuna." Tsuna snapped his head infront, eyes taking off from the running black haired boy, and coming face to face with his bullies.

"Uh- Umm… H-Hello M-m-mit-mitsuki-kun" He said cowering from his seat on the swing.

"Get out of there. We're swinging!" He snapped as he pointed Tsuna to go then back to his friends. So Tsuna did and ran fast away from the group but he could still hear them laughing at him. He ran fast t a random direction through town only to bump into someone.

"Oof!"

"Huh? Oh! I'M EXTREMELY SORRY!" Tsuna looked up to see a boy a little older than him with short white hair who looked a little bit concerned and offered him a hand to stand up which Tsuna took.

"Um T-thank you f-for he-helping me up and I-I'm so-sorry for b-bumping to you" Tsuna said timidly.

"IT'S EXTREMELY FINE, I BARELY FELT A THING. YOU SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NEXT TIME! WELL I SHOULD EXTREMELY GO! EXCUSE ME TO THE EXTRRRREEEEMMMMEEE!" said the white haired boy as he ran like there's no tomorrow.

Tsuna was again, left on his own decided to go to the park in the middle of town next to the market. He then sat under a shady tree and started to sing.

~Tetsu to hagane ja

Magaru, magaru, magaru,

Tetsu to hagane ja

Magaru, My fair lady~

~Kin to gin ja

Nusumareru, nusumareru, nusumare—

(AN: I don't own the song, it was from the anime 'Black Butler'.)

"HIIEE!"

Then, out of nowhere, a girl with pigtailed light brown hair pounced on poor Tsuna who was drawing on the ground using a stick.

"Yo-Ho-Ho. You've got a good voice there!" Tsuna blushed at the statement.

"I-It's n-not that g—" Tsuna was cut off when they heard some shuffling behind the tree Tsuna was. They looked back and saw a boy with short dirty brown hair emitting a dark aura.

"U-um"

"You just disrupted my peaceful reading just now." Said the boy

"S-sorry. I d-didn't see y-y-you there."

"Are? Chris?" said the girl

"Hmm" The boy, Chris turned his head towards the girl. "Eh? Miki? What are you doing here without a maid or a butler with you? Aunt Linda will be worried." Stated Chris which confused Tsuna.

"Like you're the one to talk." Said the girl, Miki with a half-hearted pout.

"W-wait. Y-you know each other?" asked Tsuna which gained the attention of the two.

"oh! Sorry I forgot you were still there. Gomenasai (:Japanese for Sorry)~" Chimed Miki

"I believe that we haven't introduced ourselves properly." Said Chris standing up. "Sorry, My name is Chris Itsuki and please call me Chris." He said formally.

"My name is Miki Ittoki~ you should call me Miki!" said Miki cheerfully. "How about you, what's your name?"

"H-huh?"

"We gave you our names so it's only proper to give us yours." Said Chris.

"O-oh. G-gomenasai. M-my n-n-name is S-Saw-wada T-Tsunay-yoshi but you c-can call m-me T-tsuna i-if you want." said Tsuna.

"Okay! Tsuna it is!" said Miki.

"Good. So I now declare you as my new friend,… T-Tu-T-Tsu-Tsuna." Said Chris

"Ne, ne Chris, you can't still get used to calling other peoples name without really stuttering it out." pointed Miki.

"That's beca—"

"BOCCHAAANNN (:Japanese for 'Young master')!~" called a tenor (:the highest tone of a male's speaking voice) voice which made Chris' eyes widen

"BOCCHAAAAMMMAAA (:also a Japanese for 'Young master')!~" called a soprano (:the highest tone of a female's speaking voice) voice which made Miki's eye widen too.

"Ahaha~ Sorry Tsuna but we have to go. See ya!" said Miki as she pulled Chris into a sprint.

"BYYYYYEEEE!" called Chris.

Then Tsuna was left alone sweatdropping as he watched the dust made by his new friends. It made him feel happy about it: the fact that he obtained friends for the day. Then he felt a light tap on his shoulder which made him turn around to see a maid and a butler which looked like they're on their early twenties.

"Um… sorry to disturb you sir but, have you seen a young girl at your age with light brown hair in a pigtail and a boy with short dirty brown hair?" asked the maid politely.

"Young Master left the household again without any permission. My masters will surely kill us when they find out that the Young Masters are out of our sight again." sighed the butler. Tsuna was then torn between two hard decisions 1) Will he tell them for their parents to stop worrying and saving their guardians from death? 2) He won't tell them for the sake of their friendship. Tsuna then chose the wiser choice and told them to where his new friends go. And he was then left alone again yet he can't really wipe the smile on his face.

The Present

Hiko's expression slowly became filled with a mixture of surprise and anger as he stared at the familiar brunette infront of him. "It's you!" he exclaimed roughly as he pointed his finger sharply towards the said brunette's direction. Tsuna smirked inwardly.

Reborn kicked Hiko on the side "Baka-Hiko, it's rude to point at someone." Tsuna would have raised a brow but resisted. He sighed 'I can tell he's still the same.'

Tsuna started, "I'm sorry but do I know you? 'coz if I do, I really don't remember when or where." he bowed a little, acting like well mannered person, "But putting that matter aside, My name is Nakatsukasa Tsunayoshi, pleasure to meet your acquaintance." he said with a small smile as he stretched out a hand for Hiko to shake.

Hiko glared at the hand before he swung his hand to slap it, "Don't play dumb on me you no-good pest!" Hiko shouted with malice. Tsuna flawlessly withdrew his hand away. Reborn would've kicked Hiko on the spot because of the rude gesture but decided to just observe the two.

"Hiko-chan! Mind your manners!" scolded Nana.

"But mom. He's Dame-Tsuna." Hiko said.

Reborn who was observing raised an eyebrow. 'Who's Dame-Tsuna?'

" .-chan.~" Nana sang too sweetly. Hiko visibly paled. Reborn and Tsuna felt a very cold sweat slide down their spine. Hiko, not wanting his mother enraged, forced out a fake model smile. He muttered an apology to Tsuna in which Tsuna just waved off.

"It's fine.(Whatever loser.*smirk* You can't even aim right)"

"Again I'm sorry(NOT!). I'm Tsunahiko Sawada(Die Dame-Tsuna)" Hiko said as he offered his hand, smirking. Tsuna took his hand and shook it. Hiko tightened his hold as Tsuna gave a look of indifference on the inside, 'Is that all, Baka-Hiko?.' Now it was Tsuna's turn to tighten his hold.

"AA—ahahaha, now let's be friends, Nakatsukasa-san( – Dame-Tsuna's going to pay for that.)" Hiko said annoyingly sweet as he tried to cover his scream. He also withdrew his hand away from Tsuna. Tsuna then turned to Reborn and bent over, "Saa, what's your name?"

"Hmph. Reborn."

"Ah. What an interesting name." said Tsuna gently before straightening himself up.

At the table~

Everyone were eating but there sure was a heavy tension hanging in the air. But Nana was too dense to notice, Tsuna was eating like nothing was wrong. It was Hiko who was having trouble, he seemed to be irritated and pissed at Tsuna whom he kept on looking(glaring) at. And Reborn was enjoying the one-sided silent battle, raising a brow here and there in amusement which was started by Hiko the moment his and Tsuna's eyes meet.

'Cut the act. I swear you're just fooling around.' –Hiko with a glare hidden from Nana's sight.

'Hm? What act?' –Tsuna just stared.

"Tsunayoshi-kun, would you like to have some more rice?" asked Nana kindly as Tsuna and Hiko's stare down paused for that moment. "No but thank you, Nana-san." Tsuna replied. "Oh, okay" Then she turned to face Hiko, "How about you Hiko-chan?". Tsuna smirked inwardly, 'Hiko-CHAN?' Hiko gave him a pointed look, "Thank you Mama, I'd like to have some more." He said taking the rice plate from his mother's hold. Using the rice plate as a shield from his mom's sight, they continued they stare(glare) off.

'Shut up. And you think I'm falling for this shit? Hell No!' –Hiko glared.

'Clearly I don't know what you're implying' –Tsuna countered with a 'confused' face.

'Stop lying you piece of Shit!' –Hiko's glare flared up.

'I assure you that I'm not lying. And please open your eyes, clearly even the stupidest person here on earth can deduce that I am human,, or maybe I am wrong, maybe the stupidest person cannot come to this conclusion and that person is you.' –Tsuna gave a look. Clearly he was starting to get annoyed. Hiko's eyes widened for a while before returning to a serious glare, 'Shut up! You think you can just say anything you like to me?!'

Reborn raised an eyebrow at this.

'What? I'm not saying anything.' –Tsuna rolled his eyes when Nana was a bite of the food.

'I said !' –Hiko's glare intensified.

'Hm.' –Tsuna hummed

Nana asked Hiko, "Hiko-chan, are you done?" Hiko turned to look at Nana with a smile and handed the rice over, "Thanks mama." "Welcome. Now I'll go get some more food." she said as she stood up and went to the kitchen. Then Hiko and Tsuna's eyes met again.

'You know, you're the one who started all this.' –Tsuna started

'DIE.' –Hiko glared as he took a bite from his chicken

'No I still want to live. I'm too young to die. How 'bout you, do you want to die?' –Tsuna tilted his head to the side a little. Hiko's grip on the chopstick tightened and if possible, his glare deepened more.

'What? I was just asking.' –Tsuna shrugged

'Fuck you.' -Hiko

'No thanks. I love my… innocence. Like I said I'm too young.' -Tsuna

'You're sick.' -Hiko

'No, I'm perfectly fine.' -Tsuna

Hiko stood up abruptly, "I'm full."

Tsuna just watched him stride out of the room like nothing happened.

And Reborn was smirking by the sidelines.

After lunch, Tsuna went on his merry way deep in thought, 'Hm, Nana-san sure has changed but Hiko's still the arrogant little beast he is.'

Nana was about to start cleaning when she remembered something "Oh yeah, I have to call Iemitsu and tell him what happened!" she exclaimed as she bounced towards the phone before sighing, 'Tsunayoshi-kun… They even have the same first name.' she thought sadly, 'Oh well, I'll just tell Iemitsu.'

Vongola meeting room

It was the annual meeting between the Vongola famiglia and the CEDEF. Both bosses were there in their boss mode. It was serious and the atmosphere was tens-

"Near~ Far~

Where^ver you are~"

Everyone turned their heads to a certain blonde man sitting beside the current Vongola boss. Iemitsu blushed and rejected the call before placing his phone back into his pocket but not before glaring accusingly at the offending device. He cleared his throat before muttering a small apology to everyone in the room.

Nono then decided to speak up "Alright where did we s-"

"Let it go, Let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go Let it go

Turn my back and slam the door"

Iemitsu was about to reject the call again when Timoteo stopped him. "I think it would be better if you pick up the phone." He said. Iemitsu nodded and excused himself and went to one of the corners of the meeting room. Everyone was silent as he answers the phone. Many yawned and stretched as they waited for the CEDEF leader.

After a few seconds…

"WWWHHHAAATTT?!" The whole room literally jump out of their seats on guard, their drowsiness left them completely. "Who?! What?! When?! Where?! How?!" exclaimed Coyote as he stood defensively infront of their boss. Then they all looked at Iemitsu with annoyed faces.

"Say That Again?!" At this point Iemitsu was almost hyperventilating. "ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod. I'm going there right now! *OMG! It's got to be him!" And at this point Iemitsu was already shaking the nearest person to him which was Timoteo.

"Are you done." It was not a question. It was a statement Timoteo said in a flat tone. And just then Iemitsu realized what he was doing so he let go of Timoteo before apologizing profusely. "OOOOOORRRRAAA!" His shirt was then grabbed downwards causing him to bend and come face to face with an angry scarred baby face, "What *slap* do *slap* you *slap* think *slap* you're *slap* doing *slap* !? *slap* We're *slap* in *slap* a *slap* meeting *slap* you *slap* idiot*slap*" The slapping and shouting just stopped when Nono placed his hand on Lal's shoulder. "That's enough Lal" he said and Lal let go reluctantly as Iemitsu flashed a thankful smile at Nono's direction. Nono cleared his throat. "So care to share the news?"

How the phone conversation was…

Iemitsu: Yes dear. I'm sorry but I'm in the middle of meeting right now.

Nana: Anata, could you listen for a moment?

Iemitsu: Anything for my beautiful wife. :3

Nana: Oh, stop it. =*W*=

Iemitsu: So what did you want to talk about?

Nana: I-I think he's back.

Iemitsu: WWWHHHAAATTT?!

Iemitsu: Say That Again?!

Nana: I think he's back. But he says that he's not Him. But they look so alike and they even have the same first name!

Iemitsu: ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod. I'm going there right now! *OMG! It's got to be him!

Nana: I know but-

The line was suddenly cut off.

Nana: ooooohhhhh, he didn't let me finish! Hmp! :/ *sigh* But oh well, he's coming home! \( *^o^)/
