CHAPTER 1: The Start

October 12, 2002

They say people in this world are born to be with someone. This someone is their personal match and the only one who can give him/her happiness. People often refer them as their soul mate- the other part of their soul.

I wonder if I'd ever meet mine...

Someday, I hope that I can meet the one person fated to be with me.

Sincerely,

TSUNA

I closed my orange journal with a soft thud after reading the entry I had written exactly 5 years ago and looked at the time...6:45 AM. It's raining cats and dogs outside which is very unusual for summer season. I thanked God because it's a Saturday, and Saturday means a weekend which means NO CLASSES. I plopped back into my white king size bed with light orange covers and willed myself to go back to sleep despite the heavy downpour outside. It's just normal for people to like going back to sleep when it's raining right?

Unluckily, bad luck must have taken a good liking to me because before I knew it, a certain devi..I mean lady with blue shoulder length hair opened my bedroom door and took away my precious covers.

"Tsunayuki Sawada, for God's sake wake up and get ready, or I'll let you run an additional 20 laps".

Those words are not alien to my ears and as fast as the speed of light I was already in the bathroom and getting ready for a new day of tortu..I mean training.

I haven't introduced myself right?

By the way my name is Tsunayuki Sawada or Tsuna for short. I'm 16 years old going 17 in two days time and is currently a 2nd year high school student of Italia Alta Scuola Nazionale- the most prestigious school in the country. Just by the name you can guess that I am currently residing here in Italy specifically in Sicily. Although I am in Italy, I am a full Japanese but due to certain things I have to stay here in Italy.

I have a long wavy brown hair which reaches my waist and also have hazel brown eyes. I stand at 165 cm and weighs 40 kg. I am currently living with my adopted father's friends and in return I joined their organization and they say I'm very good at it.

The truth is my adopted father is a high general of a Mafia Family named VONGOLA. However, although a mafia family, the Vongola Famiglia is different. Only stating this name will bring comfort, security, and admiration to the people protected by the Famiglia; and terror, shivers, and nervousness to those who dare to be their enemy. The Vongola Famiglia is the greatest and the number one Famiglia in the whole world and their riches are comparable to no one.

"Hurry up Tsuna...we still have a lot to do before 10AM", a male voice shouted.

You must be wondering who they are...

I am actually living with 8 people known as the Arcobaleno. They are part of the Vongola family and are more powerful than the generals and one of the groups directly under the Vongola Boss.

The person who woke me up earlier is known as Lal Mirch, she is known as the Snow Arcobaleno. She is quite a hot-headed person and will soften to only a few people namely the other Arcobalenos, the Vongola guardians and boss, and me. Lal-nee, as I call her works on one of the branch companies of the Vongola which is known as COMSUBIN- the training center for the military force of the Vongola. She and Colonello is a couple although they sometimes quarrel. Well they say the one you hate is the one you love.

The male who told me to wake up is Colonello, also known as the Rain Arcobaleno. He is also one of the heads of the COMSUBIN. He has short dirty blonde hair and always wears a green army bandana on his forehead. He is a happy go lucky guy and loves Lal-nee so much. I call him Colonello-nii.

"Good morning Tsuna, had a good nap?", another male with Chinese descendance greeted me as I came down from the stairs.

"Fortunately yes, Fon-niisan but Lal-nee force me to wake up again", I answered with a pout on my face which caused the certain male to laugh. Fon, the Storm Arcobaleno is a person of peace and tranquillity. He is a master of different kinds of martial arts. He and Mammon seem to be a couple...but none of them confessed yet although it really is so obvious.

"Health is necessary for one's wellbeing Tsuna, so you must come here and start eating your breakfast already especially the vegetables because they provide vitamins and minerals necessary for one to be...", Verde-nii's explanation of scientific stuff continued while all eight of us went to our respective seats in the table. Verde-nii is known as the Lightning Arcobaleno, and is a man of intelligence and science. He always sprouts scientific trivias and continues to preach the importance of science to everyone he sees. He is a genius scientist and is one of the head of the Research and Science Department of the Vongola. Verde-nii always wears a laboratory coat wherever he goes.

"My, my I wonder how much I can earn if I sell the foods made by Luce to the public, they are pure heaven", a certain female wearing a dark hood said while the foods were being served namely-omelette, salad, bread, ham, and hotdogs and a few others too complicated to be named.

Living to the name of mystery, the Mist Arcobaleno, Mammon is a person of great animosity. No one really knows what's under the hood except for the Arcobalenos, Vongola Boss and his guardians, and of course me. Mammon-nee is a person who values money a lot and always find ways to earn it. She and Fon look so good together and all of us volunteered to be their secret matchmakers.

"Well thank you for the compliment but my cooking is only exclusive to the people I am close with", a green haired woman with an orange flower tattoo in her face said. Her name is Luce, but I call her Luce-nee. She is the mother figure of the group because of her motherly aura and she is also known as the Sky Arcobaleno. She and Reborn are married and she is currently 6 months pregnant.

"Tsuna where are you going today?" a violet haired man asked me while munching some bread.

"I'm going to the Headquarters for the first time today Skull-nii", I replied. Skull is known as the Cloud Arcobaleno and is the youngest of all the Arcobalenos. He is an adventurous man who always rides his bike and is also a gifted tactician.

"You're going alone?" Luce-nee asked me with a tone of worrying.

"Don't worry, I'll be accompanying her. I have a scheduled meeting with the Vongola Guardians", a man wearing a black suit and a fedora arrived and gave Luce-nee a kiss and ruffled my hair.

"Good morning, Reborn-nii. Thank you for accompanying me today", I said and smiled at him while he seated right next to Luce-nee. Reborn-nii is known as the Sun Arcobaleno and is the strongest of them all. He is also very protective to Luce-nee and me. Reborn-nii seems to be a stoic and cold-hearted man to others but to those who know him, he is actually someone who is caring and protective.

Our seating arrangement happens to be like this- Luce-nee is always sitting at the head of the table. At her left is Reborn-nii, Fon-nii, Mammon-nee, and Verde-nii. At her right is me, Skull-nii, Lal-nee, and lastly Colonello-nii.

The people known as the Arcobaleno are not ordinary people. Lal and Colonello are excellent military instructors, Verde is said to be a scientist who can make the impossible possible, Fon is a martial artist who can make even a single move deadly, Skull is said to be immortal and develops good tactics, Mammon conjures high class illusions, Luce can see and predict the future, and Reborn is a the world's number one hit man and is somewhat perfect in every way- however he is a very bad cook.

I never knew that this day would be the start of the something new in my life...
