Author's Note: This is just something I did for fun, and this was inspired by a song called Blackboard by Nano. I hope everyone who reads it enjoyed and if it gets good enough reviews I might expand and actually do full a full length story for it instead of a one-shot, so this is basically a test chapter so tell me if you really liked it.

One-shot = Katekyo Hitman Reborn = Hints of All27 (Really shows 1827) = Colorless World

Tsuna had seen the world as dull for years. It was almost as if everything was a shade away from being grey and everything seemed so boring. Nothing interests him anymore. Life was just a pain in the ass and Tsuna doubted anyone could make it interesting again. It was meaningless to try.

Everyone around him was annoying blurs in life that moved endlessly around him doing things he could not care less. It was an annoying situation and had always been since he could last remember. The first time he saw actually color in his life other than his own orange that leaked from his skin was in kindergarten. It was when he first met a child that was releasing a bright blue, almost flame like, substance. The boy and Tsuna seemed to get along well. Tsuna was intrigued by the boy's color and the boy seemed to enjoy being around Tsuna. Later on when they were a little older, Tsuna explained everything to Yamamoto and the boy just smiled at him acceptingly.

The second time color was added to Tsuna's life, he was quite surprised. He had not seen another person like that since he had become friends with Yamamoto years ago. So when he was walking home with Yamamoto after school when he was in middle school, he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the bright red flame blazing around a silver haired boy. The connection was made instantly as Tsuna went over to him. Tsuna smiled at the silver haired boy. "Hello."

The boy looked like he was going to hit Tsuna for a second which had Yamamoto moved in to stop him but Tsuna just put his arm out to stop his friend and then he smiled at the silver haired boy again. "My name's Sawada Tsunayoshi. It's nice to meet you."

The silver haired boy's attitude suddenly changed and he smiled at the smaller teen. "My name's Gokudera Hayato. I'm new here and I just moved from Italy."

Tsuna smiled and then took Gokudera's hand. "Then you should come over and hang out with me and Yamamoto at my house."

That day they accepted Gokudera into their group as if it was normal, he became one of them naturally. They all got along really well and Gokudera's color seemed to brighten up Tsuna's life even more, adding to his and Yamamoto's color.

The third color that entered his life was a little different from the first two. He refused to go near the other colors that stayed near Tsuna. The black haired teen would only tolerate being near Tsuna, which did not bother Tsuna that much as long he would stay with him. It was a purple flame that leaked from the black haired prefect's skin. Tsuna was happy that more color had finally come into his life. He liked being with Gokudera and Yamamoto but he also really liked the difference in Hibari's personality compared to everyone else. It was refreshing. Hibari looked at him from his chair in the disciplinary committee room. Tsuna smiled at him, "Are you free today, Hibari-san?"

Hibari nodded but just slightly. "Yeah."

That was all Tsuna needed to know and he smiled while waiting for Hibari to finish his work. When Hibari stood up Tsuna followed him out of the room. Once they were out of the school Hibari stopped walking. "What did you want?"

Tsuna took his hand recklessly earning a slight glare from the raven haired boy. "I wanted to talk to you."

Hibari squeezed his hand back gently and the glare reduced significantly. "About what?"

Tsuna lets his hand go. "About the colors."

Hibari smiled slightly. "Interesting, I've heard a little bit about it when walking in on you and your friends."

Tsuna pulled Hibari around until they had gone into a forested area and made sure no one could see them. After he was ready he held his hand out and created an orange flame that danced around on the palm of his hand. Hibari's eyes widened at the sight of the strange orange flame. It was beautiful. "What's that?"

Tsuna simply explained, "It's my color or it's what we call it. This is actually called a Dying will flame."

Hibari's hand drifted close to it and hovered near the flame. "It's so warm."

Tsuna smiled as Hibari watched, transfixed on the flame. "You can touch it if you want. If I don't want it to burn then it won't so it's safe."

Hibari touched the orange flame and moved his hand around in it. He smiled slightly as his expression softened. "It's really hot but not in a bad way."

Tsuna looked down and moved his hand pressing it against a small tree instantly turning the area surrounding where the flame touched into ash. That surprised Hibari. "So it's not as safe as you made it sound…"

Tsuna looked at his hand and his eyes dulled. "It's a weapon but only because I've trained myself and worked on mainly my flame control during training."

Tsuna took Hibari's hand making the taller boy jolt. The gentle touch after the flame disappeared made him relax. "Try to imagine a flame in your hand. Think of your resolve and use it to make the flame appear."

Hibari closed his eyes and focused. He felt the energy channel itself from within him. It did not take long for the purple flame to appear. Hibari took in the flame curiously. "Why is it such a strange color?"

Tsuna looked at his hand and formed his orange flame. "My dad's boss explained the basics of it to me in elementary school when my parents had gone out while he was watching me. He said that they are called flames of the sky and there are seven types altogether. Sky, Mist, Storm, Cloud, lightning, Sun, and Rain. Mine is the sky flame while you have the cloud flame. Each type of flame has a different color. My sky flame is recognized by an orange flame while your cloud flame is recognized by its purple colored flame."

After explaining everything Tsuna taught Hibari the basics of flame control and then he headed home. While he was walking home he saw a girl and a boy. He smiled at them. Both of them had the exact same hairstyle but what Tsuna noticed was how they both had bright indigo flames.

Tsuna ran over to them and started a conversation. "Hi." He could tell from the size and balance of the flames that they knew how to use it so when they gave him a weird look he held his hands out and released his flames so that they would be visible to human eyes. They both looked at him surprised. The girl spoke first. "You can use flames." Then the boy spoke right after her finishing her sentence, "and a rare type at that."

Tsuna smiled at how well they fit together. "So can both of you… You've both got mist flames right?"

A trident appeared in the boys hand as he pointed it at him, "How do you know that we can use mist flames? Were you spying on us."

Tsuna pointed to his eyes. "Through my eyes, all the colors in this world are dull. It's almost as if there aren't any colors left but when I run into someone with a really strong flame I can see it more vivid than anything else. Even without both of you using your flames I can see it coating your bodies completely as it seeps from your skin. I can even tell if you know how to control it or not by how balanced your flame is although this is my first time seeing a mist flame. It's really pretty."

The boy set the trident down and gave a unique chuckle. "What's your name?"

Tsuna smiled sweetly and held out a hand. "I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi. I live down the street. You?"

The boy smirked while shaking the outstretched hand. "My name is Rokudo Mukuro and this is Chrome Dokuro. We live over there. We just moved here yesterday."

Tsuna walked with them to their house to find out that they were the new people that moved in next door. They talked for a while about themselves and then the conversation turned towards flames.

They knew a lot more about them than Tsuna while Tsuna knew a lot of things that they did not so they all shared their information. When it was getting late, Tsuna finished the tea Chrome had brought him and then headed home. He told Mukuro that he would come back in the morning to talk again.

A few days later his father had returned home with a new child that would be coming to stay with them. Surprisingly, the child had a lightning flame that Tsuna had a hard time looking at. It was so big.

Tsuna could tell that Lambo was a very energetic child and he really enjoyed playing with the kid which was definitely surprising to everyone because Tsuna rarely enjoyed talking to other people. He usually would only accept certain people.

Tsuna chanced upon a boxing enthusiast named Ryohei but did not get too close to him. Actually he was closer to Ryohei's little sister Kyoko but Tsuna knew that he was not as close with Ryohei because he had the brightest of all the flames, the Sun. He was almost too bright for Tsuna to look at but Tsuna loved it. Ryohei shone like the sun and kept Tsuna's spirits up when he was sad. In return, Tsuna taught him how to use his sun flames and Ryohei became one of them. Honestly, if Tsuna had to explain it he would call their relationship special because even though they were not the closest, it was built on a very deep trust.

By the time Tsuna was in university, he had been told by his father that he was to be the next leader of the Vongola. His sky flames had become a much higher level then when he was in high school. All his friends ended up in the same university as him since they had become his guardians when his becoming of the Vongola Decimo had been announced.

Tsuna also learned how to switch back and forth his ability to see the flames off which changed his eye sight back to that of a normal person, meaning that color returned to how it would be for a normal person's eyes.

While his eyes had been the reason he met his friends, he had never wanted to treat them as different. They were stronger now than ever before. He learned that back then he could only see people who were meant to be his guardians but once he was named as successor of Vongola by the rings, he had become able to see everyone's flames.

He loved the flames because they brought him and his friends together even when he was alone by himself when he was little. They saved him by bringing him friends. He understood what the sky was now more than before. The sky was a flame that accepted everyone and the sky is what allowed all the other flames to exist freely.

"I am here to make everyone of my friends free, to give them the freedom they all want and deserve. I love my eyes and I love my flames because now my life is no longer colorless."
