Isolated, Till Now

From down the hall, Clara shook her head while smiling as she heard Tsuna's exclamation. "You are so childlike despite being a thirteen year old. Well, you still are young so I guess it's fine."

"Come in," Tsuna called out as a knock was sounded on his door. His eyes widened as he noticed that the figure was of a small child that looked around two years old. There was a fedora-or at least he guessed it was-on top of the baby's head. "Anata ga dare?"

The baby smirked-his curly sideburns moving with him as he walked towards the blind boy on the hospital bed. "Ciaossu! My name is Reborn. I'm here to train you to be the next Vongola Boss." Reborn's eyes widened slightly as he noticed that Tsuna's eyes were a bright sun set orange color with specks of gold.

"Von...gola?" Tsuna mumbled.

Reborn nodded. "Yes. It's a mafia family."

"Vongola means clam in Italian. Why have a mafia family named after clams?" Tsuna asked.

"You'd have to ask Vongola Primo for the answer," Reborn chuckled. "Come. We're taking you out of this hospital to your home."

Tsuna shook his head. "Reborn. The hospital is my home."

Reborn looked at Tsuna and saw he wasn't lying. "What about your mother Nana? Isn't she worried about you?"

"No," Tsuna responded as he looked down at his lap. "She isn't, nor will she ever."

Reborn stared at Tsuna questionably. "Tell me why."

Tsuna shook his head. "Save it for another day. For now, am I really going to be able to go outside?"

'I'll gather info later,' Reborn thought as he replied, "Yes. Have you at least been keeping up with school?"

"Well, Clara has been helping with my studies. Um, I'm not really sure at what grade level we're studying right now though," Tsuna answered. "I could ask her."

Reborn shook his head. "We'll learn when you take the exam for Namimori Middle School."

Tsuna tilted his head. "But how will I do that Reborn? I mean, I'm blind and I can only see faint figures which I consider a great gift but will it allow me to pass the test?"

"You know how to read brail right?' Reborn questioned to which Tsuna nodded to. "Then we'll just change the test to brail then."

Tsuna smiled a bright smile. 'I'm going to the outside world!'

"Herbivore," a raven haired male said-narrowing his onyx eyes. "You are not a student of Namimori Middle School and closing your eyes while walking. I'll bite you to death." The male took two tonfas out from nowhere and ran forward to Tsuna.

"H-HIEE!" Tsuna squealed as he dodged a tonfa. "M-Matte! I'm a new student Mister! I finished my exam just two days ago!"

The male stopped and got out of his fighting stance. "Name, herbivore."

"Sawada Tsunayoshi."

"Hm," the boy hummed. "So you are the student that got full remarks on the exam. Follow me."

"Shikashi," Tsuna began as the boy turned back to him. "I'm blind Mister and you never introduced yourself."

The male frowned. "You'll have difficulty in class then. Well, the teacher will solve it. Just follow the sound of my foot steps then herbivore."

Tsuna nodded as he listened intently to Hibari's quiet foot steps. He jumped a bit when Hibari slammed the sliding door open.

"H-Hibari-san," the teacher Nezu stuttered. "H-How may I help you?"

'Hibari-san?' Tsuna thought before his brain clicked. "Ah! The Hibari-san that is respected a lot at the hospital!"

Hibari raised an eye brow at Tsuna's exclamation before shaking his head and turning to Nezu. "He's your new student." With that, Hibari left the teacher with the blind boy behind to go to the Reception Room.

Nezu cleared his throat and looked at Tsuna and smirked a bit inwardly. "Hello. My name is Nezu and I'll be your teacher. Please introduce yourself."

Tsuna nodded as he walked inside the room and turned.

"You are facing the black board," Nezu stated as the class laughed at him.

"Ah, gomen," Tsuna apologized. "I'm blind and can't see much."

That caused everyone to stop laughing while Nezu looked shocked. Tsuna smiled brightly as he faced his class mates.

"Konichiwa! Boku no namae Sawada Tsunayoshi but you can call me Tsuna for short!"

Everyone gasped at the bright smile but also at Tsuna's open eyes that shimmered brightly.

"Wow, he has amazing eyes," a girl whispered in awe.

"Do you think they're fake?" another mumbled.

"Looks pretty real to me," a male responded.

Tsuna heard the murmuring. "Oh, my eyes. Yes, they're real and not contacts. Apparently to the doctors, I used to have brown eyes like my mother at birth but some weird occurrence happened and my eyes turned to this bright orange color. I can't really tell since-you know I can't see."

Nezu coughed. "Sawada will sit by-."

He was interrupted by many hands going in the air.

"Yes?"

"I want Tsuna to sit by me!" the people shouted.

'I thought he was going to be a victim of my and the student bullying but apparently not,' Nezu inwardly growled. "Yamamoto please guide Tsuna to the empty seat beside you."

A midnight haired male nodded as his dark brown eyes staring at Tsuna. "Yo! Watashi no namae Yamamoto Takeshi!"

Tsuna smiled. "Konichiwa Yamamoto-san!"

Yamamoto was taken back by the pure and sincere smile but returned it with his own genuine smile.

"Who cooked that?" Yamamoto asked Tsuna who was eating a delicious looking bento.

Tsuna smiled brightly. "Clara did! She said it was to congratulate me for getting into school!'

Yamamoto had a confused look. "Who's Clara and why congratulate?"

"Well, Clara is the nurse that mostly looks after me and the congrats is because this is the first school I'm actually going to!" Tsuna exclaimed.

"Then how'd you do so good in the exam?" Yamamoto asked.

"Clara tutored me!" Tsuna answered. "Except now I have a new tutor named Reborn."

"Ciaossu," a voice we all know greeted.

"Reborn!" Tsuna said in surprise. "You decide to come out of your hiding spot now?"

Reborn shrugged and stole some of Tsuna's bento. Yamamoto chuckled as Tsuna yelled at Reborn and picked up his chopsticks. He picked up a pieces of his sushi and put into Tsuna's bento.

"Eh?" Tsuna asked.

"You can have some." Yamamoto grinned. "I have too much anyway!"

Tsuna nodded. "Thanks Yamamoto-san!"

Yamamoto once again gave Tsuna a genuine smile. 'I think I gained a true friend today.'

'So Tsuna got Yamamoto Takeshi to smile genuinely,' Reborn thought. 'Tsuna just may be the key to fix Vongola and repair it to Primo's expectations.' He hid a small smile behind his tipped fedora.

"Hn," Hibari murmured as he read Sawada Tsunayoshi's file.
Mother: Sawada Tsunayoshi
Father: Sawada Iemetsu
Siblings: None
Blood Type: A
Weight: 46.5 kg

Date of Birth: October 14
Past:...

Hibari's eyes widened at Tsuna's record and he growled. 'So the herbivore has gone through that huh?' Setting the file back into the cabinets he looked at the paper work on his desk. "Stupid lazy herbivore teachers and principal."

"Sayonara!" Tsuna waved good bye to Yamamoto as he walked into the hospital. It was decided that Tsuna would stay at the hospital since he had no home outside of it.

Yamamoto smiled as he ran home. He entered TakeSushi and his father Tsuyoshi noticed the large smile plastered on his son's face. A genuine smile that surprised him-his own father.

"Did something good happen today Takeshi?" Tsuyoshi asked.

Yamamoto looked at his father and nodded. "Un! I made a new friend!"

Tsuyoshi smiled at his son as Takeshi ran up to his room and yelled, "I'll come back down later to help you with the shop!"

Tsuyoshi shook his head as he continued to work on making sushi.

Reborn watched his student as Tsuna lit his sky flames. They were in a clearing of the forest where a waterfall was. The sun was still high in the sky as it shined down on them. 'Did Tsuna have practice before meeting me? He seems to know what he is doing. Not only that, but he went into Hyper Dying Will Mode without a pill and surpassed Dying Will Mode.'

Tsuna watched as the green chameleon on Reborn's head scrambled over to Tsuna.

"Ara?" Tsuna asked as Leon sat in the palms of his hand.

Reborn watched curiously as Leon glowed and made mitts appear underneath him. After that, Leon scrambled back onto Reborn's fedora. Tsuna looked at the gloves and slipped them on. Once they were on completely, the gloves changed into black leather gloves with silver metal on it. On the back of his palm was a big white X.

"X-Gloves," Tsuna whispered as his flames enveloped both of his gloves. "Ne, Reborn. Have you heard of the Vindice?"

"Of course," Reborn responded. "How do you know of them?"

Tsuna shook his head and smiled. "I just heard them, that's all."

Reborn looked at Tsuna suspiciously but let it go as he continued his training with Tsuna. "Now, climb up the rocks beside the waterfall while sustaining your flames."He watched as Tsuna did the task spoken to him without a complain. Reborn narrowed his eyes as he saw how graceful Tsuna was. 'That's strange. For a blind boy, Tsuna has an unnatural grace as if he's done this before. Not only that, but he seems to know more than he lets on.'

"What do I do now?" Tsuna shouted from the top-snapping Reborn out of his thoughts.

'He's quick as well,' Reborn thought once more before responding, "Jump down from there and use your flames to support yourself when you almost touch ground."

Tsuna nodded as he jumped down from the waterfall. He activated a soft flame that slowed down his speed. Soft thumps were made as his feet fell onto the ground.

He watched as Reborn had a calculating gaze on him.

"Have you ever done this before?" Reborn asked out of the blue.

Tsuna was a bit shocked but replied, "Yes."

"When?"

"I cannot tell."

"And why is that?"

"They told me not to."

'They?' Reborn thought. "Alright. Now, run around Namimori seven times before running to the hospital and you can get ready for bed."

Tsuna turned and noticed that the sun was almost down. He began to run before Reborn stopped him. "Without your flames."

"Oh," Tsuna said as he was about to begin but stopped and tilted his head towards Reborn. "A side note. I can actually see when I'm in Hyper Dying Will Mode. So should I keep some of my flames or erase it all?"

Reborn sighed at the new info. "You should have told me earlier Dame-Tsuna. Keep a small amount of your flames then so you can see. Is there anything else I need to know?"

"Um," Tsuna began while thinking. "I've had five years of training like this before I came back to the hospital four years ago." With that, Tsuna ran away as Reborn walked back to the hospital.

"Oh? Reborn where is Tsuna?" Clara asked. They had met and Clara was glad that someone was allowing Tsuna the chance to get out of the hospital.

"He's running around. Tell me what happened to Tsuna while he stayed in the hospital. Tell me everything," Reborn demanded.

Clara sighed. "You see, when Tsuna was born, he had brown eyes and perfect eye sight. Something happened to Tsuna's eyes while in the room. It caused a bad reaction causing him to go blind and we noticed that Tsuna's eyes turned into the color it is now. Tsuna's mother, Nana, was told that her son died after birth by someone-we still don't know who. I was disgusted by how stupid the woman was to not think that the person was lying. The hospital took care of Tsuna after that but nine years ago, we lost Tsuna while he was traveling outside. We don't know what happened but he came back five years later and apologized to us all for making us worry. The hospital kept him isolated then so no one would take him again and Tsuna complied to it because he doesn't want us to worry again. That's all I know. Sorry I can't give much."

Reborn shook his head. "No. You've given a lot of info that others do not have. Can you tell me who the doctor who helped give birth to Tsuna is."

"I can't," Clara responded. "The man died two years ago."

Reborn growled inwardly but bowed to Clara. "I thank you for the info."

Clara nodded. As Reborn was about to walk away Clara grabbed him. "Yes?"

"Make sure that Tsuna stays safe. Despite smiling I know he hides his pain," Clara pleaded. "Tsuna he-...He needs to have care for or I'm scared he's going to break so please do take care of him...I don't want to lose Tsuna once again."

Reborn nodded and walked away after Clara let him go. 'You have a secret past that has yet to uncover. You have a five year gap in your life that none but you and the people it involved knows. You have a hidden pain behind that bright and genuine smile that is in the deepest part of your soul. Will you reveal it all in time, Sawada Tsunayoshi?'
