Chapter 12

A few days later, Tsuna was able to go home and upon arriving saw another new addition to the family. He deduced that this boy was Fuuta. The family once again was having dinner and Tsuna had been watching them from the hallway. It was as though he was looking at them through a looking glass.

Ienari and his mother looked so happy. Without him…

Tsuna shook his head and went straight to his room. He was tired and he could never sleep in the hospital beds.

He didn't notice Reborn's curious gaze or Fuuta's wandering eyes.

It was a Saturday and after a few days of rest, Tsuna gathered his school supplies and left for school. He didn't want to fall behind again and had actually managed to do the sheets his teachers gave him. Maybe he would get some of them right.

As usual he stayed until late, and the sun was setting by the time he was going home. Tsuna was tired but satisfied as he did in fact get most of the questions right, in all his subjects, even his teachers had been surprised.

He was passing Namimori Park when he saw a familiar figure on the swings. It was Fuuta. Tsuna contemplated on whether or not he would go up to the boy, but since it was getting late, he decided to going home with the boy would be safer for him.

"Ano… Fuuta-kun?" Tsuna asked nervously. The boy jumped slightly but relaxed when he saw who it was. Was he waiting for someone?

"It's getting late, aren't you going home? Mama will worry if you're not home soon-"

Fuuta began crying. It was so sudden that Tsuna jumped back in surprise.

"HIE! Fuuta-kun! Are you alright? I didn't mean to-"

"I knew it!" Fuuta sobbed, "I don't want to go with them! I want to stay with MAMA!"

Tsuna narrowed his eyes but began calming Fuuta down and offered him a tissue. Once he stopped crying, Tsuna asked him:

"Who are you waiting for Fuuta?"

The boy flinched and sighed.

"A group of people from Kokuyou want me to go with them…"

"Why?"

"Because of my ability!" He began crying again, "They said if I didn't go with them, that- that they'd hurt Mama!"

Tsuna didn't say anything but waited for Fuuta to calm down.

"Fuuta, if you don't want to go then you don't need to go."

"But Maman will-"

"Mama will be just fine. You believe in Ienari, right."

"Y-yeah!"

*Clap**Clap*Clap*

"Oya, oya. Fuuta-kun, I thought I told you not to bring anyone with you. You wouldn't want your precious Mama to get hurt now would you?"

Tsuna didn't turn around and kept his eyes strictly on Fuuta.

"Fuuta."

The boy had begun to panic but looked up suddenly when Tsuna called his name.

"When I tell you to, you will run home and don't look back okay? Tell Reborn that somethings happened okay?"

"D-demo. What about you?"

"I'll deal with them."

"Sawada-san!"

"Did he just say Sawada-pyon?" One of the Kokuyou members asked.

"Oya, oya. Are you perhaps the Decimo, Sawada Ienari?"

"What do you want from us?" Tsuna said finally turning to face the group.

One of them had spikey blonde hair and a scar going across his face. The man that had just spoke had mismatched eyes and a weird pineapple hairstyle. The last member held a yoyo in his hand and had a strange barcode underneath his eye.

"Well this makes things easier."

And as the man lunged forward Tsuna screamed for Fuuta to run, barely dodging the attack Tsuna heard a cry and looked up.

Fuuta had been caught and the man with mismatched eyes stared at him, grinning.

"You're ill aren't you?"

"How can you tell? I still haven't recovered from my cold."

"You're body moves strangely. Not that it matters, we'll have time to talk later."

Mukuro wasted no more time after that and Tsuna was unconscious within seconds. But even then all he could only think about was that he hadn't informed his mother that he wouldn't be home tonight.
