Dame-Exorcist and His Supernatural

Summary: Because oddly enough even if Tsuna might be the lowest in class and the most unsuitable to exorcist supernatural beings, he could easily tame even the most dangerous and hostile creature. Thus, unexpectedly finishing his missions with flying colors...

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR or any anime/manga/movies/books you guys may found familiar in this story. I only own my plot and I'm officially having the worst writer's block of my life so I'll just write what I want... I'll get back in my old stories when I stopped getting writer's block. Also, in drabble series and not in order. They are still connected, though.

1. Acheri

Tsuna stared at the innocent-looking spirit before him. He had been sent by his academy, True Cross Academy, to investigate the unusual cases of disease and illness spreading among many children and few adults. He had been instructed to eliminate any supernatural beings if they were the cause.

It was an easy job...or at least, it seemed like one at first.

Honey-brown eyes flashed in uncertainty and hesitation of what he should. He had investigated thoroughly for almost three days by now and had found out the cause of it.

However, he didn't expect such a frail and pale spirit would do something terrifying like causing harm to others by just casting her invisible shadow over innocent sleeping victims.

"Were you the one who had spread the disease and illnesses?" he asked, gaping like a fish when the female spirit burst into tears, which was impossible as she was a ghost for Kami's sake!

"I-pin's sorry! I-pin didn't know she was doing something bad!"

...what the heck?

2. Amulet

Looking at the small figure hiding in the tree, the young brunet thought that new boy named Enma was a rather shy boy and he wondered why the older boy liked to stay in the dark corners.

Tsuna had originally wanted to be friends with the other since he was one of the few people, who didn't make fun of him or hit him but he felt something strange from the latter. There were also times when he felt the other's sharp glance on him. His red eyes also seemed to glow and his skin started paling.

Maybe he was sick? The innocent boy concluded and turned worried for his classmate. Then, he smiled when he had idea on what to do.

He went through his father's secret room and grabbed the strange-looking amulets in one of the boxes. He had seen them once and his mother always told him that amulets were used to make people healthy and happy again. She also mentioned about them being good luck charms.

He figured that the amulets would be useful to his red-haired classmate so he wanted to give them to him.

Being excited at what he was going to do, he went to school with a big smile and waited for recess time. He looked for Enma and walked towards the lone boy with the amulets.

"Here!" he presented them proudly but he frowned when he only received silence.

The pale boy seemed to be trying to gather himself before he started with an oddly older tone, "You...how did you find out-"

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Tsuna realized that his concern might be wrong because the other wanted to hide his sickness. "Did you want to hide that you're sick? I'm sorry! I thought that you needed help so I looked for these amulets..."

"You wanted to help me? You thought I was sick...," there was a strange tone in Enma's voice but Tsuna ignored it and the weird sensation that was telling him to get away. Why did he have to move away from his classmate?

His face as red as his hair, the other boy accepted the amulets and gave a small smile. He seemed to have flinched when his hand touch the amulet but maybe the brunet was just imaging it.

"Thanks, Tsuna-kun."

The said boy blinked. He didn't know that the other knew his name since he was pretty sure this was their first conversation.

3. Ankou

"You want me to what?!"

Tsuna was forever grateful for Kawahira-san for trying to train him to be an exorcist when everyone in True Cross Academy had already given up on him but the other was certainly demanding the impossible things at times.

"It's really simple, Sawada-kun," the old man took a sip in his tea as he sat comfortably on a chair in the middle of the room. "I only want you to summon Death and make him your familiar so that I will pass you with flying colors."

"That's impossible! It's Death!" the brunet pointed out what the other was clearly missing. "You do not try to encounter or summon Death. It's like a declaration of suicide! I'll die!"

"Anyway, I already set up circle," Kawahira stood up and dragged the protesting boy. He continued to set up all the necessary things for summoning Death. "You only need to chant the spell and give a drop of your blood. Don't worry. Death wouldn't really kill anyone unless it's their time."

"Stop ignoring me, Kawahira-san! I don't want to do this!"

"I'll give you a one month supply of cakes," the sly man baited, knowing the other's weaknesses by heart and hid a smirk when Tsuna's determined refusal deflated. "Two months..."

"Four months?" the student knew that he was being tricked again but he couldn't help it. He was addicted to cakes and though, normally, he would love to listen to his rational mind. This was cake and he would never refuse that.

"Five months, deal?"

"Deal. Please hand me the spell book, Kawahira-san."

No more thinking. Five months supply of cakes had truly won him over. He wouldn't waste that opportunity. He ignored the realistic voice of his, which told him that he wouldn't be able to eat those cakes when he died by summoning Death.

"Death, who lives somewhere in the universe! Oh sacred, beautiful and strong familiar spirit! I desire and here, I plead from my heart! Answer to my guidance!" Tsuna chanted the words in the book and frowned, not liking the words he had said. They had seemed edited in his opinion and his intuition was tingling.

His honey-brown eyes glanced at the light, expecting to see the stereotype Death. Only to get the shock of his life when he had someone else entirely...or maybe he's outdated and this was the new look of the dark spirit.

A figure stood on the beaming light with whole body bandaged from head to toe, wearing a black-robed costume and a large hat that had almost concealed his face. And instead of the famous huge scythe as a weapon, he saw multiple of chains around the summoned spirit.

"Who are you?" the teen shivered in fear at the intensity and malice of the voice. He felt the cold darkness suffocating his whole body and his breath worsened. He could only suffer at the heavy presence in stiffness and silence. "Why have you summoned me?"

"I suggest that you tone down your aura, Bermuda," Kawahira advised, noticing the effect on the younger boy. "I wouldn't want my apprentice to suffer due to unnecessary reasons."

What the hell?! Tsuna really wanted to scream at the world because the situation should seriously not be possible. His mentor had mysteriously known the real name of Death and said spirit glared furiously at him, obviously holding a grudge.

I really feel like crying. Because that was exactly what the brunet wanted... He didn't care if it was pathetic for boys like him to cry over something like that. He really just couldn't help it. He was scared as fuck. A cake would really be nice right now.

Bermuda took notice of the shivering and fearful student and sneered in distaste. "Exorcist," he spat the word in hatred and intensified his glare. "What are you planning now? I didn't think you would go so low that you'd be in the company with the likes of exorcists, Checkerface."

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Bermuda," the old man merely gave his mysterious smile, not at all bothered by the heated glance. "I'm just trying to teach my apprentice. His name is Sawada Tsunayoshi. Isn't he just a sweet boy?"

Don't introduce me to some scary guy! Said boy held back the urge to scream at his mentor, his face red as a tomato and tried to keep himself from doing anything else when the terrifying figure paid attention to him again. And don't say I'm sweet! What did he mean even by "Checkerface"?

Bermuda stared at him with unblinking irritated eyes before they looked away, causing the clearly amused teacher to laugh at Death's actions. Tsuna wondered if it was just his imagination but he had thought that he had heard the soft whisper, saying, "Sweet..."

"Anyway, Sawada-kun, you summoned the wrong spirit," Kawahira commented bluntly, earning a startled gasp from the truly scared trainee exorcist. "Bermuda isn't Death. He's an Ankou, the personification of death in Brittany though he is a completely different being from Death. Depending on the country or language used, you will summon different beings yet they seem similar."

"We have something like that?" the brunet asked in confusion. He was only taught about the common supernatural beings in the world. He had never heard of them being different depending on the culture and country. "So it's how Shikigami can also be Death in some places and familiar in another place?"

"You're training to be an exorcist and you don't even know that," the Ankou sneered mockingly. "That's pathetic."

The spirit raised an eyebrow at the dejected look of the other and frowned, not liking the way the smallest hint of guilt came to him at that look. The all-too-knowing glance that Checkerface had given him made him loathe it even more.

"It isn't Sawada-kun's fault for having such interior beings for teachers," the man defended his student and patted said student's head, wearing the same secretive smile that both the spirit and younger boy had grown to hate. "In fact, doesn't the fact that he had summoned you himself prove him above average? It even seems that you two had already made bond with each other."

Bermuda grew silent at his words, and for some reason, Tsuna could just feel the growing anger and resentment of the Ankou. Seriously, he was tempted to follow what the other was feeling. Kawahira was the type to easily anger people like that.

"Now, shall we continue with the ceremony?" the white-haired man kept on smiling but the other two knew that there was nothing good with his smiles. "Sawada-kun, state your contact and finish the ceremony."

"Wait, you said that I got the wrong spirit so shouldn't I try it again?" the teenager frowned, not really wanting to finish the ceremony, considering he had to... Damn it, why that?! He blushed in embarrassment. "Or we could really not do this since Ankou-san doesn't really want this."

The spirit raised an eyebrow at the sincerity of the human. It even surprised him that the other didn't use his name, considering every human, he had met, slyly took advantage of knowing a creature's name. Names were a powerful thing, after all.

"Ah, but Sawada-kun, this is your last chance to pass your Summoning Exams," Kawahira reminded with the hint of amusement to his now frozen student. "Of course, you can still accept the previous spirits, you had summoned, to be your familiar to pass the test. I know that some of them are really waiting for you."

Tsuna paled, just thinking of his previous summons. Between them and Bermuda, he definitely was more likely to picking the latter considering the fact that the death spirit had only insulted him and had not tried to eat him yet. Really, stuck between two fires here...

He swallowed hard like he ate something sour. "Fine," he agreed reluctantly and stared determinedly at the quiet Ankou. He held back the urge to flinch when dark glaring eyes focused on him. His throat suddenly felt dry. "Will you please be my familiar, Ankou-san?"

"You don't really need too much! I won't ask you anything as well. You won't even have to concern yourself with me. I just really need a familiar so that I can be a fully fledged exorcist! Please, Ankou-san!"

Bermuda merely glanced at him before asking with narrowed eyes, "Why are you still asking? You already know my true name. You can just use that to make me obey you."

"I can't do that!" the human shook his head and for a second, the death spirit saw his eyes turned unwavering orange hues. "You have every right to make decisions of your own and you didn't give me your name willingly so I don't have the right to use it!"

Silence followed the loud exclamation and the brunet slowly deflated, not knowing what else to say.

He was more than surprised when he felt a spiritual energy flowed inside of him. His widened honey-brown eyes clashed with blank dark eyes, focusing at the unknown emotions he saw in them. He didn't even notice how close they had become.

"State your contact, human," Bermuda muttered darkly, having no idea why he was doing this but he knew that there was something about this small human Checkerface was interested in. "I don't have all day."

"Ah!" Tsuna nodded quickly, finally finding his focus again. He recited the contact. "I, Sawada Tsunayoshi, accept thee to be my familiar. I ask for protection and assistance in times of need and in exchange, I give thee my blood and energy."

He stared at his summoned spirit, leaning a bit close for comfort and nervously apologized, "You have to pardon me for doing this but it is a requiremenst to finish the contact."

Not giving much time for anyone to say anything, he planted his soft lip to the other's rough lip. Blinding light with snow surrounded the two as the contact became acknowledge and a mark of snowflake formed somewhere to the two's bodies.

Kawahira smirked.

4. Devil

Sawada Tsunayoshi was always an unusual kid. None of the other children felt comfortable being with him. They thought that he was weird and creepy, talking to some imaginary friends. Bad things also happened to those who tried to befriend him.

The brunet scared many children and parents didn't really like having their children near him for they thought that he would be a bad influence.

This greatly saddened Nana.

Her son wasn't the best one, she knew that but Tsuna had the heart of gold. She couldn't get why no one saw it. Her son had a big heart for anyone, accepting people's flaws and befriending anyone. He was kind and polite.

Of course, she also didn't understand why her son was adamant about seeing things that no other people saw but she deemed it as being a phase. She knew that she had some point thought that fairies and other creatures were real in her childhood. It was normal.

Or at least, she thought it was.

Thinking back, she should have expected something like this. Tsuna was already seven and he still had imaginary friends but she thought that it had something to do with his loneliness.

"Okaa-san, are you okay?" she heard the worry in her child's voice but she kept her fearful eyes locked to the amused dark eyes of the creature in front of her. Trembling, she tried to hide her son to her back and only managed to make the creature slightly frown in disapproval.

"Stop scaring Okaa-san, Reborn!" Tsuna demanded childishly, pouting when he was ignored by the two that kept on looking at each other. "And stop ignoring me, too!"

"Chaos," the horned man with devil tail smirked in greeting. "You must be Nana-san."

With shaking voice, the woman replied, trying to be strong, "And you are Reborn-san? I heard so much about you from Tsu-kun."

Nana remembered the most common name that her son said to her and she was pretty sure it was Reborn. Her son had described him as a devil though she never thought that he was literally a devil.

"Hmm," Reborn said nothing, merely staring at the mother and son before disappearing in a blink of an eye. The young mother let out a sigh of relief when the dark presence disappeared though she straightened up when he heard the fleeing words the devil left. "Your son's like a nice treat for creatures like me."

Horror filled her stomach at the implication. She turned to her innocent pouting child and found herself gaining some determination. With a smile, she knelt down the boy's eye level and asked, "Tsuna, will you tell me if you see others like Reborn again?"

"Okay but why, Okaa-san?" Tsuna blinked in confusion but then, nodded in affirmation.

Nana smiled but it was nothing like her usual smiles.

"Oh, I just want to have a talk with them."

There was no way she would stand and do nothing when her son's in danger. That Reborn had warned her enough and she was a mother. She would protect her son from anything, even if they were creatures out of the world she knew.

Luckily, her grandfather was rather enthusiastic about demons and devils and had made a study about them. She never really showed interest in them. She didn't even believe them but now, she could use them to protect her son.

Later, she would enrol Tsuna to an exorcist school.

Reborn didn't really know how to feel about that. He wanted the woman to ask for his help so that he could keep an eye on the boy but he was also impressed that the woman decided not to trust someone easily and had decided to enrol the boy to a school where he could be protected and be taught to protect himself.

Black-chan: So that's it. I'm really just here to say that I'm still alive and breathing...ugh, I'll get back to writing my old stories. I promise! I just really have a major writer's block. Anyway, hope you guys like this one. Also, I have no set of pairings. There is only hinted ones. As for the kissing part? I watched Zero no Tsukaima again so that happens...
