Chapter 1: A Tranquil Rainy Morning

"Dame-Tsuna move it" the short brunet teen was pushed to the side as a group of his classmates rushed pass him toward the school's gate just as the bell began to chimes. "Hibari-sempai is going to kill us if we're late! Hurry it up Takeshi-san!", yelled one of the boy not really stopping in his course to reach the school.

"Even so, there's no reason to push Tsuna-san aside Aoba-kun" Yamamoto Takeshi frowned. He was of course the star athlete of Namimori Middle School and most likable person to be around with his easy going smile and friendly attitude. Aoba hesitantly stop in his track to watch his friend extending his hand out to the fallen brunet. As his hand touched Tsuna's lower arm, Yamamoto's hand was quickly swapped away. Tsuna got himself off the ground, a look of fear upon his face.

"Tsuna-san?" Yamamoto asked worriedly seeing the distress within those huge brown orbs.

"S-sorry" Tsuna mumbled before giving an apologetics bow to the athlete. Then without any warning he rushes off not noticing the surprise athlete watching him with a confused sadness reflected within his own eyes.

Breathing deeply as he hid behind a locker, Tsuna felt a chill tear through his body as he remember the feeling of Yamamoto-san's hand on his skin for that single second. Rubbing it quickly as if it was being eaten alive, Tsuna tried to hold back his tears but was too late as they fell quickly from his face.

He hates it. He hates the feeling of having another person touching him, no matter how gentle, or warm those hands had been upon his skin, Tsuna knew better. He knew the pains that those hands could cause if he let them get too close and he was afraid. He is afraid…afraid of the very people around him, even though he knew that these people were all weaker than him. He just hates the feeling of having others getting too close, but that was the very reason he was here.

Here being in school, filled with numerous of students roaming around. Yet Tsuna just couldn't help it; when he even made a slight brush against another, he would always move away at the slightly touch and because of his reflex toward those touches, he would always find himself losing his balance which had unfortunately earn him the nickname Dame-Tsuna at this small town school.

"Herbivore" the sound of calm death enter Tsuna's ears as he snapped up to his feet to see the Nami-chu's Disciplinary Committee leader towering over him with his tonfas out and ready to strike, "You are not allow to crowd the hall during class time", he notice the wet floor as Tsuna flinch away, "…nor leak a puddle on school property." He strike the tonfas at Tsuna before the boy could even give any excuse which Hibari would have consider worthless information anyway, but Tsuna surprised the older male by dodging his blows.

"I'll bite you to death" Hibari smirk as he watches Tsuna dodge his every strike despise his pleads for the disciplinary leader to stop. The boy was indeed amusing entertainment.

"Hibari-sempai! Eek!" Tsuna missed the last strike as he tripped over the puddle of tears he had caused. Landing painfully on his back he got ready for the final hit, but it never came.

Hibari stepped back from the shorter boy, "Clean up the mess herbivore and head to class."

Tsuna was confused, Hibari Kyouya had been known not to forgive any rule breakers for anything less than a trip to the hospital, and seeing that he was still alive and well saved for a mere sore butt and back ache, he had to consider this to be his lucks changing. But that only brought an even more foreboding feeling seeing as how bad his lucks had always been. Something bad was going to happen.

"You sure have some nerves Dame-Tsuna" the boy from that morning, Aoba-kun had supposedly come for revenge for his bad manner toward Yamamoto-san.

Tsuna stayed quiet, seeing no point in trying to provoke the taller boy, but for some reason that only cause the opposite reaction.

"How dare you push Takeshi-san like that!", Aoba shoved him against the wall to prove his point, "You should show some respect." He pushed Tsuna again not noticing the way that Tsuna had withdraw from his touches or the growing terror in the brunet's eyes.

Tsuna was reaching his limit as he unconsciously reached into his jean's pocket for the switch knife, he had always carried around.

Luckily, for both sides Yamamoto had notice his friend action and followed after the two. He notices what Aoba hadn't, the fears within Tsuna's eyes.

Not hesitating at all, Yamamoto rushed over to stop Aoba from landing another punch against Tsuna just as the boy was about to pull out the knife.

"What are you doing Aoba-kun?" Yamamoto asked confusion written all over his face as he held the hand that was directed at Tsuna.

"Takeshi-san! I-I was just…" he stopped at Tsuna mumble.

Although, it was quiet, both Yamamoto and Aoba had caught what he said, it help since Tsuna had repeat it over and over like a mantra.

"Why, what Tsuna?", Yamamoto asked worriedly as he watch Tsuna slowly lift his face and saw confusion reflected on the boy's face.

"Why are you always getting in the way?" Tsuna shouted in anger, "Why are you always there when I'm about to snap? Why must you try to break my wall?" Tsuna finally quiet down, cover his mouth with both hand when he realized that he had been shouting those questions out loud.

"Tsuna?" Yamamoto cautiously walks over to touch Tsuna on the shoulder only to get push away.

"STOP IT! Don't get close to me!" Tsuna yelled at the shocked athlete only to suddenly get hit from the head by a large green hammer.

Aoba ran off at the sudden attack from the invisible enemy as Yamamoto got closer to see if Tsuna was alright, only to be stopped by the sudden appearance of the owner of the green hammer, a one foot tall baby dress in a black suit topped with a black fedora. On his shoulder sat a green chameleon that was transformed from the hammer.

"Baka-Tsuna, I see you haven't change at all in my absent.", said the too-young-to-speak child.

"Reborn?" Tsuna eyes widen disbelievingly as the child settle himself on his shoulder, "Wha-what are you doing here?". Yamamoto watched as Tsuna's frown turns into a smile that he had never saw upon the boy face within the one year that he had known the boy.

"Baka. I came to see you of course." Reborn replies as he patted Tsuna like a little kid.

"Stop that! I'm not that helpless kid anymore" Tsuna complained but didn't pull away from the kid's touch.

Yamamoto couldn't help smiling with them, but a sudden call from his friend pulled him away from the two ignoring him. Normally, being ignored would've bother him, but seeing Tsuna smiling for once allows him to leave the two without any loathing, unnoticing the fact that the little kid was watching him out the corner of his eye.

"By the way Baka-Tsuna, who was that boy?" Reborn asked turning his attention back to his charge.

"He's just a classmate!" Tsuna shouted, "Don't involved him in our world Reborn!"

Reborn smirk knowingly as he watches Tsuna panic for the boy's safety, "Don't be such a loser baka, that boy is more skilled to be a hitman than even you." Tsuna's eyes widen in shock and fear at Reborn's words, "But don't worry, I won't be the one to pull him into our world."

"Really? You really won't do anything to Yamamoto?"

"I won't" Reborn single answer calmed the brunet for a moment before he handle Tsuna an envelope, "It a letter from the Ninth."

That one phase change Tsuna relieve into fear within seconds just as any other of Reborn's phrase. The baby always seems to know what to say or do to make Tsuna change his emotions instantly.

"The Ninth? What does he want exactly?" Tsuna asked despite not really wanting to know the answer.

"Everything in within the letter."

Tsuna looked down at the envelope in his hand as he reach for the opening, to suddenly pull his hand back due to a sudden flame erupting from the flap stopping him from opening the letter.

"What going on Reborn?" Tsuna looked over to the baby.

"That the Ninth's dying will flame." Reborn explained knowing that Tsuna didn't understand it at all. "You can only open it with your own dying will flame."

"How do I do that?" Tsuna looked shocked and confused. He had heard about the Vongola's infamous dying will flame before. The flaming weapons which had made Vongola the strongest mafia's family it is today, but he had never thought that it could be use as a seal.

"Figure it out yourself Baka-Tsuna." He kicked the teen on the head before landing gracefully on the ground, his back turn to Tsuna. "Another message from the Ninth, Open the letter soon Tsunayoshi. For your own safety and those that care for you."

Tsuna couldn't ask more when the bell suddenly rings singling the end of lunch and Reborn exit the school ground.
