Mocking Bird

Summary: AU. Tsuna has his normal 'no-good' life on his hands, and then his day didn't get any better when he came across a hit-and-run incident, leaving a poor raven-haired boy sprawled across the road to die. Not being selfish like most, he took the boy home, but was that a good decision on his half? 1827

Chapter One

"C'mon Dame-Tsuna," a small, brown haired boy with honey caramel eyes looked round with a somewhat hurt expression on his face, looking at the boys who were mocking him as he unconsciously tightened his fists. "You lost the bet therefore you have to stay behind and do after school duties!"

"B-But…" Tsuna bowed his head, looking at his classmates in dismay as he tried to find a way out of the situation. "I n-never agreed to take part in t-this bet… a-and I done after school duties yesterday…!"

"Well, you name was in the hat loser!" one snarled, knocking him to the floor. Tsuna blinked, already used to this kind of treatment until he heard Mochida speak, making him flinch.

"Better do it Tsuna… don't want to get hurt, now do you?" Tsuna bowed his head before shaking it. He didn't want to get hurt again. If he got hurt again then he would have to explain to his mom what had happened, and then when Nana found out someone had hurt her son, she went on a total rampage.

"N-No… I suppose not…" it was a quiet mumble, but Tsuna felt as if everyone in the room could hear. The bell rang, and everyone ran out the room, victorious cheers echoing through the air. The only person left was Yamamoto, and he had a very apologetic expression layering his features.

"Sorry, Tsuna," said Yamamoto sheepishly. "It was my idea to do the name-and-hat thing, but I didn't mean it so they could take advantage-"

"It's not a problem, Yamamoto," said Tsuna, his voice faltering ever so slightly. "They would have made me do it one way or another…"

To prove a point, Tsuna reached for the hat, tipping it upside down and sure enough, every piece of paper had 'Sawada Tsunayoshi' written onto them. Tsuna let out a sigh before shaking his head.

"Would you like me to stay and help?" offered Yamamoto, his voice cheerful as he flashed a grin. "I have baseball practise, but I'm sure they all won't mind if I'm a little late-"

"No, really, it's fine!" Tsuna forced a smile on his face and then bowed towards the older male. "Go practise, it won't take me to long. Thanks for offering to help me anyway!"

"If you're sure…" Yamamoto kept a smile on his face as he petted Tsuna on the back, running round the room whistling a tune no one had ever probably heard. Tsuna laughed sadly, piling text books into the cupboard before looking at the clock.

"4:00pm…"

It had taken much longer than expected. Being the fact that it was late November and since it was past 6:00pm, it was now pitch-black. No matter how hard he tried to deny it, Tsuna was scared of the dark. Continuing to walk his way back home, the chilly breeze made him shiver. What a no good life he had, huh?

Walking across the main road, he narrowly avoided getting his by a truck and covered his ears at the horn beeping at him, running down a dark alleyway and closing his eyes. This was the reason he hated walking outside, alone.

Suddenly, a raven-haired male ran right into him, knocking him over without thinking to apologize and ran out the other end of the alleyway. Tsuna glanced up and then saw a van that swerved to hit him, only narrowly missing and causing the brunette boy to squeak.

Panicking slightly, since he didn't know what to do, Tsuna then ran out of the dark alleyway, sprinting after the boy before freezing in place, watching the raven go flying across the road, his skin scraping and tearing against the hard concrete. He could hear laughter, and Tsuna was forced to close his eyes and the van accelerated forwards, running over the other boys poor arm and causing a loud snap…

The boy remained still, one eye closed as he grit his teeth together, steel onyx eyes looking up to see the brown-haired boy he had run into earlier standing over him, tears filling his eyes. Tsuna kneeled down, instinctively reaching for his mobile, only for the raven haired boy to snatch it back off him.

"Don't… you dare…" he growled lowly, his voice catching as he coughed up blood.

"B-But you're hurt a-and-" SMACK. Tsuna went quiet and felt his cheek sting painfully. Remaining still, he watched as the boy laying before him closed his eyes, his jaw unclenching slightly.

"I don't want this mentioned to anyone, got that?"

"But I can't just let you lay here-!"

"I said don't-" the raven-haired male went quiet, his good arm dropping on the floor and Tsuna's mobile clattering off the ground.

"Hey, wake up!" Tsuna was startled, and he didn't know what to do. No one else was here to help, and no one would probably want to help since this boy, who looked similar in age to himself, looked poor, ragged and probably homeless. Slinging the raven's arm over his shoulder, Tsuna struggled with him back home, continuing to talk in hope that he would open his eyes again.

"Wake up... wake up...!"

Slowly, darkened onyx eyes opened and looked round cautiously, wincing in pain lightly before looking down to see that his arm had been slung up carelessly. In the corner, a brown haired boy was watching him carefully, nibbling at his lip.

"Are you OK?" asked Tsuna timidly, causing the raven to raise an eyebrow at him.

"Are you sane?" he replied coolly, causing Tsuna to blink in confusion. "Allowing a street rat into your home is always a deadly mistake."

I know..." mumbled Tsuna, before closing his eyes and giving a trembling smile. "B-But... I thought that maybe... well... I just didn't sense that you were a bad person . I had a feeling that you were a good person, even if you did hit me?"

Tsuna rubbed at his face, over the dark bruise that had appeared not long after he brought the raven-haired boy here. Giving a sigh, the raven-haired boy stretched out his hand.

"Hibari Kyoya," he said nonchalantly, Tsuna instantly shaking his hand.

"Tsuna, Sawada Tsunayoshi... err, Hibari-san?" replied the brunette politely. Hibari let a smirk cross his face and coughed lightly.

"Fine by me," muttered Hibari quietly. "Now tell me, where am I?"

"Umm… it my playhouse outside?" said Tsuna, scratching at his head, "I couldn't let mom see you or she'd through a flip and my dad is working over in Italy right now. Since I couldn't take you inside, I told mom I wanted to camp in my play hut and she gave me tons of blankets and sleeping bags and-"

"I get your point," interrupted Hibari, looking at his carelessly bandaged arm and body and the make-shift sling. "Where did you get the medical equipment?"

Tsuna then showed him the medical box he had.

"I'm no good, and I hurt myself a lot, so I tend to carry this around with me."

"Common sense Herbivore," said Hibari, making Tsuna raise an eyebrow at the name. "You better get to sleep, you have school tomorrow, right?"

"H-Hai…"

And with that they settled down, turning off the glowing lights and getting some well earned rest, for both their sakes.
