AN: So this story is a little different from the ones I have wrote, but not completely. Harry is the older brother in this story, and is a little more than protective of Tsuna. But can you blame him? Tsuna is a magnet for trouble.

Warnings: Slash later on, Violence, slight brother complexes.

Hidetada- Name of the third son of Tokugawa Ieyasu. (This was the only name that started with H in the Tokugawa family tree, and since Imetsu and Tsuna are named after shoguns I decided to follow that.)

{Caro Fratello}

The veil shimmered slightly as he stood silently in front of it, the black color just as suffocating but entrancing as it was the first time he came upon it. He gripped his wand tightly at the memory of the only person who saw him and 'just Harry', the only one that gave him a chance to get away from all the madness and live a normal life.

Perhaps he should have taken the offer when it was given, but he highly doubted it would have changed anything, eventually he would have had to face his destiny.

"He's still alive if you were wondering."

He jumped slightly at the voice and turned to face the girl, her unfocused blue eyes watching the veil in a dreamy sort of way.

"What do you mean still alive?" He asked slightly shocked at what she had said.

She gave him a soft smile. "The veil isn't really one of death, that's just what it has been named by the wizards. You could call it a gateway of sorts."

He raised a dark brow at the girl, "Gateway?"

"Think of it as a door that leads to a new life, in a completely different universe."

" Another Universe?" Many would have scoffed at the idea that such a thing could exist, especially if 'Loony Luna' as she was once called, said it was so. But after going through what he did, one learned to just embrace things the way they were.

" You see your spirit can't live in the same Universe twice, think of your spirit as a child. Once it finds something interesting it stays there for a while, but when it bores of it they leave to find something else to entertain them." She walked over to stand beside him, her rather eccentric clothing contrasting greatly with his dark more formal ones.

He turned his head to face the veil once again a thoughtful look on his face. "Would I be able to go where Sirius went?"

"It all depends on if your spirit finds the place where his spirit went of interest." She answered.

He hummed in acknowledgement his thoughts racing a mile per hour. Perhaps this was his way to live again, start over perhaps, though it would mean leaving his friends to find his godfather. But what else did he have to lose? Everyone else had moved on after the war, settled down and married or found a hobby, everyone except him.

After the war was over and everything had become normal he realized that he enjoyed the rush of battle, his blood racing through his veins. He found he couldn't sit still and do nothing, he had to be moving or doing something with his brain, maybe this was his chance at finding that again.

"Do you think they would be mad at me for going?" He asked knowing she understood he was talking about his two closest friends.

"Yes. I would imagine they would be pissed." He blinked at her honesty for a moment before chuckling, that was just one of the many reasons he liked her.

"I reckon I should just handle this the way I do everything else."

The two people held gazes for a moment before the boy smirked at the girl earning a dreamy smile in return. In a swift movement the boy started to walk away from the veil leaving the girl standing there, to anyone else it would look like he was walking away from the veil but the girl just smiled knowingly.

Suddenly the boy turned to face the veil again, his green eyes focusing on it with determination. He started to walk back toward the veil, and then started jogging getting closer. Finally he was racing toward the object. He passed the girl, the two making eye contact for a second before he disappeared through the veil leaving the girl alone.

"Oh, I forgot to mention something, you will find you can't remember anything of your past life once you pass through the veil. It wouldn't be very fair if you remembered everything right away. Perhaps I should have mentioned that…" For a moment the girl looked almost thoughtful, before she smiled and walked away from the veil, knowing that if anyone could survive, Harry Potter the-boy-who-lived was that person.

"Tsu-kun time to wake up! Tsu-kun!" Nana Sawada called up to her youngest child and sighed wishing he would wake up as easily as Hidetada.

"Mother you can continue on making breakfast, I will wake up Tsuna." Nana smiled brightly at the dark haired boy before walking back into the kitchen.

Silently the boy walked up the stairs and to his younger brothers' room, he opened up the door and stared calmly at the still sleeping figure, not wanting to go inside the messy room.

"Tsuna if you don't wake up I will tell Mother what you got on your math test." Green eyes carefully hidden by silver framed glasses watched in slight amusement as his brother jerked awake a horrified expression on his face.

"Hiiee! I'm awake! Just don't tell mom, I don't need her knowing I got a fifteen on the test!" The brunette exclaimed falling off the bed with a loud thump.

A soft smile appeared on the older boys face as he watched his brother race around the room panicking about being late.

"No need to panic Otōto, I made sure to remind Mother to wake you up earlier, so you wouldn't have to be in such a rush this morning." Instantly Tsuna calmed down and gave his brother an appreciative smile, thanking god inwardly once again that he had an elder brother.

After Tsuna was done changing he, and the ever calm Hidetada, walked to the kitchen and sat at the table, a full plate of breakfast waiting for them.

Glancing at her two sons from the kitchen, Nana observed their appearances like she did every so often. The two brothers both had brown hair and a small stature with more feminine looks then most boys. But that was all they really shared in common, while Tsuna resembled her with his brown eyes and hair, Hidetada was almost shockingly different.

Hidetada was older then Tsuna by two years and almost more feminine if that were possible, unlike his younger brother his hair was a dark, almost black, brown that reached just past his shoulders in slight waves. The front hair was shorter than the back framing his face, while a few strands fell over his glasses further covering his bright green eyes from view. While his hair was relatively more tame then Tsuna's, Hidetada's still looked rather tasseled, making many people say that he looked like a girl. But to her he looked like one of those mysterious aristocratic men from the romance books she read.

Nana broke out of her thoughts and smiled at her youngest. "Nee, Tsu-kun guess what? An interesting flyer came in today that might help you with your schooling."

Hidetada glanced up from his breakfast and gave his mother a calculating look, more times than not she had gotten them mixed up in some sort of chaos. She tended to believe anything anyone said, and he was the one that had to bail them out of it.

Tsuna looked at his mother in disbelief, "But I already have Aniki for that!"

"Hide-kun may get better grades than you, but he still needs to focus on his own work. This paper says he's a stay at home tutor, all he needs is a bed to sleep in and food to eat! Plus it also says he's going to make you a Mafia Leader! Doesn't that sound exciting?!" Nana exclaimed brightly Tsuna staring at her dumbstruck.

Hidetada pushed his glasses up, the lenses glinting. "Mother what have I told you about accepting requests from strangers?" Hidetada said sternly before Tsuna could comment.

"Ahh! To not do it! But this time-" Oddly this was almost an everyday occurrence, Hidetada being the more mature person in the house had to take control more times than he could count. He guessed that having a rather childish mother and a clumsy brother came with its faults.

"Remember when that man said he could make Tsuna the president?" He interrupted her calmly, an air of importance surrounding him.

"Oh? Yes I do, he was such a nice man! Plus he said he could make Tsuna the president! I thought that was rather exciting!"

"We ended up almost getting kidnapped; if I were not there you two would probably be sold in a slave market to the highest bidder." Tsuna paled at the memory. That was the day they had learned that Hidetada could become angry. Usually his older brother was calm and had an almost elegant disposition. But when he was angry… let's just say it haunted his dreams ever since.

Nana suddenly had sparkles around her head and a dreamy look in her eyes. "Oh my, yes I do remember that, you resembled your father so much! With that fierce look in your eyes and that green aura crackling around you! Kyaa!"

Hidetada watched his mother go off into her dreamland calmly, inwardly he was growling at being compared to his father, the man barley came home and when he did he usually became drunk and passed out.

"Hiieee! We should leave now Hidetada! If we're late Hibari-san will bite us to death!" Well he most likely won't if you're around. Tsuna added in his head, for some reason if his older brother was around Hibari would get a look in his eye, that Hidetada was oblivious to, that sent shivers down his spine and completely focus his attention on the older teen. More times than not Tsuna would be able to slip away unnoticed and unharmed while his brother handled the prefect. He sometimes wished his brother wasn't as oblivious and realized that the prefect wanted to do more than 'bite him to death'.

"Ah you are right, see you after school Mother." The two boys got up and grabbed their bags on the way to the door.

"Ciaossu."

Tsuna jumped in the air with a shriek and toppled over into the surprised Hidetada, making the two fall on the floor with a thump.

"Dame-Tsuna look what you did, making someone else fall along with you isn't something a Mafia boss should do." Hidetada glanced up from underneath Tsuna and gazed at the small child, weirdly enough the child made him wary.

"Hiiee?! Who are you? And how do you know my nick-name?!" Tsuna yelled from atop the silent Hidetada completely forgetting he was even on him in the first place.

"Dame-Tsuna I'm the Number One Hitman Reborn, and I am here to tutor you into becoming a Mafia boss. Now get off Golden-boy-Hide it looks like he's suffocating." With a yelp the boy did as he was told apologizing to his slighting ruffled brother before turning toward the baby.

"How do you know Aniki's nick-name too? And how in the world can be the Number One Hitman?! You're just a baby!"

Hidetada watched the baby fling his brother around as if he were a ragdoll with a calm face, for some reason a baby being a Hitman didn't faze him at all.

"Tsuna I will meet you at school. Feel free to join me when you are done playing around with the Hitman."

Tsuna rounded on his brother with wide eyes. "Hiiiee?! Don't tell me you believe him?!"

"I do." Was the calm reply.

"Why?!"

"….I do not know."

Tsuna fell the ground in shock, who knew his brother could believe such impossible things. Though if Aniki accepts it maybe…

The Hitman watched as the elder Sawada walked out the door with a confused and panicking Tsuna and smirked. Imetsu had told him that Hidetada was more mature and had a lot of potential, but now that he saw him in person he knew that the boy could turn into a perfect assassin. He had the perfect posture and if his sources were right, which they were, great reflexes for the job. If his flame were the right type he would even be a great Mafia boss, but his position in the family was good as well. Personally he was rather glad Hidetada was going to replace the cow idiot, though the idiot was still going to come he wasn't going to be a guardian.

He couldn't wait to see what Sawada Hidetada would do for the Vongola. It was something he was going to take great pleasure in watching.

{Caro Fratello}

"Reborn! Confess to Sasagawa Kyoko with my dying will!"

Hidetada could only stare silently at his brother's figure as it raced off toward school clad in only his boxers. His poor brother was going to be very embarrassed once the 'faze' ended, and most likely would become the laughing stock of the school. Again.

"Is he going to be alright?" He finally asked after getting over his initial surprise.

The baby gave him a glance. "Of course."

"Aa."

They lapsed into a comfortable silence, the baby taking a spot on his shoulder as he started to once again head toward school.

Though most people would freak out when they saw their sibling get shot by a gun, for some reason Hidetada was someone who accepted things the way they were. He didn't know why, his life was relatively normal but somewhere inside of him just was completely unable to be affected.

He guessed that was a bad thing, since normal people were usually affected by that sort of thing, but as long as his brother was still alive then he was okay.

But he would make sure to never get shot by that gun. Ever.

{Caro Fratello}

He arrived at school just in time to see Tsuna demanding Sasagawa Kyoko to go out with him, only for the terrified girl to scream and run into the school. Poor girl, she was probably scarred for life.

"Bastard!"

Hidetada frowned as the leader of the kendo team, for the life of him he couldn't remember his name, raise his fist in a position to strike Tsuna.

He quickened his pace until he was standing behind his brother, and gave the teen a sharp smile, his glasses glinting ominously. "Good morning, I do wonder what you plan to do with that fist."

The dark teen's fist froze in mid-air, his face paling rapidly. "S-Seitokaicho! N-nothing, nothing at all! Well look at the time, I have to go!"

Completely oblivious to what was going on. Tsuna watched as Mochida gave a quick bow and disappeared in a trail of dust.

"Aniki?" Tsuna questioned his brother, his head titling curiously.

Hidetada gave his younger brother a soft smile, his earlier demeanor instantly gone. "Yes?"

Tsuna blinked and then shook his head, sometimes he would never get people. His brother was a nice and caring person, yet everyone seemed to be terrified whenever they saw him. Well not Kyoko-chan, she always was nice to his brother…

"Ah I can't believe I just confessed to Kyoko-chan in my boxers!" Tsuna panicked suddenly remembering what had happed.

Reborn hopped down from Hidetada's shoulder. "The dying will bullet lasts five minutes. After five minutes, you revert back to normal."

Hidetada adjusted his glasses thoughtfully. "Is it necessary to shoot him with a gun? Can't you just give him some pills instead? I would imagine that to be far less… extravagant then shooting him."

The hitman gave him a smirk. "Because I like to."

He raised a brow before sighing and gave his brother a once over, grimacing at the dirt and lack of clothes.

"Tsuna."

"Yes?"

"I think you should go home."

"Why?"

"…."

Tsuna turned his gaze downward giving a loud 'Hiiee' as he fruitlessly tried to cover himself up.

Hidetada pinched the bridge of his nose as a headache started to form. If having a troublesome family wasn't enough, a baby hitman with a magical gun appears with the intention of turning his brother into a mafia boss.

Did fate hate him?

{Caro Fratello}

Hidetada sighed as once again another thud came from his brother's room, answering the last question from his homework. Reborn had explained to him the basics of what was going on, and while he understood why it had to happen, he couldn't help but be annoyed.

Who did the baby think he was? Just because he was 'The Number One Hitman' didn't mean he had a right to barge into their lives and send it through a blender. They didn't even hear about this 'Vongola' until now, and truthfully Hidetada didn't want anything to do with them. His family didn't owe them anything, and even if Tsuna was special, it didn't mean he could be forced to take on the title as the boss. The Vongola certainly weren't around when Hidetada had to 'deal' with the men that thought they could 'steal' his younger brother.

Contrary to what Tsunayoshi thought, Hidetada wasn't the perfect brother. Throughout his life, he had to fight to protect his family, even if that meant dealing with the men, permanently. The first time was the hardest, he was just five years old, and someone tried to pick up his brother, who was three at the time, and walk away. Obviously Hidetada ended up getting his brother back, but not without being wounded, the man was able to give him a lightning shaped scar on his fore-head before he ran away. When his panicked mother asked him what happened he simply smiled and said he fell, and that continued over the years, again and again.

Thankfully his brother didn't remember much since he was young when they appeared, and eventually they stopped when Hidetada was ten, but by then it was too late for him to go back to being carefree and childish. He already had been in far too many fights and could see the world as it was, his mother was worried at his attitude change at first but eventually passed it off as him just growing up faster than most kids.

If there was one thing he knew, he wouldn't allow his brother to be hurt, not over his dead body. And if it came to that so be it, Hidetada was Tsuna's older brother and he would protect him until his last breath.

He twitched when another thump came from his brother's room and took a deep breath. His mother always said he had a brother complex so perhaps he was over dramatizing it.

Thump!

A crack sounded and he turned his gaze toward his broken pencil, frowning at it. Dramatizing or not, he would make sure to keep an eye on his brother.
