AN: Evil, evil plotbunny. Stop procreating behind my back, you nasty little gremlins!

Ah, Muse-chan… no, I was only joking. Really. I love them, and I will care for them. Really!

Okay, let's stop joking and get on with the story. This is actually a pilot chapter, and depending on the response (namely, reviews) I may continue this little ficlet.

Prolouge: Sky

Am I only going to die like this?

Would I only die, after being left behind to drown by those I barely know?

The water is cold. I can't breathe. It's painful.

I don't want to die!

Don't worry. You won't die, myself. I'll be there for you.

What's that voice?

I don't… know…

"-Tsu-kun, Tsu-kun! Wake up! It's only a nightmare!"

My eyes opened, and I woke up with a gasp. My mom –she's a better mother than who I had before- looked at me worriedly, tears in her eyes as she hugged me tightly. The beeping sounds of a heart monitor rang in my ears, along with her soft whispers, saying sorrysorrywhydidn'tInoticebefore. I didn't like it.

I didn't like having my mother cry. A memory of another life, of the one I remembered on the brink of death, came into my mind.

"I'm alright, Kaa-san." I said as firmly as I could, even while knowing it would help little to calm her down. "I'm alright now."

My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, and five days and twelve hours ago I almost drowned in a river, being beaten by bullies whose names I never knew.

My name is Tsuna, and my name was Narukami Yu.

I forced a smile to my lips as I tried to calm her down -It won't work. Didn't work for Nanako- knowing that ultimately it won't stop her from crying.

Ever since I awoke for the first time two days ago and changed, Mom always cried when I smiled.

"You used to have the most beautiful smile, Tsu-kun…"

AN: And that's that.

Shortest chapter I probably ever made, and the only one with no trace of humor.

Yes, this is a reincarnation fic. Post-Good Epilouge of Persona 4 reincarnation fic to be exact.

I'm still forming the finer details, so please leave behind your comments and expectations for this fic. It may help the next update come faster – if the response is good in the first place. If I'm not continuing it though, it may turn into a writing prompt, so watch out for whoever wants to adopt it.

For those who were expecting the next chapter of To Become A Campione, update would be up by tomorrow.
