…O…O…O….

Tsuna's hand was steady as he drew in his sketchbook; his gaze was distant yet he held his pencils gently. Every stroke on the paper was made lovingly and without a hint of hesitation. His long hair danced around his face freely blown away by the breeze. It was still early morning, the sun hadn't even risen, yet here he was sitting on the roof of his house under the starless sky.

It was always like that after one of those dreams. He would open his eyes to find himself back in his room, steadily losing the sensation of completion of belonging he felt in them. He'd feel so achingly empty; as if someone had reached inside his soul and tore away something irreplaceable leaving only scorching heat in its place.

His dreams were not always peaceful or pleasant, but those that were, were always filled with laughter, soft conversations, the scent of flowers and the heat of the sun. It felt like home. So every time he woke up from one of those dreams, he would climb out his window to the roof where he would start drawing what he'd seen. Trying to keep those feelings with him as long as possible. Before going back to his listless life.

As the sun started rising painting the sky different shades of reds and blues. Tsuna's hand finally stopped moving. He looked down at the sketchbook and smiled softly; tracing with his finger the face of the person he had drawn.

She looked uncannily like him, with almond shaped eyes in a bright enthralling amber color, high cheekbones and plump rosy lips. Her long brown hair fell down her back in waves stopping slightly past her waist. Upon her head sat a bejeweled golden crown. She was wearing a long sleeveless dress and a long silk shawl over her shoulders in a light golden shade and was smiling brightly while holding a bouquet of flowers.

The only difference between her and Tsuna, was that the latter is male and that while his hair was long it only reached mid back and the front was more like a bird's nest. Tsuna closed his eyes letting himself fall back into the memory one last time.

"Anu!" he shouted running up the stone stairs, ducking under tree branches and jumping over roots and vines that had wound themselves around them. His smile was wide as he passed by gardeners and servants who bowed when they saw him; he could feel her in the last level of the Gardens.

He didn't even pause when reaching his destination. Having spotted her figure, he merely sped up and took her in his arms twirling her around. She laughed happily and swatted his shoulder.

"Put me down Anshar, I'm getting dizzy" she ordered a sweet smile on her face.

Tsuna or Anshar as he was called in these dreams pouted slightly then did as told "Have you not missed me at all?" he asked faking a hurt look.

"Of course I did" she said rolling her eyes and hugging him.

Tsuna wound his arms around her hugging her back before letting her go, he detached the sword at his hip and let himself flop down on the cushion of flowers behind him the sword resting by his side.

"I hate going away when you are not with me" he stated frowning slightly.

"You are here now are you not? And if what I've heard from the servants is true then you are staying for a while" Anu said from where she was crouching down clipping flowers and making a bouquet out of them.

Tsuna's expression cleared, as he looked at her and he smiled "Yes, no more diplomatic meetings with haughty princes and spoiled princesses who think they own the world" he confirmed.

Anu stood up and smiled brightly at him her eyes glittering with amusement, the finished bouquet held to her chest "Are we not as well, brother dear?" she asked, before sitting by him and pulling his head onto her lap, the bouquet laying over his sword.

"You ? Spoiled rotten? Never, my princess and I'm way too beautiful and charming to be called haughty" he stated, sighing softly when her fingers started threading gently in his hair.

"Modest as well I see" she said teasingly.

"Why of course" he agreed making her laugh.

"You were in Egypt last were you not?" he nodded and she beamed "describe it to me then please".

"It's a beautiful place Anu, well the Pharaoh is a stick in the mud but aren't all kings that way?" he stated making her giggle "It's not that much different from Babylon, the capital is hidden by the sandy dunes, and the first time you see it, it makes your breath stutter but; the most majestic sight I've seen is the way the sun reflects on the surface of the Nile…..

"Tsu-kun ! Are you awake?"

Tsuna opened his eyes as his mother's voice brought him back to the present. He sighed and climbed back down to his room. He put his sketchbook and pencils on his desk, took a clean school uniform from his wardrobe and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Yes kaa-san I'm awake I'll be down in a bit" he answered.

Shrugging off his pajama top, Tsuna caught his reflection in the mirror and frowned, his eyes were shining brightly too brightly. They made him look nearly inhuman; this usually happened when he used that weird fire (-flames- whispered that annoying little voice in the back of his head) or when they were acting up on their own but he felt fi….

A gasp left his lips as white hot pain coursed through his body; he fell to his knees clutching at the sink as he felt like he was burning from the inside out. It was too much the flames raged inside of him and he couldn't stop them, all that power was not meant for him to hold alone. -Breathe, breathe you're not breathing enough-

Tsuna's couldn't concentrate on anything but the pain, there was an inferno inside of him and he couldn't control it.

'Perhaps I should have left that old man do what he wanted when he came with that useless father of mine as a child' he thought, his breathing was shallow black spots entering his sight. His hands slipped from the sink, and he fell to the side limply with a thud.

"Tsu-kun? Is everything alright?" his mother's worried voice reached him through the haze of pain.

And as abruptly as the pain started, it stopped.

Tsuna breathed in deeply only to choke and start coughing up –too much too soon, slower- the voice instructed and he did as told trying to get the much needed air into his lungs.

"Tsuna?" this time his mother's voice was closer.-bedroom door-

He sat up painfully and put his hands back on the sink putting his weight on them to get up on his trembling feet.

"I'm alright kaa-san I just fell down" he said once he was up.

He heard her giggle and say "Be more careful Tsu-kun less you hurt yourself".

Said boy merely sighed looking at the pale face of his reflection whose eyes had thankfully regained the amber hue they usually had if not a little bit brighter. It wasn't the first time this happened, but he could normally see it coming. He'd feel feverish and the voice inside his head would give him a migraine with all the random facts it started spouting. It would continue for hours until it stopped or his flames would go out of control and start trying to burn him up. But this never happened before.

It wasn't because of his dream -memory- , of that he was sure, it wasn't after all the first time he had that one, they kept recycling in the same order from childhood to his early twenties but never after that. So why did his flames act up earlier?

-balance, the sun, curse- the voice answered.

"What ?" Tsuna mumbled under the spray of the shower confused at the answer.

-chaos-

"I thought it was balance" said Tsuna exasperated while getting out of the shower a towel over his head and another around his waist.

He was met with silence.

Annoyed, Tsuna shrugged on his clothes tied his hair in a low ponytail and went back to his room. He snatched his bag by the door and went down the stairs to the kitchen where he found his mom putting plates on the table. Three plates.

She looked at him when he came in and beamed "Good morning Tsu-kun".

He smiled back at her feeling nervous for some reason, and pulled out a chair and sitting down "Good morning kaa-san, are we having a guest today?" he asked pleading internally for it not to be his father.

"Oh yes!" she said excited and put a glass of orange juice in front of him "I found a most unusual flyer this morning in the mail, it said "Will raise your kid to be the leader of the next generation: Home tutor Reborn" it's even free as long as the tutor can stay at our house and have three meals a day. It was so interesting that I called immediately, isn't it great?".

"Great…" he deadpanned; he opened his mouth to tell her that it was probably a scam but closed it with an audible click when someone spoke from behind him making him turn around.

"Chaos, I'm the home tutor Reborn".

Tsuna blinked at the toddler standing in front of him who couldn't be older than two. He was wearing a black suit, an equally black fedora with an orange band around it which hid his spiky hair and shadowed his obsidian eyes a chameleon was laying lazily on his right shoulder; and a yellow pacifier hang around his neck.

The serene mask Tsuna used in front of other people slid into place, he smiled softly falsely at who he knew wasn't a toddler "A pleasure to meet you Reborn, my name is Sawada Tsunayoshi please take care of me" he said bowing slightly.

'A curse you said?' he asked internally at which the voice purred.

…O…O…O….

So how did you find it ?
