The Beginning Of The Hidden Sky's Life

Sawada Tsunayoshi, the first son of Sawada Iemitsu and Sawada Nana, was a cute baby with big sparkling honey brown eyes and plum lip. A very, very chubby and small. He is a healthy and happy baby. Both Iemitsu and Nana were very proud of him. They spoiled him and showered him with love.

Nono himself had been secretly abandoning his job in Italy just to spend time with his grandson and left the works to his two sons, Xanxus and Giotto. He stayed there for one month, spoiling his grandson before his storm guardian come storming into the house and drag him home to Italy.

7 months after Tsuna was born, Iemitsu was forced to move back to Italy along with his son and wife after their home was attacked by the enemy. Unfortunately, because of the attack, in between protecting his wife and his son, Iemitsu had been outnumbered by the enemy. He tried his hardest to protect his family, but the enemy still managed to harm his baby boy.

The needle, hard to be seen by the eyes, struck Tsuna at the neck and the poor baby cried at the pain. Seeing this, Iemitsu immediately managed to grab his wife and son and fled their house. Tsuna was immediately treated. The doctor brought them bad news. It broke Nana and Iemitsu heart to hear what the doctor said.

"Your son has been poisoned. We have tried our best to find the antidote, but we cannot find it. This poison is very rare and hard to be cured. I'm so sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Sawada, but I don't think your son can survive more than a week."

Iemitsu had been raging when he heard this and almost killed the doctor if not for Nana stopped him. His baby, his apple of life and his most precious son was going to die because of the poison inflicted by the Farley Famiglia.

The week seemed like a hundred years as Iemitsu and Nana stood outside and watching over their baby, surrounded by so many tubes and machines to keep him alive. He was really pale. The slow breathing of him pained his parents as they were afraid that at any time the tiny heart would stop beating.

The clock was ticking until it was finally the time the doctor predicted that their son would leave this world. As Iemitsu and Nana watched with sadness at the baby boy, they refused to believe that they would lose their light of life, the source of their happiness.

Around this time, Tsuna was sickeningly pale and blue and his breathing is barely heard and seen rising. They wait and wait for the tiny heart to stop beating. But Tsuna seemed to be holding on, as if he knew that if he left, his parent would be sad.

A week became two weeks. Two weeks became a month. A month became three months.

It's really driving Iemitsu mad. He cannot concentrate in his work because he was worried too much about his son. But between the madness, he managed to destroy the Farley Famiglia and burn every single one of them to ashes. The price for making his son suffered.

And then three months became one year.

Somehow, Nana managed to get pregnant again. After one year and 9 months that Tsuna went in coma, his baby brother, Sawada Hijiri was born. This baby looked like a mini Tsuna except for his blond hair that he got from his father. The arriving of their new son somehow healed Iemitsu and Nana's heart. But they still loved and hoped that Tsuna would soon wake up from the deep slumber so that he can meet his baby brother.

Somehow for Iemitsu and Nana, between the coma son and healthy new son, they pay more attention to Hijiri. As they see that their first son would continue his deep slumber. Iemitsu loved and taught his second son the thing that they failed to do with Tsuna. He teaches Hijiri to crawl, stand and talk. His first word is 'pama', the combination of papa and mama. Nana has been squealing like crazy at hearing Hijiri's first word. The lost family that she has been longing for is finally built again with the arriving of Hijiri.

Because of this, they somehow shortened and cut their visiting time to Tsuna until they stopped seeing the comatose child, leaving him alone in the dark white hospital room.

Hijiri has attracted too many hearts, especially Nono and his two sons, Xanxus and Giotto and other too. They loved Hijiri and were really spoiling him. They taught him many 'magic' things, as Hijiri would call it. He was two years old when his first flame appeared. They had been shocked to see the sky flame on Hijiri's forehead at such a young age. But for his safety, Nono has to seal it until he is at the right age to control such power.

Hijiri was really intelligent and managed to learn both Japanese and Italy at the age of three.

The same time and year Tsuna opened his dull honey brown eyes.

Tsuna who was 4 years and 7 months, or correctly almost 5 years, finally opened his eyes. The dull honey brown eyes weren't used to light after the long-term darkness; he shut his eyes immediately at the striking light of sun. He whimpered at the uneasiness and pain in his eyes. He cannot move his body and the numbness really confused him. Losing the first education as a baby which he was supposed to learn a few years earlier really left the boy in a shocked state. He cannot form any word or even thinking.

So he does what his instinct told him to do, cry. The cry was soft and barely heard. One of the nurses, who were currently taking care of Tsuna, was coming to check his condition and instead she was shocked by the crying child who was supposed to be in coma. Stunned for a while, she finally snapped when the dull eyes finally directed to her, crying for help. The nurse ran outside and frantically called for the nearest available doctor.

They checked him and were shocked that the boy is free from the poison, but it still left effects on his body. They called his parents and Iemitsu and Nana along with Hijiri rushed to the hospital after hearing the news about Tsuna's awakening.

Nana nearly fainted seeing her son again after so long and Iemitsu cannot hold his tears and cried hard while hugging Tsuna. Hijiri is confused by the situation and kept quiet at the end of his brother's bed, observing the situation.

They kissed his forehead over and over. Tsuna is confused by the action of the two people, but doesn't really know how to respond since he was still in the state of baby. Only in his mind actually. But he somehow knows these two people and they looked familiar to him. For the first time Tsuna smiled, although his parent didn't notice it.

After that happy moment, once again the news from the doctor broke Iemitsu and Nana's heart. Their son had escaped death, for now. After they checked him for the traces of remaining poison and found none. They don't exactly know how his body could dispose the deathly poison. The after effect because of the poison broke their hearts.

Tsuna's heart was weakened by the poison. He will have hard time living after this. This kind of heart can only keep their son alive for another 5 years or less. To finally escape death to find another death door at their son's feet really crumbled Iemitsu and Nana's hearts.

How can they cope with this anymore? It's painful to see their beloved child have to battle for his life again.

And so Tsuna began his treatments, learning to walk and training his muscle to help him controlling his body and also learning to talk and learn the language. It was really difficult for Tsuna. Hearing people talking around him and he didn't understand a bit of it and his body still refused to move and it's painful to him.

After the news, Iemitsu and Nana tried their best to distance themselves from Tsuna. Afraid of loving him more than now; afraid that they cannot take any more of these situations; afraid to hope more when they knew there will be no hope anymore for their son.

~only one true sky~

Tsuna's progress was really slow, it took three years for him to walk without wobbling and talk with the correct words. He was loved and hated by many people especially Nono, who still loved him the same after so many years. But Xanxus didn't like Tsuna because he thinks the brat is useless and trash. Giotto on the hand, loved Tsuna too, but he is closer to Hijiri than Tsuna since the blond child was with him from the beginning.

Tsuna's parents don't really pay him any attention to him anymore and leave him be. They let him learn things by himself. It's not like he will survive enough to learn about other things in life. Three years had gone by and it would be another two painful years to come until their son would finally die.

Tsuna, 8 years old, is quite intelligent, but the uselessness in him blinded people from his talent. He learned that Iemitsu is his papa and Nana is his mama. He also learned that Hijiri is his brother. He tried to show affection toward his parents when Nono had taught him about how parent and child were supposed to act with each other.

But the reaction he gets is always the same. They ignored him. He is confused. Why? What had he done?

Tsuna tried his hardest after that and refuses to bulge. He sees that his parent treated Hijiri better than him. They hugged him, gave him presents, kissed his cheeks and forehead and always spent time with Hijiri. Why wouldn't his parent do the same to him? He is confused.

Tsuna had asked his grandfather why his parent acted like that around him. Nono almost didn't want to tell him and decided to twist the real story. The talk with Iemitsu three years ago was ringing in his ear. He learned that Iemitsu and Nana refused to take care of Tsuna after they know about Tsuna's condition.

(Flashback)

"Why are you doing this to Tsuna, Iemitsu? He is just a child, a confused one and lacks parental love." Nono had stated as he sit face to face with Iemitsu who had stern face.

Iemitsu shut his mouth. As if he was thinking about his answer and trying to sort them out.

"Iemitsu, I'm asking you. Why are you ignoring him? He needs your support at times like this." Nono continued.

But Iemitsu remained silent.

"Trying to be mute?"

No response from Iemitsu.

"Iemitsu!" This time Nono's voice became serious. He doesn't like being ignored.

"We are afraid to hope more!" Iemitsu burst and buried his face with his hands. Tears were threatening to fall. "It's really burdening me and Nana. We cope with this pain for five years and hoping for no more pain, but another thing came and trying to shatter me and Nana's hearts. We thought he would live after survived the poison, but that hope was crushed. He will not live to see this world any longer! He doesn't have a chance to explore this world because of his heart! Nor we have any chance to repair the bond!"

Nono was about to answer when Iemitsu continue his talk.

"No…why should we repair the already broken bond?"

"Iemitsu!"

"I won't waste my time with him and ignore Hijiri! Hijiri is my centre of life now. He will become the next leader after me. I won't waste any energy with Tsuna and leave Hijiri alone. Hijiri is healthy and will live longer than his brother. Why should I sacrifice him for Tsuna? Tsuna will die! There is no hope for him anymore!"

Nono had watched the man crumble. He didn't say anything after that. He dismissed him before Nono himself thinking on how to spend time with his grandson, his poor grandson.

(End Flashback)

"Your parents are having stress and trouble situations right now, Tsuna. They are not ignoring you." Nono smiled at his grandson that currently sitting at his lap and staring curiously at him.

"But they treat Hi-chan nicely. They smile, hug him and kiss him. They also gave him a lot of presents. Why wouldn't they do that to me too, grandpa?"

Nono really didn't like twisting story. It is the same as lying. So he decided to end this conversation.

"No, Tsuna. Just give them time and they will treat you nicely later. Now, why don't you learn with uncle Asari about Japanese, ok?"

"Ok." Tsuna quietly muttered. He got off his grandpa lap and ran to the study room where his nice uncle Asari is currently waiting.

Nono sighed as soon as Tsuna is out of the room. How will his future be like? He really hopes his grandson can live longer than predicted. It's sad and painful to think that someday those honey brown eyes would completely vanish from its light. Just thinking about it brings great pain to his chest.

Maybe this is how Iemitsu and Nana felt everyday of their life for the past 8 years.

So, how is it?

So, please tell me your opinion about this and review~ :)
