Chapter 1: You came

Chapter One: The Boy Who Sees Ghost

Sawada Tsunayoshi was unlike any other Japanese boy, he gets beaten up by bullies, loses his lunch money and other miserable things no average child will experience except when they reach elementary. Tsunayoshi was also left all alone by his parents. Just so the two could work in abroad, they left a nanny to take care of their boy. Supposedly, Tsunayoshi wouldn't have learned this information yet he had, through listening in with his caretakers calls. He was five at the time and little Tsunayoshi couldn't take the sadness he felt, preparing to suicide like what he saw in the movies, this is when his ability first opened...

"Gah!..." A five-year old boy with brown spiky hair and brown teary eyes nearly lost his balance while he stood near the edges of the house's roof. Staring down at the height, the boy fidgeted. "Kaa-san...Tou-san..."

Tears fell down the boy's doe-like eyes, stepping closer towards Death. "Maybe...They... They don't remember me anyymore...Leaving me with that woman.." Tsuna winces from the pain on his right arm. "They hate me...So I'll just end it-"

"Tsunayoshi-kun?.." A gentle voice called out, surprising the young boy. The brunette looked behind him to see the source of the voice. What he saw was a blond adult. The man had a hairstyle similar to his but dyed yellow, wearing a long cape with a golden attachment. Within the cape, he sees a black suit with a white undershirt added a black tie. The man was just standing there, holding his hand out. The one physical feature that really caught the boy's attention was this man's orange calm eyes. "Please don't do it."

"Who are you?" The five-year old named Tsunayoshi asked. Immediately moving away from his destined fall, instead heading towards the unknown figure. "Are you a friend?"

"You can see me?..." The man laughs as the young child tries to touch his hand which just passes though.

"Of course I can!" Tsuna smiles, jumping actively, staring at his new friend. "You must be a sign from Kami-sama! You will be my new friend!"

"Kami-sama huh?..." The man named Giotto wonders back, looking down at the happy child. He chuckles and replied back to Tsuna. "Call me Giotto then."

"Gio-nii it is!" Tsuna smiles, going back at the window, he shouts back to the adult. "Come on Gio-nii! Let's play inside instead."

"Okay.." When the child left, Giotto sighs. Looking up at the sky, he wonders to himself. "At least the great-great-great grandfather was able to persuade his descendant to not die yet."

"Gio-nii! Hurry up!"

Giotto smirks, walking towards the window to meet up with his latest offspring. 'The others can surely wait.'

And so that's when Tsunayoshi here gains his first friend, using the ability to see souls that is, but he does not know it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For three years, little Tsuna played and learned from his best friend, also known as Vongola Primo, Giotto. Giotto on the other hand, teaches everything he knows to Tsuna so he won't get hurt anymore. Giotto saw in his boy so much potential that he even taught his secret technique, the Zero Point Breakthrough. Within these years, Tsuna gathered even more friends from the other side, including his friend's friends...

"HHIIIEEE!" Tsuna screams in a high pitch voice, pointing at a brown insect. "Gio-nii! Help!"

The blonde chuckles, shooing it with his gloved hands, the insect immediately went away to hide in another area. "Tsuna-kun..." He patted the boy's head. "...It's just a cockroach. It won't hurt you."

"Really?" Tsuna sniffs, making the adult sigh.

"Yes..." Giotto smiles warmly, Tsuna instantly cheers up. "Let's go then."

"So this is where you went." The two stopped walking, slowly facing the figure behind them.

"Primo..." The man said with a tint of anger in his voice.

"Hmm?" Tsuna faced back along with his friend Giotto. The man Tsuna saw had pinkish-red hair, a darker shade of the man's hair for the eye color, a cool-looking red tattoo on the right side of his pale skinned face, the man's attire was a collared shirt which has few buttons opened, black pants and a loose green tie. The man held a cigarette, smoking very angrily.

"G..." Giotto moved away carefully, pulling Tsuna with him. "I can explain..."

"Explain what Primo?" Two men appeared, one dressed up like an Edo-period moble man while the other was a detective coat. Both seemed worried in their own calm way.

"Asari..." Primo moves one step back, Tsuna following him as well. "Alaude..."

"We searched everywhere for you...Primo." Another man came out, wearing a white flannel shirt and black pants. His light green hair covered his eyes.

'Bad hair day...' Tsuna questioned to himself, staring at the people his friend was worried about.

"LAMPO IS RIGHT!" An undeveloped shadow formed from out of nowhere, surprising the now-awakened green head. " WE'VE BEEN EXTREMELY SEARCHING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE!" A black-haired priest shouted, finally appearing.

"G-Guys..Hear me out..." Giotto looked around, seeing himself surrounded with his acquaintances. Tsuna sensed his awkwardness and thought he would change the subject.

"Hi! I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi! Who are you?~" Everyone including his friend looked at him strangely.

"You can see ghosts?!"

"Hmm?" Tsuna tilted his head innocently at the crowd, letting jaws drop from his apparent charms.

After this day, Tsuna finds out about his ability and blood heritage from his family and friends, deceased ones anyway... When Tsuna turned nine, his great-great-great grand father went away with his friends and was being guarded with his other dead relatives. The ghosts within a few days with the boy, became very protective of him. Even to the sense of ruining the life of all the living caretakers and classmates of Tsuna, good thing Tsuna tells them off though or there would be a massacre in Namimori.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the age of eleven, little Tsuna's ability deepened, giving the boy a mentality that these everyday-ghosts are just lonely people waiting for company and the complete use of telepathy (Tsuna's still working on the other psychic abilities). The other children and adults, not seeing or hearing anything from Tsuna's friends, consider Tsunayoshi mad and delusional. News reached his parents, his mother, Sawada Nana, sees this as simply a child phase wherein the children obtain an imaginary friend. Tsuna's father, Sawada Iemitsu, just orders the caretaker to teach his child to grow up. By this time Tsuna was in elementary, used to getting beaten up by his predators, established the thought that the only safe place was within his house. Tsuna's ghost friends, however, warned him from time to time. So when Tsuna reaches home and gets scolded by his nanny, he remained silent, not uttering a single word. Sadly, Tsuna's set of friends were the ones who got angry instead...

"There is no ghosts brat!" The woman slapped the new visitor who entered the house. "Because of your stupidity, my salary decreased!"

"I'm sorry.." Tsuna bows down, seeing his caretaker pull out a broom, he looks down waiting for his punishment.

*Swish! Pak! Pak!*

"Noo!" The woman shrieked angrily, hitting Tsuna harder. "You're lying! Just like the other days you promised me!"

*Swish! Pak! Pak!*

"Please.." Tsuna whispers pleadingly, still not showing any weakness that might anger his caretaker any more. "...I'll stop!"

When the pain stopped and subsided, Tsuna felt something wet on his back and guessed that he was bleeding. Standing fully to stare at the calmed woman, Tsuna felt a cold breeze beside him, whispering to him soft words..

"Head to bed and cover your ears..."

"Go back to your room. No supper." The woman barked, the brunette nodded submissively. Looking at the three unseen figures which is his appointed ghost-babysitters/friends.

"Yes, miss Aki."

When Tsuna finally went away, the woman named Aki saw the lights flicker. "What the-?"

"The trash noticed..." Three silhouettes appeared next to the door scaring the lady, she went towards the kitchen to pull her gun, a revolver, towards them.

"Who are you?!" Aki screamed, hearing only grim chuckles. The man in the middle steps forward, his physical appearance showing out of the darkness. This man had green eyes and black long hair, having pointed sideburns in both sides and wore a black suit, Mafia style.

"Who-Who ARE YOU?!" Aki was pointing her gun at them, trembling. "Are you a Mafia?!"

"Shut up..." His green eyes gleamed with wrath, walking to the woman with no fear. "Woman."

"Sorry for Secondo's behalf, but...You see..." The second shadow revealed itself, posing as another mafioso. This man was different from the other, he wore a darker-shade of grey color of tuxedo and is mostly bald except for the two sole black horn-shaped hair pointing from the top and at the back of his head. "We were assigned by Primo to guard this child."

"And it seems.." The last one showed itself at last. A man having light brown hair and some facial hair added with a brown coat for his clothing, he just frowned at the shaking lady. The man named Secondo finally reached the woman's location, grabbing the woman's neck with his right hand, he started raising her up. "We decided to eliminate you..."

"S-Stop!" Aki struggled in vain, trying to hold the hand strangling her. "I-I..didn't...mean to...I can't breath!"

"Go die." His right hand glowed, making the woman's trigger finger shoot, the bullet passed through the weird-hairstyled man.

"If you were alive that would hurt you, Terzo." The man with light-brown hair chuckled, staring down at the area where the bullet passed through, the groin.

"Shut up Quarto." The man named Terzo replied back, staring at the laughing man.

"I-I.." Aki didn't know why but she felt herself being burnt at the same time strangled by this Mafia man named Secondo. Looking down, she was horrified to see the man having no feet. Secondo just laughed.

"When you want to get your revenge woman." The man said, slowly consuming Aki's body into flames. "Call me...Second Vongola boss, Ricardo."

"I think you did too much Secondo..." Quarto sighs, looking at the burning corpse.

"Trash.." Secondo uttered, disappearing from sight. Both men just looked at each other in silence.

"So usual of Secondo..." Quarto commented, the other agreed as well until...

"Hey... We're no better are we? That boy is our pride." Terzo smiled then suddenly asks, looking around, his eyes widened. "Do you smell that?"

"Wha-" Quarto looked to that direction his companion was looking at and cursed. "Fuck."

"Better call the others then." Terzo was about to disappear until he was grabbed by the arm by Quarto.

"You insane?" Quarto hissed softly, pulling him closer to tell him something important. "If Primo finds out, we are so dead, maybe beyond dead even."

"Fine who should we call then?" Terzo looked up where a sleeping boy was residing in as smoke start to spread upward.

"Simora and Quinto." Quarto stood back proudly. "They're the best in this type of situation."

"Fine."

"I see we made an agreement then."

"Just don't blame me when Tsuna comes crying to 'him'."

"I won't. I'll be running for my life on that time."

The next day, Tsuna finds himself inside the police station, being questioned on what just happened yesterday. When Tsuna asked, the chief captain said to him. "A fire broke out in your house and you were the sole survivor." Looking closer at the boy, the man said suspiciously. "Freak accidents have been happening around you for too long Sawada...A coincidence perhaps?"

'My tenth nanny's gone then...' Tsuna shrugs, looking right back the police man's eyes. "Can I go now?"

"Where will you go? Your house was destroyed remember?" The man was trying to find evidence to use against the boy. Sadly, Tsuna ain't showing it. "You're going to stay in the hospital for a while as shelter while your house is being rebuilt.

"I doubt you need to rebuilt my house for my sake sir." Tsuna smiles cheerfully. "I heard that Otou-san is coming back to fetch me now..."

"Oh really?" The man leaned closer to the child. No, he was not obsessed with Tsunayoshi, but was a bit paranoid and mad at the child's mysterious past.

"Yup~! Within five months." Tsuna stands up, going to the door.

"Where are you going?" The man called off.

"Going to my new room Kenshi-san!" Tsuna calls off, walking outside the room.

"Oh-Wait!" The man stared up dumbly. "How did he know my name?!"

Because of that day, Tsuna stayed in the Namimori hospital, playing with more kindred and ill-changed-to-good-because-of-him spirits. He also met a nice purple-haired girl named Chrome. She doesn't like to talk much especially when her parents are around. Tsuna doesn't mind as long as he knows they are safe, he will be happy.

Until the five months pass that is.
