Target 03: Development – Also known as: Wherein Tsuna curse whatever it is that is hell bent in making him suffer Reborn just for his own amusement.
-----
Being reborn, Tsuna cringes at that- he just couldn't help but think that this might as well be some sort of punishment from his dead tutor-slash-advisor, as a baby with no other way of walking or communicating with anyone is boring. Even for the one whom ranked first with the most patience by his surrogate little brother and resident Ranking Prince Fuuta.
It didn't help that he feels vulnerable.
He gurgles happily at his cooing mother as he tries to ignore his thoughts. It's no use thinking of something like this- at least now he could be able to observe his new family without suspicion and gather some facts of them as well.
His mother's name is Nura Wakana.
He ignores the whispers of his intuition as his mother smiles at him.
Okaa-san reminds him so much of his Okaa-chan, Kyoko and Nanako combined.
He smiles back as he ignores the slight clenching of his heart.
Wakana-okaa-san is very kind, a bit of ditzy and unknowing but still means well. Tsuna couldn't remove the small feeling of seeing the most important women on his life in one person. She would always gently put him into sleep and when he is awake, she would make his father play with him or entertain him.
Father…
He couldn't believe that he had a father that is there for him in this life. Nura Rihan is a rather calm and collected; he could soothe him in a way only Reborn could before. While very much like a rain, he also has the playfulness and mischief of a mist. He was the ideal father Tsuna had wished and hoped for when he was still that lonely child.
Tsuna is not as oblivious as before though. He knew there is something off about his father- especially with how those yōkai seemed to defer to him and follow his commands. They even listen to Rihan-otou-san! There's also the fact that his father is an absolute flirt. He could see it whenever he interacts with other women. Although he had to say, even when his father flirts with women Tsuna could still see that he loves his mother and stayed absolutely loyal to her.
And then there's his grandfather, Nurarihyon. Tsuna could help but shiver in fear the moment he had seen his apparently really old grandfather. His hyper intuition had continued to warn him of the dangerous entity. It never stopped until his grandfather finally showed Tsuna that he's not a threat.
To say that Tsuna had thrown a tantrum the moment his grandfather held him was an underestimation, he had wailed so strongly as though Reborn found him and decided to have him try out one of his lovely 'tutoring' methods.
At least something good came out of his tantrum. Those yōkai avoided or stayed away from him for a while before his father decided to make them babysit him.
Tsuna usually sleeps and rarely interact with anyone else aside from his parents, grandfather and some trusted yōkai that were usually called to watch over him or play with him. It amuse the former Mafia Don whenever he would speak meaningless words and how these babysitters of his would run around trying to understand his nonsensical words.
And before he knew it, Tsuna was already turning one year old- which means that his parents were starting to expect him to start doing his milestones. Like walking and talking properly- and Tsuna couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of the proud and happy expression of his family.
That still doesn't fill the gaping hole and emptiness within his chest that only his guardians and Family could fill though.
I miss them so so much.
