"Haha...what's wrong?"

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE!?"

Irina grasped the Tsuna's shoulders tightly as she looked him over with a worried expression.

Karasuma stood there, frozen, gazing at the bandages that were wrapped around the brunet's face with shock.

Tsuna smiled sheepishly at the two.

"I kinda tripped over a rock and fell down a hill, scraping my face up. I'm called 'Dame-Tsuna' by my clumsiness, ya' know."

Irina didn't look convinced--neither did Karasuma.

"Good morning my wonderful teache--NYGUUOOOOOOH!"

Tsuna glanced to the side and found a certain octopus there, who was a dark-blue with sweat pouring at the side of his head; the brunet smiled brightly.

"Ohaiyo, Koro-Sens--"

"Nyugah! Wh-What happened to you, Tsuna-kun!?"

The octopus was in front of Tsuna in an instant, checking the brunet over frantically.

Tsuna laughed nervously.

"Maa, I simply fell down a hill."

Koro-Sensei didn't look convinced and wrapped a tentacle around his right hand, where his rings were; bandages were also wrapped around there.

"Nyugah! It's around your fingers too!"

Koro-Sensei's face grew red.

"...I smell glass..."

Tsuna stiffened slightly; the three noticed immediately.

The brunet laughed nervously and tried to pry Koro-Sensei's tentacle off.

Read: tried.

The octopus wasn't going to let go of him anytime soon.

"Tsuna-kun....what really happened?"

The brunet avoided their gazes, using his other hand to tug his fedora down.

"M-Maa...class is about to start soon..."

Silence fell upon them; the three other teachers shared a look.

Koro-Sensei released the brunet and darted out of the room.

Tsuna sighed softly, but someone latched onto his arm.

Irina's eyes bore holes into his head.

"You are going no where."

The brunet sweatdropped and glanced over at Karasuma, who was standing in front of the doorway with a slight frown on his face.

'Mataku...' (Geez...)

~~

"Koro-Sensei? What's wrong?"

Everyone in the classroom sweatdropped as tears fell from the octopus's eyes in a never ending waterfall; he was currently a pale blue.

Koro-Sensei burst into even more tears.

"Bwaaaaah! I-It's Tsuna-kun! Sob, hic!"

The class blinked in surprise; Yuuma, the Ikemen, spoke up first, blinking his light, golden eyes.

"What's wrong with Sawada-Sensei?"

Koro-Sensei grabbed the dark-haired brunet by the shoulders.

"H-He won't tell--sniffle--what h-happened to him!" He shook the poor Ikemen around. "Bwaaaaah! He's so s-stubborn!"

Nagisa sweated slightly and grabbed the other's tentacle.

"Koro-Sensei. What happened?"

The octopus turned his tear-stained face to the bluenet.

"Ts-Tsuna-kun got injured!"

The class blinked in surprise.

'Eh?'

Suddenly, their electronic student appeared on her black box; her face was grim.

Karma notice and looked at the other; his smile wasn't as bright.

"What's up, Ritsu-chan?"

"...I know what happened to Sawada-Sensei."

Koro-Sensei was in front of the purplenette in an instant.

"What!? What happen, Ritsu-chan!?"

Ritsu looked down at the ground, tears pricking her eyes.

"I...went through some of the city cameras...and I found...Sawada-Sensei in one of them." She gripped the hem of her shirt tightly. "It would be better if you saw for yourself."

She disappeared and a video started to play.

It was a bit fuzzy, but it showed Tsuna walking down the road, gazing at the orange sky with a small, fond smile on his face.

There was a sound of crashing; some of the students jumped at the sudden noise.

Tsuna's narrowed his eyes and he quickly dashed around the corner; the camera switched scenes.

The next camera showed Tsuna's shocked expression as they showed a bunch of garbage workers throwing objects into the truck.

The brunet was over there in an instant.

"What....are. You. Doing?"

The students and Koro-Sensei noted how calm and controlled the brunet's voice was.

The fat man in the camera didn't seem to be affected; he sneered at Tsuna.

"I'm kicking you out, Dame-Tsuna."

Tsuna exhaled softly.

"...Why?"

Class E grimaced when the landlord's face contorted into a familiar expression.

It was one of 'superiority'.

"You haven't paid your rent! I expect you to pay it every day, brat!"

They watched as the rest of Tsuna's stuff got thrown into the garbage truck; some grit their teeth and clenched their fists.

The class thought that was the worst of it.

But then they saw as the landlord pulled out a picture frame from his suit.

He smashed it against Tsuna's face; his fedora flew off of his head.

Everyone gasped and widened their eyes; a few of the girls placed their hands over their mouths.

They watched as the landlord and the garbage workers laugh in front of Tsuna's bleeding face.

Then they left the brunet.

Tsuna stood there before crouching down to pick up the picture in the broken frame; everyone winced slightly when he cut his fingers.

The brunet sighed and said something incoherent before standing up.

The camera switched scenes so the class could see what Tsuna was looking at.

It was a picture of him as a child, holding hands with his mother.

Tsuna sighed before putting the picture in his pocket.

The brunet grabbed his fedora and walked away, not minding the fact that he was bleeding.

"I wonder where I should sleep tonight..."

Tsuna smiled as he looked up at the night sky.

"The stars are really beautiful tonight..."

The video stopped and Ritsu appeared before them, sniffling while rubbing her eyes.

The rest of the class was angry.

Even if was only day that passed, they could tell that the brunet was someone who didn't look down on them, mock them, or pity them.

He honestly cared for his students.

Koro-Sensei on the other hand....

"Outrageous...."

...His face was pitch black.

~~

"Neh...is this really necessary?"

Tsuna laughed nervously as Irina continued to restrain the brunet; Karasuma was was staring at the other.

The ravenet sighed, crossing his arms.

"You just need to tell us the truth, Sawada."

Tsuna sighed and glanced out of the window.

"...It's nothing reall--"

Rattle, bang!

The door opened, revealing a very angry Koro-Sensei.

The brunet blinked at the new color that greeted him.

'Black...so he's really, really pissed now.'

The octopus was in front of Tsuna, and the brunet felt Irina flinch slightly.

"Tsuna-kun..."

'Ah, he's using a demonic voice.'

"I know where you got those injuries." Tsuna froze up slightly. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Karasuma and Irina looked at the two with slight confusion; the World Languages teacher spoke first.

"What happened?"

Koro-Sensei's face faded to a dark red; his voice had a lighter edge to it.

"Tsuna-kun. Why didn't you tell us that you were kicked out of your apartment? And rather rudely I must say."

The two teachers blinked in surprise before looking at the brunet; Irina grabbed his shoulders.

"Is that true, Tsuna-kun?"

The brunet merely smiled sheepishly.

"Ah. But it's nothing serious."

A thought came to Karasuma.

"Where are you staying now?"

...Silence....

Tsuna was sweating while looking to the side, avoiding their gazes; Koro-Sensei edged closer to the brunet.

"Tsu~na~kun~! Where are you staying now~?"

".......The..."

Tsuna broke off, inwardly hoping that they wouldn't be mad.

"Where~?"

".....The....forest..."

The room suddenly darkened; Koro-Sensei was releasing some bloodlust, and his face became black once more

"........"

Koro-Sensei took a deep breath, and his face slowly faded to yellow as he exhaled.

"...Wait here."

The octopus disappeared for a mere few seconds.

Koro-Sensei was then back in front of the three; he was wearing construction clothes.

The octopus's usual grin was back as he wrapped a tentacle around Tsuna's arm.

"You are one of my teachers, therefore, you are also my responsibility, Tsuna-kun!"

The brunet blinked owlishly as he was tugged along; Koro-Sensei covered his eyes with his other tentacles.

Tsuna used his others senses and found that he was outside, judging by the smell of grass and flowers; He heard water run by and felt the wind brush against his face.

When Koro-Sensei removed his tentacles, Tsuna's eyes blinked in surprise.

There was a small, two story house there right next to a small stream in the middle of the forest; a few students--Terasaka and his group were nowhere in sight--were painting the walls.

Sugino noticed the two and groaned.

"Aw! Koro-Sensei! We're not done with it!" The teen waved his large brush around. "Even with your speed to build the structure, we didn't finish painting it!"

Koro-Sensei rubbed the back of his head.

"Gomen, gomen~! I was simply too excited."

"What...is this?"

Everyone turned to Tsuna, who was looking at them with shock.

Karma grinned as he walked up to the brunet.

"It's your new home."

Tsuna turned his wide eyes to the redhead.

"Eh?"

Nagisa smiled before also heading over to them, bowing as an apology.

"We're sorry to meddle in your private business, but we couldn't leave you alone." The bluenet smiled brightly. "Class E is supposed to be a family after all. And you're a part of it, Sawada-Sensei."

Tsuna widened his eyes further.

The brunet bowed his head and his shoulders shook slightly.

Nagisa started to get worried, as did the other students that went over to them.

"S-Sawada-Sens--?"

The brunet suddenly hugged the bluenet; Nagisa squeaked in surprise.

"Arigatou....."

His voice was so soft.

Tsuna let go of the teen before catching the others in a group hug.

"Arigatou, Mina-san!"

Everyone laughed as they also hugged the brunet back.

"No problem/you're welcome/teach us how to make pudding now!"

Nagisa blushed slightly in the embrace with everyone before smiling.

'It's really warm...'

"Let's finish painting it now!"

~~

"We're done!"

Tsuna wiped his brow, looking at the--coincidentally--orange house before him.

The other students sighed happily.

"We did it!"

Tsuna smiled brightly at the group.

"Arigatou."

Nagisa looked at the smile and pulled out his notepad, quickly writing something down.

Sawada-Sensei Fact #5: His real smile is very heart-warming.

~~

Tsuna flopped onto his new bed, staring at the ceiling above.

The brunet glanced at the lamp beside his bed and sighed softly.

"I swear...Koro-Sensei's almost like Reborn..."

Tsuna's eyes grew slightly sorrowful as he smiled softly.

"The only difference is their expressions though..."

The brunet chuckled softly.

His sunset-orange eyes flitted to the fedora hanging on the wall.

He sighed once more, turning his lamp off, snuggling deeper under the covers.

Tsuna smiled softly.

"I guess I'm quite the lucky guy..."
