Chapter: 1 - Of Beaches and Quirks

~

At the age of twenty-three, Nana finally experienced her first--and possibly last--childbirth, and she must say, it was quite the painful experience that she wishes not to go through again.

The head doctor and the nurses constantly told her to breathe, push, and that she was doing well, but hell, nobody exactly taught her how to push! Not even halfway through the whole procedure, she was clutching her husband's hand and the sheets under her as if they were lifelines.

It was at that moment when Iemitsu first learned not to mess with a woman during labor; of course, he learned it through the hard way. It was quite the experience for him, too, hearing and seeing his lover cursing and screaming colorful phrases that contrasted her Quirk. Was childbirth really that bad? He thanked God that he was a man, but also mentally apologized to all women for the pain they had to go through.

"You better be sorry, Iemitsu! And you better be fucking glad I'm taking your place in this goddamn delivery, jackass, because it feels like my asshole is being ripped! Oh, wait, it is!"

Oh, nevermind. He said that out loud, not mentally.

In the end, they both thought their experiences were worth it because they paid off and the couple earned a special treasure in return.

A treasure the newly-parents named Sawada Tsuna.

At the age of four, Tsuna moved from Namimori to Musutafu, the city of heroes.

Moving for the first time at such a young age didn't bother the girl much, considering the fact that she barely made any friends, and even if she did, she wasn't that close to them.

Namimori in general, however, was missed dearly, especially by her parents. It was where her parents met, where her parents married, where she was born. Many eventful memories created by Iemitsu and Nana lied in the small town.

Tsuna liked the new house, though. It was a nice shade of yellow, soothing the eyes of passersby with its pale color, compared to the boring white of their previous house. It was big and roomy, too, with enough room for little Tsuna to play around! It took a bit of time to get used to the sounds of the big city (cars, loud crashes from accidents or destroyed areas,  screams/shouts, heroes/villains).

Namimori was usually peaceful after all; there was little to no crimes.

(It's because of this that Iemitsu questions himself whether or not he made a good choice...)

Luckily, Tsuna gained a friend on the third day of living here in Masutafu!

All the boxes were unpacked, and the house was decorated the way the Sawada family liked it. After two days of cleaning and moving the furniture, kitchen items, decor, and etcetera, Iemitsu and Nana decided to take a one-day vacation at Dagobah Municipal Beach Park, which was only a two-mile drive away from their new house. They didn't leave Tsuna, of course.

She was ecstatic when she saw the clear, blue waters of the ocean, the bright, tan sand near the shores, and the weather! Oh, the weather was absolutely perfect. There were so many people with a variety of appearances, with a variety of Quirks, too!

Tsuna immediately fell in love with the beach; her parents laughed when she excitedly expressed her thoughts.

While playing beach volleyball with her father, she suddenly heard a soft wind chime and failed to hit up the colorful, plastic ball. Tsuna looked around, trying to find where the pleasant sound came from.
