The Flame Chosen (Slow Update & Rewrite)

After

Morning has come upon the Sawada household, a woman is cooking breakfast while humming.

Upstairs in one of the room, a boy is getting dressed in his school uniform and let out a small smile when something nudges behind him.

He turn around and looked down to see a black dog with red eyes, carrying his schoolbag.

He kneels to scratch behind its ear and takes his bag. "Arigatou Aka," (1) he said before standing up and walking through the door and going downstairs with Aka following behind.

Aka is a dog that was brought to him when he was 8 years old. His mother, Nana immediately agreed to his request with one condition; he was to train, feed, and bathed him.

Unknown to her, Aka is a hellhound that was brought to him as a gift from Kuro. His abilities are rather useful. His eyes glow so he can see well in the dark, saliva is dripped with venom that created poison which is killed instantly by threats AKA enemies of his so-called father, and lastly, a fireball and flame thrower which is unsurprised considering how Aka came from the Underworld/Hell.

"Morning Kaa-san," he greets her before kissing her cheek.

"Morning Tsu-Kun!" She smiled at him and place two pairs of plates before them on the table.

Aka sniffed the bowl he prepare early in the morning and dive down to eat.

"Ne Tsu-Kun,"

"Hm?"

"A letter came through the mail."

"What is it?"

"It is said that a tutor will raise you to be a leader and free of charge!"

"Don't you find it a scam?"

"Oh but I already call."

Tsuna sighs. She can be oblivious and airheaded most of the time.

Aka twitched one of his ears as if he agreed to his thoughts. He reached down to rub his head as the tail started to wag slightly.

He looked at the clock on the wall, and quickly finish his breakfast before standing up and kissing his mother's cheek once more.

"Gotta go Kaa-san," he said racing to the front door and putting on his shoes. "I am going now!"

Aka barked after him.

"Itterashai~!"

Once outside, he closed the door and let out a black leash from his pocket. Aka jumped excitedly before standing still so he could put it on the red collar.

He grabbed the orange skateboard and his helmet, put it on, and place the skateboard on the ground before stepping firmly on it.

"Let's go, boy!"

Aka barked twice before running with Tsuna steadily holding the leash while sliding.

Feeling something tingling on the back of his neck, he glanced over his shoulder and his eyes were directed to the tree beside the house.

With a final look, they turned to the corner, and at the same time, a toddler with a black suit hopped off the tree, smirking.

"Interesting.."

Meanwhile, Tsuna and Aka are halfway toward the school when the voices are growling and hissing. The hellhound also sensed the changing atmosphere and growled lowly.

"I know," the brown-haired student hushed him gently. "It's time."

From afar, Kuro watched with growing hunger and let out a long moaning-like howl.

(1) Aka means Red if I am right.
