2 A painful first date.

Good-For-Nothing-Tsuna was the nickname I was given when I was 10 years old.

I wasn't good at studies, I wasn't good at sports, I didn't have a Quirk, my clothes and hair were always messy and dirty among other things. Everything came together to give me that title.

Of course these things weren't my fault. I'm good at studies, but I can't show it. In sports I don't have much to say, I didn't have a correct growth so unlike Ichigo, I'm short and weak. Messy clothes, I try my best, until I manage to dress up properly, but Ichigo always does something to me on the way to school so I always arrive in a mess.

Anyway, that's how I was recognized at school, thanks to that I don't have any friends to this day, always alone and lonely. I still remember when someone tried to befriend me, his school life was completely destroyed. To get out of that he can only join Ichigo's group.

Now he's there, fawning over Ichigo as he tries to come up with ideas for games they can play with me as they leave the classroom.

Hah. Smiling... Smiling is what you should do in these moments, however painful it may be. That's how All Might does it, so I should do it too...

But.... Because I can't smile ?...

I can only sigh and leave the classroom. Nana is waiting for Ichigo outside of school today, Ichigo doesn't like it when I leave with them so I can only take an alternate route.

The sun is already setting, but for me this is a joy, as I don't have to go home and my schoolmates can't be out, this is the best time to be at peace. No Bully, no pain, just me, the sky and tranquility.

Or is that what I expected... Some people's scream of pain, the sound of something hitting flesh (something I recognize well) sounds in one of the streets near me.

I wanted to ignore it, I swear... But something inside me, something that's been hurting me since I was a kid, rose. Taking a deep breath I run towards the sound of struggle.

When I arrived at the place, I was able to see what was happening or at least imagine what happened.

Several children older than me, ages 14 to 16, were sprawled on top of each other, while on top of them was another child maybe the same age as me, a boy with black hair and eyes holding tonfa in each hand.

"Hum?. Another herbivore arrived here?." The boy said as he stared at me.

In a way it was calm, the situation didn't look any different from what I'm used to.

"Why did you hit them?." I stare at the boy directly as I ask him.

"I hate weak Herbivores trying to act like carnivores walking in groups." I feel my brow furrow at this response.

"How about you get off them so they can go home?." I ask as I take a deep breath, I can't leave these people here.

"Uah. What an interesting herbivore trying to order me around." Something like a smile appeared on the boy's face.

"Those herbivores didn't even keep me warm, I hope you have a more interesting Quirk." The boy with tonfas in his hand jumped off the huddle of children.

I looked directly at the black haired boy.

"You know, you shouldn't hurt others like that." I say as a certain heat fills my chest, I raise my fists. I'm not strong, I don't even know how to fight, so I don't understand why I'm up against someone so scary.

Without answering me, the boy ran towards me and attacked me with his tonfas. The attack came so fast I didn't understand how I dodged it.

The boy looked at me surprised, so was I. But before I could even have a second thought, I felt pain and burning in my belly.

After dodging the first attack, a second one came towards my belly and this time I didn't have a chance to dodge.

The pain was great, making me drop to my knee as I held my stomach. The fight didn't last even a second...

"Hm." The raven-haired boy didn't even give me a second look before turning away.

I saw him walking towards the boys and not knowing why, I got up.

"Wait, I'm not done yet." I looked directly at the black-haired boy again.

"Hm." Again without an answer the black-haired boy ran towards me.

Without knowing it, my eyes glowed orange at this moment.

The attack was the same as before, I dodged the attack that came towards my head. The second came towards my stomach which this time was prepared and I dodged it.

But the attacks weren't over, I could only keep dodging the barrage of attacks.

For some reason I felt the boy's movements slow and before I knew it, I felt one of my punches connect with the boy's cheek.

Again the boy looked at me in surprise.

Courage filled my heart, maybe if I defeat him... Just maybe... I can be a hero.

"Interesting." A cold wind passed me, that was also the last thing I heard before I suffered one of the biggest beatings I've ever suffered.

I don't know how long it took, but when I realized the sky had darkened and I was lying on the ground, pain raging in every corner body.

Without knowing when, the children the black-haired boy had defeated had fled. The only one left here was me and this black-haired boy.

"I think I ended up here. You is an interesting herbivore, what's your name?." The black haired boy asked me with his expressionless face.

"Sawa...Sawada Tsunayoshi." I replied a little airy with the pain still.

"I see. Tomorrow I'll meet you again herbivore." The black haired boy said as he packed his tonfas and walked away, leaving me lying alone.

I still didn't hear any last words from him. Anyway all I could do was get up and walk away with a limp. I always knew I couldn't be a Hero, but...

"Damn…" A tear of frustration ran down my cheek.
