This story would be updated at least once a week. Please expect a slow update as well. As for disclaimers, I don't want to keep repeating it so I'll say it now: I don't own KHR. Enjoy!
400 years ago
Red. Red is all he sees on the floor. The smell of iron, blood, filled the air. Corpse, corpses are strewn all over the barren ground. He raises his hands and saw blood stained gloves. He looks around, feeling pain, pain and more pain. He lost almost everyone that he loved and cared for. His lover and guardians all tried to defend the family but the enemy famiglia killed them all in the heated battle. He could nearly break down and cry but with his enemy still standing, he knew that it still was not the time to. One of the boss' subordinates charged at him, only to be knocked unconscious immediately.
"Vongola Primo! This will be YOUR last!" The Boss declared aloud after seeing the last of his subordinates down. It was only him and Primo standing on this tainted battleground. He brings out his main weapons, a set of silver daggers and sets them on his sides. He readied his stance and gave off a scary aura. It, however, did not scare his opponent. Primo did no back down.
His anger rose as he sees his opponent. Said man had killed all his loved ones. Primo's eyes flickered between a lighter shade of orange and a darker shade of orange (1). A clear orange flame sprouted on his forehead. His black and silver gloves are decorated with the same flame as his forehead. His eyes finally settled for the darker orange, showing pure determination and the thirst of protecting the peaceful future he hopes. He gathers his final ounce of flames into his glove, turning them into a gauntlet.
"No, this would be YOUR last!" Primo shouts. They charged at each other and struck at the same time. Despite going at the same time, Primo was faster and struck his opponent's chest, taking him down but he himself has gotten his fatal wound. The boss fell flat onto the burning floor; no sign of life can be seen from him. Primo staggers and falls on his back, gripping his blood stained chest.
This is the end already. Hahaha, I'm pathetic. Saying that I would never kill but here, I have taken away one's life. Hahaha. He stares at the blue ring on his finger and recalls all the memorable things that happened in his life. He recalls everything that he still wants to do with his family. I still want to do all the paperwork Daemon and Alaude bring in. I still want to hear Alaude's catchphrase while he charges at me during sparring sessions. I still want to eat sweets, cakes and many more with Lampo. I still want to laugh with Asari when G. gets mad. I still want to sit in the church and pray with Knuckle. I still want to travel around with my love and my child. If it will happen, I want to meet all of you again in the future. He felt his life seeping away from him. He forced a laughter out of his dry lips. No good, I will die. See you all, in the future. He closes his eyes and loses his grip on his chest, smiling. Rain pelted down from the sky slowly, washing away the blood on the ground. The storm rumbled harder as the sun dims behind the clouds. The mist thickens, trying its best to hide the gruesome sight. The thunder clashed, like its crying for its sky.
Then his ring glowed, as if answering his request.
400 years later, October 14
A new born baby was born into the world, his parents crying tears of joy. The doctors took measurements and observations about the infant. The child is causing a fuss between the doctors and nurses. Why so? The child did not cry like how normal children are supposed to. Instead, his eyes opened wide and a clear orange colour shown in his eyes. This phenomenon has frightened many doctors.
Inside the files, this has occurred to another few individuals. In the past few months, there were children like him. However, their eyes glow a different shade before reverting to their former colours. There were three cases last year and the first case occurred two years ago.
Soon, the orange colour simmered away and brown appeared in the eyes. The doctors quickly brought the child's parents to their room. They quickly went to the meeting room after gathering the doctors. The screen in the room was pulled down as well and it displayed a man with black hair. In front of each doctor are seven different coloured folders. One by one, they flipped open the files.

The doctors shook their heads. Will this be the last case or the will there be more? "The colour left would be green. If there is a case of glowing green eyes, then I think that would be the last case." The doctor on the screen declares, breaking the silence that was built up. The others nodded their heads in agreement. "Wait for the last colour to appear and we can safely close the case. Dismissed." The doctors packed up and left the room, the screen still on. The man closed his eyes and thought, have to tell Nono. He dials on the phone, dialling the ID of someone named 'Nono'.
"Nono, Iemitsu's son also has the same thing. The cases seemed to be connected."
"Like a chain of reincarnations. Thank you Shamal."
Vongola HQ
Nono sits quietly behind his desk, thinking of the time when he took the Vongola Trial.
{flashback}
He wakes up in the middle of space, darkness surrounding him. Images suddenly flashed in his mind, sins of the Vongola family. He clutches his head, not wanting to see the images any longer. He kept telling the images to stop but to no avail. Tears start to stream down his cheek. Suddenly, a voice spoke.
"Never avert your eyes. This is the fate of those who succeed the Vongola. That's the very reason that you have life." Voices of shouting and screaming continued to ring in his head. However hard he tried, the voices won't go out.
"You cannot gain power without paying the price! If you truly want great power, you need to have the resolve to succeed the great history of Vongola." It's a must? Then I'd rather not, it's too painful. I don't want power to destroy!
"If I have to kill, then I don't want to succeed Vongola. I'll rather destroy it and build it anew and continue what my mother is trying to do. To bring it back into how Primo started it as, a vigilant group to protect the people!" Nono declared. The area brightened up, forcing him to close his eyes. He opened them up slowly and found himself in the middle of the sea and the sky. In front of him were two rows of the Vongola Bosses. One by one, they lit up their own weapons with their flames. The view is beautiful but when he looked at the throne that appeared, he was bewildered.
"Why is it, empty?" He asked aloud. Instead of a reply, a remark was given. "Who knows, but we accept your determination. Prosper or destroy, it would be your choice." All of them chanted, as if they have heard the phrase many times despite this being the eighth trial. Nono smiled at his mother and she smiled back, proud of her son.
{end of flashback}
"Just why is that throne empty? The throne should be occupied by Primo right?" He thought aloud. "I'm afraid that question is unanswerable, Timoteo." A familiar voice to Nono said. "I didn't meet G either, same goes to the others as well. None of us met the first generation. Weird huh, it's like the first generation's will was never in the ring."
"Hello, Coyote." He smiles at his storm guardian. "How's Gokudera?" He looked to his right and a vein popped immediately. "Don't mention that brat's name! All he is capable of doing is cry! And I want to see his eyes glow red again but I hadn't seen it till now. I still can't handle babies!" If you're squinting your eyes, you can see a raging storm flame behind Coyote.
"Ah, a pity then. I heard that Iemitsu's son had the same thing as well, except that his son's is orange. Of course, being the oblivious one, Iemitsu did not see it. Shamal reported it to me." Nono added more flames into the already burning aura by stating the name 'Shamal'.
"That pervert told you?!" Nono smiled sheepishly at him. "He'll tell me what I want him to tell me. And it's natural for males like him to go hitting on females that fit his taste, for example l-"
"I don't want to know. Anyway, here's the new set of paperwork for you." He cuts into Nono's going-to-be-extremely long description and brought the huge stack onto the table. Nono stares at the paper and bangs his head onto the table. Urgh, paperwork. Whoever my dear heir is, please take over me quickly! "And don't you dare slack off." Coyote warns. Nono let out a groan. Just as Coyote was about to leave, Nono stopped him. "What now?"
"I have a feeling that these kids are reincarnations of the first generation. The colour reflected in their eyes could be their flame type. And how the throne is empty, they may be the reason why the will of the first generation is missing." Coyote stood in silence and noticed how the hypothesis fits. "Maybe you're right, since you have the intuition. Knowing Iemitsu, who would be cooing over his adorable son right now, he must have missed the eyes. Call him." Nono don't need to be told twice as he did so immediately.
He picks up his phone and dialled for Iemitsu.
"Come back soon, there's things I need to discuss with you and something you have to know about your son."
"Ah, I see. Then I'll come back by next year. Now I want to keep company with my wife. AH! My son is so cute!"
Sighs... "Alright then, see you soon."
8 years later
"The hopefully last case has appeared. He is the Bovino corporations's heir named Bovino Lambo. His eyes glowed green and simmered down later. His eyes are actually green so we nearly missed it. He, like the other cases, cried only after the glowing was over." The Doctor from Italy stated.
The doctors from Japan heaved a sigh of relief. The (hopefully) last case had occured and their nightmare had ended. However, they are still puzzled over the phenomenon and are still looking into it. Little did they know that it was connected to 400 years ago, the reincarnations of the first generation of the Vongola which the world know as the Vongola corporation. And the Ninth generation of the Vongola corporation had this theory ready with a research plan.
14 years later
"Okaa-san, Ohayo" a young boy with brown gravity defying hair, wearing his school uniform, yawned as he proceeded down the stairs. On the way down, he tripped and tumbled down the stairs, earning a bump on his head. He picks himself up and hurries to the kitchen and plopped down on a chair immediately. Drooling on the food placed in front of him, he said thanks for the food and began to dig in. The silence filled with the slurping sound was broken as soon as a brunette lady cut in.
"You know Tsu-kun, I found an interesting pamphlet this morning in the mailbox and called them immediately. Here!" She hands him a small piece of paper. Tsuna widens his eyes at the note. And the first word that came to mind was: Scam. Why?
I will raise your child to become a leader of the next generation.
I am young and good-looking.
Payment would be lodging and food and I will tutor your child for 24 hours.
"But I don't need a tutor! 'Payment would be lodging and food'? And who the heck describes himself as 'young and good-looking'? Isn't it obvious that it's a scam? I'm doing fine!" Tsuna protested. He does not want anyone tutoring him when he has Kurokawa-san helping him in his studies. And she alone is one Spartan tutor. He doesn't want -no, he doesn't need another. However, it was too late. The doorbell rang. He ran to the door and opened it. Huh? There's no one. Suddenly, he felt an aura emitting from the ground and so he looked down.
"Ciaossu!" Tsuna nearly jumped backwards but kept his cool like what his instincts tell him. "You're my new tutor aren't you?" But you're an infant! The infant smirked. "My name is Reborn and I suppose you're Sawada Tsunayoshi?" Tsuna looked at the infant and at the corner of his eye, he caught a yellow pacifier hanging around the neck. Suddenly, something throb and rang in his head. He lowered his head and covered his eyes with his long bangs. Slowly, he mumbled. "Arcobaleno." The infant looked at him in curiosity as he clutches his head. He decided to ignore the throbbing pain and stood up, getting ready to leave for the kitchen when a hard kick landed on him head.
"What did you say?" Reborn asked, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. How Tsuna knew the word was a mystery. All he did was look at the pacifier and his head starts hurting and before he knew it, he thought of the name 'Sepira' and mouthed the word 'Arcobaleno'. He shook his head and looked at the clock. Sweat trickled down his face profusely. I'm gonna be late! And he's gonna bite me to death! However, his thought was too loud and his mother together with Reborn heard it. His mother rushed out and handed Tsuna his bento as he runs out. "I'll be going now!" He yelled with a piece of bread in his mouth. Reborn looks at his new student and decides to follow. Interesting...
(1) Primo's eye are not blue. They are actually orange, just a lighter shade compared to HDWM.
(2) 'Gi. D. Christine Children Hospital' is taken from a name of a real hospital but due to reasons, I tweaked the overall spelling.
