Chapter one

From the dirty, blood soaked ground Tsuna stared up at Byakuran in horror. The man was meant to be dead. Clearly he was not and, from the look of his defeated guardians, he was stronger than ever. Tears began to appear at the corners of his eyes, and a lump formed in his throat as he thought of his friends. He had arrived at the scene just in time to see Gokudera stabbed through the heart with a mini white dragon. His blood spilled incessantly to the ground as his screams filled the air. After that all he could remember was searing hot red, as he was blinded by rage, before he was driven from the air into the ground with a loud crunch. From the looks of both him and Byakuran they had been fighting. Both their clothes were tattered and he could see blotches of blood here and there. The intense pain that resounded throughout his body told him he had lost and now that he had a moment to think he could finally see the true horror of Byakuran's vengeance.

The forest behind Namimori had become a barren wasteland of dirt and charred trees, the kind you'd find at a typical haunted house. Bodies lay scattered across the battlefield as lifeless as ground they lay upon. Red pools that formed around them, the only visible contrast to the blackened earth. Now that Tsuna truly looked it wasn't only his Guardians that he could see. The Arcobaleno and Shimon were there too. This bought on a wave of true hopelessness. He was too horrified to even panic. Death awaited him in the form of a smiling white haired man, not that he had anything left to live for at this point. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he tried desperately to try and get up but he couldn't move his legs. He realised in faint horror that the crunching sound from when he had smashed into the ground was from his legs being broken.

"Any last words my dear Tsunayoshi-kun?" Byakuran cooed.

"Why? Why? Why do any of this?" Tsuna screamed out.

"Why do what? Why heal your rain guardian? Simple, it was to gain your trust or are you asking why I killed everyone? That's rather obvious Tsunayoshi-kun, its revenge for killing my future self. You weren't the only one to get memories from the future," Byakuran laughed out before his demeanour suddenly turned dark, "You didn't really think that if I was dead in the future I'd be dead in the past too, did you?"

Byakuran grabbed a fist full of Tsunas hair and dragged his up off the ground. Slowly he took out a mini white dragon from his pocket and leaned his head in close to Tsuna.

"Now you're going to find out what it's like to die. Trust me it's painful, I would know," Byakuran whispered into Tsuna's ear. Tsuna's eyes widened suddenly, but not because of Byakurans words or the sudden pain in his chest, no, that made him scream in agony. His eyes widened because someone behind Byakuran stood up.

"Aria," he breathed out.

She stood, just barely, holding all seven pacifiers. They were glowing and, as if in response, his guardian Vongola gear, as well as the mare rings, began to glow.

"Don't worry Tsuna-kun; Byakuran won't get away with this," Aria, the Sky Arcobelno, said in a hoarse voice. She looked dishevelled and furious. The light from the pacifiers began to spread across her body and then she was gone.

Tsuna could barely see as the world around him began to fade into a white light and he thought he faintly heard Byakuran yell something like 'damn you' as he dropped him but he'd lost too much blood to think straight. Then suddenly all his senses began to clear and breathing became easier. After a few second of relief he decided to stand up.

"I used the Trinisette to destroy everything and heal you," a voice said, from behind Tsuna. Whipping around Tsuna found himself face to face with Aria.

"HEIIII! Wait what? W-what happened to every one? Why didn't you save everyone!" Tsuna panicked.

"I couldn't," Aria replied glumly, "it takes a lot of power to control the Trinisette, power I don't have. The best I could do was change your body and reverse time."

"H-huh? We're going back in time? What do you mean change? Heii I don't understand!" Tsuna said while grabbing his hair.

"Byakuran's too strong for you to defeat and I can't destroy him with the Trinisette because he also has partial control over it since he owns the mare ring-"

"He go it back?" Tsuna interrupted.

"Yes, off the dead Arcobaleno but please let me finish," Aria sighed.

"S-sorry," he muttered.

"You're going back in time and your body will be shrunken to that of a child. In the years leading up to Byakurans attack you will be re-trained in order to make you stronger than him. Lastly, since Byakuran is likely to give his old self his memories using the Trinisette I will create a decoy child and make him your parent's child and you will be raised by my younger self," Aria explained.

"I understand," Tsuna said with a determined look. He then looked away and stuttered out, "W-will I ever be able to visit my parents?"

"No, they won't even know you exist. Now I must send you into your new time," said Aria with a looked drained, "Oh, and one last thing, to make sure Byakuran never finds you you'll be turned into a girl." And with that Arai disappeared and Tsuna felt his consciousness fade as he screamed.

"What!"
