Uh…The song SCREAMED Tsuna to me okay. I don't own KHR or Rise by Katy Perry (you should listen to that if you haven't) whose lyrics are in bold.
O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~
I won't just survive
Tsuna hadn't wanted to be a Mafia Boss. He told everyone that listened the same thing.
It wasn't a surprise.
But Reborn was stubborn chaos given form- and Tsuna was loyal if he was anything. He may not have wanted to be a Boss, but all his friends…all the people he called his own, all those Tsuna would claim as family were.
So he would follow them.
Oh, you will see me thrive
He would follow them into the darkness, and he would change it.
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
If the people he loved wanted to walk the dark streets of Underground Life Tsuna would do anything he could to protect them. He'd spent too long without anyone to allow anybody to take those that found him away.
He wasn't like any Mafia Boss the Underworld had seen before. Primo had been closest…and Tsuna was determined to purify the darkness around him for those he loved.
I won't just conform
He didn't want to be a Mafia Boss…but a Vigilante?
No matter how you shake my core
Tsuna could do that.
'Cause my roots they run deep, oh
He could follow in Primo Vongola's footsteps, he could bring honor back to the Underworld; he could purify the darkness that had seeped into it.
Oh, ye of so little faith
No matter who doubted it.
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in my veins
If Tsuna had learned anything from the many years with Reborn…from the many fights he had faced, the impossible odds that stacked against himself and his family…it was that if Tsuna had the Will to do something…he could do anything.
Anything at all.
Even the 'impossible.'
I know it, I know it
And I will not negotiate
And considering his family walked this path?
Considering his Guardians had followed after him into the dark?
Considering all Tsuna had to lose?
Well Tsuna wasn't in much of a negotiating mood.
I'll fight it, I'll fight it
I will transform
He'd fight the world for his people.
And they knew it too. It was why they followed behind him, why they were so loyal.
Why Tsuna may fight the world…but would never face it alone.
When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time"
And Tsuna had had to fight. The Ninth, his Guardians, his Famiglia.
The rest of the Mafia that had no desire to follow the path Tsuna was bulldozing into the dark.
They told him it was impossible. That it was hopeless. That he was wasting his time.
But Tsuna had seen hope. He had seen the possible and the results if he just reached a little further.
But still I rise
He'd seen a boy experimented on by those who should have loved him find the light of hope and have the strength to reach for it.
He'd seen a Boss fall at his feet only to rise into his own- a better man surrounded by family.
He's seen the future shattered and remade.
He'd seen a Curse of generations ended at his hands.
He'd seen those consumed by vengeance bask in the light.
Tsuna had seen change.
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
So it didn't matter that the rest of the world scoffed at him. That they tried to kill him in the face of his light.
It didn't matter that they called his dream of changing the Mafia a 'fools hope'.
Don't be surprised
I will still rise
Tsuna knew where he stood and what he stood for.
He would not move.
I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
No matter who or what the rest of the world threw his way.
For those that loved him, and whom Tsuna loved in turn…Tsuna would not move. He would stand firm, and if ever he was knocked down he would rise again.
So I call on my angels
They say
His family would ensure it.
Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Where Tsuna staggered, his Guardians caught him.
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
Where Tsuna lacked the knowledge, Reborn would teach or step in.
And you will not negotiate
Where Tsuna could not bend, where he had to be firm and unyielding, the Varia stood at his back.
Just fight it, just fight it
Where Tsuna had to fight for his 'fool's dream' his allies (Dino, Byakuran, Yuni, the Arcobaleno and everyone…) stood at his side with his family.
And be transformed
Tsuna had no doubts.
'Cause when, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time"
It didn't matter what the future held. Together…together with his friends and family Tsuna could do anything he wanted. Even make the 'impossible' reality.
But still I rise
So he would.
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
For those who held such faith in him that they followed him on his 'fool's dream'. For those that Tsuna loved. For the family he had built in blood and tears, in struggles and pain…in hope and stubborn belief…
Think again
Don't be surprised
For them…
I will still rise
There was no question.
(Don't doubt it, don't doubt it)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(You know it, you know it)
Still rise
Tsuna would burn the Vongola of old into ash.
(Just fight it, just fight it)
And then the rest of the Mafia would follow.
Don't be surprised
I will still rise
