COWARD
She was a coward, she thought as she sat on the ground staring blankly at the spot her friends once were. She rubbed at her eyes the tears stopping only because she couldn't cry anymore. She cursed herself and cursed allowing herself to get close to the other despite her insistence on not inheriting the bloody family business.
She sniffled as she moved her arms to hug herself trying to provide herself some warmth on the cold October night.
Just how did this start? Just this morning she was joking around with Yamamoto and Gokudera. Just this morning she was happy and surrounded by her family.
Family… that's what she had thought. That their friendship and bond went beyond mere friendship that they were family. How wrong she was.
Turns out with the mention of one of Nono's sons alive and able to take up the mantle of Vongola 10th they would desert her as if she meant nothing to them, as if they weren't friends before subordinates. She had protested and then dragged her outside of the house to explain it to her. They were going to Italy to be Massimo's Guardians and they just had to drag her out of the house because they didn't want to upset her mother.
When they told her she felt her heart being ripped out of her chest as if the very thing in her soul that allowed her to live was gone. Now she just felt empty and alone. Was this the famed Sky Bond Reborn once told her about? How when Sky's became attached to their Elements they really were bonded on a physical, mental, and emotional level? That made it just so much more and Tsuna hated them because of it.
It took her another 10 minutes but she finally picked herself up, sniffling once more before squaring her shoulders. They didn't want her anymore? Fine. That was just fine. She could live without them. She didn't need them.
Sawada Tsunako, 16 years old, could get on just fine without her ex-guardians.
When she got home she decided she would study hard and get into a good University leaving behind the Vongola and her Dame past.
