Chapter 1
Pain
It hurt everywhere.
Red
Everything was painted in red. The ground, her clothes, her hair and everything around her were drenched in blood. The grass were stained red by the enemies' blood, her gloves were red and specks of blood her on her cheek from intensive fighting.
Everyone was gone. No one had survived from the attack. It was too sudden for them to react. Nearly all Mafia famiglia had ambushed their headquarters and not even Hibari knew of it. They didn't have enough time to inform their allies for help. All Vongola members died from all sides and even with their help, they fell in less than 30 minutes.
Yamamoto and Gokudera were killed from trying to protect her.
Lambo and Ryohei died from fighting against two platoons of enemies and Chrome was assassinated by another Illusionist who had more control over illusions. The killer... he had tortured Chrome to reveal their weakness but she had refused to and died with her family's secrets. Without her, Mukuro was unable to assist them as he could only help them when taking over Chrome's body.
Hibari was killed by 3 commanders and 4 platoons. His skills were too known to their enemies. After managing to kill 3 platoons and 2 commanders, he was overpowered by the rest of the attackers and fell due to his limit.
She was the final one. She was the only survivor of the Vongola Massacre to see Decimo, the tenth leader of the strongest Mafia Family survive the attack while others were dead.
She lay on the floor, her Dying Will gone long time ago as she fell to the ground, no will to fight. Everywhere was destroyed. Behind her, the Vongola Mansion that was built by the first Vongola boss, Primo was burning inside a crimson flame crackling as the woods burnt to ashes.
They were gone, and yet she survived. As their leader, she should've protected them... but she wasn't strong enough to protect them, causing their death.
"Minna..." She whispered quietly in pain as she tried to look for her Guardians' bodies. Her body refused to listen to her and her eyesight was getting worse. It became blurry. Black and white spots appeared in her vision and she knew that she was going to die soon from blood loss.
She didn't care anymore. Everyone died. There was no anchor to steady her in the living world anymore.
'I want to see them again...' She thought painfully as a lone tear slid down her cheek. 'Just once more...' Her eyes slowly closed from tiredness and she soon fell into deep slumber, dreaming of her Guardians recalling her memories of them.
Vindice weren't happy when he arrived at the scene. Dead bodies littered on the floor. All in black suits were on the floor unmoving, with their bodies full of wounds.
This wasn't supposed to happen. Vongola was supposed to know about the attack and survive as the strongest Mafia Family in Italy, not massacred.
"Look for Decimo and her Guardians. Find any survivors." Bermuda ordered the two Vindice who came with him. They both nodded and went separately to a different path. He knew they would inform him.
He moved towards the burning Vongola Mansion, suspecting she was in the frontlines with others. He just hoped he didn't arrive too late.
Footsteps
Tsuna forced her eyes to open again. 'A survivor? Did anyone survive?' She helplessly thought.
From far away, she saw something moving towards her. It's was too blurry to see but she was sure it was a person. Maybe it's was their reinforcements or... their enemy.
It stopped in front of her. She couldn't see his or her face and couldn't identify which family the person was from.
"Sawada Tsunayuki?" A cold voice asked from far away but she understood him. She knew that voice and recognized it right away, but why... Why were they here?
"B-Ber...m-muda...?" Her once soothing voice now coarse and harsh barely left her lips, but the person heard her.
"Yes" So she was right. It was him, but why... Why was he here? Why were the Vindice here? They had no reason to be here unless there was a Mafia breaking the laws or promises that were made by people in the presence of the Vindice.
"Sawada Tsunayuki. Your fate isn't to die here today. Your future and Vongola may be gone, but your fate doesn't end here." The Vindice said but her ears were too ringing to hear the exact words. Fate? Future and Vongola gone? What was he talking about?
"You have to change the past to change the future. Normally, it would be against the Law of Nature, but since now the future is dead, it will not affect you of the consequences." He said and she looked at him shocked. Change the Past? What in the world was he seriously talking about?
She opened her mouth to disagree to let her die with her Guardians and the rest of Vongola but no voice came out. Bermuda placed his finger on her lips motioning her to be silent. Behind him, the two Vindice arrived but no one in their arms. So only she survived.
"You may not like it, but is for the best of everyone in the world. Change the past and make Vongola stronger. Stronger so they can survive." He said in a calming manner. In her brown eyes he saw her plead to leave her die with others, but he couldn't do that. Just as how much he wanted to let her die with her Guardians and Vongola members as her last wish to die together, he couldn't do it. He too was once human in the past and knew what she was going through.
He slowly picked her up from the grounds, trying to give her minimum pain as possible. Her clothes had bullet holes and underneath, blood was oozing out. Parts of her body were singed from using hard flames too recklessly and her once white mitten she was currently wearing was red, bathed in blood.
"Rest, Vongola Decimo." The Vindice said and lowered her eyelids, letting her fall into another deep slumber once more.
As soon as she fell in limp in his arms, he checked her pulse and made sure she was still alive. Her pulse weaker than he expected but he would have to worry that later. They would have to work fast. The three Vindice and Acrobaleno stood in a circle. They poured their eighth flames and the Acrobaleno released the power that resided in the pacifier. The two powers emerged together, covering them in like a dome. She was their only hope to change the world from destruction.
The dome glowed brightly and before anyone knew it, the dark misty dome was gone and with the people inside it.
~Vongola Garden~
Primo and Guardians were in the garden. Primo himself was drinking tea and watched his Guardians insult and run around like immature kids. Lampo was once more running away from G from the earlier matter of painting the Storm Guardian's room baby pink with baby blue coloured flowers. He had no idea where Lampo managed to get the items but nonetheless, G was pissed.
" G, Lampo. Stop running around amok like sugar-high brats." Giotto shouted as G continued to chase Lampo around the garden.
"Giotto! How can you let that brat off just like that! He painted my room PINK!" G shouted in fury and his face soon became red in anger.
"I know. Lampo, for your punishment, no sweets for 3 months and you are going to clean up the mess you made in G's room. No more pranks or I'll extend the date to a year." Giotto scolded the youngest Guardian who was pale at the mention of no sweets.
"No! Not my sweets. Please anything else but them." Lampo pleaded but he didn't budge. In the background, Knuckle and Asari looked at them very amused. Alaude was far away from them as he disliked crowding. Daemon was gone to Verona to meet his girlfriend Elena as due to his work, he rarely had the time to see her.
Giotto sighed at the scene. They were already giving him a headache from all the shouting and had no idea how he managed to deal with him until now. God, he wanted a peaceful time but no, they just had to argue 24/7.
Then he felt it. Something was wrong. His Hyper Intuition told him something was going to happen to him and his family. He stood up from his chair, his tea long forgotten and looked around the area for anything suspicious. They looked at him weirdly of his actions.
"Is something wrong Primo?" Lampo asked.
"Something is going to happen soon. Prepare in case in is an ambush." He commanded and they nodded, taking their weapons out. They all trusted Giotto's Hyper Intuition as it was never wrong and had saved their lives countless times.
Primo was already in Hyper Dying Will Mode as his Sky flames burned on his forehead and his gloves ready for a fight. They all followed his suite and readied their weapons and their flames out.
They waited and waited.
Then it happened.
Few meters away from them, a dark misty dome appeared out of nowhere, startling them greatly. It was very similar to the flames that Vindice had. All of them stiffened when the dome broke to pieces like glass and was shocked to find three Vindice, Vindice Acrobaleno and an unconscious woman in one Vindice's arms. Seeing her all bloody and barely alive made them stiffen, thinking what they have done to her. Inside him, Giotto felt his anger bubbling seeing they had hurt a woman. Giotto recognized one of them. Bermuda Von Vichtenstein. He was carrying the woman.
"Lower your weapons Vongola. We are not here to fight." Bermuda spoke but they refused to listen to him.
"What do you want Vindice?" Giotto asked coldly.
"To leave this woman at your hands." He said and they all looked at him confusingly.
"She's the sole survivor of her famiglia and also the only one who is allied to us Vindice. All of her famiglia was massacred and killed." He said and approached to Giotto who was still tense of seeing Vindice since meeting them never brought good news.
"Why are you leaving her in our care?" He asked refusing. Don't get him wrong. He just wanted to know the reason why they were leaving her in their hands.
"Because you are family is first on our list to trust. I will not lie to you Vongola Primo. She is from the future. She is the Decimo of her famiglia. The future she knows no longer exists and so I have brought her to the past." Bermuda explained and Vongola looked at him disbelievingly. He couldn't believe that she was from the future but his Hyper Intuition told him that the Vindice wasn't lying though it was hard to believe his words.
"What family is she from?" He asked but the Vindice didn't answer.
"That is for you to ask her. Gain her trust and give her a reason to live." He said and gave the injured woman into Giotto's arm. She was extremely light.
"Why are you helping her? I thought you Vindice are neutral." At this, he first handily heard a Vindice chuckle. It was cold and emotionless. He and others felt the shiver down their spine.
"I already told you. She is our only ally to us Vindice. Of course allies help others. She is the only one who has managed to gain our trust." Bermuda said and he widened his eyes. Even Alaude had his eyes widened in shock of hearing the neutral Vindice allied with another family. Vindice hardly trusted any people and to gain their trust... She surely wasn't anyone. Nonetheless a female boss gaining the trust of the most cautious Vindice. Again, don't get him wrong. He and others had nothing against women. It was just the fact that there were hardly any Mafia family that was ruled by a female since most female didn't like the idea of Mafia in general or was even allowed to because of the thoughts of sexist people who only thought women were weak.
"I shall now leave her in your care. Take care of her well." The Vindice said and disappeared away into a black mist. The rest of Vindice did the same, leaving the Vongola Primo and his Guardians alone in their garden with an unconscious woman in his arms.
Snapping out quickly, he quickly turned to Knuckle making sure he wasn't giving any trouble to the woman.
"Knuckle!" He shouted at the Sun Guardian knew what Primo was asking for. He ran to Primo's side and lit his Sun ring, examining the woman who was no lying on the floor on top of Giotto's cloak.
"She needs critical treatment. She's shot on her left shoulder, her left arm and two in her right leg. We have to get the bullets out fast. We'll have to bring her inside to the Medical wing." Knuckle said and lifted the woman in to his care, running back into the mansion.
"Alaude, call Daemon and call him back. If he refuses to, go there yourself and bring him back if you have to beat him up. Just don't kill hi- second thought, call him to comeback with Elena." Vongola Primo ordered and for once, Alaude didn't say anything of about taking orders from others and went straight to work.
"Lampo, Asari, G go and assist Knuckle. I'll be there soon." He said and the rest of the Guardians were gone. Making sure they were gone, he collapsed onto his chair, thinking back of what he had seen. He was just hoping it was his imagination. The ring on her finger... It was the Vongola Sky Ring. His ring. From his pocket, he pulled out his ring. He had his ring with him, then why... why did she have the same ring with him? 'No... Please don't tell me she's Vongola Decimo!' He thought and closed his eyes. It was too much and hoped his eyes were playing tricks with him.
Knuckles, G, Lampo and Asari were now tired. Tending her wounds took a lot out of them and couldn't help but wince at the state she was in. On her arms and legs, they saw faint scars; some new and old. They didn't want to know what she had gone through. It had taken them 4 hours to tend her injuries and knew that they were going leave nasty scars after healing even with help from Knuckle's Sun Flames.
Giotto was waiting outside the Medical wing, waiting for them to finish. He had been thinking deeply and was just wishing he was wrong. He looked up when he heard the door open and saw his Guardians coming out along with several nurses and doctors who they have called couple of hours ago.
"How is she Knuckle?" He asked his Sun Guardian.
"She'll be fine in few weeks but the injuries are going leave some nasty scars. I'm surprised how she's still alive after suffering all of those wounds." The priest said and he thanked him.
"Where is she going to stay?" Knuckle asked and Primo thought.
"There's a guest room couple of rooms away my office. She can stay there." Primo replied and Knuckle nodded. The closer she stayed, the better he could take care of her.
"When will she wake up?"
"A week at most." The priest replied and went back in to escort the woman to her room. The three Guardians didn't dare to go back in. The smell of blood and iron made them uneasy and had no strength left but to go back to their respecting room and rest.
"Go to your room and rest. I'll call you when it's dinner." He said and they all looked at him thankfully. They all walked pass him, giving him a pat on his shoulder and went to their rooms to rest till dinner.
As soon as they were gone, Alaude emerged from the corner of the room. He had been hiding all these time in the shadow as he disliked to be crowded.
"What did Daemon say?"
"He'll be arriving tomorrow morning with Elena." Alaude replied shortly and disappeared again, leaving Giotto in the corridor.
Sighing, he too went back to his office to complete the neglected stack of papers he had left on his desk.
3 days swiftly passed since the day Vindice had approached to them and left a woman from the future in their care. Elena was more than grateful to look after the woman as she was the only woman in the house not counting the maids in the mansion. She took care of the woman every day, combing her hair, washing her and changing her clothes since the Guardians wouldn't dare to do such thing as they considered themselves as gentlemen. She adored the woman so much that, Daemon felt his position in her heart was threatened, much to the Guardians' and Primo's amusement.
There were few signs of waking up but she was still in deep slumber and no one was dared to wake her up in fear of the Vindice's wrath upon their family. When Daemon had first heard the story, he refused to believe it but believed it in the end after a very long conversation and convincing the Mist Guardian. Everyone in Mafia knew Vindice was neutral as they carried out the punishments to those who broke the Law and hearing about a family who was the only ally to Vindice, he had found it very hard to believe the words.
In Primo's office, all Guardians were summoned for an emergency meeting. Primo sat behind his desk and the rest sat on the couch in the room though Alaude was standing away from them and Daemon stood behind the couch, smiling eerily.
"Primo, what are we going to do with her? She still hasn't woken up yet." Lampo asked as he ate another piece of cake. Next to him Asari quietly drank his green tea that was directly exported from his home land, Japan.
"We'll have to wait to the EXTREME for her to wake up!" Knuckle shouted as he punched the air.
"There were some signs of her waking up, so she should wake up soon." Primo replied and leaned against his leather chair behind his desk.
"Elena is very fond of her. I wonder why..." Daemon muttered and others ignored his comment. He had been very jealous of the woman for taking his spot light.
"She's the only woman besides the maids in the house. Leave her alone Daemon." Primo said and sighed. He had a childish bunch of adults, excluding Alaude as his Guardians.
On the door, he heard a knock. Slowly, a maid came in slightly intimidated of interrupting their meeting.
"I-I'm very sorry Lord Vongola, but the guest... s-she needs your help." The maid stammered and hurriedly left the room. No one moved a muscle as they allowed the information to sink in. Once it did, Primo jumped out from his chair and ran out where the woman was staying. Alaude and Daemon quickly caught up and others were just behind them.
Pain
It was the only thing she could feel. Her body ached and so did her heart. The memories of their death carved into her memories. She didn't want to remember them but she didn't want to forget them. Their last moment.
'Where am I...? Am I dead?'
She slowly opened her eyes but quickly closed them again. It was too bright. She tried moving her body, but stopped when pain washed over her. She flinched at the unbearable pain and tried to stop from screaming. A small whimper left her mouth and silent tears slid down from here closed eyes as she tried to ignore the pain. She felt something on her forehead. Someone was wiping off the sweat on her face. She then heard a voice next to her. A woman. She was saying soothing words in Italian but the words didn't reach her and soon she screamed, thrashing on the bed.
"Call Primo and others immediately!" She heard the same woman shout. She heard the door open and close. Someone had left to get help. She then felt several hands trying to subdue her on the bed but she was too strong. She screamed painfully and around her body, red began to stain her clothes. The wounds had been opened.
Tsuna heard the door bash open and several people entering. Their footsteps were loud and heavy.
"Elena!" She heard a person shout in worry. His voice was familiar but she couldn't place it where she had heard it.
"Daemon!" The woman's voice was full of relief. 'Daemon Spade? The traitor? Why is he here?' She tried to think straight but the pain distracted her away.
"Knuckle, her wounds opened up again." Elena said and instantly she felt a presence that was similar to her Sun Guardian next to her. 'Knuckle? Primo's Sun Guardian? He's dead with others. Why... Why are they here?' She thought helplessly in the sea of pain and then she remembered his words.
[You may not like it, but is for the best of everyone in the world. Change the past and make Vongola stronger. Stronger so they can survive.]
'Past... Am I truly in the past...?' She thought and felt her body come in contact of the Sun Flames. It was soothing. Her body felt peace like a quick cold shower after a hot bath. Her wounds began to close and the pain subdued. Soon she stopped struggling and fell limp on the bed, her eyes half opened and unfocused. Tears continued to fall from her eyes. The physical wounds may have healed, but the deep scar in her heart was still bleeding. It was more painful than the injuries on her body.
She tilted her head slightly and saw them. The first generation of Vongola. Primo and his Guardians. They faces were full of worry. Why? Why were they worried of her? She didn't know them personally and they didn't know her. She was a stranger to them and yet...
"Why are you helping me...?" She quietly asked her voice was small but full of pain. She tilted her head to look up to her rescuer with her dull brown eyes right into the Vongola Primo's orange eyes.
"So you can live." Primo replied but the emptiness in her eyes didn't change. Her dead eyes gave those shivers and even the two most sadistic Guardians; Alaude and Daemon were disturbed by her brown eyes. They had seen some people with similar cases as her but not in their life, they had seen someone who was alive with the eyes of the dead.
"I have no reason to live. They were my reason to live. Just let me die. I want to be with them." She said and closed her eyes. She didn't want to live anymore. She had no reason to. Her Sky Flames lit on her forehead but this time it was paler and smaller than usual. Her will to live was slowly dying as the fire began to lose its colour and getting smaller.
They all panicked and knew if the flame disappeared, it meant she was dead. They wanted to help but didn't know what to do to help her.
Next to Knuckle, who was healing her with his Flames, a black mist appeared. He instinctively jumped back of the unknown mist and recognized it right away. The Vindice had come again, but this time, only one had appeared and the other two Vindice were missing. Bermuda Von Vichtenstein. The Vindice Acrobaleno next to him was a giveaway of his existence.
"Tsunayuki" Bermuda said and her eyes opened at his call. 'Tsunayuki... That's her name.' Giotto and others thought, making sure to remember her name in the future.
"Bermuda..." She called back in her weak voice. Behind them, they held their breaths. Vindice didn't bring them good news and didn't like that he was near her despite the fact that they knew he wouldn't dare to harm her.
"Why are you so willingly to die?" He asked her, looking down and she just weakly smiled at him knowingly.
"Do you want the history to repeat itself? To go through all the pain again? Do want to see them die again?" He asked her and she flinched at the mention of her Guardians' death. In her mind she replied 'no'. She had no strength to reply.
"If you want to save them, live. Live for them and change it, so the same mistake will not happen." Bermuda continued and the baby who was on his shoulder jumped down and landed on her bed. She smiled seeing the Acrobaleno and patted his top hat with her shaking hand. Behind the white bandages, the Acrobaleno smiled but no one noticed the difference.
"You remind me so much of Reborn. I miss him and everyone. I want see to them so much, to be with them... just like a family." She said in Japanese to their surprises except for Vindice. They had heard that she was the boss of her family, but hadn't expected that she was Japanese. She smiled at the memories they were together. Training, playing, laughing, crying, battling and fighting to protect. She just wanted her old life back but deep inside her, she knew. She knew that nothing could be the same again. Not anymore and she had to move forward even without them.
"Thank you Bermuda." She said and he tilted his hat slightly in reply and disappeared along with his partner into the black mist.
As soon as the mist had cleared, everyone released their held breath. Nope, they were never going to get used to be in the presence of a Vindice. They had no idea how she managed to even smile to him andpat the Vindice. The flame on her forehead had gained its colour back and grew big before it disappeared to the air. Using Dying Will Flames took a lot of energy and in her condition she had to save as much energy as possible.
"I'm sorry for all the mess I have created." She said in Italian, talking again in their language. Knuckle approached her again to continue healing her but she shook her head.
"Please don't waste your flames on me. I'm not worth it." 'It's my punishment.' She said quietly and pushed his hand away, preventing him to heal her. It was her punishment. A punishment she gave herself. A punishment for not being strong enough to save everyone. The scars on her body would remind her of her weakness everyday till the last of her breath.
Giotto knew what she was trying to do. She was blaming their deaths on herself and was punishing herself for being weak. One part of him understood her while the other part of him wanted to stop her but he didn't. Even if she had regained the will to live on, the damage was already done.
"Knuckle, I'm sure she'll be okay. Let's leave the room so she can rest. We can talk to her when she feels better." He told his Sun Guardian who simply nodded. He looked at the rest of his Guardians and they all understood what he wanted them to do. They left the room one by one until Primo was the last one left.
"Please take care of her, Elena." He said and the woman smiled at him and nodded. Looking at Tsunayuki for the last time of the day, he left and went back to his office.
Today was a very long day.
