Hello! This is my first fic EVER, so... it's not perfect. There are probably grammar errors as well, since I'm just studying the language. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the first chapter!


It was dark.

Tsuna slowly opened his eyes, but everything was just a blur in front of him.

A cold breeze which came from the window's direction, touched his cheeks. When his vision somehow became clear, he could see the white ceiling with small cracks, and long lamps lining up parallelly on it.

The brunet carefully sat up on the creased sheeted bed. His body felt unusually light.

The boy looked around, expecting to see the usual morning scene. But something was wrong.

He could only see an infusion stand and a ventilator.

Also, a medical instrument was beeping beside him. He stared at it for a few seconds. Wait a minute... this room...

'...!'

The boy's eyes widened as he realized where he was. 'This... could it be.. a hospital room?! ...Why am I in a hospital room?'

The brunet wanted to remember what had happened, but his head started to hurt if he tried to do so.

The window was open and the wind made the white curtain dance in the semidarkness as a sudden breeze entered the room.
He swung his legs off the bed, and slowly stood up. He was walking towards the door barefoot, the tiled floor was so cold that he shuddered at every step. He grabbed the iron handle of the door and opened it. The brunet peeked out, but the corridor was empty. No one disturbed it's peace. The rising sun's golden beams were slowly creeping up on the beige coloured walls. He stepped out of the strange room and started to look for the way out of this maze of aisles. He was walking slowly trying to collect his thoughts.


-A year before-

Tsuna decided to take over the Vongola when he turned 18.

It was a hard decision, but he had to do it in order to protect his Family.

In the past few years many assassins tried to kill the Boss candidate as soon as the information of his whereabouts leaked. There was no escaping anymore. He and his Guardians had to become stronger and stonger. Not to mention the future boss knew it deep inside that it was the right decision.

He will change the Vongola for the better.

His ancestor, Primo, would have wanted that too.

The inheritance ceremony was held once again, but this time everything went smoothly. All of their friends came to congratulate them.

Not long after that, Reborn advised him to move to Italy.

Of course, he refused it first, but in the end the young Boss gave in.

Naturally, this also meant all of his Guardians were going with him as well. None of them resisted.

It was hard for Tsuna to leave Namimori. He had already said goodbye to his mother, to Kyoko, Haru, and all his remaining friends. All of his memories hit him hard int he chest as he was going to the airport with Reborn.

He remembered playing and laughing with his friends, their crazy everyday life they had lived together.

They had so much fun. The brunet wished it would last forever. But it was impossible.

A little teardrop escaped his eyes. But it had disappeared the moment he saw his Guardians at the airport's entrance, all of them smiling. Well, except Hibari. He was keeping the distance from the others and was standing a little further away with his baggage lying next to him. Tsuna couldn't help but smile and wave to his friends.

They traveled by a private plane which had been arranged by Reborn. The journey was long and tiring, (not to mention certain guardians had been quarreling over unworthy things all the way) but they finally arrived in Florence, Italy.

It was like a whole different world. They had previously attended an Italian language course, but it was still difficult to understand people in real life.

At the airport, a long, pitch black limusin was waiting for them with a chauffeur. Everybody was very excited and got in immediately, except Tsuna and Hibari. The brunet was embarrassed to get in the luxurious limo. But a kick in the head by Reborn got him in the vehicle.

Hibari let out a "Hmph." but he got in too. After two hours they finally arrived at the Vongola Headquarters. The mansion was huge and mighty. Tsuna knew it wasn't small, but it was so much bigger than he expected. Yamamoto was grinning wider than usual, Gokudera was trying to remain cool, but a slight blush appeared on his face. The 9 years old Lambo looked excited, Ryouhei was as energetic as ever, and Chrome was hiding behind her Boss. Hibari seemed like he didn't care, but he was impressed as well.

At the gate subordinates grabbed their luggage and carried them away. A butler was standing next to them and bowed deeply.

"Welcome, Vongola Decimo and his family."

A slight blush appeared on the boss' cheeks. He wasn't used to such formality.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Alessandro and it's a great honour to be able to serve Vongola Decimo and his Guardians in the future." the butler held out his hand. The young boss was a bit nervous, but he gulped, took a deep breath and shook the man's white gloved hand. He put a gentle smile on his face. "It's a pleasure to meet you. Please take good care of me and my family."

Reborn was just smiling under his hat thinking that his student had grown up.

"I certainly will." answered the man with closed eyes.

The black suited butler opened the gate which was equipped by several security systems and was strongly guarded.

Having led the Guardians through the beautifully kept garden, the butler opened the main door and everybody entered the mansion. As soon as they caught a glimpse of the hall, it took their breath away. It was full of expensive-looking furniture, the walls were decorated with paintings by Picasso and Van Gogh. It was like some royality's home... do all mafia bosses live like this? The guardians were walking around their new homes in amazement.

The servants and subordinates were standing around them welcoming the new boss. Most of them really respected him and even bowed. However, some whispering could be heard from the other direction.

"Is this the new Boss?"

"Isn't he too young?"

"There's no way this boy could lead our Famiglia."

"Why did Nono choose a kid like this?"

"His guardians are a bunch of kids too"

The young boss did hear these insults, but just continued walking and ignored them. However, they couldn't be unheard by a certain silver haired bomber who was now pissed off. 'Who dared to insult the Tenth?!' but the boy didnt's say anything out loud, as Tsuna grabbed his shoulder and looked at the teen telling him to stop. The right hand man just gave a deadly glare to the ignorant gang to shut their mouths. They became pale and just bowed. They continued walking forward.

The butler showed each guardian their room. The Guardian's room surrounded Tsuna's from every direction. It was designed that way to grant greater safety for the Boss. Tsuna's was the biggest and most luxurious room, of course. The one who had claimed to be the boss' right hand man got the nearest room to Decimo of all. The most far and most separated room was the Cloud Guardian's. Everybody was satisfied with their new home.

Days, weeks, then months had passed and everybody started to get used to their new lives. They had been training regularly and they had even went on missions.

The young Boss had to do all the paperwork even if he didn't want to. There had been a few assassination attempts by power hungry Famiglias, but they couldn't even get close to the Decimo. He had to attend meetings with other bosses occasionally.

On his first meeting he was very nervous, since he had the highest rank among all the bosses in the room, thus his opinion was the most important. As he attended more and more meetings, the young boss slowly became more and more confident.

A year had passed like this.


-That day-

" Are you sure, it's okay?" the now rather tall brunet was standing in front of the mirror in his room, fixing his black suit.

"Don't worry, it really suits you, Tenth! " complimented his boss the right hand man who was standing behind him proudly in a similiar suit.

"Yeah, you look good, Tsuna." grinned the tallest teen standing at the door, a sword resting on his right shoulder.

Tsuna let out a small smile and tightened his black tie.

"Let's go then."

An important meeting was going to be held at the other side of the country. His closest guardians, the Guardian of Rain and the Guardian of Storm were chosen to protect Vongola Decimo.

When everything was ready, they got in the black limo and set off.

The young boss looked like he was troubled by something. Yamamoto noticed this.

"Hm? Tsuna, is there something wrong?" the brunet snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the swordsman.

"I-It's nothing..." he tried to smile " It's just... I feel like something is wrong.."

The bomber who was sitting on Tsuna's right straightened himself " There's no need to worry, Tenth! I'm not gonna let anybody to get near you!"

The boss smiled nervously. "Thank you, Gokudera-kun...But this time I feel something different. Like something bad will happen"


-Now-

"..."

This was the last thing he could remember. What exactly happened...?

When he turned left at the next corner, his eyes widened. He finally found someone! And it was... Gokudera?!

The brunet was glad that he found his friend. He called out to him smiling.

"Gokudera-kun! I'm so happy that I found you!"

But the silver haired didn't hear it. He was walking towards the young boss' room with a bunch of flowers in his hands, looking down.

"..." Tsuna ran to him "Gokudera-kun?" but still nothing. He was just walking forward. "Is there something wrong?" the brunet asked again.

... no answer. It was like he didn't even see him. The bomber knocked on the door of the room where Tsuna was, and clenched his fist.

" I'm coming in... Tenth." he bit his lower lip.

Tsuna ran to the door and stopped it from closing " Hey, Gokudera-kun, can't you hear me?"

The silver haired boy put down the flowers then fell on his knees next to the bed. " I-I'm sorry, Tenth..." he shuddered "I'm sorry..."

Tsuna was couldn't believe what he saw. His eyes widened. "I-It's... impossible..."

The one he could see lying on the bed... was himself.


So yeah... that was it. The story barely even started lol

But I had to give some background information.
