Betrayal

Betrayal…was a bitter feeling. But he would sacrifice all, as long as they were safe. Even if they hated him and spited him, he would sacrifice their friendship. As long as his Guardians were safe, nothing mattered.

Prologue: The Beginning

Tsuna looked at his desk, at all the papers stacked on it. These would soon be a distant memory for him. The deal with the Vindice was set. He would soon disappear from this world, never to be seen again, for the freedom of his Guardians. He would give up his name, his heritage, and his life. He would give up the friendship, love, and joy he felt from his familia. He would give it all up, just to see his friends breathe once again.

Time Skip: 3 hours later

Tsuna watched as the Vindice guards released each of his guardians from their holding tank. They looked terribly weak and he knew that he had made the right choice. Chrome didn't look like she would have survived much longer in those freezing waters. All of them were barely conscious but remembered seeing Tsuna's calm yet sad face before blacking out.

Tsuna turned to the Vindice guards. "As the agreement states it, you shall release my guardians and make sure they return to their proper health." His face was set, betraying no emotion.

"We have released them as you asked. They will be returned to the Vongola shortly. Have you completed your side of the bargain?" The guards whispered each word carefully, sending shivers down Tsuna's spine.

He nodded carefully. "I have cut ties with the Vongola and all my allies. I have eliminated the families you chose. And now, I shall accept my imprisonment." He looked determined but his eyes betrayed him with fear swirling in those chocolate eyes.

The three nodded. "Very well. The agreement has been completed. You may have 1 last minute with your guardians before we strip you of your flames and imprison you." They disappeared as the last word was spoken.

Tsuna sat down on the cold hard floor. "I hate doing this to you guys but this is part of the bargain as well. You guys will forget the times we had, the adventures we were on." He had a small smile on his face. "But I shall regret nothing. I'm sorry I got you into this mess…I'm gonna miss you guys." Chains appeared and wrapped around his neck. His arms were bound. He let himself be led away by two of the guards, looking back to see the third bending over each of his guardians.
