"FAMIGLIA"
Prologue
XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX XXX
In Namimori High, a large group of students gathered in the hall as they listen to the teachers specking via the microphone on the stage. Today was the graduation day for Namimori 3rd Year senior high students.
"Congratulation to all of you who graduates…"
A certain messy auburn haired boy with amber eyes, Sawada Tsunayoshi yawned tiredly as he listened to the speech presented by the teachers. He did not sleep well last night because he had been packing his travel suitcase for the big day tomorrow.
"Tenth, we can skip this boring graduation if you like." A silver haired boy with pale green eyes, Gokudera Hayato said. He was sitting beside Tsuna.
"I am fine, Gokudera. Today is our last day here anyway." Tsuna said and smiled assuring at Gokudera, one of his best friends and the Vongola Storm guardian.
"Tsuna, are you sure you don't want us to follow you to Italy?" a boy with raven short hair and light brown eyes, Yamamoto Takeshi, his other best friend and the Vongola Rain guardian asked while looking worriedly at Tsuna. He was also sitting beside Tsuna, the other side, though.
Tsuna shook his head slowly. Just recently, he received a letter from the 9th Vongola boss, Vongola Nono. It seemed that Vongola Nono had fallen sick and his health had not been improving even until now, and he hoped that Tsuna would come over to Italy to take over his position temporarily while he recovered from his illness.
At first, Tsuna rejected the proposition but when Vongola Nono assured him that it was only for temporarily, he reluctantly accepted; not for the sake of Vongola, he was doing it for Vongola Nono who he looked up to as someone dear to him. After all, the grandpa had helped him out several times in the past and also he was his father, Sawada Iemitsu, the head of CEDEF's boss.
"Thank you, Yamamoto. I'm only going there for a few months until Ninth recovers. Besides, I need you and the others to look after my mom, Lambo, I-pin, Fuuta and the others while I'm gone." Tsuna said and his amber eyes wandered until they reached a certain honey haired girl. Kyoko…
After they graduated from Namimori Junior High, Tsuna and Kyoko started going out, but their relationship did not last longer than a year. After they broke up, they remained friends.
Both Yamamoto and Gokudera followed their boss's gaze and their eyes saddened when they saw their boss looking at Sasagawa Kyoko, Vongola Sun guardian's younger sister. When their boss broke up with the girl, for a long time, their boss was very depressed.
"Tenth…" Gokudera said, his voice laced with worries.
Tsuna turned his gaze back to his guardians when he realized he was making them worried. He gave them a smile to assure them he was fine.
'Let's pay attention to the speech. I think the teachers are looking at us." Tsuna whispered softly and turned his attention to the stage, taking his mind off the honey haired girl.

In the evening after the graduation ceremony finished, Tsuna and his friends went to Yamamoto's father's sushi restaurant to celebrate. Inside the sushi restaurant, a small private party was held.
"CONGRATULATION TO THE EXTREME!" A white haired boy with dark grey eyes, Sasagawa Ryohei, Tsuna's senior and Vongola Sun guardian cheered loudly as he raised his fists wrapped in boxing hand wraps in the air. After graduating from high school, Ryohei joined some local boxing club, undergoing professional training to become professional boxer.
Many people cheered along with Sasagawa Ryohei. Tsuna laughed as he watched the Sun Guardian performed some sort of weird dance while standing on the chair. A girl with chestnut hair tied up in a pony tail ran towards Tsuna and wrapped her arms around him tightly.
"Tsuna, Haru will miss you greatly." The girl Haru said and sobbed into Tsuna's favorite T-shirt.
Tsuna gently pried the girl away from him and gave her a gentle smile. Miura Haru was a very energetic and cheerful person whom Tsuna liked as a friend. After he broke off with Kyoko, Haru had been there to cheer him up along with his other friends.
"Thanks, Haru. But I think Gokudera will keep you company." Tsuna said and smiled when he watched the girl blushed slightly. Recently, he had seen his Storm guardian and Haru getting closer as before.
"Tenth! It is not like that! We…we err…" Gokudera who had been standing near Tsuna quickly rushed to his side and tried to explain, with a red blush on his cheeks as well.
"Hahaha…I knew you two are going out." Yamamoto said and laughed while he place one of his arm around Gokudera's shoulder.
"It…it is none of your business, baseball-idiot and we are not going out!" Gokudera said and shrugged off the arm around his shoulder. His blush deepened when he stole a glance at the chestnut haired girl.
Tsuna laughed again as his Storm guardian and Haru tried to explain while blushing hard. It was rare to see Gokudera, who always acted cool to behave in such as way. Then he watched a purple haired girl walked slowly towards him and stood in front of him before she looked up at him with her purple eyes.
"Boss, congratulation and we will miss you." The purple haired girl, Chrome Dokuro said with a slight blush on her cheeks. Chrome was one of Tsuna's Mist guardians.
"Thank you, Chrome. Make sure you eat more healthy food, alright? You are welcome to come over to my house. My mom will always welcome you." Tsuna said and smiled at the shy blushing girl. She was like a little sister to him.
"Master Mukuro says he will visit you in Italy if he is free." Chrome said softly.
"Ahaha…okay." Tsuna laughed awkwardly as he thought of his other Mist guardian, blue haired blue eyed Rokudo Mukuro. Ever since Mukuro was released from the Vindice prison, he along with his partners of crime; Ken, Chigusa, and M.M had been travelling around the world.
"Hibari also says he might go there sometimes…" Chrome added while her blushing cheeks reddened even more at the mention of Hibari Kyoya, the black haired black eyed Vongola Cloud guardian. Ever since Chrome transferred to Namimori, Tsuna had seen Chrome and Hibari hanging out together a few times and he also caught Hibari staring at Chrome at that few times. And then he beat me up…
"I will sure to look forward to their visit." Tsuna said while in his heart. NOT.
After a little more chat with Chrome and the others, Tsuna exited the restaurant and took a deep breath. He was going to miss all these even though he would only stay in Italy for a few months. He looked at the evening sky and wondered how Reborn and the other Arcobaleno were doing.
Last year, Reborn told him his training was completed and it was time for him to move on. He had heard him mentioned something about curse and he knew Reborn was looking for more clues about the Arcobaleno curse. Last he heard, Collonello and the other Arcobaleno infants had joined Reborn on his journey.
'Dame-Tsuna."
Tsuna smiled. He sure missed Reborn's criticisms these days. At the age of eighteen now, although sometimes he still made mistakes, he was no longer the young boy who would give up doing something before he gave it a try.
"Tsuna, are you not going inside?" a soft voice said from behind Tsuna.
Tsuna turned around after hesitated a while and he looked into the face of his once beloved Sasagawa Kyoko. He still loved her anyway even after they broke up.
"Kyoko…I will go back in a little while. Just enjoying the sunset." Tsuna said and smiled gently at the honey haired girl.
Sasagawa Kyoko smiled in return. She watched as the auburn haired boy turned back around to stare at the orange sky, his hands tucked inside his pockets. After entering senior high school, the Sawada Tsuna she knew turned into someone who was calmer, more independent and of course, taller. Their classmates no longer call him dame-Tsuna.
"Tsuna, are you sure you want to go to Italy?" Kyoko asked gently. During the time they were going out, Tsuna once told her how he disliked being involved with the Mafia. All he ever wanted was to live an ordinary life, do an ordinary job. Then a few days ago, Tsuna informed them he would be going to Italy to help the current Vongola boss to manage his affairs. Although he had said only temporary, Kyoko had a feeling that they would never see him again.
"Ah yes, Ninth is not feeling well at the moment. I only go there to help him manage some of his things…not like I will become a boss or anything. You know I don't want to become a mafia boss." Tsuna said, his back still facing the honey haired girl.
"But Tsuna…what if…" Kyoko stopped what she was about to say and softly shook her head. She knew Tsuna. He was the type of person who would keep promises. A light blush appeared on her cheeks when the boy turned his head slightly around to look at her with his gentle amber eyes.
"Hmm?"
"Ah…nothing." Kyoko said and smiled brightly. Then she turned around, placing her hand over her heart. She still loved him even thought she was the one who issued the break up. Her honey colored eyes saddened when she recalled the reason they broke up.

"I wonder where Tsuna is ..." Kyoko whispered to herself as she walked along the school back yard. She was supposed to meet Tsuna at their promised place during school lunch time. She was blushing little while thinking about Tsuna, her boyfriend.
BAM!
Kyoko jumped slightly when she heard a loud sound, like someone slamming into something iron and hard. The sound was coming from the alley not far from where she was now. Clutching the lunch box she prepared specially for Tsuna against her chest, she slowly walked towards the alley.
"Who is it…?" Kyoko asked softly while peeking into the alley.
"KYOKO! GET BACK!"
Kyoko gasped when she saw the scene. Tsuna was pushing a man in black suit and dark sun glasses against the dumpster, a dent was marked.
"Tsu…Tsuna...blood…" Kyoko stammered when she saw a blotch of blood staining Tsuna's arm sleeve. The lunch box dropped onto the ground when she saw Tsuna punched the man hard on his belly, causing the man to faint onto the ground.
After Tsuna was sure the man had fainted, he took out his cell phone from his school pocket and dialed a number before speaking.
"Dino? It's me. I need someone to clear up the mess in my school…no…not a student…someone attack me again…yea…thanks." Tsuna spoke and when he finished, he placed his phone back into his pocket.
"Tsuna! You are bleeding!" Kyoko said and ran towards the auburn haired boy wither tears in her eyes. She knew Tsuna was still a candidate for a Mafia boss but she did not know there are still people trying to harm him.
"Ah…it is nothing…just a scratch…by the way, Kyoko, sorry I am late to our date…" Tsuna said with a weak smile while trying to hide his injured arm.
"Who is this man? Why did he attack you?" Kyoko asked.
"Umm…I think he mistook me as someone else. Let's get out of here." Tsuna said and took her hand with his good arm and pulled her with him, picking up the lunch box on the ground while on the way out.
Kyoko knew Tsuna had wanted to hide everything mafia related from her because he did not want her to be harmed. But she was his friend and also his girlfriend. She wanted him to share everything with her and not treating her as she was someone weak who would need protection.
"Tsuna…there is something I need to tell you…"

"Kyoko?"
Kyoko snapped out from her flashback when she heard Tsuna calling out for her. She blinked her eyes several times and stared into a pair of worried amber eyes.
"Are you not feeling well, Kyoko?" Tsuna asked and placed his hand against her forehead to test her temperature.
"I…I am fine. Let's get back inside or my brother will start looking for us." Kyoko said and blushed a little. Tsuna nodded his head in agreement before going towards the door.
"WHERE DID SAWADA GO TO THE EXTREME!"
Tsuna laughed awkwardly while Kyoko blushed in embarrassment when they heard the Sun guardian's booming voice. The entire street heard him.

AT THE AIRPORT
"Flight departs to Sicily…"
A light blush appeared on Tsuna's cheek when his mother hugged him in front of everyone before the check in point.
"Tsuna, promise me you will call me every day." Sawada Nana, Tsuna's mother said with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Nana, Tsuna is only going there for a few months." Sawada Iemitsu said while comforting his wife. However his eyes were teary also.
Two years ago, he finally told his wife about him being the head of CEDEF and their son the candidate of Vongola Boss. At first, his wife became so angry they almost divorce and it scared the shit out of him but in the end, his wife forgave him as long as he and their son promised not to do anything dangerous or illegal.
"I will, mom. I will come back once Ninth is feeling well." Tsuna said and hugged his mother back. Luckily his guardians and friends were not at the airport with him. They had wanted to give him farewell at the airport but Tsuna told them not to come. Pulling away from his mother's hug, Tsuna looked at his father who was trying hard not to cry.
"Take care of Gokudera, Yamamoto and the others, okay?" Tsuna said.
"Don't worry, son. I will look after them. They are our family after all." Iemitsu said and grinned. He was supposed to go along with his son to Sicily but he just could not leave his wife alone in Japan now that she knew everything.
"Thanks, dad." Tsuna said and smiled at his parents.
"Attention all passagers of flight xxxx to Sicily…"
"It's time for me to go in now. Mom, Dad, take care." Tsuna said and gave his parents another hug before entering the check in gate.
Sawada Iemitsu and Sawada Nana watched their son disappeared behind the counters.
"Tsuna is all grown up now…" Nana whispered with a teary smile.
"Let's go home, Nana. Everyone is waiting for us." Iemitsu said and placed his arm around his wife's shoulder.
