Hi everybody, this is my next Katekyou Hitman Reborn fan fiction. I hope you like this story.


"Freedom to order our own conduct in the sphere where material circumstances force a choice upon us, and responsibility for the arrangement of our own life according to our own conscience, is the air in which alone moral sense grows and in which moral values are daily recreated in the free decision of the individual. Responsibility, not to a superior, but to one's own conscience, the awareness of a duty not exacted by compulsion, the necessity to decide which of the things one values are to be sacrificed to others, and to bear the consequences of one's own decision, are the very essence of any morals which deserve the name."
Friedrich Hayek, The Road to Serfdom


Consistency of a Choice

Chapter 1. An Order to Choose.

5 years ago.

It was after school and there were two boys who were dragging another boy with spiky brown hair to a quiet hallway. The boy with spiky brown hair looked scared and tried to get away, but the other kids did not let him.

After they made sure no one around, they punched and kicked him in annoyance and amusement, while insulting him nonstop. The boy with spiky brown hair could not do anything to stop them. He could only try to protect his body.

"What are you doing?" He heard a soft girl voice said in confusion.

The kids stopped tormenting him and looked at her. He also looked at her and recognized her as his classmate, who was always smiling and had a good grade, who was also the girl he admired. But right now she was not smiling. She was frowning in confusion as if she was faced with a question she did not know the answer to.

Suddenly, she spoke. "How could a human be so cruel to each other?" From the way she said it, he knew she did not mean to say it out loud.

"You wouldn't understand because you have a perfect life." One of the kids sneered.

She seemed to snap out from her reverie after that. Suddenly, she started trembling and ran away.

"What a freak!" The other kid said.

The boy with spiky brown hair looked at the back of the girl. He did not care anymore about his situation. The girl was the only thing on his mind.

Few days after that day, in front of the school, the boy with spiky brown hair saw the girl again. He was panicked because the girl was approaching him.

"Um... Hello..." She said nervously.

"Hello." He did not know what to do.

Suddenly she bowed. "I am sorry."

He was stunned. No one apologized to him before.

"Wh...at fo..r?" He stuttered.

"I am sorry that I didn't help you from those bullies."

"Oh, it's ok." He looked at her sheepishly.

"Um... Can I be your friend...Sawada-san?" She said nervously.

The boy could not believe his ears. The girl he admired wanted to be his friend and she also knew his name.

"Ho...w do you kn...ow my na..me?"

"Well, I memorized all my classmates' names."

"Oh." He felt embarrassed.

"Sooo, can I be... um, your... friend?"

He looked away. "But, why would you want to be my friend. Everyone else hates me."

"Well, you don't seem too bad."

"I am no good, I am Dame-Tsuna (No-Good Tsuna)." He exclaimed in exasperated. "How can someone perfect like you become my friend?"

"Sawada-san." He turned to face her in surprised because of the sharpness in her tone.

He saw her face darkened, but then suddenly it returned to normal.

She smiled her usual smile. "See you after school."

She turned around to enter the school ground. He wanted to stop her and tell her that he wanted to be a friend too. But, he stopped himself because he was scared.

{K~H~R}

Present.

"Tsuna, it's time to go home."

Tsuna snapped out from his musing and looked at his friends. He smiled at them and grabbed his bag.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something," Tsuna said sheepishly.

"Ha ha ha, it's all right, Tsuna."

"Of course, it was all right, Juudaime (Tenth)."

They proceeded to leave the classroom and the school. Tsuna looked around to look for his other friends.

"The others already left, Tsuna."

"Oh," Tsuna said in disappointment.

"Hmmp, they should have waited for Juudaime. Do you want me to punish them, Juudaime?"

Tsuna shook his head. "It's all right, Gokudera-kun."

"Don't be so gloomy, Tsuna. I am still here."

Tsuna turned to the person that was standing in front of the school in surprised.

"Yuri! I thought you already left." Tsuna said in surprised.

"Well, I am still here, aren't I?" Yuri said in amusement.

Tsuna smiled at that. They talked until they parted way to the direction of their houses.

{K~H~R}

It had been a few months since Tsuna reconciled with Yuri, and secretly he was glad that his friends forced him to face her. Since then, Yuri has been hanging out with them. Everyone seemed to like her and she got along with everyone else.

Although she often argued with Gokudera. There was something between them. Tsuna, Reborn and Bianchi were the only ones who noticed about it. But, Tsuna was the only one who could not figure it out, while Reborn and Bianchi seemed to know what going on. Tsuna was tempted to ask them about it, but he doubted that he would get a straight answer.

Since Yuri was seen together with Tsuna. The rumours about them from Elementary School resurfaced again and they were dubbed as the 'Dame Couple' again. They mostly ignored it, while his friends occasionally gave a glare to someone who stupid enough to insult them in front of them.

But, he was worried that Yuri will get bullied again because of this, and since Yuri was in a different class with him and his friend. He could not make sure of it. He often found himself looking out for injury whenever they met up at lunchtime and when they walked home together. So far, he did not find any injury on her. But, he was still worried.

Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Chrome, Kyouko, Haru and Yuri were in their last year of middle school and they will graduate soon. Tsuna got the feeling that something will happen soon and it has something to do with Vongola.

{K~H~R}

"I am home," Tsuna said.

"Welcome home." He heard his mother and Bianchi replied.

He went to the kitchen and was surprised by what he saw.

"Long time no see, Tsuna."

Tsuna stared blankly at the person. He could not find his voice to say anything, mostly because he was in shock.

"Tsu-kun, isn't it great that your father came to visit?" Tsuna ignored his mother.

After staring at his father for a minute, Tsuna left the kitchen to go to his room as if nothing happened.

Tsuna never hates anyone, not even his bullies or his past enemies, but somehow he could not let go of his hate for his father for leaving him and his mother. He could understand why his father did it. After all, he did the same to Yuri. Still, whenever he saw or heard about his father, the burning hatred in his heart kept resurfaced.

Sometimes he wondered how Yuri could forgive him, while he himself still could not forgive his own father.

{K~H~R}

When Tsuna entered his room, he found Reborn sitting in his chair and looking at him intently. Tsuna was nervous because his Intuition warned him something important was going to happen.

"What is it, Reborn?"

"You have seen your father," Reborn stated.

"Why is he here?" Tsuna could not help but ask.

"He brought Nono (Ninth)'s order."

Tsuna was tense. No matter how much he likes Nono, he still did not like it whenever Nono sent an order.

Reborn tilted his fedora downward. "Nono ordered you and your guardians to move to Italy after you graduated from middle school to continue your training."

Tsuna composed himself to prevent himself to let out a shriek. But, he could not hide his surprise and horror. Tsuna gritted his teeth in frustration and grasped his trembling fists to calm himself down.

{K~H~R}

When Reborn told Tsuna about the order he anticipated that Tsuna will let out a shriek and exclaimed that he will not become a mafia boss. He never thought Tsuna will have this kind of reaction of silence defiance.

He suspected that this was because of Byakka's influence that reminded Tsuna to keep his calm. Reborn already got an order from Nono to tutor her to become Tsuna's wife, of course, he never told Tsuna about it, and he made sure Byakka did not tell him.

However, there was still the problem of Tsuna's reluctance to accept his position. Reborn would force Tsuna if he has to, but he would prefer it if Tsuna accept it himself.

{K~H~R}

"Reborn, I don't want to become a mafia boss." Reborn turned to Tsuna who already calm down.

"You don't have a choice, Tsuna." He stated calmly.

"What about my friends, there has a life here, how can I just let them leave it?" Tsuna asked frantically.

"I already inform them to come here at the weekend, and then we can tell them about this. It will be their choices to come or not." Reborn said.

"What about me? I thought I can refuse." Tsuna said sadly. "Didn't I already tell you that I won't become a mafia boss? When you left I thought I could live normally again, but you came back and saying nonsense about Neo (New) Vongola Primo (First), which was basically the same as Vongola Decimo (Tenth). What was your point of asking me, when you didn't even accept my refusal."

"Just think about it Tsuna," Reborn said then jumped from the window. Reborn then used Leon, who transformed into a hang glider to go to his next destination, Byakka's house.

{K~H~R}

"Hello, this is Natsume's residence." A girl with long black hair said to the phone.

"Hahaue (Mother)? Oh, of course, I am glad that you call. Do you need something?"

"So, Aniki (Big Brother) visited you."

"I am fine and no, I don't need you to come here."

She sighed. "Fine, you can come at my graduation ceremony. Please, don't embarrass me and yourself."

"Bye, Hahaue."

The girl put down the phone.

"Ciaossu."

The girl froze and turned to look at the source of the voice to see a 5 years old toddler.

"Reborn, what are you doing here?" She said while she walked into the living room.

"You don't seem to get along with your mother," Reborn said while following her.

"We get along just fine, it just that she worried about me too much as if I would suddenly disappear. In a way, she is too overprotective."

"Why did she never come to visit? If she was so overprotective she would have come as often as possible." Reborn asked.

"Yes, she would have come as often as possible if I didn't beg her not to come."

"Why don't you want her to come?" Reborn raised his eyebrows.

"No reason."

Reborn tilted his fedora downward in suspicious.

The girl sat on the couch and tried to reach for a Pocky that was on the coffee table, but Reborn took it before she could reach it.

"You eat sweet too much." He said.

The girl pouted at that. "Anyway, what are you doing in my house?"

"I am your tutor."

The girl gave him a deadpan look. "I am not agreeing to anything."

"Nono ordered Tsuna and his guardians to move to Italy," Reborn told her.

The girl's eyes widened in surprise. Then she looked away, but he could see her sadness.

"If you accept to become Tsuna's wife, you can go with them," Reborn said. "I haven't told the guardians yet, I will tell them with Tsuna, later. But, since Tsuna don't know that I am tutoring you, I have to tell you myself."
