THE STORY SO FAR:

Giotto was the heir of the Vongola famiglia and he was everything anyone would want in a boss; smart, kind, talented, graceful and a true gentleman. He was born in Japan but moved to Italy when he was five, leaving behind his mom and a little brother who he never got the chance to get to know better, where he trained to become a mafia boss and gathered his guardians who also have their own family problems. Giotto and his guardians were trained and taught the ways of the mafia by the Sky Arcobaleno Luce, who was cursed by a man they refer to as Checkerface to live in an unaging body for the rest of their now shortened lifespan while at the same time being unable to use their flames to their maximum potential. After 14 years of living in their cursed state, Checkerface appeared before the Arcobalenos in a dream, telling them that he could lift the curse, but he can only do it for one person. So he told them to participate in what he called "The Representative Battle" and the winner will have his/her curse lifted.

Luce, of course, asked Giotto and his guardians to represent her.

Giotto immediately made plans and they made their way to Namimori where the battle was going to be held. What he didn't expect was that his innocent, civilian little brother would be the representative of the most dangerous Arcobaleno, also known as the World's Greatest Hitman, Reborn. He was a lot stronger than a civilian should be and has even mastered control over his flames, to the point that he could go into Hyper Dying Will Mode. It was revealed that Tsuna was Reborn's student and the Sun Arcobaleno was teaching him to become an assassin.

Tsuna didn't always hate his older brother, there was a time when he looked up to Giotto and wished he would someday be good enough to join his brother in Italy so that they can spend more time with each other. No matter how many times people criticized him and compared him to his older brother, no matter how many times people looked at him in disappointment and no matter how many times he got hurt as a child, he still loved Giotto dearly. But that all changed after a certain incident.

Tsuna met Reborn when he was 7 and the hitman saw potential in the young boy, after a few months he took the brunet in as his apprentice and even gained a few more students along the way Tsuna views Reborn as his savior and decided to join the Representative battles not only to save him, but also to protect his home and defeat the brother he hated with every fiber of his being.

FAMILIES:

Sawada:

Iemitsu (Father) - working as the head of CEDEF but is in the process of working on his early retirement so he'll be able to spend more time with his family. Lives in Italy.

Nana (Mother) - lived in Japan but moved to Italy to live with her husband and eldest son two years before.

Ieyasu (Eldest) - 22 years old, heir to Vongola. Upon arriving at Italy when he was five and taking residency at the Vongola mansion, his name was changed to Giotto.

Tsuna (Youngest) - 16 years old, currently living in Japan. He begged his parents to at least let him finish middle school before making him move to Italy with them. He's currently a freshman in Namimori High and has yet to be told to join his family in Italy.

Gokudera: (As I said before, Hayato's the only Gokudera but I don't know what Bianchi's surname is so we're going with this one. Their last name isn't Gokudera here, only Hayato his mother is, I'm only putting them all under this category for the sake of being organized.)

Father - Unimportant. A mafia boss currently residing in Italy.

Mother - Also unimportant. She's not close with her children, and most likely despises Hayato. This is probably a dwindling marriage.

Hayato's mother - deceased for 8 years. A pianist, you all know her -_-

G (Eldest) - 22 years old, searching for his little brother and secretly protective of his little sister.

Bianchi (Second) - 19 years old, went to Namimori because she caught wind that her little brother was there.

Hayato (Youngest) - 16 years old, ran away when he was 8 and earned the title 'Smoking Bomb'. Somehow ended up in Namimori.

Yamamoto:

Tsuyoshi (Father) - a retired assassin who independently maintains the peace in Namimori and updates the Vongola guardians about their families who live in Namimori.

Mother - deceased upon giving birth to her second son.

Asari (Eldest) - 23 years old, wants to be close to his brother but barely has the time.

Takeshi (Youngest) - 16 years old, started learning the way of the sword when he was in middle school.

Sasagawa:

Parents - Unimportant, they think that their son is best friends with the son of a wealthy businessman who was willing offer the boxer a job after he graduated college. They're civilians. They also originally lived in Osaka before moving to Italy.

Knuckle (Eldest) - 24 years old, likes preaching.

Ryohei (Second) - 17 years old, currently living in Japan. From what his family knows, he decided to stay in Japan and travel around the country to train to be a professional boxer, challenging worthy opponents to become stronger.

Kyoko (Youngest) - 16 years old, a civilian, she was supposed to come to Namimori with her brother because her best friend apparently moved there after she went to Italy but Hana advised her not to. She was told that there was a 'turf war' going on and it would be best to postpone her visit, so she stayed in Italy with her parents.

Spade:

Father - Went missing 7 years ago and was presumed dead. He only wrote his children in his will, his (second) wife didn't get a single cent. He's a skilled illusionist and taught his sons to be the same.

Mother - Deceased, she was a kind woman who was loved by her family greatly.

Nagi's mother - A golddigger who was furious that she wasn't included in her husband's will and took her daughter so they can live in Japan where she married another wealthy man. She went missing shortly after a fire that killed her second husband, it was after she received all her husband's money.

Daemon (Eldest) - 24 years old, wants to kill his little brother and regrets not being able to save his little sister or even be able to attend her funeral.

Mukuro (Second) - 18 years old, took up his mother's last name. He joined the Representative Battle for the sake of finding out the truth behind his sister's death. They were very close and Mukuro had even given her a phone a long time ago which was embedded with mist flames so no one else but her can see and use it.

Nagi (Youngest) - 11 years old upon death, deceased for four years. She was said to have died at June 9 on a car accident, but three days after the incident Mukuro received 3 missed calls from the phone he gave her. At September 6, there was a fire that killed her stepfather and other servants. Mukuro believes that she died during this fire instead of a car accident.

Hibari:

Father - a high ranking officer in the Japanese military, currently staying in Tokyo.

Mother - an infamous assassin, travelling all over the world.

Alaude (Eldest) - 24 years old, works at CEDEF while being a guardian.

Kyouya (Youngest) - 18 years old, known as the Demon of Namimori while at the same time protecting it from 'herbivores'.

Bovino:

Lambo (Only child) - 7 years old, was sent on a mission 2 years ago and has yet to return. He still maintains contact with the family but only to resupply weapons.

Lampo (Cousin) - 18 years old, most likely the next boss of the Bovino famiglia.

I didn't like "In the Shadows". It was boring and it centered around the First!Gen. So I made a new story which is pretty much the continuation of that. Here's all you need to know! You don't need to read the first part, it's boring. This will center around the Tenth!Gen :D And will contain more dark themes hopefully. I also noticed that there were a few errors in my story, so here are a few things that I would like to clarify and correct. It would honestly be better if you didn't read the first part because it'll just be confusing -_-

There will be insanity, blood and murder in future chapters so be warned ~ ^_^

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this one!
