Author's Note:

This is a rewrite of Memoria. Plot wise, it remains largely unchanged from my original though I will change a few details (such as Hana's involvement) and add one OC. (5 total, though I am taking liberties of what OC exactly defines. I will elaborate on the OCs when they actually appear ^_^)
Aside from the changes in some details, I am also splitting Memoria as a whole into two parts/views. That will also be explained when the time is right.
Special thanks to Animaddict for the continual support and helping me renew my interest in this project :)

"Is everyone ready?"

Hayato leapt out of his seat in an instant."Of course Juudaime, I am always ready." In a rare act of assertion, he walked up to Tsuna and engulfed him in a close hug. Letting go, he took a step backwards and knelt in front of him, formally kissing the ring on Vongola Decimo's finger. "I will follow you to another universe and back."

Tsuna smiled. "Thank you, Hayato."

That was when Hayato realized how bold he just acted. Flushing in embarrassment he began to prostrate nonstop, hitting the marble floor so quickly that by the time Tsuna was able to react and attempt to stop him Hayato had already hit the floor at least 5 times.

Takeshi laughed and nudged him aside. "Maa maa, Hayato, stop hogging Tsuna."

Hayato shot up with a start. "What are you-" He stopped his rant upon seeing Takeshi's expression. Grumbling, he obediently went back to his seat.

Engulfing his boss in a hug, Takeshi laughed. "Let's play together again, with everyone else, ne?" He stepped back and imitated Hayato's ritual of respect, kneeling and kissing the ring as well. Straightening, he smiled. "Ready when you are, Tsuna."

Tsuna nodded and was about to reply when he forced into a bone crushing hug. "EXTREME Tsuna! We will meet Kyoko again to the extreme!" Seeing the other two perform the ritual, Ryohei did the same, kneeling and kissing the Vongola ring.

"You will always be my extreme little brother." He muttered softly, surprising everyone else in the room. So Ryohei wasn't a broken speaker constantly turned on- "LET'S DO THIS TO THE EXTREME TSUNA!" Never mind.

Ryohei pumped his fist in the air. "OH! AND YOU NEED TO EXTREMELY JOIN THE EXTREME BOXING CLUB-"

Lambo pushed Ryohei away after covering his mouth. "Vongola, make sure you buy me double the grape candy this time!" He paused and sniffled. "…To-ler-ate…" He couldn't. Lambo tackled Tsuna to the floor, silently crying into Tsuna's white cape, mumbling Tsuna's name repeatedly, like it was a long chant. He had intended to just hug his brotherly figure but was unable to control his strength and contain his tears. "Tsuna-nii…"

The cow and omnivore duo were dragged to their feet by the mighty skylark, who, in a rare occurrence, had hidden his emotions so well that even Tsuna's hyper intuition couldn't read them clearly. Lambo instantly flashed Kyoya a glare. Amused at the once-in-a-lifetime show of defiance, Kyoya stepped away and let Lambo finish.

Lambo quickly separated himself from Tsuna and performed the ritual as well, kneeling and kissing the ring, before he stood up and hugged his brother once more. Letting go, he stuck his tongue childishly at Kyoya and quickly ducked behind I-pin, just in case.

Kyoya rolled his eyes and walked up to his everyone-but-himself-proclaimed boss. Ruffling his hair, he stepped back and knelt before him, just because it was within discipline to follow the protocol (not that Tsuna had actually wanted the protocol in the first place, it was something Reborn made them do), and kissed the ring.

Standing up, Kyoya encircled Tsuna with an arm and tapped his head on Tsuna's shoulder. The closest he will actually get to hugging the omnivore in public, especially in front of the pineapple herbivore. Speaking of the pineapple…

"Kufufufufu… oya oya, the birdie is such a sweetie~" The pineapple was being irritating as always. Kyoya glared but let it go when he felt Tsuna lay a hand on his arm. He grunted and walked off, wanting to be as far away from the pineapple as possible.

Tsuna smiled and shook his head wearily at the behaviour before he felt a set of arms snaking around him. "Kufufufu... fufufufufufufu…" Whatever Mukuro wanted to say, he found himself unable to voice out and settled on giving 'kufufu's instead. If there was a kufufu interpreter, they would translate it into something along the lines of 'Thank you for everything'.

Though Tsuna could not understand the kufufu's at the slightest, even after listening to them for so many years, he understood the gist of what Mukuro was trying to convey. Sighing happily, he patted Mukuro's back in attempts to comfort him.

"Sawada Tsuanyoshi, I have not given up on possessing your body."

Tsuna found himself still smiling regardless. Really, after so many years of saying the same thing it was an empty threat at worst.

Stepping back, Mukuro gave a very Mukuro-like smile, creepy and mysterious. After years of experience from living with him for so long, Tsuna was able to understand that the smile was a facade, merely a way for Mukuro to hide his true feelings. "Kufufu… the mafia and their rituals. They sure know how to act pointlessly." Even so, Mukuro knelt down and kissed the ring. Standing up, he leaned into Tsuna's personal bubble…

And was pushed aside by Chrome. "I'm sorry, Mukuro-sama, but I want some time with Bossu as well." Chrome gave Tsuna a hug, crying slightly into his shoulder. "Thank you for everything." Chrome herself did not understand Mukuro's kufufu language. She was just capable of voicing out her thoughts better than Mukuro. Stepping back and wiping a stray tear off her cheek, she knelt down and kissed the ring. Chrome stood up and smiled at Tsuna before leaning forward and kissing him on the cheek. Tsuna smiled back and returned the gesture.

"Hey hey, let's do that." Takeshi cut in, one hand grasping Hayato and one on Lambo.

"I EXTREMELY AGREE. COME ON HIBARI, PINEAPPLE." Ryohei grabbed their arms in a killer grip before they could sneak off.

Tsuna could only sigh. "How old do you think we are..." He offered his hand to Chrome, who took it gracefully. The two of them joined the circle of guardians.

"ALRIGHT! 3 ...2 ...1 ...VONGOLA FIGHT!" "EXTREME!"

"... Are you monkeys 14?" Hana furrowed her eyebrows, watching as they disbanded. "Oi Tsuna. A word."

Tsuna walked over to her, ignoring the fact that half his guardians were trying to beat up the other half for putting them through such a humiliating experience. "Yes, Hana?"

"You're going to set everything back to the beginning, right?"

"Yes, if all goes well."

Hana snorted. "What's with that response? Anticipating failure?"

"Of course not." He paused, looking grim. "This is an all or nothing operation. I can't fail."

"Good. Keep that attitude." Hana paused and dropped to one knee, kissing the Vongola ring on a stunned Tsuna's finger. "Leave the rest to the other monkeys and myself. I'll clean up for you if you are incapable of doing so."

Tsuna's eyes had widened considerably. "I... Well... Thank you, Hana."

Hana shook her head slightly and hugged him briefly. "Thank me by succeeding."

The two of them turned to the loud sniffling noises next to them. Shoichi was on the ground, clutching his stomach and crying uncontrollably at the same time. The tears just kind of happened. Tsuna knelt down and enclosed Shoichi in a hug, rubbing circles at his back. "It's alright, Shoichi. Everything will be fine."

Shoichi rambled on about something incoherent, clutching Tsuna's suit tightly in his fists like a lifeline.

"Vongola." Tsuna glanced up at Spanner, who was holding an unwrapped spannerpop. The candy found itself inside Shoichi's mouth less than a second after. Spanner ruffled both boys' heads before giving Tsuna a brief hug and successfully prying Shoichi off his boss. The sudden intrusion of the candy in Shoichi's mouth had shocked his tears away and help him regain his composure.

The three of them stood up, Shoichi giving Tsuna an apologetic look. Tsuna smiled back, gesturing it was fine.

The inventor duo shared a look before they both knelt simultaneously. Shoichi took out the spannerpop and kissed the ring before passing the hand to Spanner, who did the same.

Tsuna blinked twice before he registered what they had just done. "Hie! You didn't need to do that-"

"Tsunayoshi-kun, we are part of Vongola." Shoichi clasped his hands on Tsuna's shoulders and sniffled.

Spanner shrugged. "It was fun." Ruffling Tsuna's hair once more, Spanner dragged Shoichi away before he burst into tears again.

"Brat."

Tsuna turned and cocked his head slightly to the side with a smile. "Xanxus?"

"…" Xanxus huffed. He grabbed Tsuna's shoulder and crashed their bodies together. Tsuna briefly wondered if Xanxus knew the difference between a hug and a body slam. "The next time I see you, I will shoot you."

Since when have you not? Tsuna inwardly screamed. He sighed. At least Xanxus was being kind enough to warn him…?

Xanxus clicked his tongue, annoyed that he was unable to get Tsuna annoyed. Stepping back, he suddenly smirked, idea forming in his head. Xanxus reached out to Tsuna's right hand and brought it to his face. He kissed the ring and let go of the hand, pleased with Tsuna's visible look of irritation.

"What was that for?"

Knowing how exactly to push Tsuna's buttons, Xanxus' smirk grew. "Protocol."

"…" The look of exasperation on Tsuna's face reminded Xanxus of why he like to annoy the tenth so much. "Since when did you follow protocol?" Tsuna deadpanned, a visible tick mark slowly forming on his head.

Xanxus couldn't hold it in anymore. He barked with laughter. Amused, he ruffled Tsuna's hair. "Whenever I want, brat." Xanxus gave a solemn expression as he reorganized Tsuna's hair the best he could (not that it was necessary anyways. Technically speaking, ruffling his hair and straightening it were basically the same thing.) "Don't push yourself too hard."

Tsuna nodded. "I know."

The look on Xanxus' face showed that he evidently did not believe him but dropped the subject when he felt someone tugging on his sleeve.

Enma's piercing red eyes met Xanxus' as they had a short staring (glaring) contest. It ended with Xanxus backing down. He already got to see something good from Tsuna today, he can spare the earth trash some slack.

Tsuna inwardly sweat dropped at the two's antics, watching Enma glare at Xanxus once more before turning to him. In an instant, Enma's persona flipped. "Tsuna-kun…" Eyes watering slightly, Enma gently hugged Tsuna, who returned it with the same amount of warmth. "You'll be my best friend forever no matter where we are right?"

Humming, Tsuna smiled. "Of course, as you are mine."

Enma returned the smile and stepped back. He knelt in front of Tsuna and kissed the Vongola ring. Standing up, he took in Tsuna's surprised look with a smile.

Tsuna regained his composure quickly. "You don't need to do that you know."

Enma shook his head, momentarily glaring at Xanxus' loud amused huff. "The Shimon will continue to serve Vongola in the shadows." Raising a hand above his heart, Enma gave Tsuna a serene smile. "We are Vongola."

"Tsunayoshi-dono, I as well." Basil stepped in from the side, cutting in front of a slightly annoyed Enma, he dropped to a single knee and bowed. "CEDEF or not, expect myself to serve thou eternally."

"Thank you Basil." Tsuna paused, seeing Basil not move from his position. "Basil?"

"Tsunayoshi-dono, art thou permit me to grace thy heirloom with respect?"

Tsuna blinked. What? He glanced at his hand and the Vongola ring with furrowed eyebrows. Um…

At Basil's kicked puppy look, Tsuna hesitantly brought his hand near Basil's face. Basil flashed a huge smile and immediately kissed the ring. Bowing from his position once more, Basil stood up without incidence, giving Tsuna an embrace before moving aside. Tsuna scratched his face, uncertain of what just happened.

"LIL BROOOO" Seeing Tsuna free, Dino flew (tripped) across the room and gave Tsuna a flying hug to the ground. "Tsunaaaa, I'm going to miss you soo much." Standing up, Dino rubbed his cheek against Tsuna's with affection.

Tsuna laughed at Dino's antics as he halfheartedly tried to get his self-proclaimed brother off before his suit gotten anymore crumpled. Then again, after all the hugs and tears, he doubt that Dino was going to make it any worse-

There was a loud tear sound as Dino tripped on something (his foot) and sent Tsuna back onto the ground. Tsuna inwardly groaned. He just had to jinx himself, didn't he. Assessing the damage and ignoring the background events behind him (consisting of Dino apologizing sheepishly and a few irritated guardians (Hayato and Kyoya) going after him) Tsuna realized that a seam had snapped but the damage wasn't very visible. Well it was not like this suit was going to be seen outside this room anyways. Shrugging, Tsuna mentally waved it off and turned in time to see Dino crash into him yet again and send him back to the ground.

Dino clutched onto him like a baby, mumbling under his breath. Hyper intuition sensing something, Tsuna looked up at his angry guardians and gestured them off. Hayato clicked his tongue as he walked away while Kyoya's grip on his tonfa tightened and he settled on attacking Mukuro instead.

"Dino-san…"

"I'm sorry Tsuna… I'm such a mess without all of them… Sorry for all of… that…"

Tsuna patted Dino gently. "It's fine. I would have done the same."

Dino shook his head. "No… you wouldn't have. You would have blamed everything on yourself, unlike me." He pulled away from Tsuna and clumsily wiped his face with his sleeves. "You are a great boss, Tsuna."

"Thank you." Tsuna let Dino lead him to his feet, only to have Dino kneel in front of him seconds after. Sighing, Tsuna watched as Dino kiss his ring. "You too?"

"Hehe." Dino rose from the ground and gave a childish grin. "I'm family too, aren't I?"

Sighing again, though this time gently with a smile, Tsuna nodded. "Of course."

"TSU-KUUUN" Byakuran dragged Tsuna away from the horse while still hovering in the air, flapping his wings occasionally to maintain his elevation.

"Yes, Shiro-chan?"

"Marshmallow?" Byakuran presented Tsuna with a marshmallow before he resumed hugging him.

"Thank you I guess." Eating the marshmallow, Tsuna shifted his head so he could see Byakuran's face. "How's Yuni?"

Byakuran buried his face into Tsuna's shoulder even further as he dragged Tsuna towards the Sky arcobaleno. "Yuni-chan is fine."

"That's good…" Tsuna blinked as Byakuran suddenly halted. "Shiro-chan?"

Letting go, Byakuran flew over Tsuna and landed in front of him with a mischievous smile. Tsuna groaned as he realized why Byakuran wanted.

"… You too?"

"Of course~ I need to show my boss proper respect after all." He knelt down before Tsuna.

"Boss? …Since when was I your boss?" Tsuna rubbed his temple to try to sooth out his aching head, unintentionally using his right hand. Taking it as a challenge, Byakuran flew up, still in kneeling posture, and began to attack Tsuna. And that was how Tsuna found himself in a losing battle over his hand.

"… How did I lose to someone over my own hand…?" Tsuna decided to just give up on looking for a logical explanation.

Byakuran childishly clutched Tsuna's hand like it was a prize, which it was in all respects to this situation, as he descended back to the floor to perform the ritual. How he managed to retain his kneeling posture throughout the entire event was something Tsuna did not even bother to think about. He has seen weirder stuff before. This was relatively normal.

Standing up, for once not flying, Byakuran hugged Tsuna again while dragging him off to Yuni.

"Byaku-nii... Tsu-nii..."

Tsuna nudged Byakuran off of him, who let go without any resistance, and hugged the young sky. "Yuni... Everything will be alright soon. Think of everything as a bad nightmare..." He paused, realizing that everything Yuni had put the effort to get, the relations she had worked so hard to achieve, would now be dissolved into a far away memory.

Yuni hugged him back, clutching him like a teddy bear. "I'll be alright, Tsu-nii. I have been selfish enough. It doesn't matter if it will be different next time, as long as they are alive again..."

"We'll be with you, Yuni-chan~" Byakuran enclosed his arms around both skies, wings fluttering happily as he attempted to squeeze the living daylights out of both Tsuna and Yuni at once. Tsuna sighed in exasperation at Byakuran's antics while Yuni giggled.

"Of course, you two will always be with me."

"Leaving me out?"

Tsuna stiffened while Yuni giggled some more. Byakuran let go of the two and flew off to play with Shoichi.

"Uncle Reborn."

Reborn patted Yuni's shoulder. "Leave it to Dame-Tsuna, Yuni, he will fix everything."

Groaning, Tsuna rubbed his temple, headache already forming. "Thank you for the pressure, Reborn." He found his head at the end of Reborn's fist. "Oww..."

"Planning to fail, dame-Tsuna?"

"Of course not." Tsuna's eyes flashed orange with resolve. "I will succeed."

"Then it will be fine. And how many people are you planning to hug before you finally get going?" Reborn hugged Tsuna briefly before ruffling his hair. "Make that your last. We are running out of time." Suddenly, he paused, lightbulb flashing in his head. Giving a smirk, Reborn knelt down before Tsuna.

"...Reborn...?" Tsuna watched as he took out some cleaning alcohol and a handkerchief to clean the ring. Satisfied with his work, Reborn promptly kissed it and stood up, still smirking.

"What, dame-Tsuna? I am not planning to share an indirect kiss with half the people in the room."

"Um, but didn't you just say to not waste any more time-"

"OI Reborn, kora, you hypocrite!" Colonello yelled from the side, storming forward to give Reborn a piece of his mind. Reborn ignored him, instead focusing on the rest of the room. Growing annoyed at the increasing noise level, he shot at the ceiling to bring order to the room. There was pure silence in an instant.

Staring at the bullet hole and worried that it might have attracted unwanted attention, Tsuna turned to Reborn. "Um..."

Reborn ruffled his hair. "Just get on with it, dame-Tsuna." He pushed Tsuna onto the head seat.

Tsuna scanned the large empty room, gaze lingering on each of the members of his dear family and friends as he took in their faces and emotions. Making a special note to himself to not look at the door longer than necessary, less they realize what was approaching, he gave them all a melancholic smile and turned to Kawahira. "I shall begin then."

Kawahira nodded. "The Trinisette will respond to your call."

Tsuna nodded back and closed his eyes, focusing on his resolve. With his hands in a posture vaguely similar to a prayer, bright orange flames flowed out of himself and began spreading to the entire room. The ultimate dying will, as he recalled it being called. Flames made of hope, hope for a better time and future.

Byakuran and Yuni responded to his flames. Bursting into flames themselves, they fed their flames to Tsuna, filling the entire room with a sea of orange warmth. The rest of the Arcobaleno, funeral wreaths and Vongola guardians followed soon after, the colours of their flames harmonizing with the sky.

"When I finish unleashing the Trinisette, time will travel back to when you were born. Your soul will merge with the one in the past; memories will remain." Tsuna paused, checking to make sure everyone understood.

"Your physical capabilities will be reset to that of when you were born." He looked at his guardians. "Take the time to retrain yourself. Don't push your limits too far." He received half-hearted agreements at best.

"You are free to change whatever you want to change. However, keep in mind that whatever changes you make will affect the 'future' you expect." He looked at the Varia this time. They averted from his gaze, in attempt to hide their plans of potential mass destruction. Tsuna sighed and shook his head in exasperation.

"In relation to my role as the insinuator of the Trinisette, I will be born differently. My appearance will change. I am vaguely aware of what the change is, but I will keep it a surprise for the rest of you." He smiled playfully.

"Arrivederci, my dear famiglia." Tsuna concentrated the built up flames and watched his family and friends disappear slowly, being engulfed in a burst of sky flames one by one, concentrating till the last burst of flame disappeared.

Tsuna looked around the empty room, happy that he was able to make it in time to at least send his loved ones to safety. Perhaps his luck hasn't run out yet after all. Taking a deep breath, his sky flames retracted back into himself. The ritual was almost complete-

Bang.

The door was hastily slammed open. The young man's eyes quickly scanned the room, giving a wide grin as he spotted Tsuna.

"Long time no see, Vongola Decimo, leader of the mafia."

Tsuna gazed at his pocket watch, he only needed 20 more seconds to succeed. "Sorte."

"Aren't you going to ask me how I found your location?" Sorte's shoes clacked loudly against the floor as he made his way to Tsuna. "Luck. Something that my dear lady luck has taken from you and given to me." He stopped right in front of the Don, arm's length away. "Now return him to me."

10 seconds left.

Tsuna glared at him, offended. "He neither belongs to you nor me. Don't speak of him like he's an object."

"You only think that because you haven't realized his full potential." Sorte played with his pressed 4-leafed clover locket with his left hand.

6 seconds.

"Well that's to be expected of someone known as 'dame-Tsuna'."

4.

Sorte gave a gleeful smile and that was when Tsuna suddenly realized the pain in his chest. "Not that it matters now. Nothing will stand between me and my lady luck." Sorte's grip on the knife tightened as he slowly pulled it out, prepared for a second stab if necessary.

Tsuna was rapidly loosing consciousness. How much more time did he have-

A final wave of blinding sky flames left the room empty. The bloody knife bounced off the ground with a sharp clang before losing momentum, staining the ground red.

...

"…I want to see my precious family again…"

"Sawada Tsunayoshi has no memories. Follow the original timeline."
