Sawada Tsunayoshi was breathing heavily; the fight against the Habu family was still going strong even after an hour. His eyes burned in frustration, 'Why doesn't Katsumao retreat? His family is being annihilated!' The brunette swung his fiery fists to knock down an oncoming opponent.

Katsumao Fudo, the 4th generation boss of the Habu family, dressed in a sharp black suit glared at Tsuna. 'That man… he will not be forgiven… nor will his family for taking the eyes of my great grandfather.' The bluenette clenched his fists, darting towards the back of the breathless Vongola Decimo.

"Sawada!" It was Ryohei, the extreme boxer, who had spotted Katsumao running towards the unprotected back of his boss.

"JUUDAIME! Protect your eyes! That man takes the eyes of his enemies!" The silver haired bomber warned his beloved boss and even though he was engaged in battle, the teenager shot fierce stares at the Habu boss.

Tsuna flew into the air where Katsumao's flame bullets would be less likely to reach him. His voice firm and commanding, "Katsumao, this is your last chance to retreat and never appear in front of the Vongola family again. If you do not heed this warning you and your family will perish under the Vongola and you

will be left incapacitated."

Irregular flames were omitting from the brunette's forehead and his hands made a rectangular shape, but still the bluenette refused to move. "This is your final warning!" Tsuna's strong voice made the Habu family members shiver in fright.

"Go ahead. I don't care about this trash. They're just my shield from enemies."

That made the brunette snap, in his angered state he went for the standing 20 year old.

"How can you even think of doing that? How can you call yourself a Boss? Family may bring hate and jealousy. Family may mean hurt but there is comfort and protection. Family! That's where LOVE is!" The brunette looked at the Habu boss's famiglia, the men and the women, glanced at each other, trembling at the truth of the statement. "You may not believe in it but the rest of your family does!"

"Herbivore… Don't lose your cool now." It was the Prefect, gripping his bloody tonfas. "I won't be able to bite you to death if you do." Hibari smirked and thought to himself. 'It would be more fun to bite to death a fighter than a whiner.'

The brunette felt chills climb up his spine as his hyper intuition sparked, suddenly a fist met his cheek, and the force of it caused him to fall backwards.

"GAHH"

"Family… hmmm… I have none… your damned family took the eyes of my last true family!" Katsumao started to chuckle which slowly turned into a cackle.

"Haa! Family! I can't wait to hear your famiglia scream and cry!"

His hyper intuition sparked again, this time Tsuna was ready and turned around to find a 6'3" male, looming over him, a needle in his hand ready to inject him with it. When Tsuna had knocked the male down he immediately searched for his family.

They were all on the ground, limp and lifeless … except for Hibari who was still trying to bite the Habu family to death.
"KATSUMAO! What did you do to them?" Tsuna felt a lump forming in his throat and worry swell in his chest. He couldn't let his guardians suffer again.

The fourth generation boss inspected his nails and smiled, he was genuinely taking joy from their pain. "They've been poisoned," he turned his smiling eyes to the shocked brunette covered in blood and dirt. "Eventually they will all die."

"YOU. Dirty. Cheat-"

Tsuna felt a sudden pain in his neck. He turned around to look but the pain was too much and he fell to his knees. He felt hands grasping his shoulders, hauling him up to a standing position.

"If you want them to survive then you have to rip your own eyes out…" The bluenette smiled with glee. "…In front of them."

"Herbivore… Don't you dare listen to this **!"
Tsuna's dulled eyes were covered with a blindfold, but he could still hear his cloud guardian speaking. "I will bite you to death if you allow yourself to become as weak as them."

Clashes and grunts sounded out all around him.

Tsuna fell again to his knees panting at the pain of the poison circulating through his blood system. "Hi… Hibari-san… save… save our family" The brunette yanked the blindfold off and with trembling legs he pulled himself up. "…Leave him to me" The brunette sprinted towards the sounds of the tonfas clashing with flames.

The male with cold eyes swung back his tonfas and slammed them into the Habu boss's temples. Turning to Tsuna he hissed "Leave my prey alone. Or else I. Will. Bite. You. To. Death."

"Ahhh..." Tsuna groaned in pain. 'Must keep calm, do not show any weakness!' The brunette had his eyes closed; he felt blood drip from his eyebrows. He opened his chocolate coloured eyes and his vision was blurry. 'Forget it; it's probably just the blood in the way. "Then, Hibari-san… I trust you will get the antidote."

The brunette flew to his guardians and attacked the opposing mafia members surrounding them.

o.o.o.o.o

They fought on for an unaccountable length of time, which in reality was only for twenty minutes, until Hibari finally managed to get the antidote into his possession. Tsuna picked up his guardians, the pain was overwhelming but his guardians were more important to him than his own pain.

The two of them carried Ryohei, Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Chrome to safety. The warehouse they were in had collapsed, but thankfully the people in it were able to escape to safety.

"Hibari-san, please take the antidote." The rest of the guardians had already been fed the antidote; the only ones left were the two still standing.

'How did that herbivore know I was poisoned?' Hibari closed his eyes, took the bottle, and gulped down a portion of the antidote.

"Ah" The brunette clenched at the fabric at his heart, breathless and in pain from the stinging and throbbing sensation that flooded through skull. Blood and sweat dripped down his face.

"…"

Tsuna closed his eyes and gripped the sides of his head. "Owww…"
When Hibari had drunk his share of the clear substance, he handed it to Tsuna to drink. But when the brunette blinked, he could barely see the outline of Hibari.

The brunette flinched at the sound of metal hitting metal, he looked around in a panic; his paranoia growing. Tsuna blinked again, his vision turned to darkness.

"…"

"H-Hibari-san… I-I cannot see…"

"What happened to Dame-Tsuna!" It was Reborn, his teeth were clenched and he was glaring at Gokudera and Yamamoto. "Why is he in such a condition?"
Tsuna was rushed to the hospital by Hibari, and medics came in to treat the guardians. The doctors immediately took Tsuna into the operating room. As soon as the doctor had stabilised Tsuna's condition, he told Reborn that the nerves connecting Tsuna's eyes to his brain were damaged. There was no cure for it… yet.

"I-I don't know!" The silver haired bomber strained his voice to keep from yelling at the medics and Reborn. "Juudaime… JUUDAIME SAVED US! And that jerk Hib-"

Gokudera shot a glare at the skylark who was pretending to be asleep. "Hibari…" Reborn turned around and started to walk away. 'Hibari… attacked Tsuna… damaged his eyes…'

o.o.o.o.o

"Where is he? WHERE IS MY SON!" Iemitsu ran in while pushing guards and doctors out of his way.

"Sir! You cannot come this way!" a nurse warned the tall man. "If you want to visit the patient then please wait! There are others waiting to see him. Only

one person is allowed to see him at a time!"

"Then I will make them move!" Sawada thought only of his son, his son that he made join the mafia.

Worry started to form in the blonde's eyes. The nurse saw the sheen in his eyes and reluctantly let him go and told the guards and doctors to also let him pass.

"Move… Get out of the way. I must see my son!" Iemitsu barked at the Vongola guardians and pushed them away.

"Honey?" Nana was crying into her hands, Bianchi was comforting her. 'Ah… I should just wait. She smiled at the sight, 'my husband is such as good man, a father.'

Iemitsu walked into the white room where Tsuna lay, he was not ready for what he was about to see, thick white bandages covered his sons eyes and the rest of his body.

"W-Who's there?" Tsuna tried to focus on where the footsteps were coming from, but he could see nothing.

"My son" a trembling voice escaped the lips of the blonde. He took Tsuna into his arms and gave a squeeze. "Tsunayoshi!"

Hot warm tears left the good-for-nothing father's eyes. "D-dad?" Tsuna felt safe and protected in his father's arms. "W-What are you doing? I'm okay, let me go." That was a lie, but Tsuna knew it was important to make sure his family didn't worry about him. No, dad, don't let me go. Please don't… Please!
But Tsuna's silent plea was ignored. As he left the safety of his father's arms, once more the brunette felt empty and vulnerable.

"Tsuna, I am…' Iemitsu felt the lump in his throat grow bigger; threatening to choke him and his words… "I'm sorry that… you had to be the son of such a useless father!"

'No… No Stop!'

"I'm sorry I'm your father! I don't deserve you."

'STOP NO, I could never blame you, I need you' Tsuna's heart felt like it was being crushed.

"I'm sorry th-"

"Dad, I'm okay!' The brunette forced a smile, remembering what Reborn had told him, "Tsuna you must always show yourself as the strong Vongola Decimo, everything you do, how you act will reflect the true nature of Vongola. Be strong and resilient, you must hide your pain for the sake of your famiglia."

Everything was a lie, he was not okay. He was not fine.

"Call me if you're scared! I will go to you-"

"DAD! I'm not scared." Another lie, another piercing of his heart.

o.o.o.o.o

Nana entered the room next, "Tsu-kun?"

Tsuna forced a smile once again. "Hi mom"

"I…I" no words came from Nana's mouth; she just embraced her son and cried.

Tsuna patted his mom's back, 'I must stay calm… I must stay calm…'

"Don't worry mom, I'm not scared."

o.o.o.o.o

'Dame-Tsuna… He will grow as a leader and a fighter…' Reborn smirked; "… we will overcome his inability to see, he will fight, and he will win. But there are still many important lessons to be learnt."

It'll be a hell of a week, for sure.'

o.o.o.o.o

'It's so cold.' Tsuna trembled while lying on the hospital bed, the pungent smell of disinfectant surrounding him. 'I will not be like the Habu boss, I will be a good boss, I will grow strong, I will not show my pain and fear, nor will I cry in front of my family. I shall strive through this.'
But for now, Tsuna lay in a foetal position. His eyes unseeing, his shoulder turned from the door and his arms wrapped around his torso. He whispered.

"I'm scared"

How was it?
ermmm bad?

sorry...
