Title: It's Not Your Fault
By: chiri-san
Summary: Set TYL. Vongola Famiglia boss Sawada Tsunayoshi and how he felt when he could not protect his family. Instead having to resort to sending his younger self to do it.
Disclaimer: I wish this was mine, but alas that is just a wish.
Set TYL.
He walks towards the coffin with a slight downturn of the mouth letting his displeasure be known to the world, back straight and hands clenched at his sides show how tense he is.
How could he have let this happen? They were his famiglia and it was his job to protect them yet instead that job fell to someone else, someone who was not better at the position, but had more potential. Someone he knew very well.
Sawada Tsunayoshi.
His ten years younger self had done a better job protecting his famiglia than he had even with his vast knowledge and ten extra years of experience, he had failed them.
As his feet neared the coffin, he slightly shook his head and gave a short, bitter laugh. Looking towards the sky, which was always dark and dreary before, is now a light, crystal blue. As he lightly traced the coffin that beared the Vongola insignia a single tear fell along with a sob that he couldn't hold back.
The memories flickered through one by one.
Gokudera blowing up that old fart Nezu for him, Gokudera taking blows that was originally supposed to be his, and Gokudera declaring his unwavering loyalty during Vongola Primo's trials with his fiery spirit.
Yamamoto missing baseball practice for him, Yamamoto protecting him from Bel's knives, and Yamamoto always cheering him up acting like the rain that washes away all adversity.
Lambo being strong during tough times, Lambo offering grape candy to him, and Lambo declaring him as a great Onii-san.
Onii-san always pestering him to join the boxing club, Onii-san protecting the family, and Onii-san helping him through the Arcobaleno Trials with the sun which illuminates the sky.
Mukuro standing against him yet making him develop into someone stronger, Mukuro always teasing him and making perverted jokes, and Mukuro joining his side and protecting the family as one.
Chrome fighting for the mist position, Chrome suffering under Daemon's torture because of him, and Chrome's help getting Uni back.
Hibari finally declaring him as an omnivore, Hibari not biting him to death, and Hibari showing him the meaning of true resolve.
Soon the tears started falling more and more quickly and his sobs grew louder, it looked like the sky that shines onto all and envelops all has begun it's downfall.
And that was how his family found him.
How is it so far? I'm willing to continue or leave it as a one-shot. Please help and leave a review! Thanks~
