Summary: After mysteriously disappearing, Tsuna regained memories of a past life that he had long forgotten, a past that would greatly affect his fate. And once he was found, he wasn't the same. Months later, a new enemy appears before Vongola, and he seems to know more about Tsuna than he was letting on. And with limited time, Tsuna must accomplish his goal before it's too late.
The tranquil atmosphere was a pleasing one. The desolate forest was seemingly devoid of habitation, let alone all the tall trees and small critters living within the perimeter. It was a clear day, full of radiant sunlight. Nothing seemed to be wrong.
That was, until a sudden streak of orange shot up into the sky. Amber flames flickered to life, enveloping a large amount of trees, disturbing the birds from their homes, causing them to fly away in rapid flocks. But the fire did not seem to burn any of the greenery, it only continued to burst in and out.
The source of the light was a certain figure on the ground. The fire's origin was outlined in deep orange, and a human body could soon be made out within the flames. As the fire began to die down, so did the distortion around the figure.
Only seconds later, the fire vanished. The forest was quiet, as if nothing had happened. There was no change: not a single burn in the forest, not a single piece of ash.
The only remnant of the mysterious flames was the young teen sprawled across the ground.
Brown hair that stuck up in a gravity-defying manner surrounded a thin face covered in flecks of red. The boy wore a white dress shirt ripped and stained with blood that oozed from multiple wounds on his body. Wrapped around his small shoulders was a black cloak that spread around his limp body. Overgrown bangs spread across his forehead, concealing his eyes. His breathing was audible and rapid, as if each intake of air was painful.
The suddenly bright scenery before him was blinding, and it took a few moments for the boy's eyes to adjust. Once they did, he was looking up at a bright, sunny sky.
"The sky...?'
Faint voices shouted in his ears, though they seemed so far away. He could barely make out a couple of words.
"Over here!
"It came from over there!"
"It...can't be..."
With a deep, struggling inhale, he lifted his arm. He shook from his shoulder to the tips of his fingers as his hand stretched out towards the sky, as if trying to grab something that wasn't there.
"No..." Desperately, his fingers grasped for something substantial in the air, but there wasn't anything to feel but oxygen.
"This way!"
"I'm..."
Drowsiness overtook him as the pain in his chest intensified, and breathing felt almost impossible. His vision darkened, his arm falling to his side without any energy to sustain it.
"Look!"
"Is that-?!"
"Tsuna!"
"Jyuudaime!"
A trickle of warmth spread across his cheek as a single tear escaped from his eyes before they closed, as a grieving expression formed on his mouth before darkness took over.
"I'm sorry."
