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 hah yeah right.

SET TYL. Warning: angst overload.

Previously:

And that was how his family found him.

A set of hands were placed on his shoulders and another set placed on his waist. He was soon enveloped in a warm hug both in front and from behind. As he was squished between two heated bodies, Tsuna managed to dry his tears and choke back his sobs long enough to get a glimpse of his captives.

"Hayato...Takeshi." Tsuna should have known that the two of them would be the first to rush up here after they had all woken up.

"Juudaime!"

"Tsuna!"

"Are you alright?" Both of them asked, yet they already know the answer judging from the look on Tsuna's face.

Tsuna looked back up to the two of them and eyed the hardened stare in Hayato's eyes, the scar mark on Takeshi's chin. When had they become like this? Just ten years ago, they were all so care-free and innocent. Back to when Hayato was Gokudera-kun and Takeshi was Yamamoto.

Had they all really grown up this much during these past ten years?

As Tsuna remembered the boys they used to be and the men they are now, the tears started flowing once again. It was all his fault that they were in this mess in the first place. His fault that he was not strong enough to protect his most precious people. His fault that they got hurt.

Looking at them now, Tsuna couldn't help but compare them to their past selves. Back to when they were all just kids, back to the beginning.

Back to when he still had Reborn.

"Reborn.."

WOW I am so sorry for such a long pause! I really did not mean to stray from the story for so long, but thanks so much to those who left reviews! It really warms me inside ahh. This chapter may be a little short because well I had a plan when I first started this story, but I kinda forgot it and now I'm still trying to figure out how to write this little guy. Sorry for not much dialogue, I'll try to put in more next chapter! As you can tell, next chapter will focus more on Reborn and what kind of relationship they had. Will also have more in-depth details about Gokudera and Yamamoto. Maybe explanation why Tsuna now calls them by first name basis?

Congrats if you read all that! Thanks so much, hopefully more consistent scheduling of chapters. Stay tuned and review please!
