Sawada Tsunayoshi, Varia Cloud Guardian

Summary: What if the Varia discovered Iemitsu had a kid and went to kill him when he was younger because he was a boss candidate? What would happen if he joined them in order to prevent them from killing his mother?

Chapter 2

Tsuna walked towards the Ninth's office dreading what'll happen. He wasn't Vongola Boss because he was weak He was exhausted mentally. He had to get over another death. " I guess I won't be sleeping for a few days." he said aloud, his personality loosening up now that he was alone.

"Shhhhh" someone said behind him. Cursing he turned around one hand clenched around a knife and the other around his pill bottle. He was starting to hate the Vongola HQ. Too many people sneaking up on him. He loosened his grip as he saw Squalo but retightened it as he heard the sound of Xanxus's guns firing.

Directing his attention back to Squalo he said "Who was powerful enough to make him take out his guns. "The Ninth" was Squalo's terse reply. "So he's seriously going through with it?" he said after a while.

"VOIIIIII" Squalo yelled waving his sword up in the air. "Let's follow them." Following them and picking their way through the rubble. Tsunayoshi considered asking Squalo why they weren't helping Xanxus but decided against it before Squalo asked why he was so happy.

Almost stopping dead in his tracks, he realized that he was happy. At least, his intuition screamed that something good was about to happen. "Tsunayoshi?" Squalo's voice shook him out of his thoughts. Snapping his self out of his thoughts Tsunayoshi grunted in response to Squalo's question.

"VOIIIIII" Squalo yelled after him. "YOU CAN'T JUST GRUNT AFT-" "Shut up" he hissed quietly slipping in to an attitude he knew Squalo wouldn't yell at him in. He gestured to Xanxus who seemed like he was at his last breath. He and Squalo hid behind a wall that amazingly survived Xanxus's assault.

"Bastard, you had no right to keep this from me!" Xanxus screamed firing off another few rounds. "You made me believe that I could be the next Vongola Boss!" "Xanxus" the Ninth's voice cut cleanly through the air. "Stop this non-sense right now or you will force my hand."

"Why can I be Vongola Decimo? I've got everything I need. Power, a strong Famiglia, I even got Secondo's Flames of Wrath! I've lead the Varia for fucking Eight years which is no easy task dealing with those brats. And yet you want to hand Vongola Decimo to a scrawny kid in Japan!" Xanxus finished his rant, face red from rage and eyes filled with murderous intent.

Tsuna froze. He hadn't know about that. There was only one person in the mafia in the Vongola who had ties to Japan.

Iemitsu.

The hatred he felt at that surprised him. He had never forgiven Iemitsu when the Varia had tracked him down. He had lost all respect for him after that little event. Hence why he referred to him as by his name.

There was one thing that didn't make sense though. He was the only kid of Iemitsu. He knew his mom couldn't have another kid, it was dangerous for her and the kid. It was a miracle she survived her first pregnancy.

That blond bastard.

Tsunayoshi understood immediately what had happened. Iemitsu had another kid with a different woman and stuck the kid with his mom. Probably a year or two when he had knocked up his mom. His mom wouldn't have been able refuse a child in need. No matter what the circumstances.

Especially after he had 'run away' from home. Brooding over this for a few more seconds he ignored Squalo's look of confusion and payed attention to the approaching end of the fight. "Xanxus my son, I love you just as much as I did with Federico, Massmiso, and Enrico."

"Don't call me your son! You old man." Xanxus sneered and proceeded to fire a few bullets at him.

Apparently the Ninth had enough of this skirmish and decided to end it. After taking down a wall of sky flames to protect him from Xanxus's bullets, the flame on top of his cane started to flicker in and out in a hypnotizing way.

"Hey, Old man, what are you doing?" When the Ninth didn't respond he continued his assault on him. Once the bullets neared him however, they suddenly ricocheted off an invisible barrier. Xanxus growled. "What trick are you playing, Old man?"

He was once again ignored. Tsuna shook his head trying to clear his head of the building sound coming from the Ninth's building. At this rate he wouldn't be able to hear anything. The noise got louder as did flame on the cane.

The two steadily rose and continued to assault his two senses. Having long closed his eyes and plugged his eyes, the light and noise reached their breaking point. In a big " WHOOSH" everything exploded. Stunned, Tsunayoshi grabbed the wall to steady his self, careful not to make his grip so hard, lest it'll break.

Once the noise died Tsuna was left with a ringing in his ears when he was too close to Squalo for comfort. Once he could focus his eyes he saw Xanxus's encase in an ice-like structure, preserving his sneer for the world. Focusing a bit, he could tell the ice was not normal in anyway.

"Xanxus, my son, even though you were adopted, I loved you no less than the others. Spoiled you, even. "Nono said sadly. "I wonder where I went wrong in raising you." Tsuna sighed quietly. They're talk earlier had confirmed his suspicions.

Tsuna tapped Squalo who seemed to be in shock. Idiot. "Let's get Xanxus" Squalo nodded. "I'll hold off the Ninth retreat with Xanxus. Signal the others. I plan to be outta here in less than 30 minutes." he said while darting from behind the wall, revealing his presence.

He leapt in front of Xanxus and clutched the pill bottle. God, twice in one day, proof that he was slacking. Deciding he'll up his training regimen later, Tsunayoshi popped a pill. Nono's eyes narrowed as he saw the pill. He let the satisfaction glow in his chest as he saw Nono's eyes widening due to his purple-clad eyes and purple flame flickering on his forehead.

"Go" he said to Squalo behind his back. "Roll him if you need to." he said to Squalo's struggling on how to get Xanxus out of the room.

I'm afraid I cannot allow that." said Nono. "He's a danger to the Vongola Famiglia." "We'll take care of him." Tsunayoshi said in reply. "I cannot guarantee that." Nono said his gaze sharp and piercing.

"Hn. Your loss." Tsunayoshi stated his gaze just as fierce.

And then they clashed.

Nono took the initiative by throwing his cane. Taking Tsunayoshi by surprise the old man moved in a speed that did not fit his appearance. "So tell me," he said regaining back his cane, " How is it that you have the Vongola Flame a top of your forehead.?" the Ninth said as they met in a flurry of blows.

Cane against a knife.

Sky vs. the Cloud.

Tsuna propagated the knife so he had one in his left hand. He aimed for the forehead as he took a swipe at Vongola Nono not essentially caring if he struck true or not. While the Ninth was distracted by Tsunayoshi's knife flying towards his head, he drove his left fist towards Nono's stomach.

His was promptly stopped by an hand on his wrist. As expected Nono was not an amateur. The battle continued with Tsunayoshi stating how ignorant the Vongola was if they didn't know how he had their special flame and how ignorant they were about how they didn't know anything that was going on in their Famiglia.

He expected an reaction, anything really, but Nono's face remained impassive. He expected the Ninth to connect the dots, his name was Tsunayoshi, but the hint he gave him was a little vague.

As the battle continued the Ninth was slowly but surely over-powering Tsuna as the duel went on. He was only in Dying Will mode after all.

Meh, he though, Squalo and the others should have retreated with Xanxus by now and he knew the Ninth's Guardians were quickly closing in on him. He had no wish to face the Ninth's guardians in a battle. He had heard of Coyote's and Visconti's fearsome reputation.

Sooo, no, he was drawing this battle to the end. "This was nice and all but I've got no reason to draw this out." he said. The Ninth nodded and made no move to intercept him. "Good bye Tsunayoshi" the Ninth said staring at him. "But don't think this is over, we'll have Xanxus back in under a week."

"Hn," he grunted and started to leave out of a nearby window when the Ninth once more interrupted him. "Know this Tsunayoshi," Nono said "You are not a true Cloud, more like the vast and accepting sky."

"The Varia is now my family, I shall always be the Cloud." he retorted and retreated.

-(The Ninth's POV)

"Tsunayoshi, huh?" he muttered. "Timoteo!" his right-hand man yelled at him. "Are you all right" "Yes Coyote, it'll do more than that to do me in. Do me and favor though and schedule a meeting to Iemitsu, the current head of the CEDEF." he said sighing.

"Right away, sir." Coyote replied. "Looks like Iemitsu and I are gonna have a talk regarding a certain child of his.


A/N So that was Chapter 2. I hope you like it. It was longer than the First chapter wasn't it? It'll probably take me long to update Chapter 3 since I write my chapters on paper first then type it.

It helps me catch mistakes and when I'm typing and plot holes. I share a computer with a family of 5 including me so it's hard to write a story when my family is breathing down my neck asking what I'm writing.

I hope you like how I portrayed Tsuna, Squalo, and Xanxus in this chapter. I felt like I changed Tsuna a lot in terms in personality a lot from what he was like in the first chapter.

And I had no idea what I was doing with Squalo and Xanxus at first. On the other hand, I feel like I captures Timoteo ( the Ninth) very well in this chapter except the part at the end.

I would like to thank all the people who reviewed this story. It helps me write faster believe it or not. I'm not the type to write out Pen names and stuff like that but here you go.

I hope this clears up some confusion. As Tsuna's half-brother, his name will be Sawada Keigo in honor to Asano Keigo from Bleach. I love his character. I've decided that I'm just gonna write the story and not worry about the length of the chapters.

Though this chapter written out was about 12 pages long. So pretty good the last one was around 5-6 pages. Hope you liked the spar with Tsuna and the ninth. And yes Timoteo does know who Tsuna is. In case there's confusion over that.

If you have a question leave a Review or Pm me. I really hope you leave a review though. If you have a suggestion also I'm really open to them. Yaoi, slight Yuri I've got no problem. Though there will be no pairings. I've got no talent at writing romance.
