100+ Favorites, oh my gods! That is so cool you guys, you're amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love you all so much!

Anyway, in celebration of this joyous occasion, here's the extra chapter explaining everything about who Tetsu-chan's mom is.


Ever since the day Reborn had come and destroyed the crushing monotony of his life, one Sawada Tsunayoshi had been improving. By the time his third and final year of middle school had come along, Tsuna had already shed his uselessness. Dame-Tsuna was no more and the only one who ever even called him that accursed nickname anymore was Reborn. Because as the Hitman had oh so kindly said- 'Tsuna would always be the same Dame little scaredy cat to Reborn, no matter how much he grew up.'

Frankly, Tsuna thought the Ex-Sun Arcobaleno sounded curiously like a parent.

His tormentors of the past had come to either begrudgingly respect or downright fear him. As for everyone else, they seemed to simply adore his kind and humble attitude having already been swept by the charisma that the brunette unknowingly gave off. This was all thanks to Reborn's tutelage and Tsuna couldn't be more grateful to have the Hitman at his side. Even with all the torturing-ehem-tutoring that he had to endure on a daily basis.

By the time Tsuna had joined High School, he was handsome, kind and humble fifteen year old. He got consistently good grades, even though he still struggled a bit in science. But thankfully for him, Gokudera and Shoichi were always willing to help him out in that department. He was also already fluent in about a dozen languages; English, Italian, French and Mandarin being a few of them. Also, while he wasn't exactly an athletic person, what with Reborn's Spartan training, he could more than keep up with even Hibari when it came to sparring. Forget fighting Vindice or breaking the Arcobaleno Curse, that was his biggest achievement.

Tsuna had become a bit of an idol, his own social status similar to that of idol Sasagawa Kyoko, whom he had had a major crush on all those years ago. And that was how he was when he first met Kuroko Akira; the girl he would soon come to love more than anything else.

Akira had joined Nami-High near the start of their first year, having just moved from Tokyo to Namimori with her family because of her father's job. It seemed as if by a stroke of fate itself that the girl was assigned to the same class as Tsuna, Gokudera and Hana. The girl had caught the young Decimo's attention the moment she had stepped into the room; her azure eyes glancing around nervously as she tucked a lock of matching blue hair behind her ear.

Warm brown eyes met timid blue ones and Tsuna felt the world slow down around him. That moment was so cheesily perfect that it felt like it'd come straight out of a Shojo Manga. For the first time in a while, Sawada Tsunayoshi was left dumbstruck. So he did what came easiest to him; he smiled at the girl and through some stroke of merciful fate, she smiled back. Years later, when recounting the very moment Tsuna would swear on his life that his heart skipped a beat at the angelic scene.

The fairy tale moment, though, was broken too soon by the teacher.

"Kuroko-chan, you can sit on the empty seat beside Sawada-kun over there. Sawada-kun please raise your hand. Oh and if you don't mind, help Miss Kuroko settle in would you?"

"Hai, Sensei." The brunette grinned. His day had just gotten about a million times better.


Over the course of the next two months, the two became awfully close. Their friendship now bordered on something much, much more. Akira even gelled well with the misfit entourage that seemed to come with knowing the boy. Meaning she got along with a whole bunch of crazy people that Tsuna called his closest friends. Even Gokudera thought highly of the girl and that was a near impossible feat in itself.

And so, Reborn and the others only found it fitting that the two started dating already. It was one heck of a weird day full of giant turtle, blood thirsty Prefects on a rampage, illusion-made cupids and all other sorts of crazy stuff, concluding with Tsuna panickedly kicking away a box of heart-shaped candies. The chocolates were made by Bianchi and hence were automatically some form of poison cooking.

Back to the point, it was complete chaos but at the end of it Tsuna still managed to come out with a changed relationship status.

Yet, Akira still remained in the dark about Vongola. It wasn't that Tsuna didn't trust the girl, far from it really. It wasn't even that he was scared she would hate him if she knew. He knew for a fact that Akira really would accept him for anything, even the Boss-to-be of the largest Mafia Famiglia in the whole wide world. It was just that he didn't want to involve her into this dark world that had come to be his own. He didn't want her to lose her carefree life because of him, like so many of his friends had had to. He still couldn't forgive himself for getting Yamamoto, Ryohei, Kyoko, Haru and Hana mixed up with the Mafia.

Things were fine, even pleasantly blissful for a while. But with a secret as big as Tsuna's it was bound to some out at some point. The boy was just glad it didn't blow up in his face or anything.

"Tsuna?" Akira asked timidly, one sunny afternoon on a school day, as they sat down for lunch. The only other people present were Gokudera, Yamamoto and Chrome as everyone else in their rag-tag group either had somewhere else to be-Kyoko, Haru and Hana-or simply didn't want to be there-Hibari.

"Mhm." Tsuna mumbled, taking a bite of his onigiri.

"Are you a Yakuza Boss?" Cue violent coughing as a certain Mafia Boss-to-be choked on his food.

"Wh-What makes you say that, Akira?"

"Well, Gokudera-kun calls you 'Jyuudaime' which literally means Tenth Boss of some Yakuza after all. So it's kinda hard not to notice. Also, Chrome-chan calls you 'Boss' as well, not to mention how Hibari-san calls you an Omnivore. Which means you must be really strong to not be a Herbivore like everyone else. Oh and I once saw Yamamoto-kun and Sasagawa-senpai beat up some men in suits outside of school and talking about not letting them touch 'their Boss'."

Gokudera Hayato was already busy banging his head against the floor as he profusely apologized for his 'grave error'. Chrome was blushing like mad and diligently avoiding any and all eye-contact with Tsuna. Yamamoto just grinned his infamous sheepish grin.

"Ano, it's a game..?" Tsuna trailed off uncertainly.

"Come on Tsuna! A game, really?" Akira said in exasperation. "Even Yamamoto-kun wouldn't believe something that ridiculous."

"You'd be surprised." Gokudera interjected.

"Either way! I'm your girlfriend, don't I deserve the truth?"

And that was how Kuroko Akira found out about how her boyfriend was the Boss-to-be of the biggest Mafia Famiglia in the whole world. The blue haired girl took it surprisingly well and one Sawada Tsuna learned to never hide things from his girlfriend again.


The evening of the day of their High School Graduation, Tsuna asked Akira out on a date. Seeing as they had been together for the better part of their three years of High School, the blue-haired girl didn't think much of it and quickly agreed. They went to the movies and the arcade after that and finally ended their day with sushi at Yamamoto's father's sushi bar. Tsuna walked Akira home and they stood at the door, hand in hand as Tsuna collected his strength to say what he needed to.

"Akira.." He began quietly. "You know I love you, right?"

"Tsuna, what is this about?" Akira interjected nervously, not liking the way her panicking mind told her this conversation seemed to be going.

"Just hear me out, okay? I will be leaving for Italy next week for my Inheritance Ceremony. Once I officially become Decimo I will have to spend most of my time in Italy, looking after the Famiglia. I don't know how packed my schedule would be or when I'll be able to come back to Japan pr for how long and I..." The brunette trailed off and Akira almost fainted from the panic.

"Tsuna you-you aren't breaking up with me are you?"

"No no no! Of course not no! What I'm saying is that I love you, I am in love with you and I think I have been since the moment our eyes met on your first day all those years ago. There is nobody I would rather spend the rest of my life with than you and I know we're probably too young to be making this decision but I know in my heart it's the right one." Tsuna had gone down on one knee, a velvet box in hand.

"So what I am saying is, Kuroko Akira would you marry me?"

"Yes, oh my god yes!" Akira answered instantly. What Tsuna had said was true for her as well. She loved this boy with all her heart and she didn't want to wait any longer.

Tsuna slipped the ring onto Akira's finger and the girl couldn't help but gasp in awe at the pure beauty of it. It was a smooth, silver band with an average-sized solitaire on top, surrounded by tiny stones of sapphire.

"They match your eyes." Tsuna explained simply. Oh gods did she love this boy.


One Sawada Akira paced up and down her and her husband's room in the Japanese Vongola Mansion, biting her nails nervously. On the bed behind her lay a positive pregnancy test. Akira did not know what to make of this. On one hand, she was bursting with joy at the mere thought of becoming a mother. On the other hand was the fact that she was only just nineteen. Her and Tsuna had only been married for an year and even though the past year had been the best year of her life, she did not know if things would remain as blissful with this new development.

What would Tsuna say? He would be happy right? Probably not, he already had so much on his plate. There was no way he could handle a child as well. Would he hate her for this? No, Tsuna would never do that, right? Oh my god, she didn't know! What the hell was she supposed to do now? Oh my God! Lost in her dilemma, Akira completely failed to notice as Tsuna entered the room, tired after a long day of meeting and paperwork.

The brunette spared one glance to his panicking wife and then spotted a certain object on the bed.

"Akira," Tsuna said scooping up the pregnancy test and finally gaining his wife's attention. "Are you pregnant?"

"Y-yes."

"I have to go." Tsuna said turning around and violently opening the door.

"Tsuna wait I-" Panic and desperation made her choke but she didn't need to say anymore.

"Mom, dad! Come here, I've got the best news!" Tsuna yelled excitedly, laughing out in joy.

A giggle left Akira's lips as she realized how stupid she had been to think even for a second that Tsuna would hate her for this. Tsuna loved her to the moon and back and he would love their child even more. She just knew it.


Tetsuya was confused. The four-year-old had spent his day wandering the streets of Tokyo, tiny hand clutched in his mother's warm one, as she guided him through the bustling streets of her beloved hometown. They had been having a pleasant time browsing through shops and stopping for snack every now and then. Two sweet nii-sans had been with them as well, to protect them, his mother had told him. But now the nii-sans were nowhere to be seen, his mother looked panicked and everything was just too confusing for the toddler to comprehend.

Sawada Akira clutched her son protectively in her hands as she ran through the mostly empty side streets, trying and failing to get her attackers of their trail. She was scared but she didn't let the fear overcome her. She had to protect her son from the people who meant to harm him and she couldn't do that if she succumbed to the panic. Fancy heels clacked loudly on the tarmac as she made a sharp turn.

Ahead of her was a deserted playground and suddenly, an idea hit her. She ran forward to the little playhouse that stood in the middle of the park, setting her son down and looking around to make sure there was no one nearby.

"Tetsu-kun, listen to Mama. We're gonna play a small game of hide and seek okay? You hide here and mama's gonna hide somewhere else. You just stay quiet and stay put. Don't come out until Mama or one of Papa's friends comes to get you. Could you do that for me?"

"Okay."

"Here, hold my phone for me as well. Yeah? Mama will try to be back soon, okay sweetie? Don't be scared and don't move form here. I love you."

With that, Akira took a step back and a moment later, managed to cover the little playhouse in her mist flames. She had learned to use them soon after Tsuna had told her about the Mafia world. And then when she was sure her boy would be safe, she was gone. Praying all the while for her son to not be discovered.

Tetsuya on his part remained hidden, not daring to go against his mother's gentle orders. He was confused and tired and soon slipped off into the land of dreams, his mother's sleek black phone clutched tightly in his tiny hands. And that was how Tsuna found his son; peaceful in sleep as he waited for his mother, blissfully unaware of what he had lost forever.

"Papa," The tiny boy whispered sleepily as the man picked his son up. "When will Mama come back?"

"I'm sorry Tetsu-kun." Tsuna choked out, unshed tears glistening his pain-filled eyes. "But I'm afraid Mama wont be coming back."


And done! Don't hate me for killing her, please!
