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?

"Wait." he called out. One of the Vindice had started to chain Mukuro. "You can't have Lancia. He's just a victim of Mukuro." he said hoping he sounded convincing.
"Child, we can't negotiate with someone as lowly as you." the middle Vindice said. Tsuna acted on intuition. He regretted saying the words as soon as he said them. "What about the heir of the Vongola CEDEF?"

Everyone stared at Tsuna except Fran and the Vindice. Tsuna tried to ignore the giddiness he felt from surprising Reborn again.
"How do we know that you are telling the truth?" said the Vindice with the baby on his shoulder. Tsuna scoffed, "As if I would lie to the Vindice."
"Wait, this means you're my brother?" Keigo asked. "Half." Tsuna said not looking at him. The boy reminded him too much of Iemitsu.
"Very well." said the Vindice. "We believe you are telling the truth. We'll ask Vongola Nono for confirmation." the Vindice paused. "And as for our negotiation, in return for not imprisoning Lancia, whenever I or Bermuda," He gestured to the baby on his shoulder, "need you, you must be there, and help us in whatever we need."
The Vindice's voice turned cold. "And if you break this deal Lancia becomes ours." The Vindice threatened. Tsuna mulled over the terms of the agreement. He didn't like that he, at any time, can be summoned by the Vindice. Especially by one that was a baby.
"Deal but when you summon me it can't involve me killing my family or friends and anyone that's innocent." Tsuna said. The Vindice nodded. "Very well. It's time for us to take our leave." Three more Vindice appeared each with a person in chains.
Two boys and a girl. He didn't know if they were innocent or not, he'd leave to Reborn and Keigo. The Vindice left without another word. "Well that was fun and everything but I think it's time for us to leave. Right Fran?" Tsuna said yawning.
"Yeah sempai." Fran said helping Tsuna walk towards the door. "Wait, Tsuna-" Tsuna cut him off. "Tsunayoshi, only my friends call me Tsuna." He heard Reborn hold back a sigh. "Tsunayoshi then. Do you care to explain everything back there?" He said waving his gun behind him.
"No." Tsuna and continued walking. Reborn cocked his gun. "I don't think you have a choice." "Actually I think I do. You see, Fran and I are not even here. We already left Kokuyo Land." Tsuna said.
"Then you won't mind if I do this." Reborn said and shot Tsuna and Fran in the head. The illusions scattered with a burst of Indigo Flames. "Illusions." Reborn muttered. "Let's go Keigo." He said and walked out the door.

Tsuna was on his private plane to Italy talking to a now conscious Lancia. "So you're saying telling me that I was possessed by Rokudo Mukuro, killed my Famiglia and was forced to fight you two?" Tsuna was impressed. He was taking all this very well considering all that he went through.
"Yeah, you couldn't even fight well. We kicked your butt." Fran was hunched over a refrigerator looking for something to eat. "Ignore him." Tsuna said to Lancia. "He's always like this." Lancia sighed. "So what happened to Mukuro?"
"He's back with the Vindice." Tsuna said. "Who captured him?" Tsuna motioned Fran and him. "We did." He could tell Lancia didn't believe him. "You're just a bunch of teenagers. Only an adult could've put down Mukuro."
Tsuna scoffed. "If you must know, I fought Vongola Nono when I was 13, and joined the Varia when I was 11. So that's about 4 years of being in the Varia without getting killed. And he," he jerked his thumb towards Fran, "was trained by the Mist Arcobaleno his self."
Tsuna looked Lancia looked Lancia in the eye. "If we couldn't have done it, who could?" Lancia looked at him and then at Fran and finally accepted what he said. "Sorry, it's just hard to think that two teenagers fought him off, when I couldn't even touch him. Strongest man in Italy my ass." He muttered the last part.
Fran sat down beside Tsuna and jerked his thumb towards him. "Sempai did all the work, I barely did anything. And he even bargained with the Vindice for your life at the end." He nodded his to Lancia.
Tsuna glared at Fran, he said all of that on purpose. Lancia looked at him. "Is that true." Tsuna grimaced but nodded, he didn't want Lancia to know about this. He always hated when people thanked him. They made him feel weird. It's not like he defeated Mukuro for him.
Tsuna could sense Lancia looking at him differently. "You aren't like most Mafioso. It seems like I owe you."
"No I don't. You act like I defeated Mukuro for you." Lancia shook his head. "No, I owe you for not letting the Vindice imprison me."
"Anyone would've done that." Tsuna said. Lancia snorted "No one would willingly made a deal with the Vindice to save a life of another." Tsuna winced, okay maybe he didn't think when he said that. Tsuna grunted and said nothing.
Lancia twisted a ring off of his hand. "Here it's a Dying Will Ring. My boss gave it to me." Tsuna took the ring. "So we're even now?"
"Not even close." Lancia sighed and slouched in his seat. He looked across the table at Tsuna. "No one has been able to light the ring yet, so the boss gave it to me see if I could. He told to keep it when I couldn't."
"So why give it to me?" Tsuna asked. "If it's so hard to light, there must be something special about it. I feel like you'll be able to light it. After all you're the one who beat Rokudo Mukuro." Lancia said.
Tsuna twisted the ring onto his finger, he'd inspect it later. "Thanks." He wondered what to say now. "So do you have any idea what you're going to do after this?" Lancia shrugged. "I dunno, visit my Famiglia's grave, finish paying you back, look for something to do." Tsuna felt bad for Lancia, he'd have no idea what to do either if he were in that situation.
"I'll figure it out. I could travel." He suggested. Tsuna was saved from a response when Fran, who had left, walked and sat upside down in the chair beside Tsuna, so his feet were over the top of the chair. "Sempai, I'm bored."
"Go to sleep then." Tsuna prodded Fran. "I can't." Fran moaned. "I could drug you." said Tsuna. "You're so mean sempai." Tsuna smirked. "I try my best." He turned back to Lancia. "Any more questions?"
Lancia shook his head. "Okay then I'm gonna to get some sleep." He pushed Fran playfully out the way." By the way Fran, don't eat all of the food."
"No promises sempai."

Tsuna scouted the Vongola HQ thinking how nostalgic it was. Tsuna scoffed at his younger self. To think he'd able to beat Vongola Nono at his age. At least the Ninth had held back on him.
He felt a flash of Deja Vu. He was once again trying to break into Vongola HQ. Though for different reasons this time. Tsuna knew if he didn't move soon the guards'll find him. They upped their security these past years.
Tsuna moved in when the guards rotated. As he entered the building the ease of it irked. It was easier than the first time and that was when Xanxus and them had been destroying everything. Knowing that it was most likely a trap, Tsuna went on ahead extra cautious.
Moving through the building, Tsuna blocked the cameras using a device Fran gave him. Mist filters he called them. He had made them his self. Tsuna soon arrived at the room he needed. Or at least in the vent of the room. Frustration pricked at him. The vent was closed and had no idea if anyone was in there.
Though he only needed to see one person. After deciding nobody was in there, Tsuna punched the vent into the room not caring about stealth. He slid into the room knives out. He stabbed behind him as he felt a hand on his shoulder. Why didn't his intuition warn him?
He felt his self blocked by the person. He turned around and distanced his self. The Ninth smiled at him. "Tsunayoshi." Tsuna also smiled. The Ninth was just the person he was looking for. "Sorry for almost stabbing you." Tsuna said. It was best to start out polite for what he was about to ask for.
The Ninth laughed. "I doubt you could've done any damage." Hmph, what a blow to his pride. Not beating around the bush, Tsuna asked, "Can I be the next CEDEF leader?" Tsuna winced as he said that. He sounded so needy.
He rephrased his sentence. "I'm going to be the next CEDEF leader." Okay a little brash, but just what he needed.
He studied the Ninth, he didn't appear to be saying something so he plowed on. "Plus, if you want to be technical, technically I'm the eldest son of Iemitsu, and isn't the oldest supposed to be king? Or in this case Vongola Decimo? This is the least you could do for me." He stopped to catch his breath.'
The Ninth laughed. Tsuna glared at him. Vongola Boss or not. You don't laugh after he called Iemitsu his father. "Don't you think I know about your deal with the Vindice?"
"Really? It hasn't even been 24 hours yet." He whistled. "Wow they work fast." It was the Ninth's turn to glare at him. "You do realize that if I hadn't said that you were the heir, the Vindice would've killed you. That if they went to Iemitsu for confirmation he would've said no because no because he already had a heir.
Tsuna blanched at the second part. Not because the Vindice could've killed him. People were always trying to kill him. But if Iemitsu already had a heir, that meant...
The Ninth connected the dots for him. "Since Iemitsu already has a heir I had no choice to make you mine. And you already know what happens when the Vongola Boss and CEDEF leader have two different heirs don't you?"
Tsuna nodded. The process was not unlike the Vongola Boss succession. He didn't mention that a third party too. Nono's face softened. "The only good thing out of this is that I'm getting you out of the Varia. A Sky should never have to yield to another Sky." Tsuna had nothing to say to that so he grunted. He went to leave the room.
"You should go back the way you came. The guards still don't know your here. And next time you sneak in don't use the vents. They'll have lasers in them." Tsuna sighed. "Thanks for everything."
He smiled. "And by the way, I'm not putting the vent back." He glanced at it, where it lay on the carpet. Then he left in the most dignified way possible by crawling into a vent.
-(Time Skip)-
Tsuna and Fran entered the Varia HQ. They had left Lancia on the plan for the time being. Tsuna didn't know what he was going to do with him. Though he didn't appear it, he knew Lancia was still grieving for his Famiglia. The guilt was doubled as Lancia was the one who had done it.
"Viper!" he yelled, knowing he would come faster if he yelled that name. As he expected Mammon came zooming around the corner. "Tsunayoshi how'd you-" He stopped in mid-sentence as he saw Fran. "And that explains everything." He said dryly.
"Who the hell is yelling?!" Xanxus tumbled around the corner. Tsuna laughed. "You are." he said. Xanxus and Mammon stared at him. Tsuna tried not to laugh but snorted. They looked at him harder. "Call everybody in, I'll explain then." He walked by them who stared at him in shock. "Let's go Fran. Here you can eat all the food you want."
-(Time Skip)-
"And that's why I acted like that these past years." Before they could react, Tsuna said, "Before you say anything don't say you wouldn't care about all of that. Because you're the Varia, that's what you do. You're cold blooded killers, you don't care about your allies." Tsuna stared at all of them trying to get his point across.
By saying that he spared them the embarrassment of them saying they were sorry. If they were sorry at all. It was Tsuna's way of saying that he had forgiven them.
Xanxus was the first to recover. "Whatever, trash. You were annoying when you liked us anyway." Tsuna grinned. Everything was better now. Mammon frowned. "You sound as if you're leaving the Varia." Tsuna's grin didn't fade. "Oh yeah, by the way, you're going to need a Cloud Guardian."
Xanxus looked at him. "Huh?" "You need a new guardian, I resign." Levi-A-Than looked at him. "You can't resign." Tsuna looked at him and snorted. "Yes I can. First of all, it's not like you can stop me. Second, I can't do my job anymore."
"We can threaten you."
"With what?"
"Your mother." Tsuna supposed he could get angry at this but opted to respond with this. "Good luck with that, Reborn's living with her." Ignoring their shocked and confused faces he said, "And if you ever threaten my mother again I'll kill all of you."
"Now I think that's the end of our conversation." Tsuna looked at Fran. "Meet me at the airport when you're finished talking to Mammon. I've got something to ask you."
Fran and Mammon disappeared and reappeared a few feet away. Fran smiled. "Already done sempai."
-(Time Skip)-
Tsuna and Fran walked up to his plane. 'What did you want to ask me, sempai?" Tsuna winced, he hadn't been thinking when he said that to Fran. What had he been thinking? Thinking of asking Fran to commit to something like that. Thinking of asking Fran to commit to that. Thinking he had nothing better to do with life.
Pushing his thoughts to the side, he asked, "Do you have any plans for the future. Like anything important you want to do. Like a dream?" Fran, for once, stayed serious and considered the question. "No, not really, besides finding that Famiglia, I have no idea what I want to do with my life." Tsuna nodded. "What about Mammon?"
Fran sighed, "I've got nothing to do with him anymore. He just taught me illusions. That's it." His was voice was bitter and stoic. Okay that wasn't a good question to ask.
"Why don't you join the Vongola CEDEF? You could be my Mist Guardian." Fran at first seemed to balk at the idea but then reconsidered. He finally turned toward Tsuna and smiled. "Why not?"
Tsuna grinned. "You should stop smiling so much, Fran. People might believe you're actually happy."

(Tsuyoshi's Restaurant)
"So that's what happened." Tsuyoshi said. Tsuna had just explained what happened with his fight with Mukuro. Tsuna nodded. "No offense but what are you doing here?" Tsuyoshi asked. Tsuna grinned. "I quit the Varia."
Tsuyoshi almost dropped his knife. "You what?!" Tsuna, still grinning said, "I quit the Varia." Tsuyoshi spluttered. "Tsuna, you can't quit the Varia, you're in it for life. You quit and they'll hunt you down.
Tsuna scratched his head. "Huh, I didn't think of that. Meh, they couldn't catch me anyway, I was trained by them. And they didn't look like they wanted to go after me, after all I couldn't do my job after all." He held up his hand and ignited his Cloud Flame.
It was a Weak Flame instead of a Hard one which meant that it was light purple. At this point it was just a normal fire that was purple. "See." he said and then explained all he did after he fought Mukuro.
"So now you're just waiting for your battle?" Tsuyoshi said after he finished. "Yup, and since I had nothing better to do, I came over here." said Tsuna. "There's nothing to do here, I suppose you could use the dojo to train though." said Tsuyoshi.
"Thanks and while I'm at it, I could help you with your restaurant and finally meet you son." Tsuyoshi smiled, "That'd be nice." Tsuna changed the subject. "I wonder who's going to win the Ring Battles now that I'm not part of the Varia."
"Depends on who Keigo has for Guardians. If they aren't trained well enough, the Varia are going to crush them. Though in the end, it all comes down to Keigo. If he loses to Xanxus, the Vongola will never acknowledge him as boss. "said Tsuyoshi.
"I guess we'll figure out soon enough. I know they're happening soon and they're happening in Nani-mori Junior High." said Tsuna. "The Ninth told us some years back." He said to Tsuyoshi's confused look. "Oh yeah, what did you do with Lancia?" Tsuyoshi asked.
"I sent him to my-" Tsuna was interrupted by a voice. "Oyaji! I'm home." said the voice of Yamamoto Takeshi, who, as he came into the room, had a small blue ring on his finger.

So, I know this wasn't the longest or exciting chapter and by the time it took me to update you'd expect something better. This was to show I was still alive. I have no idea how school is going to affect my writing, it's only been three days so far. So if it seems like I died, I'm probably having a hard time writing.
I also need ideas on Tsuna's Guardians. Just Sun, Storm, and Lightning. I've got the rest covered. The character doesn't have to have a Flame in the Anime. Like Kyoko doesn't have a Flame but we all know that she'd be a sun. I don't want to make an OC those things are so hard to make.
Oh yeah, should I make the Ring Battles quick or detailed? Just know that detailed will take longer. And the fight with the other candidate for the CEDEF. Same problem, quick or detailed?
If you have any questions about the story, anything you'd like to know leave a review and I'll tell you unless it's really important and it'll reveal something about the story. But there are some things even I don't know. Like Lancia's Ring or the deal with Vindice.
