Chapter VII
"Hahahaha, there's nothing you can do right now, Tsunayoshi-kun. Just leave them be and kill me." That's the taunt Byakuran throw at Tsuna. Smile… Evil smile came from the laughing man with a marshmallow in his mouth and not to mention, that stupid tattoo on his face. That's what Tsuna thought of Byakuran.
It's like time stopped itself at the moment Byakuran released his white dragon and let Kyoko fell with head first. The first thing Tsuna do is being calm. Because being panic doesn't solve the case that Byakuran made with his own two hands. The mentioned man happily ate another marshmallow while Tsuna is confused by his choice.
They say one choice can change the world. That's what Tsuna thought after seeing his friend and his crush life is threatened. Then what should he do? What choice should he choose? For people who doesn't know his feelings and judged him only by his crush for Kyoko, then the answer is very obvious that the one who is going to be saved by him is Kyoko.
Then what about Haru? She's all noisy and sometimes annoying, but behind her annoying presence, she is willingly to help her friends, excluding Gokudera.
It made him crazy. In his eyes, he can only see a monochrome world. A world where there is only two choices. Save Kyoko or Haru? That's the only choice he got. Save one of them or let them both die.
'Behold! The power of Vongola Decimo!' that's the line for the heroes, not him, the whimpy and useless Dame-Tsuna.
As time moved again, Tsuna finally made his decision.
"Byakuran! I won't save the both of them!" Tsuna's orange eyes are burning with both rage and certainty, even though his mind doesn't burn the same way his gloves are.
"Are you certain, Tsunayoshi-kun? If you do, please don't regret it later." As expected from Byakuran, another smile came from his mouth.
"Nope." Tsuna raised his shoulder and shook his head.
Gokudera couldn't believe his eyes. His precious Juudaime had just made an indecisive decision, even though the situation is dire. "Juudaime! Don't waste your time!" That's what Gokudera Hayato said when his Juudaime shook his head.
'Is he my student?' That's the only thing Reborn thought after seeing the Vongola Decimo indecision. 'Is he really Primo's descendant?' yet another thought made its way to Reborn's tiny head. "Oi, Dame-Tsuna! Don't be stupid and save the both of them already!"
Haru closed her eyes, ready to feel the pain that will make its way through her stomach. It looks like Byakuran didn't want to kill Haru straight, he wanted her to suffer. At the same time, Kyoko fell with a happy face. What is wrong with her?! Why is she smiling?! Looks like some people can dream good dreams when they are in dire situation that's going to kill them.
'Memento mori' A whisper came from Tsuna's Vongola Ring. After the whisper ended, Tsuna freaked out the way Vongola Decimo will, with his calmness. He lit the flames on his gloves. The flame is big enough to incinerate the buildings that are standing around him.
Reborn saw this and smirked under his fedora hat. 'Scared as hell flame' His smirk got wider. Not because the flame Tsuna producing is a legendary flame, but because Tsuna created his own flame that will burn his dread and his soul and because the name is rather funny…. For Reborn.
"That word has a meaning you know?" Reborn shouted behind Tsuna and hinted another smirk before continuing. "Remember you will die." Tsuna got confused and in a count of seconds, Reborn continued, "No matter who you are going to save, remember that the both of them will die someday."
Reborn is certain that the word came from Primo himself from the Vongola Ring. So the legend is true, huh?
Without thinking any longer, Tsuna lit his gloves and flew towards Kyoko's direction, not minding the one who is going to suffer before she dies. Haru let out a tear of despair and hope and she found herself smiling while Tsuna saved Kyoko from her fall. "Wish you all the happiness in this world for you, Tsuna-san."
Luckily for Haru, she got spare bullets for situation like this. Her hands can move, that's a good sign. Haru loaded her guns with all of the bullets she has. "Sayonara" Her last word is simple yet it bring chill to the person who hear it.
"Fulmine Celeste" and in a flash of light, the arena turned into a war battlefield. The arena turned barren the time Haru pulled the trigger of her guns and the time she pulled the trigger, the dragon went through her stomach.
Now, the cheerful and bright Haru is cloaked by her blood. The only color that painted Haru's body is crimson red.
After Tsuna saved Kyoko from the fall, he looked around him and found nothing but dust and a barren land in front of him, and his comrades, but no Haru.
His dream of becoming a hero is shattered into pieces. The sentence he wanted to say after he saved the both of them… can't be said again. 'I am Vongola Decimo, and there is nothing I can do! Hahaha!' The sentence rings again and again in his head. He considered it as cool, but most people might think it was an evil laugh that Sawada Tsunayoshi laughed.
"As I thought, the Decimo is still fragile." Light engulfed Tsuna at the time the voice spoke. The source of the sound was no other than his ring. A flame came out from his ring and it slowly changed its form into a human, a human that resembles Vongola Primo.
"You don't have to save the one of them. Let them die, because it's not fair for the person who died in this battle. Whether it's friend or foe, we need to play fair." The spiky blonde ghost spoke in such manner but he is actually being confused himself. Why would Decimo save that girl?
"I'm sorry to inform you this. But Decimo, congratulations on saving a doll made of marshmallows." The ghost gave Tsuna a round of applause before continuing, "You might not be aware of this, but you just traded one of your friends life with a bunch of marshmallows."
Tsuna got confused the time Primo mentioned a doll made of marshmallows. Upon taking closer look, it really looks like Kyoko, but Kyoko couldn't be boneless.
The time he noticed, it's already too late for him. His theory about his monochrome world is ruined. He didn't get only two choices, but he also got a chance to think thoroughly about this thing before deciding. The only thing he regrets now is being stupid.
To trade one of his friends life for a mere doll or a marshmallow.
Tsuna clenched his teeth and by the time Byakuran smiled and act all innocent, Tsuna already made his mind. "Byakuran, I don't know if you're a genius or a madman…." Tsuna lit his gloves fiercely, "I'm certain that you're in my first 'I want to kill' list!" His flames slowly changed into a pair of wings made of sky flames. The wings sprouted from his back and there he is, the vengeance seeking Tsuna.
"I… WILL… KILL… YOU… BYAKURAN…"
Those words sent a shiver to the marshmallow guy, because the Decimo in this time never killed a person before. Maybe once or twice, but the Decimo in this time killed because he has no other choice.
The Decimo is going to kill someone with his own will this time. He will kill someone with his own hands and his handmade wings. It's very different from the future Tsuna, because killing is against his policy about his kindness and justice. "Let's test that resolve, shall we?" and in a blink of an eye, Byakuran wings sprouted from his back.
All of them looked at Byakuran with so much shock, except for Tsuna who already knows it because of his hyper intuition and at the time they saw Byakuran's pure white wings, Kyoko came to the stage of the show with such amazement that she can't imagine, even the author can't imagine it.
"Sugoi!" That's what came out from her mouth the first time she made her way to the stage. Hearing her angelic voice, Tsuna and especially the boxer quickly turned their heads to the source of the voice. "Kyoko, you're safe!" The boxer hugged his little sister with his manly tears and so, Tsuna is relieved but still, that monster took one of his friend life without his permission.
"Hahahaha! Look what have you done there, Kyoko-chan!" Tsuna turned his head to the source of the voice and he found the marshmallow guy laughing an evil laugh or so it seems… "You ruined my surprise!"
Tsuna's imaginations about Byakuran's laugh has been ruined. The thing he imagined would be like this, 'Hahaha! Look what have you done, Kyoko-chan! You just killed your best friend!' That's what he thought until he voiced his words.
"Gomenasai, Byakuran-san!" And so, the previous calm storm guardian became furious in a count of seconds, "What are you apologizing for, Stupid Woman?!" Kyoko's golden eyes met with the storm guardian eyes of fury. Kyoko know what that eyes means, so she bowed to apologize again and the intense battle continued, even though it's not that intense.
Byakuran's glare became more intense when he met Tsuna's angry orange eyes. He unleashed his white dragon that killed Haru and nothing came up. He tried to summon it again and again, but nothing came up. He tried to summon it in a more stylish way and still, nothing came up.
He checked his box and he found out that the box is unusable forever and ever, sadly ever after. He gritted his teeth and moved at an extreme phase until he arrived in front of Tsuna, ready to punch him.
The enraged Decimo dodged it like it was nothing and countered it with his own punch, tossing Byakuran to the ground. He smirked an evil smirk, making Reborn grow more intense as time passed. Seeing his useless student smirked a perfect evil smirk is making Reborn proud, because a normal Tsuna could never smirked like that, a perfect mafia evil smirk.
Byakuran quickly stood on the ground and by the time he stood, Tsuna has already finished his X-Burner charging and he is ready to launch it to him.
Without second thought, Tsuna unleashed it to Byakuran and a 'Boom!' sound could be heard by a certain someone who is eating his ramen right now.
The smoke covered the whole area due to the explosion that the X-Burner caused and because of that, someone was thrown away from the battlefield, and that someone is Haru. Haru's fingers twitched after landing first on her back.
Seeing this, Reborn immediately took control and ordered some people to do the job they were directed to do. "Ryouhei, use your sun flames to heal her small wounds, I'll do something with the severe wounds, and also, Yamamoto and Gokudera, please help Tsuna if necesarry."
"Okay, we got you covered."
"You can leave Juudaime in my hands!"
"EXTREME HEALING!"
As times passed, the smoke was gone from their sight and the only thing they see is Byakuran and their Boss, who is beginning to grow insane.
Like a dog and a cat, Tsuna doesn't like the view he got. A cat being trapped by a small dog is a very ironic thing, but that applied for the situation where Tsuna is in right now.
Byakuran flew from his standing place and launched another attack, but the Decimo dodged it again, this time with an evil grin. Slowly, Byakuran became angry and changed his fake wings into his real wings that had a color of black and a little white because of his marshmallow. Byakuran's real wings are pretty scary, but not as scary as their boss right now. That's what the Bomber thought about his boss right now.
Tsuna slowly laughed and it became an insane laugh that sends shiver to his two guardians. His wings slowly changed color from the previously orange ones, into a dark colored orange. All of his flames slowly changed color to a dark orange color and finally, the flames enveloped his body.
"Juudaime, you don't need to do this!" One of his guardians shouted this and the other joined too, "Tsuna, Haru is still alive, you don't need to kill this monster!"
"Hear that, Tsunayoshi-kun? Your friend is pleading for you to stop. Hahahaha!" Byakuran smiled an evil smile and taunted Tsuna to stop, but the Decimo only replied coldly to the three of them. The one who is very shocked is Byakuran, the marshmallow eating guy.
"Don't tell me to stop. It's no use. He already made his choice and he followed this choice." Tsuna is never this terrifying before, not in years and not in a hundred years. "What do you mean by 'he'?" Yamamoto asked with so much concern, because Tsuna is never this weird in his life.
"The 'he' I'm referring to is Sawada Tsunayoshi." Gokudera mouth created a gape and with a little braveness, he asked again to the person he is seeing right now, "Then who are you?"
'Tsuna' laughed an evil laugh before answering Gokudera's question with horrific aura surrounding him, "Do you want to know who I am, Gokudera-kun?" He stopped momentarily before continuing his words, "I'm the Vongola Decimo, his heart darkness, Sawada Tsunayoshi's darkness."
Is it true? Is this Tsuna's Dark Side? Is this his real Mafia Self? It's really different from the usual scaredy-cat and also useless Tsuna.
"Is it true?" It's like a bad dream when he answered with a simple nod. "Don't lie to me." All of their heads turned to the Arcobaleno, "Tsuna will never…." Reborn stopped momentarily and all of them gulped, including Byakuran, "Tsuna will never laugh like that and most of all, he can't pull that smirk."
All of them were stunned seeing the Arcobaleno. All eyes stared at him with an intense look. It's not because the Arcobaleno was true, it is because the statement sounded so stupid. Everyone can smirk, everyone can laugh their evil laugh, and everyone can be evil as they wish.
"Are you an idiot, Reborn?" The previously stunned Decimo asked Reborn with an unbelievable feeling and face. "Don't you mess with me, Dame-Tsuna." This time, his eyes were covered by his fedora and he changed his Leon into a gun.
Seeing this, the Decimo smirked and taunted reborn to shoot him with his little gun. Reborn pulled the trigger when he was about to say a word, and the bullet quickly made its way to the Decimo.
Everyone mouth created a gap when they see what Tsuna done to the bullet. The bullet melted when it was only a few inches before it reached Tsuna.
The Decimo looked amused when they saw the thing Tsuna did to the bullet. He melted the greatest hitman's bullet. "Come, amuse me even more."
Hearing that, Gokudera can't help but to feel irritated by his boss behavior. That monster is not his boss who is kind towards the others and his boss doesn't have this malicious aura that surrounded him. "Gomenasai, Juudaime! I have to do this to bring you back!" Gokudera opened his box and shot Tsuna with his most powerful Flame Thunder, followed by the others who opened their Vongola Boxes.
They launched their deadly attack, but it won't reach Tsuna no matter how strong their attack was. "Is that all? How disappointing… Guess I have to teach you how to amuse people." Flames began to gather in front of Tsuna, changing its shape into a giant blob of flames. "This is the way you amuse people." He unleashed the flames and in a blink of an eye, it crashed into the guardians place.
The sky slowly got enveloped by dark clouds and in a minute, it began to rain. The pouring rain made their vision go worse than before. First, there are smokes covering the area, and now, it's raining. Things can't get any better.
After the smoke subsided, the guardians shadow could be seen from Tsuna's place and they were okay. Not a single scratch got left by that huge explosion. Well, it made a big crater though. The only thing Tsuna could see is the guardians and a broken box.
"How could you block it?" He asked with a menacing aura that surrounded him, making the all of them to back away from their standing place. "It's simple," This time, it's the skylark who answered Tsuna's question, "I blocked it with my Vongola Box."
The Decimo begin to feel amused by his guardians performance and without any thought, he moved with a speed of light and appeared in front of his guardians. "Interesting." He launched a massive amount of flame into his guardians direction and the guardians were knocked out in a count of seconds.
Bianchi got enraged and threw some of her poison cooking into Tsuna's direction, but it melted the way Reborn's bullet and the guardians attack. "It's no use." Said the Decimo who smirked by the end of his words.
"Stop it!" A voice broke the intense atmosphere and the source of the voice is Haru herself. "Why, Tsuna-san? Why did you do this? You're the kindest person I met, but now…." She clenched her fist and continued her words, "You need to stop this right now!"
"Hehe…" a small laugh broke free from Tsuna's mouth and it became an insane laugh that send chills to all of them, including Haru and Reborn. "Tsuna-san…?" an evil laugh broke free and seeing Tsuna's flames grew wilder made the all of them to tremble in fear and finally he answered, "I wonder who is this 'Tsuna-san' you are calling….."
"What do you mean?" Haru asked as disbelief painted her face and Tsuna's flames shrink the time he is going to answer and finally, his wings are gone and Tsuna turned back into himself. "Haru? Haru! I'm happy to see that you're still alive!"
"So am I, Tsuna-san! But that's weird, because Haru saw you becoming evil.." Even though with her injury, Haru gave a bright smile to Tsuna.
For someone who got a serious injury to smile like that is weird. What is she planning? Maybe, world domination?
And before Tsuna had finished his thought, Haru had fell in front of him, resulting the Vongola Famiglia to worry about her more. "Haru!"
Tsuna caught Haru and let her to rest for a while. Tsuna looked to his surroundings and the only thing he saw is Byakuran and a barren land. Where's the building?
"Hahaha! Tsunayoshi-kun, you must be surprised by this view right?" Tsuna nodded, "This view… is your masterpiece for destruction." Tsuna tilted his head in confusion after hearing Byakuran's point of view. Tsuna? The destroyer? Nah, it is not true, because he knew that he is not capable of destroying things, especially an entire place.
A small sound came from his back, but he ignored it because it's not very important. The important thing now is defeating Byakuran. That's what he thought before hearing another similar evil laugh from his back. The evil laugh is the same with the one he dreamed about and before he knew it, someone shot a bullet through his shoulder from his back.
He looked around and no anomaly could be found, but when he turned to his back, he could see a gun being enveloped by a dark aura and a girl with a pair of black wings.
Byakuran awed in surprise and revealed his greatest secret, "You have black wings? I got a pair, but mine could be washed so the color will change." All of the guardian's mouth created a gap, excluding Hibari. 'In other words, it's a fake.' That's what Gokudera thought after hearing such honest statement from their greatest enemies.
The girl turned her head to face Tsuna and with an EXTREME smirk she said a sentence that would make Tsuna to have bad dreams every night starting from today.
"I came for you, Sawada Tsunayoshi." Her guns slowly changed form into a pair of scythe and she spreads her wings, "I'm the agent of death, the one who will take your life…" She ended it with her EXTREME smirk.
"Juudaime…. Is this real…?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"What the-?"
"How could she move like that?"
"Hahahaha!"
"DIE!"
"This is not the Choice anymore, this is a life or death battle."
