Penny: I did this in a day so it's short and also I took out a big scene that I was going to add but decided against. I added a poll for this story so vote on it. It will close sometime during the time the Varia show up but I will give a specific date when we get there. Also, my amazing friend WOLF looked this over for me again and I'm still sick so somethings might not make sense but if you pm or review I will clarify. Lastly I will be updating in the middle of January.


'What is she doing here?' Hiro thought as he slowly got in front of Tsuna.

"Now Hiro-kun, is that any way to talk to your mother?" Nana said in a sickly sweet voice that sent shivers up everyone's spine.

It took a minute for the people who never met Nana, to realize that she was Hiro's and Tsuna's mother. When they finally realized that they looked at the people who knew Nana to gauge their reactions. None of their reactions being anything positive, even Takeshi's.

"For disturbing the peace, I'll bite you to death," Kyoya said as he was about to attack Nana, but was stopped by a shaking hand on his arm.

"Not now, Kyoya-nii," Tsuna said softly with his bangs shadowing his eyes. Everyone could tell he was trying to hold in his tears as his whole body was shaking with the effort. Kyoya putting his tonfas away for he didn't want to upset Tsuna more then he already was.

"Still being so sweet Tsunayoshi," and with that everyone was on alert from the way she said Tsunayoshi, it was so wicked and scary.

"M-Nana, what are you doing here?" Tsuna asked still keeping his bangs covering his eyes.

"Can't I come to say happy birthday, to one of my sons," Nana stated instead of asked, but Hiro answered anyways.

"Not when you don't have a son here."

"Now Hiro-kun, you shouldn't be so harsh to your mother," Nana replied.

"You are no mother of mine or Tuna's," Hiro bit back harshly.

"Nana, why are you really here?" asked Tsuna, wanting to get away from this Nana as soon as possible; he didn't need his intuition to tell him she was there for a dangerous reason and he wouldn't like the reason at all.

"Besides saying happy birthday, I need to talk to you two, alone-"

"No way, you will leave now," Hiro said interrupting Nana.

"Aniki, we should hear her out," said Tsuna softly, making Nana smirk and everyone look at him surprised.

"But, Tuna," Hiro began to say.

"No, Aniki, we need to do it someday, it might as well be today," Tsuna said, his intuition telling him Nana wouldn't stop till she got to talk with the two of them.

"Tuna-Fish, I don't think that is a good idea," Takeshi said worried about the brothers, especially Tsuna for he didn't know how to defend himself unlike Hiro. Hiro had been fighting Kyoya for years and has one more win then the prefect when you looked at wins and losses between the two. He has gotten stronger from the kid's training too; he needed no help. But Tsuna, he was sick and couldn't take stress and Nana was a huge stress to Tsuna. Also, Tsuna didn't have any fighting experiences that he knew of.

"We will be fine. Stay here and play some games, and we will be back soon," said Tsuna as he took Hiro by the hand with little protest from the blond, and started walking to the back yard, Nana following behind.

While the family of three was talking in the backyard everyone was told what Nana did when Tsuna first got sick and how she had been before and after that by Takeshi. By the end, everyone wanted to kill Nana even the people who already knew got more angrier at Nana then they already were; Tsuna didn't deserve what he got from Nana. While Reborn started to think about how he could find out what Nana was doing when she wasn't at the house.

It was a few minutes after Takeshi finished the explanation that the three came back inside; Tsuna with tear stains on his cheeks, Hiro with a glare at Nana and leaking a good amount of KI, while Nana was with a smirk that showed that she was satisfied about something.

"What did you do to Mama to make him cry?!" yelled Lambo when he saw Tsuna with tear stained cheeks. He got up from where he was seated at the table and ran at Nana, so he could hit her, I-pin right behind him wanting to get back at the mean lady.

Nana hearing a brat call Tsuna, Mama, pissed her off. When the cow brat was within reach she swung her leg back and was about to kick him and send him into the brat behind him, when her leg was caught by Hiro.

"Leave woman," Hiro said while in boss mode as Lambo tried to hit Nana's other leg so she would fall and with I-pin going to help him out, but both were caught by Tsuna and held in a hug before they could even touch Nana.

"It's fine, she just told us some things," Tsuna said trying to calm down Lambo and I-pin. While Hiro used Nana's leg to pull her out of the kitchen and push her towards the door, making her stumble in the process.

"Things we already knew and something we always expected from her," said Hiro elaborating Tsuna's words but not saying what she told them, as he walked back into the kitchen when he saw Nana get out of the house.

"Enough of this, let's just forget about her and enjoy the rest of the day," Tsuna said before anyone could ask what she told them.

No one protested as Tsuna gave them a pleading look and by the end of the day Nana was at the back of their minds for they were have fun celebrating Tsuna's birthday, all except Hiro.

That night Hiro was devising a plan for revenge on Nana, for she had made his Ototo cry which he wasn't going to accept nor her mistakes. She would get what's coming to her for all she has done; all her mistakes that she made and knew where wrong. But he had to make sure that Tsuna wouldn't know or be a part of it. His baby brother wouldn't be able to comprehend something like this; something like revenge.

(::)(::)(::)

'Why did she have to do something like that?' thought Tsuna as he rested on the couch having gone all out doing his spring cleaning. Not like he didn't already keep the house clean but now everything sparkled with cleanness. He was home alone because everyone was out doing something, so they didn't get in Tsuna's way when he was in cleaning mode. All rationality was forgotten to Tsuna when he focused on cleaning.

Tsuna had been thinking about Nana ever since his birthday which was few months ago. He knew he was worrying Hiro because he had confronted Tsuna many times but Hiro didn't find out what was bothering him and Tsuna couldn't help it. This Nana was so different from the one he was use to and he really missed all the hugs and words she said. She may have been oblivious and naive but she was a great mother who cared about him and loved Iemitsu even though he was always gone. But now, this Nana didn't act sweet, or care about him not even Hiro or Iemitsu.

Tsuna had tried to find out what he could have done so that Nana would have been a great mother in this world too. But the more he thought about all the differences he had made he couldn't find the main turning point. He always noticed how she would be a little jealous of him but that wouldn't have affected her love for Iemitsu or being a mother to Hiro. So what really made her change?

He thought he could change her after parents day for that was when she started to make a lot of mistakes. He tried make her see what she was doing was wrong, but she went and did something that made it impossible for him to try and change her now. He wanted her back but he knew that she was lost to him, to Hiro, and to Iemitsu forever.

Thoughts of Nana started to change his thoughts of the other world, which always made Tsuna a little sad but also guilty. Sad that he couldn't be with the people he had so many adventures with and who have stood by him through all the mafia disasters. And guilty, because he loved this world more than his own; he didn't have to be Decimo for Vongola, and he knew that his brother would make a great boss. He might not be as benevolent as Tsuna, but he was a leader and he could deal with the dark side of the mafia. Something that Tsuna always had a hard time dealing with. All the people he knew where having better lives and they were different in mostly good ways.

Hayato finally called him by name, and now Hiro was doing something he never could in his younger years; he was already getting Hayato to not be so over protective and to stay calm instead of always exploding on someone. It wasn't like he got as far as Tsuna did with the other world Hayato, but that would change with the years to come and it wasn't till Hayato was older that Tsuna started to make a bigger difference.

Takeshi always had and would have Hiro as a friend. Also, he never pushed this Takeshi to the edge like he did for the other world Takeshi.

Ryohei, while not such a big part of the family yet, Tsuna knew that the boy would be just as an amazing sun guardian for Hiro as he was for him.

Kyoko, he knew had a crush on his brother but he didn't know what she would do when she found out that his brother didn't like her back. He feared for his brother. The Kyoko in his world could be dangerous when angered. Not in major dangerous but as a person who could annoy you and make some dangerous situations happen. Also, she would stay innocent unlike when he selfishly got her into the mafia. Now she could be a civilian and the closest she would get to the mafia is being the younger sister of Ryohei.

Dino, he was glad to say didn't act clumsy in front of him anymore. The same thing happened in his world but that was after the man fully accepted him as his little brother who he had to protect and that took some time. Before that he couldn't even stay on his feet most of the time unless he was with his men. But already he started doing it for other people besides Tsuna in this world. He wasn't rid of his clumsiness in front of other people besides Tsuna but he was way better.

Fuuta helped everyone just like in his world and Tsuna could see why his Nana loved having Fuuta around. The kid was a big help in the kitchen now that the amount of people coming over to eat have grown.

Haru was progressing faster in becoming a member of the mafia, which is a good thing. Since she would need to start learning earlier, but it was sad, that she wasn't going to be innocent for as long.

But Lambo and I-pin, constantly reminded him of the biggest difference between this world and his world. Mama. He was called Mama, Reborn always did it to get a little revenge on Tsuna for taking his guns and treating him like a kid but Tsuna was happy that the kids treated him like such and he was mentally old enough to be a parent. So he wasn't as annoyed with the name as some people would have been.

Reborn was so much nicer to Hiro. Hiro unlike Tsuna accepted his role and absorbed everything Reborn said and taught him while Tsuna had tried to run and screamed HIE all day. Reborn still was a sadistic tutor but not as much as he was for Tsuna.

Tsuna had developed good relationship with Reborn in the other world after he decided he would take up his role of Decimo. It must have taken a huge weight of the hit man for someone who kept refusing his role to finally accept it like Tsuna did; after Tsuna accepted his role as Decimo Reborn was nicer to him, not by much but still nicer. While Hiro accepting it once he was told made the relationship between Reborn and Hiro better than it had been for Tsuna. But now for Tsuna, he was comfortable with the hit man and it was calming, not one of them was being at the others mercy and he understood the hit man more making it so he knew his boundaries.

His relationship with Iemitsu was so much better in this world, but that was because he understood why he wasn't there and didn't hate the man. Tsuna was proud and happy to know that unlike most mafia members, his father stayed married and tried to get to his family as many times as possible in the other world and this world. Tsuna was happy that this time instead of acting like a brat and hating his father, he was thankful to him and made sure that he let Iemitsu know that as often as he could in the other world but now told this Iemitsu he loved him after all the phone calls the man had made; something Tsuna suspects the man would have done with him in the other world if he had wanted to listen to Iemitsu in the first place.

Differences; there was so many differences between this world and his world. But he still loved this world more than the other one. He wasn't going to stay out of the mafia like he wanted to but he wasn't going to have to be the boss for the most powerful mafia famiglia. Also, he was going to stay out of the mafia for a little longer this time but, he knew that he had to go back into that world even though he didn't want to.

Already he kept Hiro in line enough so he wouldn't be the main bad guy who would want to destroy the world but by coming to this world, he has made a new enemy for Vongola and for himself.

To go against this enemy he knew that he would have to get stronger then he was in the last world. But he couldn't train like he used to. Stress was something his body couldn't take in this world and because of that he knew he couldn't be the main person to fight. All this showed him that that man was really a genius by making his body this way.

He still wouldn't change what he agreed to do with that man or Byakuran. But he was going to only participate in a few fights and they would be far in between. Also, he need for his brother and his guardians to be ready and to do that, he had to let them do all the fighting and get experience. That didn't mean he wouldn't help out when he could.

Tsuna sighed, for thinking about his old world only left him sad, as he could never go back to his world because it was…

"TUNA~CHAN~!" yelled a happy voice.

Tsuna bolted up on the couch and ran towards the door. There was only one person in all the dimensions that would call him like that.

"Byakuran!" yelled Tsuna as he tackled the boy to the ground once the door was opened.

"Tuna-chan, c-c-can't bre-ath," said Byakuran as he was hugged/strangled by Tsuna, trying to breath but wasn't getting any air into his lungs.

Tsuna loosened the hug a little so the boy could breathe but he still hugged him tight and had his face buried into his shirt, clutching the back of his shirt like it was a life line.

Byakuran let Tsuna stay in this position for what seemed like forever. The boy had been alone for ten years and he only talked with someone who knew his situation once and he wasn't really someone who could understand Tsuna. He didn't even mind that his shirt was beginning to feel like he went swimming. He just let Tsuna let it out.

Even when Tsuna stopped crying he didn't stop hugging Byakuran or move an inch. Once Byakuran thought that it was time to move he started to stand up keeping Tsuna in his arms.

"Tuna-chan, let's go for a walk and chat," Byakuran said holding Tsuna by the hand as he started to pull him towards the sidewalk but Tsuna stopped him.

"I'm going to leave Aniki a note saying I'll be back soon," Tsuna said as he ran into the house to write the note and placed it on the kitchen table before he pulled his shoes on and joined Byakuran in record time.

"Now we can go," Tsuna said as he joined his arm with Byakuran's.

The two walked to a park and walked around the lake, both enjoying each others presence.

Byakuran was the one who broke silence.

"Tuna-chan, I heard about the Vindice having a break out."

"I knew he would get out soon," said Tsuna with a small smile as he thought about his past mist guardian.

"What are you planning to do about him?"

"I need him to fight Aniki so he gets the experience and Mukuro needs to see a good part of the mafia. Also, you know that guy is watching and with this body I can't do anything yet."

"You shouldn't be doing anything with this body. You already push it beyond its limit."

"Even in another world I still kept my high tolerance to pain."

"I know that's not the only thing you kept from the other world," said Byakuran.

"Yes but I can't use the rest except my intuition because of this body. I'm not going to be a part of Vongola, but I will help the people who will need it, especially when the war starts."

"Tuna-chan, you don't have to think that far ahead. Right now we are enjoying this peace before little Mist-chan comes here."

"Yeah, but, after him it will all move so fast till finally the enemies will let their true colors shine. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't prepare for when it starts."

"This is unusual of you; to try and prepare for something that is so far away when you have other enemies coming before them."

"They are the ones that will be the most destructive. Instead of just affecting us they will affect the entire mafia world and a good portion of the civilian world. Preparations need to be made so that we can stop most of the destruction that will come."

"Tsuna," Byakuran said in a rarely seen serious tone, "you aren't the person who will be dealing with the enemy, that's up to Hiro and the Vongola."

"I will help them as much as I can; they are my family and my friends. Even if I am no longer their sky I don't want to see them bloody their hands… unlike my guardians did. They are more prepared but they don't know the enemy like we do."

"… You've become attached to them all, just like your original family. Haven't you?"

"Yes."

After that there was a short silence before they made small talk never once mentioning the mafia. By the time they started walking back to Tsuna's house the sun was starting to set.

"I better go before Aniki gets worried about me," said Tsuna reluctantly for he wanted to stay with Byakuran longer.

"I'll see you as soon as I can, but I have to get the Millefiore started so it will be ready to help you when they make their move," Byakuran said sadly since he won't see his friend that he has known longer than anyone else for a while.

"I wish you luck," said Tsuna as he started to head up the sidewalk on his street while a limo came up behind Byakuran to take him to the secret base he made in Japan based off what Tsuna had did in his world.

"Tuna-chan," said Byakuran getting Tsuna's attention, "try to stay safe."

"Don't I always?"

"You could try harder to stay safe, but this would probably help you do that," Byakuran said as he threw Tsuna an A-ranked sky ring and an orange box weapon, that looked exactly like his did except it didn't have all the dents and scratches that his had acquired in his old world.

"You already have Shoichi working for you?" Tsuna asked.

"Yup, he already made everyone a box weapon for Hiro and his guardians too."

"What is Aniki getting?"

"That's a surprise."

Tsuna just laughed before he promised he would try harder to then he usually did to stay out of trouble and thanks him for the ring and for Natsu. Even though this Natsu isn't his he still will love this one just as much as the other one, already he was thinking about when he would open the box and how to keep it a secret from everyone.

With that Tsuna went home ready to make his family a late dinner, as he knew that they didn't eat unless he cooked, because they couldn't cook anything themselves.

But when Tsuna walked he had his back straight and looked like he was ready for anything, eyes the same determination in them when he first woke up from his first collapse.

Everyone noticed when he walked in that he was different; for once he wasn't having that sad vibe he gave off after Nana visited. When they saw his eyes they knew that they had nothing to worry about for their Tsuna was back and stronger than ever. Ready to protect them all with everything he had but they didn't know that or what was coming up.
