Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN

Chapter 28: 2 years later

2 years later...

"Oi! Ilario! Stop running around!" Ienari yelled. "You'll destroy the building again! Reiya! Zen!"

It's been two years after the incident crisis. Everyone was grieving, when Iemitsu died. Without knowing anything, he left without even saying goodbye. "Father..." Ienari wept. His mother, Nana, wept beside him. "It's fine, Ienari. It's fine. It's not your fault." Since that day, Ienari vowed that he won't let anyone die ever again. He would become strong. Strong enough to protect the people around him.

When Ienari returned to his office, he paled when he saw the clear sparkly desk was once again buried by the paperwork. "Not again..." he sighed. "Reborn!" "Oh, these are from Lexi and Seira's most recent missions." said Reborn, calmly trotting into the office.

Murasaki and Ilario knocked on the door and walked in. "Decimo..." they began. "What is it?" said Ienari. "There is someone here to see you." Murasaki paled. "Who?" said Ienari. "About twenty of them." Ilario paled. "And it's getting out of hand."

"Who are they?" said Reborn. "They're from Namimori." Ilario paled. Ienari sighed. "What did they come here for? All the way in Italy? Seriously." Ienari pulled on his coat and walked out of the office. "Where are they?"

"In the lounge." replied Murasaki. Ienari nodded, and went off. Ilario and Murasaki collapsed on the couch. "I can't take this anymore..." muttered Ilario. "It's the same routine everyday..."

"Okay guys! Freeze!" Ienari yelled. Keiichi stood. "You're finally here!" he exclaimed. "Why are you here?" scowled Ienari. "This is a mafia's backyard, don't you know? You might get killed one day. Go back to Japan!"

"Yeah right. You don't look like one." smirked Osamu. "What are you people here for?" demanded Ienari. "If there isn't, go back!" Keiichi pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Here." "What is this?" Ienari glanced at the picture. It was a man who escaped his verdict 2 years ago. Kasane Igarashi.

"We heard you were looking for this guy." said Sayaka. "We were." sighed Ienari. "He's responsible for my family's death." "He's in Japan?" Zen sighed. "We came back for nothing." said Seira. "Don't be so sure," said Ienari. "Reiya. Go and investigate."

"Sure," said Reiya. "I'll bring Seira along, if you don't mind." Ienari scowled. "Just stop destroying things!" Reiya and Seira laughed. "Finally!" said Murasaki. "We have a lead." Ienari nodded.

"We decided to help." said Keiichi. He took out his badge. "Special Investigation Unit." Ienari sighed. "You should do what you wanted." "I want Japan to be peaceful." said Keiichi. "I won't be like that little kid back then, unable to even stop your brother."

"Yeah..." Ienari glanced at the photos in the hallway. There were two different Guardians in the place for Vongola Decimo. Two different teams. One was led by Ienari. The other, of course, was led by the first Vongola Decimo, Tsunayoshi.

"He's the best brother I had ever had," tears began to well up. "Don't worry, Ienari. Tsuna isn't dead, right? It'll be fine." said Keiichi. Ienari nodded. "We'll get Kasane behind the bars. Definitely."

"This is bad! My Lord!" the slender man yelled. He stopped at the entrance of the throne room. "What's the matter?" said the Lord. "They're finally taking action!" said Kasane hurriedly. "Who?" asked the Lord. "The Vongola Family!" replied Kasane.

"The Vongola Family?" a gentle voice sounded in the hallway. The Lord rose from his elegant chair. "Why are you here?" "I just felt like walking around." the gentle voice replied. "If they found you, there's nowhere you can hide." said the Lord. "They can't enter the vampire realm!" retorted Kasane.

"Oh, sorry to disappoint you, Kasane." said the gently voice. "There is someone who could open the door in the mortal realm. Just serve your verdict. You should pay for your sins."

Kasane glared. "Isn't thanks to me you're here, Sawada Tsunayoshi?!" "Do you think I'll forgive everything you've done?" said Tsunayoshi. "Ridiculous." The Lord smirked. "There are laws everywhere in the world. If you're human, obey human laws." He kicked Kasane out of the vampire realm.

"My Lord!" Kasane protested, but it was futile. He landed in Namimori, Japan. And he was caught on action by Reiya and Seira, who were sent to Japan by Ienari. "It was a fool of you to sit in the middle of the road with a hundred thousand yen on your head." said Seira.

"They betrayed me!" yelled Kasane. "Who did?" said Lexi, raising an eyebrow. "The Devil King!" said Kasane. "Saying I should pay for my sins, obeying stupid laws." "That serves you right," smirked Lexi. "Get up!" Seira pulled Kasane. "We're going to Italy."

Kasane paled. "Why?! Aren't we going to the station?" "Do you think we're stupid? We won't hand people like you to normal jail. You're going to Vendice. And that's after Ienari had enough of you." said Lexi.

They were on the plane to Italy for six hours. Every time Kasane tried to escape, Reiya and Seira would catch him. There is no way out. In just a few hours, he is going to face the Vongola Decimo.

Time dragged on, until they had reached the Vongola Mansion. Kasane paled when he saw Ienari. "Ah...Decimo..." Ienari smiled ever so sweetly. "Kasane Igarashi." "Come in, please." Seira and Reiya dragged Kasane into the Sky office.

"Just let me say this first, escaping is futile." said Ienari. "I guess even the Devil Lord doesn't care if you commit suicide." "Isn't it your brother's fault? He influenced the Lord!" said Kasane. "Oh?" Ienari raised an eyebrow. "Tell me everything."

"He told me I should just serve a fifty year verdict. Humans should obey human laws." said Kasane. "Those words, I know when I see one. The Lord has been influenced!" "I have not." the Devil Lord's face appeared in the fireplace. "Why are you here?" said Ienari.

"I never ordered to kill anyone. Those murders, was Kasane's own actions, influenced by Argent Ace." said the Lord. "If he should serve a verdict for a lifetime, he should. Even if he's thrown into the Vendice." "Why are you helping me? Aren't you wary I might kill you?" said Ienari.

"This is Tsunayoshi's suggestion. Fifty years of verdict." said the Lord. "Tsunayoshi?" Ienari blinked. "Ah, of course. He was Namimori greatest High Inspector." "If you're wondering, he's fine. So don't bother coming." the image vanished.

Ienari glared at the fireplace. "Then don't appear as you like!" Seira and Reiya sighed. Ienari still can't let go of his brother. "You both, chuck him into the Vendice. Tell them to chuck him into the lowest level." said Ienari.

"Ienari! Stop him!" Zen crashed into the wall, banging into the office. "What are you doing?!" Ienari yelled. "Well..." began Ilario. "Stop. I don't wanna hear it." Ienari paled. "Just go do your freakin missions!"

"Ienari changed drastically since then." smirked Reborn. "Whose fault was that?" said Murasaki. "It isn't mine alone." said Reborn. "His craving to protect those precious to him drove him to become stronger."

"Mama!" a child around seven years ran down the grand hallways. "What are you doing, Min Ri?" sighed the Devil Lord. "Why are you here?" "Papa!" the child smiled brightly. "I was looking for something. Mama said he left something precious behind. Mama wouldn't tell me, so I came to find it!"

Taka sighed. "Mama's precious thing isn't here, Min Ri." Min Ri looked at his father. "Then where is it?" "It's somewhere far far away, Min Ri. Mama always misses him, that's why." replied Taka.

Min Ri's Mama walked towards them. Taka smiled. "Where did you go, Tsunayoshi?" Tsunayoshi picked up Min Ri. "It isn't a problem, isn't it?" Taka sighed. "You should be resting." "I'm fine, right, Min Ri?" smiled Tsuna. Min Ri smiled brightly. "Yep!"

"I heard the Vongola is getting stronger by day." said Ace. "Ienari has the talent. He will survive." said Tsuna. "Without you, Vongola won't last." said Ace. "It has lasted several hundred years before I was even born." said Tsuna. "He will survive."

A picture dropped from Tsuna's pocket. "Who is that, Mama?" said Min Ri, glancing at the picture. "That's Mama's treasure far far away, Min Ri." Tsuna smiled. "He's your uncle, Min Ri." "You still carry that around?" Taka sighed.

"Can I see him?" said Min Ri. Taka and Tsuna blinked. "You want to see him?" Min Ri nodded. "Yep!" "He will come, Min Ri." said Taka. "One day, he will come." "Really?" Min Ri smiled brightly. "Yay!"

One year ago, the battle had just ended. Everything in the mortal world had just settled. The Devil King had what he wished, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Tsuna finally woke up that day. Just like he had anticipated, Tsunayoshi woke up on the day Vongola was reborn.

Taka was right beside Tsuna when he woke up. "Welcome back, Tsunayoshi." Tsuna glanced at the dark, and gloomy room. "This is my old room, isn't it?" "Of course." Ace walked in with a glass of blood in his hand. "Take your dinner." "Why are you giving me blood?" Tsuna glanced at the glass.

Suddenly, Tsuna's body froze. "Are you stupid? Did you lose your memory or something?" said Ace. "You should know your body better than anyone else. You're the Devil King Taka's partner. The partner of a vampire. You're going to live as a vampire, for life."

Tsuna held the glass in trembling hands. "As long as my brother's safe, I don't care." Taka smiled. "And that is the decision you gave me, long ago." Tsuna glanced at Taka with determined eyes. "Seems like you remembered." said Taka. "Come." Taka held out his hand. Tsuna gently took it.

Ace bowed as Taka carried Tsuna out of the room. "Don't follow me." said Taka. "Yes, sir." Ace bowed. Tsuna's Guardians were relieved, as well as shocked to see Taka carrying Tsuna. "Tsuna!" they called. They tried to follow him, but Ace stopped them. "Don't. It's finally the day, and you won't ruin it." "You forced him, didn't you?" growled Gokudera.

"Stop, Gokudera." said Yamamoto. "Why?! He's taking Tsuna away!" said Gokudera. "Tsuna is not going against him. Let's respect his wish." replied Yamamoto. The Guardians stood there, watching Tsuna and Taka disappearing from their sight. There is nothing they could do.

"What are you doing?" said Tsuna, glancing around the room. It wasn't much different from his own room, except that the wall were decorated in black and gold. "I told you, didn't I? Be prepared. You will carry the blood of a vampire. I'll taint your Vongola blood." said Taka.

He leaned in and kissed Tsuna. "Become mine, my dear Tsunayoshi, the one who I raised." "Do you think I could escape from this place? It was a mistake for me to even step in here twenty years ago." Tsuna's lips were being raped by Taka. "But now it's too late to regret." Taka continued kissing Tsuna. "This place, the environment changed my body, and bound me. This place has became my family." Tsuna wrapped his arms around Taka.

Taka smiled. "Come." Tsuna smiled. "I will." Taka took Tsuna into his embrace. All night, he would never let him go. Tsuna was his, and his alone. And Tsunayoshi would bear his child. The child born would be the union of the strongest vampire blood and the strongest mortal blood, the Vongola blood. Tsuna accepted his fate, and became Taka's life partner.
