Summary: Tsuna is confronted with the consequences of Future Decimo's choices. Will it confirm his own choices? A sequel of 'Contemplation of a Choice".
Hi everybody, this is chapter 14 of this story. Thank you to those who favourite and review the previous chapter. I hope you like this chapter.
"If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. If he has to make a choice, may he make it now. Then I will either wait for him or forget him."
Paulo Coelho (By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept)
Previous Chapter. Tsuna's Choice.
Tsuna was certain of that. He could see that in her eyes. And he pretty sure that his future self felt the same.
But, more importantly, his future self hated the fact that their marriage was tied to his hated position. And, Sawada Tsunayoshi was someone that prone to deniability in response to something he disliked.
Therefore, that was the root of the problem.
So, Tsuna could guess what happened in the future. He knows that it will likely become his future if he continued being in denial.
Tsuna turned back to his private office and looked above his shelf.
The first thing he needed to do to stop being in denial was to open that box.
Chapter 14. Lily Flower.
Present.
In the headquarters of Vongola, the air had been tense since Decimo came back from his vacation with two children with him. Fortunately, the members of Vongola could get a bit of peace for a few days. Though, it did not last long.
Due to their sensitivity with Dying Will Flames, they could feel that the air was starting to charge with it. The lower members of Vongola looked at each other with a similar thought.
"Who anger the Decimo?"
It not like Vongola Decimo was prone to anger. But, considering there was only two Sky Flames user in Vongola Headquarters, it was not that hard to tell them apart.
In response to their Leader's anger, the higher members of Vongola began to shout at their subordinates to tighten their security and to prepare themselves for any disturbance whether from within or outside.
Vongola Nono and his Guardians kept their guard up but did not involve themselves with whatever was going to happen.
On the other hand, the Decimo Guardians that were present in the building hurriedly began their trek to their Boss's room. Since that was where they felt the source of their Boss's Flame.
The three Guardians that were present arrived in front of the door almost at the same time. They looked at each other in hesitation.
One of them knocked on the door.
"Juudaime, are you all right?" The Storm Guardian asked worriedly.
There was no answer.
"We are entering in, Juudaime." The Storm Guardian said firmly.

A few minutes ago.
Kanna, the Anaconda di Nebbia, eyed the young Decimo curiously. He had been looking at something inside of his office determinedly. Then, he took a box from above his shelf and put it on his desk.
She looked away because it seemed like something private. But, a minute or two later. She snapped back to him in surprised, when she felt the air charge with familiar flames.
She drifted over to him slowly.
"Young Decimo?" She said hesitantly.
She found him huddled on the floor against his desk. He was looking at a letter in his hand with unfocused eyes.
"Young Decimo!" She called him alarmedly.
He did not answer.
She called him again several times, but he still did not budge.
It starting to scare her.
"Tsunayoshi!" She yelled desperately.
He blinked and it relieved her. Then, he looked at her with strange recognization and disbelief.
He opened his mouth hesitantly. "Y… Yu… Yuri…?"
His mouth trembled as if saying that name took all of his strength and looked at her desperately.
But, she did not understand why he was acting like this?
And his look of desperation began to change into despair.
{K~H~R}
A few minutes ago.
After Tsuna put on the box on his desk, he closed his eyes and opened the box. He knew that it was pathetic, but he could not help it.
He put his hand inside and felt around it. The first thing he felt was some strand of hairs. He lifted it and inspected how long it was. Then, he moved the braid of hairs to another hand and checked on the box again.
That when he felt a letter. He lifted the letter with trembling hand and put it on the desk. He put the braid of hairs back inside the box and closed it.
Then, finally, he opened his eyes and looked directly at where he put the letter.
He reached out to the letter and slowly opened it. And with trembling hands, he began to read it.
'To: Tsunayoshi
From: Byakka
Today you become one year older than last year. Hopefully, you also become more mature and wise. And I hope you become one step closer to your happiness. Always keep your smile and kindness with you then I am sure you will be all right.'
Tsuna sat on the floor with his eyes transfixed on the letter.
'Dear Tsunayoshi,
For start, I want to say, happy 16th birthdays, Tsunayoshi. I hope you stay healthy and safe. I am sorry that we parted in such a bad term, but I assure you, I am still your friend if you still want me as a friend.
I will always be your friend and support you from afar. I promise you that and I will keep it for as long as I can. But, I am afraid I can't stay in contact with you anymore because I want to stay away from the mafia.
The mafia isn't for me. I can't handle that much violence. So, I hope you will understand. That's also why this will be my last letter to you, Tsunayoshi. And please, don't be sad.
I have the best gift for you. I will let you go. I don't want to string you along in this doomed relationship. You deserve to be happy, and unfortunately, I couldn't give you that happiness. This is my gift to you.
Lastly, become a great boss, Tsunayoshi, and change the mafia for the better. You can do it, I know you can, I believe in you. Forget about me and find a woman you can trust and rely on, because, I will never be that woman. I wish you the best of luck. We both know how much you need that.
Good Bye, Tsunayoshi.
P.S. I moved out from Namimori, so don't bother to go look for me in there'
Tsuna did not know what happened to him after he read the letter, but the next thing he knew, he heard someone's voice calling for him. But, his head hurts so much that he did not have the strength to answer.
"Tsunayoshi!"
He snapped out of his head at his full first name.
There were only five people who called him with that name.
Mukuro, Byakuran, Shouichi, Nono and Yuri.
He looked at the person who called him and saw Kanna.
Kanna?
That was when he could feel something snap into place in his head.
"Y… Yu… Yuri…?" His mouth said hesitantly.
It had been years since the last time he said that name. But, when he looked at Kanna, he felt that it fit.
The clues had been there all this time, but he could not make sense of it until now.
Suiren and Suzuran. Both of them have flower names. Yuri likes flower names.
Kanna is an Anaconda. Yuri favourites animal.
Kanna means Lily in old Japanese. Yuri also means Lily.
Even though there was still some uncertain part, but Tsuna is certain. Kanna is Yuri.
But when Kanna continued looking at him in confusion, he could not help but despair.
Kanna is a Cervello. She did not remember being Yuri.
And without conscious thought, the questions left his mouth.
"Why did you decide to forget?" He heard himself said. "Why did you become Cervello?"
But, before he got any replied he heard the door slammed and someone else called for him.
"JUUDAIME."
I hope you enjoy this story. Please be kind to me and review it. Thank you for reading my fanfiction.
