A/N:
Last one. Hahaha. Thank you for all the reviews, favorites and follows. You guys are some.
Anyway, go on. Haha!
Epilogue
Tsuna blankly stared at Theodore, who is in charged of guarding him, before looking at his bare feet. Bare because when he struggled to get away, Osamu caught one of his shoes, so he used the other one to get a revenge on Haruko with a 'face meet shoe' throw. And it worked!
Right now, he's in a warehouse outside of Namimori, being guarded by five people who he didn't think he'll see again. Not that he's glad. He just didn't think about much of themfor two years. With all the war, rehabilitation and missions to do, of course he'll forget about their existence.
Tsuna scowled when he noticed that he can't see the sky from his position. Too much for being cautious.
He idly hummed, thinking how the others will find him. He did make his flame fluctuate, so they can feel within them that he's in trouble. He won't even stop them if they beat these people up. Not that he stopped caring, he just doesn't want to get involve. It's obviously a revenge for them, and he does not want any of it. As long as his guardians don't kill a single life (even though they did years ago), he's fine.
"Dame-Tsuna! We got one of your stupid guardians!" Satomi shouted rather gleefully as his steps approached.
Tsuna just stared as Osamu and Echizen drag an 'oh-so-familiar' curly noiret. Tsuna hid a smirk.
"He was alone, so we picked him up." The storm said nonchalantly as the cloud and mist dumped the dirty man in front of him.
"Huh. You and I have different meanings for the phrase pick up." Tsuna commented, earning an almost inaudible but hidden snicker from Theodore. "What an absurd vocabulary you have, Satomi. Considering you're an upcoming politician."
"That's how I work, Sawada."
"Really? No wonder you aren't winning any position yet." Tsuna smirked as the storm tried to land a punch on him, only to be stopped by an invisible layer of sky flames. "You're a pebble against us, Satomi. I'm not the Tsuna you've always thought. You expect I'll change? Foolish idea."
The storm growled. "If I can't pounce on you, I'll kill your guardians instead."
"Go ahead. So you can see yourself being defeated again by my right-hand man."
The Storm glared so hard before stomping away. Osamu apologized in a low voice before turning his back on them, while Echizen stayed a little longer before leaving. Tsuna nudged Lambo with his free foot. The noiret opened one eye before smiling at Tsuna, making Theodore gape at them.
"What were you doing alone?" Tsuna asked.
Lambo shrugged. "I thought you'll feel lonely, so I told them I'll let myself get captured."
If only the Decimo could face palm, he would. "There's a lot of wrong things in that one sentence, Lambo."
"What? Not that anyone can do it. You know I'm the weakest among us."
"You define weakest like that when you took down a whole famiglia just because they made you drop your candy while unwrapping it?" Tsuna asked in mock disbelief.
"They did do it! They even threatened me! So I took them out when they kidnapped me! Even Reborn praised me for it."
"Another reason why you're not the weakest among us, Lambo. Everyone of us has different flames. We're not expected to have the same techniques. Who knows, maybe my mantle is weaker than your shield, while my X burner is stronger than your Ironhorn. They're different but compliment us."
Lambo did a thinking pose as he laid there. "Yeah. You're right."
Tsuna sighed in mock resignation.
"Oi! Are you really following that stupid storm?" Lambo asked Theodore who blinked at them. "He doesn't even know how to kidnap an active flame user. He didn't even tie me up or Tsuna-nii's feet. That's just stupid. I mean you're a painter. You should be painting something right now out of inspiration."
"Uh..."
Lambo sighed. "Whatever. Idiots do stick together."
"You just called yourself an idiot." Tsuna pointed out.
Lambo smirked. "I did."
Both laughed at their own antics, making Theodore smile.
Tsuna stretched before staring at the gate in front of him.
Namimori Cemetery.
He looked behind him to see the others before opening the gates and going on ahead. He was holding a basket filled with some food offering for his Mom, a red rose and candles. Reborn actually helped him cook since Kyouya helped Takeshi with Chrome while Hayato, Lambo and Mukuro went for Ryohei since his sister is not with him.
They went for Takeshi's parents first. Tsuyoshi Yamamoto and Hikari Yamamoto. All of them payed respect, introduced themselves before leaving Takeshi there to talk. They went for the Sasagawa couples next. Shion Sasagawa and Hajime Sasagawa. Tsuna smiled as he listened to Ryohei babbled about them and introduced them with funny descriptions. Like they did to Takeshi, they left Ryohei be for privacy.
Tsuna walked steadily. It surprises him how he still knew the way even though he hadn't been there for eight years. Maybe because of the familiar feeling. It's not his hyper intuition too. It's just him and his brain working together. Then in a second, they're in front of Nana Sawada's tombstone.
Tsuna stared. He should've gone here two days ago, but he was kidnapped. He wasn't even out of the Hibari Mansion when he was taken. The next thing he knew he was being carried by Yeon on his back with the others surrounding him. So he did the best thing he could, fight for his freedom. With that also, he was able to create a pulse like signal to his guardians who were still in the mansion. He was rather amazed with Echizen's mist control. To be able to sneak in the Hibari mansion is really plausible.
In the end, Lambo and him were rescued by the rest, arrested Satomi for kidnapping, publicly announcing his schemes (thanks to Mukuro's illusion), and judged the others not guilty except for their compliance with Satomi. They did refuse saying anything bad about the storm, but Tsuna only smiled at them and let them go, saying good luck with their careers. He wasn't even surprised when the five of them cried, asking for his forgiveness. Confessing that they loved how he sent them off with a smile, words of parting and giving them open arms welcome whenever they come home to him. They confessed of how stupid they were to be manipulated by Satomi even though they have no grudge on Tsuna. To even risk Zian's life who never failed to love Tsuna as a family until his last breath.
Tsuna didn't hear from Satomi, but Mukuro told him what the storm had confessed. He was jealous of Tsuna's power to beckon others to himself and make them obey without raising his voice or ordering around. Who knew envy can be really dangerous, aside for it is one of the seven deadly sins in the world. Instead of getting insulted, Tsuna became flattered of what Satomi thinks and brushed it off. It was the sky flame harmonization, that others really disagreed on.
His guardians gave him a lengthy list of why it was not the sky flame. In the end, it concluded that it was because of his personality. Reborn did explain that if Tsuna was really temperamental like Hayato, he could have got a storm flame instead. So yes, he agreed that it was personality even though it was inborn. Just like Xanxus too, which wields the wrath flames.
After that, Tsuna was pushed to explain why he didn't escape himself when he knew how to untie the ropes on his back. Reborn shot him when he answered that he waited for them like a damsel in distress because he wants to feel like one and spite Satomi for being a jerk. He is not a saint, after all.
Tsuna crouched down and set the basket in front of him. He started to put the things he brought in front of the stone with Chrome's help, and then prayed with the others.
"I'm home, Kaasan." Tsuna said softly with a smile. "Sorry if I made you wait. It took me a plenty of time to forgive Namimori for what they've done to me. It took Tousan to convince me too. God. I'm ashamed." He laughed a little, making the others smile. "Kaasan, I'm with my friends."
"Rokudou Mukuro." Mukuro introduced with politeness, eyes shining with respect for the woman who brought up his benevolent sky to the world.
"Nice to meet you, Nana-san. I'm Dokuro Chrome." Said by Chrome who bowed slightly, feeling happy to be able to meet the woman.
"Hibari Kyouya."
Tsuna laughed. "Mama remembers you Kyouya. She once told me that you took an hamburger from her when she was cooking them."
Kyouya looked away, embarrassed.
"Bovino Lambo! Tsuna-nii's adopted brother! Nice to meet you, Mama!" Lambo said cheerfully.
"Gokudera Hayato, Mam." Hayato said with a bow.
"Yamamoto Takeshi, son of the late owner of Takesushi who you and Tsuna always go to for sushi." Takeshi greeted as he stood beside Hayato. "He's in the good hands, Nana-san."
"Sasagawa Ryohei! Tsuna's onii-san!" Ryohei cheered as he stood beside Mukuro.
"Reborn, Madam." Reborn introduced.
"I don't have much to say, Kaasan. I know Tousan have blabbered much on you. I miss you and your cooking. I love you Kaasan." Tsuna said before standing up and stretching. "We'll be going now. Please look after us."
Tsuna craned his neck side to side before he patiently listened to his guardians bickering and failed attempt of pacifying the whole situation. He glanced at Reborn who was by the door, absolutely refusing to be part of today's activity. Oh. No worries, he has a plan.
It's been a month since they went to Japan. Byakuran came barging in, two days after they came home to Italy, demanding why he wasn't invited to go. Tsuna said it was Vongola travel plan and they'll go next time with the others. If only he knew how his guardians cringed at the idea. They knew how stressful they are to the decimo, adding another and a whole bunch is like killing him. Reborn only gave a smirk.
Tsuna looked towards the open window and started cloud watching. It brought him to the past. Two years ago to be exact. While reminiscing, he unconsciously clenched his hands before relaxing.
'Will it hurt them?' Tsuna asked himself as he stared at his hands.
"What are you thinking, Tsuna?" Takeshi asked with curiosity when he noticed the brunet.
Tsuna smiled weakly at him. "I'm thinking if we were able to meet earlier than this, could you be this hurt?"
Takeshi looked at Hayato who was staring at Tsuna. Even Kyouya, who was leaning by the sofa, was gazing at the brunet, who returned to staring at his hands. Lambo, who was using the brunet's lap as a pillow, gazed at his brother.
Ryohei tightened his fist as he asked himself the same thing. Mukuro and Chrome wandered too.
Tsuna sighed and smiled at them. "Maa... It can't be helped. It's because of those situations why you became the person who you are now." Then he unconsciously spread off sky flames. "It's because of those situation why we became a family."
And that made them smile.
"Okay. Time to get this picture taken. And Renato Reborn Sinclair! Get your hitman ass over here!" Tsuna teased.
Reborn huffed before sitting himself on the left armchair just as Chrome sat on the right with Mukuro standing beside her. Lambo stood behind the couch with Ryohei, who was chatting with Takeshi, who sat on the left of Tsuna and Hayato on the right. Kyouya leaned on the wall away from their loud chattering. Tsuna sighed and settled comfortably on the center of the couch, before activating his hyper dying will mode and gave the photographer a small serene smile.
"We're ready."
Fin.
