Epilogue ~ Ten Years Later

"Tsuna"

"What, Reborn?" Tsuna snapped. From the way he replied – no, it's snapped at – Reborn, it sounded like he was – as Ryohei would put it – extremely angry.

"Irritated?" Reborn eyed his twenty-five-year-old ex-student with a raised eyebrow.

With a sigh, Tsuna placed his favourite pen on his desk where piled of paperwork laid. He raised his hands dramatically and replied in an equally dramatic tone, "Who wouldn't be if reports about the mansion destroyed every single day by my very own guardians – who are supposed to make sure things are orderly here – reach my desk every single day. I work here with no rest every single day and the work never seems to stop! So, tell me 100 reasons why I should not feel irritated!"

As if answering to Tsuna's anger, a 'boom!' resounded through the mansion. Then, it was silent once again except for Tsuna's panting after his long rant.

"Not again," Tsuna groaned before turning towards a smirking Reborn. "Get them here – all of them. Make them stand outside my room while you and I discuss about their punishment. I'm thinking of sending them to a death camp. I have had enough!" Tsuna slammed his fist onto the desk, leaving a resounding echo. "And if they make a single sound, beat some sense into them. Make sure it leaves a mark." A rare smirk reached Tsuna's lips as he gave the order to Reborn.

"Now you're talking," Reborn smirked as he slipped out of the room. "Wish me luck."

"I trust you don't need it."

Apparently, Reborn had been trying to restrain himself as well – something extremely rare for a Spartan like Reborn.

You should calm down, Tsunayoshi

But I can't! My head feels like its exploding! Too much paperwork! A frustrated Tsuna told Giotto.

Giotto chuckled but thanks to Tsuna's almighty intuition, he knew something was up. And he had a bad feeling that it wasn't going to end well.

What's wrong? Tsuna softly asked, masking his curiosity.

You've become a fine boss, Tsunayoshi

What brought this up? How rare for you to praise me! An astonished Tsuna replied.

I have something to tell you

What's up?

…

As Giotto uttered those words, Tsuna felt like his world had turned upside down and had left him dangling. His knees bucked, his eyes blank, seeing nothing.

At the same time, Reborn entered with a triumphant smile on his normally smirking face. However, when he saw the state Tsuna was in, that smile faltered abruptly. "Tsuna!"

Tsuna could feel someone shaking him. He guessed it was Reborn while wondering how did Reborn finish the job so fast. But at that moment, that question was pushed far, far away into his mind. He couldn't comprehend anything.

Why? Tsuna wailed desperately in his head. Why? Isn't that bastard aware what those words could do to me? Didn't he know how much I hated goodbyes? And what's with those stupid words?

A stinging pain on his cheek brought Tsuna back to reality. He slowly brought a hand to his bruised cheek as he looked at the one who slapped him. A tear fell down onto his cheek.

"What's wrong, Tsuna?" Reborn asked sharply, grabbing Tsuna's trembling shoulders.

Tsuna took in a shaky breath as he regained his composure and slowly stood up with Reborn's help. He could see his famiglia peering at him anxiously from the outside of the room.

"It's nothing," Tsuna finally spoke, his voice quivering slightly.

"Don't tell me it's nothing! It's so damn obvious it's something!" Reborn snarled slightly, his anxiety controlling the better of him.

When Reborn was about to give up asking, Tsuna answered his question (to Reborn's utmost surprise) quietly, wiping his tears away, "Giotto's gone."

Reborn's eyes widened in shock while his guardians stared at each other in surprise. No one expected this to happen so soon.

"What did he tell you?" In better words, 'What were his last words?'

Tsuna walked towards the big window behind his desk and gazed at the cool, blue sky. He turned back towards his famiglia, the sunlight illuminating his figure along with his piercing blue eyes and a sad smile on his face. He then repeated Giotto's last words to them.

Tsunayoshi…

Thank you for everything…

…and…

…goodbye….
