Slow, steady beeping filled the silence in the snow white room. Lined along all of the walls was advanced medical equipment with a few men in white coats lingering around, checking each of the screens. There were a few gray lounge chairs spread in the room each being occupied by a man each varying in age but all asleep. Then there was one large black circular couch that surrounded the only bed in the room; the couch currently being occupied by one person and several small animals but a large lion with stripes could be seen curled up around a smaller lion on the couch. Finally there was a familiar young brunette laying in the bed talking quietly to the man on the couch.
"Dame-Tsuna you shouldn't overexert yourself like that." Reborn sounded worried about the small brunette who simply smiled back at him gently. "What do you think would have happened if you relapsed while we were still there?"
Reborn reached out to take the younger boy's hand in his own two hands before pressing his forehead to their conjoined hands. Tsuna watched him do so with the simple smile still intact on his lips. "I'm sorry Reborn. But you know I had no choice, if I'm going to get Tsunami out of the Vongola I had to destroy any faith he had in his own power."
At that moment the heart monitor that had been beeping constantly suddenly spiked and the beeping came at a sporadic pace as Tsuna coughed harshly. Doctors that had been lingering in the room immediately jumped to their boss' side and began to frantically change his empty IV with a new bag that held a liquid with a neon-blue tint. At this time the rest of Tsuna's guardians woke up and materialized at Tsuna's side. Xanxus was on Tsuna's other side gripping his other hand in an uncharacteristic show of concern while Gamma sat next to the exiled heir and looked about ready to rip the doctors' heads off if they did not fix what was happening. Hibari was at the foot of Tsuna's bed with Mukuro, both tried not to show their worry but their constant fidgets betrayed them. Finally Basil was between Mukuro and Reborn and he seemed to be trying to calm everyone down even though he was panicking more than they were.
The incessant beeping finally calmed down after a few stressed moments causing each person in the room, sans Tsuna, to release the breath that they were unaware they were holding.
Tsuna simply glanced up at the IV bag next to his bed with a thoughtful look gracing his face. "I'm going to need to retrieve some more if I'm going to make everything go according to plan…" At Reborn's sour expression Tsuna gripped his hand before sending the irate hitman a warm smile. "Say what you want about him, Reborn, but he is a genius."
"Tsunayoshi-sama, you should know that flattery gets you nowhere." A dull voice drawled out from the entrance of the room causing the occupants to turn to the new entry with varying expressions.
Tsuna simply smiled at the man in the doorway seemingly unsurprised by his sudden appearance. "Perhaps, but it did get you here did it not Verde?"
The tall green haired man in the doorway smirked in response, his green eyes glimmering in an amused manner from behind his large spectacles. He reached up to scratch the stubble that had grown on his face while he used his other hand to try and straighten out his pristine white lab coat. "No. What got me here was the fact that I am in your debt for numerous reasons and I don't like being indebted to someone."
Verde motioned for something to be brought in before a large alligator slowly crawled into the room towing a large container. The alligator went to one of the doctors and the doctor immediately opened the storage container before transporting its contents into the freezer in the back of the room.
Once the contents were empty the alligator crawled back out the door with the mad scientist following closely behind. Before he left he looked over his shoulder and sent a smirk in Reborn's direction.
"I wonder how it feels Reborn…" Said hitman simply arched an eyebrow in response while the others; sans Xanxus, Hibari, and Mukuro; watched the scientist carefully. After all the scientist was notorious for smashing every single one of Reborn's buttons without mercy or regret.
"How what feels Verde?" Reborn reluctantly bit out while Leon shifted uncomfortably on his master's shoulder.
Verde's smirk turned slightly sadistic and his eyes gained a maddening glint to them.
"To know that the only person you've ever loved is going to die and you're worthless to stop it? Or worse, that I'm the only one who can." The scientist's words left an inexplicable chill in the room before all hell broke loose.
"I want to know about Tsunayoshi Sawada."
Iemitsu looked up from his tea while Nana looked shocked that her beloved 'Tsu-kun' knew about the boy.
Nana quickly regained her composure and sent her son a shaky smile, "T-Tsu-kun, what are you talking about? Who's Tsunayoshi?" To her credit she was doing better at lying than Tsunami had expected from his mild mannered mother.
However Tsunami was in no mood to feel impressed over his mother's ability to lie. A teacup smashed against the walls and Tsunami glared furiously at his parents.
"STOP FUCKING LYING TO ME!" The teenager roared at his shell-shocked parents.
Iemitsu was the first to snap out of his stupor before ushering his wife up the stairs with quiet promises of, 'I promise I'll take care of it.' and 'Don't worry he doesn't hate you.'
With Nana upstairs and away from the shouting Iemitsu pinned his son with a cold glare. "I understand you're angry but never yell at your mother like that again, understand?"
Tsunami let out a noncommittal grunt before sending a venomous glare back at his father. "I just ran into my older brother I never even knew I had and not only did he know about me, he's a mafia boss set out to destroy Vongola i.e. me. So excuse me if I upset you!" He snarled at his father looking about ready to attack anything.
Iemitsu sighed in response running his hand through his short cut hair before motioning Tsunami to sit down. When he did nothing Iemitsu sighed before taking a seat instead resting his elbows on his knees then resting his head on top of his folded hands.
"Tsunayoshi Sawada… was a mistake." At Tsunami's sharp intake of breath Iemitsu sighed before beginning to speak once again. "We never planned for him. He was supposed to be dead by now and then you were born and you were perfectly healthy. Mafia law dictates that the eldest is next in line for the familgia's leadership. Tsunayoshi would never have made it, he was weak and his flames were barely showing. I had to get rid of him, you were better for the position. Tsunayoshi had to be taken to the hospital 7 times a month for treatment so I just took him to Italy with me and then left. He should have died in the streets and you would be the rightful heir, the heir Vongola needs." His voice held no signs of remorse nor regret, only complete faith that what he had done was the right thing to do.
At that moment Tsunami saw red. Not only did he have an older brother but said brother was left to die by the people who were meant to protect and love him? Only because fate had dealt him a bad hand, now not only was Vongola going to suffer for his father's irresponsibility but so would all of Vongola's allies.
Before Tsunami could register what was happening he saw his father sailing across the kitchen before smashing through the sliding doors that led outside. The brunette looked down to see his arm outstretched with a few droplets of blood splattered on it.
It felt as though his body was moving on autopilot as he stood over his father's crumbled form, glaring down upon it hatefully.
"Congratulations, father, because of you Vongola lost on a powerful boss who was able to to destroy a tonfa with his dying will alone and nearly kill my friend with one hit."
Even if Tsunami was unclear as to what was happening he understood one thing. Iemitsu had destroyed two lives with one bad decision and now there was only one thing Tsunami could do. If he had to do it he would never be able to return home to his normal life.
"Because of you I have to kill my own brother."
