Non beta'd

"What do you want, Kawahira?" Tsuna snarled at the former Tri-Ni-Set ambassador. The two had been on relatively good terms throughout the years since Tsuna broke the curse that plagued the Arcobaleno, in fact Tsuna had made it a point that all the Arcobaleno talk with the man and resolve everything. Needless to say Tsuna had to pay a lot of money to fix everything. But right now, Tsuna couldn't be too careful no one outside of himself or his Guardians were allowed in this room.

Tsuna's eyes drifted to the prone form of Reborn. Reborn had been attacked with still recovering from the curse; Verde had been correct about them growing to their original forms but he had been wrong about the time. Instead of growing for 24 years like he predicted, the entire process would last only a day, normally that wouldn't be a problem but no one knew when the process was going to start not even Kawahira. Reborn had been on a mission when it happened, it was only thanks to Tsuna's intuition that they found him before it was too late. But there were some complications. Reborn hadn't grown any since the attack. While the others had already finished growing and were getting used to their old bodies, Reborn was still in the body of a 10 year old.

"He'll die, Kawahira's voice rang through the small room. "If something isn't done soon, Reborn will die."

"W-what do you mean?" Tsuna cringed at his own stutter, Reborn wouldn't be pleased when he heard that Tsuna had slipped back into his old habit of stuttering. Last time it happened Reborn literally beat it out of him. Reborn. Tsuna frowned at the thought of losing Reborn. So much would have been left unsaid. Tsuna never would have been able to thank him for giving him a family, for caring for him, for loving him like he did even it was normally painful. Tsuna would never be able to tell him how much he loved him.

Kawahira sighed gaining the attention of the petite brunet, "The curse when finally lifted would give those under it their original forms back."

"What does that have to do with Reborn dying?"

"If you'd let me finish you would knew, Tsunayoshi."

"Sorry, continue."

"Thank you. As I was saying, they should have gotten their original bodies back but the process should not have been disrupted. Their flames were slowly being released from the pacifiers and more were being produced at the same time for a larger body to handle." Kawahira finished, looking past Tsuna to the body on the bed. He couldn't help the grimace that no doubt passed his face, the Strongest of the Seven seemed so vulnerable.

"I still don't understand how Reborn will die." Tsuna scowled.

"The time limit of twenty-four hours has been up for quite some time, correct?" At the nod from Tsuna, he continued, "That means that he is producing enough Flame for a man three-times his age. Simply put, his Flames with kill him."

"Reborn's Flames, they're Sun Flames. Shouldn't they save him instead?"

"Normally that would be the case, yes. But Reborn does not use the healing ability often, he uses the destructive property of the Sun Flame causing his Flame to be harmful instead of helpful."

"I, he, isn't there anything we can do?" Tsuna bit back the tears that were welling in his eyes. Reborn was going to die here. Reborn was going to die.

"There isn't anything I can do," Kawahira watched as the other visibly deflated at those words. "However, there is something you can do."

Tsuna perked up almost instantly, "What can I do?"

"Your Sky Flame is so pure that you could force his Flame to shift from destructive to healing and save his life," He held up his hand as Tsuna went to answer. "But, you will die instead, Tsunayoshi."

"W-what?"

"While you do have an insane amount of Flame inside you it would not be enough to keep you alive and insure that Reborn's Flame stays healing. Your life or his. Whose will you chose?"

Tsuna fell back in his seat, his life or Reborn's? Reborn who taught him what it meant to protect those you care about, Reborn the one who put him through hellish training on a daily basis to take over a mafia family that he didn't even want. Reborn who took him from a lonely child to a man surround by those he loved. Reborn the one he fall in love with. Reborn.

Tsuna smiled softly, there was no real reason to think about it. He had long since decided that if the need would arise he would save his family, no matter who they were.

"Tell me what I need to do." Tsuna's looked at Kawahira, caramel eyes had shifted into a dawning orange that burned with resolve.

Kawahira could only smile bitterly as they went to work transferring Tsuna's Flames into Reborn.

Hours had passed and Tsuna could feel himself getting weaker with each passing moment, but he didn't care. His only focus was making sure that Reborn took every single Flame. Nothing else mattered.

The dawn started to shine through the window, illuminating Tsuna's eyes even more, when Reborn started to stir. Kawahira had long since disappeared after he gave Tsuna the proper instructions about how to properly transfer the Flames.

Tsuna couldn't help but smile weakly as Reborn's piercing onyx eyes opened.

"Reborn," Tsuna's voice was airy and came out barely above a whisper. "'m so glad you're awake. Don't think I could 'ave gone on much longer." Exhaustion was clear in the burnet's eyes.

Reborn's eyes narrowed at that, but as he opened his mouth to speak no words came out.

"You won't be able to talk for quite some time, Renato." A voice rang startling the duo.

"Kawahira, don't startle me like that!" Tsuna pouted, crossing his arms.

"I apologize, Tsunayoshi." A painful expression crossed his face as the double-meaning registered in Tsuna's mind.

"Times up?"

Kawahira nodded.

Tsuna turned to Reborn, sadness in his eyes but a smile on his face. "'m so glad I got to see you one last time Reborn. Thank you so much for everything," his voice became harder to understand as tears fell from his eyes. "Ti amo, Reborn." I'm so glad that I fell in love with you.

Reborn's eyes widened as Tsuna spoke those words, they sounded too much like a goodbye. Something in his stomach twisted. This couldn't be goodbye, not now, not after everything they went through together. Tsuna didn't know, Tsuna didn't know how much he loved him. Tsuna didn't know.

As if seeing the words in Reborn's eyes, Tsuna smiled bitterly and nodded.

'No,' Reborn thought cursing his inability to speak right now, cursing the fact that he trained Tsuna so well. 'Too well," his mind supplied when he tried to read Tsuna's mind.

Kawahira didn't say a word just nodded to Tsuna to give him conformation, time was officially up for him.

Tsuna just leaned over Reborn's bed, a smile on his face. Gently he placed a kiss on Reborn's forehead.

"Goodbye," he whispered softly into Reborn's ear.

As the soon finally rose high into the sky, Tsuna gave one last smile to Reborn before fading away right before his eyes.

The Vongola ring fell to the ground with a 'CLANG!' that resounded throughout the room signifying the end of the Decimo generation and with it Vongola.
