(Part 2)
"That's!" the group looked up to see a brunette in front of the Kokuyo gang while on three out of the seven were happy.
"Boss!" Gokudera yelled as he smiled brightly towards the brunette; Chrome looked down as Ken and Chikusa looked at each other. She was hoping for someone else to come, but knew he wouldn't mess up a plan... probably.
"So you're here... but," Xanxus said before Gola Mosca began to shoot out missiles causing them to hit the school and destroy it. Reborn and Basil were also on the scene, but were trying to protect themselves from the incoming missiles that landed around them.
"What on earth is going on!?" Basil yelled as he ran through the smoking battlefield with Reborn in front of him.
"That Mosca looks like it's going to destroy everything in its path!" Reborn yelled out as they kept running through. "That maneuver can't be human... has it gone berserk?" Missiles were then headed towards Takahiro from above.
"Eliminate everything, starting with the scum," Xanxus said glaring at Takahiro, "That has not change." Takahiro looked up at the missiles and scoffed as he grabbed three of the cards and shot them up. They started to move around at his command like puppets, so once they reached the top the missiles exploded into orange flames.
"Wha... What!?" Levi yelled as he and the other Varia members watched in astonishment as the cards flew back to Takahiro.
"He... he can control them from such a distant!?" Gokudera yelled as Yamamoto and Ryohei stared in amazement. Takahiro looked towards Gola Mosca and controlled the cards to go its way; the cards grouped together to make a sharp spear and cut off one of the Mosca's arm off.
"Wha-What the hell did he do!?" Levi yelled as he stared in astonishment and anger, "What the hell? What was that move!?"
"Hey scraps," Takahiro taunted as Mosca turned towards him, "Where you looking and shooting at? I'm your opponent!" Mosca took a second to process the information before he sent missiles towards Takahiro. Takahiro used the three cards as a shield before two of them stuck under his feet to make his maneuvering skills faster.
"Sawada!" Ryohei yelled looking over at his friend in a worried state.
"All the shells are going for the boss!" Gokudera said as they watched the teen dodging Mosca's attacks.
"Mosca has locked onto his target," Reborn stated also looking worried for his student. Mosca hot a beam towards Takahiro which he evaded before going near the Mosca with the cards that had transformed into a spear. They transformed around his hand and covered in flames as he got near Mosca. Mosca was charging up to shoot another beam at the brunette closing on to him.
"Boss!" Gokudera yelled as Mosca shot the beam closing in on Takahiro; Takahiro quickly evaded it and punched Mosca. It was such a huge impact that it cracked and flew back from the punch and fell a couple feet away from him.
"He... He's strong!" Ryohei said with a smile on his face as Yamamoto agreed.
"Way to go boss!"
"B-boss...!" Levi looked in surprised as Xanxus held a sort of victorious smirk as he watched the ending. While they celebrated his victory, Reborn and Takahiro knew that something was wrong so the brunette turned towards the suspicious person.
"What the hell are you scheming Xanxus?" Takahiro asked not noticing Gola Mosca getting up and heading towards him. He was a bit shocked as he turned knowing he wouldn't make it in time, "Shit!" Just then another orange light flew out from behind Xanxus and in front of Takahiro before flying up causing Mosca to attack the ground.
"Boss/Takahiro/Sawada!" The three teens yelled before being stopped by the ground turning icy around them. The Varia also looked down to see the ground turning icy; they were confused before Bel looked around. The Cervello looked in shock and were about to do something when they got knocked out and fell to the ground.
"What the hell is going on?" Reborn asked before he was stopped a big figure, "Who the hell are you?" he asked pulling out his gun. He was stopped as he was suddenly picked up with Basil and was taken to another area.
"What the hell is this!?" Gokudera yelled before looking up and seeing the Kokuyo gang just standing around. Chrome was looking up with a sort of happy face, "Hey! Why aren't you guys surrounded in ice!?"
"God your annoying," Ken said as Gokudera got pissed from the attitude he displayed. Ken looked up at the orange light and pointed, "Don't worry just look up and be quiet."
"What!?" Gokudera looked up and saw an orange light that resembled Takahiro's, except this one was a bit darker and warmer. He squinted his eyes and saw his precious boss being lifted up, "Boss!"
"He's safe," Ryohei said as Yamamoto sighed in relief, "But... who could've saved him?" Takahiro had shut his eyes waiting for the blow, but felt a breeze which made him open his eyes. He blinked and saw he was high above the ground and was shocked until he felt a grip on his arms.
"Are you okay?" He looked up to see a figure with a lion mask on holding them up with the orange flame. He nodded a bit as the person nodded and looked down towards the Gola Mosca who was looking around. "That thing... let me handle it."
"Huh? But this is my fight!" Takahiro yelled looking at the mysterious person who wore a black suit with a cape. "Look thanks for the help, but I can take care of my-"
"Sorry, but that's not a part of the mission," he threw Takahiro away from him making him fall to the right of him. Takahiro turned glaring at the masked man before using his cards to slow down the fall. He clicked his tongue as he turn to see Gola Mosca having a lock on him again and cursed as he got his cards ready to attack the thing. "Hey you metal head!" Takahiro saw the masked man behind the Gola Mosca with a smirk, "I think I'm more dangerous than him."
"Hey I thought I told you to back off!" Takahiro yelled as Gola Mosca scanned the masked man while the others looked at the mysterious man. Xanxus eyes widen at the sight of the man as the Varia members clenched their teeth. Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Ryohei looked confused at the man before seeing Reborn and Basil land next to them on a big man.
"Let go of me!" Reborn yelled as he jumped away with Basil and pointed his gun towards the big guy. He then noticed ice begin to make a circle around him, but this one didn't close all the way. He was confused before looking at the three other Vongola guardians, "What the hell is going on!?"
"Cool it baby," Reborn shot his head towards the masked figure from before, "We are just taking precautions is all."
"Rabbit?" Yamamoto asked as he noticed the masked figure from before, "Where have you been during the whole thing? And who are these guys!?"
"These are my partners," Rabbit said as he looked towards the big guy, "Bisonte you did a great job getting these two out of here, the boss should be pleased."
"I would do anything for Leo-sama," Bisonte spoke although his voice was also modified with a modifier which made it deeper. He looked towards the mysterious figure, "Plus everything has been according to plan even though that kid screwed up by showing up."
"Kid? You mean Takahiro?" Reborn asked not at all happy with how they were speaking. He pointed his gun at Rabbit, "Start talking you, who are you and why are you so interested in Takahiro?"
"Interested? Who is," the Cervello landed near them as another figure with a mask dust off their hands. They could tell it was female by the way their body was and the voice was a bit higher pitched than Rabbits. "Please we're not interested in anyway, we just needed him to... you know... not come to the fight at all."
"Cobra," Rabbit said with a sigh, "You don't have to be so mean when you're talking about the substitute..."
"Look who's talking, at least Idon't call him a substitute even though it's true," Cobra said as she walked towards them. She stopped in between Bisonte and Rabbit, "Seems Leo-sama is going to have a battle with the Gola Mosca."
"Seems so, he said to have these two on standby unless the kid interfered with the fight," Rabbit said as he put a hand to his waist. Their eyes made their way towards the three fighters where Mosca was still scanning the mysterious guy.
"Hey! This is my fight, who the hell do you think you are!?" Takahiro yelled in anger as the guy didn't move, but still had his smirk as he just stared at the Gola Mosca.
"They call me Leo," he started out as Gola Mosca looked up a bit more turning fully towards Leo, "Leo di Cielo." After he finished, Mosca shot missiles towards Leo causing Takahiro's eyes to widen.
"Hey watch out!" He yelled as Leo just stood there with a smirk before he flew up in a very fast speed. He flew above the missiles and watched as they exploded. He saw more going his way as he maneuvered around them to not get hit before flying towards the Mosca. He aimed his punched towards the big metal robot, but landed it on the ground due to it dodging it. He left a small crater on the ground shocking the others that were looking before Leo stood up and frowned.
"So... are you going to fight me, or," Leo pointed at Takahiro who stood back a bit, "Him." Mosca stood thinking a bit and turned towards Takahiro flying towards the brunette. Leo looked unhappy, "Wrong choice..."
"Takahiro!" Basil yelled as they all stood in shock as the Mosca went towards Takahiro who was going to dodge. Everything seemed to go in slow motion for the brunette as he put his hand up which held a card to protect himself. He blinked and saw Leo in front of him with his hand out covered in flames going to attack the Mosca.
"No one hurts him!" He yelled as he made his other hand go out in a sort of karate chop before he cut through the middle of the machine. Takahiro stopped as the Mosca also did in front of both of them burning in half. The two males looked in surprise as something began to fall out of it before going into complete shock as they held the body of the ninth Vongola boss. Leo froze in his place as the other three masked figures also did while Takahiro looked in shock and horror with Reborn.
"Wha... What the... "Ryohei started as Takahiro looked down at the now injured old man, "There's a man inside!"
"This..." Takahiro looked up to see Leo shaking before his eyes went down towards the old man, "This person..."
"The Ninth Vongola Boss," Takahiro finished as they all looked in shock except Xanxus who held a smirk. Before anyone could blink, Reborn began to run out of the circle with a first aid kid towards the three.
"This..." Basil looked at the three masked figures that looked shocked, "This wasn't on the report! I thought you said that the energy source was something else!?"
"I thought so too!" Cobra yelled back at Rabbit before looking back, "If I would've known it was the Ninth, do you think the Varia would even be fighting now!?"
"What's going on...?" Bisonte asked as he kept looking over at Leo who was shaking in his place. Leo turned his gaze towards Xanxus who held an evil smirk towards Takahiro who was in shock.
"Why... is he... inside this scrap of metal?" Takahiro asked in shock as Reborn showed up looking up at Leo then towards the Ninth. Leo looked over at Reborn and carefully put down the old man as Reborn checked him over.
"Damn it..." Leo cursed as he looked down at the old man, "Now I understand... My information was deceived." Xanxus looked over at Leo as he stood up, "There was never any guy who purposelygot into the suit, was there?" Xanxus kept his smirk, "Instead the ninth was forcedto be Gola Mosca's power source."
"Power source!?"
"How could they!"
"Wh... Why!?" Takahiro finished looking down at the injured ninth.
"It's not 'why' is it!" Takahiro turned around in surprised, "You two... you've gone and killed the ninth boss." Takahiro was taken aback before looking down at his hands and then towards the old man. Leo clenched his fist as his arms shook in anger as Takahiro looked in horror, "Who was it? Who struck down the old man with no mercy whatsoever?"
"Shut up!" Leo yelled his amber eyes glowing in anger as his flame grew and burnt off the voice modifier. The three masked people looked in shock as Leo's real voice began to come out.
"Who was it that attacked him with no friendly intent?" Xanxus said before his eyes shifted towards Leo, "Who split Mosca in half with the old man inside?" Leo glared in anger before using his flame to go towards Xanxus. He clenched his fist and brought it down on the traitor only to be blocked by Xanxus gun.
"You planned this..." Leo said as he looked at Xanxus with anger, "You planned this whole thing so that you can become the boss..." he put more flames on his punch as he started to break through, "You forcefully shoved the ninth in there you bastard!" He brought his hand back and did a round house kick on him. Xanxus was thrown to the side, but kept his composure as he looked up at Leo with a glare pointing his gun.
"Don't accuse me you murderer!" Xanxus yelled as he began to shoot at Leo causing him to fly away dodging. He went straight again as he started to throw punch after punch as Xanxus blocked them while backing away. He stopped before shooting from below making Leo fly away in the process making the others gasp, "Who would've thought I could hit you."
"Shut up you bastard," Leo said taking off the cloak and loosening his tie, "Your dead." He pulled something out from his pocket and put them on his hands, "Let's see if you can handle me with these."
"Those are!" Basil exclaimed as he saw the gloves that Leo had put on shocking most of them there.
"Primos... gloves..." Reborn said in shock as they stared at the gloves, Takahiro was shocked as he saw them.
"I will kill you traitor," Leo said in a serious tone as he quickly made his way towards Xanxus. Xanxus only smirked as he went forward shooting at Leo who flew around dodging all of the orange bullets. Leo went for a punch only to have it grabbed by Xanxus who brought down the hilt of his gun down to also have his arm be grabbed by Leo.
"You should be stripped of your title for having harmed a mafia boss."
"You should be quiet and just die." They both stared at each other as their power became intensifying causing the air around them to go crazy. Takahiro stared in shock as the two fought and then notice Xanxus turning the gun around to face down onto Leo's head.
"Watch out!" Takahiro yelled which caused Leo to look up, but was too late as Xanxus shot while jumping back. Leo was somehow caught in the fire causing panic to go through all of them. The mask he wore came flying out of the explosion, half of it engulfed in the orange flame. The trio looked in shock as they stared at the explosion and then at the burning mask.
"Le... o," Rabbit said quietly before Cobra fell to her knees and let out a loud scream as tears fell down.
"Leo-sama... it can't be," Bistone said as he just watch smoke fly up to the sky as the others just stared in shock. Xanxus looked victorious, why? He just defeated the second most feared person in the mafia world. Leo di Cielo, the one that was hired for missions that only people better than professionals were hired to do. One that was highly respected by many mafia familias, one that was feared by many mafia bosses, and one that was called the Galileo and Caesar of our time.
"TSUNA!" Cobra yelled as she sobbed into her hands which caught everyone's attention. Bistone looked down as he felt the tears roll down as Rabbit clenched his fist looking towards the scene. Everyone stared in shock at the three, "Tsuna... why... what happen to not dying until completing the mission... what happen to us getting married..."
"Tsuna-sama... why did you..." Bistone said as he bowed his head more and more as he spoke up. Hibari also stepped forward looking pissed as he glared at the destroyed scene while the Kokuyo gang looked in shock.
"Bossu..." Chrome said as she also fell to her knees as tears streamed down her face.
"That idiot!" Ken said as he stared while Chikusa clenched his fist while narrowing his eyes.
"What's that dying so easily?" Hibari stated in an angry tone as he stepped forward, "Was I wrong as choosing you as one of my opponents? Were you that weak, Tsunayoshi!?"
"You idiots," Rabbit said as he looked up not being able to believe it, "Revealing his name like that... Who do you think you are? Beside he wouldn't die like that... he just..." he said and stepped forwards, "WHAT THE HELL YOU IDIOT! YOU CAN'T JUST GO DYING LIKE THAT, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!? GET UP, TSUNA!" Something flew out of the smoke before landing near the Ninth and Takahiro making them look in shock.
"Don't go killing me off," the figure said as they lifted their head to reveal angry amber eyes. The trio looked at the figure as they finally stood up with no more disguise or anything. The tie and blazer had caught on fire so he was left with a white button up as he put his fist together, "Damn mask got in the way..."
"Bossu!" Chrome said having a relieved face as Chikusa smiled at his sudden back from the dead performance. Ken looked angry as he wiped away the tears and looked away mad.
"Hn?" Hibari said as he still glared but gave a small smile, "I see now... you're showing off again."
"Tsuna..." Cobra said as she hiccupped and smiled, "Tsuna!"
"You damn brat," Rabbit said as Bisonte only looked up and smiled, "Man! Next time I hope you really die, idiot!"
"What!?" Tsuna yelled looking towards him and wiping away some blood, "That damn attack hurt! But isn't it too bad for you," Tsuna said looking at Xanxus, "Now I can kick your-"
"Tsuna?" Tsuna turned and his eyes widen seeing Takahiro there with shock written all over his face. He then looked around and groaned covering his face with his hand, "It is you... Tsuna."
"How... how is this possible? You're Leo di Cielo?" Reborn asked as Tsuna looked towards them and sighed. He stood straight up and looked at his three partners and nodded as they hesitated a bit.
"Yes," he said plainly out before the trio took off their mask shocking the others as they saw who it was.
"You guys are..." Gokudera stated as he saw Zero, Lilly, and Taoru with their masks off. Lilly crossed her arms forgetting all about her breakdown as Zero put a hand on his waist with a frown.
"I guess the secrets out," Zero said as he gave a yawn.
"Well it was our fault..." Taoru said with a sad little kid face.
"I feel bad know... I'm sorry my love~" Lilly said with tears.
"So this is why you were so secretive," Reborn stated as Tsuna looked down in shame and then up.
"Why..." Takahiro started, "Why did you become this? Why did you lie about dying? Why do youhave Primos gloves and know so much about the mafia!?"
"That..." Tsuna started before biting his lip and looking away, "It's complicated." Takahiro's eyes widen as he watched his older brothers flame disappear as his eyes turned back to their normal chocolate brown. "I'm sorry Takahiro, I didn't mean to hurt you or anything... but I had to-"
"Why!?" Takahiro shouted looking at him angrily, "That's all I have ever heard since you disappeared and came back... I won't understand and it's complicated." Tsuna looked up at him with a sad look, "I just want to know... What the hell are you guys hiding and why are you here!?"
"He's here to be Vongola Decimo," they all stood in shock as the ninth's voice said that. Tsuna ran over to see the old man still alive and was surprised as Takahiro also walked over.
"Ninth!" Tsuna said as he helped support him, "You're alive! But you shouldn't be talking or moving around, please you should-"
"Tsunayoshi!" Tsuna was quiet as he looked at the old man, "My body might not last long... please don't let this old fool die with regrets..."
"Tsuna... you know the ninth?" Reborn asked as Tsuna looked down in sadness and in a thinking matter. He nodded shocking Reborn, Takahiro, and Xanxus as the brunette just looked at his brother.
"I didn't get in an accident or even ran away," Tsuna said as he looked at the ninth, "I left with Nono as a kid to Italy to train myself, but I ran away from Vongola seeking out something more. I was only with the Vongola up until thirteen after finding out that I was the next candidate for Vongola Decimo."
"What?" Takahiro said shocked by the information which caused Xanxus to get pissed. Takahiro looked down and then back up, "But I thought Iwas chosen?"
"No..." the ninth said as they looked towards him, "Your father made that decision since he thinks Tsuna is dead. Your mother somehow knew he wasn't and kept it a secret... but you weren't chosen."
"Ninth please stop," Tsuna said with a sad and regretful look on his face, "Beside this was my entire fault... I should've stayed put like you told me, but instead I abandoned Vongola and-"
"No..." the ninth said looking at Tsuna, "The one at fault... was me..." this shocked them as he smiled. The ninth looked over at Takahiro, "I'm sorry I had deceived you Takahiro... this isn't how I wanted to meet you."
"Ninth..." Takahiro said as he looked in shock as the old man just smiled up at him.
"I'm sorry to both of you though... this all happened because of my own weakness... my weakness that... allowed Xanxus to wake up from his long sleep..." this shocked them all and only pissed off Xanxus.
"What do you mean by sleep?" Reborn asked catching the two brunette's attention, "After the cradle affair, Xanxus was cast out of the family and kept under strict surveillance by the Vongola. Wasn't he?"
"Cradle Affair?" Takahiro asked as Reborn looked at him and then Tsuna who also had a puzzled face.
"You haven't heard of it?"
"Only rumors of it, I didn't think it was true," Tsuna answered, "I must have left before it happened or I was on some mission when it happened..."
"It was eight years ago," Reborn started looking back at the old man, "The largest coup d'état in Vongola history." Reborn then went on to explain what had happened as Xanxus grew angrier and angrier by the second.
"Since then he'd been asleep," the ninth looking sad, "While his hatred and his grudge grew to a frightening proportions..." before anything else could be said he began to cough out blood.
"Ninth!" Tsuna said worried as Takahiro also looked worried for the old man.
"Are you alright!?" Takahiro asked as he looked at the blood, "Hang in there old man!"
"Takahiro..."
"Please take it easy ninth," Tsuna said as he looked over at Lilly, "Hurry up and call someone! Also wake up those damn Cervello."
"Tsunayoshi..."
"Speaking will only make it worse," Takahiro said as he looked at the ninth.
"I've always..." the two Sawada's looked at him, "I've always been hearing new about you... from Reborn..." he said looking at Takahiro, "About the girl you like and... about your school... and your friends..." He then looked at Tsuna, "I've heard about from Zero... your missions... the people you helped... and even that time you four went to the amusement park and finally had fun..."
"Zero... told you..." Tsuna said in shock as he looked over at Zero who looked away whistling.
"Takahiro... Tsunayoshi... although you grew apart you two are similar..." the two brunettes's looked at the old man in confusion. He smiled, "You both are children with a heart that... is really mismatched for a mafia boss." Tsuna's eyes widen as he looked at Takahiro as Takahiro also looked to Tsuna, "Takahiro is a bit rougher, intelligent, and, although he won't admit it, sweet and kind. Even though he has been trained to fight, he would never harm anyone unless he had a reason, may it be stupid or smart, and he would always use a reason. You are different from when you were young... maybe that's why your father would have picked you from Tsuna..."
"Dad?" Takahiro said as he looked in shock before watching the old man turn to his older brother.
"Tsunayoshi, though, is different... you have never once fought in a battle willingly... you always have these lines between your eyebrows, clenched your fists as if praying." Tsuna looked in shock before looking down in shame, "But that is like you, always so kind hearted towards anyone and everyone, until they cross the line."
"Ninth..."
"That is why... I chose you to be the tenth boss of the Vongola," Takahiro was taken aback as he looked over at Tsuna. Xanxus... wasn't chosen?He thought before looking at the ninth. "Takahiro I want to give you something..." he said as he raised his finger towards Takahiro's forehead.
"... Please don't..." Tsuna said while looking down before feeling the ninth's hand pulling his fin to Takahiro's head too.
"He must know..." Takahiro felt something warm on his forehead and saw it was a dying will flame from the ninth. Tsuna looked sad before lighting his own which made Takahiro's eyes widen at the familiar warmth. "I'm sorry... but I'm glad..." Takahiro began to cry as Tsuna also cried, "That it could've been you... but I'm glad it is you..."
"No wait!" Takahiro yelled as the ninth fell unconscious while Tsuna cried while holding him, "No don't! Please wait, ninth boss! NINTH BOSS!"
"I'm sorry... I should have never left..." Tsuna said as he let the tears flow out.
"How dare you kill the ninth boss!" Tsuna looked up as Takahiro just kept crying, "The despicable way in which you struck down the ninth boss, is a challenge against his own son Xanxus, as well as the noble Vongola spirit!"
"What did you say?" Tsuna asked getting angry as his bangs covered his eyes.
"No need for investigation, the burns on the ninth boss's chest are the undeniable evidence." Xanxus said looking down at them, "Now that the boss has been murdered, the ring contest battle is meaningless! For the boss, my father, and for the future of the Vongola and all mafia familia... I will kill the both of you as vengeance!" They all looked shock by his words making the teen guardians and the others look in anger.
"Wh-What the hell did you say!? He wants to what the ninth boss!?"
"So this is what he'd aim for..." Reborn said looking up, "If he only won the ring contest battle and became the next boss, those who know of the cradle affair would object to his succession, and would also continue to oppose him." Reborn started as Tsuna stood up walking forwards slowly as Takahiro still cried his eyes out. Tsuna stopped behind Takahiro as Reborn continued, "But, if he trapped Takahiro, or Tsuna, into the role of the villain, and attacked the ninth boss's enemy in a battle of revenge... that's a different matter. He would gain absolute trust from the majority of the family."
"I see now," Tsuna said with no emotion in his voice as Xanxus turned towards him, "You were planning on making mybrother the bad guy huh? You were going to make that stupid machine kill all his guardians so that he would come here and strike it down. Then, as if it wasn't planned, go into a revenge battle and strike my brother down to prove you are stronger than the actual tenth, huh? All so you could rule the familia and make a dictatorship..."
"It was a well laid out trap," Reborn finished looking down.
"Quit screwing with me!" Takahiro yelled as he turned looking angry, "For... for something as stupid like that... he would..."
"Please refrain from speaking such wild conjectures out loud, Reborn."
"We will officially record everything that is spoken," the Cervello said after finally waking up. Lilly, Zero, and Taoru looked pissed off and were glaring at the two girls.
"Do whatever you want. My patience has ran out," Reborn stated causing the two to look frightened. "But I will honor my promise to the ninth boss and not interfere... that goes for you three too."
"We know that already," Zero said as they held back, but still intensified their glare towards them. "Tsuna what are you going to do?"
"Takahiro," Reborn said as the younger twin stood up from his spot and turned to look at his older twin. His tears still fell as he walked beside him and grabbed his hand before falling to his knees. He squeezed his older brothers' hand causing everyone to look in shock of his actions.
"Tsuna..." Takahiro said as he looked up with tears falling, "Please Tsuna... you know more than me and am stronger than me..."
"Boss!"
"Gokudera," Yamamoto said grabbing his shoulder before shaking his head and looking at the scene.
"Tsuna I am asking- no, begging you," Takahiro said with hopeful eyes, "I don't care about the status name anymore... but... please, youavenge the ninth! You mustavenge him!"
"What kind of crazy talk is that?" Xanxus said with a mad look as he watched the two twins interacting.
"Tsuna please... you must become the tenth..." Tsuna stood there before walking forward letting go of his brother's hand. Takahiro looked down as he kept crying as Tsuna just walked before stopping in front of Xanxus.
"Xanxus..." Xanxus looked up at him, "Now that I know the truth I won't deny my birth right... so I will take that ring back."
"What?"
"You will not follow in the ninths footsteps because..." he looked up with determination on his face, "I shall be taking my rightful place as Decimo."
