AN: ...I'M SO SORRY! It's been like...a week since I last updated! But I got an excuse! Spring Break has ended...which means I'm back in school. The state exams are also coming up in around 2 weeks. Which means the teachers are burying us in schoolwork. First day back in school my math teacher, she handed us book 1 of a practice math exam and told us to finish it by tomorrow. Expect updates once a week, twice if I'm lucky and mostly during the weekends. Now wish me luck *dive into schoolwork*

Beta: The Dark Crimson Blood

Chapter 7: Modern Truth

Within the first few minutes of his tutoring, Tsunayoshi reached two conclusions. The first was that Gokudera Hayato was the most ill-tempered tutor of the universe. The second was that the people of Vongola didn't really bother to add much detail to history. In other words, the government covered up history, so no one would know what really happened.

Sighing in mild boredom, Tsunayoshi wished Reborn hadn't left. Unfortunately, the infant had left him with his tutor a couple minutes ago, so he had a long wait before he could get out of this. It also didn't help that Gokudera was trying to cram everything into his head in the most boring manner ever.

The boy had decided to begin with a summary of Vongola under the blooded Kings. After tying back his hair with a green band and popping glasses on his nose, he had begun.

"The kingdom of Vongola was found in 1693 by our Founder, Vongola Primo" read Gokudera from the gigantic tome. "Vongola was formed from the remains of the Italian Republic, better known as Italy, after it was destroyed by it's own citizens after decades of federal tyranny and terrorism.

" His majesty, Vongola Primo bought nearly half a decade of peace. During the time, he launched project after project to strengthen and improve the kingdom. The projects became the foundation to Vongola's successes. But before long, Civil war erupted between two rival parties.

Those factions were the Gente and the Nobile. The Gente, lead by Vongola Primo, believed that the government should be ruled by the people while the Nobile, lead by Vongola Primo's half-brother Ricardo di Vongola, believed that the government should be ruled by those of ancient bloodlines" explained Gokudera.

"That blood purity bogus? The nobles those days got it bad. Back then, you couldn't even look at them without them asking after your blood purity. Please tell me the Noble houses got the sticks out of their asses already!" said Tsuna conversationally, while playing with his fork.

"In modern terms, it was a fight over the kingdom's government system. Democracy against Monarchy. After nearly years of war, the factions reached a compromise. The government would establish themselves as a monarchy but the rulers and nobles themselves would be controlled by a representative of the people" continued Gokudera, ignoring Tsuna.

" But the gods themselves had other plans. The goddess of the earth, life, the universe, and time, otherwise known as Gaia, took him as her Child, Marionette, Avatar, Vessel. He became known as one of the Eternal Vessels, the Vessel of the Earth. The Vessel of the Earth was given the duty of judging and crowning the kings of Vongola on the behalf of the people and the gods."

"-And that turned out really well didn't it" muttered Tsuna under his breath, with his lips turned downwards in a adorable frown.

"Shortly after the compromise, Vongola Primo handed the throne over to Ricardo di Vongola, and mysteriously disappeared, leaving Ricardo di Vongola as Vongola Secondo, the next king" said Gokudera, showing no sign of even hearing the boy except for the barely noticeable tick mark on his brow.

"Ricardo di Vongola started the mass expansion of Vongola, creating and conquering colonies while forging alliances with newly created nations that had started popping up after Vongola's creation, all across the globe. One of the most famous was our alliance with the Kingdom of Cavallone, which is France to our Italy-"

"-Cavallone's alliance wasn't created due to Secondo at all" snapped Tsuna with a roll of his eyes,"Cavallone Primo, Gerardo di Chiavarone was one of the friends of Vongola Primo's friends-"

"-which still lasts to today. After the Secondo's Assassination, his eldest son, Corvino di Vongola took over the throne as Vongola Terzo. During his reign it was relatively peacefully with Terzo mainly stabilizing the economy and supporting the growing nation-"

"-probably because the guy had a self-esteem the size of a ant. Can't blame him though with his father-" interrupted Tsuna once again, boredom practically dripping from his voice.

"-But after a near financial crisis caused by the manipulation of the Kingdom of Bertesca, who was formerly as Iceland, Vongola Terzo passed the throne to his nephew, Pietro di Vongola. It was remotely peaceful, though their were some riots when rival factions clashed. His reign was famous for the spreading of art, manufacturing, and trade-"

"-Unsurprising. The guy was always greedy as a pig" snorted Tsuna as Gokudera twitched in annoyance at the interruption, again.

"-After his death by illness, the throne was passed to his son, Gabriele di Vongola who was a proud Quaker, who believed that all men were equal. A belief beyond his time, but a morally right one. Of course, either way, this lead to a religious civil war along with angering or allies. Our entire population was nearly chopped in half-"

"-He was an idiot" proclaimed Tsuna flatly.

"-Vongola Quinto was assassinated, and his eldest son, Simora di Vongola inherited the throne. The Sixth brought us into the political world. In his reign, our influence spread nationwide, establishing ourselves as the strongest kingdom across the globe. In his times, we established connections with the underground, and with other nations. Near the end of his reign, we entered a political crisis that nearly crippled us economically."

"-Politics are a double edged blade. He never would have understood it even if you stabbed him with a pretty sword and told it too his face. Guess that was the only way, He'll learn.." mused Tsuna out loud, much to Gokudera's irritation.

"After his death, the throne was passed to Fabio di Vongola, Simora's youngest son. During Vongola Settimio's reign, we increased our land. We now owe land, all across the country. We were able to conqueror thousands-"

"At the cost of a couple billion lives" stated Tsunayoshi with disgusted.

At first nothing happened. Then pink splotches formed on the boy's face. Slowly, it bleed red. The octopus haired boy rushed to his feet, eyes flashing in defiance.

"IF OUR RULERS ARE SO HORRIBLE THEN WHY THE FUCKING HELL DID YOU PICK THEM!" roared the boy with honest anger, bitterness, frustration, and confusion.

Glaring up at the boy, Tsunayoshi snapped,"Are you an idiot? Do you you really think that they would let me? Do you really think this mockery of a people's government actually exists?!"

"You have the wrath of the gods behind you!" retorted the boy, taking out a cigarette in an attempt to cool his temper.

At this, the Vessel threw his head back in laughter. "Do you really think that after centuries of technology and improvement that they haven't already developed a way to restrain the gods?" asked Tsunayoshi, chuckled slightly with bitter amusement.

Of course this was the final straw. Sputtering slightly, Gokudera's hands slipped around the cigarette he had just lighted. And of course the cigarette fell onto the floor.

A spark, a smoke, a breeze, and suddenly a fire formed in the middle of the library. Eyes wide with alarm, Tsunayoshi just had enough time to get out of his chair and push the stunned silverette out of the way before the fire spreaded, burning hot tongues of flames spreading across the flammable wood of the library.

Review, favorite, and follow! I'm just waiting to put up the poll. Oh, how do you guys feel about me making Xanxus and Tsuna marry? Do not kill me!
