Arc 01: Prologue

Chapter 03 – Childhood

'The Silent Killer' or Li had taken Tsuna to his house in Italy and renamed him as Kurihira Taka. He wanted Tsuna to know that he was originally born in Japan, even though he now lives in Italy. He also told Taka to call him Father or Li.

At the age of one, Taka was learning many kinds of languages from the TV or the internet.

At the age of two, Taka started learning how to write and read in all the languages he learned when he was one years old with his father, Li. Li also taught him about all the general knowledge he would need to survive in the world.

At the age of three and four, Li trained Taka to be a fighter. He was trained in using all kinds of weapons to kill his enemies off or to protect himself. It was amazing that he can master all the weapons he was taught by Li in just two years.

At the age of five, Li decided it would be a good time to let Taka know the truth of his birth.

~ In the house ~

Li and Taka sat down in a room.

"The things I will tell you will be quite a difficult truth for you to handle Taka."

"I am used to everything by now, Father. After all, I have been trained by you personally not to be frightened of anything anymore."

"Hahaha… that is right," and Li's eyes became serious. "First, you must read this file," and he handed a file to Taka.

"Okay," while Taka opened the file. Taka reads through the file his Father given him.

After he finished reading, Taka was really shocked, his face was showing it. "What… is… this...?"

"You said you would not be shocked by it, but you are. I guess my training on you was not enough."

Li laughed evilly and Taka felt a shiver run down his spine while he puts the file onto the floor. Then, Taka calmed down a little by going outside of the room and many thoughts ran his mind. A few minutes later, he returned back into the room.

Taka took the file again. "What is this about Father?"

"This is your real identity. Your real name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, the younger twin son of Sawada Iemitsu and Sawada Nana. When you were a baby I had taken you away by making a blackout occurred in the hospital you were born at."

"But why… why did you take me away from my real parents?"

"I am sorry Taka, but I know that one day that all the current Vongola Heir candidates that are also Vongola Nono's sons will be killed and Nono cannot possibly let his adopted son take the place of Decimo because he is not his real son."

"Nono? Vongola? What does that have to do with my real identity?"

"You know everything about the Vongola Famiglia right?" Taka nods and Li continued. "And about the current boss of the Vongola Famiglia, Nono? Timoteo?" Taka nods again. "Do you know who the current Vongola Heir candidates are then?"

Taka nods once more and just stared at his Father. Li was pretty annoyed by it and was seriously angry.

"WOULD IT KILL YOU TO ANSWER ME IN WORDS THAN JUST NODDING YOUR HEAD?!"

"Sorry Father! Nono has three sons for the candidates to succeed him to become Vongola Decimo, if including his adopted son it would be four. The Vongola Decimo candidates' names are Enrico, Massimo, Federico and Xanxus."

Li nods. "Good. Now then about Sawada Iemitsu, your father is the leader of CEDEF. You should know about the CEDEF organization right?" Taka nods and Li continued. "Your mother is a normal citizen that does not even know that your father is related to the mafia at all. Your older brother's name is Hikoyasu and he is living happily now with your real mother."

"Oh… okay."

"When the three main candidates for the position of the Vongola Decimo died, the Vongola Rings will not accept Xanxus as Decimo because of his true relation to Nono. The Vongola Rings will either choose Hikoyasu or you. You and Hikoyasu are the last resort for the place of Vongola Decimo. This is the truth of your birth."

Taka hummed. "What is Xanxus' true relation with Nono? And why is it that I or either my nii-san, Hikoyasu will be the last resort candidates?"

"About what Xanxus' true relation to Nono, I will tell you some other days. About why you are a candidate with your nii-san is because of your ancestor. Iemitsu, Hikoyasu and you are the direct descendants of Primo who came to Japan after the betrayal of Daemon Spade."

"Alright, I understand everything now."

"One more thing, after I had taken you away from the hospital, your father did not even try to search for you, let alone find proof that you are either dead or alive."

Taka's eyes widened. "WHAT?! My own birth father? Not searching for me? Let alone find any proof that I am alive or dead?!"

"It is the truth. He was that cold, even towards you. But Nono wanted to find you, here is the proof."

Li took out a recorder and played what he recorded from the secret meeting between Timoteo and Iemitsu. After listening to the recorder, Taka was truly shocked. Li was laughing at the sight of Taka's shocked face. Then, Taka's head faced downwards.

Taka whispered. "Is this why you had taken me away from my real parents? So I will not be used as a last resort for the Vongola...?"

"Y-Yes… Now that you know the truth, you must not simply reveal who you are no matter what. I leave the decision to you to tell whoever you want to reveal your identity to, but not to too many people."

Taka nods. "Of course, Father."

"Now then," and Li's eyes mischievously evil. "Time for training~"

"Eh?!"

Taka wanted to run away, but Li caught him before he could. Next, Li carried him to a field and if you were 10 km radius within their training, you can hear Taka's screams of fright. How pitiful...
