EPILOGUE

After the War

Following the war, the various members of the mafia took a wide range of different paths. No two were the same but they were all as the mafia wished. There was not a single one amongst the resistance who had not earned the right to do whatever they wished.

Despite insisting otherwise Tsuna was given a huge amount of wealth from the newly formed governments of the world. He used the money to quickly retire with Dokuro, together they raised Shiro happily for years.

Ryohei used the opportunity given to him by his sworn brother to become friendly with his sister once again. When the world was ready to host sporting competitions again one of the quickest events to happen was him retaining his world boxing championship.

Lambo and I-Pin eventually decided that they didn't want to go their separate ways. They purchased a house together near to Tsuna's, they visit him often. To this day neither of them have been able to get a full time job but they are both happy with their part time roles.

Haru was paid by the state to train people to use the dying will flame. She played a highly active role in the mafia meaning she often asked Tsuna to look after his godson Juu. Gokudera's son is often taken to visit his father's memorial, the finest memorial of all according to Tsuna.

Yamamoto and Byakuran returned to Vegas and had a wedding they both concluded was amusing. Despite the venue being small they somehow managed to cram all of their friends and family in to watch them get married. They quickly retired after Yamamoto spent a year playing baseball in America.

Dokuro lives the life that her mother always dreamed she would. Never for one day is she not happy to be surrounded by her husband, her daughter and all of her loved ones.

Hibari and Dino retained their roles within the mafia, neither the type to retire early despite the hellish amount of effort they put in during the war. Together they raised Aron into adulthood. They still can't agree on who is the mother.

Xanxus became the 11th Vongola boss after Tsuna's quick retirement. Where Tsuna was the true successor to Vongola 1st he decides he will be the true successor to Vongola 9th. To this day he always remembers what Tsuna showed him, that he has friends.

Colonello took charge of the reformed CEDEF. With the dying will flame's power becoming public so many new strong people have emerged so he is already working on finding the 12th Vongola boss.

Bana and Kyoko eventually had two children together but have yet to retire from the Mafia police. With more and more people mastering the power of the dying will flame the call for such an organisation is greater than ever before.

Enma travelled to China with Fon to full embrace the martial arts style of life. It has been years since he has spoken to his friends in the mafia but as his senses sharpened he can still feel them each and every day. That is enough for him to smile.

Gon made an attempt to become a professional darts player. He failed because he destroyed the board each time he threw the dart. Regardless of his low position in society he is happier than ever before.

Ellen and Kara lived together peacefully for many years. While Ellen retired Kara played to her strengths by becoming an instructor in swordplay. To this day her students get annoyed about her insistence that the sabre will always be stronger than the sword.

Yaru and Sakura live in the countryside in an isolated position, as far away from others as they can get. Together they take of Lucy and try to build up her mental strength. Sakura makes money for them by playing music, for that music she has become world famous.

Bermuda returns to guarding the Trinisette, with so many users of the dying will flame in the world he concludes that it would be truly be disastrous if they fell into the wrong hands.

Tsuna and Dokuro's House

In the rear garden Dokuro sits in a wooden chair, wrapping herself tightly in homemade jumper, it is cold tonight but that fails to make her go inside. She sits contently watching as her husband and daughter talk a few meters away.

"Was it this difficult for you" Shiro asks as she focuses on the dying will flame in her hands.

"Yeah" her father replies, "I was in a rush too, Mr Reborn and Xanxus made sure I did it within one week".

"One week" Shiro gasps, "Mr Reborn was a really harsh tutor".

"Well that's true" Tsuna sighs as he thinks to his old tutor. He hopes that if there is a heaven that Mr Reborn got those easy students and that beach he always hoped for.

"He was great in his own little way though" sighs the former Vongola boss, "Just like everyone can be if you give them a chance".

"Ah I think I've got it" Shiro yells excitedly as the flame begins to flicker in her hands.

The daughter of the 10th Vongola boss flickers between the plus and zero states for about ten seconds before she takes a deep breath and moves into the minus state.

Shiro exhales the air from her lungs as she slowly moves from the minus state back to the zero state, "Nothing happened" she notes.

"Well you weren't in a fight so I wouldn't expect it to" Tsuna smiles.

"But that is what it right".

The 10th Vongola boss continues to smile at his daughter. "Yeah, there is no mistaking it Shiro…".

"You are definitely… mafia".

Thank You Note

Thanks to everyone who has read and reviewed this story. It's taken a lot of my time but I really have enjoyed myself.

I apologise if at any point the story didn't go the direction that you were hoping or if I irritated you by killing your favourite character. I will admit I killed one or two.

Still I felt it was important to take this story in a direction I found interesting and personally when I've gone back through my own story I have always smiled and found that I can at least entertain myself. I suppose that is always a positive.

If by some miracle there is anybody who wants a sequel I might write a shorter story about Shiro's generation eventually.

Should that not happen I'm going to begin working on other stories from different areas.

Regardless of what happens though, once again I would like to thank you for reading.

Knowing that someone else has enjoyed the story makes it all worthwhile for me.

See you whenever.

Me.
