My Family

Chapter 19: Son vs. Father

Iemitsu sneered; he was wearing orange, prison clothes.

Tsuna eyed the clothes wearily.

"I hope you didn't kill any policemen, Iemitsu."

The blonde barked with laughter as Tsuna shifted his stance; the brunet furrowed his brow slightly when he felt something brush against his senses once more.

'There it is again...' Tsuna narrowed his eyes slightly. 'Besides his Sky flames...are those...Mist flames?'

"Where are you looking, brat?"

The brunet moved his head lazily to avoid a punch to his face.

Iemitsu grit his teeth when his fist didn't meet its mark.

Tsuna sighed softly before punching the man in the gut, sending him across the rocky clearing.

Iemitsu wiped blood that was trailing down his chin as he glared at Tsuna.

Suddenly, an indigo mist rolled off of the man's body; Iemitsu's eyes were shadowed.

"You..." The brunet narrowed his gaze sharply at the blonde. "Who the he** are you?"

Iemitsu simply stood there before a demented chuckle rang across the clearing; it soon turned into loud laughter.

"You're sharp, brat."

Tsuna narrowed his eyes further as he racked his brains for the voice.

"Once again, who the he** are you?"

Iemitsu lifted his head to reveal completely, black eyes--not a bit of white or brown was seen.

"You wouldn't know me.  I don't really exist..."

Tsuna's mind flashed back to his original world, where Mukuro had came back with a report on a special flame that could work with a mind of its own--and the cause of it all: the Estraneo Famiglia.

'Well...I bet Tou-san is still an idiot, but this flame is just making him evil...' Tsuna's thoughts drifted back to Hiro. 'Could it be the same with that boy too?'

The brunet was thinking this while dodging multiple punches that were being thrown by the possessed Iemitsu.

"Stay still, brat!"

"Yada~!  Bleh~!" (No way~!) 'Maybe I should call for Mukuro?  He can probably help me get this flame out...' He thought of his Guardians sleeping cutely together. 'Nah.  I wouldn't want to ruin that moment.'

Tsuna lifted his hand and caught one of possessed-Iemitsu's fists and proceed to flip the other.

"Natsu."

"Gao!"

An orange glow surrounded Tsuna as he put distance between Iemitsu and himself; the blonde slowly got to his feet, a Sky flame mixed with Mist flames burst to life on his forehead.

"I-I don't w-want to...hurt my T-Tuna-fish..."

Tsuna blinked his sunset-orange eyes in surprise as his Vongola Gear was set into place.

One of Iemitsu's eyes were back to a warm orange while the other remained black; the blonde was struggling to stay where he was.

"...Tou-san..."

Tsuna's gaze softened before he turned a resolved gaze at the man.

"Tou-san.  I'm sorry--this may hurt a bit, but I'm sure you can stand it." 'This is also revenge for leaving your family for so many f****** years.'

Tsuna closed his eyes before opening them; an x-symbol was present in both eyes.

"Operation XX."

"Roger that, Boss."

The brunet flew up into the air as he cross both of his arms in front of him; soft, Sky flames were produced at the ends of his Vongola Gear.

"...200,000 FV...250,000 FV....300,000 FV.  Gauge Symmetry.  Stand by for launch."

Tsuna sighed softly as he narrowed his eyes in concentration.

"XX-Burner."

BOOOOM!

"I-I think you broke my spine, Tuna-Fish..."

Tsuna sighed as he used his Sun flames to help heal his father.

"You'll survive, Tou-san."

"...Was that for leaving the family alone?"

"Yes."

Iemitsu flinched slightly and looked at the ground glumly.

"I..."

"Don't apologize.  But it doesn't mean that I forgive you," Tsuna dispelled his Sun flames as Iemitsu lowered his head further. "Yet."

The blonde perked up at the word.

"'Yet'?"

Tsuna gave a small smile to the man as he helped him up, slinging his arm over his neck.

"I'll give you a chance, Tou-san.  Just don't make the same mistake again, alright?"

"Thank you, Tuna-Fish."

Iemitsu chuckled when Tsuna scowled at the name; they started to make their way down the mountain--the special flame was destroyed.

"Don't call me that, Tou-san."
