Second Life

Trial

"Do it! Do it! Do it!" Tsuna's eyes widen, images flashed in his mind vividly.

"Just spare my life! If I die.. My kid.. My wife" A man surrounded by bloodied bodies plead, but was shot to death in the end.

'What is this? These images are flowing directly into my head'

"Get revenge!" Buildings on fire. "Get them!" A car blowing up. "Wipe them out!" Men in black.

'What? What is this?'

"These are the sins of the Vongola" An almost invisible man with orange mask appeared, follow by nine more, all wearing orange, flaming masks. "Murder, Revenge, Betrayal." One of them started. "The endless pursuit of political power. The history of Vongola Mafia."

"One who holds Vongola's Sky Ring. Do you have the resolution?" Another one continued, making the brunette turned towards him. "The determination to inherit these sin?" Another said. The images flashed again in his mind, the pleads and cries for mercy, the demands for their loved ones and their scream upon death. All were too cruel. Tears ran down his cheeks as he clutched his head.

"These are the sins carried by the Vongola."

"This is the Vongola's history"

"Do not avert your eyes from the truth" "Accept the truth" "You had better have the resolution" "You'd best have the determination to inherit these sins" He couldn't take it anymore. The death, the blood, the demands, all of them.

"No... Stop..." He sobbed. "Stop it!!" He shouted til the ones outside the sphere could here. All of them were getting more anxious, waiting and not losing hope.

"Stop... Stop it!"

"Do not avert your eyes. This is the fate of those who would succeed the Vongola. This is the very reason that you have life." More tears ran.

"No.. I can't do these terrible things!"

"You can't attain the power without paying the proper price" "If you want great power, you must have the resolve to succeed this great history"

Great? How great was it? It certainly wasn't in Tsuna's eyes. "Great history? That's what you call this?" He shut his eyes close tightly. "I don't want the power to do this!" His mother's bright smile appeared, Lambo and I-pin fighting over a piece of cookie, Bianchi and her poison cooking, Fuuta humming while reading his ranking book, Haru, Yamamoto, Gokudera, Onii-san, and Kyoko-chan. The ever so bright Kyoko-chan, suddenly sadden by what had happened.

"Don't try to act so noble" He remembered Reborn had once said. "You're not capable of being a hero. Returning everyone to the pass? Enduring training to defeat the enemy? Such noble ideals aren't really like you. Your feelings back then were much more simple. When you first lit the ring, what did you want to do?"

He wanted to simply protect Kyoko-chan. He want to protect everyone. "No.. I thought I could do anything to protect everyone. But I.. I don't want this kind of power!" He declared, surprising the masked men.

"If you're going to make me succeed all of these mistaken action, I'll destroy the Vongola!"

Upon the declaration, Ryuuichi smirked. He was standing by the sideline in the dark void, looking at the succession to the sin of the ones whom wore the ring. He was suddenly here when he had a mild headache, and had witnessed what had happened. They couldn't see him and hadn't notice him.

He smirk dropped into a soft smile as Tsuna had collapsed onto a pair of arms. It was the Ninth boss of Vongola, smiling warmly at the brunette. The darkness brighten up into the color of the clear blue sky. Timoteo moved away into line, as Tsuna gasp and Ryuuichi was amazed at the sight.
