Moment In Time

Chapter 44

Chapter 44:Father(part 2)

There came a time where Tsuna had to choose an Internal Advisor that would stand at his Left and whisper advice about all things.

Iemitsu Sawada expected that Internal Advisor to be himself, after all he was Tsuna's Father...and whose word could you trust more than your own Father's?

It was for this reason that he was absolutely floored when Tsuna looked at him confused and told him firmly "You are not going to be my Internal Advisor."

His Guardians and Reborn- the only people there to witness the flat statement- were shocked too. They all knew Tsuna hated Iemitsu, but they had expected him to choose Iemitsu as his Internal Advisor not only because he was Tsuna's father but because he had a long time to experience the Mafia World and would not steer Tsuna wrong.

Iemitsu had argued for hours with Tsuna about his decision getting angrier and angrier as Tsuna continuously told him "Absolutely not."

Eventually Iemitsu had snapped and yelled "I AM YOUR FATHER! Who else would you trust this job to?! Who else can you claim as trustworthy and willing to guide you through your years as the Decimo?! To be there with you when you make decisions that will affect the entire Vongola Family?!"

The entire room had dropped in temperature as the Guardians and Reborn watched Tsuna lower his head to shield his eyes with his hair. Each Guardian had a tightening grip on their weapon as they fought their emotions, and Reborn tightened his grip on Leon as he fought not to step between Iemitsu and Tsuna and shoot Iemitsu in the head.

The only thing that stopped Reborn and the Guardians from moving was they recognized the signs that Tsuna had passed angry and was now furious.

Iemitsu- who hadn't been there for his son enough to know the signs- missed them completely and took the lowering of his son's head as surrender. "As you can see I am your only choice and you-!"

Tsuna's head snapped up to pin Iemitsu with furiously burning sunset orange eyes that made Iemitsu stop talking. Then the aura had been unleashed from its tight control and Iemitsu was floored a second time as he found himself simultaneously straitening under the aura like he would under the Ninth's 'You've crossed a line and now you've made me very angry' aura and having issues breathing as the aura pressed against him. He found himself thinking"When did Tsuna get so powerful?!"

"With all due respect- which isn't much mind you- I do not find you 100% trustworthy. Especially in anything regarding guidance. You were never there when I was younger. You were not there for my fist words, for my first steps. You were not there when I was frightened or when Mama cried because you missed a Birthday, Anniversary, or Holiday again. You were not there when I needed you help regarding fears, advice, comfort, or just for a kick to the head."

Tsuna's eyes glowed with his fury as he verbally tore apart his biological father. "You. Were. Not. There. Not for anything important. How can I trust you to be here now when I need you? How can I trust you to guide me correctly through anything when you could not guide me through my life? I do not trust you to do this. The first time I saw you in years was shortly after you had given us rings and informed us 'since I gave you those rings you'll be targeted by assassins. Train hard!'"

Briefly his eyes shifted to pin Reborn, who found himself flattered and floored by Tsuna's next words even if he didn't show it beyond a slight widening of the eyes. "I do trust the man that was there through the most insane part of my life to guide me through this Mafia Business. I trust the man that was there to guide me through the changes happening to my life. I trust the man who gave me the ability and confidence to make friends. I trust the man who taught me everything I needed to survive not only the Mafia, but some of life's most important lessons. I trust the person who was there with my when I was scared, when I was hurt, when I needed him. I trust the person who wasn't afraid to tell me I was being and idiot and then stayed there to patiently show me how not to be. I trust the man that taught me the meaning of family. I trust the man who acted as a father in every way that mattered where you failed. You will not be my Internal Advisor. Reborn will be taking that honor if he is willing to agree."

Reborn had honestly never been more proud of Tsuna then in that moment as he stepped forward and removed his hat, placing it over his heart and bowing his head as he told him "I spent a long time preparing you for this job Decimo. I will be honored to stand at your side and guide you through your reign as well."

Tsuna had bowed his head to Reborn in return before pinning Iemitsu with blazing eyes and hissing "Now get out."

Iemitsu had finally snapped out his shock and was opening his mouth to verbally snap back at son when his Guardians and Reborn closed ranks around him blocking him from view and interrupted his rant before it could begin.

"Kufufu...Tsunayoshi-kun told you to leave." A trident materialized in Mukuro's hand as he pinned Iemitsu with silently angry eyes.

"The Omnivore gave you an order Herbivore. Leave or I will bite you to death."

"The Decimo told you to leave Iemitsu. Leave, and send Basil or Lal in you place from here on." Reborn stepped forward with the others and herded an angry shocked Iemitsu out of the Vongola mansion telling security to keep him out from here on unless told otherwise by the Decimo, his Guardians, or Reborn.
