The Clash of Present-Past [KHR Fanfic]

Target 4: Horrible Timing (1)

19th Century

Sawada Tsunayoshi was in Italy. (Or to be precise, Southern Italy one hundred fifty years or so in the past)

He blinked. Riiiight.

Italy.

"Sawada-san..." Yuni approached the to-be Decimo, concern swimming in her eyes. "I think it best if you and your family was to go."

"..." Tsuna made eye contact with Yuni and saw something akin to worry and hope, yet there was a certain seriousness that made Tsuna relent. He sighed and pinched his noise. "If Yuni say so... then I guess I have no choice."

"Ne, Tsuna," Takeshi swung an around over the brunet's shoulder, his voice sounding a bit scary. "Don't you mean, 'we'?"

The others agreed with a nod. There was no way they would let their boss be involved in something as dangerous as this alone.

Tsuna placed a frown on his face while looking quite worried. "But it might be -"

"Dangerous," Mukuro cut in, twirling his trident in his hand. "But that's what makes it interesting, no?"

"Didn't think you would agreed to this," Hayato grumbled.

"Kufufu, I have... something in mind."

Tsuna's eyes widen in realization and pointed as if he was reprimanding a kid. "No, Mukuro, no! You will not mess with Daemon!"

At the name, practically everyone perked up and Tsuna saw what he had done.

"Guys! No!" The brunet grabbed a fistful of his hair. "Daemon didn't mean for all of it, understand? He was just looking out for Vongola - although in a twisted way - you can't plan revenge against him! Besides, if it's in the past, he hasn't done anything yet! He is only guilty when he has committed the crime already!"

"Kufufu, you are too forgiving Tsunayoshi," Mukuro commented, but relented on the subject. (He was still going to collect unpaid debts.)

"Anyways," Takeshi brought everyone back to reality. "We're not letting you do this alone."

"That's right," Hayato nodded his head profusely. "It's the right-hand man's duty to follow his boss to the ends of the Earth so there's no way I won't be going with the Juudaime!"

Everyone else gave their respective greetings - and Tsuna was flabberghasted when Kyouya was part of it. (Though the Skylark's motives were the same as the illusionist, just on a different target.)

"Guys..." Tsuna felt warmth bled through his heart at his family's unity. It was moments like this that Tsuna held no regrets in ever being related to a crime syndicate or meeting Reborn.

(Because it gave him a family that he will never trade for anything in the world.)

And so for the sake of the world - again - Tsuna and his guardians had agree to go time-traveling... well, it wasn't something uncommon since they have already went to the future. With the addition of the past, they would have been to all three time-tense - and fought in them.

However...

"We have to what?" Tsuna squawked.

"You'll have to be turned into kids." Verde explained. "It's part of the requirement that we set since children are... well, they have less mass, therefore we'll be able to transport all eight of you without any breakdowns. It's also a good disguise against the enemy."
