Ugh! We're so sorry to do this and not update on Vongola Dorm House but we've already written like five whole chapters to this story and we just had to post it. We love the thought of Colonnello and Lal Mirch taking care of little Tsuna so much because its so cute and just plain adorable!

We do not own KHR, we only own the plot to this story.

Enjoy!

Sawada Iemitsu is a man full of success. He was handsome, charming, charismatic, smart, and he had a good job as the very top of Consulenza Esterna Della Famiglia. If that wasn't enough, he had one more thing that made him special; He was a descendant to the one who created what was now known as the world's strongest Mafia. The Vongola Famiglia.

Yes. The Vongola is one of the world's strongest and most influential mafia famiglia that the world has ever known. Within the shadows of the Vongola stood the CEDEF branch, they worked with the Vongola in an independent light to see through threats in other famiglias and report it back to the current Don, the ninth inheritor to the throne of Vongola; Timoteo. The job was fulfilled each time, and with the CEDEF's help, the Vongola stayed strong and firm at the top.

The CEDEF's current leader; The Young Lion; Sawada Iemitsu, is one of the best. With his strong will and powerful flames, nothing could stand a chance against the man. He was highly respected and praised for all his hard work. So, for all of the work he has done to keep the famiglia strong he was allowed, and forced, to go on a vacation and return to his home land of Japan.

Iemitsu wasn't exactly thrilled by this outcome. He much preferred to be in his office! To the room where he can look over reports and ensure the quality of their work! His sanctuary where anyone could access him in case of emergency. His stronghold where he can plan their next course of actions should a famiglia go against the Vongola. The job was stressful, and he doesn't quite trust his subordinates to handle the job as well as he can.

Now don't get him wrong! He cares and respects his subordinates! But... sometimes they worry him. He was worried that the job of the Boss would be too much for them to handle. He is confident that Lal Mirch can keep them in line like she said, but that doesn't mean that a certain leader of CEDEF can't get worried about his subordinates from time to time while sitting first class in an air plane heading for Japan, right?

Anyway, He sincerely fought to stay in his office. But one word from Nono told him that he could not get out of this predicament. For Iemitsu, who lost both his parents at the young age, Timoteo is someone, he felt, was like a father to him. It was simply impossible to go against the gentle Don.

Looking out the window of the airplane, he can still recall the event that lead to this.

"Boss, please go on a vacation." The first one to speak, was Oregano.

Iemitsu was looking through files when Oregano spoke up. He had been in the middle of making sure that a certain famiglia, that the Vongolawere forming a pact with, is worth trusting. Though Nono had claimed that everything would turn out fine, they could ever be too careful. After all, none of them have ever heard of the Bovinos before. He looked up from his paperwork and stared at the woman before him who wore a very serious look on her face.

"What?" was the only word that came out of his mouth.

"I asked of you to take a break, and go back home to Japan for a while" Oregano said.

Iemitsu sighed. "This isn't funny Oregano, I'm far too busy to take a vacation. The Vongola has just recently made a pact with a different famiglia, and I have to make sure that everything about this is sa-" He was about to say when Turmeric arrived and practically shoved a cellphone to the man's face.

Iemitsu stared at the phone before slowly taking it from the other man. He pressed it against his ear. "Hello?" he asked in a slightly confused voice.

"Iemitsu I order you to go get a vacation. You are working far too much for any of our liking." The voice had belonged to none other than their very own Vongola Nono.

"But Nono, I can't just suddenly abandon my position!" Iemitsu tried to reason.

"Oh nonsense, your workers are more than capable of handling themselves and if anything happens we'll personally call you to come back but until then I want you to enjoy your vacation for as long as you possibly can. Good day, son." With that the line had been cut and Iemitsu was left there just sighing. Timoteo may not be his real father but he sure as hell acted like it everyday.

"Nono's right you know."

Iemitsu placed the phone down and looked up towards the voice. "Lal…you of all people know that I can't just go and abandon my place here" he said with a tired look.

"Relax. I'll be taking your place as the boss while you're somewhere out there, enjoying yourself." She said. "Iemitsu you're still young. You shouldn't be locked up in this place, working all the time…" she reasoned with him.

Lal Mirch. She was one of the most trusted allies Iemitsu considered as a friend. The woman was not only working for CEDEF but was also a former mentor of Commando Raggruppamento Subacquei Ed Incursori Teseo Tesei. She was one of- if not the best sniper in the whole word. Her teachings were amazing, but the woman tended to be rather tough towards others with her militarian mindset. Either way she was still someone you wouldn't like to argue with unless you want a bullet to your head.

Iemitsu looked at the people in front of him, and sighed in defeat. With Vongola Nono on his case as well, he had no chance of winning this little war of theirs.

"Fine…I lose."

So, after admitting defeat, he collected his stuff. He then gave his subordinates a small briefing, along with an explanation that Lal Mirch was to be in charge of them while he was gone. Once everything (work passing and congratulations on his vacation included) was done, he was on a plane to Japan; watching a movie while waiting for the flight to land.

Iemitsu sighed. Thinking over it now, his subordinates were all very well prepared to get rid of him from the office. Everything in their battle plan was perfect. Turmeric must have been waiting right outside the door in case he refused, they even got Timoteo to free up the space in his busy schedule for that one call, and Lal was probably stationed close by to deal the final blow to his already weakened resolve. Ganging up on him alone in such a manner was quite unfair, but very effective, it seems.

After packing up, they immediately gave him the address to the apartment they had rented for him in his home town; Namimori. They also said that they've even fully furnished the apartment room for his comfort- heck, they even connected the cable and internet for him. They were all smiling in victory back then, they must have been planning all of this for months, it seems. He had to give them credit for convincing a stubborn man like him and planning this whole trip very thoroughly.

Pulling away from his thoughts, Iemitsu sighed as the movie paused in favor of listening to the announcement of the flight attendant. The plane was about to land.

Now that he was here, there was no turning back. So, he decided to at least try and enjoy his vacation. If he thought about it now, he hadn't been to Japan since he graduated from collage- and that was about four years ago. Nostalgic memories of goofing around with his collage chums came back to him and he couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps this wasn't going to be as bad as he thought.

The forced vacation lasted for four months- that is to say, it lasted until they desperately needed him to come back to work. Something came up with the Vongola that they needed the head of CEDEF to attend to, and not just a stand-in like Lal Mirch.

Iemitsu couldn't deny that it had been the best four months of his life! So much so that the only movies he watched in the plane back to Italy; were that of cheesy love stories. He even hummed Bella Notte as he looked through the files they had sent him through the fax machine.

Why was he acting like a total goof for, you ask?

Well...

During the first day of his arrival, Iemitsu had fallen in love.

Yes, Love!

The whole ordeal had gone like this:

Iemitsu was trying to find the place he would be staying during his vacation period- when someone had caught his eyes.

Who you may ask?

A young, beautiful, brunette woman with long waist length hair, and a pair of happy chocolate brown eyes. She was humming as she swept in front of a rather large apartment building. It had been a hot summer day, but the woman simply continued to work and smile while humming a soft little tune. Suddenly, those beautiful eyes landed on him with what looked like confusion in them, and the small blush suddenly appearing on her flawless skin just made her look prettier than she already was.

In that moment, one thought flooded Iemitsu's head; Good lord above, she's adorable.

"M-may I help you…?" she stuttered out to Iemitsu.

That was when he finally snapped out of his thoughts and unconsciously handed the woman the paper with the address.

Not so much as a "hi" or "hello" or "good morning!", no. Iemitsu, the idiot, handed her the piece of paper without a word.

Smooth, man. Real smooth.

The woman took it, read the contents and smiled at him (Iemitsu nearly fainted). "You're the new resident living here starting today!" she said.

Iemitsu rubbed the back of his head. "Are you the land lady?" he had asked her.

The woman shook her head. "Oh no no no! I just clean around the apartment to help bring down my rent." She said as she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. "My name is Nana. Tadokoro Nana." she introduced herself.

Even her name was the most beautiful thing Iemitsu has ever heard. "I'm Iemitsu. Sawada Iemitsu" he introduced himself.

From then on the two began to see each other often. Everything started from morning greetings, to an invitation for coffee, to a stroll in the park, to watching a movie, and to finally going on an actual date. By the time Iemitsu's vacation was over, it was very hard to leave her behind in Japan, but the code of the mafia was Famiglia before Family; which includes those he loved... but before he actually left, Iemitsu proposed to Nana.

She agreed with tears in her eyes.

Their wedding came in three months. After getting permission from Timoteo, meeting Nana's parents, planning a grand yet simple wedding, and inviting his closest co-workers plus Colonello, one of his close friends. They came and congratulated him- though none of them would have ever thought, in a million years, that he would come back from his vacation engaged.

Soon Iemitsu was a married man and Nana was a Sawada.

After the wedding came their honey moon in Venice, Italy. After the honey moon, they moved into a house in a peaceful part of Namimori. Not soon after that, they were suddenly expecting a child!

As happy and ecstatic as they were to find out about having a child, a symbol of their love for each other… things took a turn for the worst.

The months came, went and the day Nana's water broke arrived. They rushed her to the hospital where she and Iemitsu were taken to the delivery room. Hours passed by, and the baby came out as a healthy boy! But… Nana wasn't as lucky as their son.

No one could quite explain what had happened. None of the doctors could tell him what went wrong.

She had been healthy during the delivery, and had been recovering throughout the night as Iemitsu told everyone he knew, that he now had a son.

He was gone one, maybe close to two hours… But when he came back into the hospital room. She was no longer responding.

They told him it must have been relapse, but that simply couldn't be… could it?

She died that night, and Iemitsu lost his wife in exchange for his son.

They had the funeral a week after, with Iemitsu grieving the most. Nana's parents thanked Iemitsu for taking care of Nana and for loving her dearly, but Iemitsu was far too devastated to listen to them. His friends pat his back and some asked what happened to their child.

The boy was named Tsunayoshi, as Nana had wanted to name him that. Iemitsu told everyone that he died along with her, to accompany her in the sky above.

Though, in truth, Tsunayoshi was healthy and well. He may have not been sane when he told everyone that and he may have been consumed in too much grief but he didn't care at the least. He wanted their only son to accompany Nana where she was so that she wouldn't be lonely. He wanted him to guard his mother in his steed instead of living with him.

So the funeral ended and they buried the body of Sawada Nana with plenty of beautiful white flowers. Each blossom were very pure, just like the woman had been when she was alive.

The month after was torture for Iemitsu. He took care of his son in secrecy, and every night he took a knife in his hands. He would point it to the boy, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to follow through. Not when the child looks at him with those big brown eyes. His eyes looked just like his mother's, they looked just like Nana's. He took almost all of his features from Nana. Brown hair as soft as silk, brown innocent eyes that just sparkled whenever the baby would gurgle in happiness, and that bright smile that lights up the whole world.

How could Iemitsu end the child's life with his own hands, his own flesh and blood no less!

In his life as a Mafioso he had never tried to harm a child before. It was against the saying of Vongola to kill children, and he just couldn't do something horrible to a baby who was only a few months old. But Iemitsu had promised his wife's grave to make sure that her son would join her. So that she may be able to hold her baby in her arms again.

Soon, Iemitsu was to return to Italy for work. Before he leaves he would do it, he would end the child's life.

It was time.

Iemitsu stepped through the foliage of the forest near Namimori. The air was cold, chilly with the season well into autumn, nearing close to winter. He continued on his tredge through the spindly trees and resistant bushes, trying to go against the cold air and keep alive. He went deep enough, he deemed at a clearing before he placed the basket with the sleeping child onto the grassy ground.

He stared at the child and said to the sleeping babe; "Don't worry son, you'll soon meet your mother."

The boy continued to sleep without ever knowing that his own father was about to leave him to die. Laid inside a basket and left in forest where anything could harm him, if the cold doesn't get to him first.

With the deed done and over with, Iemitsu stood up and glanced at the boy once last time, before he turned around and walked away. He did not look back at the basket with the child, not even as the boy inside woke up and started to cry, he simply continued forward.

It does not take long until he reaches the house he and Nana used to live in. The house where only he now lives. Heading inside, he began to remember different memories of his wife. Each memories are full of happiness. He vividly remembered how she told him of her pregnancy, of how Nana was so excited to see her child. She had wanted to meet him so badly.

"He's on his way, he's on his way" he mutters under his breath, as if telling someone about it.

He went to the kitchen, without bothering to take his jacket off, and made himself a cup of coffee. He sat down on one of the chairs, his coffee left on the table in front of him. He didn't drink it, and was only staring at the window across the table. With each passing second the coffee grew colder, similarly to how the human body gro\ws cold when they've lost all life.

He managed to get his beloved Nana and Tsunayoshi together now. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that, right?

Right?

He sighed and just rubbed at his face a little, before looking out the window again. "I did the right thing didn't I?" he asked no one in particularly, and just closed his eyes. He did it so that the boy would be in the loving embrace of his mother. Even if he kept the boy alive, he would have been dragged into the cold and dark world of the mafia. This was the right choice, this way the boy would not see the horrors of the world with no one to protect him. He continued to think of such thoughts- when a sudden tap on his window got him out of it. He gazed out the window to find it had suddenly began to rain. With the appearance of rain, his whole body began to shake as a voice in his head began speak, it began to reason with him.

'You could have protected him from those that might try to harm him, but all you did was kill him.'

Those very words repeated in his head over and over. As if to curse him over his idiocy, as if to haunt him for his foolishness. A mental punishment for his crimes.

He couldn't take it anymore.

Iemitsu stood up, the sudden action made the table shake and caused the cup of coffee to topple over, spilling its contents onto the table top- but Iemitsu didn't care. He simply took off, and ran straight out the doors and towards the forest where he left his son in the unforgiving rain.

He didn't stop running, even as he was soaking wet from the rain. Nothing could stop him, not the traffic lights, not the truck that almost hit him, and certainly not the angry townspeople calling him names for rushing as he was. His desperation kept him from seeing how much of a commotion he was causing. Adrenaline coursed through his veins as his head was only full of his son, his only son, his own flesh and blood.

He began to see the entrance to the forest, and he ran faster into the forest and called out his son's name. "Tsunayoshi!" he called in a desperate scream, trying to yell louder than the rain poured. He screamed and yelled until his voice was hoarse, that is until he saw the basket he placed his son inside, was toppled over.

"Tsunayoshi!" he called again and grabbed the basket only to find that it was empty. He looked around frantically in the woods and found a trail of blood nearby. It was faint from the rain, but he would never mistake the color of blood. His heart clenched tightly as the weight of his sin truly destroyed him. "What have I done...?" he asked himself as the tears began to stain his eyes. "What have I done to my son, her only son..." he asked himself as he began to sob on the forest floor.

Her son is dead, and it was all his fault.

His fault for not only realizing his mistakes sooner.

His mistake for thinking that his son didn't deserve to live.

His mistake for leaving his son to die.

His mistake for not realizing that he should have been protecting the boy, instead of trying to kill him.

Now it was too late. His son is gone and he will never see him again. He supposed then and there that it was true when people say "You never know what you have until you've lost it." Because here he was. Without his beloved wife, and now without his only child.

Maybe if he had the strength in him to stand back up and search through Namimori again, he would have found a different blond man.

Running through the rain, he kept the bundle in his arms safe and warm, a smile on his face even as the harsh weather beat down on his head, ruining his hair. "Don't worry." the man said. "I'm gunna protect you, kora. We're going to protect you." he said until he was in the elevator of a certain apartment complex.

So this is the first chapter, we just wanted to put here the reason for Iemitsu abandoning Tsuna and we thought the death of Nana was the perfect choice as Iemitsu in the manga and the anime always seemed to care more about his wife more than his son so we decided that in the fit of madness he would try to kill Tsuna but regret it soon after because you know Tsuna is his son after all and he's the only reminder he has of Nana. Also calm yo selves as you will see more Colonnello and Lal in the next chapter.

anyway yeah, reviews are much appreciated and really sorry, we will update Vongola Dorm House and the chapter is almost finish as we are trying to break our streak of 3,500 words and aiming to get at least five thousand words for the extremely late update on it.

Update 2020: We mostly did a grammar update on this. After realizing how atrocious we were when we wrote this. Nothing else really changed, but we do hope it's easier to read this way. It's not to say it's perfect now, but hey, we did our best with our current skill.
