A/N: So I couldn't resist to write one up for Giott…er Ieyasu I mean. He kept little Tunafish company in his travels. Although this is more like a prequel for The Will To Go On (also a hint of the future third/last story in the Out of Time universe).

Disclaimer: Nooope, I don't own Reborn. Not even before the copyright laws were passed.

EXTRA
Troublesome Sky

Alaude came rushing as fast as he could, but it was too late. What he saw was the something he will never expect from the former Vongola boss. He knew as a fellow best fighter, that the blood that covered Giotto was from the enemy.

Giotto acknowledged him before looking up at the sky with a blank look. Alaude felt a shiver go up his spine when he caught Giotto's quick glance at his direction; his eyes blazed an ethereal golden glow with so much power than before. It would seem that while Giotto no longer is the boss of the growing Vongola Famiglia, he still wields power.

Hours earlier, Alaude heard about a possible attack on his fellow guardians from some contacts. The new hotshot Famiglia had state of the art technology that may overcome flames and spell trouble for the former Vongola guardians.

Normally he would careless since Giotto is there, but their boss been acting absentminded as of late. He wasn't worried, but he couldn't risk of losing one of the rare opponents that satisfy his bloodlust. Which is why he scowled when he saw large flames, burning down a hard material building. The thing about that hard material of the building is that he had read the reports of how this rare material of the mansion was practically fireproof. So he had suspected that flame attack from the enemy Famiglia. His suspicious were half right, it was powerful will flames, they had not had a chance; as in the other Famiglia that is. It was a massacre as Giotto stood tall among the ashes of his enemies.

He glanced over the knocked out fellow guardians, who were behind a vanishing sky flame shield. He frowned that he can sense the shield give off flames that was different than usual.

"My word…" Knuckle just arrived from a mission and had rushed after Alaude to the meeting place. He looked around.

"Knuckle," Giotto's voice seemed to vibrate into their very being, "are they alright?"

Knuckle looked unsure and prayed that he meant his fellow guardians and not the dead ashes of the Famiglia. Alaude growled at him and signaled to G, Asari, and Lampo.

Alaude look over his boss again and noticed Giotto's eyes had a slight fear come over him when Knuckle took his time to check them.

"You got them all?" Alaude asked to distract his boss. He never liked how Giotto worries tend to go overboard and with G knocked out, it will seem it's up to him to calm him.

"Upper echelon escaped," Giotto frowned in deep concentration as if having trouble thinking and took a deep breath with his eyes close. His dying will waned to nonexistence after a long minute. When he opened his eyes, it flickered gold to blue constantly as he went on with effort, "and a couple of low grunts."

"Hn?" Alaude glared at his boss. He really isn't surprised Giotto still has trouble controlling his flames, they recently spike to almost uncontrollable with all the problems he had to deal with. Losing his best friend who went into hiding, Vongola changing its ideals to mafia agenda and betrayed by him. It's still a wonder Giotto is still with them smiling for them (though as of late, Giotto has been acting strange).

"Lost…control…"Giotto gritted out as he massage his forehead.

"Been doing that as of late," Alaude frowned, "You know you cannot do much for that trait-"

"Is not that Alaude," Giotto smiled sadly and looked over to Knuckle.

"JUST SLIGHT BURNS, COUPLE CONCUSSIONS, BUT THEY'LL LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER BLESSED DAY!" Knuckle grinned, but strained when Giotto didn't smiled back. In the contrary, he looked guiltier than before. Then his face turned blank.

"Giotto," warned Alaude, but the former Vongola boss ignored him and flew off. Unfortunately for Alaude, Giotto has gotten faster than he remembered and couldn't catch what direction his boss took.

He hopes Giotto isn't going to plan to do something rash like run away or something. He needs explanations of what is going on in that head of his.

Giotto made sure to leave the note where it can be seen. He can't have his family burn down Italy fearing that he was kidnapped or something. He made a deal, but realized he paid too high of a price. It's like everything he does just doesn't turn right.

Created a vigilant group, turned around and it became a mafia famiglia. Tried to fix that problem, Daemon betrayed him and call him weak. He saved his best friend from being killed by his enemies, said friend decide to go hiding to protect his famiglia and Giotto. And now with his flames became too powerful, Giotto made a deal…

He shook his head. What is done is done.

Quietly, he left their little house of their retirement of being…mafia in the woods. Oh how much he loathes what became just a large family who protect each other and bring hope to the weak turned to the very beings he fought against.

I must leave since I cannot burden them with my lack of power. It's for the best, they move on eventually, otherwise I'll make another mistake that might as well kill them.

Giotto, the former boss of Vongola left Italy in search of finding himself again, leaving his precious family behind, unable to bare to say goodbye.

Giotto stopped paying attention where he is traveling after the first week (or was it two? He lost count after the third day), though he made sure to not leave a trail. He has yet taken a bath and hoped his blond hair loses its color because of it since it tends to stand out among the black haired crowds.

He had joined many caravans between towns until he reached the sea. Only then did Giotto sighed in relief.

There had been rumors that a distant large island with samurais will be closing their borders soon. Giotto believed that will be a good place to live. The less boats travelling such a place, the less trading; meaning less chance of information of his final destination.

Unfortunately, the last boat of the day were accepting no one. Giotto used his nonexistent sneaking skills to break into the cargo bay. He was very surprised how easy it was.

It seems the people on the boat were taking the long route or something when supposedly couple of days turned into weeks. This was a blessing in a way though. Giotto use this time to familiarize with the Japanese language and its complexities.

One day as he slept hidden near a tuna crate, a cabin boy was sneaking near the said crates to steal a fish. He saw the blond stowaway. It went downhill or in this case overboard for Giotto.

The former Vongola boss was not panicking. Oh no, it's just a new swimming technique he is trying out…

Who is he fooling?

Giotto was thrown overboard once he was discovered, something of a crazy blond demon or simply because he had no money to pay for the trip. Making matters worse, the day his luck run out included a horrible storm that some will say one of the worse typhoons. The poor blond began to lose the battle with the swells in the ocean getting taller by the minute. After much fighting he began to embrace the darkness as he began to drown.

Of course, he just when he decided to accept his fate, something tugged his tunic and was pulled out of the water like a flying fish. He looked below as an elderly man stared in shock, but his sight was drawn to the young beautiful woman next to him. Then he slammed into the little boat.

Are you an angel?

Apparently he said it out loud, for the minute the question finished he was hit pretty hard. Last he heard was a young woman reprimanding the older man.

Though he wondered, what became of the large storm?

He seriously needs Miku-san to stop following him. He had to (forcefully) turn her down more than once. He is only slightly grateful the elderly man, who turned out to be her father, told him that any terms should he get near his little flower, he will wish he had been still swimming with the fishes.

Easy said than done. But truly the reason he keeps avoiding her is because he never felt such love and passion for such a being, not since he found his guardians who were (are) like his brothers he never had. Which is more reason to not get near her or else she will suffer and he cannot bear to spread his evil luck to her.

She is so kind, beautiful, always off in her own little world at times. She helps her father in fishing while caring the children in the village. Miku also has a sharp tongue when she gets furious.

And yet…

He cannot have her, no matter how she had a tendency to follow him into the outside market. To his house. To the hot spring. The last one was an interesting that surprisingly would be hopefully become a memory they both would laugh in the future.

Miku turned around from stalking him when she notice someone messing with her father. Ah and there is the tongue-lashing to the unfortunate fool who tried to pull one over her father. Guess Giotto better step in, and no, not for Miku who might get hurt, but the idiot getting too scarred from her.

HE WAS GOING TO BE A FATHER!

Giotto or Ieyasu now, to minimize the possibility of his identity reaching to Italy (ne can never be careful."), thinks when his wife, Miku told him the reason for her recent bout of sickness.

He still remembers back while rubbing his arm in ghost pain of how his father-in-law practically tried to murder him with the fishing rod when he gave in to Miku's insistence to go out with her. Nope he will not see the little innocent hook and line the same again.

Or those worms that he kept finding in the weird and annoying places like in his socks or toothbrush. It's hard as it is to find a good toothbrush you know!

But it was worth it and as far as he knows he doesn't regret to even tell Miku of his shady background. After all what kind of marriage have someone keep such a thing from their spouse (he tried not to think he done just that to his family in Italy).

(In the future, for some reason every time Iemitsu lies to Nana about his job, he feels like he is bring dishonor to his family, but he talks himself out of it, claiming it's for her protection)

Within the Vongola Ring…

Primo sometimes have dreams of his life after sealing his will into the ring in return of his living without sky flames.

Giotto is Ieyasu, but Ieyasu isn't Giotto, but Primo isn't Giotto or Ieyasu. He is just a will taking the burden of Vongola's sins.

Ricardo was surprise to see him there when he passed away and his will engraved his place as Secondo.

But he didn't speak to any of the Vongola bosses over the years, decades…a century? Time no longer meant something as he felt the bloodshed of the innocent increase and threaten to drown him. Oh how ignorant he was. He is foolish as Daemon once told him in his dreams.

Then one day a young boy came upon to inherit the Vongola sky ring. A distant descendant who share his younger self's wishes. An innocent boy just like he was, only to be forced to bear the burden that Primo volunteered to bear.

Is it wrong that he gave all the Vongola's power to have the boy fix his mistakes? Or not feel guilty when the ring was destroyed?

Suddenly the sensation of being freed lasted a while and familiar feelings came into being. Well at least now his heir in contact with Shimon's heir, maybe there is hope that everything will be alright…

He was wrong and right at the same time. Wrong that everything will be alright, and right that the boy is so similar to him. Primo began to fear the increasing power of the boy and the lack of control. He prayed the boy wouldn't suffer such a fate to lose his flames if he chooses what Giotto had done. After all the boy already had his flames sealed before and it did not end well at being half-deaf/blind to everything.

He can only hope as the situation worsen when his heir was poofed away to his guardian's pasts. So Primo gave him much comfort as possible. He saw Decimo might just do the same deal with that checkered clothed man as he did.

After the time jumps, his chosen heir did. So Primo made it as formal as possible for it hurt so much to see this young boy giving up part of his very being in the name of protecting his family…

Giotto and Ieyasu lived and died while Primo lived on as a will, but now he suffered a fate worse than death. The ring broke, but now there is nothing to link him again to the living world. Sometimes Daemon visits him, but all he sees is darkness smothering him as the years go by.

Primo wonders how his guardians' wills are doing. But most of all how Tsunayoshi is doing with a broken will. Time is broken and can be fixed, but the will is damaged, scarred forevermore.

Primo prays once more for someone to saved Tsunayoshi from himself and the lingering dark flames that touched the boy twice before.

Then he remembers flickers of his dreams of a young man, so like himself which Giotto's wife speaking to him as Tunafish…

A/N: Yesh! *fist pump to the air* another story completed. I will do plans to write The Will to Go: Special which the wills of First gen guardians stalk Tsuna's guardians on adventures before, during and after Tsuna's Inheritance Ceremony time period. I have some plans to what each guardians is up to, but I wouldn't mind some of your ideas.
In the meantime, I am off to finish Toward the True Sky, again (hopefully I can win against the evil Author's block) and prepare my FemTsuna story to upload in October (So excited!).

Merci beaucoup fellow readers! LaniAhava out!
