A/N [ 26/6/12 ] : Hello everybody! This story was just at like, the top of my head so yeah... And btw, this is not Yaoi :D

Disclaimer : I... don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn. If I did though, Tsuna would be sooo much cooler and Hibari would be soooooo much more... naked ;D

Summary : Tsuna is to die. It is inevitable. Unavoidable. This story depicts the changes made in his life when he prepares for it. The changes in the Guardians. The Guardians who have served him for 2 long decades and will still continue to do so. These Guardians who want to express any thoughts, confessions, opinions and their undying love for their beloved Sky. *No Yaoi*

Enjoy. Read and Review, thanks.

The day Sawada Tsunayoshi started living ; started enjoying life, was the day he opened his front door to his devil of a tutor, Reborn. And since we all know what happened after that, I'll skip to what happened after that. Yes, after-after-that.

It was a typical day for Tsuna, Vongola Decimo. He'd a busload of paperwork. He'd to take a trip to an ally famiglia to apologise for the damage Kyoya caused. He'd a meeting with the Alliance Council of the Vongola.

Tsuna breathed out a short sigh. He'd never thought he would ever say it but he'd rather go back into the hundreds of life-endangering situations rather than sign another piece of the bloody load of paperwork which stemmed from the fact his temperamental Guardians were so... temperamental. Emphasis on mental.

To make things worse, he had a blinding migraine and god, he was so hot. He loosened his tie and took off his blazer before throwing it onto the ground. Maybe he should call Shamal... He quickly dismissed the thought. The doctor would rather burn in hell than treat a fellow man.

Tsuna looked back at his paperwork before lighting his hand with Dying Will flames in an effort to burn it all. He groaned when the paper remained unscathed. Reborn sure was good. First the waterproof paper, then the inedible paper (a story for another time), and the tracking device paper and now, fireproof paper? He suddenly jumped when a voice burst through via his speaker. 'Tsunayoshi-kun.' It was Irie Shouichi. 'I'm sorry but the fireproof paper was Reborn's idea.' He said, evident mirth heard in his voice. It was obvious Reborn wasn't the only one to come up with that idea.

Tsuna didn't reply, he growled. It didn't seem to have the effect he wanted as Shouichi laughed instead. The two had become good friends after the whole Ten-Years-Jump-Into-The-Future thingy. Shouichi was easy to talk to but he really got way too nervous the first few times Tsuna approached him. He'd had a bad case of stomach aches when finally, Shouichi's stomach seemed to have gotten used to him.

'Whatever, Shouichi.' Tsuna rolled his eyes as he picked up his Mont Blanc pen and continued signing the paperwork, minding to write little notes and suggestions on the side.

Shouichi wiped tears from his eyes, holding his stomach. It'd been a long time since he'd had such a good laugh.

Little did he know it'd be one of the last.

Today is Sunday. It was the last day of their short vacation to Nanimori, Japan. About a week ago, Tsuna, his Guardians and Reborn along with Kyoko, Haru, Bianchi, and I-Pin decided they needed a break. Tsuna was especially ecstatic when he heard. He'd be off paperwork for a while and his Guardians wouldn't do much irrational things in Nanimori where the area was Kyoya's... area. Not only that, it was a sanctuary, a place that Tsuna made sure was safe, under his protection; the protection of the Vongola. Because of that small action, Nanimori was quite literally, crime free.

The perfect place to take a vacation.

Tsuna had been sleeping by the beach, Reborn right next to him. The girls were playing in the sea and the guys - with the exception of Kyoya who was visiting Nanimori-chuu - were playing beach volleyball with some locals. It was a clear win.

Tsuna would've loved to joined them but, he didn't feel all that well. He still had that bloody migraine and it was killing him. And that's saying something considering all the things he'd been through. He rolled over on his beach mat. It was really hot. He got up, stripped off his shirt leaving him in 3/4 pants, it showed his well sculpted body that everyone had the privilege to be privy to.. (A/N : I swear! Everyone blushed! *drools*) He had considered taking off his sunglasses but decided against it. He waded into the sea, making his way to where the girls were feeling a bit woozy.

He took a step and fell into the sea hitting his head hard on a chunk of coral.

Hayato was no better. He almost died. When he saw Jyuudaime go down, he pretty much had a heart attack right there and then. He screamed and ran the 200 meters to Jyuudaime. If he didn't reach in time, Jyuudaime would drown. Takeshi lighted his rain flame and released Jirou, his Rain Dog before transforming it into his - or rather, Ugetsu's - three irregular short swords covered in rain flames and threw it with amazing precision at the area he saw Tsuna go down. The short swords cut through the sea water, splitting it, leaving a path, a hole. It was an opening for Hayato to get Tsuna. Hayato then called Uri, his storm leopard, out and climbed onto her back. She jumped as Hayato grabbed the passed-out Tsuna by his waist. Their teamwork was impressive.

Chrome had created an illusion with the help of Mukuro whereby trapping Kyoko, Haru and I-Pin in their own little world before rushing to help her Boss. Her Boss would most definitely not want to worry the three girls.

'TSUNAAAA!' yelled Ryohei. Unlike the others, he had not seen Tsuna go down but even then, he'd more or less gotten the gist of it. 'Is Tsuna extremely alright? Is he dying?' Ryohei looked at Hayato who just laid Tsuna's body onto the sand.

'... Tsu-nii?' Lambo asked tentatively, shaking him.

Reborn who was watching everything from the sidelines decided to butt in. 'Move aside.' He leaned down putting his ear to Tsuna's chest. A weak heartbeat. It was expected but there was something irregular about it. Reborn frowned. Whatever that was, it wasn't normal.

'... Crowding are we now?' came a familiar cold voice.

Kyoya sighed in frustration. That stupid Omnivore - No, he should be demoted back to herbivore considering what just happened - had just carelessly hit his head and was this close to dying. Okay, so he was exaggerating but even then! When the Omnivore wakes up, Kyoya would be sure to bite him to death.

The herbivores had explained to him what had happened but Reborn, the Carnivore was silent, a brooding look on his face. Kyoya narrowed his eyes at him, a silent question.

It wasn't until a few hours later when Tsuna was in the hospital and they were on night watch that he was able to ask Reborn of it.

'Kyoya. Something is wrong with Tsuna. His heartbeat was... irregular.'

'... That is not unusual. He nearly drowned.'

Reborn was agitated. 'No no, that wasn't it. It was more or a... lack of it. A dull thud. A much slower heartbeat than normal.' Kyoya frowned at this piece of information. Surely it was not that serious. 'If my ears have yet to fail me, I would say it was slowing even further the longer I heard it.' Reborn finished seriously.

It was extremely rare of the cold, emotionless Kyoya to show any which type emotion. Rare but not totally unseen. Kyoya's eyes widened. And for the first time of his life, Kyoya stuttered. 'T-Tsuna... He-Hea-Heart... A f-few weeks ago... Information... Disease... C-cases... D-d-dea...' Kyoya sat down quickly, calmed his erratic breathing. He leaned his forehead against his joined palms. Weeks ago he'd gotten information from his Foundation. The information…

'Reborn.' It was the first time Reborn was called by his name by Kyoya. It made him uneasy.

'Tsuna...' He trailed off.

'Yes, what is it?' Reborn pressed, eager for information.

Kyoya looked Reborn dead in the eye, his voice barely above a whisper.

'He's going to die.'

Hibari was a bit... OOC... but oh well ! :D

So... That wasn't very long... But! It was 1200 words plus plus. It was fun typing ^^

Was it boring? Worth it to continue? Or was it the alright and good enough to continue? I sincerely hope it's the latter.

Drop a review, please. Thank you :D
