Tsuna was panting heavily, glaring at the sneering man in front of her. She clutched her badly cut side and held back a cough in order to speak.

"You bastard, why would you do something like this? What did the Vongola ever do to you?" Tsuna choked out, her voice starting to fail her. The man laughed tauntingly before walking up to the bleeding girl and seized her neck roughly, choking her.

"I'll tell you why, the Vongola has been looking down on the Esposito Famalia for years and I won't have any more of it! I've already killed your guardians and allies and now I'm ready to kill you to prove I'm stronger!" The boss of the Esposito Famalia laughed with a maniacal glint in his eyes, scaring his captive.

Tsuna was already half-dead and knew that in the next moment, she'd go be with the people she held dear, the people she'd let down and watch die. She felt the tears spill down her face and whispered one last thing before the man silenced her.

"I'm sorry, mina"

Everything was quiet. Tsuna could have sworn she died, but nothing was happening, was this death? An eternal abyss of nothingness?

"Why of course not, Tsunayoshi-chan~" The familiar voice echoed in the darkness, "You haven't passed on to the afterlife just yet~"

"B-byakuran?" Tsuna slapped her hand up to her mouth when she realized that she had spoken then looked down to see her body, perfectly intact. "H-how?" She looked around for Byakuran, wondering if she imagined it.

Suddenly, two pillars of Sky flames appeared in the darkness, glowing for a few moments until the pillars disappeared to reveal the other two holders of the Tri-Ni-Sette.

"Hello, Sawada-san."

"Yo, Tsunayoshi-chan~"

Tsuna's eyes widened impossibly wide, "Y-yuni! Byakuran! You're both alive!" Yuni sighed at Tsuna's words.

"You're wrong, Sawada-san. We died just as you did," Tsuna looked at Yuni in confusion while Byakuran decided to explain the rest, "This is a kind of limbo created by the Tri-Ni-Sette for us to speak to each other."

"Limbo?" Tsuna asked, "So I'm actually dead? Everyone else is really dead? I really couldn't protect my family?!" Tsuna felt like someone had just given her a million weights to carry and she was about collapse.

Byakuran threw his arm around Tsuna's shoulders and grinned his usual grin, "Don't worry Tsunayoshi-chan~ We can still save them~"

Tsuna looked up at him in hope, tears starting to flow out, "R-really? We can bring them back?"

"Nope!" Byakuran said, almost causing Tsuna to burst into tears.

"Now now, you shouldn't tease her like that!" Yuni scolded Byakuran before turning her head back to Tsuna, "Don't worry Sawada-san, we may not be able to bring them back, but we can do something to keep this from happening." Tsuna looked at Yuni hopefully.

"You see," Byakuran explained, "The Esposito Famalia was from another world and used the knowledge from that world to beat you." Tsuna frowned.

"Kind of like how you did?"

"Yep~"

Yuni stepped in to finish for Byakuran, "You see, Sawada-san, if we send you to the world that they came from, you can stop them before they do anything wrong." Suddenly Yuni frowned, "But the problem is, you don't exist in that world and there is another Vongola Decimo."

Tsuna stared at Yuni in shock, "I don't exist? Then how will I go there? There's no way I'm in any shape to do anything! I won't even have a body!" She was devastated, she had a way to save everyone but that chance was taken away before she even got to do anything.

Tsuna was about to start crying, but once again, she was stopped by Byakuran's words, "Don't sweat it~ We can use the power of the Tri-Ni-Sette to form a body. And you might not be Vongola Decimo, but you'll still be powerful enough to fight back and you'll start out as a five year old so you'll have plenty of time to train and learn new techniques that the enemy won't know about~"

Tsuna thought about it, "What about my family and friends? Will I still be able to see them?"

Yuni shook her head, "No one but us and mother will have any memories of this," Tsuna looked crestfallen, but brightened up at Uni's next words, "But over time, the Tri-Ni-Sette will be able to give them their memories from this life."

"You'll be taken in by my family and we'll arrange things so that we all grow up together," Byakuran told her, "That way we can keep an eye on each other and make sure that the Tri-Ni-Sette is working fine." Tsuna repressed a shudder at the thought of growing up with Byakuran, but then she realized something.

"Byakuran, what do you have to do with the Tri-Ni-Sette? I thought that you don't have the Mare ring anymore." Tsuna asked remembering that the Arcobaleno made sure to keep him away from it.

"I may not have it, but the me from that parallel world does~" Byakuran said, rather cheerfully.

Tsuna narrowed her eyes but Yuni quickly spoke up, "Don't worry, Byakuran will not use its power the same way he did in the future."

Tsuna relaxed and smiled at Yuni, "That's good." Byakuran pouted.

"What? You don't trust me, Tsunayoshi-chan?" Byakuran whined. Yuni sighed and ignored him

"Sawada-san, it's time we get to work," Yuni looked Tsuna right in the eye, "Are you ready?"

Tsuna looked at Byakuran's cheerful face and then back into Yuni's eyes.

The Vongola Decimo nodded.

Yuni smiled gently while Byakuran grinned even wider.

"Well then, let's get started~" Byakuran's voice was the last thing Tsuna heard before the sky flames surrounded the three of them.

A seven year-old Byakuran was pulling his mother out into the garden, "Byakuran sweetie, is there something in the garden?" The child didn't answer.

The women sighed, her child had just woken up from a strange dream or something and now he was pulling her somewhere.

They got to the middle of the garden and just when the mother was about turn back to the house, her son let go of her skirt and ran forward. She sees him stop at a small lump on the ground and her eyes widened when the lump turned out to be a small unconscious girl lying on the grass.

She rushed to girl's side where Byakuran was sitting calmly, with a smile on his face, as he watched his mother look for any visible wounds and call for the doctors.

Well then, I started my second story. I hope it's good! So basically, Tsuna and everyone else "died" and now they are using the power of the Tri-Ni-Sette to send Tsuna to a parallel world that the bad guys came from in order to beat them and prevent them from doing the bad stuff they had done. Byakuran, Yuni, and Aria have their memories and will help Tsuna. By the way, there will be a bit of twist concerning Tsuna's existence in that world. I'll give more information on the Esposito Famalia in latter chapters. Oh um, I have no clue what Byakuran's last name should be, so if you guys could help me out with that… And I didn't know exactly how old Byakuran was, so I'm making him two years older than Tsuna in this story.
