Amethystgirl1943: …..Hi….It's been like a really long time…..to be honest it is going to be like this forever. So I graduate high school (bless my life), my friends have all betrayed and left me (I have no more friends). I've been dying because of education purposes. I haven't abandoned any of my stories, but I've hit a wall. Like a really big wall. A humongous wall (Hahahahaha whoo boy) I'm sorry. I don't have anything to say but I'm really sorry. I'm a lonely person who yearns for friends /cries. Ah I'm ranting now. Sorry I really am. (Please be friends with me please). So here's the story. Enjoy! Also, I'm very sorry for anything that doesn't make sense. I had my sister look over (bless her heart) it but I'm still not sure. And it is purely my fault not hers. Thank you!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN. BELONGS TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER.

P.S: I might be moving to ao3 who knows. Maybe. Probably. We'll see. Also please look at the author's note at the end.

Enjoy!~

"When I was little, my parents had cared for me once. This memory rarely comes up, but I remember celebrating my birthday with them, having family outings, and playing with them. But when did they stop loving me? What did I do wrong? Is it because I'm useless? I just want someone to care for me."

Tsuna woke up with a start, his eyes still glazed over with sleep. Slowly, he looked at his surroundings. He was in a large room, in a king sized bed, and there was a dresser beside it. The large window had curtains that were drawn closed, but he could see that it was dark outside.

"Where am I….I remember being with Byakuran but where am I now?" Tsuna asked himself softly. He flopped back down in the bed and stared at the ceiling.

The door opened slowly with a click, and peeking through the door was Byakuran. When he looked at the bed, his face brightened up.

"You're awake! How are you feeling? Do you need anything?" Byakuran barraged him with questions, stepping closer to the bed. He knelt before Tsuna, his eyes shining with concern.

"I'm feeling fine, just confused. What happened? I was with you, but how did I end up here?" Tsuna asked.

"You don't remember? You fainted when you were being introduced to everyone. Are you sure you're okay?" Byakuran looked at him worriedly. "Should we go to the doctor's?"

"I'm fine, just confused is all. Because I thought I was in a different room? I remember the room from before was bigger and different. Did someone move me?" Tsuna was puzzled. Because in the last room, there was a couch where he could sleep on. He didn't get why someone would be so nice to him, or why they would bother moving him.

"I moved you because I didn't want you to sleep on the couch. It's not comfortable at all. I want the best for you because you deserve it." Byakuran pulled Tsuna into a hug. "You've suffered so much, you deserve happiness." Tsuna looked at him in disbelief and shock.

"I deserve happiness? But why? I'm useless and that's why no one likes me! THAT'S WHY DAD WANTS TO KILL ME!" Tsuna shouted out, tears starting to pour out of his eyes. His heart was tired of hoping his parents would love him again. He didn't understand why his parents didn't love him, or his family in general. He just wanted to be accepted and loved.

"That's not the reason why your parents don't love you. It's because of the necklace around your neck. The necklace is important, but since it upsets the balance. The Arcobaleno don't like having things they don't understand. But I don't understand why it didn't protect you while I was gone. It was supposed to protect you. Was it because your flames didn't awaken back then?" Byakuran's brain was running around trying to find an answer as to why the necklace hadn't protected Tsuna.

"It was supposed to protect me? Flames, when I lighted the ring in the forest…." Tsuna trailed off. His eyes started to become distant. "My flames were warm, it made me feel safe and….." His eyes rolled back and he collapsed back onto the bed. Byakuran, looking at him with sadness and worry, tucked him back into bed.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protected you. I regret every moment I wasn't there for you. But I'm here now. I can protect you and keep you safe." With renewed determination to protect Tsuna, he left the room. He walked out to the main room where the other members of the Millefiore had gathered.

"How's Tsuna-sama?" Kikyo asked. He had been slightly concerned because Tsuna was important to Byakuran.

"He's fine, just fell asleep again. The most important thing right now is to consider what to do with the pests. Tsuna's family and their followers, if you will." Byakuran smiled coldly. "They hurt him to the point of almost no return. I almost stormed out and destroyed them. But that would make Tsuna sad." Byakuran furiously ranted. He started to munch on marshmallows by the bagful.

"Why don't we just do exactly that Bya-kun! Then the pests won't be there to harm him!" Bluebell cheerfully asked.

"We can't destroy the leader of CEDEF and the heirs to the Vongola Family like that Blu-chan. That would start a war and that's something I don't want to waste energy on. I want to destroy those who had hurt Tsu-chan." His eyes raged.

"As long as I can get some action on those idjits, I'll be fine." Zakuro said, scratching his head. Without another word, he walked out of the room to sleep.

"When should we launch the attack then Byakuran-sama?" Kikyo asked.

"Hmmmm, I don't know, I want to decide later~!" Byakuran sing-songed.

"Will Tsuna-san be fine? Bun-Bun was worried and I wanted to play with him," Daisy quietly asked. He held Bun-Bun tightly to his chest.

"We'll have to call a doctor. I'm worried for his health. Something isn't right and I want to figure out why. Kikyo, call a doctor who isn't Dr. Shamal. He's affiliated with the Vongola and I don't want to deal with traitors right now." Byakuran stated. His hands balled into fists and he sighed in frustration. Tsuna was in pain and he couldn't do anything to help him. It drove him mad.

"Mou Bya-kun, I'm sure everything will be fine. Tsu-chan is tough! For now, let's eat lots and lots of sweet things to make everything all better!" Bluebell ran to the kitchen and brought out a cart full of desserts.

"Byakuran-sama, what kind of doctor are you looking for other than no affiliations with the Vongola?" Kikyo asked. He was currently looking through a list of available doctors.

"The ones that haven't come in contact with the Sawada, Yamamoto, Sasagawa, and Hibari families. One that isn't under their radar." Byakuran hummed in thought.

"As you wish, Byakuran-sama." Kikyo left the room to research further.

"Daisy, would you like to partake in eating all these sweets with us?" Byakuran asked invitingly. Daisy shook his head. It wasn't a command and he felt no reason to stay so he left the room as well. Unaffected, Byakuran laughed happily as he ate the sweets.

With the Sawada family

"Do you know how Byakuran knows Tsuna?" Iemitsu asked. He was sure that he had left no impression of his affiliation with the Mafia at all when his sons were all little.

"I wish we could answer that, Dad, but we ignored him when he was little," Giotto responded regretfully. Both father and son's hearts ached for how neglectful they had been toward Tsuna. Iemitsu shook with remorse. He should've loved them both equally.

"It's fine right now, but I'm more concerned about his health. We're almost home, so we can ask Nana about Tsuna's treatment." Iemitsu thought back to the phone calls he had gotten from Tsuna's doctor.

"I didn't know that Tsuna was sick. How many years did he have to suffer alone? We could have- would have- helped him but chose not to. Why? Why did we neglect him? I regret not helping him at all with the bullies, his homework, and not being there for him like a brother should. I prioritized my friends and status over my own blood. He's my twin and I should've treated him like one." Natsu exploded. He fell to his knees and clutched his shirt. He felt his heart clench painfully, the guilty feelings in his heart overwhelming him. He could have supported his twin but he didn't. He felt burning tears blaze down his cheeks and all Iemitsu could do was pat his back.

"We can't dwell on the past. What's done is done. All we can do it is make it up to him now." Iemitsu clenched his fists as he walked through the door of the Sawada house.

"NANA DEAREST! I'M HOME!" Iemitsu exclaimed as he walked towards the kitchen.

"Dear! Would you like to eat first or take a bath?" Nana asked, beaming up at him. He tilted her chin up and kissed her, and from behind he could hear gagging from Giotto and Natsu.

Iemitsu's immediately wiped off his goofy smile into something more serious. "I wanted to talk to you about Tsuna. When I met him earlier today, he was coughing blood. I remember getting a phone call from his doctor, and I told him that you would handle him. Did you know about his condition?" He asked her. Nana's eyes lowered to the floor and she gestured for Iemitsu, Giotto, and Natsu to sit at the table.

"I've known about his condition for a while." Her hands were wrung her apron anxiously. "When Tsu-kun started coughing up blood, I took him to hospital. When we got the results back, they said he was going to die young. The specialist said that we could prolong his life for just a few more years if he had an operation." A shuddering breath came out of her, "If he had taken the operation, he would have been stuck indoors forever. He wouldn't be able to play outside or go to school." Tears started to pool in her eyes. Across from Nana, Giotto and Natsu's eyes widened in surprise. They hadn't known Tsuna would've been restricted from going outside.

"Nana…I didn't know. But if he had taken to operation he would be happier, because Giotto and Natsu would have been there for him. They would have taken care of him with you, the stress wouldn't have burdened only you." Iemitsu responded, "Tsuna's dying and we-"

"YOU DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT, IEMITSU!? HE DIDN'T HAVE THE OPERATION BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO HIM TO SUFFER! FROM BEING LEFT OUT! BUT IN THE END, I RUINED HIM! HE'S ISOLATED, HE'S SO LONELY, AND HIS DULL EYES THEY PIERCE INTO ME! I KNOW THAT IT'S MY FAULT BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY FROM MY MISTAKE OF NOT SAVING HIM!" Nana wailed, her tears wouldn't stop flowing. Iemitsu pulled her into a hug and tried to comfort her. Giotto and Natsu went over and joined the hug.

"I'm sorry Nana. I should've been there too. I just thought it was a common cold, but I didn't expect it to be this severe. But why didn't you tell Tsuna that it would've kept him bedridden? That you didn't want to see him suffer?" Iemitsu held her by her shoulders gently.

"I couldn't bring myself to say it. When the choice of operation came up, Tsuna looked up at me and his eyes were peering into me. They were so full of life. I-I didn't have the heart to destroy it, but in the end…In the end-" Nana choked on her words. "I was the one who killed his happiness, not the illness," she whispered, her hands cradling her head.

Iemitsu looked at her and sighed. "We all make mistakes, and my mistake was not coming home often, or ignoring him when I was here. We all have a place of blame here. You're not alone." He pulled her into another hug.

"Mom, you aren't to blame for all of this. I could've been more supportive of him, I could've been there for him. I wasn't the perfect big brother to him. Only to Natsu," Giotto admitted. His heart ached at the memory of when Tsuna was alone while he played with Natsu.

"I'm the same. We're twins, but I wasn't acting like one. I treated him like a stranger, as someone I didn't care about. I chose to let him suffer. I could've prevented him from getting hurt by all the bullies. I let him get hurt because I didn't want to be seen with him. I wasn't caring to him at all. I just let him suffer, and now I regret it every moment I don't see him. That's he with a monster!" Natsu sobbed his words out. He felt a hand comfort him.

"It's alright. We all made mistakes to him, but we can't sit here feeling sorry for ourselves. We'll get Tsuna back and make it up to him," Iemitsu reassured. They all nodded, wiping away the tears that they shed. They all hugged together in comfort and thankful to have each other.

Outside, there was a small camera hovering near the window capturing every moment. On the other side of the lens, a person sat watching them with scorn.

"Hmm, this is interesting! They have regrets for treating Tsuna badly…This could be used to my advantage," Byakuran laughed. He would make sure that Tsuna would never see this video.
