"You're going to be destroyed by my hands." He said holding the blade in a vice like grip, "even if I have to destroy myself along with you."

"That's something I haven't heard before." The man hissed, "but you'll be singing a different tune soon enough."

He lunged forward as Tsuna slashed the blade at the man's arm. He howled as he jumped back and grabbed it to his chest. Tsuna merely winced and stood his ground. "I already told you that I would destroy myself if it was necessary." He yelled to him, "and we've both already screwed up the world enough as it is."

Tsuna lunged towards him slashing at the arm again, this time cutting it clean off. He hardly noticed as his own arm fell to the ground beside him. "Tsuna you have to stop this!" Yamamoto yelled, "if you can't attack him they we will."

"It doesn't matter who attacks him," Tsuna replied, "I'll still be taking the damage, but I'm not letting him get away with this."

He stared at Mochida on the ground, "alert the medical staff that someone is in critical condition and they need to come as soon as possible. I'll take care of him."

They nodded in understanding and continued the first aid that Gokudera had already begun.

"Are you crazy!" The man screamed, as he dodged Tsuna's attacks.
"You attacked my people! You're not going to leave here alive!" He screamed, "it's my duty as the tenth head to take down anyone that threatens my family and friends!"

The man continued to defend himself without trying to attack back. "Why did you do this to me!?" He suddenly screamed, "why did you have to turn me into this monster!?"

Tears stung in his eyes, "you could have just drank my blood, or killed me."

The man seemed to gaze at him in boredom. "I already told you, I wanted to take control of the boss of Vongola."

"But that can't be it?!" He screamed, "this was cruel! I'm 14, I haven't even lived yet."

"You'll get no sympathy from me." The man sneered, "Immortality does things to the mind that you can't even imagine you'll have to see it for yourself."

Tsuna clenched his teeth as he jumped away from him. "Come on, Breathe!" Gokudera grunted behind him. "God Damn it! Come on!"

Tsuna let out a shuttery breath. "This ends now." He hissed, spreading his wings out and using them as leverage.

He moved toward the man faster than he's ever moved before and swung the blade overtop of him. The man held up his good arm and deflected it out of his hands to the side. Blood flew out of both of their mouths as Tsuna pulled his clawed hand out of his abdomen. "You sneaky bastard." He hissed, hitting him backwards towards his friends.

"Tenth!" Gokudera yelled, dragging him back.

"It's over." Tsuna sighed, wiping his lip with a soft smile, "what about Kensuke? Is he okay?"

"He stopped breathing and his heart stopped." Yamamoto whispered, still holding his phone, "I'm sorry Tsuna."

"You did your best." He replied reaching out his hand and clasping Mochida's hand in his own.

"You need to inform Reborn about everything." he stated, his eyes not leaving the still boys, "he'll take care of it."

"There's still time to save you Tsuna!" Yamamoto yelled.

"If you save me, you save him." Tsuna replied, "and he won't stop for anything."

The man had fallen on his front panting hard. "It's the end for both of us."

"Tsuna, those wings-"

"It's weird isn't it?" Tsuna laughed.

"They're turning white." Yamamoto stated, stunned as the black seemed to flake off of them like ashe.

The pure white feathers underneath were almost ethereal especially in the carnage around them. "Wow," Tsuna hummed in delight.

The man grunted in distaste from across the room. "What do you want now?" Tsuna hissed.

"You have white wings." He stated curiously.

"Yes, we all have eyes." He replied sarcastically.

"I have to hand it to you, I've lived a long time and I've never actually seen that happen before. I've only heard of it." He stated, "it only occurs to someone who has saved everyone."

"You're being absurdly cryptic for someone who's going to die very soon and never be able to explain." Tsuna snapped again.

"You saved everyone." He shouted impatiently, "you're family, you're friends, your boyfriend or whatever, even me and you."

Tsuna stared at him in confusion before he laid his head back down to the ground in acceptance.

"I did it Kensuke." He whispered, clutching onto the hand tighter, "I was able to save everyone I guess. I don't know how I saved you though."

"You saved me from myself."

"Kensuke?" Tsuna yelled in surprise, jumping from the ground and grabbing him in a hug, "wait."

"I'm dead aren't I?" He asked.

"You mean we're dead." Mochida laughed, grabbing his hand and tugging away from his crying friends, "It's time to go now though."

Tsuna nodded with him as they walked side by side. "Dying kind of scary but it also means something else." Tsuna said softly, "It's also means I'm free."

A/N: I think this was one of my oldest continued stories that I worked on. About six years in the making and two years since I updated last. It's been a while, and I apologize for the super long hiatus I guess but I haven't really done for fun writing since I started University. Anyways, thanks to everyone that stuck around since the beginning, it's been fun but I think it's time to put this one to rest.
