Me: *Bows in dogeza style* you guys....I committed a grave mistake. *tears in my eyes* I stopped uploading this story for two years without saying anything, causing you guys to wait that long. This is a sin that I feel ashamed of... as a reader, I understand the pain of waiting for the story you like to update, only to lose hope because there are no signs of the author updating. So, I hope you guys will forgive me for making you wait this long. I have decided that I will make a schedule for updating each of my stories so that I won't neglect any story anymore. I am sure that I won't be able to update every time but I will do my best. So, I hope you guys will enjoy and forgive me. And, as a way to ask for forgiveness, I will do my best to make this chapter very long.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tsuna woke up at around 5 A.M., knowing full well that sleeping any longer would cause her to meet her mother and brother. After all, he mother wakes up at 6 A.M. while her brother wakes up at 7 A.M. When Tsuna was looking at his parallel world's memories, he realized that her family is early risers. After all, school starts at 8:30 A.M. yet, her brother wakes up one hour before. 

Tsuna prepared herself and, when she was done, went to her favorite restaurant - Aciti Restaurant. It wasn't a restaurant, per se, but more of a small diner - warm and cozy. The owner of the diner, Yori Ahira, was a kind, thirty-year-old man. He wasn't bothered by Tsuna's cold attitude and was always friendly to her, unlike other restaurants who either kick her out or is too scared to approach her. This was actually one of the reasons as to why this world's Tsuna love the man - he was like the father she never had.

"Oh!" Yori exclaimed when he saw Tsuna entering his shop, a smile blooming on his face as his blue eyes shone with happiness. "Tsuna!"

"Hello, Ahira-san." Tsuna said politely, a small smile on her face.

"Hahaha." Yori laughed. "No need to be polite, Tsuna. I told you that many times already."

"But your older than me." Tsuna murmured, looking to the side before facing him again. "I want the usual, Ahira-san."

"Sigh." Yori sighed. "Still the same answer huh. Well, wait for a few minutes, I will have your food ready."

"Thanks." Tsuna said before sitting on a random chair, looking outside. Since the sun has not risen, there was no one outside. In fact, this restaurant is also supposed to be closed but being friends with the owner has its benefits.

Tsuna kept looking outside when she noticed two suspicious people wearing cloaks, one taller than the other, approaching the restaurant. She tensed her body, her mind immediately looking for ways to kill the two without blood spilling. Guess being in the mafia for twelve years (he was in the mafia when he was fourteen, taking the throne on sixteen, and dying when he was twenty-six) made him ruthless to enemies. 

The cloaked people went inside, the ring on the door ringing to inform Yori about the costumers. Yori went outside the kitchen, seeing the two people. 

"Sorry." Yori said. "But the restaurant is still close."

"We know." the taller person said. "We are here to talk to that girl over there."

Tsuna and Yori tensed. Tsuna because she is suspicious and Yori because he was overprotective of Tsuna.

"Does she know you?" Yori suspiciously asked, reaching under the counter for his emergency gun and knife.

"She does." the smaller person said. Yori looked at Tsuna who shook her head.

"Show me your faces." Tsuna said. "I might recognize you."

"How mean~" the taller person said in a sing-song voice. "You don't recognize our voices?"

"To be fair," the smaller person said. "we are using a voice changer. "

"Hm...true~" the taller one agreed. "Then, let's remove our cloaks."

The two removed their cloaks and faced Tsuna whose eyes were wide open before a big smile covered her face.

"Yuni! Byakuran!" she exclaimed, rushing forward to hug them before stopping. "Wait..do you..like...remember me?"

"Of course we do, Tsuna-san." Yuni said, giving Tsuna all the confirmation she needed. After all, the Yuni of this world only call her 'Shi-san'.

"Ahem." Yori fake-coughed. "Do you know them, Tsuna?"

"Yes." Tsuna said with a bright smile. "They are my friends."

Yori grinned when he saw her smile. "So your not a lone wolf anymore, huh, Tsuna."

Tsuna smiled at him, knowing full well that this was his way of telling her that he was relieved she had friends she could talk with, especially when her home life was bad.

"I'm fine, Yori-san." Tsuna said with a smile, finally calling him with his first name. "I have friends from other places that would stand with me until I die."

Yori felt tears gathering in his eyes. Ever since Tsuna went to his restaurant two years ago, she had never opened up to him nor smiled as large as she did today. She would always show a small smile and only talk to him about his life, never hers. Seeing her like this made him feel like a proud father.

"Then, because the both of you are Tsuna's friends," Yori said. "I'll make you food for free. What do you want."

"Wahh~" Byakuran said with stars on his eyes. "Then, I want ramen~"

"One katsu curry for me please, Ahira-san." Yuni said respectfully.

Yori smiled. "Coming right up~"

When Yori went inside the kitchen to cook, the three of them went to Tsuna's table to talk.

"So." Tsuna said. "Why are the both of you here? If I recall correctly, both of you should be in France and Italy."

"Whatever do you mean~" Byakuran said, smiling a foxy smile.

"Don't play with me, Byakuran." Tsuna said in boss mode. "Byakuran. You told me that you were going to do an assassination mission in France. Yuni. You told me that you had urgent matters to do in Italy."

"Did we~" Byakuran insisted on teasing Tsuna who had angry tick marks on her head.

"Yes, you did, Byakuran, Yuni." Tsuna said before narrowing her eyes. "Or, should I say, Marshmellow-san and Nokon-san?"

"We came here because we received our parallel world's memories, Tsuna-san." Yuni, having enough of Byakuran's games, said while placing her hand on Byakuran's mouth to keep him quiet.

"So.." Tsuna trailed of as the both of them smiled sadly.

"Yes, Tsuna-san." Yuni said. "We received all of them. Especially when we had a meeting of how stupid you are to walk towards death's door."

Tsuna gulped. Somehow, the smile Yuni had on her face felt terrifying. She glanced at Byakuran, gulping again when she saw him with a scared look. After all, the only times he had that was when he was seriously scared.

"Y-Yuni, you know that it was my des-" Yuni cut him off, a frown forming on her lips.

"Destiny or not, you should not accept it easily." she said. "The Yuni of your world might have accepted it as destiny but I, for one, don't care about that b*llsh*t."

Tsuna stared at her in shock as it was the first time she saw Yuni cursed. Then again, the people of this world are a little different. For one, Yuni was more rebellious and less accepting. Byakuran, on the other hand, was serious in more occasions and less playful. That is, until, he received his parallel world's memories. It seems that he chose the attitude of his parallel self while Yuni stuck with her own. 

"Your food has arrived." Yori suddenly appeared with a smile. "Enjoy."

"Thanks Yori-san." the three of them thanked before digging in.

"Yummy~" Byakuran said happily while Yuni nodded, silently agreeing to his statement.

The three of them ate in silence, savoring the food as they finished up.

"So." Tsuna said when she finished eating. "Why are you guys here? I'm pretty sure your guardians wouldn't allow the both of you to just suddenly fly here with no reason, right? After all, both of you are the bosses of the Millefiore and Giglio Nero."

"Hehehe~" Byakuran just laughed.

"Sigh." Tsuna sighed. "Answer me seriously, Byakuran."

"You know them so well, Tsuna-san." Yuni said, laughing slightly.

"Of course I do." Tsuna said. "I've worked with them for more then ten years."

"We are enrolling on your school, Tsuna-chan~" Tsuna stared at them in shock.

"B-but why!!" she exclaimed, not understanding the reason.

"Tsuna-chan." Byakuran suddenly said seriously. "You know who the tenth Vongola boss will be in this world, right." 

Tsuna nod. "My brother."

Byakuran smiled. "Yep~" he looked serious again. "But we can't have that."

"Why?" Tsuna asked curiously. 

"Tsuna-san." Yuni said. "I don't think you understand the fact that every human being has their own specific role no matter what world they are in."

"Huh?" Tsuna said with a tilt of her head. "What do you mean?"

"What Yuni means, Tsuna-chan," Byakuran said. "is that everyone has a role assigned to them with or without their knowledge. For example, Yuni is assigned as the Giglio Nero's tenth boss. Even if, in another world, Aria-san gives birth to another child, Yuni, whether the eldest or not, will inherit the throne. Without her doing that, the world's balance will crumble."

Yuni continued for Byakuran. "Similarly, Tsuna-san, you are destined to become Vongola Decimo. If your brother becomes it, the balance will be broken and the world will start to crumble and disappear along with the people."

Tsuna noticed something. "Wait. If what you say is true, then..."

Byakuran seems to understand what she wanted to say and nod. "Yes, Tsuna-chan. The future you visited in your previous life vanished because you, Tsuna-chan, died earlier then needed."

"T-then.." Tsuna continued, fear gripping her heart.

"No, Tsuna-san." Yuni said. "Your previous world did not vanish because it was not your time."

"Then I will die at the same age?" Tsuna asked. Yuni smiled and shook her head.

"While it is true that our role is assigned to us permanently, our date of death is different. The only reason that world crumbled is because you were supposed to die at the age of forty. But, because Byakuran went crazy and caused you to kill yourself, the world became a mess. Even if you did become alive again, the world already registered you as a dead person which caused imbalance."

"So, in summary, our position is permanent but our death is random. I might die tomorrow but my parallel world's self might die next year. However, the two of us are the Millefiore boss." Byakuran explained.

"I see." Tsuna nod, understanding everything now.

"Um." Yori appeared from the kitchen. "Sorry to disturb but it's already 7:15 A.M. Tsuna, you might want to go to school now." 

Tsuna looked at the clock in shock, realizing that Yori was right.

"Ah!" Tsuna exclaimed. "I have to go now, Yori-san. Bye!"

Tsuna rushed out with Byakuran and Yuni behind her.

Yori waved goodbye for a little while with a smile before bringing his hand down, his face shifting to sadness.

"Tsuna..." Yori said. "Good luck in the mafia world."

Yori remembered her friends.

"But."Yori smiled. "With friends like them, I think you'll get by safely and happily."
