150 years later...

A brunette stood in an enclosed space, punching continuously at the impenetrable walls. She could feel the oxygen wearing thin. She dropped her arms to her knees, supporting the upper body with whatever strength left inside. Once more, she lit up her flames and delivered one more punch to the wall.

However, there was only a small dent created from all the attacks. Due to fatigue, she fell to the ground, trying to take in as much remaining oxygen in the air.

What more can I wish for? She thought to herself.

Suddenly, the blue gem on her Vongola ring light up and a beam pointed at her forehead and then a bunch of frightening images appeared in her head. Her trial of succession began.

The people outside the space could hear what was going inside. Just then, there was a high pitched cry of distress that rang through their ears. "STOP IT! STOP IT ALL!"

The raven head supervising this gave a smirk while his one-time partner grit her teeth. His subordinate then reported, "The oxygen is nearly out. Both her mental and physical stats are hitting critical levels."

The blue head lashed out at him. "Cease this training at once! THIS WILL ACHIEVE NOTHING AND SHE IS GOING TO DIE MEANINGLESSLY!"

The raven head narrowed his icy blue eyes at her. "However, you're the one who suggested for her to keep her ring on through the fight." The girl grit her teeth as she prayed for the other's safety. He continued, "that was the right thing to do. But whether or not sh can become the Sawada Tsunahime you're wishing for... she needs to be tested under extreme circumstances."

"..."

"Though, there is no other Vongola boss who faced the trial at such a young age in the history." There was a gasp of shock that escaped her lips. She turned her head to the hitman tutor. Yet, his face displayed no wavering expressions. She clenched her fists, REBORN!

"I refuse! I don't care if these are the sins of the Vongola!" She screamed. Before the others can continue to speak, she shouted again. "Even if I want the power, I want the power to PROTECT everyone. If accepting all these sins is the only way I can gain power...

I REFUSE!

I REFUSE AND I DON'T NEED ALL THESE POWER AT ALL!

If accepting all these sins will help me gain power, I would rather ERADICATE THE VONGOLA!"

One of the figures keep quiet and smiled.

The brunette felt a rush of weariness as she tipped forward and fell, her eyes closed slowly. A lone tear strayed down as she apologized mentally to all her closed ones. However, instead of touching the cold ground beneath her feet, she collapsed into the warm embrace of a familiar figure. A pair of warm hands gripped her shoulders as she instinctively lifted herself away.

A familiar brown suit greeted her eyes. "Kyuu...daime?" She snapped her caramel eyes open and backed up quickly. "NONO!"

Wordlessly, said man turned to look at the ground. The brunette followed his line of sight and gaped at the sight.

The ground was no longer black and void. A light shade of blue that reflected the sky replaced it instead. A big insignia, recognizably the Vongola's, lit up. She looked up at her grandfather figure and he smiled, releasing his hold on her. Right in front of her were two rows of people consisting of all the bosses in the Vongola history. At the other end was a man sitting on a throne, poised with elegance. His eyes were gentle and it struck her nostalgic.

Tears streamed down her face as she looked at him, solely him, ignoring the other bosses that were lighting their weapons in sky flames. Her attention was all on him, watching the blond man light up his I-glove. His amber eyes gazed at her gently and for a moment, there was a flash of happiness and relief. "Your resolution has been accepted."

She looked at him, confused at what was going on, but there was a lingering feeling that she has done this before. "Is this... a dream? An illusion? Why am I here?"

OUR HOUR WAS ENGRAVED ON THE RING

"To flourish or perish will be your choice, Vongola Decima." He said. Just then, he stood up from the throne and walked towards her. The other bosses seemed startled by his actions as they dropped their weapons to their side. They then were turned into flames, stationary at their positions.

He knelt down right in front of her, still and quiet. She blinked. "Primo?"

Her voice seemed to have triggered something in the other as tears cascaded down his cheeks. She made a muffled gasp and reached for her pockets. "Ah... ah... what's wrong?" She stuttered, flustered at his ancestor crying.

"Tsuna! Tsuna! I've been waiting for so long! So damn long to see you once more!" He then pulled her into a tight embrace as he cried his lungs out. Even as a spirit, he sure had some lung power. Tsuna patted his softly yet awkwardly. "B-but I'm right here now, a-aren't I?"

Out of the blue, Primo kissed her on the lips. At the same time, a string of memories began to fill her brain. One memory stood out particularly and it brought her joy at that very moment. The blond broke away from her and gave the brunette a wide, teary, smile.

"Now, it's time for you to inherit the proof of the Vongola. Don't let your future meet that end again." He said and pecked her forehead, backing away from her.

Tsuna remained frozen on the spot, unable to move. She felt as if she aged a few years. Her hand moved to touch her lips and she smiled. "Arigatou, Giotto."

"Ti amo, Tsunahime Sawada."

There was a burst of light and she squeezed her eyes shut. The next thing she knew, there was an explosion and she stood back on the training ground. The area around her was smoking as she brought her hands up to block the smoke from covering her eyes. Her gloves glowed and changed its form.

She lit up her flames, that had turned clear and darker. "This feeling... It's been too long."

Her audience was shocked. Reborn pulled his fedora down. "What do you mean, Tsuna?"

She gave them a sad smile and a shake of her head. "It's fine. Everything's over already. I'm ready, Hibari."

Hayano closed her eyes, and a certain red head popped up in her head.

Why can't she shake off that image? He is something of the past, the dead can never live again. Just then, the door to her room slid open. She did not even turn around as a blur of brown glomped her.

Her t-shirt then grew wet as the figure trembled. She brings her hands behind the girl's head and brushed through her hair delicately. "What's wrong, princess?"

"I remember everything! The stupid famiglia, the Clown ninth and everyone from Primo's time."

"There there... I'm sure they'll want you to smile and move on. Primo would surely want his princess to be happy. If not for him, then smile for me, Tsuna?"

The brunette released her death grip on her best friend. "You called me Tsuna! Without the 'sama' or 'juudaime'!" The silverette chuckled at the sudden change of mood.

"I'll never leave you alone again."

"Where did that come from?"

"Not after all that that happened in the past. I will let Daemon's soul rest, mend our relationship with Cozart's family even though I don't know them well. I will make sure I turn our enemies into friends and I'll never let what happened before happen again." They beamed at one another.

"Really?"

"As long as you're with me. I'm sure we'll do fine."

"May G be with you always." Tsuna joked. Hayano blushed and retorted, "then may Giotto be with you as well." They ended up laughing.

However, unknown to them both, their rings glowed in their respective colours. A voice whispered inaudibly into their ears.

...

"All that's well, ends well..."

'Arigatou' means 'thank you', 'Ti amo' means 'I love you'.

Right, This is the last chapter and as I promised, I'll upload the long-ass author's note that explains the last chapter and other things. Here goes!

Date started: June 18(?)
Date (originally) ended: 11/5/16 (dd/mm/yy)

This is the second multi-chapter story that I've completed and I'm feeling a sense of satisfaction at the moment...

AHEM! Let me get back here.

Anyway, even though the amount of support was really little initially, I'm kinda glad that I've pulled through, and I gained a lot of valuable experiences from writing this work. Such as... Wait, nevermind.

To be honest, I know that I've made noticeable mistakes here and there and everywhere in the work, so I am thankful that you've pardoned them throughout this whole work.

I am also aware of the amateurish writing in my work (that I can clearly see throughout the whole thing). The whole plot also sounded really rushed (I admit, I did rush). I'm still learning so if you'd like, you can send me some writing tips! Of course, I don't mind if you don't, everyone has their own secrets to writing a fab book.

One more, I am aware that there are certainly MANY and I mean numerous numbers of plot holes, but I have no intentions on mending them. I'll leave them to your imagination. (please don't hit me!)

Thus, I apologise for all the minor and major mistakes I've made so far. (But 'till now, I don't know what major mistakes I've made, so if you can... please)

I would like to thank everyone for their (probably) continuous support for this story -the likes, comments and favourites. I really enjoyed the comments that "flooded" my notifications boxes and am extremely grateful.

At this point of time, I really have no idea how to continue this work so I would not be having any sequel to this. I don't think the idea for a sequel will even come and no, I don't want these two to time travel again. They'll probably give the Primo generation a heart attack. Tsuna did die after all.

By the way, I would like to explain the epilogue a little.

Okay, we all know that they both traveled back to the past, but it was because there will be no more future for them. Their future, or the Vongola's to be exact, cut off there. Don't get it? Basically, their future cannot be saved. So the Vindice decided to bring the two last survivors to the past so that they won't have to face this same event again. Going to the past means that the two of them have another chance to "rectify" the "problem".

When the cycle goes back to the original timeline, which is about a hundred and fifty years later, Tsuna and Hayano were "reborn-ed". (I don't believe in Reincarnation though, in all due respect) Hayano was born with the memories slightly intact while Tsuna wasn't. The pact was made after Tsuna died in story's timeline. So Hayano was forced to go along with the memories until the trial, which was the starting point of the change. The last thirteen years were the same. So when Giotto gave Tsuna the so-called "Kiss of memories", she recalled everything that happened before and she grew mature because of the sad scenes that replayed in her mind. After the whole trial fiasco, Tsuna went to visit Hayano, who she poured out all the pent up feelings that were built inside. Both of them decided to move on from the past, and their ex-partners (the rings glowed, remember?) agreed as well.

Mah... this is more or less what had happened.

Oh and chapter 10!

Tsuna died after defending Hayano from the bullet even though she was capable of escaping as well together with her silverette friend. So in the attack where seemingly all the tenth set of guardians got revived, it was merely Daemon's power. At some point of time which is not explained or written (I'll write about it if anyone asked), Daemon sneaked into Hayano's room and had a sneak peak at her memories. Fortunately for the melon head, Hayano has a brilliant memory archive and all her experiences were stored in her brain. So they had a few plans, this inclusive, before and all the guardians agreed on them, since they don't know who their enemy was.

Giotto and Tsuna had loved each other secretly, not announcing it because they were afraid that it will disrupt the time flow. Of course, this is actually a needless worry because the timeline is already affected when the two traveled back in time. Oh well. Tsuna transferred all her flames to Giotto because she knew that if she continues to be in the past, the vongola would be threatened by future enemies and chose death to avoid all the issues. She also blocked off all the flames that could possibly heal her so that she can leave peacefully. It could be a selfish wish of her own though. All shits went down when the clown idiot decides to claim that Tsuna was his and the rest was history.

Tsuna left Giotto and Hayano gifts, giving Giotto Natsu as well so that the feline won't be lonely and it serves as a reminder to Giotto that life is precious. So the letter is not disclosed but it gave both of them some sort of closure and they were back to normal.

A-Anyways! This is all for now and I hope you'll support my other works as well? Like "Time waits for no one". If you're really impatient, check out my wattpad. There are more stories posted there because wattpad allows me to update stories through my phone (Another reason why I fail to update on FFN punctually. The FFN application doesn't allow me to submit my chapters through my phone). There are many more completed stories and works there compared to here. I'll try to upload as many completed works here as soon as hell is over too!

Once more, thank you for reading this whole thing till the end! Thank you very much!

Ci Vediamo!
