So this is my first fan fic, and its Katekyo Hitman Reborn, please leave reviews on how I should continue and improve it. I know this is very short, but I'll lengthen it in the following chapters.

July 2020 Update- I've started a rework on this story! Hope to get this done by the end of 2020! This is the second update/ rework I've done on this fanfiction, and I am currently in the process of editing the whole fic rewriting certain parts so that the plot I have in mind can fit, and also so the fic flows better and is more interesting. I'm sorry to my readers ( if they are still here) who have had to put up with a (VERY) long hiatus as well as continuation errors! If you are an old reader, please have a look at previous chapters so that you know what has changed! 3

The Vongola Decimo stood alone inside a circle of people whom he had called his allies, friends and… family. It was all a lie.

They looked at him warily, as though expecting him to fight back, retaliate, or at the very least defend himself.

But he didn't. He only smiled, sadly. The kind of smile a person made when they had given up.

"Let's get this over with."

And with that, there was a huge explosion, with the Vongola Decimo at its centre. But when the smoke and dust cleared, he was no longer there.

There was a long silence. Nobody moved, nobody spoke.

Finally, the Decimo's right hand man, his cherished storm guardian broke the silence, his voice cracking with sorrow.

"I'm so sorry, tenth. We'll meet you on the other side, then you'll know the truth. But till then, please hate us, because that's all we deserve."

A soft drizzle began, echoing the dripping of teardrops on the cold pavement ground.
