Target 05: Realization – Where Tsuna had realized he's no longer Sawada Tsunayoshi but Nura Rikuo who had a different mother and father with a different destiny. And where in Tsuna realized that he could never ever see his family ever again.
-----
When Tsuna was picked up by Rihan-otou-san, he couldn't help but smile brightly at the sight of his father's proud smile. When was the last time he had seen someone smile at him so proudly like that? A really long time ago, back when everyone was still alive; back to the time when they were all still young, back straight and full of ambition.
Tsuna found himself relishing at the feeling of his father patting his head gently.
"Good job… Rikuo." His father uttered so proudly and Tsuna's eyes widen in surprise as something hit him.
Good job… Rikuo.
Rikuo…
Rikuo…
The name continued to repeat on him mind as his heart grew heavy in pain. His name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, not Nura Rikuo. He is the son of Sawada Nana and Sawada Iemitsu, not Nura Wakana and Nura Rihan. He is the Vongola Decimo, not someone without any ties to the mafia. He died at the age of eighty, he's not alive.
He's no longer Sawada Tsunayoshi, Vongola Decimo but Nura Rikuo, a two year old child.
Guilt immediately hit him, Tsuna wasn't supposed to be here. He was supposed to go to whatever his soul is supposed to go, not replacing the life of Rikuo. He shouldn't be the one to experience and receive the love of Rihan and Wakana but Rikuo. He doesn't even deserve this.
Then, Tsuna was hit with longing, longing for his real family. Longing to see his daughter smile at him again, to hear Ietsuna's soothing voice telling him about different tales about yōkai, Giotto's usual extravagant entrance whenever he would come to 'annoy' his old man and many more.
He would never be able to see his family ever again.
He then felt loneliness- a feeling he had once been used to when he was but a small little kid, back when he was still 'Dame-Tsuna.' He doesn't want this emotion to swallow him again…
He couldn't stop it…
No longer was he known as Sawada Tsunayoshi.
He's now Nura Rikuo.
And Tsuna, no Rikuo, realized, just how much that hurt him more than killing and fighting ever would.
Can he ever see his Family ever again?
