Chapter Text
Peace and quiet hadn't lasted that long after the Arcobaleno had been freed – as per their deal with the Vindice, the Vongola took over more and more of their small job.
In the two years that followed, Tsuna also took on more and more responsibilities as the Vongola Decimo, soon having control over all the eastern part of the Vongola empire.
But it's only when the twins were seventeen that the Vongola X finally got a new Life Quest – and this new suite of Life Quest were the ones that saw Tsuna through his goal of changing the underworld.
When the news reached that Kazami and Renato had had their first child, when Kazami was twenty, the underworld shuddered – who knew how terrifying the spawn of the world's greatest hit-man and the Vongola Shadow would be?
The first child, Adrian, was a boy with his father's hair and his mother's green eyes, and had powerful Flames and magic coursing through his body from a young age. All the Guardians dotted on him as a cute little nephew. A little sister, Melania, followed the next year, becoming the Vongola princess.
Both would grow up to be their cousin Kazuo's Moon and Mist Guardians – and both had inherited the same alternate version of Chaos Game.
As for Tsuna, he and Kyoko had a beautiful wedding at the Iron Fort when they were twenty-three, and Tsuna had finally taken over all the duty from the old Timoteo Vongola.
The ceremony was private, like it had been for his sister, but the function that followed was massive, with all allied Famiglia invited.
The next heir to the Vongola was born nine months later, much to the amusement of every Vongola X...
By the time said heir grew up to take over from his father and become the Undicesimo, he had three younger siblings, and the underworld was vastly different from what it had been before his birth.
The Vindice, while still the upholder of the Omerta, were also the main guardians of the Tri-ni-siette, a duty they took seriously seeing how these items had brought so much suffering.
They also worked closely with the Vongola, and between the Vongola new policies and their role as allies of the Vindice, they soon were know as the Underworld Protectors. Kazami becoming famous as the one who worked the closest with the feared Omerta Guardians — and the only one to have Night Flames without being a Vindice member.
Those Flames, and the Vongola rising fame made her soon know as the Vongola Shadow, then simply as the Shadow — for there was only one Shadow, and anyone going against the Omerta or the Vongola learned to fear her.

When Kazami Sinclair died at thirty-three, she felt like she had lived a far better life, even if she was just as young as the first time she died. Having known for a long time she wouldn't live old, she'd enjoyed her life to the fullest, and was ready when Death came for her. Letters and memories had been given out to her beloved, she already could see that her children had found a worthy Sky, and her brother had done it — he'd changed the underworld, just as he'd decided when they were thirteen.
She was proud of her family.
After that, Renato Sinclair became even more terrifying for the enemies of Vongola – and became both father and mother for his two children.
For three years, he kept on to his duties – but it was clear to all that he was barely living without Kazami.
When three years had gone by, he went to see Tsuna “I've come to say my goodbyes.”
“I'm surprised you lasted so long.”
“Life and Death gave me a chance to find her back when we got the gods' blessings.” he said – Tsuna nodded, remembering how elusive the ex-Arcobaleno had been about the godly blessing he'd been gifted with so long ago, “But I couldn't leave when Adrian and Melania were young.”
“Kazami would be mad with you.” the Decimo smiled, amused — and knowing quite well that the man hadn't done it only for his wife, but also because he loved their children just as much as she did
“They are old enough now, and they have found their Sky.” he took out a few things from his Inventory – letters and items to give to the Vongola X and his family
“Good luck, Renato.”
Tsuna was answered by a smile – then the man that he met as his tutor and went on becoming his brother-in-law, and a father figure in all but name, disappeared, never to be seen again.
Renato and Kazami's children weren't surprised when Tsuna decided to be honest and told them why their father was gone. While they were sad, they didn't resent the man, which impressed Tsuna, as he didn't know if he would have been so forgiving; but Adrian and Melania knew their parents better than anyone else, and were simply grateful that their Papa had delayed his departure for so long for them.
As he grew older, the Vongola Decimo would often wonder whether the hit man had found back his bambina – but that was alright, because he knew he'd have his answer when the time came to meet Death.
