Chapter SIXTEEN: The Inheritance Ceremony
~Tsuna woke up early as 5:00 am. to start the day by jogging around and inside the forest as he usually do when he is in Italy. Today's the day of the Inheritance Ceremony,and he can't help to feel nervous and excited at the same time.
Natsu and Oozora are with him. They know what's going on their Master, even though they are animals.
His jogging laps increase without him realizing. He have a lot of things going on his mind and doesn't pay much attention to his surroundings.~
~Back at the Mansion,the maids and butlers are very busy preparing everything for the Ceremony. The chefs in the kitchen are also busy preparing and brainstorming on what will they cook for this important event. Most of the apprentices had gone shopping for the ingredients. It's a special day and common dishes,aren't suited so they are trying their best to cook something new.~
~The Guardians are busy on their own. They are memorizing the Vows of their own positions and also preparing the necessary things for the Ceremony.~
~The Students on the other hand are in the town with Agata,Alonso and Menandro,buying their formal attires, shoes,jewelry,make-ups,gloves and everything needed. Timoteo will take care of the expenses while he is still the Boss.~
~ The Varia came early in the Mansion and now,they are in the training room, making so much racket. Bickering, throwing knives,electrocuting, cuss shouting, and teasing.~
~Meanwhile,a long black limousine enter the Estate and it park in front of the Greenhouse. Iemitsu Sawada and Nana Sawada ,Tsuna's parents,step out of the car and are assisted right away. Fuuta De La Stella,Lambo Bovino and I-pin, Tsuna's adoptive siblings also step out of the limousine and are brought to their rooms.~
~Nana had been in the Mansion several times before,after Tsuna told her his and his father's secrets which made her shocked.~
"Welcome Iemitsu and Nana.. Thank you for coming. Tsunayoshi is currently doing his morning rituals in the forest. How was your trip here?"--Timoteo said as he shake hands with the adults
"Oh,it was a nice trip,Ninth."--Iemitsu
"Yes,that's right,Sir."--Nana
"That's good to hear. You didn't run into trouble during your flight,right?"--Timoteo
"Yes. No trouble at all. We can't cause any of that today. We shouldn't ruin our son's special succession day."--Iemitsu
"Great. Now,you won't mind joining me for breakfast,do you? I bet you didn't eat much during your trip."--Timoteo
"Yes,we're honored,Ninth."--Iemitsu
"But Dear,how about Tsu-kun? Did he had breakfast yet,Sir?"--Nana ask as she turn to Timoteo
"No,but he'll have some soon after he finishes his jog around the forest."--Timoteo
"Oh,I see."--Nana
"Let's go,then."--Iemitsu
Timoteo,along with Nana and Iemitsu went to Dining Hall,where the kids are already eating. During the meal,the adults discuss the things involving the Inheritance Ceremony.
~~~
"Gao!"--Natsu said as he pounce on Oozora.
Oozora growl softly as he play with Natsu. Nudging his mane and puffy cheeks.
"Hahaha,you two sure are very close to each other. Natsu,Oozora.."--Tsuna said,chuckling as he get out of the shower.
He finished his jog 15 minutes ago and took a refreshing shower after he let his pet Lions ate Sky Flames from his Ring.
Oozora is Tsuna's second Sky Box Weapon. Verde,who finally decided to be on the good side,gave it to him when he was 4th year in middle school. Oozora's personality is the same with Tsuna when he's in Hyper Mode and his abilities are much more different than Natsu. He has the ability of turning the enemies to stone,but that's not all,he has the other abilities of the other Box Weapons. So whatever ability he uses,his mane color changes according to it. He,alone can even defeat Xanxus's Box Weapon,Besta/Bester. And,Oozora is a different Sky Box Weapon. He can only be summoned when Tsuna have Natsu and when he emits a great amount of Sky Flames.
"Gao! Gao!"--Natsu
"Now,now Natsu. It's time for you and Oozora to rest. You've done enough playing with each other."--Tsuna said as he finished dressing up.
"Gao!"--Natsu said in agreement and went back to his Box while Oozora went back to the Ring.
Tsuna took Natsu's Box and chain it to his belt. He put on his Ring as he walk out of his room and head towards the Dining Hall.
~~Dining Hall~~
"Ah,Tsuna-nii!!"--Fuuta shouted as he got up from his seat and run towards Tsuna.
"Big Brother!!"--I-pin and Lambo soon followed
"Haha,hey guys. You sure arrived here pretty early."--Tsuna said as he walk towards his parents
"Tsu-kun!!"--Nana said as she hug her son.
"Hello,Mother and...hey,Dad! Thanks for coming!"--Tsuna
"We can't miss our beloved son's Inheritance Ceremony."--Nana
"Finally! In a couple of hours,you're gonna be the official 10th Boss of the Vongola!! I'm very proud of you,Tsuna!"--Iemitsu
"Heh."--Tsuna said,smirking
"Please sit down and join us,Tsunayoshi. We're discussing the details of your Upcoming Inheritance Ceremony just a few minutes ago."--Timoteo
"Really,Grandfather?"--Tsuna said as he sit on his chair.
"Yes. Are you feeling excited or nervous?"--Timoteo
"Both. I can't explain though. But the idea of surprising my classmates gave me one of the reasons why I am excited."--Tsuna
"Haha,sadistic as ever. I'm sorry,Nana and Iemitsu if I'd rubbed off too much of my sadistic personality on your son."--Timoteo
"Hahaha,or it's in his blood."--Iemitsu
"Yes,that's possible."--Timoteo
Tsuna begin to eat as the adults talk. He listen very carefully to the words,spoken by Timoteo.
"The invitations are already sent to our Allied Families as well as to our employees in business. They will arrive in the afternoon."--Timoteo said.
Suddenly,the doors of the Dining Hall open and the students came,chatting loudly.
"Oh,everyone you're here already? Did everything go well? And did you bought all of the things you needed for the Ceremony?"--Timoteo queried as the students quiet down and sat on their respective chairs
"Yes,everything was taken cared off. Thank you,Ninth."--Miyuki
"Great. Ahem! Dear students and Dohachiro-sensei,let me introduce to you my closest friends who arrived earlier."--Timoteo
The students turn to Nana,Iemitsu,Lambo, Fuuta, and I-pin.
"The CEDEF Advisory Boss,Sawada Iemitsu and his humble wife,Sawada Nana. They are Tsunayoshi's parents."--Timoteo said as he introduced the two adults
"WHAT?!!!! THEY ARE YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS,NINTH?! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!!"--the class roared
"Hahaha,I bet they're No-good parents too because their son is Dame-Tsuna!!"--Rukio said making the class roar with laughter
Iemitsu,and Nana clench their fists under the table as they endure that very big insult. Tsuna,on the other hand,tried to maintain his composure. Insulting him many many times is nothing to him unless they go far and by that means is insulting his parents.
"Haha.. That sentence was a sick provocative coming from someone like you,Nanase Rukio. I thought a son like you who came from a very wealthy and well-mannered family has some respect for the persons who's older than you,but it seems that I'm mistaken."--Tsuna said as he turn and glare at Rukio
"WHAT DID YOU SAY,DAME-TSUNA?!! ARE YOU MOCKING ME?!!"--Rukio
"Heh.. Mocking you? Not at all. Don't you feel embarrassed? Your mother's name was carved into you and Rukika. Are you going to soil your mother's precious name by disrespecting other adults? Try putting your mother on my parents' shoes and I disrespect them,won't you feel insulted and angry too? Put some thinking in your head before doing an action. Unless you don't know how to think straight."--Tsuna said,leaving Rukio silent and the class shock.
"Ahem. We're in a middle of a meal,Tsunayoshi and Rukio-kun. It's not nice to cause an argument here with our new guests in view. Besides,Tsunayoshi's right. You shouldn't disrespect the adults,Rukio-kun. Every adult and people with authority deserved to be respected."--Timoteo
"I..I..I apologize for my disrespectful behavior."--Rukio muttered
The Dining Hall doors open and the Guardians as well as the Feroce Terzetto came and sit on their destined chairs.
"We're sorry we're late,Tenth."--Gokudera
"No,it's nothing to mind about,Hayato."--Tsuna
"Something the matter?"--Gokudera said,noticing his Boss' change of addressing names. Tsuna only call him "Hayato" when he's serious or offended.
"No,nothing at all."--Tsuna
"Oh,well. Pleasure to see you,Sir Iemitsu and Lady Nana."--Gokudera said,greeting both the adults
"Likewise,Gokudera-kun."--Nana replied
Everyone eat breakfast while talking to each other. No one ever brought the argument from earlier. Hibari,as always sat very far from everyone else.
~~~~
Tsuna went to the Gallery Room,in the Vongola Generations Section after breakfast. He decided to pay his respects to the late Vongola Bosses. When he is about to go to the Simora's portrait, his Hyper Intuition goes off making him go Hyper Mode.
"You and Giotto ARE very much alike,especially when you go Hyper Mode,Decimo."--???
Tsuna relax a bit when he realized whom that voice belong to.
"It's you,Lord Second."--Tsuna said
A huge orange flame appear and Ricardo,the late Second Boss of Vongola emerge. A smirk already graze his lips. Another flame appear and the Third Boss of Vongola show up.
"Impressive,Decimo. You and Lord First must be the only ones with super Hyper Intuitions. Even me and Lord Second can't pinpoint whom a voice belong to."--Third (Terzo in Italian)
"Thank you,Lord Third. Lord Fourth,you can show yourself now. It's only us."--Tsuna said looking at his right side.
"Hmp. I'm about to do that,Decimo."--the Fourth Boss said with a frown
"As grumpy as ever. Lighten up,we're here to congratulate Decimo for his Inheritance Ceremony,Lord Fourth."--a merry voice said the Fifth and Sixth Bosses of Vongola appear
"And you? Despite,your looks,your expression and personality are completely different."--Fourth
"What? That's not a bad thing,Lord Fourth. That's what making Lord Fifth unique."--Simora
"As usual,I don't understand you,Lord Sixth."--Fourth
"Greetings,Lord Fifth and Lord Simora."--Tsuna
"Likewise,Decimo. Thank you for inviting us to your Ceremony."--another voice sounded,interrupting the Sixth who's about to reply.
"As usual,your interrupting me,son."--Simora
"My bad. I'm used to it."--Fabio,the Seventh Boss said as he appear with his daughter,Daniela who's also the Eighth Boss of Vongola.
"Lord First isn't here yet?"--Daniela asked as she turn to the other Bosses.
"Yes.Probably sleeping again."--Ricardo
"Congratulations,Decimo."--Daniela said as her gaze turn to Tsuna
"Thank you,Lady Daniela."--Tsuna said. He's used calling Daniela,Lady Daniela since she's the only female Boss and females are deserve to be highly-respected.
~~~
"Huh? Why's everyone out? Are we going to have a reunion?"--Giotto
"That's not it,Grandfather! Come on,get out of the Ring!"--Tsuna
"Alright."--Giotto
~~~
Giotto appear as a huge amount of Sky Flames and then took an astral form.
"About time."--Ricardo said as he tap his fingers impatiently.
"Sorry,cousin Ricardo. I'd overslept."--Giotto
"Again. The usual,Giotto."--Ricardo said
"Haha,so.. Why's everyone here?"--Giotto
All of the Bosses face palm including Tsuna.
"Listen,Giotto. We're here to give Decimo our blessings before he take the throne,since he's your true successor. Geez,you don't even know that?"--Ricardo
"Of course I know."--Giotto
"Then,let's get started! Don't make us wait for more hours!!"--Ricardo scowl
"As usual,you're impatient. Never mind. Tsuna,hold out your hand."--Giotto
Tsuna obey as the other Bosses held out their hands too.
"I,Giotto also known as Sawada Ieyasu,the First Boss of the Vongola Famiglia,hereby give my blessing to my true successor, Sawada Tsunayoshi as he take the Vows of a Vongola Boss and sit in the throne being the Tenth Boss of the Vongola Family. May his wisdom grace upon the Family until the end of his reign."--Giotto said as he lit his Ring
Sky flames burst out of the hands of the late Bosses and it flow rapidly into the Ring. After the Ring completely absorbed the flames,the Bosses slowly disappear one by one while saying their farewell.
"Be a good Boss,Lord Decimo."--Ricardo said
It's been a tradition to call the chosen Heir of Vongola, a "Lord" when he received the blessings of the other previous Bosses.
"Yes,I can promise you that,Lord Second."--Tsuna said after shaking hands with Ricardo
"Hm. Be sure to keep it. Lord Third,I think we should get going now. Giotto,watch over Lord Decimo carefully."--Ricardo
"Certainly! Off you go now,cousin."---Giotto
"Congratulations, Lord Decimo. I'm sure the Family will revert back the way it was under your reign."--Third
"Thank you for believing in me,Lord Third."--Tsuna said,smiling as Ricardo and the Third completely disappeared.
"Well,for us,we don't have much to say but,do your best for the Family,Lord Decimo. Congratulations."--Lord Fifth
"Thank you, Lord Fifth."--Tsuna
"Hey,grumpy old man,aren't you going to congratulate Lord Decimo too?"--the Fifth said as he turn to the Fourth who just grunted.
"Anyway, we have to go now. Thank you for this small reunion."--Fifth
"My pleasure,Lord Fifth."--Tsuna said as both the Fifth and the Fourth disappeared
"We also have to go,Lord Decimo. Like the other Lords, we also congratulate you for this day."--Fabio said as he,Daniela and Simora disappear.
Tsuna only smiled as Giotto also smiled before returning back to the Ring.
"Well done,Grandson.."--Giotto
Tsuna slowly walk out of the Gallery Room and head straight towards the Greenhouse. He wants some fresh air before the Ceremony.
~~~
~~Time skip~~
~8:00 pm.~
The Mansion's Ballroom is the venue for the Ceremony and it's already packed with guests. The stage's already prepared beautifully. There is a "throne" in the center of the stage and in a few minutes,a young Vongola Boss will sit in it.
~~~
"Tenth,are you ready?"--Gokudera ask while knocking on the door of his Boss's room.
"Wait a minute,just a little more."--Tsuna said from inside.
"Ahahahaha!! Seems like our Boss is still fixing his appearance."--Yamamoto said.
Yamamoto wears a black suit with a blue dress shirt and black shoes. He also wears his necklace.
"Idiot,of course! Tenth will be the official Boss in just a few minutes. He have to properly arrange himself."--Gokudera
Gokudera wears a black suit like Yamamoto but with a red dress shirt and black shoes. He also wears his buckle.
A few minutes passed,and finally Tsuna came out.
"I'm ready,guys. Let's go."--Tsuna
"Whoa,Tsuna!! You look awesome!"--Yamamoto
"Yeah,I agree with that. Now,you look exactly like Primo,Tenth."--Gokudera
"Yeah. It's Grandfather Timoteo's idea,actually. He said that: " Since you are Lord Primo's true successor,you have to wear a cape too.""---Tsuna
"Eh..Impressive idea.."--Gokudera
Tsuna wears a black suit like the others with an orange dress shirt and black shoes. He also wears a black cape that is similar to Giotto but with a different design.
The three walk down the Hallways and meet up with the other guardians. They all look fantastic and amazing,just like a true Mafia gang.
~~~~
~~8:30 pm~~
When they came into the Ballroom, through a secret passage that led them in the backstage,Timoteo is already there, waiting for them.
"It's almost time. Are you all ready?"--Timoteo said,eyeing each of the Guardians.
"Yes,sir."--The guardians answered except Tsuna
"Tsunayoshi,are you ready? Ready to become a Boss?"--Timoteo
"Yes,I'm all ready,Grandfather."--Tsuna said,a smirk decorated his lips.
"Well then,let's start the show."--Timoteo said as he slowly walk out of the backstage.
~~~
The guests are chatting,but they quiet down when they heard the emcee speak.
"Ahem! Good evening,humble guests. Thank you for coming to this important Ceremony. We will start now. First,let's give a round of applause for the Ninth Boss of the Vongola,Timoteo and his Guardians."--Emcee
Timoteo enters with his Guardians. He walk towards the emcee and nodded at him.
"Let's hear a speech from our beloved Ninth Boss!"--The emcee announce and everybody claps.
"Ahem!! Thank you... Good evening,dear guests,I offer you my thanks for coming here despite your great lengths of work.
There isn't much to say. All I wanted was for the Vongola Family to stay in peace with the other Families and with itself. Many things happened during my days of reigning over the Family,but it all turned out well,thanks to everyone. But now, as my reign is nearly over,I will happily step down from the throne and let my Heir take over,because I know the Vongola Family will be in good hands. That's all,thank you."--Timoteo said,ending his speech and handing the microphone back to the emcee.
Everybody clap as they listen attentively to the emcee.
"Thank you for that touching speech,Sir Timoteo. Now, dear guests.. We will proceed to the event you're all waiting for.. The Inheritance of the Tenth Boss of the Vongola Family."--Emcee
"Oh my god,there it is!"--Rukika
"Finally,we'll be able to see the Tenth!"--Daisuke
"I'm sure he's a responsible young man."--Nezu
"Duh. It's obvious,Nezu!"--Kentaro
"Ahem!! Dear guests,I'm please to present to you the Guardians of the Tenth Generation!!"--the emcee said, as one by one the Guardians enter.
The students' jaws drop when they saw their classmates entering from behind the curtains.
"H-H-HOW?!! WHAT?!! WHY?!! WHEN DID THEY?!! IMPOSSIBLE!!"--the students roared
"Shut up."--Hibari ordered which the students quickly obeyed.
"The Tenth Rain Guardian,Takeshi Yamamoto. The Tenth Sun Guardian, Ryohei Sasagawa."--Emcee
"TO THE EXTREME!!!"--Ryohei burst
"Continuing.. The Tenth Lightning Guardian,Lambo Bovino."--emcee
"Gyahahahaha!"--Lambo

"And now..the Tenth Heir of Vongola for the Boss position..Tsunayoshi Sawada!!"--emcee
Tsuna proudly enters,making the students faint. Not most of them,though.
"We'll now proceed to the Inheritance Ceremony.."--The emcee said,handing the microphone to Timoteo again.
"We'll begin with the Guardians. State your Vows."--Timoteo

And since Lambo can't say his Vows very clearly,they let him say whatever he want which all contains candy.
"I,Hibari Kyoya,promise to fulfill the role of the Cloud, "To be the aloof, drifting Cloud that protects the Family from an independent standpoint, and whom nothing can ever bind". As the Cloud Guardian"--Hibari

"I hereby name you all the official Guardians of the the Tenth Generation."--Timoteo
The guests clap in glee as they witness this glorious event. Timoteo turn to Tsuna, holding the Vongola Sin.
"I,Timoteo the Ninth Boss of Vongola,end my reign over the Family and all of it's associates and I pass my role of being the Boss to my Heir,Sawada Tsunayoshi. Hereby naming him the official Tenth Boss of the Vongola Family from now on. And to signify this succession,I give to you the Vongola Sin."--Timoteo
