A/N: Before scrolling down and reading chapter two, I suggest you guys go back to chapter one and read it again. I've added around 1,000 words after I had it first published (some of you might have already read the edited version XD) I think you should read it again to further understand what was to happen in this chapter!

That's it^^ enjoy!

P.S...When I first saw Bermuda's un_cursed form I was like WTF! xD! and admit it, you've expected Bermuda's un_cursed form were much cooler than that, well I did^^

Status: Unbeta-ed! There would be grammatical errors and misspelled words~ Mistakes are mine^^


~Family Bonds~

"Giotto…"

Giotto, who had just tucked his son to bed, cringed slightly at the sight of his guardians, sans Lampo, waiting for him from outside his (and now Tsuna's) room. After a moment tough, he all gave them a warm smile. "Is there a problem?"

The guardians looked at each other, all waiting for the other to break out the one question that had bothered their minds.

"Ah, we've wanted to ask…" Asari left his sentence hanging, afraid that Giotto might take his words wrongly. Asari does not want anything to do with hurting his close friend's feelings.

"Ask me what?" Giotto looked at his guardians with a scrutinizing gaze. Why are they so reluctant? Even Alaude 'Mr. Interrogator Extraordinaire' and Daemon 'Mr. I Pry on Someone Else's Business' won't tell him what's wrong…and G? He was currently fidgeting from where he was standing. Usually he would be the first one to bother Giotto with even the smallest of things that the blond man does. He once bought cookies from a travelling vendor and G took three straight hours lecturing him for it.

Lampo then stepped out from his room, which was across Asari's. He yawned. "You guys are still here?" The teen had one of his eyes closed. "You haven't asked him yet?" He pointed a finger towards Giotto. Knuckle nodded at the teen's question.

Lampo can't help but smirk. "I can't believe you all are cowering on this…"

"Nufufu…what kind of torture would you like to go through?" Daemon's eyes twinkled with sadism.

"I'll arrest you for false accusations" Alaude growled and held his handcuffs out.

"Don't say foolish words, you ungrateful brat!" G yelled out as his glare on Lampo intensified with each passing second.

Lampo, being the brat he was or just being stupid answered back while snickering. "If you're not cowards, then pray tell why you haven't asked Giotto-nii about it yet…who would have thought asking Giotto-nii a question would be your weakness" The phrase had further enraged Giotto's most hot-headed, most sadist and most impatient guardians. Alaude, G and Daemon tried attacking the youngest guardian who had then ran behind Asari and Knuckle.

"Move you two if you don't want either of your bloods dripping and staining this very corridor." G glared at the two who had suddenly became Lampo's human shields.

"Killing without a valid reason was against the core values of the Vongola." Asari reasoned out as calmly as he could.

"Nufufu, we have enough reasons to maim him to death. First he was being a brat, next he was being a brat and lastly he was being a brat…oh, did I mention he was being a brat?" Daemon smirked. "That's enough valid reason for me."

"If you two won't step aside, you two shall be arrested." Alaude stated with a cold tone as he held out his handcuffs.

"Hurting kids are against the laws of heaven and humanity." Knuckle reminded them in a very fatherly tone.

"If I can recall, Nineteen year olds are adults and not kids. Nufufu. All tough this brat here still acts like, uhm, well a brat..that mere fact does not count" Daemon chuckled eerily as he stepped forward with a pair of scissors in hand, looking like he was planning to stab Lampo with it. Daemon smiled sadistically as the shears made a snipping sound.

"He's my prey so stand back, Melon-headed Paedophile" Alaude growled.

"Nufufu, you're wrong about that...this green headed idiot is my prey. So go hunt somewhere else mister." Daemon snickered at his co-guardian making Alaude start to attack him instead. Daemon side-stepped when the blond man tried landing a straight kick on his chin. Daemon smiled with amusement "Getting slow now, are you? must have meant that you are getting old~" The mist guardian teased in a sing-song voice. This had further irritated Alaude.

"I will arrest you and torture you to death."

"Nufufufu~"

"You two should stop trying to kill each other every time." Asari let out a sigh.

"We brothers should learn to get along. Hurting your brother is not the way of the heavens."

"I am not his brother!" Alaude glared and Daemon twitched.

"Tsch. Let them kill each other, I won't cry seeing their corpses lying bloody on the floor...heck, I won't care if they kill each other now as long as they won't interfere with me dealing with a green haired idiot." G spoke after making sure his gun is loaded with bullets.

Lampo gulped. Today was the end of him...he just knew it.

...or maybe not...

"Look Giotto left!"

The other guardians realizing their boss's absence can't help have similar reactions: disbelief. Damn they had been so close...

"For the sake of this matter, I'm postponing you're not so heroic death. Be thankful mister cloud guardian. Nufufu." Daemon commented with a very sarcastic tone but twitched when he realized that Alaude had already left via jumping down the window in a cool fashion.

...iOiOiOiOiOi...

Giotto would have loved to stay and have chit chats with his guardians and ask them what the problem was...but no, they just have to act like some childish, whatsoever brats right in front of him...nah, actually he wanted to finish all of his due for the week paper work so he can spend more time with his cute, adorable, little Tsunayoshi. His guardians can wait...

Giotto happily picked a random paper and started reading, added his own comments then placing the Vongola seal. He then placed it neatly beside him. He kept doing the same process over and over for the last thirty minutes when his office door suddenly burst open.

And his guardians all walked in... and stared at him with looks of awe, disbelief, mischief and betrayal.

Giotto raised a brow. "What?"

The guardians stared at each other and nodded.

"How come this morning you're a bachelor and now you're a dad?" Lampo asked yawning then had one brow rising. "and your telling me to get married first before having kids... you're not sticking to your own words"

"Nufufu. I've always known you had it in you" Daemon smirked. "But I never realized it was years too early."

"How could you betray me, Giotto?" G asked in a very hurtful tone. "I thought we we're supposed to have kids at the same time. I never thought you had betrayed that promise!...and worst you've betrayed me for the past few years!"

"Congratulations Giotto! Your finally a father" Asari happily walked forward and shook Giotto's hand. Then the man frowned. "How could you lie to us, Giotto?"

"May the heavens bless you on your long journey to fatherhood." Knuckle smiled. "However, I am a bit disappointed on you, my dear friend."

"For knocking a woman down without getting married, having a child out-of-wedlock and hiding the fact from us for that you shall be arrested." Alaude glared and had his handcuffs out.

"Hey I only just found it out myself today! so stop looking at me like I've done the most unforgivable crime in the world!" Giotto gave his friends a mock frown as he started acting being emotionally hurt. Oh, how he just loved messing up with his guardians "...and you address yourselves as my friends? What kind of so-called friends are you? Instead of supporting me with my happiness, here you all are, with all your mocking glory...giving me those looks of distrust and frowning. I had been a good friend haven't I...but why are you all..." Giotto covered his face to try hiding his now amused expression and to stop himself from laughing out loud.

The guilty look on his friends was just so damn priceless...

"Giotto..." G tried getting his friend's attention. Guilt shown on his eyes.

"Don't you dare mention my name, G! I never knew you can't trust me! I am your best friend but I think you've already thrown that fact away!" The blond inwardly snickered...oh this is so much better than this year's April Fool Prank.

"Primo...I didn't know, I'm sorry" Lampo quietly stated as he looked at Giotto with an apologetic look. He wasn't acting like the typical brat everyone's being accustomed too.

"You Lampo! since when did I betrayed you with my own words? I've always wanted the very best for you!" Giotto shouted with fake anger. Heck, he even fake glared at his guardians.

And he would have actually remained on his little acting a little longer if only he haven't seen Alaude's guilty face. Let's just say it just doesn't suit well with the aloof cloud guardian. The very thing had broken Giotto's act.

He knelt on the floor...stared at the carpets for several seconds, still trying to hide his amusement away. Until Daemon walked and pat him on his shoulder...that was when all hell started breaking loose.

Giotto broke into fits of laughter!

"Hahaha! Did you see your faces? Damn this is why I loved playing pranks on all of you! Hahaha!" Giotto clutched his stomach as he rolled on the floor.

Daemon twitched.

Alaude glared.

Lampo frowned.

Asari let out a not so amused chuckle.

Knuckle sighed.

and G looked like he was about to murder his best friend...

"Giotto!"

...iOiOiOiOiOi...

Meanwhile, somewhere back in Japan...

"I'm back, Father"

"Welcome back Takeshi, how was school?"

"Great. I signed for the baseball team tryout today." Takeshi beamed happily as he helped his 'father' clean a table.

"Well then, how did it go?"

"Fine, I guess. I really did my best back there and the baseball coach said that I have lots of potential."

"That's great." Tsuyoshi smiled back towards his 'son'

"Excuse me, I'm looking for a man named Tsuyoshi Yamamoto."

"I'm Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, how may I of help?"

"Oh I have a letter from Italy for you." The said man bowed and handed the letter over. "Please sign here as proof that you have indeed received the letter." The man pointed towards a space on the paper he was holding and handed Tsuyoshi his own pen. He then bowed with thanks and left but not after having some sushi for takeout.

Tsuyoshi then flipped the letter over to see who the sender was.

Realizing who it was, his eyes widened with shock and he unconsciously dropped the letter on the floor.

"Are you fine, Pops?" Takeshi asked with concern. "Who was it from?"

Tsuyoshi then looked at his 'son' who beamed at him sheepishly then averted his eyes on the now lying on the floor letter. He slowly picked it up and looked at the sender's identity once again, as if making sure that he had read those two exact words.

Asari Ugetsu

...iOiOiOiOiOi...

Knuckle can't really help but wonder how did the blond do it?

What kind of superhuman charm does Giotto have?

The priest can't help but wonder out loud as he stared at his friend with wonder...Just a few moments ago G was about ready to kill Giotto for pulling a prank on them and then the next moment, they have all gathered outside the mansion and we're all casually having some tea as if nothing had happened earlier, heck! even Alaude was here.

"I bet you all want to know about Tsuna." Giotto decided to start the conversation. He knew that it was what his friends had wanted to ask him. He knew or rather he felt...his intuition never failed him yet.

His words had stopped Knuckle from wondering, Daemon and Alaude from trying to kill each other via deadly glares, G from wanting to smack Lampo into kingdom come for acting like a brat again, Lampo for being a brat and Asari away from his current thoughts.

"Remind me to arrest you after this." Alaude was the first one to speak.

Giotto sighed. "I told you, I only just found out myself."

"Explain. Nufufu" Daemon said as he gently picked his teacup and took a gentle sip. Knowing Daemon's creepy and at times sadistic nature, seeing him act properly during tea time would be quite surprising to other people...but Daemon was of nobility so to the other members of the Vongola, seeing him act prim and proper was really not that surprising.

"You guys remember Nina, right?"

"Your ex lover who was Iemitsu's wife Nana's younger twin sister, who had mysteriously disappeared years ago?" G asked.

"Yes her, turns out that when she had left, she was pregnant with Tsunayosi." Giotto then started telling them everything Iemitsu had told."It all started when I received that phone call from Iemitsu asking me for some 'talk' I've got the feeling I should say yes and so I did. Hours later he arrived at my office with Tsunayoshi"

...flashback...

"Primo, someone's here to see you..." Annette, a young maid working inside the Vongola household informed once given the signal from Giotto to come in.

"Very well, please send him directly to me"

"Yes, Primo" Annette bowed down and left the room. Moments later Iemitsu walked inside the office, as he was about to close the door shut, Giotto caught glance at Tsuna whose face he can't see yet. He never knew why but he suddenly felt like the kid was an important someone in his life...and he saw himself still staring at his office door as if he actually has x-ray vision of some sort.

His attention from the door got interrupted when Iemitsu coughed to get his attention.

"Ah yes, Iemitsu what was this urgent matter that you can't discuss over the phone?" Giotto asked casually, as if he wasn't staring at the door like an idiot moments ago.

"I don't know where to start." Iemitsu's voice sounded so unsure, like he was having second thoughts on whatever he was about to say.

"If you're not ready now, maybe we can postpone it for some other time?" Giotto recommended. Iemitsu however shook his head. "No, this is the best time. I have to tell you now while I can still think clearly."

Giotto nodded. "I understand."

Iemitsu gave a thankful nod. "I think I should start from the beginning." Giotto did not interrupt the older man and patiently waited for the man to begin. Iemitsu then started to tell Giotto everything that had happened during that fateful day.

...flashback in a flashback...

"Father..."

Iemitsu Sawada lazily stood up. Rubbed his eyes and stretched before smiling sheepishly at his sons. "Finally here to admit how much of an awesome and handsome father I am?"

Tsuna chuckled at his father's retort while Basil remained impassive. Iemitsu had sensed the uneasiness emanating from his older son. "What's wrong Basil?"

"Why does Tsuna have a death certificate father?"

Iemitsu eyed his son with puzzlement. "What death certificate?"

Tsuna handed a piece of paper to his father. "We found it in the attic, sorry if it was a little crumpled"

Iemitsu's eyes widened when realization hit him. A memory suddenly flashed on his mind. He started to get suspicious. He would have to talk to Nana about the said matter. For now he had to keep the two boys away from the truth, well it was just suspicions but still...Iemitsu beamed at the boys "Oh this was just some printing errors when Tsuna was born, instead of a birth certificate the doctors wrongly gave us a death one"

Basil gave an 'o' face.

Tsuna meanwhile stared at his father. Why does it feel like Iemitsu was actually hiding something?

"Why don't you two just go play at the yard" Iemitsu gently pushed the two kids away. There was an unreadable expression on his face as he dialled a number "Could you please get me Nana Sawada?"

"Right away sir"

iOiOiOiOiOi…

"What's wrong dear?" Nana gently asked as she entered their humble abode. Iemitsu gave his wife a serious look. "There's something I need you to clarify and I want you to tell me the truth"

"Of course dear"

Iemitsu then handed a now familiar piece of paper to his wife. "What's the meaning of this?" Nana's eyes widened when she saw the piece of paper. "How did you...?"

"Tsuna and Basil found it" Iemitsu looked at his wife. "Tell me the truth, Nana"

"I..."

"Mother you're back" Basil smiled as he entered the house with Tsunayoshi following not far behind.

"Okaa-san, aren't you supposed to relax today?" Tsuna asked curiously. Nana smiled at her sons. "Well I suddenly missed you guys and just had to get home immediately"

Iemitsu meanwhile grabbed some money out of his pockets. "Why don't the two of you grab some ice cream, you're mother and I needed to discuss something?"

"Can I have a burger instead?"

"Of course...Just don't eat too much okay? Or you might miss dinner"

"Yes, Okaa-san"

iOiOiOiOiOi…

"Tsuna's not really our son is he?" Iemitsu asked as he clenched his fists.

"He is our son!"

"No he's not! He was his son and you kept the fact hidden from us!" Iemitsu's voice raised a little before calming down. He then stared at his wife before muttering the very question Nana wouldn't want to answer."Why?"

Nana sobbed. "I don't know...it was a rushed decision. I wasn't thinking clearly at that time. I've lost my son and when the doctors told me that Nina died giving birth with Tsunayoshi I suddenly became filled with hope. Tsuna was the Angel sent to replace my son"

"Your wrong..." Iemitsu's voice lowered "Your wrong about making Tsuna as our son's replacement. "Tsuna was his very own identity, not a replacement for someone else. He had his own individuality, his own identity and you took and hid it away from him."

"I lost a child and when a new one came..." Nana felt tears coming down her eyes "..when Tsuna came..he was an angel...what am I supposed to do?"

"Why did you hide the truth?" Iemitsu's voice was heard not knowing that his sons are on their way back home. Tsuna looked at his brother with puzzlement. Why does their father sound so off and betrayed? Their mom never said anything. Iemitsu spoke again. "What about him? Did he have any idea?"

"No..." Nana's voice was trembling.

"But why? He deserves to know the truth. He was his son, Nana"

"No! He was my son"

"He is not your son. You have no right to take him away from where he truly belong" Iemitsu's voice cracked but there was a sense of finality on his words. "I am going to talk to him"

"No please, he might take my Tsuna away from me!" Nana sobbed and begged.

"He deserves to know everything and if he decides to take Tsuna, it would be his right" Iemitsu then opened the door and is beyond surprised when he saw both Tsuna and Basil standing at the doorway. Both having unreadable expression on their faces.

"Did you two..." A nod from Basil confirmed Iemitsu's suspicions.

"I-is it t-true, Father?" Tsuna asked stuttering, his voice clear with sadness "t-that I'm n-not y-your son?"

"Listen Tsuna..." Iemitsu walked towards his son and had his hands on the boy's shoulders. "You're a smart kid and I'm sure you would understand" The boy nodded. "I'll try"

"Before anything else we would want you to know that we all love you and we'll always be here for you, no matter what happens. We are your family"

"Of course!" Tsuna smiled happily. Nana smiled weakedly as she stared at his son. Sure it was wrong to take Tsuna away from his father but seeing her son now, she never felt any kind of regret...her regret was the fact that her little tuna may able to forgive her for what she did.

"Tsuna, remember that death certificate you and your big brother found?" Iemitsu asked. The boy nodded. "Yes, father."

"It has your name right?" again another nod. "That belongs to our son, Tsunayoshi who was around the same age as you. Your mother gave birth to her the same time Nina gave birth to her own son. Unfortunately, misfortune struck at us that time and our son passed away just hours after your mother gave birth to him...then when your mother reached the news that her twin sister who was also on labor that day had died giving birth to her son, your mother decided to take her deceased sister's son away as replacement for the son that had already become an angel and that boy, whom your mother had taken away was no one else but you."

Tsuna despite being a smart kid is still too young and took some time to process the information. "Does it mean I am not your son?" The boy asked, tears about to escape its way from his eyes. Nana rushed over and took the boy on her arms. "Of course Tsuna, you will forever be our son and you will forever be Basil's little brother...you might have found the truth but it doesn't change that we love you no matter what!"

The boy smiled, satisfied with his mother's answer. "But what about my real Papa? do you think he'll like Tsuna?" The boy asked.

"Of course, I know him personally and he's a great man. I'm sure he won't only like you but he would love you" Iemitsu ruffled his son's hair. He then jokingly added. "... and if he won't, I'll smash him with my muscled arms!" Tsuna giggled but stopped noticing his brother's saddened face. "What's wrong Basil-nii?"

"If you're not really my brother then does that mean you are leaving us to go to your real father are you going to forget about us?" Basil questioned.

"Basil, we need to make the right decision...Tsuna belongs to someone else" Iemitsu looked at his son. "It's a hard thing for us to do but we have too"

Tsuna smiled. "Yes I want to see my real papa but it does not mean I'm going to forget you guys! We are family and I Love you guys!"

Basil smiled. "I'll always be your big brother, right?"

Tsuna beamed. "Of course you will be my best big brother in the big, wide universe!" the boy spread his hands for emphasis.

"But what if a new big brother comes along? Or worst new big brothers!?" Basil asked with fear.

"Then they'll be second, third, fourth, fifth and so on best big brothers but you are always my first big brother!" Basil smiled at his younger brother's answer before rushing to give Tsuna a big hug. Nana smiled at her boys while Iemitsu happily shouted. "Family Group Hug!" Before pulling his wife to join the hugging session.

...end flashback in a flashback...

Giotto stared at Iemitsu with shock but slowly, yes slowly regained his mafia boss composure...he had a son? He had a son!? He had a son!..okay one more time! He had a son! wait, not enough! HE HAS A SON!

"I have a son!"

Iemitsu blinked. "You're not mad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, irritated, sad or whatever that we hid the fact from you?"

Giotto grinned. "You explained the situation well and I even if Nana had done me wrong, I really can't blame her for what she did. She was just a mother who had loved a son so much so what's may no on that one? Besides, in reality, I really am thankful to you and to her, You gave my son a family!" Giotto smiled.

"You really are one of a kind" Iemitsu chuckled.

"Can I meet my mini me?" Giotto asked eagerly. Iemitsu nodded. "He's actually with me. He's waiting outside your office." Giotto smiled. He's obviously filled with excitement and he had no intention hiding the very fact. However, Iemitsu's voice stopped his tracks.

"Giotto.."

"Yes?"

"I am just warning you that if ever something bad happens to him or if one single news arrives of him getting hurt, I am going to take him back!" Iemitsu stated in a dead serious tone. Giotto nodded. "You have my word Iemitsu"

Satisfied, Iemitsu nodded.

...end flashback...

"That's the story..." Giotto blinked. "Hey! I'm pretty sure I still have a slice of Vanilla cake left! Where did it go? Who took it?"

"We are talking about your son here so forget the damn cake!" G twitched. "...and I still can't believe you're a father!"

"I'll let you go this time!" Alaude stood up and walked away.

"May the heavens bring blessings upon your son!" Knuckle prayed

"Does it mean I'm not the youngest here anymore? Cool!" Lampo stated happily.

"Nufufu. Cheers to you Primo now I'm off to piss Mr. Cloud guardian as I'm bored and got nothing fun to do!" Daemon then disappeared, being accompanied by a puff of mist.

"Congratulations Giotto!" Asari smiled.

"Thank you!" Giotto smiled. "...And what would you want to ask me Asari?" Giotto questioned. The Asian man blinked. "How do you know I'm supposed to ask you something?"

"Simple. I am your friend." Giotto smiled sheepishly. "That and G told me..."

Asari nodded. "Can I have permission to go back to Japan?"

"Japan?" Lampo asked "Can I come with you? I haven't been to Japan before!"

"Tsch. You'll probably just annoy him there!" G stated. " Oh wait, go ahead and let us have a few days break away from your brat like attitude."

"Sure but I'm counting on you to tell me every detail on your return and Lampo ask Asari's permission." Giotto stated as his eyes averted from Asari to Lampo.

Lampo looked at the rain guardian with hopeful eyes. Asari nodded. "Sure, I don't think there'll be a problem!"

"Don't forget to bring back souvenirs! and a special gift" Giotto reminded.

"They haven't even packed yet" G can't help but sigh at his friend's antic.

If only they knew...something special was bound to happen!


Thanks for reading!
