AN: Thank you very much for the reviews!

Warnings: Slash later on, Violence, slight brother complexes.

Hidetada- Name of the third son of Tokugawa Ieyasu. (This was the only name that started with H in the Tokugawa family tree, and since Imetsu and Tsuna are named after shoguns I decided to follow that.)

{Caro Fratello}

"So I heard you didn't do anything to Mochida." Ryuu casually remarked.

Hidetada gave him a smile. "I wonder about that."

The blonde blinked confused, before turning his head back to the road. The sun was just beginning to rise and the birds awakening. As the president and vice president of the student council they needed to get to school earlier than the other members, but not every day. Sometimes it was to talk to a teacher while others it was to check that everything was in order. They were currently heading to school since it was one of the early days.

When he had heard that Hidetada did nothing to Mochida, Ryuu had been rather disappointed that the kendo captain wasn't properly taught why it wasn't okay to mess with the younger Sawada. He had thought that Hidetada would have at least given the Kendo captain a detention slip, but like many of the teachers he just seemed to ignore what had happened yesterday. Which was surprising in its own right, Hidetada wasn't one to hold back.

It was when the school finally got in view and they had entered to the grounds that something caught his eye.

His turned his head up, his eyes widening. "What in the world?"

There hanging on the top most of Nanimori middle school, was the bald Mochida hanging by his boxers and looking thoroughly terrified. He was sure the kendo captain could scream he would be, but Ryuu could just make out the duct tape on his mouth that was stopping him.

"Is something wrong Ryuu?"

Ryuu turned his gaze at the smiling Sawada before turning back to Mochida and broke out into a large grin. "Heh," He brought his hands behind his head walking forward. "Nothing at all Seitokaicho."

As expected of Seitokaicho, he never let people go unpunished if they harassed his younger brother.

Good thing Tetsuo sent money to Mochida's parents yesterday, because the captain was going to need more than just therapy.

{Caro Fratello}

"There's a volleyball tournament scheduled for later this morning."

Hidetada nodded, continuing to fill out the papers on his desk.

Tetsuo shifted in his seat. "And they're off two members."

The president hummed but otherwise remained silent.

Exchanging looks the student council members turned their eyes toward the brunette.

"What he's saying is…" Amaya started, suddenly appearing beside Ryuu.

The blonde jumped violently in his chair. "The hell Amaya! Don't just appear so suddenly!"

"I've been here the whole time." She replied blandly before turning back to Hidetada, "What Tetsuo is saying, is that you are the person next in line to substitute."

This made him pause. "What about Inoue?"

"Sick."

"Hayashi?"

"Sick."

"…Fujioka?"

"Sick."

Hidetada sighed setting his pencil down to message the bridge of his nose. "What a coincidence, the three students that just so happen to be ahead of me gets sick at the same time. Reborn…"

"Seitokaicho?"

He waved dismissively. "It's nothing… I guess I'll have to get ready." He got up from his seat heading toward the door.

Ryuu nudged Tetsuo, giving him a look.

The treasurer coughed. "Actually there's something else…"

Hidetada paused and turned his head. "Yes?"

"Um, I don't know how to say this, but um…" Tetsuo glanced around nervously. "Tsuna is also playing."

Hidetada paused before nodding, that was okay just as long as-

"He'sonthesideyourteamisplayingagainst."

"Talk slower Tetsuo, I couldn't hear a word you said."

Fiddling with his computer mouse, Tetsuo reluctantly repeated what he said. "Tsuna is on the side your team in playing against."

Hidetada froze, his entire body becoming immobile.

The clock was the only thing that made a sound.

Tick

Tock

Tick

Tock

"T-that w-won't be too h-hard." Hidetada stuttered, visibly shaking. "I-I can just m-make sure n-not to w-win any points."

The elite four watched silently as the brunette made his way toward the gym, his legs stiff.

"How long do you think he will last?" Ryuu finally asked.

Tetsuo titled his head thoughtfully. "Last time something like this happened was the soccer match, he lasted for seven minutes before fainting from stress."

Amaya nodded, chewing on her pocky stick. "Before though, he kept on passing Tsuna the ball."

Ryuu sighed. "Kaicho really is useless when he has to go against his brother."

Which was true, Hidetada may be protective of his brother and seen as a strong figure to the student body. But when it came to going against his Tsuna he was a complete failure. Ryuu, who knew Hidetada longer, could remember when the president was pitted against Tsuna in a race. At first it had been okay, Hidetada was relatively good at sports so he had been wining, but unfortunately once he had glanced toward his brother everything went into chaos. Ryuu didn't know if it was the sight of seeing his brother having a hard time, or the thought that Tsuna was having a hard time because of him. Either way he ended up tripping on thin air and falling flat on his face. Intentional or not, Tsuna ended up winning and Hidetada was a happy, but scraped up, older brother.

Ryuu could only guess that his inner 'dame' appeared whenever he went against his younger brother.

"I'm going to watch." Amaya suddenly said getting up from her chair.

Ryuu followed. "Me too, I want to see how this ends."

Tetsuo glanced up from his computer. "I'm not going, sports isn't my thing."

The two members sent him bland looks.

"What?!" Tetsuo exclaimed.

"Right, I just think you want to have some time alone to look up porn." Ryuu snickered.

Tetsuo's face turned red. "A-absolutely not! I have money to organize!"

"Right." Ryuu snorted giving the treasurer a good natured grin.

"Just go already," Tetsuo snapped turning in his chair to face his computer.

Chuckling Ryuu did as he was told. It was always fun to rile the brunette up, almost as fun as watching Hidetada go on a 'protect younger brother' rampage. Even if Tetsuo was similar to an old man with his outlook on life, it never stopped Ryuu from picking on him.

People may call him temperamental and scary, but he really just liked to joke around. But unfortunately he had a shorter fuse then most people so when he snapped, well it wasn't pretty. There wasn't anything Ryuu could do about it, if people didn't understand not to get him angry then they would more than likely face his wrath at some point. Hibari was the one who usually got him angry though, with his 'holier than thou' attitude and insistent habit of categorizing people as herbivores or carnivores, not that anyone was good enough to be a carnivore, the prefect irked his nerves. Though it usually ended with Hibari winning and Ryuu getting sent to the hospital, it didn't stop him from confronting the tonfa wielder when he got mad.

His name didn't mean dragon spirit for nothing after all.

{Caro Fratello}

Standing in the crowd beside Ryuu, Amaya watched the nervous form of the Kaicho as he waited for the game to begin.

She bit off a piece of pocky in thought. She was one newer members of the group, having only joined last year, so she had only seen Hidetada go against his brother once. Which didn't end well, but she found it amusing. She hadn't seen someone with a complex like Hidetada before in her life, but she could only assume that it was troublesome in its own right, she couldn't imagine not being able to not let her sibling win.

Not that she had a sibling, but if she used her imagination it worked fine.

But perhaps, she thought idly, the complex was formed because of something in his childhood.

"Begin!" The referee shouted.

She kept her eyes on Hidetada, not wanting to miss anything.

The volleyball was hit with a loud smack and sent toward the other side, conveniently aimed toward Tsuna. But to her surprise the wide eyed brunette completely missed it and was hit in the stomach, falling to the ground in pain. This was odd, wasn't Tsuna supposed to be strong? He certainly was when he fought against Mochida, but then again he did look different.

Hidetada violently flinched.

The crowd paused, looking at Tsuna oddly.

"Ehh?" A girl questioned.

"That's weird…" Another student said.

The ball was once again served.

"Tsuna here it comes!" One of his teammates shouted.

He missed again.

And again.

And again.

Hidetada looked like he was seeing someone kill a kitten. His face had a horrified look as he watched his brother fall around the court in an attempt to hit the ball, his arms completely slack.

"It looks like Hidetada is about to die," Ryuu observed. "I don't think he can last much longer, not with his brother getting hurt as much as he is."

Amaya nodded. "Seitokaicho really is useless when it comes to going against his brother."

The blonde snorted. "You haven't seen anything yet, just wait until the ball goes toward his direction."

"Play seriously!" One of Tsuna's teammates snapped at the younger Sawada.

"You really are Dame-Tsuna!" Another remarked.

Hidetada flinched but did nothing.

Eventually the set ended, Tsuna's team losing horribly.

Amaya brought out another pocky stick, "Hidetada really isn't doing anything but standing there…"

Ryuu snorted. "That's all his body will allow him to do."

After a few moments, the game started again. Though Tsuna had left the room momentarily he came back after a few moments, returning to his position.

Oddly enough a gunshot echoed through the building and Tsuna fell to the ground, Hidetada flinched once again when this happened, but Amaya couldn't spot any blood so she guessed Tsuna was okay.

The ball was served again only for Tsuna to leap up and above the volleyball net, blocking the ball with the lower part of his body.

Everyone was silenced, stunned by what just had happened.

The ball was conveniently sent toward Hidetada's direction, and Amaya watched as he made a weak attempt to hit the ball back only to miss and the ball to hit him directly in the face.

Hidetada fell to the ground with a thump, not moving from his spot.

"Well," Ryuu said after a moment. "That was anticlimactic."

{Caro Fratello}

Tsuna watched his unconscious brother nervously, his brother's friends had brought him home explaining what had happened, and he couldn't help but feel guilty. Deliberate or not he was the one that made Aniki faint and break his glasses, and it broke his heart.

"Sorry Aniki…" He whispered, not expecting an answer.

Surprisingly Hidetada stirred and his eyes opened, the lack of glasses only allowing Tsuna to properly see the pure emerald green that only Hidetada could pull off. He had always loved his brother's eyes, and was saddened when his brother had to get glasses, they shouldn't be covered up and away from the world.

"Tsuna?" His brother mumbled tiredly, motioning him closer.

Tsuna quickly complied. "What's the matter Aniki-umpf!"

In a flash and rustle of sheets Tsuna was snatched up into his older brother's bed and promptly brought into an embrace. He struggled for a moment, surprised, before letting his body relax and snuggled into his brother's slightly bigger body.

"Sorry Tsuna," Hidetada smiled down at him. "I'll make sure nothing like today happens again."

Tsuna blinked. "Like what?"

"Your teammates yelled at you because you couldn't hit the ball and I did nothing."

Tsuna frowned. "It's fine Aniki, everything ended out okay so it's fine."

"But-"

"No." Tsuna said firmly. "It's fine."

Hidetada blinked before sending him a gentle smile. "You really are cute Otōto."

Tsuna blushed. "Aniki!"

His brother chuckled, snuggling into his spiky hair. "Don't worry I like it when you're cute."

Tsuna sputtered. "I-I'm not cute!"

"Right."

"I'm not!"

{Caro Fratello}

"I'll be glad to come."

"Good," Reborn replied "I'll be waiting, ciao "

Reborn shut the green phone with a click allowing his partner to shift back.

Though Hidetada was helpful, he could be a little too protective. He knew eventually the older Sawada would end up interfering with Tsuna's training, and that wasn't acceptable. So he had decided to call the best person that could train him, thankfully the new trainer would be coming soon, so Hidetada wouldn't have enough time to worry about his brother, school and training.

Besides Hidetada was of Vongola blood, and even if he didn't have the sky flame he needed to be trained so he could be in Tsuna's Famigila. He would do it himself, but since Tsuna was supposed to be his main priority another tutor was going to come.

Hopefully by the time that Tsuna became the boss, Hidetada would have gotten rid of his brother complex.

{Caro Fratello}

AN: So we've seen some of Hidetada's faults, he's a person he does need them, and there was a nice brother bonding time, I thought it was nice at least… :) I hope you enjoyed the story, next chapter will more than likely have Gokudera in it.
