Hey everyone. I was able to finish my homework so I can update today. Yay. And to answer any doubts of the day this is happening in, its Thursday night right about now.

Anyways, here's chapter 10.

Enjoy.

Recap:

I walk over to him and our eyes met.

Is sat down on the edge of the bed without breaking eye contact.

"Hey." I said softly.

"Hi." Was his response spoken weakly.

Giotto's P.O.V:

"How are you feeling?" I asked not able to hide the worry in my voice.

"Ok but my head hurts. What happened?" He asked softly. His gaze looks a little glassy and he looks exhausted even though he's been sleeping for hours now.

"You don't remember? You pushed me out of the way from a speeding car that ran a red light but when you jumped out of the way your head hit the edge of the sidewalk." I explained slowly.

"Oh, really? I don't remember that. Where are we anyways? This doesn't look like a hospital." He asked looking around confusedly.

"It isn't. You were already discharged and I brought you to my apartment. I at least wanted you to be awake when you went to your house; it would be easier to explain to your mother what happened." I said.

"Oh right." He kept staring at me through half lidded eyes. Confusion and hesitation flashed through his eyes now. He looked more awake right now than when we started the conversation.

"Tsuna are you sure you're alright? You hit your head pretty hard. Do you feel dizzy, queasy or light headed?" I asked him.

"No it's just, huh…" He trailed off looking at me unsurely. Why is he looking at me like that?

Wait, what if he…

"Tsuna do you know who I am?" I asked both worried and nervous about the answer he will give.

He looked away and back at me with a hesitation and a hint of guilt in his eyes. With just that I already knew the answer before he shook his head. Which apparently wasn't a good idea because soon afterwards he was wincing.

I can't believe it, he lost his memory.

I looked away for a second and put my face in my hands, then ran my fingers through my hair. I was lost.

I had no idea what to do now. I never dealt with someone who lost their memory much less someone I know and cared about…

I don't know how to feel about this. I look back at Tsuna who was staring at me with a more prominent look of guilt in his eyes now. Damn. Someone has to do or say something and it has to be me. Tsuna is in no condition to take charge of the situation right now. He's not sure where he is and he's with a total stranger that's telling him he got hurt saving him.

Well, a total stranger to him anyways…

"I-I'm sorry, but I can't re-remember who you are o-or your n-name. Are you ok?" He asked weakly and on the verge of tears.

He's the one who lost his memory and he's asking if I'm ok. God this kid is so incredibly kind and amazing.

"Yeah, I'm ok. And you don't have to apologize; it's not your fault. And my name is Giotto Ieyasu, I'm a friend." I said softly trying to reassure him.

"Ieyasu-san." He tried the name. It felt weird hearing him say my surname instead of calling me Giotto-san.

"Call me Giotto-san, that's what you usually call me." I said.

"Oh ok, Giotto-san." He said.

Much better.

"Tsuna, what is the last thing you remember?" I asked trying to get a feel on this whole situation.

He looked at me with a pensive gaze. He was trying to recall he's last memories.

"The last thing I remember is going home alone after school then everything went black and I woke up here." He said.

"I see." I said. I couldn't know if that really happened earlier or if it was a memory from another day seeing that I wasn't there.

"Tsuna, you really don't remember anything about me? Nothing at all?" I asked.

He shook his head.

"How about someone named Yamamoto and Reborn?" I asked.

Another shake of the head.

"Who are they?" He asked curiously.

"Your classmates and a friend." I said the friend part in singular tense on purpose because of what Tsuna told me earlier he doesn't consider Reborn a friend but he doesn't dislike him either.

"Oh." He said looking way.

I was thinking on what else to ask him.

"How about your parents? What do you remember about them?" I asked.

"I remember where we live and that Okaa-san cooks really delicious and that Oto-san works late hours but when he's home we have a lot of fun and he gives me private lessons." He said.

This both shocked and worried me. Tsuna told me he's father move away for work in Europe years ago and that he barely visits because of he's job. Tsuna also resents him for it.

Now he's telling me this as if he was living with him now. Oh Kami-sama I think he's stuck in the memory of the past. He has no recollection of what's going on now and that he's father doesn't live with him anymore.

"I see. Um, Tsuna what year is it?" I asked dreading the answer that I know will confirm my suspicion. Something is telling me it will.

"It's 2008." He said.

Silence.

"Giotto-san, what's wrong?" He asked looking at my worried expression.

"Um, Tsuna I don't know how to tell you this so I'm just going to come and say it. It's not 2008 its 2012."

Awkward silence.

He looked shocked beyond believe but come on who wouldn't be when some guy tells you that it's four years more than the date you were sure it was.

"I-I don't, but, huh…" He mumbled nonsense, still not recovered.

He then tried to sit up in his shocked state and I jumped to my feet, and grabbed his shoulders easing him back to a laying position.

"Easy, you shouldn't sit up yet. Look I know this is a lot of information to take in but you have to rest and take it easy. You have a serious head injury and you need to give it time to properly heal." I said as I laid him down.

He tried to sit up again but I was stronger than him and forced him to lay still. My words apparently reached him because he stopped struggling.

He opened and closed his mouth multiple times looking around the room frankly, trying to say something but no words came out.

"Relax Tsuna. Breathe in." I said as I noticed his breathing was coming in short and fast.

He listened to me and started to breathe in slowly and deeply. When he calmed down and looked like he wasn't going to try to sit up again I let him go. We stayed there for a while in silence, him controlling his breathing and me staring at him.

"Why don't you get some rest and we'll talk about this tomorrow?" I suggested.

"Ok but what about Okaa-san and Oto-san; I have to go home." He said rising his voice a little bit which made him wince again and reach up to his bandaged head.

"I think it's better if you stay here tonight, Tsuna. It's late and you aren't in any condition to be walking to the other side of town. I'll take you to your house tomorrow morning. And I'll call you mom and let her know where you are so she doesn't worry anymore, ok?" I said. Then I realized my error.

"Ok, but why did you say 'your mom' instead of saying your parents?" He asked catching on.

Dammit.

I knew he catch up on my slip, he's a really observant and smart person even in this state.

"I'll tell you tomorrow, ok? You should go back to sleep and I'll wake you up later to give you some dinner, how does that sound?" I asked smiling a little bit. It was genuine but I really didn't feel like really smiling my usual happy smile, not in this situation.

"That sounds like a good idea." He said groggily while rubbing one eye with the back of his hand and yawning.

'So cute…' I thought.

"Alright then, good night." I said as I got up to leave.

I turned to leave but then I felt a hand grab my sleeve. I look back at Tsuna but he was looking at anywhere but at me while blushing.

"Tsuna?" I asked feeling kind of amused by his flustered expression.

"Would y-you mind staying un-until I fall a-asleep? Please, I just don't want to be alone right now." He said still not looking at me.

My eyes went wide at his words before I smiled a little. How could I say no to him? Besides he needs somebody with him. I can imagine how hard and frustrating it must be right now for him, being in a strange place with no memory of the past four years.

"Sure, I will stay with you until you fall asleep." I said reassuringly and turned around to take my spot at the edge of the bed once again. He looked at me surprised that I said yes and smile a little grateful smile.

"Arigato." He said softly as he closed his eyes.

"No problem." I replied.

I watched as he soon started drifting off again. I grabbed his that was laid next to mine and held it tight, entwining our fingers.

I looked at his peaceful face as I felt him squeeze my hand in return in his sleep. My eyes softened at that action. I turned a little and with my free hand I ran my fingers through his soft brown locks, minding the bandages so I wouldn't touch them.

I which I could see him like this more often.

And as soon as I heard him breathe soft and stably, I bent down to kiss the top of his head and then got up quietly to not wake him up, detangled our fingers, shut off the dim lights and headed for the door closing it softly behind me.

I sighed loudly.

Then I looked at my wrist watch that stated it to be 10:34 pm. And headed down stairs were the others were waiting.

"Hey, how is he?" Asked G upon my arrival, then he got a good look at my troubled expression.

"What's wrong?" He asked already knowing something is bothering me.

Everyone was looking at me, waiting for an answer.

"He doesn't have nausea and isn't light headed or dizzy but…" I trailed off, closing my eyes and sighing aloud again.

"Giotto, what's the matter?" This time it was Asari asking. He's usually happy and care free expression erased from his features, instead replaced with worry for Tsuna even though he hasn't even met him, he's just that kind of person.

"Tsuna has amnesia." I said looking at here expressions.

"What?" Asked G.

I proceeded to tell them our conversation. Then took my get my cell phone when our conversation was over to call the one person I know that could help me get the message to Tsuna's mom and was trustworthy.

The phone rang twice before heard him pick it up.

"Ciousso, Giotto. Is there a reason why you're calling me this late?" Came Reborn voice on the other side of the phone call.

"Reborn, I need your help with something important. It's about Tsuna." I said with a serious tone.

He must have understood it was a no nonsense kind of situation and that it was really important because he too was serious now.

"What happened?" He asked in his usual serious voice.

I explained today's events and asked if he had Tsuna residential phone number. He told me he didn't but that he would get it now to inform he's mother of her son whereabouts. I didn't doubt that, knowing Reborn and how well connected he is, he will get the number in no time. He also said he was coming over to check up on Tsuna and before I could get a word in he hung up.

I hit the end button again and called the number the doctor at the hospital gave me today.

"Who are you calling?" Asked Knuckles curiously.

"The hospital that treated Tsuna today." I answered back.

A woman on the other side picked up the call and when I asked if Dr. Oda was still on, she said that she would get him and put me on hold for like 6 minutes before I heard his voice come on the other line.

"Hello?" He said.

"Dr Oda? This is Giotto Ieyasu I was in the hospital earlier today accompanying my friend that you treated, Sawada Tsunayoshi." I said.

"Oh yes I remember you. How is Sawada-san? Has he woken up yet?" He asked.

"That's what I called you about." I said then explained for the third time in the last 30 minutes Tsuna's condition and the information that I know.

"I see. It seems you friend is suffering from a rare case of amnesia even though the wound was received in the frontal lobe not his temporal lobe, where the parts of the parts that take care of memories are located, the force of the impact still affected it. It's not common but it does happen, when someone receives a hard hit to the skull resulting in some head trauma it can cause that person to lose certain memories that had an impact in their lives and in some cases it can make them lose months or even years' worth of memories at a time. He explained.

"But this is only temporary right?" I asked praying that he would say yes.

"It's hard to say. One can't always be sure with these kinds of things. The brain is a tricky thing and I can't say with certainty if this is temporary or not. But I wish to see him tomorrow if possible to evaluate his condition." He said.

"Yes, of course. Thank you for your time Dr. Oda. And I'll make sure Tsuna visits you tomorrow." I said disappointed with the answer to my question.

"Alright then, good night Ieyasu-san. And don't hesitate to call me if something else comes up or if there's a change in his condition, ok?" He asked.

"Ok, thank you again and good night." I said and with that I hung up.

I sighed.

There was a loud knock at the door and I went to open it, already knowing who it was.

"Reborn." I said acknowledging him.

"Giotto." He said with a nod.

I moved aside to let him in, not even bothering to ask how he knew my address because this is Reborn were talking about.

He stepped inside and looked around.

"I see everyone is here. Ciousso." He said to everyone.

"Reborn-san." Said Asari.

"Reborn." G acknowledged.

"Hope you been well, Reborn." Said Knuckles.

"Hm, Reborn." Said Lampo from his spot on the couch.

"Kufufu, it's been a while since we last met." Said Daemon.

"Hn." Was all Alaude said as he nodded also acknowledging he's presence.

They met each other through me back in Italy countless times.

"Where's Tsuna?" He asked as I closed the door and walked only to stop next to him.

"He's upstairs sleeping. Did you call his mother?" I asked.

"Of course, I told her that he had an accident but he was in a safe place now and that he was already treated. I didn't tell her about the amnesia because I didn't see the point in worrying her more tonight if you're not going to let him leave tonight which something tells me you're not going to, am I right?" He asked already knowing the answer. I could tell. When you know Reborn as long as I have then you learn to read him as much as possible as a person can read Reborn.

"Yes, you are. And thank you for your help. I also just called the doctor that attended Tsuna earlier today and explained the situation. He said it's not common but that this situation has happened before and that he can't say for certain if this is temporary or not, but that we should take Tsuna to him tomorrow to see him and I agreed." I said.

"I see. We should take him early tomorrow but only after he sees his mom and we notify her." He said.

"I agree." I said.

"Anyways I have to make him something to eat. He hasn't eaten anything in hours and he needs all the strength he can." I said moving towards the kitchen.

"Let us help with that, Giotto. You had a rough day." Offered Asari.

"Yeah we'll take care of that. You should take a break and remain free just in case he wakes up again." Added G.

"No, I don't want to trouble you guys." I said.

"It's no trouble, right G?" Asked Asari for G's confirmation.

He nodded.

"Sit down, Giotto. We'll make him some food." He said and disappeared through the kitchen followed by Asari. I was not worried because both G and Asari were excellent cooks so I was sure Tsuna wasn't going to be poisoned or anything by what they make.

I sighed and took a sit on the couch next to Lampo.

Then I looked at Reborn with a sad expression and close my eyes. Even with the earlier conversation with my friends, I can't seem to believe that I'm to blame for all this. For Tsuna getting injured and losing his memory.

"It's not your fault so there's no use in blaming yourself." Reborn spoke up.

I opened my eyes and looked at him, he was leaning on the wall that was behind him with his intense gaze trained on me and his arms crossed. He's always been good at reading people. He ten lowers his head so his fedora was covering his eyes with a shadow.

"Even if I want to blame you, I couldn't because it's not your fault so stop beating yourself up over it. It's not going to help you and it certainly isn't going to help Tsuna." He said.

There was silence in the room as everyone stares at him.

And even though my friends already told me this, coming from Reborn is different. I really believed him when he said that, I believed him because Reborn isn't the type of person to say something like that or any type of lie to spare ones feelings even if it's a hard time in their life, if the person did something wrong and it truly was their fault he would tell them out straight what they did wrong and his opinion on it because he thought that was a better way for someone to learn from their mistakes even though it may be harsh.

"But I do think you were wrong and are an idiot for not calling me sooner when Tsuna was in the hospital." He said.

-….-

See what I mean. Harsh and bold.

Sigh. I guess I deserved that one.

We waited live 20 more minutes and Asari came to inform me that the soup they made was ready.

Man, those two were fast. Though they made a simple, light soup so it wouldn't be too much for Tsuna's stomach to handle when he might still get sick and return it.

I looked over at Reborn.

"Are you coming?" I asked.

He nodded.

And we both went up the stairs and into my room where I turned on the lights on low so they wouldn't bother him.

Then I slowly walked to the side of my bed with Reborn at my heels. Then I took one last look at his peaceful face before I touched his shoulder and gently shook him.

"Tsuna, wake up." I said softly.

He stirred and then his eyes lids fluttered before opening and exposing two honey colored pools.

"Tsuna dinners ready." I said smiling a little at him.

"Ok." He said as he looked at me for the first time and then focused on the person behind me.

He looked confused.

"Giotto-san, who is that?" He asked.

"This is Reborn. Remember I mentioned him earlier?" I said.

"Oh yeah, hello." He said softly.

"Ciousso, Tsuna. How's your head?" He asked. And I noticed he didn't use the nickname he usually does considering Tsuna wouldn't know about it and would probably feel upset at being insulted by a stranger.

"Um, it's better than before but it still hurts." He said.

"I'll give you something for that after you eaten. Now would you prefer to eat in bed or downstairs?" I said.

"Downstairs." He responded.

"Alright let me help you up then." I said.

With that I grabbed his right hand and put my left behind he's back for support to help him sit.

When he looked ok to continue, I got up and slowly pulled him from the bed when he put his feet on the floor. As soon as he stood up straight his left hand went to his head and he's eyes went unfocused before he lost balance. I quickly grabbed him and leaned him on me so I would carry his weight.

"You ok?" I asked.

"Huh, yeah. I just got a little bit dizzy." He said.

Reborn and I didn't comment.

"Are you alright to walk now?" I asked.

"Yes." He answered.

I let go of him and put him upright.

He looked stable so I motioned for him to go first and I stayed back just in case he got dizzy again, so I would be able to catch him in time.

Reborn opened the door and went first.

"I just wanted to warn you Tsuna that my friends are here and there all good people so you don't have to be afraid of them." I said given him a heads up.

"Ok. Have I met them before?" He asked.

"No, you hadn't had the chance." He said.

"Oh." He replied.

Now we were at the stairs and when they heard our footsteps they all looked up including Asari and G who were back from the kitchen.

Reborn descended the stairs first and looked at Tsuna after only taking a few steps. Tsuna as staring at the other people present in the living room. Then he looked at Reborn and started to go down the stairs with be behind him.

When there were only 5 steps left, Tsuna's mid aired step faltered and he fell forwards. I motion to grab him but my fingers only had time to grace his shirt.

Thankfully Reborn that was in front of him, paying attention if something like this were to happened, was able to catch him before he hit the ground.

He pulled him up and then descended the stairs with him in his arms. He leaned Tsuna so he would carry his weight just like I did earlier, and went to set him down on the couch.

I walked towards them and kneeled in front of Tsuna to catch his attention seeing as his gaze was still glassy and unfocused.

"Tsuna." I said.

He finally looked at me.

"You alright now? Did the dizzy spell wore out?" I asked and he nodded.

"Ok. Then I want to introduce you to some close friends of mine." I said looking at G and the others.

To be continued…

Done. Hope you enjoyed it.

Please review.

Until next time,

Girl in Blue
