Raven: my lil sis helped me out a lot so most of the credit of the grammer and shit goes to her. her name is Lara'tjie please read her fics their awesome.

Giotto: enjoy the story!

"Papa!"

Giotto twitched, instinctively knowing whoever was with him in the hotel room wasn't trouble so he tried to go back to sleep. He had a nagging feeling that he was forgetting something important that he was supposed to do but with his brain so foggy with sleep he just couldn't think of what was so important.

"Papa, wake up!"

Giotto blinked his eyes open; when faint, soft beeping sounds as well as another yell from Tsuna made itself known. Tsuna.

He saw the boy peeking up at him from the edge of the bed. He immediately bolted up in a sitting position. He stared at the child for a few seconds before he pulled Tsuna up onto the bed.

Tsuna pointed to the alarm that was still beeping loudly.

"Papa that thing woke Tsuna up. It's making a lot of noise."

Giotto looked at the alarm a bit tiredly then he snapped fully awake when he remembered why he actually set the alarm for. He jumped up but in the process got entangled in the blankets and fell face first from the bed. Giotto let out a yelp and then a groan of pain from where he laid. He untangled himself while running to the closet and from there he went to the bathroom to quickly get dressed as Tsuna just watched him in curiosity from where he was still sitting on the high bed.

"Papa, what's wrong?"

"Sorry Tsuna. I have a meeting with someone in an hour and I didn't hear the alarm so I'm a bit late," he said as he quickly grabbed his bag then looking over at Tsuna, or more accurately: at his attire.

"I can't leave you alone so you will have to come along. We can stop at a clothing store to buy you some clothes then you can get dressed in the bathrooms."

He quickly dressed Tsuna up into his old clothes before exiting the room and then the building altogether.

They stopped at a close by clothing store and Giotto told Tsuna to pick some shirts and pants as he went to get the other things. They quickly paid and Giotto led him to a bathroom where he chose to wear a black shirt with small orange flames coming from the side along with brown baggy pants and white sneakers. Giotto smiled at him as he pulled at the clothes to sit correctly on him and then he dumped the old clothes in the trash.

"Tsuna," he said seriously making Tsuna look at him curiously ", listen to me closely. These people Daddy will be meeting with are dangerous so stay close and don't wander off."

Giotto hoped that they won't do anything to Tsuna, but he couldn't have left him at the hotel because they may have his accommodation records and could kidnap him from there which would be an ever worse situation.

"Tsuna won't wander Papa. Tsuna promises," he said with a smile, but his eyes had a slightly fearful look in them.

"Don't worry, Daddy won't let anything happen to you."

Any fear in the child's eyes instantly disappeared and he nodded making Tsuna smile at him, but his intuition was telling him this meeting was going to be very difficult.

Giotto pulled to a stop in front of a warehouse near the coast of Nanimori. He looked at the building with dread as his intuition screamed at him to leave, but he needed to meet with this family whether he wanted to or not. He turned to Tsuna who was staring at the water with sparkling eyes; then he turned to him and pointed to the water.

"Papa, can Tsuna got play at the beach please?" he asked with puppy eyes making Giotto hesitant at saying no. He turned to the warehouse and then to the water. The water would be a better place since Tsuna won't be near them and can't be used as a hostage. He then nodded with a small smile.

"Okay Tsuna. But remember not to go too far off and if anyone comes towards you or tries to hurt you run to this warehouse," he said pointing to the warehouse. Tsuna nodded and quickly climbed out after he hugged Giotto before running off to the beach.

Giotto walked to the warehouse, his aura turning and changing until it was of what he is: a mafia boss. He spotted two men who nodded at him before escorting him inside. He entered a huge area filled with containers, some rusted and some brand new. He didn't care of what they meant he only wanted to get this over and done with so he continued following the men. In the middle of the warehouse was a built in building with dark walls and small windows only here and there that has drawn blinds. One of the men nodded towards a door that was open. He entered seeing a table set out with a man sitting at the one end drinking tea along with two men wearing black suits at his side. Giotto nodded at him and took a seat at the other side where another chair was unattended.

"Ahh, Vongola Primo finally shows," the man muttered then he smiled crookedly at Giotto over the table.

"I thank you for coming to see me in Japan. It must have been a long trip all the way from Italy."

"I apologise for my tardiness. And yes, the flight was long but it was a meeting that needed to happen," Giotto answered back calmly, already sensing the tension around them.

"Yes of course. Let us get straight to the point then. You see, I have a business in Italy as well as here in Japan that has been going on for ages and then suddenly the mafia starts interfering by taking my people down and thus destroying my growing industry. And that mafia is Vongola...only Vongola since other Mafioso get great profit from me," he said while smiling tightly, but Giotto could sense the anger. He looked at him calmly and answered,

"Yes, I have heard of your business. The reason why I work to take it down is because your products are pilfered and harm innocent people when used by the other Mafioso," Giotto laid back in his seat a bit to look more at ease before continuing evenly, "and also because your business is causing us trouble as they are used against us."

The dealer stood up speedily and slammed his hands onto the table resulting in the cup of tea to rattle. He glared at Giotto, not even bothering to hide his blatant anger at him; he looked at his two guards then at him again with a smirk. Giotto's inner warning bells went haywire and he looked at the two guards' cautiously with narrowing eyes.

"I don't want violence. I came here for a meeting that you requested. Don't turn this into a blood bath," he said dangerously as the man's smirk widened and just as he was about to retort back the door slammed open and in ran Tsuna with tears in his eyes making Giotto panic slightly.

"Papa!" Tsuna yelled, running straight his father's arms, which had gotten up to see what was wrong.

"There were men outside that tried to take Tsuna. They said Tsuna would be a great part of a slaven market...or something like that!"

Giotto was about to calm Tsuna down when he heard a laugh from behind him and his head snapped in the man's direction. The guards were holding hand guns that were aimed at him and Tsuna. The dealer was smirking in false victory.

"Who would have thought you would bring your own son here?" he laughed loudly. Then he nodded to his guards in pure malicious delight,

"Kill them!"

Giotto immediately pulled Tsuna into his arms and quickly jumped into the air. He hissed slightly when a bullet dug into his shoulder and another one grazing his leg. He turned mid-air and went straight into Hyper Dying Will Mode. He placed Tsuna behind one of the containers once they were safely out of sight. He wanted Tsuna away from the shooting at all costs.

"Tsuna stay quiet for Daddy," he whispered before placing a kiss on the crying child's forehead then he disappeared to go and take down the family that made little Tsuna cry. He had made sure that they were far from Tsuna and as he went through the masses of guards that thought they could take him down he made sure that there wasn't too much blood. He didn't wasn't to scare the child. He took out the last two guards and picked up a fallen gun. He walked over to the shivering boss and when he was close enough her aimed it at the pathetic man. He shot him in the leg making the man scream in pain, not use to such pain.

"That was for scaring my son," Giotto said menacingly, "and this is for all the innocents you killed."

He pulled the trigger and watched as his head rocketed backwards when the bullet went straight through his skull. Giotto stared for a few seconds more to watch the colour drain from the pathetic man's eyes. He turned around and quickly made his way to where he left Tsuna.

Tsuna backed up in fear when he heard footstep, but smiled when he heard his Papa calling his name. He ran out and straight into his new Daddy's arms sobbing softly only to pull back when he felt wetness on his shoulder. He lifted his hand seeing a red liquid covering it. It was blood. His new Daddy was hurt. He looked at him worried and the worry only grew at the pained look Giotto sported.

"Daddy! We need to get Daddy to a nurse or…or a hospital!" Tsuna yelled in panic as he was placed back on the ground. He started to pull him by the arm that was not wounded so they could get to the car. Giotto smiled, even if he was in pain, at the worry his son showed him. He got into the car hearing his phone buzzing loudly, he was about to pick it up when the back window was shattered and men yelled loudly. He swore and quickly started the car, unknown to the fact that Tsuna answered the phone

"Hello" Tsuna answered hesitantly

"Giotto where are you…wait that wasn't Giotto who is this?" a voice said

"Tsuna's name is Tsuna and mister?" he asked yelping when his head was pushed down and as a bullet shattered his window

"My name is G, is Giotto there?" G asked a bit worried about the sound of the glass that shattered in the background

Tsuna turned to his Papa who was driving the car with a pained and concentrated look on his face making Tsuna not want to bother him. He looked back seeing the people chasing them, holding guns

"Tsuna can't give the phone to papa now he's trying to get away from the bad people shooting at us" Tsuna said making G yell out worriedly from the other side off the phone

"What! What do you mean shooting" the man asked, he was about to answer, when he heard his papa yell at him to get down and to stay down. He turned to him seeing the panicked look on his face

"Papa what's happening" he said not noticing he said it loudly enough to be heard on the other side off the phone by G who was listening to the conversation.

"Tsuna, nothing's wrong just stay down for me okay" he said making sure to keep his eyes on the people behind him. They had managed to shoot his arm when he had moved himself to the side to miss the bullet aimed at his head. That in turn caused him to be hit in the shoulder, again. What was it with these people and his shoulder, was it like a target or something. He may be a boss used to pain, but damn does it hurt. It was worse than when he was attacked by his lover just for going out for a few hours without letting him know. He also was trying to keep the fact secret that they had no breaks. These bastards must have cut his breaks while he was in the meeting. He wondered how they knew which car was his.

"Kid is Giotto hurt somewhere, can you tell me where you are?" the man asked catching Tsuna's attention again

"We're in Namimori Japan" he answered looking up at his papa then answering the next question "Tsuna sees blood on papa's shoulder and leg"

"What the hell is he doing in Japan?" he asked to himself "Kid ca…"

Tsuna wasn't able to hear the rest because Giotto grabbed him pulling him close as they jumped out of the car. He covered them both with his cloak so they wouldn't be full of scratches after this. Tsuna let out a loud scream as they rolled on the ground. He was scared. He didn't know what was going on. He could only watch as the other car tried to stop but instead also went over the edge flying through the air then plunging into the ocean. Tsuna turned to his Papa, as he pulled the cloak off of them, seeing that he was lying unmoving behind him

"Papa, wake up!" he said as he gently shook his papa who didn't move an inch. Tears were starting to gather threatening to fall, but he looked up scared when he heard yelling. He looked around only to see the yelling coming from the phone lying next to him.

"Hey, Giotto, kid you there answer!" it was that man he was talking to before they jumped out of the car, mister G, if he remembered immediately grabbed the phone talking or trying to talk since he was crying so much.

"…Papa… Papa isn't moving, what…what should Tsuna do?" he sobbed hearing the man say something he couldn't understand, then the voice changed so he guessed the phone was given to someone else. The person spoke to him softly making him calm down, only a little though.

"Go closer and see if he is breathing, just touch his chest gently, if you feel it moving he is alive" Tsuna did as told, feeling it moving he let out a relieved sob. He put the phone down and shook him again this time a bit more urgently. He smiled brightly when he heard a groan come from his Papa and his eyes blinked open.

"Tsuna" Giotto muttered when he saw Tsuna hovering over him with a bright smile and teary eyes. He sat up holding his head. He must have bumped it when he jumped out of the car, causing him to black out momentarily. He immediately turned his eyes to Tsuna checking him for injuries, seeing none he smiled in relief. He watched as Tsuna picked up…his phone and spoke with a smile

"Papa is awake, thank you mister G" Tsuna was quiet until he spoke again "Thank you mister Knuckle then"

Giotto sat frozen when he heard those names. When did Tsuna pick up the phone and how long had he spoken to knuckle and G? How did he not notice? His own son had dug his grave unknowingly. He tried to keep the horror off his face when Tsuna looked at him, but all he did was look in fear.

"Tsuna…" he said only to pass out. Damn it he forgot about his wounds

"Papa!"

Raven: and there ya go, the guardians came into the picture
