Chapter 5

Raven: sorry for the late update

Giotto: Yeah very long you left it on a cliff hanger

Raven: well excuse me I'm sorry for being human

Giotto: Get on with it!

Tsuna felt the tension in the air; the adults and the kids that were behind them were worried. He looked up when he saw blood splatters on the ground and then noticed the bloody handprint on the bark of the tree. It was the one he had grabbed onto when he was running away from the clearing and almost immediately he started to struggle, kicking and twisting his body to make sure his silent plea was heard, making the man holding him stop in his tracks. He was gently placed on the ground but before the man could open his mouth he kick started into run, again ignoring the pain that flared up in his ankle. He heard a surprised shout come from behind him but he kept on running until he dashed into a now familiar clearing. He watched wide eyed as his daddy, who stood in the centre of the clearing, put five fully grown men into a Eternal Sleep without care of the pain he should be in.

"Daddy!" he yelled making Giotto stop and look up wide eyed at his son who was staring at him worriedly. Giotto turned on his heels quickly and punched a guy square in the jaw, effectively sending him flying towards the trees. He watched as the tree the man crashed into toppled over because of the force of the man slamming into it. Tsuna looked back at Giotto with awe but saw his daddy trying to fight his way towards him. But Giotto's his eyes went wide and he yelled out in panic to his son,

"Tsuna behind you!"

Tsuna turned slowly, taking a few steps back, to see the towering man behind him. He tripped, letting out a squeak as he bumped against the hard ground and stared, frightened, up at the huge grinning guy approaching him. The man reached out to grab him when handcuffs suddenly materialized around his left wrist. They burned a bright purple just before the cuffs multiplied in all shapes and sizes encasing the big meany making it seem like a colourful display of handcuffs. Tsuna just stared at the man as he fell over breathing heavily as the handcuffs started to shrink. They got tighter and tighter until he fell unconscious because of the lack of air and blood flow. Tsuna turned to face the forest; smiling in relief when those men that he was sent to find came running out, almost as if summoned, attacking the ones who hurt him and Giotto. He managed to force himself up, even as his legs started shaking, to run towards his daddy who immediately enveloped him in his arms, hugged him to his chest tightly when he was close enough a relieved look on his face. Tsuna pulled back slightly and stared at the blood on his daddy's body, but daddy just shook his head in the negative as if knowing what he was going to say.

"I'm fine, just glad you are okay," Giotto said with a wide smiled and then he turned serious as he looked around at the people fighting for him. The man wearing the weird robes came running over dodging anyone who tried to attack him expertly. He kneeled down next to Giotto placing his hand on the most serious wounds. Tsuna stare in awe when his hands started to glow a bright yellow colour and the wounds slowly started to knit back together. He whispered something to his daddy who only chuckled weakly in response and nodded his head in acceptance. The battle came to an end slowly but surely as the men approached them one by one as they completed their individual matches. As soon as the man with the red hair neared he started to yell at his daddy who only nodded his head with a big grin on his face making the man all the angrier. Then the man pointed to him and he shrunk back a bit at the angry look, but the scowl softened almost immediately at Tsuna's scared look.

"This is Tsuna, the one I told you about. Tsuna this is…well, your family from now on," Giotto said grinning at Tsuna who stared at him in shock then he turned to face the men who helped him suddenly feeling his shy nature take over. He bowed down whispering softly,

"My name is Tsunayoshi Saw…Vongola," he whispered a bit frightened of their reactions then he looked back up in surprise when no scoffs were made, instead they were all smiling.

"Well then kiddo, my names G," the man with the red hair and a weird tattoo on the side of his face said gruffly then he pointed the child next to him who scoffed in annoyance and looked away making Tsuna think he did something wrong, "and this is my son Hayato. Don't mind him he's always like this." Tsuna smiled as he nodded with a relieved look.

"My names Asari," the man which he met first said then pointed to his son who grinned, "And this is Takeshi, my son." Tsuna nodded and immediately bowed his head in greeting; thanking them for keeping those men away from him.

"Nufufufu I am Daemon and these are my lovely kids Chrome and Mukuro it is nice to meet you," he said making Tsuna grin at his weird laugh but funny. To him it seemed like they were a bit different than the others, but in a good way.

The introductions went on until it came to the man who carried him through the woods. Tsuna smiled and he nodded in greeting then smirked softly as he bend down pointing to the lion in his arms which he still clutched onto tightly.

"I see you like the lion, Hibari and I gave you," he said making Tsuna nod with a huge smile until realisation dawned on him and the looked turned into one of shock.

"Papa!" he yelled jumping to hug him forcing Alaudi to balance himself out as to not fall back at the force of the jump Tsuna put into his hug. Giotto smiled as he watched Tsuna say how he was scared and happy that his Papa was able to save Daddy. He also thanked him for Natsu. The other guardians and kids watched with horror waiting for Alaudi to scold Tsuna for touching him, but like he did with Hibari he just smirked and ruffled his hair. They all turned to Giotto who turned serious and pointed to the people that were still alive on the ground.

"Get them to the base and make sure they talk, Daemon, Alaudi," he ordered as they nodded. Alaudi placed Tsuna on the ground moving to help Giotto who grits his teeth in pain as he was helped up. He smiled at Alaudi who rolled his eyes in exasperation. Giotto then looked around the area as if he was searching for something when he didn't find it he turned to Alaudi who looked at him in confusion.

"Alaudi where's Kyoya?" Giotto asked a bit worried since the butler said that they had an unexpected mission. He then got a horrified look on his face as he stared at Alaudi's blank look, but before he could say anything he was cut off.

"He went on the mission and before you yell at me for letting him go off alone, it was just an escort mission so he could handle it alone," Alaudi said amused as he watched Giotto pout and look away from him. He shook his head as he turned to look at his new son who was walking with the other kids, he watched him laugh and talk happily until he caught a slight wince as he walked. Alaudi then came to abrupt stop making the others stop as well as he set Giotto down to lean against a tree. He then called Tsuna closer who instantly ran over with a confused look on his face.

"Sit down," he ordered watching as Tsuna almost immediately sat down a bit scared of his cold voice. Alaudi bend down and pulled up Tsuna's trousers hearing Tsuna whimper softly. He ignored the gasps of the others when they saw his ankle. It was badly swollen and bruised and his knee was bleeding slowly; he looked up at Tsuna who was looking down with a bit of pain and guilt shining in his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell Knuckle about this Tsuna he could have healed it along with Giotto's wounds," he said ignoring the slight flinch and the tears that he noticed were starting to gather in Tsuna's eyes. He sniffed and as he continued to look down.

"Uncle Knuckled looked tired and Tsuna didn't want to burden him with more work when he felt like that after healing daddy," he whispered tearfully making Giotto smile and Alaudi shake his head as he turned too looked at Knuckle who smiled in appreciation as he approached the child. He gently ruffled his hair as he placed a hand on the ankle the same yellow colour appearing on his hand and the pain slowly edged away.

"That was extremely thoughtful of you, but that was not so bad I would have healed this just fine. So if you're ever injured again don't let your father catch you come and tell me okay," he said as he pulled away making Tsuna nod tearfully. Giotto called Tsuna over who immediately cried in his arms when he was pulled into a hug. Alaudi picked them both up, shocking Tsuna with his insane strength, and continued to walk smirking when he noticed both father and son had soon fallen asleep in his arms.

Tsuna blinked his eyes open and looked around. He was in an unfamiliar room, alone. He started to get scared almost immediately, because of past experiences with his mama. He was always locked in the basement when that man came to visit because his mama said he was a nuisance. Tsuna was so deep in his memories of the past and the abuse his Mama put him through that he never noticed the tears trailing down his cheeks or when the door of the room opened.

"Tsu…" a voice began one he didn't hear because of his occupied mind, but when he felt a hand being placed on his shoulder he let out a loud, terrified scream. He jumped away falling off the bed and onto the floor in an undignified heap, hitting his head on the ground with the whiplash effect. He sat up ready to sprint away from the person his mom had sent down to hurt him, when instead he ran into a person that was lean in the muscular department. The person grabbed him holding him tightly. He struggled. He trashed his body and kicked out his legs; trying to get out of the strangers hold when he felt the other presence behind him making him let out another scream as tears continued to fall unbidden.

"Tsuna! Tsuna it's me! Its Daddy calm down!"

Tsuna's struggles slowly started to stop when he heard the man speak in a soft and comforting voice. He looked up and saw the person holding him was his Papa and the one in front of him was his Daddy. He moved closer to Alaudi as he cried out apologies about the fact that he didn't mean to hit his Papa.

Alaudi and Giotto looked at each other as the child cried. Giotto stepped closer, worry clear in his eyes as he rubbed the child's back to calm him down. He looked up when he saw the door slam open and his guardians standing there tensed. They calmed down when they saw no danger, only them on the floor trying to calm down the frantic child.

"We heard a scream was it Tsuna?" G asked gruffly as he watched the child. Giotto only nodded as he turned back to Tsuna who was finally calm enough to talk. They heard a few sniffles come from him, but he turned to Giotto looking down.

"Sorry Daddy Tsuna didn't mean to hit you or Papa," he whispered making Giotto smile softly at him. He then moved and gave him a small kiss on the forehead making Tsuna smile weakly, he giggled though when his hair was ruffled by Alaudi as he was placed on the bed.

"What made you scream so loudly, if I may ask Tsuna," Asari asked softly making Tsuna look at him frightened. He turned his head to look at the people in the room then he thought about the fact that they were now his family so they wouldn't hurt him like his mama did. He looked up when Giotto sat down next to him placing his arm over his shoulders. He smiled tearfully, these people were definitely not like his mama and they were kind and would never hurt him like others had. He could trust them just like he trusted Giotto.

"Tsuna…Mama had always made Tsuna sit in the basement all alone when Tsuna's dad came to visit so Tsuna wouldn't be a nuisance, and sometimes she would forget to let me out. It was scary in the dark. I always thought there was something down there with Tsuna, but I thought mama wouldn't do it on purpose," he said crying softly. Giotto immediately pulled the child into a hug as he continued to talk "after a while mama started to hurt Tsuna or leave Tsuna alone at the park or in the mall as if she was trying to get rid of me but I always found my way back. Then she started to yell calling Tsuna names and then slapped Tsuna hard, after that it became worse she sent men to hurt Tsuna and finally she kicked me out. The day Tsuna met Daddy was when Tsuna was being chased by men she sent they said they were send to finish the job. Tsuna didn't know what they meant until they pulled out knives… if Tsuna hadn't met daddy that day mama would have been right Tsuna would just be a dead child on the streets."

Alaudi immediately got up heading for the door, but stopped when he heard Tsuna whimper softly as he if he thought he was disgusted by Tsuna. He sighed and headed back to the bed nodding at Daemon in a silent conversation.

"Tsuna, here you are me and Giotto's son and that will never happen we promise you, now would you like to meet you brother Kyoya."

The smile on Tsuna's face made everyone sigh in relief that this innocent child wasn't broken by what his mother had done whoever she was.

Raven: well I hope this was good since I'm still trying to figure out where this is going.

G: Figure out quickly

Raven: Screw you, Please R&R
