"Kufufu~, seems as our little Decimo is in trouble. Shall we go help him?" A voice laughed eerily in the shadows.

It had been a mere 10 hours for word to spread to about the Vongola First's son was having an attack of some sort. A certain someone was included in the people who heard.

"Yes, Brother!" Another more feminine voice said softly and obediently. The two set off to find the next Vongola boss.

Tsuna was only slightly feverish by the time he woke up again, his headache completely gone. He blinked awake and rolled over slightly. He wasn't able to move that much by a pair of arms wrapped around him holding him against a chest.

He looked upwards to see who was next to him and blushed slightly realizing what must have happened. He dragged his father into his bed a lot when he was younger because he was afraid of the dark. He was used to this happening by now though, they would fall asleep together all the time, Nana would walk in on them and smile. (I swear I will hit anyone if they suggest that I add them having sex)

It gradually stopped over time as Tsuna got older and it only happened a couple times here and there because he had gotten a nightmare.

So he gently laid his forehead against the blond's chest in hopes of getting more sleep. He got like 15 minutes before he was jerked awake again.

How he awoken was by his father pushing him off he bed and him backing against the wall. A bullet hole smoked into the mattress where the two had been sleeping seconds before. This jarred Tsuna awake and he stayed low to the ground while escaping through the door.

Giotto stayed behind and peeked through the windows to see if anyone was out there. Dropping back down out of sight and concentrating, he detected a hint of Mist flames retreating through the streets of the town. It would be hopeless to try and find the attacker by now as they were too far away to chase after.

Sighing through his nose in annoyance, Giotto walked down the stairs and into the living room where Tsuna was sitting on the couch swinging his feet.

"Tsuna, how are you feeling?" Giotto asked worriedly as he sat next to his son.

"I'm better. Sorry about dragging you back to Japan." Tsuna smiled apologetically up at Giotto.

The blond sighed and flicked Tsuna's temple. "Don't be an idiot. I would always come if it's my son." Giotto gave a found smile that matched Tsuna's happy one.

"Dad, why does this happen to me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why do I have these attacks? Why do I black out when I panic too much? I don't understand it!" Tsuna hugged his knees to his chest and set his chin on top.

Giotto sighed and rubbed his eyes. He was hoping that he would never have to have this talk. "Do you know exactly what happened to you when you were five?"

"We were still living in Italy. It was later we moved when I got hurt, wasn't it?"

"Yes, we were in Italy when an assassin came to kill you. I am the boss to a strong and wide-spread company, no, I'm a mafia boss. A boss to the biggest family there is, Vongola. The name is the same to the company you know but it's a mafia family. I lied about it so you wouldn't be able to sell out who your father was and it worked because you were taken because of how much you look like me.

"When you were five, you were running around outside. Your friend, Enma, was with you. You two were quite the pair from how clumsy you both were. It was funny at times. But anyways, you two were playing and a shot rang out. You fell and I remember watching from my office and being so mad.

"When I got there Aluade had already dealt with the assassin and he was in a heap by a tree. You were bleeding on the ground and Enma was beside you crying. He really liked you. Nana was out but she came back and demanded we move to Japan. I've never seen her that mad before. So I agreed and you lived the rest of your life here."

"W-Who was the assassin?" Tsuna asked timidly as he turned to face his stone faced dad.

"...He was from the Calcassa family. A low ranking family that was trying to hard to make it big. Killing the next heir was the next best thing. It was stupid, but it would be effective in halting Vongola's reign. At least for a while."

"So I'm the next heir?"

"Yes. You're my son so if I were to suddenly pass away, you would be brought in and taught how to run Vongola. I never wanted you to become the next boss though. You're too innocent."

Hearing his father say that, the little anger he had felt for being treated as nothing more then an heir subsided. His father was torn over agreeing him to be the next boss or fining somebody else.

Looking over, he watched as his father closed his eyes and hunched over with his elbows on his knees supporting his head. Tsuna moved so that he was beside his dad and hugged him. He just knew that this was the right thing to do as his dad needed comfort.

He felt his dad freeze at the sudden hug. "Tsuna, are you okay?" The two have never been like this before.

"The question is; are you okay? Since mom died, you have been a little distant. And when you think I'm not looking you look really sad and linger on a picture of you and her."

His father returned the hug and clung to his son. Tears fell from Giotto's eyes before he knew it, and once they started they wouldn't stop. He was trying so hard not to show his remorse over Nana's death. She had died from a fire. It was ruled an accident but Giotto knew better. They were trying to get his family while he was away over in Italy.

It killed Giotto and he was extremely hesitant to leave Tsuna on his own thanks to it. But he still had work to do and he couldn't let his son get in the way of that. So he left guards with Tsuna, hidden of course, that saved him from harm. They weren't that good at their job though since whenever he comes back Tsuna has a lot more bruises then before.

"No, I'm not okay. Your mother was killed thanks to my connections. I must have made a deal with the wrong people. They burned down the house we lived in before this because of it." Giotto got himself under control. He sniffed a little before wiping his eyes and resting his forehead on his son's shoulder, dry heaves pulling at him here and there.

"They said it was an accident though. That it was the wiring in the house shorted out." Tsuna said as he sat back on his legs.

"Well, the reports were tampered with because I can't just say a mafia family attacked my family. The mafia isn't on the best of terms with the law." Giotto gave a humourless chuckle and pulled away from Tsuna also.

Knuckles burst into the house soon after the two sat quietly. He had gone to get some first aid supplies just in case something happened. "Giotto! You have to take Tsunayoshi and run!" He yelled as he hurriedly closed and locked the door behind him.

"Why, what happened?" Giotto said as he stood up. He had a feeling he knew what was going to happen.

"There are police closing in on the house. When I asked one what was happening they said there was a tip about a recent serial killer was living in your house. I came as fast as I could. They're around the block now." Knuckles started running trough the house and locking the windows.

"Alright, come on Tsuna. We've practised for this before, haven't we?"A nod was all he got before Tsuna lightly bounded up the stairs to his room for the act.

The reason why he knew what to do was because this had happened in Italy to one of Giotto's friend. It was never proven but it was still a mess to clean up after. So Giotto made precautions against it with Tsuna acting innocent in an empty house. Only a few people knew Giotto was back so they couldn't blame them without evidence.

Tsuna ran into his room and sat down at his table, pretending to do his already finished homework. It was perfect as he was the picture of innocence there. Nobody would suspect him for a minute.

He fixed some answers that were wrong and he heard a crash downstairs. He had headphones on so he had an excuse to not hear anything that went on. He always did his work with music so it was also something that was normal.

He heard people coming up the stairs and knocking on some of the doors before busting them down. The family could press charges for damage to property if the two got off from the doors being locked.

A knock, then a crash as the door was kicked down was what followed next into Tsuna's room. He looked up in surprise and had a perfect act going, until somebody screamed.

What they were seeing, thanks to Mist flames and illusions, was Tsuna covered in blood, knife in hand and smiling wickedly, among a pile of bodies. Some were rotting some were fresh and still twitching. Someone screamed and Tsuna was tackled to the ground and handcuffed.

Tsuna was now charged with murder.
