One Step at a Time

Chapter 5: Weak Herbivores

Monday-6:00 am-(2 weeks later)

Tsuna was sitting on the couch as he waited for his mommy to finish making them breakfast. Giotto was running around trying to find his missing earring before his mom did. Nana had said that she didn't want either one of them to ever in their lives get their ears pierced. Tsuna and Giotto had both been told that if she ever saw either one of them with a earring she would rip it out of their ear and ground them for the rest of their lives. Tsuna had understood, he didn't want to get a earring anyway since it would hurt. Giotto had said that he didn't want one either, and Nana had smiled and nodded after they said that. Still, Giotto seemed to have forgotten since he was looking for his earring right now.

"Tsuna, have you seen my earring?" Giotto whispered into Tsuna's ear as he fidgeted on the couch and kept looking around.

"…Nope, last time I saw it was yesterday morning," Tsuna said as he looked over at Giotto worriedly "What if mommy finds it?"

"I know!" Giotto exclaimed as he buried his face into his hands.

"It'll be ok." Tsuna said as he nodded and slowly got off the couch.

"But she might find it." Giotto sighed as he looked down at Tsuna.

"She won't, don't worry." Tsuna said as he gently grabbed Giotto's hand "Now let's go eat breakfast!"

"How do you know?" Giotto asked as Tsuna just turned and smiled at him.

"It's not in the house." Tsuna muttered before he walked into the kitchen and sat down at then table.

"What?" Giotto whispered as he stared confused at Tsuna, before he joined him at the table.

6:30 am~

"In more recent news, there have been several reports of kids being approached by a strange man. He was said to have kidnapped a few. Most kids seemed to have escaped the kidnapper before he could cause any harm to them, though. But, there was said that one kid has yet to be found. Here is the picture of the 5 year old." The news reporter said as a picture quickly flash onto the screen.

"No…." Tsuna whispered as he stared in horror at the picture of the little kid.

"Tsuna?" Giotto asked before he slowly looked up at the T.V screen "No.."

"His name is Gokudera Hayato, He is pale and has sliver hair and green eyes. If you have any information about his whereabouts please contact the police immediately. His family is giving out a reward of 50,000 dollars to anyone who can find him. May god be with him."

"Isn't that G-kun's little brother?" Nana asked as tears sprang to her eyes.

Giotto just nodded as he stood in front of the door. Silence enveloped the room as Nana held back tears, Giotto gapped at the T.V. and Tsuna sat frozen in the middle of tying his shoes.

"Tsuna?" Giotto called out softly after he calmed down a little.

"Why?" Tsuna whispered as tears fell down his cheeks slowly.

"It's ok" Giotto whispered as he hugged Tsuna tightly.

"I don't understand" Tsuna whispered before he broke out into sobs.

"It's ok" Giotto whispered again as his grip on Tsuna tightened.

Even though Giotto said that to him he knew it was not ok. It wouldn't be ok until Gokudera was found. Even after that he didn't know if it would be ok.

"Be careful, and Giotto take care of Tsuna" Nana said as they walked outside.

"Ok, bye" Giotto called back before he grabbed Tsuna's hand and began the walk to their school.

Tsuna just walked quietly next to his brother. He wasn't in the mood to talk. He wasn't really in the mood to do anything. It just didn't make sense. Why would someone kidnap Gokudera? No, How could someone kidnap Gokudera? Ever since that day that Tsuna had talked to Gokudera about ignoring Yamamoto, he began to notice things that Gokudera did.

Gokudera was quiet all the time at school, all he did was stare at Tsuna the whole day. Gokudera even began to follow him during school. Tsuna had wondered what was going on and wanted to ask Gokudera what he was doing but when ever he turned around to ask the boy, he was gone. Tsuna had even witnessed Gokudera beat up a grown man who looked at Tsuna the wrong way.

So how did someone kidnap him? Wait. Gokudera was always following him around so, it was all his fault! Someone must have kidnapped him when he was following Tsuna, because he wasn't paying attention!

At this realization, Tsuna busted into tears.

"It's all my fault!"

"What?" Giotto asked as he stared at Tsuna surprised.

"Hayato's going to die because of me!" Tsuna cried as tears fell down his cheeks none stop.

"Tsuna, calm down" Giotto exclaimed as people began to look at them.

"What's going on?" A lady asked as he held her puppy dog to her chest.

"I don't know but that little boy is crying a lot" A man said as he glared as Giotto.

"It's my fault!" Tsuna cried out loudly.

"Tsuna!" Giotto exclaimed as people started whispering.

"Come on honey we have to get you to school" A lady said as she tried to pull her son along.

"But mommy, those boys are pretty" The boy exclaimed as his mother picked him up.

"I don't care, don't look at them!" She exclaimed as she stormed off.

"What are you doing to that kid?" A lady asked as Giotto shook Tsuna.

"Um…

"I deserve to die!"

"Someone call 911!"

"Tsuna!"

"Never do that again"

"Sorry, Giotto-nii" Tsuna said softly as they reached the school.

"It's ok" Giotto said as he ruffled Tsuna's hair and they walked into the school building.

"Giotto!" Daemon Spade exclaimed as he ran up to said boy.

"What?" Giotto asked as he glared at Daemon Spade.

"I just wanted to give you this." Daemon Spade said as he pulled out a orange diamond earring from his pocket.

"This?" Giotto asked as he looked up at Daemon Spade who smiled.

"Asari told me you lost your other one at Alaude's house yesterday so I brought you a new one" Daemon Spade said as he gave Giotto the earring.

"It's beautiful" Giotto whispered as he stared at it in awe.

"I just looked for the earring that reminded me of you" Daemon Spade said happily.

"Daemon…" Giotto whispered as he looked up at the boy with a smile before hugging him.

"Giotto?" Daemon Spade asked as he softly wrapped his arms around said boy.

"Hum?" Giotto asked as he snuggled closer to Daemon Spade.

"I like you" Daemon Spade whispered into Giotto's ear softly.

"….Thank you." Giotto whispered before he pulled away from Daemon Spade.

"Giotto…" Daemon Spade said softly as he let go of the boy.

"Thank you" Giotto said again as he smiled at Daemon Spade before giving him a kiss on the cheek and running off down the hallway.

"Fuck" Alaude whispered before he stormed off to class.

"Yes!" Daemon Spade exclaimed happily as he walked off to class.

"Bye, kids." Asari said as he walked off to class with G, Lampo, and Knuckle following.

"That was weird" Tsuna muttered before he walked into his classroom with Yamamoto.

"Yeah" Yamamoto said as they took their seats.

"Not again" Ms. Sakura said as she ran to a corner and kids came into class.

"Takeshi, are you ok?" Tsuna asked as he noticed him staring off into space.

"Oh yeah, I'm ok" Yamamoto said as he smiled weakly at Tsuna.

Tsuna just stared at Yamamoto for a second before he frowned.

"You're worried about Gokudera aren't you?" Tsuna asked as Yamamoto stared at Gokudera's chair.

"…Yeah." Yamamoto said as he looked down at his hands.

"I am too" Tsuna whispered as tears pricked at his eyes and he stared down at his hands.

Silence quickly fell over the two boys as they thought about all the possible things that could be happening to their friend.

"Weak Herbivores" Hibari growled as he stood in front of the two boys.

"Hibari-san!" Tsuna exclaimed as he jumped.

"Hibari?" Yamamoto asked as he looked over at the boy confused.

Hibari rarely talked to anyone.

"The herbivore's your friend right?" Hibari asked as he glared at the two boys.

"Yes" They both answered quickly.

"Unless he is just worthless he should be fine." Hibari said

"But, what if the person's stronger than him?" Tsuna asked as Hibari glared at him harder.

"I think Hibari is trying to tell us to have faith in Hayato, Tsuna" Yamamoto said as a smile broke out onto his face.

"Oh, ok" Tsuna said as he smiled softly.

"He's right, Hayato's not going down without a fight." Yamamoto said happily with a laugh.

"Yeah." Tsuna said happily before turning to look at Hibari "Thank you"

"…." Hibari just stared at Tsuna before glaring at him hard.

"HIIIIE!" Tsuna exclaimed as Hibari stood right in front of him.

"You are not allowed to be weak" Hibari growled

"W-w-what?" Tsuna asked confused.

"I don't take weak things." Hibari hissed before he walked away from Tsuna.

"W-w-what did he mean? " Tsuna asked as he watched Hibari leave.

"Haha, Hibari sure is nice!" Yamamoto exclaimed happily.

"…Takeshi." Tsuna sighed

"So, you aren't crying anymore Sawada?" Mochida asked while he smirked at them.

"I wasn't crying" Tsuna muttered as he looked down at his hands.

"You sad that Gokudera's not going to be here anymore?" Mochida asked as he laughed.

"What are you talking about?" Tsuna asked as he looked up at Mochida.

"I'm happy he's gone. He was annoying." Mochida said nonchalantly.

"What did you say?" Yamamoto asked as he at Mochida with his smile barely in place.

"I wouldn't care if he was killed, raped, or just beat up. He deserved it anyway." Mochida said as Yamamoto stood up.

"Can you say that again?" Yamamoto asked as he stood up with a frown on his face.

"I said that I wouldn't care if he was ki-" Mochida didn't get to finish as he was tackled onto the ground.

"Takeshi!"

Giotto's class

Giotto frowned as he noticed G flipping his phone open and closed over and over again.

"Gokudera G, hand over the phone" Mr. Lution said as he held his hand out in front of G.

"No" G said as he closed his phone and looked up at the man.

"Hand it over!" Mr. Lution said angrily

"I have to have this incase Hayato calls" G said simply as he opened his phone again.

"The brat probably begged to be taken away." A boy named Kouji said as he and his friends laughed.

"What did you say?" G asked as he stood up.

"You stupid Italians, should have stayed in Italy because we don't want you in Japan." Kouji said as he glared.

"Italy, probably didn't want them either!" Kouji's friends said as they laughed.

"You don't know anything" G whispered as he balled his hands into fists.

"Maybe that's why their parents are always gone, they must have left them and went back to Italy." Kouji said as he smirked.

"Do you want to die Kouji?" G asked as he looked over at the boy.

"G, calm down" Asari said as he walked over to his friend with Giotto following.

"Yeah, listen to your girlfriend." Kouji said smugly.

"Say one more thing…"

"Bitch"

G pointed a shining sliver gun straight at Kouji's head. The whole classroom got quiet.

"Why so quiet?" G asked as he smiled at Kouji who looked scared to death.

"G, don't" Asari whispered as he grabbed G's hand.

"Not like he'll really do it.." Kouji whispered softly.

Then a gunshot rang though out the classroom.

Somewhere in Namimori~

"Don't worry, Hayato I'll take good care of you"

"Just let me go.."

"I can't until you tell me who the Tenth Vongola boss is"

"I don't know…"

"Hayato, if you'd just tell us we wouldn't have to do this"

"Please…not again"

"Bring out the wax and tie him back onto the table."

"Please! I really don't know! Not again!"

"It'll stop as soon as you give us the answers we want."

A loud scream rang through out the underground room.

Well there you have it! I know that some people are probably upset. But hey look on the good side, things are getting interesting! This right here is a look into what the other plotline will kind of be like later! Hayato will be found soon so don't freak out! The Mafia is going to have a bit to do with some things but 85% of the time it will just be about Tsuna and his friends being kids.

Can anybody guess what Hibari was talking about? ^-^
