Chapter 2 tells of a new bond formed

"I'm back!" Giotto announced when he flung open the door and entered the small building while dragging a frightened and completely clueless Tsuna after him. The trio had managed to lose the whole crowd of pursuers while they were escaping. However they had to make a large detour in order to do so and this caused a delay in their schedule and plans. But in any case, they had finally reached their destination – a small inn where people with the same ideals as Giotto and G were currently residing in.

The minute the doors opened, the loud chatter coming from inside ceased for a minute before coming back at full force.

"Ciao!"

"Welcome home, Gio!"

"Was the plan a success? Were all the innocent commoners saved?"

"Of course! Since everyone did the planning with me, it was bound to be a success!" Giotto grinned at everyone present in the room as Tsuna hid behind his back, feeling more than a little dizzy from all the rapid change in environment. Until a moment ago, he was being dragged around in the quiet streets, and now, the loud voices and the heavy smell of beer and tobacco was making him feel increasingly uncomfortable.

Leaning against the doorframe, a pissed looking G lit up a cigarette and took a long drag from it. "As if. We almost died back there. And it was all because of your-"

"That's why I told you that there was no way that I could have left you all alone to face such a large number of enemies!"

"And what good would it be if you died?" G retorted, a sharp edge in his voice. "Besides, it was part of the plan for me to divert their attention while you escape!"

"Now now," Asari walked out from behind the counter, instantly taking on the role of being the peacemaker. "Both of you, stop arguing already. Don't you two realise that you guys are always having the same argument after every mission?"

G threw his cigarette on the floor and stepped on it roughly. "Don't you dare to poke your nose into this when you didn't even help out at all, you stupid music freak! All you did was sit there and serve tea to us when we were planning out the entire rescue operation. So you have no right to judge anything at all-!"

Asari sighed. "If you look at this rationally, G-"

"You are the one who aren't thinking logically!" G spat through gritted teeth. He was angry and frustrated, and that Japanese bastard wasn't helping him keep calm at all, if he wasn't making it become worse. "Do you know how serious the whole matter would become if Giotto died in that mission just now? Do you understand what it would mea-?"

"G-G-Giotto?" Tsuna's jaw dropped when he heard and recalled that the name was the Vongola Primo's, hence making the link easily with the familiar yet complicated and completely gorgeous tattoo on G's face. Yes, it was definitely something that Gokudera would love to have.

NO WAY! If Primo was here, does it mean that instead of being sent ten years into the future, he was sent into the past? And so far back as well! No wonder he fell from the sky!

However, the most shocking thing for Tsuna was not the fact that he was sent four centuries back into the past, but the fact that he was actually speaking to his great-great-great grandfather. Not that he never did so before, but this was his very first time speaking to a Giotto that was not in Hyper Dying Will Mode.

He turned to the blond teenager and pointed a trembling finger at him. "So, d-does that mean that y-you are the person that founded Vongola?"

Giotto raised an eyebrow in confusion as he repeated what Tsuna just said. "I... I am the person who founded... clams?"

"H-HUH?" Tsuna stammered as his face heated up from embarrassment. There was no doubt that everyone in the room was staring blankly at him.Could it be possible that the Vongola familgia wasn't created yet? Ugh! Just how long exactly, was he sent back in time? To what extent was the ten year bazooka malfunctioning?

Tsuna shook his head in denial, trying quickly to mitigate the misunderstanding before it could get any worse than it already was. However, being the dame-Tsuna that he was, there was no possible way that he would be able to think coherently when dealing with such stressful situations.

"N-No! It's just that I... I think that you look like a clam!"

The atmosphere in the room darkened rapidly as a depressed Giotto staggered to the nearest empty chair and sank into the seat, his head bent and looking very miserable. " A clam? Me? I... I look like... a clam...?"

Everyone in the inn instantly burst into peals of laughter, each of them having varied responses to Tsuna's sudden mindless blab.

"Haha! Giotto looking like a clam? Now, that's a new one!"

"I didn't expect the kid to say something like that at all! He's so interesting!"

"HIEEEEEE!" Tsuna freaked out and unintentionally let out one of his squeaks when he felt killer intent directed at him from a certain redhead in the same room. "I-I didn't mean it like that! I didn't mean it like that at all!"

o0o0o

Gokudera crouched on the ground, busy banging his fist against the tiles as he muttered out a long string of curses. "Juudaime... Where are you right now... Juudaime... Sorry for being unable to protect you at the most crucial moments... I'm a failure as your right hand man... I'm not worthy to be beside you... I'm not even fit to be called your friend..."

"Now, now," Yamamoto laughed. "Cheer up! We still have to get to school! There's only seven minutes before school officially starts."

"How can you still think about going to school when we don't even know where Juudaime's whereabouts are?" Gokudera thundered while he stormed over to Lambo who was still sobbing and shaking continuously from the shock of the events that just occured and picked the kid up by the neck. "Spit it out, you stupid cow! Where did you send Juudaime to?"

Yamamoto tried his best to stop Gokudera from strangling the poor child to death. "Well, Tsuna would come back soon. The effects of the bazooka only lasts five minutes right?"

"Well, it malfunctioned!" Gokudera snapped and pointed at the clock on the wall to emphasize his point. "It's way past five minutes already! And Juudaime didn't switch with his ten years later self! This means that he was most probably not sent to that time frame! As things are right now, we have no idea what happened to him! What if it becomes another situation like the one with Byakuran?"

Reborn jumped up onto Gokudera's shoulder and gave the boy a kick at the side of his head which shut him up effectively. "Keep silent, Gokudera. Even if we reason out the entire issue, we will still have no way of bringing Tsuna back if we don't find out exactly which time frame he was sent to."

The Arcobaleno glanced at Lambo who was currently getting a tough scolding from I-pin. "For now, let's show Giannini the bazooka that hit Tsuna and have him investigate it thoroughly. We'll discuss our plans after the results come out."

o0o0o

"Giotto," G called when he spotted his friend on his way up to the only spare room in the inn, where the new kid that just arrived was supposed to be staying in right now. "Are you sure that it is okay for us to let that kid remain here? We don't even know whether he's an ally or a foe yet! For all we know, he might even be a spy!"

Giotto sighed. "That's true, but Tsunayoshi-kun doesn't seem to be someone bad." He remembered how sincere the boy's eyes were when he was trying to explain himself, even though what he did was not considered to be a big deal at all. "You are just too paranoid, G."

"And what do you base his innocence on?" G challenged, upset that instead of him, Giotto trusted that brat that he met less than half a day ago more.

"My hyper intuition," the blond grinned, shooting his redheaded friend a thumbs-up before continuing with the remainder of the short walk towards Tsuna's room. "Now then, it's getting late, so I guess I should go check up on him already."

o0o0o

Tsuna fidgeted nervously as he sat on the edge of the bed. Although the room he was assigned to was smaller, dustier and looked less lived-in than the other rooms he had seen in the inn, Tsuna didn't especially mind. In fact, he was glad that he even had a place to stay at. God knows what might have happened if the person he met when he first reached this timeframe was not Giotto but some other evil child abuctor.

Well, he probably would have returned back to his rightful time frame sooner or later, but the question was when. As far as he was concerned, five minutes had long since passed. Besides, since the ten year bazooka malfunctioned, there was no way for Tsuna to correctly predict when he would finally be able to return home.

Two sharp raps came from the other side of the door and Tsuna opened it to see Giotto's kind smiling face. "Is everything okay in there? Sorry that we don't have a better room than this. It's the only spare room left."

"Don't say that. I should be the one apologising. Sorry for the trouble that you had to take to prepare this room for me at such short notice," Tsuna apologised sincerely.

Giotto ruffled the brunet's hair gently. "It's okay. Since you are my brother."

"B-B-BROTHER?" Tsuna exclaimed. What did Giotto-san mean by brother? Did he look like the Primo's long lost sibling in any way?

Taking a step back due to the sudden shock he received, Tsuna tripped over his own feet and started to fall backwards.

Reacting immediately to the situation, Giotto tried to help the falling brunet regain his balance but he tugged a little too hard and Tsuna ended up falling forward instead – right into Giotto's arms.

After one long minute of feeling his heart pounding in his chest at an abnormally quick pace, Tsuna immediately pulled away and watched as the blond slowly regained his composure.

Giotto looked away, his face appearing to be slightly red as he quickly said something in attempt to reduce the awkwardness in the atmosphere. "T-That's because Asari thinks that you look a little like me, so I just... Anyway, it's just a thought! I'm sorry if you don't like the idea!"

Feeling the blood rush up to his face and making him turn even redder than before, Tsuna quickly stared down at the floor and did not dare to look up.So now, apart from being his ancestor, Giotto-san was also his brother. Great, just great.

"I-I don't exactly hate the idea... G-Gio-nii..."
