Chapter 2
When Tsuna tells his brother to wait him outside to prepare himself, Giotto nods and accept his requests. While waiting outside for his little brother to finish his preparation, a serious look surfaces on his face and he thinks deeply.
'Just seconds ago, my hyper intuition tells me something that our life style will change,' He thinks while frowning.
'I have to take cautions and protect my new family,' He thinks as he leans on the wall beside the door, with determination evident in his clear blue eyes. He looks up at the ceiling softly, worry mixing in his eyes.
'I wonder…If I will tell my little brother about my biggest darkest secret that I… belong to the past,' He thinks and sighs. The door suddenly opens and Giotto looks and sees his little brother. He knows that he was taking a bath to prepare himself.
"I'm sorry that you waited long, nii-san." apologizes Tsuna and Giotto smiles.
"No worries, little brother," says Giotto and smiles softly. He comes forward and ruffles Tsuna's spiky hair.
"Nii-san! Stop that! I'm no longer a child!" says Tsuna, embarrassed. Giotto chuckles. He knows that he's been doing this for a long time, when Tsuna is super depressed, but he's stopped doing it because he knows Tsu-kun is happy now.
"Gomen, Tsu-kun. To me, you're still my beloved little brother," says Giotto, smiling. Tsuna blushes at his words, "And a kid too." He adds and grins, Tsuna pouts at that. Giotto chuckles at his actions.
"L-let's go and eat. Kaa-san is already waiting for us." Tsuna says with a blush. He goes down stairs first because he wants to get away fast.
"Tsu-kun! Watch out for-" he shouts in mid-sentence, because it is too late.
"HIIEEE!" *Thump* "Itte!"
'Tsu-kun trips again.' He thinks and sighs. Really, he sometimes wonders where he got that trait. He shakes his head and sighs again.
"Tsu-kun! Are you alright?" asks Giotto while going down stairs to check if he was okay. When Giotto finally looks down at the ground, he sees that Tsuna is sitting on the ground, and he is rubbing his forehead as if the pain he feels right now will fly away.
"Itte itte itte!" says Tsuna in pain while rubbing his forehead. Giotto chuckles. He reaches his hands to help him up. Tsuna looks up at him, smiles, and acceps shis offer.
Inside the kitchen…
The Sawada household eats happily. Nana, Tsuna's and Giotto's mother, glances at her children, and then she looks at her oldest child.
"Ne, Gio-chan. Can you go outside and buy me some groceries?" asks Nana. Giotto looks at her.
"Sure, Kaa-san" says Giotto and smiles at her.
"Umm…"
The two look at Tsuna, giving him some attention.
"Can I also go with nii-san?" asks Tsuna to his mother for permission. Nana smiles at him.
"Of course, Tsu-kun! Finish all the dishes first, and then you can go outside and buy some groceries." Says Nana, cheerfully. The two nod as agreement.
When they finish eating, they go outside together and start walk. While walking on the street, some people steal glances at Giotto, and others gossip about him.
"Hey! Is that Giotto?"
"Kyaa! He's so handsome!"
"Darn! If I was born a little later, I could've been his girlfriend."
Giotto and Tsuna heard all what they were saying, they both sweat drop.
"Ne, Nii-san. You're popular." says Tsuna in obviousness.
"I know." agrees Giotto and sighs.
Minutes later, they reach the grocery store and have bought what they needed. The two of them walk together silently.
"Ne, nii-san. I was thinking" says Tsuna out of the blue, not looking at his brother in the eye. Giotto looks at him and asks, "What is it, Tsu-kun?"
"I was thinking…. Eto…. Are you keeping a secret that you haven't told me about?" asks Tsuna, and looks at him in the eye.
"Why do you think that in the first place, Tsu-kun?" asks Giotto. Tsuna scratches his cheek.
"Eto… How should I tell you this? I have a feeling that you have been hiding that in a long time." Answers Tsuna, "Ah! But if it is a secret that you can't tell, please don't force yourself." adds Tsuna, timidly. Giotto frowns. Tsuna sees him frown and looks down at the ground as if it's the most interesting thing in the world.
'Hyper Intuition, huh," Giotto thinks and smiles. You can't believe this but Tsuna really is his great-great-great grandson. Giotto looks up above at the sky and smiles. Tsuna steals glances at him and sees his brother has many different expressions. Tsuna looks at his brother intently, eagerly waiting for his answers.
'The sun is already setting. I better tell him the truth, even if he will believes me or not' he thinks. Giotto looks at his little brother. They look each other eye to eye. He smiles gently.
"Tsu-kun, do you believe in reincarnation?" asks Giotto. Tsuna looks at him in surprise at the sudden question.
"I-I d-don't k-know" stammers Tsuna, timidly. He looks down at the ground.
'I guess he never believes me' he thinks and sighs in disappointment. He smiles sadly, and his eyes look sad too, like it was hopeless.
"But-"
Giotto looks at his little brother like he has given hope to believe him; surprised at what he will say next. Tsuna looks at his brother gently.
"I will believe you e-even you asks ridiculous questions" adds Tsuna and smiles at him. Giotto is surprised at what his little brother says to him. He stops walking and Tsuna does too. Tsuna doesn't see what reaction his brother has because his eyes were shadowed by his bangs, only the shadow he sees.
Suddenly, Giotto hugs Tsuna abruptly. Tsuna is surprised by his action but he hugs him back.
"I thought you would not believe me," whispers Giotto ihto Tsuna's ears. Giotto is so proud of him.
"Of course I believe you, Nii-san. We experienced a lot when we were younger. I don't care when you're old, Nii-san will always be Nii-san, and nothing will change that. I decided that when I was 6 years old. Even now, I will always believe you deep inside my heart besides, we are family." says Tsuna. Tears drip from Giotto's eyes, streaming down his cheeks. He is hugging Tsuna tightly. Giotto is touched by his little brother's words. He knows that Tsuna experienced some terrible child hood.
He was with him all the time and knew what happened to him that time. He always protects him because he too, experienced some terrible past. In his past life, the terrible cold-blooded war, crimson red splattered everywhere. His old family had always supported him with sacrifices and protected him because he was an important person to them. He had many good allies, but they died too. Many people died back then.
Sometimes his enemies turns into loyal allies, it was rare indeed, but he too ordered his old family to kill some terrible people. They assassinate because he orders them. Giotto knows that many sacrifice needed to gain peace, but he tries his best to change their minds to negotiate them through peace. Unfortunately, some didn't accept him, and they attacked him instead. Luckily, his guardians were with him and fought as one to defend him or themselves. They really have a strong bond until today, except one. In the old days, his family did many good deeds too, but some were bad too.
He hated war. In the old days, he thought that he wanted to have a normal life, so he did what he wanted and retired early. He still remembers his best friend got killed by some unknown family he associated. He knows who it is, but still, he trusted him forever. His old memories contain many sad, happy, and many moments, so he treasures it deep inside his heart to never forget them.
"I… still remember our terrible old days we experienced together, Nii-san" says Tsuna with his sad tone. Giotto flinches. He hugs his little brother in comfort with his hands swirling around on his little brother's back to soothe him.
"I know, Tsu-kun. You must forget that terrible memories," says Giotto to comfort him.
He stops crying but he hears sniffing. He knows that his little brother is crying.
"I-I c-can't, nii-san. It hurts so much!" says Tsuna, and he begins to cry. Giotto softly pats his little brother's back in comfort.
"It's okay, Tsu-kun. Because, I am here and will always protect you" says Giotto, and his eyes contain determination to protect him. He continues to swirl his hands around his little brother's back to comfort him. Giotto looks up at the orange sky. He remembers what they did to him.
