Few hours ago before Tsuna wake up...

"Now, Tell me about Tsunayoshi's condition, Knuckle?" Giotto demanded softly but his voice clipped with anxiety as his intuition going haywire indicating what ever his sun guardian about to say he won't like it at all.

"Abuse. Your younger brother have been abused."

There's a long strain silence. None able to process immediately what they have been told as the information shook their very soul especially Giotto who went rigid as those words escaped at Knuckle's lips. It seems like the young don went into shock. Well, no one could blame him as all of them thinks that they might misheard Knuckle's answer so they ask him to repeat it again only to receive the same respond and they feel worse than ever. They felt like failures as they failed to save the child from his misery and let him deal with such suffering through all these years without them noticing a thing about his pain by himself.

"And what made you came into conclusion?" A monotone voice breaks the tense silence; All of them turn their attention towards the voice only for them to see a glaring and scowling platinum blonde CEDEF Boss,Alaude at the sun guardian.

The others gulped nervously as they never seen such grim expression at the latter as he always remain neutral at everything so seeing him that angry makes them uncomfortable and slightly worried for their life.

Knuckle just stared at him not even affected at the slightest at the deadly aura Alaude's emitting towards him. "Simple, I found old and new scars and bruises on his body. Not only that he has 3 broken ribs and I'm surprised to see him able to move not wincing in pain as if his body is already immune at such thing. Those injuries can't be self-inflicted someone is hitting him. Hurting him. I also find whip wounds at his back and stab wound. They're horrible."

There were collective gasps pure of horror. Knuckle paused to gather his bearings, he closed his eyes and he more senses than see Giotto was about to dashed at his little brother's side which he shouldn't as the boy needed the rest he could get as much so he had to stopped his friend that might caused the boy to be awoken roughly and be the reason for the poor boy having panic attacks and he can't have that from happening as the child is his patient.

" . Please." He demanded and the latter comply. "Tsunayoshi is already safe. I've already healed it but they're still reminder left. Scars" He could still remember clearly the horrible sight of the poor boy. Criss cross of whips marred Tsunayoshi's back. The wounds were rather recent, which only meant it happened before the death of their parents and there were a deep stab wound that was sewn at the small of his back. It like those were wounds are meant both to torture and kill the boy. Who could done such terrible thing to a sweet like Tsunayoshi? Surely. It's not his mother and father, right? Because if they did. They're monster. They don't deserve to be called a human being most especially a 'parent' to their child. Their death is not enough to pay their horrendous actions towards the innocent boy. Despite that his suspicion were confirmed by seeing those self-harm wounds that only been invoked by depression and the only reason he could find for the child to drove into such drastic action is massive abused from his loved ones.

After a moment of silence, Knuckle finally opened his eyes and as expected the rest were waiting for him to continue so he did what those expectant eyes told him, he went on as they all have the right to know the dire situation of the brunette especially Giotto, he needed this as he was the only one who could help him the most because of their bond as a family. "There's something more alarming than what I've inform you just now. I feared that I found out one your brother's darkest secret, he's doing self-harm to relieve his depression in the words Tsunayoshi tried to commit suicide multiple times but failed miserably. These drastic actions could only been invoked by a harsh environment so I've come into conclusion he was being abused by none other by your parents and had not a very good childhood experience. A broken childhood." he finished.

The atmosphere is heavy is no one dare to say a thing. None of them are brave enough to break it then not to go into hysterics. All of them looked at Giotto who stood silently at the corner with impassive expression, staring at Knuckle. They're all waiting for him to say a thing as they suspected much he will be the first one to spoke up and they're right about it as he finally say a thing after a moment of staring and processing all Knuckle's words. He questioned with emotionless tone:

"What kind of self-harm?"

"Various. Like food poisoning but most of it were cutting wounds." Knuckle simply replied.

"I see." With that Giotto strode where his little brother rests. Leaving the others with their own thoughts.

That's all Giotto needed to know. He was no fool and he was certain the rest figured out everything with the information Knuckle provided them; Tsunayoshi is broken: Both physical, spiritual and mental. And the boy needed help and saving before he could do more something stupid such as trying to kill himself once again.

And all he could do is cursed himself and dead as he entered where his brother safely sleeping.

G27~G27~G27

Giotto watched the slow rise and down of Tsunayoshi's chest indicating his alive which he's really grateful for that.

He suspected much but never did he expected too be that worse for the brunette to drove him from committing suicide not just once but many times and Giotto was never been glad all of his attempts were all in vain. At least now, he could try to save him from his misery because Giotto wouldn't be ever do the helping if his brother is dead so he's really thankful he's given another chance to make up from him and possibly fix him at his broken state.

But, Giotto couldn't helped but to feel guilty because if he didn't leave his brother then none of these would happen but even he stayed, there will be nothing he can do to help him at all because even when they're still child. He didn't notice any strange happenings at his family as they seems normal just like the rest. Well, he's still naive at that time so he failed to notice the forced and fake smiles of his younger brother showing them, lies coming out from his lips Thinking about it now, Giotto finally realized Tsunayoshi's been protecting him from the dark truth about their parents beating their own child. And he's certain his little brother doesn't want him to see such ugliness of their mother and father's personality. He wanted him to be ignorant so he would be oblivious and not to be tormented just like him which is much worse for the young don's part as he didn't want that. He wanted to help not to be able to stop his very own parents abusing his brother is a complete hell. He's not perfect, he had a fair share of mistreating his brother but never did he raise his hand to hurt Tsunayoshi. He just distance himself away from him, he pushed him away but never will he hurt him like his parents did. He had a good reason why he stay away from his brother and constant ignoring him, saying words that hurt the boy but it also breaks him but that is the only solution he found out at that time at his problem. But, now he would faced it without any fears, he won't run anymore even if its mean Tsunayoshi hating him completely by the process though he doubt it his sibling liking him the least for his actions in the past.

Giotto instantly froze with his thoughts as he saw Tsunayoshi's hand twitch at first he thought he was imagining things but it looks like he wasn't as it twitch again. He's brother is waking up. He waited for those beautiful caramel orbs to open but once it did he felt something break inside at him. Those eyes were no longer filled with life instead they were lifeless as if he willed himself to death like he loss the the will to live any further.

"Tsunayoshi..." Giotto called. He watched his brother momentarily froze as he was certain he was confused as hell why he sounded so small and different. As he know Tsunayoshi views him as egoistic bastard who thinks highly of himself. Not a very caring type of a brother so it's strange for him to both see and hear like a wounded animal. Then started to caress his cheeks very gently as if he's scared the younger would break. Very unlikely of him to show affection at Tsunayoshi but he needed him to see he cares. "Why...Why didn't you tell me?"

Tsuna narrowed his eyes in confusion but he has a vague idea what his older brother going to say next yet he still prompted to continue. "Didn't tell you what?"

"Abused."

The brunette blinked again and Giotto remain his gaze towards those blank eyes even he wanted to flinched, he can't. He wouldn't waver in front of the most important person in his life. Not until he's done expressing his part.

"You are being abused by our parents."

Tsuna eyes widened slightly but it went back to normal as soon as it happen. If Giotto wasn't paying attention he won't be able to see his reaction at all and that's is more enough to answered his question.

"So it's true? They're beating you all these years."

Tsuna remained silent as he continue to stare at Giotto with a blank look.

"What? I don't have a useless brother! You must be imagining things. That brat isn't a brother of mine!"

Tsuna was three years old when he heard those words escaped from his older brother's lips at first he paid no heed as he have no idea what it meant but as time passed by. He finally understand what the meaning of those hateful words. His own brother loathed him at every fiber of his being. He doesn't care about him at all yet the little boy could still see the concern looks of the older when he thought he wasn't looking at all. So, he e was aware that his brother cares for him though he just had his own way of showing his affection: Harsh words and pushing him away.

Tsuna had to admit he was hurt by those words because words are much painful than physical abuse. So...

"Why do you even care?" Tsuna asked coldly. He didn't deny neither answer the question directly but it didn't go unnoticed by the boy how the latter flinched at how callous he's interacting with him.

"Of course, I care because you're my brother." Giotto answered. "You're important to me. You might not believe me after all I've done to you in the past, I hurt you. I'm no different with our parents so I have no right to be in your side at this moment." He paused looking for the other's reaction but he remain unresponsive and impassive at the whole exchanged so he continued on. He want him understand to his real feelings. "I still care and love you,Tsuna. But I believe I have to say this: I'm sorry for hurting you and pushing you away when you needed me the most. That was not-"

Tsuna cut him off. "Stop apologizing when you purposely hurt me."

"Indeed but I have my reasons and it's not my time to tell you yet." Gitto smiled sadly. "But,Please give me another chance to prove to you that you're not alone in this battle of yours. That I'm here." He started to caressed gently the brunette's cheeks once again. "Let me show you how much you mean to me. I'm not asking you to forgive me but let me stay by your side so that I...I..." Giotto voice cracked, he was in a verged of crying and breaking down and started babbling nonsense. He was the one who's pathetic not-

A callous voice interrupted his musings, Tsuna. "You're not only a fool but a coward as well." Giotto grimaced as those words as it stung but he endured it as he let Tsuna expressed his part. "Though I'm no different. We're like two sides of the coin. Both different but at the same time were one. Let me tell you this: Once the mirror is broken it can't be fix. You could try but the cracks were be always there. The proof it won't be whole again. So, I suggest you stop what ever you're trying to accomplish because you will fail." he shoved Giotto's hand away from him harshly.

"No, I won't! I'll save you from your misery! I'll show you how much the beautiful the world is! That your existence means so much to us!"

"I'd liked to see you try." Tsuna challenged him.

"Fine by me." Giotto accepted. Eyes burning with determination and resolve.

Tsuna eyes softened for a moment. Longing evident at his features, he wanted to hear those words for so long and to see his older brother trying so hard to reach him; A warmth sensation lit up inside him. He had forgotten to feel due the events transpired in the past but seeing now his brother's eyes reminded him. The word long gone but maybe not: A brother's love and warmth.

For some reason, he felt exhausted that he let himself succumb in oblivion once again without a care of the world around him.

"Tsunayoshi!" Giotto panicked, seeing his brother loss his consciousness again.

"No worries,Giotto. You're brother is just extremely sleeping." A loud voice tried to calm him down from behind.

Giotto whirled and quite shock to see all of his friends except Alaude and Daemon inside the room without him noticing their presence at all. "Everyone! Since when did you get here?"

"Tsk. We're been here since the beginning, It's just that you're busy fussing over the brat that you didn't notice any of us What will happen if it wasn't us who sneaks in, huh? What if it's an enemy then you'll be goner before you know it!." G answered slightly annoyed at Giotto's reckless.

"I'm sorry. I'll pay more attention next time." Giotto apologized softly. The looks he's giving at the others is like a kick puppy which affected G the most.

"Haha~ Look what you've done, G. You made Giotto sad and Tuna-chan isn't brat. You're being a conceited again~" Asari smiled at G sweetly. Too sweet that it brought chills to everyone's spine.

Wait-Tuna-chan? Did he just called Tsunayoshi a Tuna?

All of them sweat dropped at the weird endearment Asari Ugetsu used calling Tsunayohi.

Asari's voice snapped everyone back to reality as he sweetly demanded G to apologized. "Now, G apologize. You're being a meanine to Giotto and Tuna-chan~"

"Why would I-?!" G halted as Asari continue to smile at him. It's the smile of the devil itself. Everyone stepped back. Leaving G to face Asari alone and the right hand man could help but to thought they were 'Traitors'.

"Well~What are you waiting for G?" Asari tilted his head still smiling at G.

G lowered his head and grumbled. "Sorry."

"What? I can't hear you. Louder, G~"

"I SAID SORRY! DAMN IT!" G shouted loudly that it could wake up the whole neighborhood. Luckily, Giotto already figured something like this will happen, he covered Tsunayoshi's ears with his hands.

Upon hearing his apology, Asari went back to normal as if he didn't just turn a devil incarnate a moment ago.

Everyone sweat dropped again at the instant change of the rain's guardian behavior.

G grumbled under his breath cursing Giotto's tendency summoning demons with those 'kick puppy looks' while looking at his boss whom is still oblivious with everything.

"Nufufu~ Well isn't that an interesting show." Daemon materialized before them. "Such a bold love confession, Giotto~"

Giotto turned beet red. "What the-?!"

But Daemon isn't done yet. "I don't care about your love life no matter how much interesting it is. What I care is the recovery of Tsunayoshi."

Every stared agape at Daemon. Daemon cared somebody aside of Elena?! The world must coming to an end.

"Nufufu~ Don't give that look or I'll gouge your eye out" Daemon warned them seriously.

Everyone gulped nervously at that statement.

The uneasy atmosphere is been cut off by another voice near at the threshold. "Hn. The melon head something agreeable this time around"

A vein snapped at Daemon's head but he paid no attention at the loathed nick name that a certain cloud given to him.

They all turned their attention at the new additional member in the room. They're surprised to see Alaude leaning at the threshold.

Wait-Did just Alaude agreed at Daemon just now? Meaning he wants their eyes gouge?

"Tsk, Stop thinking nonsense. You morons, If you continue thinking about your eyes being gouge out then I might just do it by myself. " Alaude clipped his tongue with obvious annoyance.

They nodded vigorously not wanting to cross path with bloody interrogator.

"So, you're willing to help as well, Alaude?" Giotto asked albeit hopeful from the latter's respond.

"Hn."

"I'll take that as a yes then."

"Now, extreme don't forget about !" Knuckle reminded him that there are people inside the room aside from his mist and cloud guardian.

"Yare yare~ Even I hate brats I can tolerate one such as Mini-Primo(Tsunayoshi)." Lampo scratched his head lazily.

"Tsk. You're the brat here!" G interjected, smacking the lightning guardian's head harshly earning a painful whine from the other but been just ignored as the storm guardian return his gaze but to Primo. "He's part of family and as your best friend, I would gladly help towards his recovery."

"Same goes for me. I'll help to wash little Tsunayoshi's pain." Asari stated. "We're all here to help when a family needed one and you are a family, Giotto so is Tsunayoshi so... "

Giotto felt his eyes watered as he give them all a grateful smile. "Thank you.. Everyone."

Now, everyone has agreed to help. The first step for Tsuna's recovery is to melt down his frozen eyes which isn't easy at all but given in time surely he will succeed because Giotto is not alone in this battle, his family is with him and once they act as one there's no problem they could solve.

That's right, they will melt down the ice;frozen Tsunayoshi's heart and heal his wounds. Scars that shattered his well being might remain but as time passed by, it will be forgotten and will become nothing but a faint bitter memory of the past as the happy memories overcome such dark history then the little sky will smile again.

Someday...

Tsunayoshi's scars and pain will begone but for now they will need to strengthen their resolve of helping and saving him from himself or else they will be the one whose going to be destroyed in the end.

To Be Continued...
