Here's the new chapter I promised you guys.

Let's see what happens to our precious Tsuna in this chappie shall we.

Also thank you for all your kind words it really keeps me motivated to keep writing.

Disclaimer: I do not in any way own KHR, but if I did it would be Hibari and Tsuna all the way.

Pairing: This is mainly Giotto and Tsuna.

Summary: Tsuna is left to fend for himself when his mother becomes sick and he is left with his abusive father. Known as Dame-Tsuna and no friends can anyone save him from his father?

Last time…

Giotto was too happy at finally seeing Tsuna again that he wasn't paying attention to the brunet complaining rather he was more concerned at the bandages on the teen's arms that he was obviously trying to hide before.

'What's happened to you Tsuna?'

Giotto was determined to find out one way or another.

Chapter Four: Looking for the Truth

Tsuna was redder than a tomato by the time he checked in at the nurses' station and it was all because of Giotto. It started when the blond dragged him hand in hand all the way to the hospital and got even worse when the nurses starting fussing over the fact that he'd brought a 'date'. Not to mention the whole time Giotto was completely oblivious to all of it.

Tsuna took a deep breath before opening the door to his mother's room; it was something he often found himself doing as if preparing himself to put on a show that everything was ok. He put on his best smile and opened the door.

"Kaa-san, I'm back."

There was no response. It wasn't until Giotto came in after the brunet that he realized why there was so response, Tsuna's mother was in a coma. He watched as the brunet changed the flowers and put in the bouquet that he'd just bought only moments ago. It was strange to see another human being lying so vulnerable on a bed like that; he could only imagine what Tsuna must have been going through to have to watch someone he cared about so deeply only to rely on machines to survive. Giotto kept watching as the brunet fluffed his mother's pillows and covered her with the blanket more, all the while he was talking to her about his day as if she was awake. He felt completely out of place just standing there watching the small brunet try to brighten up room in his own way. Giotto also noted that Tsuna acted differently around his mother than around others, his smile seemed more genuine and happy compared to the fear he noticed when people got too close.

"Ah! I almost forgot! Kaa-san this is Giotto-san," Tsuna finally settled himself down on a chair beside her bed, "I use to go to school with him and I ran into him today."

"Uhm…hello?" Giotto waved awkwardly at the lifeless body Tsuna was chatting with so unusually cheerfully.

Time seemed to tick on by so slowly as Giotto watched the younger boy chat with his mother's unmoving form, occasionally he'd be brought into the conversation but every time he wasn't sure how to respond and when he did it felt so unnatural.

Eventually the blond excused himself stating he was going to get something to drink and would be back soon. But if anything Giotto just used that as an excuse to get some air and more importantly find out how Tsuna's mother ended up in a coma. He was a man on a mission to save the brunet from what was troubling him and to do that he would first have to find out what had happened to him to make him so afraid. To do that he was going start by talking to with the doctor that was treating Sawada-san.

He wanted answers and he was going to get them one way or another.

Back With Tsuna…

Tsuna let out a sigh of relief when Giotto finally left, his facade shattered the moment the blond excused himself from the room. He didn't want to be pitied again just like the nurses did whenever he came to visit his precious Kaa-san, especially not by someone who'd only just come back into his life.

"Kaa-san…I'm sorry about that," Tsuna's hands trembled as they gripped the hem of his sweatshirt, "I-It's just that I didn't want him to worry too much."

He wanted her to tell him it was o.k but he was met with nothing but silence and the constant beeping of the machines that were keeping her alive. He really didn't want to lie but he also didn't want someone pitying him and his situation right now, not when everything was his fault.

Tsuna could already feel his tears on the verge of falling, he felt feel himself break more and more every day and today was no different from yesterday.

The brunet was having a hard time calming down so he started humming a song his mother would sing him whenever he would cry or when she'd know something was wrong with him. He didn't know how but she always knew when he was upset and how to make him smile. Whether it'd be the sound of her voice or letting him help her cooking, she always knew. Though perhaps it was his mother's maternal instinct that always helped her figure it out, either way he was grateful to have such a caring mother, unfortunately he can't say the same for his father.

Despite how Iemitsu treated him, he remembered a time when his father wasn't as the cruel man he knows now. He remembered the day of the accident it was the day everything changed and it was his entire fault. Tsuna calmed down after a while but kept humming anyway, he was getting more exhausted by the minute so he laid his head on the pillow just to rest his head. As much as he wanted to fall asleep he had to be careful not to so he could make it back home on time. It wouldn't be good if Iemitsu found out he left the house without permission after all. Unfortunately he was fighting a losing battle and eventually he dozed off holding on to his mother's hand.

With Giotto…

He'd been wandering the halls for a few minutes trying to get any of the nurses to try to talk to him, but they were either too busy or too distracted whenever he went up to them to ask them a question they'd start swooning over him the minute they saw him. He was starting to lose hope that he'd never find out anything, he was turning the corner when he accidently bumped into someone. Papers flew all over their heads as they both hit the floor.

"Oi! Watch where you're going, brat!"It was a doctor, who was obviously none too happy at being knocked over for no reason.

"Ah! Gomen…," he got up as fast as he could gathering the still falling papers as fast as he could when he noticed a magazine, but it wasn't just any magazine it featured a very revealing nurse in a frilly laced underwear with the matching bra. The only reason he could tell it was a nurse was because of the nurse's hat she was wearing and the stethoscope she was wearing she was holding very seductively. Giotto practically had a nosebleed at the sight until he noticed the file behind the porn magazine, it read: Nana Sawada.

Could it be he'd finally found something that would be able to answer all his questions? Unfortunately before he could look through it the file was snatched away from his hands.

"Give that back! It's confidential, only I'm allowed to look through it, damn brat!" It was a tall, scruffy older man with less than shoulder-length hair scowling at him for discovering his light reading.

"Aaah…wait! Are you Sawada's doctor?" Giotto grabbed onto the doctor's sleeve before he could leave, this was the chance he was waiting for. Finally someone who would be able to answer all his questions or at least he hoped so.

"Hmm…What of it?"

"I was hoping you tell me more about how she ended up in a coma." The blond was desperate to have someone give him answers.

"No can do," "Unless you're family I'm not telling you anything." The man said bluntly. He turned to walk away, after he had more pressing 'private' matters to attend to than a snot-nosed brat. He only got a couple of feet before he felt a tug on his shoulder making turn back to face the blond brat.

"What!? Please I'm just trying to find a way to help my friend." Pleaded Giotto.

"Look I don't care I have an obligation to protect my patient's privacy so even if I wanted to I can't tell you anything." Shamal informed him annoyed that he wasn't leaving him alone.

"There's gotta be something I can do to change your mind." Giotto kept begging the doctor to give him something, anything that could give him a clue as to how to help the brunet who seemed so broken.

"Look you've wasted enough of my time," Shamal however just shrugged him off and tried to walk around the teen. "I've got better things to do."

Seeing as how Giotto wasn't making any headway with the doctor he decided to take matters into his own hand and took the doctor's files away from him including his porn.

"Is that so then I guess you wouldn't mind if I told the nurses about your 'special' reading."Giotto smiled in victory as he flaunted the said book in front of the doctor.

"What makes you think anybody's going to listen to a brat like you." Shamal called his bluff, as if he would ever fall for a cheap trick like this. Of course that didn't mean he was going to let him ruin his reputation in the hospital over something so trivial.

"Don't be so sure about that." Despite what he'd said his smile didn't falter, he knew better than to show weakness in front of an adversary. If he wanted answers he was going to have to play hardball, even if it meant damaging the man's character.

"Ohh…what's that suppose to mean?" the scruff man inquired.

"Thought you'd never ask." Before Shamal realized it he saw a yellow blur run past him, it was then he realized where the kid was going… the nurse's station.

'Crap! If he shows them that I'll never get a date with any of the hotties here!'

"Gah!" he ran as fast as he could behind the teen but found it was too late by the time he made it the blond-haired brat already had the hot nurses wrapped around his finger. He could only watch as the brat cried his way into the very same bosoms he wanted nothing more than to take pleasure in. He watched as the teen spewed lies about how he had forced the magazine into his supposedly pure virgin eyes. By the time he managed to get there to explain himself every nurse was against him for apparently ruining a 'child's innocence' and disgusted for being an overall pervert.

"Kyaa!" a nurse he was going to have coffee later that day squealed.

"Eh!? Dr. Shamal you pervert!" his Monday date slapped him.

"No wait it's a misunderstanding! It's just research, I swear!" he begged them to believe him but the blond's phony crying wasn't helping his situation.

"No way!"

"Get away from us!"

"Pervert!"

One after another completely either insulted him or shot him down. Each one taking a shot at his pride and most unfortunately for him, his manhood.

"Ahhh! Wait!..."

"I can do this all day~" Giotto mouthed at the doctor, enjoying as the nurses rallied against the perverted doctor. After all the fake crying he asked the nurses for a drink which they all gladly did but not before giving the doctor one last dirty look.

"No wait!" Shamal tried to reason with them but it was too late.

"You know this wouldn't have happened if you would've just told me, but I give you one last chance before I go to the next floor and do the same thing." Giotto was more than happy to have some more fun with the doctor at least till he got what he came for. "I'll tell you what you tell me about Sawada-san and I'll get the nurses to like you again, neh?"

"Tch…fine I'll tell you what happened but only in my office." He snatched back his files from the Giotto and walked sullenly back towards his office.

"Great~" Giotto said nonchalantly following the annoyed doctor "Let's get going then."

"Damn brat…" he muttered.

After making themselves comfortable in Shamal's office, Giotto prepared himself mentally for whatever the perverted doctor had to say.

"So what exactly did you want to know?" Shamal stared at blond teen irritated that he was just humiliated in front of so many hot nurses.

Giotto closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath, he had to keep his determination strong no matter what. He opened his eyes and looked at the doctor intently giving him his full attention.

"I want to know everything…"

I finally managed to finish this chapter; I must say it took quite a while to finish it. Damn you Writer's Block! I'm back to just having one job which means I finally have time to update more. This is great considering I've already been snowed in my house so that means I get to sleep in more under my warm blankets. Anyway I'm going to stop rambling and let you guys go do whatever you want like…maybe a review? Please?

Thanks for still reading!

Bye bye
