But I Don't Know How to Love Him ─ Chapter 5

'A Visit from a Friend or Foe?'

And there he was stunned, trapped in between two dilemmatic choices which were unbound to unfavorable outcomes. Ugetsu knew that he mustn't let the Vongola Primo to meet with Tsuna, especially since he was still unsure what Giotto would do to the helpless brunette once they met. But the price of betraying Giotto, the man that he had sworn to protect long ago as a guardian and the same person whom he had his whole affection on with, was just too high for him to pay.

"No," Ugetsu said, his face was making a hard dilemmatic frown, "I won't ever betray you." The Rain Guardian replied with a sad thoughtful smile written on his expression.

"You believe me, right? You won't disappoint me, will you?" Giotto asked again over the phone, his voice was slightly content but there's still a somehow threatening calm in his tone.

"Of course not," Ugetsu ensured, his heart felt quite remorseful when he said it, "I believe you, Giotto."

"Good," Giotto said sullenly, which made Ugetsu to wonder what made the Primo to say it with such voice tone. "Then, don't forget to bring Tsunayoshi with you," the blond said, making Ugetsu to grit his teeth after hearing that,

"I expect to meet him immediately. Alone."

And with that last order, Giotto turned off the phone call, leaving the other guy to be silent and to wonder deeply of all the options that he had. Even so Ugetsu knew he couldn't ignore all the evidence and the fact of what happened to Tsuna, a part of him still trusted Giotto. Yes, he wanted to trust Giotto. That's why he needed to clear all of this. And what better way to do so but to confront the man himself?

'I want to believe you, Giotto. I really do. So, please. Please tell me that you didn't hurt Tsuna back then.' the raven haired guardian whispered slightly in his thoughts, wanting to trust his secret lover with his whole heart.

Determined, Ugetsu decided to put everything on risk. Even so he's afraid if he found out that Giotto was the one to blame for Tsuna's misery, he's willing to do it. He didn't want to just stay in the shadow anymore.

If Giotto was indeed had changed into someone that he didn't know anymore, Ugetsu wanted to be the one who stopped the Vongola Primo from making irrevocable mistakes and reminded the kind person who Giotto was once before. The same kind person whom Ugetsu fell in love with.

"Ugetsu-nii?" Yamamoto called, wanting to catch the older guy's attention. The young swordsman walked toward his older brother after he gave Tsuna a towel to dry him off. The brunette was now fully dressed too, wearing a pair of black pants and blue T-shirt that Ugetsu gave to him back then. After Hibari took his leave, Yamamoto and Tsuna exited the bathroom and were standing on the hallway along with Ugetsu.

And since there's no effect at all, Takeshi decided to call again, "Hey, Ugetsu-nii? Hello? Earth to Ugetsu-nii?"

After a few moments of Yamamoto calling and Ugetsu ignoring, finally the First Rain Guardian responded.

"Oh!" he exclaimed, "Sorry, I was lost in thoughts back then. What is it Takeshi?"

"Are you okay?" the young swordsman asked. His face was making a confused look with his sharp black eyebrows furrowed, "You look horrible, you know!"

"Ahh, I'm sorry about that." Ugetsu replied, rubbing the back of his head apologetically, "I'm alright, Takeshi. I'm just…" he looked away for a while as he paused for a moment, "Tired of all the drama."

"Ehh?! Drama? What drama? Like TV show drama or something?" Yamamoto asked innocently, although it more sounded like stupidly. "Maybe Ugetsu-nii just thinks too much!"

"You think?" the older guy replied as he threw his glance to Yamamoto's face then to the frowning brunette.

"Yeah!" the sportsman confirmed, "Just smile less and think more! Like me!"

Such statement made Ugetsu to be confused,

"Huh? Don't you mean the opposite? Smile more and think less?"

"Ohh? Yeah! I mean that! Ahahaha! Did I say it wrong?" the baseball fanatic just smiled all-so-merrily, acting all oblivious of his own mistake, "Maa~ That's why you don't get it, Ugetsu-nii! You keep thinking more than you should!"

As much as Ugetsu wanted to facepalm knowing how idiotically wrong his little brother could be, the taller guy couldn't help but to give a happy smile in return. It was true that Yamamoto's killer smile was contagious. It was like a disease that could infect everybody inside the radius but in a much more positive way.

"Hahaha," the First Rain Guardian laughed gracefully, feeling slightly relieved that his burden somehow got lightened, "You're right, Takeshi! I really shouldn't think too much! I mean, if anything should happen, I can count on you, right?"

"Of course! Hibari and Tsuna will also help too!" Yamamoto threw a quick glance to Tsuna and gave him his bright grin, "Right, Tsuna?"

"Umm… I can help too? B-but w-what can I d-do?" Tsuna asked timidly. He could feel so much warmth coming from the raven haired boy and it made him feel so weird.

"Of course you can help!" Yamamoto confirmed again, making the brunette to slightly flush in red.

"Thank you, everyone." Ugetsu said in relief which made Yamamoto to reply it with his perfect smile and Tsuna nodded in regard.

After all that, Asari looked at his wristwatch again and said a little, "I need to go now. Sorry I can't make it to have breakfast with both of you. My boss is expecting me to meet him immediately, along with someone else." The First Rain Guardian said with a dilemmatic voice tone, marking that his heart and feeling was deeply struggling.

He decided to call Giotto as his boss in order to avoid traumatizing Tsuna. Still, by saying that, he was able to warn Takeshi of the trouble he was really in.

"Can you protect Tsuna, Takeshi?" the older guy asked, slightly turning on his heel to face his little brother, and giving a thoughtful expression to the raven haired teen.

"Leave it to me!" Yamamoto smiled again, assuring his older brother to believe him taking care of the small brunette and protecting him. He then looked at Tsuna again, gave him a bright happy grin and said, "Let's eat, Tsuna!"

"R-right…" the boy replied shyly as he gave a sheepish smile to the smiling raven haired teen.

That was when Yamamoto suddenly exclaimed as he just remembered about something.

"Ooh! I need to take the shower first before that!" the baseball jock said as he gave a sudden clap after remembering that. He looked at Tsuna again, smiling all happy and oblivious to the brunette, though there's a glint of mischief inside that grin.

"Say, Tsuna. Do you want to help me wash my back? We can have a shower together! Isn't it nice?!" Yamamoto said innocently for something that sounded not so innocent at all.

"Umm… Err… I g-guess? I m-mean if Ya-Yamamoto wants it… then I j-just…" Tsuna stuttered nervously.

But of course, there's someone who was not really okay by the idea of 'his little teenage brother having a steamy shower together with another person', especially since he thought that his little brother was starting to be sexually active and they're both still underaged!

"Actually, there's something that I'd like to talk with Tsuna for a moment." Ugetsu stated calmly, "I'm sorry Takeshi but can you reschedule your '\shower together for later?"

"Oh! Don't worry!" Takeshi replied, still giving his signature smile to his older brother, making Asari to think 'this is easier than I thought', only to be proven wrong by the next sentence,

"I can wait! I'll wait for Tsuna! After that, we can have a steamy hot shower together, Tsuna!"

Alright, this was starting to be not so innocent at all. Hearing that his little brother wanted to have a steamy hot shower with Tsuna, it somehow sounded all so perverted in Ugetsu's mind. Heck, he wouldn't let Takeshi to ravish and take advantage of this innocent brunette. Not ever.

"Well, Takeshi, what I meant before is, you can take the shower by yourself now, can't you? Besides, Tsuna just took a shower back then. It will be redundant for him to take it again with you, won't it? It's also a waste of water too. Now we can't let that to be happened, right? It's bad for the environment." Ugetsu replied, insinuating a little hint that even someone as oblivious as Yamamoto should be able to read the hint… or not.

Still as obliviously naïve as ever, the young Rain Guardian was unable to notice the whole hint or maybe he noticed it but pretended that he didn't know. After all, no one really knows what's inside of his head because Yamamoto wasn't called an airhead for nothing.

"Of course! That's why we need to take a shower while together! And be as close as possible! To save more water!" the raven haired jock replied, giving the innocent angel-like grin to his older brother, for something not innocent at all.

"True enough. But don't you think he can catch a cold if he takes too much shower?" Ugetsu was still unrelenting.

"Don't worry about that! It will be so hot that he won't catch a cold at all! Ohh, I can hug him when we're having a shower! That way it will be warm enough for him! How about that, Tsuna? Sounds good, right?" Yamamoto smiled again, this time his face was even further than just a simple angel-like grin.

It looked too innocent. Fiercely innocent. That it seemed to be very believable yet very unreal. How could someone with innocent smile, voice tone and expression hide some ulterior motives behind this angel-like grin? Well, even angels have their wicked scheme.

"Ehh? H-hug? T-together…?" was all Tsuna could reply from that so-called innocent Yamamoto's remarks.

"Ohh, Tsuna, you don't have to listen to him at all. He sometimes makes no sense at all. It's as if his brain was out of nowhere." Ugetsu said, this time even more demanding than before.

"But isn't Ugetsu-nii in a little bit hurry? Talking like this costs a lot of time, you know." Surely, Ugetsu knew debating with Yamamoto like this was a big waste of time. Wonder why Ugetsu took all these efforts just for something like that?

"Yeah?" Asari raised his eyebrows in a questioning gesture, "Maybe I should leave now and let Tsuna accompany me? That way he'll be much safer." he gave a deep intonation in the last word, which made Takeshi to be slightly surprised.

"Ehh? Safe from what? It will be safer if Tsuna takes a shower with me. Being alone is dangerous after all." Yamamoto replied in a confused voice tone, unsure of what his brother meant by that.

"Yeah, physically safe but sexually endangered." Ugetsu retorted. If Yamamoto was fairly surprised just then, he was now practically flabbergasted because of the accusation.

"Sexually?! How cruel! I'm not planning to do something bad to Tsuna!" Yet. Or at least he didn't think that the bad things were bad at all.

"Really? Does taking advantage of such innocent person like Tsuna count as something bad?" The First Rain Guardian asked, giving not only accusing but also judgmental voice tone to the baseball jock.

"Of course it doesn't! If he's okay too, then why not?" was how Yamamoto innocently replied as he pouted his lips, upset of what his brother said to him just now.

"I really cannot grasp the whole idea of it. Why don't you enlighten me, Takeshi? You and your raging teenage hormones plus an innocent angel like Tsuna seem to me like a very bad combination." Ugetsu replied back as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, his face was constantly giving a questioning look to the young horny baseball jock.

"Don't Ugetsu-nii learn about opposite attraction? It's like Yin and Yang!" Yamamoto debated, still unrelenting to lose the fight with his older brother. Just like Ugetsu, Yamamoto also crossed his arms, copying the older guy.

"Only more perverted. How can you justify your perverseness with that philosophy?" the music-loving guardian asked rhetorically as he threw a quick mischievous smirk on his face. Wonder what's Ugetsu up too? Why did he suddenly give a knowing smile to Yamamoto?

After being called pervert, of course, Yamamoto wouldn't accept being called like that. He really believed that he was not a pervert. He's just horny. It's two different things, Yamamoto thought.

"I'm not a pervert!" he gave his rebuttal to the Rain Guardian, unwilling to back down.

"Are too."

"Am not!" Yamamoto denied again. His voice was slightly raised.

"Are too!"

"Am not! Right, Tsuna?" This time he decided to ask Tsuna for back up. He knew that he wouldn't be able to convince his brother if he's just alone. Now, with Tsuna, he hoped that he could.

Yamamoto then gave a 180 degree turn to face Tsuna who was supposedly to be standing right behind him. Or at least he thought it that way. Because, just when he turned his head, tilting it to the side in order to see the young brunette, the said boy was nowhere to be seen.

"Tsuna?" Yamamoto called unwarily. And just when he noticed it, the raven haired teen could only gasp breathlessly in quite a shock.

"Oh no! Tsuna's gone!" Yamamoto exclaimed, utterly dumbstruck of what just happened. Although the brunette was gone from his sight, he didn't fee alerted because of it. His gut feeling told him that Tsuna was not taken away by his master or something like that. He knew that the brunette was still safe.

He didn't need to wander that long though, since Ugetsu decided to enlighten him.

"Too bad. I let Kyoya to take him for breakfast just then when you're busy arguing with me."

So that's why Tsuna was gone. Back then, Hibari came again from behind Yamamoto's sight and took Tsuna to the kitchen to have breakfast. It seemed Ugetsu believed Hibari would be able to protect the brunette too. That's why he let Hibari to take care of Tsuna too.

"With Hibari?" Yamamoto asked, staggered. "Oh no! This is bad! It's dangerous, Ugetsu-nii! He'll rape him! Rape, you hear me, rape!" the baseball jock said it with quite panicked voice tone, overreacting a bit which made Ugetsu to sweat-drop a little on his forehead.

"He's not like that, you know. Besides, you're the one that seems to want to take advantage of Tsuna so badly. I don't know. I get the vibe that you want to rape him the most."

After hearing that, the baseball ace widened his eyes in disbelief. He felt utterly surprised after being accused by his older brother like that. It was true though. Rape? Yamamoto would never do such a thing. He'd never hurt Tsuna and he promised that already!

"C-cruel! How cruel! You can't call it as a rape if Tsuna enjoys it too!" Oh wow. So he did intend to rape Tsuna but he wouldn't force it on him. Yamamoto thought that if he raped Tsuna, it wouldn't be counted as one if the other boy enjoyed it as well. What kind of logic was that? Sometimes, Ugetsu wondered how Yamamoto's mind works.

"See? One more reason why Kyoya should take him away from you." he retorted matter-of-factly as he launched a smug grin to the other boy.

"All the arguing took a lot of time and for that? Ugetsu-nii did this on purpose!" Yamamoto gave a short, accusing answer to his brother, after knowing that Tsuna was gone with Hibari to eat breakfast and let him to shower alone.

"Maybe." he retorted it with a playful tone as a winning smile was hovering in his face,

But of course, Yamamoto was not the type of person that easily gives up. Acting like a teenager he really is, he started to launch his cranky mode.

"Why?!" Yamamoto asked, pouting his lips in a quiet upset mode. Though it looked very cute on Ugetsu's eyes.

"Because I want to protect Tsuna from you."

"Why?!" he asked again, still pouting.

"Because you have tendencies to do something perverted to that innocent boy."

"Why?!" another question was launched by the pouting boy. If it kept up, it would start to be annoying.

"I don't know. Ask your raging hormones!" Ugetsu answered, feeling a little bit irritated by the constant questions.

"Why?!" and he asked again.

"Alright, Takeshi, this is starting to get exhausting."

"Why?!" and again.

"Yamamoto Takeshi, what's wrong with you? Come on, stop that." It seemed Ugetsu reached his limit already.

"But Ugetsu-nii didn't answer my question!" Yamamoto retaliated back, his eyes looked confused but there's also a hint of upset in his voice tone. But such statement made the Rain Guardian to be rather perplexed,

"I did! What more do you want me to say?"

This made Yamamoto to reply,

"See? You're doing it again! Back then, I kept asking why Ugetsu-nii hasn't left yet! You said that you needed to go this instant!"

So that's why Yamamoto kept asking why to the older guy. He actually wanted to know why his brother hadn't left yet to meet with his boss, instead of arguing like he previously did before.

"Well, sorry if I didn't answer you back then but someone was just too vague for me to understand! I would have gone sooner if you hadn't been – " not even be able to finish his answer, the young sportsman gave a quick, sharp reply.

"No, you're not." Yamamoto said simply which made Ugetsu to be stunned, then he added again, "Ugetsu-nii, you're stalling."

"I beg to differ." the older guy averted his eyes from his little brother, his face was unreadable as if he's hiding something.

"You are stalling." Yamamoto stated again.

"I am not." Ugetsu denied again, this time he decided to close his eyes and tried his best to swallow all his emotions back, not wanting to let it shown to his little brother.

"You know you're supposed to dealing it and not stalling it." Yamamoto added, this time with more perseverance than before.

To his surprise, Ugetsu retorted back to Yamamoto. After he gave a sad frown to his little brother, he decided to mockingly say. Or rather, accuse.

"Well, you are not helping." He gave a very long sigh, a tired one, to Yamamoto as his eyes turned somber, creeping with his guilt. Ugetsu realized that he couldn't hide it from his brother anymore. Not when everything Yamamoto said to him was extremely bull's eyes.

"Fine," Ugetsu admitted, "You're right. Maybe I am stalling. I just…" he paused again, unsure of what to say as his dilemma grew inside of him, "I just don't know what I'm going to say with Giotto once I meet him."

Seeing that Yamamoto was still looking at him, demanding him for further explanation, Ugetsu decided to explain again.

"He now knew about Tsuna. He even asked me to bring him with me immediately. Frankly, I don't know what to do or to say now. It's not like I don't believe Giotto but I know that I can't ignore the fact that Tsuna is extremely terrified."

Ugetsu took a deep breath once, twice. Then, he decided to add again.

"And now, I'm confused how to keep Tsuna away from Giotto. At least until all of these are cleared. That's why I keep it as a secret. I can't traumatize Tsuna more than he's already been."

"Isn't there something that I can help? Or at least, someone that can protect Tsuna from that rapi—" noticing that he almost insulted Giotto in front of Ugetsu, Yamamoto decided to correct it, even though his whole heart screamed not to, "I mean, Primo."

"I am not very sure about it." Ugetsu whispered softly as if he was just thinking out loud. "But I'll just figure something out soon. In the meantime, you just have to protect Tsuna with all cost and act like nothing's happened in front of him, yeah?"

"Sure! Like I said before, you can count on me!" Yamamoto agreed eagerly. Though it seemed like he didn't notice the danger at all.

After confirming that and believing that he could trust Yamamoto for his problem, Ugetsu decided to conclude it all. He might not be ready to meet Giotto but he knew that he didn't have any other choice than that.

"Good. Now go take a shower, Takeshi. Afterwards, have some breakfast with Kyoya and Tsuna. I'll leave it all to you now."

And with that, Ugetsu took his leave. He walked away from Yamamoto, leaving his little brother to take a shower. With the new determination in his heart, Asari was then heading to the Vongola Headquarter in order to meet Giotto.

While he was walking and heading to his car, Ugetsu knew that he must do something to protect Tsuna with all cost. He picked up his phone and made a call to one of his trusted friends.

After he typed the number on his phone, he waited for a while until there's a replying sound from over the phone.

"Hello," Ugetsu called with his phone, "Yeah, it's me, Ugetsu. Can I ask something from you? I really need your help."

Meanwhile after all that, Yamamoto already finished taking his bath. He pulled out a towel and dried himself up with it. Then, he picked his clothes to wear. He chose a pair of casual-looking navy blue shorts and a light blue long-sleeved T-shirt with a baseball glove and bat on its front. His sleeves were also rolled up too, showing his tan skin.

After he finished, he went to search for Hibari and Tsuna to have breakfast with them together.

"Tsuna, Tsuna, Tsuna!" Yamamoto called happily as he walked down the hall, heading to the kitchen.

"Where's my Tuna?" Yamamoto wondered, feeling very fluffy after hearing his cute nickname for the young brunette. He strolled again down the hall, sometimes making a simple musical hum as he walked.

"Tunaaa~ Where are you? Let's eat breakfast!" he called again, sometimes followed by a wolf whistle from him.

When he finally reached the kitchen, he swiftly opened the door and proceeded to the room. And that's when he saw him.

"Ahh! There you are Tsuna!"

Unbeknownst to all of them, someone was watching them from outside of the house. There stand on the courtyard, a boy with a fiery untamed red hair, wearing a black suit with its sleeves rolled up and a loose black tie on his collar. And not far from him, there's also another guy with a black suit, tidier than the previous one, looking older than him but with the same red hair and similar face. Although, the older guy had shorter hair.

"How is it?" the young guy asked to the boy.

"They're on the kitchen." The boy explained steadily, referring to Yamamoto, Tsuna and Hibari.

"Good. Don't forget that, we're here for that boy."

This made the younger male to ask, slightly nervously,

"Who is he again, Cozarto-nii?"

The older guy traced his eyes to the house and then he looked back at his little brother,

"You forgot that already, Enma?" Cozarto asked, making Enma winced up his face apologetically. After that, he said again simply,

"He's Tsunayoshi. Giotto's long lost brother. And we are here to take him back to Giotto."
