I'm evil, I know... But you all actually love me deep down in your heart xxx I had a fanfirl moment that lasted a couple of weeks... This chapter is to everyone who reviewed cos everyone got it right -_-

Disclaimer: Meh

"Since all of his injuries have come from abuse and it's been going on for a couple of years, it may result in him having PTSD..."

Now that was one thing they weren't expecting. To be told that a kid got abused and to also have a slight chance of him having PTSD were not on top of their list, especially Giotto's.

"We'll help him through this" announced Giotto.

"Oya, don't you think you're going a bit far for a child that isn't even yours Giotto" stated Daemon. The others knew that he demanded an answer, as what he said should have been a question, not a statement.

"... I'm going to adopt him" answered Giotto.

"WHAT?!"

"HaHaHa that's great Giotto!"

"May god bless you both."

"Nufufufu"

"Hn."

"Troublesome..."

"Wait wait wait, hold up! You barely know the kid and you're gonna adopt him?"

"Yeah, why not?" said Giotto with a smile plastered on his face. He didn't really see what the problem was.

"What if he's a spy?" Giotto just looked at his best friend (who has recently turned right-hand man) with a look on his face saying 'What-The-Hell?'

"I swear you are an idiot G."

"I am NOT an idiot!"

"Says the guy who said that Tsuna was a spy."

"W-Well he might be..."

"Seriously, just look at him. How could a kid like that be a spy?"

"Ok. But what if he's a-"

"He's not an assassin either G."

"Hmph. How do you know?"

Giotto just smiled at G and answered with a simple "Intuition"

The others (who seemed to have been forgotten) just watched G make a complete fool of himself in front of Giotto and watched the scene unfold with smiles (and smirks) on their faces.

"Would you like to see him?"

"Eh? We can? Are you sure Knuckles?"

"I don't see why not. Just don't make him strain himself and he should be fine"

So Giotto went into the room followed by his guardians. He made sure they were quiet before he entered, as he didn't want Tsuna to wake up and jostle his injuries.

"He's sleeping at the minute so don't be too loud ok."

Giotto nodded his head and sat down next to Tsuna, making sure to be extra quiet.

"Tsuna, when you wake up you'll be living here with me now. So that means you won't have to live on the streets any more I'll make sure you get better and have lots of food to eat, so you can grow up to be big and strong, ok."

"Maa Maa, I'm sure Takeshi would want to be your friend as well and I'll be your uncle soon too"

"Hn. Kyoya will teach you how to fight."

"Ryohei will extremely go on runs with you!"

"I'll let you look after Lambo."

"You idiot! You can't just dump him with your kid!"

"He might be good with kids, so if he is I'll be able to sleep longer then."

G just sighed at Lambo. He would have hit him, but one look at Knuckles and he would gladly wait to hit him when Knuckles wasn't in sight.

Giotto, ignoring the banter that went on between Lambo and G, looked at Tsuna with pity in his eyes.

" You've suffered so much for one so young."

He brushed back his bangs so he could get a clear look at his face.

"Bambino, wake up."


He could hear them. The voices were getting closer and closer. What if the voices hurt him? He didn't want to get hurt any more. When he was there they would hurt him.

"Bambino..."

When was the last time he was called that? It was so long ago that he forgot. He forgot that he was a child living in an adult's world. He was forced to grow up, to grow up to be ordered around and abused.

"Wake up..."

Why? Why do you want me to wake up? I-I'm just Tsuna. Tsuna who does what he's told. So...

"Please..."

This person was begging, begging me to wake up. Nobody has ever done that. Does this person like me? No. That can't be it... But what if he did? What if the person did care for me?

"Come on bambino..."


"Come on bambino... You have to wake up."

Giotto looked down at Tsuna, realizing just how hurt he was. He held his hand, a sign of comfort for Tsuna and perhaps himself...


I know... It was short... But this chapter was SO hard to write! Anyway, thank you to those who reviewed ;) You see that big shiny button saying review; if you do I'll make the chapters longer...

' I'm always there,

Barely seen,

But when I am,

I capture my prey,

And leave them all,

But when they call,

I will be there...'
