P/S : THIS SYMBOL (/) INDICATE SCENE CHANGE.

Iemitsu threw Tsuna's bloody form inside the room he prepared for Tsuna. Rather than a room, it best describe it is one of the trash pit. Basil looking at Tsuna's bloody form can only diverts his eyes. He couldn't stand to watch the six year old boy's suffer anymore. He himself trying to slow talk with Iemitsu but the result he get was starving for a whole week.

"Iemitsu-sama, Nono wished to see you at HQ," said Oregano, silently communicating with Basil eye-to-eye.

Iemitsu take down his coat because walk toward the entrance door accompanied by Oregano. Basil, knowing that Iemitsu has already moves out from the house, he quickly grabs the emergency kit and sit beside Tsuna. He looks at Tsuna's up and down chest. He even asks himself how could this small boy take up the beating and still come out of it alive. He slowly wipes the blood staining Tsuna's body, at the same trying to wipe his own tears. The old injuries didn't even heal yet, but Iemitsu add a new one. This boy is already on the verge of breaking down.

"Why are you still holding on, Tsuna? Why you still holding on and take the pain," Basil slowly apply antiseptic to the boy's injuries. He startled when Tsuna weakly touch his hand before slowly rubbing his tremble hand.

"I'm holding on because of Papa. He needs me and I must stay. I need to help him. He has nobody else. If I go, he will be left alone by himself. Being left alone is scary. I don't want Papa to feel like that. I want to share Papa's pain. I want Papa to know that at least someone always here for him," whispers Tsuna before he passed out.

Basil biting his lips hard, trying holding the sadness well up in his heart. Eventhough he been beaten by Iemitsu every day and night, the love Tsuna feel toward his father still a pure one. He hope Tsuna wouldn't lose the pure love from his big heart.

Iemitsu roughly rummaging his hair, feeling frustrated. He thought his meeting with Nono is to discuss about work but no, it was to discuss about Tsuna and his relationship.

"He is a killer, Nono!!! He killed Nana!!" shouts Iemitsu loudly. Nono is currently calming down his guardians who snap because of Iemitsu's harsh tone. Nono understand Iemitsu's unstable state.

"That child is not the one to blame, Iemitsu," advice Nono.

"But..."

"He's carry your blood, Iemitsu. He is your child, your son, your own flesh and blood. That child loses his mother. Imagine the pain he feel, Iemitsu. His mother was killed right in front of him. He needs you the most, Iemitsu. You're his father, his protector. Why are you put all the blame to him? He is just a child. He needs his parent console," Nono slowly advice Iemitsu, to make him see what he had done wrong.

Iemitsu stood up abruptly. He turns his heel and didn't even look back at Nono. But before he exits the room, he glanced at Nono while mouthing something that only Nono was able to catch it.

"What did he said?" ask Coyote to his fellow friends.

"He said 'That child is a cursed child. A misfortune one Nana and I get. I will get rid of him myself,'" said Nono in serious tone.

"What did you said?" asks Iemitsu once again in harsh tone. He is currently sitting in front of a doctor in one of Italy's hospital. The doctor only sighs showing his frustration.
