While finishing off those oneshots I need to make, I ought to try out with actual drabbles just to sort ideas out (and, if ever, might use these 'rejected' ideas for the next oneshots/stories) so yeah. Mainly focused on the KHR universe and the genre varies so yeah, not all of them are about lovey-dovey stuff (some are friendship, some are fluff, and some are.... others). Haha, unfortunately, I'm the one who controls this (unless I got those 'reader's vote' via PM/Review or something) so yeah, go shoot. Also, the titles, like the titles of my oneshot, are based on the titles of the songs (that I have been listening for the last 4 years of my life or more) and not all of them that I will use are anime/game songs... some might even be an oldies and a bit tidbits about them later on but that's aside the point.

Since this came from Quizilla, I am mostly going to cut/paste the whole thing, but with slight changes like the spelling and some stuff. Also, it is possible that if the Quizilla one is updated, surely this one is also updated, but that depends on me.

This one's to start it all. Wish me luck, yo! *nods* In commemoration of chapter 240 of KHR! *nosebleeds*

=Pre-Parade=

"Love is something that's bittersweet
Simple and clear yet complex and strange stuff
I'm only worrying about things that don't matter
How does it feel? It feels like that
You're gentle and sincere yet eccentric
I pretend to be strong all over and compete against you
Just by being honest, it's so stimulating and I feel dizzy
I get hurt, I hurt you, in a preparation of pure feelings"

"Artemis!"

Looking at the older male whom had called her, the blonde-haired female blinked as she placed her spectacles onto her head, hands still holding a gadget-of-some-sort.

"Yes, Professor Verde?"

"I'll be going on a trip with the rest of my.... colleagues... and I won't be back for a while. Mind taking care of some stuff here while I'm away?"

A sigh obviously escaped the female's face (it is noted that the said male, Verde, is older than this said female, Artemis) as she nodded towards the green-haired professor before placing the said items she was holding on one table. Obviously, the female thought, scratching her head with her hand while the other was placed onto the table, he doesn't much do cleaning these days. "Is it about that experiment of yours?" Artemis inquired, but more so she added, "And is Mister Reborn coming?" She immediately threw a crumple of paper towards Verde when she noticed the professor smile at her mentioning his name while she hissed "And don't make any lewd ideas about us, w-we're not really THAT close!" My, quite defensive, yet so obvious from the blush!

"Hissy as always, isn't it Artemis?" Verde joked, patting the younger scientist in the head. "But yes, unfortunate but he is going as well, I'm afraid." Another whack in the head from the blonde-haired scientist. "Ow! Do you always have to do that? Gee, now you know why I don't hire female scientists." Another whack coming from the female once more, only stronger than the previous ones.

"Say it again and I'll make sure you won't even come to that 'expedition', professor."

The news of the sudden 'disappearance' of the seven somehow devastated the young scientist, but that didn't falter her from fulfilling her duties to continue where Verde had led off. In reality, despite the fact that he was older than her (and the fact that he has a 'daughter', last she heard from the fellow scientists though still unsure), he had treated her not like the professor-subordinate relationship but more of a friend-sibling one in which, from time to time, she would try to straighten the green-haired professor when he's teasing her about the fact that she had an infatuation with Reborn.

Unfortunately, said infatuation would be about her bantering about him being 'snooty and arrogant' while he would calmly reply back that she was 'childish'. When the Verde she knew returned, and in a form of a baby, and after finding out that the seven of them had become what they would soon know as the 'Acrobaleno', the young scientist loose no chance to create something that will, at least, return them to their normal form. Of course, at first, Verde was against it, but a little while and he was supporting his female scientist with the work. Besides, he could tell that she cannot gut it in liking someone who is a kid, Artemis is a very analytical-minded person and all.

"So... you're Wanya?"

"Chuu~!"

Small, messy blonde hair, slate-gray eyes, wearing a some-kind of a witch's clothing (with a witch's hat of course), Tsuna couldn't help it but wonder why all the misfortune had befall unto him... or, at least... this little kid in a witch's clothing (and with a broom) had somehow landed onto his head, asking him in a direct manner if he could show her around as if she had know him. He could have swore more and more of this weirdness could be the death of him someday (if not by heart attack) but Sawada Tsunayoshi ended up actually walking around Namimori, with the said kid sitting on his head like she's a cute little doll or something, and started talking. And, yes, he noticed that she talked a bit like an adult, if not a smarty one.

"And you said you came here looking for someone?" The brunette asked as she nodded.

"Yep!" She replied in a squeaky tone, flailing the broom on her hand on the side. "I need his help, gotta finish that invention I'm making and that old coop doesn't seem to do any better." My, that was harsh, Tsuna thought, who raised her to be like this?

Or, maybe...

"Wanya, can I ask a question?" Silence means yes, as Tsuna noticed from their short conversation before. "Do you know Reborn?" He could tell from her silence that she DID know the young mafioso.

"He's a total jerkface."

Yep, he's definitely going to die young at this rate, the doe-eyed teenager thought as he notice her jumped off from his head and landed onto the pavement. "Well, this is my stop, I'll be around." She squealed, waving her broom as if she was bidding goodbye. "If I get lost or anything... or just went hungry, I'll come looking for you ok?" Without further ado, she tipped her witch's hat and bobbed as if she was bowing before turning around. "Bye Tuna Fish!!" Wait, did she just call me... Tuna Fish?

"She seems to be promising."

"HIIII~! R-Reborn!!"

The said baby smiled, standing beside the lad as he eyed at the corner where the little one took a while ago. "Let her join in your family, Dame-Tsuna, she could be useful in the future." He didn't even said anything else as Reborn turned around and walked to the other direction, leaving Tsuna baffled and completely crazy beyond reason... well, to himself, that is.

"That was a nice comment from you," Reborn said out of nowhere (or so it seems) as he looked up towards the tree and noticed the said kid from a while ago that was actually sitting in it as if he was expecting her to do so. "Same as always, right?"

"Hmp~!" The witch-looking kid huffed. "You really are anyway!"

"Nice to see you again then... Artemis."

I don't much know how Verde actually act like, so I presume him to be a mix between Dr. Shamal and Dr. Ichihara from Angelic Layers.... or maybe that's just me. Anyway, yeah, you can't blame me. And as for the 'Daughter' part... oh, you just have to wait about it since I shall post it in here soon. XD Patience!

Haha, not love-love yet, but who knows!

And as of the song... 'Pre-Parade' by Rie Kugimiya from the anime "Toradora!". Haha... yeah... Crazy, but I like it. Don't worry, there's a more 'deeper' song for this one would be in effect... (I should try making shorter ones next time. *shoots*) so yeah. I don't own Reborn, the characters, and the song. I only own my own characters (You'll know who the are) so now I'll shut up and continue with my next ploy.

*nosebleed and dies*
