Chapter 1: Hot Springs are nice, ne?

Haru beamed up at the sight of natural hot springs. "Haru is happy desu!" She giddily soaked herself in the relaxing water.

"Hot springs are really nice, aren't they?" Kyoko smiled happily as she also entered the hot springs.

A floating Bianchi appeared. "It sure is nice."

"Ipin likes it too!" the gyoza fist user added as she floats by them too.

"It's more fun with everyone desu!" Haru squealed.

Then on the other side of the hot springs…

The guys all relaxed away in the water. Tsuna being the happiest to get a rest once in a while even though it only lasts in a few minute or so.

"Lambo-san is going to have a blast in the pool!" the cow boy exclaimed happily as he cannon balled into the relaxing atmosphere.

"Hey Lambo! This is not a pool," chastised Tsuna.

"Aho-shi! Stop disturbing around Jyuudaime!" cried Gokudera as he threw the 8 years old Lambo away.

"Gotta… stay…" landing on the soft ground near the entrance to the men side of the spring, Lambo trembled then broke out in tears. "Calm!"

"Jyuudaime! I got rid of the stupid cow so you can continue resting!" said the ever so loyal Gokudera as he rushed back near Tsuna on his right.

"Ne ne," Lambo stopped crying as he suddenly got an idea. "Lambo-san will going join the girls bath instead. Tako-head is being mean to Lambo-san."

"Tch, do whatever you wish stupid cow," Gokudera turned his head to the other direction uncaringly.

"Lambo, you're already 8, you can't join the girls bath like you used to anymore," Yamamoto added.

"Eh… what are you implying, Lambo-san doesn't want to peep on the girls bath!" he grimaced. "Ne ne, which one of the girls," Lambo started, pointing backwards at the tall bamboo fencing separating the two gendered baths, "do you guys want to peep at?"

The boys all, shocked, widened their eyes and almost lose their composure in the water.

"What the hell are you asking, Aho-shi?!" Gokudera snapped with a fist prepared.

A floatie passed by with a Reborn sleeping on it. Half of his body wrapped in towel. "That's an interesting question Lambo made, you guys are already old enough, what do you think?"

Gokudera twitched his eyebrows at the fact that Reborn was agreeing with the stupid cow.

"Maa, I would never lay eyes on a girl in that situation intentionally without her permission but… well, if you ask me something like what kind of girl I like, then it's a different situation. This question is just inappropriate." Yamamoto reasoned in his calm tone and scratched his cheek with his point finger.

"Then okay, question changed, what type of girls do you like?"

"Reborn! Stop taking credits for what I say!" Lambo yelled and targeted Reborn with his bazooka, which Reborn returned a grenade with. The poor cow was blasted away.

Tsuna looked up at the clear sky. "Well, I like a smile with a nice girl." He said out loud as he was lost in his thoughts about his Kyoko-chan.

Reborn gave him a big smack. "Dame-Tsuna you're really no good. You can't even say it correctly."

"Eh? What did I say wrong?" a clueless Tsuna looked around for a hint.

"Maa maa, he got his point out," the baseball fanatic chimed in. "We know you like Sasagawa's sister for a long time already now Tsuna."

"If it's Jyuudaime, you'll definitely be great!" Gokudera cheered on for his beloved tenth as usual.

"Yamamoto, what about you?" Reborn, already in the water with the boys, asked.

He gave it a thought for a while then started, "I like a girl who is not shy to get what she wants." He took another second to put it into words. "I don't know how to say it, but the type of girl that's worth chasing for."

The Arcobaleno smiled in a knowing manner.

"Huh? That's it? You really are dense, baseball nuts." Gokudera mocked. "Girls are just loud and troublesome." He added with a particular someone in mind about that statement.

"What about you Gokudera-kun?"

When his Jyuudaime asked, Gokudera reluctantly answered. "For me, I want a girl that's not too smart and not stupid at all. And not the typical run of the mill girl. That's too boring. A girl should have some spice!"

"For someone who said they didn't give it a lot of thought… that's a little too…" Tsuna sweat dropped.

"You have a lot of high expectations in a girl. I will be looking forward to meeting her," said Reborn.

"Of course! As expected of the right hand man of Jyuudaime!" Gokudera added enthusiastically.

"Tsuna, you should learn from them and think more about this matter. Also consider about Haru's feelings. She's always trying her best for you." Reborn said from behind Tsuna.

"When did you get here again?" asked Tsuna. Reborn's stealth never ceases to amaze him.

At the girls' side…

The girls were all taking a quiet bath as they relaxed themselves and tried to wash out the troubles of the day.

'Even though Haru tried to help Tsuna-san today he shouted at Haru… but when he also saw Kyoko-chan as a part of the scheme, Tsuna-san's face changed.' The Hahi girl went into deep thought and didn't realize herself for staring at the auburn head for so long.

"Hm? Haru-chan, what's wrong?" she asked in her usual sweet voice.

"Eh eeeh! N-nothing!" flustered, Haru wishes the steam would hide her.

"Haru, just say out what's on your mind if it's troubling you. We're here to have a good time, don't trouble yourself with unwanted thoughts." As if knowing, Bianchi told the brunette.

Haru looked down. "Kyoko-chan, what do you think of Tsuna-san?"

"There, she did it." Bianchi muttered to herself.

"Tsuna-kun?" Kyoko placed a finger on her chin and tried to think about the subject. "I think Tsuna-kun is a very reliable good friend that's always there when you need him."

"Eh? That's it?" Haru asked in bewilderment.

"Do you want to know more? I think Tsuna-kun is a very kind and gentle person. He is definitely different from the other boys of his age."

"Haru agrees with you on this." Feeling much better, Haru smiled.

Since they are already on the topic of love, Bianchi decided to intrude. "Then Kyoko, do you already have someone in mind?"

At this question, Kyoko began to blush. "Bianchi-san!"

"There's no need to be shy, we're all woman here."

"Ipin agrees!" the Chinese girl added as she floats near Haru.

"Well then, actually…" Kyoko began, slightly stuttering on her every word. "There's someone that I like…" she ended and blushed endlessly as she looks down.

"Ah! Who is it?!" excited upon the topic, Haru gushed.

"Haru-chan knows him very well too…" Kyoko said without lifting up her face. "I will tell you when the time comes, okay?" She finally managed to look up and smiled an assuring smile at the brunette.

"Hmm that makes Haru wants to know more…" pouted Haru. "Is it one of the guys in your class? Like Yamamoto-san, Aho-dera, Hibari-san?"

Kyoko just smiled back in return. "Haru-chan be more patient. Aside that fact, I'm really envious of how you are so friendly with Yamamoto-kun, Gokudera-kun, and Tsuna-kun so quickly."

"Huh?" Haru looked at her confusingly.

"You know… Tsuna-kun and I didn't become friends until the volleyball match. Even after that it took a lot of time until we are really close. Even now, I think Tsuna-kun isn't as comfortable to me as when he's around you."

'Baka, this girl doesn't even know he likes her.' Bianchi thought to herself.

Haru began to play with Ipin's hair nervously. 'Kyoko-chan, that's because Tsuna-san cares a lot about you…' her expression saddened.

"Then, there's also Yamamoto-kun and Gokudera-kun… they still call me Sasagawa's sister or Sasagawa even when we've been in the same class since middle school. They're very close with you Haru-chan, even when you attend Midori High." Haru noticed Kyoko's expression to sadden as well. "Maybe I lack skills as a friend."

"Hahi!" exclaimed the brunette as she stopped what she's doing and rushed near Kyoko. "That's not true desu! Kyoko-chan is the best friend Haru can never find! In Midori High Haru doesn't have lots of friends. Only in Namimori High Haru could find these amazing friends. So please don't think you lack skills as a friend Kyoko-chan because you are Haru's best friend desu!"

"Haru-chan, thank you." And the two friends enveloped in a hug.

-x-

"The reason you like Kyoko is because she's the only one who smiles at you even when you were no good, right?" Reborn started. "Then what about Haru that loves you unconditionally when you were also that Dame-Tsuna?"

"I know, she is the first girl to care so much about me…" Tsuna caught himself thinking too deeply about this and snapped at Reborn. "And why am I discussing this with you again?!"

"Because I'm your home tutor." The Arcobaleno simply stated.

Yamamoto came closer to them. "That's right, Tsuna, you should decide faster and let Haru move on."

"Stop pressuring Jyuudaime!" Gokudera growled at the baseball fan.

"I'm just saying for the sake of everyone," Yamamoto coaxed as if trying to push away a mad dog.

Tsuna finally decided. "Let's talk about this matter some other time, okay? I will try my best so everyone is happy."

End of Chapter 1
