Before Hisoka died, when he was only a child, before his parents knew about his empathy, he shared some festival memories with his father, here are those stories.

It was February 3rd, 1984 and Hisoka was only 4 years old. His father, Nagare, asked him if he wanted to throw beans in the air today.

"Yeah!!" He said loudly with childish enthusiasm as he threw his hands in the air happily.

Nagare let a small smile come to his face. His son was so cute and full of energy, he wondered if his daughter would have been the same way. He pushed the sad thought away; this was going to be a happy memory with his son.

It was the day before Spring and they were to scatter beans through the air for good luck.

Nagare and Hisoka went to the Tsurugaoka Hachiman and threw beans in the air, Hisoka threw them very enthusiastically.

"Yaay! Fly beans, fly!" He smiled as beans flew through the air. "Papa, the beans fly, yes?" He looked to Nagare happily.

"Yes they do." Normally, he would have told his son to call him 'father' as was respectful and proper, but it was a holiday, so it was okay for now.

"Yaay!"

"Yay!" Nagare played along, truly having fun with his son under the sun.

This was forever, a happy memory.

Now, before I write anything else let me say this, I don't live in Japan. This story is based on ideas I had after reading about holidays in Kamakura. Also, I don't YnM or anything else in this story. Just...FYI.

Alright! So, obviously, this is set before Hisoka's empathy really kicked off. He's a little bit empath but he doesn't really understand why sometimes it sounds like people are talking without moving there mouths (although, faintly heard) or why he feels weird when someone's angry or happy.

Also, I love Nagare. I think the two boys would have had a better relationship before he found out about the empathy. But, anywho....

1-The original document said '1987' instead of '1984'. I re-read it and was like -"What? Wouldn't it be '84?" and changed it. Four things could have happened that would cause that error...1)I was sleepy. 2)I was on sugar-high. 3)I wanted him to be 7 years old originally. 4)I thought he was born 1983. I don't know. But it's fixed now so whoo! (I'm on sugar-high, can you tell?)

Enjoy the story everyone!
