CHAPTER 1

There won't be any thoughtless guesses from the way the scenery looks. It was an obvious answer on plain sight; velvety gold and white fabrics streamed through both sides on the walls of a wide hallway as if swimming in transparent water, medium-sized pedestals festooned with a variety of flowers were positioned to all corners to add color to the room, groups of round tables have been varnished with fine snowy linen with classic cutlery and glassware set onto it with an equal amount of 5 chairs being arranged around, well-balanced lighting supported by a grand chandelier suspended on the high ceiling lit up the room giving more spotlight at the center as people of high standards swathed in plush clothing enter from the door non-stop as they settle down awaiting for the event to start. It was a special day - someone was getting married.

Though the waiters, waitresses and hired entertainers did all they can to keep the guests busy for the meantime, a large number of them are much more thrilled in meeting the main celebrants: Sawada Tsunayoshi and Sasagawa Kyoko.

"Hahi! The cake hasn't arrived yet!" Haru panicked while she reviewed over the list taking note of every single detail of the arrangements. She scrambled through her bag making a quick dial contacting the bakeshop in charge for the wedding cake. I-pin and Lambo were assisting in adding finishing touches to the tables placing centerpieces, wine bottles and table napkins while Fuuta and Bianchi guided the newly arriving visitors to their seats. Other family-like allies took the luxury to approach the parents of the soon-to-be-wed couple to give their support.

"Calm down, Haru-nee,", Fuuta assured, " there's still enough time before the wedding starts. Besides, isn't it a little too early for it to be here? You did give them a lot of specifications on what to make it look like. So, it should take them some time."

"No, I can't! This is too important to allow any delays. I'm taking a huge responsibility and there's no way I can let things slip." Haru said after the phone call. "Also," she added, "Tsuna-san told me to do my best!"

"Actually," interrupted Lambo approaching them along with I-pin, "he said don't overdo it."

"Well if the cake doesn't turn up soon, then you can leave it all to me. I don't mind sharing my talent and recipes to everyone here." Bianchi offered.

The others shivered at the thought of having Vongola's "Poison Scorpion" serve the meals when it was clearly known that it's what she cooks that makes her dangerous earning her that sort of title. No, she'll just end up killing us. Nana walked towards the group with a wide smile fastened on her face that doesn't seem to show any hint of rubbing off anytime soon. "I'm so amazed with the amount of work you all have put up for Tsu-kun and Kyo-chan~ I can't thank you enough. Everything just looks so beautiful~ Thank you so much!"

"That's not all of it, Mama." I-pin said.

"Oh? There's more? I can't wait for it~ I do love surprises. Why don't you have a short break? You kids need to slow down a bit."

"It's fine, Sawada-san." Haru said as she looked at her wrist watch. "We need to make do of the time we still have and make sure that there wouldn't be anything missing. It is their special day after all."

"Awe, how silly of me. I should have known better than to get in your way. Don't stress yourselves, okay? I'll get back to Honey. he seems to have his head full of words thinking on what to say to everyone." Nana said as she left them heading back to Iemitsu, who was literally having trouble with the crowd circling around him giving him cheers and wild pats on the back.

"She looks really happy. I'm happy for her and Tsuna-nii and Kyoko-nee as well" Fuuta commented.

"Well what do you expect? She has been hoping that they'd get married sooner or later." Lambo shoved his hands into his pockets and turned to I-pin, "We better have everything ready, I-pin. Good luck on you guys as well."

Taking one last look at the time with her phone on her hand, Haru replied. "Hai, I'll ask Figaro-san to have me drop by the bakeshop to see if there's any problems. Oh, I wonder what Kyoko-chan looks like in her dress~"

Ryohei was loaded with tears. With an overpowering mass of emotions running through his veins, he just couldn't hold it in. He's going to surrender his beloved, one and only little sister at the altar soon leaving his authority over her to someone else. But as long as he knows that she's with one of his most trustworthy friends, he won't mind. Unlike Kyoko's hyperactive brother, his wife, known as her best friend since middle school and sister-in-law, Hana, she just remained calm and took the chance to smack the Sun Guardian back to his senses. It didn't take long, just a hard pound on the head - not too hard, though - returned him to reality.

Indeed, Kyoko looked stunning. Her orange strands were all neatly tide into a lovely bridal up do with a silver tiara crowned at the center; her wedding gown was designed with a silk chiffon fabric coated with an imperial lace pattern, the dress had a floor length with an A-line silhouette, an elegant strapless sweetheart neckline with which went along with a basque waist that complimented her shape, and what followed in the end was a chapel-length train that occupied nearly half of the room. She stood on a stool in front of a long mirror staring at her own reflection as if she didn't recognize the woman looking back at her. Hana noticed her reaction.

"Kyoko, what's wrong? You don't look entirely happy."

Alarmed by the sudden observation, Kyoko immediately feigned a cheerful laugh and purposely adjusted her long gloves to hide any further signs of her being uncomfortable. "I'm fine, Hana. I just feel really nervous is all."

"You sure?"

Kyoko nodded.

Hana shrugged her shoulders and decided that it was natural to be that way. Even back at her wedding, Ryohei was intensely sweating every time she stepped nearer to the altar and was about to shout out "I'm EXTREMELY nervous!". Luckily, his friends felt the need to calm him down and thus had the expected tragedy subside. It was nearly 3 o'clock, forty minutes before the ceremony starts and there are still sounds of rubber rolling on the dust outside the mansion with guests piling up the Guest list. Hana felt annoyed about it. She knew that Tsuna and Kyoko wanted a private wedding, but their parents seemed to miss that point and invited almost the entire town along with Vongola's allies. She sighed. Oh well. Can't blame them. They are their kids.

A/N: Hey, guys. This is my very first fanfic after 5 years of joining this site. My intro isn't that much exciting since it mostly speaks about describing the atmosphere, but I just wanted to be specific to the whole area so that I might be able to assist you in a small way in imagining what it all looks like. So, please expect more on the upcoming chapters.

You might as well notice Kyoko's strange behavior, well, what can you expect? (='o'=) Your opinions would be fun to know.
