Sawada Tsunahime ran through the rain hurriedly with an umbrella on her left hand and a grocery bag on the other hand. The rain was blocking her view but that just encouraged her feet to move even faster. Her face brightened when she finally saw a bridge in distance. She slowed down before climbed down unto the grassland beside the river.

Without a second thought, she went under the bridge and put down her umbrella when she's finally protected from the rain. What she didn't notice at that moment was, a freeze-in-motion red-hair teen behind her, so it's no big surprise that she thought she just saw a 'ghost under the bridge' when she turned around. Fortunately, she bit her lips before she let out an offending shriek or something.

She gasped. "I-I'm sorry, I… I didn't know there's someone else… here," she tried to explain between panic, relief, and pounding heart. It didn't take long before the boy nodded slightly and it was only then that she noticed the little bundle covered beneath his arms, sleeping in content. Her lips formed an 'o', "Ah, that's…"

The boy's eyes widened slightly, for a blink of an eye, before he softly lifted his arms and moved the little being unto the grass. The little one opened his eyes and let out a disappointed meow when he missed the warmth. Tsuna about to coo at the cuteness but didn't get the opportunity when the boy suddenly stood up and about to walk away—into the rain, without an umbrella, with a school uniform. Tsuna mentally sweat-dropped, 'What's wrong with that guy?'

"W-wait!" Tsuna called out before she blushed from her own rudeness. The boy indeed complied and he slowly turned around and faced her. Now that she looked closer, his face was covered with bandages and fresh bruises. That touched a part of her heart, my, my. "I-is there something wrong? I mean… sorry, I didn't mean to intrude or something just now."

"…" the boy looked down at his feet. Tsuna didn't miss the light shrug. "… It's okay. It's about time I get going too."

"Ah…" Tsuna trailed off. Well, she couldn't stop him if he really has to leave now. Then there's a soft meow that distract them both. The small kitten leaned his head unto the boy's leg before sat down and looked up at him. Then another meow. Tsuna involuntarily coo—how adorable!

She saw the smile crept unto the mysterious boy's face before he bent down to his knee, stroking the little kitten's head softly. The kitten obviously enjoying it, letting out a soft purr. Tsuna smiled and stifled a chuckle. It's the first time she saw a boy so gentle to animals and to be truthful, she hoped every boy could be like the one in front of her. The red-head boy just looked like he wouldn't hurt a fly.

"He likes you," Tsuna said, bringing the boy to look at her. His face looked startled, but didn't reject. And to make things better, he seemed to be less tense that seconds ago, which brought her an idea. "I bought some cat food earlier; since I figure he'd be hungry."

The boy's eyes went to the grocery bag on her hand. Tsuna's eyes widened when she heard his soft reply, "You came here often?"

"Y-yeah," she tried to smile. 'That's unexpected,' she said mentally. "I'd go here after school, especially since it's the same direction to my house."

Red eyes widened before it returned normal again. "Namimori Middle School?"

"A-ah, un…" Tsuna sweat dropped. Why in the world is she so awkward? "A-anyway, I usually brought some food for the little kitten there, since there are no fishes in this river."

"Oh…" much to her surprise, he really turned his head towards the river, as if checking if it's true. Or approving her statement, she didn't know. Feeling more awkward and unsure by the moment, she cleared her throat and smile again.

"By the way, did the kitten eat already?" she asked, decided to cut the chase. The boy looked down at the kitten again and shook his head.

"I found him by coincidence… so I didn't bring any food for him."

Tsuna smiled, "Well there's some here. While you're here, why don't we feed him together?" An unsure expression crossed his feature at the proposal. Tsuna quickly added, "The kitten's glued to you already."

Finally, after an eternity, he nodded silently. Tsuna nodded in approval as she approached the two and sat down beside him. When she watched them she couldn't help but feel odd; usually she preferred to be alone than crowds, even more than that, strangers, but this boy didn't make her feel that way. She scoffed before searching for whatever's inside the bag.

So for the next fifteen minutes, all they do was watching the kitten drink and ate its meal before he finally slept on Tsuna's laps. And by then, she's already too caught up with the sweetness in the adorable little creature to remember the fact that he's with a complete stranger. Yes, one that even she hasn't known the name.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself have I?" she laughed at her own silliness. "I'm Tsuna. My name's supposed to be longer than that but I preferred to be called simply 'Tsuna'."

The boy miraculously smiled, which really struck her for a second. "I'm-"

growl…

Both teens instantly turned red. Instinctively, they avoided their eyes from each other; both either looked the other way or suddenly admire the green grass beneath them. It seemed that they both were hungrier than they last notice. 'That's so embarrassing…!' she bit her lips before peeking from the corner of her eyes and saw the similar red on his face, 'Well at least I'm not the only one.'

"I-I guess this little guy's not the only one who's hungry huh? Haha…" Tsuna tried to make the awkward moment into a funny one. Unfortunately… it's still an awkward moment for the next ten seconds.

Then he stood up.

"I guess it's time to go back," he said. Tsuna didn't realize the disappointment on her face.

"Ooh… yeah… let's," she agreed half-heartedly as she joined him standing, the little kitten still on her arms. Her lips twitched when the little bundle snuggled into her chest. He's too cute—she can't possibly abandon him here in the cold, noisy night! When she about to ask for his suggestion, she caught his expression similar to worry—not unlike hers that meant!

"I have a jacket," he said, pulling the one he wore at the moment. Tsuna sweat dropped, 'So I see.'

The she realized. "But what about you? You're gonna get soaked."

"… I'm used to it," he answered flatly, as if it's the most normal thing on the human history. That brought more sympathy.

"I have an umbrella," she tilted her head to the thing nearby. "We both could fit under it."

"… I don't want to be a burden," he said in the same flat tone. They both looked blankly at the other. Her eyebrows furrowed which was not befitting with the flat look she has right now.

"We both could fit under it." She stressed the sentence with a tone that dared him to say otherwise.

To no surprises, the boy gulped softly and instantly looked nervous.

"My house is on the opposite direction," he finally said. But what greeted him wasn't a scold nor an anger-release as he expected, but rather a smile.

"Well, what do you propose?"

So the both did get under the umbrella together, plus the kitchen, and ran straight to Tsuna's house. Some parts of their clothes were wet from the rain but it's no real biggie since she has a change of clothes. The problem was with the boy—who wouldn't possibly wear girl clothes no matter how tomboyish it looked. Her wardrobe was pretty much filled with shirts and baggy pants but it's a normal politeness for him to refuse the offer.

He's a boy who coincidentally met the girl because of a little kitten, and went to her house because it's raining. No particular reason, yep.

So, with his stubborn refusal, all she could help him with was hot chocolate milk. He's alone in her room and was grateful for the fact he didn't find any… girly stuff. The only girly stuff in the room was a doll by her pillow but that's it. The room's simple and clean, with a small table, desk, TV, bed, a wardrobe, and a window. Still, he didn't feel extremely comfortable with the situation he's in, especially after an infant stared at him strangely and intensely. He felt the eyes on his back until he closed the door behind him.

That's when she returned.

"Ah, sorry I took so long," she said as she walked toward the small table in the center of the room. His respond was a simple nod. A growing apprehensive built up inside his chest as approach him closer, closer…

Then something touched his cheek. Or rather, the familiar feeling felt like… band-aid?

"There, much better," she announced. The boy looked dumbstruck at what she just did but nodded gratefully. It did felt less painful than seconds ago.

"Thank you…"

Tsuna nodded in reply before picking up another band-aid and stick it to another spot on his left cheek. "Honestly, who'd do such a terrible thing?" She protested openly but he just stayed silent. When she retreated, a smile was on her face. "But don't worry, there's Hibari-san in Namimori town, so there should be, err, less bullies around."

"Tsu-chan, dinner's ready!" a muffled call reached their ears. Tsuna shout out another reply before she looked at the boy.

"You're staying for dinner right? Mom has made a big helping for you."

"Ah, but-" he tried to avoid the serious-looking brown orbs upon him. "But my friends don't know if I'll be coming home late."

"Then you can call them," Tsuna replied.

"But I left my phone at my house."

"There's a phone downstairs," Tsuna said, not giving any room for him to protest a word. "You can use that. Don't mind about it."

He inhaled deeply before finally gave in and they both went downstairs. With reluctance, he sighed and pressed the numbers. After a few seconds there's a sound click. "Adel."

"Enma!" The sound from the other line exclaimed. "Just where have you been? You shouldn't be out in weather like this or you'll get cold on your first day tomorrow at Namimori Middle School."

"I know, I'm sorry Adel," Enma said before he paused. "… Adel, I think I'll be coming home a little bit late. Is that okay?"

"… Well okay, as long as you don't get sick," Enma nodded before they shared a few more words and hung up. The red-hair stared at the phone in front of him and wondered if this was alright. He then walked to the kitchen where he heard loud ruckus from inside. When he took a peek inside, he was amazed at the sight; the baby earlier in suit and fedora, a foreign woman, two children that was fighting over food, a boy who was talking about rankings, a woman who was cooking, and Tsuna herself, arguing with the baby with the suit.

Tsuna, noticing his presence, brightened up. "Ah, you're done with the phone?"

"U-un… thank you," he nodded, still distracted. The infant observed him more than just mere meticulously.

"Hn, I thought you're not sociable Dame-Tsuna; guess there's one worse than you in this world after all," Reborn said as he casually slurped his tea which earned Tsuna to gasp.

"R-Reborn, that's rude!" Tsuna said, forgetting to comment about the part she just being indirectly claimed as someone-super-extremely-unsociable-on-earth. The boy looked startled when she suddenly looked at his direction again. "You know that's not true! And besides-…!" she paused abruptly. "Umm…"

"What, Dame-Tsuna? If you got no argument then don't even try."

Tsuna pouted and huffed. "That's not it Reborn! I, umm…" she blushed, suddenly. Her voice strangely turned into one so small and soft. "W-what's your last name again?"

"… Kozato."

Tsuna nodded. Then back to Reborn again. "Kozato-kun is the first boy I ever seen so kind with animals. That proved him to be a good guy right?"

Reborn smirked, already knowing her weakness this time. Just now she got absolutely clueless when about to mention his name, not to mention the absentminded look on the boy's face for a brief moment… "Hn, you got no rights to say that when you haven't even introduced yourselves properly."

"We did- AH!" a new tint of red colored her face after a split second when she remembered the reason he's here in the first place. That's right; they're hungry and he hasn't got the chance to finish mentioning his name after they're interrupted—and she never even once remembered to ask for his name again! This was just… unbelievable. She made a perfect bow after ages of awkward silence. "I'm sorry."

What nobody expected —especially Tsuna— was a stifled laugh from the boy with the last name 'Kozato'. Tsuna quickly decided that a smile fit his face much better when one formed on his lips. "It's okay."

"Now, now, sit down Kozato-kun, dinner's ready!" a woman with short brown hair said as she put a big pot unto the table, with smoking comes puffing from it. Tsuna, still a bit reddish, nodded and smiled.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, after forty minutes of utter chaos—with the cow-child suddenly throw some tantrums when he found 'something awesome' in his food, and the women try to stop him, while Reborn just add the chaos— the two teenagers found themselves alone in the room, having no clue on what to do next. I mean, she couldn't possibly leave a guest all alone right?

Strange, but the earlier event has touched something inside her chest.

"I never got your full name," Tsuna said, pausing from her meal. The boy also paused and looked up from his food.

"… Kozato Enma."

Tsuna grinned. "Sawada Tsunahime—now we're formally introduced."

Enma nodded and mentally mused at the fact that he just called a girl by her first name. Without another word uttered, they both continue their meal. Tsuna was still glad that she finally got to know his name, while Enma suddenly felt all warm and relieved—it's the first time he has a bond with someone to call as 'friend'.

The next day…

Tsuna run hurriedly while tidied up her skirt that she always thought was too short. The fact that she preferred to wear pants rather than skirts didn't help at all. She glanced at her watch and became even more panic than before. 'HIII! I'm gonna be late for school!'

As Tsuna thought of that, she noticed a figure with red hair on the street, collecting things around him. She slowed her pace and as she approached the figure, she could recognize the figure clearly. "Kozato-kun!"

"Sawada-san," Enma looked up, pausing from his work.

"I told you 'Tsuna' is fine," Tsuna huffed. "That aside, what are you doing? You're gonna be late for school,"

"It's fine… Tsuna-san, you go ahead," Enma said, resuming his work also. Tsuna stood still for a short while, before she bent down and started to collect the things scattered around.

"You don't need to be so formal with me. And no way I'm going to leave you here," Tsuna said.

"But school… you're going to be late," Enma said, trying to persuade her to change her mind.

"Don't think about it; we're going to school together and after all I've been late anyway," Tsuna said, assuring Enma with a smile. Enma blushed slightly before he nodded and they both continued their work in silence. As soon as they finished, they quickly rushed to school and luckily they make it to class without falling again. But still, they couldn't evade their fate of being late.

"Geez late for your first day of school?" The homeroom teacher said to both of them who just entered the class, panting. "Well whatever, hurry to your seat."

Tsuna sighed while Enma only stared at her in silence as they walked to their seats. The day went on just like their usual "dame" life and just by the end of the day, they earned an infamous nickname; the "Dame-duo".

Then shocking news came to her when Reborn announced that Enma and the whole Shimon Family is part of the mafia world. Tsuna could understand if that girl called Adelheid is one but she never expected Enma to be one of the mafia; though she couldn't say the same thing about herself either. She, however, glad to accept the news, especially she felt like she has a friend that truly understands what she actually feels being in the mafia.

Perhaps that's why she decided to ask him on one of the big question that haunted her.

"You're asking me… whether you should be the boss or not?" Enma asked to Tsuna who sat at the opposite of him. Tsuna nodded and diverted her stare to her hands that were clutching her own pants tightly and nervously.

"I… you should've known it too Kozato-kun, that I'm not at all the right person to be the boss," Tsuna said, not looking at Enma. "But everyone has been expecting that from me… but I should've known best myself that I can't be the boss!"

"Why do you ask me this?" Enma asked. Tsuna, hearing the question, finally looked up and met Enme's gaze once again.

"Because I think that you would understand how I feel… all this time, everyone just thinks the other way around than what I feel," Tsuna smiled nervously. "No one… ever said that I should refuse the job."

"You should be happy that everyone treated you with such respect and expectation," Enma said sternly and Tsuna noticed the expression and emotions in his eyes changed. "We, Shimon Family, have been treated like trash because we're small and weak family. It's been like that since ages."

"…" she chewed on her lips. "… I'm sorry."

"…!" Enma noticed the sad look on her face and suddenly he felt in the wrong time and place. He didn't mean to sadden her, but it's too late to apologize… right?

"It's just the same as bullies," Enma's head perked up. "They always take advantage of the weak, thinking they're superior and have the right while the victim could only hold it in and stay silent…" she trailed off, looking down at the table, and Enma began to suspect if she's in the same position of him at school. "I would never be able to understand how far your pain is, but… at least I know how it feels to be pinched down to the ground by the whole world."

"…" Enma's eyes furrowed. Why is he feeling guilty and… a sense of camaraderie? Although she's a Vongola…? "Why don't you run away?"

"Eh?"

"You have ways to escape this fate. Why don't you just leave this world behind?" Enma asked. Her brown orbs lit up.

"Hmm… maybe it's because…" she smiled. "There's always something… that I don't want to leave behind."

"… Something you don't want leave behind…?"

"Yeah; I don't want to leave my friends and allies behind… maybe. That's all I've been grateful of since the mafia entered my life," she smiled and chuckled softly, which could be a sign to a good memory. "I know that my friends would believe in me and will never leave me, but still… it's like, I don't know, not right? There's something don't sync there."

"Allies…"

"Yup, the pain's worth for everything. If only I was normal, with my normal life, then I'd never met people… that would sacrifice their lives for me—and I'd sacrificed mine for them," she said, half musing to herself. "Doesn't that make you feel lucky instead?"

Enma's eyes widened… before a mysterious emotion flared in them. "What if… you need to sacrifice someone? Leave them behind for the sake of 'greater good'?"

Tsuna noticed the change of expression and tone but didn't question him. Besides, he'd really want her answer only. Her fingers played and tangled with one another. "… I wouldn't. If anything, I was prepared to be the sacrifice. But even if I can't… I wouldn't. I wouldn't… I couldn't."

She bit her lips hard, after muttering the two words as if it's a chant. Suddenly Enma felt sympathy and weariness. Now his resolve was scattered and blurred. He knew she would never leave anyone behind. In fact, that could be her dilemma of being the boss. She's not lying—she's not going to abandon anyone. Unlike a certain boss hundred years ago. Unlike the event that triggered their revenge.

Maybe he and his family have been wrong after all…

"Nee, Tsuna-chan," he said, with a less tense smile. She perked her head up, ready for almost anything he'd say. "… Can you call me 'Enma' instead of 'Kozato'? I don't really think I'd fit formalities."

Tsuna blinked. Then blushed. Then smiled and nodded slowly.

Just about Tsuna opened her mouth to reply, the door flew open and Nana Sawada, Tsuna's mother entered the room. "Dinner's ready~! I've been thinking what you guys are doing to not hear my calls."

"E-eh? You called us?" Tsuna's eyes widened in disbelief and surprise as her mother nodded. Plus, she's not yet recovered by the sudden halt of the sweet moment.

"Anyway, just thought to fetch you since dinner's tastier when still hot," she said finally, before resumed humming and went downstairs. Tsuna mentally protested on the interruption when the feeling's just right, but then again it's even odder that neither of them heard her mother's calls just now. Surely one of them should've noticed…

"Tsuna-chan?"

Tsuna tried to smile. "L-let's go downstairs… Enma-kun."

Enma nodded, with a small smile, as they both make their way to the kitchen. As they walked, Tsuna couldn't help but smile as she watched the boy in front of him. 'Enma…' she thought and mentally chuckled. Calling a boy's first name so 'formally' felt strange and good at the same time.

Enma lay with uneasy feeling as he stared at the ceiling at his room. He finally tell Tsuna to do what she feel right, but in truth, he didn't want her to be the mafia boss; especially the Vongola who his family was now intended to destroy. Enma really wavered on this plan on destroying the Vongola which meant he will also fight Tsuna who now he also cared.

Of course, the main culprit behind the big plan saw Enma's wavering as a bad sign to his goal. Daemon Spade, in Julie's body, decided to light that raging flame inside Enma to make sure his plan succeeded. He met Enma afterschool where he arranged only him and Enma at home and progressed with what he planned.

"Weren't you going to Tsuna-chan's place again~?" Julie asked in a sing-song tone.

"Today she's having homework with her friends," Enma replied before he looked around the room. "Adel and the others also not here…"

"Hmph, I'm sure they must be doing boring things right now," Julie replied. "That aside, Enma… until now you didn't know who's the killer of your family right?"

"… What are you saying Julie?" Enma asked with uneasy tone. Julie grinned, seeing the reaction he expected.

"Well that's because Adel and the others tried to hide that from you, but you should know the truth…" Julie paused and an evil grin emerges on his face. "If you wanted to befriend with the daughter of the murderer."

"!" Enma's eyes widen and in the next instant he stood up so fast which make the chair he sat fell. "What do you mean Julie! If you say such irresponsible things like that again, I will-"

"Hey, hey. I'm not lying. The murderer of your family is none other than… him right?" Julie asked as he pulled out a photo from his jacket and showed it to Enma. "Sawada… Iemitsu."

"No… way… that's-!" Enma tried to argue but stopped when Julie cut in.

"It's the truth; why would I lie?" Julie grinned like he used to. Enma diverted his gaze to the photo of the blonde man for a while before he shut his eyes and clenched his fists. His heart was hot and trembling and so does his body. He knew that Julie's not lying; he still could remember the blonde man in his memory. But on the same time, Enma didn't want to accept that; the thing that Tsuna is his daughter.

Enma snapped open his eyes with a gasp when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Well, we're doing this mission for the revival of the Shimon," Julie said. "But if you stopped the mission and believe the murderer's daughter, then we'll go with it. But remember; we're doing the mission for revenge of our family too."

Enma's breath hitched as Julie let go of his hand on Enma's shoulder and went outside, leaving Enma alone in the silent room. Enma bit his lip and clenched his fist as hard as he could. He felt like wanting to shout and stop the time and everything. He then glanced at the photo of Sawada Iemitsu again and could hear a voice of his past echoed in his heart.

"Enma-nii-chan…" The sweet voice called out for him. Enma shut his eyes and made up his mind. He's going to do it.

The next thing happened all flashed in a brief. Yamamoto was hospitalized and the Inheritance Ceremony came. Enma and his family face-off with Tsuna and her family, which the Shimon easily overwhelmed them. Enma's heart was filled with fake rage that he filled himself; trying to run away from the feeling of stopping all this and resume his normal days with Tsuna and his family.

Tsuna herself, once again felt like she knew nothing of Enma. She never expected that Enma would attack Yamamoto and her family, she never could imagine that happening but yet it did! She felt angry for what they did to Yamamoto and Chrome, but she couldn't help but felt that rising feeling of spending time with Enma and the others rose in her heart. These feelings were the one that fueled her flame when upgrading the Vongola gears.

Then Ninth decided that she and her family will confront Enma and his family. The rules given were unforgiving and cruel but they have to go with it regardless their opinion about it. Every battle added another scar and cluelessness as she felt that the path she took was the one that she shouldn't. But among all that has hurt her, the biggest one was when Enma confront her and demanded that her father killed his family.

When Tsuna heard that, she couldn't forgive herself although she didn't know if it's the truth. She felt like she was the one at fault and she really should give up everything. But when Hibari and Yamamoto showed up, she resolved herself that she would believe in her father— and in Enma. Her faith was finally tested when she face Enma once and for all.

When Tsuna's group saw Enma, they couldn't believe that it was him. But in Tsuna's eyes, she could feel like she was about to cry for him instead of fear him. She wanted to save him from all his suffering. When she fired her attack and saw Enma was saved, she felt like she was the one who was saved from the darkest pit in her life when she saw him returned to normal.

The final battle against Daemon Spade was one that she couldn't forget. From all those suffering, anguish, betrayal, and disappointment, there's hope, love, and faith that grew and bind all of them. She was more than happy to finally let Daemon rest from his run-away with Elena's feelings with him. She was also over-glad when she saw her family and the Shimon smiled together, declaring victory over the past.

Tsuna's gaze meet Enma's once again. They both smiled before they laugh together, along with the others. This should end it, right?

A week later…

Enma stood still in front of Tsuna's room as his mind wondered if he should just leave any time now. He wanted to apologize for the misunderstandings he have, for not trusting her, and for hurting her. Those thoughts haunted him for days that he couldn't feel relaxed like he should be. But on the same time, he's not sure if he's ready to face her reaction. He couldn't even imagine one.

The teen inhaled deeply before he reached out his hand to the knob and about to turn it when suddenly the door was opened from the inside, revealing a girl with brown hair and caramel eyes that looked surprised before happiness replaced those emotions just as sudden.

"Enma-kun!" she exclaimed. No offense in her tone—so far so good.

"T-Tsuna-chan… I'm… I'm sor-" Enma's words was cut, well, more like he's ignored since the start when Tsuna pulled his hand. Being absolutely clueless, he let her lead him to the room and to one of the corner where he noticed a small box of carton. She halted in her steps and just for a split second, he felt her grip around his tightened. Tsuna smiled, putting her finger by her lips, telling him to be silent. Enma nodded, confused on what she's doing.

Tsuna then let go of Enma's hand and bent down, opening the lid of the box slowly and carefully. Enma also bent down slightly to see a better look. His eyes widen when he saw two kittens in the box, sleeping soundly, wrapping each other with warmth. And again, just like the first time they met each other, all things were forgotten to the two cute creatures.

They both stared at the kittens for a while before Tsuna turned her head to him. "I found her near the bridge yesterday. It's nice to see that they're not alone right now and they have each other," Tsuna said to him in a soft whisper before she smiled warmly. "Isn't that nice?"

Enma's eyes still wide before he smiled and nodded. Not alone…

"Tsuna-chan…"

Carefully and gently, he took one of Tsuna's hands as they both straightened up. Both stared at each other straight into the eyes in silence and saw that similar warmth and care in each ones. Something was lit as they both slowly leaned closer to each other, closing the distance before their lips meet softly. Keeping their supposedly first kiss for some sweet moments, they break away with deep blush on their cheeks.

Enma was the one who got into panic mode first as he about to stammer another apology. Tsuna, however, only touched her lips barely before a smile formed on them. A light giggle was more than enough to freeze him. Honestly he saw nothing, absolutely nothing, laughable at the moment. But then when she leaned forward and kissed his cheek, he really has no second thoughts about why. The next moment, he found her small arms around him.

"I love you, Enma-kun," she whispered, sending Enma's face into the color of deep red. She's not joking… is she? This almost felt like soap opera and even more, every time Julie flirt with a girl. Red eyes went down to the girl and it showed not surprise, but rather gratefulness and… the equal depth as her words.

He knew that his longing and care for her wasn't just a friend or best-friend limit anymore. That day when she saved him, that time when their flames become one, that moment when they both smiled changed his emotions forever. It was only a thing called miracle that he's here—with her, together. He slowly wrapped his arm around her, as if protecting something so precious and fragile.

"I love you too, Tsuna," Enma whispered with the deepest blush he ever have. Tsuna smiled as she leaned more to Enma.

This was the new bright future prepared for them.

A/N: Hmm… only some edits. Okay, major edit on the first scene when they meet and when they talk alone, but other than that nothing much… Wait—those two were the only big romantic scenes there is! Oh, err, okay. Anyway, what do you think of this edit? Spot some mistakes still? Feel free to point it out! XD Thanks for reading and your support!

Questions!

Q: Hmmm… not too much on the battle huh?
A: Yeah. I think this is already pretty long for a one-shot and we all know what happened in the battle anyway. So I just make very brief description *cough* summary about that event.

Q: Why is it only Adel and Julie mentioned? Where are the other Shimon?
A: Because Adel is the closest and unofficially the leader of the Shimon Family. While Julie is the main antagonist that set things up. The others only mentioned slightly (very) in that battle scene. And so does the same fate with the Vongola guardians.

Q: Enma seemed to choose his past than Tsuna much easier… Why?
A: Because Enma feel that this battle will also involve the whole family of Shimon and that with the battle their fate will change forever. Not to mention that Enma lost his very dear family.
