It was a bright Sunday afternoon as the Japanese tourists visit the park once again. Today, Lambo and I-Pin were sitting on the ground in front of Haru and Tsuna. Lambo was holding his precious Gyuudon, showing it off to his good friend.

"Gyuudon was given to me by my papa. He is so amazing. Do you know why he's so amazing?" Lambo asks excitedly as I-Pin shakes her head and waits curiously. "Gyuudon is a cow with incredible strength and protects everybody from harm. Sometimes, if you look close enough, you can see electricity coming from his horns."

The little girl squints at the plush toy and tilts her head in confusion. "I don't see any."

"You're just not looking hard enough," Lambo confidently says, winking at his friend.

As I-Pin gives it another once-over, Haru pipes up. "Excuse me, I-Pin. We wanted to ask you if you would like to go to Disneyland with us on Wednesday. If so, are your parents here so we could make sure it's all right with them?"

I-Pin stares at Haru for a second before giving the older woman a soft smile. "The truth is that when I was a baby, my parents abandoned me and I became an orphan. I spent a couple years in an orphanage until I met a man who became my martial arts master. He took me in and became the father I never had."

As the adults look at her with shock and sadness, Lambo jumps up and stares in wonder. "You know martial arts? You should teach me! We could be a crime-fighting duo, along with Gyuudon." The child lifts the plush up in the air. "We'd be the best team has ever known!"

I-Pin happily grins at the idea. "That'd be so much fun." Her friend nods and she stands up. "Master is here at the park. I'll go get him so you can meet him." With that said, she runs off to go find her master.

Lambo looks over to his mother in excitement. "I wonder what he's like. I bet he's extremely strong!"

Haru's facial expression is filled with amusement. "I'm sure he is, Lambo-kun." And as she finishes her response, I-Pin returns with two tall men behind her. One is dressed in a traditional red Chinese outfit. His black hair is in a long braid which is slung over his shoulder. As you look at him, there is a feeling of calm that washes over you.

As for the other man, he is in a black suit and wore a fedora with an orange ring around it. The hat shadowed his eyes slightly, but you could still make out the black orbs that he possessed. His stare is chilling, but trusting.

"Hello. My name is Fon, and this is my dear friend, Reborn. My student I-Pin told us that your son Lambo has been playing with her recently and you have invited her to Disneyland," the man with the braid states formally, smiling gently at them.

"Ah, yes," Haru says, standing up and bowing to Fon. "My name is Miura Haru. This is my son Lambo and my friend, Sawada Tsunayoshi. After getting to know I-Pin these last few days, I figured a visit to Disneyland would be a great opportunity for Lambo and I-Pin to have fun somewhere besides the park."

Fon nods. "I believe your idea is a good idea and you seem like kind people. Perhaps I could drop off I-Pin at your hotel Wednesday?"

"I'm okay with that!"

From his spot beside Fon, Reborn looks at the two Japanese adults in front of him and smirks. "I have some tickets for a concert Wednesday night and I don't want to go. I insist you go. I think you two would enjoy it." He takes an envelope out of his pocket and waves it in front of his face.

Tsuna and Haru glance at each other before Haru tilts her head and looks at Reborn with a slight frown. "Unfortunately I do not have anybody to watch Lambo and I don't want to leave him by himself."

"I would be able to if that is all right with you," Fon offers, patting I-Pin's head. "I'm sure I-Pin would love to show Lambo our home." The little girl nods fiercely, obviously happy with the idea.

Haru grins happily and accepts the tickets from Reborn. "Thank you very much, Fon-san and Reborn-san. I appreciate this greatly."

"The pleasure is all mine, Haru," Fon says, bowing to the woman as Reborn tips his fedora to her. With that, they exchange information and Fon, Reborn, and I-Pin part ways with the Japanese tourists as night approaches.


Late at night, Haru and Tsuna sit outside on the balcony connected to Haru's room and stare out over Hong Kong. Inside the room, Lambo sleeps on the bed, cuddling with Gyuudon and snoring softly. The silence is peaceful, but is soon broken by Haru.

"I used to hate China. My father was always going on business trips here and I would miss him greatly. I felt like this country was taking him away from me. But eventually he no longer was gone and his tales of China helped us get closer. He started teaching me Chinese and I grew to truly love China. Unfortunately my father died when I was sixteen and we never got to visit China together. But I'm really glad to be here now, with you and my son." Haru tucks a strand of hair behind her ear as she glances to Tsuna. "Why do you love China?"

Tsuna looks up at the sky and sighs. "Unlike you, I don't have an extravagant story as to why I love China. I just do. However, if I had to have a reason, it'd probably be because of the history I've learned about this place, in general and personally." His eyes move to Haru and he is suddenly filled with a strange feeling in his stomach. "I must say, I'm happy that I'm here with you two also."

Haru smiles at him and the feeling grows. A blush suddenly covers his cheeks and his hand springs up to his face. The feeling becomes uneasiness as he stands up and stumbles a little. "Excuse me. I should probably head to bed now."

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow, Sawada-kun!" Haru says with a wave before looking back over the city. Tsuna quickly leaves the room and leans against the wall between his room and Haru's, his hand still covering his face.

"What is going on with me?" he whispers, staring up at the ceiling in confusion.


I think there is perhaps one more chapter left. I kinda feel bad for that, but it's the way I want it to go. I hope I wrote Fon and Reborn decently. Anyways, hope everybody is enjoying the story! Feel free to review!
