This chapter is pretty long. Hope you all are grateful! :D

Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, shape, or form, own KHR. No matter how much I want to. (Geez Santa! Grant my wish!) I own Kim-chan!

Kim's POV-

"Kim-chan!," I turned and saw Kyoko running after me.

"Morning Kyoko-chan," I smiled as we walked together to school. "Where's Ryouhei-kun?"

"Oniichan is running around like usual," she replied.

"He runs around usually?," I rose a brow, confused.

She nodded, "He runs before school every morning."

"That's dedication," I gasped.

"He's on the boxing team you know."

"That's reasonable. He looks like a boxer."

"He's also on the sumo-team!"

I sweat-dropped, "R-Really now..."

"So, where did you use to live here?"

"My old house?..." I looked around. "It's hard to tell since this place has changed quite a bit since I was younger."

"Is there any way for you to find it?"

"Maybe... Yeah. I remember the way from- Wait, why are you so curious about this?"

"Ah! You caught me. Heh, I was trying to see if I can figure out who your friend was by doing this."

How? I mean...she wouldn't know that I can find my way easily from Tsuna's house...

When we got inside the school, we met up with Hana and Kyoko cheerfully shared her investigating failure.

"That's not how you find information," Hana sighed. "So, you still are a friend with him right?"

I nodded, "Not sure about the best part is all."

"Which means you talk to him still," she pointed out.

I nodded, "Sounds right."

Haru is at a big disadvantage since she doesn't go to school here...

I stole glances at Tsuna in every class till lunch.

"Rooftop?," I asked when Gokudera and Takeshi came to us.

Kyoko and Hana were going to eat lunch with their other friends today.

"Mm!," Takeshi smiled.

When we all got to the roof, I ran over to the fence. The wind was really blowing today. It felt nice. I hooked my fingers in the small holes that made the fence, closing my eyes.

Tsuna's POV-

"What's that stupid woman doing?," Gokudera snapped, sitting down.

"She must like roofs," Yamamoto laughed.

"She didn't do that before when we were here. Why isn't she eating lunch with other people anyways?," Gokudera crossed his arms, probably referring to Kyoko and Hana.

"She doesn't have that many friends," I told Gokudera.

He stopped talking about Kim-chan and started to eat. I looked over at her form.

"Who do you think her friend was?," Yamamoto asked me.

"I'm not sure... Is it weird that I feel like I know?," I asked him.

"Who do you think it is?," he asked me.

"I-I don't know. I-I just feel like I-I know who...but I also don't."

He laughed and patted my back hard.

"Kim! You should come and eat!," Yamamoto called to her. She turned to us and came over. She sat between Yamamoto and me.

"So, what's the first letter of his name?," Yamamoto asked.

"The guy? Not telling," she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Why not?," he asked.

"Because. You'll find out who it is...depending on how you think of it. I only know two people in Japan with that letter first."

"I see. I see. Can we have a letter in his name?," he changed his question.

"Hmm, sure. A," she took a bite out of her onigiri.

"First or last name?"

"Both."

"Right! I narrowed it down!"

"Oh? You know everyone I know here?"

"Not exactly, but I'm getting there!," he grinned.

Kim laughed and then looked at me, "You don't seem to be asking any questions. Was Takeshi doing the talking for the both of you?"

"A-Ah. I-I just d-didn't know what to ask," I scratched the back of my head.

"I see," she mumbled.

"Just tell us who it is so we can end this stupid game!," Gokudera yelled at her.

"No," she scooted a bit behind me. "Start being nice to me and maybe I will tell you who it is."

Gokudera growled at her and she hid behind me.

"Get away from Juidame!," he yelled. "You're bothering him!"

"N-No s-she's not G-Gokudera-san!," I yelled, holding my hands out when he pulled out his dynamite.

"Why does he bring dynamite to school? Then again...why does he carry it with him?!," Kim shouted.

"I'm Juidame's right hand man!," Gokudera said proudly.

"Then what's Takeshi?," she asked.

"That baseball nut is not his right hand man!," Gokudera argued.

"Baka-Dera, it's not nice to call people names," she 'tsked'.

I sighed as they started to fight again with Yamamoto laughing.

From a mute to this?

"Stupid Baka-Dera!," Kim yelled, running away from Gokudera who was throwing his dynamite at her.

I couldn't help but smile for some reason.

"Help me Tsuna-kun!," she ran in front of me, crouching down.

"Huh?," I turned around to see a stick of dynamite coming towards us.

BOOM!

"Juidame!," Gokudera ran over to us.

Kim's POV-

Tsuna was covering in ash while I was barely covered in it. He couched out more ash and fell to the side.

"Tsuna!," I yelled, making sure he was okay.

Gokudera pushed me out of the way and held onto Tsuna's shoulders, shaking him. Gokudera looked genuinely worried.

"This is all your fault woman!," he glared at me.

He doesn't take responsibilities for his own actions though.

"This is all your fault Baka-Dera," I snapped at him.

How dare he accuse me! I would never harm Tsu-kun unless for a good reason!

"I-I'm fine guys, r-really," Tsuna said, trying to stop us from fighting.

I smiled at Tsuna, "Thank god you're okay."

"Don't talk to him! This is your fault in the first place!," Gokudera snapped back.

I stood up, hands on my hips, "I wasn't the one who threw the stick of dynamite!"

He stood up too and pointed at me threateningly, "Don't think I won't throw them again at you!"

"You're the first guy to purposely try to hurt a girl. You're not a gentleman at all. More like a stupid-man," I spat out.

"Says the stupid woman," he countered.

"If I'm stupid, then what are you?"

"Juidame's right hand man!"

"Oh please- Is that Lambo?," I saw a small little cow boy scratching his butt at the door.

Everyone followed my eyes to see Lambo.

"Tsuna, what are you doing on the ground?," Lambo asked.

"What are you doing here Lambo?," Tsuna asked, dusting himself off.

"Lambo-san got bored!," Lambo whined.

Gokudera picked up Lambo, about to throw him off the roof. My eyes widened and I tackled him to the ground.

"Don't hurt Lambo!," I grabbed Lambo into my arms and held him safely away from Gokudera. "He's just a kid!"

I have no idea how this even happened... Gokudera was offending me again, then Lambo started offending him, then Lambo jumped out of my arms, throwing grenades everywhere, a lot falling out of his hair, and a grenade hit himself.

"Gotta...stay...calm," Lambo got up onto his knees, saying, trying to hold back tears. I thankfully was far back enough to avoid all the chaos while Tsuna, Gokudera, and Yamamoto were dodging all the grenades. Why does Lambo even have grenades!?

Lambo started crying and I took this as my cue to comfort him. I stopped a few feet away when a purple bazooka was coming out of his hair. My eyes widened as Lambo grabbed a hold of it, crying, and then went in it.

POOF

Pink smoke came out. I coughed along with the others. Once the smoke cleared, I saw...the weird guy who kissed my hand when I went to drop off Lambo's candy. Tsuna looked panicked again.

The guy, what was his name again? Romeo? Yeah, Bianchi said it was. Romeo noticed me and started walking to me.

"Yare Yare. Ah, young Kimmy-chan-" I cut him off by taking out my phone and calling Bianchi. Romeo noticed and quickly took my phone away from me and threw it over the fence.

"...What the hell was that for! That's the second phone I broke this month!," I whined.

"My apologizes Kimmy-chan, but-"

"How do you know me Romeo?," I asked as Tsuna and Gokudera face-palmed.

"W-Well, I guess it's time that La-I mean Romeo left now," Tsuna stuttered nervously.

"My name isn't Romeo. It's Lambo! You remember me right Kimmy-chan!," the guy looked at me pleadingly.

"Lambo is a little kid! You can't trick me into believing that you're him!," I stated, confused.

"But I am! I can prove it! You indulge yourself into pastries, you have a fast metabolism, you always brought me candy when I was little, you'd always fight with Gokudera-shi, and you're infatuated with young-" before the guy could finish talking, Reborn came out of no where with a mallet and knocked him out.

I blinked, confused.

"He almost gave away the game. We can't have Lambo winning," Reborn said as the mallet turned into a chameleon.

POOF

Pink smoke came out again and where the weird guy was, Lambo now was. I picked him up and looked at Reborn, confused.

"Reborn, what was that?," I asked him.

Tsuna was panicking again, "T-That w-w-was...u-u-uhhh..."

"Who you just saw was Lambo from 10 years into the future," Reborn stated.

"Reborn!," Tsuna yelled at him.

Reborn didn't explain this to me earlier.

Reborn ignored him though, "Lambo used the 10-year bazooka to switch places with his 10 years older version."

No matter how unbelievable that is...I have to trust Reborn. Wait! If that really was an older Lambo from the future, then that means he knows about Tsuna! Thank god that Reborn came when he did! He knows my dark secret about pastries...damn.

"You shouldn't tell her things like that!," Tsuna scolded.

"Why?," I asked, raising a brow.

Tsuna froze and looked at me, "B-Because..."

"Am I not worthy of the truth?," I asked, stepping closer to Tsuna.

"N-No i-it's not that," Tsuna stuttered, holding his hands up in defense.

"Stay away from Juidame!," Gokudera ran between us, holding his dynamite in the spaces between his hands.

"You can't boss me around!," I yelled, looking down, my bangs covering my eyes, I bit my lip and ran into the door, back into the school.

Tsuna's POV-

"Ah! Kim-chan!," I held my hand out to go after her.

"Leave her be," Reborn said.

I turned to Reborn as Gokudera put away his dynamites.

"Why did you tell her that!?," I yelled at Reborn.

"Why didn't you tell her?," he asked me.

I was taken aback from his question, "B-Because I don't want her to get involved with the mafia! It's too dangerous!"

"I think she could handle herself if she was trained," Reborn said to me.

"So you are planning on recruiting her!"

"I wonder," Reborn smirked and left through one of his many entrances/hiding places in the school.

I sighed.

I can't protect her from Reborn...

I picked up her bag and her untouched bento box.

"Where'd Yamamoto go?," I asked, noticing his disappearance.

"We're better off without them," Gokudera said.

Kim's POV-

I held Lambo close to me as he woke up.

"Where are you taking Lambo-san, Oneechan?," I looked down, surprised at what Lambo called me.

Did I ever introduce myself to him?

I slowed down my walking pace.

Where are we going?

"...," I smiled down at him. "We're going to the candy store."

His face lit up, "Lambo-san wants all of the candy in the store!"

I laughed, quickly running out of school. I went into my house, not caring whether or not my mom was home. I grabbed my wallet. Once outside again, Lambo jumped out of my arms, running around me as I was walking to the candy stop. Lambo started listing all the names of candy he knows, occasionally renaming some. I giggled.

When we got to the candy store, I lost track of him. He was everywhere, filling two medium-sized bags with candy. I sweat-dropped.

After limiting Lambo to one bag of candy, I paid for it, also buying a lollipop for Tsuna to apologize. I shouldn't have said those things to him. I know he has his reasons for not telling me anything. I turned around, feeling like I was being watched. I didn't see anyone though.

"Lambo, do you need me to walk you home?," I asked him, crouching down to him.

"No! Lambo-san is a big boy! He doesn't need his Oneechan with him!," he ran off with his bag of candy.

I hope he doesn't run into any trouble...

When I got back to school, it was passing period. I had to go to the locker rooms. Once there, Kyoko questioned me, worried about my disappearance for the last two periods. I told her I was just doing some things for my mother as I changed into my PE clothes. We walked out together, linking elbows. It's too bad Hana isn't in our PE class.

"Ah! Look it's Tsuna-kun!," Kyoko pointed out to me.

I followed her finger just to be met with Tsuna's eyes. I blushed lightly and then turned away from him. If I was going to apologize, I wanted to give him my peace offering first. Girl's were playing volleyball in the gym while boys were running on the track. I was dominating the courts, or so everyone told me. I mean I use to play volleyball two years ago, but I don't anymore.

I quickly changed and went looking for Tsuna. I held the lollipop close to my chest as I ran around, looking for him. I ran around the corner, bumping into...

I quickly ran the opposite way for my life as Hibari started chasing me for skipping out on class.

Give me a break Hibari! I'm still healing from the last time you "bit me to death."

I ran into a dead end and I watched in fear as Hibari was nearing me.

"L-Let's just talk this out H-Hibari-san," I stuttered, holding up one of my hands.

"Shut up herbivore," he said coldly.

"Ah look! Someone's not wearing the school uniform!," I pointed out the nearby window.

Hibari went to the window to look and I took that chance to run. I ran into my homeroom class, holding the door closed behind me, breathing hard.

"Kim?," I looked up to see Takeshi.

"H-Hibari...is...after...me," I tried catching my breath.

"You shouldn't have skipped out on school," Takeshi said to me.

"H-How did you-"

"I followed you because I was worried. You didn't look...okay, but then you ended up cheering yourself up," he smiled.

"I knew it! I felt someone watching me," I exclaimed. "Well, it looks like we're both dead meat."

He grinned at me as the door behind me opened, I jumped into Takeshi's arms, afraid it was Hibari. Relief flowed through me when I saw it was just Gokudera.

"I've never been so happy to see you ever," I breathed out.

"What's that suppose to mean!?," Gokudera yelled at me.

"Exactly what it entitles," I crossed my arms.

I noticed Tsuna behind him, trying to avoid my eyesight. I pushed past Gokudera and grabbed Tsuna's arm, pulling him to the roof.

"W-Where are we going Kim-chan?," he stuttered.

"You'll see," I stated.

Once on the roof, I let go of his arm and turned to him, holding out the lollipop, my head bent down to my arm's level, "I'm sorry!" He looked confused, but took the lollipop. "I shouldn't have been that cold to you... I understand that you're doing this to protect me...but...it's okay. You don't have to protect me Tsuna-kun."

"But-"

"When did we first meet?," I asked him, turning my back to him, feeling the wind.

"Around five days ago?," he said to me, unsure.

Right...

I laughed and turned to Tsuna, catching him off-guard.

I don't want to scare him... I'll just have to get him to remember slowly!

"Let's get to class," I held my hand out to him. "Tsuna-kun."

For the past two days, I've been bombarded with questions about my friend. So far, everyone knows that he has an "A" in both his first and middle name, he's male, I met him here in Namimori, I still talk to him now that I'm back, I go to school with him, he's nice, he's someone everyone knows, and he's no one you'd probably first suspect.

"I think I know who it is!," Kyoko yelled during our group lunch today.

"Who?," I looked up at her from my lunch.

"It's Gokudera-san isn't it!," she yelled so confidently.

Everyone stared at Kyoko in disbelief. I nearly chocked on my food.

"...Kyoko... Gokudera wasn't even in Japan when I was a kid...," I said to her, my eyebrow twitching.

Of all the people she could have named she chose Gokudera!

"I'm too good for that woman to be my friend," Gokudera crossed his arms. I sighed, letting Gokudera off the hook for that one.

"Anyone else?," I asked as Kyoko was sad that she was wrong.

Takeshi raised his hand grinning, "I know exactly who it is."

"He's so confident," Kyoko gasped.

"Watch him be wrong," Hana muttered.

I felt uneasy about this. Did he really know?

"I found out from Kim's mom!," Takeshi grinned.

Everyone, except for Kyoko, Ryouhei, and me, face-palmed. My eyes widened.

He does know!

"Why didn't I think of that?," Hana snapped her fingers.

"W-Who is it Yamamoto?," Tsuna asked.

"Well, it's none other than T-"

I dragged Takeshi over to the other side of the roof and Reborn appeared out of nowhere.

"Tell me in this semi-private place," I whispered to him.

He blinked, clueless, "It's Tsuna right?"

"Yamamoto Takeshi wins!," Reborn announced.

"Aww!," Kyoko whined.

"Who was it?," Hana asked.

"It was-" I covered Takeshi's mouth.

"If you're all so curious, then why don't you all go to my house and find out. Sheesh, I should have told my mother not to tell anyone," I sarcastically said.

And this is what caused everyone to go to my house after-school.

"Mom! Tell them nothing!," I yelled when I got inside.

.

.

.

No answer...she must not be home...

"Guess you guys will just have to find your own answers around my house. Good luck with that," I said, going to the land line to call my mom to buy me a new phone.

Everyone broke apart to search for answers. Takeshi stayed with me after I finished telling my mom.

"Reborn, where do we go for this date?," I asked him.

"I have it all planned out, just be ready by 10 on Sunday," Reborn told me.

"Secret date?," I questioned.

"Sounds like fun," Takeshi grinned.

I saw Hana just sunbathing in her uniform again in the backyard through the door. I sighed.

"Re-," I noticed Reborn disappeared.

"EXTREME!," Ryouhei shouted. I watched as he was stripped down into his underwear, cannon balling into the pool, much to Hana's dislike.

"Senpai is really fun, isn't he?," Takeshi grinned.

I nodded, smiling.

Well, two people gave up.

I opened the kitchen door and took out some juice and a bowl of grapes. I poured us both a cup.

"Think they'll find anything?," I asked him, sipping the juice.

"Yes," he replied.

"What makes you say that?"

"You never noticed?"

"Noticed what?"

"Nothing," he laughed. "You'll find out eventually."

What is he talking about?

"I'm home!~" I heard my mother yell. "I got your new phone sweetie!~"

She came into the kitchen and I opened the box to my new phone.

"Ms. Fuko!," Haru ran in with Kyoko following.

Thus my mother met Haru and Kyoko.

"Your mom is so cool!," Haru said to me, drinking juice.

That's three out.

I looked at Kyoko.

Join us on the dark side.

I saw her looking at something. I never noticed it before in the kitchen. Weird.

She pointed at a picture on it, "Is this you Kim-chan?"

I walked over to her as my mother towered over me, "Yup! That's my little girl!~"

I froze when I saw the majority of the pictures on the wall had Tsuna in them. There were some with my friends from America and family too, but there was more Tsuna and me.

Kyoko pointed at the boy next to me in one of the pictures, "This looked a lot like Tsuna-kun."

Takeshi started laughing. I now understood what he meant earlier. HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THIS?!

Haru came over and squeezed her way through, "Ah! Tsuna-san looked so cute!"

"Yeah, those two were practically inseparable!," my mom chirped, making everyone sandwiches. "I told your friend Yamamoto all about it."

"Sawada Tsunayoshi," Kyoko said.

Tsuna walked in, hearing his name a lot, asking, "Did someone call me?"

"It makes prefect sense!," Kyoko exclaimed, putting the pieces together.

"Haru-chan knew it all along!," Haru crossed her arms proudly.

I sweat-dropped.

No you didn't.

I leaped onto the small table in front of the picture-covered wall, trying to cover most of the pictures.

"H-Hey Tsuna," I said, embarrassed.

My mom left the kitchen to make a call.

"Hey Tsuna, why didn't you win the contest?," Kyoko asked him, confused.

"W-What d-d-do you m-mean?," he stuttered, blushing as he stared at Kyoko.

My heart panged.

"Don't act dumb, Tsuna-san," Haru patted his back.

Tsuna looked genuinely confused. Reborn appeared out of nowhere on my head.

"Whoever can get Kim off this table will win the chance to make her join their respected club," Reborn announced just as Ryouhei walked in.

I saw the spark in Ryouhei and Takeshi's eyes. Reborn hopped off my head as Hana and Gokudera came in. Kyoko and Haru got out of the way as Ryouhei and Takeshi dashed to me.

"SORRY TO THE EXTREME!," Ryouhei shouted, tripping Takeshi and grabbing me, along with the table I held so dearly onto.

I cried on the inside, not only will Tsuna see the pictures, but I'll also have to join the boxing team. I watched as Tsuna's eyes reverted from me to where I was sitting. His eyes widened as he walked slowly to it. Hana, Ryouhei, who put me down along with the table, and Gokudera looked over Tsuna. I closed my eyes, afraid for his reaction.

Tsuna's POV-

I looked at what Kim was blocking, only to see photographs. I was confused at first, until I saw the contents of those pictures.

T-That's me!

I walked up to the wall of pictures. I recognized myself in most of them. They were all when I was younger. There was a little girl with me in them. I clutched my head. It was hurting.

I-I don't remember any of these!

"Tsuna-kun, are you okay?," Kyoko asked me, worried.

I pointed at the little girl, "W-Who is that?"

"It's Kim-chan. Don't you recognize her?," Haru asked me, confused.

Kim-chan?!

My head hurt more and I put a hand to my head to try to ease the pain.

H-How can it be her? How a-am I in it? W-Why c-can't I r-remember anything from my c-childhood during these times? These must be Photoshopped!

"I-I never met her before a f-few days ago!," I yelled, confused.

I think I would remember meeting Kim-chan.

I surprised everyone.

"R-Right," I turned and looked, like everyone else, at Kim, who was holding onto her arm, her bangs covering her eyes. She had a smile plastered on her face. "I-I have no idea how t-those got there. It's stupid. Pay no mind to them." Kim's mother walked in. "W-We need more juice mama. I'll go buy some more." She walked out of the house. Yamamoto made movement to go after her, but Reborn stopped him.

"Let her be," Reborn said, his fedora hiding his eyes.

This can't be real...

I turned back to the pictures that made my head hurt even more. I couldn't place whether that really was me in the picture. I felt like I should be worried, but why? Why am I always around Kim-chan? Why am I feeling like this now?

"What's going on here Reborn-sama?," Kim's mother looked worried.

"She's making her final decision," Reborn responded.

Final...decision?

Kim's mother looked off in space, "Take care of her..."

What is Reborn going to do to her?

Reborn left and I ran after him, forgetting about the weird pictures that I'm trying to pry the meaning of. I left on impulse.

Kim's POV-

I sat down on a tube in the park. Specifically the one Tsuna and I hid in that fateful day.

What am I going to do now?...

I closed my eyes.

I have to do something... I have to... I have to protect Tsuna...

"Made your decision yet?," I heard Reborn's voice behind me. I hopped off the tube, my back still to him.

To protect Tsuna...I have to get stronger... I can't just sit back and do nothing. Tsuna will remember me one day, but for now... I have to worry about what happened to me and why. I need to reassemble my life, and if Tsuna remembers me along the way...then that's even better... I just wish... Wish I could tell Tsuna that I loved him...even if he doesn't remember me... Just...one...more...time...

Tsuna's POV-

I lost Reborn, but I kept running. It was like I knew where to go. I got to the park and I saw Reborn aiming his gun at Kim who's back was to him.

He's going to shoot her!

I started sprinting towards them.

"Show me your resolve," Reborn said just as Kim turned around.

"Kim-chan!," I shouted.

BANG!

My eyes widened as I saw her falling back. I leaped out and caught her before she hit the ground. Her eyes looked dead. The bullet hit her right in the middle of her forehead. She wasn't responding to anything. My heart ached like it was about to rip out of my chest. My shoulders were shaking.

W-Why... Why is she making me fell like this?... Ever since she came into my life I've felt like...like...

"W-Wha-"

I was cut off by a light appearing on Kim's forehead. My eyes widened as an orange flame appeared. Kim's clothes ripped off of her, leaving her in only undergarments. Her...blue undergarments I dropped her, on accident, blood coming out of my nose as I fell back.

Her eyes shot open as she stood up yelling, "I'll tell Tsuna how I feel with my dying will!" The flame on her forehead seemed to have increased in intensity once she said that.

H-He hit her with the D-Dying Will Bullet?!

I watched as she turned to me and put her body over mine, making my bloody nose worse.

"K-Kim-chan!," I yelped as she stroked my cheek and my heart raced.

W-What is this f-f-feeling?!

"I love you Sawada Tsunayoshi!," she yelled, ruining the moment that something like this should have.

D-Did she just c-c-confess to me?

I felt strangely happy. Reborn smirked and left. I saw the flame slowly disappear from her forehead as she collapsed on me.

"K-Kim-chan!," I yelled, red, more blood coming out of my nose.

I saw her open her eyes slowly, "Tsuna-kun... What happened?"

She sat up, stiffened, looked down at herself then at me, screamed, and slapped me.

"Y-You saw!," she yelled, hiding in the tube we were near.

"N-No I d-d-didn't," I stuttered.

This looks really bad!

"Your nose is bleeding!," she pointed out.

"R-Reborn did it!," I reasoned.

"...all I remember is Reborn holding his gun up at me again...," I heard her murmur.

...I need to tell her.

"Reborn shot you with a Dying Will Bullet," I sighed, trying to calm my nose.

"...that explains my clothes...," I heard her mumble.

I blinked, "You know about the Dying Will Bullets?"

"...Reborn told me about them," she said softly.

I face-palmed.

I really can't protect her against Reborn!

"Achoo!," I heard her sneeze.

"We should get you home...," I said to her. "You'll catch a cold like this."

"No. I'm...exposed...," she said, embarrassed.

I forgot! I don't have a jacket to cover her!

I blushed, "M-My house is close to h-here."

"People will see..."

"I'll make sure no one does."

I took off my sweater and tossed it into the tube, that being the best I can do.

"Okay..."

I turned away as she got out of the tube. I bent down, motioning for her to get on. She did and I stood up straight, holding her thighs. They were squishy.

"D-Don't m-move your h-hands any lower!," she snapped at me, wrapping her arms around me.

"I-I w-w-won't!," I took off running to my house, feeling Kim rest her head on my back.

I didn't even notice the pain in my head stop during this whole scene.

"Tsuna?," I heard her voice call out softly.

"Yeah?"

"You don't have to force yourself to remember...everything will come back to you when the time comes..."

... I really must have met her...

"... I'm sorry I don't remember you..."

I'll put my faith in you that we did meet back then...

"It's okay... I've already accepted that. I forgot too, until I came back here and saw the park and your house... Maybe you just need your trigger object to come to you for you to remember."

Maybe...

I opened the door to my house and quickly went to my room before anyone would notice. I let her down and she covered herself with my blanket cover. I went through my drawers and tossed her some shorts and a shirt.

"It's messy in here," I heard her mumble.

I looked around my room and noticed all the mangas, food, clothes, and paper covering my floor.

She, fully clothed now, picked up a manga and her eyes lit up, "I read this series!"

I grabbed it from her and she just laughed as I scrambled to clean my room. She sat on my bed, watching me.

"Ciaossu!," Reborn was sitting next to her. "Ryouhei is excited about you joining the boxing club."

"Reborn! Do you honestly think I can do boxing? Look at me!," Kim whined.

"Your training starts on Monday," he stated, jumping to his bed.

"Training?," I questioned, but Reborn was already asleep. I looked at Kim who just shrugged.

It's too early to even sleep!

"How's your nose?," she asked me.

"I-I think it stopped bleeding...," I stuttered, remembering her in her...underwear.

An awkward silence filled the room. I think she was thinking the same thing as me because she covered her chest with her arms.

I sat next to her on my bed as she nervously kicked her feet back and forth, "I...should get home..."

"I'll walk you!," I yelled, standing.

It's getting late.

She laughed, "It's okay. I'll walk there myself." She walked to my door, opening it. "Bai Bai."

I sweat-dropped.

You don't even have any shoes!

"W-Wait!," I held my hand out to her as she stopped, looking at me. I left my room, looking for my sandals. She wouldn't be able to fit in my shoes, but at least sandals would be better than nothing. I found them and grabbed them, going back to my room. I found her playing "Rock. Paper. Scissors." with Fuuta, I-Pin watching as Lambo was sleeping in Kim's lap. I smiled.

"Fuuta, you're really good at this!," Kim smiled, losing again to him.

Fuuta blushed as they started another round.

"Ah! Fuuta, Kim-chan has to get home now," I quickly said,

"She's not staying!," Fuuta said, upset.

"Fuuta-kun, it's okay. Hey! How about we play together tomorrow?," she smiled, ruffling his hair.

He gasped, happy, "You mean it?"

"I-Pin wants to play too!," I-Pin jumped into Kim's arms.

Kim laughed, "Sure. Even Lambo can come play!"

Kim put on my sandals and hopped out the front door. She turned and smiled at me, "Thank you, Tsuna-kun."

I scrambled my arms, scratching the back of my head I looked to the side, "I-It's nothing really."

She waved, "Bai Bai!"

I watched as she carefully walked with my sandals on. I couldn't help but smile at how funny she looked walking in them.

Kim's POV-

When I got home I wasn't surprised to see that everyone was gone.

"Is that you sweetie?~" I heard my mom's voice from the kitchen.

"Yeah," I kicked off Tsuna's sandals and walked into the kitchen to see my mom sitting at the table, not eating her dinner. I guess she was waiting for me. I took a seat across from her where my plate was. We were having steak and mashed potatoes.

"How are you feeling?," she asked, eating now.

I looked at her confused, "Why?"

"Just wondering. You got me worried when you left," my mom smiled wearily.

I closed my eyes, seeing only the blackness of my eyelids, "I feel..." A flash of an orange flame appeared, spooking me, causing me to fall back in my chair.

"Are you okay?!," my mom stood up, worried.

"Ah!," I rolled off my fallen chair, rubbing my back. "I'm okay. I just...got scared."

My mom dropped the topic and we started talking about what we're going to do for Thanksgiving, even thought that was like, what, a month away? I mean, October just started! I still have Halloween to work on!... Oh wait, I'm not in America anymore. I don't think they still trick or treat here... Maybe I can throw a Halloween costume party!

Thus my thoughts somehow sped up time and I was now lying in bed, downloading and reentering all my ringtones, songs, pictures, and contacts.

Thank god I backed-up my phone to my laptop!

I sighed, patting my heart, "Too dramatic for me."

It's mid-term week for me guys! I'm surprised I even typed this chapter up. Lol. I just couldn't resist.

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS TURNED OUT! :DDD HOPEFULLY THIS CHAPTER TURNED OUT OKAY. I'M TOO TIRED AND BUSY TO REREAD THIS CHAPTER!
