AN: So I've decided to proceed normally with the story. There will be two more chapters and after that the plot will start to appear. :D

Enjoy~

A Festival had decided to come to town and Mizuki couldn't be more…depressed. It's not like she didn't want to go to the festival. She absolutely loved the festivity. The only problem was the stupid kimono! Mizuki was never the one to be the girly girl. She preferred sports over gossip, climbing trees over makeup, playing in the mud over tea parties. Of course she knew that she was girl and needed to act like one but Dammit kimonos? Really?

She sighed again for the, who knows how much, time. She was definitely in a sour mood and Tsuna could quickly feel the thirst of blood aura radiating from her.

Tsuna also didn't want to come to the festival (because he knew Mizuki would be in this mood) but his mother had convinced him and he had no other choice but to agree.

Well, he just hopes that she doesn't immediately punch someone who's the first to comment on her look. Even Nana knew the murderous intent and kept her mouth shut.

They all walk down the dirt road with Tsuna next to Mizuki and Nana just behind them. If someone as so much as looks at Mizuki she immediately glares at them and they all scamper away. Kind of like seeing a big shot mafia boss walking down the street where everyone runs the moment the aura of blood thirst reach their radar. [1]

Tsuna sighs and he knew that he had to snap her off of the murderous aura or his going to suffer through hell for the rest of the night. So like a true friend that he is he looks around to see if anything could catch her attention to at least divert her from…killing someone.

And one object catches his attention. He, reluctantly, grasps her hand and runs towards a booth where they were selling huge teddy bears. When they reach the booth he looks back only to see Mizuki glaring at the stand owner he sweat drops and quickly pulls out his money to buy the teddy bear.

"H-Here you go kiddo."

The store owner hands Tsuna the teddy bear while trying to recover from Mizuki's glare (He even figured out that if you stare too long at her glare, you become paralyzed. He accidently got it spread and Mizuki was pissed. That was one secret he'd take to the grave!)

He quickly shoves the teddy bear in front of Mizuki (To save the stand owner from certain paralysis). She blinks once and takes a step back to see what the object was in front of her. She grins and quickly takes it squishing the object.

"Thank you Tsu-kun!"

His worried expression quickly melts when he sees him twirl the teddy bear around. He was about to pull you back to Nana when he sees you trying to let the teddy bear stand. He watches as the teddy bear stands for a second then falls to the ground. She laughs at the teddy bear, picks it up, and squeezes it again.

"It's like trying to make a dead man stand!"

Tsuna decided not to question her as to why she knew that. He just shakes his head smiles at least she was happy.

"Tsu-kun it's almost time for the fireworks! Let's go!"

He was immediately dragged off when she grasps his hand and yanks him towards Nana. He smiles happily and blushed a little bit when he noticed that she was holding his hand.

And it felt warm.
