Summary: Going out to enjoy the Hanami season never seemed so hard for both Hiruma and Mamori.

Notes: Here's my little offering as a thank you for being a featured writer! It is a true honour and I really thank all the amazing support I've been receiving here in the HiruMamo fandom. Thank you! Now on to this story, it's actually a mix of the spring prompt I never completed from the last contest in the HirumaxMamori DA as well as this crack idea I had in mind. The crack idea didn't come out too well as I'm in no position to write something funny in my current state, so I decided to put in the Spring theme to make it a little sweet at least. I apologize if it's too simple or boring. But I really do hope you all appreciate it! Thank you once again!

The sounds of excited squeals and screams grew closer, causing Mamori's heart to feel like it could leap out of her chest with every beat it took. She clenched on to Hiruma's hand to keep herself steady, waiting for the possible inevitability of being found.

"HIRUMA-SAAAAN!"

"ANEZAKI-SAAAAN!

"WHERE ARE YOU?" were the only audible words she could hear among the loud screams. They were drawing closer now. She knew it was a useless attempt, but she held her breath anyways.

And just as quickly as they appeared below her, they had finally disappeared. "More could be snooping around here soon," Hiruma finally spoke up.

"That means we're pretty much stuck here, aren't we?" Mamori sighed, looking at her surroundings. They were sitting on a rather sturdy tree branch, hidden behind thousands and thousands of Sakura blossoms, a perfect picture for the Spring season. The smell was overpowering at first, but Mamori had now gotten used to them. But being this high, even though it was barely a few feet, did make her feel a little dizzy. "It's a good thing you thought of coming up here, even I wouldn't think of looking here."

Hiruma pointed ahead, "We're close to the place where the old Fucking Deimon members climbed that tree during Hanami, remember?"

Mamori squinted her eyes to look beyond the Sakura blossoms. She then realized that Hiruma was right, the hill towards the temple the Deimon Devil Bats had been to long ago during the Hanami festival was right there. Her face lit up as she exclaimed, "Ah! How nostalgic!"

Hiruma shushed her quickly as a couple of men with DSLR cameras were walking around. Mamori instantly clamped her mouth with one hand, again hoping that despite how futile it was, that they wouldn't be found. Hiruma was still holding on to her hand tightly, as one of the men came closer. If he looked up he would see them instantly...

But the man was called away moments later, and they soon ran off. They breathed easily once again. Mamori laughed nervously, "I never knew the day would come where I'd be running away from the public like a convict!"

"Keh, you should have seen that coming since you fucking started dating me," said Hiruma, though he grinned in amusement.

"But this really is ridiculous," said Mamori, looking around to see if anymore people were coming. "I can understand running away from people who are out to HARM us, but this?"

"Well, if you just let me handle this, we'd be out of this mess in no time," said Hiruma, putting one hand in his pocket and letting his fingertips brush through the pages of his little black book.

Mamori shook her head. "We really shouldn't depend on that book so much! Besides, I'd like to believe all this will end soon enough once the initial news dies down. It always happens that way... I think." Mamori looked around nervously.

"Fine," Hiruma grinned as he leaned back against the tree trunk and pulled Mamori into his arms carefully as she was still dizzy being this high. "We might as well wait since you prefer it that way."

Mamori leaned back against Hiruma's chest, allowing him to wrap his arms around her. It wasn't everyday that he would hold her outside confined walls, and while it really was a strange situation to be in, it was obvious they'd have to make the best of it. And she guessed being held by Hiruma on top of a Sakura tree would count to be pretty romantic enough.

"I really don't get it though..." Mamori finally spoke up. "Why do people want to see us together so much? I mean it's one thing to support our relationship, but to demand photos of us together and continually asking what we do together is pretty much ridiculous."

"Oh, you haven't seen or read what else our fucking fanclub has been up to, especially on the internet," Hiruma replied, cackling a little.

"Wait, we have a FANCLUB?" Mamori exclaimed a little too loudly. She panicked and quickly placed her hands on her mouth once more as Hiruma held her tightly. He scouted around to see if anyone had seen or heard them, but they were once again safe. Mamori sighed in relief. "Are we really that ideal in some way that people would want to see us together that badly?"

"Stop fucking worrying so much," said Hiruma, resting his chin on Mamori's head. "Let them have their fun, we can always have our own little fun, right?"

The hint of deviousness in his voice made Mamori blush. Did he really have to bring that up? "Fine, you're right..." Mamori sighed as she shifted her back against Hiruma's chest. "People can think what they want... as long as they don't really know... everything." Mamori just allowed Hiruma to cackle into her ear. "Let's hope we can get out of here as soon as possible."

"Are you fucking kidding me? You've got to admit, we've got the best seats for Hanami this year," said Hiruma, being rather optimistic.

Mamori looked at the pink veil of flowers before her, and the hill in the distance that brought back fond memories of her time in Deimon. She smiled, as memories of how she and Hiruma were back then flooded through her mind. It felt strange to have their relationship finally out in the open, but spring seemed to mark a new beginning for the both of them, thus it also felt rather apt.

With that in mind, Mamori buried the back of her head into Hiruma's shoulder and whispered "I guess you're right..."

Extra Notes: Just in case you guys may not know, Hanami is this tradition normally celebrated during Spring in Japan that mostly involves sitting under Sakura trees and just... eat, drink and have fun. XD
