Thank you to those who answered the poll. I want to wait for a few more answers before I finalize my decision. So, I'd be oh so very grateful if other people could vote on my poll (found on my profile).

54 Tower (Enma x Haru)

I look up to see light flowing out from the glass window.

Hoping to see a radiant smile, I stand underneath the window and wait.

With a few small pebbles in hand, I chuck them at the window one by one.

That one missed.

So did that one.

This one too.

AH! This one as well!

Wow… I really can't do this.

There is a limit to how bad someone can be.

I should just give up while I'm ahead.

Oh! I got it! I managed to hit the window!

It only took, one, two, three…seven tries.

I wonder if she heard it? Maybe I should try to chuck another one at her window?

The window opens and a young girl looks out the window with a hairbrush in her hand.

She observes the surrounding area near her window, as if expecting something, but to her dismay she sees nothing.

She looks down to see a young boy with a sheepish smile on his face.

Tilting her head, in confusion she can't help but ask why he's there.

"Enma-kun? What are you doing down there?"

Enma started to fidget, a bit nervous by this point.

He thought that if she really hadn't shown herself he could just run away and pretend it never happened, but… unfortunately she did open up her window.

"Ah… well you see… I was staying over at Tsuna's house and well… um… you know… reborn likes to do weird things. We played this dare game or something… and…" Enma trailed off.

If anyone knew Reborn, it was going to be something really weird.

All his games revolved around something odd or dangerous.

"So what is Reborn-chan having you do?" Haru asked resting her chin into her palm tiredly.

"Ah…" Enma unfolded a piece of paper and started to read it, not having memorized his task by heart. "Um…"

He started to scratch his cheek, tapping his foot quickly.

Next, he started to walk in circles.

Haru only watched him do so without a word, waiting patiently for him to answer her question.

"Eh, well this is the first one I could think of so… um… 'princess princess let down your hair?' Eh… I think that's how it goes." Enma fidgeted nervously.

"Hah?"

Enma rushed behind a tree and hid out of sheer embarrassment.

"I-I was dared to come out and say a line I could think of from the first fairy tale I could remember." Enma said.

Considering how he asked her to let down her hair, it must've been Rapunzel.

"So is there anything else?" She asked trying to get him to come out of his shy hiding.

Enma read the piece of paper again.

"I need to bring back proof that I did this." Enma said, though he was unsure of what would be suitable enough to serve as proof.

Haru retreated back into her room and after fumbling around in her room for a few moments, she came back out and threw something out the window.

Enma luckily was able to catch it, looks into his hands and sees a small keychain with… some… demon thing on it?

"It's Namahage. They would know Haru's love for Namahage, so if you show this, they should believe you.-desu." Haru said.

Enma laughed and he nodded his head. "Alright thanks. See you another time then Haru." Enma waved and ran back to prove that he completed his mission. Wonder what Tsuna's mission was going to be?


Lawls, yes, wasn't much fluff or anything. I wanted a neutral feeling fic.

Hope you enjoyed it.
