Star: First off, I want to say thank you for all favorites and follow. I'm glad you guys like my story. I'll try and get the chapters up as quick as I can. Honestly I have all plot line and almost everything in my head, the hard part is just writing it out.

"Morning, Nana."

Nana looked over her shoulder and smiled as Misaki in the kitchen, rubbing her eyes. "Morning Misa-chan. Did you sleep well?"

The girl nodded as she stretched her back out." Yeah, though it was kind of cramped."

Nana giggled. "I went up to check on you earlier. It's been awhile since I've seen you and Tsu-kun sharing the same bed. I'm surprised one of you wasn't on the floor."

Once the party had ended, Misaki was exhausted and either she or Tsuna wanted to rearrange his room and lay down the futon down, so they both ended up crashing in Tsuna's bed. They used to be able to shared bed but as they got older they decided to stop for thanks to a little thing called puberty.

"Yeah, but don't think we'll be sharing a bed again anytime soon." Misaki said, rubbing the back of her head, a faint blush on her cheeks.

"Huh? Why?" Nana asked.

"W-Well it kind of weird now that we are older. Also I forgot Tsuna is kind of like a living heater."

"Hmm, I guess. Misaki, do you mind setting the table?"

"Not at all."

As Misaki took out the dishes, she told Nana all about her stay in Bar Harbor, like the house they lived in, her school life, her friend and their craziness. Although Nana had heard some of these story, she was happy to hear them again, hearing the way the girl's voice was described every detail. Nana chuckled, she was just like her mother, and both of them had a wonderful voice that just drew you in when they talked. Sometimes, when Misaki and Tsuna were playing video game, screaming at each other, Nana though for a second she was listening to Emi yelling instead.

Nana's heart tightened a little. It hurt that her best friend wasn't around to see how much her daughter had grown. Part of her was still angry at Emi,even after all these years, but she could understand why she had to go, but the reason why she didn't tell any of them lingered in her mind. She left out a soft sigh, even in the afterlife, her best friend was driving her nuts.

"Nana?"

"Hmm?" Nana looked over at Misaki then smiled. "Sorry, Misa-chan, I was lost in my thoughts. I wish we had visited you two while you were there. Bar harbor sound like an amazing place."

Misaki smiled back. "My dad said you would have liked the little shops and my friend would have liked Tsu-kun….hey Nana?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think…" Misaki bit her lip, nervously." Do you think Mom would have liked it there?"

Nana stared at the girl, before smiling. She wiped her hands on her apron as she walked over to the girl. Misaki blinked, slightly confused as the woman cupped her cheeks and rested her forehead against hers, staring into her eyes. A small smile graced the red head's lips at the familiar gesture, it was one her mom used to do did when she was nervous or needed comfort or encouragement. After she died, Nana and her dad started doing it.

"Misaki, I'm sure your mother would have loved it there. I can tell how much you loved it there so I don't see any reason she wouldn't have." Nana said, reassuring.

Misaki smiled and nodded. Nana kissed her forehead, smiling brightly at the giggle she got just as Lambo and I-pin ran in. Nana smiled as the two of them started asking Misaki questions and the girl tried to answer them the best she could.

"Emi, I hope you can see what a wonderful girl your blossom has bloomed into."

~KHR~

"Misaki, you almost ready?"

"Yeah, just hold on a second."

Misaki took a step back and looked over herself in the mirror. She wore a white and gray cut top with a floral pattern across the front and dark jeans. Her hair was pulled up into a side ponytail on the right side of her head while her bangs were swept to the left like usual, falling slightly over her eye. Misaki reached up and toyed with the flower studs her friend Becca had given her before deciding that she looked okay. She grabbed her brown hoodie and purse from Tsuna's bed before heading downstairs.

"You okay?" Tsuna asked as Misaki put on her jacket.

"Yeah, just a little nervous." Misaki said as she put on her boots, trying to ignore the slight knot in her stomach. "I know I met them the other day but…"

"You know we can do this another day. I'm sure everyone will understand."

The redhead shook her head. "I'm okay and I want to do this. Besides, I want to see how much Nami has changed."

Tsuna smiled, though he was a little worried. Reborn had disappeared after breakfast and no one knew where he was. Tsuna knew that his spartan tutor had something up his sleeve and it involved his best friend. The word the infant had said still lingered in his mind from last night. Part of him wanted to tell her, tell her about the madness he has been through in the past few months, but part of him was hesitant. Misaki was his best friend, the one who didn't care if he was Dame-Tsuna. She stood by him even when others tried to pull her away from him. The two of them could tell each other anything but it was just like when he tried writing it in his letters.

"Okay, ready?"

"Yup!" The redhead said, a bright smiled on her face.

He couldn't find the right words.

~KHR~

"Nami really hasn't changed that much." Misaki said, looking around.

She was currently walking with Tsuna's friend through the shopping district. Nothing really changed except for one or two new stores. The manga shop that she and Tsuna went to was had moved to a bigger shop and the a new bakery had taken the place of the old video store. She was slightly disappointed but also happy.

"Ne, Misaki is there any place you want to go?" Kyoko asked.

Misaki bit her lip slightly, debating on where to go. Honestly, she couldn't decide. It had been months since she had been in Nami and although this part of the city hadn't changed much it, some of her favorite spots might not be there anymore.

"Actually how about you guys pick? I haven't been in Nami in month so I could use a refresher of what there is to around here to do." Misaki said, rubbing the back of her head.

"Then how about we go to the arcade?" Yamamoto suggested.

The rest of them agreed. As the walked towards the arcade, Tsuna watched the girl talk among themselves. Misaki let out a laugh and glanced back at him, a bright yet slightly nervous smile across her face. He returned the smile as Haru grabbed the girl's arm and dragged her over to the bakery the girl's visited on their monthly cake date.

"Misaki looks like she is having fun." Yamamoto said as the girl stood in front of the window, Haru and Kyoko stared at the cakes. "Last night, she seemed kind of jittery at the start."

"Misaki gets nervous around new people." Tsuna said. "I'm kind of surprised she opened up more than I thought she would."

"What do you mean, Juudaime?" Gokudera asked.

"Well, Misaki also has a hard time going up to new people and introducing herself. I remember when we were little, our parents tried to get us to interact with other kids. Of course that was a fail sinces I was Dame-Tsuna,but for Misaki it's getting passed that first step and getting to know people." Tsuna explained. "Usually, she would be at my side, holding my hand or shirt."

"Now that you mention it, she was kind of leaning against you most of the night." Yamamoto said, remembering how Misaki had almost fallen asleep on Tsuna's shoulder.

"That kind of how you know she is comfortable around you. Misaki is kind of a cuddle bug."

An excited squeal echoed through the air. The boys looked towards the girls and saw them standing by the shopping districts bulletin board, Haru and Kyoko jumping up and down while Misaki had her hands over her ears, a slightly confused look on her face. The boys walked over to see what all the fuss was about.

In the center of the board was a large midnight blue flyer. At the top of the flyer was a crescent moon with a cherry blossom in the center while the bottom was lined with different types of desserts and sweets all in gold outline. Written in gold calligraphy:

MOONLIGHT SAKURA SWEETS.

Dear Residents of Namimori.

After a long deliberation, Moonlight Sakura Inc. is happy to announce we will be opening one of our cafes in the wonderful city of Namimori. Our famous cafe, Moonlight sweets, where you can buy our classics like our Cherry Mochi and Namagashi, to new creation base on your wonderful town.

We hope to see you all at the grand opening on April, 20.

"I can't believe they are opening a cafe here!" Haru cheered.

"What are you two gushing about? And what is this moonlight cafe crap?" Gokudera asked, not seeing why this was so important.

"Moonlight Sakura is a big company in Japan. They own the 'Moonlight' chain of restaurants and cafes and the 'Sakura' of clothing stores and jewelers." Misaki explained as she rubbed her ears, slightly amazed at the pitch the girl's had. "Most of their stores are in major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto where their main headquarter is located. In the last few years they have been opening shops in smaller cities and overseas."

"How do you know so much about the company, Misaki?" Yamamoto asked.

"A friend of my cousin's mom works in of the one 'Sakura' branches." Misaki said, smiling a little. "She took me to one of cafe's on a trip to Tokyo two years ago."

"YOU WENT TO ONE OF THE CAFES!?" The girls screamed.

The redhead rubbed her ears again. "Yeah, it was okay, in my opinion."

"You're so lucky Misaki-chan. I've heard that Moonlight cafes are always crowded, and unless you've called in advances, it's almost a hour wait." Haru pouted.

"Don't hold your expectation so high until you actually try them. They may be ranked as the number one but to you they could be the worst."

"I guess you're right. My parents took me and Onii-chan to this nice restaurant and while my parents loved it, I felt like it was kind of a letdown." Kyoko said, remembering how her mom had hyped her up about it.

"How about instead of the arcade, we go bowling?" Misaki suggested, looking over at Tsuna. "Is Naoki's still open?"

Tsuna thought for a moment before nodding."Yeah,it just reopened after they remodeled it."

The other agreed. As the group walked away, Tsuna noticed that the redhead wasn't following them. He stopped and looked back. Misaki just stood there looking at the bulletin board, a slight frown on her lip. Tsuna walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, smiling when the girl looked at him. Misaki blinked before reaching up and placing her hand on top of Tsuna's. A silent message passing between them as Yamamoto yelled back to them to hurry up while Gokudera snapped at him not to tell his boss what to do. Misaki grabbed the brunette's hand and pulled him as they ran to catch up with the group. Tsuna gave a quick glance over at the bored before looking at the redhead.

~KHR~

"So which one, again?"

"I think he said the redhead."

"And why are we doing this, again?"

"Because the boss asked us too."

"I still think this is a bad idea."

"How come?"

"Just is!"

"Would you two stop and focus?"

"Sorry.."

~KHR~

Crash!

Yamamoto let out a whistle. "Wow, two strikes in a row."

The girls giggled as Misaki spun around and gave them a playful bow. They were on their sixth frame and Misaki was battling, surprisingly, Tsuna for first was in third, Haru in fourth, Kyoko in fifth and Gokudera was dead last. The silverette was caught between being happy that his boss as doing so wonderful and being pissed that he was in last place while the baseball idiot was doing so well.

"I didn't know that Tsuna-san was so good at bowling." Haru commented as Tsuna stood up and Misaki took his seat.

"My dad used to takes us a lot as kids. As clumsy as he is, Tsuna is one of the best bowlers I know." Misaki said.

"Of course, Juudaime would be great at this as at everything else." Gokudera said proudly.

Misaki blinked confused. "Juudaime? Come to think of it, he was calling Tsuna that last night."

"Ne, Gokudera-kun why do you call Tsuna Juudaime?"

Thump

"Tsuna!" Misaki yelped as her best friend landed face down.

"JUUDAIMIE!" Gokudera exclaimed, rushing over to help his beloved boss up. "Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah I'm fine." Tsuna winced, rubbing his forehead as his ball rolled down the gutter."J-Just lost my footing."

"You sure?"

"Y-Yeah."

Tsuna walked back and picked up his ball once it got back, a uneasy knot welling in his stomach. He still hadn't made up his mind on if he should tell Misaki about the mafia.

"Maybe I should tell Misa. She'll understand, I mean we rarely keep secrets from each other and I rather not face her wrath later on." Tsuna though, mentally winces when he thought about the last time Misaki got pissed off. "Also she is my best friend, we've been through alot…still…"

Tsuna threw the ball, putting all his frustration into his throw. The pin fell with a loud crash, getting cheers and a playful whine from behind him.

"I don't want her apart of this."

~KHR~

"Everything set?"

"Yup!"

"I still think this is a bad idea.."

"Suck it up."

"Shut up!"

"Make me!"

WHACK

"Enough. Lets just get this over with."

~KHR~

"Any luck?"

"No.." Tsuna sighed.

"How the hell did we even lose her?" Gokudera asked annoyed, looking around for a speck of red.

After two games and a quick bite to eat, Misaki wanted to head back to the shopping district and pick up some school supplies and a few other things.

"It's not Misaki-chan's fault!" Haru argued. "It's very crowded and it very easy to lose sight of each other!"

"Still.."Kyoko said, looking around at the crowd. "It wasn't this crowded when we left the store. I wonder if there is a special event."

It was true, every time they left a store, more people seemed to be on the street then when they when in.

While the other searched at one end, Misaki was sitting in one of the restaurants, reading the one of the latest doujinshi she bought. It's was pointless to try and find her friend when the crowd was this thick,she knew from one of the festivals Alana had taken her to over the summer. It was best either call her friends and pick meeting place. Unfortunately, her phone was at home in her carry on.

"It's my fault anyway, I shouldn't have stopped or I should have called out to the guys before they got to far away." Misaki thought as she turned the page.

"Ah, Misaki-chan!"

The redhead looked up and saw Haru,Kyoko and Yamamoto walk into the cafe. She was about to stand up when an uneasiness washed over her. Misaki shook her head and pinched her the bridge of her nose, trying to get rid of the feeling.

"Maybe it's the smell of the coffee."

"There you are. We've been looking everywhere for you." Kyoko said as the three stopped next to the table.

"Sorry, the bookstore was having a sale on the latest of Vampire knight and a few doujinshi and I couldn't resist."

"Haha, don't worry about I kind of got distracted while looking for you by some of the new baseball equipment." Yamamoto admitted.

The girls giggled while Misaki smiled a little, the uneasy feeling growing stronger. Usually, when she got this feeling it meant something bad was going to happen, but why was she getting this feeling around her friend?

"Ne, Where Tsuna and Gokudera-kun?" Misaki asked.

"We all split up to find you. I caught up with the girls a few minutes before we found you." Yamamoto explained. "By the way, do you have your phone on silent? We tried calling you but it went to voicemail."

The redhead rubbed the back of her head, giggling nervously."No,I was in a hurry earlier so I ended up leaving it in my carry on."

"I see."

Something about the way he said that sent chills down Misaki's back. The feeling was all but screaming at her to get away from them. Misaki shook her head, maybe she was still jet lagged and that was messing with her head.

"I think we should go find Gokudera-kun and Tsuna." Misaki said, stand up.

As they walked towards the door, Haru told Misaki that she had bought something she wanted the girls opinion. Misaki turned to ask what, only to get a face full of some kind of perfume.

"Ah, sorrysorry!" Haru apologized as the redhead went into a fit of coughing.

"It fin-"

The last thing Misaki saw was Yamamoto calling Haru an idiot for using that much and Kyoko smacking her forehead in disbelief before it all tilted and went dark.

Star: Ah oh. *giggles* Any way I hope you guys like it and review it. I want to know what you guys think.
