Hey everyone! So once again let me say this. The mafia part to this story IS STILL HERE, I just haven't brought it up yet. I was planning on doing it a different way but since people are curious about it, I'll change it up to show you where Tsuna is with the Vongola. Though the mafia and Vongola are important to the story, it's not my central focus per say as it is Tsuna being a father. On that note, let's begin the chapter! Read on NOODLE!

Their first night together as a family was a rocky one with the unique relationship between Keiko and Haru. Haru begins to question her ability to take care of Keiko, and worries about taking her mother's place along with coping with her feelings toward Tsuna. Tsuna is worried about being a father and the many questions left unanswered, but a rude awakening from his life will resurface this morning...

"Hmm... ahhh..." Haru let out a big yawn as she woke up from her sleep, blinking a few times before she wiped the sleep from her eyes. She looked over at the clock that read 9:00am. Haru's usual waking time is much later but she had to wake up early to make breakfast for Tsuna and Keiko. Then tidy up the house, and go out to buy things for Keiko and maybe Tsuna. She had a long day ahead of her, a fact she met with a sigh as she stretched out her arms and touched the face of Tsuna.

"Ahh!" She screamed in her mind. "What am I doing lying next to Tsuna?" She looked over to his sleeping face with adoring eyes. She had an arm and a leg hanging over his body with her head lying on his arm. She felt really warm being so close to Tsuna, and her body instinctively made her hug Tsuna closer. The feelings of being close to the person you love will only make you want to be closer and closer to that person as if you were being drawn in by a rope. She didn't want this moment to go away, she wanted it to last forever or at least long enough to hold in her heart for a long time. And though there were many things she wished she could with Tsuna, she knew it was hopeless. She could never bring herself to let her feelings out, to let them be known.

She got up from the futon gently and looked back at Tsuna and then Keiko who was also sound a sleep. She could never be with Tsuna, because to her. Doing that would be like betraying...her best friend...who has passed away. She wiped away the single tear that escaped from her eyes with her sleeve. She would have to wake up without showing any weakness or sadness. She had to be strong for not only Tsuna but Kyoko as well...

A little while after, Tsuna woke up as well with the smell of eggs and bacon being cooked. He looked lazily over to Haru, who was cooking in the small kitchen he had with an apron on. She was humming a gentle tune as she cooked breakfast. Tsuna wondered when the last time someone had cooked for him. He noticed his arms were free except for the one Keiko was using.

"She can sleep for a while longer..." Tsuna thought to himself as he very gently moves his arm from under her head and tucked a pillow in its place. He got up and saw Haru still cooking. He didn't want to bother her and he checked the time on the clock. He sighed, as he remembered what today was. Haru then looked over shoulder and saw that Tsuna was awake.

"Oh! Morning Tsuna!" She said cheerfully with a huge smile on her face. Tsuna noticed how happy she was this morning and wondered what had gotten into her.

"Ah...morning, Haru..." He said softly with a smile.

"I'm making us a really good, nutritious breakfast! It will be done in a moment okay?" Tsuna gave her a nod and Tsuna began thinking about things to do today as he kept eyeing the telephone.

"Oh...umm Tsuna...can you hand me that spatula? I'm tending to the eggs right now, and I don't want to stop."

"Hmm? Yeah, sure. I got ya." Tsuna then walked over to Haru behind the kitchen table and looked over to his right on the kitchen counter for the spatula. Haru then eyed him as Tsuna picked it up, getting lost in her thoughts. Tsuna noticed she was distracted and snapped her out of it.

"Haru, you alright?" Tsuna asked her as Haru looked away with a red face.

"Y-yeah...s-sorry...guess the heat from the pan is getting to me haha," Haru said with a nervous sudden laugh. Tsuna was beginning to feel worried about Haru who was acting strange around him.

"Oh, are you feeling alright? You don't have a fever right?" Tsuna then put his hand on Haru's forehead to feel if she has a fever. "Hmm you feel warm but not too bad. Though, your face is kinda red. You sure you're okay?"

"Y-yes..." Haru spoke as if she was Chrome in a low voice. In her thoughts she was asking why he had to feel for a fever that way! "Geeze Tsuna...you're the reason my face is red! I thought I had it under control when I saw him, but spending time with him isn't making this easy..." Haru thought to herself. She was feeling embarrassed from having Tsuna so close to her!

"Ah, Haru, the eggs!" Tsuna went behind Haru and grabbed her arm and helped her flip the eggs onto a plate.

"Oh...s-sorry!" She turned off the heat from the stove and got all the plates in order. "T-thanks Tsu-" She looked over her shoulder to see Tsuna's face right next to hers. She then noticed their bodies were touching with his body behind her. His arms touching hers as their eyes directly met and their lips were close together.

"Oh...n-no problem Haru..." Their faces turned red as Tsuna hands were on hers and their arms locked together. Tsuna saw this image before on TV, with the husband and wife showing intimacy like this. Being so close to one another, Tsuna was very conscious of Haru's butt that was against his waist. Getting lost in his thoughts, Tsuna imagined life with Haru as his wife in a flash.

"Honey I'm home!" He would say as he came home from a long day of work.

"Daddy!" Keiko says as she runs over to Tsuna who would pick her up in his arms and kiss her on the cheek.

"How was your day daddy?" She says with a smile.

"It was great. And how was yours Keiko?"

"Fun! I had a great time with mommy!"

And then walks in Haru with an apron on. "Oh Tsuna you're home! Welcome home, honey." Tsuna would set Keiko down for her to go play elsewhere as he greets his wife.

"Long day at work?" She would ask him as she undid his tie.

"Yeah...but it's worth coming home to you." Tsuna said with a smile making Haru blush with a girly giggle.

"Well then...would you like to eat dinner first...have your bath...or...me?" She says erotically which made Tsuna wake from his delusions. He was still holding onto Haru from behind who was standing there silent for the moment before speaking.

"Uhh...Tsuna...thanks for helping me...but...it's fine now..." She says shyly to him as she looked in front of her. Avoiding the intimate kiss she narrowly escaped but desperately longed for.

"Oh...right!"

"Haha...it seems we have another visitor in the house..." She joked. Tsuna didn't understand at first but then he felt the sensation between his legs and backed away embarrassed.

"S-sorry! So sorry! I apologize, Haru!" Tsuna said frantically, but Haru only laughed at him.

"It's fine. I understand that guys just react naturally...it's sort of a compliment to me if you react that way..." Haru said bravely to Tsuna.

"H-Haru...?"

"Oh! Nothing! Well breakfast is ready!" Haru said in a singing voice like a princess only to be quelled by another princess. An angry one at that.

"It better be..." Keiko said glaring at Haru. She was already sitting at the small kitchen table beside the counter waiting to eat. Tsuna and Haru exchanged glances in horror as they saw Keiko sitting there holding a fork and a knife. She was simply glaring at Haru with the most intense look a five year old girl could give!

"Oh...Keiko...you're awake...how long have you been up...?" Haru asked slowly as she gave a short laugh that was cut off by Keiko.

"Long...enough...!" She said to Haru who gulped in fear. She was beginning to genuinely fear this child to the point of keeping a safe distance from her as she set the plates for all three of them. They all sat down and began eating with Keiko glaring at Haru still. Haru turned her eyes towards Tsuna who averted his eyes from her due to their embarrassing close encounter.

"You...sleep well you two?" Tsuna said to break the awkward silence. Haru was about to answer him first but Keiko spoke up before she could say anything.

"Great! I slept weally well next to Papa!" She said with a cheery smile, but Haru had a sick look to her. She mumbled in her mind that she had a rival in the form of a five year old girl. How sad does that sound?

"Hmm, yeah how did the two of you end up sleeping with me on the futon anyway?" Tsuna asked as he put some eggs in his mouth.

"Uhhh..." They both said as they looked at the other.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

"Mmm...the lightning is weally scawy..." Keiko said as she shivered on the couch. She looked over to Tsuna and saw he was sleeping soundly. She decided to sleep next to him thinking the lightning won't scare her if she has her papa next to her. She grabbed her pillow and blanket then crawled off the couch, letting one leg touch the floor before sliding over the other. She then waddled over to Tsuna's left side and cuddled up next to him. Using his arm as a pillow and moving hers to her back. She soon found herself sleeping soundly next to Tsuna.

"Thank you...Papa..." She mumbles as she gently falls asleep, not noticing the envy and rage Haru felt as she began gnawing on her blanket.

"Grr...no way will I let her hog Tsuna all to herself...even if she is a little girl." Haru proclaimed to herself as she crawled out of bed and snuggled up to Tsuna on his right side. She quickly discovered how warm he was and found herself attached to him and his warmth as she fell asleep too.

PRESENT DAY

"Umm...no idea.." They both said as they began chowing down on their food nervously. Tsuna gave them a look but decided to leave it at that. He turned on the TV and the three watched the news.

"Ugh. More rain again today? I have things I have to take care of." Haru pouted.

"Oh? Things for Keiko?" Tsuna asked her as he looked over to Keiko.

"Yeah, her and me. I'm going to the store today to purchase some things for the house. Toys, food, baby equipment like diapers and bottles, and I also need to stop by my house to get my things and move in here. So I also need to check in with my landlady." Haru got up and took everyone's finished plates from the table into the sink and began washing them.

"You want me to come with you Haru? Sounds like a lot to do."

"Oh yeah, you can help me carry everything!" She said happily. Tsuna felt that all girls get this same happy feeling when they realize they have a guy to carry the stuff for them.

"Though Keiko will have to come with us since we can't leave her here by herself..." Haru said as she realized this terrible fact.

And Haru's happy day turned cruel and sad as she thought Keiko has to come with her. She looked at Keiko who stuck her tongue out at Haru. Haru looked over to Tsuna to see if he noticed but his attention was focused on TV. She growled in her mind and went back to the dishes. A moment later the phone began to ring in the back of the room on a couple of drawers. Haru looked at Tsuna to see if he would get it but he looked at it sadly and got up to go answer it. Haru wondered why he looked sad about it but she felt maybe it was something personal. But shouldn't she aid him in such personal matters?

Tsuna went over to the ringing phone and sighed. He slowly picked it up and answered the phone to hear a familiar voice on the other end...his hitman tutor Reborn.

"Tsuna," He said simply. He didn't have to ask to make sure if it was Tsuna for he felt he would be the only one in the house anyway.

"Hey...Reborn.." Tsuna said slowly.

"Tsuna, You know what I'm calling about do you not?"

Tsuna gave a sigh as Keiko and Haru looked at him with concerned eyes.

"Yeah...I know. But Reborn...I..."

"No buts, Tsuna. You are still the next Vongola boss and I expect you take that seriously. You understand me, Tsuna?" Reborn said firmly.

"Y-yes...Reborn..."

"I have indulged you in your requests to live the life you have now, but don't you think it's about time you come back to Namimori? Your friends are concerned about you and I'm worried about your well being. How long will you live this solitary life Tsuna?"

"I'm...not alone Reborn...it's fine okay?"

"It's not fine! You have your duties as a mafia boss to keep. You were finally diligent in your studies and training the past five years but towards the end you dropped it all and chose to be alone. I felt you needed time and allowed you to leave as long as you returned for training a couple of times but you haven't for six months. How long do you plan on ignoring your responsibilities...No-Good Tsuna!"

"As long as it takes Reborn! I'll show up okay?! Don't worry about it, now shut up and leave me alone until then!" Tsuna shouted slamming the phone down. He covered his face with his hand that he noticed he was sweating quite a bit. He soon regained his composure but not for long when he heard crying in the back of the room. Keiko had begun crying and Haru ran over to comfort Keiko in her arms. Tsuna felt very badly about making Keiko cry so soon, he couldn't handle girls crying no matter how old they may be.

"Tsuna! Is everything alright?" Haru asked him as she patted Keiko on the back and looked at Tsuna with a sad but concerned look.

"Umm...yeah...everything is fine..." He said scratching his head as he walked over to her and Keiko.

"Doesn't sound so fine to me Tsuna. I heard you mention Reborn...did something...mafia related happen?" She whispered to Tsuna.

"No, nothing like that...just...a meeting I have to attend...in Namimori sometime at the end of the month is all.." Tsuna said taking Keiko from her arms. Keiko slowly looked over to Tsuna with teary eyes and a frown. "Hey...sorry Keiko...I didn't mean to yell like that..."

"Ish...papa...mad?" She said sniffling with snot coming out her nose.

"No...Papa isn't mad...papa was just...not feeling too well okay Keiko?"

"Weally...Papa is fine then?" She wiped her eyes with her hand as Haru looked at them both.

"Yeah...papa is fine. So don't cry anymore okay? If you're going to spend time with me then you gotta know the golden rule okay?" Tsuna said to Keiko. Haru simply observed quietly as she saw Tsuna speak to Keiko so easily.

"A wule?" Keiko asked as the tears fell from her eyes.

"Yup. Tears aren't okay! You're going to be a big girl eventually right? And girls shouldn't cry so much, tears will only ruin their beauty. And Keiko is a real cutie aren't you?" Tsuna said with a wink.

"Hehe yeah!" She said smiling and laughing.

"So, if you ever feel like crying. I want you to take a deep breath, stand firmly and proudly with your head held high, and say to yourself I will not cry! I gotta stay calm! And I won't give up! Okay?"

"Yeah! I will try not to cwy anymore!" Keiko said with a big heart warming smile.

"Well I can accept some crying since you're still young but you will only become stronger, okay? So let's say it together. Okay Keiko?"

"Oh I'll say it too!" Haru said proudly with a big smile.

"Okay ready...and all together..." All three took a deep breath, fixed their posture with their heads held high. "I will not cry! I gotta stay calm! And I won't give...UP!" They all exclaim with their hands in the air. They all began to laugh at each other as Keiko hugged Tsuna tightly. Haru could only look to Tsuna with amazement at how he handled that situation. Though people may call him No-Good...it's obvious to her that Tsuna is very good. A lot better than most people, and has the potential to be the best father in the world. Though Tsuna wished it was this simple for him five years ago when he wishes he could...truly...not give up like he eventually chose to do all that time ago. When not only one girl, but four were all tied to Tsuna...

THREE YEARS AGO

Tsuna was walking down the hallways of his high school along with Yamamoto and Gokudera, they were talking about what they're going to do one afternoon when Haru and Kyoko walked up beside him. "Hey, Tsuna-san!" Haru said cheerfully as she walked with her hands behind her back along with Kyoko as they smiled eagerly at him.

"Oh, hey, Haru-san and Kyoko-chan..." Tsuna said shyly as the two were looking at them with suspicious looks. "What's up?"

"Oh...nothing!" Kyoko giggled as Yamamoto and Gokudera eyed them both oddly.

"Oh...okay then." Tsuna went back to talking with Gokudera when Haru stopped in front of them.

"Well...Tsuna? Don't you have something to give me and Kyoko today?" Haru said firmly with her hands on her hip.

"Hmm?" Tsuna asked confused before Yamamoto hit himself on the forehead when he realized what's going on.

"That's right! It's White Day today Tsuna!" Tsuna quickly had a shock expression showing he completely forgot about it.

"Ah! I forgot to get the Tenth something today Dammit!" Gokudera stomped the ground in anger.

"You..don't..you're not supposed to give any guys anything today...Gokudera..." Yamamoto said taken back by Gokudera's loyalty.

"Shut up! I know the girls get them, but why can't I do it for the Tenth!?" Gokudera got into a debate with Yamamoto as Tsuna was then left alone in the wolf den.

"You forgot...didn't you Tsuna!" Haru shouted.

"W-what...no, of course not...I got a gift for you guys! It's just I was going to give it you two later...personally!" Tsuna quickly said from the top of the head.

"Ohhh? Really?" Kyoko said interested in that idea. She smiled as she thought that Tsuna was personally going to give her a gift. He was truly a sweet and nice guy she thought.

"Oooh, Tsuna! SO daring! You're really going to make some girls fall in love with you for sure!" Haru winked at Tsna to try to hint at the two girls standing in front of him.

"H-Haru!" Kyoko said flustered at Haru who laughed as Kyoko got onto her. Tsuna didn't really get what she meant though. Gokudera and Yamamoto shook their heads as they couldn't believe their boss was suffering from dense main character syndrome.

"Well, I guess we'll have to wait until later then Kyoko...Oh! Tsuna you arealso have to give something to Yuni and Chrome as well right?" Haru said as she remembered those two

"EHHH!? Them too? I mean...oh...of course..." Tsuna said, flabbergasted at what Haru said.

"Yeah...sorry Tsuna-kun.." Kyoko said shyly. "They looked down about not getting anything today...so I assured them that a special guy would give them something so...I wanted to ask if you could be kind enough to give them something as well. But I should've known a kind guy like you would've of already thought about them!"

"Oh...yeah totally...I don't mind, I mean...I thought of giving them something too as well... after all!" Tsuna couldn't believe the BS that was coming out of his mouth.

"Good! Thank you so much Tsuna-kun, you truly are a kind person..." She said with a smile looking away from him.

"Oh no...you're the kind person here Kyoko..." Tsuna said shyly back to her with a smile as the two blushed at seeing each other. HAru felt some jealousy rile up in her along with Gokudera for some creepy reason.

"OKAY! Well let's go Kyoko!" Haru pulled on her arm quickly as Kyoko waved goodbye to Tsuna who waved back at her while staring at her.

"Sigh...you're really ogling her pretty hard Tsuna," Yamamoto said with a laugh as he patted him on the back. "So..what are you going to get the four of them?"

"Uhh...I-I don't know!" Tsuna sighed as he gave up right there.

"Leave it to me Tenth!" Gokudera exclaimed proudly.

"You got chocolates Gokudera-kun?" Tsuna asked happily with hope!

"Hell no! We're going to make them!" Gokudera exclaimed as he dragged Yamamoto and Tsuna to the home economics room. Tsuna got himself dragged into another crazy situation. And the three began working on making chocolates over and over...and over...and over again...-

"Dammit Yamamoto! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Gokudera yelled at Yamamoto who laughed as he didn't understand what to do.

"Huh? Isn't this right?" He asked Gokudera.

"No! Have you ever eaten chocolate with a watermelon in it? Get that shit out of here!"

-...and over...and over until clubs were starting to go home. But they finally completed some chocolates and even made cards to go with them.

"Phew...we finally finished Tenth. Now those girls can't complain. You almost done writing those cards Tenth?" Gokudera asked Tsuna.

Tsuna had decided to not do this half-heartedly and actually take the time to write all four of them meaningful cards. One for each of them, and he tried to be different with his words for all four of them. In his high school life, the four of them have been a big help to Tsuna and been great friends to him. They all deserved kindness today. Gokudera and Yamamoto wrapped their chocolates in heart shaped boxes along with the cards Tsuna wrote. They both had to leave so they left it to Tsuna to handle the gifts but really they just didn't want to do something embarrassing like a girl chocolates.

First, Tsuna found Chrome and Yuni sitting on the bench outside of school. Both wearing the school uniform and talking on the bench. But they both looked very sad and Chrome was crying, perhaps they truly were down about not receiving any chocolate? But Tsuna doesn't get why not since they're both great girls. He assumed they would both be popular. Regardless he walked over to them and said hello

"B-boss? W-what are you...doing here?" Chrome said shyly as she wiped the tears forming her eyes.

"Ah, hello Tsuna-kun." Yuni said softly with a saddened look. Tsuna walked in front of them and handed them both heart shaped boxes, a purple one for Chrome and an orange one for Yuni.

"Hey guys, happy White Day to the both of you." Tsuna said with a smile. They both looked at each other, and Chrome's expression changed quickly as she looked up to Tsuna. She looked a lot more cheery when she noticed this kind gesture.

"You made these...for us?" Chrome said gently as she eyed the box. Yuni and Chrome remarked how cute and splendidn the craftsmanship was, courtesy of Gokudera himself!

"Yeah..well not just me..Yamamoto-san and Gokudera-kun helped make them too. But the cards inside are just from me. So go on and open them, this is a day for you girls right? So might as well enjoy it." Tsuna said smiling big. Chrome with innocent eyes opened up the box and saw all the different shaped chocolates and the card inside. She then looked over to Yuni who smiled back at her.

"I told you didn't I, Chrome? Tsuna will save us all in some way...he always will." Yuni said happily as she opened her box up and plopped a chocolate in her mouth. "Not bad at all. Thank you very much Tsuna!"

"Huh..oh...thanks. It took us a long time finish," Tsuna said as he laughed, Chrome just eyed that box she received. She wasn't used to these acts of kindness and this kindness alone almost eased the pain of what happened to her. She couldn't talk about it to Tsuna, even though she wanted to.

"T-thank you...B-boss...thank you a lot..." Chrome said with a huge smile on her face.

"No problem Chrome-san! Well I gotta give these other two to Haru and Kyoko. Enjoy you two!" Tsuna then marched across the field to the school building to find Haru or Kyoko. Tsuna didn't realize the effect that small act of kindness truly had on both Yuni and Chrome. Or how much the words Yuni said...would be a scar on his back later when Chrome's tears would symbolize the pain and hope that comes like rain. And Yuni's words would only be a false promise...Chrome whose abusive relationship with her boyfriend had made her cry from pain and suffering. Yuni, who had lost hope as her world was crashing down on her wanted to believe in Tsuna. They both began reading their cards...

He found Haru first in a child development class packing up her stuff. She was about to leave, and Tsuan was thankful she caught up to her.

"Ah, there you are Haru," Tsuna proclaimed handing her a yellow box. Haru's eyes widened when she looked at the box and smiled big at it.

"Awhh..this is so cute!" She hugged Tsuna quickly making him blush slightly at it. "Did you give Chrome and Yuni one as well?" Haru asked Tsuna.

"Yeah...I just gave them theirs. By the way Gokudera and Yamamoto helped make them so be sure to thank them too," Tsuan remembered to add in.

"Yes!" She said with a huge smile. "Oh? There's a card inside?"

"Yeah, it's from me to you Haru. Just some kinds words is all, I think I got really mushy with all of the cards. I'm glad the guys didn't read them haha..." Tsuna said nervously.

"Wow...you really put your heart into this...I'm grateful Tsuna...I wish I can do something really big for you one day..." Haru said as she placed the card against her heart with a smile.

"Big...?" Tsuna asked curiously.

"Yeah...something you will really need my help for you know? Something that will allow me to really show you my stuff!" Haru said as she put on a silly face and flexed her muscles. Tsuna couldn't help but laugh from her silliness.

"Hmm, I'm sure one day you will but you don't need to pay me back. Why would I ever need you do something huge for me? Just be happy Haru. Don't worry about me. Well I'll find Kyoko now! See ya! Happy White Day!" And before Haru could protest Tsuna was out the door eager to give Kyoko her gift.

She sighed and said, "...how could you tell me not to worry about you...dummy...someone will have to..when I disappear from your life..." Haru sighed as she finished packing her stuff. Tsuna wouldn't see Haru for the next two months since that day due to her moving not too soon after without a word. Only coming back for the last day of school, where her heart was broken by hearing Tsuna's words to Kyoko...and he wouldn't see her for five years since then. Haru began reading her card from Tsuna...

Tsuna ran around the whole school looking for Kyoko. He had no idea where she was at all. He hoped she hadn't left the school already and headed home. He went outside the school and the clubs were all nearly gone. He then looked at the rooftop and saw Kyoko with some figure. He then ran back inside and all the way to the stairs to the rooftop. Before he opened the door at the top of the stairs leading up to it, he heard what he thought was fighting.

"...You...Bastard...you did this to me!"

"Ain't my fault babe! I didn't know! You shouldn't get so mad at me!"

"Get...out of here! I don't ever want to speak to you again!" Tsuna heard Kyoko shout to some guy. That guy came through the door, and though Tsuna can't recall his face now. It wasn't that of a good one at all, he looked like some thug who brushed Tsuna to the side as he ran down the stairs. Quickly he ran through the door to see Kyoko sobbing on the railings.

"K-Kyoko? Are you okay?" Tsuna shouted as he ran over to her. Kyoko's head rose up quickly and she didn't look at Tsuna but instead wiped her eyes.

"Oh...h-hello Tsuna-kun..." She tried to force a smile as she looked at Tsuna now still teary eyed.

"What's wrong? Did that guy hurt you?" Tsuna yelled as he turned to the staircase ready to chase after him.

"No, no! It's fine..he...was...umm..." She tried to find the words to tell Tsuna something but Tsuna didn't want a lie.

"You said...he did something to you? What did he do to you Kyoko-chan?" Tsuna asked concerned as he put a hand on her shoulder.

"He umm...put chocolate all over me..." She pointed to the chocolate on her shirt that Tsuna didn't even notice at first.

"What? Why did he do that?" Tsuna asked in confusion.

"Umm...I guess because I rejected him on Valentine's Day...it's no biggy though. Just chocolate..." She said wiping her eyes sighing of relief when Tsuna seemed okay with that answer.

"Well...I hope you don't hate chocolate because..." He then handed her a pink box. "Happy...W-white day..Kyoko..." Tsuna said shyly as she took the box and looked inside. Tsuna was surprised at himself for having the confidence to do this four times today. He had grown a lot from his middle school days for sure.

"For...me? You did this for me?" She said very surprised at this kind gesture.

"Well..not just me but-" Tsuna was stopped as Kyoko quickly embraced Tsuna with all of her heart. Tears falling from her face onto Tsuna who didn't know what to about all of this. "K-Kyoko-chan..?"

"I knew you were a really great guy Tsuna...truly...a great person..." She said softly as Tsuna slowly felt that it would be right to hug her now right? She wouldn't mind? He slowly moved his arms over to Kyoko's back and tested to see if she would be okay. He wrapped them around her after she showed no sign of caring...but wanting him to. The two held each other for as long as Kyoko's heart desired.

"Umm...you can...let go if you want Kyoko..." Tsuna said after a while thinking she might have wanted to be let go of yet.

"No! I'm not...done yet...!" She said with a smile and her eyes closed. Tsuna sighed, but he truly didn't mind since he was holding the girl he felt much closer too because of that moment.

"Tsuna...can I read my card now?" Kyoko looked up to Tsuna and asked kindly.

"Yeah...go ahead..." Tsuna said, sad she let go of him and then opened up her box. She pulled out a card and began reading it. And the first line after Dear and the person's name on every card the girls received said this. "I will always be by your side so don't ever give up!"

The day seemed so normal to Tsuna, maybe a bit out of the usual with having to do something like that for the girls. But five years later, Tsuna can only see that day as a sign, a sign he should've noticed. That day is one of his many painful memories...because in the end. The only person who was truly happy that day was Tsuna...while everybody else on White Day. A day meant to be pure and loving...was in the end, heartbreaking.

PRESENT DAY

"Tsuna! Let's go! We got things to do!" Haru shouts at Tsuna who was day dreaming on the couch.

"Oh? Right...sorry...let's go...Keiko!" Tsuna calls out to Keiko dressed in a small pink hoodie and blue jeans with pink shoes.

"Okay papa!" She said as she waddles over to Tsuna who picks her up. She then wraps her arms around Tsuna's neck and she rides on his back piggy back style.

"Ready to go you two? Got a long day ahead of us!" Haru opens up the door where the morning sun beams down on them.

"Yeah...I'll fulfill my promise for real this time...I won't let anyone down again..." Tsuna mumbled. "Watch Reborn...I will stay committed to my responsibilities...one by one..."

Thus Tsuna's painful past becomes his inspiration to do the things he must do. He vows to himself to stay by Haru's side and be a good parent to Keiko. But not only that, other promises came to his attention now...that he swears he will take care of with this new strength that was gifted to him by a small child...

A girl who truly understands pain...

A girl who had lost nearly all her hope...

A girl who could not win with love...

And a girl...who didn't understand her own heart...

All four of these girls built a bond with a certain person...and under the sky...these bonds will connect them all forever.
