Well guys, we got the next chapter! Now I'm starting to get spooked as I write this story guys! Things involving the Mothers and the story happen to me in real life. So I'm starting to get afraid of what will happen next to me as I write this story...but its inspiration all the same. On a special note, regarding Haruka's age, I said before she was six when I intended to say she was five. Pardon my mistake. Also the editing and proofreading is done by Cuddles 8059 and Hibari Kyoya Lover 18! Thanks you two! Be sure to check them out as well! Anyway here is chapter seven of Under the Sky which is long... sorry :D!

After Tsuna and Haru settle in on their lives together with Keiko, Nagi and her child come for a visit. On that same day Keiko has to get her "first" shot and they meet their very crazy ramen loving doctor. Keiko becomes distressed and fears getting a shot, but Nagi is the one to calm her down and make everything okay for her. Nagi and Tsuna reminisce after many years about what happened in the past and become closer with Nagi's true intent being, lying about her love for Tsuna. Now Haru and Nagi are unknowingly love rivals...

It's been a week since the day at the hospital where Keiko had to get her shots done. Ever since then, Nagi and Nagisa had been frequently visiting Tsuna and Haru. Every morning as soon as Haru made breakfast, Nagi would knock on the door and Tsuna would already know who it was and open it for her to come in. Haru had gotten used to placing plates for two more and even setting up a bed for two more as occasionally, throughout the week Nagi and Nagisa would stay over too long or it was raining and they had to stay the night. It was on these rainy days that Haru felt her happiness be washed away with the rain. She didn't hate Nagi, and she was an especially close friend to her, but she spends a lot of time here and she is always especially close to Tsuna. While Haru did the chores she did like usual, she would often look over her shoulder to see Nagi and Tsuna playing with Nagisa and Keiko. She wanted to join in too but she had work to do, Tsuna noticed this, as perceptive as he is and offered every time to help her do the chores. But Haru told him it was fine and wanted him to continue playing with Keiko and Nagisa.

"It's not like I'm her real mom anyway..." Haru thought to herself one day. "She wouldn't let me play with her even if I didn't have work to do. I'm simply her care taker officially... It's my job to ensure she lives in a safe and engaging environment. Where the only thing that she has to be worried about is growing up and being a kid." Given that the apartment isn't so big and there wasn't that many chores to do, Haru still worked twice as hard to cook the meals and clean the house. Especially now that there was pretty much two more people living here. She doesn't know much about Nagi and Tsuna, except that Nagi was a mist guardian to Tsuna. She truly didn't know much about Nagi or her past. Though she felt there was something sad about her life and it was connected to Tsuna. Call it a mother's intuition even though Haru wasn't a real mother, but she felt like one. It was at times like this she wished Kyoko was here. She often wishes Kyoko was here as do Tsuna and Nagi.

However Haru was the closest to Kyoko, she knew everything about her and she knew everything about Haru. The pain of losing your best friend, Haru had to cope with that through the time since her passing. If she ever wanted to cry, she had no one to call. If she ever wanted to let her body loose on sweets with somebody who wouldn't judge her or pester her about weight, she had no body. There were times when it was so hard for her, she wanted to break down and cry. But she had to be tough. Not for her sake, for Tsuna's. She knew how much he loved her, and how much he would have had to suffer because she couldn't cope with the loss.

Even now she still feels Tsuna suffering, though he doesn't show it, he is good at hiding his pain. But pain is shown in different ways, the house he lived in for five years that is as gloomy as his heart. It was depressing to walk in here at first, but recently it definitely looks better and brighter with Haru fixing the place up and keeping it clean yet it still feels gloomy. That's how Haru gauges Tsuna's heart, with the house he lives in, until the house looks bright and happy. That's when she knows he is truly happy. But now with Nagi here, it seems to be looking that way. She would look over to Nagi who though, was somewhat reserved about her feelings, would smile so beautifully to Haru. Haru began to compare herself to Nagi, both as a mother and a woman.

When they were both washing the dishes one night, she remembers looking at Nagi and examining her body. Haru felt she had beaten her in terms of being a woman. Haru surely had bigger womanly assets than Nagi and she felt she was quite cute though not in a conceited way. Though Haru admitted, Chrome was quite beautiful. Her cuteness she had when she was younger had developed into a true beauty, almost angelic. Though Haru tried not to consider this as she felt that may make her feel like she's just an average girl in terms of looks. Though more and more, she felt she was just an average girl. Average appearance, average personality, average everything.

And when she compared herself to Nagi as a mother, it wasn't up for debate to her. Nagi was great with kids; she could handle both Nagisa and Keiko with ease. Keiko actually liked her, and didn't try to keep Nagi and Tsuna apart. Keiko would still pull harsh pranks on Haru like stealing her underwear and running around with it or hitting Haru whenever she tried to touch her. Nagisa shied away from Haru as well but she didn't hate Haru. Nagi was just... such a wonderful mother. She loved her daughter very much and took good care of her. Nagisa was a weak child much like Chrome was physically without her organs. However in her case she had asthma, and had to take breathing treatments everyday to help her out. Haru could not bring herself to hate Nagi in any way; she didn't want to hate another best friend of hers. She sighed, for she already lost her best friend. And when she looks at Tsuna, she felt she was going to lose another best friend... and the guy of her dreams.

At the end of the week, on November 20th, a Saturday, Nagi had once again come over, and Haru quickly endowed herself in her work she had to do. Nagi quickly offered to play a game with Tsuna and the children. Tsuna looked to Haru and refused. He then grabbed Haru by the arm suddenly and pushed her and Nagi out the door with Keiko and Nagisa.

"W-what are you doing, Tsuna? I have work to do!" Haru tried to break free from Tsuna's grip but she could not face his strength and Nagi also protested saying she rather spend time with everyone inside.

"Sorry Haru... Nagi but I think you girls need to spend some time together." Nagi and Haru looked at each other in confusion not seeing why they had to spend time together with Keiko and Nagisa too at that.

"Papa! I have to go with icky girl and Nagi?" Keiko said somewhat sad she has to go with Haru.

"I'M ICKY GIRL NOW!?" Haru shouted as she grabbed Keiko's cheeks furiously but playfully as the two of them went out. Nagisa tried to play the peace maker in-between them; but failed miserably as she was simply tossed aside by a gentle tap to her face by Keiko. She fell to the ground dramatically and gave up in defeat, all in ten seconds. Nagi moved her focus from them to look at Tsuna attentively. "Is...Something the matter... Tsuna?" Haru asked.

"No...I'm fine. But Haru, you have been working very hard lately and you haven't had much time to spend with the children or Nagi and I know you two were close friends before. I'm grateful for having you two around but I believe it's important for you two to spend time together as well. So I got this from a circle at my university."

Tsuna rummaged around in his pockets for a moment before pulling out some tickets and handed them to Nagi. Curiously Haru popped her head over Nagi's shoulder to see what it was. And to her surprise, she saw they were all bathhouse tickets reserved for tonight. "Girl's night out!" the title read. "All girls get in for free tonight! All ages welcomed!"

"Wow! A s-spa?" Haru's body felt like a cloud as she read those words. Her body was sore from chores and taking baths with Keiko, who liked to pinch to touch. It definitely was stressful on her body. She desperately needed to go to a bathhouse to soak her body in. She looked to Nagi who she thought would be displeased with the idea but Nagi smiled at her. She welcomed the idea of spending time with Haru. But Nagi noticed there were five tickets instead of four. "Tsuna? Why are there five tickets...oh!"

Nagi's face turned a deep pinkish red. Haru thought she was sick from how she blushed, she never seen somebody's whole face turn pink like that. "So... it's... like that... you... and the four of us..." Nagi's had a weakness when it came to..."indecent" things. Some may say it's due to her past, but in reality she was always scared and weak to such dirty things. The sheer thought about made her shy and self-conscious of her own body.

"Huh?" Tsuna said confused by Nagi. "No I'm not coming; it's for girls only tonight. That fifth ticket is for a little friend of Haru's who asked to come. I saw her on my way home from school and she desperately wanted to come." Tsuna said laughing as he noticed the very person walking up the steps. Haru and Nagi turn around with Keiko to see Haruka.

"Haru!" She yells out as she runs up to hug Haru. Haru, surprised at Haruka being here, was skeptical at first of bringing her along too but she did promise to spend time with her soon so, she asked Nagi if another child wouldn't be too much trouble. Nagi of course said it was fine, and once Haru got her things together. The girls were out the door with Tsuna happily waving them goodbye. Once they were gone, Tsuna turned back to his house that was now desolate.

"Alone again..." He said as he went to sit on the couch and watch some television. He hasn't been alone for a while, and being reminded of his loneliness only depressed him. So he had the idea to keep him preoccupied by doing the things Haru would normally do. However, we will get back to that disaster waiting to happen eventually.

Haru and Nagi didn't talk so much as Tsuna might have hoped they would. They spoke of little things like children and television shows that would good for them to watch. Haru mostly talked with Haruka who was eager to speak with her and Nagisa talked and catered to Keiko and Nagisa. They had some time before the event for girl's night actually began. So they decided to walk around and show the children the sights. Eventually Nagi noticed that Nagisa needed a diaper change and so they stopped at a nearby restaurant for Nagi to use the bathroom, leaving Haru with Haruka and Keiko outside to wait. Keiko looked nervously at Haruka who was focused on Haru but moved her attention to Keiko.

The two girls looked at each other for a moment.

"Ah hello, I'm Keiko!" Keiko said proudly putting out her arm to Haruka. Haruka looked at it for a moment then took her hand enthusiastically.

"Hi, I'm Haruka."

"Hawuka..?" Keiko said trying to say her name correctly. "No no. Ha-ru-ka. Like that you see?" She mouthed each word slowly for Keiko to understand easily.

"Ha...wu...wu...RU..ka!" Keiko smiled enthusiastically when she pronounced the sound correctly. The two girls then quickly became friends just like that. The two then began to talk about things that children do at first. They asked what they like and dislike, their favorite foods, and favorite shows. Haru looked at the two was felt reminded on how easily it was for her and Kyoko to become friends. It seems as if it happened like fate that the two of them would be best friends...funny she thinks to herself. "If it wasn't for Tsuna... we wouldn't of have become friends... and it's because of Tsuna again that these two girls became friends. Though I wish towards the end...they don't end up fighting... like we did." Haru sighed to herself recalling bad memories just as a bad incident happened before her eyes.

"Hmm Keiko! Do you like that man that's with you a lot?" Keiko at first was confused by her suddenness in asking but replied happily. "Yup! He's my papa! I wuv hum bunches!" Keiko held out her arms wide and big to demonstrate her love for Tsuna.

"Ah! Your papa? Then...what about your mommy? Where is she?" Haru stood frozen at the question Haruka just asked Keiko. Haruka of course didn't know anything about Keiko's mom or her real dad. It was an innocent question in nature, but alas it was truly a bad question to ask. However, Keiko didn't respond in the way Haru expected her too. But that made the whole thing that much sadder.

"Oh, mommy? Well she's busy right now with work! She was always busy!" Keiko said cheerfully as she hummed a tune.

"Ah? Is that so Keiko?"

"Yup! But you'll get to see mommy soon! Last time I saw her she umm...she told me that she would be back soon yup. She told me that she was going to be out for a bit and would come back to get me! Mommy never lies so she will see me soon. Though I miss her...she is taking her time..."

"Oh I see...maybe she's getting you a really nice toy! You said your birthday is next month right? Oh maybe she got you a lot of princess stuff!" Haruka said enthusiastically as Keiko got her hopes up thinking honestly her mother was just preparing a big surprise for her. Haru covered her mouth as she heard Keiko say those things. She couldn't stop herself from crying and hid her face in her arms and tried to wipe away the tears that were coming down. Nagi and Nagisa then came out and Nagi noticed Nagisa crying. She looked at the pocket watch she had in her pocket which she had pulled out with her free arm. "Hey girls! You hungry? Let's get something to eat inside okay?"

Haruka, Keiko, and Nagisa, who copied Keiko and Haruka, threw their firsts in the air and shouted "Yeah!" as Keiko and Haruka walk inside the restaurant. Nagi turns to Haru and puts a hand on her shoulder and asks Haru what's wrong. Haru tells her what Keiko and Haruka said, Chrome covers her mouth as she gasped at what Haru told her. Chrome looked through the glass door to Haruka and Keiko who playfully chased each other in the lobby in front of the counter where you go to get a table.

"Haru... let's talk about this later okay?" Nagi said sympathetically towards Haru. Haru nods knowing she shouldn't cry in front of Keiko or any of the children. She wipes away her tears with a handkerchief from Nagi's pocket. The two women then go inside to eat dinner before heading to the bathhouse. Meanwhile Tsuna was attempting to MAKE dinner at his house. He knew he was hopeless, he knew he wasn't great at much of anything. But he was terrible. He burnt five packs of ramen, oatmeal, and even managed to burn a PB&J sandwich. He failed to make any sort of food that came from a box with instructions on it, and somehow made ice cream too spicy. Tsuna started to see how Haru had her work cut out for her, even though he wasn't even making the meals she would. "How hard... does Haru truly work for me.." Tsuna sighed as she decided to go out and get something from the convenience store.

As the time to enter the bath house for girl's night out came. The girls entered the bathhouse at the time the event started. Once inside the lobby, they went to receptionist area where Nagi offered to get everything set up for them. Haruka and Keiko looked around to see the many girls and women that were around, some in towels as they walked around the bath.

"There is so many pretty women here right Keiko?" Haruka said enthusiastically as she looked at all the women. Haruka, Keiko and perhaps even Nagisa, were amazed with the girls who were older than they were. They treasured the idea that one day they will look just like that, they'll be doing the things these women will do. The idea of being an adult woman which was so far away from them, upset them. Haru simply laughed at their eagerness to grow up and be a grown woman. Not knowing how as a child we can't wait to grow up, but when we become adults, we only wish to be a kid again. One's childhood determines one's future, and serves as a threshold for many things in our lives. Haru wishes to make good memories for Keiko Haruka, and Nagisa too. Once everything was set and done they went into the changing room to undress. Normally the men's room would obviously be off limits but since its girls only tonight, both rooms could be used. The girls' room was crowded so they entered the men's which, was less crowded.

Once inside, Nagi first began to help Nagisa undress before she took off her own shirt. Haru took her shirt off and noticed Keiko and Haruka looking shyly around.

"What's the matter you two? You can't go in the bath with your clothes on." Haru said kneeling down to speak eye to them.

"Umm... I'm sorta shy about getting naked Haru..." Haruka said simply as she held onto her clothes tightly but Keiko grabbed her hand and agreed with her. They were both shy to undress.

"Ah, there's nothing to be shy about. Were all girls here with the same bodies, nothing you see or they will see will come as a surprise to them." Nagi came over and said to the both of them.

"But... I'm sorta shy about this area of my body..." Keiko said rubbing her chest area. Nagi and Haru look at each other and almost want to give out a big laugh but they hold it in.

"Oh Keiko..." Haru said. "There is nothing wrong with your body, eventually you will grow in all the right places... like your mother. You'll grow up to be just like her, heck maybe even more beautiful than her." Haru smiled at Keiko who smiled enthusiastically at the idea of being just like her mommy. But Haruka examined her body than examined Haru and Nagi's.

"But... aren't you two still growing too? Your boobs are tiny." She said simply as Nagi and Haru felt the pain they haven't felt in a long time. Since high school? Middle School? Those horrid days of being flat or small chested as girls around them grew watermelons and they grew apples.

"It... doesn't... matter... OKAY!?" Nagi says grabbing onto Haruka with a smile but Haruka felt the true feelings behind Nagi's smile. Dark and... sad? Keiko and Haruka undressed easily after that but now a saddened Haru and Nagi found it hard to undress themselves... but eventually they did and once they were all wrapped in towels. They entered the bath, and the children were all excited as this was all their first time at a bathhouse. There was a huge bath that took up most of the space with mirrors on the side for personal use with buckets and towels as well. There were stools set up for one to use as well and faucets set in the walls. Gossip and other various things filled the air as the chatty women spoke with one another. Laughing, yelling, talking, and just having fun. There was a sense of kindness and freshness when you went in the bathhouse. Wasn't any negativity and though there may be hints of envy, the women would offer to help clean one another and wash one's back.

"Bath... house..." Nagisa mumbled in amazement.

"Ah, you're saying more words Nagisa-chan!" Haruka cheered for Nagisa enthusiastically. Nagi and Haru took a spot for themselves in the main bath along with the children. Nagi kept Nagisa at arm's length but let her take her time enjoying the bath with Haruka and Keiko who splashed around and played. They had a whole corner to themselves in the big bath and when you looked up, there was a skylight where one could see the night sky. Being under the sky like this was rejuvenating for Haru and Nagi. It seemed they all shared something, even Tsuna. They felt at times they were in harmony with the sky itself. The night which was calm and filled with bright stars gave the two women hope with wishful thinking about their desires and goals with one being one and the same.

"Haru..." Nagi said with her eyes closed as she let her body seep deeper in the water spreading and stretching her legs and arms under the water. Haru also relaxed her body in the same manner but sat with one leg over the other and stared deeply into the sky almost not hearing Nagi call her name. "Yeah... Nagi?"

"Why do you think Tsuna really wanted us to spend time together? You don't think he may be... slipping into his old habits do you?" Nagi was worried that Tsuna may be trying to sink to being a loner again and was going to isolate himself once more.

"Hmm... no... I don't think that's Tsuna's goal. You see... Tsuna always puts others before himself you know. He is probably genuinely concerned about our friendship. He cares deeply for others, and is willing to sacrifice anything for them you know? He's that kind of guy."

"Yeah..he is. You're right, it's silly me to ask that when I should know that already... Haru. Do you know what happened to me? Or ever wondered how I'm a mother at such a young age?" Nagi looked to Haru who was taken aback by Chrome asking her this. But Haru admitted she wondered but never thought to ask.

"I see... well... I guess 'Nagi'... is strong enough... to talk about 'Chrome' now. Chrome... was raped by Mukuro."

"You were... r-raped? Oh Nagi I'm so sorry... I-I didn't know you were..." Haru said with shock in her voice but kept her voice down so the other women and the children didn't hear her.

"It's fine Haru. I have moved on from that part of my life... that was a part of Chrome's story... Nagi's is a story of being a mother... but I remember that day clearly.

Nagi thought back to that day and began to explain parts of it to Haru. She remembers how Tsuna kicked down the door and saw her laying there all battered up, clothes ripped and tattered, her private areas in full view and was practically naked. She doesn't feel embarrassment from that thought for she knows she looked far from sexy with bruises and scars all over. Looking at her body in present day, those scars still remain as scars tend to do. But back then, she wasn't crying. "Chrome" was strong and didn't cry no matter what but when she saw Tsuna. She couldn't help but cry for he was the one to cry first. Some may say a man crying is a sign of weakness as boys are raised with that belief to be strong. But to Nagi if this is true, then when a man does cry it is because all the pain he is keeping inside can no longer be hidden. He must cry because there is so much sadness to let out. That's what she felt it was like for him and oddly, it was probably at that moment Nagi began to love Tsuna. Even though she was upset and very angry that Tsuna didn't come right away. She was the happiest girl alive when he came to her rescue and picked her up in his arms. He looked to Mukuro who was also in the room in a daze and Tsuna's eyes were in a pure rage screaming at Mukuro but she had to stop him. He would have done something Nagi knows she would regret. They left for the hospital immediately... and each day she would get flowers and notes from Tsuna and gradually fell in love with him realizing that even though he wasn't the first guy to be truly nice to her, his kindness... was far more real and genuine than any other.

"I see... once again I'm really sorry Nagi..." Haru said sighing.

"It's fine! Truly, I am somewhat grateful it happened, though I know that sounds crazy. I mean I'm only grateful for that bundle of innocence right there." Nagi and Haru looked to Nagisa who tried to paddle her way around cutely with Keiko and Haruka helping her bathe and play with her. "She's like Chrome... she has a weak body. Is shy and doesn't do well with others or acts of kindness... she seems to be just like the old me. But tell me Haru, what's the story behind that girl? She seems very attached to you."

Haru looked at Haruka and thought for a moment with her arms folded. "Well I would like to say it was a happy meeting but it was actually a troublesome one at first. She was a problem child really. At first she would always get into trouble with other kids in the daycare and none of the other ladies wanted to deal with her, so I had to. She didn't like me at first and I had trouble dealing with her, but one day when all the kids were being picked up. I saw that her parents were taking especially long and decided to ask her when her parents would come if she knew. But she told me...whenever they feel like it..."

"Whenever they feel like it? How could her parents be so uncaring about their daughter?" Nagi's mother mode was starting to act up.

"Exactly! I felt the same way, it was then I realized Haruka and I are similar. Though my parents weren't as bad as hers, they were still bad...a dad forcing his beliefs for my future on me and a mother who seems to not care that much. I told her about this and she started to see me as a different person. Somebody she can relate too, and we became closer. Really it's like I'm her mother with how much time we spent together. Often I would take her home with me and her parents wouldn't care at all even though I called them. They would only tell me they're fine with whatever. And so I came to take care of her..."

"I see...and it's funny. Looking at her, she does look an awful lot like you. I would believe it if you told me that you two were related. Though she is just like you in some ways. She's energetic, brash, and can be quite silly."

"Hey...I'm not silly! Silly things just happen to me!"

"You once thought Tsuna was a bad person and was harbouring children or something like that?" Nagi said with a giggle.

"N-no! M-maybe! Shut up!" Haru hit Nagi gently on the arm and the two girls laughed.

"But I guess you're right. She is a lot like me...but she is different from me. She can do the things I wish I could do, if she wants something she will go get it no matter what. And she is totally honest with her feelings unlike me..." Haru sighed as Nagi looked at her.

"Honest...with her feelings? Is there something you're keeping to yourself Haru?"

"Ah! W-well...there is something...but it's a secret! I only told one other person!" Haru blushed and became very withdrawn from Nagi.

"Hmm...you know I could create the illusion that you're naked in front of a bunch of men you know..."

"Ah! I forgot you can do illusions! No! Please don't do that! Even if I know it's an illusion I don't want to experience that!"

"Good." Nagi said with an innocent smile. "It's not good to keep secrets from your friend!"

"Yeah...especially an illusionist who will bully it out of you...but you have to tell me a secret too!" Haru got in her face and Nagi pulled away shyly.

"A s-secret...well...I have one...but I never told anybody..." Nagi blushed along with Haru at the thought of their secrets and they looked into each other's eyes.

"TOGETHER! ON THREE!" They both said at once and began to count. "One...two...three!"

And at the same time they uttered their biggest secret to one another that Keiko and Haruka heard along with a few people in the bath with them. What at first were just two friends talking casually and having fun would now be something much more...solemn. The words they both shared as they said at the same time.

"I love Tsuna!" Once these words were out in the open, the two girls stopped for a moment and looked at each other. Thinking about what they said in their mind, replaying it then coming to see this was reality. And Keiko moved herself over to Nagi and Haru followed by Haruka.

"So...you love...Papa...Nagi?" Keiko looked up to Nagi who looked at her then at Haru.

"Oh...umm..that's..." Nagi didn't know what to say and didn't know what position she was in at all. Keiko then directed her attention to Haru.

"And I alweady know you love Papa Haru...I heard you one night say it."

"Ah! You h-heard me?" Haru exclaimed covering her mouth.

"So you both love Papa...but...you have to stop loving him! You can't love papa! Because...Papa...belongs to my mommy! He's my papa and mommy loved papa very much!" Haru and Nagi's mind had an image of Kyoko and some memories between them came into their minds as well. They both began to feel bad, as if they had betrayed their close friend Kyoko. But Haruka coming to Haru's rescue pulled Keiko away with an angry face too.

"Hey! You can't tell them that! Love doesn't work that way! I'm happy Haru loves this Tuna guy or whatever! She can love who he wants as long as he's a nice guy so leave her alone!"

"No! I can't! Mommy loves Papa!"

"Your mommy? Even if your mommy loves him, it's not like he's your real dad!"

"Tsuna is my real dad! I have no other dad!" Haru and Nagi stopped for a moment as they hard Keiko say those words. Tsuna is her real dad...she honestly believes Tsuna is her real dad. That explains why she called him papa right from the start. But why would she believe Tsuna is her real dad...and not the one Kyoko married? But thinking of this only made Haru and Nagi scared...for they knew Kyoko was with Keiko her whole life. That would mean...Kyoko told her daughter that Tsuna was her real dad. But they stopped thinking about it to try to stop the two from fighting but ended up in a bigger fight with lots of commotion. Not noticing Nagisa, who was beginning to feel very scared of this..Nagi felt her daughter's fear and before she could do anything. Nagisa's eyes glowed purple with Mist flames and the minds of Keiko and Haruka were filled with a powerful illusion by Nagisa and the two girls fell asleep. Haru grabbed the both of them in her arms and looked to Nagi who frantically went to her daughter.

"What...was that?" Haru asked as she looked at Keiko and Haruka who were out cold.

"I...apologise...my daughter...is a gifted illusionist with great power. She owes that to who both her parents are after all...she can create illusions that affect the mind directly but would simply knock out the weak minded." Nagi petted Nagisa and calmed her down. "Her powers go wild whenever she is frightened or sees her close ones fight like just now...she truly is like me...sorry Haru. I think we should go now..."

Haru remembered Nagi's words and Keiko's. She would never forget the words they said as they all left the bath and dried off. Putting their clothes back on and heading for Tsuna's apartment. Nagi's home was far away and Haru offered her to stay there. All the children were asleep and Tsuna was too as he was a sleep on the couch they saw after Haru opened the door with a spare key Tsuna gave her. Haru saw the mess the place was and sighed that she had more work to do tomorrow. There was PB&J burnt to the ceiling...how did Tsuna mess up that badly she thought? The girls simply changed into their sleep wear and without a word they went to their beds, Nagi and Haru couldn't sleep as well as Tsuna did that night. For, his plan might have backfired on him...as Haru and Nagi clutched their chests. Their love for Tsuna is real, but their pain for Kyoko was just as real.

In the bathhouse they showed each other their true bare selves and revealed one's heart to another with no walls or anything to conceal them. And now that it is out in the open...how will they get along...they both thought that night.

"Papa... is mommy's... mommy will come for me soon..." Keiko mumbled to herself in her sleep and Nagi and Haru both heard this and cried themselves to sleep. A painful night indeed...

NEXT CHAPTER: The Four Bestfriends! A look in the past with Kyoko, Haru, Nagi, and Yuni!
