The Journal of Memories

Event 05: I Don't Like Her.

Next to the large sign that said "Acorn Daycare" were Tsuna and Li standing side-by-side, holding hands, as they stared at the woman in front of them.

She had silky blonde hair that was pulled back with a pink clip and glittering blue oval-shaped eyes. Her pink full lips were pulled up in a smile that showed off her pearly whites.

Tsuna's light-brown eyes widened as he blushed and shuffled behind Li before giving a timid smile back.

She wore a smooth white dress with a pink jacket over it and yellow sandals. Her smile redirected itself towards the other child.

Li's dark-brown eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms over her chest and gave her signature caret-like frown.

The woman's smile faltered a bit before it was forced back out as she asked, "So, what are your names?"

Her voice was quite beautiful with a light soprano tone to it.

Li turned her head to the side and closed her eyes before stating, "We don't wanna tell ya."

Pink lips tightened for a second before resuming their smile as the woman asked, "What if I told you my name first?"

"Iyada." The dark brunette responded quite stubbornly before tightening her grip on the light brunette's hand and tugging him towards her.

Tsuna gave his best friend a confused look before whispering softly, "What's wrong?"

Li merely shook her head and glared at the older female who sighed and straightened up to look exasperatedly at the two women behind the children.

Fang gave a small smirk of amusement as Nana laughed softly behind her hand at the blonde's expression.

The soccer mom shook her head before shooing the woman away, "Give us a moment with them, Satou-sensei."

"Of course…" The blonde nodded before walking away as the two mothers crouched down to the children's level.

"What's that all about?" The black-haired woman questioned though her dark-brown eyes twinkled playfully.

Li whirled around and huffed at her mother while wrinkling her nose, "I don't like her."

Nana smiled at the young girl before prodding gently, "Why is that, Kyuu-chan?"

The gender-bender relaxed at hearing the familiar nickname before tensing with furrowed brows as she thought about the blonde again.

Fang hummed a bit at her daughter's expression before standing up and joking aloud, "Could it be jealousy?"

Li growled at the word while shaking her head furiously before glaring upwards at her mother, "That's not it!"

A gentle tug from the light brunette brought Li's attention to Tsuna as he gazed curiously at her with wide eyes.

Li faltered in her glare before turning away to stare daggers at a poor random tree and grumbling under her breath.

"Eh?" Nana looked confused as Fang raised an eyebrow and crouched back down to their level, "What was that?"

The dark brunette huffed at having to repeat herself but complied.

"She looks like an evil squirrel lady of doom."

(Extended Ending)

Nana placed an index finger on her bottom lip as she thought, "Really?"

"You didn't notice?" Fang mused as she raised an eyebrow at her friend before raising both in surprise when Nana and Tsuna shook their head simultaneously.

The Sasaki members deadpanned at their obliviousness before answering.

"Her cheeks keep puffing out when she smiles."
