The Journal of Memories

Event 06: Let's Be Friends!

Li pouted to herself as Nana and Fang left for their downtime at the Glacé Spa.

Not only did those two women have the nerve to leave the kids at Acorn Daycare, they also gave their names to the evil squirrel lady of doom!

Now, the brunettes were doomed to be surrounded by annoying midgets along with the evil squirrel lady of doom.

Li closed her eyes and sighed as her shoulders slumped before opening her right eye and glancing backwards at Tsuna.

The shy brunette clung tightly onto Li's jacket while alternating his gaze from the closed black gates to the other kids around them.

The gender-bender ran her left hand through her spiky locks before using her other hand to ruffle Tsuna's hair, "Come on, Tsuna-Fish. Let's check this prison out."

Tsuna hesitated before nodding slowly and releasing his iron grip on the girl's shirt, only to reach for Li's right hand to hold.

Li grinned as her initial irritation began to fade before looking around and spotting someone who stood out amongst the annoying ones.

Tugging her best friend with her, the gender-bender began to make her way to a red-haired boy surrounded by colorful building blocks and no one else.

"Hello, Person-Who-Reminds-Me-Of-Christmas-Because-Of-His-Hair-And-Eyes!" The dark brunette greeted as she plopped down in front of the green-eyed boy and pulled Tsuna onto her lap, "I'm Sasaki Li! And this-" She paused to hug the light brunette tightly, "-is my best friend, Tsuna-Fish!"

"I-It's Sawada T-Tsunayoshi!" Tsuna squeaked out the correction and flushed red at the sudden embrace making Li grin widely and flash her sharp canines.

The red-head gave a nervous smile and bowed lowly (nearly tipping over in the process), "U-Um.. My name is Irie Shouichi."

The gender-bender couldn't help but notice the immediate similarities between her best friend and new friend as she chirped happily, "Ja! I'm Li. Tsuna-Fish is Tsuna. And I'll call you Shou! Let's be friends!"

"E-Eh?" Shouichi yelped in surprise at the abrupt declaration, "B-But I-!"

Li merely grabbed the red-head and pulled him into her embrace while giving an easygoing smile, "There! Now we're friends!"

"EEEH?"

"HIIIII?"

Came two baffled shouts that were soon muffled as the dark brunette began to cuddle with the flustered boys.

Author's Note:

I have to say: I am surprised, but happy, that people actually took the time to review so...

*Gin Nanashi bows lowly and humbly.*

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

To be honest: I only started writing The Journal of Memories for my own entertainment after I started watching Katekyo Hitman REBORN! about a month ago.

My main purpose is to make the relationship between my original character, Sasaki Li, and Sawada Tsunayoshi (along with other characters, such as Irie Shouichi) as fluffy and cute as possible and I believe that the innocence and youth of childhood best allows me to reach this point.

Thus, the one-shots concerning Li's and Tsuna's teenage days won't come until much later (or until if I decide that I've exhausted my ideas for the childhood arc).

Currently, I have several more chapters typed, but I have yet to proofread them so I won't upload them yet.

Since this chapter is short, however, I plan on uploading chapter seven sometime within the next eight hours (most likely, it'll be up before 10PM, Eastern Time).

Once again, thank you very much and I hope that you continue enjoying what I enjoy writing.
