Hello! -memory, or so?

Hello! –normal

"You know, you could always share your problems to me. They say that if you tell someone your problems, you'd feel better." She said as she looked at him.

"What made you say I could tell you, herbivore." He said as his eyes narrowed. He doesn't have a problem. If he does, he knew he could immediately solve them. He was a carnivore, and something as petty as a problem couldn't deter him.

"We're friends, right?" he scoffed as he heard her answer. Friends? They are mere distractions, a weakness. But, hearing her say it, doesn't seem to be a bad idea.

She was about to say something again when she felt something cold and metal hit her head, though it wasn't really painful…much.

"Hey, what was that for?" he only smirked and turned.

"Problems that I have are none of your concern." He started walking away. "I merely do my own and I wish it to stay that way."

Breaking the hug, she couldn't help but see him more clearly now.

He had, after all these years, grown more like a man than his wimpy self from years ago as did the others. Thinking about this, made her saddened more than she is now. She had missed a lot from them.

"I missed you guys." She said. Tsuna smiled.

"And we missed you more, Lu." Happy smiles were exchanged as she wiped away her tears.

Tsuna, then looked at everyone.

"Now, why don't we go inside the living room? It is much more comfortable there than here, don't you think?"

~this _ is _ a _ line _ break~

Shiyo then looked at his mother, as they were heading towards the living room.

"Mom?" he suddenly asked, which had immediately caught Kyoko's attention. She immediately stopped and looked at him.

"What is it sweetie?" she asked. Shiyo looked at his siblings (though not blood related) and nodded before looking back to his mother.

"Mom, can we go and play in the garden, please?" he was taught that if he needed something, he need to be polite and say 'please'. Kyoko looked at him, then to the other children and smiled.

"Of course, sweetie. But, don't get too far from the garden, alright?" with a happy nod, Shiyo went to them and told them the great news. Kyoko couldn't help but giggle.

She looked forward to see Tsuna looking at her and smiling, before looking back in front again.

Entering the living room, maids immediately went and brought in some tea and snacks, in which they had immediately thanked them before they left. Placing down his tea cup, he looked towards his cousin, who seemed to be quiet for some time now.

"Lu, is something wrong?" he asked, worry clearly laced in his voice. Lucy began to blink a few times before looking at him.

"Oh? No, I'm fine. I'm just thinking about something." She answered and Tsuna frowned. He knew something was up, and he needed his intuition to tell him that. But, he remained silent, as he knew never to ask if she herself is still not ready to tell it.

"Oh, how is Fairy Tail?" he suddenly asked. Lucy's face brightened.

"The usual. Anyways, you've heard they had become members of Giglio Nero last year and yeah, that's all. How about you guys?"

~*~*~ line break~*~*~

Gamma grumbled a bit as he and Wendy came back from the outing they had outside.

"Welcome back! Ah, Wendy, Gamma, I see you have a lot? But, where's Lu-chan?" she asked. Wendy smiled as Gamma placed the boxes of cakes in the kitchen, Wendy helping him.

"Lucy hime? She went with the other ladies from the Vongola." She merely nodded and asked some people to help them from the things as seeing that there were more than what they had grabbed from the car outside.

Suddenly, Nozaru and Tozaru came in, and helped Gamma. In which, Gamma was a bit thankful for, but that didn't change the fact that they were almost laughing their asses off if he didn't glare at them. He sighed. Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrate.

Yuni Hime.

Weird. Why was she calling him? Did something happen? Where did she go anyway? Curious to where his mistress went, although he knew Loke was with her, he grumbled at that, he answered the phone.

~*~*~ line break ~*~*~

The doors slowly opened, and they were surprised to see Yuni entering. Whe did she left?

"When did you left the room?" Lucy began to ask as she looked at her. She smiled.

"Oh, I just went to the bathroom." She said. "And called someone." Now, Lucy was getting suspicious. She has a lot to suspect. Especially when it comes to the two (Yuni and Loke).

"Anyways, I never heard that the two of you are coming here. You could have told me earlier, I didn't mind." Lucy said. Yuni looked at her apologetically.

"I'm sorry, nee-chan. I just didn't know how to tell you. If I told you, you might have reacted much." She shrugged and looked at them until she met Tsuna's eyes.

"Ah, Tsuna-san, you wouldn't mind some other company, right?" Tsuna raised a brow but smiled at her and nodded.

"No, I wouldn't mind. But, if I may ask, who are they?" Yuni looked at all of them and to Loke, who nodded at her, which didn't go unnoticed by Lucy.

"What are you two planning?" her eyes narrowed a bit.

"Ah, nothing. It's just Gamma." There was something else that is amiss but he knew not to pry. But, he was curious. Is Gamma alone or with someone else?

~*~*~ line break ~*~*~

Gamma grumbled once again as he stood in front of the Vongola Mansion. He was surely getting a headache after this. It was a simple request by Yuni herself, but he was also thinking of the consequences he'd receive from the other hime. He just sighed rather deeply, making his companion look at him.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Gamma looked at the young ward he has. He sighed once again and rubbed his forehead.

Yes, he was clearly having a headache. He looked at the young child once again and smiled, ruffling her hair a bit.

"Yes, I'm fine. Now, let's go in shall we?" he said as he knocked on the door.

After a few seconds, the door opened and a stout man looked at him.

"Ah, sir Gamma, it's good to see you once again? Are you here to visit the others?" standing there was Giannini, as it seemed that the others were really busy today. Gamma could only look at him and nod.

"Yeah, I guess. Is Yuni-hime inside?" Giannini nodded.

"Yes, they're at the living room just around there. Just turn left for a bit and right and you're there." With a nod, they went not noticing the shocked look on the man's face.

~*~*~ line break ~*~*~

Suddenly, the chattering once again stopped as they heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Tsuna asked.

"Ah, young master, sir Gamma is here to see you." Yuni suddenly stood up.

"Ah, it seems Gamma is here, yes, tell him to enter." And the doors opened revealing Gamma, who bowed to them.

"Tsuna-san, Minna, hello." He greeted as he came inside.

"Ah, I see you came alone. I had thought Yuni told me we are expecting some visitors." Gamma raised a brow at the Vongola Don. Suddenly, he looked to his side to find his companion gone. He mentally cursed in his mind. He looked around and spotted Lucy looking at him, demanding to know what Yuni needs of, he sweat dropped. Suddenly, he broke his eyes off her and looked at the Vongola Don.

"Excuse me, but it seems I have lost my companion." Then Tsuna stood up, looking at his guardians and nodded.

"Then, can you tell me when you last saw him/her?"

"Well, she's about this tall," he motioned with his hands. "Has blonde hair and is-" suddnely, he was cut off when suddenly, someone past him. It was Lucy, and he clearly saw the worry on her face.

"Ah, it seems that we're looking for a young child, I presume?" he nodded. "Then, let us split up and search around the area. She may be lost in the hallways given that she's still a young child." And with a nod, they kept the search.

Kyoko, and the other ladies, with Yuni and Loke were left in the living room.

"So, who is this young child?" Haru began to ask.

"Is it your younger sibling?" a shook of head.

"Your child?" another shake of head.

"Then…" Chrome's eye widened. "Don't tell me…"

~*~*~ line break ~*~*~

A young girl looked around, searching for any signs of people around. Currently, she was walking on a long corridor inside and was looking around frantically. She was already on the verge of crying, given that she was walking aimlessly without anyone she knew in sight.

"Mom? Uncle?" she muttered but there were no response. Suddenly, her ears perked as she heard laughter coming from somewhere near her. Suddenly, following the sound, she came up to a small garden, and a few meters away were children playing. She couldn't help but look at them, feeling a little sad.

"Hey," she squeaked when she heard a voice. She looked to see a young boy with brown hair and auburn eyes, smiling at her. "My name's Shiyo, and you are?" he helled out a hand, and she shyly took it.

"Luka. Nice to meet you." She answered added with a cute smile. He smiled back.

"Ah, you must be a guest, right? Ne, you want to join us?" he asked. Luka looked at him and to the others.

"S-Sure…" she muttered quietly as she was dragged to the other were.

"Minna, she's Luka and she's here to play with us!" Luka didn't expect a rather friendly atmosphere but was happy to have been in one. At the very least, she found new friends to play with, and she's happy about that.

~*~*~ line break ~*~*~

"Luka! Where are you?" Gamma shouted as he ran passed them, following the others. They had been looking for some time now and at the very least, hadn't even since her since they began. Why didn't he thought that entering the mansion would cause him to lose the young child? Suddenly, he heard a call and immediately, they went there.

They looked to see the young kids there, with Lucy crouching down and hugging someone. They couldn't see it since she was blocked in view. Suddenly, they saw Lucy loosen the hug and finally saw the young child.

"Lu…" was all Tsuna could say. Shiyo immediately after seeing his father, ran to him, the others not far behind. Lucy then turned around, clutching the young child, a sad smile on her face.

"I think it's better to discuss this inside?" they could only nod.

~*~*~ line break ~*~*~

Kyoko and the others were waiting for them in the living room and as soon as they saw them entering, they sighed in relief. But at the same time, they were quite intrigued with the young child Lucy was carrying. Suddenly sitting once again, Lucy looked at them.

"Minna, I would like you to meet Luka, my daughter. Luka, these are your aunts and uncles. Sweetie, can you introduce yourself?" Luka suddenly, looked at them, and they gasped a bit.

"Hi, my name is Luka. Nice to meet you all!"

Tsuna and the others were quite shocked at this and looked at each other.

In the meantime, Lucy looked at Yuni.

"So, you planned to bring Luka here from the beginning were you?" Yuni only looked at her knowingly and she sighed. Yuni can be quite unpredictable when she wants to. but, that didn't change the fact that they've now known of her. She just hoped that they wouldn't ask question, at least today.

"Hello Luka, my name's Tsunayoshi but you can call me uncle Tsuna. I am your mother's cousin, you see." Her eyes sparkled and she smiled.

"Hai."

She sighed in relief but she knew, sometime later she knew she would be asked. But for now, she was content that they weren't prying further.

Night time…

Hibari, along with Kusakabe had just came from the patrol they have done and the small favor that his boss had asked of him. He was still quite pissed off because of it. Suddenly, mist surrounded the area.

"Oya, oya, my, I never thought that I would be going home from a mission and the first I have to encounter would be you." Hibari grunted a bit but remained calm, but his hands were itching for his tonfas. Mukuro saw this and chuckled.

"Kufufu…" a twitch. Kusakabe sighed. Suddenly, as they entered the mansion, they were surprised to see it a little noisier than usual. The children, were in one corner, continually playing while the adults chat among themselves. Chrome, seeing her husband came, gave a shy kiss and went back towards Kyoko and Haru to resume their talk. Mukuro went to Tsuna, and told him that he'd tell his report in the morning before he was suddenly hugged in the leg. He looked to see Miku smiling happily at him and Kuro looking at him as well.

"Welcome bacl, otou-san!" they said. Mukuro carried her as they sat and ruffled her hair a bit while he took hold of Kuro's hand.

"Yes. Thank you, Miku, Kuro. I see you're happier than usual?" Miku nodded enthusiastically and looked at her father.

"Of course, we had a lot of fun today and had even met a lot of people!" Mukuro raised a brow, quite curious at what his daughter would have to say.

"Then, bambina, do tell." Miku then told of the story wherein they had met Lucy when they went to the cake shop to buy some cake, and meeting Yuni and Loke once again. During the whole story, he would occasionally nod and look at the skylark who was leaning on a wall a few meters away from them.

"Oh yeah, we even met a girl probably younger than us. She's Luka!" this caught his attention, as he looked at his daughter once again.

"Oh? And who is this 'Luka' you speak off?" Kuro then spoke for them.

"Ah, she's a lot like Aunt Lucy since she's her daughter after all." Oya? Lucy had a daughter? Hm, interesting. "And she has pretty eyes." Kuro immediately blushed at this, feeling embarrassed as he described of her. Mukuro saw this and smirked. He would like to tease his son about it but he was curious about Luka.

Oh well, he'll know of it sooner or later. After all, he did intend to visit the Giglio Nero base tomorrow. Oh, he can't wait.

Reborn looked at her, as she was in deep thought. Funny. It's been a while since he last saw her think that deeply. Did something happen?

"Lucy!" she snapped back in reality after hearing her name. She blinked a few times before her eyes landed on Reborn.

"Ah, Uncle, is something wrong?" she asked, looking at him, wondering why.

"It seems you're distracted, care to tell?" she shook her head no and reborn sighed. She was quite stubborn but so was he but he also knew not to pry any longer, if she's in this state.

"I won't question you at all but promise to tell me when something's wrong, alright?" she nodded meekly.

She couldn't help but smile at his uncle's antics. He lowered his fedora as to hide his face but Lucy saw his worried face before he could conceal it and it made her smile.

"Thank you uncle." A smirk was its reply.

preview for next chapter:

"Oya, oya, and here I thought I could meet up with you guys." Lucy stepped forward and looked at him.

"What do you want?" she asked. He merely raised a brow.

"Ah, I was asked by Tsunayoshi-kun to deliver a letter to you since he knew of me coming here." He looked at lucy. "Why, Lucy, could I also ask of your presence just for a while?"

He couldn't help not concentrating today. He could still remember what he had heard yesterday night and that had distracted him a lot today. Wanting to clear off his mind, he went out, not after handing him the report of what he needed yesterday. He didn't meant to bump into someone that time, into a child no less.

"Ah, Luka there you are! Ive been- ah, well fancy to see you here hibari-san." And hibari merely nodded at them.
