Snowflake: Yes it will come to an end, but I want to move on...
Kururo: Well I can't make a stupid wannabe catwoman strong! That would be too much XD And please don't give away my ideas for ;) (I mean the last sentence of your Review)

Authors note: This chapter is crap ... I wanted to write something like that, but somehow it didn't turn out well and I did over write it like five times or so. So I gave up and accepted it like that.

A Little hint for the last chapter: The title will be: "Birthday and Bazooka"


Summer, Sun and more

A week after they had eliminated the threat of the Bakeneko, Tsuna had been informed that the Japanese branch of Vongola was on vacation, because they no longer had headquarters. But the ninth had found the perfect place for the new one. And guess what? It was the old haunted mansion, because seemingly it was property of the Vongola all along, it just had been forgotten for almost eight generations. Primo had used it as his retirement residence and after he had died and his children had left, nobody longer cared for it. Lucky for his family, it wasn't a Sawada heritage, because then they would have to pay taxes and everything else for it. Now Vongola had to pay everything regarding the mansion and the grounds that were a part of it. Nono had instruct the Families engineers, gardeners and craftsmen to renovate the building and grounds. And when it was finished the Japanese branch will use it as their headquarters. But for now they were on vacation and the young tenth generation and friends used this opportunity to go to the beach.

It was a hot and sunny summer day, the best time to play at the beach and relax. Hayato was in her flat and packed a basket with things they would need. Sun lotion, a blanket and towels, water and light sandwiches, clothes to change into and the utterly important dynamite and Vongola Gear. She had put on some Sun lotion, because it would be more effective that way. Juudaime had spent the night at home for the first time since the summer vacation had started. He had promised to bring some home made Bentos with him. They all had decided to meet at the train station and take the train to the beach town. To their surprise Reborn had organized a beach house where they could spend the night. But somehow that sounded really fishy and Tsuna had been suspicious about that, because Reborn wouldn't do something like that without a catch. Reluctant he had agreed to take the generous offer, but he was still suspicious about it. Hopefully nothing terrifying would happen.

Hayato was the first to arrive at the train station, but that was nothing new. She stood in front of an advertisement for sun lotion and people looked confused because she made the perfect picture for it and they weren't too sure if she was a part of the poster or real. But then she looked around and it was clear that she was real. Some guys approached her, because they wanted to invite her for a drink. "Hey Babe, how come you are alone and lonely?" one of them asked and his smile was showing exactly what he had in mind as he looked her over from head to toe.
The soft fabric of her white sun-dress played with her small curves, a red belt divided the skirt from the upper part and on her feet were sandals with just a little heel, because hight heels weren't really made for walking through sand. Her hair was made into two loose tails, which flowed over her shoulder in soft tresses and caressed the skin of her neckline. The dress and her bra were strapless and therefore let her hair tingle the skin freely. At first she had been reluctant about putting that dress on, because she was afraid it would slide down, but it sat perfectly fine and didn't move an inch.
Today she had decided to wear her glasses, because the contacts would be annoying in the water. So now she glared over the rim at the guys in front of her.
"For now I'm alone, but that doesn't mean I'm lonely. I'm waiting for my friends." her hands gripped the handles of the picnic basket strongly, because she had to fight the urge to explode on those stupid men.

One of them attempted to throw his arms around her shoulder, but he had been stopped by another hand.
"Do that and I will break your arm." a smooth voice said and Hayato looked at the source of it.
It was the most handsome man she had ever seen.
His white dress shirt was wide open, revealing a part of his well toned chest, just the middle button had been closed and he wore skin tight jeans, which rested lowly at his hips. She could see his bellybutton and blushed a little.
Over his shoulder was the strap of his messenger bag and the hand which had the arm of the other guy in some death grip was decorated by a huge metal ring which consisted of three parts. His brown eyes had some orange ting to them and they openly glared at the three men between her and him. Brown bangs caressed his face and the strands of his hair stood to all direction, but it seemed like it had been put to some order.
All in all he was just perfect.
Hayato moved between the guys to get to him and she leaned her forehead against his chest.
"They are not worth your time Juudaime." she said and looked up to him and kissed his cheek. He let go of the other male and wound his arm around her waist.
"Piss off." he said to the three who had approached her. They were smart enough not to test the waters.
"Gyahahaha, they were afraid of the great Lambo!" the said one shouted and laughed in his strange manner, but the back of his head was slapped by a girl the same age as him.
"Lambo did nothing, Tsuna-nii is the hero." I-Pin declared.
"You look so cute today I-Pin." Hayato leaned down to smile at her and the shy Chinese girl blushed. Her head had grown out of this strange form and nowadays she wore glasses to see better, her hair had grown a lot and she liked to put it into tow braids. The dress she wore looked Chinese, but with a more western style. Flowers in different purple and pink tones were printed all over it. She and Lambo both had a backpack with their things on. Lambos was a lot bigger then hers, because he did hide is VG in it. To describe Lambos outfit wouldn't do much, it was his typical cow-print shirt and dark trousers with sandals.
Fuuta wasn't with them today, because he wanted to spent the day with his school friends, he was at the age were he felt that his little siblings were just an embarrassment and his older brother a nag. Tsuna had been really sad about that statement.
But Bianchi and Reborn did accompany them, because someone had too make sure that those teenagers didn't do something stupid. Her sister had her typical attire on and she wore light shaded sunglasses, it didn't hide her face as much as the googles but still enough to not make Hayato faint. It was the progress they had made until this day and the both of them were sure that someday she will be able to look at her sisters face without vomiting all over the floor.

It didn't take much time for the other to arrive. Yamamoto came together with Kyoko, Ryouhei and Hana. The boys were dressed casually and the girls wore light summer clothes. Kyokos were more to show her natural cuteness and Hanas more elegant, but also informal, other than Hayato and Kyoko she wore shorts. Chrome and Haru arrived together and one look at Mukuros face said, that he was forced to come with his counterpart. He was downright pouting. Behind him Ken and Chikusa didn't look much better. But they all were dressed casual, like people who had planned to go to the beach, they even carried some luggage.
Haru looked like she had put too much effort into her appearance, the neck-holder top she wore clung to her like a second skin and accentuated her bosom. Her miniskirt revealed her smooth legs and she wore high heels to make them appear longer. Hayato and her glared at each other, but exchanged polite greetings through clenched teeth. Tsuna behaved like he didn't want to notice this, he knew that Haru still hadn't given up on him.
He greeted his guardians and hoped that those two girls wouldn't be at each others throats as soon as he showed them his back.
"Now that we all are here, we should get going." Hayato did buy the tickets beforehand, so that they could take their time with boarding the train. The other would give her the money back once the had sat down.

Taking the train was a huge risk, especially if you had a child like Lambo with you. He was bored easily and the train ride would take an hour or so, but Tsuna was prepared for that, he had taken the DS and Lambos favourite game with him, with that the cow child was busy and wouldn't cause any destruction. I-Pin was much easier to handle, she liked to look out of the window to watch the scenery floating by.
The group had almost an entire wagon for themselves and that was a huge relieve to them, because they needed a lot of space.
They had decided to sit in guys and girls groups, so that they could talk about more private matters. They occupied the seats for four people. Ken sat besides Lambo and gave him hints to the game he played, Chikusa watched the both of them, because one couldn't know when they would misbehave. Besides him sat Yamamoto and talked over the back of his seat to Ryouhei and Tsuna, but sadly he also talked over Mukuros head, who didn't like that one bit, just Reborns stern warning could hold him back.
Naturally Hayato had sat down besides her sister and she faced Chrome who was sitting together with I-Pin and watched out of the window with her. Kyoko sat together with Hana and Haru. The four groups sat across from each other, one side had the guys and the other the girls.

Hayato was fuming, because she hadn't planned to invite Haru. Hell she didn't even knew that this annoyance would be here, but seemingly Chrome had told her about their beach plans and did invite her. Haru even had had the foresight to buy her own ticket. Her appearance had ruined Hayatos day greatly. It seemed like the brunette made it a point to show her exactly where she lacked, the way she accentuated her boobs was evidence enough. Now she wasn't just angry at her, but also at the female Mist. How dare she betrayed her like that? No wonder that Chrome didn't look at her - she downright glared at the poor soul.
"Hayato." her sisters voice broke her out of her musings.
"What?" she hissed.
"Don't be angry, enjoy your day." she whispered softly.
"How can I do that when I need to watch this stupid bitch?" sounded her angry whisper. Chrome did like she couldn't hear them.
"You don't need to watch Haru."
"Of course I need to, because I'm sure she has something up her sleeve." now she looked to the seat where Juudaime sat and their eyes met for a second. He smiled and winked at her, it made her blush. Than he was kicked in the head by Reborn, who demanded his attention.
"She loves Tsuna and you can't change that. And I'm in the firm believe that all is fair in love and war." Bianchi said and watched how Mukuro and Ryouhei discussed about something, it was strange that the Sun guardian didn't shout. Suddenly Tsuna blushed like mad and Reborn grinned. Whatever they talked about it had to be something perverted.
"So you want to say that I should put my foot down and let her do whatever she wants?" Hayato glared at her sister.
"Yes. Tsuna needs to learn how to get rid of unwanted suitors by himself. He is a good looking and charming man, in the future there will be more women like her. It doesn't do any good for you and him, if you can't trust him."
"I do trust him." Yamamoto tried to talk to Chikusa, but he wasn't really responsive, so he did his best to get some attention from Ken, who was too engrossed in the game he played with Lambo, so he decided to talk with Tsuna and co. The result was funny, because whatever he had said rubbed Ryouhei the wrong way. Now the Baseball freak was in a headlock and Ryouhei rubbed his head painfully.
"If you really trust him, than don't fight against Haru, let Tsuna handle it."
"If only this bitch would know what a no means." she muttered and didn't see any use to talk further about that matter.

Haru was talking with Hana and Kyoko and wanted their opinion on the same matter.
"How can I make him fall in love with me?" she asked the two of them. Kyoko looked a little uncomfortable and Hana just shrugged.
"I think Sawada is just oblivious to your attempts." she said.
"No, he knows how I feel about him. I said it clearly." she retorted.
"But he didn't respond positive?" Hana asked for further information.
"Sadly not. But just because he has this strange relationship with Gokudera."
"What is strange about their relationship?" Kyoko asked confused.
"They are both guys." the brunette said as serious as she could. The other two girls looked at each other.
"Hayato is a girl." Kyoko said and looked a little angry.
"But just on the inside." Was Hanas retort to that: "So there are things she doesn't have but needs and things she has but doesn't need."
"That's exactly what I mean. There is just no way she can make him really happy and today I will show him that." Haru whispered eagerly and looked at the other two with sparkling eyes.
"Why can't you just let them be?" Kyoko wanted to know.
"Because I love him and I will do everything to make him fall in love with me."
"But you failed at that just a year ago." was the redheads argument.
"That was one year ago. I was too pushy, now I think I know how I can make him fall for me."
"Good luck with that." Was the only thing Hana said, she loved this kind of soap opera setting. And she really meant her wish to Haru, because deep down even she had her doubts about the relationship between Sawada and Gokudera. Something like that couldn't hold long. Kyoko frowned, she didn't know if she should scold or admire her for this stubbornness. By now her brother and boyfriend had some kind of struggle, she sighed and got up to do some damage control.

When they arrived at the beach they almost despaired. There were a lot of people and it was almost impossible to find a spot large enough for all of them. But after something that felt like an eternity they arrived at the perfect place. There were some trees to give them shade and they weren't too far from the changing rooms. They put their blankets on the sand - half in the shadows and half in the sun. The bags with their refreshing were put into the shadow side, to keep them a little cool. After they had organized everything the girls excused themselves to the changing rooms. Tsuna and Mukuro followed, other than their friends they hadn't worn their swim trunks beneath their clothes. Of course those two were back faster than the girls, who took their time to change.

As the girls came back to their place they heard whistles from strangers, Hana just said something about monkeys, Kyoko giggled nervous, Chrome blushed, Hayato and Haru glared at each other and Bianchi made it a point to ignore them.
Tsuna guessed the reason for this glaring competition was the way the both of them were dressed.
Their choice of dressing was really similar and he knew how much Hayato hated that.
The both of the had triangle bikini tops with floral pattern on, just the colour was different. Hayatos colour choice was orange and red, Haru had chosen Blue and green. As an underpart they wore swim shorts, both in black. Harus was a little shorter than Hayatos, because she didn't need to hide what she didn't have. All in all you could say that Haru looked hotter than Hayato in this dress up and the only reason for that was her all around roundness, her soft curves stood in contrast to Hayatos more angular ones.

"You really have no boobs!" shouted Ryouhei and made her feel even more depressed. Haru giggled softly because she knew that she had won round one, well that was what she thought. Tsuna punched Ryouheis gut really hard, it made him flinch a little.
"Don't say stupid things, Hayato looks great." first he glared at his sun guardian who looked a little guilty and then he smiled at Hayato and motioned for her to come to him. She did exactly that and was hugged.
"You really look great, just because you lack the fat doesn't mean that you're not sexy." he made it a point to stress the fat part and kissed her forehead. She smiled and nodded as a sign that she wouldn't worry about that, than she gave Haru a smug smile and mouthed: "You want war? Bring it on!" Haru just glared.
"Kufufufu, but you really just look like one flat chested chick."
"Mukuro-san." Chrome soft voice scolded him and he played like he was feeling guilty. His Chrome looked too cute in her one piece and she had a nice bosom. She blushed because his eyes had wandered to that area.
Ryouhei tried desperately to hold his hands in front of Yamamotos eyes, because he didn't want him to see his sister in just a Bikini.
"Hahaha, it's not the first time I see her in one."
"But it's the first time you see her extremely like that as her boyfriend!"
"Then let's make a deal - I wont look at Kyoko and you won't look at Hana." now Ryouhei gaped at him like a dead fish. He pondered for a few seconds until Hana pulled his ear and sat him down.
"Be still, I will put some sun blocker at your back."she knelt behind him and did just that. Ryouhei just blushed. Kyoko giggled and asked her boyfriend if she should do the same for him, he nodded eager.
"Tsuna-san! Should I help you?" Haru used this opportunity to offer her service to him.
"No. Something like that is the job of my girlfriend." he answered coldly, but smiled at Hayato, who had taken out the sun lotion. Haru didn't ask further and instead of getting on his nerves she helped the children.

"This one isn't the same as yours." Tsuna said as he smelled the different scent.
"That's right. I use a stronger one, because I don't like my skin tan and I get sunburned easily." she massaged the lotion onto his skin and traced the X-shaped scar he had gotten from his fight with Genkishi, it didn't stand out that much, but was visible nonetheless. Than she whispered in his ear: "But I like your skin tan." he blushed and she giggled.

"Who wants to play in the water?" Haru asked lively, Lambo and I-Pin were really excited about it. Tsuna smiled about those two and let himself be dragged to the water, Hayato and most of the others followed them. Mukuro and Hana were in the opinion that they were to old to play ball in the water, so they decided to go swimming. Bianchi and Reborn just relaxed in the sun, keeping a keen eye on the brats.

During their play Haru bumped into Tsuna, she did it on propose but said it wasn't and nobody questioned her about that. Tsuna did the most logical thing in this kind of situation, he moved more to Hayatos side and further away from Haru, to give her the signal that he knew exactly what she planned and that he wasn't pleased about that. Hayato leaned on him and gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek, all the while glaring at Haru, who attempted to ignore her.
"Let's go swimming for a bit." Tsuna whispered in Hayatos ear and looked over where Haru had a water fight with Lambo and I-Pin. Kyoko and Chrome had gone back to the place to take a sun bath. Yamamoto and Ryouhei had some kind of competition going on, Ken and Chikusa were who knows where. Nobody would pay any attention to the both of them.
"Okay." Hayato whispered back and the two of them moved away from their friends. Haru wanted to get Tsuna to play with them, but he was nowhere to be seen. She frowned.

The young pair swam a fair distance. They took their time to search for a spot without people. They found a lonely patch of beach, which was surrounded by huge stones, this place had to be some sort of an insider tip. The water was shallow and they walked through soft sand. As they reached dry grounds Tsuna embraced her from behind and kissed her neck.
"Juudaime." she giggled, because his fingers moved along her sides and she was ticklish.
"hmm?" he hummed and bit her earlobe.
"Stop that please." she moved in his arms to look at him.
"Why?" he leaned down and kissed her lips.
"If you do that we will end up doing it." she blushed and looked away.
"Maybe that was my plan?" he confessed and kissed her again, she bit his lip softly.
"But than we will be too exhausted to get back and you don't want Reborn-san to start searching for us, do you?" she looked up into his eyes. He sighed and leaned his forehead against hers.
"You're right, I don't want that to happen." as he wanted to let her go she wound her arms around his neck.
"But that doesn't mean that we can't kiss some more before we get back." He smiled and took the clear invitation.


"They are gone for quite some time now." Haru prepared the picnic together with the other girls and looked around to search for Tsuna, she didn't care one bit about Hayato, but was worried about the man she loved.
"Maybe they are lost?" Kyoko said, because she knew that something like that could happen, especially to Tsuna.
"Or they just found a good spot for s.o.b.?" Hana said.
"What's s.o.b.?" asked Chrome and the other two looked equally confused. Hana rolled her eyes.
"There are children, so I won't say it loud." at that the other girls understood what she meant and blushed. (s.o.b. - sex on the beach)
"No way! Tsuna-san wouldn't do something like that with another guy." protested Haru.
"But he sees Hayato as a girl." said Kyoko.
"But he isn't a girl, there are certain parts that show this. And I doubt that Tsuna-san would touch there." Bianchi listened to this conversation, but she kept quite. It made her angry that Haru still couldn't see that Hayato was a girl like her, she had the urge to smack this girl, but she refrained from it, because Hayato will meet more people like her and she couldn't change their minds with force.
"How can you be so sure about that?" It was Hayatos voice and she didn't sound nice.
"Where is Tsuna-san?" Haru glared at Hayato, who was dripping and took her beach towel to get herself dry.
"Baseball freak and Turf top grabbed him. I don't know what they plan to do with him." she had wrapped herself into the big towel and sat down at her sisters side.
"And where were you?" the girl sounded annoyed.
"We are at the sea, I'm all wet and now take a guess or don't, you are too stupid to come to the conclusion that we were swimming." Hayatos voice was dropping with venom and she openly glared at Haru, it felt like a storm was approaching. Haru didn't back down, she felt challenged at Hayatos tone and glared right back.
But before their war could start, they were interrupted by the guys who returned one after the other and demanded to be fed. Tsuna grabbed his towel and rubbed himself dry, than he sat down behind Hayato and pulled her close. She was sitting between his legs and blushed, because normally he wouldn't do something like that when the others could see it. Than he ignored his friends and she just guessed that they had said something stupid.
"Can I have one of your delicious sandwiches? I'm starving." he said and leaned his chin on her shoulder.
"Sure." she handed him one and ate some herself. Haru watched them and was furious, she didn't even get the opportunity to let him taste her home cooking.

The truth was Tsuna had been dragged by his friend for some manly talk. Yamamoto and Ryouhei wanted to talk to him under six eyes.
"So, Tsuna you and Gokudera are real?" was his rains question.
"What do you even mean by that? You know that we are a couple." he rolled his eyes.
"That's extreme right, but there are certain things …" the sun guardian hesitated to end his sentence
"Like sex." was Yamamotos nonchalant finish. Tsuna gaped at him.
"Don't say that!" Ryouhei blushed and punched his gut, Yamamoto bend over and laughed.
"It's not like we never talk about that. You and I are both very active with that, even if you don't want to hear it."
"Why do you want to know?" Tsuna looked a little offended.
"Because ... well Haru had asked about our opinion on your relationship with Gokudera." the baseball freak scratched his head.
"She said some extreme things."
"Things that are ... you know ... complicated, but it made some sense."
"Even to me to the extreme!"
"What the hell did she say?" his hand were balled to fists. His friends looked at each other and Yamamoto sighed.
"She said that you are just together with Gokudera, because you feel obligated to keep her at your side as the storm guardian and the easiest way to do that is to fake a relationship."
"And we think that that sounded extreme right, because Gokudera is supposed to be a guy, just that he is extreme strange in the head." Tsuna glared at Ryouhei.
"What Senpai wants to say is, that this relationship is strange, there are things you just can't do, but you would want to do when you love someone. And we all know that you are not gay." There was an awkward silence. Tsuna stared at his friends like they were insane and they looked at him, because they wanted some answers.
"I love Hayato and you don't need to know more about our private matters." he glared at his guardians and left them. He wasn't really angry at them, because Haru had the bility manipulate people when she sniffed her chance.

After they had eaten, they decided to play a card game. Tsuna didn't want to participate and just clung to Hayato, almost like a child that was possessive of his mother. "What's wrong?" she whispered.
"Nothing, I just feel like cuddling." he had his arms wrapped around her middle and rested his head on her shoulder. He sat Indian style and she in the space between his legs.
"I think we should put our things together and go to the house." Reborn hopped on the card desk and looked at the teens.
"Hahi, why?"
"Look there." he motioned to look behind them where a storm cloud was forming, the sky looked like the world was coming to an end.
"I guess Reborn is right." Tsuna sighed and stood up, pulling Hayato with him. They were fast with collecting their things, putting them away and changing their clothes. And as they reached their rented beach house the sky was almost pitch black and the first thunder could bee seen. A down pour followed.
"We made it." was Harus statement as she looked out of the window.
Hayato rolled her eyes at that.

They decided to look around the house. It was big, but that was no wonder, they were a lot of people and needed the space. The first floor had the open kitchen and the large living room, as well as the bathroom. On the second floor were three big bedrooms and they needed to decide how to split the group up. After a lot of discussion they decided to let the children sleep in one Room with Bianchi and Reborn. The other two bedrooms were divided into a girls and a boys room, but one person had a problem with that. "And where does Gokudera-san sleep?" of course it was Haru who had to ask this stupid question.
"With the girls." was Tsunas short answer to that.
"I'm against it." she protested.
"Why?" he glared at her.
"Because I won't feel safe when a guy sleeps in the same room as me." Tsuna wanted to say something, but Hayato stopped him.
"I will sleep downstairs." she said nice, but her glare at Haru showed how much she wanted to kill her.

The fridge in the kitchen was filled with fresh food and the girls were now preparing their meal for the evening. Hayato had wanted to help out, but Tsuna held her back, because he didn't want bloody Haru as the main course. Hayato had laughed at his declaration and let herself be dragged to one of the sofas in front of the huge television. Mukuro and his two subordinates watched some comedy show together with Lambo, who somehow had become friends with Ken. The two of them laughed really hard about some stupid joke and Hayato wondered what was so funny about that.
Reborn sat at a table with Bianchi and the both of them drank some coffee. Yamamoto and Ryouhei had an arm wrestling competition to see who was stronger, the result wasn't surprising, because the Turf top had more strength in his arms than the baseball freak.
"Sawada, I challenge you to an extreme arm wrestling competition." At first Truna wanted to decline, because he wasn't insane, but than he looked at Hayato. And like any guy he wanted to impress his girlfriend, that resulted in him agreeing to it. Now that he and his Sun had the needed position he noted that this was stupid. His skinny arm did look really small in comparison to Ryouheis, which was steeled and full of muscle from the constant training he put himself under. There was no way that he could win. The two of them gave it their all and Tsuna was holding out much longer than Yamamoto did.
Ryouhei had a hard time to push him further down. Hayato stood behind Tsuna and whispered something into his ear. Ryouhei couldn't react as fast as his arm connected with the surface of the table. Everybody in the room gaped at Tsuna, well almost everybody - Hayato smiled at him and gave him a chaste kiss.
"What did she say that you got that extreme power?" At his sun guardians question Tsuna just smiled.
"Kufufufu, I'm sure it wasn't something one would say out loud." Mukuro said, but looked back at the TV where his favourite soap opera started. He watched it every evening together with his boys and the three of them were really hard core fans.
Chrome preferred to read a book whenever they got into soap mode.

In the kitchen the girls worked like bees to impress the guys.
"You were really mean to Hayato." Kyoko couldn't hold back any longer, she had ignored Harus antics long enough.
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I meant. Hayato is a girl, she would never do something inappropriate to one of us." The redhead stirred angry in her pan.
"No. Gokudera is a guy and I won't sleep in the same room as a guy - you never know what they attempt to do."
"You are one to talk." Now Kyoko put out the stove and threw her cooking utensil aside. Haru looked at the angry red head and didn't really know what to say. Chrome and Hana were looking at them with mild curiosity, they didn't know what had occurred between Haru and Tsuna in Italy. I-Pin was ignoring them and focused on her task to make rice balls.
"This and that are two different things." was Harus defensive answer.
"No, they aren't. You just sprout nonsense because Hayato has something you never had - Tsuna-kuns love. If you want to fight for his heart you need to accept your enemy, but you don't even consider Hayato an equal, just because she is like she is. And that is the reason why Tsuna-kun will never accept your true feelings, he will see you as the immature brat you are." Kyoko crossed her arms.
"Kyoko has a point there. Neither Hayato nor Sawada take you serious, because you don't take them serious." Hana had to interfere before those two started a fight.
"Boss hates it when someone of his Family is bullied. And you do bully Hayato-san, that is why you don't stand in his favour." Chrome said shyly.
Haru thought about that and looked at her friends when she got the conclusion that they were right, if she wanted to be recognized by him, she needed to be friends with all of his guardians. She nodded and decided to apologize to Gokudera later on. But for now they had a meal to prepare.

Just as Mukuros soap had finished the girls brought the food in and it smelled really delicious. The boys helped to carry the table ware and other heavy things.
During their meal it was pure Chaos, they stole food from each other and somehow they ended up having a food fight. Rumour said Tsuna was the one who had started it... As a Result everything was dirty, including themselves. Because Tsuna was the one who had started the food fight, Reborn had decided that he should clean up, while the others take their baths. Of course Hayato helped him, there was no way she would go into the bath with the other girls or the boys.
She wanted to go as the last one. Tsuna had his own thought about her being the last to take a bath, he would make sure that she wouldn't be alone.

It had become really late, cleaning the remains from their food wasting activities had taken them longer than expected. But the good side was, that the others had finished their baths and gone upstairs. Tsuna knew that nobody of them would sleep just now, but he was sure that there would be no disturbances when he soaked in the tube together with his beloved girlfriend. And maybe they would do something more interesting than just bathing.

Hayato was a little embarassed to clean herself in front of Juudaime, she hesitated to strip out of her clothes, because she knew that he watched her every move.
"Juudaime … can you please look away?" she said blushing.
"Why? It's not like I've never seen you naked." was his smug answer to that, he even made it a point to look expectant at her, crossing his arms and waiting. There was nothing she could retort to that, he had seen her without clothes plenty of times already, but that didn't mean that it took away her shame. He felt that she was reluctant to undress, so he made a suggestion: "I will strip myself of one piece of clothing and you will do the same after me. Deal?"
She thought a little about it and nodded, but she noticed that this offer was really unfair – she wore a dress, that meant she had much less to put off. Tsuna smiled and opened the buttons of his shirt and pulled it off, he folded it neatly and put it onto the washing machine, which stood besides him.
Hayato gulped and opened her belt, just to put it on top of his shirt.
He looked at her questioningly: "That doesn't count as clothing."
"It does, accessories are clothes." she smiled.
"If you say so." he took his Vongola Ring an laid it to the other things.
"You count the Ring as clothing?" she asked dumbfounded.
"Yes, it's an accessory." he smiled at her.
"No, it's a weapon. So it doesn't count." She pouted.
"If your belt with your Vongola gear is a piece of clothes, then I can count my Ring as one, too." he crossed his arms and looked at her, waiting for her retort. She just sighed and took of her slippers, Tsuna did the same.
"You know that this is unfair?" she asked a little shy.
"That's right, I just have my jeans and underwear left." he didn't wear any socks, it was hot enough to go without them. Hayato blushed and moved her hand behind herself, she opened her strapless bra and pulled it out of her neckline.
"You're a tease." now Tsuna was blushing and stripped out of his tight trousers and gave Hayato a nice view of his dark blue underwear. He didn't wear loose boxer shorts, but the kind which was more tight, nothing else would fit under those jeans.
Suddenly Hayato had a great Idea, she pulled off her hair bands and threw them on the pile. Tsuna gaped at her: "That doesn't count!"
"Those are accessories."
"No they are a necessity to hold your hair." now he pouted.
"Let's make a deal – you let them count and I will let you take off my last piece of clothing." she smiled, because she knew that he had a perverted side he wasn't able to hide when they were alone, this little play was enough proof of that. He looked a little doubtful but nodded and pulled his underwear down, revealing everything. Hayato couldn't help but stare at his member, it's not like she never had seen it, but it was quite impressive, especially in this semi hard state. Tsuna grinned and broke her train of thought: "Your turn."
She blushed and looked away, just to lean slightly down. Her hand wandered under the skirt and she stripped herself out of her slip.
"A dress is quite convenient and I take it, this is your last piece." he took her slip out of her hand and put it together with the rest of her clothing. His eyes had an amused, but also dangerous glint within them. She nodded and he moved to her, licking his lips as he hooked his thumbs under the band of her dress and slowly pulled it down, just like that. Whoever had design this one was a genius.
Now they stood in front of each other, one blushing more than the other.
"Let's wash each others backs." Tsuna was cheerful, because he had wanted to do something like that since a long time ago.

Like it was typical in Japan they showered before taking a bath. Tsuna was putting shampoo all over Hayato and Hayato did the same to him. It was nice to touch each other without the intention to have sexual intercourse, not like their bodies didn't react to their close proximity, but for now they just ignored it. They washed each others hair and Tsuna really took his time for that, he was extra careful, because he loved her long soft tresses and didn't want to tangle them. Hayato was faster then him, because his hair was a mess by nature she didn't need to be careful with that. After they had rinsed themselves of the soap it was time to soak in the tube.

Tsuna had grabbed Hayato, so that she would sit between his legs, leaning her back against his chest. He knew that she had wanted to sit to his opposite, but he wouldn't have that. Sometimes he just needed to hold her close, it was really relaxing, like every of his worries just vanished whenever he held her in his arms. Sure he liked the perverted things they sometimes did, but he loved to cuddle with her. Hayato had been surprised about his move and was a little shy to sit like that, but after some time she felt that his hands didn't move around on her body and just laid on the edge of the tube. He was breathing even and it seemed like he didn't have an erection, if she felt right. Noting all that she began to relax herself and leaned more against his chest.
It was nice.

Until someone came bursting in.

"Hahi! What are you guys doing?" Haru had come into the bathroom and shouted. Hayato had moved her arms in front of her chest and faced the wall, she didn't want that stupid woman to see her naked.
"Bathing." said Tsuna and looked like Haru had grown a second head.
"Two guys together?"
"No. Two lovers together and now get out of here." there was his no nonsense voice and Hayato shuddered.
"No." she demonstratively crossed her arms and looked at them. Hayato was uncomfortable with this addition.
"That was an order." Tsuna felt Hayatos mood plummeting and that angered him a lot.
"You can't order me around." The stupid woman raised her voice at him and that was where the Storm guardian exploded.
"He can order you around as much as he wants you stupid bitch - he is your boss! So get your ugly face and annoying voice out of here!" Hayato had moved around and most likely wanted to strangle her, but she was naked and alas didn't move out of the tube. But she held just one arm in front of her chest and with the other showed Haru where the door was.
Sadly Haru was as stubborn as a mule and didn't really care about the hierarchy inside of the Family.
"This here has nothing to do with the Mafia, it's a private matter." Both girls glared at each other, but before one of the three could say something another voice interrupted. "As long as you are a part of the Family you have to listen to orders, whether it is in your leisure time or during working hours – the hierarchy of the Family is absolute." it was Reborn who suddenly sat inside the tube besides Hayato. Her first reflex was to "eep" and move closer to Tsuna, but soon enough she sighed and calmed down her beating heart.
"And not listening to your Boss can be seen as a revolt. I'm sure you don't want to know what happens if someone plans a rebellion." there was Hayatos smug smile: "Get out of here."
"I don't take orders from you!" Haru was near the tears and almost screeched.
"Miura Haru – you are talking to your superior." Tsuna intervened with a calm voice: "Hayato isn't just my girlfriend, but also my Storm guardian and my Right hand woman. Her orders are mine, so get the hell out of here."
Haru took a deep breath: "Fine. But don't think that I will give up on you." she moved around out of the door and slammed it shut. Hayato sighed annoyed and looked at Tsuna and Reborn: "I'm no longer in the mood for a bath." Without a second thought she stood up and got out of the hot water. Reborn had the decency to look away. Leave it to Haru to ruin the mood.
Why was is so hard for her to accept that she couldn't do whatever she liked?

The next day they took the train home to Namimori. Everyone felt the sour mood between Hayato and Haru. Of course they all knew that those two didn't get along well, but it was the first time that they so oblivious glared at each other and avoided to make contact like one of the had the pest. There was no superficial politeness between them. And every time Haru attempted to say something to Tsuna, he just looked at her and politely refused to talk to her. He wasn't one who held grudges, but Haru had gone too far.
To say that the drive home was awkward was an understatement.
Everybody was glad when they reached their destination and could go their own ways.
So much to their fun summer days.


... I said it is crap ...
Oh! I have a few Ideas for new stories (2759 of course) here are the titles:
"Teenage Daddy Mafia Boss"
"Demon town Namimori"
"Just ignore it"

All three are AU with real hard OOcness! The first one is my favourite Idea, but I don't have a real plot yet, so I can't say when I will write it. (The same goes for the other stories)
Most likely they will be side Projects, because my heart beats for "Living and Loving" which will come soon.
