Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, sad to say.

A/N: Unfortunately, there's not much romance in this chapter. What I did, instead, is to show the relationships and personalities of each characters, how they connect to one another, slowly but surely. Also, like I had said previously, I'll gradually add the rest of the KHR characters. I'm already introducing Asari Ugetsu and Lavina, Gokudera's mom and of course, Shitt P, although she's only mentioned for now, lastly, Luce. To Gokudera's fans, unfortunately, I'll be adding him later, much later in the story.

"Haru-chan, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

A ten year-old Elena asks her best friend, Haru-chan, as they walk home together. Ten year-old Haru ponders for a minute before exclaiming enthusiastically her answer.

"Haru wants to be the best costume designer in all of Japan!"

Elena giggled and smiled, glad to hear Haru's dream. She knows that she'll be great at it, she's seen how the girl sews and frankly, she knows that it's the best for her. She'll be Haru's number one fan.

"That's a nice dream!"

Haru smiled widely, happy that her friend's happy about her dream. When she told her other classmates, they just made fun of her. That's why she's ecstatic to see that she has an ally to her dream, other than her parents of course.

"Arigatou, Elena-chan! What's yours?"

"I want to be a wedding planner just like Kaa-chan! And maybe, I'll meet someone like Tou-chan, just like Kaa-chan did!"

Both the girls' eyes sparkled as they thought of Elena's mother, Hasegawa Yui. In their eyes, the older woman is akin to superhero as it is for boys their age. Because the older woman can make your dream wedding come true, makes your special day memorable for the rest of their lives. Elena's parents met when her father was chosen to write an article about the wedding that her mother was in-charge of. Suffice to say, they hit it right off the bat and had Elena.

"Wow!"

Now that Elena thought about it, Sawada's even alright with her friend's quirky (but still adorable) hobby of hers. That made Sawada A-okay in her books. Most guys get immediately turned off by Haru's habit of cosplaying, so if they didn't get past that, then the guy's not worth it. She really wants to find a guy that can accept Haru for who she really is, and not because of her face or her brain. She loves Haru like a sister, they practically grew up together. Their mothers are also best friends; they even planned each other's wedding for goodness' sake. So if any guy likes Haru, they had to go through her first. It's her job, after all.

Ieyasu was about to get up from the floor when the door was opened loudly, along with a laughing Cozart and a humming Asari. It made him fall flat on his butt. Wait, someone's missing.

"Where's G?"

The two newcomers glance at each other first, before looking back to Ieyasu. Somehow, Ieyasu has a bad feeling about it. Meanwhile, Reborn sat on his chair and leaned back to watch the teenagers in front of him. They never cease to amuse him, especially Ieyasu. Speaking of the boy, he's already standing. Thankfully no one's laughing at his little mishap, but little did Ieyasu know, Reborn had secretly taken a video of it.

"Uh… You see Ieyasu, we having Biology before we came here and G, well, he was partnered to a certain someone which I'm not allowed to tell and that certain someone is a person that G really hates, y'know and… well, there's was a bit of a misunderstanding on both parts and…."

Ieyasu raised a hand to stop his cousin from babbling, good thing the taller boy got the hint, and he then turns his attention to a still-laughing Cozart.

"Cozart, what really happened?"

Cozart coughed a bit before raising his head to look at Ieyasu, his face still twitching with amusement.

"Well Ieyasu, today is officially G's worst day ever."

Ieyasu raised a brow, knowing Cozart, he must've done something stupid and pranked G. 'But then again, the two never did get along that well. Most of the time anyway'

"I know what you're thinking," Cozart puts his hands on his chest dramatically, looking at Ieyasu with a fake pout. It made both Asari and Ieyasu wince in disgust, Cozart's actions made reminded the two boys of a certain creepy, gay music teacher of theirs that goes by the name of Lussuria. "You think that it's my fault and I played a prank on G again. No I did not, not this time anyway."

"Stop making that expression, please Shimon-san"

"Yeah, it's creepy and you know that Cozart"

"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, as I was saying earlier, I officially dubs this day as a holiday. Hey that rhymed!"

The blonde teenager face-palmed, while Asari pats him by the shoulder for comfort, Ieyasu then raises his head to look at Cozart tiredly. He already has an idea on what's the redhead will say.

"Can you please elaborate that? I don't understand."

"Well, G's partner is Shitt P.!"

Just the name alone has already explains it all, Ieyasu could only nod sagely. G hates Shitt P. in every sense of the word. Because Shitt P, is G's personal stalker and the bane of the boy's life; but he had liked her before, or more specifically, he's curious about her. G had always thought that Shitt P's an UMA, since UMAs are the hothead's passion and not to mention a weird hobby, as weird as it is. But it all changed when Shitt P started to stalking the boy; needless to say, the class is most probably hell for G. But it was heaven for Cozart.

"So that's why you're laughing maniacally. Good thing Hibari-senpai didn't catch you."

"Yeah well, I'm a genius"

"Really?"

"I am Ugetsu. Hey, do you doubt me?"

"Not really, but I'm a bit worried about your survival instinct; because as far as I'm concern, it's on the same level as a lemur."

"Hey!"

What the three teenage boys didn't realize, but Reborn did, was that Haru was actually behind the door listening to them. She took a small peak to know what they were doing. She then softly smiled as she saw that Ieyasu is doing well. So she turns around and goes to her next class with a grin on her face.

Etou Lavina fixes her glasses a bit to see the text on the book a little better. She was on her way towards the third chapter when the library door was slammed open. It made her jolt in surprise and turns her head around to see the unwanted visitor. Her eyebrow twitched a little when she discovers that it was none other than the resident bad boy, Gokudera Ginnosuke or 'G' as everyone calls him. Said boy immediately slouched down and signaled her to keep quiet. She then hears another voice, and if she's not mistaken, it belongs to none other than Shitt P. Namimori High's version of Lady Gaga.

She sighs again before making a zip-like expression for G, silently saying that she'll help him. G sighs in relief, mouthing a 'thank you'. Lavina just shrugged with a half smile before continuing her reading.

"You're smiling, is it because of a boy?"

Elena teased Haru but the latter just shrugged her shoulders, continuing to sew her class project, a stuffed Namahage. Elena dropped the subject, which Haru is thankful for, but the teasing grin is still there. She shook her head in mild exasperation before looking over her friend.

"Just finish your own project Elena; Luce-sensei might scold us"

"I heard my name, what is it Miura-kun?"

Both girls then looks up and see their Home Economics teacher smiling down at them, making them sheepishly grin.

"Nothing much Luce-sensei, can you please look at my project? I was thinking of adding more orange on this part, what do you think ma'am?"

Haru said while pointing her stuffed Namahage. Elena mentally thanks her friend. Luce on the other hand, looks over Haru's work with a critical eye. The girls have always liked Luce, simply because she has no prejudice against her students and was like a second mother to almost every one of them.

"Hmm… I think its better that way; you don't need to add anything. Remember, when making these things, the simpler the better, alright girls?"

"Hai, sensei"

"Good"
