Author's Note: I had fun writing this one. Since Hisoka missed out on the daily life arc I wanted to add this one. Thanks for the reviews your time and comments are appreciated!

I look blankly at Tsuna and the others with my violet eyes. "What?" I ask. I tilt my head to the side a bit. "A snowball fight?" I ask.

"Yeah," replies Yamamoto.

"Have you never had one before?" Tsuna asks.

I shake my head. "I know what a snowball fight is, but there isn't any snow out. Isn't it supposed to be getting warmer this time of year too?" I ask.

"Well, Reborn said that there'll be snow tonight so…" Tsuna replies.

I continue to look at him blankly. "Really?" He nods. He says there'll be snow, huh? I smile now. "I'll look forward to it then."

I look out the window of my room and I smile a little as I see the ground covered with snow. So, the "mighty" Reborn was correct… I continue to smile as I change into a black long sleeved shirt and a pair of white pants. I pull on my pair of black combat boots before throwing on a grey pea coat, winding a violet scarf around my neck, and tucking the loose ends into my jacket. I tie my currently blue hair into pigtails with white ribbons as I head into the theater. Onii-chan smiles at me from his chair. "Are you heading out, Hisoka?" he asks.

I smile and nod. "They asked me to participate in a snowball fight. I'm hoping that 'Reborn-san' shows up," I reply.

"Good," he replies. He gets up and pats me on the head. "Be careful, okay?"

I smile innocently at him and I reply sweetly, "I'm probably the most dangerous one there."

I smile innocently at the baby with the large yellow pacifier. I know what he looks like now. "I'm the greatest home tutor in the world- Reborn," he greets.

"Nice to meet you, Reborn-san, I'm Hayashi, Kirimi," I greet a bit shyly.

"Hm," he replies. He walks off. "Tsuna, I'm heading home," he says. I look at him blankly.

"H-Huh? Uh…o-okay," Tsuna replies a bit slowly.

I continue to look at the baby's retreating form blankly. "Huh..."

"D-Don't look so discouraged," Tsuna says. I didn't realize that I looked discouraged, but I decide to nod. He looks around and whispers, "He's kinda weird anyways…"

I look at Tsuna and start to laugh a little. I smile. "Okay." I look around. We're in the school yard. The snow coating everything makes it all look very pretty.

"Tenth!" Gokudera's voice exclaims.

"Tsuna!" comes Yamamoto's voice.

I turn around to see the two males walk over. I look up at them and greet, "Gokudera-san, Yamamoto-san, good morning."

"Gokudera-kun! Yamamoto!" Tsuna exclaims.

Gokudera looks at Tsuna. "Good morning, Tenth!" he exclaims. Then he turns to Yamamoto. "Geez, why are you always following me around, Baseball Idiot?!"

Yamamoto just laughs and scratches the back of his head. "Well…I thought that since we were heading to the same place…"

Gokudera looks at me. "How could you get here before me?!" he exclaims.

My defense mechanism kicks in and I look up at him innocently with wide eyes. "I'm sorry, Gokudera-san…" I start. I shuffle my feet on the ground and I look at my shoes. "It's just that…I had to leave home earlier to make it on time since I live further away… I didn't mean to…"

"G-Gokudera-kun," Tsuna starts. Gokudera seems to be feeling a little guilt now. There, that should be enough for now.

I shake my head. 'Tsuna-san, you don't have to…" I say. I smile at him. I bow to Gokudera. "I'm sorry, Gokudera-san. I didn't mean to offend you."

Kyoko and Haru run over. "Okay! We're here! Sorry for being a little late!"

"Okay. Everyone's here now," says Yamamoto.

Tsuna nods. "Let's divide up into teams then."

The teams ended up being: myself, Haru, Gokudera, and Lambo. (In other words a team of people Gokudera says he can't stand.) The other team is Tsuna, Yamamoto, Kyoko, and I-Pin. I peek from behind our hastily made snow-mound for defense. "They're still hiding behind the wall, but I can see Yamamoto-san's jacket from here," I whisper to Haru. I glance at Gokudera, who seems to be busy trying to sneak over to the other side. I pick up a snowball and pop up over the mound for just long enough to throw the snowball at the corner of Yamamoto's jacket. It misses by a little and the attack is quickly returned.

Haru gets ready to jump up. "I'm charging in!" she exclaims.

I grin and nod. "Good luck!" I reply. She jumps up and starts to throw the snowballs all over in a berserk way. She manages to hit Kyoko, who in return cheers for Haru. I giggle a little as she gets I-Pin, but get hit by a snowball. "It's Lambo-kun's turn now," I say.

"Guahaha! Lambo-sama will win! Just watch henchmen!" the small child exclaims with a haughty laugh.

I nod. "Good luck." He runs out and attempts to get Tsuna out, but Yamamoto defends Tsuna with a tree branch lying around. He swings that the snowball as though it were a baseball. That leaves just me and Gokudera… I glance over to the said male to see that he looks upset as he dodges a snowball that comes at him. I peek over the mound again, only to have to dodge a snowball that was thrown at a surprisingly slow speed compared to the ones from before. Tsuna's going easy on me, isn't he? I can't help but pout a little. It doesn't mean that I won't use this to my advantage though. As I duck down I gasp and exclaim, "S-Scary!"

"Tch." Gokudera shows that he's clearly unimpressed. I motion for him to come over timidly. He has a defiant expression on. I give him a pleading look with a slight pout and he gives in, making his way over to me with dodging the occasional snowball.

I look at him with a slightly awestruck look. "Amazing… How did you dodge so many snowballs so easily?" I ask I start to make more snowballs diligently.

"There were only five," he replies as he crosses his arms.

I nod. "I know, but still…" I reply. I tilt my head to the side a little as I ask, "Anyways, what do we do now? It's only the two of us left…"

"Let's give up. I don't want to go against the Tenth," he says.

I smile and nod. "Okay."

"What? Really?" he asks. He seems surprised that I agreed so quickly.

"Mm-hm." I nod. "If that's what you want to do, then we'll stop. It's supposed to be for fun right? If you're not enjoying yourself then there's no point in playing." I continue to smile at him. "Why don't we ask if you can make the teams so Lambo and I-Pin can continue to play? Does that sound alright?" I suggest.

"S-Sure…" He still looks a bit confused.

I stand up and call out, "We give up!"

"R-Really?" Tsuna asks. He peeks over the mound of snow. I nod. He and Yamamoto start to walk over.

"Can Gokudera-kun pick the teams next round?" I ask.

"Yeah, sure," Tsuna replies. I smile at Gokudera.

Surprisingly, I never got hit. I guess they all didn't want to hurt me? I let out a small sigh as I walk back home with three cups of hot chocolate in my hands. The weather was weird today. It's supposed to be getting warmer out. I look at the sky as I continue to walk home. It's starting to get dark out. The plan starts soon... I wonder if...maybe, I'm getting attached to them… A tense feeling washes over me and its simply training that allows me to continue walking down the sidewalk as my joints start to stiffen on me. I can't let that happen. But...is it too late? I shove the thought out of my mind. I need to be able to walk normally or they'll know something is up. My stride returns to normal as I walk into the building and find Ken in front of the television playing video games as usual. "Ken, I brought you some hot chocolate. Here," I say with a smile. I place the cup on a stool next to his chair. The tense feeling is gone. I know in my heart that I could never betray my family. My family is here, not there.

His eyes don't leave the screen as he exclaims happily, "Oh! Hot chocolate!" I smile to myself as I walk away.

I walk down the hallway to find Chikusa. His hair looks a bit moist, meaning he came out of the shower a little while ago. "Chikusa, I got hot chocolate for you," I say as I hand him the cup.

"Thanks," he replies in his usual tone. He seems a little bored actually.

I smile at him. "You're welcome. Do you know were Onii-chan is?"

"He's in the theater. Is Ken still playing that game?"

"Yup."

Chikusa sighs. "He's been on that irritating thing all day. The sound effects are annoying."

"Oh, I have something for that. Come on, I'll go get it," I say as I start to walk down the hall and I motion for him to follow. I walk to my room and go to my nightstand drawer. I pull out a pair of earplugs from the package of them and give them to Chikusa, who seems to have finished the hot chocolate on the way here.

"Ah, thanks." He puts them into his ears and walks off. I too walk out after a while, in search of Onii-chan.

The theater has almost no light now that it's dark out. I don't know why Onii-chan won't turn on the light, but I don't say anything. Maybe it spoils the mood in the room or something. "Onii-chan, I got you hot chocolate," I say as I walk over to his couch.

He smiles. "Oh? You seem to be getting things on the way back all the time now."

I tilt my head to the side a little. "Is that bad?" I ask as I pass him the cup.

"Not at all. Do as you like, my little Hisoka." He pats my head.

"Okay!"

Silence washes over us for a bit and Onii-chan asks, "Is something bothering you?"

I nod a bit slowly. "It's the upcoming thing. I can't shake the bad feeling, Onii-chan," I admit. "I really hope that I'm wrong." The problem is, the feeling is usually right. I take in a deep breath and exhale. I smile. "Then again, it's Onii-chan they're going up against. Onii-chan is the best; he never loses," I say. This is mostly for me, because I need to be convinced that nothing bad will happen.

"See, there's nothing to worry about," Onii-chan says. He continues to smile.

I nod. "Right."
