• Clam, Fortune Rope and Phlox

Yuki is scribbling on her notebook a chibi version of a male and colored the hair with her black pen on hand, kind of messy hair but still being keep in place. She stared at it, unaware(ignoring) of the commotion behind her, on the door of the room where Lambo is.

She wears the school's autumn uniform because its already October, 'Time flies so fast.' She thought. Her raven hair that ends with sky blue glide horizontally with the wind around her as her ocean blue eyes look below the building with no emotions.

She sits on the other side of the fence of the school's rooftop, as her legs hang at the edge of the roof. She close her eyes slowly and right hand travel to her chest, where her necklace is, 'Time really flies too fast... Its that time again before I knew it..' She thought.

Blue eyes observes the necklaces in front of her. Tomorrow is October 14, Sawada Tsunayoshi's birthday, so she plan to gift him a present from her.

"Are you going buy, miss?" The sales lady as with a smile, 'What a pretty girl.'

Yuki blink, getting out of her thoughts and look at her, "Yes, do you have necklace that have a clam?"

"Clam...?"

"Yes."

"Let me ask our manager, miss. Please sit over there and wait, if you would." And the sales lady left.

Yuki sat on where she told to and cross her legs, patiently waiting while tapping her index finger on the couch with a thoughtful mind. Soon, the sales lady finally arrive and lead her to where the necklace she is requesting to see.

"I will buy this one, please."

The sales lady sweat, "Miss, I think that would be too much for you-"

"I will buy it."

"Yes."

Its a necklace with gold chain and gold small clam, its like a real clam because of its structure but its still made of gold. She thought its the one to gift Tsunayoshi because its a clam, 'How ironic.' She thought with a giggle.

Yuki open the door of her house and sat on the couch on the leaving room with a small box on her hand. Its the box where the necklace is. She stared at it for a moment with blank eyes and thought, 'That's right... Tsuna will have an accident at Reborn's birthday today and will be hospitalized tomorrow...'

She get something from the table, a letter, a letter of invitation from Reborn that she rejected. Its true that she wanted to be close with the Vongola but she doesn't want to be on their chaotic life, at all. Her life and mind are already in chaos, so no thank you.

While unknowingly to her, Reborn is a little disappointed at her refusal. He planned on making her close to the family with the event.

She look at the clock, 'Maybe I should take a visit.'

The next day,

Yuki wore a denim skirt paired and yellow blouse with cold shoulder sleeves, and black kitty heels paired with a black shoulder bag and paper bag on her hands. She lock the door of her house and started to walk to a certain household.

She stop in front of a house and look at the name plate,
