Kazuko was genuinely confused. They were just at the cake shop. Then somehow they were at the Tsuna boys house. It wasn't too far from the school Hana and Kyoko went to. They walked back to his house and Kazuko introduced herself to everyone. The girl that was in the shop with Tsuna was his friend and her name was Haru. She was a nice girl and in the short time they spent walking she realized that Haru was very...enthusiastic and carefree. She was very similar to Kyoko in some ways. Tsuna, however, Kazuko couldn't get a read on. He didn't seem to stand out, dull.

Once they got to his house they were greeted by a woman, Tsuna's mother. She was a pretty woman, she had short brown hair and big brown eyes. Everyone greeted her and took their shoes off by the front door before adjoining upstairs. When Tsuna opened the door to his room they were greeted with two more people, a baby and someone else who seemed a bit older than her. Kazuko, of course, was introduced to them one by one.

The first person was Lambo, a boy. When she greeted him she noticed is right eye had remained closed. His outfit consists of a black jacket with a cowhide pattern collar, which was somewhat opened and left the upper half of his chest out, he wore a necklace with a bull pendant, beige pants, and sandals.

The second baby was strange but rather adorable with an egg shaped head. Her name was I-Pin. She was bald except for a single braid in the middle of her head. Her eyes seemed to stay closed and she wore a red cheongsam-style shirt with white sleeve cuffs over dark shorts.

Everyone sat at a small table Tsuna brought to his room and everyone was seated with desserts displayed in front of them. Kazuko felt a little uncomfortable having, what felt like, a party with people she had just met. Kazuko turned to Kyoko and sighed. Her friend was happy and content so she let it go. Who knew, maybe these people could be new friends?

"How is it, Reborn and Kazuko?" Kyoko asked. Kazuko slid her fork into a piece of her cake and took a small bite. The chocolate frosting tasted fantastic. The yellow cake was soft like a sponge. It was delicious.

"It's very good," Kazuko answered with a small hum.

"The Mont Blanc is quite good," the baby answered. That's right. She was introduced to Reborn too. He was quite the character alright. He was a baby as well. He was slightly tanned with black spiky hair and thin curly sideburns. He had somehow changed his attire to an all black suit, red long sleeve shirt, black necktie, and black fedora with an orange strip. There was also a small chameleon on his hat that Reborn introduced as Leon.

There was something familiar about him though. Kazuko could feel it as she glanced over at him. He was sitting next to her in a small chair. His gaze felt familiar.

"That's great," Haru beamed, "I highly recommend it."

Kazuko glance around the table once more and noticed Tsuna, sitting down quietly. He looked a bit disappointed while he was watching Kyoko. Now that she thought about it, he had been watching her since they left the cake shop.

"Go on, I-Pin. Help yourself!" Kyoko said as she scooted a piece of cake in front of the little girl who was sitting between her and Haru.

"Thank you," I-Pin said happily.

"We bought a whole bunch, so we have plenty left," Haru agreed.

"Yeah," Tsuna said timidly before he leaned over and whispered something to Lambo. Kazuko didn't hear what they said and ignored it. Kazuko jolted a bit when she felt a vibration by her leg. She reached into her purse and pulled out her phone. Her sister's name was on the caller ID.

"That's a cute phone Kazuko," Kazuko looked up at Haru, who had complimented her. Her phone was a large white Docomo smartphone with a sparkly pink phone case and cute phone strap with a ballerina attached at the end.

"Thank you," Kazuko said as she stood, "Excuse me. I have to take this call."

Kazuko quickly made her way to the hallway and closed the door before she answered her phone.

"Hello," Kazuko greeted with a hushed tone. Kazuko felt as if her ear drums would burst when her sister's voice was heard loudly on the other end.

"LITTLE SISTER!"

"What is it?" Kazuko snapped angrily.

"Did you forget you had a Dance recital this evening?" Kazuko sighed heavily as she massaged her temple. She did forget. She had tried to make up for ditching Kyoko and Hana but she couldn't start ditching her responsibilities too.

"I'll be on my way," Kazuko said as she pressed the end button before her sister had a chance to rebuttal. Kazuko opened the door to Tsuna's room then quickly retrieved her purse and coat.

"I'm sorry," Kazuko said hurriedly, "I have to go. I forgot to do something important today. It was nice meeting you all!"

Kazuko bowed deeply before closing the door abruptly, cutting off everyone's short goodbyes, and making her way downstairs. She hurried to the door, slid her shoes on, and left.

Kazuko barely had her coat on and buttoned before she made a break down the empty and chilly street. She ran as fast as she could, her hair flying in the breeze. She was going to get scolded by her sister once she got there. Her sister was very particular about tardiness, which irritated Kazuko since her sister was always late too.

As Kazuko ran her eyes caught a glimpse of something, it was a person. Kazuko's eyes locked with steel gray eyes. It was him. The boy she met a few weeks ago. Kazuko had been running so fast her legs wouldn't allow her to even stop to acknowledge him. But he was watching her as she watched him. Kazuko ran past the boy and she felt like her heart was going to burst. Maybe it was because she was running so quickly, but this feeling was different. Maybe she was just overexerting herself, she did wake up pretty early.
