AN:
Since I created the poll a year ago. I had no intention to make this because I had tons and tons of things to do but since I did promise myself—kind of like a New Year's Resolution—that I was going to write this. And if you are wondering why I have not yet updated my other stories...well just go and read my profile. You'll know. Plus there is a small interview with my OC from From Now To Tomorrow too (You know, if you have nothing else to do or just really, really curious). Enjoy to those who voted most on this story!


Smile: 3 yrs. Old

The sky was gray and the sun hid behind the clouds. The air was cold and the day was ending. Two figures stood atop of a hill as the sun started to set, making the sky a bright color of orange. As the night started to sink in, the two figures moved away from hill, walking down towards the limo just at the bottom. The second figure was short, just two inches above the knee of the first. She had short brown hair and sparkling golden eyes. As she held the hand of the first figure, she looks up at him as she watches tears pouring down from his gentle face.

"Why are you crying, daddy?" She asks innocently as she titled her head to the side. The first figure looks down sadly at the young girl beside him. He stops walking and kneels down in front of her. He ruffles up her short brown hair with a pained smile.

"It's because mommy won't be here anymore," He says sadly. The little girl frowns as she looks back up at the hill. The tombstone already starting to disappear from their sight.

"You're wrong daddy, mommy is still here. She told me so!" His eyes widen as the young girl turns to him with a bright smile. The smile almost mimicking her mother's smile.

"What do you mean, Yuki-chan?" He asks sweetly, despite his broken heart.

"Well, it's because mommy said, yesterday, in that icky white room! She told me that she was never going to leave me and that she will always be watching from above! She'll be watching me, Uncle Reborn, Uncle Hayate, Uncle Takeshi, and everyone else! She even said that she'll watch over you, daddy!" She smiles, so widely that he is left speechless. For a moment…for a small moment…

"You're right. Mommy will always be watching over us. And protecting us."

"Exactly! Now smile daddy! Like this!" Yuki pulls on the side of her mouth and grins happily. Showing all of her still growing teeth. He smiles happily in return.

"Can I go first, daddy? It looks like Uncle Hayato is sad too. I'm going to give him a hug, so he'll smile!" He smiles softly as he gives her a light kiss on the cheek.

"Yes, you should go and give him a hug." Yuki grins happily as she runs down the hill and barreling into Gokudera, knocking him off of his feet. Yuki laughs happily as Gokudera bit his lip to stop himself from cursing.

Tsuna stood up and looked towards the grave where his beloved wife laid in peace. A smile touches his lips as he places his hands deep inside his pockets. Touching the golden ring—her ring.

"She's as strong as you were…"

"Daddy! Come on! Uncle Hayate promised that his going to buy me ice cream! Hurry up!"

Tsuna turns around and smiles at the sight of Yuki waving at him and Gokudera dusting dirt off of his pants—but with a small smile on his lips.

"I'm coming!" Tsuna turns back to the hill and closes his eyes as the chilly wind gently caresses his face. The face of the woman he loved flashed in his mind and a lone tear rolls down his face.

"I promise to protect Yuki-chan with my life…Mizu-chan."


To those who read my From Then To Now and From Now To Tomorrow. Then you will know who Tsuna's wife is. :)
