Hi! This is my first fanfiction! I've had this account for a while now so I'm not all that new to the game. *Wink wink* I recently got my computer fixed and one of my first thoughts was: why not post a fanfic for one of my favorite anime? But, enough about me, shall we begin?

It was an unusually peaceful day for the [No Names]. No [Gift Games] were scheduled to be held, no unneeded problems arose, and everyone was helping out the children on the farm, well— almost everyone. A certain problem child was nowhere to be found. Or maybe it was just that, they hadn't the skills to find him.

Black Rabbit put down her shovel and sat on the dirt. It may have been a peaceful day but it was hot— very hot. Kuro Usagi took out her beloved paper fan and fanned herself. Usually, the fan would be used on certain problem children when they began their usual antics, but not today. Not yet anyway.

Asuka and You noticed that Black Rabbit had stopped and walked over to her. "So why'd you stop?" the oujo asked, sitting down on Kuro Usagi's right. Black Rabbit moaned, "It's just so hot that I had to take a break." You positioned herself on Kuro Usagi's left, "It is pretty hot..." she agreed.

Black Rabbit, however, wasn't about to stop there, "And what's more," she continued, "we probably would've finished today's goal if hewas here helping!" The two girls sighed, they also had wondered where Izayoi had run off to. If he was doing something fun, they had a right to join him— they were all brought to Little Garden at the same time, after all.

You stood up and dusted off her jacket, "It'd be better for everyone if we complained after we finished." she said, going off to continue what she was doing. Asuka followed shortly after, leaving Black Rabbit by herself once again. Kuro Usagi sighed, putting away her fan and rising to her feet, "Damn that problem child..." she muttered, getting ready to continue with work.

It was 8pm and Izayoi still hadn't returned.

"Maybe something happened?" Black Rabbit asked, with concern in her voice. Asuka looked up from her seat at the table, "or maybe he returned already and just didn't inform anybody." she said, rather annoyed. "That is a possibility..." You chimed in.

"Black Rabbit will go check his room!" she announced, and started marching towards the door, she stopped abruptly, "You two can go sleep, Kuro Usagi will take care of this!" she said, before continuing her ascent towards Izayoi's room. The two at the table sighed, but did what she said because they were rather exhausted from the day's work.

Black Rabbit halted in front of the problem child's room door, contemplating whether to knock or to enter uninvited. She grasped the door knob but froze when she heard footsteps growing louder. She turned to face the end of the hall, eye twitching because she knew what she was doing could be interpreted the wrong way. She was on the boys floor of the building.

"Oh... Kuro Usagi..." a voice said, getting closer, until finally a small figure appeared in the light of the hallway. Black Rabbit let out a sigh of relief, "Jin-bocchan..." she said. Jin looked towards Kuro Usagi's hand that was still clutching the door knob. "Aaaahhhh... That's Izayoi-kun's room, isn't it?" he began, with a calm voice. Well aware that it was the problem child's bedroom Kuro Usagi was attempting to go in.

Black Rabbit looked at where his gaze was directed, face turning a dark shade of pink, "Oh no—this isn't—I didn't mean to—I was only—" Jin chuckled, interrupting her frantic way of explaining herself, "If you're looking for Izayoi, he's in the library." he said before waving his hand signaling 'goodbye' and entering his room which was a few doors down. Black Rabbit stared at the door in disbelief, is Izayoi rubbing off on Jin-bocchan?!

The rabbit snapped out of it and decided to head for the library that was in the basement of the [No Names] building. Black Rabbit stopped at the twin doors, noticing that a light was on inside. She gulped and then barged into the library. Her eyes spotted the boy sitting on the floor, surrounded by piles of books. He wasn't causing any destruction, he was quiet and reading.

Kuro Usagi got closer, "You were in here all day weren't you?" she asked, hands on her hips, ears twitching. Izayoi looked up from the book he was reading and then eyed her, "Yeah, what about it?" he said before directing his gaze back to the book. "You promised you were going to help today! Everyone was on the farm helping the children mend the fields! Even Asuka-san and You-san helped!" she exclaimed, angry that the problem child had broken a promise.

Izayoi didn't look up from his book but replied, "That's probably because they were just bored. If something interesting was going on, do you really believe that they would be helping out on the farm?" Black Rabbit sweatdropped, it wasn't impossible but it was very unlikely. "Of course!" she declared, ignoring her earlier thought, "Asuka-san and You-San aren't like you!" she said, hitting him on the head with a paper fan.

Izayoi mumbled something inaudible under his breath and then said, "Okey, we'll ask them tomorrow." Black Rabbit tensed a bit, knowing her statement was wrong, and also knowing that the problem children were not informed about what day tomorrow is. "Changing the subject..." Izayoi began, "Are you leaving yet? You're interrupting my studies." he said with a harsh voice that made Kuro Usagi flinch. "H-hai... I'm going..." she replied, before walking off with her ears drooping. Izayoi sighed, "Now where was I?"

Black Rabbit walked until she reached her room and opened the door. Laying on her bed she thought more about Izayoi's sudden change of voice. It was really scary, but then again, she was bothering him while he was trying to read something.

He's been down here a lot lately, hasn't he? Always reading. Hmmm... now that I think about it, what kinds of books has he been reading? Ones particularly specifying in the different types of gifts that one can have.

He must be curious considering his gift is 'Code:Unknown.' That still doesn't explain why he could've gotten so angry, maybe he was reading something important? Or maybe it's because I hit him for no reason...? If that's really the case then I'm going to have to deal with his wrath tomorrow... With tomorrow being what it is and all... I'll be in for quite the hectic day.

The rabbit slapped her hands against her cheeks. I'll think about this another time. It's all too confusing. She decided, and then drifted off to sleep.

Leticia was moving up and down in the kitchen, maneuvering from place to place. Pest and Shirayuki also entered the kitchen after finishing setting the table for breakfast. The three maids worked as fast and delicately as they could.

Little time for arguments, for they wanted to finish before everyone woke up. It was a day all the children of the community looked forward to. Pest and Shirayuki were filled in by Leticia but the problem children were not aware.

Leticia knew how much the children loved this day. So a rule was put forth: No one was to do any work that day. The children were allowed to play to their heart's content. It alleviated some of the stress the children had gained all year.

Of course, there were other days like this that they didn't have to work, but with all their recent achievements gift game wise and farming wise, everyone was looking forward to this day the most — for it was the closest break day available. The Eastern Floor's Harvest Festival.

Don't forget to leave a review! I don't bite! I'm looking forward to your opinions!
