Yeah, I know I'm supposed to be re-writing my other story and working on it's sequel, plus work on the TakeshiXOC story, but this popped in my head and I was like, " I have to write this story." So here it is, hope you like it and I'm sorry I'm not doing my other stories like I said I would.

Disclaimer: I don't own KHR. Just plot and Lucy, plus anyone else who somehow ends up in the story.

Oh, and they are very mature eight year old right now. Heh heh...

"Okaa-san! Can I buy that journal?" A little eight year old with brown gravity defying hair and big doe like eyes asked, pulling on the hem of his mother's skirt. The short haired woman looked down at her son, and replied as she handed him the money. "Sure Tsu-kun!" She smiled warmly as he ran off to get the book he wanted.

When he got to the shelf, he saw the very last copy of the book he wanted. It was white with a simple, orange, cartoon tuna fish on it, and the word 'Journal' above that in orange as well. Picking it up and inspecting it, his eyes sparkled with happiness as he ran to the counter and handed the lady the book and money. He then grabbed his new book and ran off to his mother, missing the knowing smile of the lady behind the counter before she was surrounded by white smoke and disappearing.

~L~

"Finally! I have enough money to buy that journal! It took forever to get enough money." An eight year old girl with brown hair in pigtails said as she picked up her small purple purse and put on her shoes. She then ran down the stairs and out the door, shouting "I'm going!" Her mother sighed before shaking her head. I'm so glad this town is small and safe, unlike where we used to live.

The girl ran down the street, avoiding other people on the street. When she found the book store, she opened the door and stepped inside, catching her breath before walking to the back of the store. There on the shelf, was a white book with a simple, orange, cartoon tuna fish on it, and the word 'Journal' in orange above it. She picked it up, and noticed it was the last copy. Yay! I made it before they ran out! She thought as she walked up to the counter.

"That'll be ten yen please." The lady behind the counter said as the girl fished for the money in her purse. She pulled out ten yen and handed it to the lady, who smiled. The girl grinned as she took the book back from her and left the store, the lady smiling as she burst into white smoke and vanished.

The boy with gravity defying hair plopped onto his bed and gabbed a pencil, before opening the book and looking at the first page. The page had orange lines and in the bottom corner was the same tuna fish on the cover. He then picked up the pencil and started to write in it.

Hello Journal! I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi! I'm eight years old! I hope we can be friends!

He then reread what he wrote, content with that for now, and shut the book. Hearing his mother call him, he set down the book and pencil next to his pillow and ran out of his room. His foot slipped and he fell down the stairs, landing on the very bottom and started crying. His mother then picked him up and set him on her hip, before calming him down.

~L~

The girl threw open the front down and shouted "I'M HOME!" before running up the stairs and into her room. She plopped onto the chair to her desk and opened the book to the first page, which had orange lines and the same tuna fish that was on the cover in the corner. She was about to write in it, but on the first line, words started to fade onto the page.

Hello Journal! I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi! I'm eight years old! I hope we can be friends!

She raised a brow, knowing books can't do that. She tried to erase it, but to no avail. Folding her arms over her chest, she huffed and tried to think of why her book was so strange. Maybe it's magic! And I can talk to someone, like I would on a phone, only I have to write what I say instead! She mentally exclaimed, before picking up her pencil and writing back a response.

Hello Sawada! It would be nice to be friends with you! I'm Lucy, and I'm eight as well!

Smiling at the chance she might actually be able to talk to someone who was her age, she set down the pencil and waited for an answer.

~T~

He ran into his room and grabbed his journal and opened it. He gasped, seeing the reply he got. What? How? He asked himself as he looked at the words, before reaching one thought that made him smile. I can have a friend! Finally! He grabbed his pencil and wrote back.

Hello Lucy, please call me Tsuna! I'm so glad we can be friends!

Words then started to appear under what he wrote.

Tsuna? I thought your first name was Sawada? OH, you must be Japanese. Sorry about that, I forgot Japanese people say their surname first. I actually live in Japan, even though I'm English.

He smiled with glee as he hopped around his room. I have a friend! I have a friend! He sang in his head, then calmed himself and wrote back to her.

Really?! That's so cool! How come you had to move, and how are you so good at Japanese?

Well, my dad got a promotion, and he now has to work in the HQ, which is in Japan. We had to move with him, since he didn't want to leave us all alone. I was only two at the time, so I had plenty of time to get used to Japan :)

OOOHHH!

~L~

She chuckled as she saw the reply. This was the first time she ever actually talked to someone outside of her family, and she loved it. Tsuna was her only friend, and it was probably going to be that way for a while, since everyone hates her at school. Lucy really wonders what he looks like, and just more about him. She then mentally paused, her thoughts becoming darker. I wonder if he knows my pain. She thought as her bangs shadowed her eyes, a tear sliding down her face and onto the paper.

Suddenly, more words appeared on the paper.

Hey, Lucy-Chan, are you okay?! Are you crying?! Please don't! I'm sure you're pretty with a smile, so smile!

Wha...how...? Ah, the paper. She thought as she wiped away the tears on her cheek before replying.

Don't worry, I'm fine! My water bottle spilled a little on the paper. Sorry about that.

It's okay...

~T~

He had a feeling she was lying. He didn't know how or why, he just knew, but he dropped it for now. After all, he didn't want to loose his friend. His first and only friend.

Well, here is my very short beginning. The chapters after this will be just them talking through the book, then the plot will actually start. Before each journal chapter, I'll tell you how old they are and if there is anything you should know about the original plot line from KHR, like "He just saved Yamamoto from committing suicide" or "After the Mukuro Arc." Stuff like that. Hope you aren't confused and enjoyed this. Please feel free to ask any questions and sorry for mistakes.
