Disclaimer: I don't own KHR, unfortunately. If I did, Haru would have more loving going around because she has a lot of character potential.

Summary: Haru's relationship with a certain guardian did not end on a well note. He's in already in another relationship while she's still healing. However, will the arrival of an ally famiglia offer her another opportunity at finding love?

A brunette sat in the corner of the living room of the Vongola Headquarters. From the corner of her eyes, she watched as a couple was chatting to one another. It was more of the female who was speaking, but the male looked like he was rather interested in whatever was being said, and a small smile was on his face. He was slightly leaning towards the younger woman to hear her better and the dirty blonde haired female blushed at the close proximity. The 20 year old woman couldn't help but inwardly scowl, and subconsciously tighten her grip on the piece of paper she had been reading.

A week.

It had only been a week since they had broken up, and he's already in a relationship with a new woman. Apparently the 3 ½ years that they were together meant absolutely nothing to him if he was over her that quickly. The person in front of her watched with subtle interest and turned his attention to what she was focused on at the moment. And when he realized who she was paying attention to, he frowned. Choosing to draw her attention back to him, he placed a reassuring and gentle hand on her knee. It worked and she turned her gaze back to the long haired male in front of her.

"Aa, sorry about that, Mukuro-san. What were you saying?"

"Haru-san, would you prefer a different scenery instead?" He asked her, in all seriousness. Haru blinked before slowly nodding, and with her permission, his illusion snapped into place, effectively creating the imagery of a forest setting.

Her friendship with the Vongola Mist Guardian started off rather...awkward, in her opinion. The first time they had ever spoken was when she and her now ex-boyfriend had gotten into their first serious argument. The guardian had found her alone and crying in one part of the garden and had, surprisingly, comforted her. He was awkward with it, as he had never really comforted a crying woman before, but he slowly got better. Each time she had an argument or falling out with her former lover, it was the Mist guardians of the Vongola who seemed to be cheering her up the most. Normally, it was comical illusions and other times, it was just a plain old beautiful scenery. That was how her sibling like relationship with the two mist guardians had formed.

"Better?"

"Much, thank you, Mukuro-san" Haru smiled, and looked at the paper once more. She sweat dropped when she realized that the paper was now in the form of a snowball. "U-Um...oops?"

"Kufufufu, Haru-san, it seems like we need to teach you to better control your temper." Mukuro chuckled, earning a sheepish grin from his younger companion. "I was going to ask you, if you could accompany me in rendezvousing with someone in the next town over."

"E-Eh? Me? Wouldn't it be a better choice to take Chrome-san, or one of the other guardians?"

"I think you are misunderstanding, Haru-san, it isn't a mission or anything of the sort. We are just going to meet with an old friend is all."

Haru frowned slightly, not really liking the devilish grin that was on the male's face. If she learned anything about this guardian over the years, it was that expression currently on his face meant he was up to no good. She lowered her head and narrowed her eyes, seemingly debating on his offer. Sensing her apprehension, he reached over the coffee table, and placed his fingers under her chin, tilting her head upwards to get a better look. He chuckled again. It looked like she also wanted to cause a little bit of mischief, despite the fact that she was giving him a reprimanding look.

"Can we still bring Chrome-chan along anyways?" The male just smiled and nodded, and suddenly, his illusion had started crumble down. Both of them seemed somewhat startled, as the Mist guardian hadn't even made a move to remove the illusion himself. From the corner of her eyes, Haru noted that Mukuro looked irked when he realized who exactly ruined his beautifully casted illusion.

"Hibari Kyoya, is there something that you need?" Haru tensed and shifted uneasily in her seat as the Cloud guardian's gray eyes rested on her for quite some time. It was apparent that she was becoming uncomfortable and the Mist guardian dutifully took note. He stood and moved over to the couch where the now timid woman sat, carefully putting her behind him and out of sight. The Cloud guardian raised a brow at Mist's actions. "Haru-chan and I are having a rather important conversation at the moment."

Haru looked up at the back of her tall companion. He only called her Haru-chan whenever he wanted to either a) annoy her or b) annoy her former lover. Right now, it seemed like he was doing it for the second choice. It had always caused the Cloud's irritation level to go to an all time high whenever he heard Mukuro referring to the brunette with -chan. Deciding it would be best to play along, as she is safe with his protection, Haru spoke. After all, it shouldn't bother the distant cloud anyways.

"Mukuro-kun, I think we should speak with Tsuna-san regarding this matter before we do something." Haru ignored the look that the strongest guardian was giving her, her attention was solely on the man who wielded the Mist flame.

"You heard the young lady, she and I are busy at the moment, and do not need anything to be in our way." Mukuro stated, with mock politeness, "We must be on our way. Excuse us, Hibari Kyoya."

With that being said, Haru gratefully accepted the hand he held out to her, and quickly trailed behind him as he lead the way to the Vongola Decimo's office. She didn't miss the killer intent that lingered behind them though. As the duo made their way to the doorway of the living room, the blonde female, who was seated with the Cloud guardian moments ago, stood and bowed politely towards them. It irked the brunette some for an odd reason.

"Mukuro-sama, Haru-sama, please be safe on your next mission."

"Why, thank you for your kind words, Sachiko-san. Haru-chan and I will surely do so." It was a wonder why the other female could not detect the malice underneath.

Sachiko Fuyu. A wealthy, well brought up, half-japanese woman. A very beautiful in her own right. Her long, dirty blond hair was in soft waves, and cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her expressive cerulean eyes shined brightly every time she talked. A petite and slender figure, in every way displaying that she is, in fact, a lady. The way she moved and the way she spoke screamed 'elegance' and 'grace'. Soft spoken like the female mist guardian. There was not many that knew, but despite the innocent and sweet act, she was a fighter underneath it all. She could hold her ground and was quite skilled with a gun. Not only was she a beauty, but she also had brains, and could very much be on par with Haru and Gokudera. Although, despite her brains, she can be naïve. It was no wonder why she had so many suitors.

She was brought to the attention of the Vongola a little over a year ago. That was when Haru and the Cloud guardian had started to drift apart, and she and the Mist guardian had gotten closer. The brunette was not at all oblivious to the interest that Hibari had shown in the newcomer, in fact, it was painfully obvious to everyone except for the newcomer. Despite her fight worthy skills, Sachiko Fuyu, was still ranking below the other females of the famiglia, not that she minded. However, clearly, it bothered the normally stoic Cloud guardian, who had taken it upon himself to train her. All of the guardians, excluding the one previously mentioned, was cautious and careful not to tread on thin ice and further hurt their long time friend. Of course, even with the protection, support and comfort of Haru's friends, it didn't stop the falling out and result of a break up.

"Come, Haru-chan, we must not keep the Vongola Decimo and Chrome-chan waiting any longer."

Haru merely linked arms with the Mist Guardian, and allowed for him to tug her along, suppressing shudder as she felt like ice was piercing through her skin.

Tsuna glanced at the trio in front of him. He wasn't actually surprised at their request. He hadn't hesitated in his reply to them. Haru could use some fresh air and sunshine, without the Cloud guardian showing off his new woman. Tsuna didn't think of Hibari as the type to rub something in their faces. But whether the Cloud guardian was doing it on purpose or not, the Decimo didn't like seeing the pained look on Haru's face each time she saw them together.

It had taken the brunette a long time to get over her crush on the him, Tsuna knew, because the moment she announced that she was in a relationship with the stoic cloud guardian, he fainted out of astonishment and concern of her well-being. He was then promptly pushed into a ridiculous battle by his former tutor, to see if the other man was worthy of protecting the female brunette. The fight had ended with the Cloud guardian getting away with relatively no injuries while the unfortunate Decimo had several bumps and bruises decorating his body. And he was given a stern lesson by said former tutor.

"Be careful, Haru. And Mukuro-san, I am entrusting her safety to you and Chrome. Should anything happen to Har-"

"Vongola Decimo, I have already promised it upon Haru-san and myself that I will protect her from any harm that may come with this. Should something happen during our time away, I have already instructed for Chrome-chan to immediately return to headquarters with Haru-san while I deal with the more pressing matters."

That answer seemed to satisfy the younger male that sat behind the wooden desk, and nodded his approval.

"I will take your word, Mukuro-san. The three of you, please be safe."

"Of course, Tsuna-san" Haru smiled, and happily skipping over to give her boss a hug, which he returned. His past self would've done everything to get away from her hugs, but now he accepted them warmly and with open arms. "Thank you so much!"

"Have fun, Haru." He ruffled her hair playfully, much like an older brother would do to a younger sister, and waved them off. The Storm guardian, the right hand man of the Vongola Decimo, escorted them out. With a few parting words to his fellow guardian, he also bid them farewell and returned to the boss' side.

Unbeknownst to the trio, who had finally left the Vongola grounds, the two had been watching them until the car was no longer in sight. Gokudera turned his attention to his boss and ran a hand through his silver locks.

"I never thought it would've turned out this way." The bomber said, breaking the silence that fell in the room. Tsuna turned to his Storm guardian and sighed tiredly. He rubbed his eyes, and rolled his neck as well. He really needed to get some sleep.

"You and I both, Gokudera-kun. I just hope things will get better soon." The Decimo replied, "After all, our guests should be arriving any time this week. I don't want this tension to cause any more distress than it already has."

"That woman will get over him soon, Juudaime, I know she will."

Again, the brown haired male sighed, and prayed that his friend was right.

[To be continued?]

Okie dokie~ Err...I think this chapter is done? I dunno, it kinda just popped into my mind today, and I thought, 'Hey, why not'. I'm thinking about creating new OCs for this, or would it be better if I reuse the OCs from Constellation:Vega ? I mean, they aren't going to exactly be the same as in CV, other than name and appearance wise.

Please feel free to leave a review on whether or not I should continue this story. I don't mind constructive criticism, but please no flames. Thanks again for taking the time to read.
