Chapter I

Haru woke up alone again inside the mansion.

Tsuna and the rest of the family went on a trip without her and left her one Sunday morning, it was eight days ago. It's been a week since they left her behind and she was completely aware that Tsuna did it on purpose. She was the reason why Kyoko almost died, she shot her twice near the chest for the reason that she just wanted to take those men down but she shot Kyoko instead. They were kidnapped, she got the gun from Kyoko's purse and aimed it on the kidnapper behind the orange haired lady, but unfortunately, she shot the other girl. Tsuna was beyond furious, he blamed her for that, if it wasn't for Yamamoto and Bianchi , she might have been banished by Tsuna by now. Instead, he stopped talking to her and so was Kyoko, they both hated her.

Another set of tears were tempting to fall on her face.

It has been 10 years now but her love for Tsuna was still strong, stronger that she could ever imagined. That twelve years old boy who saved her from drowning changed so much, he isn't that lumpy student anymore. No one could believe that he single handed down the bad guys, the mafia, he became more taller, bigger, and she just couldn't stop loving him no matter what.

And she hated herself for that.

"Hn. You're crying again"

Haru looked over and saw Hibari leaning against the door, with his straight-faced expression. She quickly wiped the tears away and stood up from her bed. She walked towards Hibari and held his face.

"You're beat. What happened?" she asked worryingly.

Hibari scoffed and walked away, "You know what happened" he said.

Haru narrowed her eyes and grabbed his arm. "You fight with Mukuro again, didn't you?"

Hibari looked back at her and messed her hair. "Don't worry, I have my reasons" he said. "And besides...don't mind me. If you're crying again because of what happened, don't worry. Sooner or later, they'll realize. Just wait."

Haru wasn't able to ask him what was he talking about, he walked away leaving her behind, clueless of what he just said. She sighed and went back inside her room to change her clothes. When she finished doing so, she went to the kitchen to drink some tea, she was walking towards the door through the kitchen when she noticed someone had already occupied the place. She peeked through the door and her eyes widened.

They're back.

She saw Yamamoto talking to Lambo while Gokudera was busy arguing with her sister (gladly, she was wearing her goggles) and Tsuna...he was talking to Kyoko, with a huge smile plastered on his face. She slowly took her steps back, to leave the place, when suddenly, a hand reached her shoulder and stopped her.

"Where do you think you're going?"

It was just Hibari.

She took a deep sighed and looked at him and to the door. "I don't want to spoil their morning."

"You aren't spoiling anyone's morning, Herbivore."

Haru raised an eyebrow. "And since when did you call me that?" she said and giggled.

"Oh, Haru! Good morning! You're looking lovely as always!" Yamamoto exclaimed.

Haru felt her heart stopped for a second, she froze as she felt their stares at her. Hibari's hand pulled her more closely at him and from the corner of her eyes, she saw Tsuna's eyes twitched. She looked up to Hibari's face, she was trembling, scared of what they'll say.

"What is she doing here?" Tsuna asked.

Haru jumped in shock when she heard Tsuna's voice.

"She's here to eat with us, aren't you Haru-chan?" Kyoko asked.

Tsuna looked at Kyoko. "Are you sure? Kyoko-"

"Don't worry. Haru-chan sure won't shoot me again, she's tamed now." She said.

Bianchi and the others gasped in horror. They never expected Kyoko to say something like that. Tsuna too was a bit taken back of what Kyoko had just said, he knew that wasn't very good to say, but he brushed that off, he's on her side after all. On the other side, Haru felt a lump on her throat, her tears will bust anytime soon. She was indeed very hurt, she never thought Kyoko would say something so hurtful to her like that.

"How dare you talk to her like that?!" Bianchi yelled in anger.

Haru was trembling, she looked to Tsuna and saw him looking away from her, while Kyoko, she was just sipping her tea like she doesn't care at all. Hibari gripped on her shoulders tighter, she was so thankful that Hibari was beside him, he kept her calm.

"Thank you" she whispered to him.

"You knew I almost died because of her" Kyoko hissed.

"What?!" Bianchi yelled again. She was so pissed with Kyoko, she walked towards her and said, "Listen here, princess. If it wasn't for Haru, you might be really dead by now! She knocked all those men, and what did you do?! You just yelled there like an complete idiot all the time! You couldn't even hold your gun! It was pointless to teach you, all these years! You don't have the rights to yell at her and blame her, it was your reason you were kidnapped on the first place!"

Bianchi's face was as red as a tomato, she couldn't believe this girl. Where did she have that guts to blame Haru when it was entirely her fault. Kyoko was humiliated in front of everyone, in front of Tsuna. And then, she started crying, trying to get Tsuna's sympathy.

"Kyoko" Haru whispered.

Tsuna's head snapped towards Haru, his eyes were so mad. "Go away. Just go!" he yelled at her to go away.

Haru saw how angry Tsuna was, she was so hurt she quickly ran away from that place.
