The Other Side of Miura Haru
Chapter 1: Ha-Hi! They're Onto Me!
Summary: Miura Haru has always been a preppy, happy-go-lucky, person. Well, to the eyes of Tsuna and his friends. However, she has a different personality and only Kyoko knows about it. A side which only shows up at her school, Midori Academy! Set after the Future Arc. Slightly!AU
Pairing: Haru x ? (I'll put up a poll later yeah)
Rating: T
Disclaimer: I do not own, but I'm pretty sure Akira Amano does.
Warning: OOC-ness (obviously), cursing, some expectations that wasn't met but later repayed with some delicious healthy beverage (or junk food, whichever prefer), and some angst (like legit, I normally write happy stories, but I feel that Haru hit's me pretty hard.)
A/N: Ayeee, so another story! *gets bricked* I'M NOT FINISHED. *ahem* Welcome to another story, but this time, with Miura Haru! I always loved her spunky character and I was really saddened at how she doesn't show up much in the anime as much as I love to (but the story is focused around Tsuna and Reborn, so I can't really blame anyone). So, since we only know the side of Tsuna's life, what about Haru? I mean, I heard Midori Middle School was the toughest school a person can get into, but why? Ever ask that question before?
But then, it's an anime. They have no logic.
Literally.
Well, before I start ranting about some arbitrary nonsense, let's begin the story, yeah?
Oh, and I know I'm being illogical here, but Midori All-Girls Middle School, is better off as Midori Academy. Trust me, yeah?
She was very smart. Atleast, that's what her father, teachers, and peers had said. They always tend to say that whenever she speak intelligently with them. It's been that way ever since she started here in Midori Academy. It's why she often pretends to be goofy and speaks in 3rd person; to get rid of the annoying phrase, "Oh my, you're really smart, huh?"
Haru was a very smart girl, rather, a very smart young lady. Even if Gokudera calls her stupid or that Tsuna disregards her love proposals. She often wondered what it would take to have a person like Tsuna fall in love with her, because all she saw was a love triangle that will end in a way she did not like.
She was aware of what Tsuna felt for her friend, Kyoko. And she admits, this frustrated her to no end and made her rage with jealousy. However, she had no right to hate her best friend. Kyoko was a rather clueless person, but she was very loving and Haru can never hate a person who did nothing but love her. Besides, considering Tsuna and Kyoko went to the same school, hung around each other longer than she has, both factors were to be considered.
The brunette really knew the ending, but she didn't want to give up. Her big brother didn't give up, so she shouldn't either. And that's what she had decided.
The only problem is that, although she can go in and out freely from her school to Namimori, she's afraid that her, erm, 'friends', will notice.
And when they notice, Hell erupts.
"Eh, who's that person Haru's hanging out with?"
And Hell is just upon the horizon.
Haru was checking herself in the mirror of her bedroom. Her house was rather small, despite the high income her father has, but she found it rather comforting. She turned around, checking her back in case her vest got caught up in her undershirt again, but found that it wasn't and sighed.
'Almost ready,' The teen thought, softly padding towards her bed and grabbing her book-bag. She proceeded to walk down the steps and found a note stuck on the front door, a vibrant yellow standing out from the warm brown wood.
She took it and read, sighing to herself at the note:
'Dear Haru,
I'm leaving for another trip again. I'm sorry I left you home alone again since I just finished another trip, but I hope you understand that papa will always love you. Be careful and be safe, my dear. And make sure to eat healthy! Your sweet tooth has been growing lately and I don't want to see my daughter become gluttonous.
With love and more,
Papa'
She forced a smiled at the expectation her father had said. It's not like she can't disagree, since lately the brunette and Kyoko have been hanging out at their favorite cake shop. Softly shaking her head, she crumpled the note and threw it away at a near-by trash bin and proceeded to head out her door. Haru's forced smiled turned bright once she heard a 'Hiiiieeee!' in the distance.
"Tsuna-san sounds like he's having fun, desu," She whispered to herself, seeing a running figure up ahead. She closed the gate to her house and took a breath. Although the teen would love to become smart and stuff just to have a reason to help her beloved, she settled in with being her goofy self.
"Tsuna-saaaaan!" She called, running towards Tsuna with a glomp.
"HIIIEEE!?" He squeaked, "H-Haru!?"
"Ahaha, morning Haru!" Yamamoto laughed, catching up easily with Tsuna along with a hissing Gokudera.
"Get off of him, you stupid woman!" He spat. Haru swore she will punch his gut when she gets the chance.
"Ha-hi!" Haru fake a gasp, releasing Tsuna from her hug, "Haru's not a stupid person, desu!"
Yamamoto smiled, tilting his head, "We know, right, Gokudera? Haru does go to Midori Academy! Ahaha!"
"Midori Academy," A small voice piqued, "One of the toughest schools to be in simply because it's extravagant nature and the sections Midori is divided in."
Tsuna turned, his face paling as he saw Reborn in a treepot outfit, "Reborn!"
SMACK!
A large newspaper roll made contact with Tsuna's head, causing Haru and the gang to slightly wince. Haru really felt bad for Tsuna for having a spartan tutor like Reborn.
Yes, Haru was well aware of what and who Reborn is and was. She knew he was a mafia hitman, and the best one at that. She knew he was training Tsuna to be the Vongola Tenth, even if the flighty teen often rejected the proposal. And he was most certainly not a 5-year old baby.
But that didn't stop Haru from hugging the Arcobaleno to death. Which is what she's doing right now.
"Ha-hii~! Reborn-chan looks so cute, desu!" She squealed, hugging the baby in her grasp. Reborn didn't mind since he was use to her antics. However, he was curious as to why she was acting this way.
How does he know about Haru's other side?
He's Reborn.
"Fnn, Haru," Rebron spoke, breaking Haru's train of thoughts on how to molest Tsuna, "What is Midori like?"
She stiffened, feeling awkward at the mention of her school and quickly rushed to look at her watch, "Ha-hi! Which reminds Haru that she's going to be late, desu!" She putted Reborn down on the ground, smiling brightly (with a tad of force) at the gang, "Haru's going now, so bye-bye everyone!" And off she went.
Tsuna shook his head at the fangirl's antics and pushed aside his Hyper Intuition saying that Haru is hiding something. In the midst, Yamamoto laughed and wave cheerfully while Gokudera sent out a line of curses under his breath.
Reborn stared at Haru's running form, and smirked.
By the time Haru ran up to the gates of her school, she felt stares on her again. It wasn't unusual, considering she often clung to Tsuna and made loud proclaims of love to him, but this was a different type of stare.
The stare of admiration.
The stare of jealousy.
The stare of envy.
The teen pushed it aside, straightened herself up, and walked up to the police man who kept the gates open.
"Good morning," She politely spoke, the man nodding at her with a smile.
"Good morning, Mistress," He replied, "Are you well? You seem to be in a rush to come in today."
Haru brushed her hair to the side, "Haru's fine, thank you. Haru hope your day has been going well?"
A chuckle, "Yes, it has. The other masters are waiting for you in your office, by the way."
She gritted her teeth; whenever they're in her office, it always mean trouble. She rid her thoughts of throwing Gokudera at them away and smiled, "Thank you for informing Haru, desu. Have a nice day, Kurohiwa-san."
"You also, Mistress." And with that, she walked calmly into the academy. The word 'Mistress' often bothered her; she was use to Gokudera's 'wonderful' choice of words against her, so it felt weird to be addressed as someone who is higher up. Well, more higher than the 'higher up' part.
She glanced at the buildings around her, well aware but ignoring the stares brought on by the elementary, middle, and high school division students around her. She sighed.
Midori Academy was a not only tough, but elegant and rich also. It was a dream school most children often wanted to be in, but it was a nightmare to Haru. She wanted to be normal; grow up, get a job, marry, and have kids. Maybe a few splunders on her way to keep things alive. Lady Luck always manages to piss her off by creating a sharp turn of events on her life; especially those not involving her precious Tsuna.
Midori Academy was split into five sections; each section had a 'top' building, and that building has a head leader, which is often addressed as either 'Master' or 'Mistress' of the place. The Master or Mistress who was in charge must take in consideration of the teachings the school went. School board meetings to public announcements must be first confirmed by the Master or Mistress first before being released into the student eye. Also, they are in charge of the 'Class Rules', which is a set of rules and regulation a building must hold. It is different from the 'Hall Rules', which is basically the law of the school system set by the Principle and it is applied to every student.
One of the divisions is the dormitories, but since many students come from the residential area, it is mostly used as the storage house and sports area. However, some students, who are from abroad and is wishing to stay in the dorms, are allowed to stay in there. The area is often nicknamed the 'Dorts', the combination of 'dormitory' and 'sports'.
The last section was only one building; and it was small and quaint. Compared to the large buildings of the elementary, middle, high school, and the dorts, it stood out the most. It was in the far back, away from the ruckus of the scholars and people, and hidden away from any outsider's eyes. It was the place that was only strictly used for the Masters and Mistresses, and also the place that is in charge of all the other sections. Often called the 'White House' of Midori. Even with it's charming look, Haru found no comfort in it as she headed her way towards it.
She frowned when she glanced at the windows. The curtains were drawn and she silently hope it wasn't like that the entire morning because if she finds her plants half-dead, she will murder somebody.
The high schooler walked up to the front door, marveling at the simple wooden panel in front of her before taking a breath and grasping it's golden curved handle. A soft click was heard, and instantly stomping steps resounded inside.
"HARURURI!"
'Ah-' She thought, feeling the door slam open and meeting a young girl, her golden long hair flowing behind her as she tackled the older teen.
"Harururi-chan!" The little girl squealed. Haru sighed, a smile releasing her form as she hugged back the child.
"Morning, Megi-chan," She said. The little girl pouted.
"It's Megigiri!" Haru laughed, a light a delightful noise.
"Morning, Megigiri-chan!" Haru repeated, this time, making the younger squeal and cuddle into the large female. Haru laughed at the action, finding it unbelievably cute.
No wonder she's the Mistress of the elementary division.
"Mistress Haru," A voice called, making Haru and Megi to look up at the owner, "We need to talk about something."
Haru softly gulped, an action that wasn't unnoticed by Megi.
"It's alright, Harururi!" The little one stated, "Ashichichi and I were curious about something."
Haru paused, looking suspiciously at the two. She knew that they were up to something, especially if it's important to discuss about. She felt her blood run cold; has someone kidnapped one of her students? Although it was an unlikely happening, it was possible.
Nodding at them, she walked into the small house with a frown.
Takahashi Megi and Ashichi were siblings, and they were a Mistress and Master; Megi being in the elementary division, and Ashichi being in the dorts division. They were rather cheerful and there were times when they fought. Mainly because Ashichi was an overprotective type of person who vaguely resembled Gokudera's personality. Haru wondered if who would win if Gokudera and Ashichi fought against each other. She debated that it would be a tie.
"Mistress Haru," Ashichi spoke, a lock of straight golden hair slipping out behind his ear, "We noticed that you have been leaving your office quite often these days. Any particular reason?"
Haru sat on the sofa, a comfy pastel green with curved shoulders. Another sofa was placed in front of her, with a table in between. It's wood was dark red, while the top was glass with a flower vase in the middle. She sighed.
"No reason, desu," She replied, focusing on the flowers in the vase, rather than Ashichi's stern look. She admits, Ashichi was one very good-looking person. Ashichi and his sister had both blonde hair; except Ashichi was straight and short, while Megi's was long and wavy. It fitted them somehow and Haru would prefer that they kept their style like that.
Even their personality was different; Megi was a warm and welcoming person, and she loved her art and history classes the most. Ashichi was strict and often can be misunderstood as a mean person, but Haru knows he is just very over protective of certain people. It just proves he has a lot of love; a trait both siblings seem to have.
"Mistress Haru," He sternly spoke, stressing out her name. Haru always despised the way he said it like that, "Answer me."
"So commanding," The Mistress pouted, her brown hair twisting slightly as she tilted her head away, "Haru just wants to get some fresh air."
"There's already fresh air here, Mistress Haru," He said, a sigh escaping him. Megi giggled slightly at the side, finally capturing the two teen's attention.
"I'm going to make some tea while you two talk it out, nee?" She smiled, walking into the kitchen with a hum. Ashichi sweatdropped.
"I swear my sister can be, so...," He sighed, "Carefree..."
Haru leveled her eyes onto him, seeing him ease onto the pale green sofa and noticing her stare. He returned it, never once backing away from hers. After a while, the Dorts Master slightly blushed; Haru was sometimes so careless of herself, never noticing her own beauty she held.
"Mistress Haru," He repeated once more, "Why are you going out of Midori Academy so much?"
"It feels like you're interrogating Haru," She pouted. Ashichi stiffened a frown.
"You're avoiding the question."
"Haru doesn't need to answer questions."
"Yes, you must."
"Why is that so?"
"Because," Ashichi slightly coughed, a small blush forming, "I-I'm worried."
Now it was Haru's turn to blush, except when she blushes, her face becomes completely red. They were not meeting each other's gazes anymore, opting to look at the wall or their laps. It was quiet and awkward until Megi came in holding a tray of three cups and a tea pot.
"Tea's ready!" She exclaimed, smiling brightly at Haru and her brother. Ashichi continued to look away, pretending to not notice his sister's arrival while Haru returned the smile with equal cheerfulness.
"Ha-hi, thank you, desu!" The brunette smiled, taking a cup. Megi giggled and rolled her eyes at her brother's antics. She placed the tray on the table and took out the cups, and started to pour into Haru's since she was the first one who took her cup.
"So, Harururi," Megi began, sitting back on the sofa next to Haru. She picked up her tea, blew on the steam, and sipped a bit, "Did you answer Ashichichi's question?"
Haru felt the air loose the cheerfulness Megi held before, sensing the brother beginning to look at her, "H-Haru has, um..."
Megi looked at her, "I know Harururi have other friends, but I'm worried!" She gasped, "You could've been killed, or kidnapped, or even hurt!" The girl started to bawl onto the floor, "I don't know what I'd do if Harururi died or disappeared!"
Haru sweatdropped while Ashichi sighed, "Haru's happy that Megi-chan is worried about Haru, desu, but..."
She trailed off, knowing what they'll do next. They'll persuade her to tell her what she is doing, and maybe pull out some dirty trick. Haru bit her lip. If they knew about Tsuna and the gang, she wouldn't be too sure whether or not they'll accept them. In her mind, she can see Ashichi blocking the doorway of her office with a disapproving look. She loves these guys, she really does, but if they found out that she's head-over-heels in love with Tsuna they'll flip.
And Tsuna against this 'Master' and 'Mistress', he doesn't have a chance.
"H-Haru found a really good cake shop she's going with Kyoko-chan," She lied. Ashichi and Megi looked at her in disbelief.
"Every day?" Ashichi started.
"Every lunch period?" Megi asked.
"E-everyday, desu," Haru looked away, a crumbling smile on her face.
The siblings looked at each other. They knew that Haru wasn't going to give up, and whatever she's doing is really suspicious.
"We'll find out eventually, Mistress Haru," Ashichi said, his voice reaching deep with determination. Megi brightened at the sound while Haru paled.
"That's right! Ashichichi is good at finding out tons of information!"
'Shit, Megi-chan's right,' Haru thought, 'Ashichi is the Dorts Master, and he can practically ask any student on campus to find out where I can and will be.' She glared at his smirking face.
"If you're not willing to tell, Mistress Haru," He leaned forward, a playful glint in his eye shining, "Then I will expose you and your secret."
Megi's eyes began to glisten, "That's right, Harururi!" She smiled, pulling a picture out of god-knows-where (idk honestly) and gave it to Haru. The brunette gasped; it was a picture of her and Tsuna in the morning, with Gokudera and Yamamoto tagging along. They must've taken the picture when she wasn't looking around.
Haru looked up at the siblings and sighed at the predicament she was in, "Ha-hiii..."
Ayeee, author-san here! I managed to stay up to midnight just to start this fanfiction.
Hopefully, the others will end soon ;w;
And well, spluttering nonsense and all of the above, I hope you enjoyed reading and review!
