A/N: So yesterday, I drew a fanartz of TsunaHaru. And it made me feel extremely warm and fuzzy inside, so I got more ideas for this fanfic. So voila chapter 2.
My friend says that no one reads het, which apparently means boyxgirl. But I'm writing it anyways. So what if no one reads? I get to satisfy myself, because boyxboy just doesn't make me happy, usually. Unless it's YamaGoku.
Err. Reviews or comments would be nice though. Really.
Chapter 2: Danger
"Ciaosu." The infant hitman waved, perched on Yamamoto's shoulder.
"Hey, kiddo! How've you been doing?"
"Reborn-san!"
"Reborn, my love!"
"Reborn! I thought you went to Italy for important matters." Tsuna's drowsy voice came from the doorway. Everybody turned to look at him. He still had bed hair, and looked sleepy and confused.
He walked into the room, and Kyoko followed, holding onto his hand.
"Uhn, but I had to come back for these delicious omelets. Have you been training the amount I told you to, Tsuna?"
"I think so."
"Hm, you don't sound too sure. Let's see how much you've improved."
Haru carried more plates of omelets to the dining table. "First though, Tsuna-san, you should eat. Don't fight on an empty stomach. You need your energy."
"Ah, thanks, Haru."
Kyoko unattached herself from Tsuna, and approached her friend.
"I'll help you carry those." She smiled happily.
Haru was pleased that Kyoko was in a good mood. "Hai, thank you!"
"Thanks for the meal!" The former baseball player stood up, and looked at his family boss. "Was there anything you'd like me to do today, Tsuna?"
"Not particularly."
"Hold on, Yamamoto. I'd like you to investigate around town. There's actually a reason I came to Japan so early from my trip. There have been some suspicious people around, and the Vongola headquarters have investigated and confirmed that they are in fact our enemies."
A spark lit up in Yamamoto's eyes. "Vongola enemies? Will do, kiddo. I'll be going now. I'll report back with anything I find later."
With one last grin and wave, he left the room.
Reborn jump kicked Tsuna. "Hurry up, slowpoke. I'm ready to see you fight." Tsuna rubbed his head, and shoved a few more mouthfuls of omelet into his mouth.
"Uhn, I'm ready!"
"Wait, Tsu-kun!" Kyoko called to the two who were just about ready to leave. "Don't get hurt! Ano… come back soon!"
Tsuna flashed her a grin. "Yup!"
Reborn and Bianchi shared a look. Biachi's eyes showed evident concern, and Reborn suddenly wanted to see the full effect of this thing that Bianchi was concerned about.
"Let's go, Tsuna."
The 10th Vongola boss hugged Kyoko, and followed Reborn out to the hall to go to the training room. Suddenly the room felt silent and empty to Haru.
"Well, they're gone now. What are you going to do, Ipin-chan?" she asked.
"Ipin going to train with Lambo more today. We're making good progress with our abilities now."
"Oh, that's good! Haru wishes you two luck!"
"Thank you, Haru nee-chan. Ipin and Lambo go now." The pretty, petite girl stood up and nodded to Lambo. They stood up simultaneously and left the room. Haru sat down on a chair next to Kyoko's. They looked at each other, and giggled.
"So I was thinking, today I should go outside and buy more food. I'm going soon, so I have time to make lunch when I get back." She paused, remembering to ask, "Did you want anything, Kyoko-chan? Bianchi nee-chan?"
"Thanks for asking, honey, but I prefer to gather my own ingredients." The poison specialist replied. She was hovering over a pot filled with a bubbly, ominous looking paste of some sort. "Here, taste some of this for me."
Haru knew the harmful effects of Bianchi's cooking. But she knew that minimal amounts wouldn't hurt, and would help out her older-sister like figure. "Sure!" She took the ladle from Bianchi, and took a tiny sip. "Unn.. it's pretty good. Maybe you should add more sugar."
"You're such a sweetheart, Haru-chan. No one else is as willing to help me as you are."
"It's no problem. Ah, Kyoko-chan? Did you want me to buy anything?"
"I have nothing to do today, since Tsuna is training with Reborn. Can I come with you? I haven't visited Hana for a long time, either."
"Ah, hai! 'Course! Lemme go get ready!" And, ponytail swinging behind her, the girl left to go to her room. Today, she thought, they should make this a girl's celebration day. Buy some cakes, go shopping for clothes. Her footsteps echoed in the empty hallways.
She shook her head. Nope, there was nothing to celebrate today. The family was more important to her. Besides, Reborn came back early for an important reason, though she wasn't sure what. She decided to stick with going out to shop for groceries.
Haru grabbed a scarf and some mittens. She wrapped the scarf around her neck, and ran out to meet Kyoko-chan.
------
"I'm disappointed in you, Tsuna. You haven't improved at all for the last few weeks while I've been gone."
Tsuna lay on the ground, panting heavily. One of his eyes was closed shut, and blood was trickling down his forehead. Reborn was still ruthless. He groaned painfully.
"Get up, Tsuna!" The infant hitman urged. "Don't be defeated so easily."
The wounded boss struggled to get up, but he heard Kyoko's words in his head. 'Don't get hurt..!' He stopped, and the box in his hand dropped to the floor. If Kyoko saw him in this condition, she would cry, he bet. He would never want Kyoko to cry.
"Reborn!" He started, "Don't you think that's enough? I guess I'm just no good when you're away. Can't you train me more?"
Reborn's eyes closed.
"Tsuna, that's not the reason you're not improving."
"Eh? What else can it be? I've been training daily!"
"The truth is, I haven't even noticed this until Bianchi mentioned it to me." Reborn muttered to himself, and the raised his voice to continue, "The reason why you aren't improving is…."
-------
Haru walked ahead of Kyoko, swinging her arms happily. Ahh, fresh air. She hummed a joyful tune, and turned her head back to look at her companion.
"Kyoko-chan! Isn't it great to be outside? Even though it's super, super cold, the sun is still shining in the sky, see? Haru is super happy!" Her voice bubbled with excitement. Then, she noticed that her friend wasn't looking too good, and walked back to where Kyoko was standing. "Uwahh, what's wrong, Kyoko-chan?"
"Ano… I'm just worried about Tsu-kun. What if he gets hurt?", she said softly. She bit her bottom lip, and looked down at the ground.
Haru sighed. "It's no use to worry all the time, Kyoko-chan. We just have to believe in his abilities." She pulled on Kyoko's arm. "Come on, let's hurry, so we can get back in time to make them lunch!"
"…Uhn!"
Haru smiled. "That's right! Oh! Today I think there's a big sale at Nanimori's grocery. Let's go!"
Kyoko nodded, and they started off once again.
"Well, well, what do we have here? Two sitting ducks, ready to be killed!" An evil voice rang out from behind them, and they hurriedly turned back. Haru clung tighter to Kyoko's arm. A young man, probably just a bit older than them, wearing a strange stripped green and yellow shirt, stood behind them, hands in his pockets. He had a buzz cut and had on sunglasses.
He smirked, revealing his menacing nature. "Why, aren't you two beauties!"
Haru couldn't stand it anymore. She let go of Kyoko, and stepped up. Her heart was pounding, but she tried to ignore it. This person was dangerous, she knew. Very, very dangerous. She looked at Kyoko. Her friend seemed to be stunned into silence.
Turning back to the man, she spurted, "What do you want?"
He removed his sunglasses, and grinned. His hands toyed with something in his pockets.
"Nothing much, just your lives." He pulled out two guns, and pointed, one in each hand, at the girls. "Die!"
Haru's eyes widened. Instinctively, she dropped herself to the ground. She heard a sharp intake of breath next to her. Kyoko suddenly screamed in pain, and collapsed, falling over Haru. The ebony-haired girl felt something warm and sticky seeping through her clothes.
"K-Kyoko-chan? KYOKO!?" She screamed, alarmed. There was a patch of blood quickly spreading over her friend's clothes. Kyoko had been shot through the chest.
Tears were running down Kyoko's face as she whimpered in pain, and Haru felt her own cheeks becoming wet. "Hang on there, Kyoko-chan!" she yelled urgently.
Haru covered her face with her hands, feeling all of a sudden very angry. She stood up, her hair covering her eyes, and whispered. "Haru definitely won't forgive you!"
She heard him laugh with amusement, and heard him say, "You're next, pretty." Then the click of a gun. She closed her eyes. She cursed herself for being so weak, so helpless.
Haru screamed.
-------
"What? Kyoko-chan is the reason why I'm not improving?" He yelled, suddenly feeling defensive. "Isn't Kyoko-chan the reason I got so strong in the first place?"
"You don't understand, Tsuna. That kind of girl isn't suitable to be a part of a mafia. She is slowing your growth."
"I don't believe it. Reborn, I love her! I'll leave my seat as Vongola's 10th boss to be with…" Reborn's foot then connected with Tsuna's face.
"If that's your way of thinking, you're becoming unsuitable to be a Boss."
With that, the Arcobaleno left, and Tsuna slammed his hand down on the hard ground.
"Damn it!"
-------
She cried out in pain. Her left arm had been rendered useless with the bullet lodged deep into it. She heard the attacker laugh maniacally. "I love seeing pretty girls in pain! Ahaha! Take your last breath, girl!" He clicked his gun again and pointed it towards her.
The blow and pain she was expecting never came. Haru felt a gush of wind, and opened her eyes to see Yamamoto standing in front of her, sword drawn.
"Y-Yamamoto-san!"
"Haru! Hurry, take Kyoko and get away!" He instructed, his blazing eyes never leaving the man holding the guns. "You'll be sorry for raising your guns to my friends, and I'll make sure of it." Yamamoto said calmly. He connected his ring to a little box hanging from his belt.
Haru felt a rush of determination. She squinted her eyes from the pain from her arm, and wavered. Gritting her teeth, she crawled over to where Kyoko was laying, and placed Kyoko's arms over her shoulders. "Hang on, Kyoko!"
She struggled to stand up. Carrying Kyoko's weight was hard, but she persisted and dragged the two of them towards the Vongola base.
She felt her friend becoming completely limp. The tears in her own eyes leaked out, and then it was out of her control to stop them.
A/N:
