Haru was surprised, to say the least.

"I'm going to send you away to train." Reborn said.

The words repeated within the girl, as she stared blankly into Reborn. Her? Train? It sounds more like a train-wrecked idea. Pun intended.

"Haru," His voice held authority suddenly, "I know you are doubting me, but think through this logically. You'll receive your peace of mind, including the training you'll be put through, and you don't have to sneak in-between the schools for the next 2 weeks."

Haru hesitated, "But... my duties..."

Reborn quirked a brow, "From my reports, you have been working twice as hard as you should be and on account from your friends, you've been stressed. I'll give you till tomorrow at sunset to give me your final answer Haru."

Haru bit her lower lip, giving a nod at Reborn as he left the office. She slumped against her chair, and frowned.

"What is Haru going to choose, desu?" She sighed into the evening air, feeling her body easing into her chair. But it wasn't enough to calm her.

True, she has been working hard lately, but she can't just make a decision right away. So let's think for abit.

If Haru decides to train with Reborn, she'll be able to become fit and strong, not to mention, she'll be able to have some peace to herself and have good reasons to not hang around Tsuna. After all the picture of him and Kyoko were...

Again, that flame of jealously washed over her, but like the waves of the ocean, it arrived and pulled back. She needs to control this, or else it could control her.

'What about Kagami-san...?' Her thoughts drifted, imagining her being with him in church, getting ready to marry him. Why she thought of that, she has no idea, but it made her feel strangely empty.

'Look what you did to me, Tsuna-san...' Slowly, she lifted her hands and stared into them, the color of the sky turning into the serene blue that indicated nighttime is arriving. The girl blankly looked out the window and then back at her hands, realizing in that dark twilight, a wet tear had dripped into them.

She hadn't cried to herself since the day she fell in love with him.

The next morning her eyes were red and sore. After being stuck in her office and arriving home at around 7 pm, Haru noted that she needed to pull herself together. This isn't what she should do, she should consider her options and place a decision.

In the bathroom, she continued to stared at herself. Her eyes were undoubtedly red, and her hair was messy. It looked like she just had a hungover.

'Might as well, too, desu,' the brunette sighed once more, turning the faucet on and proceeded to splash cold water onto her face.

After the girl finished her bathroom duties, she changed into her uniform and walked out the door, not even bothering to acknowledge her father's absence.

Looking up at the cloudy sky, she heard the familiar 'Hiiieeeeee!' and smiled. However, today she was tired and didn't bother to chase Tsuna down like she usually does. Today, she wants to be alone.

"Ciaossu, Haru." A voice popped up, causing Haru to jump.

"H-Ha-hi!" She squeaked, "R-Reborn-chan!"

He tilted his hat at her in a greeting, "Have you considered my proposal?"

Haru's lips thinned, "Haru is still thinking. Haru agrees, but Haru wants to tell you something."

Reborn quirked a brow, "Oh? Then, let's chat at your office then, Haru."

Suddenly, Tsuna ran up to the duo, "R-Reborn! There you are!"

"You survived my mine field," He turned to the side and faked a sniffle, "My student has grown so much."

Immediately, Tsuna hissed, "Are you crazy?! Suddenly throwing me into a mine field?"

"I thought you would like it, Dame-Tsuna."

"OF COURSE I WOULDN'T LIKE IT!"

Smack!

"You know better than to raise your voice at me, my no-good student." Reborn pouted, hiding a green brick behind his back. Haru slightly chuckled at the two, making a mental note to never raise her tone at Reborn.

Reborn turned his gaze to find Haru smiling, and he instantly found himself smiling the process. It seemed he had grown rather fond of Haru; her determination and her infinite love for Tsuna had intrigued him, if he was honest. And to think this girl will become stronger had him expecting what the future will become of her and Tsuna. Well, if she accepts his proposal.

"Ah, Tsuna-kun, Reborn-chan, Haru-chan!" A light voice quirked. Immediately, Tsuna's focus turned from his throbbing head to the girl of his dreams, unaware of the pain that struck Haru. Reborn thought he really ought to hit his head again.

"K-Kyoko-chan! Good morning!" Tsuna smiled, causing Haru's heart to skip. Kyoko returned the smile politely.

"Good morning, Tsuna-kun," She turned to Haru, "You, too, Haru-chan!"

The brunette turned her jealously over, pushing them away to the depths of her mind, "G-Good morning, Kyoko."

"Hm?" Kyoko paused, her eyebrows furrowing together cutely, "H-Haru-chan, are you alright? You're eyes are red..."

"Eh?" Quickly, she rubbed her eyes to hide the evidence. Tsuna tilted his head.

"Are you alright, Haru?" He asked, making her heart flutter. She paused, before smiling at him brightly.

"Haru is fine, desu!"

Ding! Dong!

"Hiiieeee! I'm going to be late again!" Tsuna yelled, "Let's hurry, Kyoko-chan!"

She nodded, "I'll see you later then, Haru-chan!"

And off they went.

Haru, who stared at them running off together in the distance felt the flame of jealousy wash over her. Again, she pushed it back, but this time, Reborn noticed it.

"It's alright," he said, capturing her heated stared. He took a breath at it, slightly amazed at the intensity and how it gave him the view of the 'ruthless' side of her. "It's alright to be jealous, Haru."

"I... know..." She bitterly spoke, her eyes lowering before finally closing to block the world in front of her.

"I know."

"What did you want to discuss about, Haru?" Reborn asked, sipping tea that Megi had just placed out. They were now at the 'White House' in Midori Academy. To his surprise, The other Masters and Mistresses had arrived, intending to speak with Haru about certain matters.

When they found her walking into school, they were shocked to see a baby wearing a suit, sitting on her shoulder. It took some time before Haru calmed them down, repeatedly saying that Reborn is not her child.

"Megigiri is also curious," Megi asked, sitting on Haru's lap. She glanced up at her with her deep blue eyes.

"I also want to know, too," Ashichi grunted, not taking in Reborn's presence too well. He knows that the baby means no harm, but he could feel the power radiating off of him.

"..." Kagami was silent, watching the scene carefully. Ashichi wasn't the only one sensing the power. The silverette can basically taste it; and it wasn't very pleasant.

Aoba sighed, taking in the tea that was offered, and then glared at everyone. When he stated that he hates group meetings, he really means it. So, his day is being ruined because of a meeting being held because Haru was being careless and a 5-year old baby arrived to talk with Haru. What is it with rich people these days.

Haru coughed lightly, grabbing everyone's attention, "Haru is going on a trip." Slowly, the group began to lose control.

"Wait, hold on a second, why was I not informed?"

"Screw that, why was I not invited?"

"That's mean Harururi! Leaving Megigiri alone to deal with these lame boys!"

"Who are you calling lame!?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Megigiri doesn't speak the language of idiots."

"Excuse me?"

Reborn idly chuckled at the bickering group as Haru sighed. She knew having meetings were a bad idea. Unless it's about a serious topic, the group usually argues a lot. Haru sighed once more.

"You guys, can we keep calm- Aoba-kun, please don't choke Kagami-kun!"

"Let me just strangle him abit, Haru."

"Suck my- keh!"

"You guys, quite being an annoying brick and listen to the Mistress!"

"Like you're not the same, you dogshit."

"...Megi swear she's surrounded by idiots," Megi muttered, deciding to close her ears as the boys continue to wrestle and throw colorful words at each other.

Reborn, on the other hand, found everything to be amusing, and had an idea.

"Why don't we bring them along?" He said, causing every motion in the room to stop.

Haru was the first to react, "No. I won't allow it."

Reborn quirked a brow and smirked at Haru's face, "Why not? They have potential."

She lost her 3rd-person speaking with a hiss, "I did not agree that they will be involved in my 'trip'."

"Mistress...?" Haru turned her stern stare at Ashichi.

"I'm sorry, but this is unacceptable. I can't..."

"Megigiri wants to go!"

"Eh?" Haru's intelligent reply made Megi smiled, her eye staring into Haru's before landing on Reborn.

"I... Megi wants to go with Haru. Megi wants to find out all the things Haru had hidden from Megi!"

"I...," Ashichi spoke up, a resolute flame burning in his eyes as he also looked at Reborn, "I also want to become closer to Haru. She has been hiding herself for so long, that I worry about her."

"They're not the only ones," said Aoba, fixing his porkpie hat in place, "Haru often helps me out and doesn't nag at me for not being in my office. She lets me be free, and I thought I should do the same with her."

"You guys are idiots," snarled Kagami, "I obviously should be going with her alone. I'm the only one who should be there for Haru, so go take a hike."

Aoba glared at him darkly, "I'm tempted to strangle you again, brat."

Ashichi, on the side, huffed at the duo who glared at each other. He silently thought that it was he who should be by her side at all times. After all, he is her right-hand man.

Reborn stood up from his seat, taking a final sip at his tea and smiled at Haru, who's face had turned a little red at her friend's proclaims, "It seems like they all agreed, Haru. It's time to tell them the truth."

Haru's eyes quickly glance at her friends, before leaning down on Megi to hide her face.

"It's alright," Reborn said, repeating what he spoke this morning, "It's alright to tell them about the mafia. I had gained information from them and they're not so innocent either. Not to mention, I had already informed the Ninth about this discussion."

She looked up, amazed at how prepared Reborn was, and then sharply turned her gaze at her friends after hearing that they might be part of the mafia. With much hesitance, a defeated sigh escaped her.

"Alright, desu..."

Lol I have no idea what I had just typed.

But I'm glad you read it, and I hope you review!

Now that Haru's friends know, what will become of the Vongola Decimo? How will his guardians react? Where and how will they train?

Ciaoo ciao

As usual, fight with your Dying Will!
