'That baby walks on top of my house's fence every weekday,' Miura Haru thought to herself, brushing her teeth one morning as she got ready to go to school. 'His name is Reborn-chan. Such a cute name…' she thought, her face slack and tooth paste dripping out of her mouth. 'I want to hug him so badly…' She watched from the window as the cute little boy walked past her house as she stood in the bathroom, in a daze.
Haru hurried to finish getting ready as the object of her affections got closer and closer. She managed to make it out the door before he had passed her. Hiding out around the corner of the fence and out of sight, Haru waited for him. 'If I am to confess my love, I have to be in the same ring,' she thought, hoisting herself up and onto of the fence with minimal difficulty, 'Or I'll be rude.'
Haru stepped forward cautiously, nervous about her first official meeting with the object of her affections, slowly approaching the little boy, and the girl who was always with him. "Hello!" she told Reborn when she met up with him, ignoring the other girl completely.
"Ciaossu!" he greeted back.
"My name… is Miura Haru," Haru told him, glancing to the side and hoping he wouldn't see the faint blush that had spread across her cheeks.
"I know about you," Reborn told her, "You're from this house, right?" he asked, pointing to the side and at her house.
'He knows about me!' Haru thought excitedly. Then she remembered what she had wanted to say. "Would you be my friend?" she asked him hopefully.
"Sure," Reborn answered.
Haru shrieked in pleasure, losing her balance in the process and tipping over to the side, causing the girl who was with Reborn to exclaim. Fortunately Haru managed to shift and land on her feet without hurting herself.
Tsuna, her necklace the red heart, watched the strange girl cautiously, wondering where she had come from. Feeling slightly worried about her, she decided to stay and watch it play out, instead of heading on to school. Looking over the girl, she noticed that they seemed to be about the same age, as the other girl wore the uniform to a middle school as well. She had dark brown hair, styled in such a way that it was pulled back into a bun with small clumps of hair that hung on either side of her face held back by two small white bobby pins each. The girl also had lively light brown eyes, and she was slightly taller than Tsuna by three centimeters or so.
"Erm… uhm…" the girl stuttered out, suddenly shy, "It's rather sudden… but… can you hug me… like this?" she asked, demonstrating by wrapping her arms tightly around herself.
'What is with this girl…?' Tsuna wondered, slightly disturbed by how her mind seemed to work.
"Don't touch me so easily," Reborn told Miura bluntly, his face unchanging. He elaborated when Miura looked at him confusedly. "'Cause I'm a hitman," he said, pulling a gun out from nowhere and holding it in front of himself to show her.
Tsuna started in shock, surprised that he would just come out and say it, but then again, he did try to tell Kyoko and this girl seemed to be the airheaded type. She turned to him and started to scold him for it. "Reborn, don't say such things to stran-, Whoa!"
Tsuna managed to dodge Haru's slap. "What?" she let out, immensely confused as she turned to face the girl; admittedly, she dodged because Hayato might be worried about it and would bug her to no end until she gave him a reason why she let herself get a slap on the cheek.
"You bastard!" Miura yelled at Tsuna, a vein on her forehead popping out in anger, "What're you teaching him!" she shouted at the other girl.
"What?" Tsuna exclaimed, feeling completely lost and without any idea of what was going on.
"Babies are angles with pure white hearts!" Miura shouted, advancing slowly on Tsuna, "Are you destroying that lovely pureness with your rotten heart!" she screeched, grabbing the other girl by her shirt and pulling Tsuna towards her.
"What are you saying?" Tsuna asked, bored, pulling at the other girl's hands from her shirt, "He's the one who dragged me into his mafia world," Tsuna told Miura, glaring at her, "He may not look like it, but he's got a mind of an adult. So you need to clear the misunderstanding in your head."
"What misunderstanding?" Miura shouted.
"I didn't teach him any assassination techniques, he taught himself," Tsuna replied.
"You're a liar!" Miura insisted, "You're Reborn-chan's big sister, right? I see you together all the time!" she shouted, though Tsuna didn't know what that would have to do with anything, if it was true.
"We're not siblings," Tsuna told her, putting fingers in her ears because all the shouting was starting to make her ears hurt.
"Then you're an even bigger bastard!" Miura screamed, "Making someone else's baby a devil!"
"Aiii…" Tsuna exclaimed inarticulately, 'She's not listening to me!' she screamed in her mind, immensely frustrated. Who did this girl think she was, to just come up and slap her and yell at her?
"Listen! You shall not see Reborn-chan anymore!" Miura ordered, looming up right in front of Tsuna, directly in her face, "You're a bad influence on him!"
Tsuna stepped back because she didn't want Haru to miss her balance and fall on her.
"That wouldn't work," Reborn said bluntly, interrupting the two girl's fight for the first time since it had started.
"Huh?" Miura asked, suddenly calm, acting like the incident hadn't even happened.
"It's my job to raise Tsuna, the Tenth boss of the mafia," Reborn told Miura, "I cannot be separated from her until then," he said.
Haru gave Tsuna a punch, which the latter dodged.
"What's up with the mafia!" Miura shouted, "You're going too far, even for a delinquent's idea of fun!" she screamed, her fist still extended from the fierce hit she tried to give Tsuna, "You even restricted Reborn-chan's freedom!"
Tsuna brought up her hand to her cheek and checked to see if she got hit, which she didn't. "I have nothing to do with Reborn's mind," Tsuna claimed. "If you really want to know, just ask him."
Haru watched with dark eyes as the other girl felt her face, her eyes wide. 'I'll leave the hugging for later,' she thought, 'Right now, I have to protect Reborn-chan!' She sneered when the other girl started to talk.
"Hey, weren't you listening!" the shorter brunette said, only to raise her eyebrow with interest when Haru glared at her, her fighting spirit almost visible.
Haru scoffed at the girl, then turned and started to walk away. "Bye!" she called to Reborn, ignoring the girl as she left for school.
Tsuna stared as the girl just left, walking away without as much as another word. 'She resents me…' she thought, bored. It wasn't the first time she'd had someone hate her so soon after meeting her.
"You guys get along really well," Reborn commented lightly, "Almost like a married couple," he added, like he hadn't been the whole cause of the incident.
"You mean best friends who are fighting over the same guy," Tsuna retorted.
Outside the Sawada House
"Poor Reborn-chan…" Haru muttered to herself as she snuck around the gate of the Sawada property, a bandana even tied around her head as if to help hide her identity, "I bet he can't even say anything in front of that girl…" she said, thinking aloud, something that was not to be advised when you were sneaking around. "Wait for me, Reborn-chan, Haru will set you free," she promised the sky.
"We think alike," a voice commented from behind Haru, making her jump. Suddenly she felt something grab onto the back of her shirt and start dragging her away from the house.
"Wha!" she exclaimed, looking behind her and to see that the person dragging her was a beautiful pink haired lady holding a bottle of sake. "Wha?"
A Bar/Restaurant Stand
"Waaai!" Haru exclaimed as she listened to the woman, who she had discovered was named Bianchi, talk about Reborn, "You're my comrade then, for wanting to rescue Reborn-chan, Onee-san," she said, taking a bite out of the food she had ordered from the stand.
"Reborn-chan is such a cutie, isn't he?" she asked, smiling happily, pleased that she had found someone who understood her.
"Yes, he's wonderful," Bianchi agreed, a blush spreading over her cheeks as she said it.
"But that Tsuna girl had to go and involve Reborn-chan in that hitman game," Haru said angrily, remembering why she had been at the Sawada house in the first place.
"Reborn is the best hitman out there," Bianchi agreed, misunderstanding Haru.
"What're you talking about, Onee-sa-" Haru started, feeling a bit confused, only to be interrupted by Bianchi.
"Ah… I can never forget the thrilling assassination days…" Bianchi said, almost to herself.
"Oh please," Haru said smiling at what she thought was a joke. She turned to look at Bianchi.
"Wha?" she exclaimed. 'Tears!' she thought, noticing the small water droplets that were pooling at the corners of Bianchi's eyes. 'Y-you mean… what you've just said… is all true, Onee-san?' Haru felt her mind go blank in shock.
The Road to School
'Ah… it's so hot…' Tsuna thought as she walked to school, making sure to keep a look out for the strange Miura girl who tried to hit her yesterday.
Glancing quickly behind her, Tsuna sighed in relief when she didn't see anyone behind her. So far so good… now she just had to get all the way to school without running into the girl and then worry about her after school.
"Ahh…" Tsuna let out as she walked, waving a hand in front of her face to in an attempt to cool down. 'It's so hot, my ears are ringing…' she thought when a faint ringing noise came to her ears. But then it got louder. 'It's not my ears…!' she realized, a faint feeling of dread coming over her as she swirled around.
"Gooood morning," Miura said, coming to a stop in front of Tsuna.
Tsuna stared wide eyed at the strange girl, who had apparently decided that it would be a good idea to go out today wearing samurai style armor and holding a hockey stick and helmet. What was the girl thinking? To go around like that in this heat? "What are you doing?" Tsuna asked Miura.
"I'm Haru, who couldn't sleep last night because of all the thoughts I had," Miura told Tsuna, causing the other girl to notice the purple bags that hung under her eyes.
"You wear such things when you don't get enough sleep?" Tsuna exclaimed, not understanding the strange girl at all.
"It's not that!" Miura snapped, "That would make me a complete idiot!" Then she took a deep breath, calming herself down. "If Reborn-chan is a real hitman, I think you, who will be a real mafia boss, is very strong, Tsuna-san," Miura told the other girl, glaring at her through narrowed eyes.
"What?" Tsuna asked confused at the sudden change in the girl. Hadn't she been so adamant that Tsuna was lying the other day? What had caused this sudden change?
"If you're strong, I'll believe Reborn-chan," Miura continued, oblivious to Tsuna's thoughts as she put the helmet she'd been carrying over her head, "And I won't complain about anything in his life," she said, "So please have a match with me!" And with that she brought her hockey stick up and over her head, getting ready to strike.
"Ah!" Tsuna exclaimed, her necklace changed to the orange flame, bringing out her sword hilt to block the hockey stick, "Wait!" she cried, trying to get Miura to stop.
Miura didn't listen, she just kept swinging at Tsuna, crying out battle cries and getting increasingly frustrated as all Tsuna did was block or dodge her blows.
Very Near the Bridge Where Haru is Fighting Tsuna
Hayato looked up when he started to hear what sounded like a fight as he was walking to school. Looking around, he finally spotted the source of the noises coming from a bridge he had just passed. Looking closer at the two figures, he finally recognized the one that kept dodging.
"Jyuudaimehime!" Hayato exclaimed, shocked that someone was attacking his boss. He looked closer at the other fighter and found himself unable to make out their identity, as they were wearing a helmet with a darkened visor. 'What's that?' he thought, already moving towards the Tenth, 'A disposable hitman?' he wondered.
"Shiiiit!" he exclaimed, rushing towards his boss.
The Bridge that is All Too Quickly Becoming Familiar
"I never agreed to become a mafia boss!" Tsuna told Miura, desperately blocking yet another swing of the hockey stick.
"Then you're toying with Reborn-chan after all!" Miura shouted, swing fiercely at the other girl.
"He's the one toying with me!" Tsuna shouted right back, leaping back to avoid another hit.
Just then, someone jumped in front of her, and Tsuna found herself staring at an increasingly familiar back.
"Jyuudaimehime, please stay behind me!" Hayato told Tsuna, several sticks of dynamite already in his hands and dangerously close to the cigarette held in his mouth.
"Hayato!" Tsuna exclaimed, eyes widening as she realized what he was about to do, leaping forward, too late-
"Die!" Hayato told Miura coldly, throwing his burning sticks of death right in the girls face.
"Huh?" Haru exclaimed, looking up as the objects flew towards her, "That's that kaboom thing, huh?" she said to herself. Then she realized what she'd just said.
"Hahieeeek!" Haru screamed as the explosives went off, the concussive force sending her flying off the bridge and into the waters below. She hit the river with a large splash.
"No!" Tsuna exclaimed, rushing to the edge of the bridge and franticly looking into the water for any sign of the girl.
"You're safe now!" Hayato told Tsuna confidently, sounding pleased with himself.
Tsuna ignored him, still searching for Miura.
Finally Tsuna spotted her when she rose to the surface, spitting out a mouthful of water and crying out, "Why'd you do such a thing!" Miura struggled for a moment, sinking again. "The armor's too heavy!" she exclaimed, "I can't swim! Sav-save me!" she shouted, splashing franticly in the water, trying to stay afloat.
"This isn't good!" Tsuna shouted, almost hysterical. Hayato just looked at her, feeling confused.
"We have to save her," a calm voice said from behind them, and Tsuna turned to face the familiar voice.
"Oh, it's just you, Reborn. Yeah, we have to save her; sending her into the water is a bit too cruel." she said, not really surprised to find the small hitman standing on the rail of the bridge.
"No!" Haru shouted, "This river isn't something that… you can swim, Reborn-chan!" she exclaimed, falling under the water for a moment then coming back up. Looking up once again, she saw Tsuna leaping into the river, leaving Hayato confused and Reborn smirking on the bridge
"Hahie?" Haru managed to exclaim.
"Grab onto me!" Tsuna exclaimed, grabbing the girl's hand. Wrapping the girl on her back, Tsuna swam to the nearest bank river.
"Why are you...?" Miura asked.
"Didn't you say you can't swim? Plus, I'm not letting you drown just because of a misunderstanding," Tsuna replied. "Stupid Hayato," she muttered.
"Thank you..."
'This armor's really heavy...' was Orange Flame Tsuna's only thought.
The Bank of the river
"Thank you very much," Haru said when she had gotten out of the armor and was huddled up under a towel, her face to her knees.
Hayato let out an annoyed breath. "Did you even think about your actions?" he asked her, immensely annoyed that the girl had put the Tenth in danger, "If something you do harms Jyuudaimehime, I'll erase you," he told her seriously.
Haru let out a small laugh, causing the others to stare at her. "'Grab onto me!'" she quoted. "'I'm not letting you drown because of a misunderstanding!'," Haru added. "Tsuna-san was so cool saying those lines!"
Tsuna, drying off with her own P.E. towel, stared at her in dismay. First the girl misunderstood and attacked her, and now she's mocking her after she saved her! Tsuna sighed and ignored Haru and Hayato, who were discussing how cool Tsuna was. Well, if that's how she was…
"Swim to the other bank!" Haru added, making up a line of her own and causing Tsuna to have a 'what, are you stupid' look. She wasn't really like that, was she?
"It was so wonderful, that you jumped into save me, Jyuudaimehime. Haru is so moved! Haru can confidently say that she's is Hime-san's number 1 fan!" Haru exclaimed.
"Does that mean you still like Reborn?" Tsuna asked as Hayato looked on in shock. 'Like hell that stupid woman is worthy being Jyuudaimehime's number 1 fan!' He thought.
"But Haru wants to memorize how cool Hime-san was, so that Haru can imitate Hime-san!" Haru said.
"No. I'm going to school. Besides, we're already late," Tsuna, her necklace the red heart, replied, leaving the group.
