Chapter XIV

It was enough for Haru to stay at the mansion for three weeks, after what happened a while ago, she decided to leave the place immidietly. She doesn't have anything to bring with her at all, Biancchi told her to stop by the kitchen for some dinner and told her also not to bother about thinking the rest might come, they skipped dinner.

Haru was a little bit hungry that's why she rushed at the kitchen. She didn't saw anyone inside the kitchen but she did saw some dishes on top of the table, and her eyes widened.

"Cakes" she murmured hungrily. She scanned the place to see if anyone might have left the box of cake but no one came. She couldn't stop her stomach from growling that's why she sat on the chair and started digging in.

She didn't knew Tsuna and the rest of the guardians were watching him.

She opened the box and chirped happily when she saw her favorite cake infront of her. It was a blueberry cheesecake, her mouth was watering when she saw the cake.

"Ugh, I'm so hungry." Haru gruntted. She was waiting for the owner of the cake to come and atleast ask for a slice but still, no one came.

"She won't eat that" Reborn said to Tsuna.

Biancchi stepped into the kitchen and saw Haru staring at the cake, she hid her smile and walked towards Haru's side.

"You don't like the cake?" Biancchi asked and sat beside her.

"This is for me?!" Haru's eyes beamed.

"Yes, now dig in." Biancchi nodded.

Haru started eating, she finished eating rice and fish and started eating her cheesecake. They saw how happy she was, she was smiling the whole time.

"Boss" Gokudera looked to his boss. "Are you going to let her leave?" he asked.

Tsuna never took his gaze away from the screen. "I don't really know, Gokudera."

"Kyoko-chan...I heard she's pregnant." Haru said with a bit sadness on her voice. She sliced another part of the cake and placed it on top of her plate.

Tsuna felt something jumped inside of him after hearing Haru's voice.

"Yah, that Bitch got herself knocked out. Tsuna's the father, so what?! Let them rot in hell."

Anger rushed on Tsuna's head again, he clenched his jaw and balled his fists. He felt too much anger towards Biancchi.

"Gokudera, your sister's really getting off my nerves." Tsuna said coldly to Gokudera.

"I'm sorry, Tenth." Gokudera said apologetically. "I'll talk to her later."

They went back on watching Haru, she placed down the fork she was holding and looked down.

"When is it?" she asked.

"What are you talking about, Haru?"

"I know Tsuna would be choosing his Maiden, when is it?"

Tsuna raised an eyebrow and looked seriously towards Reborn.

"Maiden?"

"Your wife, Dame-Tsuna."

"What?!"

"You're on the right age to choose your wife. She will be the pillar beside you, but keep this in mind, Tsuna. You have to choose wisely, you don't want to end up like what happened with Ninth."

"Isn't it obvious, Reborn? She should choose Kyoko-chan, she's pregnant with his child, after all." I-pin said.

Tsuna wanted to hesitate, no, he should have the freedom to choose. But, he got Kyoko pregnant.

"No, eventhough Kyoko's pregnant with Tsuna's kid, he has the authority to choose his Maiden. You, Chrome, Kyoko, and Haru are the choices of Tsuna. Since you four are the only women inside the mansion, and Biancchi is an exception, so was Hana."

"What?! I-pin isn't an option! She's ten years younger than Tsuna! " Lambo yelled furiously towards Reborn.

"You know you're one of the selection, Haru." Biancchi said.

Haru tried to urge a laugh. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Biancchi-san. But I don't want to be a part of it. Kyoko should be Sawada-san's wife, that's her rightful place."

Tsuna felt his heart tighten. "Haru"

"Well, that's good to hear."

"You have to choose, Tsuna. Let us know your final decision after three months."

"Great" Tsuna muttured.

...

Haru was looking above towards the sky outside the window, it was too dark, but the moon had lighten her place.

She sighed deeply. "I'm leaving now, don't try to stop me." she said and looked behind her. Hibari was leaning against the door, looking straight at her, while Mukuro was leaning against the wall, the darkness had hid them well.

"Give us three reasons why we should let you, Haru." Mukuro's arms were crossed as he looked at her.

"Three?" Haru asked mockingly. "I can give you five."

Mukuro scoffed. "Then do it. Tell us why are you are so eager to leave."

Haru never felt so stupid on her life. How could she give five when she doesn't even have one reason for leaving the mansion.

"I...I want to continue studying." Haru said firmly.

Hibari raised an eyebrow. "You know you can still study with here, in Namimori."

Haru thought another reason. "I want to see my parents."

"You can still see them, Haru." Mukuro said.

"I want to-"

"Haru-"

"What?! What?! Will you please stop this?! I'm tired of having games with the both of you!" Haru reached her limit. "Why are you so desperate of letting me stay?! You want my real reasons?! Fine! I don't want to see Chrome and Kyoko get sad because of my presence! They think I took your attention away from them, I know how hurt they must have felt when they found out I came back! They're my friends! I don't want to hurt them! I know you must be thinking how selfish I am for leaving so sudden, but you don't have any idea how scared I am when each time I remember those worlds, those future that might happen to me. You don't know how each of you hurted me so much it just kills me inside, here!" Haru roughly pointed her heart, her tears were pouring uncontrollably towards her face. "You two, Tsuna, Gokudera, you never stopped blaming me for what happened with our children. You told me they died because I didn't took care of them enough, but the truth was. it was entirely your fault! You guys never cared for us!"

The two was so shocked, learning their child might die on the future, and Haru fell on the floor, clenching her chest. They both knew she suffered too much for the two years she was gone, the way she cried her heart out, she was just too hurt.

"Haru...the future might change." Mukuro said as he slowly walked towards her and knelt infront of her looking so worried, and sad.

Haru shook her head. "Even we can change the future, I just don't want to be with you guys when that happens."

It crushed their hearts.

Haru might not noticed it, but Tsuna and Gokudera was outside the room the whole time. Their hidden faces showed agony and dismayed after hearing Haru's cries.

A part of them felt relieved after hearing the chances that they might have a child with her...but their hopes vanished as it was replaced with the vision of their children dying and blaming Haru entirely, just like what she had said.

Haru stood up and walked towards the door but Hibari was blocking her way.

"Please...don't make me hate you Kyoya." Haru's eyes pleaded.

Hibari knew he shouldn't have let her go, but he stepped aside and watch as Haru opened the door. She walked outside the room and suddenly stopped in front of the door.

"You know how much I love you guys...I really do...But I don't think you'll have a good future when you're with me. And Sawada-san...don't blame yourself for what happened to me... I did that for you to be happy with Kyoko-chan." Haru was trying to hold back her tears. "Please...Erase me from your life..."

Haru said and her figure vanished from the dark.

Tsuna balled his fists and clenched it tight.

This hurts so bad.
