When Haru enters the ballroom, she knows she isn't the most beautiful girl around. She sees a lot of fiancées and courtesans who outshine her by far, with smaller waists or heavier bosoms or terrifyingly beautiful faces—but still, she has felt never more pretty than tonight.
It is the annual Cavallone ball they are attending and after years of convincing and persuading and begging, Tsuna has finally allowed his civilian, female friends into his Famiglia. Tonight is the night Kyouko and Haru can at long last show their allegiance to Vongola.
They are both wearing jewellery; Kyouko a bracelet with the renowned Vongola rubies which belonged to Vongola Ottava, Haru rosé pearl stud earrings that Vongola Nono's deceasedwife wore at her engagement party in 1961.
Both pieces of jewellery are famous in Mafia-circles and will be recognised almost instantly. Yes, there will be no turning back after this day. Not for Kyouko who will be introduced today as Vongola Decimo's fiancée.
Not for Haru who will be targeted from today on as Vongola Decimo's Rain Guardian's girlfriend.
Is it sick that everything she feels is happiness, gladness, she wonders as she descends the stairs and grasps Yamamoto's proffered hand.
And he smiles at her, not entirely comfortable but trusting nonetheless—so she smiles back and forgets everything but his other hand on the small of her back, the glint and sparkle of the glass of the chandeliers, the swaying people call ballroom-dancing and this night that will be hers, forever, no matter what else is going to happen in the future.
Reviews make my day :)
