This coupling was chosen by chibified kitsunes, for the theme of 'Danger Ahead'.

Let's make this short: I was pretty sick for a while. My family was very busy hosting different parties and having people stay at our house for a while for reasons you needn't know. So I was busy attending to that. My laptop DIED for a week since it's hard drive died. I got a new one but I lost all of my files. We got this hard drive usb thing, so I got all of my files back now. So, yeah. That's why it took me a while to get some writing in. I'm sorry but I was already halfway done with this fic, and I didn't want to start over, so I decided to wait it out. 8)

Yep. That's what happened. Luckily for you guys (and not my fingers) I don't have to cancel any of my stories anymore since I didn't lose any of my files. WHOOOO

So without futher ado, let's move onto the chapter.

56 Danger Ahead (Daemon x Haru x Mukuro)

Men who are capable of destroying the world,

and bring them down to do whatever they want.

Purely dangerous beings sharing the same Earth as everyone.

I shouldn't associate myself with them.

Neither should I find myself falling in love with them.

"Haru, think about what you are doing. You really don't want to do this. It's dangerous." Tsuna begged for the woman to regain her senses.

Haru shook her head, not wanting to hear it anymore, pulling her hand away from his own.

Tsuna cast his gaze over to his girlfriend, Sasagawa Kyoko.

She shook her head, with a small frown: she failed to convince her friend to stop what she was doing.

"Y-you stupid woman! Don't you remember what they did? Come on! This is suicide!" Gokudera raged at how stupid this woman was being.

As much as he hated to admit it, he still cared for her.

They've known each other for years, and they grew to know each other quite well. He didn't feel anything special towards her, but she WAS a friend, and if anything happened to her, it would make Tsuna said- something he would rather prevent if at all possible.

The sides of Haru's lips perked up slightly at the verbal attack she received from Gokudera.

She shook her head, looking back at the man she knew she loved and the one she could see beyond his visage.

"Haru, please, think about what you are doing. One of them… isn't really even alive anymore. You only see him as a materialized form of intense emotion." Tsuna explained to Haru about how Daemon was no longer a part of the world.

Haru smiled at him, a rather empty looking smile.

She's tried so hard.

All she wanted was his acceptance. He couldn't even begin to know just how hard she worked to gain his favor. How many tears she shed when she thought about her efforts being futile since his feelings for Kyoko were just that strong.

There was nothing she could do to come between them. It was… impossible for her. She gave up and found someone else to console in. A man who was cast off, and gave a feel of being alone.

He had others with him that were alone, but… it just didn't seem quite right.

They admire him and revere him, but they don't really seem to want to be on his same level. They put him up on a pedestal. Sure, he likes that, but it gives a sense of alienation as well.

Haru was drawn to how he seemed to leak off a lonely aura, wanting to help him, she outstretched her hand out to him, which he grasped onto tightly with no intent of letting go.

Deep within him somewhere, seemed to be a shadow lurking over him, waiting for another chance to jump in and reap benefits.

As much as she still held a grudge over what he did to everyone, Haru couldn't help but admit that Daemon's circumstance was a sad one.

He's lost the only woman he's ever loved and he only wanted to improve to ensure it never happened again. Albeit he went a bit overboard, but the thought is what counted- maybe.

As a mule, Haru was one stubborn girl, and she was going to stick to her decision.

Lifting up her feet, she slowly made her way over to Mukuro's side, he haughtily smirking at the other distraught guardians.

He won this.

I know….

that this love is dangerous…

but, is love only limited to what is safe?

No, It's not, so just let me do as I want for now.

You have your own happiness and I'm entitled to my own happiness.

So stop trying to control how I live the rest of my life,

Please.


Hope you enjoyed it. ^^

Just so you know there is no real importance to the bold parts. Yes, I usually have something planned but not this time around. Sorry for anyone who was actually trying to find something. I just wanted to stress a few words in the italicized parts was all.
