Chapter 9
Goodbye
From a young age, Haru's mama had taught her the importance of stranger danger. She was maybe five. Or maybe even younger. When the strange men in pinstripe suits would greet her at all different corners of the street. They would hold sweets out for the young girl as they smiled with far too many teeth. Blank faces trying to trick her into complacency.
Haru would always follow her mother's strict set of rules, keeping a fine distance from the men's gnarly grasp before turning tail screaming at the top of her lungs. Burly men, all muscle and confidence, would stink of panic as they fled from her sight and Haru would always find herself back in her mama's soothing grasp. Waves of love and assurance thrumming against her tense form and lulling her into a fond sleep.
At seven the men began to become brave. Haru was leaving school with a skip to her step when she found the sleek car outside her school gates. A tingle ran down her form as Haru parted from her friends at the gate and tried to walk briskly past the nice car.
"Hey, kid" the darkly tinted windows rolled down and a heavily tattooed arm waved her over. Haru made no move to go closer. Instead just turning her head in acknowledgment as she shucked her backpack from its falling position. The owner of the hand sighed before barking an order: "Come 'ere." He spoke in a thick accent not like any Haru had heard before, the girl immediately assumed he was a foreigner.
"I'm not supposed to go near strangers." Is all Haru had responded as she slowly shuffled back behind the school gates.
"Ain't a stranger, ya mom's cousin. Ya mom in the ER, let uncle drive ya over." The man had muttered gruffly as a blank face shifted into Haru's view. Haru stared at the faceless man for a second before pouting.
"Why are you lying?" She had asked, only for the man to growl in annoyance.
"Listen brat, be a good sky, and stop asking questions and get in the car!" The door to the car creaked open as he spoke, large bear-like men slowly meandering out of the tiny thing. Haru had squeaked once at the man's voice before turning back to her school with a cry.
She distantly heard the man command the large grizzly bears to grab her. Only her tiny stressed soul was too busy running for her life. She could feel the danger thrumming through the man as she ran past the school and out the back alley all the while screaming for her mom.
For once the men did not stop with her screams, instead, they mowed down any who tried to help the little girl reaching out with muscular hands for the much smaller form of the girl. By the time the men had left her alone, Haru was before her house bawling her eyes out. Her mama was quick to open the door for her little Aurora with hushed whispers.
Mama had called the cops immediately and the two sat in a stew of worry as they waited for one to show up at the door. Calming water had flooded the room at that point, allowing Haru a reprieve from her scare as she slowly closed her eyes to rest a bit.
And then there was a knock.
"Should be all better Yamamoto!" Haru chirped as she clipped the last bit of gauge in place. Haru tries to smile at the boy in assurance as he bends his arm this way and that only for the battle's memory to scare her with worry.
"Eh, this is Rokudo Mukuru?" Tsuna asked from nearby, squatting next to Reborns little form and looking at something in the tiny 'hitmans' hands. Haru glances over in curiosity only for a shiver to crawl down her form. In the photo, a man glares back between the scary dog-boy and another in glasses.
Haru can't help but frown though as she looks closer at the glaring man in the picture. "Is that really him?" She mumbles as a small niggling at the back of her head says otherwise. The man, while angry in the way she knew bad men to be, looked more depressed than anything.
The group makes no move to confirm or deny her worry as they instead talk over one another. An argument starts as the group tries to sit down for a snack. "Haru you would prefer a refreshing soup of green-yellow bug over some nasty sushi." Bianchi clips, glaring dagger at Yamomoto's bento box.
Haru is not sure why Bianchi has become so combatant over such a small compromise but still smiles shakily as she grabs the purple vile of...soup. "Haru thinks we can share both equally?" She tries uncertainly, eyes flickering down at the concoction just as it starts bubbling out of the canister and spilling all over the place. She immediately drops the creation with a shriek as she looks over at Bianchi in bewilderment.
"That wasn't me," Bianchi responds cooly just as the bento's Yamomoto had made also explode into heated bits as if to prove her word true. "It would seem we're being attacked…" She adds with little worry as the others look around in panic.
"There!" Gokudera yelps just as he throws a dynamite stick randomly at a nearby building. With a loud bang, the area fills up with smoke just as a girl's voice broke out from the debris.
"What boring weapons." Haru would like to argue that dynamite is not exactly what one would proclaim as 'boring' but she also is too busy freaking out at the girl sitting calmly with a clarinet. The girl is wearing a Kokuyou outfit just like the boys from before spurring the group into a sort of panic.
"Our enemy was supposed to be a team of three" Gokudera mutters in confusion as the girl tuts annoyedly.
"What shabby looking men, even for mafia." She starts with a sigh. "Men are money and I can see you have none, this is why I prefer Mukuru!" When nobody responds to her clamor she picks up her instrument with an amused hand. "Time to totally mess you guys up!" She giggles and blows into the clarinet.
With the start of music the land starts to boil and boom leaving Haru and the others to hide behind a bulk of debris in panic. Haru can hear the others yelling over one another on a plan but also can see Tsuna sprawled on the ground crying in fear. Haru kinda wants to join him in on the ground, this girl is really scary!
"Hey you, you're wrong." Bianchi starts calmly from where she stands past the groups barrier, goggle eyes glaring down the teen. She had apparently never made a move to hide instead still standing in poised calmness. Haru thinks she looks sort of like a hero right now. "Money is not the most important thing, it's love."
Suddenly the two are in a battle with one another, One with a clarinet and the other holding two large plates of oddly colored food. Haru worries she may have died a while back or something as the sight before her seems more than silly. Clarinet girl tooting her horn and exploding bits of food as Bianchi just ran gun-ho into her face.
They also seem to be arguing with one another about love and money? Apparently the reason Bianchi was even fighting was because the clarinet girl offended her by talking about money. Haru had known Bianchi was very obsessed with love...Just not this badly.
Honestly after the fight between Yamamoto and the weird dog guy, Haru was expecting something more...normal? Maybe this is just a mafia thing though? The others, minus Tsuna, did not seem nearly as surprised about the turn of events. Gokudera was calculating his sister's chances to win if anything.
Haru gasps as Bianchi is hit in the face with the clarinet end and falls to the ground with a hack. "What 'love'? Nothing beats money!" The clarinet girl cries shrilly as she puts her lips on the end of the clarinet for another attack only to frothe at the mouth and fall to the ground. Loud gurgling escaping her form as Bianchi rushed over to where Reborn was apparently sleeping soundly.
"The perfect poison cooking, even a touch works…" Gokudera mutters next to Haru and the girl sort of pauses in wonder.
"Is...Is she dead then?" She questions, choosing to ignore Bianchi's cooing of the 'asleep' hitmen's form to instead poke the girl. Gokudera just shrugs noncommittally, once again reminding Haru of all the times she had almost eaten Bianchi's food. She would really need to thank Tsuna for all the times he had blocked Bianchi during those exchanges.
Just when they assume their battle is over and are beginning to wind down footsteps can be heard from nearby. "Ah good to see the greedy girl is gone" A nasal voice comes from the building as a creepy man with a large grin comes creeping from inside. "I guess it just means it's my turn. Please look carefully, the next target is being claimed."
Haru squints to get a better look at the screen and sees two opened windows. One showcases Kyoko and Hana on their way home from the hospital and the other shows...her? Glancing up Haru sees the bird with a camera hovering over her form and quickly wonders how nobody noticed the large bird with a camera. Besides it the sky is clear and bright, a dead give away to an obvious spying kit. Er, not that noticeable she guesses.
"Kyoko and Haru!" Tsuna cries just as the windows appear on the wall behind the creepy old man. He's looking between the video of Haru and Haru herself as the girl herself just points at herself in confusion. She's just as confused about her sudden stalker.
"Hahi! Why are you videotaping Haru?" She cries when things start catching up to her. She must have been a target for something! Kyoko as well! The two girls who were supposedly meant to stay in the dark were part of this whole thing!
"To be honest I wasn't expecting you to be coming into the fray little girl. No matter. My name is bird and these-" Suddenly the camera showcases a weird form behind Kyoko and Haru. "Are the world renowned assassins who are loya-"
"Eep!" Haru cries, throwing a sharp kick behind her and immediately swiveling around on her other heel. The faceless thing tumbles back from her kick as Haru quickly grapples it to the ground and clips the back of its neck. Sighing in relief when it stops creepily shaking to and fro.
Bird and the others just stand staring at her in surprise as Haru huffs standing back up from the knocked out beings form. "Wh-WHAT THOSE ARE WORLD CLASS ASSASSINS HOW DID A PUNY GIRL LIKE YOU MANAGE TO WIPE ONE OUT!?" Bird shrieks in surprise, his nasally voice grating on Haru's already injured ears.
"Element of surprise?" She tries just as she sees her camera turn off and instead Kyoko enlarges. A frown marring her face as she watches the second of the two creeps wiggle behind her friend's unsuspecting form.
"W-well no matter, I still have one. Know Vongola you must either follow my orders or watch your precious friend die." He sneers as he catches his bearings. Watching the whole thing unfold only reminds Haru of exactly why she wanted Tsuna to tell her the truth. Had she let both her and Kyoko know of the troubles surrounding him the girls would most definitely be on guard.
Instead, Kyoko is still of the belief that these random attacks are just that 'random'. She has no reason to believe her friends and much less herself would be attacked. Which of course leads to a creepy malformed creature holding a match up to her hair as the old man before Haru threatened someone, anyone to punch Tsuna.
Bianchi kindly does just that as Haru flinches at the contact. "Awe, so soon? Alright, next order. Stab the Vongola boss with this knife." Birdman comments with a fleck of blood dripping from his nose. "Make sure to make it good or bye-bye little girl."
Is...Is he enjoying this? Momo has told Haru about this type of thing. She said it's what you would call perverted scum. Haru is not the type to insult others, always looking for the best in them, but even she can see just how lecherous this man is as he huffs at every turmoil between the group.
Just as Tsuna goes to stab himself, bleeding heart that he is, a new form appears on the screen. The twin screeches as it falls with a kick and Doctor Shamai appears on-screen with a smirk and poor suave.
"It's a good thing Reborn told me to keep an eye on you." The man remarks smoothly as he lets a mosquito leave his hand and bite the twitching creature. The thing twitches a tiny bit more before seizing as a whole, blood gushing from him and all movement seizing. "Now then, let's get you, ladies, home."
"It was you!" Tsuna cries in surprise as he looks down at Reborn in surprise. Haru is thankful Reborn thought that far ahead and mad Reborn never felt the need to tell them that they might be targeted. Honestly Haru is starting to get rather upset with the lack of trust Reborn seems to trust in her. Haru can hold her own! She just needs to know what she's looking out for!
"To help when others are in trouble is what a family is for." Reborn nods as Tsuna thanks his tutor for his surprising amount of kindness. "Though I guess Haru didn't need it…" He notes blankly as he glances past the group and at the passed out form of the creature that was sent to follow Haru. With a flick of his chubby wrist, he shoots one bullet into the thing's head before nodding to the group.
Both Haru and Tsuna pale at his kill as Reborn puts his gun away and looks off into the woods with a glare.
"Now then, quit hiding." He notes into a bush. Haru tenses at the idea of yet another person to fight. Still stressed from her first one on one. That and the realization that her and Kyoko were actually meant to be bargaining chips for Tsuna's death. She bets her whole sewing collecting Tsuna will never tell Kyoko about this.
The bushes rustle as a little boy pokes his head out, sad eyes glazed over. He seems to become frazzled from being before the group and shifts on his feets awkwardly. Before anyone can say anything to the scared boy he speaks up. "I-i'm sorry…" He starts before turning and running back into the brush.
"Fuut-".
"Fuuta!" Haru calls immediately chasing after the boy. She can hear the others grow quieter as she chases the boy in worry. Part of her acknowledges that she has now separated from the group, breaking her promise with Reborn to stay out of trouble, but the other is blinded by the boy's scared eyes. The sorrow they speak of that worries Haru. "Fuuta! Haru will listen if you want to talk, Fuuta!" Haru tries as she sees his form rush out of the forestry and into a run down building. The girl barely even thinks twice before running in after the boy.
"I can't go back to the family." Fuuta starts just as Haru finally catches up to the boy, the two now in a dark room on the third floor. They are both gasping in breath from their long and unexpected chase. Haru worried her lip as she took in the boy's frazzled form.
"Hahi, of course you can Fuuta! Nana must be worried sick about you!" Haru starts, padding closer only for clapping to take up her attention. In the middle of the room a man sits on a worn couch applauding the two. Haru tenses, once again reminded of the dangerous predicament she and the group had walked into. She is now on her own with a child and no true way to defend herself except her lessons with Fon.
Lessons that had only just started coming into fruition.
"What a lovely reunion!" The boy starts as he stands from his spot and walks over to the two. Fuuta begins to shake as though in fear and Haru is quick to move in front of him.
"Leave Fuuta alone!" She commands with fake confidence as she herself trembles at the unknown. A slice of mist thumping at her form in warning, begging her to turn and leave. Still Haru puffs her chest out and holds her shaky ground.
"Oho, Little sky trying to act big and brave?" The boy jokes as he stops right before her form with a large smile. "I'd love to watch you try, sadly I'm very busy today." He grins as his hand moves over Haru's face and everything turns dark. The last thing Haru thinks of before she loses consciousness is of Fuuta's scared face and the others whom she had left and probably were worried sick about her. Yet again, Haru was proving the boys right, she really did mess up this time.
"Haru!"
"My brave little aurora. Mama is here now, no more scary men will hurt you." Haru's mama hums lightly as her fingers thrum through her hair. Haru looks up blearily and blinks the oncoming sleep from her form. A small sigh escaping her lips as she moves farther into mama's hold. An unconscious part of her clinging to the little swirls of water coaxing her skin with need.
"M'not little anymore" Haru mumbles into her mama's hold as her body betrays any maturity and melts with her mothers embrace.
"Oh hush, you will always be my baby aurora. My little light in the dark." Her mama chuckles and Haru smiles into her hold. Haru can feel her waters brush her skin like a ghost of a long lost lover. "I remember when you used to talk in first person like a little princess, it was so cute! Mama swears her little aurora is growing up too quickly! Now she talks in full sentences like a grown adult, next thing mama knows she'll be hugging you goodbye for college." Haru's mama coos sadly.
Haru
Haru frowns up at her mothers sad smile and pouts. "No I won't, Imma live with mama forever. I looooove mama!" Haru giggles diving for a hug as her mama giggles happily.
"Mama loves you too." Her mother coos ruffling Harus' hair before humming a little song. Haru is quick to get comfy in her mothers hold, a happy smile marring her face as she slowly succumbs to the best rest she could last remember. The gentle thrumming of her mama's fingers in her hair and the thrumming waters that wrapped around her form in a cool embrace soothing her to sleep.
And then there is a knock at the door.
Please wake up Haru.
"Ah! That must be the police!"
Haru's mama gets up gently putting Haru back onto the couch and hushing her little pout as she goes to answer. The little girl's heart begins to thump with worry, she subconsciously can feel it. The wrongness oozing out of the doorway. Yet her form stays lax on the couch as her mother opens the door.
It's not real. Haru wake-up.
There is murmuring, voices that are thick and accented grunt over the girl's mama's melodic thrum before a bang is heard. Haru jumps from her spot on the couch with utter despair as she feels the warm waters drain from the room.
"Mama?" She calls as little feet touch the ground and gently pad down the hall.
"Hey kid." The same voice as earlier that day greets with a sleazy grin as leather shoes walk over the red body of Haru's mama. Little Haru's heart beats out of her body as she scrambles to check her mama.
"MAMA!" She cries splashing through the blood to shake her mother's still from. A hole sits beautifully right between her mama's wide open eyes. The man moves to kneel next to Haru with an arm slung around her sniveling form.
This is just an illusion Haru, you need to snap out of it.
"Did it to yourself, kid, told you to come to the school. You just had to run didn't you? You caused her death." The man smoothly chides with a pat on her back. A lackluster consolation as Haru snivels, eyes racking with tears down at her mother.
"My fault?" She asks in dread as she looks up at the man in hysterics. His faceless form nods.
Haru could feel herself drop, and could feel the dread eat her soul away. Maybe if Haru had been more awake she could have stopped her mom. Or maybe she could have blocked the bullet. Anything to save her.
Wake.
If only she was a better daughter, if only she had been there for her mother when needed. The world around Haru begins to shatter as it turns white and formless. A white open cell for a broken girl. Haru looks down at her larger hands with a sad sniff.
Regal hands brush through Haru's hair as she looks up to her mama's warm eyes. "My little aurora never stops smiling for me." She whispers as she stands and begins to walk away from her daughter. "Never let them take your light away." She utters before disappearing.
Up.
Haru stands distraught at the form, immediately catching chase. "No, mama come back. Haru can't do this. Haru needs you!" She cries shrilly running endlessly in the white space. "Please, Haru lied! She's not a grown up! Haru still needs her mama!"
She sees a form off in the distance. A warmth much like her mothers, though different in color, sits around the form as Haru runs up in tears. There's another, a fight. The warmth is going to die, going to be stabbed.
Haru screams as she runs right up into the way of the two. The world shatters yet again as the second man's weapon pierces her front and something breaks. A shrill cry echoes within her form and Haru opens her eyes for the first time.
HARU.
"Haru!" Tsuna's voice calls from behind. His flames lick her with worry, the whole room stinks of fear. So much fear from one boy. Someone is amused, maybe the boy in front of her. The same one who had scared Fuuta. He's looking at something on her.
What is he looking at?
Oh, Haru's necklace. Why is it shattered? Haru can't for the life of herself remember what has happened. She glances around the room with a rising panic and sees her friends all scattered around the room, each equally injured. What had Haru missed?
The fear lessens, or maybe it just doesn't compare to the absolute anger rising in heated flames. Rage licks along Harus cold form and burns her as her heart begins to speed up in panic. She knows that flame. Why are they mad? Why is Reborn mad?
Haru looks back down at her necklace as panic blooms all down her form. She messed up. She told them she would be fine. Now look at what happened. Haru ran off and left the others to get hurt while she slept away. They were hurt and Haru did nothing. And now she really messed up.
Reborn is mad at her.
He's burning with anger even as his face stays blank.
Haru can't breathe.
She messed up.
She can feel everyone.
Everything.
All because she messed up.
She broke it.
Christmas Special!
A Trip Through The Reviews
Before any reviews, let's start with a rather embarrassing piece. So I had gone through both my and archive of our own reviews for questions to compile here, which you may have noticed there is no similarly named story on both sites. Instead, there is "How To Protect The Sky" and "A Weird Sky" which has oddly the same description. This is because my google docs were titles "A Weird Sky" when I first started writing and had yet to decide on a name. When uploading to archive of our own I had come up with the other title. Then three chapters in a had decided to put the story onto without thinking much and had, in a very Haru-like ditziness, named the story based on the docs (which I had never changed). AKA I now have two stories that are the same story but with different titles. Fun right?
Obviously, this issue is troubling me, or I wouldn't have brought it up, so I probably will change one of the names sooner or later so they both match. If any of you have a preference to either just let me know!
Ok now for the Reviews!

Review: I have to say, I'm really interested in this story. I love how you are expanding on the concept of flames and how they can be used. I also love how we get an inside on what Haru is feeling/sensing even with her not having access to her flames.
And I have so many questions!
Is the necklace blocking her flames entirely? Can others like Reborn notice the block or do they just assume Haru is not flame active? Since the necklace is purple, I'm guessing it has Mist flames in it. Will another Mist be able to tell? How did her dad even get the necklace? Does that mean her dad knows about flames and maybe even about the mafia?
I can't wait to see how this plays out!
Answer: The necklace does consume mist flames, but it was made by another. Any strong flame user can notice it, just not what it's used for. Her dad is a pretty successful scholar, I'd say he knows a few smart people that might be willing to help...For a price of course! As for how others see Haru, she's pretty much a civilian in their eyes.

Review: Does this mean every sky has a special ability or it goes more into the purity and strength of the flame when the abilities begins to develop?
Great chapter!
Answer: Personally yes, I like the idea that with a stronger flame the person also gets abilities. I spent a long time going back and forth with Haru's since I don't want her to have anything overpowered but also want her to have a noticeable power. Hopefully I chose right!

Review: Aaaaaah 3 I'm loving their interactions so much. So Reborn DOESN'T realize why he's so curious about Haru omg I would have thought he'd know immediately, but it makes sense if Viper's mist flames are behind the necklace (if I read that right). And I assume that's also the reason Fon was confused? cuz of the necklace?
My fave part was when Reborn puffed up in pride at Haru's compliments over the tea tho XD that was so cute. Was the warmth that Haru felt his flames accidentally slipping from his control? lmao so cute
Answer: Yes the necklace is a huge conflict for the two. As two strong flame users they can tell immediately that somethings wrong. Flame users whose flames are not yet awake usually have a very weak amount of flames that one can sense if they push. Yet Haru doesn't have a lick of that, more like a void. When either does push to see they just see mist flames that they both know are not Haru's. And yes the warmth was little 'ol Reborn getting too happy!

Review: Fantastic!
I Like your explanation on her impression on Dino. I was confused at first, but i like your clarification. So she didn't see his sky flames first, but his sun flames which are weaker than his sky. Was Dino subconsciously having flame attraction ?
Answer: It's more so a mix of the both that I think caused her reluctance. Like the his sun might think 'oh look a sky' but because he also is mainly a sky Haru has an automatic dislike for his sun. I guess you could say its because he's not a pure sun like Kyoko or Reborn? And yes, subconsciously he did have flame attraction towards her. I think in the end he sees her in the same light he sees Tsuna. But it's my bad for not bringing up his sky flames at all, I sort of put them on the back burner...I'll find a time to put in a more clearer reasoning in the next few chapters!
I hope that helps though!

Reviewer: AysaWolf
Review: [Haru makes a point to not bring up her troubles with Fon, deciding with a frown that no, the two are not quite friends. Fon had made it exceedingly obvious with that one comment. The two, while close, were not that close. Not at least in Fon's eyes. Haru would respect that, no matter how much it hurt. Fon had placed a barrier between the two, a reminder to the girl to not prod where she didn't belong. ]
... fuck that hurt. That really hurt.
[Being with the gang at the pool that next Saturday turned out to be the perfect solution. Haru had spent the week passing faking smiles as she started questioning every person. Was she even friends with Tsuna? Sometimes Tsuna would show her a troubled smile or blow her off in a similar quality to Fon and it made her question her place in the group.]
^this and everything following it. You are just trying to make me cry aren't you?
So is Haru a sky then?
Amazing job on the chapters, I loved them. I swear you were trying to make me cry or something this one though.
Answer: Nah, not tears yet. Just the base for them! :) Haru is 100% a sky, the question is why are her flames being hidden?

Reviewer: Susukisawada
Review: I think is razonable why his dad hides Haru. She's a Sky and skies are rare. If Haru's dad knows about Mafia or if is a part of it, he should know this and that many of other people is capable of doing to have a Sky, so he decided it was better to hide her daughter to not lost her like her wife or something like that (Guessing time hahahaha), or maybe he just didn't wanted to let her daughter suffer for the lost of her mother.
Anyway, I think that was a good idea until she met the other, because now she knows of others flames users (although she didn't know what they exactly are) and is aware something is missing in her... Maybe instinctually she's searching for an harmonization... She talks about family and friends and trust... (Guessing time part 2 hahahaha)
This story always le me with with this feeling of "what if..." Hahahahah. I want to know what Fon would say if he knew Haru thinks they are not friends. I will patiently wait for the next chapter (with all my conspiracy thoughts hahaha). I really love how you write the harmonization and all the feelings involved bin that. Thank you so much! And sorry for my gramatical mistakes, English isn't my first tongue.
Answer: You are not too far off with your guesses! I was inspired by a few other fanfics where sky flames are seen as this hot commodity. The stronger the flame the more people will fight to have it. By having no affiliation in the mafia Haru is kinda up for easy grabs since nobody is there to protect her.
Haru sees Fon as a friend, she just acknowledges that he does not see her in the same way. I picture Haru as the type that's very open and trusting so she sees everyone as a friend. For her, it's hard to understand that some people cannot trust as easily.
Also, don't worry about your English! The fact that you are reading English literature (fanfic or not) means it'll get better pretty fast! Reading is a great way to learn after all!

Reviewer: Chimeras
Review: Can I just say I love Momo? Like I thought she was just going to be some random OC friend you were using for Haru but like, this is so much better. I love that she was engaged to Hibari and was just like "Nah fuck that." And I honestly can't wait to see more of her.
But does this make her Haru's Cloud? You said that Haru didn't feel a pull to Skull like she did with Reborn and Fon, so is that why?
Answer: I would like to start by saying Momo did start off as a nobody just to flesh Haru out. I was unsure how to move along and ended up on a whole Momo esc chapter. She ended up a lot like me when I dislike someone. Her engagement with Hibari was more of a way to showcase how tight of a lead her mother had on her and her slow progress towards independence.
As for her being Haru's cloud, nah she's inactive and thus has no true pull for Haru. She truly just likes Haru for who she is. Skull is a cloud so while he may be childlike he's also naturally less clingy. He still thinks really likes Haru!

Review: Have you decided on who will end up in her sky? Does she have any guardians yet? Or is the mist just a potential guardian? Anyway I loved this fanfic! I'll be sure to keep checking for any updates! Good job!
Answer: Yes I do in fact have an endgame harmony in mind! Haru has no official guardians as of right now. The mist would probably like to be a part of her harmony sadly they are already in one :(.

Review: Is Momo being a cloud the reason why she and haru left the house so quickly in chapter 7? Cause, like with Tsuna's sealed flames, her flames have been trying to bond with Haru's Sky and doesn't want Skull to become Haru's cloud?
Answer: Nah, nothing personal like that. Momo is just the type that hates idle chat with strangers. I think the fact that Skull is nice to Haru actually puts him in the good book with Momo!
I tried to answer blatant questions but if I missed any don't be shy and yell at me!
So I lied, I did write a chapter for this christmas.
Sadly I didn't lie about it being a bit more emotional than I would like during the holiday cheer. Oh well! Also we see the start of Haru's ability! Empathy! Hopefully it makes sense for her since I went back and forth on it for a really long time before just saying 'screw it' and sticking to my gut.
My friend was really angry while grammar checking this. She didn't even notice some mistakes cause she was busy being upset.
Have a happy holiday guys!
