Chap 6 – College Party

"Gahahaha! Lambo-san wins again!"

"Hahi?! Again?"

Haru smiled miserably at the fifteen year old Mafioso as he jumped up and down, stuffing his win of grape candy, down his mouth.

Not that this was new to her; for exactly a month now, she kept getting stood up every movie night, because Gokudera would always cancel last minute saying he had to go on a date with Chrome. And then she would either hang out with Hibari in the library or she would just go to Lambo's to "babysit" and make sure that he didn't throw parties whilst his parents were out of town. Today, Hibari was in a lecture so she was stuck with Lambo; not that she minded though, it was fun to hang out with the some-what matured 15 year old Mafioso.

Haru picked at her salad aimlessly as her thoughts wondered to Gokudera and Chrome eating dinner together.

'I bet there's a candlelight dinner and everything… But ppfft, who needs that? Besides, I'm having f-fun' – She faltered. 'I-I've got Lambo and grape candy a-a-and umm…. –'

"Eh? Haru-nii? Are you thinking about someone?" Lambo asked interrupting her thoughts, and causing Haru to fall off her chair.

"HAHI?! H-Haru doesn't have a crush on a-a-anyone!" She replied hurriedly whilst rubbing her backside.

"I never said anything about liking anyone – All I said was if you were thinking about someone" Lambo smirked.

"Soooo – who is it? Eh?" Lambo asked; an evil pedo-like grin forming as he nudged her.

"Haru doesn't have a crush on anybody! Haru swears desu!"

"Fine. Whatever…"

"S-so? What does Lambo want to do?" Haru asked, desperately trying to change the subject.

"Let's do some quizzes!" Lambo said cheerfully.

"Hahi?! Isn't that a bit feminine for you?"

"Lambo-san can do anything and everything he wants!"

"Okay, okay!"

"So, Haru" – Lambo picked up a magazine and started to read it.

"Do you get angry around this person?"

"Eh, Lambo? What quiz is this?"

"Haru-nii! It's; Does he like you?" Lambo said, as he sat on the sofa.

"O-okay. But who is this person?"

"Ahh! Stop with the questions! - It just asks if you get angry at someone."

"Err, yes?"

A few question-asking minutes later, Haru had gotten into the mood of the quiz.

"Do you often bicker with each other?" Lambo asked, stuffing three of the ten remaining, grape candies in his mouth.

"Definitely" She said, placing a grape candy in her mouth.

"If you don't answer his calls or come late, does he make a big deal out of it?"

"Omigosh, yes!"

"Second last question – does he insult you, if you get hurt or make mistakes?"

"All the time!" Lambo smiled evilly before grabbing another grape candy.

"Last one! Is he always there for you to lean on?"

"Hmmm" – Haru tapped her chin in thought before smiling.

"Always."

Lambo popped a handful of grape candy in his mouth as he circled the answer on the last question.

"Is that the last one?" Haru asked.

"Yep."

"So? – What's the result?" She asked eagerly.

"It says that; he has a massive crush on you"

"Eh?"

"It says, that –"

"No, Haru heard what you said. B-but no one likes Haru that way!" Haru stated in confusion.

"Yeah, and I'm ugly. Lambo-san was reading a few magazines at school the other day and it said if you bicker a lot, look out for each other, worry about each other, help each other out, and get jealous if they hang out with the opposite gender; than it means that you like them."

"E-e-eh?"

"Honestly, I don't know when he fell for you but it is pretty obvious that he likes you."

"I-i-it is?"

"Even a blind dog could see it!" Lambo commented smugly.

"B-b-but, how did you know if Haru didn't know?" Haru asked.

"It's easier to see if someone else likes someone than it is to see if you like someone." Lambo replied knowledgably.

"A-ah. Demo, he couldn't possible like Haru!"

"Uh… yes he could." Lambo said.

"D-demo, he always fights with Haru and insults Haru!"

But he always helps Haru-nii!" Lambo pointed out.

Haru opened her mouth and closed it again.

'He couldn't possibly like me… could he?'

"See, Lambo-san knows everything!" – Lambo exclaimed interrupting her thoughts. "I mean think about it - it all adds up. He helps you all the time and worries about you. You'd have to be pretty stupid – unlike Lambo-san – to NOT see the signs!"

'I can't believe it… he likes me.'

"He actually likes Haru" Lambo heard her mutter.

Abruptly getting up from her seat, she collected her things.

"Arigatou Lambo-kun!"

"A-ah, your welcome."

"He actually likes me…. Hibari actually likes me!" Haru exclaimed.

"Eh? H-Hibari? I was talking about Baku –" Lambo was cut short by the door slamming, curtsey of Haru who had just run out of the house in excitement.

When Haru reached her home, she quickly entered the shower, thinking about the college party that was on tonight.

0oO0oOo0

As Haru entered the party, she was immediately overwhelmed as the stench of sweat and alcohol that swept over her. Prying herself out of the mob, she made her way to the drinks table, cautious of what to drink. Deciding on bottled water, she began to sip some and began to observe the place, looking for her best friend. Eyes lighting up as she saw a familiar silver haired boy and blue-nette, she made her way over.

"Konichiwa! Gokudera-kun, Chrome-chan!"

"Ah, Konichiwa Haru-san" Chrome said, hugging her.

"Please, it's just Haru!" Haru said.

"Ah, hai – you look really pretty H-Haru, I love your dress" Chrome commented shyly.

"Aww, thank you! Not as pretty as chrome-chan though! Purple really suits you! – And Gokudera, how are you? Haru hasn't spoken to you in ages."

"I'm fine. You?" Gokudera replied nonchalantly.

"Haru's good." Haru smiled, before remembering what Lambo said.

"Ah - Has Chrome-chan or Gokudera seen Hibari-san?" Haru asked.

"G-gomen, no." Chrome answered.

"Why?" The curious Italian asked.

"Hahi?! Haru was j-just asking! – But, anyway, Haru will see you later" Haru replied, before quickly scurrying away.

0oO0oOo0

It was ten minutes later, when Haru spotted him; smoothing out her dress and fixing her hair; she took deep breaths, before approaching him.

"Ah, good evening Hibari-san"

"I see you are wearing the dress."

"Yep. Haru thinks it's really pretty and is really fortunate that Hibari came and helped her when she was sad." Haru rambled.

"Mmhm."

"Ah, Hibari-san's suit looks really nice on him." Haru said, blushing.

Hibari stared blankly at her before nodding. "Thank you."

"Ano, Haru didn't know that Hibari liked going to parties"

"I don't – I'm just making sure everything is in order."

"Oh, we –"

"Excuse me; I have to go tell that couple, that they can't be making out there."

"H-hai."

A deflated Haru sighed in defeat as she entered the bathroom and looked in the mirror for reassurance.

'I can do this.'

As she left the bathroom, she saw Hibari leaving the party. Weighing up her options, she decided to follow him into the night. Quietly following him from a distance, she hid behind a tree as he turned around.

Cautiously, she continued her little "stalking", but stiffened when a drunk teen approached Hibari; who, in returm punched the drunk in the face. Terrified, she hid behind a bush and she began to hyperventilate.

'H-h-he p-punched him! He knocked him unconscious. OMG! OMG! OMG! Wait. Stop! Haru, stop! That w-was just for self d-defense. Yeah, everything is okay. Hibari is a good guy. I can do this!'

Standing up, taking deep breaths, she continued to follow him, wondering; when would be the right time to approach him. Suddenly, she lost track of him and panicked.

'OMG! Haru is going to be stranded in the middle of nowhere. And I'm going to be kidnapped a-a-a-and WAIT NO! Haru, relax. Just breathe. He couldn't have gone that far.'

And for the second time that evening, she picked herself up and took deep breaths. Slowing walking around the campus, she saw a silhouette figure standing underneath a big sakura tree which was brightened up, due to the moons light. Making it out to be Hibari, she slowly began to make her way over.

"Hib-" Haru began to say, but stopped herself as another silhouette figure appeared; who, as she stepped closer, figured out to be Yamamoto Takeshi; one of Hibari's very few friends.

As she quietly watched, she saw the two talk to each other before Takeshi held Hibari's hand.

Haru's eyes widened as Hibari and Takeshi moved closer to each other and…. kissed.

"HAHI?!"

0oO0oOo0

Hibari and Yamamoto turned around at the sound of Haru's yelling and stared at the traumatized girl.

"A-ah, Haru-san! Daijoubu?" Yamamoto asked surprised.

"A-ah…." Haru's eyes locked with Hibari's; who was glaring daggers at her.

"Hmm?" – Yamamoto followed her gaze and laughed. "Kyouya! You're scaring her."

"Gomen about him, he's always grumpy!" Yamamoto said, laughed nervously.

"No, t-t-that's okay. G-gomen, for uh err, disturbing y-you!" Haru said bowing deeply before running home, tears in her eyes.

0oO0oOo0

The next morning, Haru's dad knocked on her bedroom door.

"Haruu? Haru, are you there? I'm coming in" He said, making his way to her bed, where she was lying; staring at the ceiling.

"Sweetie? What happened last night? You just run upstairs and went to sleep! I-pin even said she heard crying!"

"Lie. N-nothing happened. Gomen for making you worry."

"Oh c'mon. You can trust your old man can't you? – Was it a boy?" He asked gently but wiggling his eyebrows in the process. Giggling, Haru nodded.

"Ooohh! Just wait right here, I'll be right back"

Two minutes later he came back, a mug full of warm hot coca in hand.

"Now, tell me what's wrong."

"A-ano, there was this guy Haru liked and Haru thought he liked me b-back but yesterday Haru f-found out he was g-gay." Haru said, forcing her tears back down.

"Huh? Well, are you sure he was gay? He could've just had an unusually high voice or som-"

"Dad. He was kissing someone." Haru said bluntly.

"Oh."

"Exactly! And now, I'm going to be forever alone! Living with hundreds of dogs; all by myself!"

"Oh, you're just exaggerating! Besides, I have a solution for that!"

"Y-you do?" Haru said looking up.

"Sure do! Three words – 23rd Birthday Bash! Aka, Mission: Help Haru Find A Husband!" Haru's dad explained excitedly.

"Eh?"

"I already made the invitations and sent them out, but I need you to give these three invitations – I didn't get enough time to give them out."

"Hahi?"

"Urgh, remember we said we were going to have a birthday party for you? Well, it's going to be next week Saturday! I have invited the most legible bachelors from all over the world! Trust me, by the time you finished partying hard, you would have forgotten about your little gay crush! You won't regret it!" Haru's dad explained.

"Ah, h-hai.' Haru said uncertainly.

"Now, hurry up and get dressed for Uni." Haru's dad said as he winked at her before leaving for work.

0oO0oOo0

"Ohayo Haru!"

"Ah, ohayo Chrome-chan" Haru said deflatledly.

"What's up with you?" Gokudera asked.

"Nothing, Haru is fine."

"Are you sure? Is everything okay?" Chrome asked concerned.

"Hahi? Everything is fine! Here" – Haru handed them both their invitations.

"Huh? What's this?" Chrome asked.

"You're having a 23rd birthday?" Gokudera asked surprised.

"Yup! It's formal dress by the way; you know how my dad can get!" Haru said.

"Thank you for inviting us Haru-chan!" Chrome said, hugging her.

Gokudera watched Haru suspiciously as she began to talk to Chrome animatedly about the party ideas.

"Ah Gokudera? What's wrong?" Haru asked, dragging him out of his thoughts.

"Ah, nothing."

"Well anyways, I've got to go! See you later!" Haru said, waving good bye.

Sighing she allowed her smile to drop and made her way to the library where she had to hand out her last invite – which she dreaded the most.

"Ah, Y-y-yamamoto-san!"

"Ah, Haru-san. What can I do for you?"

"Um, ano. Could you please give this to Hibari-san for me?"

"Huh? Sure, why not!"

"Arigatou!" Haru bowed, before scrambling out of the library and making her way home.

0oO0oOo0

Haru sighed miserably as she walked home that rainy afternoon. Not watching where she was going, she bumped into someone and fell head first onto the pavement.

"Ah, ouch." Haru said, as she rubbed her head.

She heard a man grumble before bending down to help her. Opening her eyes, she was met with coal black eyes and black spiky hair.

"Nizumi?" Haru mumbled, thinking she saw Nizumi from the manga.

"Excuse me?" The deep voice said, offended, before hastily picking her up and walking away.

"Ah Gomen! And Arigatou" Haru yelled before she continued to make her way home.
