Chapter 3: Aftermath

Haru's POV

The whole gang was sitting in mount Namimori, all enjoying their lunch. The whole atmosphere was light and joyous and no one hesitated to share their thoughts with each other. Haru was chatting happily to Kyoko about the new cakes available in the cake shop while Tsuna was trying to awkwardly let himself in their conversation.

Everything was going perfectly until a loud meow came from a side, diverting everyone's attention to there. To their relief, it wasn't anything big. The scene in front of them was a normal scene. It was Gokudera desperately trying to get Uri away from him. The cat seemed to be bothering him more than usual making him choke it out of frustration.

This act, of course made Haru stand up.

"Gokudera-san! You must treat Uri-chan nicely!"

This made Gokudera more pissed than he was at the moment. "Shut the hell up you stupid woman!" While saying this, he accidently let Uri out of his grasp as the said cat was more than happy to run away.

"Uri!" Gokudera cried out as he returned to Uri hunting. Haru can only sigh at his behavior as Lambo and I-Pin kept mimicking Gokudera.

Tsuna was watching the whole scene with a sweat drop. Yammamoto was his usual optimistic self as he laughed and cheered on Uri. Ryohei was no different as he yelled at Uri to annoy Gokudera to the extreme. The girls were all sitting silently. Hana was of course thinking that Gokudera was a true definition of a monkey.

The next scene made everyone's happy expressions disappear without a trace. Gokudera kept running around, searching for Uri as he suddenly heard her meow near the edge of the cliff.

The cat was sitting there, with the usual proud expression as Gokudera dived to take her. But it didn't go as successfully as he planned. His dive was reckless and everyone could stare in horror as Gokudera tripped and fell from the mountain.

That moment, Haru, along with everyone else was hoping that a miracle saved Gokudera as they all leaned at the spot that Gokudera fell. But minutes passed and no one showed up. That was the point that reality hit everyone. Nobody dared to say anything as the boys were preparing to climb down the cliff to search for Gokudera.

Haru can only stare in utter horror. "GOKUDERA-SAN!"

"Haru!"

"Haru! Are you all right!"

Haru's eyes were wide open at the sound of someone calling. She blinked her eyes a few times only to realize it was her mother.

"Kaa-san!" Haru softly replied as her mother patted her hair.

"Haru-chan, are you all right? You were screaming in your sleep. And you are sweating too." pointed out with worry glazing her eyes.

"Y-Yes! Haru is fine. It was just a nightmare…" Haru replied brightly giving her mother a thumbs up. But inside she was shivering because of the 'nightmare'. It's not like she can tell her mother about yesterday's event. She wasn't sure that she could tell anyone about it actually.

"I see. Well you should get up now. It's already seven." Her mother replied as she stood up and walked towards the door.

Haru slightly nodded as she glanced at the alarm. She was supposed to be up at least fifteen minutes earlier. She must have missed the alarm due to that dream.

That dream was something she didn't even want to think about. It might have been just a dream and Gokudera might be happy and alive right now. But the future events did happen. And it was still haunting her to her very core.

….foreseen...

Haru reached the class a few minutes early. As she expected, only a few students were there. The rest were too lazy to show up early and most of them showed up late. Most of her classmates have screwed up their studies already despite it only being a week since school started.

Her seat was by the window and she thoroughly enjoyed sitting there. She was able to see the outdoors, which looked really nice as her class was on the fourth floor.

"Hey, Stupid Woman!"

Haru was a bit startled when someone broke her out of her trance. Quickly, she turned back and looked at the person who was talking and she was not at all surprised to see it was Gokudera. Seriously, who else will call her by that insulting name?

To be honest, Haru didn't know how to react. She just saw this guy die and she was dwelling about it for the last eight hours and even had a nightmare about it happening. So she just have to give a shot to her normal attitude towards him.

"G-G-Gokudera-san! W-what do you want?"

So much for being her normal self. Haru thought. She has acted like an utter fool and now he was looking at her with questionable eyes. But he was smart enough to let it brush away assuming that she was thinking one of her crazy thoughts.

"Tenth asked me to tell you that the whole family is going to have dinner at his place this evening."

Haru nodded at this. Maybe a little too much because Gokudera was giving her the weird look again.

"Where is Tsuna-san?." Haru asked and this time she managed to say it normally. Thank God.

"Uh. Yeah. About that, Reborn-san took him training or something… So well, he won't be able to make it to school." Gokudera replied.

Haru gave a light nod at this.

"Haru-san!"

Oh. That was definitely not Gokudera speaking.

"Chrome-chan!" Haru replied with a bright smile.

That girl was her best friend along with Kyoko and Hana. After everything they all went through the future and all, Chrome has really opened up to everyone.

"Good morning Hayato-kun" Chrome softly smiled at her boyfriend, who by the way sits right behind Haru, which leaves her more open to his daily insults.

Gokudera reply was very un-Gokudera.

He gave Chrome a genuine smile and right after that, gave Haru a glare. He was probably embarrassed that she was witnessing his moment with Chrome. Taking note, Haru was quick enough to turn back around.

But after seeing that moment, something stirred inside Haru. It wasn't jealousy or anything like that. It was guilt. She didn't know why but seeing that reminded her of that future. How will Chrome act if she found out that her boyfriend was dead in ten years. How much pain will she be in? Not only her. Bianchi will be heartbroken to know what happened to her only brother. Tsuna would be equally sad. Nobody was going to be happy.

"Miss Miura!" Someone yelled at her.

Haru's eyes looked up to see their teacher glaring daggers at her. Not only that. The whole class was staring at her. And they were all standing up while Haru was sitting.

Awkwardly, Haru stood up and for a few seconds Mrs. Glia kept glaring at her making Haru feel very uncomfortable. That women really was a living demon.

She can hear the whole class snickering at her making her feel more and more humiliated. What an awful start for an equally awful day.

.…foreseen...

The rest of the day progressed better than the first few hours. Yammamoto showed up to class ten minutes late and Tsuna didn't even show up. Which meant that Glia was on an edge and made sure that everyone paid for Yammamoto being late and Tsuna being absent. The demon that bitch was.

"Tsu-kun trains a lot and comes back with a lot of cuts…" Kyoko kept telling Haru and Hana about her worries regarding Tsuna's training. Chrome has already left so it was just the three of them. They finished school a few minutes ago and were now walking home.

"Kyoko, he may not look like it, but I'm sure he is fine." Hana was trying her best to make her friend feel better.

Somewhere during the last five years, Hana has come to know about the mafia and everything Kyoko and others were involved. She took it hard. The fact that she was left in the dark about all that was painful for her. And that even lead to a huge crack forming in her friendship with Kyoko. That tension lasted for a few days when Hana gave up and told Kyoko that no matter what, she cannot stay without being friends with Kyoko and they made up.

"Yeah. Tsu-kun is strong. Oh and Haru-chan, we have to buy cake for tonight's dinner as dessert."

Haru didn't even notice Kyoko talking. Normally she would have participated in the conversation. But now, somehow from thinking about Kyoko and Hana's friendship, her minded diverted to Gokudera.

"Haru." Hana slightly poked her shoulder.

"Hahi!?" Haru asked in a gob smacked expression.

"Haru-chan, are you okay?" Kyoko asked worriedly. The whole day, Haru has been acting weird, starting from homeroom class. She didn't even finish her cake at lunch, her excuse being that she ate too much at home. She definitely wasn't herself today.

"Of course! Haru was thinking about tonight's dinner! It's going to be fun right!" Haru replied.

"Yeah…" Kyoko and Hana answered simultaneously while both of them were thinking the same thing. What was going on with Haru?

"Well, we should head to the dessert shop now. This dinner is our first together as seniors so it has to be perfect in every way!" Kyoko happily said as she linked arms with Haru and Hana and dragged them towards the cake shop.

.…foreseen...

The walk to Tsuna's house was short. Haru clutched the basket of small cupcakes in her hand walked towards the house. Kyoko was right. It was a special dinner. It was their first dinner as seniors. There will be some who going to be there as part of the family, but for the rest of them, it was kicking off senior year. As Reborn would say, kicking off senior year, Vongola Style.

When Haru reached the house, the front door was already open and it was quite noisy inside, indicating that most of them were already here.

"Haru-nii!." A thirteen year old Fuuta greeted her.

"I will take the cake basket" He politely offered to take it inside to which Haru happily agreed.

As Fuuta took the basket inside, Haru examined the room. It seems that the whole house was prepared for the dinner.

"Haru-chan, there you are!" This time, it was Kyoko and Chrome who were walking towards her. From the looks of it, they must have been upstairs with boys.

"Hey…" Haru weakly replied.

"Hayato-kun fainted again, so Boss and Yammamoto are with him" Chrome updated Haru with the information.

"Is he okay?!" Haru asked as worry overcame her. Was it a symptom of what happened to him? Is it deadly?

Kyoko and Chrome were obviously surprised by Haru's outburst. "Of course. He just saw Bianchi-san, that's all." Kyoko reassured her while thinking about Haru 'state.

Tsuna's POV

The dinner started half an hour late because Gokudera was unconscious. But when it started everyone was in chattery and shared their thoughts on senior year and what they are going to do after school.

"I am thinking of applying for a baseball scholarship" Yammamoto said with a chuckle.

"Tch. What a baseball idiot" Gokudera muttered. "I will get a degree in mathematics" He announced proudly.

"I will go to Madison Square Garden with the extreme strength!" Ryohei exclaimed loudly. Though he finished school earlier than the rest, he was still hanging around with them. Collonello was apparently training him for a few years before he went his own way.

"What about you Tsuna?" Yammamoto asked Tsuna who was quietly listening to the rest of his friends talking.

"Eh? Me?" Tsuna answered with a confused expression.

"He will become the Vongola boss of course" Reborn butted in before Tsuna could answer. Tsuna didn't even bother to argue because by this time he already knew that it will be useless and he would end up being beaten. So he just gave a sigh and let Reborn continue on how his future will be.

Tsuna took a moment to ignore Reborn and noticed that everyone was really happy and this made him feel really relieved as their boss. But he noticed that there were two people who were completely opposite of their usual selves. Lambo and Haru. Normally Lambo will be trying to steal other people's food while now he was in a very stingy mood. While Haru seemed to be spacing out.

"Oi, Lambo?" Tsuna started to talk to Lambo.

"What, no-good Tsuna?" Lambo replied rather rudely which was not at all surprising.

"Why are you so not annoying?" Tsuna wouldn't admit it, but when Lambo was not being annoying the whole atmosphere feels uneven. But it was stress-free though.

"Humph. Haru took Lambo's ten year bazooka and still didn't return it" Lambo replied with his brows furrowed.

Tsuna took a quick glance at Haru who was spacing out and she wasn't even touching her food much.

"Lambo! Did you say something mean to Haru?!" Tsuna spoke fearing that Lambo did something.

Maybe he did something to Haru and she was off mood because of that. Lambo definitely has the capability of doing something like that. He was a little brat after all.

"No! Lambo-san didn't even talk to Haru because of that!"

Tsuna didn't say anything to Lambo. What was wrong with Haru? With his hyper intuition, he can sense that something was clearly wrong with Haru. She seemed distant and not at all like her usual self.

"Hey, Kyoko-chan…" Tsuna decided to find some answers from his girlfriend and Haru's best friend.

"Hmm?" Kyoko replied sweetly.

"What is wrong with-"

"Haru-chan?" Kyoko finished the sentence for him.

Tsuna nodded at her reply.

"She seems different today…" Tsuna elaborated.

Kyoko's face formed a sad expression. "She was like this the whole day. She didn't say anything even though I asked her…"

"Kyoko-chan…" Tsuna replied as he cast another look at Haru. She was eating a little and was chatting with I-Pin a little. But that aura of something not being right was still there. It was his job as the family's future boss to find out if anything is wrong with the members.

"Kyoko-chan, we should talk to Haru afterwards" Tsuna gave instructions to Kyoko. "We should" Kyoko replied while looking at Haru's forlorn face.

Haru's POV

Haru could feel Tsuna and Kyoko looking at her from time to time. She kind of felt uncomfortable. She didn't dare to look at them.

The dinner on the other hand was going well. Haru tried her best to overcome her thoughts and mingle herself.

"Ahoshi! How dare you!" The chattering in the room died down as Gokudera suddenly stood up with his white shirt covered in food, while Lambo was sitting on his chair slightly shaking. From the looks of it, Lambo must have done something which caused Gokudera's food to spill. Not exactly an uncommon scenario.

"Hayato-kun! Calm down!" Chrome tried to reason with Gokudera who was currently fuming. It obviously had no effect as he got ready to take his dynamites to which Tsuna started freaking out.

"Gokudera-kun! It's Ok! Please don't blow up my house!" Tsuna screamed while flapping his hands out of fear. "Here, you can have my food!"

Gokudera shut his eyes. If tenth says he must do it. Or else he won't be the right hand man. With this in mind he sat down.

"Ugh. This is the only good food I can have since I live entirely on canned food" Gokudera muttered under his breath.

This wasn't gone unheard by Haru. Her mind suddenly bellowed with questions.

That was so unhealthy! Won't that be putting him at more risk! Unconsciously she kept staring at Gokudera until someone called her.

"Haru?" It was Hana speaking. Quickly, Haru cast her eyes away from Gokudera. Hana was still looking at her with concern.

"Um. I'm feeling sick" Haru said softly.

She was grateful that she got to hang out with everyone. But right now she was feeling off. Kind of sick. There was a heavy load on her back that was killing her. And seeing all these people just made it heavier. She can't stay here knowing it.

"Sick? Should we call Shamal?" Tsuna asked her. Haru shook her head. The last person she wanted to see was that pervert doctor.

"I will just go home…"

"Already? Come on Haru!" Yammamoto tried to talk her out. But she shook her head.

"No, really. This was fun, but I feel sick…" Haru tried to talk her way out of the dinner. Sometimes she wished that her friends weren't so stubborn.

"Haru-chan, we didn't even have your favorite cake yet" Kyoko softly spoke. Haru gave a small smile. "It's ok. Bye Guys" She quickly replied as she walked out of the room leaving everyone confused.

She made her way to the front door and grabbed her shoes and started to walk towards her house. It wasn't that far because for her senior year her parents got her a cozy little apartment near the school. That way she was able to go to school fast and visit her friends too.

"Haru!"

"Haru-chan!"

Haru nearly tripped out of shock when she heard two people called her. She turned back to see that it was Tsuna and Kyoko.

"Tsuna-san! Kyoko-chan!" Haru spoke with shock. She didn't really expect anyone to follow her.

"Haru-chan, you shouldn't be walking alone at night" Kyoko gave her friend a small smile as she leveled with her, Tsuna following behind closely.

"Um... Thanks…" Haru replied uneasily. She did appreciate them looking out for her. Really. But right now all she wanted to do was be alone.

"Haru, what is bothering you?" Tsuna asked out of the blue.

Haru didn't reply for a few seconds. She knew that she can trust Tsuna. But should she let him know that possible right hand man dies ten years later? Haru bit her lip.

"It's nothing big..." She replied. She didn't know why she said that.

Part of her wanted to tell somebody about what happened. And she also knew that Tsuna can figure out what was wrong on some level because of his hyper intuition. Maybe they can help Gokudera. But she didn't want anyone to feel as depressed as she was feeling right now.

"Haru, don't lie" Tsuna spoke a little sternly.

"Haru-chan, I know what is wrong…" Kyoko said with a soft expression.

Haru's eyes widened. There was no possible way that anyone would know what the real problem is. She didn't mention it to a single soul.

"You do?" Haru asked Kyoko will fear lacing her voice and Tsuna also asked the same question at the exact same time.

"You are in love with Gokudera-kun aren't you?" Kyoko told Haru.

"Hahi?!" Haru was genuinely surprised by that assumption. "No! That's not it"

Turns out Haru wasn't the only one surprised by Kyoko's assumption? Tsuna's eyes were practically out of his eye sockets.

"I caught you staring at him today…" Kyoko said when Haru recovered form the shock.

"No! No! Kyoko-chan, that's not it…" Haru cleared up the obvious misunderstanding.

Tsuna stayed quiet for a while before finally speaking. "It is something related to Gokudera-kun, isn't it?" Haru didn't even reply because her expression gave her away.

Tsuna figured out that much thanks to his hyper intuition.

"What happened Haru?" Tsuna questioned.

Haru stared at the ground for a while. She was facing that question again. Should she or should she not tell Tsuna about the future?
