Yay new chapter.

I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or any characters of it.

*&* Two *&*

Haru made dinner since her mother was stuck in her office writing her book she both loved and hated. Loved because she is able to write her wonderful thoughts and stories she enjoyed it very much. Hate it because she had to write it by hand since the her computer mysteriously exploded and Momoko-chan took all the fun out of it. She couldn't even enjoy eating dinner with her family if it meant disrupting her work. Stupid deadline.

Now it was only Haru and her father, who ate in silence, which never happened before. There was an awkward aura about them and Haru was about to burst into tears for many reasons. First, she was sad about getting fired earlier that day. Second, she felt guilty, she knew her that she broke her promise she made to both of them and Haru didn't know what to say. Thirdly, she was disappointed that Kyoko-chan and her brother couldn't go to the picnic tomorrow because of a boxing match Ryohei was in and Kyoko wanted to cheer him on. No I will not cry again, I'm mature, I can face the bitter disappointment. Haru sat straight waiting patently, calming herself.

Soon Mr. Miura was done and was thinking what to say while Haru stared at his closed eyes. Finally he opened them and Haru couldn't help but flinch a little. Here it comes, Haru thought facing forward without fear, Papa's disappointment in all my effort just to end up getting fired, even though it was clearly not my fault. If it was because I couldn't stop them then it is my fault.

"Haru-chan," Her father began.

"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH, I'M SO SORRY, sniff, I DIDN'T MEAN TO GET FIRED! BUT IT COULDN'T BE HELP! THE PLACE WAS RUINED AND I COULDN'T STOP THEM! WAAAAAHHH I'M SO ASHAMED!" so much for keeping cool. Haru placed her head on her arms on top of the table, sobbing. Very mature. Her father could only stare in shock before he cleared his throat.

"Haru-chan it's okay, since you are sixteen and this was your first job, I will forgive and forget what has happened today." Haru could only look up and stare at her father confused. "But I will not give you an allowance and-"

"YOU MUST ALSO BUY ME A NEW COMPUTER WITH YOUR LAST PAYCHECK, IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH THEN FIND A NEW JOB AND ADD TO THAT PAYCHECK!" Her mother burst out of her office, her hand strangely red and throbbing. She also looked like she hasn't slept for years and it's actually been a day.

"Hahi?!" Haru exclaimed while her father simply sipped his tea.

"AND IF YOU FAIL TO GET ONE BY THE END OF THE WEEK THEN," She paused, "then, uh, THEN SAY GOOD BYE TO YOUR ROOM!!" Her father choked and spit out his tea, dirtying the table.

"WHAT?!" Both he and Haru yelled. What is this woman trying to do, other than get a new computer.

"THAT'S RIGHT AND YOU'LL HAVE TO SLEEP IN A TENT IN THE BACKYARD!" She pointed outside but all eyes were on her stupefied. Haru and her father tried to argue with her, tell her she wasn't making any sense, and being lazy to use the computer to spell check her work. But Haru's mother simply ignored them and went back to her office. Both of them could only stare at the closed door, dumbfounded, and thought of previous times she had made attempts like this.

So in order to keep her room Haru must buy a new computer to replace her mom's broken one, that would cost a lot. Even if her mother was bluffing about her room, if Haru uses the money from her paycheck she wouldn't be able to pay for her cell phone bill and other stuff she planned to buy at the store. I guess a new job is what I will need, why the end of the week, is it her deadline, then she'll need one quickly. Haru went up stairs and took a quick bath while thinking about the whole event over and over. If it was to help her mother with her book Haru would gladly buy the computer, all she needed was to ask, no need for the threat.

Haru never expect the event that took place a few minutes ago to actually happen. She didn't even get the lecture she was sure she was going to get but was instead forgiven and to try again. I'm so lucky to have such forgiving parents, yosh, tomorrow I will start looking for a new job. Haru flopped onto her bed and stared at the ceiling. Some how Haru felt like she had something important to do tomorrow but can't remember what. Suddenly her cell phone rang though it sound far and muffle making Haru jump and look for the phone frantically.

"Where is the phone?" She asked herself looking left to right. Her room ended up looking like a typhoon hit in seconds and no where was her phone. It was still ringing so Haru stayed quiet and walked on her toes. Haru was like a lion searching for the sound of a weak and defenseless zebra careful not to miss her pray. There near the wall! Haru thought and she lunged herself onto the floor only to bang her head against the wall. Ouch, what the? Haru looked up and saw the window was opened. Don't tell me, she thought and looked out of her window searching the ground with the light of her room and the moon. There it is on the ground! Haru's face went from relief to shock when a squirrel came out of no where and sniffed the phone.

"Oh no! shoo shoo, leave my phone alone please." Haru pleaded then ran out her room. She made it to her backyard to see the small animal pick up her phone, that was still ringing, with its tail and run away. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

Haru chased after the animal and her phone around her yard and up a tree, she was an excellent climber. She followed him to a branch that broke with the extra weight, soon both animal and girl fell to the ground. Haru yelp and rolled off her back, it took some time for her eyes to focus. She saw the squirrel laying on the ground confused with the ringing phone, boy who ever was calling sure needed to talk to her. Haru quickly snatched her phone away, glared at the squirrel, and pressed talk. "H-hello?" She asked weakly.

"Haru? Are you okay?" the unknown caller said.

"Eh, Tsuna-san?! Uh yeah I'm okay just playing with a squirrel outside." Haru laughed weakly.

"Oh okay," Tsuna said confused but left it alone, "Um about the picnic tomorrow we can't go."

"Hahi, why?" Haru asked, first Kyoko and now Tsuna.

"It's just that somehow I have to compete in a boxing tournament with Kyoko's big brother and I-pin, Lambo, and Reborn are coming as well, we're sorry Haru." Haru was disappointed, after so long she wanted to spend time with her friends from working so much, but she didn't let it show in her voice.

"Oh it's okay I figured you'd be since your in the same boxing club as Sasagawa-san, Kyoko-chan told me earlier that she was going to go also to cheer him on." She told him.

"Eh really, but we are sorry maybe we can go another day." Tsuna said over the phone.

"Sure that gives me time tomorrow to look for a new computer anyways." Haru laugh. "Eh what about Yamamoto-san and, uh Gokudera-kun?"

"Oh Yamamoto remembered he had baseball practice to go to before you left but you were long gone and I don't think Gokudera-kun would go anyways." Tsuna gave a weak laugh. Somehow Haru felt a stinging pain when she heard this. Of course Gokudera wouldn't come. WHAT THE HECK?! W-where did that came from? Haru looked around frantically. Like I care about the jerk. Eh Tsuna is still on the phone.

"Very understandable, well good luck on the tournament, of course you'll knock him out in a second, you're so strong." Tsuna gave out a disbelieving noise but Haru ignored him and said good-bye. Haru slump down, eyes down cased, recalling the news she heard. She looked at the squirrel, who recovered, sniffing her feet. She gently pet the creature hoping it wouldn't run away. She needed some company even if it was with the squirrel that tried to steal her cell phone, she was desperate for comfort.

"Unrequited love is a tragic thing isn't it?"

Haru jumped in surprised when she heard the voice coming from behind. Turning around she saw her mother leaning against the door frame, looking thoughtfully at the moon. Unrequited? Haru blushed and stood up quickly making the squirrel run away to a nearby tree, this time her phone was put into her pocket her pjs luckily had.

"W-what are talking about, of course it's nothing like that, j-just, we we-were t-talking about canceling p-plans something important came up." Haru told her mother without meeting her eyes.

"Oh, a date?" Her mother asked bending her neck to the side with innocent eyes. Haru fell back blushing even more.

"N-no! H-how, a p-picnic with friends Mama!" Haru was embarrassed for her mom thinking of such things. Though she does wish for a date, like every other teenager her age, she was just waiting for the right guy.

"So it wasn't a date with this Gokudera guy?" Haru's jaw dropped, how did that guy come up? "Since you were talking to him." Her mother stated simply. Now Haru was confused, how could she thought she was talking to such a jerk, she would never call him and vice versa. Thinking of Gokudera, he was oddly quiet, oh yeah he was unconscious. I hope he feeling better. Haru's eyes widened even more. Why do I even care if he's better or not!

"No, I was talking to Tsuna-san, and I would never, never, date such a guy like Gokudera-kun, he's rude, says foul language, and violent!" Haru argued fuming with rage. She crossed her arms and didn't face her mother.

"What's this about dating?" She heard her father say in a threatening voice making her face pale.

"Oh just about Haru-chan falling for a rebel." Her mother say innocently with a hint of teasing. Now Haru was getting a lecture she got about being to young to date and about bad guys in the world taking advantage of innocent girls. This time Haru was too shocked to pay attention and she was sure she saw her body looking lifeless sitting on the couch with her father talking loudly in front of her. Weird something like this happened before than again she saw her body in a river being saved by a brown haired boy.

Haru woke up by the memory when she first fell in love. Tsuna-san. Behind him was Reborn-san and Gokudera-kun. She sat up and looked around. Hahi? When did I get in my room, wasn't I outside and wasn't it dark?! Haru looked at the clock that read nine-thirty. HAHI?! Haru stared blankly into space remembering how she got here, guess it was after the lecture. Suddenly remembering why she got the lecture she jumped out of bed and yelled, "I AM NOT NOR WILL I EVER FALL FOR THAT GUY! PLUS HE THREW DINAMITES AT ME CAUSEING ME TO DROWN THAT," She chose her words carefully, "PIECE OF TURD!"

( A/N: I think I'm going to change the ratings to T, since Gokudera is a rude guy with foul language :D )

"KEEP IT DOWN WILL YA, I'M TRYING TO WORK. WHY WON'T YOU MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL AND GET ME THAT COMPUTER! AND SOME POKIES!" Haru heard her mother say in the distance, though she was a floor below her room. Haru grumbled and went to her closet picking out something cute to wear, since cute clothes makes her feel better, she was a girl after all. She went down stairs after cleaning off the morning junk to eat something when she saw that food was already made for her. She smiled happily. Though Mama is working hard and she may be a little weird, she cares for me deeply. Funny right now she would be at work preparing the meals for the mourning customers, if she wasn't fired. Fired. Haru became as equally depressed as yesterday and laid her head on the table. She didn't feel like eating breakfast all of a sudden. Haru sighed she was going to have to eat if she doesn't want to pass out when she was computer hunting. Heh computer hunting, Haru laughed. Haru pushed herself off the table and dragged to get breakfast. She wondered when she would get her last check from her ex-boss, is it the same as when she gets her regular checks or in a couple of days? She didn't know, she never gotten fired before. An aura of depression was radiating off of the brown haired girl, maybe she should ask her mom.

Breakfast was done and she headed out of her house. She closed the door with a quick good-bye to her mom, and headed to town. Haru took her time walking and looking through the windows of the store. Usually she would head to the cake shop with Kyoko on days off and buy the most delicious dessert available. Now she was careful how much she should spend since she was few on cash and she would get paid on regular payday. That would be this Friday, good thing it was Monday. Haru went to an electronic store and search the computers. Some looked real good but was pricey, some were cheap but she wasn't to sure. Man this was difficult. She made sure there were no sales people near. It was hard to push away people who meant to help but she didn't want to be taken advantage, like last time. She once went to a jewelry store looking for a nice present for her mother for her birthday, let's just say she wasting more than one hundred dollars off the original price because someone, the clerk, told her a big fat lie. It was defiantly not limited edition or on clearance. Someone bright enough would check other store prices and if there were signs of a clearance or not. Sadly she could only blame herself and not the clerk, well she can but that wouldn't change a thing.

Walking out the store Haru, learning from experience, went to check other store prices and sales. She just hope some of the sales would last till Friday. After three hours of looking around and buying an ice cream cone, she went to Namimori Park to rest her feet. She was beat tired but this doesn't compare to the shopping sprees she had with Kyoko and her other friends, where she had to beat other women for the cutest and cheapest outfits, literally. Thinking of other times fight off women made her laugh.

"What are you laugh at stupid women?" A gruff voice was said behind her. Haru was surprised and irritated at this voice she knew so much. She turned around and glared at the man.

"I'm not stupid, Gokudera-kun!"

Hah finished. I would have updated yesterday but my neighbor's wireless internet was out. Hehehe. I could have use my home computer but I lost my USB drive. Though I'm not disappointed I got to start my next chapter because I was so bored and impatient. Please review or I'll skip a week when I finish the next chapter on purpose. Bwahaha I'm evil.

That's just a joke I wouldn't do that but reviews would be very nice.
