I'm sensing a love triangle. La-lala-lala-la. But it's still developing, on to the story!
Please bare with my spelling errors, or small mistakes. If I make a big mistake please tell me, and I'll fix it if I can.
I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or the characters. And if this story sounds familiar or exactly as another story, I didn't steal the idea.
*&* Four *&*
After buying some snacks at a convenience store, Haru and Yamamoto walked their way home. Yamamoto's house/sushi restaurant was also in the same direction, it was just a few or more blocks ahead.
"But then my mom started throwing her kitchen knifes at the cat and accidentally broke the neighbors window. Luckily no one was in the room when it flew in but the neighbors sure weren't happy about it, so they made us pay for a new window." both Haru and Yamamoto laughed at the story. "That's why she hates cats ever since."
"Wow your mom sounds really interesting, I would like to meet her one day." Yamamoto stated after she finished.
"Hahi, Yamamoto-san you never meet my mother?" Haru asked surprised, she was sure most of her friends meet her mother, at least once, before they decide to stay away from her. Maybe he should meet her after the deadline when she gets some rest, Haru thought.
"Nope, I only met your dad at Tsuna's house, remember, when we couldn't solve problem seven?" The memory made the boy laugh how no one can solve it.
"Oh yeah, well you'll really like her, she maybe a little crazy but she's really nice." Haru smiled at him and blushed at his smile given to her in return. It's not like he never smiled at her before but from where he was standing, where his back against the sun that was setting, his smile look more radiating. She turned her head away from him to see she was near her house. Haru felt relieved and a little disappointed to be parted. She noticed something odd about her house.
"Hahi? The lights are off." Haru said more to herself but the boy heard. "Did Mama go somewhere?"
"Is something wrong?" The boy asked confused. Haru continued to look at the direction of her house when she answered him.
"Well Mama is suppose to be working on her book and she's suppose to stay in her office which is in that room." She pointed to a window on the bottom left side of her house. Haru furrowed her eyebrows, pushed her lips forward and crossed her arms. "Don't tell me she ran away from Momoko-san again." She sighed and walk to her house. She smiled and waved back at the boy who started to walk toward his own house, he also waved and said a quick 'later'. It wasn't long when Yamamoto was stopped as he heard his name being called. He turned around confused and saw the girl ran to him with panic in her eyes.
"Yamamoto! My house has been robbed! And I can't find my mom anywhere!"
******
The first thing the two teens did was call the police and stay outside in case the burglar or burglar's were still in the house. Yamamoto stayed close to the crying girl in case something happens to her. Soon the cops showed up and heard their story after scouting the place.
"Well the house is all clear and there was no sign of force entry. But we did find this note that tells us what happened to your mother." One of the police, a young male with light brown hair while the other had darker hair and was older than his partner, gave her a piece of paper. Haru took it with a worried expression and read the note. She was surprised that it was in her mother's handwriting.
Haru-chan guess what Momoko-chan heard that my computer broke so she invited me to spend the night at her place. She's so nice she even let me use her computer and printer. You know I don't know why I thought of her as a demon, she's an angel sent from above. I feel blessed, and don't worry about me I'm having fun. Please tell Papa not to worry about me, and that I love him even when are forced apart. You and Papa are forever in my heart, please take care. Love Mama.
P.S. If I don't make it back by the end of the week then fear for the worst, yes that's right the cats acted on revenge and attacked me. Bye-bye!
Haru stared blankly at the letter. Even when she read this she can hear the sarcasm in her mother's words. Why does it sound like she's no longer living at the end? Haru heard Yamamoto laughing next to her, I guess he read it too. This was to unbelievable, but luckily her mom wasn't here when the robbery happened. Haru cried again in relief for her mom and the fact that everything valuable and weighed less than a hundred pounds in her house was stolen. Just as she realized how screwed she was Haru heard her name being called in the distance. Both Haru and Yamamoto looked up to see the gang run to them in worried and confused expression.
"Haru, Yamamoto, are you guys okay?" Tsuna asked worried in his voice as he ran near. He looked at the police and back at them both, hoping for an explanation. Haru ran to him and hugged him as she cried on his chest. Even though she loved him as a friend now he was the best when needing comfort. Haru didn't noticed his awkward movement as he placed his hands on her shoulders.
"T-tsuna-san, I d-don't know what to do." Haru sobbed. Tsuna looked at Yamamoto, very confused.
"Haru-chan what happened?" A girl asked. Haru looked up at Kyoko and released her hold on Tsuna and went to Kyoko. Kyoko hugged back while looking at the crying girl wide eyed.
"My house has been robbed!" She sobbed out. Now they understood but were still worried for the girl. Tsuna went to Yamamoto and saw that he didn't have a clear expression on his face and was looking at Haru. He wasn't sad or angry so that was a good thing. If you consider a robbery and a girl crying in front of you a good thing.
"THIS IS SERIOUS TO THE EXTREME!" Haru didn't need to see that the voice belonged to Kyoko's big brother and agreed with him.
"Shut the hell up, moron." Haru's eyes widened at the voice. Kyoko felt her stiffen and didn't hear her sobs.
"Haru-chan?" Kyoko asked concerned. Haru stayed silent as she thought of the white haired boy behind her. What if he still angry, will he give me that same cold look as before? Haru thought, to afraid to turn around and see. No he shouldn't be. But I still won't forgive him.
"Have you call either of your parents before we came, I think they would like to know what happened." The oldest officer said standing next to Haru. Her eyes widened even more at how her father will take the news, but no need to fear here he comes down the street. The people standing could only wait for Haru's dad to park the car and run out towards his only daughter.
"Haru-chan what is going on, where is you mother?" He asked looking at his daughter to the policemen to the crowd of teens back to his daughter. Haru let go of Kyoko and she and the policemen told him what happened. As soon as they were done, the policemen told them at they are going to ask what they neighbors have heard or seen, hoping to get a clue.
"From what we received none of you neighbors knew a robbery has happened except for one." The oldest police officer pointed his thumb to the house behind him, it was to the right to Haru's house. "But all they say is that the robbers didn't look like robbers and they weren't suspicious of them since they enter the house as if they enter before." As this was said the people standing gave confused expressions.
"Enter easily you mean but how, shouldn't it be hard to enter a locked house?" Haru's father asked, Haru nodding next to him. Haru felt suspicious of the neighbor since they hate her mother, ever since she broke their window and other disturbances. She suspected that they also tried to give reason to the police to put her mom in the straight house but nothing has been confirmed.
"They said the house didn't looked locked, that's why they entered easily. Have you guys locked the house before leaving?" The youngest officer asked.
"Well of course we did," Her father said a little insulted, "I don't know wh-" He stopped midway and widened his eyes, Haru as well. Then their eyes where shadowed as they mumbled incoherent words. The others were confused by their actions and leaned in to hear what they were saying.
"Of course she was the last to leave." Haru's father said in a low voice.
"She is the type to forget things like this." Haru mumbled.
"She even left the back door opened one day," Papa mumbled.
"It was winter so the whole house was frozen." Haru finished.
"Of course she was kidnapped." Papa said.
"But Momoko-san could have at least remembered to lock the door." Haru mumbled. Then a large aura of depression swirled around them and they were in their dark depressed world.
The crowd leaned away from the father's and daughter's mumbling and sweat dropped, even the police knew who they were talking about. They waited a while until the officers got tired of this. One cleared his throat loudly to get the father's and daughter's attention. They snapped out of there daze and looked at the officer as if they weren't in a dark depressed state.
"Uh well with the character's description we were given, we are going to find the robbers and get your stuff back, that is if they already didn't sold your belongings." The oldest officer said. "And we would like for you to stay here and let us deal with the robbers." With that they nodded farewell and head to their car.
"We should be hunting as well, Tsuna." Reborn stated as soon as the police were gone. Everyone quickly turned to where Reborn was, sitting on the front gate of Haru's house.
"Eh Reborn-san?" Haru asked surprised.
"What are you talking about Reborn?" Tsuna shouted, "Why would I look for such dangerous people?" He panicked as he thought of what Reborn could be thinking.
"Hmph, you wouldn't let them get away from stealing from your family would you, Useless Tsuna." Reborn smirked, "Besides they scared Haru and made her cry, they should be punished." Tsuna couldn't help but look at Haru's tear stained face and think of the situation. In no time Reborn anticipated his thought, pulled out his gun and shot Tsuna in the forehead.
"Hahi?!" Haru yelled out. Haru and everyone were surprised as they saw the brown haired boy fall on the ground completely unmoving. Suddenly he jumped up, destroying his clothes leaving only his boxers, and a flame burning on his forehead.
"REBORN!" He yelled out, "CAPTURE THOSE THEIFS AND GET HARU'S STUFF BACK AS IF I WERE TO DIE!" He ran away from Haru's house, to where nobody knew except for him and Reborn. Understanding what's going on Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Ryohei followed him after giving Haru reassuring words and a pat on the head from Yamamoto. Haru and the rest can only stare blankly. Haru can feel her heart thumping against her chest, happy to have them care for her and her family. Those guys, she thought. She turned at Kyoko and smiled.
"Those guys sure are great guys huh?" Kyoko smiled and nodded in agreement. Having nothing else to do she invited Kyoko, Lambo, and I-Pin in while she and her father wrote down what they were missing. It was a tearful event as they continued the list, some of the object we're gifts from precious people and some hold precious memories like the sculpture of a swan Mama won at a contest. It was a precious memory because it was the only contest she didn't cheat in and their were no police to kick her out, a clean victory, literally. Haru and them had gone up to her room, while her father went to tell Mama what happened, and ate snacks that Haru had luckily bought earlier. They had the nerve to raid their fridge.
Haru couldn't help but worry what the guys are doing and sure enough Kyoko was thinking the same. "I hope they don't get into trouble." She said looking out her window it was already dark outside.
"Yeah, but I'm sure they will be okay." Kyoko said with I-pin on her lap. Lambo was sleeping noisily beside her and Haru. Haru remembered that they were at the tournament, it must have been exciting.
"By the way, how was the tournament?" She asked Kyoko wanting to get the full story.
"Oh, It was amazing both big brother and Tsuna-kun knocked their opponent out of the ring, I guess the extra practice before the game helped improve them. But after we were ambushed by the opponents teammates, it was really scary but Tsuna-kun, big brother, and Gokudera-kun beat them all up." She smiled.
"Hahi? G-Gokudera-kun was there when?" Haru asked but remember he was looking for them after their argument. Suddenly his cold glare appeared in her head but she shook her head quickly.
"Yeah he came right before Tsuna-kun's match, at first he looked scary but he became happy as soon as Tsuna-kun won. The whole thing was fun, I'm sorry you couldn't come" Kyoko told the girl remembering why Haru didn't join then. Haru smiled telling her she didn't mind and Kyoko smiled back. Their smiling faces turned to confused face as they heard something outside.
"Hahi? What could that be?" Haru asked while she and Kyoko ran downstairs, followed by I-pin and Lambo, who was kicked awake.
Haru opened the front door and was greeted by the boys and boxes filled with objects that looked like the stolen ones from her home. Looking closely Haru saw they were the stolen stuff and that the guys brought them back.
"Hahi? How did you guys find them?" She looked at the group who looked beat up. "What happened to you guys?" They didn't looked to be affected, except Tsuna who looked to be regretting his actions. Sure enough they dealt with the robbers who seemed to have some skill in fighting, some, since they completely lost.
"Big brother your hurt, you didn't get into a fight did you?" Kyoko asked as she ran to her brother, who shrugged and didn't seem to be fazed by the wounds. Both girls looked from one wounded boy to another. Why did they go this far? Haru thought tears forming in her eyes. She suddenly felt something heavy on her head. Hahi?
"Bwahaha gifts for the great Lambo-san, eh those aren't toys but Lambo will take them." Lambo said as he jumped from Haru's head to the stolen now recovered items.
"No Lambo those are not yours." I-pin ran behind him and hit him with her palms flat putting her inner force through as she made contact the baby, making him fly across the lawn. Lambo crashed hard on the ground and started to cry. Haru quickly picked him up and held him close while ignoring his yells at I-pin, which she completely became angry but kept her cool. She might accidentally hit Haru since she was holding him. Getting tired of yelling Lambo just sobbed quietly, his eyes huge staring into the distance.
Haru was still quiet with tears coming out. "Thank you." She finally told the group, who stood awkwardly at the appreciation, telling her it was nothing. Haru ignored there excuses and smiled brightly.
"Come on Kyoko, lets head home, this work out made me hungry, TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei yelled out and started walking to the direction of their house. Kyoko smiled and waved good-bye to Haru and group.
Haru waved back and said good-bye to the others as they headed to their own home. She looked back at the kids to Tsuna to the boy next to him, which was Gokudera. She realized as she stood there that Gokudera hadn't made eye contact with her or said anything to her since they came. She stared at the white haired boy walking away, wondering, then turned her gaze to the black haired boy. She smiled at how Yamamoto brightened her day and stayed with her in her time of need.
"Nice friends they are, those guys" She heard her father said. He came out and helped her to put their stuff back. "I got a call from the police and they said your friends caught the robbers and turned them in. They're pretty strong for middle school kids. You know the boy with the brown hair was almost arrested too until his friends talked them out of it for doing a good deed." Her father laughed.
"Tsuna-san?" Haru looked at him in disbelief. Now that she thought of it Tsuna run away with only his boxers and he came back with full clothes. Could it be because he was practically naked, yeah they could have considered him a pervert, if Gokudera-kun and the others weren't there. Eh I wonder why Gokudera-kun was so quiet, it's not like him.
"None of those boys is the one you like right, the rebel?" He ask narrowing his eyes and crossing his arms. He gave out an dangerous aura.
Haru widened her eyes as she remembered the lecture she was to shocked to pay attention to. She didn't hear it at first but she did now as her father seem to talk endlessly while putting their stuff in the proper place. Even at dinner, with the packed food they got from the market, he still didn't shut up and Haru felt a little depressed.
Now alone in her room she sat on the floor and rested her head on the bed. She wondered what her mother was doing, if she was resting well or had a proper dinner. Oddly I miss her and I know Papa misses her to, it feels weird without her around. Haru blinked when she remembered what her mother wrote in her letter. If she's using Momoko-san's computer than does that mean I don't need to buy one for her? Haru smiled, she would be able to use her paycheck on herself and with finding a job she wouldn't have to worry until later. She got up from the floor, went under her covers and rested her head on her pillow.
"Hopefully tomorrow would be a lot better." She said to no one and closed her eyes.
*&*
Lambo is the cutest and my favorite character. He makes me smile. I hope you guys enjoyed this as much as I did, its funny how Haru and Papa don't have faith in Mama, but they still love her.
Please review while I spend the whole day sleeping. I somehow write better after sleeping. Now that I think of it all the chapters have been written as soon as I wake up. Weird.
