(Peace)

Haru sighed as she leaned against the tree's trunk. Today's the wedding of Tsuna and Kyoko. She breathed in the smell of grasses and the dried leaves and then breathed them out. She glanced at the place where the party's being held. She closed her eyes and recalled what happened a moment earlier.

[Being around so many people made her so nervous, but she wanted to stay. She's okay with talking with random people, but avoiding people who's trying to flirt with her without hurting their feelings proved to be difficult.]

[Watching all of them came in and out of the hall made her blood ran up to her head and started to pound, pound and pound.]

['Are you alright, Haru-chan?' the bride, who escaped from the guests along with the groom, asked.]

[She smiled weakly, she wanted to say everything is okay, but soon she felt it's hard to breathe, too many people….]

['Hahi…it's….. there's just so many people here, it's a bit….cramped…' she answered, and it's the truth. The first respond she got was a stare from Tsuna, and a giggle from Kyoko, 'Hahii…?']

['It's just that you sounded like Hibari-san….' Tsuna answered, eyes darting around, making sure the object of their conversation is nowhere near them.]

She could feel the warmth crept up to her cheeks. She shook her head violently, and sighed. She leaned back and closed her eyes, she sighed once again.

"Hahii…why did Haru say that?" she muttered to herself, cheeks slightly pink, "….Haru's so stupid…." She added slowly.

"Wao," a voice said sarcastically, she immediately opened her eyes and turned to see the owner of that voice, "Took you long enough to realize that," he stopped a few feet away from Haru and sat under the tree's shades.

"Hahi? Ha-Haru might be stupid, but saying that kind of thing is Impolite, Hibari-san!" Haru protested, cheeks bright pink. Hibari only snorted and lie down.

"Shut up, or I'll bite you to death," was his reply.

Haru knew she should be thankful he didn't kill her right there and then. She knew, but somehow ignored it. She crawled to the place he's lying at, she bent down, careful to not let her hair tickle his face as to not alert him. And she screamed right into his ear.

By the time he recovered from the high-pitched-scream attack, she already ran off. He spotted her purse lying not so far, he picked it up and smirked. He then threw that purse toward its owner, hitting Haru on the back of her head.

When a squeaked "Hahi!" was heard, he closed his eyes and lay back down, smiling.

(Fate)

Since Haru started working at The Foundation, she rarely got a day off. There's no day off for a mafia, of course, it's like a religion, once you involved, there's no way out, and she understood that really well.

Haru hummed to herself as she fixed her hair. Where would she go? She had no idea. She just wanted to take a walk. With who? She questioned herself as she picked up her purse. It'd be good if she could go with her friends. But Kyoko's still away on a honeymoon. Chrome's busy, and so is I-pin.

Her parents turned their head as Haru came into the living room, ready to go.

"Are you going on a date?" her father asked, full of hope. Haru grinned.

"No, Haru's going to take a walk alone," she answered cheerfully, making her parents sighed in disappointment.

"I'll pray so that you'd meet the one destined for you, Haru," her mother said, wiping off a drop of tears from her cheek.

"Hahi? Alright, then…Haru's going!" she said, walking away.

As she walked alone, Haru thought back of the conversation with her parents earlier, '….the one destined for Haru….' She thought, passing the lining shops.

When she was fourteen, the world 'fate' had such beautiful rings in her ears. The thought of having someone destined for her, isn't that sweet?

She decided to stop to buy ice cream, it's her day off, there's nothing wrong with spoiling herself, right? After she got what she wanted, she continued walking.

She licked her ice cream as fast as she could. She's not going to have them spilled on her clothes, no, thank you. 'if Haru's going to meet that destined someone…then…there'd be a surprise encounter right?' she giggled at her own thought.

So far she met no one familiar. If she's going to meet that destined someone, shouldn't there something to spark it to happen? Like, she slipped on something, then crash onto someone. She frowned, that's cliché.

And, what if that destined person's personality is as tsundere as…..she quickly brushed off that thought. She felt something collided with her and stumbled forward, but quickly regained her balance. She turned around to see a boy fell on the ground with a terrified look on his face.

Haru was going to ask him if he was okay when the boy suddenly stood and ran to his mother, crying. Haru turned her head slowly, and what she saw made her froze on her spot.

She wanted to believe it's an illusion, that someone from the Vongola played a trick on her, maybe Chrome.

"Get out of my way, herbivore, or I'll bite you to death," if it was an illusion, whoever did it really did a good job.

"C-chrome..chan?" she asked, hopeful. The one before her growled dangerously. "….Haru's sorry….." the one before her is not an illusion, unfortunately, "Haru will….wash the coat…Haru is….really sorry…"

When she was fourteen, the world 'fate' has had such beautiful rings in her ears, bringing hopes and made her heart thumped lovingly. When she got older, that word had such frightening rings in her ears, bringing despairs and made her heart thumped nervously.

That day, Haru came home carrying Hibari's coat, it made her parents happy, but it made her cry.

Let's stop here for now, okay? Hmm…. I need more "events" to make them together. Sorry for any errors. m(_ _)m
