(Free tickets)
Haru had won so many free tickets before. From the lucky draw in front of the department store ("Hahi! Thanks to that, Haru could go to the onsen together with Kaa-chan and Tou-chan!"); from her teacher, for getting the highest score on the test ("Hahi! Thank you, sensei! Haru will work harder from now on," she thanked her teacher, "That's good, but next time I wont give any prize, no matter who got the highest score," her teacher replied, eyeing the movie tickets in her hands); from a radio program, for answering the questions right ("Congratulations, Miura-san, you can get your prize….." the voice said, "Yay!" Haru squeaked); she had won all of them.
"Hahi? A free ticket?" Haru repeated the words that she heard just now, "Why so sudden, Kyoko-chan? And you're still on your honeymoon period, right?" she asked, lying on her bed, resting her whole body.
She could hear chocking sounds from the other end of the connection, and grinned widely, 'Uh…Haru-chan...it's just, I think you'd be bored on your own, so I arranged a date for you,'
"Haru doesn't need a date…." She muttered, "but Haru'd gladly take the ticket, it's the ticket to go to that new amusement park, right? It's been a long time since Haru can play…." She said, smiling happily.
'Really? But I already passed the ticket to Dino-san, since he was going to Japan yesterday….he said he'd pass the ticket to someone else, sounds like a blind date, right? Isn't it fun?' the other said, giggling, 'after all, didn't you say your parents had been pestering you to marry lately?'
"….alright then…" Haru finally answered, she could only hope that the one Dino passed the ticket to were a nice person.
(To hell)
Under the ground of Namimori Temple, there's a building of The Foundation, go inside, deep….deeper, and you'd find the chamber of the descendant of hell. No one dared to go past unless it's really important, or if the main entrance was closed and they need to go through the other way (those unlucky souls).
Hibari Kyoya closed his eyes as he leaned his back, enjoying the quiet atmosphere in that place. No one dared to disturb him after all.
"Good Morning, Kyoya!" No one but this one person who walked inside without his permission. Hibari opened his eyes and glared at the intruder, "Eh? What's with that face, Kyoya? And to think that I'm going to give you…." He paused for dramatic effect, drawing out something from his pocket, "this free ticket to go to the amusement park!" he showed the ticket triumphantly, Hibari yawned.
"If you're not here for a fight, then go away, Bronco."
"Come on, you're too stiff, try to relax a little bit, Kyoya." Dino argued, but Hibari easily ignored him. The blonde sighed a heavy sigh, then turned away, "Alright then, I'll go myself…..oh, and Kyoya?" he called for the other, who was ready to close his eyes once again, "Haru-chan worked under your supervision, right? Can you give me her address?"
An eyebrow was raised, "Why do you want to know?" he asked flatly.
"Oh..it's just that seeing that I'm going to go with her, it might be good if I contact her now and plan our date together….." he said, shrugging, a grin found its way onto his face as he walked toward the door, waiting for his ex-student's response. In a split of second, the legendary pair of tonfas found their way toward his neck.
"Who told you you're free to go, Bronco?"
(Date)
Haru stood in front of the amusement park's gate. She glanced at the number of the gate, and glad she got it right. She took out her cell phone, checking the time. She came twenty minutes earlier. Today's not a holiday, and definitely not Sunday, so there's not much people there. There were only students who decided to ditch school, each with their boyfriend or girlfriend. Haru checked the time once again, there's stil five minutes from the promised time. She zipped and unzipped her jacket out of boredom, with a little anxiety mixed in.
She had been on a date before, but it was only a play-date with her classmate's cousins or siblings, with people she knew. A car stopped before her, and the door of the passenger seat opened. A blonde man came out of the car and smiled at her.
"Good morning, Haru-chan, sorry for making you wait," he greeted her, smiling. Haru's face instantly brightened.
"Hahi! Dino-san, good morning! Is Dino-san Haru's date for today?" she asked as he walked toward her.
"Ah…no, I'm not your date….oh, Enzio seems like he wants to play with you," he said, smiling, handing the green turtle to the girl, who happily accepted it. A cute chirping voice made her looked up only to see a little yellow bird flying toward her.
"Hahi! Hibird is coming too!' she said cheerfully as the bird landed on her shoulder, "Hahi?" was the next thing she said as her face darkened and her smile stiffened. She looked at the car right when another door opened, she then looked at Dino, who's grinning widely.
"Ha…hahi?" her date came out of the car, looking way too gloomy for a guy who's about to date someone.
"There, Haru-chan, he's your date," said Dino, way too cheerful for Haru's liking, "don't worry, I'll be right behind you," he said, trying to comfort the girl as he patted her back. Haru quickly gave Enzio to Dino as Hibird fled toward its owner, then she put her right hand inside her jacket's pocket, blindly looking for her cell phone. If she's going to die today, she at least wanted to tell her family and friends how happy she was to know them.
(Messages)
Haru started typing messages since her parents bought her a cell phone. At first, she only typed important messages, like when she informed her parents she's going to be late, or asking her friends about earlier subjects that she didn't really understand and she used it to type playful messages when she's bored, such as 'Hello! Isn't today a great day for eating cakes? '
Much, much later, after she learnt the importance of using her time wisely, she only sent important messages, (but sometimes she sneakily sent something like 'Hahi! Hibari-san is so scary! Haru wants to go home!' ). So when she found the truth about her date, she quickly typed a message without taking her cell phone out of her pocket (she's an expert at blind-typing now), because it was important.
The message was short, 'Haru's happy we ever met, please don't forget about Haru even if she died.' It was sent to all the numbers listed in her contact list.
[Roller coaster]
Haru's first time riding on a roller coaster was with her cousins, with their parents waiting at a nearby café. Since they were only ten that time, they screamed a lot that their throats hurt. The next time was with her classmate, she screamed really loudly too, but that was fun. And then there was the time she went to an amusement park with Tsuna and others (since he promised both her and Lambo he'd take them there after they returned from the future), all of them screamed, even Gokudera clutched at the safety tightly, if she remembered it right. There was fear, but also something else inside her that time.
And now all the pleasure and excitement melted into fear as she sat on the ride. The seat beside her was sat on by someone she knew way too well. The chain moved, and the car shook a bit, she glanced at her companion.
"Scream into my ears and I'll bite you to death this time, Miura." He said flatly, leaned back, looking for a comfortable position before the car moved slowly. Haru wondered how could he still remembered the time she screamed into his ear, but that thought vanished as the car sped up. For once, Miura Haru didn't scream when riding on a roller coaster, she bite her lower lip and clutched onto Hibari's shirt instead. Hibari's wrinkled shirt and Haru's bitten lip easily brought a misunderstanding when the Cavallone's tenth leader saw them later on.
[Drop Zone]
Drop Zone, is a ride that bring you up to some height, and then dropped itself at various velocity. It was the one ride Haru loved the most. It made her feel ticklish that she laughed whenever she rode on it (this earned her weird looks from others, but she just laughed sheepishly).
Haru waved at Dino (who decided to wait on the ground with Romario) as the ride climbed up, Dino waved back and laughed (amazed at how childish the woman behaved at times), and Haru laughed because he laughed. Somehow their laughter annoyed Hibari.
"Shut up, it's annoying,"
On the ride that usually made her laugh, Haru felt she wanted to cry.
(shoot 'em all!)
They were going to try the haunted house, but since the location's too far from the place they're currently at, they decided to try the arcades instead. They arrived before a shooting stand. Hibari shot her a glance that would be best translated as "it'd be useless…" and she replied by saying (loudly), that she'd get what she wanted.
Sine the ticket that they bought (it was used to play all the rides) didn't include arcade games, Dino paid for them. Haru's target was a small Namehage plushie that was very rare (mainly because not many wanted them and the producer gave up making them already). Since the target's size was small she tried aiming toward a bigger plushie first. Her current target's a bigger black cat plushie with sour face that somehow reminded her of the person who stood under the shade, glaring holes at whoever dared to stare, her boss, her date.
Remembering all the things she'd went through because of him, her eyebrow twitched in annoyance, and she shot the plushie with all the anger she felt toward her boss. The plushie fell successfully and she somehow felt thriumphant. She quickly placed the plushie in her pocket after the park's employer handed it to her, and aimed for the Namehage plushie, she grinned widely when she finally got what she wanted.
She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned her head to see a grinning Dino. "Hahi?" was Haru's question, the blonde man glanced toward his former student and whispered to her,
"why don't you try aiming at his heart, eh, Haru-chan?" he teased, and chuckled once the girl blushed a dark pink.
(going home)
Since it's getting late (Dino managed to persuade Hibari to stay and let Haru enjoyed the night's shows), Dino told Hibari to drive Haru to her house using one of the Cavallone family's cars. The ride home was dead silent that Haru considered getting out of the car and walk home by herself, if it's not because the fact that the roads are already empty.
Once they arrived before Haru's place she sighed in relief, making the man who drove her glared. She stepped out of the car, carrying her belonging, and was about to close the door when Hibari called her.
"You forgot that thing." He said, glancing at the black cat plushie that sat innocently on the backseat. Haru blinked in confusion, she closed the door, then walked to open the door of the backseat. She reached out her hand, hesitated, then turned to the one on the driver seat, she grinned.
"It looks too much like Hibari-san, then Haru thinks it's better to be with Hibari-san," she said, 'because it'd be too scary to look at it at night,' she added inside. She closed the door and ran inside her house. Leaving Hibari staring at her door for a good two minutes, he finally rolled his eyes and drove off.
