Reborn- Haru Loves You~3
Cherry-chan: Herro, minna! Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated!
Tsuna- What are you talking about? It's been a year already!
Cherry-chan: Just because 2010 passed and now it's 2011, doesn't mean a year passed! Well actually it does- but!
Tsuna- You gotta be more responsible to your story, don't you? Update daily instead of waiting for months and months!
Cherry-chan: Sorry, sorry. I'll try to update, but I don't know if I can promise that since I get REALLY lazy. But Cherry-chan will do her best!
Tsuna- She's going to give up, isn't she? She's gonna totally not do that!
Cherry-chan: I'm gonna try! Well, I hope I'll be able to update daily...Chapter 3! Oh before I before I forget, a little A:N-
I use my sister's laptop for updating the fanfics I write, but she doesn't let me use it so I steal it. Hehe :D I'll try to steal it more often so I can update! Also, the laptop doesn't have Word, but WordPad. The way I arrange the story usually ends up much more different. Since the lines I use to scene change rarely show up, I decided to alternate with xxxxxxxxx. That is all. Enjoy!
Previous Chapter~
"Haru-chan." Tsuna's mother sat next to Haru as well, patting her on the back and holding her other hand in a comforting way. "T-T-T-Tsuna san has always been walking ahead, following and looking at Kyoko-chan." More sobs and tears escaped from the pretty, tear-stained girl. "B-but...if Tsuna-san had just looked around once, he would've seen that I was right be-behind him!"
And Haru poured out her sorrow, crying her heart out, until nearly all her tears had drained away. "Are you nearly done?" Bianchi asked in a soft voice. Haru nodded, her eyes red and cheeks flushed. "Y-yes. Thank you." Nana set a cup of tea in front of Haru, the soft, sweet aroma gently calming Haru. "It's milk tea with honey, Haru-chan. It'll make you feel better."
Haru nodded. "Thank you, Mama." As she drank the sweet concoction, Haru thought to herself, Even so...Haru is heartbroken. So very, very heartbroken.
(Meanwhile...somwhere in Namimori...)
"Mou, Yoru-kun!" Kyoko giggled. Yoru looked down at her with such gentle and tender love, Kyoko felt her heart racing. "I like you alot, Kyoko-chan." Yoru murmured. Kyoko smiled, her eyes tearing up with happiness. "I like you too, Yoru-kun."
In fact...I think I might be one of the most happiest people in the world.
Chapter 3- A Girl's Young Heart
A week had passed. At Namimori Middle School, Kyoko and Yoru were acknowledged as a beautiful, lovey-dovey pair. It had been torturous for Tsuna,who always saw Kyoko and Yoru by eachother's side. Not once did Tsuna think about Haru, who had not shown up at all in his house or near the school, once.
"Hey, Kyoko do you want to go see that movie that came out yesterday?" Kyoko smiled. "Yeah, if that's no problem!" Arm in arm with eachother, Kyoko and Yoru walked out on the way to the movie cinema.
Tsuna sighed. It's no good anymore. I should stop already. "Juudaime!" Tsuna looked up, seeing his right-hand man, Gokudera Hayato. "Juudaime? Are you okay? You looked a bit..." "Ne, Tsuna. Cheer up!" Yamamoto grinned. "It's not good to frown and mope, you know." Tsuna smiled. "Thanks guys."
"Now I think about it, I haven't seen Haru at all this week." Gokudera nodded. "Yeah, now I think about it too, that stupid woman hasn't shown up all week." Haru...last week his heart had been broken by Kyoko. But he had broken Haru's in the process. A terrible feeling of guilt, sadness and pain stirred in his heart.
"By the way, what did you get on your test, Juudaime?" "I got a 60, actually. Reborn's making me study today. He said I can't go anywhere for the rest of the week except study." Yamamoto tilted his head to the side. "Really? I got a 35, your grade isn't so bad. Gokudera, you probably got a 100, right?" Gokudera scoffed. "Of course! I need to prove I'm smart and loyal enough to be Juudaime's right hand man!"
Tsuna sweat dropped. Getting perfect grades on tests is a sign of how smart and loyal you are to your boss?
"Oh, Tsuna if Reborn's making you study can I come too? I need help, after all." Tsuna nodded. "Yeah, of course!" Gokudera growled. "Are you thinking about trying to become Juudaime's right hand man? I'm going too! If that's okay with you, Juudaime." Tsuna smiled. "Yup, you can come too."
"I'm home!" Tsuna called as he walked into his home. "Eh? There's someone else's shoes here..." In the shoe rack (A:N/ I know, it seems so lame, I'm sorry .) among all the others were a pair of dark blue slippers. Mom doesn't wear those, Bianchi doesn't...I-pin and Lambo definitley don't-Then who?
Tsuna quickly rushed into the kitchen, ignoring the 'Juudaime?'s coming from Gokudera and 'Tsuna!'s coming from Yamamoto.
"And then, after that, I thought alot and decided that maybe-" Tsuna's eyes widened as he heard that familiar voice. The speaker's voice faltered as she saw Tsuna. "T-Tsuna-san." Tsuna gave Haru a strained smile. "Hi, Haru. I haven't seen you around for a while!" Haru returned the smile Tsuna had given her. "Hello, Tsuna-san."
Bianchi walked in front of Tsuna. "Tsuna, we have to talk. Somewhere private."
Moments later Tsuna and Bianchi were in the attic. "So, Bianchi, what did you want to talk about?" Bianchi's lips pursed together. "Haru." Inwardly, Tsuna groaned. He had been at least half expecting Bianchi to talk about her. "You don't get it, do you?" Tsuna looked at her. "What?" Bianchi sighed. "I expected that much. Boys don't understand very well."
"Understand what? I don't get what you're talking about!" Bianchi's eyes flashed- and they only flashed with that determination when she was going to talk about her favorite subject. "Love! That is what boys like you will never understand! Can't you see? How much Haru feels for you?"
Tsuna sighed. "I know she likes me a lot." Bianchi shook her head. "Not even close, Tsuna. If your eyes were open instead of chasing something you shouldn't be, you'd see how pure her love is." Love? I don't get it...I really don't get it. "Ever since you hurt her, can't you see? How distraught she is? Wake up already, Tsuna!"
Tsuna looked down. "I know she likes me alot. I understand that much. But, love me? That's...not possible. I'm not someone with charisma or charm or brains. She should like someone else. Not someone like me." Bianchi nodded. "I agree with what you said, she should be chasing someone else-" A vein appeared on Tsuna's forehead. Somehow when people say that, that pisses me off!
"But she's chosen you." Tsuna shrugged. "She's one of my closest friends. I can't see her that way!" Bianchi frowned. "Then what about Kyoko? Why can't you like Haru? What's wrong with that?" "Kyoko is different! Haru-I won't be able to see her that way. We're too different from each other." Bianchi tried a different approach. "Then answer this, Tsuna. Why Kyoko?"
"She's like the sun. She gives off light, she's so gentle and warm. She's always been smiling at me." "Haru also smiles at you. I can see your love for Kyoko is strong, but Haru's love for you is stronger. You'll see, one day."
Bianchi walked down the steps, back down to the dining room where Haru and Tsuna's mother were. Leaving Tsuna alone to think about what she had said.
"So, I've been thinking lately. Tsuna-san's really depressed about Kyoko. I should support him, and try to cheer him up!" Nana sighed. "But what about you, Haru-chan?" Haru looked at the table with a bitter smile on her face. "It doesn't matter. Haru will give her all and energy to Tsuna-san so his regular smile comes back!"
"But-"
"Hello!" Haru and Nana turned around, seeing Gokudera and Yamamoto. "Is it okay if we go up to Tsuna's room?" Nana odded, a grin on her face. "Of course! No problem at all, go ahead." When they left, Nana's worried expression came back. "Haru-chan...Is there anything I can do?"
Haru shook her head. "Nothing, Nana-san. I'll be fine. Haru thinks she'll be able to give up soon. After all, if I spend time now moping around that won't be very good, will it?" Tsuna's mother could see that Haru really didn't want to talk about it, so she dropped the subject.
"Alright, Haru-chan. Do you mind bringing some cake and tea up to the boys?"
"You heard what Juudaime's mother was talking about with Haru, right?" Yamamoto nodded. "Yea, but I have a feeling we shouldn't have heard anything. It feels wrong." Gokudera shrugged. "Do what you want. I'm supporting the Tenth." Yamamoto laughed. "Even when you say that, we have to help out Haru. After all she's part of our Family."
There was a knock on the door. "Haru's coming in right now." And the door opened, revealing Haru with a tray of little cakes, teacups and a teapot full of milk tea with honey. Yamamoto, who's natural nature was to smile and help out people, immediatley took the tray from her and placed it on the table.
"Thank you, Yamamoto-san." Yamamoto laughed. "Nah, nah it was no problem. And don't add the san to my name, ne? It makes it sound like we're not friends!" Haru couldn't help but giggle. "Hai, Yamamoto-kun!" Haru kneeled, and poured the tea into the fragile cups. "Here you go, Yamamoto-kun!" "Thank you," Yamamoto said before drinking. "Gokudera-san, here." Gokudera grudgingly took the cup before muttering , 'Thank you.'
The room was silent for a slight tensed moment before Yamamoto spoke. "Ne, Haru. Are you okay?" Haru laughed again, but this time it sounded more forced. "I'm lively and living! Of course I-" "You know what he's talking about, stupid woman." Haru's mouth twisted into a thin line. "I'm still a bit dissapointed. But, that can't be helped. Since Kyoko-chan's pretty amazing. Haru is sure...Haru is sure that she'll be able to get past this obstacle!"
A vein appeared on Gokudera's forehead. "Are you calling Juudaime an obstacle? How dare you!" Haru looked at him, the anger in her eyes matching the passion in his. " No I'm not! I'm saying, I'm trying to say that...Heartbreak is something everyone will probably have to face. And I know I'll be able to get over the pain. Haru won't be selfish anymore! Haru will stand up on her own two feet! And if I'm lucky...one day..." Haru trailed off. But in Gokudera's and Yamamoto's minds, they knew what she was going to say.
And if I'm lucky, one day Tsuna-san might like me back too.
Tsuna sighed, rumpling his hair. "Geez, why'd Bianchi say that to me? I mean, I did a pretty bad thing to Haru...but..."
Tsuna looked around the attic, when he noticed a rather strange looking object. It was a green vase, but yet...somehow, it felt like it was-
"Ciassou!"
Tsuna sweatdropped. "Reborn! What are you doing here? And why a vase?" Reborn, the great Arcobaleno, probably the greatest hitman of all time was cosplaying in a vase with a smirk on his face. "I heard you and Bianchi talking." Tsuna groaned. "Why?" "Because I'm a hitman." "Don't say that! That's not an answer either!"
Reborn's smirk faded, as his face took on a serious expression. "Tsuna, how do you feel about Kyoko?" Tsuna closed his eyes. "You already know, Reborn. Kyoko is like my" "Sunshine." Reborn finished. He's still a kid, Reborn thought to himself with amusement. "And Haru's just a friend! What's so good about me anyways? I don't get good test grades, I'm not attractive at all-"
"You trip up the stairs. You can't deny a request from someone- ever. You always get zero percent on your tests. Your food is always stolen by that annoying cow and I-pin who are five-year olds, you-" Veins appeared on Tsuna's forehead. "Hey! Stop criticizing me, Reborn! I already know that!" Reborn smiled. "But you are the Vongola Boss, so that at least has to count for something." Tsuna sighed. "I told you- I'm not going to be a mafia boss." Reborn sighed. "You're so stubborn. You fought against the Varia for the position as boss. You fought against the Milliefore. You accepted the rings. You basically embraced the fact of your inheritance as Vongola the Tenth, Juudaime,and as boss of one of the most richest and powerful mafia families."
"Yeah but-" "Tsuna." Reborn said, interrupting him. "If I say Haru what would you think of?" Tsuna thought for a minute and then spoke. "Haru of course." Reborn nodded. "Then when I say Haru's name, what comes to your ind?" Tsuna closed his eyes, and then opened them. "I think about how she always shows up. How she's always full of energy. How crazy- but in a good way she can be sometimes. The fact that she supports me, the fact that she's in my Family, and how-" Tsuna looked down. "How she said she was going to be a mafia boss's wife."
"Then what about Kyoko?" "Kyoko? I've said this too many times already! Well, I see the sun, shining brightly. Like a light guiding me. I think of her smile, how kind she was to me even though I was a loser. How happy it makes me that I was able to protect her at least once, and that she's part of my Family. And...how she's dating Yoru."
The Arcobaleno was quiet for a minute. "You know Bianchi considers love to be an important thing. You wanted to know why she kept on lecturing you, right?" Tsuna nodded, a bit confused. "Yeah." "Love is different for guys. And love is different, especially for young maidens. Especially like Haru."
"Haru's a young girl, but don't understimate that. She's a pure girl who means what she says. Haru isn't the same type of pure like Kyoko. Since you're still dumb I'll have to simplify this...Haru's 'love' for you is so pure, it'd be even warmer than the light you feel whenever you see Kyoko. A young girl's heart is hard to understand, for no good people like you. But since I'm your tutor, you'll be able to understand one day."
"So the way Haru feels for me...is even warmer than the light I feel when I say Kyoko? Wait- how do you know about this in the first place?" "I'm a hitman. Plus, Bianchi and Mama told me." Tsuna stood up. "Where are you going?" Reborn asked. "To my room. I want to sleep a bit." After Tsuna's footsteps quieted, Reborn spoke. "You can come out now, Bianchi." The slender Poison Scorpion had never left the attic. She had stayed, hidden in the shadows listening to Reborn and Tsuna's talk.
"What do you think, Bianchi?" "He has a long way to go before he can understand love." Reborn smiled in the darkness. "He still has to improve, much much more. Now then, let's go eat dinner. Mama's making her special omelet today."
"Are you really going to give up on him?" Yamamoto asked. Haru looked at the floor. "Haru's still not sure." "Then what gibberish are you talking about, you stupid woman!" "Stupid woman?" Gokudera's eyes flickered with anger. "You say you love Juudaime so much, but you're ready to give up on him the moment you were rejected?" Haru and Yamamoto looked at Gokudera, shocked.
"So are you?" "Eh?" "Are you really going to give up on Juudaime?" "That's right...I've been chasing after him so long, so why am I stopping? I can't give up, I just can't..."
Haru was silent and Yamamoto looked at her in concern.
"Haru? You okay?" Haru pumped a fist into the air with a yell. "I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP!" Yamamoto smiled. "I don't really get all this stuff about love, but I'm supporting you." Gokudera, however seemed to be boiling with rage. "You stupid woman! You hypocrite! You say all that and now you-"
Haru gave him a radiant smile. So radiant it reminded him of someone he had met in Italy three years ago. "You're annoying, Gokudera-san. But thank you. Thank you very much." Gokudera scoffed. "I didn't do anything." The door opened. Tsuna poked his head into the room. "I heard someone yelling-"
Haru whipped around. "TSUNA-SAN!" Tsuna took a double-take. "Haru?" "TSUNA-SAN! I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE UP!" "Huh?" While Haru was yelling while Tsuna looked on confused, Yamamoto whispered to Gokudera, "You really cared, didn't you?" Gokudera looked at him. "I don't know what you're talking about. I got sick of that idiot rambling, that's all." Yamamoto grinned.
Even though Gokudera had acted as if he didn't give a mind's worth about Haru and Tsuna, he had been worried about Haru's little depression bout and Tsuna's rejection by the Kyoko girl. And Yamamoto, who understood people and read them like a book at some times, knew how much he cared and worried.
(Meanwhile, in the kitchen.)
Reborn had a white mug in his hand, drinking his favorite espresso.
I didn't tell Tsuna- but Haru is even purer, stronger than Kyoko is. He'll be able to find out one day. Young girls' hearts are always a bit different when in love. Heh, but Haru's beyond that.
And he drank at the espresso with a little grin on his face the whole time.
