Chapter 10-Plan: Get Haru and Tsuna Together!
"So, what's this meeting about?" Yamamoto asked. Kyoko beamed at the circle of people around her. "You know Haru-chan and Tsuna-kun, right?" Some of them nodded and smiled. Kyoko cleared her throat.
"Well…um…Haru really likes Tsuna-kun-"
"TO THE EXTREME!"
"SHUT UP, TURF HEAD! LISTEN UP!"
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, YOU A-"
"Onii-chan! Anyways, Tsuna-kun finally realized that he likes Haru-chan back…but he won't accept it…And-"
"SAWADA! WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU? COME OUT HERE AND JOIN THE BOXING CLUB!"
"SHUT UP, TURF HEAD!"
"YOU WANNA GO, OCTUPUS HEAD?"
"SURE, I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY!"
"Now, now…calm down. What were you saying before?" Yamamoto said quickly. Kyoko gave him a grateful smile. "I want to make Tsuna-kun jealous…" She mumbled.
Gokudera blinked. "You want to make Juudaime jealous?" Kyoko nodded. "Yeah, because…well, I want to know if he really likes her or not…It's for their happiness!" Yamamoto chuckled. "I don't get it," he began to say. "But I'll help out."
Gokudera frowned. "It's for Juudaime's sake, so I'll cooperate." He decided. Kyoko beamed at the two Guardians. "Thank you," she chirped. The others quickly agreed to help, and Kyoko took a deep breath.
"We need a guy to make Tsuna-kun jealous."
Fuuta blinked.
"You're going to make Tsuna-nii jealous?" He repeated, sounding incredulous. Kyoko nodded. "Yup! So…anyone want to volunteer?"
Gokudera huffed. "I'm not." Ryohei gave Kyoko a rueful smile. "Sorry Kyoko. But I don't want Hana to misunderstand or anything." He admitted. Kyoko smiled back. "It's fine, onii-chan," she reassured. "I'm game for it," Yamamoto cheered.
Gokudera's eyes widened. "You're going to do it? Ha!"
Kyoko gave a bow of thanks. "Thanks, Yamamoto-kun. It really means a lot to me."
"No need to say thanks, it's no problem!"
Yamamoto grinned. "So it'll just be me then?" Kyoko nodded. "Yes…Try to make Tsuna-kun jealous…see how he reacts, please
Kyoko continued on. "Now, we'll have to do this very carefully. I think…"

"Tsuna-san…Run!"
Tsuna nearly jumped out of his seat and turned to Haru. She was tossing and turning. Haru was dreaming of a nightmare about him.
Tsuna hesitantly reached out and patted her hand. At his touch, Haru seemed to relax a bit. "Please get better," Tsuna mumbled.
"Tsu-Tsuna-san?"
Tsuna's eyes widened with happiness. "Haru?" He whispered. Haru's eye opened, and Tsuna leaned forward. "Are you okay, Haru? How-How many fingers am I holding?"
Haru blinked and let out a groan. "T-Three. What happened to Haru? I feel like I've been hit by a car or something."
"You were."
"Really?" Tsuna's heart lurched. Haru's voice sounded so weak…
"I'm fine, Tsuna-san. Don't worry. You know me! I'll be up and about in on time." Haru reassured. Tsuna frowned. "It's not okay," he said firmly. "You got hurt because of me. That's…"
"Hey, Tsuna! Oh! Haru! You're okay? Thank goodness. Everyone was really worried!"
Tsuna and Haru turned to see Yamamoto bounding towards them. "Haru…you're alright…" He murmured. Haru stifled a groan, and gave him a tiny smile. "Yamamoto-san," she mumbled. Without warning, Yamamoto stretched over and grasped Haru's hand.
Haru let out a tiny squeak while Tsuna felt something twist in his stomach.
"You…I don't want to see you hurt, you know. You're very precious to us. Very precious to me." Yamamoto declared. Haru flushed, and Tsuna felt the twist deepen.
"Y-Yamamoto-san?"
"That's why-as soon as you get better, hang out with me, okay? Just you and me. We'll play some baseball and other stuff." Yamamoto grinned. Tsuna felt as if he was falling…Why?
Haru stammered something incoherent and mumbled, "Sure." Yamamoto laughed. "Okay, then. I'll come to visit again. Bye, Haru! Oh, bye Tsuna!" And like that, Yamamoto disappeared through the door. Haru pressed a hand to her cheek.
"Was I confessed to…?"
Tsuna quickly laughed. "Oh, you know Yamamoto-kun. His only love is baseball, y-you know?" Haru giggled. "It felt like I was being asked out…Haru's heart is fluttering-fluttering!" She murmured. Tsuna's lip set into a firm line.
It hurt. He was hurting everywhere. But why? He wasn't fighting. Was it perhaps that…?
"Tsuna-san? What's wrong?" Haru asked, cutting through his thoughts. Tsuna shook his head. "Nothing's wrong! Nothing-Nothing's wrong!" Haru sighed. "I can obviously see that you're not, Tsuna-san. Cheer up." She said.
Tsuna managed a tiny smile. "Yeah. You're okay…You are okay, right?" Haru smiled. "I'm fine. I'm alive, aren't I?" She giggled. Tsuna cleared his throat.
"Listen, Haru. Are you really going to…um…"
And so began the awkward mumbling….
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
"Wow you were great, Yamamoto!"
Yamamoto chuckled. "Was I?" He asked. Gokudera sighed. "You sure were, baseball idiot. Saying that she was precious to you and all…" His voice trailed away. Yamamoto chuckled. "Well, she is precious to us! I just wanted to remind her how precious she is to all of us."
Gokudera rolled his eyes, and then turned to Kyoko. "So I'll be going up next, right?" He questioned. Kyoko nodded. Yamamoto chuckled. "I'm still wondering how you got roped into this, Gokudera. I thought you weren't going to volunteer for this!"
Gokudera snarled. "Shut up! It's just that…it's for Juudaime's happiness," he blustered. Yamamoto gestured to the door and smiled. "Well, aren't you going to go?"
Gokudera huffed. "I'm going," he muttered. Kyoko smiled. "Thanks, Gokudera-kun."
"Tch."
And with that, Gokudera swung the door open and headed inside.
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
"You….Yamamoto…"
"Tsuna-san, are you okay? You don't look so good…Maybe you should go home and rest," Haru suggested. Tsuna vigorously shook his head. What was wrong with him? "I'm okay," Tsuna whispered, feeling nervous. Then with a deep breath, he gathered up his courage.
"Haru, I don't want you to-"
"JUUDAIME!"
Tsuna jumped while Haru blinked at the sound of the new voice. Tsuna whipped around, frustrated. He had been so close, worked up his courage and had his efforts practically blown away! "Oh, Gokudera-kun," Tsuna said, surprised.
Gokudera's eyes flitted from Tsuna to Haru, and he straightened his shoulders. "Stupid-no…Haru?" He asked. Haru blinked. "What is it, Gokudera-san?" She asked. Gokudera swallowed and mumbled, "When you're better do you want to go somewhere?" Haru blinked. She and Gokudera were always fighting, why did he want to spend time with her? Maybe…he was trying to be friendly!
Haru beamed and nodded. "Sure!" she chirped. Tsuna felt his hopes plummet down the drain. Just why did he care so much anyways? That was right; the one he liked was Kyoko, not Haru…right? Tsuna frowned and stifled a sigh.
"Anyways, I have to run! Goodbye, Juudaime! B-Bye, Haru! Feel better!"
And with that, Gokudera dashed out with a streak of red across his cheeks. When he went outside, Yamamoto laughed. "Oh look at you, you're blushing!" Yamamoto pointed out. Gokudera turned away. "Shut up, baseball nut," he muttered. Kyoko beamed at Gokudera's back and giggled.
"Thanks, Gokudera-kun."
Gokudera sighed and put on a smile. "Let's just hope the plan's going to work," he said.
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
"You were saying, Tsuna-san? About me not going to-nghh." Tsuna bent over, his eyebrows knitted together. "Haru, what's wrong?" He asked. Haru yawned. "I'm feeling a little…Haru's going to…nap now."
Soon enough, Haru fell asleep. Her deep breathing seemed to soothe Tsuna, and he didn't even know why. Tsuna fell into deep thought, his eyebrows furring as he did. Since when did Yamamoto and Gokudera have any romantic interest in Haru?
Well…Haru trusted Yamamoto a great deal…perhaps that had made Yamamoto like her. After all, Haru confided in him with almost everything. And Gokudera? Well….maybe whenever they fought, that was a way for him to express his love for her. Tsuna's mouth unconsciously tightened into a firm line.
Then he groaned. Since when did he care so much? Che, Haru could date anyone who she wanted! Tsuna ran a hand through his hair, cast a glance at Haru and then left.
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
When Tsuna fell asleep, for once he didn't dream of golden eyes. His dreams consisted of beautiful golden ones while switching to sparkling chocolate brown ones .When he woke up, he found himself feeling very, very confused.
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
"Tsuna-san! You've come to visit again!" Haru chirped happily. Tsuna gave her a grin, and sat in the chair. "Well, I should. Since it's my fault you're like this anyways," he said. Haru waved her hand at him. "It was no problem, Tsuna-san. I'd do it again if I could." Tsuna vigorously shook his head.
"No, don't." He begged. Haru winked at him. "Kidding, Tsuna-san." Tsuna shook his head in disbelief, and Haru managed a tiny giggle. "Yamamoto-san and Gokudera-san were here earlier," Haru sighed contentedly. Tsuna raised an eyebrow. "Yamamoto and Gokudera-kun were?" He asked. Haru nodded blissfully. "Kyoko-chan too!"
Tsuna relaxed. "Oh." He said. Haru had a thoughtful look on her face. "But you know, I think they're planning something They kept whispering to each other…I couldn't hear them very well, but I think they mentioned your na-"
"How are you, Haru-chan?"
Haru turned and smiled. "Oh, Shamal-san!" She greeted. Shamal winked at her, and looked at Tsuna. "Oh, Tsuna. You'll have to leave for a little while-"
"Why?"
"Because I'm going to check up on her. We have to make sure she's recovering, don't we?" Tsuna nodded, and gave Haru a little wave. "Well, see you later Haru." Haru returned the wave with one of her own. "Bye, Tsuna-san!" Tsuna smiled, and then looked at Shamal. "If you do anything to her…" he warned quietly. Shamal laughed well naturedly and clapped him on the back.
"I'll think about it," Shamal winked. Tsuna let out a sigh of relief. He could leave without worrying for Haru's sake.
"Well, bye." Tsuna said finally. And out he went. Haru leaned back against the pillows that were propping her up, and Shamal studied her. "You still love him, don't you?" He asked. After a long time, Haru finally answered.
"Haru always will."
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
"Oi, Shamal! What took you so long? We had to delay the meeting for you!"
Shamal cast an irritated look at his former pupil. "Tsuna almost found out. I overheard Haru telling him about you three talking about some plan- don't you know how to be a bit more secretive?" He placed a hand to his forehead.
Kyoko looked troubled. "Oh, sorry Shamal-san. I'll make sure to be more careful in the future." She apologized. Yamamoto promptly followed suit. "Yeah, our bad. We definitely won't do it again." He added. Gokudera sniffed. "Well, we can't have Juudaime find out, so I guess we should take heed of your warning," he conceded.
Shamal grinned. "Apologies accepted. Now, it seems to me that Tsuna' s getting a bit jealous." He said smoothly. Gokudera blinked. "Already?" The plan was working that fast? Gokudera cast Kyoko a sidelong glance. It looked like Sasagawa's plan was working out after all.
"Really? Tsuna was acting jealous? How?" Yamamoto inquired. Gokudera glared at him. "Of course you wouldn't understand something as simple as this- your head's up in the clouds thinking about baseball!" He scolded. Yamamoto held out his hand in self-defense while grinning all the while.
"But how is Haru-nee?" Fuuta asked anxiously. Shamal looked downwards. "Oh, she's recovering. But you can't expect her to be back on her feet immediately, you know." He warned. Gokudera snarled. "We know that, you pervy old man!" He snapped. Ryohei punched the table.
"IS THAT HOW YOU SHOULD SHOW RESPECT TO YOUR ELDERS?" He snapped. Gokudera whirled around.
"DON'T YOU START TOO!"
"Why are you calling him pervy anyways?" Ryohei wondered. Gokudera shuddered. "Turf head, you really don't want to know." Gokudera rasped. Ryohei shrugged. "Fine by me to the extreme!" He shouted.
"But don't you think you should just let those two go at their own pace?"
All of them turned to Reborn, who had been staying silent throughout both meetings. "But I don't think Tsuna-kun will make a first move…I think he likes someone else besides Haru right now," Kyoko confessed. A troubled look appeared on her face.
Yamamoto, Gokudera, Reborn and Shamal all cast sharp glances towards Kyoko. They all knew that Tsuna had originally first liked Kyoko. "W-Well, you never know!" Yamamoto said hastily. Kyoko nodded, brimming with confidence again. "Oh, you're right!" She chirped.
Gokudera rolled his eyes. Although the Sasagawa girl had been clever enough to come up with a plan to get Juudaime and Haru together, she couldn't even notice that she was the girl that Juudaime liked. Maybe even now, he still liked her. Was this…
"Well it's true that Tsuna will never think of making a first move since he's Dame-Tsuna after all, but he'll probably wake up sooner of later. Probably."
Fuuta spoke up. "Should I talk to the Ranking Star and find out how Tsuna-nii feels?" He asked. Reborn shook his head. "Don't use your ability for something as trivial as this." Reborn instructed. Fuuta vigorously nodded.
"Alright."
"Anyways, I think it's off at a pretty good pace…Should we see how Tsuna-kun and Haru-chan will act for now?" Kyoko suggested. Yamamoto grinned. "Sure, I've got no problem with that." He said. Gokudera shrugged. "It doesn't matter with me." He muttered.
"I'm fine with it!" Fuuta murmured. Shamal winked. "Same here too, Kyoko-chan." He purred. Reborn didn't react. "It doesn't bother me," he said casually before falling asleep. "I AGREE TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei boomed.
Kyoko smiled, getting up. "Okay, since we've come to a decision, we should be fine now, right?" She asked. Everyone nodded. "Where are you going, Kyoko-nee? You sure are in a rush," Fuuta commented. Kyoko blushed.
"I'm going on a date with Yoru-he has something important to tell me."
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
"Yoru-what's wrong? You don't look so good." Kyoko said worriedly. Yoru put on a small smile, and looked at the sky.
"To tell you the truth, I've been keeping something from you," Yoru started quietly. Kyoko blinked. "You have?" She asked. Yoru nodded. "I shouldn't have…but the truth is…"
Kyoko felt something pierce her heart. She didn't know what he was going to say, but she felt something. She felt something was going to go very wrong.
"I haven't been a very good boyfriend to you," Yoru burst out. Kyoko stared at him with pleading eyes. "What do you mean, Yoru-kun?" She asked quietly.
"Let's…Let's break up."
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
END~
Woah, it's not looking good for Kyoko and Yoru! Is this the end? What will happen to Tsuna and Haru? Will a love triangle form? A love square? Wait- does that even exist? Who knows! Stay tuned for more~

Thank you to all of you for taking your time to review~ It really gives me a lot of inspiration! Now all I have to do is work on the next chapter T_T
(By the way, some of you might've noticed that the title in the table of contents (sort of) and the title for this chapter is different. Well the chapter for this is Plan: Get Haru and Tsuna Together! The title was cut off short when I tried to add it to the other chapters T_T)
