I heard thump, crack, and then a boom as I stood in front of the door to Tsuna's room. I turned and walked away. Coming back later seemed like a good idea.

Minutes later, the whole house started shaking, then stopped. I deemed it safe to go back and then opened the door to my brother's room. frowning at the wailing coming from inside. As I went in, Hana went out, and we nodded to each other as we passed.

"Tsu-kun, what's that noise?" I asked. "Oh, Haru-chan, you're here."

"Nee-chan! Help me!" begged Tsuna. "Neither me nor Haru-chan can get him to stop."

Lambo was curled up on the ground and wailing, with Haru fluttering around trying and failing to comfort him.

"There, there, Lambo-chan, I'll give you some candy if you stop crying!" she tried. Lambo ignored her. I sighed, and picked up the teen-minded child.

"Pathetic child," I began, shocking Haru and Tsuna with my harsh words, "If you don't stop crying, I'm going to dangle you out the window. And drop you. And then call Yamamoto over to play catch with you."

"Onee-san! That's not how you-" She cut herself off when Lambo stopped his sobbing. I patted his head.

"Good boy. Let's go get some ice-cream now, okay?"

"Okay," he sniffed, "Nee-san."

I jumped out of the window, leaving a dumbfounded Haru and Tsuna behind.

Yes, I know I swore to not interfere with the plot, but I really wasn't interested in hearing a child cry non-stop for a full week, and besides, it didn't really have much plot relevance.

This morning, Reborn had told us to go to the zoo. I was extremely reluctant, but Arthur was ecstatic, and who could say no to the green eyes under those massive eyebrows?

And that, my friends, is how I ended up here, with the scenery flashing past my peripheral vision and a lion in pursuit. I had lost Arthur ages ago, and hoped he had somehow found his way out of danger.

But now was no time to think about that. I needed to lose the carnivore, and fast. I didn't even know why it was chasing me.

The rest of the zoo visitors had already evacuated the premises, so at least there was no-one to get in my way. I would've taken out the animal, except that I had already started running, and really didn't feel like stopping any time soon. Hopefully, if I kept running, I'd run into Tsuna and co. and have Ryohei knock down the lion for me.

I jumped over a stone wall and into the enclosure, the lion close behind. Scrambling up the wall on the other side, I took a moment to catch my breath while the lion figured out a way to get over the high wall. Up ahead, I could thankfully see a fluffy haired brunet with his friends. Arthur was also there, to my relief. I ran towards them, calling out.

"Hey! Tsu-kun!" I waved. In that moment, my carnivorous pursuer finally got over the stone wall. I ran faster. "A little help here?"

Tsuna started panicking, but Ryohei stepped up and threw an extreme left hook at the lion, effectively knocking it unconscious. I started to slow down, but not fast enough, and crashed into Yamamoto, sending us both careening over the low wall of the exhibit behind him. Luckily, I managed to grab hold of the wall and snag the collar of his jacket at the last second. We both let out a sigh of relief.

"Nee-chan!" Tsuna raced over and grabbed onto my arm. I swung Yamamoto up and over the wall first, and he landed with an audible thump. Then I tumbled over the wall myself, collapsing on the ground. I groaned.

"Never. Again."

Haru's HaruHaru Interview!

Haru: The next interview will be with Onee-san, my future sister-in-law!

Onee-san: (Hell no. You're a nice girl and all, but just no. Shonen Ai for the win.)

Haru: Did you say something, Onee-san?

Onee-san: Just how lovely you look today, Haru-chan. Are those new hair clips?

Haru: Yes, I'm happy you noticed!

Onee-san: So what are you doing?

Haru: Haru's going around asking people about their profile! Let's start with the basics. Your birthday is on the October 12th, right?

Onee-san: Yep, and that makes me a Libra along with Tsu-kun and Reborn-kun.

Haru: What's your blood type?

Onee-san: Same as my mother's; O.

Haru: Hahi? You're not A like Tsuna-san?

Onee-san: No, he took more after our father, and I, our mother, apparently.

Haru: Ah, I see. It makes sense though. Onee-san is always so confident and self-determined!

Onee-san: Thank you.

Haru: Now, next question, what is your height and weight? Ah, you don't have to answer weight if you don't want to, of course!

Onee-san: No, it's fine. Hm... Last I checked, I think I was 166cm and at least 50kg.

Haru: Hahi! You're really tall! That's a whole 10cm taller than Haru and Tsuna-san!

Onee-san: I'm quite proud of it. I also aspire to grow taller. One day, I tell you, one day, I'll reach 170cm.

Haru: (*sweatdrop* I don't think that's possible...)

Onee-san: Hm? Did you say something?

Haru: No, nothing.

Onee-san: If you say so. Is the interview over now?

Haru: Yes, thank you for your time! Let's meet again in another interview if there's space!

Omake - Height

Right. Step under the thing, pull it down until it hits your head, then step out and check the reading. Easy enough.

I followed the steps and stepped out to check the reading, heart thumping. I squinted at the small numbers.

167cm.

Hell yeah.

I wish I was that tall.

Reaper Senpai: Nope. Maybe. Nah.

misminor: I'm half-planning for that to happen. She met Shoichi in Chapter 8.

Raven-V-Blackshade: Tsu-kun'll get better. I can try to extend my chapter length, but I doubt I'll succeed.

HikariNoTenshi-San: A moment of silence for Dino.
...
...
...
Okay, now we can get back to torturing him.
Just kidding.

Moka-girl: Thanks for your criticism.

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed. Tell me if there's anything you particularly want to see, or if you noticed something was off, or if you particularly liked something.

Review?
