Summary: She disappeared from their sight the day after they graduated High School. Five years later, she appeared at one of the Vongola Function Parties as the Boss of the Rose Noire Family. Was she still the Haru that they knew? TsunaxHaru

They were all gathered together in the conference room at the Vongola Mansion by eleven in the evening. In usual mafia meetings like this, there were supposed to be heated arguments, gun shots all around and literal chaos. But that was not happening in this meeting. Tsuna and Haru sat on both ends as they were their respective mafia bosses, while their Guardians at whichever side was nearest to their boss.
"Who is this Andre that one of your subordinates were talking about, Miura-san?" Tsuna asked as he leaned towards the table. He was feeling quite conscious about himself since there was another family before him. But then, he had to stay focused and not feel self-conscious at all. It wasn't right if the other family would misinterpret whatever he was doing or thinking.
"Andre was another one of the subordinates of the previous boss of the Rose Noire Famiglia. He's currently the boss of the Martinio Famiglia, although I am not sure if you are knowledgeable of this famiglia. They defected from the famiglia after some power struggle. And apparently, they hold such a great grudge against us." Haru said as she hesitated for a moment. She was a bit hesitant if she should completely give out the full details. She wasn't sure if it was fine and okay.
"The Martinio Famiglia is a mafia family that's an enemy of the Vongola, which is probably why they decided to attack us. Thus, you don't have to think that your family brought this problem towards us." Tsuna reassured Haru as Haru smiled and nodded.
"I see." She simply replied, but she felt some relief. Although it was quite a problem that the Martinio Famiglia was against the Vongola, but at least the Rose Noire Famiglia is not part of that dispute. They had separate issues with the Martinio Famiglia.
"Why don't you join together in bringing the Martinio Famiglia down?" Reborn asked as everybody looked at him.
"What are you saying, Reborn?" Tsuna asked as he swallowed while Reborn frowned at him. Or so his Hyper Intuition tells him that Reborn had indeed frowned at him. "Well, that might be a problem to the Rose Noire Famiglia."
"I don't see it as a problem for both families to collaborate in bringing down the Martinio Famiglia." Reborn said as Gokudera replied, "But, Reborn-san! The Rose Noire Famiglia isn't that strong compared to the Vongola! They might bring down the Vongola."
"Excuse me, Vongola Underboss. Our Famiglia is the number one mafia group in France and in Northern Europe." Vio growled in return as Gokudera rolled his eyes, "But you aren't that strong compared to the Vongola."
"You might as well want to check that out. I am ready to take you on." Vio said as her spear appeared out of the blue in her hands.
"Prepare to die, Violetta Ricci." Gokudera said as he took out his dynamites.
"The two of you stop it! Vio! Gokudera-san. Stop it." Haru's voice roared out as Vio stopped and went back to her place. "I don't want the two of you to bicker if we are going to collaborate with one another."
"Miura-san is right. If we are going to collaborate with one another, then we must respect each other. Not fight with one another." Tsuna said as Gokudera put off his dynamites and sat down.
"I suggest that we group ourselves and we assign these groups into different bases of the Vongola and Rose Noire around the world." Tsuna said as he looked at Haru, who nodded and agreed with his suggestion.
"I see no problem with that, Sawada-san. It is best if we do so as we cannot afford to lose the other bases." Haru said as the others simply listened at what they said.
"But, won't our power be lowered down if that is the case?" Mukuro asked as the others nodded at what the Mist Guardian asked.
"But theirs will, too." Haru replied as she continued, "I believe we must team up to not lose at all. Fuuta can suggest to us whatever team up might suit for each other. But is Fuuta here in Italy?"
"Ah. I heard Fuuta went to another country." Lambo said as Tsuna cut him off, "No. He's here already at Italy. I just know."
A knock on the door interrupted them as Futa went inside the room. The Hyper Intuition was really useful at times like this.
"Good evening, Tsuna-nii. Ah. I'm sorry to have interrupted your discussion. I will come back again tomorrow." Fuuta said as he was about to exit when Tsuna called him, "Fuuta-kun. You come here first. We need your opinion on something."
"Is that so? Okay then." Fuuta went near them as he noticed Haru, "Haru-nee. How? What? Why?" He asked as the Rose Noire Guardians looked at Haru who bit her lower lip.
"I'll explain later, Fuuta-kun. Just help us out first." Haru said as she continued, "We wanted to hear your opinion on which Guardian should pair up with each other to have a higher chance of winning."
"Okay. Well then, I'll try to consult the Ranking Planet then." Fuuta said as he took out his laptop and once again, gravity disappeared in the area and all of them were floating.
"What the hell! What's happening?" Antoinette cursed as she floated in the air while Lizzy cried, "B-Boss!"
"This seems to be a natural occurrence at the Vongola since they aren't shocked or something..." Antoinette said as Yamamoto nodded and chuckled, "Apparently, Fuuta does this at times. But you'll get used to it."
Antoinette blushed in return as she looked away from the Rain Guardian. "I-Is that so? Then, no wonder..." She mumbled.
"The best pairings for the Vongola and Rose Noire Famiglia are: Sasagawa Ryohei and K, Yamamoto Takeshi and Antoinette, Lambo and Lizzy, Hibari Kyoya and Tan Li-Chen, Mukuro Rokudo and Rico, Gokudera Hayato and Violetta, then Haru-nee and Tsuna-nii." Fuuta declared as there were mumblings around the room.
"I'm bound to get killed..." Tan Li-Chen said as she had a horrified expression on her face. She knew that she was bound to be killed, especially with Hibari Kyoya as her supposed partner for the job. She looked left and right as she looked for her partner. Only to find an empty seat. Great.
"I'll be under your care then, Antoinette-chan." Yamamoto gave a smile as Antoinette blushed but brushed it off, "Ah sure. Me too."
"Let's be the best team to the extreme, K!" Ryohei said as K chuckled and said, "Let's do this then!"
"Kufufufu, shall we destroy them as soon as possible?" Mukuro said as Rico grumbled, "Oh well. At least, girls exist everywhere..."
"WHY AM I GOING TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE JUDAIME?" Gokudera said as Vio rolled her eyes and said, "Be mature, Hayato. You haven't changed since we were children."
"Eh? What do you mean, Vio-san?" Tsuna asked as Gokudera frowned but Vio replied, "We've known each other since we were children, Vongola 10th. I have Italian roots."
"Then, I see no problem to your team up with each other then." Tsuna said as he gave a smile, wherein Gokudera wasn't able to say no anymore. Gokudera simply sighed in defeat and nodded at Vio, who returned the gesture.
"Perhaps, we can have each of the teams in each continent in the world?" Haru suggested as Tsuna nodded in return.
"My sentiments exactly, Miura-san. I suggest that we can have the New York HQ to Yamamoto-san and Antoinette-san." Tsuna replied as Yamamoto and Antoinette nodded in agreement.
"OSSU." They chorused as Haru continued, "I think it is best if we leave the Rose Noire Paris HQ of to Vio and Gokudera-san, if it is fine with you, Sawada-san?"
"The Paris HQ will be under us? But shouldn't it be you, Boss?" Vio asked as she was dumbfounded on what her boss had just suggested. "No, you should stay at the Paris HQ. The Underboss must stay there if the Boss isn't at the Main HQ." Haru said as Vio was deep in thought. Perhaps, her boss was planning to stay at the Vongola Italy HQ then, if that was the case.
"The Vongola Cairo HQ will be under Mukuro-san and Rico-san, if you have no problems with it?" Tsuna asked as Rico gave a smirk and replied, "At least, there will be sexy Egyptian women in belly-dancing outfits. Ohohoho~"
"Shut up, Rico! Can you please be serious at this meeting?" Sachiko grumbled as she glared at Rico who gave another grin, "Jealous then, Sachi?"
"WHY YOU-" "Sachiko. Rico." Haru called their attentions as they immediately stopped their bicker. Haru felt embarrassed underneath her strict composure with her Secretary and her Guardian. Why were the two bickering with each other in front of the Vongola? She could just go underneath the earth's surface and bury herself in shame.
"Well then, I'll have Tan Li-Chen and Hibari-san stay at the Rose Noire HQ. I know that the Vongola also has their own HQ at China. So, they can stay at the two different HQs', whichever they prefer, as long as they stay in China." Haru said as Tan Li-Chen grinned. Boy, she was going back to home and no one, not even Vio, could stop her from going home. She chuckled until she realized that she was going with Hibari Kyoya. What was with that guy always planning to kill her or something? And where was he again?
"I see no problems with that, Miura-san." Tsuna said as he gave a smile and leaned on the table, "Then, will Onii-san and K-san stay at the Australian HQ? I hope you'll be fine with that idea?" He asked as K perked up and nodded.
"OF COURSE TO THE EXTREME, SAWADA!" Ryohei said as he pushed his fists into the air. This time, he was very enthusiastic about something. He was going to see his younger sister again. Kyoko couldn't come to the Vongola Party and thus, he was very excited to see her again.
"Then, Lambo and Lizzy can stay at the Vongola Italy HQ then?" Tsuna asked as the others perked up. Lambo, the very lazy and occasionally useless Lambo, was going to be in-charge of the Italy HQ? "Sure, Vongola. I see no problem with that." Lambo replied with a grin while the others widened their eyes on the easy acceptance of the Lightning Guardian.
"I-I-I'll try my best not to be of b-bother to you, Lambo-san." Lizzy stuttered as she had a very flustered look on her face. She was really nervous. She could stand being in the center of attention with the Rose Noire Famiglia, but when there were others, she would get flustered easily. Plus, it was the Vongola Famiglia before her! She hoped that she didn't make any mistakes this time.
"But, where will Sawada-san and the Boss stay?" Vio asked as Gokudera asked another question, "Are you perhaps planning to stay at the-"
"Yes. I'm planning to stay at the Japan HQ, that is if Miura-san has no problems with my suggestion." Tsuna said as Haru's eyes widened on what Tsuna had said. She was surprised that she was going to have to go back to Japan after a few years. She never thought of going back to Japan at all. Though she didn't want to go back to Japan as a tainted person already, she couldn't say no to the Vongola Boss. She was just a boss of some mafia family, which wasn't on par or in any level with the Vongola Famiglia.
"I have no problem with it, Sawada-san." Haru replied with some hesitation as she continued on giving the smile that she has given to everybody eversince she became the Boss of the Rose Noire. The smile that had sent chills to Tsuna's backbone. Not in a threatening way, though. It just seemed fake. It wasn't real at all. But he knew that she couldn't deny his suggestion and so, he continued on pretending not to notice it.
"Well then, believe in yourselves, comrades. If we do not cooperate with one another, our extreme efforts in this collaboration will end up to pieces. Think about the people you want to protect by winning over the Martinio Famiglia. Just think about the negative happenings that will happen if the Martinio Famiglia will win over us. It is simple as that. We do not want other people to get hurt. So, let us do this and work together." Tsuna said as the others grew inspired with his little speech.
He had inspired and drew the hearts of all the people present at the room, while Reborn had just smirked on the job that his student was doing. He couldn't believe that this was the Dame-Tsuna of the past. The Dame-Tsuna of the past couldn't have done this and instead, would have just quivered and shook in fear while stumbling in front of everybody. But this was the Vongola Tenth that he had raised for years.
Haru stood in awe upon witnessing the events that happened around her. Her 'Tsuna-san' had changed, indeed. He wasn't the 'Tsuna-san' who would be really clumsy and who would just fall out all of a sudden without even stepping or bumping into something. He had become the Vongola Tenth. Fortunately, he was still the 'Tsuna-san' who had earned the respect and love of his subordinates all over the years and until now. He had become someone that everybody in the mafia world had recognized. The last time she was him, he was still the same Tsuna-san as ever, but now, he seemed so distant. She sighed.
That was what she got for leaving them behind in Japan for a couple of years, without even informing them on where she was going or which path she was headed to. She just believed that someday they would meet each other again. And true, indeed they had met once again.
