"Haru-san! Sawada-san! It's nice to see you here already at the Paris HQ!" Violetta gave a smile as she went outside of the door and greeted the Vongola Boss and Rose Noire Boss personally. Haru and Tsuna nodded and smiled in return.
"I don't think I see Gokudera-san here. Is he doing something inside?" Tsuna asked as Vio nodded and replied, "I asked him to wait for the confirmation messages from the others. Last night, I asked them whether what time they were going to arrive here at the Paris HQ."
"I see. Well then, shall we go inside, Vio?" Haru asked as Vio paused for a moment. She felt some eerie presence. She felt chills on her spine. She felt weird for a moment, but she had to go on. It was probably her imagination.
"Stop." Gokudera said as he was standing at the doorstep while he frowned at the sight of them.
"Gokudera-san, why are you telling us to stop? Is there something wrong?" Tsuna asked as Gokudera didn't bat a wink.
"Where are Haru and the Judaime?" He asked as Vio raised an eyebrow. What was Hayato doing? Didn't Tsuna and Haru tell them at the conference call the other night that they were going to arrive here at Paris at the morning? Why was he acting this way?
"What are you saying, Gokudera-san? It's me, Miura Haru. Aren't I right, Vio?" Haru asked as Vio was unsure whether she was going to nod or not. Indeed, she felt weird with this Haru-san. The 'Haru-san' before them was not like her Boss. She was totally different out of context.
"Well then, if you can answer this question, I will let you through." Gokudera said as his eyes were shadowed with a lot of doubt. This wasn't the Haru that he knew. Well, the Haru from the present did change, but not entirely. He was sure of that.
"Okay. Go on. You can ask me any questions, Gokudera-san." Haru said as she gave a confident smile.
"Who was the Boss who you were referring to many years ago was to become your husband in the future?" Gokudera said as Vio's eyes widened. What was Gokudera asking? It was impossible for him to know this, especially since he just met the Rose Noire Boss now. And she was with him in Italy when they were children. But that was up until the time when he was fourteen. And that time was also part of her Boss' unknown past.
"Well, that's simple. It would be nobody but the person I was engaged to when I became part of the Rose Noire. Andre." Haru said as Gokudera's eyes widened. What did Haru meant by becoming engaged to the Martinio Famiglia Boss in the past? What was the meaning of this? But then, Gokudera did say that that was what she had wished many years ago when they were still in middle school.
"I see. Well then, how about you?" Gokudera referred to Tsuna who was just standing still at a side, "How did we meet?"
Tsuna gave a smile and replied, "It was simple. You were the son of a mafia family boss and I took you to become my subordinate. It was simple as that."
Gokudera smiled and gave a nod, "It really is you." He hugged Tsuna who hugged him in return, but he had instantly taken out his dynamites and had the Tsuna imposter exploded with his dynamites.
"I met the Judaime when I was challenging him whether he was fit to be the Tenth Boss of the Vongola. I challenged him into a fight, and yet despite me being his enemy, he had rescued me. And that was the start of my unwavering service to the Judaime." Gokudera said as he gave a glare towards the two imposters.
Vio took out her spear out of the blue and had hit it towards the Haru-imposter who was pierced by the blade and was instantly killed while Vio frowned. How could she not identify that the woman was not her Boss? She should have known. Shame on her for not recognizing her Boss. Was she this weak? She frowned. She had to train more.
"Oh. So you knew who the Boss I was referring to?" Gokudera asked as Vio shook her head. "Intuition, my friend. It was easy to recognize that the person with that Tsuna-imposter was also an imposter."
"Oh. But what if she were the real Haru?" Gokudera asked as Vio sighed, "Well, the engagement between Haru-san and Andre in the past was just forced. And if it were the real Haru, she could have blocked my attacks without getting hit."
"I see. I was a bit surprised when I heard that person say that there was an engagement between your Boss and the rival Famiglia's Boss." Gokudera said as Vio chuckled, "Do you think my Boss would love to get married to that sick man? She had to be engaged with him in the past in order to control his blood thirst and greed for power. But then, she broke it off just before they would get married."
"Eh? Really? Was it because of his blood thirst or greed for power that she couldn't take anymore?" Gokudera asked as Vio raised her shoulders.
"We have no idea. I don't think that would be the reason since that was the reason why she became engaged to him in the first place. She wanted to control it. Her control over these qualities of Andre was going well when she broke it off a day before they were going to get married." Vio replied.
Gokudera nodded as Vio turned to Gokudera. "So, were you just lying with your question earlier since you were depending on the Tsuna-imposter's answer?" She asked as Gokudera shook his head. "No. I do know the answer."
"Eh? But then you just met Haru-san now. She wasn't ashamed of her position as the boss of a mafia family, but she wouldn't brag it out as well." Vio said as Gokudera opened his mouth,
"I had just met the Rose Noire Famiglia Boss now, but I have met Miura Haru in the past already."
"What? What do you mean? How? But then again, I didn't know of my Boss' past before she went to Paris and become part of the Rose Noire Famiglia five years ago..." Vio said as a realization dawned upon her. No wonder Haru was familiar with the Vongola Guardians. She had already met them in the past. No wonder she would stiffen up whenever the Vongola Famiglia was mentioned. No wonder she had known Reborn, the top hitman of the Vongola.
Miura Haru was an acquaintance or perhaps, an ally of the Vongola Tenth's Family in the past. And then, another realization had come up to her.
"So, you mean the Boss that you were referring to was..."
"Yes. The Judaime. My Boss. Sawada Tsunayoshi." Gokudera replied as Vio's eyes widened on his reply. She was in utter shock. She couldn't believe it.
"What about me, Gokudera-kun?"
The two had turned their heads to see Tsuna and Haru who were at the gates of the Rose Noire Paris HQ.
"Judaime!" Gokudera called as he ran towards the other two, leaving Vio in the process. She was at deep thought. She was still startled by what Gokudera had told her. Perhaps, could it be the reason why-
"Vio!" Haru called as she waved towards her underboss, who waved back in return.
"Haru-san!" She called back. Oh well. Regardless of her Boss' past, Vio would keep on following and stay loyal towards Haru. She would never betray her no matter what happened. She was the Fire that would strike anyone who's out to destroy them. She was the Fire who would set ablaze anything that touches them. She was Fire, herself.
Haru was surprised on the sight of two corpses at the ground when they arrived at the Rose Noire Paris HQ. It was really surprising, considering the fact that these corpses looked like Tsuna and her. But after an explanation made by Gokudera and Vio, she had understood the situation. But how was it possible that someone knew of their plans on going to the Rose Noire Paris HQ?
"Haru-san?" Vio called as she turned to her ever-loyal subordinate. "Yes, Vio?"
"Regardless of whatever will happen, I will still stay loyal to you. I will be the last one to betray you. I will entrust my life to you." Vio said as Haru was taken aback. Why was Vio saying these things? She sat on her chair at her study table.
"Thank you, Vio. But I would appreciate it if you won't lose your life because of me. I wouldn't take it anymore." Haru said as she gave a bitter smile. "I was devastated with Li-Chen, being lost. I wouldn't be able to see the daylight without feeling horrible. So, please. Value your life the same way as you value the Famiglia."
"Haru-san..." Vio was out of words. Their Boss was really one of a kind. She smiled. "I shall follow you always, Boss!"
Tsuna smiled at the sight between the two while he stood outside of Haru's study room. He didn't know what exactly happened, but he was glad with the way things were going. Although there was still that awkwardness between Haru and him, especially with what happened the other night at the Vongola HQ in Namimori. He blushed as he remembered his actions. How could he have hugged Haru out of the blue?
Now, he was blaming himself for the sudden awkwardness between the two of them. Their trip going to the Paris HQ was full with silence. When there wasn't anything to talk about regarding the Famiglia, the two of them couldn't look at each other straight on the face. He hit his head on the wall, but there was still an existing blush on his face.
Great, he was a mafia boss, but he was still blushing like he was a teenager. Exactly, when was the last time that he experienced this? Was it with his high school crush on Kyoko? Perhaps. But what the hell. He doesn't even remember when was the exact last time. Oh well. He would live without knowing. What he had to do now was just try to remove the awkwardness between him and the Rose Noire Boss.
"Judaime, are you okay?" Gokudera asked as Tsuna nodded. "Don't worry. I was just thinking of some things."
"Okay. If that's what you say..." Gokudera said as he looked at Tsuna who was still deep in thought. Despite being Tsuna's Storm Guardian for years, he still couldn't understand whatever was inside his Boss' head. Well, he could get it sometimes, but just sometimes. Gokudera sighed. When exactly were the others were going to arrive?
And as if on cue, there was a subordinate of Haru who went near them and notified them of the arrival of Antoinette, Yamamoto, K, Ryohei, Sachiko, Rico, Mukuro and Chrome. Lambo and Lizzy were to stay at the Vongola Italy HQ since the HQ was needed to be on guard always. Although there was the Varia there, but still. They had to be sure.
"Here, let me carry you, Antoinette-san." Yamamoto offered as Antoinette held out her hand in refusal, "No. I can stand up. I'll be fine. I just feel weird. That's all. I'll be fine on my own."
"Antoinette, don't be so full of pride at times." K said as he patted on Antoinette who glared at him on reply. "Shut up, K. You are so going to be dead once I'm out of this state."
K just chuckled on the statement that Antoinette gave towards him.
"Don't you have extreme pills to take, Regis?" Ryohei asked as Antoinette sighed, "They won't cure me. Even the strongest ones won't do."
"Kufufufu, that is some unique illness you have their, Antoinette Regis. Could it be there was an incident in the past that might've triggered you to have the worst among the worst travel sickness?" Mukuro asked as Antoinette shook her head.
"There was nothing that I could remember." Antoinette replied.
"That is quite unfortunate..." Chrome said as Sachiko sighed. "It's a bit of a bother to have that kind of travel sickness, no?"
"Oh yes. There was a time when I almost got killed because of this. Fortunately, Li-Chen was my partner at that mission." Antoinette said as it earned another moment of silence for a while.
"She's still alive there. Breathing and still hyper as ever. We'll all be surprised that she'll turn in one day with Hibari Kyoya-san." Rico said as he tried to uplift the atmosphere.
"Rico-san is right. Hibari Kyoya and Tan Li-Chen are both strong. Thus, it'll take a lot of hard work for them to die." Yamamoto said as he gave a light chuckle while they went inside of the Rose Noire Paris HQ Mansion when they were greeted personally by Tsuna, Haru, Vio and Gokudera.
"Ara! Boss! You're here already!" Antoinette said as she suddenly felt well while she went near her Boss.
"Antoinette, K, Sachiko, Rico, Mukuro-san, Sasagawa-san, Chrome-san, I see that you're all fine. Perhaps, shall you have a rest? A meal? Then, we can start the meeting later, no?" Haru said as Tsuna said, "Ah. We can probably have a meeting while we're having a meal. Or do you still need a rest?"
"I think all of us would settle for a meeting with a meal. But perhaps, Antoinette Regis would like a rest?" Mukuro said after he took a look at the others.
"I'm all feisty to get a revenge for my partner. Let's have the meeting." Antoinette said as Haru smiled while Tsuna nodded.
"I see. So, shall we head to the conference room in the third floor?" Tsuna asked as they nodded. Meanwhile, the Rose Noire Guardians were looking on a painted picture on the hallway of the Rose Noire Mansion. They were staring at Tan Li-Chen's face on the painting.
"We'll get revenge for you, Li-Chen. Just wait and see."
The same thought had gone towards their minds as they went up to the third floor conference room to conduct their meeting.
