Jychan: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn! I'm just an ordinary fan who loves doing fanfics for KHR.
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

"Now, it is all known to you that the reason why we have met here again in Paris is because the Martinio Famiglia's Main HQ is here." Tsuna said as the rest of the Rose Noire Famiglia Guardians and Vongola Famiglia Guardians were listening intently to him.
"I believe that if we continue to stay in a defense state, then we might continue on losing. We must face it. The Martinio Famiglia is strong. We cannot always hope that their continual attack on us would backfire on them. Thus, we must attack." Tsuna added as the other Guardians nodded in agreement.
"Actually, we were just waiting for you to actually say that." K said as the others chuckled while Tsuna almost fell off his chair. "But of course, we didn't take any action because Haru-san doesn't want to shed any blood yet. So, yup. That was it."
"Guys... You could always kill them by accident, you know." Antoinette attempted a joke at this while all of them had stopped chuckling and laughing and were deadpanned on her remark. "What?"
"That wasn't funny, you know." Yamamoto whispered to her ear as Antoinette's eyes widened.
"Well then, moving on. Shall we do this by groups? Are we going to just march up to the Martinio Famiglia HQ? I don't think that's advisable, Sawada-san." Vio said as Tsuna nodded.
"I was thinking about that earlier. Thinking, that they have tricks up on their sleeve. So, I was thinking why don't we let them come to us?" Haru said as Mukuro chuckled and said, "Kufufufu... That way we can perhaps prepare some traps for them."
"I don't think they would fall for that so easily, Mukuro-san." Rico said as Mukuro chuckled once again, "Kufufufu. I wasn't talking about ordinary traps, Rico Compagnucci. I was talking about the traps that one encounters when challenging the Vongola."
"Oh my... That is certainly appealing, Mukuro Rokudo. I shall coordinate with you on this matter." K said as he gave a smirk while Mukuro just chuckled at this. The rest of the Guardians were looking at the two sadists of the two Mafia Famiglias were talking with each other on this.
"Shall I try to catch their attention, Boss?" Violetta asked as Haru paused for a moment. That was a nice plan. A good one, in fact. But that might cause them a lot of damage.
She frowned.
"You may, but don't risk your life." Tsuna replied instead of Haru. She instantly turned to Tsuna who just smiled and nodded. Well, she had just to trust him this time.
"Okay. Hayato and I will do that then." Vio said as Gokudera widened his eyes on what Vio said. Vio raised both her eyebrow as she tilted her head, while Gokudera sighed and nodded.
"Okay. Then, I shall entrust the two of you this task then." Haru said as they nodded firmly. "The rest of us will stay here in the Rose Noire Mansion. We will just anticipate for their attacks. We shall not slack off from this. This is our one and only chance."
The rest of them nodded as Haru noticed that there were two seats that were available. She felt the urge to cry again. Those seats were supposed to be for Hibari Kyoya and Tan Li-Chen. She shook her head. She wouldn't break down in front of everybody. "Meeting adjourned."
All of them had flocked out of the room like bats, but Haru and Tsuna still remained inside the Conference Room.
"Are you okay?" Haru.
He wanted to call her back the same way that he did in the past. He wanted to. He had missed calling her the same way he did when they were younger. He missed her.
"I'll stay strong. I will, Sawada-san." She said as she stared at a space. She was not just trying to force the Vongola Boss, but she was doing so to herself. She knew she had to stay strong. She had to. She stood up from her chair and was about to leave the room, when he suddenly ran towards her and grabbed her arm.
"Haru." He called as her heart skipped a beat. It had been ages since she heard him call her that. It was like a forbidden word. It seemed like a taboo for the two of them. She turned around and saw gushes of emotions flow in his eyes. She took a step back as he took another step towards her.
And when her back was already against the wall, she stopped walking backwards, but he continued walking towards her. And when their bodies were too close with each other, Tsuna closed the distance between their faces and Haru closed her eyes.
"Don't overexert yourself. Please." He breathed in as Haru stopped breathing. He took a step away from her and Haru opened her eyes, one at a time. He left the room quickly, leaving Haru breathless and beet red. She dropped on her knees. She panted for air and fanned herself with her hands.
She couldn't be- She couldn't just- No. She couldn't have. No, she can't afford to. She shook her head. It wasn't possible that she was in love with Sawada Tsunayoshi again, was it?
"Haru-san, are you okay?" Vio asked as she knocked on the door, seeing Haru still on the floor. "HARU-SAN!" She quickly shouted as she helped Haru stand on her feet.
"I tripped on the floor." She lied. She couldn't tell Vio the reason why she was on the floor. She just couldn't tell her most loyal subordinate that she was falling for the Vongola Boss. For the second time around.
jychan: I know. It's too short. But, at least I see some improvements with Tsuna and Haru, right? :D And while you're waiting, you can check out the companion fic: Of Skylarks and Plums. :) BTW, aside from anonymous reviews, I will be just PM-ing the replies, if you don't mind of course. ;)
