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

"You're surprisingly strong for a woman." K said as his twin swords were clashing with Issle's swiss knives.
"Another information about you then: A chauvinistic bastard." Issle replied as she frowned and continued on striking while K continued on walking back. "Are you going easy on me, K?" She asked.
Not that he could deny what the female researcher from the rival family had accused him of. He was going easy on her since she was a woman. He might be a bastard and a sadist, at the same time, but he was raised as a gentleman. Thank you very much. Plus, in order to be recognized as a couple with that girl, he needed to be a gentleman. And so, that is what he was doing now.
"Who knows," He said with a smirk as he continued on blocking the woman's attacks. Issle Douvat, on the other hand, was furious with what was happening. How dare that a man like him who possibly had no past, was underestimating her? Well, if he was doing so, then she will just have to find a way to make him fight back. She smirked and stopped attacking.
"Changement de l'élément!" She said as her swiss knives' sizes changed and had changed into a longer piece of a shank knife. "un couteau de l'élément métallique."
"Nice upgrade of weapons..." K commented as Issle's patience grew out. "SHUT UP, K!" She grumbled, "I knew that you weren't serious on me! And so, I had no choice but to upgrade the plain swiss knives. Nevertheless, I will win against you with these new weapons."
K sighed and shook his head on the matter. He wasn't sure if he was still going to be fighting here when the woman was indeed nothing to fear much about. It was obvious that the woman was not much of an athletic type of person, since her stamina was off and she had panted so easily when they were just getting started.
The fact that it seemed that the woman had only used the upgraded version of her weapons just now would also seem like an equivalent of his victory since the woman wasn't used to her new weapons yet. No matter how great and good the weapons were, but if you were not used to it, then its effects would just be off. Truly off. He sighed and shook his head. Well, at the meantime, he could kill some time, yes?
"Shall we continue then, Issle Douvat?" K asked as he changed his stance. He had to attack somehow, right? Otherwise, it would be disrespectful and at the same time, impolite if he didn't do what Issle had expected him to do, but if he attacked her, then that would not be gentlemanly, yes? He shook his head. The way of the world is truly full of mysteries and sometimes, it could make you lose your mind at the same time. He skipped his feet and went forward to Issle as he attacked her (albeit, slowly and with caution) head-on.
The woman, on the other hand, was pleased at the recent events, but she was sure that K was still going easy on her. She frowned. What the hell was this guy anyway? She frowned. She had no choice but to bring that up then. She hated it when she was going to resort to her last option. She opened her mouth.
"You went to Australia with Sasagawa Ryohei, right?" K perked up upon the woman's question as he raised an eyebrow. "You stayed at the Australia HQ with him. At the same time, Sasagawa Ryohei's sister was there, as well, yes?"
K raised an eyebrow. What was the woman implying then? It couldn't be possible that-
"An ongoing romance was supposed to be going on with you and this Sasagawa Kyoko, I assume?" Issle said as she gave a smirk upon K's shocked features. Even if she had no idea on her past, she knew what was going on in the present. She knew who K was now at the present. She had researched a lot on the Metal Guardian of the Rose Noire. And this was one of the very few that she had found.
"Sasagawa Kyoko. The Empress of Disguise. The Vongola Tenth's First Love. The Younger Sister of the Sun Guardian of the Vongola. The Rose Noire Boss' Best Friend. And now, The Lover of the Metal Guardian Rose Noire? Oh my. She definitely has a lot of connections in the mafia, I believe." Issle said as she smirked upon K's emotions that surfaced on his face.
He was shocked indeed. He had no idea that the Boss was the friend that Kyoko mentioned to him. That the boss was the person who she wished so much to see once again, even for a glimpse or so. That the boss was the person who had changed the outgoing and smiling Sasagawa Kyoko into someone who was cold and emotionless (although she wasn't that cold and emotionless now).
He shook his head. Now was not the time to think about these things. He had a fight in front of him and he had to win or the consequences would be bad. He frowned. He didn't want to do this seriously, but he was left with no choice.
"Now, now. I know you're a lot stronger than me, K of Rose Noire. And that is why, I'll give you something to ponder on." She took out a piece of gadget that had a button on the middle, "You see, the Martinio Famiglia coincidentally has a base in Australia. The very same place as where the Vongola HQ there is. Now, I had sent a picture of Sasagawa Kyoko to one of the most feared men in our world: Sicarius." She gave a grin.
Sicarius. True that person was truly to be feared. He had assassinated a lot of mafia leaders, mafia men who were enemies to those who stood up to the ones who hired him. He was on nobody's side though, but if he were given something, cash often, then he would kill whoever you would want him to kill. That was the kind of person Sicarius was.
"Now, if you won't let me defeat you and take from you your beloved Metal Weapon, then I would press this button that will signify to Sicarius to kill that woman. Now, now, I'm not threatening you." She gave a low chuckle as K frowned and glared at her.
"So, have you made up your mind?" Issle said as she gave a small grin and proceeded to attack K, who was still deep in thought.
Antoinette was sitting by the back entrance of the Rose Noire Compound. She sighed. It was really boring. There was no Yamamoto-san who would keep her company or amuse her. And there was nobody to tell of her jokes. Just when she had already thought of a joke, she sighed. Her joke composed of different jokes that were funny to her. Really. Just like this one: Why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 789! She grinned at her joke. Now only if somebody would have the heart to accompany her here.
"Antoinette Régis. I knew that you would stay here."
This voice. She hadn't heard this voice for so long, though she wasn't really happy to hear this person's voice at this time. She turned around and confirmed that it was indeed that person.
"Marie Moreau. I had never expected that I would see you once again. Much more in a mafia fight as this." Antoinette said as Marie simply smirked and curtsied in front of her.
"I am your eternal rival, Antoinette. Of course, we would see each other always." Marie said as she had a smug grin.
"Don't tell me that's the very reason why you joined the mafia, then?" Marie nodded at Antoinette's question as Antoinette shook her head and massaged her temples. Did that girl know anything at all? Was she really that thick-headed?
"Plus, there's monsieur André. He is a handsome fellow, after all. It is such a shame that your Boss had not continued the wedding at all. Her eyes must be damaged." Marie said as a dart almost hit her face.
"Don't ever insult, Haru-san. You don't know her at all. Plus, your monsieur André isn't really something. He's some power-hungry bastard who will never get Rose Noire or the element weapons that we have." Antoinette said as she took out her darts.
"Well, let's see about that then." Marie said as she took out a morning star from somewhere. "I will defeat you with my own hands and get the Water Element Weapon from you."
jychan: YES. Action finally. Oh yeah. Exams are finished and I have updated! :))) I'm really sorry if I had placed some french words, but they were really necessary since they're supposed to be a French mafia famiglia right? :) Changement de l'élément - Change Element; un couteau de l'élément métallique - Knife of the Metal Element; Explanation to those who might be wondering what these Element Weapons are: They are weapons that each element guardian of the Rose Noire possess. It is the Rose Noire equivalent to the Vongola Rings and Arcobaleno pacifiers. :)
