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 know, the Compagnucci Family has been serving the Rose Noire Famiglia since it started." Rico said as he gave a sinister smile while he took strides along the pathway. "Then, that makes you the oldest among them?" His opponent said as Rico glared at him and replied, "Dumb bastard. I said it to imply that I knew more of the Rose Noire Famiglia than anyone else and not to imply that I'm the oldest. Lizzy is the oldest among us. I'll tell you that."

"Therefore, your point is?" The woman in the blue Cheongsam dress asked as Rico shook his head, "Simply that." He chuckled at the last part as the others raised an eyebrow. Was this guy out of his mind or something? How was he able to chuckle when it was just he and the opponent of Marie were against three of them? She nodded. There really should be something wrong with him.

"Ah. Are we really just going to have a fight with our swords here? This is really getting boring, you know. I would like to play with girls once this is all over." Rico sighed as he continued on clashing his sword with Pierre's sword. It was a fight between two wielders of the sword. They were fighting with each other as they were able to point each other in their necks.

"This is really boring, especially since we seem to be in par with our swords." Rico sighed as Pierre replied, "Do you think I am enjoying this? You know, I would like to surround myself with my own harem."

"A harem?" Rico raised his eyebrows, "You have got to be kidding me. That's very impossible, especially with the way you look." His opponent glared and ferociously attacked him nonstop. "How dare you insult my looks! You're just jealous because you don't have a harem of your own!"

"Why would I need a harem of my own if I have a woman of my own?" He smirked as an image of Sachiko went inside his head. He chuckled as he shook his head. "That's sick. You love women, and yet your love only applies to one woman! Such an irony." Pierre retorted back as Rico rolled his eyes.

"If you truly love women, you would try your best to please one. Besides, what women need nowadays would be love from one true gentleman who would stay behind her no matter what." He said as he gave a smile while Antoinette, who was fighting with her opponent, Marie, simply chuckled. "Nope. What women nowadays need is money. Basically, money, especially since we need to buy clothes."

Rico and Pierre rolled their eyes as Marie replied, "You and your lame jokes, Antoinette! You never changed, while I changed a lot! And that is why I'm going to win over you!"

"My jokes aren't that lame! In fact, Yamamoto-san would always laugh at them!" Antoinette said in a-matter-of-fact tone as Rico replied, "Don't you think he was just being polite, An?" "No, he wasn't!" Antoinette glared at him as Rico just nodded and continued on his sword fight with his opponent.

"Damn it! Concentrate with your fight with me!" His opponent said as Pierre continued on giving slashes while Rico simply blocked each slash. "I don't need much concentration, actually. You're too weak for my own abilities." "Cocky bastard!" Pierre cursed out loud as he continued on attacking Rico, who continued on blocking each move.

"Well, I am not a bastard for your information. My father is part of the Rose Noire Famiglia, too. I'll let you know. I'm a legitimate child. Lastly, I am not being cocky since it is TRUE, after all." Rico smirked as he continued on blocking each attack by Pierre until he flipped in the air and jumped to a distance away from Pierre.

"Well, we are really wasting some time here. I would really love to go back to the HQ and lax off there. So, warm-up is finished." He said as he placed back his weapon to its case while picking up a piece of branch in the side. "This is still good... Yes." He murmured as he turned his attention back to Pierre who raised an eyebrow.

"What's that branch for? Gonna throw it towards me? Well, that would be what I expect from being a subordinate from a woman such as her? Andre-sama should have been the boss, not your petty boss" Pierre asked as he mocked Rico who rolled his eyes and smirked. "I am going to show you some magic trick. Don't take your eyes off of me." He clasped the branch tightly and simply stated, "Changement de l'élément, Fouet du le bois."

The branch was overwhelmed with light as it stretched vertically until it had become its intended form: The Wood Whip. The others who were watching were filled with awe as Rico clasped the weapon on his hands and had smirked. "The magic show is now over, children. It's time for business."

"Oh. So that would be the Wood Whip that I must get from you. Oh, certainly, I will be awarded with the harem I was asking for from Andre-sama if I get that from you." Pierre said as Rico snorted. "What kind of a casanova are you if you don't get your own harem because the women want you?" "And what kind of a casanova are you if you only love one woman?"

"Better to love only one, while never be loved at all." Rico said as he scrubbed salt on Pierre's wounds. "Are you even a man?" "Let's see about that once I get the wood whip from you! I'll make that woman you love be part of that harem of mine!" Pierre said with a glare as he attacked Rico who just blocked each attack of his with his whip while he sliced the whip, which got regenerated each time.

"That is impossible!" Pierre said as he noticed the regeneration of the wood whip, despite how he sliced each part of the whip. "How is that even possible! I am sure that I had sliced it!"

"Never underestimate nature, eh?" Rico smirked as he whipped Pierre's wrist, which made him let go of his weapon. "Now, where were we? Yes, let us go to the part where you said about making her part of your harem." His whip bound Pierre's whole body as Pierre's eyes widened. "I-It was just a joke! I was just provoking you!"

"Then how about Haru-chi being a petty boss and all? Don't you suppose that I was also insulted since I am her Wood Guardian, after all?" Rico asked as Pierre was heavily sweaty in all parts of his body. "I-I was just joking! In fact, I would love to be her subordinate!"

Rico smiled as he pulled his whip, fully crushing Pierre's bones that led to his death. The death scream of Pierre was heard all over as Rico didn't bat an eye. Antoinette and Marie's fight was slowly interrupted by such scream as the birds flew away from the area.

"You're just a fake casanova. You're not even a man. A real man would stand by on his words and comrades. Shame on you." He said as he turned away from the corpse of his opponent while walking away. He silently said, "désactiver, fouet du le bois." The whip turned back to its former state as he turned to Antoinette who was on the verge of being killed off by Marie who had taken hold of the l'eau du arc.

He had sped off towards Antoinette, but he was stopped by the woman in the blue Cheongsam dress. "Oh my, since you are finished with Pierre, then I shall become your immediate enemy, eh, Wood Guardian. But before I kill you, let me tell you my name. I am Tan Mei Lin." The woman said as she held the Éventail du vent before him. Tan? Then, is she related to Tan Li-Chen? But before worrying about that, he looked for any tree branch, yet he could find nothing. He was at lost. He was going to be killed off right there and then.

"Say good-bye the two of you." Marie and Mei-Lin chorused as they simultaneously attacked Antoinette and Rico, but two wind slices had stopped their attacks. "That's impossible! How could something stop an attack from the Éventail du vent?" Mei-Lin asked while Marie grumbled, "I'm near to killing my life-time rival and here comes someone stopping me. Who the hell are you!"

A black-haired woman in a red Cheongsam dress appeared as she pointed to the two Martinio Famiglia Guardians with the arnis sticks on her hand. "Not so fast there, Marie, Achi." Black jet hair drifted with the wind as she gave a smirk while looking at Antoinette and Rico. "Missed me, Antoinette? Rico?"
