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

It was yet another day in the Vongola Italy HQ. It had been already a few weeks since she was assigned to the area. It was quite boring, actually. Still, she didn't say anything and continued to watch out while being on guard around the area. In fact, it could have been better if she was called back to the Rose Noire Famiglia Paris HQ. She wasn't really comfortable in the place, truth be told.

It wasn't her haven and it wasn't her comfort zone, yet Lizzy had to be fully-alert, considering that the Vongola Italy HQ was a place that would most likely be attacked by the enemy. The enemy would namely be the Martinio Famiglia who was headed by a former mafioso of the Rose Noire Famiglia, Andre.

Yes, Andre was a part of the Famiglia, but had detached after his supposedly marriage to the Rose Noire Famiglia Boss, Haru, was canceled. It had to be canceled after Haru found out something that Andre had done towards-

"Lizzy-san, I have to go out for a few hours. Would it be fine if I leave you here?" Lambo asked as she went back to reality. She turned to the black-haired guardian and nodded with a small smile. "I'll be fine on my own." She replied with a gentle smile as the wind gently lifted her ash blond hair.

"Thank you very much then." Lambo replied as he turned around, but remembered something. He turned his head and added, "By the way, I heard that Dino-san might be on his way here." Lambo winked as he left the room, leaving Lizzy blushing. Did she just hear it right? Dino was coming? She swallowed and blushed.

Not that she was blushing because she had feelings for the young boss of the Chiavarone Famiglia, but she had remembered a rather unfortunate and embarrassing memory with the Bucking Horse. It was another day when Dino's subordinates were not around. In short, chaos ensued. She shook her head as she tried to move her thoughts to another topic.

She had to or she might fall for the blond boss. He was someone that anyone could easily fall for, but she couldn't risk to fall in love again. Not again after what happened the last time she fell in love. She sighed. Her heart had to be closed. It was sad but it was the only way.

There was a knock on the door and she had stood up. "Y-Yes?" She went near the door and opened it. Apparently, it was locked by Lambo. Nevertheless, when she opened it, she saw a face she had never expected to see.

"Lizzy, nice to see you again." A man in his late-twenties appeared in front of Lizzy, yet she knew of the man's identity. She murmured, "Eric..."

Of course, she would know the said man. He was the person whom she had last loved. He was the reason why she had to lock off her heart to the world. He was the person whom she had loved so much, yet he betrayed her. Still, she couldn't get up.

"The hell, Lizzy. Give me the bloody weapon right now." He said. His personality has not changed yet for the past years. It was unfortunate, but Lizzy was a different person now than she was in the past.

"No. I won't." She said as she glared at him. It was about time that she showed him how much she had changed for the past years. She took out her gun as she gave out an evil smirk. "Die, Eric." She said before firing her guns towards him. She was weak no more.

And yet, Eric had quickly dodged and had countered her shots with his gun. "Still not enough, Lizzy. You will never beat me." He said with a smirk, "Once I get your weapon, I will beat you up again like last time." Her eyes widened as she remembered that dreaded day.

Eric, though they weren't living together, had come to her apartment one night, drunk again. Despite being in a relationship with him, she was already fed up with it. A huge row had started with them and he had taken out a gun and pointed it to her. She begged him for her life, but he continuously beat her up with his hands and gun. And when he fired the gun, she narrowly escaped death that day. She escaped through jumping off the window.

She had ran off away from him. She never felt such fear in her whole life. That night had changed her. That very night had turned her world upside down. She never though that love would betray her like this, despite all her sacrifices with love.

She shook her head upon returning to reality. She was different now. She was stronger than ever. She was the Rose Noire Famiglia's Light Guardian. And she would show to him that she could counter him in every way possible.

"Eat this, Eric." She shouted as she was able to appear in front of him and shoot him by his throat, yet she had ran off of bullets. "What was it I was going to eat, Lizzy?" He asked as he gave a smirk and pulled her hair. "AH!" She cried as he looked at her with a sneer.

"You're weak, Lizzy. You're weak. You'll never match up to me. That's the difference between a male and a female." He said with a chuckle, "That day, you narrowly escaped death, but now you wouldn't be able to. Besides, I can still get the Weapon after I kill you."

She gritted her teeth in anger. She was not going to let him get away with everything. She was going to fight against him, even if it would cost her life. "Changement de l'élément, la lumière orbe."

Light engulfed her as the lumière orbe appeared in her hands as she immediately pushed it inside her gun, "balle de lumière." She immediately pointed her gun towards Eric who released her upon realizing of the situation.

"I absolutely it when you people talk in French." His voice was tinted with sarcasm as he frowned, "Anyways, Lizzy, give me the Weapon now."

"I won't. Even if it costs me my life, in which will cost you your life once I pull this trigger." She said as she glared at him. She was not going to be timid at this moment. It was a life and death situation. She had no time to cower down. She had to fight head-on her fears and embarrassment.

"Oh, so you've learned how to fight really?" He mocked her yet she clenched her weapon hard. She had the upper hand now. "Now, shoot me." He dared her since he knew that she would have doubts. She frowned.

"Shoot me, now, Lizzy. Now." He said as he went near her while she took a step back. He smiled. The woman was still afraid. He smirked. "What's the matter? You can't shoot me?" Her hands were shaking. It was obvious.

"Shut up, Eric." She shrilled as she glared at him. Yet, as soon as her back was up against the wall, he was able to swing his hand against her hand as the gun flew from her hands. He immediately seized the moment to beat her up with his hands. Her shout of pains were heard, but no one would rescue her. Not now when the Vongola HQ was under attack, as well.

"That's what happens when you show mercy, Lizzy." He said as he continuously beat her up and kicked her in different parts of the body. She continued to shout in pain with every attack he made to her body, "AAAAH!" She cried and yelped in pain.

"LOUDER!" Eric enjoyed the ecstasy he felt upon beating up the woman. The last time he felt this was when he also beat her up years ago. He laughed in a haughty manner as he continuously beat her up. "Even if you're in the mafia now, you're still petty, Lizzy. No can do since Andre-sama commands me to do so." He said.

Yet, when he saw that Lizzy was already out of the question and can barely move, he stopped beating her up and had taken the gun that flew away. He was going to have an easy, sweet victory. Thank the heavens that he was only up against Lizzy.

"Good-bye, Lizzy." He said, but Lizzy was able to murmur some words. "-miere..." She murmured as he raised an eyebrow, "What did you say? Was it au revoir or something?" He asked. She glared at him as she was able to shout, "auto destruct orbe de lumière!"She shouted as light engulfed Eric and he had blown up with the gun that was loaded with the balle de lumière.

She smiled, she was glad it was all over. Yet, she felt so weak. She was about to lose consciousness when the door to the room opened and had seen a familiar shade of blond hair. "Lizzy? Lizzy!" Her name was called, but she had blacked out already.
