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

The skies above them darkened as Haru quickly looked up to the heavens, while a quick flash of light engulfed Andre's body. He floated up to the air as a strange glowing ray encircled him - morphed faces of his guardians had seemingly appeared by his side. The said morphed faces had risen up to the heavens, up to the source of the ray of light. Afterwards, a piece of lightning struck Andre as he suddenly became bigger in size, a loud chuckle coming out of his throat.

'What on Earth was happening' was what went inside Haru's mind. She wasn't sure what was happening to Andre. For sure, this power of his didn't exist back when he was still part of the Rose Noire; if he did, he never mentioned it to her. She swallowed, clenching her fists at the hurdle she had to overcome.

"AHHHHH!"

Cries from the Martinio Famiglia guardians were heard all over the place as Li-Chen and K were still on their defensive stance, despite the fact that their opponents were dropping dead to the ground as light engulfed their bodies.

Li-Chen braced herself as she cringed at the sudden cries that were heard all over the place. She wasn't sure what was happening, but she knew that her opponents were in sudden pain. What was happening? This was certainly new. Perhaps, Haru-san had defeated her opponent? But her instincts told her otherwise.

"Do you have any idea what's happening?" K asked her as she shook her head. She wasn't going to tell K anything that wasn't sure yet. However, she knew that this could be an omen to them, as well. Her master back in China had told her of how Andre was able to take hold of an ancient weapon that could benefit its user power in exchange of sacrifices. She swallowed. Could it be...

"NOOO!" Her opponents cried as they suddenly disappeared into dust. Her eyes widened as she swallowed. This was bad. She turned to K who was simply standing and not in his defensive stance anymore. After all, their opponents were already gone.

"We have to go to Haru-san. She's in danger. We must tell all the Guardians to go there as soon as they have recovered. We must help Haru-san." She told K, who raised an eyebrow.

"Is there something you want to tell us, Tan Li-Chen?" He asked as Li-Chen sighed and bit her lower lip.

"I'll explain everything as soon as we are on our way to Haru-san. As for now, we have to get all the Guardians who are fine to get to Haru-san as quickly as possible." Li-Chen replied as he nodded and they had headed back to the Rose Noire Mansion.

"Are you ready to give up now, Miura Haru?" Andre asked as he grinned at her figure, while Haru tried to get up from the ground after being thrust with a kick by Andre that had sent her flying to the ground. She held her limp arm as she glared at him. She can't afford to lose. If she loses, not only will her life be in stake, but of her loved ones, as well.

"I will never lose to you, Andre. Not to you. Never to you and your sick ideals." She growled as she summoned another ball of void from her gloves and threw it to Andre's direction. However, he was able to avoid it and had slashed her side with his spear.

'He's fast!' She thought as she was a second late from avoiding his spear, causing her to get a wound at her right arm. She cringed at the pain. Yet, this pain was nothing compared to the pain that would take place if she actually loses this fight.

"Haru," Her mother called as Haru turned around to see her mother approaching her while Haru was writing a minutes report as the secretary of the Rose Noire Famiglia.

"Mother," She acknowledged her mother's arrival as she stood up from her chair, while her mother simply smiled and sat beside her on the couch.

"Ah~ Hiroshi-san and I aren't talking since yesterday actually. I had a fight with your father." Victoire Miura said as she crossed her legs and laid back on the couch. Haru turned to her mother and raised an eyebrow.

"Really? Why? What were you fighting about?" Haru asked as she scanned through the notes she made earlier and then, proceeded to write on the clean sheet of paper.

"I wanted to eat cake, but he told me that my sugar level might be too high already for my own good." She pouted as Haru paused on her tracks and looked at her mother with a bewildered look on her face that had made her mother laugh.

"Forgive me, Haru," Her mother said as she stopped laughing, "Well, Haru, there are just some times that you have to endure some things in life, especially when you're in a fight that you really have to win." Her mother winked at the last part as Haru simply sighed and turned back to her report.

It was pretty obvious that such moment like this was a fight that she couldn't afford to lose. She had to endure it all just to win this one. She simply had to and so, she suddenly blasted off another void ball to Andre's way. This time, he was able to narrowly dodge it, but he still got affected by it with its wave actually hitting him, making a slice on his cheek.

"You'll pay for this!" Andre growled as he suddenly got more bigger in size and started lashing on Haru, who tried to block each and every lash he gave to her.

"Haru-san/Haru-chi/Boss!" Her Guardians cried as they arrived to the area, earning Haru's and Andre's attentions. Andre grinned as he suddenly threw a slash towards the Rose Noire Guardians that had instantly sent them to a knock-out.

"NOOOOOO!" Haru cried as she was suddenly engulfed in light and had disappeared from the area.
