She was standing before him, bowing as she introduced herself as the boss of Rose Noire. He was sure that all the other Guardians were surprised of seeing her right in front of them. They had no clue on where she was until now.
"Good evening, Vongola Boss. I am Haru Miura, the Boss of the Rose Noire Famiglia. As known to you, we are a mafia famiglia from France." She introduced herself as if they were strangers. As if she had no idea who they were. He was surprised that she didn't call him 'Tsuna-san' as she always did in the past.
"Good evening, Miura-san. It is a pleasure for you to be in this occasion." Tsuna replied as he gave a restrained smile. He wasn't sure if he should call her 'Haru' just like what he did in the past. But then, she wasn't anymore the 'Haru' they knew. She was the Rose Noire Famiglia Boss.
"I insist, the pleasure should be ours. To be invited by the leading family in the underworld is a feat that our little family should be proud of." She said as she gave the same smile that others would give him. He wasn't sure if that was honest as others, but something tells him that that was the kind of smile a tainted person would give. And then again, she was already a mafia boss.
"I'll have to go on first, Miura-san. I have to greet other guests tonight." He said as he tried to get away from her first. He wasn't sure what to react. He was afraid that he might jump at her and demand from her what happened to her when all of them were so afraid that she disappeared all of a sudden.
"There is no problem, Sawada-san." She said as she gave a smile. But this time the smile wasn't 'Haru' anymore. It didn't belong to the Haru Miura of five years ago. It came from the Haru Miura of the present.
"Have a great evening." He said as he left her and went away while Reborn, who was on a side, was just looking over the things that were happening at the moment.
"So, what are you going to do, Tsuna?" Reborn chuckled.
"Judaime!" Gokudera called Tsuna as Tsuna turned around and paused, "Is there any problem, Gokudera-kun?"
"That now… Was that Haru?" He asked as Tsuna nodded. "From the time I saw her go in the room, I thought she was Haru. But now that I talked with her, she really was Haru. But she's not 'Haru' anymore."
"What are you saying, Boss?" Lambo asked as he appeared out of nowhere.
"Don't interrupt us, you dumb cow." Gokudera frowned as Lambo rolled his eyes and went near. "Are you saying, Haru-nee isn't Haru-nee? Is she an imposter then?"
"No. She's Haru for real, all right." Tsuna said as his smile disappeared, "She's just not the 'Haru' that we know from then."
"Then, what will happen to her if she knew that Haru was back already?" Gokudera asked as Tsuna shook his head. "I just hope that she'd go back to the way she was before Haru left."
"What family is she from? Is she a Guardian or some subordinate?" Gokudera asked as Tsuna sighed and replied, "She's the Rose Noire Famiglia Boss."
"Rose Noire Famiglia Boss?" Lambo asked as he opened his other eye. "Haru-nee? A mafia boss?"
Tsuna nodded as all of them sighed.
"She was bound to change, then." Gokudera said as Yamamoto went near, "Is there something wrong, Tsuna? I saw Haru earlier, but she was talking with some people so I decided not to talk with her."
"But it's so weird that she'd be here! We didn't even know that she was a mafia boss." Gokudera said as he shoved Yamamoto's words and went on as Yamamoto's eyes widened.
"Haru? A mafia boss?" Yamamoto asked as Lambo said, "My sentiments, exactly, Yamamoto-san."
"The Rose Noire Famiglia is the most powerful mafia in France." Gokudera said as Lambo sighed and replied, "Which was why they were invited. But how come we didn't know that she was the mafia boss of Rose Noire?"
"Kufufufu… The Rose Noire Famiglia Boss rarely shows up in formal occasions. It's usually her Guardians who showed up as their Boss couldn't show up for some reason or another." Mukuro Rokudo who appeared all of a sudden said as Gokudera frowned.
"But why did she just show up now to the extreme?" Ryohei asked,
"The Vongola Famiglia is the most powerful mafia organization all over the world. How could she not go to this occasion? That is unless she's trying to proclaim war against us or something." Gokudera said as Tsuna grimaced, "I wouldn't go so far as to have a war just because she didn't go this occasion."
"But Gokudera Hayato is correct, Sawada Tsunayoshi, Kufufufu. There are some people who would do that." Mukuro said as he leaned on the wall while Tsuna sighed. Though he was the boss of the Vongola Family, he wasn't that narrow-minded to proclaim war against other people just because of that. Who knew if that person wasn't really just feeling good or something? His eyes lingered at the other side of the room, where Haru was talking with her subordinates from the Rose Noire Famiglia.
"Nevertheless, she's not the Haru we knew anymore. She's someone else." Tsuna said as he sighed and continued on looking at Haru.
She knew that they would be surprised if they saw her now. She also knew that Tsuna-san felt flustered when they were talking earlier. Five years ago, she disappeared all of a sudden and suddenly they just saw her now, without any prior notice. Only a few people knew that she was the Boss behind the number one mafia family in France.
"Haru-san, are you okay?" Her right hand, Violetta Ricci, asked as she smiled and replied in return. "I'm fine, Vio."
"You were spacing out for a moment. I was scared that something might've happened when you were talking with the Vongola Boss." Violetta said as Haru's eyes widened. Was it possible that they knew?
"Perhaps, was he threatening you or something?" Antoinette, one of her Guardians, asked as Haru shook her head.
"There's no way that he would have done that." Haru immediately responded as the rest of her subordinates looked at her, "I mean, the Vongola Boss looks nice. And it's something else."
"Is it Andre perhaps?" K asked as Haru shook her head in reply.
"Andre is at the least of my worries." Haru responded as she brushed her hair with her fingers, "It's something else. Don't worry. I'll get by."
"Or perhaps, it's because the Vongola Boss is so handsome that you fell in love with him, hmmm, Haru-chi?" Rico Compagnucci replied as he gave a lazy grin while Haru's eyes widened.
"Are you crazy, Rico?" Sachiko Matsunaga, Haru's personal secretary, asked as she glared at the person. "Haru-san deserves someone better than the Vongola Boss."
"Relax! Relax!" Rico said as he gave another sexy grin, "You're too stressed out, Sachi. Shall we spend the night together?"
"Do you wanna die?"
"That is if I die in your arms."
"Die, Rico. Die."
Haru gave a loud cough as the two had stopped their bickering. This was a daily occasion in the lives of the Rose Noire Famiglia. Sachiko and Rico had grown up together since Rico stayed in Japan for quite sometime before going to Paris. After a few years, Sachiko went to Paris, in hopes to find Rico Compagnucci. Only to find out, that the guy she had been in love with had turned out to be such a playboy. Haru, though, was the only person who knew about that one night when she found Sachiko, who was drowning herself in alcohol.
"Boss," Elizabeth Ashford, who was the meekest person in the mafia world, next only to Chrome Dokuro of the Vongola, called as Haru turned her attention to the English woman.
"I haven't seen Tan Li-Chen, yet. Do you have any i-idea w-where she is?" She asked,
Haru widened her eyes upon realization that her strongest Guardian hasn't showed up yet. What could've happened this time? Though she was the strongest, but she wasn't blood thirsty. In fact, she would've preferred to settle something in diplomatic terms.
"She has to turn up. Otherwise, she wouldn't be allowed to go home next week." Vio said in a stern voice while Antoinette chuckled, "She would turn up. Don't worry."
Loud screams filled over the place as a wall of the room fell down.
"What is happening?" Tsuna asked as he turned his eyes to the area where it happened.
"What are we going to do, Boss?" Gokudera asked as Tsuna turned to Hyper Dying Will Mode.
"Lambo, call I-Pin and tell her that the two of you will be responsible for moving the visitors. Make sure that no one gets left behind." Tsuna instructed as Lambo nodded and left.
"Onii-san, try to heal those who got injured." Tsuna said as Ryohei nodded and went on with his job.
"Mukuro-san, Chrome-san, please do try to put up an illusion for the wall."
"Yamamoto-san, try to check the exits and the entrances of the Vongola Mansion. Gokudera-kun and I shall check up on the scene." He said as Gokudera and he immediately fled to the scene of accident, where they saw Hibari and an unknown woman fighting each other.
"I told you, I'm not an infiltrator or anything! I was just trying to stop that guy." The woman pointed a man who was on the floor with her arnis stick.
"But that is not an excuse for trying to disrupt the peace in this area. And for that I shall bite you to death." Hibari said as the woman raised an eyebrow.
"What on Earth-"
"Tan Li-Chen!" Haru called as the woman turned to Haru.
"Haru-nee, you know her?" Lambo, who was beside her, asked as Haru nodded.
"She's one of my Guardians. Please do tell Hibari-san to stop this." Haru said as Lambo gulped and replied, "I can't do that. Ah. Wait."
Lambo immediately fled to Tsuna's side and told him that the woman was one of Haru's subordinates. Hibari might've misunderstood the situation.
"Hibari-san, stop this first for a minute." Tsuna called Hibari, who was hesitant for a moment, but he did what Tsuna told him to do.
"Uwaa~ That's a relief. Thank you, Vongola Boss." Tan Li-Chen replied as she went near to her Boss.
"What happened, Tan Li-Chen? Why were you fighting with the Cloud Guardian of the Vongola?" Vio asked as Tan Li-Chen sighed.
"I saw that guy infiltrating to the Vongola Mansion. He's one of Andre's minions. I tried to tell him to get away just for this time. But he started attacking me. I just defended myself. Then, that guy appeared all of a sudden and attacked me for 'causing damage' at the Vongola Mansion." She replied as she gave a frown.
"Is that so, Tan-san? I'm sorry then." Tsuna apologized as he gave a smile that had sent the Haru from five years ago into heaven. That was five years ago, though.
"Apology accepted, Vongola Boss." Tan Li-Chen replied.
"But, why are Andre's minions attacking you?" Violetta asked as the Vongola Family Guardians raised an eyebrow,
"Andre?"
"I believe that it is best if we discuss this in the conference room." Reborn, who appeared all of a sudden, said as the others widened their eyes.
"Reborn/Reborn-san!" All of them chorused as Reborn chuckled, "Ciaossu."
"Reborn-chan…" Haru called as Reborn greeted, "Ciaossu, Haru."
"Haru-san knows R-Reborn?" Elizabeth or rather, 'Lizzy' asked as Vio immediately replied, "She's the Rose Noire Boss. Everybody is bound to know her."
"Well then, shall we go up to the conference room, Miura-san? Um, Rose Noire Famiglia?" Tsuna asked as he motioned to the stairs.
"I see no problem, Sawada-san." Haru replied as they went ahead while Reborn stayed behind. When the coast was clear, Leon changed into a gun and Reborn had fired to the man who was on the ground.
"AH! The re…cor…der." The man cried as he clenched his wound and died.
"Don't ever think that I didn't notice, you fool. The Vongola Family is better than what you think." Reborn said as he blew his gun.
