Rulers of the sky

She was the Vongola's top assassin. Well, she didn't really like to kill, but she did what was needed to be done.

At first when she was younger, she hated the mafia stuff. It was illegal and totally pointless. She thought that people should get along with each other and that was that. Though she still doesn't understand why the mafia is really there, she insisted on helping the guardians no matter what. Kyoko was a bit of a scardy cat when it came to things like that, so she was mostly left out. But for Haru, she was willing to help in any way she can.

The first time she helped out properly was when they all went to the future with the battle against Byakuran. She saw what the world looked like if it didn't have the right people. A cold and heartless place. Her parents had to go in hiding. After that, she was determined to become stronger. She trained with all sorts of guns and swords. She also did hand to hand combat that she turned out to be a challenge against Ryohei. Although she didn't have a flame, she was pretty good.

"Haru, I'm going to need your help with something." "Hahi? Me?" Haru had been pulled into Tsuna's office. They were now living in the world they had saved. Tsuna sighed. He wasn't sure if he should let her go. "Tsuna-san looks so cute! No wait, he's now married to Kyoko-chan." That's right. Tsuna finally confessed his feeling towards Kyoko and she had gladly accepted. Haru was happy for them.

"Well you see Haru. Varia needs your help for something. We got a rather loud message from Squalo, who as usual yelled that they need you ASAP. To be honest, I'm not sure why. I think they said to teach their minor subordinates who are new, to fight. These people don't have flames too, so they asked you. I hope it's no problem."

Tsuna was waiting for Haru to respond. Haru smiled. "That sounds great! When do I get going?" Tsuna shifted in his seat. "Well, your flight is actually due in three hours' time so…" Haru couldn't care less if it was too close. "That's alright. I guess I should go and pack now. She bowed down and left the office. She saw Gokudera standing outside the office. "Well go and pack stupid woman so that we can go." "Shut up bakadera!" They both glared at each other for a while, and then they burst out laughing. "Ten years and we still haven't changed huh Hayato?" Gokudera smiled as they walked down the corridor. "Well it's a good thing. I see you as a sister, better than Bianchi anyway. I wouldn't want you to change."

Haru started to think. She and Gokudera did have a brotherly sisterly relationship. She then smirked. "Let me guess, you like me better because I can cook better." Gokudera's face then turned blue. "Yes!" They both laughed as they went to Haru's room.

She was already at the airport in Italy. She was waiting for her escort to come and pick her up. Lucky for her, she took the Vongola private jet, so she was in comfort. While she was thinking of what she had to do for Varia, she was interrupted.

"VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIII! Haru, I'm here to pick you up!" She immediately knew who that was she turned round with a smile. "Hello Squalo." "Voi! Let's go!" "Wow, he really does talk loud! How can he be the rain guardian while Yamamoto is so gentle?"

As they got into the limo, she heard a strange laugh. "Ushishishi! So this is the newbie huh? Fresh blood for me then!"

"Bel-senpai, how could you think of that when she only just got into the limo?" Bel's smile got even wider. "Shut it froggy." He launched three knives into his hat. "Ouch Bel-senpai. What was that for?" Haru took in his bored voice. "I'm guessing that it didn't really hurt. Is Varia really this messed up?"

Haru looked at the teal green haired man. "You must be Fran, the new mist guardian for Varia." Fran nodded. "Yep that's me. Sorry for the fake Prince's behaviour. He's a- ow Bel-senpai." "Ushishishi. I don't like peasants talking shit about me." Bel then turned his head to Haru. Haru immediately knew that she was not going to get along with him. "You must be the storm guardian. You're as about as crazy as Gokudera. Must be something with the guardians." She then immediately dodged the knife that was heading straight for her face.

"Voi! Bel what do you think you're doing?" A fight had started up between Squalo and Bel. Haru sat down to let it wash over her. "Just like Lambo and Gokudera."

"Well hello Haru sweetie!" Haru turned her head to see a colourful man. "Hi, I'm guessing that you're Lussuria, the sun guardian here." Lussuria chuckled. "Yes I am. Say, how's Ryohei doing? Is he still doing his training to the extreme?" Haru nodded. "Yes, he still does it a lot."

Haru turned her head to see a man with a pointy moustache. "Hello Levi." There was a dark tone in her voice. Levi threw her a dirty look. "Hello Haru. I didn't know it was you we had to pick up. I just came because the boss said to." Haru snickered. "I see that you're still gay for your boss." Bel burst out laughing, so did Squalo. Levi had turned red. He looked the other way.

"I can't believe that that prick is here too. Well he is part of Varia."

"Fran spoke up to Haru. "I can see that we are going to enjoy your stay very much." Haru's grin widened. "Yeah. It is going to be interesting isn't it?"

The limo then drove off.

~x~

While they were on their way to the Varia headquarters, Fran slid up to Haru. "Hey Haru-Chan? How comes you hate Levi when you've just met him?" Haru sighed and shut the book she was reading. "Well for one, that gay man over there thought it would have been funny to come along and rape me. But you know me; I stood my ground and knocked him out into next week!"

Haru was pissed off. Levi had also tried to rape Kyoko, but Haru got there just in time. The next night, he tried to rape her. She could hear Fran chuckle in a way you wouldn't think is laughing. "I always thought that he was a pervert." Haru smiled. "Looks like I've got a friend here."

~x~

Xanxus was sitting in his armchair. He seemed to be in a bad mood. But then again, he always was. He was happy that he had gotten Levi to get out of the headquarters for at least 4 hours. He seemed to be angry by the fact that he couldn't get any decent food around here. "Fucking scums. Top chefs in Italy, yet they don't know how to cook." His scars on his face were getting visible, while Bester, his Liger was looking at his angry master.

After a while, he seemed to calm down. He then remembered that he was to be getting a new helper for Varia. "A fucking woman. What can they do?" He took a sip of his Tequila and fell asleep.

~x~

Once they got out of the limo and the servant took Haru's luggage, Haru was told where she would be sleeping and what she had to do. Levi, Bel and Fran had duties to attend to, so they went off, leaving Haru in the hands of Squalo and Lussuria.

"VOOII!" So Haru, I heard you're good with swords! Is that true?" Haru nodded. "Yeah, I'm alright, but I guess not the true level yet. I'm just good for a girl." Squalo nodded. "One of these days I might teach you trash." Haru nodded. She didn't mind being called trash. If Yamamoto didn't mind, then why should she?

"So! This is your schedule that you would have to stay by at all times. I don't think that you're allowed to go into any battles while you're here. You got that trash?" Again Haru nodded. "Good. I'm going now. Any questions and you can ask Lussuria. Good bye trash!" Squalo jumped out of the nearest window and ran.

"Sooo Haru-Chan! Would you like to pack your stuff before starting?" Haru smiled at Lussuria. "Kind hearted. The nature of the sun!" I would like that very much!" They both walked down the hallway laughing.

~x~

"Before I go Haru-Chan, do you have any questions?" "Actually, yes. When am I supposed to meet the boss of Varia?" Lussuria smiled. "I don't know when you will meet him. Maybe at breakfast, maybe earlier or later. We don't really see him except from Squalo. Even his little stalker, Levi doesn't know where he is half the time."

Haru nodded. "Okay then. Thanks." Haru and Lussuria both walked in opposite directions.

Haru walked into a huge room. It was their training room. She immediately saw about 40 women. Haru smiled. "Hello everyone. My name is Haru and I'm from the Vongola family." Many of the women seemed relieved to have a woman as a tutor. "Hello Haru-Sama!" Haru waved a hand. Please, call me Haru. First of all, I'll need to get to know you."

As he went to get all their names, she came to the middle of all the women. "Now let me tell you all something. Although we are women, we are very strong. Men always look down on us thinking that we aren't at all great. Well we are! If you aren't prepared to do so, then please leave my class NOW!" She saw that no one moved. She smiled. "Okay then. Let's get cracking shall we?" All the women cheered as they begun.

~x~

Haru was happy from the training. She had taught them the basics and although it was their first time, they were quite good. According to Squalo, a lot of women wanted to join Varia, but they had no women tutors. Haru was the best one as Squalo had seen her fight before.

She had made dinner for the guardians as she was allowed to dine with them. As she set out all of the food, the guardians excluding Xanxus came to eat. "Voi! We have servants to do that!" Haru shook her head. "I told them to take a break today, that I'll be doing the cooking."

Lussuria clapped his hands. "Oh you're too kind Haru-Chan!" Bel took his place and sat down. "Well she is a peasant, so she might as well cook for us." "Bel-senpai, that's not nice to say." "Again, shut it froggy!" He launched his knives into Fran's hat. Fran took them all out and broke them in half.

Bel had this weird murderous intent around him, even if was smiling. "You shit face. Break any of them again and I'll your life here and now." Haru came up behind Bel and smacked a tray round his head. "There will be NO fighting round the table, do you hear?" Bel looked at Haru and although she couldn't see his eyes behind his bangs, she knew he was giving her a 'are you crazy!' Look.

"Voi Bel! I told you that you should never anger women who are involved in the Mafia! They are very scary and could kill you with one look!" Bel looked at his plate. He mumbled something that sounded like I'm sorry. Haru smiled, while the other guardian's jaws dropped.

Levi spoke up. "Belphegor, the Prince the ripper just said sorry!"His attention was then diverted to the door. "Xanxus-Sama!" "Humph." Xanxus simply took his seat at the head of the table. Haru took her own seat. She couldn't help but look at the Varia's boss. His black hair was falling over his eyes. And God those eyes! They were blood red! "That's so cool." Before he could catch her looking at him, she turned her head to look at her food.

She then heard him speak up. They all looked at him. "Which one of those fucking scums made this meal?" Haru stiffened. "Does he not like the meal?" She heard Lussuria's sunny voice. "Oh boss, it was Haru-Chan here!" Xanxus' eyes moved over to where Haru was. "Dammit, I'm so dead!"

"Humph. It's good scum. Better than the shit I have to eat around here." "Voi! We have good chefs! You're just too picky!" Squalo then dodged a wine glass that was heading his way. "And you're just fucking noisy!" Levi tried to punch Squalo. "Stop annoying boss!" Again, Squalo moved out of the way. Instead of punching him, he punched Bel.

"Ushishishi. You're going to die now for bruising royal blood." He aimed five knives at Levi, but one caught Fran in the hat. "Bel-senpai!" All three of them got in a fight, while Lussuria tried to break them up. Haru picked up her plate and sat on the small table. She found that Xanxus was sitting opposite her watching the fight. "Humph. Fucking scums."

He then turned his head to carry on eating, when he spotted a companion on his table. She was watching them fight too. He heard her say, "This lot is a whole lot worse than the Vongola." She sighed and turned her head too. They both found themselves staring at each other in the eyes. After a while, Xanxus broke the awkwardness.

"Hey scum, this meal is good. I want you to cook for me from now on." Haru almost choked on her water. "You want me to cook for you? I'm not here for that! I have a job here and as soon as it's done, I'm going back!" Xanxus flashed his blood red eyes at her. Haru sighed. "Fine. Sheesh." Haru took her plate and his empty one to the sink.

"You would think that the boss of Varia would have much class, but nooo, he's a bigger jerk than anyone!"

Xanxus was watching this new woman that had come to his headquarters. "She's not even afraid of me. She seems interesting. Maybe that's why she's called the strongest female in Vongola." Haru could feel someone staring at her. She looked at the main table and saw that they were still fighting. She then looked at Xanxus, who glared right at her. She turned away from him.

"Why was he glaring at me? I didn't do anything wrong!"

When she finished washing up, she heard the fight getting worse and worse. Xanxus seemed to have slept off and didn't even care. She could feel her anger rising. The whole fight seemed to have stopped. Even Xanxus opened an eye. "Do you always have to fight? Levi got scared and even Bel and Fran seemed a little afraid. Squalo stopped cutting things. He tried to calm Haru down.

"Now, now Haru. No need to get angry."

The next thing that the guardians other than Lussuria and Xanxus felt was Lussuria's peacock healing them. Squalo looked up to see Haru sitting at the table with a bowl of ice-cream. She was smiling like she had won a million Euros. He could even hear Xanxus laughing. "Oh you three. Remember; never get a Mafia woman angry!" "Oh shut up Lussuria!"

~x~

Well that's the first chapter for this ff. I think that there needs to be more Haru Xanxus'. I like most pairings with Haru anyway! Compliments and criticisms please!
