CHAPTER I

The weather made everything just perfect.

The sky was dark with clouds that didn't even let any sunlight to breach in.

It was dark and cold, mingled with the gloomy atmosphere at the funeral.

Ryohei was crying out loud for his sister, Chrome and Hana let out silent tears and Tsuna…

He eyed on the tombstone with Kyoko's name on it, without letting out a single tear.

It wasn't fair, some of them thought. Kyoko was just a sweet and innocent girl; she had no awareness of the cruelty of the outside world. She didn't deserve to die that way. The girl that Tsuna wanted to protect the most was now dead.

No one knew who would kill a girl like Kyoko, no one but Bianchi, Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Tsuna. All of Kyoko's friends attended the funeral, except for one.

While everyone was sharing their grief and sadness, Haru was alone and had no one to share that. Even though she didn't attend her best friend's funeral, no one was sadder than her. Of course, she wouldn't be there. Because it was an accident, she shot Kyoko to death.

But accident or no, it didn't deny the fact that she killed Kyoko by her own hands. She always felt she was a nobody in their lives and she just made it worse. In her dark room and on her own bed, she buried her face under her folded legs. The image of how she shot Kyoko kept haunting her.

She just wanted to protect her. They had been kidnapped by a group of Mafioso that wanted Tsuna's head. To protect herself and Kyoko, she pointed a gun that Reborn gave her a year ago at the mastermind, but she didn't know that he would grab Kyoko to be his shield. It didn't across her mind.

She would never forget the feeling, the sound of bang, the sight of Kyoko's holey forehead, the sensation when the bullet penetrated her head. She never stopped blaming herself for what happened. She had shot Tsuna's happiness.

Her face lifted up a bit, only her eyes were seen. It was so empty, as if she had given up on her life. And she had no parents to comfort her because they were dead since a week ago. They were killed when they were on a trip to Italy and it was assumed—or surely concluded that it was a mafia that killed them.

She was now alone in her house, with a help by her relative outside the town to help her daily expense, sending money to her every week. Personally, she didn't care about the money. It made no difference now that she had to live in her house alone. Kyoko had once offered her to move to her house, but Haru refused.

Her best friend broke her heart 11 months ago, and even if she hid it really well, the thought that she would have to live with her—no, she didn't want to feel that pain again, although she didn't blame Kyoko for it. She never did.

The dark sky started to become a rain as thunders made flash to her window. At the fourth flash, a figure stood outside and opened the window. When she heard the sound of the sliding window, she immediately looked and got surprised as she saw Tsuna.

"T-Tsuna-san…?"

As Tsuna walked to her, Haru shuddered over the eyes of rage and tears that stuck on his orange eyes. In an instant, he pinned her against the wall with eyes of resentment. He was losing his mind.

"I don't care if it was an accident! You shot the only girl I liked! If she never became friends with you, she won't have to die! No one wants you here, Haru! No one will care if you're gone and I'll prove it to you," flames started to burst from his hands. "I'll make you pay…"

-30 minutes later-

"Juudaime/Tsuna!" both Tsuna closest friends barged in, only to see the unbelievable sight of their kind friend had his hand on Haru's neck. Tsuna was choking her, almost to death. Gokudera couldn't believe his eyes; even though he didn't like Haru, Tsuna's action was as unforgivable as her—or in her case it was an accident, so she could be forgiven.

But he knew his boss, it was unmistakably on purpose.

"Juudaime, let go of her!" Gokudera shouted.

"I'll stop until she's dead." Tsuna said simply as he tightened his grip. Haru gripped his hand and tried to let it go from her, but her strength subdued to his strength.

Gokudera couldn't hurt Tsuna, he wouldn't. But to his surprise, Yamamoto hit Tsuna's nape and thus, made him collapsed.

"Anyway, I'll take Haru to the hospital. You get Tsuna back to his house." Yamamato carried the weakened Haru. Bruises all around her body as Gokudera looked at it. It was surely a result of someone's anger. He still didn't want to believe that Tsuna would hurt anyone, even her.

But his eyes snapped him out of his idealist thought. It was Tsuna's wrongdoings. And he didn't know how he should look at him when he woke up.

Dr. Shamal volunteered to attend Haru. He might be a pervert, but concerning his patients, he would prioritize his job above all else. Bandages were all around her body.

"You were lucky Yamamoto took you to me sooner, Haru-chan. Your wounds weren't deep, but you need to rest here for couple of days. But who would do this to a cute girl like you?"

Haru just stared at him on her bed as her head was rested on the pillow. "You can't lie to me, Dr. Shamal. Haru knows Yamamoto-san has told you." Dr. Shamal's face turned solemn as he heard that. "But Haru can't blame Tsuna-san. No one should."

He didn't respond to her statement. It was true he had heard about Kyoko from Yamamoto, but he was an outsider on that matter. His job was just to take care of her and not meddling with their business.

"11 months…" Haru mumbled. "They would celebrate their first year of anniversary. They were so happy. Up until this point Haru still loves Tsuna-san, but dating Kyoko-chan didn't make me sad. It's true it did hurt when Haru found that out, but… Haru was truly happy for them. As long as Tsuna-san's happy… everything doesn't matter."

He could hear the vibration in her tone; she was trying to act strong, and putting up that emotionless expression didn't fool him. It only needed her voice and trembling hands to know that she was having enormous amount of guilt, grief, and remorse. It was more than her heart could take. Her parents were dead, she had her heart broke into pieces knowing Tsuna didn't love her back, she accidentally killed her best friend, and Tsuna just had to make it worse.

If it was Reborn, he would snap Tsuna's mind in any extreme way he could, but Reborn wasn't here anymore. He had left right before Tsuna confessed to Kyoko, after he spoke his decision to Reborn that he would become the Vongola 10th to protect his friends.

If only Reborn knew about what Tsuna did to Haru, but he didn't. The eccentric, weird, lovable, and cheerful Haru, those unique personalities that she had as Miura Haru, it was all going to lose. This girl was trying to act strong for almost a year, she was crumbled a week ago, and perhaps now, shattered, Dr. Shamal thought as he silently stared at Haru.

Every time she put on a stronger barrier, a forced strength of emotion, it was cracked by an unfortunate events that had befell on her, but that didn't stop her from trying to hide her sorrow and kept acting strong. However she had reached her limit. She was going to lose her identity as the cheerful Haru everyone knew.

"It wasn't your fault, Haru-chan," he said. "You just brought her to her end faster. It was death that killed her; you were acting as a medium. After all, no matter how much medicines or hospitals has been made, death is forever and will always be inevitable." after saying that, he walked outside and then Yamamoto came in. He just stood near the hospital bed and gave off his usual smile to comfort her.

"So? How was it?" Yamamoto asked.

"What is?" Haru asked softly.

"Ah, I mean what did Dr. Shamal say?"

"He said it's nothing serious. Haru can go back home few days later."

"I see."

"Haru doesn't want to go back to that house."

"Eh? Why?"

Haru remained silent as she eyed on the window. Then, Yamamoto just remembered what had happened a week ago. The feeling of losing parents, Yamamoto knew that feeling, it was like the first time he travelled to the future, when he heard about his father's death. Just knowing it would happen in the future already stirred up his feelings, tearing him apart.

And it happened to Haru, in the present time.

"Senpai isn't mad at you, you know." he wanted to at least lightened up the mood, but it only made Haru turned her body to face the window and having her back on the door and him. He scratched his head over the confusion to find the perfect words. "Look, if Sasagawa were here, what would she do? She would probably mad at Tsuna for what he did to you. We don't blame you, Haru."

"And I'm sure Sasagawa didn't blame you, too," Haru flinched at that remark, but she didn't give a slightest reply. "I have to go home. See you later, Haru. Get well soon." with that, he left.

After the door was completely shut and she was alone in that room, for the first time after the accident, her eyes finally shed tears; her unspeakable pain. She didn't want to cry, she tried her best to hold on, but she couldn't. She didn't have the strength to do it anymore, not after Tsuna broke her. The tears that kept flowing like a waterfall, it was nothing but tears of regret that was meant for Tsuna, the tears that flowed for his sake.

"…I'm sorry, Tsuna-san…"

I don't know if it's interesting or what, it could be not, so I want to know your opinion.
