Summary: Seeing memories of someone else from her childhood and up till now, Haru has a chance meeting with a man who is always present inside those moments. Now, the young woman sets off on her own personal journey to reunite two hearts. But what of the girl that the memories they belong to? What of her heart?

(A/N: Hopefully this will be a quick short story. I'm always writing something new, I swear. Who else has this problem!? Lol.)

Haru sighed.

It was one thing to be accused of being an idiot, but to be accused over and over and over and over again by the same person really takes a toll on someone. Haru sat in a swing set at park near Midori High. It was turning dark, the rays of pink, purple and orange were turning into a dusty blue sky. All of her friends-the Vongola to be precise-were at Namimori Park. Haru would have loved to be there with everyone but she didn't feel like hanging out with Hayato.

There was only so much of him she could take.

Here alone, Haru placed her school bag next to her and softly started swinging herself. She made sure to kick the wood chips under her feet every time they made contact with the ground. In her lap was her phone which buzzed every five seconds. There was no doubt in Haru's mind that it was Kyoko and Chrome who were texting and calling her, asking her to come back.

She left earlier in rage because of Hayato.

Haru blushed at the memory before groaning. Slapping her cheeks a bit, the brunette quickly silenced her phone. "Sorry Kyoko-chan, Chrome-chan." Muttered Haru under her breath. Suddenly, her eyes started hurting. Oh shoot. She tries to rub the pain away but knew it was all in vain as soon as her vision turned black.

"Skye!" A voice called out. A girl of fourteen turns around and grins at the sight. Running towards her is a boy just a few days younger than her. He has short, dark wavy hair and a dimple on his face. She runs towards him and they meet up in a tight hug.

"Angelo!" She announced with joy as she hugged him tight around the neck. Angelo wraps his arms around her waist and hugs her tightly to him. Skye is an averaged sized girl with smooth, bronze skin. A waterfall of black hair travels down her back and ends at the middle of her waist. She's dressed in a royal blue dress with white and pink designs. Angelo is wearing dark jeans and a plain white shirt. He's covered in oil and dirt and grease but it doesn't take away from his charismatic aura.

"Skye." He whispers in her ear, his voice sultry and deep. A weird feeling tumbles in Skye's stomach at this. She's never heard Angelo's voice like this before and it makes her spine tingle. Despite this new found feeling, she tears away from her dear friend's embrace and places him at arm length's away.

"Angelo, tell me how your first day went." She says in an excited voice. Angelo smiles gently at Skye and the girl tilts her head. There's a look in his eyes she feels like she's seen in him before. But they were mere glances compared to now. His gaze is tender and affectionate, as if he just found out something new. She wants to ask why he seems different but feels like if she heard the answer, she'd be too immature to know.

Angelo always seemed to know more things beyond his years anyways. And knowing him, he would tell her once he felt she was ready. And so with the question stuck in her throat, Angelo tells her about his first day working under a mechanic.

With her vision coming back, Haru suddenly feels tired. Her shoulders sag a bit as she finishes rubbing her eyes. A slight headache overcomes her and she stops swinging.

"Ciaossu!" A voice before her says. Haru looks up quickly in slight surprise to see Reborn by himself. What used to be a baby is now a little boy. Reborn's body is nearing seven years old and he's still the most adorable little kid she's seen. He still wears a tux and his fedora hat. His side burns are swirlier than ever. Despite his looks though, Reborn has a mighty aura and there's something dark about him. With his pitch black eyes, Haru gulps.

Reborn's eyes soften immediately. "Don't be scared of me Haru." The little boy walks over to her and climbs into her lap. Haru doesn't protest and instead steadies him as he almost topples over. "I came to check up on you, did Vongola's Storm Guardian upset you that much? I can teach him a lesson." He offers.

This makes Haru giggle but she declines. She's grateful for the offer but as much as she can't stand Hayato at times, punishment under Reborn might as well be a death sentence (or something very close to it). "Thanks Reborn-chan." She cuddles him closer to her and sighs. "But Haru is okay."

Reborn says nothing and he stays silent. It's quiet between the two of them. It's not awkward, thankfully. Haru finds comfort in their silence and she's even more grateful that little Reborn had searched for her himself and offer his companionship.

The skies continue to grow darker and Haru's phone keeps lighting up. Reborn doesn't glance at it but instead looks up at the nineteen year old. There's a dazed and faraway look in her eyes. It's almost as if Haru wasn't herself and was someone else. Interesting. He thinks. The brunette is so out of it, she doesn't notice Reborn jumping off her lap and grabbing her phone.

He looks through it and isn't surprised to see calls and texts from Kyoko and Chrome. There's tons of them and they're all along the lines of asking where she is, how is she, is she coming back, and that they've scolded Hayato dearly.

The boy snorts. He was there not too long ago. Kyoko and Chrome did more than just a scold the Italian man. They tore his pride apart in front of everyone.

However, keeping that tidbit on information to himself, Reborn hops back onto Haru's lap. "Haru." He says. Shaking out of her stupor, the woman looks to Reborn.

"Yes, what is it?" She hums in response.

"Do you want to go back?" He questions, curious. She shakes her head to decline and the little boy nods his head. "Then I will see you off home." Haru smiles at this and presses a kiss at the top of Reborn's forehead. It was so cute how Reborn cared so much for her. It wasn't everyday he showed it, but when he did, Haru loved to show it off in front of everyone's face. It wasn't like they could say anything to her then since Reborn would be by her side.

And who else could say that they could do even half the things she has done to Reborn and not get away unscathed?

No one.

Getting off the swing, Haru grabs her phone from the floor and dusts it off. She lets Reborn go through her phone, showing the trust they have in each other. Besides, there was a game in there he really liked to play. Haru downloaded it once she found out. Reborn grabbed Haru's hand and she cooed at him. The little boy snorted and looked away. The woman raised a brow at this.

Is he being shy? She wonders to herself. Haru stifles a giggle back down her throat. That's so cute! Grinning, Haru lets Reborn walk her back to her apartment. It's not too far away and the two fall into light conversation. They talk about the mafia, how Haru is doing in school, about Hayato and his still-just-as-bad personality, they even talk about Tsuna.

It's warm being with Reborn and talking with him. She didn't know she needed it until she reached her door. Slowly, Haru turns to Reborn. "Thanks for walking Haru back home."

"It's nothing." Says Reborn as he grins at Haru. "I'm taking Tsuna and the others to Italy next week. Come with us?" He asks out of courtesy. Haru's eyes turn into stars at this.

Excited, she asked in a rush;"I get to go this time?!" The young woman is nearly jumping up and down on her two feet. Reborn smiled to himself at this, glad to have lift up her spirits.

"Yeah. And if dame Tsuna has any say, I'll deal with him." Haru squeals at this and hurriedly place an abundant of kisses along Reborn's face. Despite his wishes, Reborn's cheeks turned pink. Apparently, it didn't matter if you were a hitman. No seven year old could resist the charms of a beautiful girl like Haru. "That's enough." Reborn, bashful, mutters. Haru lets go and opens the door to her apartment.

"When are we leaving?" She asks before entering.

"Next week. I'll see you then Haru. Ciaossu!" Reborn bids her farewell and walks away from her. Haru doesn't enter her home until she can't see Reborn anymore. A certain kind of giddiness bubbles up inside her at the thought of Italy.

The things she could do there. The foods she can eat, clothes she can see, Rome, buildings, flowers, pizza and men. The brunette is so excited that she can barely contain herself. I'm finally going to go with them! It's been so long since she's last asked to go with the Vongola to Italy. The last time didn't end so well, courtesy to Tsuna and Hayato. That had been over a year ago and it's something Haru has never asked of again.

But with Reborn's assurance that she can go, Haru is thrilled all over again. So thrilled that she finds it hard to sleep that very night.

(A/N: What Haru doesn't know is that Reborn has a wretched little kid's crush on her. Meh, he's sure he'll grow out of it. Buaha!)
