Summary: "Show me this so-called greatness of the power of love," Hibari ordered. "Fall in love with me." Haru could only stupidly gawk at him. Just what the heck did she get herself involved in? HaruxMultiple Pairings
Haha, once again, I did not proof-read or anything. My lack of KHR knowledge might also make a lot of people seem OOC. I apologize for this once again, but I hope you enjoy the fic!
I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn... but if I did, there would be A LOT more Haru time. XD
Chapter One: The Demand
HappyFace1886
Sharp eyes observed the nervous brown haired boy who spoke in a high-pitched voice, an obvious sign of anxiety, before the auburn haired girl who smiled sweetly at him. The small herbivore was making a poor attempt to impress the girl. Kyoya Hibari remained motionless in his perch on the rooftop as he watched behind the fence at Sawada Tsunayoshi, the next heir to the powerful Vongola Organization, nearly wet himself trying to win the girl he had a crush over.
It baffled him as to why the baby -Reborn- would waste his time with such a weak herbivore, but the memory of the powerful Tsuna was still fresh in his mind. His eyes had been glowing in the same eerie shade as his hands as he fought the scar-faced man whose name Hibari had not bothered to remember. There was such power, such potential within the one named Sawada Tsunayoshi and in a way, Hibari understood why the baby stayed with him, but when he saw Sawada nearly tripping over his own feet over one weak girl, doubt and confusion would rise.
"Tsuna-san?" Hibari lazily tilted his head towards the direction of where the door to the stairway was and saw a head poking through. A petite girl peered around curiously and called out. "Tsuna-san? Are you here?"
"Girl," he began and she squeaked, having not noticed his presence. "Those clothes... you are not a student of this school and yet you intrude upon the grounds of Namimori Junior High. Since you are not under my immediate jurisdiction, I'll give you ten seconds to either explain to me as to why you are here or to leave me with the choice of biting you to death."
"Hahi!" the girl stepped backwards, feeling the blood-lust surrounding him. "H-Haru was only looking for T-Tsuna-san! H-Haru didn't mean to do anything w-wrong! P-Please don't b-bite me to death!"
"You are looking for Sawada Tsunayoshi?" the grip he had on the tonfas that had appeared within his hands loosened. This girl was obviously weak and was no threat what-so-ever. She nodded fervently at his question. "School regulations dictate that interaction amongst students from different schools should take place during after-school hours. What is your business with Sawada?"
Haru was starting to get a bit miffed by the interrogation as she crossed her arms and looked away in a huff, the initial fear fading and replaced with anger. Couldn't he be more polite if he wanted to know why she was here? "I only wanted to give Tsuna-san his lunch because I heard from Reborn-chan that Tsuna-san woke up late and forgot to take this bento. He didn't even eat breakfast! That's not healthy since he's still growing!"
"You know the baby?" Hibari's interest was piqued for a brief moment.
"Hai!" she said cheerfully, her distaste for him immediately dissipating at the topic of the adorable baby that was always around her beloved Tsuna-san. "Reborn-chan is always with Tsuna-san! He's so cute and-."
The interest immediately disappeared as she began to go on and on about how wonderful Reborn was. Any information she had of Reborn was of no use to him and so, he returned his attention back on Tsuna who had somehow managed to trip over his own two feet. The girl with the short auburn haired floor hastily dropped to the floor, attempting to help him up, causing Tsuna to blush and stumble onto the ground again, this time with the girl. Hibari paused when he felt a presence beside him and saw the loud, annoying girl beside him.
"Tsuna-san is with Kyoko-chan again..." Haru said, her grip on the fence tightening. She bowed her head and remained silent for a brief moment before making a big smile. "Tsuna-san must really like Kyoko-chan since he's always falling on his face whenever he's with her!"
"Weak," Hibari commented on her words, remembering his previous thought process before she arrived. "Sawada is weak... yet he becomes strong whenever it concerns her."
"Of course!" Haru said passionately, her hands forming into fists as she threw one of them into the air. "Tsuna-san l-l-loves Kyoko-chan and... and true love conquers everything!"
"Love? What can an emotion do in the face of battle?" he asked, unimpressed by the passion she had over the power of love. "It can do nothing to help weak herbivores such as yourself under the might of a carnivore. In the end, nature will overcome all and the weak will be devoured by the strong."
"H-Herbivore?" Haru stammered, unsure as to how she should accept this metaphor, but decided to focus on the fact that this mysterious boy had dared to make fun of the power of love. There was nothing love couldn't beat! "How dare you say that? Nothing can beat the power of true love! Whenever the person someone loves is in trouble, that someone will grow really strong in order to protect the person they love! Love is how... how weak herbivores can beat carnivores!"
She was panting by the done she was done with her speech when she realized just what she had done. She had yelled at the scary boy with the tonfas who had threatened to 'bite her to death' if she angered him! A part of her wanted to apologize frantically in hopes that he would forgive her and leave her in one piece, but the strong supporter of all that's good and true refused to give up. So, Haru remained stuck, glaring at the boy who was staring at her.
The first thing that went through Hibari's mind was that this girl was extremely annoying and should be silenced, but then her words started to reach him. Love could make an herbivore stronger than a carnivore... He glanced at Sawada who was staring absentmindedly at where the auburn haired girl had previously been, obviously in a stupor that was finally broken only when the annoying cigarette smoking boy and the baseball fanatic appeared.
The flames that glowed in Sawada's palms...
The power resonating off of him...
Hibari suddenly turned back to the girl who jumped in surprise. "Show me."
"Hahi?" she squeaked again in surprise.
"Show me how this love can make an herbivore strong." he ordered.
"Wh-What? How am I supposed to do that?" Haru demanded, the rising fear forgotten due to his fanatical demand.
Hibari was stumped for a moment. He wanted to understand this emotion known as love so he would be able to analyze its abilities and put it under his use, but how? He could force this girl to show him the power of love by forcing her to love a weak herbivore and perhaps witness the greatness of this power of love, but then he wouldn't be able to understand why the transformation had occurred. He smirked when a solution came to mind.
"Fall in love with me." he said simply.
This time, Haru wasn't even able to come up with her usual cries of surprise. Instead, she gawked openly at him, almost allowing the backpack holding Tsuna-san's lunch to fall to the ground. Hibari decided to take her silence as acceptance.
"Then its decided." he said in firm resolution, completely oblivious to how Haru had literally turned into stone before him. "From this day forward, until you prove to me this Power of Love, you are mine."
