Genesis - Katekyo Hitman Reborn - Chapter 02

Summary: There was a reason why Reborn got Haru involved with the Mafia. Even if she was useless to them in fights and even if she couldn't provide as much emotional strength as Kyoko, she was vital and without her, there would just be no Vongola. G86/GiottoHaru

My lack of KHR knowledge might make some things untrue or some characters OOC and I guess I'll explain some stuff at the end of the chapter, just so I won't spoil things! XD

I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn because if I did, there would be a lot more Haru loving!

Please forgive any mistakes, both character-wise and grammatically wise. lol, i still don't understand the beta system thing and I don't really have time to re-read and edit things.

AN: THE LONG WAIT IS OVER! ....hope it lives up to people's expectations... TT^TT

Genesis: Chapter 02

Haru stared in awe at the thick book in her hand, holding it gently as though she could practically feel the importance of it resonating into her fingertips. Reborn stood below her with his all too familiar grin on his face as he watched Haru, with careful hands, slowly open the book.

“R-Reborn-chan?” Haru stammered.

“This is an important job that I’m giving to you,” he explained, jumping on top of the nearby table so that they could see eye-to-eye. “I can’t trust anyone but you on this.”

“B-But why Haru?” she still couldn’t understand why Reborn-chan would do something like hand her a book that wrote down the entire history of the Vongola. Knowing the enemy was one of the fundamental ways of destroying said enemy, so if this book was to end up in the hands of the wrong people, Vongola could easily take on a fatal blow.

“Trust me on this,” he said as Haru clutched the book tightly to her chest. “You of all people need to understand the history of the Vongola.”

She still couldn’t understand Reborn-chan’s motive, but she heard the seriousness in his voice and gulped loudly. Reborn-chan was entrusting her with this important book... and there was no way she didn’t trust Reborn-chan. He was the one who taught Tsuna-san on how to be strong and, not to mention, he was a mere child!

An extraordinary child, but still an innocent child.

Inhaling deeply to calm her nerves, Haru nodded. “Haru will do her best!"

---

Her vision was blurry as she slowly opened her eyes. Haru whimpered at the feel of the pounding headache in her head and how the world seemed to be moving beneath her. Unconsciously, Haru clutched onto the person she was holding onto only to freeze.

S-She was on someone’s back?

With fear seizing her heart, Haru began to struggle, trying to ignore the nausea and the weakness in her limbs. And to make matters worse, Haru felt the tears starting to appear in the corner of her eyes.

Why was this happening to her?

What was going on?

The last thing she remembered...

She couldn’t stop the gasp as she momentarily stilled.

The memory was so vivid...

The wind blowing gently as it caressed the wild mane of gold...

The curious and shock stained two-toned eyes...

Haru shrieked when, whoever she was holding onto, lost their balance and the two came tumbling down onto the floor. She winced when her head hit the ground, but since it was dirt and not cement, the pain wasn’t as strong as it could be. However, the pain didn’t even register in her mind. The fact that the nausea she felt had doubled didn’t even come across her mind. 

The mesmerizing two-toned eyes that held a fire that made her breath still and the sun-kissed skin that held a strong, healthy glow. His hair was wild and untamed, growing wildly around his hair just like...

Like...

Tsuna-san....

The tears that had been appear resumed and Haru couldn’t stop the sob that escaped her. She reached up and covered her eyes streaming with tears, wanting to hide away from those strong eyes that reminded her of Tsuna-san... her past...

Just where was she?

She wasn’t stupid. There were times when she was oblivious, but being naïve didn’t mean she was unintelligent. Haru knew all too well she was in the past, much further than her own timeline, but the question was why? Had it been on accident?

But the signs she had noticed before arriving here made it painfully obvious of the truth.

Shouchi’s sad smile...

Reborn-chan and the book containing Vongola’s entire history...

Haru sniffled, wanting the tears to stop already. She had already learned that crying won’t solve anything... but at least back in the way future, she had Tsuna-san and the others to rely on. She had friends to depend on and talk to, but here, she had no one.

She was all alone.

A cool hand gently touched her hand and Haru gasped. Pulling her hands away from her eyes, Haru’s heart clenched when she saw the two-toned eyes. They appeared concerned and Haru felt him brush her cheeks softly with the back of his hand softly, wiping away her tears. He began to speak, but Haru couldn’t understand what he was saying.

But the calm, deep tenured voice of his was so soothing...

“G-Giotto-sama,” Haru whispered miserably and she felt him still on top of her. The flush on her face that had appeared due to her tears deepened and this time, for different reasons. Haru had forgotten that they had fallen on top of each other. She was about to ask him to get off when he began to speak again.

This time, his voice was urgent and questioning, but she still couldn’t understand what he was saying.

“W-Wait, wait!” she cried out. “I-I don’t understand what you’re saying!”

Her confusion seemed to reach him as he stopped speaking. Giotto frowned and appeared to be deep in thought, as though trying to find a way to reach her with his words.

“S-Sorry, but can you p-please get o-off of me?” Haru asked weakly.

He blinked at her and Haru sighed. She placed her hands on his chest and began to slowly push against him. Understanding what it was she wanted, he gave her a smile and a nod before rolling to the side off of her. Haru sat up quickly, clutching her beating heart. How could he do something like that and be so unaffected?!

Haru internally shook her head. Now wasn’t the time to be thinking about stuff like that. There were more important things to consider.

Carefully, Haru snuck a glance towards Giotto only to give out a small ‘eep’ when she realized that he had beaten her to the punch and was openly staring at her. Haru felt the blush that had yet to go away grow even brighter and tightened the fist over her heart.

What was she supposed to do in this situation?

For goodness sake, they can’t even communicate with each other!

She was brought out of her panic when she saw Giotto point to himself.

“Giotto,” he said carefully before pointing at her.

Haru stared dumbly at his finger before the epiphany hit her. “Oh! Y-You want to know my name. Um...” she pointed at herself. “Miura Haru.”

Giotto stared at her for several seconds before awkwardly stating her name. “Miura... Haru...”

Haru nodded eagerly. “Yes, Haru is Haru!”

There was a pause in the air and Haru could already see the confusion in Giotto’s eyes. “Miura Haru... Haru?”

Oh gods, the blush on Haru’s face grew even more. At this rate, she was going to be permanently red. Not only did she cause him to become confused, he’d called her by her first name only...

Haru shook her head. “N-No, Haru... I... uh...”

There was no way she could explain to him the complexities of formal honorifics and suffixes that meant close relationships. And there was the fact that she could no longer refer to herself as Haru...

‘Suck it up, Miura!’ she scolded herself. ‘You’ve endured staying in the dangerous future, you can surely adapt to this!’

Haru pointed to herself again. “Haru.”

Giotto looked at her. “Miura Haru?”

Haru shook her head. “Haru.”

Perhaps it would also be best to abandon her last name. She was in the past, after all. Then a crazy thought went through Haru’s head. Wouldn’t it be funny if she were to meet her ancestors? ...that is... if she ever got out of Italy... if this was even Italy...

There were too many things she didn’t know! That reminder only caused a stab of terror to hit her. She was all alone in the past. This time, there wasn’t Tsuna-san, Reborn-chan, or anyone to support her.

But...

Haru stole a glimpse of Giotto.

But she had him... right?

The expression on Giotto’s face changed and Haru looked at him in confusion only to notice his glance downwards. Haru looked down and yelped, realizing that she had unconsciously clutched onto his sleeve. Releasing him immediately as though the touch had burned, Haru crawled backwards until she crashed into a tree.

“I-I’m sorry!” she cried. “I-I didn’t mean to... I... I mean...”

Oh gods, she was crying again. Why was she crying again? Didn’t she just recently say to herself that she wasn’t going to cry?

But this was all too much for a normal middle-school student like herself to handle!

Haru sniffled and rubbed her eyes, wishing for the stupid tears to stop.

This was all too hard...

And it was especially hard because she was all alone this time...

Haru paused and looked upward when a shadow descended upon her. Giotto stood in front of her with the sun blazing behind him. The light of the sun added a glow to his already radiant blonde hair and his already sharpening features of maturity added a regal look about him. He kneeled before her and once again touched the side of her cheek, wiping the tears away.

Haru choked back the sob when he gave her an encouraging smile.

No...

That was wrong.

She wasn’t alone.

This time...

...she had him.

AN: I think... my brain died a little.... @x@

Hope you guys like it~

And now to explain how I'm planning on writing Genesis. I've decided that it's gonna be border-line PWP, but in actuality, there is a plot, in the sense that it'll be following a made-up story of the life of the Primo. However, it's PWP in that it's like taking the scenic route... kinda like having connected one-shots. ^^ Sometimes the chapters will be long, sometimes the chapters will be short. Er... I guess you'll have to read to actually grasp what I'm saying if what I said was confusing. Haha.

Don't worry, it may seem gloomy right now, but I tend to add a lot, and I mean A LOT, of fluff. :3 Stay tuned for the next chapter~ !

EDIT: Note to the first comment! @x@ I was told that PWP meant Plot? What Plot? ....not... that....
