Teach Me Love - Chapter 15

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

My lack of KHR knowledge might make some things untrue or some characters OOC! 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.  I don't really have time to re-read and edit things.

This chapter is dedicated to xxDevilsAngel28xx! Happy belated Birthday! Hope you enjoy the chapter!

I'm off to write the next chapter of Ambigram~!

Chapter Fifteen: Amusement Park Fun

“Bianchi-san, Haru is even more confused than before now.” Haru said with a bow of her head, staring at the steaming cup of tea that had been offered to her. The fiasco between Yamamoto and Hibari had nearly destroyed the dojo and it had concluded with Haru realizing her feelings... or the possibility of what she was feeling. In all honesty, Haru hadn’t really experienced true love herself.

Sure, in the past she had always claimed to like Tsuna-san, but that was just it! Like! Like was completely different from love!

It made her feel so foolish, especially because of how proudly she had boasted to Hibari about the power of love. She still believed that love was a powerful force... but she must have been out of her mind saying she’ll teach Hibari about love when she only knew about it in theory.

Bianchi took a sip of her tea. “Are you sure about your feelings?”

“Th-That’s the thing!” Haru said quickly. “Haru... Haru knows she feels something when she’s with Kyoya, but is it love? Is that the answer?”

“What about Tsuna-kun?” Bianchi inquired and noticed the look of conflict on Haru’s face. “You said you’re finally over him?”

“I-I don’t think I can even say there was really anything between us for there to be ‘over’.” Haru mumbled, fiddling with the handle of her cup. It had always been her declaring that she liked him, after all.

“Have you ever confessed to him?”

Haru blushed and stared at Bianchi wide-eyed. “Hahi?”

“You didn’t hide much when it came to your affection for him,” Bianchi said in amusement as Haru nearly knocked over her tea at Bianchi's blunt words. “But have you ever really confessed to him? If you haven’t even told him how you really felt, you can’t truly put an end to things between you two.”

“B-But that’ll just be Haru imposing on Tsuna-san!” Haru’s face became downcast once more. “Haru knows that Tsuna-san likes Kyoko-chan. It’ll only be a burden to him if I were to c-confess.”

“Really? I would think it would be another maturing point for him.” Bianchi replied calmly. While she did believe one had to be considerate towards the person they liked, the object of their affection always needed to have these sorts of experiences so that they could also be more attentive of the people they are with. After all... one-sided love was one of the most painful things in the world.

Haru sighed, the depression heavy on her shoulders when suddenly she abruptly stood up. “I’m going to do it Bianchi-san!”

The older woman looked at her in surprise. “Do what?”

“Haru is tired of always sitting around and thinking! I have to take action now!” she answered firmly. “Thank you for your help Bianchi-san, I think I know what to do now.”

Bianchi’s eyes widened as Haru suddenly stormed out of the kitchen. “W-Wait a minute! Don’t be rash-!”

Her cries fell to deaf ears. Haru ran up the stairs and to the door that would lead to Tsuna’s room. The more polite thing would have been to knock, but she was in too much of a hurry. With a rushed ‘excuse me’, she slammed the door open.

Gokudera, who had taken a bite out of a rice cracker, choked as it fell into the wrong hole while Tsuna fell backwards in surprise at the suddenly slamming of the door. Confused brown eyes turned towards where Haru stood. “H-Haru-chan, what are you-?”

“Tsuna-san,” Haru began before taking a deep breath. “Let’s go on a date together!”

Gokudera promptly started choking all over again as he swallowed the cracker wrong.

Meanwhile, Tsuna’s face turned into a bright shade of red as he held up his hands defensively. “Eh? What-What are you saying Haru-chan?”

“Haru recently got tickets to an amusement park and wants Tsuna-san to go with her!” she boldly proclaimed, pulling out a ticket from inside her pocket. She shoved it into his hand and ran out the door, her words echoing in the hallway. “She’ll see you tomorrow at nine in front of the park entrance!”

“Wait a second!” Tsuna yelled, but she was already out of the house.

Gokudera, who had finally dislodged the cracker, wheezed out. “What the hell was that about?”

The next day was a nice Saturday morning with blue skies. Many couples were holding hands as they walked towards the amusement park entrance. It was one of the hottest attractions due to how it had one of the biggest Ferris Wheels in the district, letting riders get a beautiful view of their surroundings. There were also several kids that were excitedly dragging their parents.

But amidst the happiness, Haru stood underneath a nearby tree, her heart pounding with fright.

Hahi, she was an idiot!

She should have listened to Bianchi-san about not being rash before she had made her decision!

...but it was true that Haru was tired of sitting around. And it wasn’t like she had made the decision without thinking about it. Her emotions were jumbled up and it was confusing her. The only way to get out of her situation was if she settled everything.

Haru jumped a little when she heard her name being called and slowly turned her head.

Standing a few feet away was Tsuna-san. His hair was a bushy mess as usual and it wasn’t as though he had particularly dressed for the occasion, but Haru felt her face blush and the pounding of her heart grow. The faintest pang occurred in her heart and she touched her chest.

So the feeling wasn’t completely gone then... did this mean she hadn’t felt it before because she was too busy thinking about Kyoya?

“Haru-chan?” Tsuna inquired in concern when she seemed to blank out.

She blinked and then shook her head to clear her mind. “Sorry! Thank you for accepting Haru’s selfish invitation.”

“No, no,” he rushed. “I was actually curious about this place since the news have been raving a lot about the Ferris Wheel here.”

“Haru heard about that too and that’s why she really wanted to get the tickets!” Haru said excitedly, momentarily forgetting her dilemma.

“How’d you end up with them, by the way? I heard that it was really hard to get them.”

She gave him a shy, enigmatic smile, but didn’t notice how he blushed when she did so. “Let’s just say that I have super-powered luck when it comes to lotteries.”

“R-Right,” he said nervously. Had Haru always been this cute? And she looked like she had dressed for this occasion, wearing a cute light pink colored dress and a cream colored jacket. Her hair was partially tied, allowing strands of her hair to frame her face. It wasn’t the first time Tsuna had seen her out of her uniform... but today felt different.

Could this really count as a date?

Oh man, he hadn’t been able to sleep last night, too busy thinking about why Haru had decided to ask him out.

“Let’s go!” Haru said eagerly, grabbing him by the arm and taking him towards the entrance.

Tsuna nearly fainted at how close she had pulled him towards her. Was she also wearing perfume? No, no, wait, the scent was familiar. It was something that had always tingled the edges of his senses whenever he was near her, especially when he helped her stretch before training.

The panic Tsuna felt was echoed by Haru who was frantically wondering in her head if she was being too bold by grabbing his arm. It made them really seem like a c-c-couple!

...wait, did this mean she was cheating on Kyoya?

That thought was promptly shut out of her mind.

She was not cheating on him because there wasn’t anything between them! Sure they k-kissed, but he never made his intentions clear with her and that was completely unfair to her. Besides, it wasn’t as though she had asked Tsuna out to make him her boyfriend...

No, there was a reason why she had called him out like this.

The pair was too consumed with their own worries and trying to prevent the other from realizing just how nerve-wrecked they were that they didn’t notice that from a few yards behind them, a certain silver haired boy was following them.

“Stupid woman,” Gokudera grumbled, peering through his dark shades. He kept the edge of the black cap on his head low so that his identity wouldn’t easily be given away. “Just what the hell is she planning to do with Decimo?”

And how dare she ignore him as though he didn’t exist when she had so shamelessly thrown herself onto his boss?

Him following around the two was also not suspicious! He was doing it to protect Decimo from that crazy girl! And he didn’t think Haru looked cute either, dressed up in that promiscuous dress that came all the way to her knees!

Grumbling, he began to follow the two, having managed to buy a ticket after convincing his sister to help him out a little. It also irked him when she had given the ticket while giving him a look that was a mixture of pity and encouragement.

“Your sister will always support you, even when you’re dumped!”

What the hell was that supposed to mean?!

From another angle of the park, a tall statured man with three piercings on his lower lip and a tattoo that seemed to be out of control from his face to his body spoke into the mike hidden in his collar.

“I see the girl. She’s with another boy, different from the Prefect.” There was a pause as he received information before he smiled, revealing the crooked teeth and the long slithering tongue. “Thank you Hideo-sama, you won’t be disappointed.”

Finally, his favorite type of game.

A game where there was no mercy towards strangers...

Anything goes as long as the target was caught.
