~Next day~
"I'm sorry for not being of help, Boss."

Gokudera was seen bowing before Homura as they were now in Hargeon. He explained that he was forced to eat Bianchi's cooking since he was younger, despite how awful it was. Considering that almost everything she touches becomes poison cooking, it made things difficult. Now whenever she shows up, his stomach churns from the past trauma.

"It's fine, Gokudera. You can stop bowing now. Though why are you accompanying me? I'm just getting some ingredients for dinner."

"Simple. Because i'm you're right hand man. Plus.....considering Sis basically now has to live with you, I figured its safer I come with you to get ingredients than her. Though since she's watching that Stupid Cow since he has no where else to go, I guess it works out."

"He has a point, No Good Homura."

As Homura and Gokudera were walking, Reborn was walking on one of the railings to certain shops. As Homura and the group made it to the shop, Gokudera said goodbye as he went home. While this happened, Reborn suddenly stopped walking as he was looking forward.

"You can come out now."

"Yay. I finally caught up with you!!! Nice to meet you, i'm Haru Miura!!!!"

"I know this is sudden but....after we first met, I just wanted to ask you......"

"Wait a minute. She was at Hargeon when Gokudera first attacked me. I remember putting out the dynamite near her and Reborn. Wait...is it possible she....."

"Will you be my friend, Reborn?!"

"Sure, why not."

Homura stood still as he was completely silent. To think a cute girl would rather be friends with a baby than him. If he had any small shred confidence, it just went out of the window and got set on fire.

"Reborn, I know this may be out of the blue but..can I hug you?!"

"Don't be so quick to touch me."

"I'm a hitman after all."

"Hitman?"

"Reborn! That's eno-"

The sound of a slap echoes through the area. Haru had an angry look on her face, meanwhile, Homura had a hand print on the left side of his face as he was trying to process what just happened.

"You monster. What are you teaching him, assassination techniques?! Babies are angels with pure white hearts! Are you destroying that lovely pureness with your rotten heart?!"

"What the hell is she on about?!"

"It's not like that!!! There's a misunderstanding!!! I'm not teaching him assassination techniques!!!!"

Homura was happy that Reborn jumped in. Maybe if Haru hears the truth from him, it could make the tension in this situation go away.

"I have to raise Homura to become the 10th boss of the mafia. I can't leave his side until then."

"What's up with this mafia stuff?! You even restricted Reborn's freedom!!!!"

"Was punching me even necessary?!"

"Hey listen Ha-"

"Bye, Reborn."

After happily saying goodbye to Reborn, Haru walked away as she was trying to find a way to "save" Reborn from Homura. While this happened, Reborn walked towards Homura.

"You two get along well. Almost like a married couple."

"One that's about to get divorced!!!!"

~Nighttime~
Haru was walking home as she was trying to think of a way to save Reborn. While she was walking, she couldn't help but be happy that she became friends with Reborn at least.

"Reborn. Don't worry, I will set you free!!!"

"You and I think just alike."

As Haru was walking, she saw Bianchi walking towards her. Soon the young lady held Haru's hand as she took her to a noodles shop as they ate together. Soon they both began to talk to each other.

"Reborn is such a cutie, isn't he?"

"Yes, he's wonderful."

"But that Homura guy has to involve Reborn in some sort of hitman game."

"Reborn is the best hitman out there."

A moment of silence filled the air. Haru slowly turned her head towards Bianchi. When she looked at Bianchi, she saw a tear in the woman's eyes as she was blushing.

"Ah...I can never forget about the thrilling assassination days."

"What you said was all true?!"

~The Next Day~
Homura is seen walking around Hargeon. This is one of the rare occasions when he gets a day off. Though he sweatdrops as he remembers the reason why Mira allowed this.

"You already have Reborn as a tutor. Plus he forces you to do the paperwork with master everytime the guild causes property damage. If you work while having to do that you'll look just like master despite being so young."

"I know Mira was trying to be nice, but why did it feel like I was being insulted as well?"

As Homura was saying this, he was walking across a small bridge over a canal. While he did this, he felt like he was being followed. When he turned around, he saw Haru dressed up in armor with a helmet in her left hand and a hockey stick in her right.

"WHAT ARE YOU-----?!"

"I'm Haru, who couldn't sleep last night because of all the thoughts I had."

"YOU DRESS LIKE THIS WHEN YOU HAVE TOO MUCH ON YOUR MIND AND LACK SLEEP?!"

"OF COURSE NOT!!! THAT WOULD MAKE ME A COMPLETE IDIOT!!!! If Reborn is real a hitman then I think you, who will be a mafia boss, are very strong, Homura. If you're strong, i'll believe Reborn and won't complain about anything in his life. So...please have a match with me!!!!"

Soon Haru put the helmet on as she swung the hockey stick at Homura. The boy quickly stepped to the side to avoid it, but it was a close call.

"She's crazy!!!! All of this over a misunderstanding. Why does this happen to me?!"

As Homura was dodging Haru's strikes, Gokudera was seen walking through on the other side of the bridge as he was just finished with his lunch. However, he heard a familiar voice screaming out. When he looked to the side, he saw a masked figure striking at Homura.

"Boss!!!!"

"Is that a disposable hitman from somewhere?"

"You're safe now, Boss."

"I appreciate the thought, but where did she go?"

"H---help me!!!!"

As Homura and Gokudera looked on the side of the bridge, they saw Haru had fallen into the canal. She was struggling to swim out to the side since her armor was too heavy. As this happened, a single figure was seen walking onto the bridge with Leon transforming.

"She's crazy...she even attacked me out of a misunderstanding...but even still....."

Gokudera and Reborn's eyes slightly widen as they saw Homura jump into the water. As Homura got in the water, he swam underneath Haru. As the boy got up, the girl's body was laying on his back.

"I can't let her die!! Unlike me, she always gives her best when she has a goal in mind. Someone like her has a far bigger role in this world than a loser like me. But more than that....i'll never forgive myself if I let her die!!!"

"HOLD ON TO ME, HARU!!!!! I'LL SAVE YOU AS IF I WERE TO DIE!!!!"

"Homura......"

As Homura was swimming to the other side with all of his might, Haru did as he said and held onto him. Meanwhile, Reborn and Gokudera reached the bank of the canal where Homura was swimming too. Soon Homura made it to where Reborn and Gokudera were standing. As Reborn got Haru off of Homura's back and held out some towels, he was thinking to himself as Gokudera pulled Homura up.

"He went in to save her, even without me using a Dying Will Bullet on him. Looks like he's slowly trying not to rely on it."

"Thank you very much...."

"Did you even think about your actions? If something happened to the Boss, you wouldn't exist in this world."

"That's enough, Gokudera."

"H-"

Gokudera and Homura both looked at Haru as they heard the girl trying to say something. Soon Haru quickly stood up as she was recalling what just happened.

"HOLD ON TO ME, HARU!!! I'LL SAVE YOU AS IF I WERE TO DIE!!!! I thought such cheesy lines only happened in books and plays!"

"She's not reflecting on her actions!!!!"

"Stop copying me from earlier, it's embarrassing."

"It was very wonderful.....my heart is pounding. I can say i've fallen in love with Homura!!"

"What?!?!?!"

Soon Haru ran towards Homura in an attempt to hug him. Soon Homura ran off as Haru chased him. Meanwhile Gokudera had expression on his face that was saying "Is this girl stupid?" as he went to save Homura from her. As this all happened, Reborn smiled as he walked home.

~Meanwhile~
A young boy was seen carrying a girl on his back as they were heading for Magnolia. The girl was five-years old wearing a red cheongsam-style shirt with white sleeve cuffs over dark shorts. She had black hair tied in single braid that stands upright.

The girl was having trouble breathing as her face was hot and red. The boy who was carrying her, looked at her in concern. He has short light brown hair and large, dark brown eyes and he wore a light green shirt with a white collar and white cuffs.

"Don't worry, I-Pin. I know he's here. The person who can heal you is here!"
