Okay, Hi everyone! This is my first fanfic ever writing in English. I really wanted to write a story in this website but thinking it'll be too hard to write one in English. However I made the courage to start it! Please forgive grammar mistakes.

Chapter 1. Birthday
A 6 year old little girl was looking outside the window. It was dark outside and the clock was already ticking to 9 p.m. The little girl rubs her two amethysts purple eyes with her small hands feeling tired and sleepy. But she couldn't sleep now. Today was December 5th her birthday. She didn't have any birthday party or birthday gifts since her parents were busy today. They went out early in the morning and haven't come back till now. Her father seemed like he doesn't care or even knows today was his daughter's birthday. The little girl already knows her father wasn't interest in her. It made her feel sad and hurt that her father doesn't care for her.
But unlike her father, her mother Erica loves and cares for her. She's just not here today because she is busy with her work. Erica was an actress, not famous yet but had talent and was working hard to become a famous actress one day. The little girl understands her mother's dream, so even when she's just a little girl, she didn't complain that Erica wasn't home all day at her birthday. Only hopefully wishing her mother will bring a birthday present for her. This was why she wasn't still in bed and keeps looking out of the window searching for any cars that will stop in front of the house.
"Meow."
A black cat came next to the girl asking to stroke her fur. The little girl gave a faint smile to the cat and began to stroke the black cat. The cat was the only one who was next to her and made her feel less lonely today.
Suddenly the little girl's head jerked up and looked out the window. She just heard a car stopping in front of the house. Even though it was dark the girl could see who was coming out of the car. It wasn't her father but her mother! The little girl immediately ran outside without wearing any coat or shoes. She ran as fast as she could to her mother.
"Mommy!"
The little girl ran to her mother with her arms wide open. Erica gave a warm smile to her daughter and embraced her with her two arms. Erica was surprised noticing that her daughter wasn't wearing any coat or shoes. For God shake it was December and it was freezing cold outside!
"Nagi, you're going to catch a cold!"
However Nagi didn't care how cold it was. Just being hugged by her mother made her feel so warm inside. Erica lifted Nagi into her arms and walked inside the house. Nagi was a small and fragile child that even a tired woman who just came back from work can easily carry her. This made Erica heart heavy. Even though Nagi was born as a small and weak child, Erica felt this was all her fault that Nagi was smaller than her natural age, because she couldn't take care of her properly.
It's not like she wasn't concerned about it in the first place. Erica had to stop her work as an actress 7 years ago when she discovered her unexpected pregnancy. She was doing an important film which might make her a famous actress. She had to choose between the film which might make her a famous actress with lots of fortune, or the unexpected baby. Instead of continuing the film, Erica gave up her successful future and decided to raise the yet unborn baby. All the people, even her husband opposed her decision and said to abort the child. Erica and her husband never wanted a child in the first place, but it felt so wrong to kill an unborn baby. Theirs…..her baby!
Erica stopped her job as an actress and gave birth to Nagi raising her for 5 years. But the dream of being a world famous actress couldn't be pressed down in her heart anymore. She chose to work as an actress once more. Erica has been working in a film for a year, leaving her daughter alone a lot. Erica was thankful that her daughter didn't complain or cry like other little children would do. Nagi was very patience and mentally mature comparing from her young age.
Erica slightly frown her face noticing her husband wasn't even home yet. She asked him to come home early today because it was Nagi's birthday! However it seems like he will come home very late when Nagi was already in bed. The black cat meows to Erica welcoming her home. As Erica let down Nagi on the sofa the black cat immediately jumped next to Nagi's side. Erica takes out a wrapped present from her handbag. As soon as Nagi saw the present her two purple eyes sparkle in happiness and excitement.
"Happy Birthday Nagi."
Nagi took the present from her mother and immediately started to open her present. Nagi found out her birthday present was a white box with beautiful golden patterns that looks like a cat. The box looked expensive and seemed like it was made from a master craftsman. Nagi looked kind of confused with her present. Why did her mother gave her a box as a birthday present? It wasn't a toy… Her present was nothing she had expected.
"Open the box Nagi." Erica said smiling to her daughter.
Nagi did as her mother told, and when she opened the box a beautiful, soft melody came from the box. It was a music box! It was the first time that Nagi ever seen a music box. Nagi was so happy when she noticed the melody coming from the box was the lullaby her mother often sings to her at night. Nagi gently put down her music box on the sofa and suddenly hugged Erica as tight as she could.
"Thank you, mommy!"
Chrome, a 23 year old young beautiful lady wakes up from her dream. She looked puzzled and sleepy. Then suddenly Chrome let out a long heavy sigh remembering her dream. Why, oh why did she dream that in this day? Today was her 23th birthday and she just dreamed about her 6th birthday which…her mother Erica had actually loved her and didn't hate or scorn her yet.
Chrome felt wetness in her single left eye and noticed she was crying right now. She wiped her tears away with her sleeve. The dream was so sweet and warm, and because of that it also felt so sad at the same time, ripping her heart. Chrome missed the Erica who was in her dream. She was a mother who cared and loved her daughter. But it's just a past now. Erica slowly started to change and when Nagi was 10 years old, Erica didn't love her anymore. Those 3 years was a nightmare until Nagi met Mukuro and changed into Chrome. After Chrome walked out of the hospital, she had never seen Erica for 10 years.
Erica doesn't deserve to be called as a mother. She never cared or gave love to Nagi after Erica remarried Nagi's stepfather. All Erica gave to the 10 year old Nagi was only hatred and scorns. Most of all Erica abandoned her when she was dying in the hospital. That memory still hunted Chrome, giving her emotional pain whenever she remembers it. But even though all the pain she had gave to her, Chrome sometimes finds herself thinking and missing Erica. Chrome knew why. It was only because Erica was her mother and her only blood related family. Family…it was what Chrome wanted most in her life but thought it was only a fantasy that will never come true.
'Who would want me anyway?' Chrome thought gloomy.
She only had one eye and wasn't sociable. She also thought of herself as an unattractive woman. What kind of man will want her? Most of all she was abandon from her master who used to care for her. Chrome was heartbroken when she found the little simple note 'get out' from Kokuyo land. She loved Mukuro with all her heart and was very loyal to him. Getting abandon from her master was hard to get over with. The memory of that day had left as a scar on her heart.
At least after the Rainbow Representative Battle, Chrome understood why Mukuro kick her out, and noticed Mukuro still cares for her. Still, the fact she was kicked out didn't change since Chrome wasn't a Kokuyo gang member anymore. Also Mukuro left Namimori with the Kokuyo gang after the Rainbow Representative Battle without telling anyone why. Mukuro didn't appear to either her or the Vongola Famiglia for 10 years now.
At least Mukuro visit her in the illusion world even after he left. However Chrome always felt Mukuro was keeping a distance from her even in their illusion world. Also Mukuro completely left her 2 years ago. He doesn't meet her in the illusion world anymore. He said good bye to her that he wasn't going to come to the illusion world again to meet her…he also cut off their mind connection. Ever since that day, Chrome couldn't meet nor hear about him for 2 years. Nobody in the Vongola Famiglia knows what Mukuro and his gangs were doing. Not even Fran who was Mukuro's student and now the member of the Varia knew where Mukuro was.
Chrome let out another sigh and got up from her bed. She opened the bottom of the drawer next to her bed. She put her hands deep inside the drawer and brings out something that was hidden deep underneath the cloths. It was the music box that came from her dream. It looked older than the one in her dream but was still beautiful. Chrome carefully opened the white music box, immediately a soft lullaby came out.
Chrome closed her eye and began to listen to the lullaby. The music box was the only thing she brought from her house where she once lived as Nagi. The music box was a secret to everyone, even her master Mukuro. She fears they would think her as a weak person that she still hears lullaby for comforts and her master will be disappointed at her for not leaving everything behind from Nagi's life. The music box was her secret that nobody knows.
Chrome took out the pictures that were inside the music box. They were pictures of her being with her boss and the other Guardians. Some were with Kyoko, Haru and I-pin. Also some Kokuyo members...there were even some pictures taken with Erica when she was young. Chrome stopped her hand when she saw a picture that was taken 10 years ago. It was the first and only photo she had taken with Mukuro. In the photo they were just standing next to each other, not even grabbing their hands or looking at each other. The 13 years old Chrome had a blush on her cheek and Mukuro showing his famous smirk. A few drops of tears fell on the photo.
"I miss you Mukuro-sama."
Even though he abandon her and left her, Chrome still missed Mukuro. She still loved him. She wanted to at least know if Mukuro was fine but couldn't since Mukuro cut off their mind connection 2 years ago. Chrome shook her head and took a deep breath. She put all the photos back into the music box and hides it deep in the drawer again. She stands up from her bed and went to take a shower. Today the Vongola Famiglia was going to open a birthday party for her. She had to start getting ready even though the party starts at the evening.
The Vongola Mist Guardian birthday party was hold in the Vongola Head quarter's ballroom. Not many were invited because Tsuna knew his female Mist Guardian didn't like to be in a too crowded place. Also because of her shy nature, Chrome felt uncomfortable when she was getting too much attention from many people. Therefore, only few people (mostly only boss and guardians) from the Chiavarone Famiglia, Simon Famiglia and a few allied Famiglias were invited.
Chrome was enjoying her birthday party. She got so many thankful gifts and people were truly celebrating her birthday. The party atmosphere was bright and enjoyable. But Chrome also felt some sadness that her master wasn't here. If only Mukuro was here it would have been a perfect party.
Chrome drank some wine from her glass viewing the ballroom. Her boss Tsuna was talking with Enma the Simon Famiglia boss. Simon Famiglia was now a strong and large Famiglia. Enma and his Guardians were all already strong since 10 years ago and with some help from the Vongola Famiglia, the Simon Famiglia quickly got bigger during 10 years.
Dino the boss of Chiavarone Famiglia looked tired and was resting on the sofa. His black suit was a bit dirty and Chrome noticed Dino was rubbing his left arm as it was in pain… It seemed like he just came back to the party after fighting Hibari. Hibari hasn't participate the party because he hates crowding, but he dragged Dino out a few hours ago saying he will bite him to death. Dino looked like he was going to fall asleep any moment.
Sadly, Bianchi and I-pin couldn't come to the party. Bianchi was busy with her job. She had to assassinate someone since she was still a hitman. However Bianchi sent her a birthday cake… Chrome didn't know what she would do with the dangerous poison cake. I-pin was training with her teacher Fon the Storm Arcobaleno, somewhere in China. I-pin sent Chrome a birthday card and a Chinese dress.
Chrome looked at the pile of birthday gifts. Strangely people who weren't invited to the party also sent her birthday gifts. Most of them were from the allied Famiglia's men who were aged in 20s, few were in their 30s. Chrome hasn't opened their presents yet. Chrome carefully unwrapped one of the present. It was a large jewel ear ring. Chrome was surprised and a bit uncomfortable why this man will give her a very expensive gift.
Chrome looked at the card and found the man's name. She remembers meeting this man a few months ago from an allied Famiglia's party. He was a bit older than Chrome and was a Cloud Guardian. However they only talked a little when they were introduced to each other. They weren't close enough for this man to send her this expensive gift at her birthday.
'Probably for political reasons?' Still it didn't make senses. If it's for political reasons normally the boss of the Famiglia will send a gift to Tsuna.
Chrome put the present down and started to open some more gifts. Most of them were jewel, perfume, flowers and all of them were expensive. Chrome was getting more confused why these men were giving her these presents.
"Whoa, that's a lot of present Chrome."
Chrome raised her head and looked at the person who just came next to her. It was Kyoko. Haru and Hana were also here. Haru looked at the presents and suddenly got excited.
"Hahi, you're very popular Chrome!"
"Popular?" Chrome tilted her head not understanding.
"Isn't all these presents from men Chrome?" Haru asked.
"Yes…most of them are from the allied Famiglia. They must had sent it just because I'm the Vongola's Mist Guardian."
"Um…Chrome, this card says he wishes to see you again. This one is asking you for a dinner. This card is…full of flirting."
"It's just a formal letter and the last one…is probably just making teasing me."
The three women lost words for a moment staring at Chrome. Finally after a quiet few seconds Hana looked at her best friend Kyoko with an absurd face.
"Is she always this dense?" Hana didn't know Chrome well. She knew Chrome had a shy and kind nature…but she didn't look like a dense person.
"…Only when this topic is related with her I guess."
Hana looked at the woman in front of her. Her rare purple hair and eye was enough to attract people's sight and her body was fascinating. Even though she had a single eye, it only gave her more mysterious beauty. Her fragile appearance was the type that will stir up the protective instinct from men. Even in the woman's eyes, Chrome looked beautiful. It was funny the person herself doesn't seem to notice it.
"Hana! There's only 10 hours left before you ride the plane flying back to Japan! We should have time together to the extreme!"
Hana's eyebrow twitched. When will her boyfriend learn to speak quietly? Hana excused herself and walked to Ryohei. Ryohei looked extremely happy and it seemed like those two were going to go outside for a date.
'Having a date…'
Chrome never thought of dating someone, but she felt a bit jealous. Kyoko was with Tsuna and Haru was with Gokudera. Chrome was the only single between the girls. While Chrome was thinking, she didn't notice a man approaching her.
"Hello. Why is a beautiful woman like you alone?"
Chrome looked at the person in front of her. He had short black hair and his face was just common. Chrome didn't recognize him. He might be one of the members of the allied Famiglia that was invited.
'Alone?'
Chrome blinked and looked around her. Kyoko and Haru already left her side when they noticed the man approaching Chrome.
"May I have the honor to know your name?"
The man gently grabbed Chrome's right hand and kissed the back of her hand. Chrome blushed madly her face turning into red. Chrome was stunned at the man's bold behavior. The man looked at Chrome with a playful smirk.
"…Chrome Dokuro."
"Ah, then I guess this is your birthday party… No wonder why so many men sent you gifts."
The black hair man grabbed one of the cards and started to read it. It was the card that was flirting her. The man suddenly crushed the card with his hand. Chrome was surprised at the man's rude behavior. However for some reasons she couldn't say anything to him. His eyes showed anger and Chrome honestly felt scared when she saw his eyes. However his eyes quickly turned normal again and looked at her with a smiling face.
"It looks like you have lots of admirers. Are you going to answer to one of these…..men?"
Chrome blinked once more. She thought she heard him say 'filthy' men but she wasn't sure because his voice was very small at that part.
"No, I'm not. They're just some formal letters."
"I hardly doubt these are formal letters. After all you are an attractive beautiful woman."
The man chuckled and looked at Chrome with seductive eyes. Chrome flinched. This wasn't the first time a man had flirt to her. She actually experience it a lot, especially after she became an adult. Many men approached her and most of them wanted a one night stand. Chrome always refused and immediately left those men. If they follow or gets mad at her she used her illusion to get rid of them.
However Chrome was just frozen in front of this man. She couldn't even think of moving away or using her illusion. There was just something about him. Chrome knows he was flirting with her but…it also felt like he was really praising her she was beautiful. Her chest started to beat fast. Chrome didn't know how to react to this man.
"Hi, cute Chrome! What are you doing with a stranger?"
Chrome suddenly felt someone putting his arm around her shoulders and pulling her body close to him. Chrome flinched once more when she saw the man's eyes narrowing with killing intents. His eyes glaring at the arm around her shoulders. Chrome immediately recognized the person who was putting his arm around her shoulders. Only Katou Julie the Simon Famiglia Desert Guardian will do this to her. Chrome didn't felt comfortable with him because he always flirts to her, and Chrome wasn't used to being touched by someone. However even though Chrome looked uncomfortable Julie didn't mind as always.
"Hey Chrome you look great on that dress today. No wonder a stranger will be bugging you."
"Um… Hello Katou-san."
"Please I told you to call me Julie. We're not strangers like him."
Julie made a grin toward the man obviously provoking him. The man eyebrow twitched.
"Hey leave now. Chrome and I am going to have a private talk now."
Julie made a shooing gesture to the man and started to completely ignore him.
"Chrome don't you think it's too crowded here? Won't you like to go out for a walk?"
"A walk?"
"Yes, we can go outside for a walk together where nobody's around. Then if you get cold I can warm you up inside the bed. I promise I will make you satisfied."
Chrome's face immediately turned red, understanding what Julie was talking about. Chrome was still naïve as she was when she was young. But she wasn't that innocent! Chrome was still a virgin and she never even been kissed! Sleeping with a man was just going too far from the start.
"Ahh…don't be shy. None of the people will even noticed we're out."
Seriously? He was saying this in front of the black hair man! Also, is he really asking for a night together when he is already married to Adelheid? Adelheid was also in the ballroom and not even far from them! She must had heard every word Julie just said! Chrome could literally feel the killing aura coming from Adelheid. She started walking toward them as she was going to kill her husband right this moment! Chrome felt cold sweats falling from her back as she felt two murderous killing intents heading to Julie.
'Two?'
One was from Adelheid and the other was from…the man in front of them. Chrome's purple eye widen as she saw indigo Mist flame starting to surround the man.
"Kufufu, flirting at my precious Chrome? I should make you go through the six hells!"
That laugh… It couldn't be! The man turned taller and his short black hair turned into a long indigo hair. His left eye turned blue while the right eye turned red with a Kanji in it. Chrome's purple eye started to shake as she couldn't believe it and Julie gasp realizing he was in deep trouble. The man was Rokudo Mukuro!
"OW!" Julie suddenly let out a painful shriek.
Mukuro punched Julie in the stomach as hard as he can, causing Julie unable to breathe by the pain. Mukuro grabbed Julie's arm taking it away from Chrome's shoulders. Julie whimpered in pain as Mukuro was about to break his arm in any second.
"Mukuro-sama?"
Mukuro's cold and murderous face immediately relaxed and looked at Chrome with a smiling face.
"Hello my precious Chrome."
A/N: So how was it? I'm not sure if the first chapter was fun or if I'm writing it well.
Please Review.
