+ The Diary of Skylark's Stalker +
Summary:
Chrome was enrolled by Mukuro in Namimori high to complete a task he had given her. What would be the outcome if she had to stalk a certain prefect? Will she remain devoted to her master or fall for his savior's arch-enemy? 1896, with some 6996.
A/N: Hey, well this is my second attempt in making a fic and again with my all time favorite 1896 pair XD.

Chapter 1: Tantalized
Dear Dairy,
Tomorrow will be my first day in Namimori-chuu. I'm really surprised when Mukuro-sama told me that I'll be going to attend school again. I'm also quite nervous because I don't know what others will think of me, considering my past when my classmates used to bully me, but at the same time, I'm happy because I'll be able to be with boss and others and also him. I'm sure that this time will be different with them by my side. I wonder what Mukuro-sama is planning that he suddenly enrolled me there. Hmmm… maybe he'll tell me soon. Goodnight.
Chrome just finished scribbling in her diary. Yes, she's keeping a diary. In fact, it's one of the few things she has been taking care of. It contains her activities done for the day, her self-musings and questions that hadn't been answered even once, just like a typical one.
After keeping her things, she proceeded to the dusty contorted couch to take her slumber hiding her precious diary underneath the rabbit plushy her Mukuro-sama gave to her that also serves as her pillow. She hazily opened her half-lidded eye when she heard a creak on the old-wooden floor.
Mukuro went to Chrome's room well it's not actually a room, an old theater which was only a door far from his room. He's just a checking if his cute little Nagi is already asleep. He slowly moved to where she is and sat by the armrest of the moldy couch trying his best not to make any noise. He briefly smiled and set her stray hair to the side locking her beautiful face. He kissed her forehead gently and whispered goodnight. (Aww… isn't he sweet? XD)
Chrome knew her master's presence but pretended that she's already asleep because for sure, he'll question her why she's not yet sleeping then it might end up he staying up late to make sure she's sleeping. She sensed his hand keeping her bangs behind her ears. She felt him kiss her forehead ever-so-lightly. It's a good thing that it is quite dark there or else he will notice her extremely red face. She heard him whisper goodnight in his deep yet gentle voice. She sighed after seeing him go and closed her eye until her consciousness go to her dreamland.
Waking up as early as 5:30 am, Chrome is quite excited on her first day in school. It's been a long time since she attended classes and the entire of those days are not so worthwhile. For her, it's a part of her memory that she wanted to erase. She remembered being bullied by her classmates and she rather stays alone in a corner than to interact with them. Then when classes ended all she can do is to wander to their mansion on her own because she's not allowed to go outside and she got no playmates to play with, their maids are sick tired of taking care of her. Her parents always neglect her. They're always busy with their work that they already forgot that they had a child that should be taken care of.
Chrome sighed. It's quite nostalgic, reminiscing her life as Nagi, the weak and neglected girl. She can clearly see it as if it's just yesterday. She just set aside the thought not wanting to spoil her day. She wanted to replace her memory with a good one together with her friends.
She took a sip on her now warm coffee and bit down to her toast. Mukuro and the gang are still sleep. She can hear Ken's snoring meters away from her. She glanced at the clock hanging sideways on the cracked wall, '6:30'. She prepared herself to school and packed up her bento comprised of some riceballs she made and put her enrollment papers to her bag.
"Ohh… it's still early. Hmmn… I think I should go and stroll around." Chrome said as she walked to her Mukuro-sama's room. Seeing that he's still asleep, she didn't bother waking her up to bade her goodbye. Carrying her bag, she made her way to Namimori-chuu. There are only few people outdoors probably because the sun is not yet showing.
"It's really peaceful here." She noticed the cherry blossoms falling down slowly like snowflakes from heaven. Namimori-chuu is not that far from Kokuyo land, you can be able to reach it for about 15 minutes. (Just my assumption xp)
"Midori! Tanabiku, Namimori no!"
Chrome heard a familiar small voice singing the Namimori high anthem. Chrome looked around and saw the source of the tiny voice.
"Ahh… Hibird" the mist reached out her hand hoping for the yellow canary to land on it.
The yellow fluff flew around her head then smoothly landed on her hand.
"Uhmm…What are you doing here?" The purplenette said while petting it then the canary tilted its head and chirped happily.
"Hibari, Hibari!" Upon hearing the name, Chrome looked around hoping to see the bird's tamer. She sighed and continued walking with Hibird comfortably nesting on her soft plum hair ruining its pineapple shape in the process.
One block away from her destination, she spotted a raven locks walking towards the school. Her heart skipped a beat, her hands suddenly went cold and her face was flushed. She was rooted to her place; she didn't know if she should continue on her tracks or back away or approach him.
"Hibari, Hibari!" The yellow canary chirped and flew towards the prefect. Chrome's eye widened when she saw Hibari smiled albeit almost unseen to the small bird.
The prefect knew her presence but chose to ignore her and continued walking to Nami-chuu. The purplenette followed him giving a few meter distances between them.
The skylark confronted her when he reached the gates.
"What are you doing here herbivore? Trespassers aren't allowed here, leave now or I'll bite you to death." Hibari said while glaring at her, his infamous tonfas in his hands.
Chrome was startled by his warning but she knew that he noticed her following him.
"Uhmm… K-kumo-san… e-etou, I'm not trespassing. Y-you see, I just enrolled here." She reasoned out while rummaging through her bag looking for her enrollment papers, then she showed it to him. Hibari snatched it in her hands and scanned what's written on it. He just grunted a 'hn' and walked inside the campus.
"You're not wearing the proper uniform herbivore. Follow me." He grunted if she's listening or not.
Chrome immediately followed him, her blush not leaving her face.
They arrived at a room with the sign 'Reception Room'. She just waited outside, and then the prefect came out with a bag.
"Wear that. I don't want to see that annoying clothes of yours." He said and walked away heading to the entrance gate to bite tardy herbivores.
"A-arigatou Kumo-san…" Chrome said still standing in her place and blushing beet red.
'He talked to me.' The purplenette mused to herself while clutching her chest with her hand, feeling her rapid heartbeat. She sighed. 'Maybe this as going to be a long day' she thought to herself and headed to the comfort room to change.
Unknown to others and even to her Mukuro-sama, she harbored a hidden admiration to the cloud guardian ever since the future arc incident when he motivated her to keep on living when she's on the verge of death although it's his future self. Since then, she always looked up on him secretly. She had always respected his strong and unbounded personalities that are totally opposite from hers. She wished that someday, somehow she'll become like him.
"Hmmm… Where is this class 2-B?" Chrome wandered through the school corridors. The classes had already started, yet she's still searching for her home room thanks to her poor sense in direction. While briefly scanning every room that she passed by, she accidentally bumped unto someone.
"Ow" Chrome softly wailed while massaging her now reddish forehead.
"I-I'm sorry." She muttered and looked up only to see a pair of steel gray eyes.
