Hello… This is just a simple 6996 story by me, near05 in which the 'author' and the 'authoress' started messing with the characters.. Sorry, me can't stop the two, they're very naughty kids, you know.
Author: hey! I'm a good kid. It's just the authoress who keeps pestering the characters.
Authoress: I'm not pestering them.
Author: Yeah. You're just annoying them.
Authoress: No, I'm not.
Author: Yes you are.
Author: I'm not. I'm just making new friends.
Author: Then, you're making new friends by pestering and annoying them?
Author: Noooo!
Me: *sigh* kids, stop fighting or I won't give you candies.
Author/Authoress: Waahhh.. Candies. You're mean. Give us our candies!
Me: Bwahaha…. Anyways, I don't own KHR.

"Mukuro-sama.." Chrome whispered and tightly hugged the pillow beside her. She's currently staying in a three star hotel somewhere in Italy after leaving the Vongola estate few days ago. Her eyes are really red from non-stop crying. She hasn't left the room since she checked-in. she hasn't eaten anything for days. All she does is cry.
Mukuro-sama is free. Her boss did everything and managed to get Mukuro out of Vendicare prison few months ago. She was really happy that he's free until she heard the conversation she wasn't supposed to hear...
She was wandering around Vongola Manor looking for her Mukuro-sama. She was with Lambo and I-pin when she heard that he's back from his mission with Ken and Chikusa. She really wanted to see him because they never really had a chance to talk that long after he was freed because they were both busy with their awn missions.
"Mukuro-san, are you really not gonna tell her anything?" she heard Ken's voice inside the room beside her. The door is slightly opened so she can hear their conversation.
"No." followed by Mukuro's voice. It's not like her to eavesdrop but she can't control her self. She have a feeling that she will learn something if she listen.
"Stop it Chrome-chan. You will not like what you're gonna hear." She suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice.
"Who are you?" Chrome asked looking around.
"I'm the authoress." The voice proudly said.
"Authoress?" she repeated.
"Yes. Authoress. I'm the one making this story."
"You're the one making this story?"
"Yes. You don't have to repeat everything I say. It's annoying."
"S-sorry." She just said and looked at the ground.
"Anyway, I'm really advising you to stop this Chrome-chan. You'll just get hurt."
"B-but…"
"Hey! Don't go messing with the characters." She heard another voice.
"Who's that?" Chrome asked in confusion.
"The stupid author." She heard the 'authoress' answered in disgust.
"Uhmm.. Aren't the author and the authoress same person?" she asked not really understanding what's happening.
"No!" the voices answered in unison.
"I'm greater than the author. In all aspects." The 'authoress' added.
"Ah.."
"Anyway Chrome-chan, I'm sorry for the authoress' behavior. I'm just here to pick her up because she suddenly went missing. Just continue what you're doing and don't mind us."
"Oh, o-okay." She just said.
"Stop messing with the characters! You're ruining the story!"
"Hmph! Whatever!" Chrome could still hear them bickering but she decided to ignore them and peeked inside the room.
"Be prepared on what you're gonna hear. At least I warned you Chrome-chan." She heard the 'authoress' said.
"Mukuro-sama looks tired." She mumbled when she saw him sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and a wine glass on his hand.
"Mukuro-sama, don't you think she deserves to know that?" it was Chikusa who's standing beside the window.
"I don't want her to hate me."
"Mukuro-sama/san." Chikusa and Ken said in unison.
"I know she will hate me when she finds out that it was all because of me, and I don't want it." Mukuro answered in a low voice. "I don't want her to hate me when she learned that I controlled everyone involved in her accident ten years ago. That I possessed her parents to say those things." Chrome's eyes widened after hearing what he said and her tears started falling. She couldn't believe what she just heard but she still decided to keep on listening. There must be a good reason behind that.
"Which makes me wonder, of all people, why her?" Ken asked. "I mean, there must be someone who's stronger than her." He added.
"Baka. It's easier to earn a persons trust when they're in worst situation, Ken."Chikusa said.
"Kufufu. Chikusa's right. And also because she was the one who has the stronger will to survive that time. So I thought she would be the perfect vessel for me."
"I wasn't able to ask you this before Mukuro-sama, but what are gonna do with her now? You're already free so you will no need her anymore." Chrome really wants to hear Mukuro's answer. She wished to hear that he still needs her.
"Kufufu. You're right Chuikusa. She's no longer of any use for me now since I'm already free. But—" Chrome couldn't take it anymore. She stopped listening and ran towards her room. She's gonna leave the Vongola estate.
"That's the reason why I warned you earlier Chrome-chan." She was packing her clothes when she heard the authoress' voice. "But I think it much better if continued listening until Mukuro finishes talking."
"What for? I don't want to be hurt any further." She still can't stop crying. Everything she heard is still echoing in her ears.
"But you don't have to leave. I'll just clear the misunderstanding." Authoress said.
"I told you to stop pestering her." It was now the authors' voice. "Are you alright Chrome-chan?"
"Does she look alright to you, huh? Stupid author!"
"Don't call me stupid! You're practically the reason why she's crying now!"
"Huh? Why me? You're the author here, remember?"
"I'm the author but you're the authoress, and you're the one who's been writing these nonsense since she started eavesdropping!"
"Hey! it's not nonsense, it's great! And I'm the only one among the three of us here can make such a great story like that." The authoress proudly said.
"And you're also the only one who made her cry like that." The author boastfully added.
"Hey! That was needed to make her stronger." The authoress defended herself.
"Heh... So you already admit that you're the one who made her cry?"
" Huh? No!"
"But you just admitted that you're the one who's been writing since earlier. Isn't that same as admitting that you made her cry?"
"No! I did not admit anything!"
"You did!"
"I did not!"
"You did!"
"Did not!" Chrome's giggle made them stop.
"Oh God. She's gone crazy. It's your entire fault stupid author!"
"Why me?" they stopped when they noticed that Chrome was finished packing her clothes.
"Thanks, both of you. I can just hear you but you lighted my mood a bit." Chrome said smiling. "But I really need to go. As you said, that was needed to make me stronger, and I don't think I'll become stronger if I stay here. I can't always depend on boss and the others to always protect me." She added
"Yes. That's the spirit Chrome." the authoress happily said.
"So, uhmm.. I guess I'll just err.. hear you again?"
"Of course! Don't worry Chrome-chan, we will always be with you. Just call us and we'll be there." the authoress enthusiastically answered. Chrome chuckled.
"Don't worry Chrome-chan! You and Mukuro will still end together. I'll make sure of that." She heard the author said before the front door finally closed.
The sound of the phone ringing brought her back to reality. She noticed that it's almost dark outside. She looked at her phone and saw her boss' name on the screen. She hesitated if she's gonna answer it or not.
"B-boss?" She said in a hoarse voice. She decided to answer it I the end. It was her boss anyway.
"Chrome! Where are you? Why aren't you answering Mukuro's calls? And why do you sound like that? Have you been crying?"
"Hey, stupid author! It's Tsuna!" The authoress exclaimed happily.
"I know. Now, stop bugging me and red in peace!"
"Hmph! Mean!"
"Calm down boss." She chuckled. Her mood lightened just by hearing her boss' voice but her throat still hurts from too much crying.
"How can I calm down? Don't you know how worried I was when I came back this afternoon and learned that you're not in the mansion and no one knows where you are?" she couldn't help but put her phone away from her ear when she heard his loud voice. She also feels guilty because she can really sense that he's really worried based on his voice. Not to mention that he said those thing in just one breathing.
"I'm in a hotel boss. And I okay so you don't need to worry." She simply said.
"What? Where? Why? And how will I not worry when you're still nowhere to be found? Even Mukuro is worried sick about you." Hearing Mukuro's name, her eyes started to water again.
"Boss, it's not like this is my first time leaving the manor alone. And I'm part of your family so you don't have to worry about me." She explained and she just heard Tsuna sighed on the other line.
"Chrome, you should really come home. We're all worried about you. It's a good thing that you answered the phone. I was going to order the entire Vongola to search for you if you didn't pick this call. Plus, Kyoko-chan ad Haru really wants to see you."
"Kyoko-chan and Haru-chan are here?"
"Yes. I brought them with me from Japan. But since we just arrived, they still don't know that you're not here." He explained calmly.
"How long are they gonna stay her boss?" she really missed her friends but she can't face them like this. She needs to clear her mind first.
"Maybe about a month. Why?"
"Then I'll just meet them another time boss. Just tell them that I'm on a mission right now if the looked for me. I still have to clear my mind." Her last words came as a whisper but Tsuna still heard it.
"Clear your mind?" Tsuna asked.
"Nothing boss. Uhm.. I'll just contact you some other time. Bye." She was about to clicked the end button when she heard him still saying something.
"Chrome, wait. Can you just tell me the name of the hotel you're staying?"
"Sorry boss." She ended the call and stopped the illusion she made to prevent them from tracking her.
