Breathing heavily, Chrome tries to outrun her attacker; looking around hoping to find someone, anyone, that would help her, but she finds no one. She turns the corner to run into the dark alleyway, hoping her attacker didn't notice, but her hopes were crushed as she found herself in a dead end. Her legs give out and she falls to the floor. As her attacker grabs her by the collar, she wishes that she didn't drop her trident and wished that Ken or Chikusa was there to protect her. She tries to fight off her attacker, but he was twice as big as her. He grabs her arms and rips her shirt off, making tears come to Chrome's purple eye. She began to lose hope, believing that there was nothing she could do to stop the large male when suddenly her attacker was hit on the head with something metal, causing him to let go of Chrome. She backs up against the wall quickly and tries to cover herself. Her attacker turns around and she saw what had attacked him. It was a pair of steel tonfas; the owner of the tonfas was Kyoya Hibari.

Hibari easily beat up Chrome's attacker and was going to leave, but Chrome stops him when she softly called, "Hibari-san…."Hibari turns around again and looks at her. He then noticed that her shirt was torn apart by her attacker and he walks up to her. She flinches slightly and is surprised when he puts his jacket around her shoulder. She blushes, "T...thank you Hibari-san."

Hibari gently helps her up, "You shouldn't be out so late, you're lucky I was patrolling." He glances at the unconscious attacker, "People like him should be killed." Chrome looks up at him and he puts his arm around her waist, looking around to make sure that no one is around. He safely leads Chrome back to Kokuyo Land without being seen, picking up the bad that she had dropped with the trident in it. When he takes his jacket back, she turns around to say thank you, but he was already walking away.

Chrome opens her eyes to see Ken watching her, as soon Ken saw that she was awake, he blushes and looks away. She gets up and looks around, Ken and Chikusa looking at her, there were snacks in front of Ken and Chikusa was holding a spare shirt. She looks down; remembering what happened the night before and noticed that they had gotten a blanket for her. Chikusa throws the spare shirt at her and the boys walk out of the room. Chrome slips on the shirt and picks up a few snacks, opening them and eating them slowly while thinking about what had happened. While she ate some candy, she decided that she should tell someone.

I-pin, Haru, and Kyoko all yell in surprise, "Hibari-san really did that?" Chrome blushes and nods. Haru whimpers in jealousy, "I wish Tsuna would save ME more often!"

Kyoko glances at Haru as if angry for a split second, "I don't blame you for having a crush on him Chrome-chan, maybe you should talk to him."

"I….I can't do that. It would be awkward." Chrome looks down blushing.

I-pin smiles gently at Chrome even though she had a crush on Hibari as well, "You should go for it! It's better than not trying at all."

Kyoko smiles and nods slightly in agreement, "I-pin-chan is right, you should at least try."

Haru nods her agreement too, "I agree! You should go for it Chrome-chan!"

Chrome looks nervously at them, "But….how?"

Kyoko, Haru and I-pin smiles happily, "Leave it to us! We'll get him to go to Namimori Shrine so you go there and wait okay?" Chrome smiles shyly, blushing, but she nods before heading to Namimori Shrine on her own.

"Okay, Haru-chan you go that way." Kyoko points to the right, "I-pin-chan, you go that way." She points to the left this time, "And I'll go this way." She points in front of her, "We'll meet up in an hour okay?" Haru and I-pin nod before running off, Kyoko runs her own path as well.

I-pin looks around, sighing. She wants Chrome to be happy, but she liked Hibari a lot as well. She almost didn't want to help her get with him, but she slaps her cheeks, angry at herself, "I-pin must help her friends. I-pin wants them to be happy." She runs into Hibari, falling backwards.

Hibari turns to face I-pin, "Hm?" He looks at I-pin; I-pin blushes deeply. Hibari smirks slightly, "Wao, you didn't get hurt from that did you?" He bends down and gently helps I-pin up, making her blush even more.

I-pin shakes her head violently and then shyly says, "Can you go to Namimori Shrine?"

Hibari looks at her, confused, "Hm? Why?"

I-pin looks at him, still blushing but was more firm about it, "To see Chrome-chan, please."

Hibari stares at her, surprised for a bit Then he smiles slightly, his eyes gentle as he softly rubs I-pin's head, "Thank you." He gets up and walks towards Namimori Shrine, unaware of I-pin's overload of embarrassment and explosion.

Chrome stands against the tree by the Shrine, nervous. She didn't think that he would show up. When she sees him, she jumps slightly in surprise; she could feel her heart pounding. She quickly looks at the floor in embarrassment almost hoping that he wouldn't see her. Hibari walks up to her and puts his left hand against the tree in the crock of her neck. Chrome looks at him and blushes, "H….Hibari-san…"

Hibari smirks slightly, "What was it that you wanted to tell me?"

Chrome blushes and looks down, but Hibari lifts her head with his free hand, making her look at him and also causing her to blush more, "Ano…..do you…..like me?" She turns red and looks to the side, "N…never mind."

Hibari tilts his head and lifts her head again before kissing her softly. Her eye widen for a bit, but she closes them before kissing him back. Hibari looks at her with half open eyes, watching her reaction as he slid his tongue over her lips. She flinches, whimpering softly and turning as red as a tomato. He slowly breaks the kiss and pulls back, his eyes filled with amusement when she follows him for a bit, not wanting the kiss to end. Hibari chuckles softly, "Does that answer your question?"

Chrome looks down in embarrassment, a shy smile on her face, "Y….yes….thank you."

Hibari looks around as if to make sure no one was around to make Chrome even more embarrassed, "Want to come to my school tomorrow and get to know each other better? We'll be alone."

Chrome looks up at him and smiles happily, a blush still on her face, "I would like that, thank you."
