( there had been some weird thing going on with this chapter so I hope it's now fixed)
It has been two years since Mukuro had lost contact with Chrome, after the battle with Byakuran, the tenth generation young Vongolia's quote/unquote girlfriend Kyoko, coaxed his darling "vessel" into hanging out, and has gone off on her own since without any need to call Mukuro. He was once again alone locked away in the deepest regions of Vindice. the high grade impregnable prison for those in the mafia whose punishment could not be matched by society of normal people. For two years plus the guardian of the mist has been in suspended animation left with nothing but his thoughts. sure he debated about cutting it off with Chrome,but he couldn't do that, to her Mukuro had become something like a brother to Chrome and she confessed it to him, plus it would be obvious to everyone if Chrome's organs suddenly vanished. They would probably storm the prison just to ask him why he did it. So for now he would have to make do being in his own little world inside his brain, using his own illusions on himself to project a calming, relaxing wide open field with warm sun and gentle breeze, naturally for someone like him one would suspect his calm place to be hellfire brimstone the end of humanity corpses everywhere, but being the only one around was just as good.
He was standing on top of a hill overlooking the field with a small pond at the bottom. He took a deep breathe enjoying the solace view. It was shortly ruin when he heard the sound of footsteps, someone had made it into his illusion. His eyes locked onto a girl with porcelain skin with deep powder red lips, dressed in single shoulder black dress that ended mid thigh with black open toed high heel shoes, her hair was raven dark and she had almost doll like teal eyes." You seem bored." She spoke leisurely stopping a few feet away from him. Mukuro, curious examine the woman, indeed she looked like a porcelain doll, life size and all. " I could use your help if you want to leave here" she said smiling at Mukuro. " Oya?" Mukuro finally made a
She turned to the side overlooking the view, everything seemed to waver and melt away, a new illusion was coming into view, the dark room where no light or sound reached. where Mukuro was locked away in a stasis tank. He could see himself in suspended animation in a force coma, the view more or less annoyed him seeing the reality, but it was how illusionist worked they had to know when and where the illusion ended. "We're neighbors in a way." She commented pointing to the tank next to his, but the woman in the tank looked entirely different from the one he was seeing. "This form is more appealing to you right?" She said tilting her head. "After all human beings are just toys right?"
Mukuro finally broke into a smirk laughing in his trademark kufufufu. " I have no clue who you are but you seem to know somethings about me." He looked at the girl into her glass teal eyes. " I know enough to have interest, I also know of your work and ability. Your fight with Mammon, your encounter with Byakuran from ten years into the future even your encounter with the Vongolia's family tenth. You're a force to be reckon with.", " You're quit formidable yourself for me not being able pick up on your stalking" he replied with a light kufufu. " well of course I study my interest carefully and now that I require your assistant, I thought it was time to approach you."
If it was any other circumstance Mukuro would have no doubt pulled out his trident and either pierce or kill the girl for her plan to use him as a pawn but it wouldn't do any good given the conditions. " sorry but I have no intentions on being someone's pawn." He commented turning away from the girl. The vision of the the two trapped in Vindice vanished and the wide field Mukuro had earlier reappeared with the addition of a large willow tree. He walked away from her and headed towards the tree taking a spot at the base. The girl followed him as she grinned. " on the contrary, I'll be your pawn." She commented standing across from him. " how so." He asked looking at her. The girl merely pointed at her own right eye but it was meant as a gesture to his. "Your paths of reincarnation. your first path is illusions but the third path is the path of the beast right, you can summon actual poisonous animals. It'll be the same process.
I see you have thought this through quite a bit but even I know the limits of my power." Mukuro said looking up at the girl. She sat down on her knees tucking her dress under her knees." Indeed but that's why you need an amplifier. Are you curious why I'm locked up in this place." She smiled, there was a sudden breeze as it went through her locks she waited for Mukuro's answer, but he never replied. " your silence means one of two things. You are either interested in what I'm capable of doing or you don't really care but either way I need your help. I'm not much of a fighter only when I have to but my own ability will be of use to you if you want it. I'll give you some time to think about it, and when you've made your decision just give me a call." The girl stood up dusting off her dress. " ah and for the moment my name is Yume. Though please feel free to address me as you wish." She added. Mukuro smiled devilishly as the girl started to fade out of his illusion. Leaning against the base of the tree he thought about the girls offer.
He didn't say it but he was curious about her and what she meant by an amplifier. It was interesting and so was she, but to have answered right away would've been a sign of desperation, and he had to much pride for that, even in prison. He decided to wait and allowed some time to pass before giving her an answer.
