Character/s: Dokuro Chrome, Mukuro Rokudo and Hibari Kyoya

Genre: Hurt/Comfort

Summary: Rokudo Mukuro just had to let her go. He just had to let her be free. Chrome is growing up fast, and little by little, he feels he's not part of her life anymore.

A/N: I won't be sure this would work, since I'm not familiar with Mukuro's behavior and attitude. Anyways, I finished this in one day and I'm not that confident you'll like it.

If this story reached my target number of reviews, then I'll continue writing this piece of art. It will be: 69x96x18, it depends.

I do not own KHR! Amano Akira does!

MY JULIET AND HER ROMEO

la Pianissima

Rokudo Mukuro just had to let her go. He just had to let her be free. Chrome was growing up. She's discovering new things about life and he's too hurt to know he's not part of it.

She might be in love, he thought. NO! He couldn't accept that, he couldn't bear to acknowledge that fact. In his eyes, Chrome was still a child: innocent, defenseless, weak and gullible. He believes that she stills need him for guidance. But no more. He feels that she can already handle herself. She's already 15, for heaven's sake. Even if she was just a mere vessel for him, he still cared. He still favored. And he loves her.

[ Mukuro's POV ]

Maybe it was a bad idea to send her to school. Aside from educational knowledge, there are other things she could learn…like love. Damn. No. not that.

"Mukuro-sama…?" Chrome's voice lingered in my ears. The angelic hymn had awoken me from my melodramatic realization.

I turned my head around and saw her standing by the door, her right hand in mid-air. She must've knocked before she spoke my name.

"What is it, Chrome?" I asked, turning my head back around. I don't want to look into her eyes, so innocent, so pure. I just want to lunge and hug her then and there. I forgot I was staring at the old, mossy window. Suddenly, a dark, mushy black dot appeared on the opaque window glass.

"I'm going to school now and I won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. I already instructed Ken and Chikusa to buy your medicine and do the grocery. I finished teaching MM and Fran how to prepare some basic meals." She said with clear confidence. She has change, way too much. Since when did she learn how to cook?

Before, Chrome occasionally smiles but now, she does it everyday. And I'm deeply hurt that I'm not the cause of her happiness. It might be selfish of me, but it's the truth. I love Chrome.

"But isn't today a Saturday?" I asked.

"Yes, but we have to prepare for our School Festival the Monday after next week. My class will be doing a Shakespearian play."

"A play? Kufufufu~ Are you participating Chrome?" I asked in great interest. It will be refreshing to see a new face of Chrome.

"Y-yes. We will be performing R-romeo and J-j-juliet…I got chosen to be Juliet…" I turned my head around again. Chrome was blushing. She was very cute. I never noticed how good she looks on her Namimori uniform, but her Kokuyo uniform suits her better.

"Oya oya! You got the main role?! Kufufu~ Congratulations~ But, tell, me, who is playing Romeo? Is it Vongola?"

"Eeeh? No. Bossu is playing as my father, Lord Capulet."

"Then who is it?" I don't trust anyone else to touch my Chrome except for Sawada and his girl posses.

"H-hibari Kyoya is…" Ah, how I love how the world works. I never thought the red strings of destiny would pair up my Chrome to that Skylark. How despicable.

"Kufufufu~" I laughed silently at myself. Then a beeping sound rang.

"Ano… Mukuro-sama, I have to go now. Kyo-kun just texted me. He's waiting for me outside. I'll see you tomorrow then. Please take care." I heard her footsteps fading as she ran down the corridor.

Wait. Did she just say 'Kyo-kun'?

Kyo-kun?!

KYO-KUN?!

KYO-KUN?!

KYO-KUN?!

Sawada Tsunayoshi hasn't even had the guts to call that aloof Skylark by his first name! How could my Chrome…? There's something fishy goin' on here.

I saw the black dot from my blurry window faded and disappeared. I stood there for an hour, thinking deeply. That tonfa guy would never hit on my Chrome. He's not that type of person. He's anti-social, he hates gatherings, and he hates me. Chrome is like my second body. He would never dare touch my property.

But… there is that possibility…

I don't know what happened next. Everything went in a blur. One moment I was in Kokuyo, the next, I found myself in front of Namimori gate.

"Rokudo Mukuro." I heard a familiar voice.

"Kufufufu~ Hibari Kyoya, aren't you supposed to be practicing, oh, my dear Romeo~?" I teased him. But why I did that I did not know. I forgot to bring my trident. Why was I feeling this way? Why is it that my heart seems like an invisible hand is clutching it with no plans of letting go?

"How did you know about that?" He glared at me, eyes with malicious intent. His ever-so-near tonfas were automatically out, ready to beat the crap out of me.

"That's for me to know, and you to find out~ I have no time to deal with you, skylark. But I will watch your play, kufufu~" I disappeared through my mists. Why was I there in the first place? Why did seeing the aloof cloud hurt me?

Am I jealous? No. Impossible. Why would I be jealous?

[ End of Mukuro's POV ]

Crappy ending. I'm sorry. Like I said earlier, I'll continue this (it may be only one or two chapters more) if I reach a target number of reviews. If you don't like it, then don't review.
If you want to keep the story going, then please review, onegaishimasu~?

Oh, and thank you for reading!
