No matter what…
The silence of Kokuyo High was spooky. Nobody went back there after the defeat of Byakuran. Not even Chrome. Until…
Chrome went back to Kokuyo High for the first time since they defeated Byakuran in the future. It has been a long time since she visited her old "home", because of her changing to Namimori Middle. Anyways, the only reason she went back to Kokuyo High is because she wanted to bring back some memories. Of Mukuro-sama that she missed so much.
After she arrived, she stared at the beat up old school. When she entered, she saw the broken couch that she used to always sit on with Ken and Chikusa. Sitting on that for the first time since more than 3 months felt weird, knowing what happened during those months. Chrome, or should I say, Nagi, couldn't help but cry. Why? Mukuro. Mukuro was brought back to Vindice Prison. Despite his powerful capacities and great illusions, the Vindice was stronger this time.
As her tears began to drip on Chrome's light, gentle skin, she felt a hand holding her chin.
"Ah!" Chrome yelled, with her sweet and calm voice.
Her eyes, still blurred by her tears could still distinguish a dark indigo….mist. Right there, in front of her. When things began to clear up, she recognized the cute smile, the blue and red eyes, and the dark blue hair. Yes, indeed. It was Mukuro. But was it?
"Mu-mukuro-sama…What are you doing here?" asked Chrome.
"I missed you, Nagi." Mukuro said with his usual, sexy smile.
"But...How are you here?" Chrome asked, with a tiny smile on her face.
"It's an illusion, but don't worry for me. I will get out of Vindice real soon. Little Fran is going to help", Mukuro said with a relieving voice. "Will you wait for me, Chrome?"
"I…I…." Chrome looked down at the trident that Mukuro was holding. Then she looked at her Vongola ring. "Of course I will, Mukuro-sama". A bigger smile showed on her face, the kind of smile that meant "I will help you", and it exactly what Chrome wanted to do.
"Thank you, Chrome." Mukuro said, looking straight in the eyes of Chrome.
At that moment, he took Chrome's small hand, and he realized. He always liked Chrome, but not in the way he liked her now. It was more that like…it was…Love. Chrome always cared about him, no matter what he did.
"Mukuro-sama, are you okay?" Chrome asked, obviously intimidated by the fact that Mukuro was lost in thoughts and was staring at her the whole time.
"Huh? Oh…yes." Mukuro answered, and his smile reappeared. "I have to go, but I will be back. Don't worry"
Those were the last words of the illusion. Then, it vanished.
The next thing she knew, she was running on the streets, desperate to find Tsuna. She knew that he and the rest of her Family, Vongola X, would help her deliver Mukuro from Vindice Prison.
"Mukuro-sama", Chrome whispered as she ran. "I will deliver you no matter what it takes".
