This story is centered on Mukuro Rokudo and Chrome Dokuro's complicated relationship. The story takes place after Chapter 349. The rest of the story line… will I guess you tune in to find out.

Still with you

Chapter 1: Eyes to watch over you

Chrome wandered what she did wrong for Mukuro to hate her, to send her away. The note that he left her meant serious for her. "Get out!" Is Mukuro done with her? After all those months of serving him, being loyal and staying true for her feelings for him? Is Mukuro completely done with her? Just like that.

The violet haired teen moved out of the ice cream parlor with Kyoko and Haru giggling happily in front of her. Chrome loved their company, even more that she could be with them everyday. But she couldn't be happy completely, now that she felt that she has been abandoned by Mukuro for reasons she doesn't even know.

"Chrome-chan?" Kyoko stopped on her pace as she looked at her friend with worried eyes.

It has been a week since Chrome transferred to Namimori middle school. She loved the place, moreover that she could be with her family. Tsuna and the rest of his friends have been accommodating, even Hayato who sometimes is annoyed with her seems to get along with her. Kyoko and Haru have been nice to take her shopping for new clothes. She enjoyed their company but not as much as she enjoyed Mukuro and his gang's company.

"He's only using you." MM's voice echoed in her ears. She could still vividly remember the time from the future when MM came into her and told her about Mukuro using her. Before, she didn't believed MM, but now, the tables have been turned.

"Do you need something?" Haru asked, eyeing her curiously.

Chrome shook her head, a small tint of blush apparent on her ivory cheeks. "I am all right. I am just thinking." Chrome replied.

Kyoko and Haru stared at each other. Chrome smiled brightly at them. "Let's go!" Chrome urged as she walked ahead of the two girls, her face downcast, her eyelids getting heavier.

As she walked, she felt warm tears cascade down from her eyes and into her cheeks. She continued to walk, hoping that her friends behind her wouldn't notice that she is now crying. With her fingers she wiped the tears away and sniffed softly. She looked pass her shoulder and saw Kyoko and Haru engaging into a conversation about pastries and cakes. They seem to be unaware of her crying and this calmed her.

She knows that she has been bothersome to others, she knew of that fact even if they don't tell her.

After moments of walking, Chrome found herself standing at the front porch of Kyoko's house. Kyoko's family has been nice to let her stay in their house for momentarily. Ryohei also loved the idea of her spending more time with her little sister. Kyoko on the other side has never been delighted to have Chrome around her.

"Are you coming inside?" Kyoko asked, opening the door for her.

Chrome looked at her friend, hoping that she could be as ecstatic and positive like her. She knew of her boss' crush on her but she kept it for herself. Tsuna loved Kyoko, as well as Haru and it only made Chrome envious of that thought. Would Mukuro love her the way Tsuna loves them?

Why would Mukuro love someone like her? She is only his vessel; nothing more, nothing less.

"Maybe MM's right," Chrome mumbled to herself as she walked towards Kyoko, who smiled at her. Maybe Mukuro is just using her for himself. And now that he is free from the Vindicare prison, maybe he doesn't need her anymore. But if he doesn't need her anymore, why is his illusion still apparent on her?

As she took a step inside Kyoko's house, she stopped beside her friend as tears came into view, falling down to her feet. Kyoko was alarmed by this as she moved closer to Chrome and wrapped her into a tight embrace. As Chrome hang into Kyoko's shirt and cried, burying her face on Kyoko's school vest, she was caught unaware of the fact that a certain white owl has been flying overhead them, heterochromatic eyes piercing into them like daggers.

All along, even in France, Mukuro is still watching over her.

Maybe MM's assumptions are wrong… Maybe Mukuro Rokudo cared a lot about Chrome.

So what do you all think of the first chapter? I love this pairing so much, sadly they aren't much in the limelight. I just love the new chapter, like Chrome staying around in Namimori but the sad part of this chapter is not having our dear Chrome with Mukuro in France as they look for Fran/Flan. Stay tune for the next chapters.
