Chapter 2
Confusing signals

If someone who dared to enter M.M.'s room (and survive), one will see many alarm clocks and remains of them around her room. They were rather cheap to come by, for her anyways with her ongoing conquest of rich men presents she keep asking for (Mukuro-sama will always have her heart(?)).

At he moment, she is training with her Clarinet, the Burning Vibrato. Clock after clock she explodes and time it of how long it takes to do so. Being locked up in Vendicare did wonders to her technique. As in badly, especially when they are going to fight the Vongola famiglia soon. Of course she also venting out about the recent inclusion of that Chrome girl.

She been taking away Mukuro-sama time with her. M.M. is not happy. Normally she would have shown her place or destroyed her, but Mukuro-sama needs that girl.

"What is so great about her anyways," she muttered. M.M. looks up and sees Yume-chan, the newly resident kitten in Kokuyo Land. M.M. tries her best to ignore that little furball that she knows is that girl's pet. But the thing is too cute for M.M. to ignore and tries to catch her. Yume-chan scratched her face in retaliation and got out of her room.

A furious M.M. barely arrives when Chrome's returns to base for her report. M.M. scowl at the girl, but looks doting at Mukuro-sama, who signaled his two underlings to join him.

"HAHAHA!" Ken laughs at the scratch on M.M.'s face.

"Shut up! You want to have a matching one?!" Ken scowl at her.

"Mukuro-sama, the young boy wields a sky flame," Chrome shyly put in. At this, M.M. feels like she is missing something, but isn't sure what. Everyone else looked rather thoughtful and turned to Mukuro for guidance.

After a long beat of silence, "We still going to proceed and if he is worthy..."

M.M. hates it when she is left out. She double her training and decides to buy more alarm clocks.

As he controls Lanchia to destroy the mafia, he searched for Cloak-san. After all only those with fine control of their flames, especially something as rare as sky flames, should be in the mafia or connected to it.

He heard weird rumors of an orange cloak saving the Gokudera ex-heir years back. But what truly caught his attention was a dream.

He was surprise to find someone so close to him that their dreams synchronized and connected such a way that he can speak with this little girl and her to him. He can feel the young girl's power so strongly. It was pure compared to his dark soul tainted by mafia blood he spilled (he doesn't feel anything about using his close escape by cloak-san by creating more chaos, jeoparidizing to be found again by the Vendice).

One night, he wondered (worried) she was there anymore. Then she appeared again for a long time they spoke, making him wonder, why she would not wake.

At one point he decided to use her to expand his reach. After all one can never have enough subordinates, willing or unwilling. He was close to swaying her, but she seemed bit resistant and something seemed to hold her back.

He found out when she agreed to follow him under one condition: to search for the orange cloak young man, Yoshi-san.

Mukuro smirked and readily agreed. Sure the young man disappeared again when Chrome, who is going to be his new vessel, explained, but he found a lead. A lead that led to Japan.

Mukuro sighs to himself, for all I know Yoshi-san might already be dead. So he decidees to appear in Tsunayoshi's room during their study groups meetings.

"Oya, Tsunayoshi! Did you ever had an older brother?" Mukuro asked laying on Tsunayoshi's bed, playing with his trident.

"W-what? I don't think so," Tsunayoshi frowned from the floor, which he fell off his chair during Reborn's "encouragements."

"Are you implying something, you crazy pineapple?!" the little faithful right hand man-child asked. He ignored Reborn's look.

"Shame," Mukuro dramatically sighed and sit up.

"I wanted see if I could have a pair of bodies to posses to share with Chrome", pouted Mukuro.

Tsunayoshi turned red while the storm brat was speechless.

"Mukuro you sure have a dirty mind, huh?" the rain ignorant brat nervously laughed. Tsunayoshi hid his face in his hands, lamenting about being surrounded by weirdos. Mukuro only smirked and disappeared.

Still no reports of Yoshi...Mukuro fears the possibilities of Yoshi's disappearance.

"Mukuro-sama, we have found reports of Yoshi-san," Chikusa interrupted Mukuro's thoughts. He had Ken and M.M. just arriving behind him.

"Oh really?" Mukuro smirked. At last something to work with. Being with that Decimo brat had him distracted on his life mission on locating Yoshi-san which is next to taking over the world and destroying the mafia.

"Those punks of that biting prefect also been looking for him and only recently got hold of interesting info, byon!" Ken put in rather excited.

"Well?" Mukuro was getting impatient at the suspense.

"Its top secret, so it will arrive tomorrow," M.M. put in as she shrugged, not really understanding the gravity of the situation.

Hmm, I guess I can wait a little longer...Mukuro hide his disappointment at smirking rather darker than usual at the nervous trio. When Chrome suddenly came into the base running, "Bossu is missing!"

Mukuro turned to Chrome confused, "My dear Chrome, he went on some training with that toddler earlier in the week."

Ken complained, "Shame too. Since I thought for sure there was going to be free food for that one party thing."

"As if I would have went, I still need to practice on my Clarinet," M.M. snorted as she checked her phone for any sales at the shopping mall.

"No! He said that so we wouldn't panic!" Chrome interrupted.

"What?!" The quartet yelled at her in surprise.

"Do you remember the beginning of his week? " Chrome asked Mukuro as the three subordinate decided to take a tactiful retreat.

"Of course, that kitten called and I also went to fight skylark... " Mukuro frowned. He knows something is off, but what?

"The others also sounded confused and checked their phones that even floating man* was curious by the VX-Phone acting up for no reason he understands!"

"Then I guess we are going to search for him," Mukuro responded at Chrome's worried face.

The things he does for repaying debt to a sky flame user. Yep, that boy is really trying to distract him from his life mission. Tsunayoshi owes him big!
