So first things first, THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEWS I HAVE RECEIVED TOGETHER WITH THE VIEWS AND HITS. I hope for more of your support and god bless to all of us! The next thing would be about my FINAL CLARIFICATIONS. I guess I am wrong about the things I said on the previous chapter so for my final words about that, THIS STORY WOULD BE SOMEWHAT OC. I was just really mistaken with the details I gave on the previous chapter. Sorry for being careless and irresponsible about that matter. Hope I already cleared about that issue. :)

People, here's the chapter three!


Chapter Three – A gift for Mist-sama

It's a beautiful Saturday morning, Tsuna as his common routine, decided not to do anything but stay at home and relax since the troubles this week were really TROUBLESOME, and he thinks that a Saturday relaxation time is just enough to relieve the stress. But additional to his routine is not to be able to attain or do it. It was just a sad truth for our star after all.

"Tsu-kun, you have a visitor waiting at the door." Nana said at the same time appearing at the doorstep of Tsuna's room. "Sorry, but can you please attend it? I'm still busy with these laundries."

"Oh, hai kaa-san!" Tsuna replied. He lazily stood up from the bed he was laying down a while ago, heading downstairs. 'Probably it was just Yamamoto or Gokudera-kun again. I hope they don't cause any trouble today, I was supposed to relax today wasn't it? Geez…' he thought to himself.

As he reached their entrance door at the same time opening it, he was surprised to see a much unexpected visitor. His guess…. It wasn't just right.

"Bossu, goodmorning." The girl with a pineapple-shaped indigo hair greeted him.

"C-chrome? G-goodmorning too." Tsuna greeted in surprise. He doesn't really expect to encounter Chrome for today. "So, w-what brings you here?" he asked nervously but tried to remain polite.

"Bossu, I c-came here t-to as-" Chrome was about to explain when suddenly someone interrupted her.

"Oh Tsu-kun, who is this young lady here?" Nana asked. "She looks a little bit new to me."

"Kaa-san? S-since when…..? uh forget it!" Tsuna gulped for a moment before continuing. "A-ano, Kaa-san, this is my gua- I mean my friend Chrome!"

"I see, how cute you are! Why don't you come inside first?" Nana asked trying to invite Chrome.

"B-but!" Chrome tried to say no but Tsuna's mother already grabbed her hand and lead her to the dining room. "Come' on, no need to be shy, just make yourself at home!" Nana said. Chrome, on the other hand, can't do anything but blush. 'Guess I can't do anything about it eh?' Tsuna thought, letting out a sigh.


At the Dining Room…

"Here, sit down for a while ne? I will just prepare some tea for you." Nana said, excusing herself from the two teenagers.

"So Chrome, why did you came here at the first place?" Tsuna asked.

"Bossu, I-I was-" At the second time, she was cutoff AGAIN.

"Goodmorning Jyuudaime!" Gokudera greeted, appearing at the room's doorway together with Yamamoto. "How-" He was about to continue when he saw the girl she never expected to visit his boss' house. "C-chrome?" he asked filled with confusion. "What are you doing here?" he continued. Nana suddenly appeared, carrying the tray with teas.

"Ara? Good morning Yamamoto and Gokudera-kun! Sorry if I wouldn't be able to have a nice chat with you, especially to this little girl since I am still busy with housework. So I will leave them to you, ne Tsu-kun? Excuse me for a moment." Nana said, excusing herself from now the four teenagers.

"Now Chrome, what are you doing here?" Gokudera asked impatiently, sending a cold glare at the mist guardian. Filled with nervousness from Gokudera's cold glare, Chrome couldn't speak, making the storm guardian let out a grunt.

"Maa maa Gokudera, just relax. We don't know yet why Chrome went here at the first place, right Tsuna?"

"Y-yes." Tsuna then turned to his mist guardian. "So, um, what brings you here now, Chrome?" he asked.

"Bossu, I-I want to…"Chrome breathed deeper before continuing, "…I want to ask you a favor!"

"A favor?" Tsuna asked at the same time confused.

"Favor? What the hell are your thinking to ask a favor from Jyuudaime?"Gokudera blurted.

"Maa, maa Gokudera-kun, don't you think we should hear her out first?" Yamamoto tried to calm the storm guardian.

"Shut up Babeball idiot! I don't need your cranky talks!"

"Hahahaha! Nice term you've got there."

"Everyone, relax for a while will you?" Tsuna tried to intervene between the two.

"Apologies, Jyuudaime!"

"Now Chrome, go ahead and tell us what the favor is all about." Tsuna said, really trying to know on how his 'Saturday Relaxation Day' ends.

"T-thank you bossu. After our fight against the first generation mist guardian, Mukuro-sama is really exhausted with the fight. He always space out and made us leave the room he is staying in. When I asked him if everything would be fine, he would always answer me with a very dull yes. I knew it bossu, he is not well." Chrome explained.

"Um, so now what's the favor?" Tsuna asked again.

"A-ano bossu, I want to make Mukuro-sama happy again by giving him a present!" Chrome answered.

"Present?" the three men said at the same time.

"Y-yes, that's why I came here to ask for your help, bossu."

An odd silence suddenly entered the room. Well, who wouldn't be troubled if they gave a present into a person who seems to be very distant with them and had once tried to kill Tsuna. A joke must be playing around them. But Tsuna can tell, this wasn't a joke for Chrome. He does not need his hyper intuition to tell it to him, the look on her face answers everything.

"Ahahahaha!" Yamamoto laughed, trying to break the icy silence. "I think this would be a little bit hard since Mukuro is a very secretive person among us."

"Didn't Mukuro said that he's just fine? Then he's fine! A person like him doesn't need to be comforted at the first place! I highly doubt that he doesn't even know how a present works. A person like him, tch, forget it!" Gokudera highly disagreed about accepting the favor.

"Bossu, I'm begging you to help me. I know that somehow, you didn't share good moments with Mukuro-sama, but please, do help me." Chrome begged.

Tsuna looked to his rain and storm guardian, awaiting for their advices or opinions against the favor. "Ahahaha! It's up to you Tsuna, I don't really mind at all." Yamamoto was the first one to give his point of view. But just how Yamamoto easily agreed with the idea, it turns to be opposite with Gokudera. "Jyuudaime, I refuse for you to help at that favor! Even if we belong into one family, I will be honest that I do not trust him at all."

With all those opinions said, Tsuna tried to think deeper. Seeing that look in Chrome's face just made it harder to decide. He really wants to accept it since he is very thankful of Mukuro in their previous battles, but it kinda felt awkward. Gokudera is somehow right too. It is true that Mukuro tried to end his life once. It was just really hard to decide, but in every moment, we just need to make decisions.

"A-ano," Tsuna gulped for a moment. "…we should help her."

"T-thank you bossu!" A soft smile and giggle escaped Chrome's lips.

"I guess I can't do anything about it, if that's what the boss said, I should follow it." Gokudera said.

"So um, how shall we start?" Tsuna asked.

"Hahaha! I guess the shopping district would be fine ne?" Yamamoto suggested.

"I think so, well, let's go." Tsuna said, leading the way outside of their house. 'I hope I didn't made a big mistake out of here.'


In the Shopping District…

As the group reached the shopping district, they were greeted by different stores that sell various items. Chrome keeps on wondering on the place like a child, thinking what gift would be perfect for his Mukuro-sama.

"Now, what would be the perfect gift for Mukuro?" Tsuna asked.

"I think it would be best if we let Chrome decide on this thing since she was the one who knew Mukuro more than any of us, right?" Yamamoto suggested.

Tsuna nodded in agreement of Yamamoto. "Y-yes, I think so. Chrome, do you know what would be his ideal present?"

Chrome looked to his boss with a confused face. "Bossu, I think I don't know. I never expected to encounter so many stores and items when buying presents. I think I'm a little confused too." Tsuna let out a sigh after hearing it but he can feel Gokudera twitching in anger. He pulled his jacket to stop him before he even explodes in anger.

"Maa maa, calm down Gokudera." Yamamoto said trying to calm down everyone. "Hmmm, why don't we try on giving him something about sports?"

"Sports?" Tsuna and Gokudera asked at the same time.

"Ahahaha! I mean like maybe he just needs to be active in the outside world. It would be good too if he would be more fit. What do you think?"

"I think we should give it a try, ne Gokudera-kun and Chrome?" Tsuna asked.

"I guess so, Jyuudaime."

"That would be fine for me, bossu."

And so the group headed into a sports shop. As they arrive, the first thing that Yamamoto suggested is to buy Mukuro a baseball equipment but of course, Gokudera disagreed since he thinks it would be just according to his likings. The silver haired man suggested basketball but then Chrome reminded him that Mukuro might not like to run and run into a place back and forth and it will cost him so much stamina. The last one to give suggestion was Tsuna, and he picked some equipments for rugby. But then since we all know that Tsuna is not really into sports and somewhat rugby doesn't really fit with Mukuro's personality, his suggestion was denied. At the end, the sports suggestion was a no.

"Mou, I think sports is not Mukuro's game, what shall we do then?" Tsuna asked, disappointed.

"S-sorry bossu for causing you so much trouble, perhaps we should stop this." Chrome said.

"N-no!" Tsuna looked at Chrome who will almost cry. "I mean, I think Mukuro is still my guardian. I owe him a lot since he joined us in many battles. He deserve this even he a-almost try to kill me in the past." Tsuna gave Chrome a reassuring smile, promising to give Mukuro a present that is worthy enough.

"Jyuudaime, maybe since Mukuro is not a person who likes physical activities, how about logical things?" Gokudera suggested.

"Maa Gokudera, I think your right." Yamamoto agreed.

"Hmm, let's go!" Tsuna said leading the way.

For their second destination, the group headed into a bookstore. Yamamoto found some great novelty books but then he was ignored by Gokudera since he was busy explaining to Tsuna and Chrome the different aspects of a book. Tsuna decided on why don't they buy mangas but Gokudera insisted that if they pick a book, it should be full of learnings. The silver haired man then picked some dictionaries, thesaurus, an 8-inched encyclopedia, atlas, algebra book and almanac. Chromo looked at Tsuna questioningly but he saw his boss looking worriedly at the books who looked like a tower. Tsuna told Gokudera that perhaps Mukuro will not carry to read all those educational books, if he was lucky then how lucky just he is. Lastly, they cannot afford that so much quantity of books. Tsuna asked him if maybe a book will do but Gokudera protested that you should learn this all at a time. At the end, they went out of a bookstore still nothing to have as a present. As they walk with nowhere to go, they spotted two ladies waving at them.

"Tsuna-kun! I never expected to see you here." Kyoko greeted them

"Me too, Tsuna-san!" Haru said. "W-wait, is that Chrome-chan?"

"Y-yes, I was helping her to get a perfect present for Mukuro but we still end up with nothing." Tsuna let out a sigh.

The two girls looked to each other as if exchanging messages through their minds. At last they looked to Tsuna and group with a great determination on their faces. "Let's go Chrome-chan!" the two said in unison and they dragged Chrome. She tried to protest but to no avail. "Ahahaha! I guess the girls knew so much with these things." Yamamoto gave a laugh. "I think so. Let's go, we don't have a choice but to follow them." Tsuna then proceed into following the three girls.


The group then arrived into a shop filled with a pleasing aroma. The atmosphere was relaxing, everything was just perfect.

"Now Chrome-chan, me and Kyoko decided to lead you in our favorite place, the cake shop!" Haru then lead Chrome into the counter filled with different kinds of cakes. Some are circle, others are square and some are just made for customization.

"A-ano, Kyoko-chan," The said girl looked toward Tsuna.

"Hm?"

"Why have you decided that a cake would be perfect as a gift?" Tsuna asked.

"I think it's because that a cake gives us a different sensation. As a person ate it slowly, sometimes you will feel very relax about it. I also think it brings us the desire and contentment in every bite, but sometimes a single slice wouldn't just be enough so we try to grab one again to feel its unending taste." Kyoko then giggled.

Tsuna could only sweatdrop about this. It was just a girl's thing or something deeper. Tsuna felt a hand on his shoulder and when he looked up, it was just Yamamoto. "I know it was just really hard to understand, ne? But I think that makes a girl's personality strong and different among us." He said.

"Yamamoto?" Tsuna tilted his head in confusion.

"Maa maa, that's what make them appeal and leave out a mark in our hearts." Yamamoto then gave a soft chuckle.

Tsuna could only look at the three girls who was slowly approaching them. They were just really hard to understand eh?

"We had already bought a present!" Haru exclaimed.

"That good!" Yamamoto let out a frown.

The group then proceeds to go to Kokuyo Land to deliver Mukuro's present.


At Kokuyo Land…

The group entered into a room filled with a rotten wood furniture, damp curtains, dilapidated walls and scuzzy floor. Tsuna then saw a familiar pineapple spikes in a nearby olive colored sofa. He seems to be fine, no respirators or dextrose within him opposite on what he had expected. He looks like spacing-out, staring outside as if waiting for a hail to appear in the sky.

"M-mukuro-sama…" Chrome take a bow as a respect.

"Hm. Looks like you brought some unexpected visitors?" Mukuro said without looking into the direction where the group is.

"A-ano Mukuro…" Tsuna gulped. "Chrome came to my house this morning to ask my advice in giving you a perfect present."

"Present?" Mukuro asked, finally turning his head toward, gaining some interest.

"Y-yes, Go ahead Chrome and show him what you bought for him."

Chrome then slowly walked to Mukuro, handing him a brown box tied with red ribbons. She stepped backward then bowed her head again for the second time. She slowly looked up trying to wait for his Mukuro-sama's reaction. Meanwhile, Mukuro had already untied the ribbon and a chocolate cake stood before him.

"Kufufufufu, sorry to say but I don't like sweet things."

"You bastard!" Gokudera can't take it anymore so he activated his C.A.I system and pointed his skull gun to Mukuro. "We spent all afternoon to look a good present for you and this is all we get?"

"Gokudera-kun!" Tsuna pulled his right hand man's right arm in order to stop him before he ruins everything. Yamamoto patted Gokudera's back to calm him. Meanwhile the two girls seem to be afraid on what's going to happen next.

"Kufufufufu, come here my dear little Chrome." Mukuro ordered. Chrome did as what she was told so, and the next thing she knew, Mukuro grabbed her wrist so they would look like as if they were cuddling each other. A dark shade of pink has covered Chrome's face.

"M-mukuro-sama?" Chrome tried to protest but Mukuro hold her tightly.

"Of course my dear Chrome, the perfect gift I can receive is nothing but only you." Chrome blushed harder. "T-thank you, Mukuro-sama." She replied in thanks.

After a few minutes, the two break up from their cuddling position. "Go ahead my dear Chrome and enjoy your time with your friends." Mukuro said.

"Y-yes Mukuro-sama." Chrome then lead Kyoko, Haru, Gokudera, Yamamoto outside. Tsuna was about to follow when Mukuro called his name.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi." Mukuro called.

"What?" Tsuna asked with respect but filled with curiosity

"Be sure to choose the right decision, whatever you chose, the mist will always cover a sky." Mukuro replied in a soft yet delicate tone.

"W-what do you mean?"

"Kufufufufufu." The question was left unanswered as Mukuro disappeared into the mist, leaving Tsuna with a question mark on his head. He then decided to go home before the sun sets itself.


At Tsuna's room…

Okay, so Tsuna was really exhausted for today's present shopping, but he was really happy the he was able to make Chrome happy. He curled himself into a ball, smiling to himself when suddenly he heard something landed on his desk.

"R-reborn?" Tsuna asked. He hasn't seen Reborn since morning, now that he had realized it.

"Listen Tsuna." Reborn said with a serious face paired with a dull musky voice. "You have to make a decision regarding this problem.

"P-probem?" Tsuna began to wonder whether this has something to do with what Mukuro said a while ago.

"You need to leave."


So it was just a little cliffhanger from there, sorry bout' that and also, sorry for the long wait since I have some serious problems to deal with. Anyways, about the OC, yeah maybe it will be, but I won't flood it with too many since sticking with the original characters will be my goal. I also apologize if I made Chrome a little bit OC here and she is one of the factors why this came up late since she is one of the biggest and hardest character to write and also for SO MANY GRAMATICAL ERRORS AS ALWAYS.

Please do continue to await for my next chapter since it would be the real beginning of my story.
