Alright, Chapter 3! It's great to get more and more views every day but not getting many reviews! But I shall carry on! But I would LOVE reviews, maybe a few favorites and followers to pay the bills since I am living in a box right now :D! BUT ANYWAY, where we last left off Tsuna and Haru got into a HOT situation after Tsuna learns more about Haru's life and her pain! And it gets REALLY hot when he finds a condom in his jacket that slips out! Haru's reaction? Let's do it! So let the chapter begin!
There was a glow just beneath her school uniform's top that shined through the yellow cloth. Tsuna stared at the glow and was able to see from the shape of it that it was...a ring! Tsuna had felt this feeling before...from Yamamoto...? Rain flames! She had a rain ring hanging from her shirt like a necklace that was...reacting with his sky ring? Tsuna saw his ring glow in junction with her ring. 'What is going on?'
"H-Haru..." Tsuna said softly to her.
"Yes...my knight?" Haru said batting her eyes lashes at Tsuna. She was already in the "Take my body" position and was all ready to go. Her eyes were closed and her lips were puckered with rosy red cheeks. Tsuna saw how into this she was and he felt himself longing to do such things as well, but Tsuna's interest in that ring woke himself up from any "carnal" desires he may have had, and he sat upright. He already heard people screaming "Jerry!" in his head and wished to avoid any children at the moment. He needed to find out what that ring was in a sensible way and polite way…
"Take off your shirt, Haru!" he still had some carnal desires in his mind, but he thought saying this to a girl was reasonable enough. It's men's logic at its best.
"T-Tsuna-san...so b-b-b-bold! The guy is supposed to take it off for the girl you know...at least that's what I researched once...for research purposes!" she said, looking away shyly with blood rushing to her face.
"But it would be too indecent if I did it! I want you to do it instead; I have to see what's beneath your clothes!" Tsuna said confidently. Or naively.
Haru thought to herself frantically. "OH MY GOSH! Hahi! Tsuna-san is being so brave and bold! He really must be attracted to me! Finally desu! FINALLY! Those eyes are looking at me...looking at me...at my chest! Oh gosh this is so embarrassing..! But I told myself I will become a mafia boss's wife one day so I must do this for my Tsuna-san! He must be thinking all sorts of naughty things..." Haru thought as she gazed into Tsuna's manly gaze, those fiery brown eyes that were filled with powerful desires.
Tsuna needed to see that ring. 'Luckily, she has another shirt on under it,' he thought. 'But why is she being so reserved about it?' he wondered. But he guesses it would be embarrassing for a girl to take off her clothes in front of a guy. Especially after what just happened between them. He didn't realize what he was asking...maybe she knows what he meant?
"Okay Tsuna-san...I understand...I'll do it. I'll show you this secret of mine...(my breasts)" Haru complied.
"Oh...thanks Haru…It's really important that I see... (The Ring)"
Shyly she slowly pulled up her shirt and took it off giving Tsuna a shy look. She tossed her shirt away to the floor and let her body be taken by Tsuna's embrace...emotionally. Her face was red still, and she fell to prey to his intentions...the wrong ones at that.
"He's looking! He's looking! Hahi! I must...be brave...gotta...stay...calm!" She thought as her shirt came off showing a tank top she was wearing underneath. But also a glowing blue ring right in the center of her chest!
"May...I touch?" Tsuna asked gently as he motioned his hand towards her.
"Hahi...I mean...yes...go ahead Tsuna-san...a-anything for you," She said with a bright smile with the blood rushing to her face. She closed her eyes and looked away. He guessed this must be really new to her and didn't even understand the ring, and his own ring that glowed really bright. His sky flame feeling...harmonious with this ring on her chest. Like they were meant to be close. It's a hard feeling he tried to describe. He guesses he needed to take it off her now and compare.
"Oh god! What's he going to do first? Take my top off first so he can touch them directly? My mind can't take all of this stress! WHY DO MEN TORTURE US FEMALES? This is hard on us! What is he waiting for? Guys...are so scary..will he be gentle? Will he force me into doing kinky things? Hahi! Scary! Scary! Will he take pictures of me and exploit me for the MAFIA!? Sell me to drug lords or use me like a concubine!? That last part sounds fine but the rest! No..Tsuna-san...isn't like that. He will be kind and gentle for sure...I hope..." Haru was mentally freaking out before she opened her eyes to Tsuna who was looking back at her.
"Haru...here I go…" He said slowly.
"Tsuna...!" She cried out ready to be embraced
He took the ring-necklace off her neck and examined it. "Thanks, Haru! I was curious about this ring you have. Where did you get it?" He asked her.
"H-huh...?" She opened her eyes and looked at Tsuna. Closed her eyes and wiped them and then looked at Tsuna again. She sat up and eyed the necklace he had in his hand and the big naive smile on his face.
"My...necklace...?" She asked confused.
"Yeah you see it's glowing and reacting with my sky ring and-"
"MY NECKLACE!? MY BODY IS READY AND YOU GO FOR A RING?" Haru shouted before he could even finish his sentence he gets punched in the face and knocked down to the floor. Looking up, he sees that Haru is really angry as his face was throbbing! Maybe he shouldn't have just taken it he wondered? But what he didn't notice was for a moment her ring had turned red. And for a second, it felt like Gokudera was nearby.
"UGHH TSUNA-SAN! You...you..." Haru turned her hands into fists. Her aura felt like a giant bear about to crush a small animal!
"H-Haru! I am sorry! I didn't mean to do anything wrong but they're glowing!" She stopped for a moment when he said that and looked at the rings in his hands.
"W-Woah! It's never done that before! Cool!"
'It's amazing how fast her train of thoughts go,' Tsuna thought, and was thankful for it.
He looked at the two rings in both of his hands. Her ring was glowing its peaceful blue color. Rain flames for sure, but what was that Storm feeling he felt? Faint but close for sure he thought. It was only for a moment but Tsuna felt the dying will flame of the Storm.
"What is this Haru-san?" Tsuna asked Haru.
"Oh it's a gift, from Reborn-san! He gave it to us on his way to somewhere. He said we would need it for something. Just a week ago I think!" Haru exclaimed with her hand scratching her head to remember everything.
"A week ago...that's when Reborn left to see Grandpa!" Tsuna looked down at the ring to fully examine it. It looks very similar to his sky ring, and sure enough, it has the Vongola symbol on it, but it's smaller in comparison to his. It also has a lion like his does, but on the opposite end to his ring and a bit smaller. It also has a chain, but he noticed it was like his chain; it was not connected to anything, but she used it like a necklace. "What ring was this? A rain Vongola ring? But it's not a part of the Tri-ni-sette since Yamamoto has that ring," Tsuna thought to himself.
"Uuuu, our rings look really similar Tsuna-san! Was this a gift from you? Huh? Huh?" She said as she nudged Tsuna playfully and had her chest come in contact with him. Which he quickly backed up from, face blushing.
"Uhh...no, but this ring..do you know anything else about it?" Tsuna asked her.
"Hmm...nope, not at all!" Haru said with a big goofy smile. Tsuna was truly worried for this girl and her obliviousness. Oddly enough, when Tsuna called Haru oblivious he felt some irony from those words. He wondered why.
"Oh...well, Haru...about this ring…" Tsuna explained to her everything about rings, dying will flames, the Vongola Rings, and a bit about the Tri-ni-sette. Though he wasn't sure if she understood everything but she got the main idea of it all.
"So this...is a really powerful ring to the mafia you belong too? And I have it...? Why would he give this ring to us?" Haru said as she gazed at the ring she took back from Tsuna. She thought about what having this ring could mean to her, the danger…the fear…the life Tsuna must face constantly. Yet, she also thought about how much closer she could get to him.
"I...I don't know everything about it for sure. I have never seen or heard about it, but it is a Vongola ring for sure. But I guess that means you have a rain flame since its blue..." Tsuna assumed, but felt that was kind odd for Haru, not that your Flame always matches your personality like the Arcobaleno for instance. But it's weird; he wouldn't exactly picture Haru as a rain person at all. He guesses she can be tranquil like Yamamoto but, he figure she would be more like the Sun with how cheery she is like Ryohei.
"Ehhhh!? I want to be Sky like you!" Haru stomped her foot on the ground in anger. She folded her arms across her chest and pouted with a frown.
"Uhh, well Sky is really rare..." Tsuna tried to explain.
"But from the sound of it. You know more people with the sky flame than you do the other!" Haru yelled at him.
Thinking about it, counting every Vongola boss there was, Tsuna does know OF a lot of sky flame holders but they're not ALIVE today. Not that he really knows why the Sky flame is such a rare flame anyway.
"Wait...you said us, didn't you?" Tsuna realized Haru had said a moment ago after he explained everything to her.
"Huh? Oh yeah, me and Kyoko," Haru said smiling at Tsuna who simply stared at her. "K-KYOKO!?" He yelled in shock. Tsuna nearly lost all his reasoning in that single moment.
"Yeah! He gave both of us identical rings!" She exclaimed, "Isn't that nice of Reborn?"
"...Dammit, Reborn..." Tsuna sat back up on the couch in fear, panicking. "What the hell is Reborn thinking? Why did he give them both rings? Does he plan on making them fight? Oh, dammit! I have to ask him tomorrow, I guess...how can he put their lives...dammit!" Tsuna thought in his head. He was frustrated at Reborn for forcing Haru and Kyoko into this. He knew if they had rings, then he must expect them to do something dangerous for the Vongola. Once again, people are being forced into a world they didn't ask for!
"Tsuna-san...is everything okay?" Haru got closer to him after noticing Tsuna's rage. Tsuna looked back at her and saw her worry. So he decided to act like he was fine.
"Oh...yeah...thanks Haru-san..." Tsuna said, but thought, "NO! It's not okay! How could it possibly be okay? Two innocent people...two more lives...thrown into this world...
I—"
She grabbed his hands with the rings between his palms and smiled at him. He suddenly felt at peace...like his stress was taken away. Like there was nothing to worry about at all. And without a second's notice, Haru kissed him on the cheek and walked off with her ring in hand.
"Hehe, a gift from me to you for listening to me, Tsuna-san! I'll go get you some food, okay? So smile; if you don't, then how can I smile for tomorrow?" Haru said with a giggle before she went into the kitchen.
"O..oh...okay..." Tsuna said gently to her. She hopped away into the kitchen as Tsuna, dumbfounded, just looked at the time. He just got kissed by a girl; a girl he thought he didn't love or notice too much. But he didn't mind it...and he felt happy that he got it, strangely enough.
"I hope Chrome isn't having a crazy night like I am with this trial!" he exclaimed as he looked out the window. What was the actual point to all of this? There had to be something more, he wondered, but he couldn't put his finger on it. However, he believed that Chrome, who spent so much time with Mukuro, would be great at this whole thing.
"Umm...Kyoko-san...is all this really necessary...?" Chrome asked Kyoko meekly.
"Hmm? Of course! We finally get to have a sleep over, and I never get to have those! It's my first time with a friend, so naturally, we must do makeovers! At least that's what the internet said!" Kyoko exclaimed cheerfully to Chrome, who felt like she being was forced into doing something horrible.
"Oh geeze, why does she have to do this?" Chrome thought to herself, looking in the mirror. "She has me as she says, Girly-upped! This is embarrassing! But it's so...different. My hair is let down to fall halfway on my shoulders. A light pink lip gloss for my lips complimented by blush on my cheeks, and eye liner to top it off. But this look isn't anything too new to me. It has been a while since I've seen this girl in the mirror...the girl named Nagi...before I became Chrome Dokuro for Mukuro-sama... " Chrome thought as she remembered Mukuro's face.
"I guess you must like it Chrome-chan?" Kyoko smiled at her.
"Huh..oh...yes. It's...cute." Chrome actually wanted to disappear from the world and think nothing else of anything. After the battle of the rainbow, Mukuro had finally accepted her and thought of her as an equal. But she made no progress with her love, and she didn't know how to. She accepted this trial hoping to get a clue on how to solve this, as well as to aid Tsuna, her boss, in whatever he may need of her. Yet, so far, she is still the shy girl who can barely speak.
"Hehe, I knew you would like it! But geeze, all that work sure got me hungry now. But it was well worth it to see how beautiful you are, Chrome-chan!" she laughed as she stretched her arms out.
"Me? Beautiful?" Chrome pondered such a thing. "I have never once thought of myself as a beautiful girl. Not once. I never had friends to tell me if I looked good or not; I was always anti-social. Not even my own mother or father complimented me on my looks as their only daughter...but looking at myself, I was embarrassed. Would...would Mukuro-sama like my appearance? Call me..beautiful?" Chrome reached out to the mirror, making an illusion of him appear for a brief moment before Kyoko called her over to the bed and she dispelled it. Chrome got up from her seat and sat next to her on the bed.
"So Chrome-chan, what really made you want to stay at my house? It was so sudden of you to ask such a thing when I know you're kind of shy," Kyoko looked to her and asked Chrome sternly.
"I can't tell Kyoko that I'm basically spying on her to gather information for boss! I'll be labeled as some creepy person! A stalker! Pervert! I'll be Dr. Shamal!" Chrome announced in her mind with worrisome thoughts. But looking at Kyoko and her room, Chrome couldn't tell much about her besides she is a girl. An ideal girl, someone she is kind of jealous of. She sort of wishes she was as naturally pretty as her without this makeup...but then again, she wondered why she cared so much about her looks. But the answer, she already knew very well in her own heart.
But even her pajamas are girly and pretty, and her appearance in its entirety was pretty. Kyoko wore a light-gray t-shirt with long pink pajama pants. She gave Chrome a matching shirt, except Chrome had shorts on. She wanted to check out Chrome's legs, she joked, but really, she just didn't have any other sleepwear. She was the beautiful one, Chrome believed. She shook her head in disbelief that she was actually thinking about such things. Of course, she realized, when you're in love with someone, you want to be someone they can love, and do anything for them.
But Chrome just simply spoke despite not knowing why. "I...wanted to be more like you..." She said softly to Kyoko as she looked away from her for a moment.
"Huh?" Kyoko said confused with her eyes focused on Chrome now and listened intently to her.
"I..I mean...girly! More...like a girl..." Chrome had to explain to Kyoko to avoid a misunderstanding.
"Oh...awww, Chrome-chan, you're so cute!" Kyoko was starting to be consumed by Chrome's moe. She hugged Chrome suddenly, and her body froze up, still not used to this kind of thing yet, so her mind did its natural protective instincts. Play dead.
"You see..I was worried, you know? You are usually shy and keep to yourself. But I really would want to be better friends and get to know you better, Chrome-chan!" Kyoko said as her hand touched Chrome's, but Chrome didn't look at their hands. Chrome felt warm and happy, like a boost of energy had just shot into her. She actually felt too happy...too energized...her body felt so warm...like the sun. The...sun...sun flames?
Chrome looked down at her hand quickly and noticed a ring on Kyoko's finger that was glowing a bright yellow with sun flames radiating from it and energizing her body. Chrome quickly pulled away from her with what she noticed was enhanced strength and speed of her hand's movement.
"C-Chrome-chan? Are you alright?"
Chrome didn't want to admit it, but her sun flame energy was making her feel so happy and energized she might have had to "switch teams" to survive with her. "Sorry Mukuro-sama..." She thought to herself.
"I'm...okay...I think... but where did you get that ring?" Chrome asked, pointing to her hand.
"Oh, this? It's a present from Reborn! Do you like it?" Kyoko said as she flashed it to her playfully.
"Oh...yeah...it's uhh cute," Chrome wasn't sure what to make of it or what to do. "Is this part of our mission?" she thought.
"Yeah, but its design is kind of weird with this lion... And I don't think I have an outfit that will go with it...oh! I know, let's try out some outfits to go with your makeup!" Kyoko exclaimed in joy with a girlish laugh.
"O-oh no, you don't have to do that!" A death flag has been raised for Chrome's self-esteem.
"Oh, it's fine, I have plenty of dresses! There is a guy you want to impress, right?" Kyoko joked again playfully.
"A guy...how did you know I..." Chrome's face turned a deep red, and her body froze in shyness. She wanted...to make him call her beautiful. But..can she?
"Well, this might seem wrong, but let's get you out of those clothes!" Kyoko said smiling at Chrome whose jaw dropped. She really wished she went with Haru instead of Kyoko. She desperately wished that she could die and be reborn as a hermit crab and stay in her shell all day! Life was so cruel...
Kyoko then slowly walked towards her with that glowing ring of happiness that was a death flag to Chrome. That ring was the king of the underworld itself! It was evil!
"K-Kyoko?!" Chrome screamed in her head in fear. "My heart isn't ready for this! I'm too close to the other team, Kyoko! I like boys, I promise you!"
But when she put her hand back on Chrome, she felt that rush of energy. Her sun flame is very powerful...she is related to Ryohei, but this is a lot to handle, Chrome realized. How is she even transferring this much Flame energy to her? Yet she doesn't seem to know it herself as Kyoko kept smiling at her.
"She has this kind of ability? Wow! So powerful! So fast! My mind is thinking really fast too!" Chrome thought to herself in a frenzy of thoughts. Her mind was having rapid thoughts that actually began to hurt her head. Chrome couldn't resist Kyoko at all as her clothes went flying off and she lied there on the bed as Kyoko undressed her. She looked like a fresh "victim" to an obscene crime as she twitched on the bed. Kyoko went looking through her closet whistling a tune, completely ignoring the signs of the girl spazzing out on her bed.
"Hmm...do you like this, Chrome-chan?" she held out an outfit for Chrome to see.
However, Chrome felt...too dizzy to think straight...too much energy rushing to her head. She felt hyper, but she couldn't think to make herself move or cover her body which only had her underwear and bra on it. She would've been a lot shyer about this even with another girl if Kyoko hadn't taken her clothes off to make Chrome feel better about changing in front of somebody. Chrome truly questioned where this was going as did the author of this story who may or may not have enjoyed himself a bit as he wrote this. (Please note female sleepovers are nothing like this. If they are then send a video to the author~)
"Wait...no, this isn't like me either way...what ability is this..? Is this the information Reborn was talking about? Sleepovers are scary...I want to go home..." Chrome hoped in her mind as she prayed softly to herself.
"Oh, a purple dress! I didn't know I had this, well this was supposed to be for Tsuna-kun—I mean his party...I mean...I mean…uhh…" Kyoko quickly tried to cover up what she said. Chrome could think a little bit clearer now and looked at Kyoko, who she guessed thought she didn't catch that due to her attempt to brush it off like nothing.
"B-Boss...? You mean that dress was something you wanted to wear for Tsuna-san?" Kyoko sighed as she stood next to Chrome, who managed to quickly get herself up from the bed like a rabbit and hopped away from her in fear. Kyoko then sighed again and looked sadly at her. She waited a moment before speaking and then opened her mouth.
"Oh...yeah, it's kind of hard to say, but...I...well, you see...Tsuna-kun...can you keep a secret, Chrome? I mean...I kind of wanted to tell someone this, but...it was hard for me to say. I really...I just realized this today thanks to Haru and... I haven't told anyone this but I...I think I love—"
"EXTREMEEEEE! I HAVE RAMEN, KYOKO AND CHROME-SAN!"
Ryohei announced before barged through the door with ramen in his hands and stopped. He saw Chrome's half-naked body lying on the bed, which made her quickly cover herself with her arms in shock, and Kyoko hid her own nakedness with the dress she was holding. Kyoko looked at Chrome, who looked back at Kyoko, who looked at Ryohei. Then Ryohei looked at Kyoko, who looked at Chrome, who was looking at Ryohei. A moment of silence and awkwardness filled the air.
"Onii-chan..." Kyoko said lowly.
"Kyoko...Chrome..." Ryohei nodded and said.
"H-Hello..." Chrome shyly waved at Ryohei.
From this scene alone, one could definitely get a Yuri sense from this. Ryohei stared at them both and thought, "At least my sister doesn't have a boyfriend..."
"Ryohei Sasagawa! GET. OUUUUT!" Kyoko shouted as she quickly threw random items at Ryohei, which knocked him out cold outside the door. She ran up to the door and closed it, locking it swiftly, letting out a sigh of relief when she did.
"S-Sorry about him, he never knocks, Chrome-chan. Are you alright?" Kyoko turned back with a sheepish smile to Chrome who sat up and glared at her.
"Please...give my clothes back, Kyoko-san..." Chrome said coldly.
"O-Okay..."
Despite all that had happened in the past hours, it was now nearing midnight. Chrome was admittedly having a fun time with Kyoko, talking about girl things like clothes, idols, and music, and she smiled a bit more. It's the first time she has ever truly felt like a girl, or felt this way with a friend. Thinking about it...can she call Mukuro her friend? Or Ken or Chikusa? She realized she thought of them as comrades, but Tsuna...and the Vongola...she thought of them more as friends...
"He is always nice to me, along with everyone else in the Vongola Famiglia. Maybe I should do things more often with them...but would Mukuro-sama like that? Ah, but then, am I doing this as a guardian...or a friend...?" Chrome lost in her thought remembered what she came here for and looked to Kyoko.
"Kyoko-san...what were you saying before?" Chrome asked her as they sat next to each other downstairs in the kitchen at a table, both eating the ramen Ryohei brought.
"Hmm?" She had a mouthful of ramen and swallowed it all up before speaking.
"Oh...that...well...you have to tell me one of your secrets too, Chrome! A secret for a secret!" Kyoko quickly said. It's an eye for an eye, so they both have some leverage on the other. It was her fail safe plan!
"Ah...my secret...well, I don't... have any—" Chrome tried to say, before Kyoko got in her face.
"You have to tell me the guy you like! In exchange for the one I'm about to tell you...deal?"
She never EVER admitted to anyone but herself her feelings for Mukuro, but could she tell Kyoko?
"D-Deal..." Chrome said softly as she just decided to give in for the sake of her mission.
"Okay…Well I haven't exactly liked this guy for a long time but...he is different. I always thought he was...different. Sure, he doesn't have the best grades or is even the strongest looking guy, but he is so kind. He is like a hero. He can be so cool and brave, and wants to do anything he can for his friends and family. And—"
"The...boss? Tsuna-san?" Chrome asked.
"Y-Yes. I lo-love him. Heh…I said it. I love Tsuna-kun...He's protected me so many times before, and he was so heroic as he did it. But until recently, I just thought of him as a close friend. But when I saw him with...my best friend, I felt angry...jealous...I wanted him to look at me. To only look at me! And just a week ago, I think he might have wanted to confess to me or maybe that's what my heart wanted it to be...Tsuna is special, you know? I...can't believe I was so slow to see that, but Haru has liked Tsuna long before I did. I was quite oblivious to him...I doubt he will even like me...such a quiet girl that hasn't really got the chance to show him what kind of person she is...haha..." Kyoko looked down at her hands and gazed at the emptiness of them, thinking resembled the "one-sided" love she felt she had.
"Oh...Kyoko-san...I...that's...great!" Chrome exclaimed. Kyoko looked at her oddly. Chrome was excited to know that if Kyoko likes Tsuna, this makes the trial that much easier! Tsuna can get a wife and Chrome just...set them up?
"Is it really? This is the first time I've admitted I have loved a guy...or my feelings for him. It's weird, haha… I'm such a dork, aren't I?" Kyoko said playfully but Chrome assured her it wasn't so.
"No...it's wonderful, Kyoko-san...you can be so honest with yourself when I can't," Chrome said in a mellow tone. She also just recently admitted her love for Mukuro so she understood Kyoko well.
They both looked at each other, and Kyoko put her hand on Chrome's again. Thinking she was going to get an energy shot, she was surprised when she felt peace instead...tranquility. Her ring was emitting rain flames. It...changed flames? The ring itself changed colors from yellow to blue as well! What kind of ring is this and what power or connection does it have to Kyoko? Chrome couldn't help but think about it; it looked similar to Tsuna's ring. Perhaps...
"Well, your turn to confess, Chrome-chan!" Kyoko said cheerfully and stopped Chrome's thoughts.
"E-Eh? Oh well...I uh..." Chrome pulled away and felt her energy to confess diminish all of a sudden. "Oh come on, you can tell me! I told you, and that wasn't easy!" Kyoko said pouting.
"W-Well...I...like...love—"
But suddenly, the lights in the house went out and the room went dark. A crash from the windows around them was heard, and broken glass fell to the floor. Chrome quickly created her trident and stood her ground. She eyed the room around her that was filled with darkness, as Kyoko began to panic. She could feel it all around her...
Dying will flames...
Evil intent...
