-Mukuro-
Over the last few days, I taught Chrome how to make illusions and use them in battle. She's a very quick learner, and pays rapt attention to everything I tell her. While I am possessing her body, she can use Six Paths of Reincarnation. That should serve her well in the Mist Ring Battle.
Though this really isn't an emotion that comes naturally to me, I feel extremely worried. How can I send Chrome to fight? She's only thirteen. But she is trying her hardest to learn because she wants to protect me. She's so sweet and kind. With her determination and natural talent, she is already a better illusionist than most.
Still, she's up against the Varia. Even though I'll be there to protect her, I hate the thought of her being in pain. As much as I hate it, I know this is necessary. And if I need to step in…whoever hurt Chrome will suffer dearly. That I know for sure.
"Chrome..." Chikusa approaches her with a bag of chips and a bar of chocolates. "Eat. Your battle will be soon." He disappears in that silent Chikusa way, and Chrome faintly smiles.
"Thank you...Chikusa..." She bites into the chocolate first, of course. She sounds normal, but I can't help but notice how her shoulders are tensed.
After she finishes her food, Chikusa approaches again, this time with Ken.
"Chrome, it's time to go," he says, pushing his glasses higher up.
She trembles. Then she straightens her back and picks up her trident.
"I'm ready to go." My Chrome is so brave and selfless...
Ken and Chikusa enter the school gymnasium first.
"T-then, could the Guardian of Mist be..." Gokudera Hayato, the Guardian of Storm splutters out when he sees them.
"Yeah, if they're bringing him...Could it be?" Yamamoto Takeshi, the Guardian of Rain joins in. These people… I am Sawada's guardian of Mist, even though it's Chrome arriving here tonight. His guardian's suspicions are correct.
"I can't believe it. Is the Guardian of Mist...R-Rokudo Mukuro?!" I cause such dissent among Sawada and his followers. However…I feel that I owe the boy something. That's the real reason I agreed, not just that he is my target. However…I don't want Chrome to be discouraged by their stupidity and rudeness. I don't want her to be affected by Sawada and his stupid Guardians during her fight.
As Chrome approaches, I can see her visibly straighten her shoulders and her violet eye narrows slightly in determination.
I won't fail you, Mukuro-sama.
My sweet Chrome...she wants to protect me so much, when really I'm the one that should be protecting her. And I will. Always.
"Negative." She's so calm in the face of all this…idiocy. "My name is Chrome."
She throws back her jacket. Her trident glistens in the moonlight and she looks, as well as sounds both beautiful and mysterious.
"Chrome Dokuro."
"Not Rokudo Mukuro?!" Sawada is so stupid. Does she look like me?
Though, he is technically correct. But that doesn't give him the right to distract Chrome from her battle. She laughs; a beautiful, cold laugh that she must have picked up from me. It definitely isn't her real laugh but it is the one she should be showing those stupid Vongola. I'm so proud of her.
She walks forward slowly, her eyes set ahead.
"Chrome...Dokuro?" The Vongola's dirty blond-haired companion asks. What an idiot. Didn't she just say that?
"Who is this girl with the extremely weird name?" The Vongola's muscle-brained Sun Guardian asks. I bristle with fury. How dare someone insult my Chrome?
"One of your friends, Tsuna?"
"U-um...the Guardian of Mist, this girl, isn't Rokudo Mukuro, right?"
Ken and Chikusa both look in other directions but Chrome stares straight ahead, gripping her trident. If I were her I'd be itching to use it on these morons but I know those aren't her thoughts.
"Heh." Ken scoffs, looking away purposefully from the Vongola. Chikusa does the same, but instead of laughing he pushes his glasses up.
"Don't be fooled, Juudaime!" Gokudera snaps, placing himself protectively in front of Sawada. What an idiot. He's supposed to be the smart one. Can't he see that even if Chrome is me, which she is, there is nobody else able to fight as the Guardian of Mist? And if I harbored ill intentions towards Sawada…then why would I have Chrome fight?
"That's Mukuro! Mukuro is possessing her!" Chrome looks him right in the eye, her serious expression unfailing. "He doesn't hesitate in accomplishing his goals! That's the kind of man he is!"
While I'm flattered they think of me in such a way, I'm furious to the thought of them insulting Chrome.
"You don't believe me?" She asks, hurt. My sweet, beloved Chrome. I would kill them all in a heartbeat for you.
"Of course not! Juudaime! Look at that weapon!" He gestures wildly toward Chrome's trident. "And she's hiding that eye with a patch! She's undoubtedly-"
"Not Rokudo Mukuro." Sawada says.
Gokudera makes some wild noise of indignation. "R-really?!"
"Well, it just seems that way!"
"You defended me?" Chrome's pure innocence shines through. "Thank you...Boss."
She kisses Sawada on the cheek. It's a beautiful motion, but one that should definitely not be wasted on someone as stupid as Vongola Decimo. I'm filled with fury and rage.
My Chrome...what was that for?
Mukuro-sama...I believe a kiss on the cheek can help people feel better...don't...Don't you think so?
I...I suppose so, my sweet Chrome.
Gokudera and Ken make similar sounds of shock. Chrome is too innocent to realize what…it might mean to people like them. It's just a kind gesture for her. The Vongola's short dirty blond-haired companion and Yamamoto Takeshi just look astonished while Sasagawa Ryohei looks furious.
But Sawada's reaction is to jump into the air, with his face bright red and scream. Chrome is mine alone, and he'd better realize that.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Gokudera yells. Yamamoto restrains him with a "Now, now."
Sawada just looks insane. His face is still bright red and he's touching the spot where Chrome kissed him.
Chrome is losing her focus with all these idiots running around. We need the battle to start soon.
"A greeting," she says, obviously not being able to understand what all these idiots are freaking out about.
"Don't mess with me!"
"Calm down."
"Get away from the Juudaime!"
"Now, now."
What complete idiots. I feel bad that my precious Chrome has to be in their company.
"So that's it." The Varia's Guardian of Storm, Belphegor says. Why won't they start the battle? My Chrome will get distracted with all these people...who is her opponent?
"I thought some old mystic would appear, but it was a woman."
"H-How bewitching."
"Phantasma is becoming excited." The Arcobaleno in black must be her opponent. "Your Guardian is a special human after all." She is special...
"And what will you do?" Sasagawa asks. "Will you let her join us?"
If he doesn't, I'll kill them all.
"Of course not!" Yells Gokudera. He'll be the first to die. "This strange woman..."
"I can't let that slide!" Good job, Ken. He lifts up one of his teeth and Chikusa raises a yo-yo.
"Come at me if you're gonna!" Definitely the first to die.
"Ken, Chikusa, calm down." Chrome... "It's not something for you to decide. Boss, am I unfit to be your Guardian of Mist? I want to fight as your Guardian. But if you say no, I'll obey."
"That's a little sudden… I-it's an important matter." Of course it's important, you idiot. Just be lucky someone as talented and beautiful as Chrome is willing to fight for you.
The Arcobaleno with the fedora, Tsuna's home tutor, Reborn says, "But Chrome is the only one who can fight as your Guardian of Mist."
"Reborn-san, you too?!" The Arcobaleno definitely isn't stupid.
"All right then, it's up to you." Sawada says, and I smirk. He'd better have let her fight.
"Are you sure, Juudaime?!" I really thought he was supposed to be the smart one...
"I can't really put it into words, but I feel like it has to be her."
Chrome sighs with relief. She sets her shoulders forward in determination again.
"Thank you, bossu."
