THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE NINE PEOPLE WHO REVIEWED! I'M SO TOUCHED THAT THIS RARE PAIRING EVEN HAS REVIEWS!

I'm sorry if it's been almost a month since I updated. I've been having writer's block lately and there are so many activities at school.
Anyways, I won't promise a good chapter because of those reasons.

KHR! and Kuroshitsuji does not belong to me.

Chapter 4 – Pineapple, Demon and Family

Chrome-chan~ where are you, my Chrome? Please answer me. Please. I beg of you, please come back home. The same dream Rose had on her first night at the Phantomhive Manor played in her head. The same man in the water prison spoke soft words hardly audible; yet clear enough for the human mind to understand. Chrome? She thought, and with a bang, her memories returned.

Rose awoke to familiar surrounding. Her head was aching like hell and her mind was blurry. She opened her eyes slowly, for she felt it was rather warmer than usual, especially her right one. Her right hand move instinctively, caressing a bump on her head. How did that get there? She thought. Her room was dark, only her bedside table lamp was the source of light. The grandfather clock in her room chimed 9 times. Then she noticed a handful of wires attached to her body. She tired to remove them, but her body was sore all over. Was she sleeping for a very long time now?

The door to her room gently opened and Meirin, the maid, shot a glance at her and with one look, she ran out the corridor, calling the Earl and everyone else. Minutes later, all the members of the household were gathered in her room, including Madam Red. Sebastian explained that Elizabeth was deeply sorry and returned home hours ago.

"Rose dear. Are you alright?" Asked Madam Red. "You fell unconscious when you hit your head."

"Chrome."

"What?" Spoke Ciel, who was sitting beside Rose on her bed.

"My name is Chrome Dokuro. My memories are back now." Chrome's sweet, soft voice echoed in the room. A genuine smile was planted on her face. All of them were happy she regained and memories. All of them, except for one.

"Seriously?!" Bickered Ciel, who jumped in shock at the news. Half of his head was eager to send her home, and half of it was miserable for the same reason.

The purplenette nodded. "I'm part of the Vongola family in Italy but my home is in Japan. My friends are waiting for me there. Mukuro-sama …"

"Mukuro-sama…?" Asked Sebastian.

"Hn." The girl nodded. "Mukuro-sama is my savior. He's very important to me. But, …but he oddly resembles you, Mr. Sebastian." She giggled. It was the first time they saw their 'guest' be this happy since her stay. The Phantomhives felt like they've done their duty well.

"So, you live in Japan? Would you want us to send you there immediately?" Asked Madam Red.

Chrome took a while to answer.

Return home? To where? Mukuro-sama kicked me out of Kokuyou Land. He surely won't forgive me after leaving him for so long. I would be just a bother to Bossu.

"No, not yet. I like it here. Can't I stay for a few more days?" She pleaded.

"Ciel?" All eyes turned to the young master. Half-heartedly, he said 'yes' and left the room. It was getting late. Sebastian followed him.

"That settles it. Do you want anything to eat, darling?" Madam Red offered, glancing at Meirin.

"No thanks. My head feels a little dizzy …"

"That's because you're hungry! Meirin, please go get a plate of tonight's dinner at the kitchen." The redhead maid clumsily bowed and ran for the kitchen. Finnian and Bard left as well, understanding their higher-ups needs privacy. Sebastian left as well.

:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:

"TSUNA!" Reborn jumped on the brunet's head. He was gone for almost a year due to a mission given by the Ninth. "What's this I heard about Chrome gone missing?" he inquired but Tsuna didn't answer. Gokudera and Yamamoto, who were walking with Tsuna to school, also didn't have the courage to tell Reborn.

"Well? Isn't it your job to look after you famiglia?" Annoyed when no one spoke a word, he bounced off Tsuna's head and headed home.

When the reached Nami-chuu, they were stunned at the gothic horse carriage parked at the school's gate. They saw the Discipline Committee Head, Hibari Kyoya, looking for the possible owner of the ominous carriage.

When the young Mafiosos entered the school ground, they were met by crowding students who were busy adoring the carriage.

"Ano, Minami-san, what's happening?" Asked Yamamoto, talking to a girl from their class. Her round, lavender glasses shimmered under the morning sun.

"This odd horse carriage suddenly parked itself in front of the school. The passengers haven't come out yet." She answered and with another look of interest at the carriage, turned around and headed straight for the school building.

"What the-?!" Gokudera shrieked.

"What is it,Gokudera-kun?" Asked Tsuna, looking the direction where Gokudera eyes were focused on. He, too, was thunderstruck.

"Eeeeeeeh~?! M-mukuro-san?!" He screeched, glaring at the coachman who lifted his hat revealing his raven-black hair and crimson red eyes. Oddly, Tsuna was looking for his pineapple hair.

"A~re? Mukuro?!" Yamamoto gazed as well. "Why is his hair black? Oh? Does that mean that this carriage is an illusion?" Apparently, no one answered him as the Mukuro-look-alike opened the door of the carriage. Out came a boy with midnight blue hair wearing baby blue and black clothes from the Victorian era. He was wearing an eye-patch. He was followed by a lady in lavender dress with a pale yellow blazer top. Her silky, long purple hair was accessorized by a yellow headband. She, too, was wearing a black eye-patch.

"Chr-Chrome!" Yelled the three boys. The students of Nami-chuu stared at them. They were wondering how on earth did their Chrome turn out to be so beautiful.

"B-bossu!" From Ciel's side, Chrome ran to Tsuna and the gang, huffing with a big smile on her face. "Tadaima." She said sweetly.

"Chrome! What on earth happened?!" Inquired the confused Tsuna as his gaze move up and down. Chrome was pretty. So very pretty. Chrome seemed to have change.

"I…I got lost on my way to France…" She replied, twiddling her fingers in embarrassment.

"She lost her memories when we found her. I took her under my wing until she recovered them." Answered Ciel in his most dignified voice. Though he is in another country, he was still an Earl.

"Eeeh? I-is that so? Thank you mister…"

"Earl Ciel Phantomhive of England."

"Herbivores. Stop crowding, or I'll bite you to death." Said a certain skylark. Hibird popped out from under his hair.

"Hi-hibari-san!" Shrieked Tsuna. He was trembling along with Gokudera and Yamamoto. Hibari diverted his eyes from Tsuna's gang to the man clad in black.

"Rokudo Mukuro. What bravery you show for turning up at my territory." He sneered at the black butler.

"Pardon me, sir, but I'm afraid you have mistaken me with someone else." Sebastian smiled despite the murderous aura the Disciplinary Head emitted. "I am Sebastian Michaelis, the loyal butler of the young Earl Ciel Phantomhive."

"Earl Phantomhive?" Hibari then looked at the blue-haired brat. "This kid? An Earl?" He snorted. Ciel glared at him and he pouted, about to speak something. "Hn~ Aren't you that Dokuro person?" He now stared at Chrome, whom he didn't recognize without her pineapple hairstyle. Chrome nodded.

A misty shadow lingered a feet away from Chrome. Hibari readied himself, armed his hands with his tonfas. Sebastian held Ciel back for safety. Then, the Kokuyo Gang appeared, along with their new member, Fran.

"Where's Chrome, Kakipi? Seen her yet?" Asked Ken the moment he materialized.

"Don't ask me. You have your nose, use them." Chikusa replied lazily. Ken 'humph'. Fran was being held by M.M.

"Honestly, how dare that Chrome-bitch made Mukuro-sama worry like that!" She cursed.

"If she's a bitch, then why does Mukuro-shisho care so much about her?" Asked a young Fran.

"Shu-shut up!"

"Rokudo Mukuro." Again, the skylark grinned, since his real opponent is here.

"Hibari Kyoya." The leader of the troupe grinned as well. "I'm not here to fight you, Kyoya. I'm here to retrieve my precious Chrome." He smiled as he searched for the pineapple-head, but no pineapple-head was to be seen. "Oya-oya, where is she?"

When Chrome noticed the misty shadows earlier, she quietly ran to the carriage. She grabbed her belongings and held it closely to her chest. I can do this, I can do this… she muttered to herself.

"I'm here, Mukuro." Slowly, she descended the carriage, Sebastian holding her hand.

The Kokuyo people had the same expressions as Tsuna and others earlier.

"Ch-Chrome?!" M.M., Ken and Chikusa chorused. Fran gawked. Mukuro skip to hug her. But Chrome was different. She has changed. (According to Tsuna's intuition earlier)

Chrome threw her belongings on the ground nearest Mukuro the moment he started skipping with open arms. She removed her eye-patch and threw it on the ground as well. Everybody froze, even Ciel. Nobody expected Chrome to be this … savage.

"Chrome…? What are—" Mukuro stared at her, dumbfound at what she did. Her bag lay open on his feet, along with her Kokuyo uniform, her trident, and the pins she'd use to tie her hair.

"No more, Rokudo Mukuro. I want to do no more with you. You kicked me out. Now you want me back? No more of your deceiving acts! I have been so loyal to you yet you replaced me with that kid Fran! Your actions hurt more than when my parents abandoned me. I just… I just want… a family I can go home to…" Chrome's knee's shook, and then, she fell to the ground, crying, hands covering her eyes.

Ciel was enraged. Yes, he was jealous of this Mukuro person for having to be with Chrome, but of what he'd heard, he clearly does not deserve her anymore. How could he make her cry like that?!

"It's not polite to make a lady cry." Both Hibari and Sebastian said, both pair eyes were flashing.

Mukuro stood still, digesting what's happened. A few seconds past and no one spoke a word. Until…

"I see. Is that how you feel, Chrome-chan? I…I'm sorry." He said sulkily.

"Mu-mukuro-san…" Tsuna muttered.

"Take good care of Chrome, Sawada."

"No." Chrome said.

"What?"

"I'm not staying with Bossu. I'm going back to England." Chrome declared, wiping away her tears and standing back up again. Her face has never been this serious before.

"Ro- I mean, Chrome, are you sure?" Ciel asked in bewilderment. He never thought of Chrome saying those things. He never thought she'd want to stay with him.

"Yes, I'm sure. I'm much happier when I'm with Ciel-byon!" she smiled as she turned to look at Ciel, who blushed in the process.

"Eeeh?!" Tsuna shrieked again. "B-but, Chrome! What about being my guardian?"

"…Mukuro would be a good, candidate, I presume." Gokudera said.

"Hn~? I'll think about it." Mukuro said, still in a sorry state and vanished off with the rest of the gang.

"Chrome…" Tsuna said, staring at Chrome.

"Don't worry Boss. I'm still part of your famiglia. It's been really good meeting you guys." She said and kissed Tsuna like she did the first time she had met him. She kissed Gokudera and Yamamoto too. The Cloud Guardian stood quiet.

"Hmm... Herbivores… The bell will ring soon, don't be late." He left the group.

"I guess this is 'good-bye' for now. Thank you so much Bossu."

And so, Ciel and Chrome boarded the carriage again. The bell rang just at the carriage was out of sight.

On top of the carriage, Sebastian laughed weakly.

"Humans. They are such emotionally weak creatures."

END.

I'm so sorry guys! I know many of the parts here are rushed and some are vague. I'm really sorry!
Now I'm confused! I don't which guy should Chrome end up with!

Heeeelp me! TT^TT

I'm such a bad author, no, the worst author.

(still haven't thought of a title/plot for Chapter 5)
