Kyoya was losing hope. He doesn't know how and where to find Chrome. He's tired and he still has hundreds of doors more to check. He already searched everywhere! He checked all the rooms, all the hallways, and even the dark corners of the mansion, and still no sign of Chrome.

"Nagi... Where are you?"

If only he has more time...

But sadly he has less than an hour left before the allotted time Reborn gave him.

And Kyoya knew. If he has not found Chrome by then, he'd lose everything he ever cared for.


~Meanwhile with Chrome~

"It's Kyoya's voice again..." Chrome murmured while looking up the set of sketches of gowns for her wedding.

Bianchi looked up from her set and asked. "Is something wrong?"

Chrome shook her head. "It's nothing. I just thought I heard Kyoya's voice..."

Bianchi raised an eyebrow at the purple-head before glancing at the clock on the wall across the shop.

"His time is almost up." Bianchi murmured while frowning.

"Did you say something Bianchi-san?" Chrome asked, her eyebrows quirked up in question.

"A-ah I just said t-that Kyoko and Haru will be here with the cloths."

"Yeah, now that you mention it," Chrome said while tilting her head to the side. "They sure do take time on choosing the cloth."

Bianchi smiled nervously, but it did go unnoticed by the younger female. "Yeah, you know us women."

Chrome chuckled, and Bianchi soon joined in the laughter.

"I'm sure they'll be here soon." Chrome said while looking back at the line of sketches. She still can't find any gown that will fit to her liking.

As if on cue, Kyoko and Haru came back from the other side of the room with cloths hanging in their hands.

"Look at this, Chrome-chan!" Haru said while showing Chrome the cloths she's holding.

"We found the best cloth in the shop." Kyoko added, a smile in her face.

Chrome smiled back and took the cloth. "It sure is pretty," She complimented.

The ladies continued their search for the right gown for Chrome. They found the cloth, all left is for the design and soon they could set a date for the measurements. Chrome was too occupied with the wedding gowns that hearing Kyoya's voice was soon shoved at the back of her mind – long forgotten.

~Back in the Cavallone Mansion~

After a long pursue, Kyoya finally gave up and decided to sit down for a while. He was too tired to walk any more. His breathing was jagged, his face was pale and he is drenched. He just can't do this anymore.

He just can't figure out why the baby wants him to play this silly game of his.

Kyoya wished he did believe the hit-man when he said this would not be easy.

'Open your heart.' Kyoya remembered the words if the Sun Arcobaleno. What does he mean by that? Kyoya already opened his heart to Chrome for eleven years and now the baby wants him to do something stupid. Well, this is something stupid for Kyoya.

'Open your heart before you hurt each other.'

"Hurt each other, huh?" Kyoya repeated while laughing sarcastically but after a while he frowned and looked up.

"I don't get any of this." He said while punching the floor.

Kyoya let out a shaky breath before loosening his hand and closing his eyes. This is not the time to get mad, this is the time to think.

"Nagi... I just need to find you right... But are you even here?" He asked in thin air.

"Kyoya...?" A voice said from nowhere. Kyoya immediately opened his eyes and stood up, desperately looking for any signs of Chrome.

"Nagi?" He asked again but no one answered him.

Kyoya frowned and huffed. He run his hand to his hair before gritting his teeth.

"I'm going insane." He said to himself before he looked down to his watch.

"I don't have much time" True, he only has 15 minutes left before 12 o'clock and he still didn't find any sight of the purple-haired female.

"Nagi... Show yourself I don't have much time." Kyoya said, his voice quivering. "Please,"

"I don't have much time..."He repeated while closing his eyes.

"I... I don't want to lose you."


~Back at the Tailor Shop~

After a long search with the hundreds of sketches they were given, Chrome has finally chose one design that caught her attention. It was really exquisite. It was a gown she'd wear. Bianchi and the rest really did help her a lot. Not to mention, the gowns that they picked really looked great. Now, Chrome doesn't have a problem with what they would wear.

Bianchi talked to her friend and asked for a date where they could get their measurements. Bianchi gave the sketches they chose back to the designer and told him they'd be back next week. The designer has no problem with the given time since making the dress won't take that long. Bianchi thanked the man and soon the rest of them were ready to go.

Chrome was about to follow Haru, Kyoko and Bianchi out of the shop when suddenly she remembered her purse inside where they were seating a while ago.

"Is there something the matter, Chrome?" Bianchi asked, looking at the girl scanning the whole shop.

"Huh? Oh, I just forgot my purse inside… Go ahead without me I'll just follow behind you guys…"

"You sure?

"Yeah… I'll be there… the same restaurant, right?"

"Yeah... See you later Chrome…"

Chrome nodded her head. "Alright,"

Bianchi, Kyoko and Haru walked out of the streets towards Bianchi's car. Chrome watched the car drive off before going back to the shop. Inside, she found her purple purse sitting on the table beside a full length mirror. She smiled and picked up her purse. It was a gift from Kyoya and she treasures it deeply. Chrome breath a sigh in relief. She didn't lose after all.

"Nagi… I just need to find you right... But are you even here?"

She heard the voice of Kyoya again from nowhere.

"Kyoya…?" She asked hesitantly.

Chrome waited for a response but soon shrugged it off when she didn't hear one. It was weird hearing the voice of you fiancé every time you are apart. Was she having anxiety problems? Chrome sure hoped not.

"I... I don't want to lose you."

He heard Kyoya's voice again. Then Chrome gasped and looked at the mirror. There he saw Kyoya's figure in the middle of a hall full of doors. He looks so...tired. Chrome touched the surface of mirror. She felt the coldness of it and the sadness it emits. It was no illusion. The one inside the mirror was the real Kyoya. Chrome felt herself tear up.

"Kyoya..." She hitched, her hand trembling.

Kyoya looked up when he heard Chrome's voice.

"Nagi..." He breathed.

Chrome doesn't know what was happening. Kyoya appeared on the mirror out of nowhere. Kyoya found himself standing up and walking towards the purple-head in daze. But as soon as he stood in front her, an invisible barrier prevented him from going near her – nearer than he ever wanted.

"Nagi... I finally found you..." Kyoya said as he placed his left hand on where Chrome's right hand was place against the cold, invisible glass. It was irritating to not touch the real Chrome, but Kyoya didn't fret, it was better than not seeing Chrome. At least now, he finally found her.

"Kyoya, where are you? Why are you there? Why were you looking for me?" Chrome bombarded Kyoya with her questions. " Are you alright?"

"It doesn't matter anymore.. All that matters is that I finally found you..." Kyoya said while placing his forehead to Chrome's.

"Of course you found me... You always do..." Chrome said while closing her eyes.

"You found the real me..." She said while smiling to Kyoya.

Kyoya's eyes widened but he quickly regained his composure and smiled a real smile that he rarely shows to anybody. It was no doubt that it made Chrome blush.

"Hey Nagi..."

"Y-yes Kyoya?" Chrome stuttered.

"I love you..." As Kyoya said these words his right hand connected to Chrome's left hand and without wasting another more second, he took her hand and pulled her close to him.

"I love you too..." She replied while blushing hard. Kyoya chuckled and quickly claimed his prize. His most favorite thing in the world – Chrome's kisses.

They finally found each other that is all that matters. They both had passed the test and they don't have any care in the world...

"Very good Hibari, you passed the test." Reborn said while appearing out of nowhere. Reborn's sudden appearance made the two stop kissing and the result of making them both blush.

"Oi Reborn... don't barge on them like that." Dino said while appearing beside Reborn.

"Kufufufu~ I guess, our plan worked." Mukuro said while appearing beside Dino with Tsuna on his right side.

"I g-guess we shouldn't have disturbed them." Tsuna stuttered while backing away towards the door.

"What happened, Tsuna?" Dino asked Tsuna who was slightly trembling.

"I-I'm still severe from what Reborn did to me and I still want to live… So I'll be taking my leave now…" Tsuna stuttered and hurriedly walked or more tumbled out of the room.

"Oi, Tsuna!" Dino shouted after Tsuna but stopped and trembled when he sensed the evil aura once again.

"Dame-Tsuna still needs a lot of training." Reborn said and disappeared to who knows where.

"Eh, Reborn, don't leave me here!" Dino pleaded but soon Reborn and Mukuro was out of sight.

"Hieee!~" Dino shrieked.

When he turned around he saw a Kyoya pissed to death. With his cloud box out and his tonfa equipped in his hands.

"Kamikorosu." Kyoya said while stepping forward but Chrome stopped him.

"It's an illusion, Kyoya." Chrome said and soon Dino disappeared too.

"I swear I'll bite them all to death." Kyoya cursed while putting away his tonfas. Crome just laughed and let goes of Kyoya's sleeve. Kyoya smirked and kisses Chrome full in her lips. Chrome gasped, blood immediately rushed up to his face. Kyoya broke the kiss and smiled.

"Aishiteru." He whispered in her ear. Chrome smiled and whispered back.

"Ti amo."

Kyoya burries his face in the crook of Chrome's neck.

Chrome chuckled and hugs Kyoya's waist.

"Hey, Kyoya..." She says.

"Yes?"

"How do we get out of here?"

"..."
