Hey guys and girls. Another update is here for those who are actually following the story. I was kind of disappointed to find out that less people are reading each chapter. Chapter 1 attracted lots of attention but eventually that number decreased. Also nobody is reviewing, so I wonder if I should even continue to write.

Anyway my decision on whether or not I should keep reading will depend on how many readers there are this chapter and if I get reviews or not. Why bother if only a few people are actually reading?

Well that's enough of my rant. I do not own KHR. Story start

Koichi looked at his boss and walked away. He rounded the corner and pulled out a locket from around his neck and opened it. Inside was a picture of him when he was little standing next to his older brother, Katsu.

"Don't you worry, Boss. I will avenge him sooner than you think"

"Come on Chrome! We gotta get to the end of this path!" Ryohei said excitedly

"Umm, I'm not sure if we should be going this fast" Chrome said softly

"Why not! I always do everything I can to the EXTREME!"

"But we could be walking right into a trap"

The wall on their left exploded sending bricks flying into the two of them. Chrome jumped in the way of the bricks and spun her trident around. The bricks disappeared as they came in contact with the trident. They were only illusions.

"Whoa what was that?" Ryohei asked

"They were illusions. Illusion created by her" Chrome said pointing at the wall. The wall seemed fine. Everything was intact and nothing about it seemed strange.

"I don't see anything Chrome" Ryohei said squinting at the wall

Chrome slammed her trident on the ground. The impact sent mist flames all throughout the hallway. The illusion around them had disappeared. They weren't in a hallway. They were in a circular room. In the air above them floated Kasumi.

"Who's the girl?" Ryohei asked

"I'm Kasumi Ito. The mist guardian of the Shinda family" she said

"WHAAAT!" Ryohei shouted "I can't fight a girl!"

"Then this should be easy" Kasumi said. She opened the box hanging from her waist. The box released a surge of mist flames into the room. The entire room went dark. Neither Chrome nor Ryohei could see anything in front of them.

"How do you like my Infinite Darkness?" Kasumi asked

"I can't see a thing!" Ryohei said loudly

Suddenly there was a sharp pain in Ryohei's right leg. He kneeled over and grabbed his leg. A needle had gone right into his leg. He winced in pain.

"Hahaha soon your pain will be over Vongola" Kasumi said with a laugh "These senbon will go through all your vital muscles rendering them useless. Soon you won't be able to move let alone feel your muscles, and then your heart will slowly start to shut down."

She was right. Ryohei couldn't feel his leg any longer; it had gone numb. He gritted his teeth angrily. He wanted to fight back, but his opponent was a girl. Ryohei was an honorable man and would never even lay a finger upon the Shinda Mist girl. Another one of the needles hit Ryohei in the arm. Again he felt the sharp pain and then his arm went numb.

"Sasagawa-san?" Chrome called out

"Chrome you have to beat this girl to the…Extreme" Ryohei said

As Ryohei was talking another needle had hit him in the chest. The blood flow throughout his body had been cut off and he fell to the ground with a hard thump. Chrome continued to call his name but to no avail. Ryohei was out. The trident was slammed once again onto to the ground. The darkness from the box swirled around the room and started to disappear. After the darkness had cleared Kasumi was no longer staring at the pineapple haired girl. This time she was facing the Red-eyed man from hell, Rokudo Mukuro.

"Are you the one threatening my dear Chrome?" Mukuro asked

"Who the hell are you?" Kasumi asked

"I asked you first. Are you the one who threatened Chrome?"

"And what if I am?"

"Kufufufu" Mukuro laughed "Then I'm afraid I must kill you"

The romaji in Mukuro's right eye changed to the number 1. Pillars of fire shot out at Kasumi threatening to burn her. She ran head first into one of them dispelling it, and used the flame on her ring to make the others disappear. Mukuro smiled. She was one of the few illusionists that could actually twist his illusions. She wasn't an ordinary girl.

"Kufufufu. You're quite an interesting girl" he said

"Oh am I? Well if you think that was impressive then you better prepare to have that eye bulging out of your head in amazement."

Kasumi lit the flame on her ring once more. She opened her Shinda family Box Weapon and vanished in a spiral of mist flames. When the flames disappeared Kasumi disappeared with them. Mukuro looked around, attempting to find the find before she surprise attacked him. He opened his Vongola box and transformed his mist owl into Daemon Spades Evil Lenses. The put the lens up to his eye revealing the location of Kasumi.

"There's no place to hide girl"

The romanji changed to the number 4 and a small mist flame emanated from it. HE swung at the girl but missed. He was surprised by this. How did the attack go straight through her? He was positive that he had determined her exact location. The girl threw a flurry of senbon at Mukuro which he deflected with his trident.

"What kind of power is that?" he asked her

"That is the power of the Shinda family box weapons. It gives our body the power of the flame itself. No longer do I have a mist flame. I am the mist flame."

Mukuro looked at her with a smile. She glared at him curiously. Why would he smile knowing that he was no longer able to defeat her? He couldn't use physical attacks and any illusion he threw at her would just be dispelled.

"Why the hell are you smiling? You can't defeat me." She said angrily

"You say I cannot but I say I can"

"HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BEAT SOMEONE YOU CANNOT HURT?"

"Like this"

Mukuro spun his staff around in his hand. The romaji switched back to 1 and he began to cast an illusion. He knew that she would dispel the illusion but he also knew that if he kept firing illusion after illusion at her that she would eventually get tired and lose control over her illusions, or possibly weaken the flame thus nullifying the box she opened earlier.

He bombarded the Shinda mist with illusions. She defended herself by dispelling some of the illusions and turning others into her own. Mukuro continued to bombard her with illusions, even turning the illusions she sent back at him into his own once again. She couldn't take it anymore. The illusions were getting stronger and stronger each time. No, the illusions weren't getting stronger, she was getting weaker. Eventually she began to lose her mind. The illusions seemed to be real. She felt the heat from the fire pillar that brushed past her face. She felt herself lose her breath as she was slowly submerged in water. Every illusion seemed more real than the next.

"So, do you finally see the power of Rokudo Mukuro?"

She grunted in response

"Kufufufu"

Kasumi stopped floating above him and fell to the ground. She couldn't take it anymore. She had finally cracked. It felt as though she was in an ever lasting nightmare. Mukuro continued to toy with the girl as he sent more and more illusions, one after another. Her Shinda box powers began to fade.

"You stupid Vongola! How could you do this to me?"

"Don't categorize me with the mafia. I have no ties with them. I am only here right now because you threatened Chrome"

"You mean the little purple haired brat? If you hadn't showed up I would've taken my time and killed her slowly. Just to see the pain and torment on the little girl's face"

This sent Mukuro over the edge. He decided to use his final illusion, the illusion that he had perfected during the 10 days before the attack.

"Mist of Remorse, envelop her."

The purple mist consumed her body. The illusion made her relive then painful things that had happened throughout her life. From little pain such as heartbreak to full pain such as fights and abuse. Mukuro was screwing up an already screwed up girl, until finally he took his trident and ended her life.

"Kufufufu. You were a very interesting girl." He used his mist one more time, before finally disappearing leaving Chrome in his place. She was tired from all he illusions Mukuro cast while controlling her body. She looked around for the girl that attacked her and Ryohei earlier but she was no where to be found. Nothing was left visible to Chrome's eyes due to Mukuro's powerful illusions. He didn't want her to see the cruelties of the mafia world. He didn't want her to cry after seeing the bloody mess he had left his opponent in.

Chrome turned her attention to Ryohei. He was still laying on the ground. She removed the needles from his body and checked for a pulse. He was still breathing. She sighed with relief, and then she fell asleep.

"And so the mist flame disappears from my rune" Hajime said shaking his head "I had high hopes for Kasumi too"

"Don't worry boss" Shinra said "I will make sure that the Snow guardian never sees the light of day again. The last light he will ever see will be the Sun flame on my ring."

Shinra then walked away. Hajime watched as his Sun guardian walked away and smiled. "Too bad Shinra, I have already seen your future from the day I took you into my family. I knew that one day your time in the mafia would run short. I guess your time is up now"

I think that chapter was pretty bad which will probably lead to even fewer readers and absolutely no reviews. I'll give my readers a chance however. I will write one more chapter after this, the battle between Shinra and Gelaro. If that chapter gets no reviews and very few readers then I will not continue the story. Why bother posting if not many appreciate it?
