CHAPTER 10 is here and please don't forget to review :DDDD your reviews fuel up my inspiration guage :DDDDDDDDDD

ENJOY!

What happened next was a game of cat and mouse. Tsuki was the mouse while Hibari was the cat. Indeed the cat was fast but so was the mouse. Hibari came to her house only to find out that it was empty. From then on whenever he would spot her he would become the stubborn cat while Tsuki ran away from him. Chrome would watch their situation with a blank expression on her face. Her sister will not go down without a fight but she was more responsible than Hibari.

Tsuki was running away for the nth time from Hibari. It had already been a month and yet the stubborn cat never stopped chasing her. She sighed and continued running until she saw Ietsuna together with his tutor and friends.

"Hey Lady Boss!"the carefree guardian greeted. She waved back and stopped in front of Ietsuna.

"Isn't Hibari-san going to stop chasing you around?" Ietsuna asked. "I'm afraid not, Hibari-san is not the type to let go of a grudge easily. It is my fault but I was prepared for the consequences." She turned to Reborn "Hello baby, if you ever encounter Hibari-san along the way please don't tell me you talked to me unless you wish to be beaten to death. Well off to school you go!" Then she sprinted to school.

Reborn smirked "I'm glad that Lady Boss' is opening up to all of us." Ietsuna commented while he walked. "Yeah I thought that Yoruno-san was someone like Hibari." Gokudera added.

"Ha ha, that's what I thought too. But she's less violent and friendly than Hibari." Yamamoto commented. "Setting that aside what are you planning to do with her baka-Ietsuna?" Reborn talked to Ietsuna.

"What do you mean 'do with her' Reborn? Isn't she also my Mist guardian?" Ietsuna earned a smack from his tutor "Don't be stupid baka-Ietsuna, Mukuro is already your mist guardian. Yoruno is already involved in this ever since she declared she was the sister of Chrome Dokuro and a valid mist holder. She's strong and fit; she can be a great bodyguard for you."

"What! But-"once again he earned another smack from Reborn. "Then it's settled, from now on she will be your personal bodyguard."Reborn jumped down from Ietsuna and went ahead to catch up with Tsuki. "W-wait R-Reborn don't go deciding everything for me!"

Tsuki reached the school gates before the prefect did. She went to the back door and met up with Chrome. "I'm sorry Chrome for troubling you." She was panting while Chrome handed her a towel and bottle of water.

"No if it's you nee-san then it's okay. Besides, Cloud-san is still on the chase. Nee-san, you must go now." Chrome waved to her sister while she dashed upstairs.

Tsuki reached the classroom front door and saw Reborn. "Baby what are you doing here?"

"I'm just here to tell you that starting today you're going to be dame-Ietsuna's personal bodyguard." Now I didn't expect that…

"So basically you want me to look after Sawada-san in your place?" She looked at Reborn with a confused expression "Yeah, from now on you're going to escort him to and back at school."

"…Well I can do that but is there any reason why I must?" It's not like she didn't know. She just wanted to confirm.

"If you'll do it I'll keep your secret about how you have a room filled with cute plush dolls, figurines, and pony posters safe with me." She gasped. Sure he's an Arcobaleno and not to mention the greatest hit man alive out there but how was he able to learn all of that? She instantly nodded and heard footsteps from behind.

Reborn smirked Tsuki paled and began sweating bullets. "It seems that you two are now on equal footing. See you then." Reborn left and Tsuki's was twitching. She turned around and saw the prefect with a predatory smirk and murderous eyes. "N-Neh Hibari-san… you didn't heard all of that didn't you?"

"I've been to your room omnivore but I never saw that other room." Tsuki had three rooms at her house. One was her adorable bedroom which was all colored pink; the other one was the room which Chrome was staying in. It had cute stuffed toys and pony figurines but not as much as the last room has. When she first entered the room she squealed in delight. The 'room' turned out to be a collector's item room which had adorable stuffed toys, cute anime figurines, pony posters, anime magazines, anime DVD's, CD's and all the cute girly stuff you could imagine.

"U-Ugh w-well…that… l-let's make a deal then…" she was desperate. Great thanks to that Arcobaleno Hibari-san knows my secret hobby and secret room. No one else should know it! "Ho? What sort of deal omnivore?"

"U-um… I clean your image and keep that entire 'incident' a secret while you keep my 'secret hobby and room' a secret too." He was still smirking moving forward slowly. "And in exchange omnivore?"

"I…I'll do whatever you want." She muttered "What was that omnivore? I couldn't quite hear you." She glared at him "I-I said… I-I'll d-do w-whatever you want!" she was blushing. Tsuki was being Tsundere at the moment which Hibari found… amusing

"Wao, then come with me to the reception room." Tsuki sweat-dropped My pride… my precious pride… all gone because of that stupid baby! She was internally crying and begrudgingly went to the reception room.

RECEPTION ROOM

Hibari slammed the door open while Tsuki closed it gently. The other Disciplinary prefect waited nervously for the outcome of her 'punishment'… Be safe Yoruno-san… Kusakabe thought…

Hibari grabbed her left hand's wrist and threw her on the couch. Then he sat on her stomach Seriously, this getting way too old… She thought. He lifted his right hand and cupped her cheek. She looked at him blankly as he loosened her tie and removed her vest in one swift go. He unbuttoned her shirt and removed it. Revealing a black bra…

Hibari smirked and licked his lips "You're flat omnivore…" Tsuki blushed furiously and looked away. He lifted her head and then slowly he licked the side of her neck and she blushed and brought her hands behind his shirt then clenched it when she felt a sharp pain pierce through her skin. She bit her lower lip hard enough that it bled just to prevent herself from screaming in pain.

Hibari sank his teeth on her skin and there was blood gushing out of it. The scene was something like a vampire biting his prey. When he finished he removed his 'fangs' from her skin then placed his forehead on hers. She stopped biting her lip but the bleeding did not stop.

He licked the blood off from his lips then moved forward to lick hers in one quick go. Then he smirked and kissed her. Tsuki looked shock and the shock of what was happening caused Hibari to gain entrance in her mouth and taste her. When he pulled away she still looked shock "Hibari-san…why?" Strawberries and Vanilla he thought.

"Because you said you'd do anything…" Yeah and I'm beginning to regret that. As much as I want to strangle you with my chains I can't as the baby will notice it… He was about to continue ravaging the poor girl when mist surrounded them.

"Kufufu having fun skylark, perhaps now that you have finished her punishment I'll now take her away." A familiar figure appeared just beside the two of them. Hibari brought out his tonfas and leaped off the sofa to attack the illusionist. Mukuro vanished and reappeared in front of Tsuki; his eyes were covered by his bangs and removed his coat and placed it around Tsuki. He brought her closer to his body and they both disappeared.

Hibari scowled and thought The next time I see that pineapple I'll make sure I'll bite that herbivore to death for distracting the omnivore's 'punishment'.

The two reappeared in Tsuki's bedroom on her bed then before she could speak he slapped her. She held her cheek slightly wincing at the pain. "Mukuro… when-"he held her shoulders and looked at her with an angry expression "I told my dear Chrome to follow you around because I felt something was bound to go wrong. When I entered that skylark's room this is what I see?" It was rare for Mukuro to snap and leave out his signature laugh from his sentences. The fresh wound on Tsuki's neck was bleeding but she didn't payed attention to it…

He let out a sigh then let go of her then went to the bathroom to get the first aid kit. The sky began to dim little by little… and soon it would rain. He came out with the kit then began treating her wound. She winced in pain and everything else was so quiet. The wind became harsh… a storm was brewing that's for sure.

The wound stopped bleeding and all that's left was to patch it up. There weren't any patches so the only option left was the gauze… which meant she had to remove her ehem lingerie and Mukuro had to ehem ehem you get the idea… so that's what happened.

Tsuki blushed lightly and he turned around to give her some… privacy. When she removed her bra Mukuro turned around and blushed slightly… Tsuki wasn't wearing any sort of top that would protect her chest area and her usual ponytailed hair was down and she gathered it in front of her right shoulder and her back was the one facing Mukuro (Ohoho~ you guys must've thought ehem such ehem naughty things :33)

He started to wrap the gauze around her wound and down below her chest. When he finished he placed the kit away then she placed the jacket back on and turned to face him. There was silence at first but Mukuro was the first one to break it. "Kufufu Little bunny why did you allow such a man to touch you? And mark you?"

Tsuki looked down trying to avoid his gaze "I…it was part of the deal. He would keep my secret hobby a secret while I… clear his image and also to keep that 'incident' a secret."

"Kufufu, what sort of 'incident' is that?" Tsuki still avoided his gaze but answered his question "…Something I don't want to talk about…" There was silence once more.

"…Kufufu… little bunny I want you to answer my question honestly…" It was starting to rain. At first it was a drizzle then it became harder which turned into rain. "What question?"

"… Do you like the skylark?" there was thunder and lightning "… I do." She looked at him with a blank expression… "…Don't you feel…anything when you're around me?" Mukuro looked at her seriously "…I feel…confused and nervous that… I can't fathom what I want to say or think about towards you…"

There was one thought inside Mukuro's head and that was… fear His eyes were once more covered by his bangs and kneeled down in front of her. He cupped her cheek and said "Kufufu I thought we could be together not just as friends but something more. But… now that you have someone you like I just can't bring myself to force you to like me."

"Mukuro…why?" she was feeling some sort of pain in her chest. Was it a pang of guilt? Or was it pain of hearing him with such a hurt tone…

"Why you ask? Kufufu it's simply little bunny…" the he proceeded to hug her and slowly hugged him back. The he whispered something in her ear and suddenly felt her eyes go wide. He pulled back and gave her a sad smile. "Kufufu… I wish nothing more but for your happiness little bunny." She looked at him with a shocked expression and felt her left eye watering.

"M-Mukuro…please stay…" she muttered and hid her eyes with her bangs. The storm was getting stronger and stronger every minute. She stood up and reached out to him and their hands intertwined

"Kufufu… farewell little bunny perhaps this will be the last time I'm going to see you…" He placed his forehead on hers then gave her one last sad smile then vanished and let go of her hands. He was replaced by Chrome and both of them were kneeling on the ground.

Mukuro left her with her original eye patch. She stared at it blankly then felt a tear flow from her left eye down to her cheek. Chrome who saw this immediately hugged her sister; Tsuki, who in turn, hugged her back rather tightly when there was a flash of lightning and a deafening roar from the thunder. "I'm scared… I was scared of losing him! And now that he's gone I feel so lonely… so stupid for hurting him!"

Chrome patted her back and felt tears form in her left eye "H-He's… not a criminal… I am… I broke his heart apart and now I can't even face him with all the guilt and shame I feel!" she let it all out. She cried to her heart's content and was comforted by her little sister Chrome. She clutched the eye patch closer to her heart and silently prayed that she'd have the courage one day to confront him and finally clear things out between them.

Tsuki fell asleep in her sister's loving embrace and so did Chrome. From that day on... Tsuki had developed a fear of thunder and lightning or also known as… "Astraphobia"
