"A failed mission?" Gokudera raised a brow at Tsuna, "But Hibari was assigned that mission, he never fails.."
Yamamoto chuckled, earning him a glare from Gokudera "Chrome gave us the report, it came back undone."
"She looked upset," Tsuna frowned, pushing back his plate, "Something must have went wrong..."
"Only Chrome gave the report?" Gokudera asked, pushing up his glasses.
"Yea, Hibari didn't come with her." Tsuna answered,
If he remembered correctly, Chrome wouldn't look at him and when she finally did, she forced a smile.
"What's wrong, Juudaime?" Gokudera asked concernedly,
"It's nothing."

"Chrome-chan!" Kyoko and Haru singed as they walked into her room, a box in Kyoko's hand.
They covered their mouths when they saw her sleeping, covers over her head.
"I'll leave it there," Kyoko tipped toed to the night stand by her bed, placing Hibari-san's gift there. "She'll see it."
"Leave the invitation there too." Haru whispered aloud, passing the red and green envelop in her hand.
"Haru-chan, why are we inviting her if she's already going?" Kyoko raised a brow once the invitation was placed on top of the little box.
Haru shrugged, "I'm not sure,"

"Chrome looked quit upset when she returned," Mukuro said before setting his cup back on the table. "Don't you agree."
"I don't care," M.M pouted, noticing Mukuro look up "...Do you think it's about Hibari?"
Kufufufu "Of course, he looked gloomier than usual."
"What should I do?"
Mukuro smirked, "It's nice seeing you and Chrome so close."
"W-we aren't close!" M.M stuttered, blushing deeper when her boyfriend wouldn't stop smirking. "I-I just know about this stuff."
Mukuro still smirked,
"I'll call her later..." M.M said behind her cup of wine.

"You like Chrome," Gokudera suddenly spoke, still walking at the same pace as Yamamoto "Don't you?"
Yamamoto blush a very light pink "Ha ha, what are you talking about Gokudera?"
"Don't play dumb, baseball idiot."
"He he, is it that obvious?" he scratched the back of his head, grinning like usual.
"Yes," Gokudera huffed, turning by the corridor, followed by Yamamoto. "It is."
"That's kind of embarrassing.." he chuckled.
"Well, it's none of my business where you go from there, but watch out for Hibari.. He seems to be the over protective type."

Dino chuckled from the driver's seat, finally making it to the Mansion. "I'm surprised I wasn't bitten to death for being late."
Hibari completely ignored him, his head turned so it was facing the window.
"Is something wrong?" he asked,
But no answer.
"Is it Chrome? You seem different after the mission with her?"
Once the car stopped, Hibari swiftly got out without word.
Dino looked through the window as he walked up the steps to the mansion.
Something must really be bothering him.

"Is something wrong with Chrome-chan?" Kyoko said beside Tsuna, their hands intertwined as they watched television together.
"Why do you ask that?" Tsuna asked, combing her bangs from her face.
"Well, she never leaves her room anymore," She said quietly, "I'm becoming worried."
So, he wasn't the only one that noticed a change in his female mist guardian.
Well, not only her..
Hibari seems more herbivore-ish since he hasn't beaten anyone up in a long while...Since the mission, to make it more specific.
"Is it about Hibari?" she sat up, looking at her boyfriend's face "I don't see them together anymore."
"I'm not really sure.."

Chrome slowly sat up, covers still over her head.
Did he not see her strong enough to handle the situation?
She covered her face with her hands,
A feeling.
She's been having a weird feeling that she never had before.
Was it anger?
She was never angry at anybody before.
Was it doubtfulness?
No, it couldn't be just that.
Was it, what M.M said, love?
What was love suppose to feel like?
A tightening in chest that makes you want to cry? A feeling of wanting them to hold you again? The sense of butterflies in her belly when they touched?
"Urrgh," She groaned, looking down at her hand.
The ring,
She still had it on.
She sighed, stretching her arm to her lamp on the night stand.
A card and a box?
She grabbed both things, looking down at both.
Christmas Party
It was written in a green and red envelop with both Kyoko and Haru's name.
She smiled.
At least there was something to look forward to.
She'll open it later.
Then, her attention was on the box.
A purple little box with a indigo ribbon...Their colors.
She frowned.
It was the present she got him, a white watch with her name and his imprinted on the back.
Kyoya and Chrome
She bit her bottom lip, the urge to cry a bit came from no where...But she wouldn't, cause she was a woman.
But,
Are they done for good?
x
Hibari sat on his room balcony, a glass of coconut juice by his side.
That woman,
How did she have the power to make him feel so...so...like a herbivore.
Even being in a car with his idiot tutor for almost an hour, and not even a single threat.
Why did she listen to him?
Wasn't he doing the right thing in telling her to get dressed?
He sighed,
Only this woman can make him like this..
AN: To be continued...

Review.!
Filler-ish? Sorry, I know. I need to set up a good plot of the party and the make-up.
And for those who noticed I deleted a story, Well, sorry again. A anonymous reviewer said some things that just made me wanna cry. Some people can be so mean. I was thinking of deleting this one too, since that person had something to say about this one too-again, very mean- but I decided not to since I'm so far along and I like this fic.
