Chap 11. Pool War, Pillow Fight, And Meet Baby Uni!
After Aria convinced Chrome to try the swimsuits, at last she agreed and tried them. She choose one of them which is indigo in colour with frilly top and some ribbons on the below.
"Wow! It's cute, Chrome!" Tsuna said while blushing.
"I-is that so, Boss? Then I'll choose this one.." Chrome said shyly.
"I have to admit that your taste is great, Dokuro!" Gokudera said. Well, actually, he just wanted to say, 'Tenth's taste is great!'
"Since Chrome is the only girl in our group, it's somehow refreshing watching her.." Yamamoto said with a grin.
"YEAH! After all, she's cute to the EXTREME!" Ryohei shouted.
Chrome blushed more and more at their comments. She lowered her head. But after realizing everyone is looking at her, she blushed even more and then covered her body with her hands. "D-don't look.." she said nervously. Which make everyone blush and turn away.
"S-sorry, Chrome! We didn't mean to make you nervous!" Tsuna said while still looking away, blushing.
"D-don't worry, Boss. It's not your fault. I'm just embarrassed.." she whispered while covering herself with the changing room's curtain.
"Since everyone's choosen their swimsuit, I guess it's time to go to the pool. I'll purchase your swimsuit, Chrome. So you can change to your uniform already.." Aria said. Chrome nodded.
"So, which pool are we going to go?" Tsuna asked.
"I'll take you to the GiglioNero's private pool. So we won't be bothered. Well, you see, it's so crowded if we go to an ordinary pool in summer.." Aria said.
"I-I guess you're right, Aria-san.." Tsuna said.
They arrived in the GiglioNero's private pool. It's located not too far from their mansion. So it's still inside the woods. The pool is so wide that maybe it could content 500 people. Tsuna and the others could not help but jawdrop when they saw the pool.
"I-it's incredible, Aria-san!" Tsuna said excitedly. "B-but I can't swim.." Tsuna said while lowering his head.
"Don't worry, Tenth! I'll be your swimming tutor for today!" Gokudera said excitedly while wearing his glasses.
"A..hahaha.." Tsuna laughed nervously.
Hibari looked around and something comes to his mind suddenly.
Flashback
"The pool is wide, huh, Kyo?" the girl asked. She's wearing a towel around her neck. And she's using her school's swimsuit. "..I used to come here with my brother every summer..' she continued while putting her hands inside the refreshing cold water.
"That doesn't really matter, Nagi. WHY are you using your school swimsuit?" Hibari asked while sweatdropping.
"I can't help it, right? I can't ask my parents to buy me one.." she pouted. So cute, Hibari thought.
"And anyway, why are you calling me with that disgusting name?" Hibari tried to keep his cool.
"Cause it sounds cute.. isn't it?" she said with her puppy-eyes attack. It's so bright that maybe it could make him blind.
"Stop that face!" Hibari said while covering her face with his hands. She chuckled.
"And anyway.. From today on, I'll call you Kyo!" she said with a smile.
"Whatever.." Hibari rolled his eyes. Receiving a giggle from Nagi.
"Anyway, why are you here when you can't swim?" he asked. When suddenly Nagi blushed terribly.
"D-don't say that! It's embarrassing!" she said. She sighed and finally said.
"I want you to teach me.."
End of Falshback
Hibari chuckled at his thought. "And she still couldn't swim after I teach her all day.." he whispered to himself. Imagining the scene when he taught her to swim.
"Mukuro-sama! Hibari-san! Look! The pool is really wide!" Chrome said excitedly. Her cheeks reddened and she looks so happy.
"Would you like to swim, sweet Chrome?" Mukuro asked.
"I-I can't swim so I'll pass.." she said shyly. Hibari's eyes widened for a while. Is she really Nagi from my past?
Hibari wanted to confirm his thought, but he just can't bring himself to ask her. What if she isn't? And on top of all, why don't she remember him? But the answer he really wanted to know is why can't he remember her until now? Is there a secret behind this?
"Hibari.." Reborn suddenly appeared behind him. He turned around to see him. "What is it, infant? When did you came here?" he asked.
"I have something important to tell you. It's regarding Mukuro and Chrome.. and a prison break that happened a little while before Mukuro and his Kokuyo gang.." he said in a serious tone.
"What? Were they involved?" he asked, still trying to act calm.
"No, it's not that. Just.. the escapee were a very dangerous mafia criminal, his name was Rye. He's a barrier expert. He could make a special barrier and trapped anyone near with that. And he'll kill them, but left them a fragment of his Memory Rosary. We haven't do a research to confirm what can a Memory Rosary do, but.. I wanted you to prepared for the worst-case scenario.." Reborn said with a really serious tone.
Hibari's eyes widened. "What do you mean? You mean something happened to both that woman and that pathetic herbivore?" he asked calmly. His brain can't work anymore. He's so confused. And what about the worst-case scenario Reborn was talking about. WHAT is the worst can happen? He turned to see Mukuro.
He's smiling at Chrome who's talking to him. Her face looks so happy too. Maybe she hasn't show it much before, but of course, she's so happy that she could meet Mukuro in person.
Hibari could just be amazed by Mukuro. He could smile after he heard a news like this. Though the news is still incomplete. It must be hard to face it. He wondered.. if he could act like nothing happened after this.
"Why are you telling me this, infant?" he asked. Still keeping his calm.
"Yes.. Cause there's a possibility that you were also there in that incident.." Reborn stated. He's so damn serious when he talk about this.
"Me?" Hibari asked.
"That incident occurred in Namimori. Mukuro was there that time. His reason for being there was already known after a long research. But still.. many things remain mysteries in this case. I still need more time to be able to explain all of it to you.." Reborn explained. Hibari nodded.
"And.. Hibari, please don't tell Chrome about it.." Reborn said before he walked away.
Hibari turned to see Mukuro and Chrome. "I guess I'll just let him have fun before he can't do it anymore, huh?" he whispered to himself.
"VOOIII! Why haven't that bastard Yamamoto visit us already?" Squalo yelled.
"You're as noisy as ever.." Bel said while grinning.
"You're really honest to say that you wanted to meet him, Squalo.." Lussuria said while smiling happily.
"And stupid too.." Mammon added.
"Shut up, all of you! I just wanna- OUCH!" Xanxus threw his wine bottle at Squalo to silence him.
"You damn-Boss! What're you-"
"Shut up, trash! Sawada Tsunayoshi and his Guardians will visit tomorrow.. Let's welcome them with that.." he said with a devilish smirk.
Mukuro is teaching Chrome how to swim. He's holding both her hands while she tried to swim.
"Mu-Mukuro-sama.. It's embarrassing.." she said as her cheeks burned red.
"What is it to be embarrassed, my precious Chrome? I've always wanted to do this before I lost my chance.." his smile suddenly saddened.
"Mukuro.. sama?" she asked him. She stopped swimming and landed her feet on the bottom of the pool(since it's narrow)
"What's wrong?" she asked, concerned.
Mukuro shook his head slowly. "Nothing, my Chrome. Nothing that you need to worry about.." Mukuro said as he caressed her cheek.
But Chrome didn't blush. She put her hands on the sides of his face. "Mukuro-sama. If something's bothering you, please tell me about it. I'm glad if I can be some help to you.." she said with her determined eyes. Mukuro's eyes widened to see her. His precious Nagi has grown up this much without him realizing. But still.. it's something she mustn't know. It's something he couldn't tell no matter what.
He smiled at her. This time, a much brighter smile. He touched Chrome's hands which are still on his face. "I'm proud of you, my little Nagi.." he said. She blushed terribly. In addition, she realized that Mukuro's still touching her hands. She let go quickly and turned away.
"I..uh.. Mukuro-sama..um.." she can't think of anything to say. Her mind is confused that she can't even face Mukuro. And Mukuro could just chuckled to see her reaction.
"You sure are a good boy, Kyouya-kun.." suddenly, Aria appeared beside Hibari while smiling. He turned to see her.
"What are you talking about?" he asked while looking at Mukuro and Chrome again.
"You don't have to tell me. I knew how you feel, Kyouya-kun. Thus, you let him take the chance.." Aria said while looking at Mukuro.
"I didn't let him have the chance. Don't misunderstood, woman.." he said while walking away.
Aria sighed while smiling. "Such a dishonest child, huh, Kyouya-kun?" she muttered.
"Boss.." Chrome said when she got out of the pool. Well, Tsuna didn't got a chance to see her in swimsuit earlier since she quickly get inside the pool.
He blushed a little while staring at her slender body. She's not eating properly, but how could she keep her body so.. perfect? Mukuro and Hibari noticed this and quickly bring out their weapons.
"Kufufu.. Watch the thing you're staring, Sawada Tsunayoshi.." Mukuro said while pointing his trident at Tsuna.
"HIIY!" he raised his hands.
"I'll bite you to death!" Hibari added.
"NOO!" Tsuna yelled. Suddenly, Gokudera appeared with dynamites in his hands.
"Don't worry, Tenth! I'll protect you!" he said.
"Hey, hey, what happened?" Lambo asked.
"Are they fighting?" Ryohei asked.
"I guess.." Yamamoto said.
"Storm Person.. Please don't fight with Mukuro-sama and Hibari-san.." Chrome tried to convince Gokudera but failed.
"I can't, Dokuro! The two of them just won't respect the Tenth even a single bit!" Gokudera said.
"Th-they're respecting the Boss!" Chrome tried to make him believe.
"I won't respect a mafia.." Mukuro said with his usual smirk.
"I won't rescpet a herbivore.." Hibari said as he turned his face to the other side.
"Hi-Hibari-san.. Boss is not a herbivore but an omnivore.." Chrome tried to explain. Which make Hibari looked at her with a questioning look. Is she indirectly saying that he's an idiot for not knowing that Tsuna eats meat too?
"I'm not stupid.." he muttered.
"A-ah! So-sorry!" she said while bowing repatedly.
Suddenly, Mukuro pointed his trident at Hibari's neck. He widened his eyes in surprise, but quickly changed it into a glare towards Mukuro.
"Oya? You are making my Chrome feel guilty, Hibari Kyoya? Just who do you think you are?" he asked while smiling like usual.
"Shut up, you pathetic herbivore.." Hibari said coldly while pointing his tonfa at Chrome. Much to her surprise.
"Kufufu.. You're trying to make my precious Chrome a hostage?" he asked.
"What if I am?" he asked. Mukuro just smiled playfully.
"S-stop it you two.." Tsuna said panickly.
"Shut up, Sawada Tsunayoshi!" the two of them pointed their weapon to Tsuna. "HIIYY!" he yelled while raising his hands.
'Why do they get along well when it come to eliminate me?' he shouted in mind.
Suddenly, two dynamites fell on the floor. Right in front of Mukuro and Hibari. The two of them realized it and quickly jumped backward while dragging Chrome along with them. "HIIIY!" and it leave only Tsuna to suffer.
BOOM!
"Tenth!" Gokudera yelled. Then he turned to see Mukuro, Hibari and Chrome. "Hibari! Mukuro! How dare you do that to Tenth!" he yelled at them.
'Wasn't it you who did that? And why does Chrome isn't count?' the two of them said in mind.
"Kufufu.. Are you trying to pick a fight, Gokudera Hayato?" Mukuro asked while walking slowly towards Gokudera.
"What if I am?" Gokudera said stubbornly while bringing out his dynamites.
"Gyahaha! Lambo-san also wants to play!" Lambo said while taking out his 10 Years Bazooka and threw it to Gokudera. Which he quickly dodge it and it hits the floor and sinked inside the pool.
"GYYAAA! Lambo-san's bazooka!" he yelled.
"Ah!" Chrome uttered when she saw it. She quickly jumped inside the pool and tried to reach it. Much to Hibari's surprise. 'She can't swim, can she?' he asked himself.
And right, Chrome is also drowned. He widened his eyes. "Nagi!" he yelled. But it seems like no one noticed because of the commotion. He quickly jumped into the pool and swim towards her.
When he reached her, she's already fainted. Much to Hibari's concern. He quickly swam to the pool ladder and got out. Aria, who has been watching all the time formed a smile on her face. Suddenly, Tsuna noticed and ran towards them, worriedly.
"Hibari-san! What happened to Chrome?" he asked.
"She drown because she wanted to reach that Bazooka.." Hibari said calmly, trying not to panick. Tsuna leaned to Chrome to see her clearly.
"Sh-she's unconscious, Hibari-san!" he shouted worriedly. Knowing that his female Mist Guardian might need a first aid, he looked around searching for Aria to perform an artificial respiration. But Aria is nowhere to be seen. Well, it's not like she's not there, but she's hiding. While giggling, of course.
"We don't have time to search for that woman, Sawada Tsunayoshi.." Hibari said to Tsuna with a scary look. Which makes Tsuna trembled.
"I'll perform the artificial respiration.." he said while pressing Chrome's chest several times, then pressed his lips on hers. Much to Tsuna's surprise.
Hibari repeated the progress several times until Chrome suddenly coughed out the water.
"Chrome!" Tsuna said happily. He let out a sigh of relieve.
"B-boss.." she uttered under her breath.
"Don't move, woman. I'll have to bring you to the infirmary.." Hibari said while picking her up bridal-style. She blushed terribly.
After the two of them left, Tsuna is still jawdrop on his standing spot. Trying to get what just happened. Trying to get his mind back from its own little world. He then shook her head.
"Wh-WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" he yelled. Much to everyone's surprise. Mukuro and Gokudera who's still fighting, stopped and looked at him. Yamamoto and Ryohei who's still trying to calm Lambo because of his Bazooka also turned to see him.
Chrome is sleeping peacefully inside the infirmary. But anyway, why is there an infirmary in a pool? (A/N: Never mind that, okay? Cause I've never been in a public pool in my whole life..)
Watching her sleeping face makes him remember something important. When he look at her closely like this, she really does resembled Nagi.
Flashback
"Here is your bento, Kyo!" Nagi said while handing Hibari her homemade bento. When he opened the box, he sweatdropped to see many odd-shaped onigiri.
"For god's sake, Nagi. What is this?" he asked.
"You're so rude! Can't you see it's onigiri?" Nagi said while pouting. Hibari tried to ignore the shape and bite a little piece of it.
His face turned blue. "Cough! Cough! Dammit! Nagi, you putted too many salt in it! Are you trying to kill me?" Hibari yelled.
"I-it's not good?" Nagi asked nervously. She sighed. "Hh.. I'm already 13 and I still can't cook. How embarrassing.." she muttered to herself.
"You're still 13 and you're attempting to kill someone.." Hibari said while drinking his mineral water. Which made Nagi glared at him.
"Hmph.. You're so rude, Kyo. Unlike my brother!" she said.
"Well, at least I'm your only friend. And your brother again. You're always talking about him. Where is he anyway? I've never seen him.." Hibari said.
"He's not here. He went away with my father when I was still 8. Well, because our parents divorced and I went with my mother. He never came back afterwards.." Nagi uttered sadly. Hibari just stared at her. She's so.. wonderful. Just by looking at her made him feel at ease. Though, he never admitted it.
"Hh.. I hope my brother is here.." she muttered to herself. "He's the most handsome and wonderful guy ever.." she said while her eyes sparkling.
"What?" Hibari said. Pissed by what she just said.
"I mean, he's kind. He's gorgeus, and on top of all, he always cared for me.." Nagi said happily.
"I care for you too!" Hibari said loudly. Nagi's eyes widened a bit while looking at him. Realizing what he had said, he quickly turned his face away. Hiding his reddened cheeks.
"k-Kyo.. Ah, I see. You mean as a friend, right? I'm sorry I misunderstood what you're saying.." Nagi said while smiling nervously. Hibari's relived she doesn't realize, but also pissed at the same time. She wanted to tell her how he feels. He wanted her to know.
Hibari turned to face her again. Her cheeks were red. She's also embarrassed. Realizing that Hibari faced her again, she lowered her head to hide her face with her bangs.
Hibari encouraged himself to hold her hands. Much to her surprise. She raised her head to see him too. Their eyes met and they stay like that for a while until Hibari pressed his lips against hers. Her eyes widened in surprise. She closed her eyes tightly. She clenched her fists and tried not to tremble.
She flinched when Hibari's tounge suddenly entered her mouth. She blushed madly. She uttered his name every time he make a short break. Each sounds she make made Hibari wanted more. He unconsciously slipped his right hand under her skirt and another one behind her shirt. She quickly broke the kiss.
"K-Kyo! Please stop!" she yelled. She's blushing terribly. She can't believe what he was trying to do.
Hibari, realizing that he has lost control to himself, quickly turned his face away. He stood from his spot. "S-sorry.. Nagi.." he uttered while walking away. Leaving the shocked and embarrassed Nagi behind.
End of Flashback
"That's the last memory I remembered about her, huh.." Hibari uttered under his breath. He slowly caressed Chrome's cheek.
"Are you.. really the Nagi I missed so much?" he asked. Though he knew she can't answer him because she's asleep. But he just wanted to know no matter what. "..If you are her. Then why don't you remember? Why can't I remember you until now?"
As he asked himself these questions, he suddenly remembered what Reborn told him earlier. Is that incident related to his forgotten memories? He shook his head to throw away the thoughts. There's no way that incident related. Even Reborn is not certain if he was related to that incident or not.
"Hibari-san..?" Chrome awake and said softly to Hibari. Much to his surprise. After all, his hand is still on her cheek.
"O-oh! You're awake.." he said while quickly pulled his hand away.
Chrome raised herself so she's in a sitting position. "A-anoo.. Thanks for rescuing me earlier, Hibari-san. I-I mean I know I shouldn't have done something like that from the beginning. It's just.." she's trying to search for a way to explain to Hibari because she's afraid to be bitten to death!
"That doesn't matter.." Hibari said while still looking away. Not wanting her to see his reddened cheeks.
"E-eh?" Chrome's quite confused to see his reaction. But she let out a sigh of relieve rather than asking him why. "Thank you, Hibari-san.." she said with a bright smile.
Hibari's eyes widened when he sees her bright smile. So warm, so gentle, so nostalgic.
"Kyo.."
He could see Nagi through Chrome. Is she.. really Nagi? Nagi.. I missed you..
Without himself realizing, he has been staring at Chrome for a while now. She blushed as she noticed. She covered her face. "Hi-Hibari-san. Is there something on my face?" she asked shyly.
Hibari snapped and finally got back to his senses. "Nothing, woman.." he said. While suddenly Chrome stared at him.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Namae.." she said.
"?"
"I have a name, Hibari-san. It's not 'woman', it's Chrome. Chrome Dokuro.." she said as she offered a hand while smiling brightly again.
Hibari stared at her hand for a while.
Are you Nagi? If you are.. then, I want to believe it..
He took her hand and shook it.
Hey, Nagi. When will you remember me?
Chrome smiled as he shook her hand. But after the shakehand is over, Hibari pulled her into an embrace. "Hi-Hibari-san?" she yelled in surprise.
Hibari didn't say anything. He just wanted to feel her in his embrace. He wanted to feel her warmth. He wanted.. her to remember him once again. Please, Nagi.. Remember me..
Hibari's embrace grew tighter and tighter. "Hi-Hibari-san.. I can't breath.." she said. But he ignored her. He buried his face on her shoulder. Suddenly, Chrome felt her shoulder become wet. Is he crying?
After realizing this, she then replied his embrace. She hugged him tight. Like she wanted to comfort him for whatever is bothering him right now. The fierce carnivore Hibari Kyouya is showing his weak side in front of her.
Meanwhile, everyone is peeking in front of the infirmary door. Well, when I said everyone, I mean EVERYONE. Including our furious Mukuro-sama..
"See, Tsunayoshi-kun? I told you this is the best way.." Aria whispered happily.
"B-but what if Hibari-san know?" he asked.
"Rather than him, you might as well worry about my reaction to this, Sawada Tsunayoshi.." Mukuro said while smiling devilishly like usual. He's holding his trident and ready to kill anyone. And here, when I mean anyone, it's Tsuna.
"HIIYY!" he yelled while running away as fast as possible, followed by Mukuro.
"Where are you taking us, Aria-san?" Tsuna asked.
"Ssh.." Aria whispered. She is showing Tsuna and his Guardians a small house inside the woods. If Kyoko and Haru were here, they might already squeeled and said something like, 'What a cute house!'
"Inside her, there is something I treasure the most.." Aria said while smiling.
"What is it? Golds?" Tsuna asked. "Aliens?" Gokudera asked. "Cash money?" Yamamoto asked. "Famous athletes' merchandise collections?" Ryohei asked. "Candy?" Lambo asked.
"No, it's a treasure for all moms.." she said while opening the house's front door. Tsuna and the others enterd the house just to see a white cradle in the main room. They walked slowly towards it. When they saw what's inside, it's revealing a raven-haired baby girl sleeping peacefully.
"Uni!" Tsuna yelled, but quickly slapped his mouth once he realized Aria was here.
"How do you know her name, Tsunayoshi-kun?" Aria asked. She's quite surprised.
"Who is Uni?" Lambo asked while picking his nose.
"It's that girl we met in the future, you stupid cow!" Gokudera yelled. Which makes Tsuna panicked. Aria-san is here, Gokudera-kun!
"I can't remember someone like that, stupidera!" he yelled while taking out his bazooka(which is already taken out from the pool). He throw it towards Gokudera, but he dodged it again. And to the worse, behind Gokudera is Uni's cradle.
"Ah! Abunai!" Tsuna yelled. Uni 10 years after this is already dead! What if Aria-san found out?
And BOOM! The bazooka exploded. Revealing the familiar pink smoke around the room. We're dead!, Tsuna thought.
"Sawada-san?" Uni asked.
"!#$%^&*"
"U-UNI?" Tsuna yelled in surprise. So much surprise. Uni's alive? How?
"Why am I here? If I'm not mistaken, I'm still in the middle of the Arcobaleno Tri-hmph!" Tsuna quickly covered her mouth. Holding her back from revealing even more information.
"Maybe it's not exactly 10 years, Tenth. Because the stupid cow's bazooka sank just a moment ago.." Gokudera said while using his glasses. Revealing a teacher-like appearance.
"I-I see.." Tsuna said. He turned to Uni(whose mouth is still covered)
He uncovered her mouth and talk to her. "Y-you see, Uni. I beg you! Don't be surprised when you turn around okay?" Tsuna said carefully to Uni. Which she nodded. Then she turned around just to be surprised to see her mother, Aria.
She covered her mouth in surprise and tears flowing down her cheeks. "O-okaa-sama.." she said. Her voice trembling.
Anyone in the room had almost never seen her cry before(or maybe never..)
"U..ni?" Aria asked. Wanted to confirm what she's eeing right in front of her now. Uni nodded happily while running towards her mom and hugged her.
"I've always wanted to see you all this time. Though I told Uncle Reborn that I musn't see you, I just.. I missed you so much.." she said while sobbing. She buried her face on her mother's chest and Aria stroked her back softly while smiling.
"So this is you when you grown up, eh, Uni? I'm very proud of you.." Aria said with a warm smile when she pushed her slowly. Uni's eyes widened a bit. She wiped her tears. Aria ruffled her hair.
"That's it, Uni! We, the Boss of GiglioNero Family musn't cry! Always remember to smile!" Aria said. Uni nodded and smile.
"Uni.." Tsuna whispered sadly. I'm so sorry I can't rescue you that time..
"Sawada-san.. Everyone.." Uni said while facing all of them and smiled to her heart's content.
"..Thank you very much.."
POFF! The pink smoke appeared again, revealing baby Uni once again. Aria quickly catched her. Then she looked at Tsuna for a while. Tsuna frowned in concern. He's afraid of what Aria might ask him after this. But she smiled and say, "I believe I shouldn't ask any of this, eh, Tsunayoshi-kun?"
Tsuna smiled and let out a sigh of relieve, then he nodded slowly.
"That was a whole messed up day!" Gokudera said before he landed himself on the bed.
"Haha, it was because you pick a fight with Mukuro, Gokudera.." Yamamoto said.
"It was because he never respect Tenth!" Gokudera said.
"Maa, maa. Calm down, everybody.." Tsuna tried to separate the two of them. He sighed. 'I wonder if Chrome is okay..'
"I-I'm going to sleep now!" Chrome said while covering herself with blanket until it covers her whole body up to her head. She's really afraid that Mukuro or Hibari would do something, so she went to sleep ahead.
She, Mukuro, and Hibari are sleeping on a futon. And I mean, ONE big futon for the three of them. This is Aria's doing though. She's like the second Reborn here..
"Okay, then. Goodnight, my sweet Chrome.." Mukuro said as he gave Chrome a goodnight kiss on her forehead. Much to Hibari's annoyance.
Well, even 5 minutes haven't passed, but Mukuro and Hibari could already heard Chrome's soft breathes. Which means, she's already asleep. Hibari looked at her. She's a heavy-sleeper, he thought. Well, when they first arrived at Italy, she was also asleep for maybe more that 15 hours and go back to sleep afterwards. She must be really tired with her daily life. Which, all of us already know that Chrome never gets enough sleep. And just to remind you, SHE SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR! What kind of bastards Ken and Chikusa are? (Phew.. Sorry, I just can't stand watching Chrome being bullied.. =x=)
Hibari realized that Mukuro's also haven't slept while he saw him caressing Chrome's cheek and slowly pushed her bangs behind her ears.
"Chrome.." he whispered. Hibari decided to eavesdrop.
"I.. missed you, my sweet little Nagi.." Mukuro said to the sleeping Chrome. He pulled her head slowly closer to him. "How could I forgot about you?" he uttered under his breaths. Much to Hibari's surprise, but what Mukuro said made him remember something again.
Flashback
"U-um.. Kyo?" Nagi encouraged herself to talk to Hibari. After that accident(Hibari almost raped her, but it's almost, right?), they barely talk or even look at each other. Hibari looked at her but he can't help but blushed terribly, which he never wanted to show her, so he turned away again.
"K-Kyo.. Can we just.. forget about what happened last week? Come on, it's been a week.." Nagi tried to convince Hibari. But whatever. Hibari just can't bear to see her face.
"Kyo.." Nagi said softly. But Hibari didn't turn to face her. Her face saddened. "Kyo.. I'm lonely.." she said as her tears fall to the ground. Hibari quickly turned to face her. He never knew what to do if someone, especially a girl is crying in front of him. But he come up with an idea. He quickly pulled her into an embrace. He stroked her hair as she buried her face on his chest. Sobbing.
"Don't be.. I'm here, Nagi.." he said while tightening his embrace. She nodded in his chest.
When they broke the hug, Nagi wiped her tears. Then she smiled. "That's my Kyo.." she giggled. Hibari's heart skipped a beat when he saw that. The thing he treasured the most in this world. Nagi's smile.
"By the way, Kyo. Nii-sama said, he'll pay a visit three days after this.." she said happily. She then looked at him with her puppy-eyes. "Would you.. like to come with me?" she asked.
Well, Hibari's quite hestitated to answer her, but her face is just too.. irresistible. And yeah, he lost. He gave her a single nod. Which make her smile even brighter. Even Hibari needed to narrow his eys if he didn't want his eyes to be burned.
"Anyway, I'll wait for you on that day in the park.." she said while waving good-bye at him.
"Nagi.." Hibari called for her. She turned around. "What is it?" she asked.
"What is your brother's name?" he asked.
"Oh! I haven't told you before? It's Mukuro-niisama.." she said with a bright smile.
End of Falshback
Hibari's eyes widened. Mukuro-niisama? For real! Mukuro is Nagi's brother? I mean, it's just too unbelievable!
Hibari looked at Mukuro for a while, until he decided to sleep instead of asking him. It's useless after all. He won't answer the question from his rival no matter what.
Suddenly, a pillow landed on Hibari's face. "I know you're still awake, Hibari Kyouya.." Mukuro said. Much to Hibari-san annoyance. He removed the pillow from his face. Listening to what his rival wanted to say.
"Today at the pool, you called Chrome with 'Nagi'. Why is it?" he asked. Much to Hibari's surprise. He heard that?
"It's none of your business.." he replied.
"Or do you perhaps.. Being told by the arcobaleno about the incident?" Mukuro asked again.
"What if I am?" Hibari asked. They're not looking at each other. Well, since there is Chrome between them.
"Kufufu.. Then, just like me, you have to prepare your heart if you don't want to got a heart attack when the research is done.." Mukuro said.
"What's that supposed to mean, Rokudo Mukuro?" Hibari asked. Mukuro's expression saddened, though Hibari can't see it.
"It's just.. that criminal called Kyr was ranked the most dangerous mafia criminal and number one in bringing despair for many people. He has an ability to.. erase an existence.." Mukuro explained.
"Existence? You mean killing?" Hibari asked out of curiousity.
"No.. He live by consuming the existence of a person. When he consumed the existence, it'll be like that person never exist. Little by little become stronger. Though I don't really understang how it works. I hate to say this, but I'll just wait for the next information from the Arcobaleno.." he explained.
BRUGH! Suddenly, a pillow landed on Mukuro's face. "Don't get worried over something uncertain, Rokudo Mukuro. It's so unlike you.." Hibari said coldly.
Mukuro removed the pillow. "Kufufu.. Don't talk like you know me, Hibari Kyoya.." he said. He threw the pillow to Hibari again. "That's the payment for what you've done to Chrome in the pool. You must've enjoyed it very much, eh, Hibari Kyo-hmph!" Hibari raised himself up and throw the pillow as hard as he can to shut Mukuro's mouth.
Mukuro removed the pillow again. A small vein popped out on his smiling face. He raised himself too. He glared at Hibari who's galring at him too. The blue spark appeared.
"You're trying to pick a fight?" Mukuro asked while smiling devilishly while throwing the pillow towards Hibari.
"A pillow fight? Don't make me laugh, Rokudo Mukuro.." Hibari said as he successfully catched the pillow. With all the strength he got, he threw it back to Mukuro and it successfully tored out by Mukuro's trident.
"This fight is getting serious, huh?" Hibari said while showing a smirk. He brought out his tonfa and stood from his place. So is Mukuro. and 3, 2, 1.. Go!
They fight and fight. Dodge and dodge. But miraculously, Chrome didn't awake. What a heavy sleeper she is.
BUK! BUK! BUK!
"What the hell is happening in that room?" Gokudera yelled.
"Maybe they're up to something.. Haha" Yamamoto said.
"D-don't tell me they're.." Tsuna is already imagining many dirty scenes. He blushed. Especially because Chrome is the only female in that room.
Yeah, I know, I know. It's HORRIBLE..
