Chap 13. Mukuro, Hibari, and Nagi's Memory

My name is Rokudo Nagi. Well, my parents were not getting along. They fight everyday because of a simple matter. I never really mind, though. After all, I have Mukuro-niisama in my company. He'll never leave me behind. I love Nii-sama very much. (Nagi)

"Nagi.. Today is your birthday, right?" Mukuro(8) asked kindly while smiling towards his sister. Nagi(6) stared at him for a while before she nodded.

"Here is your present. Keep your allowance here.." Mukuro said as he handed her a wallet with a metallic skull on it. Nagi stared at the wallet, then at him.

"Why is it skull-patterned.. Nii-sama?" she asked innocently. Mukuro ruffled her hair.

"Because I indeed wanted my sweet little Nagi to grew stronger and stronger just like the metallic skull.. You won't be seen as the weak Nagi anymore. Will you promise me, my little Nagi?" he asked.

"I wanted a name.." she said.

"Name? What are you talking about, Nagi? You already have an indeed, a beautiful name.." he said. She shook her head.

"I wanted a name based on this skull. When I become stronger someday, I wanted to use that name. Will you be the one who give me the name, Nii-sama?" she asked. Mukuro chuckled.

"Kufufu.. You're as sweet as ever, my little Nagi. Well.. I supposed it'll be great if I use English in your name too. So it'll be.." Mukuro smiled and patted her head. "..Chrome Dokuro.."

"Kurōmu..Dokuro?" she asked. Mukuro nodded.

"Chrome stands for the color of metallic, and Dokuro has 'skull written on its kanji. Would you use this name one day, Nagi?" he asked. She nodded while smiling brightly.

"Thank you, Nii-sama!"

My parents were a mess, and so is my school life. I just can't take it anymore. I just wanted to disappear from this world as fast as possible. Maybe I can take myself away from this messed up life. Not even one good thing in my life.. (Nagi)

Nagi is sobbing at the corner of the room. She was being bullied by her classmates. And when she got home, her parents were in a quarrel.

"Nagi.." Mukuro said while approaching her.

"Nii-sama.." she said while turning her head to face him. Her eyes are teary,

Mukuro didn't bother to ask her about her problem, cause he already knew about it. It must be the family and school matter. He quickly leaned his face to hers. Making her blushed.

"Nagi.." he whispered before he pressed his lips against hers, much to her surprise. They're siblings, right? They shouldn't be doing this. What if someone saw them? What if their parents get mad? But when her parents mentioned in her mind, she ignored it.

She could care less about the surroundings and just enjoyed the pleasure. After all, it's her precious brother who did this to her. She should be honored that her brother loved her very much.

"I love you, Mukuro-niisama. Don't ever leave me.."

It was right after my eight birthday when my parents decided to get divorced. Nii-sama went with father, and I.. with my mother.
My mother got married again. She get along well with my stepfather. But my life is.. worse than before.
She never cared about e anymore. Especially after she become a famous artist. My stepfather is also a busy man. No one ever gave me any attention I needed. Well, if it's just my parents, I wouldn't mind. But now.. even Mukuro-niisama is not here to accompany me anymore. I feel really.. lonely.
Then, I always decided to go outside every year on my birthday. Waiting for it to end then I go home. I've always wished on my birthday.. that one day, I would be able to spend it with someone again.
And yes, that fateful day finally came.. (Nagi)

"What are you doing outside? It's snowing.." a raven-haired boy said while covering Nagi's body with his coat.

Nagi's cheeks reddened. Because of the coldness, and because of her blush.

"I'm waiting for my birthday to end.." she uttered. The boy stare at her for a while. Looks like he's thinking about something.

"My name is Hibari Kyouya and I'm 13. What is your name?" he asked. Much to Nagi's surprise. What's with this guy? He's introducing himself with a kindergarten style. She chuckled.

"It's Nagi.." she said.

"What about your surname?" he asked out of curiosity.

Honestly, Nagi doesn't even want to think about it. Which surname would she tell him? From her current family? No, it's disgusting. And from her old family? It would only bring back the past pain.

Nagi shook her head. "The surname doesn't matter.." she said.

I moved to Italy with my father, but soon after, he died on an accident with mafia. Me? I don't care. I would only think of the way to survive my life. So I went straight to the nearby Family. It's called the Estronea Family. But unfortunately, I became the test subject there. With some other children.. (Mukuro)

X X X

"It's time! We're dead after this!" a blond-boy named Joshima Ken freaked out. It's time for the children to enter the laboratorium. It's a pain. None of the children like this moment.

"I'll do something.." Mukuro said as he stood from his place.

"What can you do? You're just a child like us!" Ken yelled to him.

"Kufufu.. Just wait.." he said while exiting their room and walked towards the laboratorium. Ken, and his friend, Chikusa, waited for him to come back. But it's longer than usual. They decided to walk to the lab and opened the door. Just to be surprised to see Mukuro standing there, smirking. Among the corpses of the scientists.

The two of them, amazed by his power. And then, decided to follow him afterwards. Becoming a gang of mafia criminals.

Thanks to a certain girl, now the ice walls around my heart disappeared. But I'm not completely happy at this. I'm still trying to bite someone to death as usual. Of course I don't want my title as the scariest guy in Namimori got ruined. But at least.. my ice barrier disappeared whenever I'm with her.. (Hibari)

"Cough! Cough!"

"See? I told you not to play with the snow too long. Now you're sick.." Hibari said rudely while placing his palm on Nagi's forehead. It's burning!

"You have to go home now.." he said. She shook her head.

"It's too painful to go home.." she said with a saddened expression. It's painful for him to see her like that.

"Can I.. spend tonight with you?" she plead with her puppy-eyes.

"Don't talk like a whore, Nagi. If you wanted to have sleepover, say it properly.." Hibari said coldly.

"Sorry.." she said.

Today is the day the three of us met. It was snowing that time again. It's Nagi's birthday. And Mukuro's coming home after years. Actually he just broke out of the Vindice.
Today is the day.. where our bond disappeared like snow when the new season comes. It's the day.. we'll turn into strangers.. (Nagi, Mukuro, and Hibari)

Nagi is waiting in the park alone. The park was surprisingly lonely. No one was there. But it doesn't matter after all.

"Hey, young lady. What are you doing here all alone?" a man approached her. She moved backwards. She's scared of strangers.

"My, my.. I can see the darkness in your heart really clearly, young lady. Will you become.." his eyes turned to be much more furious. "..my next prey..?"

He took out a small red stone. Suddenly the surroundings became red. A barrier. He formed a barrier. A bloody red barrier. It makes the people outside the barrier couldn't see what's going on inside.

"You wanted to disappear, right, young lady? You feel worthless and you wanted to become someone else, right? Take this and your wish would be fulfilled.." Rye said while offering the Memory Rosary.

'I don't know why but I really wanted to use this thing. Nii-sama and Kyo would be okay without me, right? If I change, would they still recognize me?' she thought while starring at the red stone.

She held the stone tightly and begin to pray. I wish I could be reborned as someone different. I wanted to start my life over again.. Nii-sama, Kyo.. forgive my selfishness..

"NAGIII!" Mukuro and Hibari yelled as they ran towards her.

Rye smiled devilishly and took out his sword. He stabbed her with his sword and began to suck her existence. Not to mention, he used the existence power he sucked to attack Mukuro and Hibari.

"Your memories about this young lady should be the cost.." Rye smiled playfully while sealing away their memories.

"What do you mean, Reborn?" Tsuna shouted. Some tears could be seen flowing through his cheeks.

"What I'm trying to say here is.. Chrome Dokuro, no, Nagi died in that incident.." Reborn said with a straight face.

"H-how could this be..?" Tsuna's legs trembled and he landed to the ground. He sat there for a while.

"Tenth! Get a grip on yourself!" Gokudera said, he's also showing some sad expression.

"Gokudera-kun. This is not true, right?" Tsuna asked. "Tenth.." Gokudera whispered.

"After all this time. The Chrome that has been fighting along with us. Always doing her best not to be a burden to us. The Chrome that I've been trying to protect because I know she's so fragile. What have I done?" Tsuna yelled while burying his face on his knee.

"Sawada-san.."

"Uni too. I failed to protect her. I'm already failed as a Boss!" he yelled again. Many flashbacks appeared in his mind.

"Boss.."

"I think Hibari-san'll come, Boss.."

"I made these for Boss's sake.."

"D-don't be panic, Boss!"

"B-Boss, calm down.."

"I-is that so, Boss? Then, I'll choose this one.."

"Daijoubu dakara. Don't be worry that much, Boss.."

"Thank you, Boss.."

"What have I done..?" Tsuna buried himself deeper. Much to the others' concern. "..Chrome.." he uttered under his breath.

"You didn't do anything, Tsuna. Don't be such a weakling.." Reborn said.

"B-but, Reborn.." he said while raising his head.

"Shut up, dame-tsuna. Chrome become like this because of her own fault and selfishness.." Reborn said strictly.

"Reborn! How could you say something like that in a time like this!" Tsuna shouted.

"You've becoming a good Boss already, Tsuna.." Reborn said. "..You've lead her until she become like this. Well, it was mainly because of Mukuro, though. But.. I can tell how much she's enjoying the time with you guys. Because of you.. her wish were fulfilled for real. To change her life.." Reborn said.

"Mm.. I'm glad if she's happy.."

Hibari is sitting beside Chrome in the infirmary. He's holding her hand tightly. Waiting for her to open her eyes. But she's still sleeping while breathing softly. She's using an oxygen mask to help her respiration. The room was filled with silence.

After waiting for a while, Hibari decided to exit the room. Because he thinks Mukuro may wanted to visit her too after this. He stared at her for a while before closing the door.

Several minutes after Hibari left, someone opened the door. It's a little boy.

"Mukuro. Where is your guest?" Reborn asked.

"He's with M.M now.." Mukuro answered.

BAM! Suddenly, M.M entered the room. "Mukuro-chan! That boy is missing!" M.M said as she walked towards Mukuro. "Shit! I just left him for a while and he disappeared afterwards! What a problem!"

"Don't worry about him. If it's him, I think he won't go far.. That little one.." Mukuro said.

The little boy walked towards Chrome's bed and stared at her for a while.

"Yuu genkaku.."
