"I love Chrome Dokuro" - means talking

'I love Chrome Dokuro' - means thinking

Chapter II

In Italy..

Smokes started to reside and to Tsuna's utter shock, he was still alive. Yes. He was still alive even after that attack. He looked around and found his guardians tired and injured just like him. The fight really wore them off.

"Heh you're still alive Vongola?" the boss of Estreneo spoke which brought Tsuna back to reality that the war wasn't ended yet. "Well, you all are supposed to be dead now if only one of your guardian didn't meddle." He continued as he tsked.

"Guardian?" Tsuna muttered confusingly eyebrows furrowing.

"You bastard! What do you mean?" Gokudera blurted out.

"Oh? You didn't know? Or perhaps you haven't noticed?" The Estreneo boss mockingly said as he looked at Tsuna with smugness playing on his eyes.

Tsuna felt anxious. Someone from his guardian sacrifice his self to protect them? How? How he didn't notice it? He then look at his guardians one by one only to stop when he had not spotted the familiar shy indigo eye of one of his mist guardian. And panic and fear rose to his system. "Chrome" He softly muttered as he realized what the Estreneo boss was saying.

"Oya? So you already noticed Vongola Decimo?"

"What's the problem Tsuna?/Is there any wrong Jyuudaime?/Are you okay to the extreme?" Yamamoto, Gokudera and Ryohei asked as they noticed the change in Tsuna's demeanor.

"C-Chrome… Chrome is" Tsuna stammered.

As soon as Mukuro heard Chrome's name, he whipped his head searching frantically for his vessel only to find nothing. "Nagi! Where are you Nagi?!" Mukuro shouted still searching for his other half. Fear and worry was written on his handsome features that was blemished by wound and exhaustion from the fight.

"Herbivore… What does this mean?" Kyoya growled not liking the situation.

"Hahaha! Yes yes.. It was your beloved female mist guardian who protected you all. She noticed our ambush attack and decided to deflect it. What a perceptive woman. Should I give her a credit for her heroic deed?" The Estreneo boss said to them as he laugh wickedly.

Tsuna's face wringed with fear. 'Please no. Please it's not what I'm thinking about.' Tsuna thought saying to himself that his intuition was wrong when unfortunately for him, is the most impossible thing to happen and it was proven by the statement the boss of Estreneo said.

"She protected you by shielding herself from the attack."

"Chrome… No"

Meanwhile somewhere in Japan…

"I wonder what happened to her and where did she come from.. Do you think she was abused?" Kikumaru voice out his thought which is the very same thought that plagued everyone in the team while looking at the door of the girl's room. After the girl fainted, they rushed her to the hospital. Now, the Seigaku regulars are talking to themselves as they wait for Coach Ryuuzaki and Tezuka who was talking with the doctor.

"But there's a possibility. It's either that girl was gone into an accident or… she was really abused by someone." Inui said as he counted the possible reasons.

"Abused? We don't know. Hopefully she's not though her wounds were quite suspicious." Fuji answered as he remembered the situation of the girl as they saw her earlier. And his brows furrowed. Those wounds although he didn't see it clearly he knows it was nasty and some where even deep.

"To do that thing to a girl, how cruel. Such person should be punished." Momoshiro said angrily as he crack his knuckles. If ever he will know who did that to her he will punch that person hard. Heck as if a punch is enough for what he did.

Kaido, though never get along with Momoshiro well, did not go against on what he had said. Person who hurt other should be punished. Hurting a girl is unforgivable. And with that thought, he released his trademark hiss.

"Blabbering can't do anything Momo-senpai." Ryoma suddenly spoke looking bored which earned a 'What did you say look' from Momoshiro. And before the lad could retort, Oishi beat him up.

"Maa maa.. Don't cause trouble now ne? Let's just wait for the result of her check up. And let's just hope she's alright." Oishi softly said with concern filled his eyes. For a young girl to experience those thing.. He really felt sorry for the girl.

On the other side, Coach Ryuuzaki together with Tezuka was talking with the doctor asking about the condition of the girl.

"It was a good thing that you brought her to the hospital hurriedly. If not, her wounds will start to bleed that will soon be the cause extensive blood loss. But I just want to know, how did she receive such wounds and injuries?" The doctor asked.

"We also like to know that. We just happened to see her in the court in that situation." Coach Ryuuzaki answered. "We really don't know what in the world happen to her."

"For now, she will be under our responsibility until she fully healed. Thank you for the hardwork. If you may excuse me." Tezuka bowed to the doctor and leave. The stoic captain proceeded to where his fellow teammates who were miraculously behaved and were patiently waiting. Seeing him approaching, Fuji called and asked him.

"What did the doctor say?"

"Her condition was fine now though the doctor find out that mostly of her wounds are cuts and burns. But he reassured that there will no more complications." Tezuka answered.

"That's good to hear." Oishi gave a sigh of relief and gave his usual smile. "The girl is now out of danger."

"So what are we waiting for? Let's go check her." Kikumaru butt in as he started walking towards the girl's room and the rest followed.

As they enter the room, the girl was currently sleeping peacefully. Her indigo hair was already out of its odd style and now was softly spread on her pillows. Her chest was rising and falling rhythmically as she breathes. And their eyes soften.

"What a beautiful girl." Oishi suddenly commented which earned a look from hbis teammates which made him blush. "W-well it's just uhm.." he tried to reason out but was cut off by Kikumaru.

"Oh Oishi's fall in love at first sight." Kikumaru teased to Oishi who was now blushing furiously.

"Saa you don't have to worry after all it seems that all of us think the same way too." Fuji said as he chuckled. Well who wouldn't be? The girl was indeed beautiful, mysteriously beautiful. He won't deny that. There's about her that will attract you just by looking at her. He can see that his teammates also felt it as he looked at them one by one. As his eyes stopped to Tezuka, his usual smile became wider. Despite of his usual stoic appearance, worry and concern filled his eyes. Well, that's understandable but there is something more that flickered on his eyes. Though it was just a fraction of second, Fuji's cerulean eyes managed to notice it. And he chuckled once more.

"Ah. Things will be more interesting now wasn't it? I can't wait for you to wake up princess."

Tenenenenen. It was done. A round of applause to myself. Hahaha I'm glad that I was able to write this chappie despite of having a writer's block (and of course to I'm glad to find my draft). So how was it? I've been thinking about pairing Chrome with the regulars. I like her to be paired with Tezuka or Fuji. I like Ryoma too. What do you think? Will it be alright? So far it still not finalized even I have already started it. I will be accepting any suggestion for who do you want to be Chrome's partner. Just review if you like. XD

I know it wasn't that great but please READ and REVIEW minna. I'll really appreciate that. Lovelots.
