Author's Note: To recap on the stuff Fran says, all the information should be in chapter 14. Enjoy…

As I sit in the corner of the kitchen, away from everyone else, Giannini comes in looking for me apparently.

"Ah, some one was looking for you from the Varia," he explains.

I look blankly at Giannini. "There's someone from the Varia who wants to talk with me?" I ask, looking at the short man. "Impossible."

"Well, there was a green-haired male who was looking for you. He says that he trains under Mukuro, Rokudo," he explains.

"Hm, that's odd," I start. "Ah, thank you. Could you bring me there please?"

Giannini leads me into the video conference room and closes the door. There on the large screen, is a male wearing a large frog hat. "Kasumi-senpai, you look younger and more ignorant," he says with an oddly monotone voice.

"…Hm, okay then," I reply, looking at him blankly. "…Exactly who are you?"

"Oh, I guess you didn't change that much. Your older-self doesn't care either." he says. Then he starts, "Kasumi-senpai, how could you forget me? I'm Fran."

"Shishishishi, who are you talking to?" asks a blonde male that pops up suddenly.

"I'm talking to my other senpai that's far better than you. Her future-self doesn't throw knives at my head," says Fran. I laugh at this.

"The prince thinks that he'll go bother the Strategy Captain now," says the blonde apparently bored, walking off.

"Anyways, now that the Fallen Prince is gone, we should regroup soon. If you're wonder about who 'we' is, then look at the pictures on your desk. Look for the one that makes sense. Then take out the purple one. That's 'we'. Then look at the other picture on your desk and look at the place. That's were. To get to the place, I'll come get you in a little while. Get ready okay?" says Fran.

I reply quickly, "Okay, got it."

"Ah, good. I was worried that you would be really stupid because you're younger," he says.

"…that's nice," I reply.

"Well, now that I have accomplished the mission, I'm going to leave. Bye, Kasumi-senpai," he says. Then the connection is cut. I walk out and close the door behind me.


As I sit in my room trying to think clearly, suddenly the sound of yelling shatters my concentration. I cringe and my train of thought is lost. I walk out of the room and open the door to where the noise is coming from. I look at the ground quickly as the adult boxer and the adult Hibari turn to me. I bow quickly. "S-Sorry for the intrusion… There was a lot of noise suddenly," I explain. I catch a glimpse of a sake bottle and look to the side. "I'll be on my way now..."

As I return to my room, Bianchi comes running over. "It's Chrome. Something's happening. Her internal organs seem to be damaged. Do you have any idea what's happening?!" she exclaims.

My eyes widen. "T-There's no way… The only way that could happen would be…! Let's go quickly. I can help for a little while." I start to sprint as fast as I can. This isn't good. What's Mukuro-sama doing?


"Chrome!" shouts Sawada as he bursts into the room. I gasp as my concentration falters and the illusionary organs go away. Dokuro starts to cough. I cringe.

I look at them from the corner of the room. "Sawada-san… Arcobaleno… I can't… Never mind…" I mutter as I close my eyes again. I have to hold up… I can't let her die.

"What's wrong, Bianchi?"

"It's no good…There's nothing I can do!" replies Bianchi.

"No way…Why?" asks Sawada as he runs over to the bedside.

Giannini explains, "The medical equipment and medicine here are top rate. But this is…"

"Her organs have disappeared!" shouts Bianchi.

As I open my eyes again, I cover my right eye with my hand. "I'm trying to keep the organs stable, but they're disappearing too fast. To make matters worse, I don't have too much power."

The Arcobaleno jumps onto the bed. "Chrome's organs are created from Mukuro's illusions. Now, that it's impossible to recreate…That means… What happened to Mukuro? Kasumi, do you have any idea?"

"No…None whatsoever," I reply.

"Didn't Mukuro win the fight at Kokuyo Land against the Millefiore last time?" asks Sawada.

"Mukuro didn't appear there in the flesh then. He appeared through Chrome from somewhere else to fight. However, it seems that he's taken heavy damage this time," explains the Arcobaleno.

"No way… How could this have happened?" asks Sawada.

"Sama…Mukuro...sama…" mutters Dokuro.

"Hang in there Chrome! Don't die!" shouts Sawada.

"Boss…"

"That's right! It's me, hang in there!"

"It's warm…Boss..." she mutters.

"Dokuro! Try to make your own organs. I can't hold it up for too long!" I shout.

"Kasumi…Mukuro-sama…" she starts.

"What happened to Mukuro?" asks Sawada. Then she starts to cough again. "Chrome! Sato-san, what's happening!"

"I can't keep this up for much longer! Her organs keep disappearing!" I shout. She starts to gasp for air again. "No! What's happening?!"

"Chrome!" shouts Sawada.

"You're in my way," says Hibari suddenly as he pushes Sawada to the floor.

Sawada exclaims, "Hibari-san!"

He ignores Sawada and walks over to Dokuro. "It'd be troublesome if you died."

Kusakabe walks over to Sawada. "Sawada-san, let's wait outside. Ah, you too Sato-san."

I shake my head. "You don't want her to die right? I'm the one providing her organs right now." I continue to cover my right eye with my hand.

"You must be tired by now. She can handle it herself," replies Hibari.

"I'm sorry Hibari-san, but I won't leave. I can't just let go of the illusions..." I mutter.

He sighs. "…Fine, you can stay."

I smile a bit. "Thank you…"

He looks away. "Take away your illusion now. She's going to make her own." I start to frown.


I sit quietly as I listen to the others debate about what happened to Mukuro. I stare at the table. "Sato, you seem really, really quiet…"

"Yeah…I'm a bit fatigued…" I mutter. "Holding up that many illusions for such a long period of time…"

"However, no matter how we look at it, it's impossible for Chrome to be ready for battle within 5 days," says the Arcobaleno.

"That's crippling…"

"I'll fill in then. I'm an illusionist too," I say.

The woman, Lal Mirch stands up. "No, it's okay. I'll fill in for Chrome."

"How could we make you do that? You're even having a hard time sitting still at the moment," comments the Arcobaleno. "As for you, Kasumi, you couldn't even keep up organs for a little while. How can you expect to be able to fight?"

"That's because I had to use the first path…" I mutter quietly.

"So that's why you were covering your right eye," comments Reborn. I nod. I continue to look at the table as I receive many stares. I stand up. "…I'm going. Please inform me of your decision later," I say finally.

"S-Sato-san! Where are you going?" asks Sawada.

"I'm going to continue to try and help Dokuro. Her organs aren't complete. That'll serve as my practice," I explain as I slip on a mist ring. "See you."
