Me: Thanks for the reviews, favorites, and follows! I'm so happy! After all, this is my first fanfic ever! Thank you! And, yes, I know that the name 'Chrome' was given by Mukuro, but the whole thing will be explained eventually.

Bel: Shishishi, the prince is here. Don't ignore him.

Me: Oh, hi, Bel.

Bel: Shishishi, is this the second chapter? When does the prince appear?

Me: Soon, so disclaimers, please?

Bel: How about 'no'?

Me: *pouts* Uh, Fran?

Fran: *sighs exasperatedly, but still emotionless* She doesn't own anything except her Oc.

Me: Yay~, now, on to Chapter 2!

Chapter 2: My First Year

To be honest, I didn't love my parents in a true way. But, it was more like… it was an obligation. I just… didn't love them like that. I was really distant from my family, and the fact that my parents loved Gabrielle more may have added to that.

It wasn't that I was the bad kid, but I was always compared to her. Gabrielle this, Gabrielle that. To them, she was just so… so perfect. And, I wasn't.

But, I didn't hate her for that. She did nothing wrong to me, anyways. I just hated the fact that I was always compared to her – always.

Now, as Chrome, I felt happy that I was loved by a parent – truly loved.

Chrome's, well my, mom was Italian. My father was Japanese, but I never met him. According to mom, I wasn't supposed to exist actually. She and my dad were never married. They just had a one night stand or something.

My mom loved me a lot, even if I was an unwanted child. Perhaps it was because I really looked like her. I held no resemblance to my father, and I suppose that made her happy.

Also, I learned from my babysitter, a woman named Lucia, that my mom's name was Bianca.

"Chrome, dear, say 'Mama' for me, will you?" Mama said as she held me in her arms.

I wasn't a year old yet, but I had managed to start walking a few steps before getting rather tired. That was five months after I was born.

Right now, I was eleven months old – almost a year old. I could speak already, but I couldn't speak full sentences yet. It was more of phrases only.

"Mama." I repeated easily.

"Oh, you're so intelligent, Chrome! I'm sure they'll all love you!" Mama said as she kissed my forehead.

'They', meaning the people who were invited to my birthday party tomorrow. Mama had insisted on it, since she wanted to brag about her daughter.

I hated parties, actually. But, for her, I suppose… I'll agree to it… for now.

"Your job?" I asked her.

She seemed surprised for a moment before smiling at me. "I'm the boss of a catering company."

I nodded, even though my gut was telling me that there was a chance that she was lying. Stupid, right? Why would my – Chrome's – mother lie, after all?

"Well, Chrome, I have to go now. I'll leave you with Lucia again." Mama told me.

"Ok." I said.

When she had left, I grabbed a piece of paper and drew on it. As a baby, my drawings weren't as good as my drawings when I was a teenager, but it was understandable anyways.

"Chrome-cchi, I'm here again~" a voice called out from the doorway – Lucia's.

Lucia had mahogany brown hair and hazel eyes, and her personality was like Kise Ryota's from Kuroko no Basuke (even the adding of –cchi).

I nodded at her and continued drawing.

"What's that?" she asked me.

"I want," I said, showing her what I drew.

"Is that a gadget?" she asked, trying to figure out my (horrible) drawing.

I nodded. "3DS."

"Oh…" she said. "I'll go ask your mom if we can go shopping, ok?"

I nodded again.

Lucia brought out her cellphone and called my mom. "Hi, Bianca-cchi. Chrome-cchi wants to buy a 3DS. Yes, I'm serious. Of course! Wait, Pewdiepie? Ok, bye."

Turning to me, Lucia said with a smile, "Your mom approved, so we can buy your 3DS now! Oh, but we also have to download videos of Pewdiepie in a CD. Your mom thought that you'd like it."

Pewdiepie? Like? I love Pewdiepie!

I nodded and grinned, pointing at myself as I said, "Dress up."

Lucia nodded and we went to my room as she helped me change into a red t-shirt (that had a brofist on it), blue shorts, and black and red rubber shoes.

"Let's go, then, Chrome-cchi~"

At the mall…

Lucia led me to this shop that sold electronics. We went in and the first thing I saw was a game for Assassin's Creed. I squealed as I checked the price. I looked at Lucia who said, "If there's extra money, then ok, we'll buy it."

I grinned as I chose my 3DS. It was the gold one with the TriForce design – the one where you already have a pre-downloaded Legend of Zelda game. After paying for the console and its charger, there was (thankfully) some change that fit the Assassin's Creed game, so while Lucia paid for it, I roamed around in the store, searching for games I could buy in the future.

I was reaching out for the Resident Evil game when someone grabbed it at the same time I did – a boy with blonde hair with bangs that covered his eyes, a manic grin on his face, a tiara on top of his head, dressed in black, and wearing white boots.

Oh, wow. He reminds me of Bel.

Wait.

Bel. As in, Belphegor?

My eyes widened slightly as he looked at me curiously.

"Shishishi, if it isn't a peasant who plays the same games the prince does," he said.

Technically, a lot of people – err, peasants – play Resident Evil, too, you know.

I nodded.

"The prince wants to know how old you are," he said.

I held up one finger. "One."

"Shishishi, the prince thinks he will enjoy your company, peasant," he said. "After all, it's not every day that a baby peasant plays these games~"

I nodded. "Your name?"

He seemed a bit (a super tiny, miniscule, little bit) surprised that I could speak (did he really not notice that I was walking by myself? No? Ok.) "A less stupid baby, then? Shishishi, the prince's name is Belphegor. And the peasant's name is…?"

"Chrome," I replied.

"'Chrome'," Bel said. "Well, Chrome, the prince will take his leave now. Arrivederci."

"Bye," I told him as he started walking away.

"Chrome, we're leaving already." Lucia said as she walked towards me. Tilting her head to the side curiously, she asked, "Who were you talking to?"

"A very hairy being," I replied as she nodded in 'understanding'.

"It must've been interesting, huh?" she said. "Well, let's go now. It's time for dinner anyways."

"Pasta?"

"Yes, Chrome, pasta."

PAAASSSTTTAAAAA!

Me: I'm sorry if her meeting with Bel was really short. But, I didn't think they'd talk a lot since they only met after all, so yeah…

Also, I'm sorry for updating late. We have a presentation in school (dancing :P ), so I wasn't able to update. Sorry!

Read and REVIEW, please!
