Sorry…I've been busy and haven't had time to load anything up ¬¬'…well I hope you all enjoy this next chapter XD

Glo Xinia, it's obvious he wanted to rape Chrome, so to make the chapter a bit more dramatic…O.O

Anyway this is slightly AU…I think

The next day that entire night felt like a dream. I wasn't too sure if it was real or not.

"Oh it was real my cute chrome"

"Mukuro-sama…" I blushed remembering the night. How passionate it was, how happy I had felt. Then I began to think…Mukuro-sama was my master. This shouldn't be happening. I began to feel a slow churning feeling in my stomach, we shouldn't be together.

What if he was only doing it because he could sense I liked it?

Did he really love me? I brushed the thought out of my head. As if it really mattered, I had already told him I would follow him and believe what he told me.

It's possible it was all part of his plot to keep me wrapped around his little finger; he already knew I would do anything for him. I pulled my hands to my chest and sat down on the cold hard floor at Kokuyo (By this time we had moved to Kokuyo).

"Hey Girl…what're waiting for?" Ken looked at me. I just stared back, "Go to the shop and pick up some food". He threw some money at me. Not much, just enough for what we needed. I knew the things he wanted. Junk food, mostly crisps…

As I walked along the road I saw a small boy walking along the opposite side with a young toddler in a hat and two other boys. I recognised him. He was going to be my boss.

Mukuro-sama had told me about him and showed me what he looked like…I couldn't let him see me yet, I had to wait.

I quickly dodged behind a corner. If he found out I worked for Mukuro-sama I would never become his mist guardian and that's what I needed most.

"Ehh Reborn, who is our mist guardian anyway?" Boss asked the infant sat on his shoulder.

"You'll find out soon enough." The child was right…the mist battle with the varia was coming up soon, infact during the next few days, I had been training hard every day for it.

When they had passed I quickly slipped into the shop and bought the little we required for the next few days.

Two days later I was getting ready for the mist battle, I trained hard with Mukuro-sama.

"You're getting better Chrome" He complimented me…but I knew I was still not good enough to beat the arcobaleno, and when the time came to fight I did fall and Mukuro-sama had to save me…

I tried really hard but was beaten almost instantly. Mukuro-sama took over. The whole time he was there though he was also with me in our world, stroking my head and telling me things were okay. I was crying.

"But I failed you Mukuro-sama…" I cried. He held me to his chest and stroked my hair.

"You did really well, the arcobaleno are strong Chrome" He told me not to worry about it but I couldn't help it. I felt as though his words were just out of kindness and pity.

"You gave me another life and trained me, this was the outcome. I'm just not good enough, you should probably give up on me"

"Don't say that...it was my own choice because I knew you would make a brilliant illusionist; and I'm usually right in these sorts of things" he lifted my chin up looking into my one good eye; it was swollen and blotchy red along the eyelid, inside it remained a vibrant purple.

"Now stop this crying Chrome, you have no need to cry" I did as he said and slowly stopped crying. He hugged me and said again not to worry. I let all thought of that slip my mind as he kissed me.

The kiss was longer than last time; it took all my worries away. It was so passionate, as if we had just made love again. I blushed and we broke in the end. I hugged him this time and he smiled that special smile that was only for me. Not the crazy smirk or foreboding look he gave to others. This smile was the other side of his personality that he only showed to me and on occasion Ken and Chikusa. I began to shut my eyes on that world.

I opened them again and woke up in the gym. The match was over and Mukuro-sama had won. Ken and Chikusa had left and everyone was looking at me. I blushed, acting completely differently from how I did before when I was trying to make a good impression. I stood up, bowed and walked out leaving everyone else there. I was crying all the way home, no matter what he said, I had failed.

I tried to close him off again a few nights later but in the end I surrendered to the soft sound of his voice. It was so soothing and in the end I drifted off to sleep and met him again. I hugged him like before and he held me in his grasp tightly, like he didn't want to let me go.

"Chrome, I fear we may be parting ways soon."

"What? B-but Mukuro-sama."

"Don't worry, it will not be forever."

I nodded and tried to break the embrace but he held me for longer. He was upset about this too. We stayed like that for a long while. Almost making sure each other was still there.

I tilted my head slightly to his. His eyes were closed, possibly trying to keep back tears. What was it that he was so scared of?

When I awoke in the morning, I understood.

It was around noon, I didn't feel much happening, just smoke gathering around my body. Then I was gone, hurtling through time like a rapid torpedo.

I arrived at the same place as I left. Kokuyo.

It seemed different though. I called out for Ken and Chikusa, they didn't reply. I was on my own, wait; I was never on my own. Mukuro-sama was always with me.

I reached out into my mind and called him but he didn't reply. I really was on my own.

What had happened? Was this the separation Mukuro-sama spoke of?

There was a load banging on the door, as it was broken down. A man in a white uniform and badly cut red hair was stood by the hinges. He smirked and began to walk towards me.

I backed away; there was an aura around this man I did not like. He backed me up against a wall and looked at me closely.

"So? You're Chrome-Chan?"

"Eh?"

The man looked scary, I didn't like him and I tried to move away but he blocked me.

"Don't be scared, my name is Glo Xinia." He put his hand on my leg and started to feel up my skirt. I was terrified by this point and hit him. I slapped him across the head and fell back. Quickly I found my trident in my bag.

By the time Glo Xinia had stood back up I had composed myself with the weapon and was ready to fight. I came at me again and I swung it to my right, closing hitting his glasses off and smashing them on the floor. He picked them up and put them back on, they were completely broken though.

I took that chance and started to run to another door, when h attacked me with a large wave and a white owl. The owl had miraculously appeared out of a small box. It didn't seem like an illusion and this confused me even more. I managed to make it through the small door slowly, I could not believe how slow I was going, and it was almost like the wave had slowed me down.

Just before I made it to the door I was pinned down. My heart was racing, for some reason it seemed hard just staying awake. Lying down I just wanted to go to sleep. But that man was on top of me.

He was holding me down with such a strong force, I screamed. He was not at all gentle or nice to me like Mukuro-sama was. I realised what was happening then…I was about to get raped.

The flames inside me began to get worse, ofcourse I didn't know that was the cause of my sudden drowsiness then. I quickly gave in. I began feeling up my leg again, it was horrible and I didn't want it to happen. But I couldn't stop it.

Glo Xinia pulled at my top until he took it off and began to grope me. It hurt and I hated this feeling of being able to do nothing. I felt no connection to Mukuro-sama at all, that hurt me the most.

The rapist muttered something about killing Mukuro-sama and then I began to feel lifeless myself. If he wasn't alive I didn't care anymore…nothing mattered if he was dead.

I heard a voice in my head then, telling me to fight back. I felt strength build up in me from nowhere and I managed to kick him off me. I pulled my top back on quickly then tried to escape through some doors. Mukuro-sama's voice could be heard by now.

"Chrome go up the stairs now."

I sauntered up them, swaying as I went. The rain flames still had a hold over me.

But now I knew Mukuro-sama was alive, I would never let that rapist touch me. Mukuro-sama spoke to me; together we made an illusion, of Kokuyo.

Together we managed to win against Glo Xinia, and Mukuro-sama possessed his rain owl. I blanked out at this point, though I heard from the others later I had been carried back by the sun guardian.
