In the previous chapter,

Tsuna considered the ramifications, both men seemed to be waiting for his decision, "We'll wait for them to make their move" He then turned to Dino, "Do they have any attachments to the city?"

"I came across one of their men, he ignored the question when I put it to him, the man must have gone back and reported the scene. The tension is high between the families, Tsuna"

Tsuna caught on the edge to Dino's tone, he was waiting for him to take on his side. The Vongola and the Chiavorone have had an unbreakable alliance, now Dino was asking him to honor it and declare the Chiavorone's enemy his, "It won't take long for them to act, when they do the Vongola family will reciprocate in kind"

Dino nodded appeased by the reply, his mood immediately lightened, "I must apologize" He said glancing at Kyoko, "I've interrupted your date"

Tsuna grinned at his friend just as the Chiavorone boss was opening the door. Gokudera made sure Dino had left the limousine before speaking, "Should I investigate on the matter?"

Tsuna nodded, "Be careful, and alert Chrome and tell Hibari I won't be meeting him today"

"Understood" Gokudera replied before reaching for his suitcase across the limousine and opening the door, "I shall see it done"

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate them, here's another chapter :3

Ways on how to win a woman's heart, chapter three: Regularly tell your partner how gorgeous she looks. Compliment her on her wonderful attributes.

Hibari Kyoya & Chrome Dokuro

He towered over her his expression a mask of irritation.

The beautiful woman before him was sprawled on the bed hugging a cream colored pillow against her chest. God help him, he thought he forgot to breathe. The enticing woman easily overshadowed the fully furnished room surrounding her. He shook his head, no. The temptress before him fit perfectly with the elegantly designed room. She looked exquisite.

His gaze slowly moved from her long amaranthine hair to her angelic face. He took his sweet time staring at her long eyelashes, her delicate nose then down to her promising lips. He shook his head. Damn he shouldn't be thinking like this. Yet he couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek, he felt wetness there. He drew in a sharp breath.

In just a few minutes his desire had turned to anger, hard uncontrollable anger. The thought of anyone hurting his little temptress drove him to the brink of insanity.

Chrome felt the hard calloused hands caress her face and instantly relaxed. For once she felt safe. A few more moments passed in silence and if not for her honed senses she would have thought he'd left the room. But she knew better. She felt his presence the minute he inserted the card and pulled the knob.

She waited for him to touch her.

He waited for his anger to subside.

She was the first to give in, pulling herself up from the soft covers and instinctively reaching out to touch his hand. He acted as though electricity had stung him. Chrome looked up to find the man scowling at her.

"I apologize for upsetting you, I shouldn't have done that" Chrome quickly added before turning away from his scrutinizing gaze. She tried to find an excuse and had suddenly found an interest in wearing her stilettos at the edge of the bed.

Hibari tried to calm himself, making sure his expression was nonchalant before Chrome chanced a glance at him. The woman didn't know her own appeal. If he hadn't pulled his hand back then, he would have taken advantage of her distress and passionately kissed her. He shook his head in denial. No, he would have done more.

The sight of her frustration made him smile inside, she looked disheveled from the mere task of putting on the damned shoes. He tried to be patient though. And that lasted for about a minute before he lost it and walked to stand directly in front of her.

Chrome froze feeling his hot glare. She felt like strangling the obtuse man. How could he even have the gall to put up a frown when it was obvious she was upset? Before she could think better of it, Hibari had knelt down in front of her and had taken her hands in his. He gently placed them on her lap and began working the laces, "You don't have to"

Chrome was taken aback by the response, "I'm sorry?"

"I said you don't have to apologize all the time" By the time he answered the statement he had already gotten the laces done and was now helping her stand up.

"Hibari, may I ask a question?"

He was thoroughly pleased she'd used his name instead of his title and in return had decided to accommodate her, "What is it?"

"How did you get in my hotel room?"

Chrome had to lean against the wall after that, for the grin she saw handsomely displaced on his hard face nearly swept her off the ground, "I have my ways"

And suddenly her day took on a course for the better.

Gokudera Hayato was sitting down on one of the golden laced couches in the lounge room. He glanced at his watch, time and time again his irritation growing by the minute. However his face was a mask of indifference or so the women openly admiring him thought. He learned how to control his emotions as he matured. Displays of emotions were signs of weaknesses, or so he thought.

"Storm Guardian"

Chrome Dokuro was chest to face with the Storm Guardian the minute he bound to his feet to turn around and face her. He plastered a kind smile on his face for her benefit though he doubted the woman even saw it. The top of her head barely reached his shoulders. Before he could sum up a proper greeting she grabbed his left hand and led him through the lounge to the lobby and out the revolving doors where Hibari stood waiting for them. A white limousine was parked not too far from where he stood.

"Hibari" Gokudera tilted his head in greeting before reaching for the door and opening it for Chrome. She rewarded him with a radiant smile before entering the limousine.

Gokudera didn't take long explaining the circumstances to Hibari Kyoya. The man knew Namimori like the back of his hand and he seemed pleased to accept the task. After Gokudera left the two guardians to their duty he sought out for the Vongola Familia manor situated in the outskirts of Namimori Town.

Chrome Dokuro wearily looked at the various shipping containers towering over them. She wasn't fond of tight spaces and in her defense she admitted the flaw. Chrome could sense the danger. The Storm Guardian had told them the details of the task. They were to find information about the Gesso Family. However Hibari had done more then gather information, he had traced the heinous villains to their lair.

"The Storm guardian wasn't mistaken," Chrome concluded after hearing the loud chatter of men at the old building precariously built on the port's edge. She was about to make her way to the crowd of men when Hibari's hand took hold on hers.

With a gentle tug Hibari was able to trap Chrome in his arms. He lovingly laid his chin on her head and sighed. Chrome was certain Hibari was oblivious to the telling action. She smiled.

"Promise me you'll stay by my side at all times"

"You insult me with your request"

Hibari Kyoya sighed aloud, "It wasn't a request Chrome it was an order"

"Fine" Chrome said to placate him. She abruptly turned around shoving him hard just in time for the arrow to shoot past between their bodies. Hibari's back slammed against the container behind him.

"Did you have to push me that hard?"

"Oh, yes" Chrome replied with a heart stopping smile, gods she's perfect

The said arrow had struck the ground a few meters from where they stood. It was lighted by a red flame, "Storm arrows" Hibari bit out

Chrome chanced a glance at Hibari before turning her back to him. She opened her palms to the sky as a staff began to form from the crimson rose petals surrounding her person. The staff shone a lustrous silver appearing to be transparent to the untrained eye, its tip bore three spikes, the middle larger in size then the rest but equally aciculate.

With a graceful yet firm strike, Chrome swung the staff in a horizontal motion slicing the air with a loud whistle. The staff's sharp tips seemed to have ripped through the thin streams of reality unleashing a horde of unearthly beings from their keep. They slithered and growled wasting little time in devouring their prey. The men screamed and screeched clawing out their own arms in terror, unbeknownst to them the fabrication within the simple illusion.

Chrome utilized the basics in illusions, it was best to stick as close as possible to the truth. In this case, Chrome merely showed the men a distorted image of their souls. The simpler the illusion the less energy consumed.

"Have you contacted the storm guardian?" Chrome asked abruptly turning around in her haste

Hibari looked at Chrome with a half smile before removing his earpiece and handing it to her. Chrome clicked on the receiver just in time to hear a deafening roar of "to the extreme!"

"Yes…?"

"Ah Chrome! You're with Hibari! Tell him that it ain't cool to hang up to the extreme!"

"Noted, now onto more important matters"

"Yeah! Me and Lambo are fending off the men, Sawada said to give you the go ahead"

"Fend off the men? In the Vongola Familia manor?" Chrome repeated turning to Hibari

"Yeah! They started storming the base a few hours ago, The Chiavorone boss had his hands full too"

"I see we'll try to get back as soon as we can"

"Nah, we're good! Just cleaning up the mess, Sawada's pissed though, but before he left he told me to give you the signa-"

Before the sun guardian could finish his sentence the reception was cut, "Get moving" Hibari ordered as he too brought out his weapon, "We're eliminating all traces of the enemy"

Through the span of a few minutes the two guardians were able to eradicate what was left of the Mafia base. The building was rigged to explode and the men were safely tied up and brought to the side, as ordered by the Vongola Decimo, and despised by the cloud guardian. Chrome was sitting on one of the taller containers as she watched the building engulfed in flames. The sight felt nostalgic, bringing up an unwanted memory.

However, before Chrome could contemplate on the past, the present pulled her back demanding attention.

After properly disposing what was left of the Mafia base, Hibari Kyoka set forth to do another task, this one demanded more skill. He found his target sitting precariously atop one of the shipping containers, watching the flames consume the building. Chrome looked lovely with her Amaranthine hair flowing from her shoulders down to her back and further down to her thin waist. The conservative suit she wore only complemented her figure. Hibari's self control was tested like never before.

Hibari didn't find difficulty in getting atop the container the problem was convincing the woman on top of the container to accept his offer.

Hibari contemplated for a few seconds before giving in to his escalating irritation and grabbing the woman by her shoulders. Chrome looked bewildered, Hibari was pleased.

He held her up and trapped her within a big embrace enclosing her soft elegant body with his. Slowly Hibari lowered his head making sure their faces were merely inches apart when he spoke, "You want to go to dinner with me, correct?"

Chrome was too busy admiring Hibari's features to process the question, or was it a statement? She didn't know for sure. All she comprehended was how his mesmerizing eyes shone a brilliant silver. How his well built body felt warm and comfortable. How his arms made her safe in an embrace. As she took her fill of his alluring features, she couldn't help but look at his hair. It just looked soft, too soft. Chrome began to contemplate whether it was possible for men to have soft hair. Her inquisitiveness got the best of her. She reached for a strand and toyed with it.

"Chrome?" Hibari asked desperately trying to hide his amusement. It was comforting to see that the attraction wasn't one sided.

"Hmmm?"

"Answer my question"

"Yes?"

"Is that your answer?"

"Is that the answer you want me to answer?"

"Yes"

"Then yes"

"Good" Hibrari reached for the hand Chrome used to toy with his hair and kissed it, "I'll pick you up at eight"

"Hmmm?"
