A/N: So, I know some of you wanted me to do Mukuro in the very beginning. But if I kept the best first, you wouldn't read the other chapters! xD Here you go!

Ah, also. Please read and review! I need MORE. I feel as if I'm losing in this fanfiction race. Even though there really isn't one. My goal: Get more than 60 reviews. Ask me ANY QUESTION! I will answer ALL OF THEM. But they will be vague, because no spoilers E:3 (this emocon is a bunny. I made it my self. You can read it left to right or right to left.)


It was quite misty that day. You couldn't even see the sun unless you squinted really hard. Chrome woke up that morning and quickly showered and wore her uniform without a word. Ken and Chikusa were already watching T.V. and snacking on chips. Rather it was Ken doing all the snacking and Chikusa just standing on the wall.

"Good morning, Ken. Chikusa."

"You sleep too much." Ken grunted and check the time on the wall. It seemed that they still had half-an hour left before going to school.

"Good morning, Chrome", replied Chikusa. He was the only one to be polite to Chrome, and never replies back to Ken if he didn't use her name properly. He was quite out of it today, and waited before asking.

"Are you having another date this week…?"

Ken suddenly stopped eating, and got up quietly making his way towards the door. Then at that moment, someone knocked on the door of their 'living room'. Startled, they all got into their battle positions. They never expected visitors this early in the morning, heck they never expected visitors. Who would come here to this rundown amusement part, anyways? Except those pesky Vongola people.

Then, the door creaked slowly open, as if the visitor knew that they would be there. The mist surrounded them, which made they think that they knew who it was.

Sure enough, it was Mukuro. In the flesh, and smirking as if he had won big. He casually replied that he was released from Vindice prison. And then as quick as he arrived, he collapsed on the cold gray floor.

All three of them shouted for his name and lunged towards the fallen teenager.


After much conversing, they decided to take Mukuro to the hospital. They were quite hesitant. As much as they hated being in the public, they had no choice. Their beloved leader was hurt, and there were no other options. The only way to transport Mukuro was to carry him on the back of someone. Since Ken was the strongest there, he volunteered and gently put his leader on his back.

It was agonizing. Every step they made towards the hospital, Mukuro kept getting weaker and weaker. Ken was especially panicked. He felt the heat fading away from Mukuro as if it was like a candle being burned till it melted away. He just had to carry Mukuro to help, no matter what got into his way. Ironically, the Vongola gang appeared much to the annoyance of Ken.

"W-What happened?" Tsuna yelled as he came running over in distress. One of his guardians were hurt, even if it was Mukuro.

"He just collapsed. We're going to the hospital."

"Shouldn't you take him to Dr. Shimal?" Gokudera asked, thinking that it was an obvious answer.

"…" Mukuro breathed a painful gasp and opened his eyes slightly.

"How..embarressing. Being carried like this. The silver head is right. We should be going to Dr. Shimal. He's best for mafia health related issues." Another twitch in his eye occurred, with him falling backwards from Ken's back.

Chrome quickly caught him with tears in her eyes, and silently pleaded Tsuna to take him to Dr. Shimal as quickly as he could. Taken back by Chrome's tears, every one of the guardians tried to help. They didn't know why they were so keen to help Mukuro of all people, but noticed sadly, that Chrome cared very much about Mukuro. More than anyone else, as a matter of fact.


"I don't treat men." Dr. Shimal retorted when they burst through his clinic's door. However, after taking a closer look at Mukuro, he showed to be worried.

"He's not going to make it if I don't get him IV right away! Put him in one of those beds while I hook up the treatment machine!"

Ken wasted no time and gently laid Mukuro by the side of the bed. They were all worried. Chikusa started pacing, breaking out of his usual calm personality. Ken started muttering to himself and buried his face in his hands. Chrome, was by far, taking the worst.

"H-He's going to be okay." Tsuna tried to reassure her, when she didn't reply the other boys tried to cheer her up.

"A-Atleast it wasn't THAT serious right? He just needed some food and rest." The usual cheery Ryohei was stumped. Being optimistic even in times like these, felt so wrong and rude to the worried girl.

"…Thanks."

It was as if life had faded away from her eyes. It was dark, as if all hope was lost. She quietly got up, and slowly moved towards the door. Yamamoto started to stop her, but something stopped him. It was Reborn.

"Kid!" Yamamoto shouted out in surprise. (Now that I look at this, I accidently thought that he was calling after Chrome. I chuckled at the thought of Yamamoto calling someone 'Baby', so I changed it to kid)

"Don't go after her. She needs some time alone."

Tsuna wouldn't hear any of it and questioned why they should let Chrome be alone when she's obviously hurt.

"Think about it. Mukuro was the one who broke her free of her loneliness. The one to save her, and now HE's the one in the hospital bed now. Knowing that she can't do anything to help him like he did to her, she must be pretty down. Let her think things over." Reborn seemed harsh, but this was the truth. The rest of the guardians stayed silent. Gokudera felt pained, even the 10th wasn't able to talk cheer Rokudo up.


Chrome slowly made her way towards a bench that was located outside. One word kept popping into her head. How. How can she save Mukuro? Was he even going to be back to his normal self after this? Worse, what if he forgets she even existed?

"This isn't helping!" She cried out in anguish. She knew herself that she was weak. Powerless. Stupid. Ignorant. Ugly. Shy. With every word to describe what she thinks of herself, she sunk deeper and deeper into depression.

"Nagi…"

A voice whispered quietly in her head. She snapped out of her depression and thought how the voice sounded so familiar. Then it hit her. It was Mukuro!

"M-Mukuro?"

"My dear Nagi, I'm alright. Don't beat yourself…"

"I'm not able to do anything while you are lying in that bed. That horrible white bed…"

"Will you feel better if I told you that your next date was with me?"

"W-What?"

Many feelings ran through her at that line. Excitement, uneasiness, curiosity, and happiness soared through her entire being like a tornado.

She slowly stood up from her bench and walked towards the clinic again. Gathering her courage, she breathed deeply and opened the door. The people inside looked up suddenly, waiting to see if it was Chrome. They breathed out a sigh of relief. They had thought, if worst comes to shove, that she had disappeared or suicded.

"C-Chrome!" Yamamoto called out, anxious to find out how she was doing.

"I'm alright." She bowed deeply and apologized for her sorry behavior.

The guardians all smiled, happy that she wasn't down anymore. It was that moment that Dr. Shimal calmly walked out of the patient's room and spoke.

"Mukuro is doing fine. He just needs to spend one more night here, and he'll be as healthy as Ryohei-kun over there."


Everybody went home feeling better than when the day started. Reborn, surprisingly, went towards Namimori Middle School and went to talk to a cloudy man.

"Hibari(kun?), good news. Mukuro didn't die."

"Hmph, kid, I don't care."

"I look forward to your date with Chrome soon."


Chrome felt so joyous, she didn't even seem to be bothered when Ken started trashing her again. She just smiled and hummed, ready to do any to their bidding. It seemed as if the whole world was going with Chrome's pace. It was beautiful, yet unique through Chrome's eyes.

"I'm truly blessed."

"What was that?" Chikusa asked, after Chrome muttered.

"Nothing!" Laughing out loud, much to the shock of Chikusa and Ken, she burst out the room of their building.

She was just bursting with so much energy, that she felt as if she was a totally different person. No wait, she was like a completely different person. That's when she noticed that there were strange thoughts in her head.

"Finally! I'm out!"

"Who are you?" Chrome called out in her mind. The only person allowed in there was Mukuro. And he was recuperating in a hospital clinic bed.

"I'm Nagi."

"But, I'm Nagi."

"No, I'm the Nagi before all the bad things happened. Before the accident."

"…What did you mean you were out?"

"You sealed me away. Deep inside your mind. Now, since you felt a little more happy than usual, I could burst out of that jail you kept me away from!"

"What does this mean?"

"I'm getting my own form!"

Chrome finally snapped out of her inner conversation and looked around puzzled. She was sleeping in her gray corner of her 'house'. Wasn't she just outside a moment ago?

"Don't scare us like that. Collapsing." Ken scoffed while trying (but failing) not to look as if he was concerned at all about her well-being.

Just what was that conversation about?


Somewhere else in Namimori, a girl with a pineapple haircut snickered to herself. The only thing going through her mind was the feeling of freedom.

"Let's have some fun!"

She used realistic illusions on her hair to make it grow longer. Then she dyed it black and got new clothes to match her new outside look. Nothing says, "Hey, I'm totally awesome", like casual clothes. A black mini-jacket with a white t-shirt decorated with black and white lines and dark blue jeans and black combat boots to complete the look.

Another thing to make this more interesting is enrolling into a school. What better school to attend than Namimori Middle School?


The next Monday, a transfer student was all the talk of the students in Namimori Middle School. Apparently, as rumors go, she was a model that was to debut in two more years. Also, her attitude earned her the nickname of "Playful Queen" at her old school. There were more absurd ones, but let's get back to the story.

"Well everyone, say hello to your new classmate. Nagi Dokuro."

"?" Tsuna looked closely at the girl standing in the front of the room. Why did she look so uncannily like Chrome, with the same last name?

"Hello, dear classmates." Nagi remarked with a slight scoff as she talked. As if she was on a totally different level than the ones before her. All the boys (excluding Yamamoto, Gokudera, and Tsuna) instantly fell in love with her, and all the girls suddenly hating her.

When home room ended, Tsuna just had to talk to her. Tons of questions popped into his head and as he finally reached towards her from the midst of the huge crowd of males surrounding her, he reached out his hand to touch her shoulder. Nagi looked over and waited for him to talk with a look of uncertainty faint on her face.

"A-Are you Chrome?"
"What? No, I'm not her. I'm Nagi." She quickly flipped her head to the opposite direction and hastily walked towards her next class. Why did Tsuna of all people, have to be in her class? Her fun filled life at school isn't going great. And if he lets it slip to Chrome and worse, Mukuro, then she's going to be sealed back up again. Curses.


"Achoo!"

"Chrome?"

"It's nothing, Ken. Chikusa. I must've gotten a cold…"


A/N: So that's it! My Mukuro chapter Part I. This chapter turned out to be more. So there's gonna be a part two. Look forward to it!

Hope you'll like it. Oh by the way, when you read "every one of the guardians" (somewhere up there) this OF COURSE doesn't apply to Lambo or Hibari. I guess that was kind of obvious. Oh, and for the people who's asking if Lambo is going to participate, then yes. He is. With special circumstances of course. If I PMed you saying no, then I take that back.

And, I'm thinking of adding more characters for Chrome to date. Tell me two people you want. Only :P

CHOOSE CAREFULLY D:

The poll will be available on my profile. If you look at the very top of my profile, there should be a blue (dunno which color) band with a link and a poll that you can choose two. Choose wisely :3

Before I completely go, I'm adding another announcement. If I get up to 40 reviews (limit to 2 per person), I will add bonus content of _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ _. Guess who~
