A day had passed since Nagi had left. The mood wasn't that cheerful that Monday morning. But all it took for it to be happy again was one line from a certain special mafia infant. Reborn!

"You're going on another date." Reborn boldly stated to Chrome. She was speechless. When she was called by Reborn to go up to the roof, she thought it was going to be something more important than this.

"W-What? But..I just.."

"Yes, you lost your sister. But everyone lost a friend too. I think it's time for you to be more cheerful. Capiche?"

"Yes…I think."


"Tsuna! I'm TOTALLY FIRED UP!" Ryohei screamed after school in Tsuna's house that afternoon. Tsuna looked up curious as to why he was, even though Ryohei was usually fired up.

"Why, big brother?"

"It's my turn for a date with Chrome!" He shouted grinning. He didn't notice when Tsuna's face faltered a little but he had recovered instantly.

"T-That's great, onii-chan! So, where are you taking her?" Tsuna asked to be polite, even though he didn't want to heard it anymore. It felt weird, he felt weird.

"Well I'm going to take her to-"


Ryohei was standing in outside of Chrome's "house" fixing his shirt. He wondered to himself if he looked okay at all. Lussuria told him that he looked just fine. But this was his first date after all, even if he was hyped up about it.

Looking at himself, he made a mental checklist. Dark skinny jeans with white sneakers? Check. Black jacket with hoodie over a striped shirt? Check. Sunglasses against the glare of the sun? Check. Everything was perfect.

After hearing the door click open, Ryohei turned around to find his mouth agape in shock. Chrome was looking very punky that night. Light short shorts over black stockings and black converse matched her mini white trenchcoat covering her white "Eminem" t-shirt. They both looked very dashing.

"Are you ready to go? It's going to be 'extreme'!" Ryohei exclaimed after regaining his composure.

Chrome nodded eagerly. All of her past dates showed her great places, except Mukuro who hadn't gone on one with her yet. His reason was that he was still mourning that Nagi had left him for a year. It seemed silly, but hey. This was Mukuro they were talking about.

They got inside the waiting taxi and braced themselves for the one-hour ride. Chrome sat next to Ryohei in the awkward silence. What could they POSSIBLY talk about? They were polar OPPOSITES! Their likes, dislikes, anything in between was completely different.

Ryohei noticed the tension and put one of his ear buds of his iPod into her ear. He pressed play and all of their favorite bands and singers were playing. ROOKiEZ is PUNK'D, SID, Orange Range, the GazettE, and UVERworld kept them in comfortable silence for the trip.

The taxi slowed down to a stop outside a building with flashing lights. The parking lot was packed with cars and many teenagers walked to the building chattering away furiously.

"Come on. Stay close or we'll get separated", cautioned Ryohei. He suddenly grabbed Chrome's hand as it seemed to drift apart. Chrome blushed at the contact. The only person who had grabbed her hand was Tsuna, unless she didn't recognize it if others did too.

The hall was packed full of people and snack vendors. The smell of popcorn, hotdogs, and corndogs filled the air. It seemed like such a great experience to Chrome. She felt as if she was learning more than just getting close to the guardians.

Ryohei and Chrome then entered a dimly lit room filled with cushioned seats. Something was in the middle of the room, but Chrome couldn't make it out with such bad lighting. At last she gave up and proceeded to sit next to Ryohei. After a couple minutes of waiting, the crowd filled in the empty seats. At last the whole entire room was filled.

With a sudden flash, the lights lit up. As Chrome's eyes adjusted, she noticed that Ryohei was sitting up in anticipation. That made her even more curious. Then she noticed what was the curious object that was in the middle of the room. It was surprisingly a boxing ring!

"Ah! Is this.."

"Yup! It's a boxing match, to the most EXTREME!"

With that statement, the bell dinged and out came the fighters. Ryohei then screamed out, "GO RYO! YOU CAN DO IT! IT'S FOR OUR CLUB!"

"Oh! So he's from your club at school, Ryohei-san?" Chrome inquired, she hadn't known this. Perhaps he wanted to cheer for his underclassman with her. If that's so, then she needs to give it her all.

So she screamed out encouragement with as much energy as Ryohei which surprised him a bit. Then noticing what she was trying to do, he laughed and cheered his member on. The fight was hard, as the opponent was quite formidable.

Left hooks, right hooks, dodges, quick foot movements…Chrome watched in wonder. It was all quite fascinating for some reason. Maybe it was the thought that a whole entire new world of boxing was being introduced right in front of her eyes.

Ryohei glanced at her, scared that she might've been bored or scared of the fighting, but all he saw was amazement in her eyes. He smiled, finally a girl who understood his love for boxing. You can't find another girl like her anywhere. Ah, what was he thinking? This was just a forced date for Chrome, and she probably didn't even want to come.

Finally the match was over and Chrome was bubbling with happiness. She kept on asking what the moves were from Ryohei to the point that she knew every single move and term there was to know in the boxing world.

He smiled, maybe this wasn't such a bad idea for a date after all.


"And that's that." Ryohei said to her sister who was attending a boarding school. Mikuno was on the other side of the phone and smiled a little. She wasn't much of a happy-go-lucky person, but she was glad that her brother was doing fine. (A/N: Yes yes, it's an OC sister. WHO CARES, like I said Kyoko and Haru don't exist. If I accidentally mentioned them in this fan fic, replace it with Mikuno. Yippie.)

"You're first date. It went well! So, do you have any..you know..special feelings?"

"W-W-What?" Ryohei stuttered into the phone, almost dropping it. He fumbled with the receiver and said frantically into the device.

"I…Maybe?"
