Sorry again for the late update. I got a little busy with my review classes for entrance exams. Well anyway, here's the next chapter

THOUGHTS

When Kyoya reached his house, he went straight to his room and locked his door, isolating himself from the world. He was really tired maybe because of what he just found out at the hospital or maybe because before he got home, he picked a fight with some delinquents who were destroying Namimori's peace (Of course that was just an excuse. He really just needed someone he can let out his anger on.) or maybe because of both. Kyoya unbuttoned a few buttons in his shirt and lay down in his soft bed, trying to get some sleep but too bad he can't. So many thoughts are just in his mind that it's giving him another head ache and it's making him difficult to fall asleep. He's also full of mixed emotions right now, mainly anger, annoyance, irritation, the usual feelings when you just remembered your memories and you just realized that the people around you hid those memories from you which adds to his reasons why he can't sleep. As he lay in his bed, he kept thinking of how angry he is that Dino kept his real memories from him and how stupid he was for only knowing it now.

'Come to think of it, it wasn't only that guy who lied to me. Tsunayoshi Sawada, *he lied to me as well way back when I was at the hospital*. And I'm sure that the other guardians were in on it as well if they didn't even have the guts to tell me the truth all this time.'

Thinking about these things only made Kyoya more irritated and mad.

'I don't understand why the hell did they lie about my true memories! What's the reason for it!? Is the reason too complicated that they had to keep my memories from me?! Why!?' He balled his hand into a fist and smacked the pillow beside him. He tried to calm himself down by distracting himself. Maybe reading a book or maybe putting up another fight or something. anything.

It was about two in the morning. Kyoya was still awake. He still couldn't fall asleep even when he did all the things he could think of to avoid thinking about his problems but no matter what he did, he still can't sleep and since he can't think of anything to do to distract him anymore, many thoughts are starting to run in his mind again.

'Hmph! I guess I finally understood what that Mukuro Rokudo was saying…Illusions…can really be able to hide or create things to trick people. Just like the illusion that that guy and the others made to trick me into believing a false memory. Illusions, which can also be in words and actions…to simply put it, illusions…are lies'

Those aren't the only things that came into Kyoya's mind. His past, specifically the time before the accident and before the fight with Dino was also going through his mind. His memories about that time, although it happened a long time ago, seemed to still be fresh to him. After all, he just remembered all of his memories again a moment ago. Kyoya could still remember it like it just happened yesterday. That incident…was the real reason why he and Dino had a fight that led him to the accident. Kyoya closed his eyes and tried to recall what happened that time….

It was September 27, about 5:30 in the afternoon. Kyoya was still at the school, in the Disciplinary Committee room, sitting in his chair doing some paperwork. Also, he was waiting for Dino to pick him up from school. Dino was away at Italy so it's been a while since Dino and Kyoya have seen each other that's why Dino insisted that he'd go straight to Kyoya's school and see him as soon as his plane arrives. While Kyoya was checking and approving some forms, he felt the presence of a stranger.

"Who's there?" he called out.

"Ehh? You found me out already? How boring. And I was really quiet so that you wouldn't notice me. I thought I could have surprised you." The stranger said.

"Why the hell are you here, Mukuro Rokudo?"

"I just wanted to come and visit" Mukuro said with his cool smile

"If that's why you came then how about we continue the unfinished fight we had" Kyoya said, holding out his tonfas.

"I don't think so. I'm not here to fight you…"

Mukuro slowly walked closer until he was in front of Kyoya's desk. Then, he placed his hands on the desk and bent over so that his face was close to Kyoya's.

"I came here…to talk to you." Mukuro said.

Kyoya got a bit surprised by Mukuro's actions. He backed up his chair and stood up, holding his paperwork and went to the drawers located at the left side of the room.

"I'm busy. I don't have time for useless conversations so can you leave now?"

"Hm? But this isn't useless…this is about you and the Cavallone Boss, Dino…"

Kyoya looked at Mukuro. "What about us?"

Mukuro started to look a bit serious and his eyes looked straight at Kyoya's eyes. "Why don't you…leave Dino." He said.

Kyoya also looked at Mukuro, trying to figure out what game he's trying to pull again.

"…And why would I do that?" Kyoya said after a few seconds of silence.

"Think about it, he rarely comes to Japan because he's so busy with his work in Italy, that's why you two don't see each other often. If you ask me, I think he's just playing with you. He's not really that serio-"

"I don't need your opinion on that matter so mind your own business." Kyoya said coldly.

"I'm just saying that there is someone better for you than him."

"Better for me?"

Just then, Mukuro pushed Kyoya against the wall and placed both his hands on the wall, looking like he was cornering Kyoya.

"Yes, someone…like me"

"Hey! What do you think you're doing and what are you talking about!?" Kyoya shouted.

"You should be able to realize by now, that I like you for a while now. It's better if you choose me. You're relationship with that guy won't last anyway."

Kyoya tried to take out his tonfas so that he could hit the life out of the talkative nuisance in front of him but before he could, Mukuro already grabbed his hand tightly so that he won't be able to move his hand.

"It's no use trying to hide it. Deep down, you know that being together would be difficult right? His life is at Italy and I'm pretty sure yours is only in Namimori. Even if you try to keep you relationship going, in the end, there will come a time when both of you would become hindrances to each other."

Kyoya didn't know what to respond after that. If only he can say things like you're wrong. No matter what happens, we'll still be together, he couldn't because if he thinks about it, Mukuro's right. Their relationship is just too complicated. Even though Kyoya knows that Dino would do anything to be with him, he also knows that being the boss of the Cavallone family is also important to Dino. It's the same with him too. He also loves Dino and he would also do all that he can to be together with him but he wants to protect Namimori as well. They might be able to handle the situation at first but there will come a time that they won't be able to handle it anymore and at some point, they would have to choose whether they should stay together or be separated and focus on their responsibilities. But even if that's the case, Kyoya doesn't want to give up because he knows that Dino won't give up as well. Kyoya hopes that one day, he and Dino could find a way to make their relationship work so that they'll be together peacefully.

"So how about it, Hibari? Have you realized it yet?"

After being silent for a while, Kyoya finally spoke.

"It's true that staying together would be hard for us and maybe someday, we'll become hindrances to each other but even if that happens, we'll never give up. We'll find a way to make it through so don't think that you know what will happen."

"So that's how it's going to be. Then I guess have no choice but to give up." Mukuro said. His face showed a bit of shock and disappointment.

"Then let go of me now!"

"Alright. But before I do…"

Suddenly, Mukuro kissed Kyoya forcefully. Then he hugged him so tight that Kyoya can't break free from the kiss. He didn't expect that Mukuro could be this strong. The next he knew, Mukuro's tongue was already inside his mouth and as much Kyoya wanted to resist, Mukuro overpowered him and their tongues end up wrestling. Kyoya can't believe Mukuro would have such skill in these kinds of things. The kiss lasted about more than 5 seconds. After that, Kyoya was able to shove Mukuro away, allowing him to breathe again.

"Why you-"

Kyoya was about to attack Mukuro with his tonfas but he stopped when he saw a blonde-haired man standing by the door of the disciplinary committee room. It was Dino. Judging from the look of his face, Kyoya knew that Dino saw what happened earlier. He was going to go to Dino and explain what just happened but Dino suddenly ran before he could even go near to him.

"Wait-"

And that's where Kyoya's last dream started.

When Kyoya opened his eyes, it was already morning. Even though a lot has happened, he still decided to go to school. He's not some weak kid who would just mope around when he has problems. No, he's far more stronger than that. And if he ever meets Dino or the others, then he won't show any sign of weakness. With this in mind, Kyoya Hibari went to Namimori Middle School.

Ugh! I hate it that Kyoya's so OOC in this chapter! But I can't think of any other way for him to act more Kyoya-ness. Oh well. I'm sorry if I made Mukuro the bad guy. I just feel like he's perfect to be the one who'd go between Dino and Kyoya:P. I hope this chapter's okay. Please review and thanks for reading
