After she had parted with Tsunami and the other guardians Chrome immediately headed towards her favorite place in the world. The place where her boss had found her and the place where she started a new life.

She quickly came upon her destination after a few moments of walking, Kokuyo Land. Upon entering the building she noticed that the area had been cleaned since the last time she had come. There was a new indigo couch placed against the wall and all of the debris that had once littered the floor was gone. Timidly glancing around the room she saw a few more signs that someone had been living here.

"Who's this girl, byon?"

Chrome let out a startled shriek at the sudden voice before spinning around and coming face to face with a blonde boy who was… sniffing her? Another boy with pupiless gray eyes and dark hair was watching her from a shadowed corner, his face unreadable as he examined her.

"Oi Kakapi what do we do with her?"

The blonde asked his dark haired companion as he stared Chrome down with an unnerving intensity. Before the dark haired one could answer a dark chuckle echoed through the building catching the attention of the three occupants.

"Kufufufu now now Ken don't be too hasty." Mist began to swirl in one spot before taking the shape of a teenage boy and within seconds Rokudo Mukuro stood in all of his glory. His dual toned eyes seemed to peer into Chrome's very soul before a smirk formed on his lips. "You did a tremendous performance as always Nagi. Tsunayoshi-kun sends you his highest approval; he was astounded by how well you've been doing at keeping your identity secret."

At the praise Chrome practically glowed with pride. "Thank you Mukuro-sama! But…" She trailed off uncertainly, but once Mukuro waved his arms as a way to get her to continue she ventured on. "How much longer do I have to stay here? I want to go home with you and be with everyone." Her eyes immediately turned to her feet as she spoke.

Mukuro, still ignoring the other two boys' presence, sent the girl an apologetic look. "Nagi, you know why you have to stay there. You're the only mist user with high enough power to catch Vongola's attention. I would've been sent instead but you know as well as I do why I can't leave Tsunayoshi-kun's side." He stepped towards the downtrodden girl and tilted her chin up sending her a small smile, "He's very impressed with your performance and promised to find a way to bring you back home for a little while. His appearance has already thrown Vongola into chaos all we need is to shove their decimo a little further and he'll spiral into insanity on his own."

Chrome sent an equally small smile back to the older mist user before deciding to change the topic of the conversation. "Mukuro-sama, who are these two boys?"

Mukuro looked over to the two teens, who had gone to talking to one another all the while peering at the two mist users, before calling out to them. "Ken, Chikusa come over here for a moment. I would like you to meet someone with a… somewhat similar mission as you two."

"Who is this girl Mukuro-sama?" Ken questioned as he and Chikusa walked towards the two. "Is she really that important? She looks pretty weak, byon."

"Haven't I taught you not to allow looks to deceive you, Ken?" Mukuro clicked his tongue while shaking his head in mock disappointment. "She's my own apprentice."

"Like Flan?" Chikusa spoke up for the first time but he only managed to confuse Chrome. How was she like a dessert?

"Not quite. Flan is much stronger but not nearly as trustworthy, the Vongola would never accept him into their ranks. However the Varia does have a weak spot for power, don't they?" Mukuro chuckled to himself before noticing Chrome's confusion. "Flan is my apprentice as well. You should have met him already but seeing as how the Varia's leader 'disappeared' one day they've been having a mad scramble for power recently."

"The Varia?" Chrome questioned but immediately shrunk in on herself at the incredulous looks that she was receiving.

"Mukuro-sama you can't be serious!" A female voice called out before a girl with short red hair walked into the room sending a dirty glare towards Chrome. "Does she have any idea what she's doing?!"

"M.M. be nice, she's just the product of a worthless 'boss'." Mukuro shushed the other girl who quickly marched up to him as they began their own conversation.

"The Varia is an independent assassination squad; it is a part of Vongola to put it simply. They don't function in a way that relates to Vongola though." Chrome jumped before turning her attention to Chikusa. "Their leader was once Xanxus; if you've been to the Head Quarters then I'm sure you've met him."

"Xanxus?" Chrome breathed out in amazement, all she had known about her boss' family was that they were all insanely powerful. She wasn't aware of what they had done or who they were in the past.

"Yeah you know big guy with a rod shoved permanently up his ass, byon?" Ken waved his hand in a nonchalant manner which received a sharp look from Chikusa.

"Kufufufu, you know that he could kill you in an instant if he heard you say that Ken." Mukuro voice told of his amusement to Ken's statement. "Now then let's see what else that brat could have kept from you. You know what the Arcobaleno are correct?"

"Isn't that just Fon and Collonello?" Chrome questioned, timidly twirling her fingers. M.M. let out a loud groan at her answer though.

"Seriously?! Did you even know that Reborn is one too?" At Chrome's shocked look it was apparent that M.M. was resisting the urge to kill her. "God Damnit! We've only been to the base a few times and even we know that!"

"B-But! I thought the Arcobaleno were babies!" Chrome tried to defend herself while looking to Mukuro for some form of confirmation.

"Well yes, however Reborn and Tsunayoshi-kun found a way to reverse the curse a while back. They still have yet to tell us how exactly they managed it but all we know is that they also shared the secret with Verde, the lightning Arcobaleno." Mukuro hummed thoughtfully under his breath, seemingly lost in his own mind.

"Mukuro-sama. I'm home." A bored voice sounded through the building as a younger boy with mint green hair and a frog hat stepped into the room.

"Ah Flan perfect timing, now that we're all here I need to discuss the plans that will cause the death of Vongola." Mukuro waved his hand and a black table appeared in front of him with six chairs pushed under it. He then sat at the one chair that was at the head of the table, M.M took the spot to the right of him with Chikusa taking the spot next to her and Ken taking the spot next to him.

Chrome sat nervously on the chair to Mukuro's other side while the newest addition, Flan, sat next to her. "Um… Mukuro-sama, why are we here? I never received any notice to come here."

"IDIOT! Mukuro-sama has a link with all of us and can call us here when he needs to! Haven't you gotten used to this by now?" M.M. snapped at Chrome angrily.

"Now M.M. I've never had to contact Chrome, the Vongola has that pesky mist Arcobaleno lurking around somewhere and I needed to ensure he was gone before I could contact her, she may be strong but she's not as well equipped to block out invasive presences in her mind." Mukuro propped his head up with his left hand before sending the table a chilling smile.

"Now then as Tsunayoshi-kun is busy with a certain angel he has given us free reign to do as we like to Vongola."

With that one statement M.M. and Ken both gained their own unsettling grins while the other three turned their full attention to Mukuro.

"Kufufufu~ let's have some fun."

"Tsuna-kun~! It's such a surprise to see you here again!" A teenage boy with snow white hair and lavender eyes immediately leapt towards the young boss.

"Tsunayoshi-sama is you alright to be moving around? Uncle told me about what happened." A young girl with dark green hair and dark blue eyes watched the brunette get cuddled by the older white haired teen.

"Don't worry Yuni; Verde came by with some stronger medicine for me." Tsuna replied the best he could with the white haired teen snuggling his head as though he were a stuffed animal.

"Verde stopped by? Is that how you managed to get here without Reborn?" Yuni questioned, giggling behind her hand as the white haired teen returned to his seat next to her while dragging Tsuna with him and forcing the brunette to sit on his lap.

"He managed to distract Reborn and the others long enough for me to sneak out. I'll have to apologize to them later." Tsuna took in his surroundings curiously; they must have changed the layout since the last time he had come here.

The entire room was pure white and the three white chairs, two of which were currently occupied, were facing one another and a chess board was placed in the middle of the three chairs. This area was in what appeared to be a dip in the room. There were a two or three steps leading up to the higher platform which held the entrance, a crystalline door with a white film over it and a scanner to the right of it, and several decorative plants with what appeared to be an indoor waterfall taking up the entire back wall. The whole room screamed purity and life.

"Hehe~ How cruel Tsuna-kun~! Sending your overprotective dogs on an innocent party?" The teen giggled happily while the brunette in his grasp pouted.

"I didn't send them on him and they're not dogs Byakuran!" Byakuran simply hummed in response. "I didn't! He only goaded Reborn and I sent the others to break up the fight!" Tsuna tried to defend himself.

"Tsunayoshi-sama I think we should start our meeting now. It's only a matter of time before Reborn realizes you left and then we'll all be in trouble." Yuni cut into Tsuna's defense. Immediately Tsuna's eyes turned a bloody orange color and Byakuran's eyes sharpened.

"Right now then on to business." Tsuna rose gracefully before settling himself into the only empty chair. "It's been exactly nine years since Byakuran discovered his powers and found us."

"As of now we have managed to infiltrate nearly every mafia family and plant the seed of doubt into their heads." Byakuran continued pulling out a packet of papers each page having a family name and crest. "Not to mention you managed to find the Shimon family, very impressive Yuni."

"Don't congratulate me yet Byakuran. I'm still unsure as to whether or not Enma is willing to work for our cause. He has a deeper hatred for Vongola than you have told us. He nearly refused to listen to me once he found out that I even knew someone of Vongola blood." Yuni trailed off her own blue eyes clouding over in thought. "It may take some time before he's willing to cooperate with us…"

"All that matters is whether or not he's playing as we perceived. We can gain his alliance at a later time, you did 'accidently' tell him where Tsunami was right?" Tsuna asked, absentmindedly rolling his bell between his fingers.

"Yes, when I went back they were nowhere to be found so I think they took the bait."

"So now it's only a matter of time before the Vongola crumbles neh?" Tsuna grinned scooting forward in his seat a little to grab one of the eight black pawn pieces, 7 of which had a white 'S' painted on them and the final one having a scorpion drawn on it, before moving it two spaces up.

"Let the game begin~."

A/n:

Now then you may be asking yourself "What's wrong with this crazy bitch? Why's she updating this shitty story instead of the one I want?!"

Well all I can say is

TOO BORING!

Most of the rest of you are TOO BORING I pm'd at least one person who responded to each of my stories and you know what happened? Only the people who actually left a review on this story responded.

So~! Fi Suki Saki and Rikkai and hyotei lover were the only ones who managed to interest me even the slightest. What you people don't understand is that I love talking to people even if it's through the internet. So when I pm you and you don't do shit it makes me waaaaayyyy less inclined to even say something back to you. I like interesting people.

For example, whenever I made a new story it was mostly Taira-Keimei who influenced what I updated. As time went on it was New Slove and Schwarzien.D'Seventh, both of which I loved talking too! ((If you guys are reading this pm meeeeee I miss talking to youuuuu))

I was honestly going to stop writing Blood Red Sky a while back but you know what happened to change my mind? ChildOfDe4th came along and requested a torture chapter that captivated me and got me outta my slump.

TotalAmuto was also an interesting spice of life~ She managed to make me laugh during our short conversation. Patrimohime-sama also helped me out by making my day and telling me that I'm one of her favorite authors~! o/o Still makes me so happy~! I also had a veryyy interesting conversation with xxxWhite-Wing13xxx quite some time ago. xD I freaked her out with my plane joke~!

Ayz283 helped me a while back in order to choose which story to continue which is why this story is as far as it is~! Chi-tanda managed to keep me entertained during our short conversation as well~!

If you haven't realized this by now this is kinda my way to call out several people and make you go look to see who they are and read their stories :3

But in all seriousness you other story likers need to communicate with me on some level to get your story updated :P

OH YEAH! For those of you who even remember my first story, I'm rewriting it now and have been for a while now. I can't get the same amount of stuff as I had before but I'll have it finished soon and then the sequel will be up if you all still remember it~!
