Pls. review. :))

~After a week~

I was finally out of the hospital, but I haven't fully recovered yet and for the past week, there was no sign of Hibari-san. He didn't visit nor appeared to me. Maybe because of that incident in the hospital. And speaking of that incident, it still bothers me every time I remembered about it, I have mixed feelings. I felt confused and at the same time pain and happiness for an unknown reason.

Why should I felt pain?

And why do I felt happy about it?

But each time I ask about it, only one answer pops out.

You love him

It's what my heart says.

But, I can't accept it.

I still love Mukuro-sama despite what he has done with me.

Does it mean that I love two boys at the same time?

No, it can't be.

Or, my brain was the only one saying that I love Mukuro-sama and my heart says it's Hibari-san.

I don't know. I really can't answer my question.

Maybe, staying in your room for weeks is not a good idea it will cause you to become crazy and think of ridiculous things.

So, I've decided that I should go out now.

When I went out, I saw different Christmas decorations around the Vongola mansion.

I have stayed in my room for so long that I was not able to notice that it's already 4 days before Christmas.

As I went down, I saw Kyoko-chan and Haru-chan decorating the Christmas tree.

"Ah,Chrome-chan!" Kyoko exclaimed. Haru immediately looked at me.

"Chrome-chan!" She shouted, then they ran towards me.

"We're glad you finally managed to get out of your room.!" Kyoko-chan exclaimed.

"Yes, Iw as also glad to see the world outside my room again." I said with a smile.

"Hahi! Chrome-chan is already smiling!" Haru shrieked.

"Does it mean you've already recovered?" Kyoko-chan asked.

"Not fully. But I'm trying my best." I answered.

"We're glad to hear that from you!" They both exclaimed happily.

"Anou, Kyoko-chan, Haru-chan would you mind if I would help in decorating the Christmas tree?" I asked.

"Of course, Chrome-chan!" Haru-chan exclaimed.

"Actually, we really have a big problem with the design, and you could be a big help!" Kyoko-chan said, smiling.

Then, we headed where the Christmas tree is located and started decorating it. Theere are several decorations that was placed inside the plastic. There were snowmen, Christamas balls, bells and a star. We put them on the Christmas tree while chattering happily. After several minutes we were finally finished.

"Hahi! Chrome-chan, Kyoko-chan wasn't it beautiful?" Haru exclaimed.

"Hai." We both answered.

"Decorating the Christmas tree consumed a lot of my energy. I'm feeling hungry already." HAru said.

"Me too, how about you Chrome-chan?" Kyoko-chan asked.

"Nope. I'm still full." I answered.

"Okay, but do you want to go to the kitchen with us?" Haru asked.

"No, thank you. But, I want to go the garden." I answered.

"Do you want us to accompany you?" Kyoko-chan asked.

I shook my head. "No, I want to go there alone." I answered while smiling.

"Okay." Kyoko said as she and Haru headed towards the kitchen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1896 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mukuro-sama" I said as I reached the garden. As I went inside I immediately went under the sakura tree and sat under it and reminisced that incident. I closed my eyes and tucked my head in my knees.

After a few moments, I heard footsteps towards me. I raised my head to see who was it and to my surprise it was Hibari-san.

"Hi-HIbari-san!" I said, surprised.

"Why are you here, herbivore?" As I heard his voice, I suddenly blushed. But, why? Because of what had happened in the hospital?

"Anou…" I said while looking down and playing with my fingers.

"You haven't attempted to commit suicide again while in your room, weren't you?" I looked at him with confused eyes.

"Eh?"

"What a herbivore." He muttered.

"Anou… …Hibari-san," I said in a low tone while looking down. He just looked at me.

"I-I just want to know…. a-about what had ha-happened in the hospital la-last w-week?" I said.

"Which of those?" He asked.

"Anou…." I said, blushing then, I looked down even more.

He frowned.

"W-When I'm attempting to commit suicide by….. overdosing ….myself….."

There was a moment of silence after my statement. I can't continue what I'm about to say. He suddenly broke the silence.

"Then I kissed you." He suddenly said and sat next to me..

"H-hai." I answered in a low and shy tone.

"I-I'm just curious…. W-why did you d-do that?" I said, blushing badly.

"Don't be too naïve. Why do you think a boy would do that to a girl?" He said.

I looked at him while blushing. He looked back.

"What?" He asked with a little annoyance in his tone.

"H-He l-likes…. the…. ..girl…" I answered, stammering.

"Hn." Was the only reply he gave. I just stared at him.

"What?" He asked, annoyed.

"Do-does it mean…. y-you… li-like m-me?" I asked looking down, my hair covering my face.

"No." He answered.

I bowed even more.

"No, I don't like you. But, I love you." He said as remove my hair from my face then placing it on my ears.

I looked at him with a shocked expression.

"You what?" I asked, surprised.

"Are you deaf? I said I love you." He said then he looked away.

"But," His tone suddenly changed in to a sad one. "You already love someone. And that is that bastard, Mukuro Rokudo." He said.

"Hibari-san." I muttered in a soft voice.

"You're the reason why I didn't kill him, even though I had the chance." He paused for a while.

"Just because I don't want you to feel sad." He continued.

Suddenly, tears flowed down my eyes.

"Hibari Kyoya" I whispered.

"Agh! Why am I telling you these things?" He said with an annoyed tone. Then, he stood up and left.

"Hibari Kyoya." I repeated as I watch him leave, tears still flowing down. But for this time, the tears are not because of pain. But because of happiness. Happiness for someone had stopped the bleeding in my heart.

"Now I understand." I whispered.

"I understand why I'm feeling that way towards you. Because…. I love you." I said with a smile.
