I was even annoyed by my grandmother's question…which was "When will you get married?" DAMN! You have no idea…..my mom and dad even contradicted that I'm still too young to get married! Hey, I'm still 15 years old! Well, I'm gonna be 16 on January anyways! Oh well, enough with me….here's the new chapter…..again, gomen nasai if there are any grammars and typos….and I'm very sorry if the chapter's too short for you guys…..but I promise you, this one's worth it!

Enjoy!

Chapter 5: Lost

"Hibari-san, could you please slow down." Chrome pleaded while she rides at the back of Hibari's vehicle.

"I guess he can't hear me because of the noise of the vehicle…or he might just be ignoring me." Chrome said inside her mind with a long sigh.

But then she had suddenly caught sight of a familiar….cat. That black thin cat was the feline she saved years ago during that car accident before she became Chrome Dokuro.

"Wait, stop!" she exclaims and jumps out of the vehicle and went after the black cat.

"Nagi!" Hibari uttered out and went after Chrome. "What's gone in to her? Where is she going?" he wondered.

The cat ran faster and faster as the wind during furious storms and lightning strikes, but that didn't made Nagi grew tired of chasing after what she is running for. Why was she following it anyway?

She thought that maybe somehow this cat would change her life again. Being Nagi Shizuka Hanagara was uncomfortable; she thought that the cat would bring her back to being Chrome Dokuro once more. She thought that maybe somehow; following it could give her answers and bring her beloved master back to her.

The black feline ran its way and led Chrome to a cemetery; which seems that she is quite familiar with as well. But why was she brought in such a place? Nagi kept on following the cat, until it had finally stopped as it sat on a tombstone.

"At last, you've stopped!" she said while she catches her breathe after the running "You…you were that cat that I saved right? I can still remember you…do you remember me too?"

The cat meowed in reply and jumped into Chrome's lap.

"I guess you remember me as well. I'm glad!" Nagi smiled while the cat cuddles in her lap comfortably.

"Oh, that's right! I haven't given you a name yet. Maybe Ill just call you…Kuroi!" she named.

Suddenly, she noticed the tombstone that Kuroi sat on earlier. It seems familiar as well. Brushing the dust of the plate of the tombstone, it says:

Here lies….

Noboru Yuuto

"May you find your way to the light."

Chrome also noticed a bouquet of withered roses near the plate with a card attached at the edge of its vase that says:

No matter where you may be,

You will always be inside our hearts.

We will love you forever.

Wife: Mizumi Yuuto / Hanagara

Children: Nagi Shizuka Hanagara & Hiroshi Yuuto

This doesn't make any sense. Who is Noboru Yuuto? How is she and her mother related to this man? And who is Hiroshi Yuuto? Who are these people? Nagi had never knew them in her life, or did she? But how come she cannot trace a memory of them?

"Nagi!" Hibari's voice suddenly came.

"Hibari-san" Chrome exclaimed as she stood from the ground and turned to him while carrying Kuroi.

"Why did you do that? You might get yourself killed you know." He scolded.

"Sorry…I just…I saw a friend." She excused and showed the head prefect the cat.

"A cat?" he questioned.

Nagi nodded with a smile and the same blush "I named him Kuroi. You love animals, right Hibari-san? Can I keep him?" she asked.

But Hibari didn't know what to answer. The cat was adorable, but he adored the pleading girl in front of him more than the animal.

"Take the cat if you want. I need to take you home. Come one, you're 30 minutes late from curfew." He said as he grabbed Chrome's arm and dragged her back to his vehicle and hit the road once more.

Meanwhile….

"What do you mean it was destroyed?" Tsuna uttered in shock and disbelieve after hearing the ambush attack that happened to the Ninth form Reborn.

"So you mean everyone is still unconscious after the incident?" Yamamoto asks.

Reborn nodded "Every guard and subordinate, including the Ninth and his guardians are currently in a very improper state. None of them could explain what came to them. All they remember is that a pile of snakes bit their bodies and faces as if they're their lunch."

"Aren't there surveillance cameras in the mansion?" Gokudera wondered.

"All of the security cameras were jammed and destroyed. The suspects didn't dare to leave any trace of them behind. Dino and his subordinates hired investigators to study the remains of the area; and according to what they have observed, it seems that the ones who attacked the mansion are also the people behind of Mukuro's disappearance. After the ambush, Dino had also reported that Mukuro's underlings are nowhere to be found; which only concludes that Ken Joshima and Chikusa Kakimoto were kidnapped by these people. There is no doubt that this group is the one that kidnapped Mukuro." Reborn added.

"If that's what happened….then….then that means Chrome's next!" Tsuna answered and was given a nod by the infant.

At the same time, somewhere:

"Hibari-san, we're lost aren't we?" Chrome asked.

"Would you keep your mouth shut? If you hadn't followed that cat we wouldn't be lost like this." Hibari answered back.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Nagi apologized and felt very guilty.

She really didn't mean to; it was just a coincidence.

Hibari suddenly sighed after feeling a pinch of guilt for making Chrome feel sorry for her self "You know what, it's getting late. We'll just find a small motel and sleep for the night there. We'll find our way home tomorrow." He suggested, which Nagi agreed to.

Soon they found a good stay-in place, and as said earlier they would be sleeping there for the night. Unfortunately, the keeper informed them that there is only one room and one more bed available for the night.

Hibari even almost had the urge to bite him to death but decided not to since he was too tired to do so. He doesn't have time for this. By tomorrow everyone would probably find out about what is happening. There will be chatters, rumors, and gossips about him and his fake fiancée all over Namimori Campus, and he bet he has a lot of herbivores to bite to death as soon as morning came forth.

He had never actually slept in a motel before, especially with a girl. Every part of his body felt irritations all over them. This was very shameful for him to sleep outside with a girl. Why is he even with him?

Is it because of his hunger for revenge towards Mukuro? The man is currently missing and he was even assigned to take care of his doll, what a child. Such a puppet full of adorable temptation to feel and become an herbivore. He tries his best to not to fall for this pathetic trap. They were just pretending after all. No more, no less.

"Ano….Hibari-san….are you still mad at me?" Chrome suddenly had the urge to ask, but was given a large ignorance from the cold blooded prefect.

"Hibari-san…please forgive me. I really didn't mean for this to happen in the first place." She apologized again.

Now she's getting a little annoying with her non-stop apologies for Hibari, but somehow he adores her guilty expression. From that, he knew what made Mukuro so attached to her. She looked and acted so sinless and innocent that maybe made her so fragile to the illusionist.

He is aware of her past. He knows that Mukuro became a hero to her. He became her savior after she rescued the cat which is in her care right now. But what she is not aware of is that the cat was actually possessed by Mukuro when that incident happened.

"Hibari-san….ano…uhm.." Chrome utters while she blushed.

"Don't worry, we're not gonna share the same bed together. I'll sleep in the couch and you should make your self comfortable to sleep on the bed." Hibari said, expecting that that would be the answer of Chrome's question.

"Are you sure you could sleep there?" she asks feeling a bit worried for him.

"I slept the couch inside the reception room tons of times. What difference does it make?" he replied, which gave Nagi a satisfying answer.

However, Hibari was proven wrong; it has been four hours and he couldn't sleep, since the couch was too rough and it was terribly hard to sleep in. He can't even close his eyes or relax himself for a second.

He stood up from lying and sat on the couch for a while, letting a very heavy sigh while he focused his eyes on the comfortable soft bed that Chrome is currently sleeping in. She was already sound a sleep so deeply, dreaming in a far away place. The bed was very wide and she was only occupying the right side of the bed. Seeing that the left side was vacant, Hibari couldn't handle it and had finally approached the bed and slept on the left side of it. At last, he could finally sleep in a proper manner.

However, minutes had passed and Hibari suddenly felt cold. Again, there came another reason why he can't sleep. It was terribly cold that the bed covers weren't enough to warm him. Why was it too difficult to sleep in such a place? Now he realized that he should always go home early to avoid this kind of conflict again.

Suddenly, he felt something warm touched him. A soft warm and smooth skin wrapped his chest, and a small head leaned his shoulder. It was Nagi, who is still asleep. You could say how surprise Hibari was by her unnecessary action. But she had somehow…. made him feel sleepy. He felt warm, safe, and comfortable because of her touch.

"Mukuro-sama…Mukuro-sama…" she utters in a panting manner.

"She must be having a bad dream." Hibari thought.

Her face was as if she's in pain and worry. She can't sop calling his name over and over again. It was annoying. Hibari was getting annoyed by the nightmare she's having…especially the taboo she's saying all over again. He needs to stop the irritation or he might as well lose it.

Unnecessarily…an idea came to him. A stupid idea that is. But what choice does he have?

"I know you're asleep; but if you wake up after this…I'll bite you to death!" he whispered and kissed Nagi on her lips.

Her lips felt so soft and sweet, as if you were kissing a sweet honey red rose of spring. They were perfect and heavenly, savoring and luscious. Yet he cannot kiss her any longer. It was just a comfort for her nightmare.

Even though he wanted more so badly, he has no choice but to stop. After all, there relationship is still a fake paper.

After their kiss, Chrome remained in slumber and became more silent than before. There was finally a whole piece of serenity inside the room. At long last he could sleep now. His eyes slowly grew heavier and he felt more tired.

Second later, his eyes were finally closed.
