Author's Note: Well now, lookie here! I was able to update this story faster than I thought I would….oh well, at least I've updated it. Anyways, I was absent today because of this darn stomach ache and damn I can't go outside to ask my friends if we have some homeworks or projects. Oh well, I'll just give my teachers an excuse letter tomorrow.

Anyways, about the chapter: Well, I think this would have to be the longest chapter I've made so far in this story. And sure this is worth it!

Enjoy!

Chapter 7: Ambushed!

All throughout the entire day, Hibari couldn't stop thinking about the banquet tonight. Is it because of his grandfather, who can't seem to stop reminding him to wear a sharp elegant dress for tonight? Or maybe because of Kuroi, who he needs to take with him in the party for Chrome? Or maybe simply because he can't stop thinking about her.

No, thinking about women are for herbivores only; this was the phrase that he stocked inside his noggin.

However, the thought that keeps on distracting him from work is the kiss he gave her that night. What was he thinking during that time anyway? Why did he kiss her?

Oh yeah, he needed her to shut up so he could sleep. But there was a desire that flamed all over him while he did that. What does it mean? How confusing.

"Kyouya! Open this door!" His grandfather suddenly erased his train of thoughts.

Hibari immediately put himself together and went to fetch the door for his grandfather.

"What's going on your head Kyouya? I've been knocking the door for 15 minutes and you won't answer nor open it for me." Yuroshi wondered.

"I'm…I'm sorry." Hibari lowered his head as a sign of respect for his grandfather.

"Something's bothering you, is it Nagi?" Yuroshi asked.

"No." Hibari answered while he tried to hide the blush in his cheeks.

Yuroshi laughed "Will you look at that! It's been a while since I've seen your cheeks turn red. You like her, don't you?"

The prefect kept his mouth closed, not knowing what to reply. If he wasn't his grandfather, he would've bitten him to death by now.

"Alright, alright, I know how easily teenagers get embarrassed. I'll just leave you for awhile so you could get ready for her return party." And Yuroshi left his grandson.

Meanwhile….

"Hiroshi-sama, we're here." The driver informed as a group of black cars entered the gates of Hanagara mansion.

As soon as Hiroshi and his men off board their cars, he ordered his subordinates to split up and ready their positions.

"And don't forget to keep your eyes open for Hibari Kyouya. Boss Shichirou has some business with him as well." Hiroshi reminded his guards.

"Nagi! Would you hurry up!...I mean…Nagi dear, a lot of guests are already downstairs waiting for you." Mizumi knocked at Chrome's door.

"I…I'll be right there. Please give me a minute." Chrome replies that made her mother's blood boil more.

"May I?" Hibari suddenly approached the door that caused Mizumi to have a shocked expression.

"Ano….Kyouya-kun, how did you get here?" Mizumi uttered.

"Didn't I told you to stop calling me by that name?" Hibari threatened with a cold glare.

"No….you're right. I'm sorry. I should be on my way." Mizumi excused herself before leaving.

As soon as Nagi's mother was gone, Hibari opened the door without asking any permission or knocking the door.

"It's quite improper for a man to just enter inside a girl's room without asking. Please knock next time." Nagi pleaded with light blushes on her cheeks.

"I don't care about that. You're late." Hibari replied rudely "By the way, here's the cat." He handed as it hid from hic back.

"Kuroi!" she uttered as the black feline cuddled her.

"Chrome" Hibari suddenly spoke "Well…you wouldn't mind if I call you Nagi from now on, right?"

She nodded "I guess its fine. But….do you find Chrome rather hard to pronounce or does it disturb you?"

"Since Mukuro was the one who had given you that name…then yes, it disturbs me, it annoys me, and it irritates me."

Nagi suddenly lowered her head a little, feeling a little guilty about what Hibari said. That was a little harsh, don't you think? He'd thought of something to make her feel better. After all, the party was held for her return and what guest wouldn't wonder why she looks down.

"Nagi." Hibari called.

"Yes?...Hibari-san?" she asked.

"Here. Take this." He said in a very rude manner as he gave her a silver ring with a diamond on top of it.

"Take it? ….Is Hibari-san giving me this as a gift?"

"Just wear it if you want to. Hurry up! Everyone's waiting you know." He demanded.

As said, Nagi wore her new jewelry and proceeded downstairs with him.

"So that's what your daughter looks like. Well I must say, she resembles you greatly Mizumi." A friend of Chrome's mother commented.

"Why thank you…you have no idea how much I love her." Mizumi lied with a fake smile on her face.

"But Mizumi…didn't you told me that you hate her?" another friend of Nagi's mother whispered.

"No! She's my daughter and I should love her!" she lied again.

It was such a heart-break for Nagi to hear her mother lying again. It hurts her so much.

"And should I expect that the boy she's with is her fiancé?"

"Ah yes! That is Mr. Yuroshi Hibari's grandson, Kyouya Hibari.!" Mizumi bragged out loud that everyone in the room was able to hear her proud aura.

"Kyouya…Hibari….isn't that the boy whom everyone fears in Namimori town?"

"I heard he was such a drastic young man. Everyone, young and old, is afraid of him very much."

"Many say that he is not fond of crowds, does he? But why is he here in the first place?"

"I must say, Mizumi's daughter is such a lucky woman to be with a man such as him."

Hibari could hear everyone's murmurs and gossips with each other. His grandfather warned him to cool it since it's a very formal party. If only Yuroshi wasn't around, he would've disobeyed that warning and began biting everyone to death.

"Ano…..Hibari-san…you can let go of my hand now." Chrome permitted with a shy blush.

Was he holding her degenerated hand all this time? Dammit if he did!

Hibari lets go of her hand and looked away, trying to hide the embarrassment that he just had with her. Though her skin was so soft and warm, he felt it in his cold hand; like her sweet soft lips, he wanted to hold it more. Her warmth was enough for someone so cold like him.

Mukuro is a cold person as well. Is this why he have chosen her to be with him?

What is he thinking? There are so many thoughts in his mind right now; thoughts that are about the crowd in the party, his grandfather, Chrome's parents, his revenge for Mukuro, and Nagi.

But Nagi's part in Hibari's head is wider than his revenge for the imprisoned illusionist.

"Hiroshi-sama, should we attack now?" a subordinate asked with the use of his earphones to communicate with Hiroshi.

"No, give her some time. I shall tell you when will be the perfect time to attack." Hiroshi replied.

"Nagi…I'd have to admit, you look beautiful after five years. It's just…I'm regretful that I wasn't able to witness your growth," Hiroshi said in silence.

Meanwhile, Hibari suddenly saw a lot of couples dancing at the middle of the hall.

"Wouldn't it be nice if I asked her to dance?" Hibari questioned himself "No! That's just pathetic."

But it would be shameful. After all, she's her fiancée at the eyes of the public, and this banquet was held for her return as said earlier. What kind of man wouldn't ask his woman to dance at her own party?

"Hibari-san! What are you?...where are you?" Nagi uttered in shock and confusion as Hibari stood up from his seat and began dragging her at the center of the area.

"Dance with me….or I'll bite you to death." Hibari threatened that made Chrome obey his command with a dark shade of red on her cheeks.

"Hibari-san…why are you doing this for?" Nagi wondered but was again given a large ignorance from Hibari as he looked away, trying to avoid answering her question.

Chrome, in the other hand, kept her mouth closed to avoid further conflicts between her and the cloud man. She just kept her head down while blushing like a strawberry.

Stupid thoughts! His pathetic thinking is controlling his actions. It's like he's being possessed. Mukuro isn't possessing him at this moment, is he? That's impossible; he can't feel any presence around other than Nagi.

Hibari's eyes suddenly landed on her. He'd have to admit, she's gorgeous. No one, even him, could even resist this kind of girl. She's obedient, shy, quiet, and loyal.

Chrome suddenly had the urge to lid her eye up to Hibari. He was looking at her, deeply as everyone would say.

She looked through his eyes as well; how they wouls shimmer as the stars in the night sky. For a violent person, there sure is a beautiful side on him that maybe only a few people would be able to see.

Without their realization…they were already staring, looking at each other so deep within their thoughts, as if it was only the two of the inside a world….a world more beautiful than what Mukuro made for Chrome.

Watch his lips. They were moving slowly, carefully towards her, trying not to surprise her so she won't pull back. She did the same as well. A little closer no, their lips would collide once more.

But…

"NOW! ATTACK NOW!" Hiroshi commands as he and hundreds of hitmen inside the room brought out their weapons and began threatening everyone.

Due to the frightened lives, Hibari and Chrome got separated from each other.

"Nagi!" Hibari yells as he tried to search for her in the crowd.

Suddenly, someone dropped down behind him.

"Who are you people and what is your business here?" Hibari questioned a tall long-red-haired woman with large silver chains as her weapon.

"The name's Rosso. You must be Hibari Kyouya I presume." She replied.

"Answer my question herbivore! What are you people doing here?"

"We're here to kidnap Chrome Dokuro as ordered by our boss, Shichirou Rokudo!"

"Rokudo? A relative of Mukuro?"

"A twin brother actually." Rosso began to swing her chains upwards at a circular motion "Hibari Kyouya, you have some business with our boss as well. So I suggest that it's best that you come with us." And cloud flames began to burst out from her weapon.

"You're suggesting me to give up? That's not gonna happen herbivore!" Hibari attacked as he swung his tonfas at her side causing him to hit her.

"Uhg! Kids are such disobedient creatures! So this means I'll have to take you by force!" Rosso attacked as she threw her chains towards Hibari.

But Hibari was able to dodge at her attack as he ran to her side again for another hit. However, he didn't realize the needle hiding at her other hand that was injected at his neck when he ran to her.

Hibari fell on the ground; his vision and his mind were getting darker and his strength was being pulled down.

"This should keep you quiet at our trip to Italy!" Rosso said before Hibari was able to fall asleep.

"Hibari-san!..." Nagi shrieked when she saw him unconscious, but was suddenly interrupted by a hand that covered her small mouth.

"It's not polite to yell at someone…little Nagi." Hiroshi whispers "I can't hurt you Nagi. But for now, why don't you do me a favor and sleep." He said as he brought out a needle (the same as what Rosso injected at Hibari) and poked it to her skin, causing her to fall asleep as well at the arms of a complete stranger.

"Well done Rosso!" Hiroshi praised "Mission accomplished boys! Let's get put of here!" he commands as he and his men left with Chrome and Hibari in their attainment.
