SORRY! I'm so sorry for the very, very late update! I was so busy watching KHR and since my stupid brother gave me a time limit of 2 hours, I can't find a time to type…. I am so sorry readers!

And now, let's stop the drama and skip to the story… Please do tell me if Hibari or any character is being OOC! ^-^

Chapter 2: Love Advices

"Congratulations, Hibari-san and Chrome! Your prizes will be given to the both of you later. In the mean time, the two of you can dance now." Tsuna announced on the microphone. Surprises keep on coming this night and all of them are associated with Hibari. First, he never thought that the cold-blooded guardian who hates crowds will come to his engagement party. Second, Kyoya even escorted Chrome here! Well, maybe years of training her made them close to each other. Third, he joined the game with Chrome. Fourth and the most shocking of all was that he kissed Chrome in front of a crowd! Who would have thought that Kyoya, the legendary-guardian-whose-eyes-are-as-sharp-as-needle, could have some time for love? And eventually, the woman whose master is his most despised person in the world. And fifth, they won the game. Even though Hibari didn't know exactly what the prize is, he still won. After thinking all of these things, Tsuna let out a sigh which caught the attention of his dear fiancée.

"What's wrong, Tsuna-kun? Are you tired already?" Kyoko asked in a concerned manner.

"No, Kyoko-chan. I'm fine. I just thought that Hibari-san is kind of weird tonight."

"I knew you noticed. You're very observant when it comes to your friends." Kyoko replied with a smile.

Am I even friends with him? Tsuna thought. Well, maybe he got some respect from him all through these years but Tsuna knew that Kyoya will never consider him as a friend. Wait, does Hibari even have a friend? He looked at Kyoya and Chrome dancing and smiled. Maybe, she's more than enough for him.

Meanwhile…

Kyoya held her waist close to him and whispered in her ear.

"Why are you so tensed?" even though he can't see it, he knew that she was blushing.

"I-I'm not tensed…" Chrome replied her cheeks giving out a light shade of pink.

"Then why are you stuttering?"Kyoya moved a little backwards to look at her blushing face.

"B-because I'm…thirsty! Right I am thirsty." What kind of lousy lie was that?

"There's no point in lying, woman. I know you more than you know."

Chrome sighed then said, "Ok, ok. I'll…I'll spill it. You're making me….confused, Kyoya. With all of your actions, I don't know… You're acting very different tonight, Kyoya." She layed her head on his chest and she felt his heart beat.

"Which of my actions confused you, then?"

"Everything!" she tilted her head up to have an eye-to-eye contact with him. "First of all, I was surprised that you'll come and escort me to Boss's party. Secondly, you joined this lousy little game and made me your partner and last but not the least….you…you kissed…me." She looked down at the last part of her statement trying to hide her blush. It wasn't just a light shade of pink, but a dark shade of rose. Hibari didn't reply then she continued with her head on his chest, "Why did you do that…Kyoya?"

"Why do you think a man would kiss a woman? If you're not dumb enough, you will understand for sure." Hibari replied coldy.

Chrome's eye widened and her blush grew darker then she said, "I…I want to…hear it from you." Kyoya looked down at Chrome.

"Herbivore. It's because…I like you…" he said turning his head away to hide the blush. Chrome was surprised. She looked at Kyoya then she spoke, "Really…?"

"Do you think I would joke about this?" he turned to Chrome but faced his side again to hide the darker blush on his face. Chrome chuckled.

"You're blushing." She was merely laughing but hid it because she knew that he'll just blush more and more. Kyoya replied with a "Tch." On the other hand, while Mukuro was dancing with MM, (of course the red-haired asked him!) he can't keep himself from looking at Chrome. He was still kind of angry at Hibari for stealing Chrome's lips away. Why does she have to be so special to him? He sighed. Deeply.

"You're mine now." Kyoya whispered softly in her ear that made her shiver from her spine to her feet.

"W-what? Tha-That's so fast, Kyoya! You haven't even asked me yet." She replied pushing Kyoya a bit farther from her but they were still dancing together.

"I won't ask you. I'm informing you."

"No! I-I still need to think about it!" She threw her head up to look at his eyes. "Please give me some time first..." Chrome continued as she looked down blushing.

"Alright…but I won't wait forever."

"Wa-wakata…"

Suddenly, Tsuna came to them and said, "May I dance with Chrome for a moment, Hibari-san?"

"No." Kyoya said straight-forwardly but Chrome demanded, "Of course, Bossu! You can dance with me. Right, Kyoya?"

"Herbivores." Kyoya said then left Chrome with Tsuna.

"May I, Chrome?"

"I already said yes, Bossu." She said as Tsuna take her hand and danced with her.

"Chrome, are you and Hibari-san dating?"

"Eh? N-no we're not! B-but…"

"But?"

"He just asked me earlier to be his girlfriend…Well I don't really know if he asked me or what." Chrome explained while blushing mad.

"Ho-hontoni?" Hi-Hibari asked…her? "What did he told you?"

"W-well…he said that I'm his already after what happened tonight…but I told him that I still need to think about it and he gave me time but again, he said that he won't wait forever." She replied with a small frown on her face.

"Then you should think quickly, Chrome. You should just follow what your heart says."

"Thank you for your advice, Bossu. I'll remember that." She smiled as she replied.

"Don't mention it. I'm not good at giving advices, anyway."

"I don't believe that. If you followed your own advices then it should be true because you have found the one you're going to love forever."

"Ahehehe…thank you for that compliment."

"You're welcome, Bossu."

"Uhmmm, ano Chrome?"

"Hm?"

"Can you please just call me Tsuna? I'm really tired of everyone calling me Boss, Juudaime, Decimo, etc. I just want my friends to call me by my name and be normal even just with them."

"Alright, Tsuna." (I don't want Tsuna-kun or Tsuna-san because Kyoko and Haru already call him that. Also, from what I noticed from Chrome, she just says the first name w/o suffixes of course with the exception of Mukuro. Ex: Ken and Chikusa.)

"So Chrome, what will you tell Hibari-san?"

"Ano…I still need to think about it. I'm still confused."

"Then you should spend more time thinking about it."

"Yes. I think I'm gonna need more advices from all of you."

"I'm gonna help you with anything I can, Chrome."

"Thank you, Tsuna."

"Chrome, I need to go now. We have new guests that I must entertain. I'm so sorry."

"No it's okay Bos— I mean Tsuna."

"I'm really sorry, so I guess I'll just see you later."

Chrome just smiled as a reply as he walked away. Tired of dancing, she thought of going to the rooftop but she knew that Kyoya will be there so she went to the balcony. She was quite surprised to see Gokudera leaning on the railing, smoking a cigarette.

"It's a nice party." She said moving closer on the railing but maintaining a distance with him.

"Of course. I'm the one who organinzed it, after all."

"Gokudera, I have a question."

"What is it?" he said with quite a grudge.

"How do you know if you're in love?"

"Why are you asking me that kind of question?"

"Because you're in love with Haru."

"Tch. Why don't you know? Aren't you in love with Hibari?"

"That's the reason why I'm asking you right now. I don't know what to consider knowing if I love him."

"So you're not dating him?"

"Of course not!" she said that with a blush. (of course…)

Gokudera didn't respond for a while.

"It's okay if you don't want to answer. I could just ask—"

"Your heart begins to beat faster whenever you see that person. You feel comfortable whenever you're with him, and you feel like she or he's your life." He suddenly spoke after a long silence.

"Wow. You must have loved Haru so much."

"She's the one who said that to me."

"Then she should have loved you so much."

"Enough with that topic. I don't like talking about that irritating woman."

"What? Why, don't you like her? Both of you are dating, right?"

"Of course I like her. I won't risk asking a girl to be my girlfriend in front of a theater if I don't like her. I just don't like making her the topic."

"Then why are you calling her irritating woman? Aren't you supposed to call her something special?"

"Who the heck told you that?"

"Uhmmm…Mukuro-sama did."

"So that bastard knows something about love, huh?"

"Please don't call him bastard, Gokudera."

"You can't make me. He tried to posses the tenth."

"Can you answer my question now?"

"I can call her whatever I want."

"Oh…okay."

"If you really want to know if you love him, see if he makes you happy." He said before going back to the party.

"Follow what my heart says and see if he makes me happy. Hmmm… not bad for advices but I still need to learn more." Chrome said as she leaned down the cold railing and laid her head in her hands, just like cupping them. She stared at the beautiful night sky with twinkling stars in different sizes. She sighed deeply. Why does Kyoya need to do that in front of many people? Now everyone thinks they're in a relationship. How is she going to explain to everyone when she doesn't even know all of them? Was that even important? She can just let them think whatever they want. She knows the real thing. Well, she really admires Kyoya, a lot. He's an amazing fighter. But, does she love him? Another sigh.

"Thinking deep, aren't you?" Mukuro suddenly appeared leaning beside her.

"Not really. Glad you managed to escape from MM."

"I asked Chikusa to dance with her. So how do you feel?

"Hm? What do you mean Mukuro-sama?"

"What do you feel about…the kiss Hibari gave you?"

"Eh? We-we're not dating!" again with the blushing…

"I never asked that."

"We-well, I thought you were going to ask because I guess everyone assumes that." Chrome said looking down hiding the blush.

"Kufufufu…you're still so cute while blushing."

"Please don't say that, Mukuro-sama! It'll just make me blush more…"

"Kufufufu…If you say so. Did he asked you to be his girlfriend?"

"How did you know that, Mukuro-sama?"

"I'm not telling." Actually, he knows because he was focused on the both of them while dancing. Chrome was just too dense and focused on Kyoya that's why she never noticed.

"Yes he did."

"What did you answer him?"

"I said that I still need time."

"Hmmm…"

Chrome was not sure but she thought that she just saw a frown on his face.

"Is it…is it bothering you, Mukuro-sama?"

He looked at her with a soft smile.

"No…I'm not bothered… As long as it makes you happy, my dear."

She replied with a very warm smile then said, "Mukuro-sama, can you give me some advices?"

"Advices?"

"Yes… because I don't really know what to consider if I love Kyoya or not." She said looking downwards while blushing lightly.

"Kufufufu… I'll give you one that I know: that person changes you into something different. Something you never thought you could be."

"Oh… that really makes sense. Mukuro-sama, have you ever loved someone?"

He was taken aback with her sudden question.

"Loved…someone?"

"Oh, sorry Mukuro-sama, maybe I shouldn't have asked about it."

"No, it's okay Nagi. The truth is, I am. I am in love with someone so dense that she really never feels my love for her."

"Hontoni? Was she the one who changed you?"

"Yes she is. She made who I am now."

"Sugoi ne… so that's what love can do?"

"It's more than this, my Chrome."

"That woman must be so lucky."

"Yes she is, because two men are in love with her."

"Eh? So you have a rival?"

"Hai. And he's already ahead of me."

"Why do say that?"

"Because he already asked her to be his girlfriend."

"What's her reply?"

"She's still thinking about it."

"Then you shouldn't give up, Mukuro-sama!"

"Huh?"

"You shouldn't give up because they're still not a couple. You still have a chance."

"No…I can't. She doesn't even know my feelings for her."

"Why haven't you told her?"

"Kufufufu… because I'm scared." He said leaning on the cold railing, his arms folded.

"Scared of what, Mukuro-sama?"

"That she might change."

"I can't understand it, Mukuro-sama."

"Our relationship might collapse if I tell her."

She was still looking confused.

"She's really an ignorant when it comes to this."

"I love you."

"Eh? Na-nani?" Chrome turned to look at him and was blushing so mad like a very ripe tomato.

"Everything will feel awkward for you, if I tell you that."

"Ah… okay I get it now. Don't joke like that, Mukuro-sama." Chrome sighed heavily, feeling relieved.

"Why? Will you neglect me if what I said is true?"

"No, it's not like that, I just don't like to feel more confused after Kyoya's confession."

"I understand."

"Thank you, Mukuro-sama. If I were her, I won't change because I know you'll accept whatever my answer is."

He was astounded when he heard what she said.

"R-really?"

"Hai! You're my Mukuro-sama after all." Chrome smiled so sweet that Mukuro felt his cheeks turn to a very light shade of pink that it's almost invincible. "I'll just go to the restroom."

"Chrome." He called out to her.

"Nan desu ka?"

There was a small pause before he replied, "I'll just… go to my room."

"Okay." Again with the smile.

"I won't change…"

"I love you, Chrome…"

"Kyoya and I, we're not a couple, Haru-chan." Chrome replied to Haru when she greeted her in the restroom.

"Hagi? Hibari-san kissed you in front of a crowd even though you're not dating?"

"Hai." She looked down with a blush.

"Wow. Sugoi neh! He must've loved you so much! He even escorted you here! I'm jealous."

"Why are you jealous, Haru-chan? What did he do that made you jealous of me?"

"He wasn't ashamed to express his feelings to you. Unlike Gokudera. See? He won't even allow me to call his first name!"

"Well, I believe that behind all those things, he still loves you."

"Really? You believe that?"

"He won't ask a woman in front of a theater if he doesn't love her, right? He's not the kind of man who would risk such a thing after all."

"Thank you very much, Chrome-chan! That encouraged me a lot! Arigatou neh!" Haru said as she hugs Chrome so tight.

"Do-doo itashimashite. Haru-chan, I can't…breathe."

"Gomen nasai! I'm just happy. Why haven't I realized that before? Chrome-chan, I'm going now. I need to see my boyfriend! Ja neh!

"Ah matte, Haru-chan!"

"Nani?"

"Ano… I was just wondering if you could help me."

"I'll help you with anything I can Chrome-chan."

"How will you know if you're falling in love?"

"Oh, that's easy! For me, you'll know that if you always want to see that person."

"Thank you, Haru-chan. That helps a lot."

"Don't mention it, Chrome-chan! So I'll just see you around then." She said before she went out the door.

Chrome was now alone in the restroom. She looked at the mirror, observing herself. She looks so damn beautiful. (Specially in Shimon Uniform!) Suddenly, a cubicle opened which revealed a red-haired woman with a yellow-orange sleeveless cocktail dress.

"So you're not dating that 'carnivore man', huh?"

"Kyoya? No, we're not." So it was everyone's topic?

"I thought his standards were high. How wrong I was." MM said as she put lipstick on her lips.

"Sorry if I haven't meant your standards, then." Chrome puffed some press powder on her cheeks.

"Tch. Good thing Mukuro-chan has very high standards only I can reach."

"MM, has someone asked you to be his girlfriend?"

"No and I know Mukuro-chan will be the one."

"I don't think so."

"What did you said? Don't speak like you know many things about him. For your information, I met him first before you, imprudent girl!"

"Mukuro-sama told me that he's in love with a dense girl but someone already asked her before him. I doubt that it's you since no one has asked you."

"I-I was just kidding when I told you that! Chikusa! Chikusa asked me but of course I said no. I'll only give my yes to Mukuro-chan of course."

"He said that the girl was still thinking about it and that she was so dense she doesn't feel his love for her at all."

"Why are you against my answers? You think you're the one he's in love with? Don't dream big bitch, because that will never happen."

"I'm just saying what Mukuro-sama told me."

"Are you saying that I'm lying?"

"You're the one who said that." Chrome collected her things and was about to leave when MM suddenly said, "Hey bitch! Mukuro-chan belongs to me and don't you dare take him from me."

"If he's really yours, then you shouldn't worry about me taking him away." Then Chrome went out leaving a frustrated MM behind.

"Hey, Chrome."

"Oh, Yamamoto. Haven't seen you for a while."

"Yeah well, I saw you and Hibari together. You're a nice couple."

"Ah iie, we're not dating."

"Oh, really? Hahaha! I didn't know Hibari is so straight forward."

"Ahehehe… well, I didn't know it myself."

"Anyway, would you like to dance, Chrome?"

"Sure."

The song this time is that kind of Tango or Ballroom dancing. The tempo was fast and upbeat. They were swaying and dancing. But when the dance suddenly turned slow, they stopped and went to sit at a cozy couch.

"Yamamoto, have you ever been in love before?"

"Me? No, never! Why did you asked?"

"Well, I was just wondering if you could give me some advice about it."

"Sorry if I couldn't be of any help to you, Chrome."

"No it's alright."

"Why do you want advices, anyway?"

"Kyoya asked me to be his girlfriend but I asked for time to think if I'm feeling the same way for him."

"Oh, I see. Maybe this will be of no help but I know one thing my old man told me before."

"What is it?"

"He told me that if you really love that person, you can sacrifice anything for her or him."

"Wow that was a very good advice, Yamamamoto. Arigatou."

"Ahahaha. You're very welcome!"

"Ah, Yamamoto, I'm going to the rooftop for some air and peace. Want to join me?"

"Nah, I guess I'll decline. I'm going for to grab some drinks."

"Okay, I guess I'll go now."

"See yah later!"

She went to the stairs and headed for the rooftop. There she saw Hibari taking a nap on a bench, his arms extended to hold his head. She went close to him. She sat on a space beside his head. Suddenly, Kyoya moved to her, making his head on top of her lap. She was surprised. His eyes were still closed.

"How did…how did you knew it was me?"

"I knew it from the way you walked."

"You even noticed that?"

"Hm."

"Kyoya…thank you." Chrome said as she stroke his hair gently and was wearing a smile on her face.

"For what?" his eyes were still closed.

"For…loving me. Arigatou."

"Do you think I want this to happen?"

"No because if it's possible, you don't want to love someone, right?"

"Hm."

"I know you too well, too."

"Shut up. I'm going to sleep. If you wake me up, I'll bite you to death."

"Is that how you talk to your girlfriend?" Hibari's eyes flung open.

"What?"

"Well, when you were away earlier, I asked for some advices and I have thought about it clearly. Their advices and my feelings…they were the same. Everything they said was true."

"I knew you're going to say it."

"You always knew."

Suddenly, Hibari's hand flew to Chrome's neck and straightened up to catch her lips.

"Kyoya…" she said in between their kisses.

"Say it…"

"I…I love…you."

YES! At last after 6 days! Woohoo! ^0^ Hope that was worth the wait! I'll be working on chapter 3 ASAP! I guess Mukuro was quite OOC here…GOMENE! Sorry if there are any other characters who are OOC! Please do review if my story is good! :) I love receiving candies!

I have a question: Who's other KHR male character do you like for Chrome other than Hibari?

Yep! I decided to do a questionnaire every chapter or story I makes. I decided to do it because I guess it'll make me receive more 'candies'. I want to read your answers! My answer to that is Mukuro or Yamamoto. I'm kind of in a hurry now so I'll just explain my answer on the next chapter! Janeh! ^-^
