We all popped back up in the future in the room with the white disk thing, and Shoichi and Spanner waiting for us.

Tsuna looked at the two, "You guys have been here all week?"

Spanner looked up at him, "No. What was a week for you guys was ten minutes for us."

Ten minutes. I may not completely understand time travel, but I'm assuming Shoichi's machine had to do with what was a week for us was ten minutes for them.

We finally got ourselves back to our base; and Chrome almost immediately headed for her room. I was about to follow her, but Reborn stopped me.

"Kumoru, I'd like to see something." Reborn requested.

I shrugged, "I'm not very interesting."

"I just want to see the ring older Kumoru left you." Reborn clarified. I slipped off the chained ring and handed it over.

"It's just a chained ring." I rolled my eyes.

"Perhaps." Reborn nodded as he walked away with it.

"Hey-"

"You'll get it back." Reborn kept walking. I raised an eyebrow.

"I wonder what he wants with it…" I trailed off while thinking. I looked around the base, "Umm, where's my room?"

Reborn walked into the conference room.

"Basil," he looked around, resting his eyes on Basil, "I need you to pull up all of Kumoru's files from ten years ago, while he was training in CEDEF."

Basil walked over to a computer and began looking through all the files, "Why?"

Reborn joined him, "I have a few theories on what this ring is."

Basil pulled up all the files from all the days I was there, "Oh? What be thy theories?"

Reborn looked at all the files, "This is a rather unusual ring, and older Kumoru tried to hide it. Older Kumoru and younger Kumoru kept the ring on the same finger and same hand."

"Doth meaning?"

"This ring has some special aspect to it. I'm hoping his past records might shed some light." Reborn looked through them, "Nothing I don't already know."

Basil stopped to think, "Did we tell thou of Mukuro-dono's visit?"

Reborn glanced up, "No. What happened?"

"I'll show thou the footage." Basil pulled up the security footage.

Everyone there; Basil, Bianchi, Giannini, and Reborn listened in.

They watched the whole ordeal between Lal Mirch and Mukuro (chapter 42 of Chrome's Brother.)

"Wait, go back." Reborn requested. Basil re-winded the footage.

"No one sees the real power in him, and no one ever will. Or live to tell the tale." Mukuro's voice cracked through the speakers.

Reborn looked down on the locked ring, "Hmm… Real power?"

Bianchi looked at the ring, "I don't know. It could mean anything."

Giannini looked through the computer, "There are no known rings that are more powerful than the Hell, Mare, or Vongola rings." Giannini shook his head, "It couldn't be any of those rings."

"Hm."
