Author's Note: Not too sure what happened while I was writing this. Minako is a bit confused and starts to get annoyed, I guess…

Disclaimer: I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

I stare at the words written down in the letter. I don't really find this possible. I scold myself as I notice my hand is shaking a little. Should I really be this surprised? I even made a joke about it to Gokudera the other day since I figured that this was the situation, but for some reason hearing it like this… I sigh and decide to re-read it.

It says:

I know that it sounds absurd that in the future, your boyfriend is Mukuro, but I thought I should let you know. As absurd as it sounds, I would have liked to know if I was in your position, which is why I'm letting you know. Onii-san doesn't really approve, but he hasn't done anything about it yet. Don't worry too much about this though, that would be my job. Focus on other things for the time being. I've left notes on people that you should get to know before actually seeing them. Read over those and get to understand them well.

Good luck,

Hibari, Minako

I can't help but look at the picture left by my future-self. By reading those words again, I've managed to calm down just a little. I guess that I wouldn't do something to harm myself or get myself annoyed… If this is the choice I make in the future, then I'll accept it… I nod to myself. Even though this is the situation in this time period for the future me, it shouldn't affect how I feel about him now. I can still hate him if I'd like to. I'll leave the rest for my future-self. I think this to myself to make myself feel more at ease. I don't care anymore. There's not time for this.

I glance at the clock. I can manage to stay up a little longer. I pull out the notes on people and start to read through them. It's much easier doing this.

I look up from my food because Kusakabe calls me. "Yes?" I ask.

Kusakabe glances at Onii-san before saying anything. It's as though he's asking permission to say something first. Onii-san looks a bit reluctant as he nods. "There's something that I think you should be part of," Kusakabe says finally.

"Something…?" I ask. I get up to follow Kusakabe to whatever that something may be.

"A meeting to be exact."

As it turns out, the meeting is on Mukuro. Kusakabe figured that I should be part of it too since it involves my future-self in a way too. In a way, I don't really want to be here though. There are too many people in this room. My right eye twitches a little, "We think so. Joshima, Kakimoto, Chrome, and Mina-san… They headed to Vendicare Prison five years ago in order to break out Mukuro. But the plan failed. After that, we've lost contact with the three of them… However, after that, we noticed strange rumors." So I was the only one to come back?

"Strange rumors?" Yamamoto asks.

"'Mukuro had been defeated,' was the rumor," Kusakabe says.

"What do you mean?" Tsuna asks.

"The information said that the Millefiore that defeated him was Glo Xinia," Kusakabe replies.

Gokudera asks, "Glo Xinia?"

"Please look at the monitor," Kusakabe says. I turn to the monitor in front of me and an image of a man with glasses appears. "The Eighth Squad Captain, Glo Xinia. He's one of the very few A-Ranks."

Yamamoto starts, "This guy…"

"Took out Mukuro?" Gokudera finishes.

"If we take this to be true…Then that means there was a fight with something that was possessed. Mukuro took a big blow during that fight. There were a few, but we don't think that Mukuro died. That is because after that incident, at the airport in Italy, we saw Chrome," Kusakabe says. A picture of a woman gets pulled up.

Tsuna says happily, "Chrome was alive?! She looks like she was badly injured…"

"That must be it! If Mukuro had died, then Chrome wouldn't have lived," Gokudera says.

"Right now, Chrome is missing without a trace. So, that means we should look into the 'supportive' man in the picture," Reborn says.

"As expected, that is exactly right," Kusakabe says.

"What?" Tsuna asks.

Lal Mirch turns to Giannini. "Is this information bothering anyone else?"

"This is…completely…" Giannini replies.

"I feel the same way," Kusakabe says. "The fact remains that this man is unidentified. Unless we investigate, we will never know whether or not he is relevant to this case."

Reborn adds, "If he isn't related, then we're out of leads."

"Even if the man is related, we must continue. Furthermore, there is still one more thing to worry about," Kusakabe continues.

"There is?" Tsuna asks.

"This picture." Kusakabe pulls out a picture of Hibird.

"That's the Hibird you showed us before!" Tsuna exclaims. I watch as he stares at the picture.

"Eh? This is Mukuro?!" Tsuna asks. He's holding a picture of something that I believe is a white bird.

Kusakabe corrects, "This is something related to Mukuro. Hibari was in the middle of battle in Italy, when it was changed for the better. We kept surveillance with cameras."
"But…" Yamamoto starts.

"That guy…" Gokudera says.

"We used code names…" Kusakabe continues.

"Mukurowl, right?" I ask. Everyone looks a bit surprised as Kusakabe nods.

"How did you know?" Tusna asks.

"My future-self left me notes on things that I should know," I explain. "There was a considerably large amount of notes regarding what happened to the Kokuyo Gang."

Kusakabe's expression lightens a bit. "I'm not surprised that this was in there. You were the one who came up with the name."

"Mukurowl…? Because he's an owl?" Yamamoto asks.

"Mukurowl…" Gokudera repeats.

Reborn says out of nowhere, "Oh that's right, I heard that in this time period, Mukuro is dating Minako. I heard it was around four or five years that they were dating."

"You say that so casually," I reply flatly.

Gokudera looks surprised. "What?! That guy?" he asks. His eyes are a little wide.

I raise my right eyebrow. "That was my future-self's decision. As for me, at the moment, I don't care. I'll do as I like and continue to hate him." I stand up suddenly. "I'm not too interested in this. I know it already. I'll be taking my leave now." I walk out before anyone can say anything else.

I hear Reborn say, "There must have been too many people in the room. She lasted for pretty long though."

I walk back to Onii-san's side of the base. "Onii-san, I'm back," I say. He looks at me and I explain, "I've already read about everything being discussed. Plus, there were too many people crowded there." He pats my head.
