Author's note: Okay, it's done! I'll put up the list at the bottom of the chapter since I'm feeling a little lazy. Either way, I appreciate your reviews and support guys.

I walk to Kokuyo Land to deliver Ken and Chikusa's dinner as usual. When I walk into the building, I'm greeted by a purple-haired girl with Onii-chan's hairstyle. We're about the same height. I look at her blankly and she starts to laugh, "Kufufu…"
"O-Onii-chan?" I ask hesitantly. Onii-chan nods. "Onii-chan, you're a girl now?" I ask innocently.
Onii-chan starts to laugh again. "This is Chrome Dokuro." Apparently, the topic isn't something that Onii-chan wants to talk about. "I want you to take care of her, alright?"
I smile and nod. "Alright, Onii-chan!" I agree happily.
Onii-chan pats my head. "That's my adorable little sister," he says with smile. It looks weird on the girl's face. It's also weird that the girl is a little shorter than me. He frowns a little as he uses an illusion to look like himself again. "I should get going soon. I don't have too much power at the moment."
"Okay, I'll talk to you again, Onii-chan!" I say.
"Hisoka," a familiar voice says.
I turn around and smile at Hibari. "Oh, Hibari-san? Did something happen?" I ask.
"What's going on between you and this guy, my adorable Hisoka?" Onii-chan asks. He looks annoyed. Hibari looks equally as annoyed at Onii-chan though. "What did you do to my innocent younger sister, Hibari, Kyoya?" Onii-chan asks. It looks like his anger is barely under control. I flinch a little.
I smile innocently and pretend that nothing happened. "It's getting late, so I should go soon!" I say as innocently as my expression is. I put the dinner on the table and wave. "Bye, Onii-chan!" I run away quickly to avoid his anger. Of course, he won't get mad at me, but I don't want Onii-chan and Hibari fighting. As I walk towards the entrance of Kokuyo land, I see Hibari look at Onii-chan for a little before turning to follow me. He must have wanted to fight Onii-chan.
"Let's go," Hibari says when he catches up with me quickly.
I nod and mange to reply, "Yeah, it's getting dark out!" I start to frown a little and I say hesitantly, "Um…I know that you wanted to fight Onii-chan, but…" I can't figure out how to phrase it properly so, I give up. "I…I'm sorry…" I finally finish sadly. I actually really feel sorry because I feel like I forced Hibari to leave, well kind of.
I look up at him blankly. "It's fine. There's no point in biting him to death in this state," Hibari replies.
"Are you sure?" I ask hesitantly. I realize quickly that there was no point in asking though. I don't think Hibari would have said something like that unless he really thought of it that way at least even a little bit. Could he just be saying this to make me feel better though? I decide to smile. "One day… I'm sure that one day, Onii-chan will really be around," I say.
Hibari nods. "One day, I will certainly bite the real him to death."
Since Hibari left to go train with Dino for the Ring battle two days ago, I decide to go visit Ken, Chikusa, and maybe Onii-chan or Chrome, depending on who's around. It's kind of lonely without Hibari. I look at the purple-haired girl in front of me. "Oh, it's Chrome-chan!" I greet happily.
"O-Oh, Hisoka…" she greets timidly.
"Are Ken and Chikusa around too?" I ask.
She shakes her head. "They left…"
"Alright then," I reply with a nod. "How are you?" I ask. I tilt my head to the side a little.
"Um…"
Chrome is a bit shy… I completely forgot… "Hm... um…" I start. I smile. "Anyhow, I made food," I say as I pass her the box.
"Thanks," she replies softly.
I shake my head. "Don't worry about it," I reply. "By the way, you don't know how to cook, do you?" I ask.
This time, it's her turn to shake her head. "No."
"I'll teach you sometime," I say with a smile.
She blushes a little. "T-Thanks…" she replies. She looks as though she doesn't know what to do. "Um… Mukuro-sama was saying that…" she starts.
"Huh? What about Onii-chan?" I ask.
"He d-doesn't like it that you're with the Cloud man…" she manages to say somehow.
I look at her blankly for a bit. She looks uncomfortable, so I smile. "I know," I say as I continue to smile.
"You…don't mind?" she asks.
"It's not that," I reply. "It's just that Onii-chan has always told me that I can do as I'd like to. Besides, Onii-chan's just like this. He always has been a bit protective of me." She seems to get it because she nods. "But, I'm more worried about you," I say honestly.
"Eh?" she asks. Her eyes are wide.
I giggle. She can guess what I mean already. "Don't you like Onii-chan?" I ask. She starts to blush even more and I giggle again. "I thought so."
She starts to speak, "Um…"
"I'm not against it. You're a nice person, Chrome-chan," I say. "Just watch out, alright?" I get up from the couch. "Well, I should get going. It's getting late out."
She nods as she continues to blush furiously at my approval. "Bye…" she manages to utter.
I grin and nod. "Bye-bye!" I start to walk back home. Onii-chan, if you can hear me, you'd better take good care of Chrome-chan. She's too innocent to be toyed with, you know? I smile a little even if I don't know whether or not he hears me. I just want you to be happy Onii-chan, which is why you know that I'd do almost anything for you. Well, goodnight, Onii-chan.
When I get home, I find Hibari right outside of the house. I smile happily. "Welcome back," I say. I'm glad that he's back. It was a bit lonely without him.
I think I see him smile faintly and my eyes widen. It must have been because it's dark out… "We're going to the school," Hibari says.
I smile and nod. "Alright," I reply. He came to find me before heading to Nami-middle… I smile to myself as I start to walk with Hibari. It's weird, but I'm happy.
