Chapter : A lunch with the Hibari

Chrome sit in the Japanese style room in seiza style. She have changed her school uniform into a simple purple coloured yukata with pink sakura pattern as soon as they arrive in to the Hibari household. Chrome couldn't suppressed her blushing and shy smile as Hibari give him small affection smile when he first saw her in the dress. Even though not every day she wear this kind of dress and sit this way, her posture is perfect and elegant, even in Hibari's eyes.

Hibari sit beside her, already changed into a black plain yukata too, and return with his stoic face as both of them sitting in front of Hibari's parents. Ryota Hibari is like an older version of Hibari Kyoya, with a bit thinner hair, and sharper eyes. Beside her, right in front of Chrome, sit his wife, Nadeshiko Hibari. Nadeshiko is a beautiful woman with long jet black hair and having the expression of both powerful and elegant. Her age couldn't hide her beautiful face, not even a wrinkle could be seen in her face.

Chrome have met both parents a few times before, so she's not as nervous as before. But nevertheless, the nervousness seems to never leave her whenever she's in their presence. They have just finished eating lunch, and now enjoying afternoon tea while having supposed to be 'chat'.

Nadeshiko pouring tea to her husband's glass, in which he accept with a 'hm', making Chrome knew where Kyoya's attitude came from, and then she eye the two youngster. "So you two will be leaving for Italy again tonight?"

Kyoya taking a sip from his own glass, and then give a nod. "Yes mother. It was scheduled to be a 5 days stay."

"And what about your job?" ask Ryota as he staring(or glaring?) at his own son.

Kyoya staring(or glaring?) back at him as he ask back, "Which one?"

"Both."

Chrome and Nadeshiko just sit back and watch as both of them continuing their staring (or glaring?) contest while having a father and son conversation.

"I already making pre-arrangement for the necessities here while I'm leave, as Tetsuya will leave with me later on. And about the CEDEF thing, I have grasp all the organization's scheme, and was scheduled to take over it after I graduate."

There was a few moments of silent as the head of Hibari seems to chewing on his words, "Being the head of CEDEF is not a small matter. You will be looked down if you ever show any weakness at all."

"I won't." Kyoya quickly say with stern face.

Ryota give a grin at his son, "I presume so." He then turn to Chrome, who just keep her calm face as she being stared at the older Hibari. "I hope my son haven't been too much of a hassle for you."

Chrome couldn't hold her small giggle as Kyoya's looks turn almost into a pissed face to his own father.

"He was the best I could ask for, Hibari-san," Chrome say with a bit of blush. Unknown to her, Kyoya eye him with a bit surprised looks, and almost hinting a blush too if he couldn't hold himself.

Suddenly, Ryota glaring at Chrome, making her squeak on her seat. Did I say something wrong?!

"I thought I told you to call me Father before," he said with the same stern voice, making Chrome blinked at him. Beside him, Nadeshiko giggling in her gracious way at her husband's antics.

"Ha..hai...Father…" Chrome repeat with a shy smile. Didn't mind the contrast with the older Hibari's stern face. Because soon after that, a rare warm smile appear in his face too. Making even Kyoya dumbfounded.

Ryota notice Kyoya's change of expression, and then turn to him back with his stern look, "What is it son? Got any problem?"

Kyoya almost glaring at him for the tone he received, "You never show that kind of face before."

Ryota snorting at his son's question, "Isn't it obvious? You're not that cute enough to be looking at like that."

Kyoya twitched, under his yukata, his hand already holding his tonfa, and he knows under the garments his father is doing the same thing. While beside him, Chrome is blushing even more at the indirect compliment, not even notice the deadly glaring contest that happened beside her anymore. Across them, Nadeshiko just watching happily while sipping her own tea. Yeah, this is natural for Hibari's household. She just hope Chrome could manage with them for that long.
