walked in to see unconscious doctors everywhere ~_~. But of course, she was more concerned with the person they were supposed to be treating

sitting on his bed, looking a little bewildered as the smoke cleared. "... o.o *blinks*"

glad to see that he was left unharmed. She approached him cautiously.

... um, are you okay, Mukuro-sama?

Ah, yes. I'm fine, thank you.

that its a bit... unnerving to see him smiling so carefree. It's very... different...

then again, he *does* not remember anything at all...

absolutely no idea what to say next. There was a lot of things she wanted to ask him, but how do you do that when he's forgotten everything?

um, may I ask... if you remember who I am?

shook his head slightly. "... I'm afraid I don't remember anyone..."

...

... um, then... then I'll introduce myself!

bows down. "I'm Chrome Dokuro, Mukuro-sama. It's nice to meet you"

crushed inside, but will not show it to him.

gave Chrome a gentle smile. "It's nice to meet you too, Chrome. ... And you don't have to be so formal around me. ^_^"

a-ah, but I've always called you... Mukuro-sama. But if you say so...

sees that gentle smile, and is surprised and enthralled by it again.

Is there anything you want to ask? Um, or anything you need? I'll try to answer your questions, and do what you aks...

... Well... Is there anything you could tell me about how I was..?

paused. She wasn't privy to everything, but... she would tell him of what she knew, and believed.

Well, you were... are, are an illusionist, Mukuro-sama. You have a lot of powers, I'm sure you'll remember them all again in time...

and... and you saved me from dying, by giving me illusory organs, for me to live again. In exchange, I swore to help you...

to help you and become one of the boss' guardians, because... because your body was trapped in the Vendici prison.

and we only communicated through our minds. But the boss & I came to get you, and you're free now...

... free to be with and protect the boss, the head of the Vongola famiglia, Sawada Tsunayoshi

frowned. An illusionist..? And he saved her life by giving her illusionary organs..? ... Communicating through minds..?

--These were all new to him, but at the same time, he felt as if he already knew about them. But he just can't remember.

... You mean... I'm still sustaining those illusions now, unconsciously... even though I can't remember a thing..?

I... I think so. I'm not really sure how it happens, but... I *feel* that's so.

she had no idea either. Even though she remembers the Hibari of the future teaching her how to maintain her own,

she still feels the hold of Mukuro over her quite strongly.

A-aa... ... We must have been rather close, haven't we..? I'm sorry I can't recall anything...

*no, not in that way* But says "It's okay, Mukuro-sama. What's important is that you're safe and free now."

nodded, falling silent as he glanced around the room."Erm... What are we supposed to do about the doctors..?"

glances around at all of them on the floor. "Mm... I don't know. Gokudera-san said they're supposed to check up on you..."

ah! do you want to go somewhere, instead?

Sure. ^_^ I haven't really explored this place yet anyway.

umn, okay! Ah... do you still want to change into different clothes? It can get cold even if we're inside the mansion...

nodded, picking up the clothes he got earlier from the bed, and headed for the bathroom. "I'll be right back. "

nods, and waits for him to change.

came back out a moment later, changed into his new clothes. "Shall we go? "
