wanted to sit by the window and see the clouds pass by

She then saw Mukuro sama (wearing god-knows how many lifevests) moving around where Gokudera was sleeping, his face in obvious glee

what he was doing, but surmised that Gokudera would not be too happy about it when he wakes up

stifles a giggle, and goes back to staring outside the sky

ambled over and plopped down in the seat next to Chrome. "Ou!" o/

Takeshi-san ^^ Ah... did you check on Gokudera-san?

Um, no. o_o Should I?

... naaah, it's okay. I thought I heard him mumbling earlier ^^

Hoooou. o.o

tilts head. "I'm kinda confused now, ahaha!"

"It's nothing, really!" ^^ She grins and pats Yamamot's hand to assure him, then turns her attention back tot he window.

... the sky really looks awesome from up here.

It's pretty, huh?

Aa. I've never been this high up! I think the sky looks even bluer from up here. And the clouds, they look like cotton candy sometimes...

... like you can reach out and touch them, but you know they're just made of condensation.

I think I know what you mean.

looked at Yamamoto with that big grin on his face and couldn't help but smile back. "... which is?"

That it's really pretty! ...And kinda delicious-looking. o_o

Or maybe I'm just hungry, ahaha!

"..." and breaks out into laughter as well. "Maybe we can ask the flight attendant for some food..."

Sounds like a plan! You should eat a bit too~ :0

that Chrome needs to eat more!

that her eating habits suit her just fine, thank you~

But I eat..." She stops because she hears an odd sound. "... who's that laughing?"

Huh... sounds kind of familiar. o_o

turns in his seat. "...Kyouya? @_@"

watching the scene unfold with some sort of sick fascination.

that Gokudera has a really, really cute dorkface, especially when it's been scribbled on.

... that was Hibari-san?" Chrome looks over the seats and saw that Gokudera was now up as well.

stop herself from laughing out loud when she saw what was done to his face

Mukuro has a great sense of humor, huh?

that Mukuro-sama's humor originally ran to the... more interesting and exotic, but she nodded to Yamamoto instead.

now wandering down the aisle, idly spinning his tonfa.

Ou, Kyouya~ :0

?

looks up and notices who Yamamoto is with. "...."

sees that look and decides not to let it affect her. Because suddenly, she had an idea!

Wait just a minute, Takeshi-san", drawing out her phone and inching her way out of her seat, passing by Hibari with a mumbled " 'scuse me"

E-eh? Um, sure! o_o

what the girl might be up to.

follows the girl with his gaze, and caught her in the act.

...Ahahaha!

watches, with raised eyebrows.

...Ou. Heard my name. o.o Gimme a sec~

ambles off!

returned to her seat with a grin on her face~

....Hou.

now looks at Hibari, ponders for a minute and takes a photo of him as well

smile!

does the exact opposite. >_>

expected that, but laughs anyway.

You seem to be having fun.

I am. It's my first plane ride.

Hn.

saw Yamamoto kissing Gokudera and snaps that as well!

now settled back into her seat

Hibari if he's been on how many plane rides now

leaning back against the seat beside Chrome's, watching the fireworks.

Three, maybe four. It doesn't matter.

aah. you've been abroad that much? mm...

now fiddling with her phone.

why he's even talking with the girl.

wondering the very same thing, actually. And whether she'd ask him for his number...

noted the fact that Yamamoto has gone off to the bathroom with Gokudera in tow. ...Hmm.

Hibari for Cavallone-san's number instead.

turns around, giving her an incredulous look.

...Why would you need his number?

: "So I can send him your picture" she says noncommittally, but with a hint of an impish grin

does not know what has come over her today. It must be the cabin pressure or something.

.........

Find out for yourself. >_>

that Dino is a pervert, though, and he probably has far kinkier or more embarrassing pictures of him lying around somewhere.

You look like a little boy when you make that face, Hibari-san.

^^

Hmph.

takes another picture ( xD )

never understand why girls are fascinated with picture taking.

You're going back to Kokuyo after this, aren't you?

closes her phone with a snap and stores it back in her bag. "... I don't think so. Now that Mukuro-sama is free, he'd want to be with boss"

Ken and Chikusa will go where he goes.

And do you always go where your master goes?

My loyalty lies with him. And to the boss' as well.

Hou.

her good mood starting to slip away. No, she won't have that. She'll be as civil to him as she possibly can.

if how long it will be until they reach Japan

A few hours, I suppose.

...If you're not going back to Kokuyo, where will you stay?

... haven't really thought about that yet. If the boss will have me at their house, I suppose. If not, I'll find somewhere near.

wondering why he was asking those questions. Then she realizes that she'll be staying in Hibari's *territory*. Namimori.

she feels a headache coming on.

happened to be walking down the aisle (read: checking on the kids) at that moment, and heard most of their conversation.

pops up on cue.

You don't have a place to stay, Chrome?

Kaoko-san! ^^ Ah... not sure about it, I'll have to ask boss first...

Hmm. Well, Tsuna-kun is sure to have his hands full with Mukuro.

...Hayato-kun is sure to become a permanent fixture there. Takeshi-kun is probably going to stay there also, if Hayato will.

Don't Lambo and Ipin stay with the Sawadas also?

That sounds like a pretty full house to me. :0

...does not like where this seems to be going.

... mm, you're right...

*shrugs* maybe I can find an apartment nearby then.

But that's so expensive~

Obasaan. *with VERY light, VERY subtle disapproval*

pretend not to notice Kyouya's disapproval!

not tell Kaoko and Hibari about her side job with the Varia. Besides, she still e-mails her mother, but only if she needed soemthing...

which was rarely.

Kaoko if she had any other suggestions in mind.

wondering when the girl would ever ask. :3

Why don't you stay with us? ^_^

.......... 0___o E-eh?

suddenly inwardly spazzing.

It will save you money, and it will keep you on top of things.

Besides, you're taking jobs with Squalo, and part of my job involves playing watchdog for the Varia.

Overall, it seems like an ideal situation. :0

to know exactly what his aunt's definition of "ideal" is, because it certainly doesn't jive with him. >_>

floored. When did she know...

now more awed and intrigued at Kaoko~

all smiles, waiting for Chrome to say yes~

looking at both Hibari and his aunt. She *did* want to be closer to Mukuro, Tsuna and the other guardians, money wouldn't be a problem

and she was right, she would be on top of things with the Varia. And she really, really liked Kaoko-san.

that the only problem lay with her... hesitation to inhabit the same house with Hibari, of all people.

But maybe...

... If you'll have me, Id be honored to live with you, Kaoko-san, Hibari-san...

looking at Hibari, gauging his reaction.

Hn.

Of *course* we'll have you~ our house is far too big for just two people. :3

And, you should call Kyouya by his first name, you know. Since we're both Hibaris!

... ah, hai... .___.;

that it might be some time before she gets comfortable to calling him by his first name...

It's settled then. You can come home with us as soon as we touch down~

the idea of having a girl around the house!

that she'll be finding out how hard it is to say "no" to Kaoko ^^; "... okay."

smiles at the girl again, and sashays off to the cockpit~

......

: "... it's very hard to say no to your aunt" She offers, by way of explanation.

pushes himself off the chair. "...I'm going to sleep."

now has that headache, and is feeling sleepy to boot.

watches him stride off and sighs. Things were going to get more complicated, she thought, as she started to drift off to sleep...
