wanted to visit Hibari in the hospital but wasn't able to ask Kaoko at what hospital he was in, and didn't want to be trailed by the men

at least the boss' house was just nearby.

wrapped herself in the easiest illusion she could into when she slipped out of the house: invisibility.

Managing her to walk past the men keeping their eye on the house undisturbed. She kept the illusion up until she reached the few blocks

before Tsuna's house. Breathing a sigh of relief, she dissolved the illusion and walked up to the Sawada house's door and rang.

opened the door and smiled when he saw who was standing outside. "Chrome! Hello! "

blinks at that. Chrome...?

if the girl knows about what happened. He decides not to say anything just yet though.

gone back to his apartment to grab a couple more books and a few sets of clothes and has just gotten back.

walked up behind Chrome, wondering what was she was doing here. Again. .-.

greets Gokudera first, giving him a polite bow, before turning to both the boss and Yamamoto "Buona sera, boss~" & kisses Tsuna on the cheek

I promised Mukuro-sama I'd come by again. How was your bath together?

Err. It was.... Mukuro hit his head, and...

doesn't know what to say. Surely Mukuro wouldn't want to keep Chrome out of the loop?

stepped aside to let Chrome and Gokudera into the house. "Um, maybe you should see for yourself," he mumbled.

pushed past Chrome into the house, greeting Tsuna with a smile before heading up to the guestroom to put down his stuff.

to follow the boy, but he needs to speak to Tsuna first.

frowned a bit when Gokudera pushed past. "Hit his head? He's... weirder than usual?" she asked, making her way to the kitchen

follows at a slower pace. Maybe Mukuro wants to talk to Chrome alone. And vice versa. He stops just outside the kitchen.

hangs back also, wondering if now's a good time to talk to Tsuna.

eventually decides that he might as well.

enters the kitchen and sees the maid's dress on Mukuro and smells the... very odd smell of whatever he was cooking up 0_o

turned around when he felt Chrome's presence in the kitchen. "Ah, Chrome. Good afternoon. ^_^"

paused and checked the clock. "... Well, evening, actually. ^__^"

"Good evening, Muku-" and stops. There was something in his voice that was back to the way it was. She looked into his eyes.

squints her eye. She swore she's seeing a glint of intentional mischief in his eyes. And a small grin at the corners of his mouth

smirked, seems like Chrome's finally noticed. "... Missed me? ^_^"

's eye widens. "Mukuro-sama!" she exclaims, trembling in relief as she launches herself to him for a hug.

body relaxes as she wrapped her arms around his form. *You're back, you're back. I've missed you so much, Mukuro-sama* she thought

burying her face in the front of his v. ruffly maid's uniform

chuckled and wrapped his arms around the girl, patting her head softly.

spoke to Chrome in her thoughts. *But you just saw me yesterday, Chrome. ^_^*

*I... I know. But it isn't the same, Mukuro-sama! It wasn't... you, you...* she looks up at him.

*Though I was happy to see that you were very happy with boss, and he was taking care of you*

*That may be true, but I never left you, Chrome*

*You would have found me, if you looked hard enough*

leans into Mukuro's chest again. Tears were threatening to roll down her face. And she let herself be *distracted* by Kyouya...

... or who he will, or might be. *... thank you for never leaving me, Mukuro-sama. And your faith in me..."

immediately had a million and one things she wanted to ask him, but is now content with just holding him right htere.

*there

held Chrome silently. *Ah yes, let's keep the fact that I've regained my memories a secret between you, me and Tsunayoshi, alright?*

about the reason why, but nods in agreement. *What will I tell Ken and Chikusa when -if- I see them?*

*You could tell Chikusa, I guess. But do **not** say anything to Ken. >.> He doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut*

grins at that *Alright*, she thinks as she unlatches herself from him. She was now fully assured of his return now. Her old Mukuro-sama...

's glance falls onto the Mist ring on her finger. And she thinks about her worries, and the conversation that she had with Tsuna in Italy

assuring her that she would still be one of his guardians along with Mukuro, now that he was physically free.

smiled. "Will you be heading back now? ... It's getting rather late."

adds, "Or would you prefer to stay over for the night? ^_^"

does want to stay over! ^^ She figures she'll text Kaoko-san that she'll be staying here for the night.

worried that the goons might attempt to break into the house with Kaoko sleeping, but then again, she'd feel sorrier for the men, really...

"... Yes! Um, that is... if it's okay with the boss for me to stay over?"

I'm sure he'll be fine with it. ^_^ You could take my room.

wanted to sleep <s>with</s> beside Mukuro, but nodded with that. "... alright, Mukuro-sama. But where will you sleep?"

Kufufu... With Tsunayoshi-kun, of course. >3

grins. "Hee. Of course ^^"

Well, let's go up then. ^__^

led the way up to the guestroom and held the door open for Chrome.

steps in and sits on the bed, bouncing on it a little. "Will you be going to the boss' room now?"

's questions will have to wait until morning. Or someday...

nods. "Good night, Chrome. ^_^"

Good night, Mukuro-sama ^^

closed the door, heading over to Tsuna's room.
