sits up and stretches. At least she's awake now. Her wounds don't sting so much anymore, the older Kyouya made sure of that.

if younger version was going to stay with Dino from now on. And on the advice the older one gave her, on not backing down and all

picks the pillows and blanket from the couch and searches around for Kaoko. If she was out, maybe she can finally finish her hitlist tonight

after visiting Mukuro-sama and the others at the boss' place, that is.

in the kitchen, whipping up a storm.

apparently has a penchant for experimenting in the kitchen after tinkering with her weapons.

hears someone in the kitchen as she comes down the stairs from returning pillows and blanket to her room.

"What are you making?" as she enters the kitchen.

Would you believe me if I told you that I don't know yet? :3

looks at the mess that was strewn all over the counter top, trying to guess based on the scattered ingredients "... probably" ^^;

chuckles. "This'll probably end up Greek. Definitely not Asian... unless some spices come in. Might be Indian."

east most anything, really. As long as it's not greasy. Preferably sweet. "I'd still like to try it, however it comes out"

All right.

By the way, Chrome...

Have you thought about enrolling in Namimori by next quarter?

... oh. Um, not really, no...

not even thought of school at all, despite wearing the Kokuyo uniform everyday. Not that she missed school, anyway...

Hmm.

Do you *want* to enroll in Namimori next quarter?

of going, *walking* to school with Kyouya, boss and the others.

It... appealed to her. Very much.

I think... I think I'd like to. Ah, I'd have to tell Mukuro-sama too, but I don't think he would mind it as well...

Just let me know then. I'll bully Kyouya into making enrolling easy for you~

Bully me into enrolling who?

just come around.

Hou. And the prodigal one has returned.

slips into one of the high chairs at the counter and doesn't comment.

Okaeri, Kyouya-san. And it's me. I'd like to study in Namimori.

in the middle of lighting up a cigarette when he heard what Chrome just said. The boy looks up, with one raised eyebrow.

mind her own kitchen & her own business to let these two sort it out (for now)~

cocks an eyebrow in response. "... it's logical, isn't it? Since I'm not staying in Kokuyo any longer."

Hm.

And... as part of the guardians, I have to be there to protect the boss. With the others. With you guys.

...can't argue with that, as much as he wants to. >_>

have to admit that his reasons for not wanting Chrome around are shallow, at best. And he does not believe in shallow.

...No matter how uncomfortable it makes me. <_<

finally lights up. "...Fair enough. I'll have it arranged."

surprised that Kyouya let that slide without as much as a peep of protest. Still, she was thankful that he did not argue.

Well! That makes things very convenient, doesn't it? :3

takes a drag from his cigarette rather than answer. He's got his gaze elsewhere, unaware of how distant his look is.

what Kyouya was thinking about with his far away look of his again. Probably something about Dino again.

... Kaoko-san, may I go and visit the boss' house first before dinner?

Of course. Tell him I said hi. :0

not been able to keep tabs on Iemitsu's kid. Too busy dealing with the Varia <s>and their brattiness</s>.

I will. Would you like to come with me, Kyouya-san?

...I'll pass.

not in the mood to see Mukuro. Sawada's one thing, but that pineapple freak is quite another.

nods "... okay," and starts to make her way out of the kitchen, stopping just before she totally exits.

"And... I know it wasn't the you *now* but... thank you for last night." And leaves, stopping by the hall table to grab her bag.

....EH?

spends a whole minute frozen in place, trying to make sense of what Chrome just said.

...finally puts out his cigarette, mumbles something to his aunt and leaves, chasing after the girl.

(switching threads! gimme a moment~)
