#mukurodrabble

But leaving for Namimori School was really good for Chrome, she made friends, realized the importance of herself, and got even stronger when she realized that she didn't need to depend on him.

So she believed that that was what Mukuro wanted for her and why he pushed her away, for her to be her own person. But one day, when she decided to return to Kokuyo land, missing Ken and Chikusa, but also Mukuro, what she received wasn't a welcome or even a nice word, it was the scowl of the Male Mist Guardian.

"Nagi, I thought I said for you not to return."

His cold words made her shiver as she blinked in confusion. But she was ready for that, in a way, she even expected him to say that. Mukuro-sama, I get it, you wanted me to be my own person, to live for myself and I'm doing it. That is why I'm here, I missed you guys. But I'm not staying.

"That is not it. You are not welcome here anymore, I don't care if you are your own person."

That felt like cold ice water had been dumped on her, as she now didn't understand why he was doing that. If that wasn't it, why would he throw her away? Did she lose all the valor or utility for him? What was the reason for him to throw her away?

Did he really only use her? Mukuro-sama, I can't understand... Did you really just use me? And now that you are free you decide to just throw me away like that? Her voice broke as she spoke that to him, not entirely sure what she expected as an answer.

Did Mukuro really want to have this talk? No. To be honest, he had Nagi in high regard, she felt like the humanity he lost, and she was the reason for him to keep himself alive and sane, to work for the better, and no matter how dirty his hands got to make the world better. Mukuro was willingly working with Vongola exactly because of Nagi.

But that also meant that she was his weakness, Rokudo Mukuro's weakness was a girl who was one year younger than him and had a high resemblance in appearance and powers.

More importantly though, because of how much he valued the girl, he didn't want her to get her hands dirty, he didn't want her to see the dirty world around them, the dark world that is the Mafia. He wanted her far away. After all, Rokudo Mukuro knew better than anyone else, how much work the Decimo Vongola would have from now on, to clean the Mafia and the Vongola per se.

So it was better if the girl was around Sawada Tsunayoshi who would keep her hands clean and protect her innocence than staying with him, who would only get his hand dirtier and bloodier now. As he looked at the girl, he couldn't show any sight of what he was thinking, if he needed to lie to her, if he needed to hurt her to keep her away from him, then... So be it. "Yes. You are right. I have no use for you."

You... Are lying! Chrome said loudly at him, as she walked towards him, looking into mismatched eyes, with her only one. She would know better than anyone else. After all, they were bonded together. She may not understand why or how, but she knew very well, their souls were bounded together. Mukuro-sama, please! Just tell me the truth. I know you are lying!

“You Still Don’t Get It.” Mukuro really didn't want to talk about it, but as she was his only weakness, it was also the only place he felt like himself, the only place where he could be fully vulnerable.

Then make me understand! I think... I think I deserve to know!

Taking a deep breath, heterochromatic eyes closed and tried to relax and think with a clean mind. Yet nothing came to his mind, maybe... Maybe it was time to fully explain it... Or maybe not. "I can't. Nagi, don't..."

You said for me to fight for what I think is right! So I'm, I won't leave until you explain to me!

Mukuro's face now mirrored the sorrow and sadness he was feeling, as he couldn't keep it going. He couldn't keep that façade going, he needed to explain. "Our souls, are intertwined. We were supposed to either be born together as siblings or meet each other after a few years and date, having a romantic relationship. This time, apparently we were supposed to be siblings but fate decided to not let that happen. So we were born in different families."

As the Male Mist Duo started to talk, he couldn't keep looking at the younger face. "I don't want you to get involved in my revenge against Mafia, I don't want you to dirty your hands. But also... You are my weakness. If anything happens to you... I... Don't think I can keep myself sane or even human. So please Nagi... Keep yourself away from me."

The Female Mist Duo looked at him and sighed, now understanding his worries and fears, she gently placed her hands over his cheeks, making him look at her. But that also means... We are strong together. I'm not going anywhere. Please Mukuro-sama... Just give us a chance to talk about this.

Her gentle pleas and touch, were enough to break him, a sad smile, as he placed one of his gloved hands over hers. He couldn't push her away anymore, closing his eyes as he nodded. "Okay."

Hibari Kyoya also hated with everything within him a man called Rokudo Mukuro his hate came from a lost battle that he never accepted as he thought that illusions were cheap cheats and so that his loss shouldn't have been counted.

With that said there was one more certainty about Hibari Kyoya.

Hibari Kyoya was obsessed with keeping the order and the building of Namimori High School perfect. As the head prefect, he made sure that everything was smooth that every student followed the rules, and even kept the troublesome students in check.

Students were scared of him, and adults feared him and respected him. The school was sacred and if Hibari Kyoya wasn't in the school he was at his home, only in those two places. Sometimes he was found in the streets, subjugating scoundrels from another school who talked bad about his school.

"His school", because Namimori High School was his, and no one else. The order to keep it running as smoothly as possible was for him and no one else. The head prefect kept tabs on all students and professors, even if they came from Kokuyo.

Dokuro Chrome, the new girl, the newly transferred student. She came around a few months back and while Hibari had everything against a certain illusionist, he had nothing against the girl.

The girl was shy, often quiet, and introverted, and the only people she talked to sometimes were Sasagawa Kyoko and Tsuna, she did absolutely nothing against him. So there was no reason for Hibari Kyoya to have resentments or not help her if she needed to.

So that is why, that is the only reason why, he was currently carrying Chrome's body all across the city to Kokuyo land. The place he vowed never ever step in again, the place he knew that the pineapple illusionist would be, the place that the person he hated the most would be.

Taking a long breath as his weapons were secured between his skin and his shirt still, making sure that Chrome was comfortable in his arms. There was only one reason for him to bring her back there, especially now that she was using the Namimori female uniform.

He kicks the door to the grand theater where he finds the Male Mist Guardian. We need to talk. Does Hibari actually want to talk with Mukuro? Never. But is he going to? Yes. Looking around there weren't many places he could let Chrome's body rest other than the floor and that? He wasn't going to do it. Instead, he was just going to hold Chrome's body.

"Oya Oya, what a great honor ~"

Hibari was annoyed just by looking at Mukuro's smug face, but he tried to control it as best as he could. Why did you leave her? What was the use of talking with the Illusionist? There was no reason for Hibari to go out of his way to talk with the other, he had no noble reason.

"Because she has no more use" Yet something twisted inside of him when he heard that answer, he felt somewhat pissed at Mukuro, still trying to control his anger though. You sure are full of bullshit huh?

"What do you mean?" The satisfaction of seeing Mukuro confused was short-lived, after all, his blood was slowly boiling at the other's words, sure Hibari felt annoyed and angry with the Illusionist every time he saw him, but this time, it was because of the girl still in the Cloud's arms. There is no way, you would leave someone as strong as her. So why did you leave her and pushed to Namimori?

Mukuro was annoyed, not only he wasn't sure what the Cloud Guardian wanted, but he was also not sure where this conversation was going. Not only that, it felt like Hibari knew something and wasn't telling, but instead, he was showing it. And his pride? Couldn't handle that. "... For a cloud you sure are curious."

Hibari shook his head, walking towards the door and letting Chrome's body there, going back to the middle and then pulling his tonfas out. Rokudo Mukuro, fight me. His blood was boiling, it would be better explaining in a fight than in words between the two.

Confusion hit the Illusionist, in a way it took way too long for Hibari to ask for a fight so now he was really not sure. There were so many questions going around in his mind. He couldn't help but voice one of them. Why? It wouldn't be entertaining

Without a warning, Hibari advanced towards Mukuro, intending to hit his body with the tonfa, not using any cloud as they always went only physical power from the starter. Yet where normally they both once held the same grounding, seemed like something changed drastically, as Mukuro was getting hit by the tonfa.

The illusionist frowned at that, the physical between them was balanced in that aspect so, losing to him in that sucked a lot. He felt annoyed, as he kept trying and trying to wing against those dammit Tonfa! But all he could get was either get hit or not landing his own hits. That is when he started to use the Mist Flames and illusions.

And even then, the Cloud Guardian used both flames, and yet the results kept being the same, as Hibari was dodging or ignoring the attacks. Something changed and bad, as Mukuro was losing to Hibari.

You are weaker. Hibari said once he stopped at a safe distance, not even sweating, something in his made Mukuro scowl, not liking any bit of it. "What?" His voice came out bitter as he tried another attack, only to be met by Kyoya's tonfa hitting the side of his stomach.

You were stronger before, now? Now you are weaker. That statement made the Cloud, hold his weapons back to the place he normally hides in his clothes as he looks at Mukuro, shaking his head.

"... How?" Hibari saw how much Mukuro was hurt about the difference between them now, but there was room for the Illusionist to get on equal grounds again. Although Hibari hated to ask for help, he knew he wouldn't create that big gap between them if it wasn't for that Bronco or the fights between Vongola and the rest. And he intended to pay back, every single one who "helped" him. You never realized it? You need Chrome the same way she needs you.

Hearing that, the Cloud jumped from the place he was and then closed his eyes, as the illusion that hit him didn't affect him. "That is a lie! I don't need her!" The frustration built up on the Illusionist's face, not only his pride being hurt but the fact because he didn't want to bring Chrome to his revenge he was weaker? He wouldn't be able to act his revenge without her?! That was bullshit!

But you do and until you realize it? There is no reason to fight you. Hibari opens his eyes and lands a kick in Mukuro's stomach, making the Illusionist fly back to the couch he was sitting before. Until you realize that...

"There is no one else to turn to..." Mukuro says the words as he sits down, hands over his face as he hears Hibari leaving. "Fuck." His shoulders fall, as the whole fight disappears from him as he thinks over and over about Hibari's words. The Cloud was right, if he wanted to be stronger to where no one could defeat him, he needed Chrome, but how that is fair? How is fair to drag an innocent girl to Mafia?! Just so he could get his revenge?!

A grunt, made him look at the girl's body, slowly moving to sit down. Mukuro took a deep breath, the talk he had previously with the female made him realize one thing. "You knew..."

Chrome blinked as she took her surroundings, getting up and walking towards Mukuro, stopping in front of him, as she nodded. Yes. I got stronger when I realized there was no one else to turn to, only Mukuro-sama. When we work together we are stronger. If we get along, we might be the strongest. But if we keep separated? I'm not sure...

The words of the younger illusionist hit him, similar to what the Cloud just said. "....... Why he?" He couldn't understand why Hibari would take his time to go there and even bring Chrome with him, he could understand Hibari going there to fight him, but all he read from the whole interaction was that Hibari was there to actually help him.

Because the idea of you being weak annoys him... He wants a fair fight, he wants the best you can be... Chrome points out the fact that before she passed out, she did fight Hibari a little, where he probably noticed the difference. Or something small, yet the girl didn't expect him to carry her all the way there. But knowing the Cloud, that whole act made her realize how the older actually cares and takes care.

"... We need to talk." Mukuro words sounded dejected and tired, but holding the acceptance and even opening a connection. Yes, we do. Chrome nods and just sits next to him on the couch, as they really had a lot to make amends and to bond together if they wanted to be their best, they would need to talk... And a lot.

Hibari looked back at the entrance of Kokuyo land, he was prideful and never asked for help, he hated a man called Rokudo Mukuro, but sure he was obsessed with keeping his school organized and in order.

Hibari did notice from time to time how much Mukuro was different around Chrome, quite honestly, it was only around her that he was different. Less sarcastic, less asshole, more gentle, more calm, more nice.

Weirdly enough one day Hibari asked why Mukuro was like that, and why it seemed that he was worse only around him, and the answer that Hibari got was pure: Only around you. It was easy to see though, that even if they were enemies Mukuro never actually hurt the Cloud Guardian after their first fight.

The same could be said about the Cloud hurting the Mist, even when they clashed years and years later, they didn't hold serious injuries, it was actually "friendly". Mukuro only used the illusion power in the first fight and that was it, after that all his fights with Hibari were purely strength.

And even then they kept tying each time, much to the skylark's bad mood.

Even when older, working for Sawada Tsunayoshi, they still kept fighting whenever they had the chance and still kept tying no matter what. Without any flames, they were both equal but with flames? They completed each other styles very well.

No matter what type of mission, if Mukuro and Hibari were sent together? You can be sure that it will be completed in a short time and with perfection, they both argued a lot, they tried to fight at every chance, and they kept tying, but they were still on "good" terms with each other.

So, now at 25 years old, when Mukuro was asked why he keeps being an asshole only around the Cloud guardian he couldn't help and chuckles. Only around you ~. Truth to be told, Mukuro changed with anyone, other than Hibari, so that was more truer than ever. And you like it. That is how they ended up sparring once again.

What they could never expect was what happened in the next mission.

Sent together, it seems that a leak in information happened, as everything went wrong, cornered and with each other back to back, that was a position they rarely get. They fought, keeping their synchronism practiced from so many years of spares against each other, what they didn't expect was the room to be filled with gas.

As Mukuro frowns at that, he smirks, making an illusion and then working with the Cloud to get the hell out of that room, as they both fleed before the gas could make any effect. When they were far away, Hibari was annoyed. "I didn't need your help! Also, we didn't need to flee!"

Oh, shush, everything ends well. Now come on, let's go back to the base and regroup. Mukuro's voice felt weird for the Cloud as Hibari frowned and watched better. "Sure when you get your body here."

Surprised showed in the mist's face as he blinked a few times and smirked. Oh, you got better.

"Whatever, where is your body?"

There was no answer, and Mukuro smirked. You see. I can't really answer that. Anyway, let's say you owe me one okay? Now get back and regroup. Only around you, huh? He blinks and then disappears.

The surgery was said to be a success, the organs were placed and so far it wasn't refusing it, taking the medication post-surgery so her body wouldn't refuse it, Chrome was surprised to feel her organs without them being an illusion. That was weird to her mind. Probably because by now it's been at least 8 years that she was used to having illusion organs.

Which is probably why, even with the medication, her body was slowly refusing the organs. Her mind was too used to doing the illusion organs so now that she didn't have to, she was having a hard time adjusting it.

"Chrome-chan, please?" She could hear her boss pleading as if she could do anything about it, it's been 8 years since the illusion organs were part of her life! What did he expect her to do? To turn off that side of her brain that controlled the illusions?

She coughs and takes a deep breath, staying in the hospital as she looks at the sky outside. Maybe she wasn't supposed to have a normal body? What was she supposed to do?

"Nagi." That called her attention as she frowned slightly looking at the Male Mist Guardian. Mukuro-san?

It was rare for the older be there, since a few years ago, they didn't have a perfect relationship anymore, distant and the occasional talk was short, avoiding each other almost.

"Yes. Do you want my help?" That wasn't what she expected to hear, as the one who woke up her powers, he could help her control it so she would stop doing the illusions organs, but did she want his help? Why now?

That was the biggest question, wasn't it? Why now the Male Mist Guardian, is there? Why now he was offering his help? Quite honestly she couldn't understand him anymore. There was so much she couldn't understand, and if he was there maybe now, they could talk about it?

"Because... I never wanted to hurt you, Nagi. I wanted you to find yourself. Not Nagi the person abandoned by her father, not Chrome the illusionist born to share herself with me. But you. Yes, I left you, but all I wanted was to you be your own person."

Hearing those words, she could understand his reason, not to be a puppet or a shadow of him, but herself. Yet, that hurt her too much as she felt abandoned by the only person she felt like she could trust. As it was time for her medication and a nurse brought it, she sighed and took it.

I... Accept your help, but we have a lot to talk about... She wasn't going to let him escape this time. They would figure out a way to fix their relationship. No matter what.

"Of course, Nagi." He would stay there at her side, to control the illusions and help her turn off that habit, that way the organs would stop being rejected by her body, as well as talk, because quite honestly.
