Chapter 2: And I'll follow

Chapter Two: The Boy Going Home

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 12

"Good morning Chrome~!" The brunette chirped happily, watching a purple-haired girl enter his room. The room wasn't too big yet wasn't too small, it had all the miscellaneous items for any young child to play with so the boy accepted the room. This boy with brown hair and honey-brown eyes who just woke up from his slumber was Sawada Tsunayoshi.

"Tsuna-kun...." Chrome smiles softly, pulling out an espresso-flavored cake with chocolate chips on one side of the cake. "I bought what you asked and here..."

Tsuna watches his friend named Chrome put the pastry down and started rummaging her bag. Examining her closer, Tsuna could tell that what Chrome wore was from a neighboring school close to his which was Namimori. The girl wore an eye patch and typed her hair differently, making her look similar to a pineapple. It seemed that she found the thing she was looking for when she muttered a happy "I found it", bringing out fifteen red candles to him.

"For your family feast in November." Chrome smiles to Tsuna, Tsuna smiles back while hugging her. As Tsuna keeps the candles inside his bag, he whistles, calling something out, but all that came in the room was fog.

"You're the best Chrome!" Tsuna claps happily then frowned, looking at the cake's size, it would certainly not fit in his brown school leather bag for sure.

"Natsu! Cosmo!" Tsuna called out, looking at the opposite side of Chrome. "Keep the cake for me please~?"

"Gao~!"

"Squeak!"

The two visible occupants giggled as the cake slowly disappear from sight. Finally the two relaxed, giving the room some silence until Tsuna jumps out of bed and pulls Chrome with him for a walk. "Papa Reborn's birthday is coming near so all my guardians went out to search for a perfect present for him."

"Papa Reborn?" Chrome's eyebrows furrowed, walking beside Tsuna in the hospital. "Mukuro-sama says that he's a scary hit man." Chrome nods to herself, Mukuro really did say that to her once and he had a somewhat-painful expression on his face then. "Besides, he's not blood related to you."

"Blood doesn't really count on the term family Chrome." Tsuna lets go of Chrome's arm knowing that they're near his favorite place to go to, the garden area. "Remember what Mama Luce and Papa Giotto said?"

"It's the thought that matters..." Chrome uttered, sensing a group of people far from them, also going towards Tsuna's favorite spot to relax. "Mukuro-sama says that 'they' will be coming today...Are you scared?"

"Nah~" Tsuna shrugs the stare off as he continues to walk faster to his area, not wanting anyone to beat him from his selected spot. "Papa already warned me. Saying that I will see my biological father soon or something like that..."

"I see..." Chrome smiles at Tsuna's care-free attitude, this boy who also held an ability similar to hers, but in a higher level...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chrome's Flash Back ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything was white, held within a white room filled with nothing, the only thing she could do was cry softly. Chrome knew that her electrocution was near.

"Death was just around the corner for her awhile ago.."  A man's deep voice was heard, leading Chrome to face that area, but saw nothing.

There they go again, those unknown figures speaking to her again. That's why her friends threw her in this hospital on the first place, how could she have trusted them to keep it a secret? Chrome thought that Mukuro was busy that's why he couldn't help her, achieving world destruction was a difficult thing to do after all.

"Poor child..." This time it was a woman's voice who spoke, its tone blended with the soft wind coming out of the air conditioner inside.

'Great.' Chrome thought, looking at herself suited in a straight jacket. "Now even ghosts are pitying me."

"Hurry Tsunayoshi-kun. There is a girl here!" Chrome was surprised with the volume of this third person who busted her prison's door open, seen as an orange blurry mist, it went closer to her and started to move around. Chrome watched it for a moment until someone visible broke her trance with the movements.

"Can you see them?" A brunette wearing a 27-shirt asked, standing beside the door. Chrome turns, seemingly unable to process what he just said.

"W-What?" Chrome's eyes widened as the brunette came closer to her, lights flickering on and off at the same time.

"Do you want to see them?" His innocent brown doe-like eyes looks at her as if analyzing her soul.

"Tsuna. You're creeping the girl out."

"Sesto's right Tsuna. Girl's get easily frightened, especially in ghosts."

"I-I..." Chrome looks around, peeking behind the boy's back where she sees orange-colored figures, about five of them, all visible, but blurry to see. "I wish to see."

"Then keep a royal promise with me then..." Chrome faces back at the brunette, surprised to see his eye color from brown change to orange, along with his forehead and hands shimmered with soft orangish-yellow flames. "I, Sawada Tsunayoshi, hereby give you the ability to see..."

Chrome didn't move a muscle, too shocked and amazed with the boy's capability to summon out flames in thin air. In her mind she knew that it wasn't an illusion and that she had to move away, that she had to escape it...But, she didn't. Watching the boy named Tsunayoshi press his flaming right hand on her forehead, he continued speaking calmly. "The beings beyond.."

Then everything suddenly went dark.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~End Of Flash Back~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since then, Chrome was able to utilize her six senses, but not properly and decided that she will go and look for the boy named Tsunayoshi, she's also doing this because clearly, she has seen his expertise in using psychic abilities and secretly wishes to learn more to impress Mukuro. Ken and Chikusa hesitated at first, knowing that Mukuro might not like this, but approved later on. When Chrome finally found the boy named Sawada Tsunayoshi, she was shocked to see a boy isolated in the classroom corner, sitting beside tons of Mafioso men that of course no one can see except her and him. Since Tsuna saw her in school and hasn't forgotten about the recent event, cheerfully invites her to his house and from then on considered her as a part of his 'family'. Oh and supposedly Mukuro would find out about Tsuna but she lied knowing that he could hurt Tsuna very badly if he finds out that Tsuna's part Vongola. She also did it to gain a new companion Tsuna summoned for her from the other side; he calls this creature a familiar or shikigami.

Originally it's real name, according to Tsuna, is Gufo di Nebbia ver. Vongola. A bird that could amplify the illusionist's ability with its indigo flames, but to what Chrome can see was just a cute snowy owl that she will definitely call as Mukurowl.

"TO THE EXTREME!!" A silver-head screams off, surprising the both Tsuna and Chrome, having bandages wrapped on his head, he was running as fast as an athlete. Tsuna turns back, seeing a girl wearing a nurse outfit with brown short hair come, chasing after the shouting injured teenager.

"Onii-san!! Your wounds!!" The girl screams off. Tsuna guessed that this was the Sasagawa family; One extremely hyper boxer though he seemed quite similar to his other Papa Knuckle and a petite school idol girl.

"Hey guys wait up!" Chrome looks at the teenager behind Tsuna, a man with jet black hair and an easy-going smile was seen on the inside but....Something seemed off, this person was the school's best baseball player so why does he have a cast on his arm?

"Oh hi Chrome! Tsuna~!" The man greeted them; Tsuna looks at the man closely, frowning at the sight.

'Why does he look like Papa Asari?' Tsuna closes his eyes, feeling the aura of sadness emitting from the older boy. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Nah~" The baseball player said, unknowingly releasing more blue invincible flames on both his two listeners. "I better go follow them then. Bye!"

When the teen went, Chrome faces Tsuna, looking somewhat worried. "Tsuna-kun?"

"Still haven't mastered your ESP huh?" Tsuna patted his friend's head. ESP is also known as Extrasensory perception, the ability which is beyond the five normal senses, if mastered could provide information of the present, past, future and end from alternate universes. Chrome is still an intermediate as for Tsuna...Well, mastery (just not using it that's all). 'Ruins the surprise of life,' Tsuna always says.

"Yes, he is miserable that he didn't die on his fall from the roof top and decides that he will learn the way of the Shiguren Soen Ryuu from his pops so he could remove his stress and etc.." Tsuna talks on without the need of breathing as they travel again, back to the location they were supposed to go. Once again they were blocked by a teenager looking very annoyed, must've been woken up in the wrong time by the noise.

"Anyone who wakes me up will be bitten to death." The man threatened with his black hair and silver eyes looking cool yet fierce, holding his metal tonfas out to them. Tsuna laughed heartily in the inside, making the two raise an eyebrow,  in question for Tsuna's cheerful face.

"Hibari-san..." Tsuna started, looking at his Papa Alaude's look-a-like but with different eye and hair color face him. "We only became noisy because of the new visitors, nothing more, nothing less."

"Hn..." Hibari looks away, knowing that what the herbivore said was right. Five months since the brunette started living here, the disciplinarian would see the boy awake in godly hours of the night, talking and watching the moon. If Hibari didn't know any better, he would have sent the brunette to a hospital, but he felt some unknown force breathing down his neck whenever he thinks of this idea. Hibari didn't like that so he ignored it instead. Anyways, Tsuna helps in with his disciplinarian paperwork sometimes when he gets a bit sleepy so the herbivore can stay.

"Just stay out of my way herbivore." And with that, Hibari went. Chrome and Tsuna then continued on to their destination again with no more interference....yet.

"Chrome? Tsuna-kun?"

Tsuna's eyes widened by the mere sound from the outside. Running towards it with as much speed as he can.

"Mama!!"

Chrome followed suit, catching the heart warming sight of a family get together. The woman wore white clothes as for the male is pure black. Tsuna was currently being snuggled by the lady with the white hat.

"Luce? Primo?" Chrome frowned, taking a step closer to the scene. "What are you doing here? If the others find out..."

"They won't mind." The blonde man named Primo replied, being hugged by Tsuna now. "I'll come back after this anyways..."

"I just came here to check on Cosmo..." The woman named Luce lied easily, pulling out a cute outfit similar to a tuxedo. "Oh Tsuna~! Look what I have~!"

"Another outfit?" Tsuna answered, unsure whether he was right or wrong.

"Yup! But you have to wear this in Papa Reborn's birthday okay?" Luce's eyes sparkled with determination, packing the clothes neatly inside Tsuna's bag. "We'll also deliver our presents in your room so you have to drag him there!"

"Un!" Tsuna's eyes sparkled as well, influenced by Luce not a doubt. The other two just glanced at each other with a weird look on their faces.

"Please keep an eye on Tsuna, Chrome." Giotto requested to the young purple-haired girl. "You know how he attracts attention to himself especially since that 'incident'...."

"Yes. You can count on me Primo." Chrome bowed gracefully, earning respect from the elder. "I just need to hijack the airplane that's all."

"Hijack a what?!" Luce looked at Chrome then at Primo, both were looking at different directions just to not face the angered woman. "Primo! What are you hiding from me-"

"They're coming! Bye bye!" Giotto covered Luce's mouth as he said this and immediately disappeared. Leaving the two alone inside the area.

"Vongola?" Chrome whispered, Tsuna nodded and counted to three. When it reached to one, they both ran back inside, back to Tsuna's room to act like innocent children one more.

New York City, United States of America

"Chaos." The tall hit man greeted. All of the things he wore were black themed from his suit all the way to his hair except for his inside which was a yellow long-sleeved polo and his fedora with a thick orange stripe that's entwined on the hat's cone. He also has a green chameleon sitting on his hat. The one in front of him was an old man, ranging from the ages of late-fifties to early sixties. This old man is none other than the current head of the most powerful Mafia Famiglia in the entire world, Vongola Ninth.

"Reborn..." The old man said in a calming manner, looking directly in the eye of the hit man. "I would like you to train the next Vongola Decimo."

"Oh?" The hit man called Reborn smirked. "Who is this next candidate of yours anyway Ninth?"

"That's a secret." The man answered back, standing up from his chair to look outside the window.

"So I'll only know the person if I accept this mission?" Reborn asked though the tone of his voice sounded so monotone.

The man looked back at the hit man and smiled back. "Yes."

"Hmph." The hit man tilted his fedora, watching as his pet chameleon slither to the other side of the hat's rim.

The old man, already knowing that the hit man has accepted this, headed towards the door. "If you agree then start packing your things. We're heading back to the Vongola manor."

"Coyote?" The Ninth called out to a man outside with a white mustache and hair that extends pass his shoulder, he also appears to have a steel arm on the left side of his body.

This man named Coyote came forth, bowing before asking the Ninth. "Yes, Ninth?"

"Get Fenichia ready for the flight."

Meanwhile, in Namimori

"We're here for Sawada Tsunayoshi." A man with short, brown hair and narrowed eyes said. This man wore a suit along with his female companion, both of them were at the receptionist's desk chatting with the nurse.

"His father Sawada Iemitsu ordered us to take him away." The female continued, having light brown hair, purple eyes, and wearing glasses.

"Oh! Right this way..." The nurse led them all the way to the second floor at the seventh room. As they walk pass through the doors though, children and adults alike started whispering things, saying something like 'The child's guardians here' or 'Are they like him?' type of quotes. The two took note of this and continued on with their guide.

When they finally reached the area, both of them were surprised to see the nurse step back and stuttered to them. "G-Good day..." She then bowed and walked very quickly, away from the room.

"I wonder what's wrong with her?" The man asked his partner, the female shrugs back.

"Our info says that Sawada Tsunayoshi is just a below average teen who would always get failing grades. Nothing more, nothing less..." The woman replied back, fixing her glasses to look at the door number: 27.

"You can come in if you want."

Both of them was shocked to see a small brunette open the door with his huge adorable brown eyes peeking at them. The boy wore a simple blue jacket with black pants, he had brown hair which defied gravity and has a petite body structure with chubby cheeks as if he was still a child.

"Tsunayoshi-kun!" The woman got startled, seeing the boy start to smile cutely. She hastily calmed herself down to examine the child and only one thing came to her mind. 'He is so cute~! What was Iemitsu thinking? Leaving an innocent boy behind with no guardians!'

"I am Turmeric and the woman beside me is Oregano." The man stated out as he watched Tsuna go back inside and come out with his huge brown bag. "And what is this?"

"You're here to take me to Papa right?" Tsuna's eyes glowed with innocence, making the two nearly utter an 'Aww~' at him. "I can't wait!"

"Okay! Okay!" Oregano said, holding the boy's hand with hers. "Let's go then."

"Yay~!" Tsuna cheered while his new escorts smile. As the three went outside the hospital, they didn't notice the small purple-haired girl with a pineapple hairstyle and is wearing a student uniform spy on them.

"You must be happy that you'll be able to see your friends again huh?" A man whispered to her ears. The man had pale blonde hair, blue eyes and a red tattoo on his forehead. He seemed translucent like a mirage, but the girl answered him with outmost trust.

"Yes, I am and oh! And Quinto?" Chrome faced the man named Quinto very creepily, making the man float back an inch or two. "I know you're ghosts and all, but please stop following me and Tsuna-kun ever again? I know that Simora is here too so kindly tell it to everyone up there will you?"

"I-I will..." Quinto murmured, having his friend appear from thin air as well. The new guest has dark gray hair, wearing a monocle and a light brown coat. He too seems unhappy.

"And why pray tell would we stop following our Decimo?" Simora didn't look amuse at Chrome's words, he also wasn't affected with the indigo aura spreading out of the girl's body.

"Because Tsuna-kun says so..." Chrome's violet eyes looked glassy when she said that, making the two men go quiet.

"Luce and Primo will check on him you know..." Quinto said, looking up towards the sky. "Even if we locked him in his room and tied him to the bed, he would always break free..."

"Let's not forget about that Giglio Nero boss that dresses him up everyday.." Simora shivered softly, the two agreed whole-heartily with him. 'That woman should never be made angry.'

"Fine! They're an exception, but the rest.." Chrome continued, watching the images flicker at her. "Can not visit!"

"Agreed." Then the men vanished magically, leaving the girl to start running towards the nearest airport.

"A little illusion should do the trick." Chrome said with a tint of mischievousness. As she said this, indigo flames covered her body. When it finally disappeared, a lady in her mid-twenties came out, wearing a black suit, she smiled softly. "Next stop...To Italy."

-------------------------Namimori Airport -----------------------------

From far away, Tsuna turned to face his escorts, he then smiled and turned back, entering the airplane he was going to ride in. 'Glad that you made it Chrome."

'Now..' The brunette looks around, analyzing the passengers aboard the airplane. Seeing that all of them had no ill intentions on him, he relaxed on his chair, eyes closing to take a cat nap. 'I can finally take some rest...'

And even though lots of people including the airplane attendants pass by him just say how adorable he is and how they want to squeeze the day living lights out of him, Tsuna was able to fall asleep.
