Chapter 26: Best and Worst Birthday Presents Ever!

This year Tsunami was going to the Fall Gathering; which is during Tsunami's birthday. So her friends decided to throw her an early surprise party! With Reborn as well of course, Tsunami would have wanted it. Her friends told Nana of their plans and she was so happy that they wanted to celebrate her daughter's birthday with her. Now that Nana knew ahead of time, she wanted to prepare all of Tsunami and Reborn's favorite dishes. Bianchi provided all of Reborn's favorites and offered her assistance. Hayato quickly shot his sister down and quickly came up with a plan to keep Tsunami distracted and away from the house. With the preparation of the party decided, next was the important thing, finding a present for Tsunami.

Xanxus lounges on a sofa staring at the ceiling. Though his body was lax his mind was running all over. Tsunami was having an early birthday. If she was any other person, he wouldn't care. But, Tsunami was bringing out feelings in him that he didn't think he would have for a teenage girl at his age. It was a month and some weeks since he started living with the Sawada for Zen therapy as he called it. Eventually, he had stopped fighting with Tsunami. The breathing exercises were starting to work on him.

The other day, Lambo jumped across the table to attack the last pancake and knocked over his cup of coffee into his lap. He yelled and jumped to his pain. The kitchen became quiet with everybody's eyes on him, except for Nana who went about scrambling for towel. Lambo quivered in fear. The coffee wasn't too hot and the pain went away quickly. Xanxus' hands were clenched before he starts breathing and relaxes his hands. After fifteen breathes, Nana found a towel and hand it to Xanxus. Xanxus cleans himself and the mess on his chair and table and calmly sat down. He glared at Lambo and ordered him to sit down. Lambo quickly did as he was told. Tsunami looked like she had wanted to cry with happiness! After breakfast, Tsunami told him how proud she was of him. She couldn't believe the progress he had made so quickly! So overjoyed, she reached for his face and pulled it low enough to bless a kiss on his brow. Something so innocent and sweet made Xanxus blush. He pushed her away and stomped off in embarrassment. He growled when he had heard Tsunami's giggles.

In a short amount of time, Tsunami had tamed him. The wrath that he held in heart had been melted away by her soul that night she defeated him. That may have cut his temper by a half. Tsunami was different Xanxus supposes. The girls or rather woman he had encountered were nothing more than tools. Tools used to get back at an enemy or to ease his carnal desires when violence wasn't enough to relieve stress. He never bothered getting to know a woman. Of course, being sealed inside an ice prison the majority of your life is to blame as well. Yet, being under the same roof as the one who had defeated, who was younger than he was and half-human, he had the time to get to her. She really wanted to help him and was by his side whenever possible between Reborn's training, her school work and spiritual training. Besides meditation, both found play-fighting to be therapeutic for the both of them. She was a tough brat.

Tsunami already had her feral week this month. That was an experience. Her boys,' particularly Hayato, tried to dissuade him from following them to some abandoned amusement park. Nobody (but maybe Tsunami…and sometimes her mother) can tell him what to do. Tsunami didn't say he couldn't go so he followed. Xanxus admitted to himself seeing her feral form did make him nervous. In that form, she nearly torn him apart that night she discovered Timeteo. Feral-Tsunami locked onto him and stuck to him like glue. It didn't escape his attention that Tsunami's shirt and bra were ripped off. Damn. They were beautiful. Tsunami was 200% honest with her feelings because she was much affectionate than usual. She kissed his neck as she prepared to feed from him. When she fed from him they watched each other. Red eyes on red eyes. Hell, that was the most arousing experience he ever felt. He never desired a girl so badly in that moment and she smiled with her fangs in him and moaned. She knew what he was feeling.

'Fuck!' Xanxus closes his eyes and grits his teeth. 'That tease! Such a damn tease!'

No wonder all the boys trail after her, not caring about each other. So long as they get to be close to that girl! That ticked Xanxus off! It made him angry because of his pride. He didn't want to be some lovesick puppy chasing Tsunami's tail along with the rest of those kids!

'….Did she have a tail?' Xanxus' thoughts trailed off.

A giggle above him makes his eyes snap open. Speak of the devil bat. Tsunami tilts her head, smiling that angelic smile with those big, brown eyes.

"What are you thinking about so hard, Xanxus?"

"…Thinking about how much you drive me crazy."

"What? Me?" Tsunami frowns.

"Yeah…you."

"How?"

Xanxus clicks his tongue, "Like you don't know!"

Tsunami tilts her head to the other side and seems to be thinking hard herself. Reaching up with one arm, he grabs her around her neck and yanks her face down. They were now eye to eye.

"Get a whiff."

Tsunami's nose flares and her eyes darken. She even had the decency to blush! Tsunami pulls away and shivers.

"Oh!"

"You're pissing me off…go away!" Xanxus rolls onto his side.

He feels her hand comb into the back of his head and down to the nap of his neck. He sighs. No wonder the Rain brat melted to the floor. The feeling of heaven slides away from him and he could hear her walk away and climb up the stairs.

'What am I going to give her for her birthday?' Xanxus wonders.

Afterschool, Kensuke runs after Tsunami before she had left with Takeshi and Hayato. Kyoya was at his usual post watching over the students leaving for school. Kyoya and Hayato glare at Kensuke as he stops before Tsunami.

"Hey, Tsunami-chan!" he smiles.

"Hello, Mochida-sempai."

Kensuke reaches into his shoulder bag and pulls out a wrapped package.

"Here!"

"F-for me?"

"Yeah, I remembered your birthday! I happen to run into to Kyoko and Ryohei…they told me that you'll be visiting family during your birthday. So I got you a little something."

"Sempai, this is very nice of you, thank you."

It was a small box that fitted in the palm of Tsunami's hand. The ribbon is pulled and the paper spreads away from the box. It looks like a ring box. Hayato handles the wrapping paper and ribbons allowing Tsunami to open the box. The gift was a ring. A ring that the silver band was designed to form the wings of a bat with the bat's head on top of the band with a costume jewelry ruby in its mouth. Kensuke still associates bats with Tsunami.

"I can't seem to separate bats from you. Maybe it's your spirit animal."

Tsunami laughs, "Actually, my family's symbol is a bat."

"R-really?" Kensuke was surprise. "You know…maybe we can talk about it more together sometime! I really would like to get know you more."

"Yes, I wouldn't mind. I would like to be friends with you."

Kensuke smiles softly and nods, "I would like that too for starters."

"Thank you, sempai."

"You're welcome, happy birthday!"

Kensuke turns but Takeshi stops him.

"Actually, sempai, can you walk Tsu-chan home?"

"What?!" Hayato yells.

"Yeah, remember there's something that we need to get!"

Hayato glares at Takeshi and clicks his tongue, "Fine. That is if you're okay with him, Boss?"

Tsunami shakes her head. Kensuke is beaming.

"Thanks, Yamamoto! Don't worry I'll take care of her!"

"Just go to her house and don't go in!" yells Hayato.

Takeshi chuckles and pulls Hayato away. Kyoya growls which Tsunami gives him a pleading look. He snorts and returns to his duties. Takeshi and Hayato leave while Kensuke and Tsunami walk home.

On the way home to Tsunami's house, Kensuke learned a bit about Tsunami. He had heard rumors of Tsunami being able to see ghost since she was little. Tsunami confirmed it and explained that for a long time her family communicates with ghosts in order to help them find peace. Ghosts are very real to them. Tsunami also tells him that she was chosen by her grandfather to take over the family. Kensuke couldn't believe how much responsibility Tsunami had. No wonder she was always practicing at graveyards and temples. He now had newfound respect for Tsunami. Arriving at her house, Kensuke was tempted to ignore Hayato's warning, especially when Tsunami offered him warm tea before he made the trip home. That was until some horribly scarred man appeared behind her and glared down on him. The fires of hell were burning within his red eyes. Tsunami turns around to look up at the man and greets him cheerfully. The man greets her back but doesn't take his eyes off Kensuke.

"Want to come in for tea?"

"….Um, it's okay…it's going to get dark really fast so…I'll see ya' later!"

Kensuke briskly walks out of her yard. Tsunami sighs and pouts. He shrugs.

Tsunami woke up late in the morning. Glancing at her clock she screams. Why didn't her alarm go off?! Why didn't Reborn kick or blow her up out of her bed?! She was going to be late for school. She yells for her mother and asked why she didn't wake her up?

"Ara….I was distracted this morning!"

"Mama!" Tsunami complains.

After pulling on her school clothes, she bolts out of her room and rushes down the stairs. It had been awhile since she tumbled down the stairs. She yelps and crashes onto the floor of the stairs. Groaning in pain, she slowly rolls off her back and sits up.

"BOSS!" Hayato screams.

"Hayato-kun? You were here all this time?! Do you know how late it is?!...And why are you not wearing your school clothes?"

Hayato helps her to her feet. Tsunami was surprised when he next covers her eyes and guides her to the kitchen. A few seconds later he pulls apart his hands and Tsunami gasps at the sight.

All her friends including Xanxus, Dino and a few of his men were packed into the kitchen where for breakfast all her favorite foods she liked to taste were on the table. There were also some items that were not Japanese food…they must be for Reborn.

"What…?"

"Happy birthday Tsunami and Reborn!"

There was weight on her head and looking up it was Reborn.

"Grazi…" he looks down smiling, "Happy birthday, Tsunami."

Tsunami becomes teary eyed, "Happy birthday, Reborn…and thank you everyone!"

It took a few minutes for Tsunami to stop crying before they were able to dig into her large birthday breakfast. In the middle of breakfast, there was a knock on the door. Nana answers it and leads Squalo and her brother Bram into the dining area. Squalo's eyes widen as well as Dino's.

"M…m…Morgana!"

"V-voiiiii! It's Squalo!"

"W-what are you doing here?"

"I came back," Squalo folds her arms. "I was just visited home and my family to show them that I was still alive. This is my brother, Bram."

Squalo speaks in her fae-language to Bram. Bram looks between her and Dino and makes an inquiry. Squalo yells at him with a tinge of a blush. Dino stood up and trips over the kids. Romario and the other Chiavarone men were stunned. Squalo frowns.

"What's the matter with you?"

Dino was back on his feet yet continues to trip and stumble as he makes his way to Squalo. He grabs her hands firmly enough that Squalo couldn't pull away. She shrinks away from his penetrating gaze.

"You're coming back?"

"F-for Xanxus and the Varia! Voi, let go!"

"No! I have something I want to ask you!" he brings her hands to his lips and kisses both of her hands.

"Dino!" she was really red now.

Xanxus watches with an arched brow and smirks seeing Squalo was flustered and acting so girly. Dino keeps a steady gaze on her cool-gray eyes.

"Squalo, I'm in love with you."

The girls and women in the room gasp and blush. Dino's familgia did the same! Squalo opens and closes her mouth.

"Please do me the honor and be my girlfriend."

Squalo sputters, "What?!"

"Please."

"Y-you idiot! Dumbass! You're just…you're just under the influence of my enchantment."

"You have been gone for over a month. My feelings have not left me."

"S-top speaking like a poet!" Squalo roars.

"Please, be with me."

"Shut up!"

"Please!"

"Be silent, stupid horse!"

"I love you," Dino whispers.

"I'm not human!" Squalo continues to protest.

"I love you!"

"Stop saying that!"

"…Squalo, before you left into the sea, you kissed me. Why?"

Squalo looks away from Dino and realizes that they had an audience. Her boss was smirking as he was enjoying the show. She gives a dirty look before Dino's hand turns his face back on to him, still expecting an answer. Squalo shook her head.

"I kissed you…I kissed you because in that damn moment…I realized that you could have kept me by keeping my coat. You gave me my coat and took me home…and then you asked me if I would come back. You could have force me to stay…you gave me an option to leave or stay. I think I did felt a little something."

"Please be with me! I want to make that feeling stronger…"

"Such a damn sap!" Squalo whispers. "F-fine….we can try for a little while…"

Dino grins happily and wraps his arms around her. He proclaims his love for her over and over. Their audience claps and whistles. Nana, Bianchi and Haru looked like they were going to cry. Xanxus even raises his bottle of beer in a small, quiet toast. Squalo lets him hug for a minute before she pushes him off. Bram was grinning and he speaks. Squalo growls at him. Bram turns Dino to him and hugs him strongly and says something again.

Squalo crosses her arms, "He's welcoming you to the family…don't get your hopes up! We're only dating….I doubt it will evolve into something so permanent."

Dino was released and he smiles softly, "I will make sure that it does grow into something binding."

"Idiot!" she hisses.

It was time for presents! Tsunami felt that she was being spoiled. She apologized to Reborn. She didn't know that their birthdays were going to be celebrated so early. Reborn reassured her that she will make it up to him. She was going to take him as a guest to her Gathering. Tsunami protested but Reborn argues that it wouldn't matter. He was a baby. Nana thought it was sweet that Reborn didn't want to leave with Tsunami!

Back to presents! From Hayato, he created a CD of his piano playing, including the song he made for her on White Day. Tsunami was so excited with Takeshi's present. It was a limited edition of a game that she wanted! Lambo, Fuuta and Ipin made their present for Tsunami. It was a huge poster that was taller than Fuuta of a colorful drawing of her along with the children. It was promised to them that the poster would be put on her wall. Ryohei and Kyoko came together with a lovely hat with gloves to go with them. Kyoko let it be known that Ryohei had wanted to give Tsunami boxing gloves! Haru's gift was a lovely framed blown-up image of Tsunami and Chrome kissing. Both girls of the image blush at the large-scale picture. Xanxus was surprised. He didn't know that Tsunami was bisexual! Tsunami explained that it just happened and she didn't mind it. It still stunned Dino! Chrome didn't have anything substantial, something that could be held. But Mukuro assured her that it is the thought that counts. Chrome and Mukuro's gift to Tsunami was a kiss. A deep kiss that lasted for a minute until Dino couldn't take it and pulls Chrome away. Blushing, he explains that boy or girl he wouldn't allow his little sister's chastity to be threatened.

"Should I tell him?" Hayato grins slyly.

Takeshi shakes his head rapidly, "B-but I didn't break it! Sempai did it!"

Bianchi found a collection of shirts. Shirts that Tsunami recognized would be perfect to wear with her wings! How thoughtful and fashionable. Dino's gift to Tsunami was a very expensive looking charm bracelet. Dino had a couple of charms to start her off: a charm of the Italian flag, the Japanese flag, a charm with a lion on it and another charm of a bat. Tsunami handled the bracelet with such care, afraid she might scratch it. Squalo's present to Tsunami was actually a gift of thanks. It was a velvet bag of pearls. The white pearls were beautifully iridescent. Reborn hands her coupon pass for her to borrow Leon for a day. She thanks Reborn and kisses Leon. To Tsunami and everybody's shock, Xanxus had a gift for her! Xanxus' gift was in a gift bag. Tsunami looks into the bag and reaches inside. Her eyes widen and she blushes.

"Xanxus!"

Xanxus shrugs, "What…it looked nice." He looks at her grinning.

Tsunami pouts and closes the bag tightly, tying the ribbon-like handles into knots.

Nana was the last to give her gift. Her gift to her daughter was in an envelope. It had come through the mail; the sender was from the local hospital. Tsunami frowns and looks up at her mother confused. The envelope had already been open. Nana had read it already. Tsunami pulls out the paper packed inside and reads. Her eyes widen and they dart across the paper over and over. She cries aloud and hugs her mother. Nana laughs and hugs her daughter.

"Awwww, are you happy?"

Tsunami sobs and nods her head against her mother's chest. Nana sees the confused faces and grins.

"I'm pregnant!"

At the gathering there was great excitement. Death is their business, but life is recognized just as strongly. Pups are born in their clan every day by it is still a joyful occasion, especially if it's from one of Buiiro's daughters. Nana's mothers fuss over her, sharing their hopes of another granddaughter or grandson. Tsunami didn't have a preference for having either a brother or a sister. She already had experience with Fuuta, Lambo and Ipin.

The clan was happy to finally celebrate Tsunami's birthday this year. Being that she had skipped that gathering last year they were throwing a huge banquet for her. Much to Tsunami's embarrassment and her protests were brutally ignored. One thing Tsunami did appreciate was that she wasn't being chased around by over flirtatious males. They were very decent to her. Young male Tejinaka, non-related, only spoke to her when spoken to by her. Curious, she asked one of her cousins. Their response was to smile nervously, change the subject or the common reply, "I don't know…" along with a shrug. Chikusa and Ken seemed to know. But all they could tell her was she wasn't going to like it and it was best for her to ask her grandfather. Buiiro sighed heavily when Tsunami asked what was going on with the males. He had Tsunami follow him into middle shrine built within the cavern. Once they were alone he has her sit in the candle-lit room. Being that they were bats, there wasn't a need for any sort of lighting. The candle lights were more for Lord Mori's vision.

"Tsunami, I was sort of backed into a corner by the clan."

"You?"

"There are strengths in numbers. It also helps then when you have all three of your wives flank you," he grumbles. "Well, when I had visited you last, I realized that you are very, very close to a few of your friends. Your scent, your musk is on your friends so strongly and from it I can tell you have been intimate with one or more of them. Particularly the boxer and Yamamoto Takeshi. The girl with the eye-patch was surprise. Anyway, I shared my observations with various members. It has drawn out the older generation's concerns."

"What kind of concerns," Tsunami frowns.

"Being that I have chosen you to take over the clan, they believe that it is best for you to have a mate that is..." Buiiro takes a deep breath. "Not human. Even within the animal kingdom there is a hierarchy and a desire to be at the top. You're the first potential heir I have chosen to take my place. You are growing more powerful in your spirituality and will surpass me. Certain members of the clan want to be a part of your legacy. They want you to mate with someone within the clan and there are dozens upon dozens of males that they want to push onto you. You have a few male humans; they at least want you to select one non-human bat to be with you."

Tsunami growls lowly. An animal-like growl.

"Since you are half-human, it was assumed that you have a stronger attraction to humans than your fellow bats. They took it into consideration and decided that if the young males court you the human way that you would find one of them much appealing. The typical way hasn't worked at all here. You never gave any one of them a chance!"

Tsunami pouts.

"So, to this the human way we decided to have an omiai."

"An omiai?! That's…"

"The clan is trying to find you a mate. A steady mate…" Buiiro sighs, again, "A husband. You will have a formal meeting with a potential mate and spend a day with him. The clan wanted longer…but, for the males' safety I figured you would prefer at least a day a week with a different male. I'm sorry, Tsunami."

"Worst birthday present, ever."

After receiving the worst birthday present ever given to her, Tsunami didn't want to face the rest of her clan and family for a little bit, staying hidden within temple. She sensed the familiar soul presence of her uncle, Yoyori. Her uncle caught her attention by how low in spirit he was. Yoyori was sad, no depressed. She seeks him out and found him in a room to himself with a tall bottle of sake in the grip of his hand and a deep dish sake cup. He was lying on his stomach, his face hidden in the "L" of his arm. His usually professionally gelled hair was a ruffled bedhead mess. Wordlessly, she kneels beside him and puts a hand on his back. Yoyori groans lowly.

"Oh, how I envy you and your generation of this decade, Tsunami. You're of a generation that is becoming more and more open-minded when it comes to what the hearts wants and desires. I remember growing up in times when homosexuality was considered like a crime…if you're a girl with more than one man in her life you're considered a whore. I heard from father how you are in a romantic relationship with your boys. The girl was a surprise."

Tsunami smiles bashfully. She resettles herself on the floor, leaning into her uncle's side and brushes her fingers through his hair. Yoyori purrs and rolls onto his side while facing Tsunami. He wraps his arms around her waist and draws himself closer to her. He whispers-speaks to her and Tsunami freezes in shock. Yoyori knew of the mafia and how involve she was. He told her how he found out. He fell in love with a woman named Oregano. Oregano worked under her father, a part of an organization a part of the mafia. When he learned about Iemitsu's true occupation and why he kept it a secret from Nana, Yoyori was convinced that a lie in a relationship was unhealthy for both parties. So he revealed his true self to her…and she rejected him.

"I'm glad you and your boys are together. Please continue to be honest with them. Show each of them love and care."

Tsunami promises with a kiss to the crown of his head.

Tsunami returned home and gathered Hayato, Takeshi, Ryohei, Chrome and Mukuro at Kokuyo Land. It took some convincing to get Kyoya and Xanxus to come along but after stressing how important it was and that it involved her family, the bat-side they joined them. Tsunami announces her family's decision relating to her love life.

"WHAAAT?!" Hayato roars.

Xanxus folds his arms and he snarls low. Kyoya's face was clear of emotion but there was certain hard steel in his eyes. Takeshi's mouth fell open with Ryohei mimicking the same till he yells an "EXTREME". Chrome appears sad until mists surround her and Mukuro's form appears startling everyone.

"Kufufu, your family is ambitious."

"….I…I didn't suspect they were like that…." Tsunami recovers with a sigh. "Which is why you're all here, I want to be honest with you." She takes a deep breath. "As may know by now, I like you all. I really, really like you," she blushes. "I've can say with confidence that I love a few of you…others, I'm learning to love."

Anger and shock dissolves to surprise and rosy cheeks.

"I want to continue this path we're on. But, please be honest with me. I promise to be honest with you in turn. My grandfather and my uncle told me that honesty and understanding is key to a successful relationship. So," Tsunami twiddles her thumbs and glances around the room shyly. "What do you want?"

"Hime!" Hayato bolts forward, grabbing her hands. "You're an incredible girl! It is an honor for me to be considered someone such as me for you to love! Whatever you desire, I will support…other than giving up your life!"

Tsunami smiles, leaning forward and tipping onto the balls of her feet she reaches up and pecks his lips in thanks. Hayato purrs as he blushes. Takeshi clears his throat and the two noticed that he had joined them.

"May I speak with Tsuna-chan?"

Hayato nods, he kisses Tsunami's hands before slowly pulling away from her as his hand while caressing hers. Takeshi pulls Tsunami into a hug, hunching over her slightly. He rocks her for a moment until Tsunami's muffles a giggle. Moving far enough to see her face, he rubs his thumbs over his cheeks.

"I don't mind, Tsuna-chan! I think this is fun. Ryohei-sempai knows more than I do and he was nice enough to help me out when I had questions."

She was surprised to hear that. Takeshi and Ryohei were in a partner-dynamic of partners sharing a lover. Partners in a polyamorous-relationship share information between each other in order to please their shared lover! Tsunami smiles at Ryohei. The boxer nods, confirming Takeshi's statement.

"I understand that concept of sharing and helping." Mukuro speaks up. "I'm happy that Chrome's feelings mimic my own attraction to you, dear Tsunami. Through Chrome I am able to partake in the giving and taking of affections between each other."

"And I do feel you through Chrome at times," Tsunami grins. "You're so dark…in a good-naughty sort of way," a hot blush.

Mukuro grins like a devil and it makes Tsunami tingle all over. Kyoya grunts seeing his rival and his pet flutter their lashes as each other. Hearing him, Tsunami becomes nervous.

"Kyoya-senpai?"

Hearing the hope and seeing her big-doe eyes enlarge and sparkle, Kyoya huffs.

"I would rather have you all to myself, my pet. But, you have proven yourself a powerful carnivorous alpha female by defeating this large herbivore." He thumbs over to Xanxus. "It is a natural practice among your roost; I will not hinder your natural instincts to collect mates. I just think you have poor taste in your selection.

"EXTREMELY RUDE!"

"Asshole," Hayato spats.

"Kufufufu, it has been awhile since I've seen you. You've regained your confidence. It should be knocked down again."

Kyoya narrows his eyes and reaches within jacket. Tsunami growls while flashing her eyes red briefly.

"So, what about Xanxus?" Takeshi asks curiously. "He's only been here a month and you've included him in this talk."

"I was wondering that, too." Hayato glares at the adult.

Said adult ignores all the stares, pretending that he didn't care about them or the heart-to-heart discussion. Tsunami giggles.

"Xanxus is a work in-progress. I'm think I'm starting to like him…but I'm not sure if he wants me…it all depends on him."

Xanxus pointedly look at Tsunami. He had never told her that he actually liked her. It was mostly focused on her liking him. He felt that he didn't need to tell her. She had the nose to tell that she made him hot and bothered. The little tease wants him to confess with his words about how he wanted her. Fine, they will play the cat-and-mouse game. Let's see who can resist the other the longest.

"Hahaha, my money's on Tsunami winning the game of love!"

"Tch," Xanxus rolls his eyes.

Hayato grins in confidence, "Of course, Hime will win…wait till she goes into heat, let's see him resist her then."

Xanxus frowns at that, "What? Heat?"

Ryohei flushes red. He turns to a wall and grips it with his hands, "Extreme! Tsunami-chan goes into heat?! That's so extremely hot!..."

The wall begins to crack from his grip, "I can't wait to the EXTREME!"

Takeshi shyly looks at Tsunami. He liked the idea of Tsunami going into heat too. He would like to have a little rougher sex with her. One of Hayato's eyes glows brightly and has his face twists into a heated expression. It was very strange look!

Mukuro barks out a laugh suddenly, "I'm afraid Chrome isn't quite ready for that level of intimacy! But would love to take her time and assures you, Tsunami, that she cares for you and finds you leading a harem of boys sexy. She wouldn't mind if your harem expands."

The ones she loved and the ones that she was learning to love were find with each other. Okay with the possibility that they may be another addition if her family had their way. Tsunami had her doubts, but if by chance she did find a male Tejinaka to be her mate, he and they could accept each other. She will remember Uncle Yoyori's words. She will remember to be honest and not take her lovers and soon-to-be lovers for granted.
