Chapter 7

Cheering UP!

"Huh?" Chrome looked up at Tsunami confusedly, wonder what was the cause of her outburst.

"The pretty girl that was posing on the cover of that magazine, it was you!" Tsunami held up the magazine that was lying on the table.

"Oh you're talking about that." Replied Chrome, looking at the magazine that Tsuna held up, before a dejected expression was presented in her wide, innocent, violet, eye's.

"U-Umm, I didn't mean to scare you or anything, I was just talking out loud. Sorry if I m-made you upset!" Tsunami begin to apologize, as Chrome looked up at her, shaking her head.

"There's no need for you to apologize. I-It's not like it's your fault anyway." Tsunami heard her mutter, sad violet orbs looking down at the ground. Seeing this made Tsunami wanted to cheer the poor girl up some.

"N-Ne, Chrome-chan w-would you like to go somewhere with me?"

"Hopefully this place will cheer you up some." The two girls walked inside of a cute bakery cafe, that was filled with the smell of yummy fresh made dessert, all coming from different variety.

"This place is known to sell the best of delicious dessert. Anytime I am feeling down,I always come here, for a cheer me up!" said Tsunami as both her and Chrome, order themselves something, before finding a small quiet table in the back by the window for them to sit.

It didn't take long, when a waiter can to their table dropping off their dessert, which for Chrome was a piece of strawberry cake, while Tsunami had chocolate, her most favorite.

Tsunami was the first to take a bite of her cake, instantly being overwhelmed by it pure soft texture, and icing. "Yummy!" she exclaim with a bright cute smile.

Seeing how Tsunami reacted, Chrome decided to take a bite, only to be caught off guard, as the cake was indeed the most heavenly piece of dessert she ever tasted. "Delicious!" Chrome said happily, unaware of her expression.

"See, the cake here is magic!" Smiled Tsunami.

"W-Why you say that?"asked Chrome.

"Because this is the first smile I've seen you shown today." Replied Tsunami.

"H-Huh? Really?!" Chrome was surprised not believing that herself could smile, with the messy and depressing week she been having lately.

Tsunami nodded her head as Chrome shyly thank her, blushing a bit as she took another small bite of her cake.

"Thank-you, you're the first person beside, Mukuro-oniisama, and the other's, to get me to smile." Admitted Chrome, staring up at Tsunami with a cute smile now on her face, while Tsunami was beginning to feel overwhelmed that someone actually thanked her for her help.

"You're welcome, b-but why did y-you look so sad before, not that it is any of my business!" Tsunami quickly added, and regretted once she saw how Chrome was back again with that depressed sad look.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you!" Tsunami began to apologize

"I-It's okay, I don't mind answering you." Replied Chrome. "You see, recently the fashion design studio that work for, has recently hired a new female model, who is really cute, super nice to everyone, including me. The people I work with seem to really adore her, . . ." Tsunami had the feeling that Chrome was talking about her classmate Kyoko, and began to feel worry when she saw her petite form began to shake a little.

"For three year straight, I have work to the best of my abilities, winning Ms. Dark-N-Lovely, so that I could show Mukuro-oniisama, of how much I have improve and grown, ever since he left the company." said Chrome.

"W-Wait Mukuro use to be a model!?" exclaim Tsunami.

Chrome nodded." Yes, Mukuro-oniisama use to be Dark-N-Lovely top male model, until Reborn-san, came and offer him a contract with Vongola, at first Mukuro-oniisama refused him a lot, but in Reborn-san last attempt he was quite persuasive, holding blackmail information over Mukuro-oniisama with a bit of aggressive force." answer Chrome, while Tsunami couldn't help but sweatdrop.

'Why is it, that I can't help but think he use this same method on all the member's of The Guardian's.' Thought Tsunami, sweat-dropping a bit as she could already imagine the image in her head.

"Dark-N-Lovely next photo-shoot, issues a feature member from Vongola Corp, newest band, The Guardian's, something which I was inform was suppose to be Mukuro-onii-sama. I was so excited when I heard the news, that I could get a chance to work with him again after such a long time, but then, right before we took the photo-shoot of Dark-N-Lovely newest issue, featuring the new girl, I over-heard that I might end up being replace by the new girl, who has a much better shine to her then I do." Chrome continue to speak, looking down at the ground, with glossy violet eye's.

"At first I didn't try to think too much about it, and still tried my best, but after a while I began to notice, how everyone began to forget about me, favoring over the new girl, who shine with a smile, and was super cuter than me, and then I heard. . .of how the director is thinking of removing me from out of the photo shoot with Mukuro-oniisama, and use the new girl instead." Tsunami who see the threat of tears that were about to run down her cheeks. as she tried to hold them back.

"I don't mean to be selfish or anything, but am I really that useless. I try, and try, and try again, but nothing ever seem to be going my way. Ever since I was little, I always felt that there was a distant between me and Mukuro, don't matter how many times he was always there for me. I always feel as if I'm the black sheep of the family, and no matter how hard I ever try, in the end I will be just a failure." Teardrops leak from out of her eyes, streaming down her face, when out of nowhere she felt herself being comfort in a tight warm hug.

"It's okay Chrome-chan, you really care deeply about Mukuro opinion about you, but if you ask me he cares about you no matter what, and is proud to see you working so hard, just keeping doing what you do, and just believe in yourself more! You can do it, Chrome-chan!" Tsuna offer her words, hoping it might cheer Chrome, loosen her hug around her as Chrome begin to look her way.

"I g-guess in some ways, I really do admire you, Chrome-chan, and one day hope to become as brave and strong as you! So please always r-remeber to smile, you look cuter when you do." Tsuna was blushing as she said this, looking at a blushing Chrome a bit shyly.

"Kufufufu~ So this was the person who kidnapped my sweet little Nagi." Breaking the mood between the two girls, and almost scaring Tsunami have the death, was none other than Mukuro, standing at their table.

"M-Mukuro-san!? What a-are you doing here?!" Cried out Tsunami, moving closer to Chrome, who was not caught by surprise at Mukuro unexpected appearance.

"Kufufufu~ Dear Usagi-chan I always keep up with my dear Nagi location by the GPS tracking system that is in her phone." replied Mukuro, while Tsuna couldn't help but think what kind of brother put a tracking device in there little sister phone's.

"Hmm, you seem different Nagi, did something happen, I can't help but to think you look way more livelier, and I believe happy." Mukuro mused, looking over at the blushing Chrome, who turn her attention over towards Tsunami.

"I do feel happy Mukuro-oniisama, and its all thanks to Tsuna-chan, and don't worry Mukuro-oniisama I will continue to work hard, so you can continue to be proud of me!" Declared Chrome with a cute looks of determination, as Mukuro smile at her before taking her hand helping her out of her seat.

"I see, isn't that wonderful, than I guess I must say my thanks Usagi-chan, it seem you cheered up my dear little Chrome." replied Mukuro before bending down taking hold of Tsunami chin, tilting her face up so that they were looking eye-to-eye.

"Kufufu~ How should I ever rewards you?" asked the the handsome mismatch eyed teen, amuse at the blushing embarrassed expression Tsunami was showing, as a pair of imaginary bunny ears appear on top of her head.

"I-It was nothing, I'm j-j-just happy that s-she's s-s-smiling again!" exclaim the blushing bunny Tsunami, seeing how Mukuro hap advance towards her.

"Is that so, well for a reward, I shall give you this. . ." said Mukuro closing in the distance between the two, as Tsunami close her eyes tightly waiting for the outcome, when she felt a pair of lips laid on her cheek for a quick second, before retreating, opening her eyes to see a smirking Mukuro, and a blushing Chrome.

"See ya later, Usagi-chan~!" Mukuro said his goodbye, taking hold of Chrome hand as the two walked away, leaving a blushing red bunny behind.

See you all next time, and have a very Merry Christmas!
