And so, the days went by and it was the night of the Mist battle.
"Are you ready Chrome?"
"Yes."
"Then let us go lest we be late."
And so, we headed for Namimori Junior High. I kept looking at the Mukuro doll Mukuro-sama gave me and Ken joked saying that I was obsessed it.
"So what if I am?"
"Well...."
"If you can't think of a counter-back, don't say it in the first place."
"Ugh..."
"... If you're actually nervous for Chrome, then eat that boxful of strawberry gum you bought this morning. Candy calms you down riht? Or was it tea....?"
"I-I'm not nervous or anything, pyon! You better win you idiot! If you don't, you're gonna get it!"
"... I know that even if you didn't telll me Ken...."
"We're here."
"Couldn't they have chosen a better place? I mean, a school gym?"
"Why not? It's large, spacious, and it's got a high ceiling for space for them to jump if they want to."
"I suppose so...."
Before we went in, I remembered something. I pinned the crest on the lower left of my shirt and put my goggles on. Then, I went after them.
________________________________
After the misunderstanding of who the Mist Guardian was, was over, I went in. After all the arguing was over as well. I was supposed to keep as few people as possible from seeing my crest when it's on me. Thus, more accurately, I only went in when the battle was about to start. Gokudera Hayato only noticed me when the infrared-triggered lasers installed in the spectator's area was up.
"Hey! Who's that girl over that isn't in the spectator's area for neither sides?! Is she one of your Cervello members?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi then looked in my direction as well.
"Eh?! It's her again!!"
"Jyuudaime, do you know her?"
"Not... Exactly...."
The Cervello judges looked at me, saw the crest and turned back to Gokudera Hayato.
"If we confine within a space, regardless of the area, it would be equal to a death penalty for us."
"Thus, we dare not even go near her. Let alone place her in something similar to what you guys are in."
"Whys that?!"
"Why don't you ask her yourself?"
"We're not allowed to give the reason why unless she allows us to."
"Tch. Anyway, Jyuudaime, I think I saw her with you when that Levi. A, Than's underlings attacked Lambo and the others...."
"Yeah.... Why?"
"Who is she?"
"I'm curious too Tsuna, you seem to know each other."
"Tell us Sawada."
"Well.... It's kinda hard to explain... So to put everything very simply-"
"Sawada Tsunayoshi is my sandbag."
"Yup~ I'm her- WHAT?!?!?!?! No I am not!!!"
"Really? Because you mke a really great sandbag."
"Really Sawada? I really think you should join the boxing club now! We can use you if I break all our sandbags~"
"EH?!?!"
"Don't worry, that was a joke~"
"Thank goodness...."
"Jyuudaime, I'm being serious here. Who is she?"
"Eh....? G-Gokudera-kun.... Why are you so serious....?"
"Because.... I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE BECOME JYUUDAIME'S RIGHT-HAND MAN!!!!"
"Aha.... So that's the reason...."
"Their chat is delaying the battle. Cervello, start it. Now."
"!!! Yes! Then, the battle of Mist, Mammon versus Chrome Dokuro. Begin!"
The battle then started. The goggles didn't allow me to see any illusions in it's default mode, so I switched it to nother mode in order to enable the illusions. It took me a long time to do it while putting it on, so I turned away from the battle, took off the goggles, adjusted it, then put it back on and continued to view the battle.
_______________________________________
Because of the way I'm viewing the battle, I wasn't allowed to cheer on anyone and stuff like that. Thus, when Chrome's legs were frozen in ice and was thrown onto an ice pillar, I couldn't do anything either. I could only grip my teeth, clench my fist and do my best not to rush in and help. Doing so would result in immediate disqualification for both of us for both of our goals. I couldn't do anything eiher when Mammon broke Chrome's trident...
All I could do.... Even though I was free to move around... Was watch...
"Yuki! Can't you do anything to help?!"
"...."
"Ken, she can't. If she does, she'll lose her qualification for Boss and Chrome would lost her half of the ring."
"Damn it....!!"
I could only stand there and watch as her illusionary organs failed.... I closed my eyes and hugged my plushie of Mukuro-sama....
"Mukuro-sama...."
I then felt Mukuro's presence somewhere nearby. I looked at Chrome and mist had started to appear from her body.
"He's coming....!!!"
"Jyuudaime?"
"Tsuna?"
"He's coming... Rokudo Mukuro is... Mukuro's coming!!"
The thick mist obscured my vision, even with my goggles on. But me, Sawada Tsunayoshi, Ken and Chikusa all knew one thing... Mukuro-sama... Was coming.
