Mukuro soon had to call the funeral home Knuckle owed. The workers agreed to come get Nagi, but wouldn’t do anything till they heard from Knuckle. Mukuro was a bit angry about that and decided to give Knuckle a call in the morning. From there he returned to his apartment. As he walked to the stairs he saw Alaude’s brother and the employees returning from the premier. Mukuro sighed and walked up to his apartment. It had been a long week and he was exhausted. 

He was getting ready to go to bed when his phone rang. Mukuro reluctantly looked to see who it was. 

“Knuckle?” Mukuro mumbled before he answered the call. “Hello?”

“Mukuro, I’m so sorry. I just heard about Chrome,” Knuckle consoled. 

Mukuro sighed lightly. “Thank you Knuckle.”

“I’m on my way back. Ok?” Knuckle stated.

“You don’t need to end your vacation early. Besides we both know what Daemon will do once he finds out,” Knuckle huffed a bit angrily. Mukuro fell silent knowing what Knuckle was talking about. “Besides, Alaude, G, and the other three are coming as well.”

“Alright, I can’t stop you after all,” Mukuro muttered, running a hand through his hair.

“Good, we’ll be there tomorrow morning,” Knuckle said.

“I won’t be at my apartment till late afternoon,” Mukuro said as he looked at his calendar. He started filming a new season of the TV show he was co-star of that morning, he only had one day off and that was well today.

“Alright, then we’ll just wait at Alaude’s place,” Knuckle said after a moment probably talking to Alaude.

“Okay.” Mukuro mumbled while holding in a yawn. “I’ve been up for a day, I would like to get some sleep. I’ll talk to you later Knuckle.”

“Oops, sorry. I forgot you had that premier last night. Sleep Mukuro we’ll talk later,” Knuckle stated before hanging up. Mukuro chuckled a bit as he set his phone on the nightstand to let it continue charging. Soon he laid down to sleep, but sleep didn’t come easily. After a while of tossing and turning he finally fell asleep.

He was woken by someone knocking on his front door. He groaned a bit looking at the time. He had only gotten three hours of sleep. Mukuro got up pulling on a shirt as he walked to the door to see who it was. He opened the door coming face to face with Alaude’s brother. 

Mukuro blinked in surprise. “What are you doing here?”

“Ah, well Alaude asked me to come see if you were alright? I’m not sure why… My name is Kyoya Hibari, by the way…” Kyoya mumbled.

“I see..., I'm okay. Tired, but that’s normal after a premier,” Mukuro shrugged. Kyoya looked concerned as he looked at Mukuro.

“Right... well... you look more than just tired. Plus Alaude doesn’t send someone to check on someone else unless something was wrong. Also you left the premier early, a lot of the reporters were upset about that.” Kyoya stated folding his arms.

Mukuro sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Something important came up that caused me to need to leave the premier early. Look I appreciate your brother’s concern, but I’m okay. I would really like to be well rested before going back to work tomorrow morning. So if you would please?”

Kyoya huffed. “Right, well I’ll pass the information along. See you around.” He said and started to walk away with a wave. Mukuro watched him go for a moment before closing the door and going back to bed.

Mukuro showed up to the location they would be filming. It was in one of the only forested areas in Milan. Mukuro was playing a prince named Lucio who was trying to escape from an evil sorcerer by the name of Basileo. However he ends up being caught. Mukuro checked in with the director and immediately was sent off to hair, make up, and wardrobe.

Once out of there Mukuro was in full character ready to introduce his character and the fairytale. His hair was white, and he had indigo eyes. He didn’t quite like the clothing he was wearing. They were replicas of what a prince would wear in the 18th century. The royal blue vest and overcoat were embroidered with purple corcus designs as well as fancy patterns. He also very much dislikes the white lace fabric wrapped around his neck and ended with a plume under his chin. The knee high white socks and the knee length royal blue pants weren’t helping anything. Mukuro refused to even acknowledge the shoes they were having him wear and run in. He tried to same some of his dignity but the way he was being stared at did not help.
Soon places were called and the scene was explained. All they were going to shoot today was the introducing of the fairytale since there were bound to be mistakes and other incidents. Mukuro stood in his place waiting for the cue. He looked at the path he was supposed to run down, then he glanced down at his shoes. Groaning internally he heard the cue and started running. He tripped a few times and according to the script he had to look back. He didn’t the first few times, but when he did he fell to the ground hurting himself a bit. He bit his lip and got up. This was where the hard part came.

By the end of the day they got what they needed, and Mukuro went to his trailer to take a shower. His body ached from running and falling so many times. Standing under the water flow he closed his heterochromia eyes enjoying the hot water running over his body. Thoughts about what his brother might do once he learns of Nagi’s death suddenly surfaced in his mind. He opened his eyes quickly and sighed. He turned off the water and stepped out needing to get back to his apartment. Once dressed and his contact back in he headed to his motorcycle, helmet under his arm and keys in hand. He didn’t want to think about Daemon. The older man was guilty of a lot of things that he has gotten away with for years. 

Once well on his way to his apartment he got a call from Alaude. Mukuro chuckled lightly, figuring the elder was getting tired of waiting. He answered the call.

“Alaude, are you that impatient?” Mukuro asked.

“Shut up, where are you? Blondie and Pinky are annoying me,” Alaude grunted.

“G and who?” Mukuro asked.

“You’ll meet them when you get to your apartment now again where the hell are you?” Alaude said a bit more urgently.

“Halfway there. Why what’s going on? You seem worried.” Mukuro replied.

“Daemon has been trying to contact the six of us. You need to get your ass back here now before he does something,” Alaude stated. Mukuro’s eyes widened as he looked at the road in front of him.

“I’ll be there as soon as I can Alaude,” Mukuro said. Alaude grunted before hanging up. Mukuro gave a shaky sigh, what was Daemon thinking? Did he even want to know? He shook his head a bit and focused on the road determined to get home.
