Written for a fic exchange with .ixos.! Sorry it's out a little late D:

It was one of those days. Kyoko and Haru had somehow managed to drag Chrome out of Kokuyo Land to go shopping with them. The girls had managed to drag Tsuna with them (who of course couldn't say no to cute Kyoko-chan), and wherever Tsuna went, Gokudera would follow, not unlike a loyal puppy. Yamamoto never liked to be left out of anything, so he took the liberty to go with them.

Tsuna was currently waiting in Sanzaki Boutique for the girls to finish looking through the shirts while his brain melted into mush. He silently regretting giving in to Kyoko's endearing puppy dog eyes. Of course, this knowledge would not protect him against future pleas.

Gokudera tried to put on a good front for his beloved tenth, but it was failing miserably. He was, however, grateful that Chrome's trident had managed to keep most people out of their way. Apparently it didn't make too many people comfortable to be shopping with someone holding a potentially lethal weapon.

Gokudera considered waving around some of his dynamite next time he went out. He liked this wide berth.

Yamamoto, in stark contrast to the other two boys, was actually laughing and giving advice on what to buy and what not to. He was currently looking through the many hangers of clothes looking for clothes that would fit Chrome.

"That color doesn't really work with your eyes, I think," the baseball fanatic commented about one that Chrome had picked for herself.

Gokudera was seriously wondering about Yamamoto's sexual orientation.

Chrome stared at Yamamoto incredulously, in a very un-Chrome way. The latter didn't notice.

Tsuna, however, did and shivered a little. Chrome chuckled a little at Tsuna as she (or was it more accurate for it to be a 'he'?) walked toward the two slightly disgruntled teens.

"What are you doing here, Mukuro?" Tsuna asked cautiously.

"Kufufu, I decided to accompany my cute little Chrome. It's a nice change from Kokuyou Land, and Vendicare isn't frightfully interesting either. The same gray wall can get surprisingly boring after you stare at it through water for a couple of months."

"You better not be planning anything," Gokudera growled as he got his rings and boxes ready.

"Oh, be my guest and go ahead and activate those boxes. A little mayhem is very welcoming. A change of pace is always good," Mukuro laughed.

"Oh, hey Mukuro!" Yamamoto greeted happily. He laughed a little and said, "Didn't notice it was you and not Chrome!"

"Um, well I'll just be over there with the girls...you know, so you can't try to stab me with the trident?" Tsuna edged a way and once he was a good distance a way from Mukuro, he sprinted toward Kyoko and Haru. Gokudera, unsurprisingly, followed.

Yamamoto was quiet for a few rare seconds while he was staring at Mukuro's threatening trident. "You must really really like mobs, right?"

Mukuro's eye twitched and his voice was obviously strained as he asked, "What makes you say that?"

Yamamoto went on, completely oblivious to the other meaning of mob, saying, "Well, I mean you really like getting people up into a frenzy and you have a pitchfork, and when you use your flames, it sorta surrounds the pitchfork right? So you got the pitchfork and the torches all in one! You'd be a great angry villager!"

Mukuro was speechless for a second. Yamamoto beamed in the sheer genius-osity of his statement.

He never saw Mukuro coming.

"A PITCHFORK?"
