CHAPTER 1: THE LOST LITTLE GIRL

Disclaimer: I don't own Katekyo Hitman Reborn or the characters, Akira Amano does. I feel like I've forgotten something. What else was I supposed to say in the disclaimer?

"Let me go! Put me down! Where are you- Ah! Ow! It hurts! Stop it! No! Not up there! Anywhere but there! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME! NO! HELP!" a pierced voice rang through the winds. It was the voice of a tortured little girl.

"Shut up, little girl. Enjoy the pain while it lasts."

"I can't get back down! Help me! I can't climb trees!" The little girl yelled. Then she whimpered. "Onee-chan! Twinky Sis! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THEM!"

"Watch and suffer as you watch your stupid idiotic sisters die SLOWLY and PAINFULLY..."

Bel, the fallen 8-year-old prince of some unknown land was lurking around outside the Varia Mansion when he heard the noise.

"Ushishishi. Sounds like someone's being tortured. I'll go watch."

"Who do YOU think you are!" the little girl asked. Suddenly, she jumped off the tree. "LOOK HERE. I may have said that I can't climb back down, but no one said that I can't jump off. You're hurting my sisters. How bout a trip to my version of hell?" And suddenly, all the men looked terrified. Things started to appear before them, things they are really afraid of. The little girl than knocked them all out quite easily. Then, she ran over to her sisters.

"Onee-chan! Twinky! Are you OKAY!" But she was too late. Her sisters had no hope of living anymore. Suddenly, her elder sister moved her hand and handed something to the little girl.

"Take this, and never let go." Her sister said faintly, mustering up all her strength. All the little girl could do was cry and accept the small gift from her sister, which was a small box decorated with three silver hearts. The little girl cried and cried, until she grew tired of crying. She stood up, but exhaustion took control of her, and she fell into a deep sleep...

"Voi! Brat! Where are you taking me!" Squalo said. He was irritated, for the little blonde boy woke him up from his 'beauty sleep', and he was NOT a morning person.

"I heard somone being tortured. And since I don't want to get lost, you're coming with me. You should be thankful that someone as royal as me should even WANT some help from stupid idiotic peasants like you. Now let's go. I think they were over there."

After a few minutes...

"Voi, Bel, are you sure this is the way?"

"Ushishishi. Yes. That way." Suddenly, they heard a crying voice. Bel ran to a corner. What he saw shocked him. A girl, about his age, perhaps a few months younger, or maybe a year younger than him, stood. She had dark blue eyes the color of midnight.. Her hair was also the color of midnight, and was approximately down to her chest. On the right side, a small part of her hair had been colored light blue, and another small part was colored light purple. Bel thought that she was the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. Her long eyelashes fluttered in the wind as she fell backwards. Bel raced towards her, and caught her just in time.

"Voi, brat! Don't just run off like-" Squalo paused. "Voi, Bel, who's that girl you're holding?"

I know, I know. Weird, huh? BTW, this is AU, if you've read my summary. Please review. I want to know what you guys think of this. CIAO!
