Prologue

"Hey! Wait up!"

"Maybe you should just walk faster."

The sky was clear and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, flying in the warm spring breeze. It was just another regular day in Tokyo, Japan. Well, as regular as you could get with these two sisters Tsukiyomi Asahi and Kagehana.

They were both 14, twins even, but you wouldn't think that from just looking at them.

The elder twin was Asahi, who was really cheerful, outgoing and had a really sunny disposition, which others could just feel from her blinding smile. Asahi had long, straight bright blonde hair, with soft golden-honey brown eyes.

The younger twin was Kagehana, who had short, shoulder-length midnight black hair that had a tint of dark blue and intelligent, bright silver eyes. Known as the exact opposite of her twin, she was stoic and serious, almost always carrying a book around.

They were both half-Japanese, and it showed in their appearances. They were shunned and excluded at school because of this fact, but they didn't really care. One thing that no one else knew though was that they were both HUGE anime and manga fans. They were currently on their way to an anime convention that was being held in the more populated part of Tokyo.

"Eh? You're so mean Hana!"

"Quiet"

"So meeaaan."

They continued on their way when Kagehana noticed a dark figure at the side of the street.

"What's that?" She inquired as she pointed a finger towards it.

"What?" Asahi tilted her head at the statement and looked in the same direction that her beloved sister was pointing at.

While she may not be as smart as her sister, no one could deny that she had better eyesight. She scrutinized the figure. She saw that the reason why it was so dark was because it was wearing a cloak while sitting in the shadows. But she also saw little things that made her think. She saw a few bony fingers sticking out of the cloak, and little flashes of skin that was revealed due to the figure moving around. Taking into account the size of the figures stature, and the way that it was hunched over, she finally realized what it was.

"Eh?! It's an old lady! We have to help her Hana!"

"Eh? Wha -" Hana was cut off as her older sister dragged her over to the side, and couldn't help but wonder just whothe older one was here.


"Here, have this."

The old lady looked up to see two young girls offering her some melon bread. She reached up to the offering hands.

"Thank you." She said gratefully

Old lady's POV:

I looked up at the two young girls. I could see that they are total opposites. One is dark, one is bright. One is reserved, the other is not. I could see that many things were destined to happen to them. They are completely different from others, not only in a physical and personal sense, but also in a spiritual sense.

In response to my thanks, the bright one gave a loud

"No problem!"

When the shadow child reached out to the loud one, and told her that they would need to go or risk being late, I knew I had to do something or it would be too late. For both of them, and me. And so, I decided to take a risk. Either they would accept my request and everything would be okay. Or, something else would happen.

"If you had the chance to go to another world, would you?"

"What?" The twins both echoed.

"I said, if you had the chance to go to another world, would you?"

"What-" The light started.

"-Do you mean?" finished the darkness.

I stared at them unperturbed.

"You may not believe me, not that I blame you if you don't, but I am actually a witch. I have the power to send you into another world of your choice. Out of all the people who have passed by this area today, you two are the first people who have actually stopped to give this old lady on the side of the street even a semblance of help. Thus, I have chosen you two as the people that I will send into an alternate world of your choice"

The twins both turned to each other and said: "Conference!"

End Old Lady's POV.

They continued in hushed tones,

"Should we listen to her?" Asahi questioned.

-smack- "OW!" Asahi glared petulantly at Kagehana.

"Idiot. I know that you're dumb, but seriously, think about what you say first! What if this is a ploy to kidnap us! Did you forget who our parents are?"

At least Asahi had the decency to look sheepish after thinking that over.

"Okay, so you're right about that. But sill! We can't just ignore a claim like that! Even you have to know, if someone says something that outrageous, they are either completely insane, or they are telling the truth. And look me straight in the eye, and tell me that you truly, honestly think that she is insane." She demanded.

Knowing that if she did anything different, she would be nagged until the ends of the earth, Kagehana obeyed. And as she stared into her twin's eyes, she knew that she could not disagree with what Asahi said. Giving in, know that she had lost; she finally listened to what her sister was saying.

"Fine –sigh– if this is so important to you, we will agree. BUT – "she started as her sister was starting become ecstatic, "I want to make sure that you think this completely through. If something happens, I don't want you to blame me. "

"Yeah, yeah. I know. Don't worry!"

"I won't be the one who is worrying dummy."

"Well, if you aren't the one who is worrying, then who else would?"

"Well Mom and Dad of cour-….." Kagehana cut herself off before she could continue further. She knew that what she had been about to say was incorrect.

And that was the bitter truth. Sure they had parents, but they were ignored in favor of work. Their parents were high up in the chain of the company. They were brought to school, where they had no real friends. Fellow students talked behind their backs and they had no one but themselves. Even though they were so different, they knew each other so well that they could practically read each other's mind. Asahi, knowing that her sister, normally filled with sarcastic comments, had nothing to say, decided to let it go. Just this once. She smiled at Kagehana, and said:

"See? No need to worry. If anything happens, we'll still have each other."

Finally accepting her sister's decision, they finished up their conversation.

So, they both turned to the lady and said in sync.

"Yes"

"Then it shall be done." The old lady – no, witch – raised her hands and was about to start, but Kagehana cut her off quickly.

"But first, we have a question. "

The witch raised a questioning eyebrow in response.

"Do we get to choose what world we go into?" This time it was Asahi who asked the question.

"Well….. normally that isn't the case, but just this one time, why not?"

Asahi started "Then can we go to-"

"- the world of -"continued Kagehana
"- Katekyo Hitman Reborn?" They both finished together.

The witch thought for a minute. "OK then."

For real this time, the witch raised her hands and concentrated.

"Hope and light, give me strength as this worlds adventure comes to an end, to send these two into the worlds of darkness and light, despair and hope, power and weakness. "

As the twins clutched at each other's hands for support, they closed their eyes, and faded into the bright light.
