"Speaking"

'Thinking'

I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

Skull wasn't as idiotic as he appeared. He understood that he wasn't like the other Acrobaleno. He wasn't as smart as Verde or skilled in combat as Lal, Reborn, Fon, or Colonnello. Hell even Viper and Luce are more useful than him on missions.

Being treated like trash has become the norm for him, the only other Acrobaleno who didn't act as this is so were Fon and Luce. Everyone else either sees him as an annoyance or as a kid who should stay at home.

The great Skull, Skull from Hell, Skull the Immortal, The one hated by the reaper, all those titles mean nothing to anyone but him. They prove he dared to do all those stunts, even so no one knows how he came to be the stuntman he is today.

As a child he was born into the Estraneo Famiglia and was used as a Guinea pig for a project to create an immortal army. For years he was injected with chemicals and poisons of all sorts to build immunity. Beaten to near death and healed only to be beaten again. He was the only one to survive to be twelve when it happened.

One day he was injected to many chemicals and died, or so it seemed.

His heart was slowed to an undetectable rate and the rest of his body became completely unresponsive to the world. Thinking he was truly dead the scientists threw the body into the middle of the Sea, legs tied to lead weights. As he was sinking the chemicals effects stabilized and when he realized his situation his mind blanked.

When he came to his senses he was on the shore of some beach surrounded by people asking him if he's ok and someone yelling in the background to call an ambulance. He was taken to the hospital where he discovers he was on a sinking ship an that he was the only one that got go alive. There and then he decided he shall be know as Skull. They kept him for two weeks before sending him to an orphanage. As the years past no one wanted to adopt him and he became more of the big brother of the orphanage. He became interested in motorcycles after seeing a stunt show on the T.V there. The rest of his past was a blur.

When he was fourteen he finished repairing his first bike. At fifteen he slowly became know as the Immortal Skull, by doing his seemingly suicidal stunts and never getting severely injured.

He was seventeen when he met Luce, Fon, and the others.

He joined the Cassara Famiglia at eighteen.

At nineteen was when they became babies

A few years later Luce died and Aria became to Sky Acrobaleno.

He attacked Mafia land.

He was the second to test Tsuna in the Acrobaleno trials.

Paired up with Hibari for his Inheritance Sucession trial.

Aria disappeared and was pronounced dead and Yuni became the new sky.

The Shimon teamed up with him for the Representative battles.

Then the curse was broken.

After the curse broke Verde started looking for ways to speed up the aging process while Skull was used as a test dummy.

After many errors and one incident where he became a girl, Verde finally did it. When he first came upon the correct formula it lasted only 30 seconds and was extremely painful. It took him only an hour to stabilize the first successful pill and 2 more to create enough for the others He distributed the aging formula in the form of a pill to all of them.

Yes... Everyone was getting accustom to being an adult again, but it was bittersweet. He was treated worse by Reborn and Colonnello than when they were babies. Fon, Uni, Enma, and the rest of the Shimon Famiglia where the ones that he could truly call companions, besides Oodako.

With a sigh he sat against a tree in the deep forest surrounding Giglo Nero mansion. He was taking a walk to get away from all the chaos and ended up getting lost in his thoughts. If he goes back now Reborn, who was taking a break from tor-tutoring Tsuna, would start ordering him around along with Colonello. While if he goes back to late Uni would be upset and Reborn would beat him up even more. Groaning he said,"How troublesome, either go back now and make it before the sun goes down or leave later and make it back at night. Well it could be worse."

"Yes it could be worse Skull or should I say experiment #86668 of project Hercules." A man who looked to be in his late-sixties came out from behind the tree in front of him.

'There's no way. It cant't be.' Skull's eyes widen when he recognizes the man in front of him.

"How the Hell are you alive and how did you find me!"

"I was the only one part of the project who lived after you massacred everyone on the ship. For finding you, well lets say it took some "persuasion" from the Carcassa Famiglia."

Skull narrowed his eyes in anger.

"What are you talking about?"

"Come now you mean to say that you don't remember when you killed everyone but your own father."

"LIKE HELL YOU WERE A FATHER YOU BASTARD! I may not remember that moment, but I remember everything that was done to me, Signor Giovanni Moretti. And didn't the Estraneo's get killed by Rokudo Mukuro?"

The man ,no monster standing in front of him started to grin and it honestly unnerved him.

"If you believe that he got us all your sadly mistaken."

Giovanni took out a gun and pointed it toward his forehead.

"Now if you have a choice either come quietly or face the consequences."

'What an idiot he does know I can't be killed by conventional weapons. They made sure of that.'

"I refuse to go with you. It's not like you can kill me with that anyway."

"Still as naive as ever. This isn't meant to kill you. Oh no no no, it's loaded with a possession bullet. If you want to lose control of your thoughts and actions by all means resist. Now get up and put your hands where I can see them."

'Undead body should keep the bullet from penetrating or are special bullets different? Gahh! I should have taken my helmet with me but no I just had to go without it! What do I do, I can't go back there, I won't!' With that declaration his mind blanked out.

~X~

Red that's all he could see when he came to. The grass, the trees, everything was a sickening shade of red. There were multiple bodies, probably back up, most of which had the same look of terror etched on their faces, well those who still had faces.

Pained look of begging to be sparred. The fear of dying was something he more was familiar with than he seemed. 'How… How could I have done all of this? They all looked like they were mauled by a wild animal. Could it be what he said was true?'

A sharp pain went through his Skull and all those memories came flooding back.

~X~

He was in the control room of a ship with two men were cowering for their lives.

"St-stay back y-you monster!"

The younger Skull's face changed from a sadistic grin to a frown.

"You people were the ones who made me like this."

The child began what was one of the bloodiest massacres after Rokudo Mukuro.

~X~

Going up to what he assumed was his father's body he said,"It's funny how the mad scientist almost always get killed by his creation. They never seem to learn from mistakes." He started walking away he turned and said, " Goodbye forever you bastard."

Leaving the small clearing he sparred a pitying glance at the rest of the bodies. No one but him will know of their horrific fate.

He headed back to Giglo Nero Mansion, knowing this is what he is.
