Don't Worry, I Have You
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
I grew used to this harsh world, hiding my power. Until the one of the few I had trusted, the one I loved betrayed me. Leaving me to run and hide away from those who wish to control it.
Relationships: Lilith & Verde & Fuuta (a odd family)
-x-
I panted as I ran away from them, my body was ready to drop, but the small child in my arms looked at me with fear as they got closer. My eyes burned, no, not now. I kept going, deeper into the woods as the men chased me. The thought of me getting caught was scary, the thought of him getting captured was heart wrenching and terrifying. It fueled me as I went past my physical limits.
But it only lasted me for so long, I ran into a cave. [78% of not getting caught. Better than the 58% if I kept going. Better than 98% of getting bred like an animal and 82% of Fuuta getting experimented on if we were caught.] I stumbled as I went into the dark cave, trying to make sure no one will find us. The cave got smaller as we kept going, but it wasn't enough. The number wasn't high enough.
I trusted him, he promised me! I was ready to give in, but the sniffling child knocked me back into reality. I held him close to my chest as I blindly move closer to the wall, shushing him. "Shh, we can't let them find us, don't worry."
"I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go~
When all those shadows almost killed your light~
I remember you said don't leave me here alone~
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight~" I sang softly, rocking him to sleep. While I mentally kept checking the probability of us getting found by an enemy.
We spent the next two days in the cave, I knew we had to leave. The supplies in the bag weren't much, it wasn't packed with the thought that someone would sell me out and I would be going on the run. My dear Star, I was grateful for him. Any other child would've likely gave us away by now. Unfortunately, I fucked up.
I hit my head lightly on the wall of the cold cave, Fuuta curling up by my side. I looked at my foot, I cried silently, I broke it. I fucking broke it, I doom the both of us. [17% of getting caught if we leave, 62% of dying in this cave. 73% of Fuuta living if he left me behind and head northwest] -it has to be northwest, he has to leave before tomorrow night.
I grit my teeth as I jolt my leg, sending a wave of pain through it. I screwed my eyes shut as I dug my fingers into the ground. I looked at the entrance, I am not going to kill him. I held the four year old closer to my body, praying to god that he will somehow end up on a similar path like the Canon. I never hated the fact that they didn't go deeper into some of the characters' past than now, how did I know that this isn't how it was like?
My blood turned ice cold as a light shone into the cave, I shove into Fuuta the hole I had made at the cost of my feet and pushed the small boulder in front of it. [87% of the unknown not finding him] I grabbed the small handgun I had, the light shone on me. I snarled, "too late fuckers, I sent him away days ago!"
"No, you didn't, he's in the hole," a familiar voice said.
"V-Verde?"
"Lilith de la Stella, I would like to say my debt is about to be paid," Verde said as he slowly walked into the light. I laughed a bit hysterically.
"Always so dramatic, Verde."
A/N: OC-Insert, I love them. Lilith has the ability to know the probability of stuff. She doesn't really like to use because it can get confusing, but she uses it daily, just doesn't like it. She actually hates it, it made her childhood hell while she tried to learn how to control it.
She met Verde when he was going to do something, but stopped him because her power told her of danger. She saved him from death, Verde went after her when he found out. Wanting to know how she knew that. They then end up having a weird relationship with using her power for certain things. But he likes to use it for simple things, one time he wanted to see if flipping a coin is really 50/50. He demanded her to check the probability of it, it led to a day of them doing nothing but flipping coins. They did it enough that one flip ended with a coin on its edge.
They also went to various casinos, winning four times of the amount of what they decided on the limit. Verde kept most of the money, but Lilith didn't mind because she has money from over the years of using her power. He then used her power to help decided on what deals he will take. (He never used it to check his experiments, Lilith thinks that he likes explosions. Verde knows what she thinks, he isn't a thermobaromanic (I don't know if its a real word, because I couldn't find it on any dictionary websites. But I have seen people on the Internet use it for people who likes explosions. *shrugs* it was the only word I found for people who like explosions.)
• She tried to see if they were on the path of Canon, but it didn't work.
• Similar to Fuuta, her powers don't work during a storm.
• If she didn't have her memories, she would've died after Fuuta because she would've got on a plane that would kill her. She is very paranoid, she use her power on almost everything.
• She doesn't like to do things that put her in danger, but life makes her do a lot of crap. (That's what she likes to say)
• She was a coward but that part of her died a long time ago (but at the same time, she's a thrill seeker.)
• Verde is the only person she met that makes her power seem useless. Always doing something that had a low chance, it's why she usually does what he asks her to do.
• When she uses her power, her eyes are similar to Fuuta. It's like a voice whispering it to her. She really doesn't understand her power, not really.
I like Verde when he is shown as a awkward human scientist who becomes a little too crazy when he finds something new and people think he is a crazy scientist who will kidnap you if you show a interesting ability (he would, he totally would because he's a crazy scientist but he has a small heart buried very deeply under the crazy, so he might treat you well. Like a pet.)
Her ability works by asking a question like 'what the chances of me surviving if I jump off this bridge into the water below?' It would give a percentage like 93%, so she jumps and gets injured badly. But she's alive, if she had asked if she would get injured, it would've gave her the percentage of 100. Does that make sense?
