Chapter 29

Everyone fell silent. Tsuna and Byakuran froze when they felt something wrong.

Something went missing.

Someone was gone.

They turned to see a boy with a frog hat holding Lacie. Her eyes were closed, a small, pleasant smile on her lips. They turned to see Gamma hugging Yuni, helping her with the Life Flame. Yuni had tears down her cheeks, sobbing while staring at her friend's lifeless body.

The Vongola outside the dome were shocked to silence. Even Bel was frowning. Xanxus's glare seemed to intensify. Gokudera stand still, eyes wide. Ryohei closed his eyes, taking in a shaky breath. Lambo tilted his head and asked Ryohei what happened to the girl. Nosaru and Tazaura felt pain. The little girl that had appeared one day and the Giglio Nero HQ having tea with their little princess, who always had pain in her eyes, who always seemed sad yet brought happiness and light in the dark world of the mafia with her sarcastic, monotone voice…lay lifeless in her twin's arms, and their boss and big bro…they were gone.

Tsuna roared in anger as he charged at Byakuran.

The only thing on his mind was that Lacie's death was his own fault. He couldn't protect her and she… No. This is Byakuran's fault. He's the one who caused all of this in the first place.

Lacie didn't deserve this.

Yamamoto froze in his spot. They had found Squalo and were almost at the battle field. He felt like someone important had been hurt. Severely.

Squalo felt his younger rival freeze. He turned to yell at the boy but froze when he saw the look on his face. It was as if he felt dread. Then something clicked in Squalo, he looked forward.

He felt it.

A bond that had just snapped in two, and bond broken. Something happened, and it isn't good. They started going again at a faster pace. Bianch and Giannini had head to where Reborn would be with the girls and Fuuta.

They reached it, and were meted by a roaring Tsuna. Everyone was frozen. It was then they noticed Fran and Gamma in the dome. Gamma was hugging a crying Yuni tightly, and Fran was…

Fran was holding his twin's motionless body, stroking her hair slowly. A dress hugged her body, a little dirty now, but still looked beautiful on her.

They now had new found strength, running over to where everyone was. They froze.

Lacie wasn't moving. Her eyes were closed, a small smile on her lips as if content and peaceful…as if free. Free from pain and suffering. Free from the world.

Squalo noticed silent tears going down the emotionless, annoying frog kid's eyes. Fran doesn't show emotion. Ever. What had happened in the time they were gone?

Everything worsened when Yuni and Gamma were finally consumed by the Life Flame and disappeared. Leaving behing only their clothes, a couple of box weapons, and a Sky Pacifier.

Byakuran died, Tsuna had saved the world. The dome had disappeared, and everyon ran over to the used-to-be Gamma and Yuni, and also Lacie.

They stood around, Reborn and the rest running over to see what had happened. Bianchi, Fuuta, Kyoko, I-Pin, and Lambo cried at the sight of the girl and finding out what had happened with Yuni and Gamma. Haru only stared at Lacie's lifeless body in disgust but had no emotion on her face, she never liked her, what's the point of crying over someone you don't give a shit about? She didn't even know the girl. Reborn pulled his fedora down, his niece was gone and a good rival dead with a smile on her face. It pissed him off, the girl always knew what was going to happen next, as if she had the power of divination like Luce, Aria and Yuni, but stronger. He had forgetten of that power, hence the situation they were in. He noticed something strapped around her waist, a clear string, holding something that were under her back, hidden by her hair. He jumped down, everyone looked curious at his actions. He reached and pulled on the string, bringing out the hidden box weapons.

Everyone's eyes widened at the sight.

She could have fought, yet she didn't. She left them, to be free. Was she that selfish or was their a reason?

Fran reached for the mist box, Tsuna grabbed the sky box, Squalo took the rain, Gokudera the storm, and Ryohei the sun. They punched in the rings once lit with the accurate flame, a bright light surrounding everyone.

They opened their eyes, shocked at the box weapon's that had come out.

They were Pokemon. Legendary Pokemon's at that. There was Lugia and Shadow Lugia, Latios and Latias, then there was Mew.

Lugia and Shadow Lugia looked sadly at their owner's…No, their caretaker's dead body. Mew, Latios and Latias had started crying and, what looked like, asking the other two if they knew that this would happen. They seem to nod at the younger weapon's, sadness in their strong eyes.

It was incredible what weapons she had, they seemed to care for her, love her and look out for her. Why she didn't call them out was a mystery.

Latios and Latias looked like they were in an argument with Lugia and Shadow Lugia who were only ignoring them and looked at Mew who seemed suspiciously quiet. Mew disappeared and went back into it's box.

Lugia and Shadow sighed as Latios and Latias followed pursuit and returned to their boxes. They turned to each other and nodded. They turn to Tsuna and the rest and bowed their heads before returning to their boxes as well. Everyone but Fran and Squalo went over to Yuni and Gamma's clothes and paid their respects.

"…I never got a chance to really know her," Fran said, not really talking to anyone.

"That's practically your fault, you know," Squalo commented, sighing. The girl was annoying when she was younger, but when she turned thirteen, she disappeared for a while before returning. She had the grimmest face he'd ever seen on her. Something happened when she disappeared, and no one knows.

Someone suddenly ran up to them, looking wide eyed at the girl in Fran's arms.

"Lace-chan!" He ran to the girl and knelt on the opposite side of where Fran and Squalo were. Tears ran down his cheeks, he took something out from his pocket…a DS. Not DSi, not a 3DS or 3DS XL, just a normal DS. It had a game in it and the power-light was flashing green every few seconds.

Tsuna walked over to the boy and explained what had happened. He apologized for not being able to save her but the boy only shook his head, holding out the DS to the boy.

"It's alright, Tsuna-san. I knew this would happen, she told me before she left with Yuni to arrive at the Choice battle. I went back to Millefiore's base to retrieve this, it was always sitting in her room charging. She never played it after the merge, I thought she would want to at least have this when she…left…" The boy smiled sadly. Everyone froze at the statement the boy had just made. She already knew this would happen. Everything that has happened, she knew it would happen.

Fran stared at this boy, who was he? Why was he so close to Lacie?

Tsuna took the DS, opening it. His he messed with a few buttons, eyes widening before smiling, holding it out to Fran.

"Go through her Pokemon," Tsuna had tears in his eyes.

Fran took the little game system and looked through all the Pokemons she had. His body froze on a particular Pokemon. It was a Serperior, beautiful and elegant, it was obviously her favorite since it was a higher level than the rest of her Pokemon. It had a name as well, a name that belonged to said person holding the game system. She named it after him. He looked through all the Pokemon quickly, noticing she had a Pokemon name after each and every person standing her. He froze once again on seeing the name of the person who caused her death. The name was right there, 'Byakuran.' She named all of her Pokemon after all the people she met. There was Tsunayoshi, Hayato, Takeshi, Ryohei, Mukuro, Kyoya, Dino, Xanxus, Squalo, Bel, even Levi! Then Bianchi, Fuuta, Lambo, I-Pin, Kyoko, those were all the names that were given to most of her Pokemon. Though there was one, a low level that said 'BitchAssHo.' He had no clue who that was but she must have hated them. Then he noticed another name that he didn't recognize. It read 'Akira.'

"…who's Akira?" He voiced out. The boy that had brought the DS raised his hand.

"That's me…"

"…who are you to Lacie?"

"I'm right-hand man… but I am….was her best friend." Fran nodded and looked back at the two screens. He clicked around a bit before coming up on her name card. She had chosen a different name than her own for some reason. Her 'Trainer ID Card' or whatever it was called had the name 'Madeline' on it. A beautiful name, but why not her own? He closed the DS.

"Does she have anymore games?" He asked the boy, Akira.

"Yes, I brought them as well." He took them out from his pocket, holding his hand out. Fran reached out, almost touching to Akira's hand. Akira flinched as he dropped the games into Fran's hand and snatching his hand away. Fran raised a eyebrow at this. "S-sorry, it's just that… If anyone touches me, I go out of control and go massacre anyone in my way…"

"…how did you attend parties?"

"We never went to any. Lace-chan was always concerned over me, besides, she doesn't like crowds nor parties."

"What about her?"

"Lace-chan would never hurt me though." Akira had only blinked in surprised when Fran asked him that. She promised that she wouldn't when they first met. She had put a hand on his shoulder, furious when he ignored her question. His eyes went wide and was about to kill her when she hugged him. He could still remember it, it was the first time he had someone understood his pain.

"Is it true you were experimented by the Estraneo?" A girl about his age asked him. He only turned and walked away. He had walked over to the garden, to get some peace when he heard running heading his way. The girl from before grabbed his shoulder and turned him around, his eyes went wide, taking out hidden knives and ready to strike. Familiarization ran across the face as she smiled. He only took it as a taunt and charged at her in high speed. She didn't move, but once she was close she hugged him. He had froze in his spot, unable to move a muscle for some reason, shocked.


"It's okay, I was too…" She whispered in his ear.

"W-what?" He was confused, what was she talking about?

"I was experimented by the Estraneo as well." His eyes widened. She went through the pain of those experiments too? "What's your name?"

"…Akira…" He had relaxed in her embrace. It was warm and comforting. In the time it took them to calm down, they had slid down to where they were sitting. Her legs on either side of him while he was on his knees, still hugging her.

"Nice to meet you, Akira! My name is Lacie! Wanna be friends?" She asked excitedly.

"F-friends?"

"Yeah! I don't have any…"

"S-sure…"

"Alright," she pushed him away, smiling at him, while he blinked. "Let's learn about each other, Akira, as each other's first friend!"


It was a special day for him, his first friend, and one who knew his pain.

Fran took the games and looked through them. There was The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass, two versions of Pokemon Rangers, Pokemon: Soul Silver and Pokemon Platinum Version. He recognized the one already inserted in the DS as Pokemon: Black. Of course she didn't have any girly games, that wouldn't be right, even if she's a girl. He gripped the games and put the games with the DS in his pocket.

"What are you-"

"I want to at least have something of hers. She was my sister and I treated her like shit when I didn't even let her explain. It's my fault she's dead."

Everyone looked over, Fran was blaming himself for this when it wasn't his fault. It wasn't…right?

"It's my fault. I killed two of her men, severed the alliance with her Famiglia, told her I hated her, and this is what happened."

"Whatever you say, it was still Byakuran," Everyone turned to Reborn, "Byakuran was the one who forced her to merge with the Millefiore."

"She was more faithful and attached to the Vongola that her own Famiglia," Akira had added. "She spent most of her time there. Teasing Tsuna-san, messing with Gokudera, laughing with Yamamoto, sparring with Hibari, spending time with Lambo, even. For some reason she distanced herself from Chrome, she would smile then frown and walk away as if remembering herself not to go near her. She was always the one with the most secrets that she would never tell…" Akira explained.

"A top magician never reveals their secrets," Fran sighed. It was a basic rule for illusionists, to hide truth in lies, lies in truths, never revealing their secrets or motives. He grabbed the box weapons and stored them away before carefully picking Lacie up. Compared to him, she was completely light, as if lacking the right nutrients.

"Lacie…you better be ready for a scolding in the past…" He mumbled.

"VOI! He have to at least give her a funeral or something!" Squalo voiced out, not wanting to burry the girl underground, though, even if dead.

"We're no burying her," Tsuna's voice surprised everyone. It was sad, angry, yet serious and demanding, in a way. "We put her in a coffin, like mine, and leave her on Vongola property and somewhere where the sky is shown to the girl who made a huge impact on our lives. Along with Yuni and Gamma's clothes, to, we'll place them on either side of her, making sure she's never alone. Also put it next to my coffin, she would have liked that..."

Everyone nodded. Hey, never mess with the boss, even if his younger self was 'Dame'…he had those moments when he can be out-right scary, courtesies of Reborn and Lacie.

The Arcobaleno showed up, telling them that they were going to give them some memories from the future, so this wouldn't be forgotten. Lacie would also get the memories but probably already knew that it would happen, but they didn't tell them that.

The Arcobaleno attended the nice, intriguing girl's funeral, having become fond of the girl the years she spent with Vongola. She was nice, but she'd always have a sad or painful look in her eye.

It was sad that she had to die at such a young age along with Gamma and Yuni.

Yuni, their boss…gone. But, there is still hope.

Yuni and Lacie might still be out there…


I look around, wondering where I was. I wasn't wearing the, rather revealing, dress. Instead, I was sitting in front of a tree wearing these white shorts and top that shows my stomach. Total déjà vu again.

In any case, I had no clue where I was. Then in the distance, I saw a small town, big enough for the people already living here, but small compared to most.

I came to a conclusion, seeing as I've been here before.

I'm in France.

I looked around, finding something next to me.

My wallet, with money and credit card in it from when I was in the future, but no one needs to know that, just that it has a lot of money in it.

Okay, if I'm here…then my plan worked! YES! I'M NOT DEAD…YET!

Yeah, I'll have to revert to my younger self soon, as well as Yuni. Then I'll go back to the future(CLASSIC MOVIE)

Well, if I'm in France, that means…FRAN! ERRHMERHGERHD!

But I thought about it a bit, he'll recognize me, after gaining memories of the future.

Fuck.

He's going to lose those memories, having being in an accident that hurt his head.

I have to go help him.

I can't let him forget.

I paused.

Forget the future.

Forgetting me dying.

Forgetting our fight.

…I'm still helping him. He's my younger(temporarily, since I am actually sixteen right now,) brother. Just gotta change my hair… great. I got up, grabbing my wallet, noticing I have socks on, white ones just to match, yay. Note the sarcasm. I also noticed that I had no scratch on me, whatsoever. I saw the thinnest layer of sky flames surrounding my body, protecting me from any harm. I started running to town, getting a few glances from people I passed by. I made it to a local beauty shop, shivering, I entered it. The lady then asked me something in French, I understood, but I hadn't practiced French in a while…

'I…I look…no… I'm looking for some brown hair dye and blue contacts," I answered. The lady looked at me bemused, but then just laughed lightly when I spoke fluently. She looked like a nice lady compared to most who work at these kind of stores.

"You look like you were born here in France yet had trouble speaking it, why is that, miss?" She asked me, motioning me to follow her to an aisle.

"How should I put this… I was born here, but I was raised in Italy by a man who adopted me, so I had to learn their language. I haven't spoken in this language in quite some time." I answered.

"Well, just so you know, you look like the older and female version of a little boy I know," She laughed, smiling at me. "The same eyes and hair color…even the little marks below your eyes that look like tears…do you happen to a boy named Fran?" I shake my head, lying.

"I don't. My hair and eyes are natural but I got these marks after being adopted, making sure to show my step-father I would never obey him freely ever again," I answered, lying again, but it a way, it was true. I did do something to show that bastard I would never listen to him willingly.

She nods her head, looking through the colors of brown. I chose a light but dark color, it was the same color as the one from my previous life. The lady then showed me to where they had colored contacts.

"I suspect that you are trying to hid from somebody?" The lady chuckled when I flustered. I sighed before nodding.

"I just have things to do, people to see, and also people to protect…"

"The moment you walked in through the door, I saw the pain in your eyes. You looked as though you had just been through the worst day of your life," She commented. I laughed, this lady was nice. "Though why would a girl like you be trying to hide? Are you involved with the mafia?" I froze before nodding. A look of understanding came across her face, smiling at me. "It's alright sweety, I used to be in the mafia, too." To say I was surprised was an understatement. How could a nice lady like her have been involved with the mafia?! "I retired when a man killed my son in front of my own eyes. I even changed myself a bit, I used to be a ruthless women, you know? You know what Famiglia I was from?" She leaned in, "Vongola."

"Then you must know about the dying will flames…" She nodded. I fidgeted a bit, looking at the color of lenses she had. "Can I tell you something? But you can't tell anyone, you have to swear on you sons grave," She smiled sadly, knowing I'd been hiding something, and nodded. "You know Fran? He's actually my twin brother."

"…it's quite possible, giving the possibilities. Does that mean you're-"

"Yeah, I'm from the future, I came here because I know for a fact that Fran is going to hurt his head and lose his memories, and I can't do that. But I can't let him see me how I am now, he'll be suspicious…"

"I see, I suppose you'll need to cover those marks up, too, then? I'll help you out, I've grown quite fond of you in the little time we've spent together." I gave her a small smile as I picked out the color contacts.

"As have I."


BITCHIN'

Anyways, sorry if I took a while, I was going to update earlier but I got in a huge fight with my sister and my brother and aunt had to help her get away from me. In the end I winded up crying, knees pulled to my chest, rocking back and forth, while crying and sitting deep with my mother's walk-in closet. Just to tell you, NO PITY, my sister abuses me from time to time. She basically lashes her anger out on me, and I can't do anything about it.

Story of my life right there.

Collab with LeoInuyuka?! Are you kidding me?! I'm not even close to being as good as that amazing writer! Though I could see that if we did that it would totally be either a crack fic, hilarious fic, or depressing fic…actually, it would be all of them mixed together. I can see it now, man. Has no name, but I can see it. XD Here, I'll explain the life orb to you:

Lacie was concentrating on making her soul/life become into an orb/sphere containing more knowledge than her younger self knows and her current flames which have strengthened over the years. It was not yet complete when it was knocked out of her grasp, her still having enough life to live, but was going dizzy because of the lack of life in her. Meaning she was dying. When she got it back, she used what life she had left and ran to Yuni, putting the last of her energy/life into the orb and explained to Yuni what to do, getting weaker and weaker as she was dying, so she collapsed from lack of energy and strength. When Fran got to her, she was almost dead anyways. She couldn't answer the last question because she couldn't, she had no energy.

Though, on the contrary, she is very well alive. Here's a hint(SPOILERS EVERYONE! :D) – Her flames are the orb. I'll be posting a picture on deviantArt(Not colored, too much work) to see if it helps you guys :) Did that help you to understand?

The Ice Sorceress – I know right. When I saw how crazy he was, in reality(of his world[s] anyways), I was like 'Holy shit, is this really the same sexy-marshmallow-eating-evil-sexy-bastard…wait, I said sexy twice…' …..That was literally my thought process on that… I know what you're talking about. Talking to yourself internally or externally is the first step to insanity…that makes me one step closer to losing my sanity. Yeah, I talk to myself. Awe, thanks, I worked hard on it! :D Really? I used to suck at drawing actually, but I practiced really hard and that's where it got me today. :3 And yes, Enma shall appear in this story of mine that you are reading… :D Why would I ever leave out my little Enma-chu?! NEVER IN MY LIFE TIME!

Oh, by the way my peeps. If you guys want to see my deviantArt account, the link is on my profile thing! :)
