I don't own KHR, just the OC's I throw into it.
I suck at grammar, tenses, and sometimes spelling.
Have a good day!

I sighed as darkness closed around me, it wasn't a bad darkness, I could start to feel my body once more, voices starting to enter my ears.
"Wake up!" Something hard hit my head, making me fall to the ground.
"OWWW!" Opening my eyes, I looked up at the baby above me.
"Reborn! What the fuck?!" The baby merely stared at me blankly before turning to the four figures behind him, all babies.
"They're here." I scowled and sat up, rubbing the bump on my head.
"You wouldn't wake up." I got up and sat back in the chair, staring at the five of them, Fon, Skull, Colonello, Reborn, and Lal Mirch.
"Fine, I'm up, ask away so I can leave already."
"Name." I turned my glare to Reborn.
"Serena."
"How did you receive that pacifier, and what happened to the colours?"
I answered their questions to the best of my ability, without revealing that I knew the future, which was a pain. They conversed among their selves about CheckerFace. I could only sigh and gaze out the window once more, hearing their hushed whispers and Skull getting hit every so often. Soon enough, I heard a phone ring. Turning to them, I saw Fon give a wave before making his way to the door, the others followed soon after. Once they were gone, Reborn came up to me.
"You said your mother was Lynn Garcia?" I nodded at him, staring, trying to figure out why that was relevant.
"Where is she?" He asked so softly, I barely heard him. My body froze is surprise, I stared at him, his hat shadowing his eyes. Getting off my chair, I kneeled down before him, not really understanding what I was doing. He watched me with his beady eyes as I reached towards his pacifier, lifting it up slightly, sitting under it on a chain, was a silver band encrusted with three yellow jewels.
"Y-You're..." I let my arms drop as I stared at him, picturing his adult self, when I thought of Lynn's memories, I pictured him in place.
Reborn was my dad.
"Well?" I looked down at him, lost for words.
"I-I don't..." He looked about to say something, until his phone went off. Lifting it to his ear, he scowled. Closing it, he put it back in his pocket before turning back to me.
"Dame-Tsuna is in trouble." With that sentence, he jumped off the chair and made his way to the door.
"You can stay here, I'll come back and get you when I've taken care of the problem." I watched as he left.
"Reborn?" The door closed behind him, I stood up slowly, leaning on the chair.
"What the hell!"
✿O ‿ O✿
I groaned and laid upside down on the couch, I was grateful that he had clothing brought to me, I was unhappy that it was just jeans and t-shirts though. My dress was finally washed and returned, having taken a day, which was bull. My mind turned back to Lynn's memories, back the the man, back to my, father. Was Reborn really...
Knock Knock Knock
My head turned towards the door. "Who could that be?" Rolling off the couch, I stood up, wincing as my head spun, I walked over to the door and gazed into the peephole. A woman stood outside, someone very familiar. I unlocked the thing and opened it. She turned to me and gave me a smile, dark green hair flowing behind her, orange and blue flower tattoo screaming at me.
"Hello, I'm Aria." I stepped back and let her in, knowing exactly who she was already.
"S-Serena." I have to admit, she's a lot prettier in person. We went to the living room, sitting on the couches.
"So, I'm guessing Reborn left already?" I could only nod at her, trying to find my words. Aria placed her hands into her lap.
"I'll get straight to the point, my visions have been very blurry as of late, blocked by a silver flame, all I could see was a silver pacifier. Which, I'm sure is you," She pointed at my pacifier and smiled, "there also seems to be a dark figure lurking in the corners, but I'm never able to fully glimpse at it." I felt something constrict my throat, a dark figure, ill intentions, unable to think, scared, death. Shaking my head, I turned back to her.
"I... I sometimes see a dark figure in my dreams, it... it left flames within me. I only just removed them recently." The woman nodded her head.
"Whatever it is, be very careful, they seem to bear ill will towards the Pacifier holders." Aria stood up, dusting her skirt off.
"I just needed clarification, I'll be on my way, remember, be careful." She gave me one last smile before making her way to the door.
"B-Bye." I waved at her as she left, standing by the couch, standing there awkwardly. Swallowing, I began to walk to my room to change.
"What's up with this? Why was she so..." Vague? Empty? "whatever, I guess I'll explore."

Takeshi
He sighed as Tsuna groaned from his place in the hospital room. It has only been a few days, not even a week, and they were attacked once more. Luckily, Dino was there, taking care of them, Reborn showed up a day later, taking care of the rest. He couldn't help but wonder where Serena went, she was there for a moment, unless it was a hallucination?
"Reborn-san, do you know where Serena-chan is?" The kid didn't even turn to him.
"No." Takeshi felt something is his gut stir.
Reborn lied.
He didn't pry, knowing it would just make Reborn annoyed and want to hurt them. So, he waited.
He hated waiting.

Serena
I swore as I stumbled around in the dark, I had gotten lost as I explored Tokyo. I tried to find my way back, only to get even more lost and confused. Hardly anyone was out anymore, just a few others walking around and looking shady, I avoided them. Groaning, I turned down a random ally, not really thinking about where I was going, I was in some kind of industrial district, how I got there, I haven't a clue. I was also in shock that people could see me, I was constantly bumping into people, they also stared at me like I was odd.
"Watch out!" My eyes widened as a body collided into me. Swearing, I clenched my teeth and looked up at the assailant above me. My head was throbbing as I stared at him, even in the low light, I could see that he had a blue-ish hair colour. He kneeled down and helped me up, before I can yell at him, he began to run once more.
"Hey!" A woman then came barreling down the ally, as she neared, I felt myself freeze, she had cold dead light brown eyes, the same colour as my own, paired with short black hair. She also had a pole covered in silver coloured flames. She scowled as she saw me, swinging the pole towards me.
"Come on!" I felt something grab my wrist and jerk me away, dragging me out of the ally. Looking forwards, I saw it was the boy who collided into me.
"What the hell is going on?!" He ignored me and took me to a park, stopping near the playground.
"Hey!" I pulled my wrist from him as I panted, he was also panting, gulping in deep breathes. Looking up at me, he began to speak, only for a pipe to fly past his head.
"Shit!" Turning to the entrance, we saw the woman. She was holding onto the pole, not even winded.
"Give up Nathan, come back quietly, and your little friend might be spared." I felt cold, unable to feel my body.
"You know I can't do that, master." I looked between them, trying to find out where I knew the guy. An image appeared in my mind, a flash of a child with ash blue hair. Suddenly, she lunged forwards. I swore and leaped out of the way.
"Hey!" I watched as the teen rolled away and began to run.
"Why you-!" Before I could run after him, I felt a leg in my gut. This woman kicked me, I flew back a little, landing on my back, wind knocked out of me. Looking up at her, I watched as she slowly walked over to me.
"Poor thing, it seems you are not important at all." She raised the pole, heart speeding up, I felt everything around me slow, thoughts going haywire. The pipe thrown earlier was beside me, I picked it up and lifted it to block her. I screamed and rolled as it went right though.
"That won't work." I stared at the pipe in shock, the pole went right through it. Standing up, I began to run, her footsteps echoed behind me. I dodged each of her strikes, thinking about the short training that I had with Kyoya. He would be pissed when I got back.
Her pole connected with my left arm, I screamed in pain, feeling it crack. Falling to the ground, I held it, the feeling was gone, I couldn't even feel my flames running through it.
"It's over." She lifted the pole once more, ready to bring it down on my head. My eyes widened as she swung, I turned my head and closed them, waiting for the blow. All I heard was something hitting something, then a thud.
"Are you okay?" Opening my eyes, I turned to the voice. The teen stood above the woman's prone body.
"I'm sorry I ran, I just needed time to catch her off guard." The teen kneeled before her, taking a rope and tying the woman up.
"Sorry about your arm, it probably feels broken, hopefully it isn't, but that's how she uses her flames you see, Light flames have special properties, she utilizes hers to block flame usage when she connects her flames with her target." I watched as he finished his task, he turned to me and gave me a bright smile.
"It's nice you meet you by the way! CheckFace told me what happened, that you would be very vulnerable for a while. Don't worry, I promised to protect you!" I felt my face contort into a glare.
"CheckerFace?" He nodded, I was about to say something, until the ropes holding Lynn burst into flames. The teen shook his head and turned the woman over, she was glaring at him.
"I got special rope from Whono-whatever. You can't destroy these." The woman had her head down, not sure what to do in that situation.
"Why... why are you helping that man?" The teen ignored me.
"Can you use your flames?" I scowled and held my arm, not really knowing what else to do. The teen turned serious.
"Lynn is under control, by a man named Daniel, the same man who created me." I felt my body freeze in place, hearing that name confirmed my suspicions. This woman...
"This man has taken innocent children and killed them, experimenting on them to try create natural light flames users. Most subjects die, I happen to be one of the few to survive." He sighed and turned to the woman on the ground.
"He controls a person by injecting them with the seven flames of sky, plus his own Light flames. The seven flames mess with the persons system while his own take control of the victim. When you're affected by it, you will be a ghost like figure, unable to touch other humans without light flames. Once the control is complete, you'll have no free will, basically stuck in your own mind. " Nathan scratched at his neck.
"The only way to undo it is to inject the victim's own flames into them, even just a little, with another light flame. This is almost impossible due to the rareness of Light flames and acquiring said persons flame."
"And you think I could do this, why?" He gave me a smile.
"Because you're her daughter! Children always get imprinted with their parent's light flame, even if they don't manifest it in their life, it's always there." How did he even know that? I looked down at my dress, slightly dirty due to falling, I just had the stupid thing washed to.
"Why can't you do it?"
"I wouldn't be able to even if I tried, I'm not her child, and even if I did, her body would reject it, violently." I sighed and looked up to Lynn. Her cold blank eyes stared right at me. I lifted my good arm, feeling my flames running through it, I called up the flames left in me, pooling them into my hand and manifesting them, soon, a ball of Light flames danced in my palm.
"Place it on her head." I reached forwards, watching as the woman became panicked, trying in vain to escape. My hand connected with her forehead, flames melting into it. Soon, her body froze, her eyes rolled back into her head, she fell forwards onto me. My flames flared for a moment, until I was suddenly falling as well.
"Hey!" I heard the teen with me yell. My mind blanked, all I could think about was the woman before me, and the baby hitman.
✿O ‿ O✿
It was dark, everything around me pitch black. I reached my hands forwards, unable to see or touch anything.
"Hello?" I called out, wondering where the hell I was.
"You abandoned them." Voices came somewhere behind me, turning, I saw a man in a purple cloak standing over a down woman. She held her head in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably. Another version of her appeared behind her.
"Why do you still try, dear Lynn, we both know that you're to weak, that you'll never defeat me." The woman gave a cruel grin as she patted the other's shoulder. She stood up and gave a smirk to the man. I moved my legs, running towards them. The other woman scowled at the sight of me, her pale and dead features contrasting with the woman below her.
"How dare you enter my domain!" The man turned his head to me, merely scoffing before giving a sick smile.
"I will see you soon, Serena Smith." I felt my flames flare in response, my mind blanking as I manifested something, a diamond flew towards them.
"How dare you attack me!" They had jumped back and away from the prone woman. The man dissipated in silver flames, while the woman manifested a staff. The diamond came back to me, it was curved on the sides, with one side longer than the other, it also had another diamond cut in the middle, leaving it hollow.
"GET OUT OF HER HEAD!" Using my flames, I made more, I then shot them at the woman, keeping her away from the downed one. With the thought of distracting the woman in mind, I kneeled beside Lynn.
"M-mom?!" I grabbed her shoulders and shook her. She continued to cry, unaware of the world around her. Not that it was much. I felt something stir in my gut, I pushed her away and threw myself back, staring in shock at the pole that was where she once was. I felt my face contort in anger.
Something stirred from within my mind. Shaking it off, I took two of the diamonds and changed them into something I was more used to, short swords. Once upon a time, I practiced with them for the hell of it. They stuck.
The doppelganger ran towards me, making a new staff as she neared. Bracing myself, I lunged for her, making use of my speed.

LyNn
Her mind was in shambles, that much she knew, nothing would ever be the same again. She would never meet her daughter, she would never see her husband again, she would never get to see the outside world ever. All because she thought she could trust that man, yet time and again, he proved her wrong. Killing her family, taking her daughter away, killing her husband, and sealing her away.
"GET OUT OF HER HEAD!" A voice resonated through the depths of my mind, I felt something warm enter, something I had never felt before, something familiar. Weapons hitting each other filled my ears, yelling and panting assaulting me. I felt hands on my shoulders again, they were so warm, my body was thrown away from them, I couldn't help but yearn for them to hold onto me once more.
I was so cold.
'give in' A voice echoed around me, the same one that locked me away, forever in my memories, forever in agony.
"SHUT UP!" The younger voice screamed, I head an explosion, soon, the fighting stopped. My sobs began to stop, warmth enveloped my being.
"M-mom... wake up... please." Something in me stirred, the voice sounded so tired, so defeated. Something wet hit my cheek, and for the first time in so long, I opened my eyes, only to see them reflected right back at me. Blood was coming out of her mouth, she was kneeling over me, holding onto what looked like a spear, a spear that was coming out of her abdomen. Her black hair fell around her face, long and straight, the way mine used to be. The more I stared at her, the more I thought about myself, she looked just like me when I was younger.
"Please... help." The spear was ripped from her body, the girl fell on top of me, I couldn't move as another version of me stood over us.
"How pitiful." She raised the spear once more, intending to stab the both of us. Grabbing the girl, I rolled away. The girl below me raised her hand, flames gathering into it.
"Wake... up." She placed the flames onto my forehead, memories entered my mind, memories that I wanted to forget so badly.
They confirmed one thing.
"How dare you harm my daughter." I placed my hand on the girl and channelled sun flames into her. She stared at me with half lidded eyes. I then stood up, feeling everything I've repressed deep down.
"Get the hell out of my head." Flaring all of my flames, I watched as the other woman screamed, she held her own head, tears flowing down her face, her body soon faded away, her existence wavering and disappearing for good. I then went back to the teen, applying more sun flames to her wounds.
"I'm so sorry."

Serena
My body was on fire, the fight in Lynn's mind did nothing to my body, but it gave me awful phantom pains. I groaned and turned over, opening my eyes slowly, I took in the scenery, we were in what looked like an abandoned building. Black hair flooded my vision as I sat up, pushing it away, I saw both Lynn and Nathan sitting across from me.
"S-Serena?" I watched as the woman's face contorted into sorrow, tears gathered in her eyes as she stared at me.
"Y-you look... just like me." Her hands found her face as she cried, I slowly got off the thing I was lying on and stumbled over to her, doing my best to ignore the pain I felt. Without thinking, I lifted my arms and hugged her, the body under me froze for a moment, her arms linked around me slowly, as if unsure if they should even touch me. Soon enough, I felt tears of my own cascading down my cheeks.
"I-I'm so... sorry... I'm so..." Lynn's arms tightened as she held onto me, her sobs echoed off the concrete walls around us. I held onto her, unable to bring myself to let go.
This was my mother.
My real mother.
"I know this is hard, and I know you really want to spend time together, but we really need to leave Tokyo, otherwise, Daniel will find us." Nathan's voice broke through our little reunion. I felt Lynn stiffen under me, her arms slowly dropped, removing myself from the woman, we turned to Nathan.
"Y-you're right, D-Daniel won't rest un-til he f-finds us." The woman wiped her tears away.
"We'll have t-time to talk about e-everthing la-later." She got off the couch, she stood with her back straight, eyes determined, giving us a smile, she held out her hands.
"Shall we?" Looking over to Nathan, he gave a bright smile before grabbing one. Wiping away my tears, I couldn't help but smile at them, placing my hand into hers.
"This might feel uncomfortable." Her flames then engulfed us, eyes widened in shock, I looked up to her, all I saw was her bright smile, then I blinked, and we were in a different place.
"What the fuck?"

So, yeah, sorry about my updates, for a few months... hope this is somewhat... good? I don't know, I had wrote it once before and lost everything... again. I really need to get a reliable computer. I kind of rushed it because I wanted to get to the next arc, the Varia if I remember? Ring battles and shit, anyway, hope you enjoyed. I will manage to get 5000+... soon.
