Beep beep I'm a sheep... I think I'll just drop all the suffix and shit, it's annoying me. Soooo, yeah, I'm actually working on this, I completely forgot about it, a lot of shit happened over to past year. Stress, anxiety, depression, death, more depression, pretty much all in order. I'm starting to feel like myself again. Hope you guy enjoy, I didn't put this in the last chapter because I already had that one finished, and I didn't feel like going in and adding to it.

✿¬‿¬✿

"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?"

✿¬‿¬✿

I stared wide-eyed at our new surroundings, we were in a forest. I turned to Lynn, wanting to question her, only to see her fist raised.

"Language." She brought it down on the top of my head, Nathan laughed beside us, I couldn't even be mad at her, a part of me glad that I had someone treating me like an actual daughter, for once. My mouth broke out into a smile.

"Hey!" The three of us ended up all laughing together. I felt the smile falter as I turned back to the forest around us, thinking about my thought, I had a adopted mother, she treated me like a daughter, so why did I think that?

"Where exactly are we?" Lynn walked forwards, beckoning us with her hand.

"Let's get moving, it's not that far from here." Looking to Nathan, he shrugged and followed after her. Shaking my head, I began after them. The forest began to thin out the further we got, I watched as the two before me would speak quietly, I couldn't hear them. Sighing, I slowed down for a moment, taking a breather, I looked back to them and began to speed up.

"Hey, wait for me!" They slowed down, once I caught up, I turned to Nathan to ask him something. When I stared at his face, I saw that it seemed to be frozen.

"Nathan?" His mouth was open, as if he was about to say something, no words came out, Lynn was the exact same.

"H-hey... this isn't funny." I placed my hand on him to try shake him, he didn't budge, it was as if he was made of stone. Stepping back from them, I looked all around me, becoming aware that everything around us had stopped. There was no sound, no wind blowing the trees, no birds singing in the distance, there was no ambience.

It was quiet.

"Guys?" My heart beat seemed to blare in my ears. Suddenly, without notice, a high pitched screeching was heard behind me, turning around, I saw a man, he was wearing a long purple cloak, it had a hood that covered his features, all I could see was his chin. He gave a cruel smile before lifting up his hand. Silver flames coated it.

"Die." My throat tightened, I felt as if I couldn't breath. My sight wavered as I began to get dizzy. I felt my flames flare up deep inside me, they began to get hot, burning my insides.

I screamed.

"YAAHOOO!" I felt the air shift around me, and suddenly I was being held in someones arms. Like a puppet with their strings cut, the two behind me fell to the ground, I felt my flames die down, and I could breath once more. All I saw was a green uniform, looking up at the person holding me, I couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Mukuro?!" He gave me a smirk and set me down, turning to the other two, I saw that they were throwing attacks at the cloaked man, none of them seemed to hit, making them more aggravated. A trident materialized in the teens hand beside me. He walked forwards to engage with the others. Turning to Lynn and Nathan, I saw that they were both gasping for breath. I crawled over to them, turning Lynn on her side so I can see her. She opened her eyes and gazed towards the teens.

"T-they can't... they'll... die." I paused as I turned back to the others, they seemed to be doing fine, yet, the cloaked man had yet to attack back. The three seemed to not be giving it their all, they appeared to be testing the waters so to speak. Lynn pushed herself to sit up, gasping for air as she did so.

"What's going on?" She turned to me and winced.

"His hold on us... is more powerful... than I... I anticipated." She took a deep breath before turning back to the one-sided fight, "He found us in... no time... I was... careless."

"What do we do?" Her eyes seemed to glaze over before she fell forwards.

"Mom!" I caught her, holding onto her as my thoughts began to go into overdrive, trying not to make myself panic. Laying her beside Nathan, I turned to the others. They seemed to be wearing themselves out. Standing up, I made my way in their direction, feeling my legs wobble as I neared. I reached into my mind beckoning the flames within to come forwards, they came, rather slowly. Manifesting them outside of my body was, different, way different, unlike the other flames that used to inhabit my body, and Lynn's, my own seemed sluggish and hesitant to respond. Looking up at the others, I noticed the man, he brought his arm out of the cloak, and held what looked like a sword.

"R...run." I heard Nathan's voice from behind me. My body froze in place, my eyes found Mukuro and his gang, they all seemed to be in the same position as me. The man began to walk forwards, taking slow deliberate steps to the blue haired teen.

"M-Mukuro!" I felt myself shouting, the teen turned his head slowly to me, straining himself against an invisible force. I felt panic rise in my being, thoughts going haywire, body becoming numb. The more the man neared him, the more I began to panic. My flames screamed inside me, fighting against the force that held me. I felt my flames fill my body, becoming hotter as they moved inside me.

"S-Serena..." The man lifted his sword, and brought it down on the teen.

I felt myself scream.

Then everything went black.

✿¬‿¬✿

THIRD

His eyes widened in shock and horror at the turn of events, it wasn't supposed to be like this, he was just supposed to drop off the girl with Serena, give her some info, then go back to his prison and bid his time.

So why was he currently falling to the ground? Why was he bleeding profusely? Why did he bother trying to protect her?

"S-Stupid... girl." He felt the girl he was possessing crying in pain, he knew that she would be badly wounded, that she would need urgent medical care. So, why had he risked her life?

"MUKURO!" He felt his body hit the ground, could feel blood starting to pool around him, could hear Ken and Chikusa screaming his name. His eyes then turned to the girl once more, this time unhindered. She stood there in shock, flames dancing around her, manifesting into diamonds, gathering around her back. Her expression changed, turning into something more feral. With the sound of shattered glass, she flew straight at the man before him.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" She screamed, a diamond turned into a sword, she used it to slash at him, attempting to push him away. The man blocked it with his own, stumbling back a few steps from her sheer force. Mukuro felt his consciousness fading away, he cursed as the girl he was inhabiting began to sob from pain. He placed her back to sleep, she didn't need to feel this pain. Using his illusions, he began to mend the flesh, though it would only be a temporary fix, it would stop the girl from dying.

"Child, why are you fighting me? I am the one who placed you within that vessel? Do you not remember?" The girl glared at the man, pushing herself away from him she created another sword.

"I don't care who you are! NOBODY HURTS MY FRIENDS!" She launched herself at him once more, swinging each blade with practiced ease, using the diamonds at her back to block any attacks, as well as launching sneak attacks. The man dodged each one with ease, though she seemed to be pushing him back and away from the others.

"So, you have been integrated into her mind, it appears you are nothing but a failure, and here I had such high hopes for you." He took a swing at her, she blocked it, "Predictable." she felt herself get thrown away from him, her body hit the ground hard, blood began to pool in her mouth, she sat up and spit it out.

"It seems I'm out of time," the sword he was holding vanished from his hand, he turned away from her, "I will be seeing you again, Serena Smith." He disappeared in a burst of silver flames. Serena felt her body aching, she turned to those around her, the sound of glass shattering assaulted her ears, the others were able to move once more. She gave a strained smile before falling back to the ground, vision going black once more.

✿¬‿¬✿

First

Every hurt, my whole body was on fire. Voices sounded around me, whispering to each other, I tried to move my arm, it was sluggish, almost unresponsive. Opening my eyes, I saw a ceiling, the room I was in was dimly lit, just bright enough for me to make out the texture, it was wood. Turning my head, I noticed that there was another bed beside me, it held a girl with dark hair, she seemed to be asleep. I closed my eyes and focused on my body, on my mind, on my flames.

What had happened?

"Serena?" There was a creaking noise, the sound of a door, opening my eyes, I turned to the voice. There stood Lynn, she had tears in her eyes, she stood in the door, looking distraught, slightly hugging it as if to hide herself. I gave her a small smile, trying once more to move my body.

"W-wait! You need to rest." Pushing the door open, Lynn ran into the room and to my side, placing her hand on my shoulder.

"You... broke free of Daniel's ability, you... forced your way out, it put a huge strain on your flames." I relaxed and stared at her as she spoke to me, her face expressed her worry, she was like an open book.

"Daniel's flames are very invasive, the dominate over their opponent and lock them in place, using their own flames against them. You forced your way out, so, your flames are a bit unstable right now."

"W-will I be.. okay?" My throat felt sore, as if I had swallowed sand paper. Lynn reached to the side of my head, there on the bedside table was a lamp and a pitcher of water, she pressed a button, making the room a little brighter, she then poured a glass of water, lifting my head gently, she held it to my mouth. Once done, she set me back down and placed the glass back.

"With some rest, you should be fine, hopefully, I called for a doctor, he should be able to help you." I sighed and turned to the girl on the other bed, her hair contrasted against her pale skin. Lynn followed my gaze and turned to her as well.

"I've done all I can with my flames, but, she needs a better sun flame user." I felt my stomach tie into a knot. Chrome Dokuro, why was she here, does that mean, Mukuro... was there? I felt a headache start to form, closing my eyes, I looked back to Lynn.

"You can use sun flames?" Lynn smiled at me and nodded.

"Hmm, well, from what I learned from Daniel, all Light Flames users have them, as well as mist flames, though, the two flames are weaker than Light flames. Light flames are... a mutation, tit causes both flames to merge and manifest as something different." She sighed and began to hug herself, her face morphing into a frown.

"F-from my research, Light flames need both equal parts of flames, if any part is unbalanced, they don't produce the mutation. When created artificially, we needed two large sources of each flame, which, in this day, is hard to come by." Lynn closed her eyes and began to shake, I felt my arm move, slowly, it made it's way to hers.

"We, would kidnap children, take them away from loving families..." tears began to gather in her eyes and fall down her face, "we would inject them with each flame, boosting not only their own, but adding in another, and every time... they would die." A sob broke through her throat, she began to shake violently.

"M-mom." I squeezed her hand, showing her that she wasn't there, that she wasn't alone. Her shaking subsided slowly, she squeezed my hand back, grounding herself in the present.

"The only time we had a success, was with Nathan, and that's because... Daniel did something different, he used not only the flames, but his own Light flames. Somehow, it worked, Nathan was able to harness the flames." She shook her head and turned away, I could feel her tremor every other minute.

"Get some rest, I'll bring you something to eat in a while." She gently let go of my hand and wiped her tears, giving me a strained smile, she turned and left the room, shutting the door on the way out. I sighed and turned back to Chrome.

I felt my eyes begin to close on their own.

✿¬‿¬✿

The next time I woke up, Lynn was already by my side, she was sitting by the bed, this time on a chair, a book was held in her hands.

"Good morning." She looked up at me and gave me a smile, I couldn't help but smile back.

"G'morning." I gave out a yawn, stretching my body as I did.

"Good, you can move, that doctor was actually useful." I blinked and sat up slowly, marvelling at how easy it was, at how there was no pain. I turned to Lynn, she held up a spoon to my face, it looked like a broth?

"Eat up, it's chicken soup, I figured that liquids would be alright for you two. If you can stomach this then you can eat solids for lunch." I nodded my head and ate it.

"W-who was... the doctor?" She was smiling as she fed me, looking happy at doing something so insignificant.

"I think his name was, Shamal? Not to sure, but, he's the only mafia doctor in the area, and the only one willing to come out here." She sighed and placed the spoon down.

"It took some convincing, but I managed to bring him here, he was so shocked when we appeared right in the room," she grinned as she retold me, "though, once he saw the two of you, he became serious."

"Shamal..." I frowned and turned away from her, looking down at my lap. Shamal might know about me, might inform Reborn that I'm not in Tokyo anymore. "wait, Shamal? Isn't he in Namimori?" I turned back to Lynn, feeling my curiosity rise.

"That's right, I never told you where we were going." She stood up from her chair and walked over to the door, giving me a smile as she opened it. "We're just on the outskirts, I had a cabin built here some years ago. Don't worry, he doesn't know our exact location." She walked out of the room and closed the door. I turned back to the bowl on the bedside table, wondering why she only gave me one spoonful.

"Quite an eventful trip this turned out to be," Freezing in place, I turned to the voice, there in the bed next to me, was Mukuro, he was sitting up, staring at the closed door. He turned to me and gave me a smirk. "Don't you think?"

"Mukuro!" I felt so much relief at the sight of him, I pushed off the covers and jumped out of bed, throwing my arms around him. He grunted at the force, I felt his body stiffen under my arms.

"You're okay!" My eyes began to sting as I thought about what happened, even though I didn't know exactly what went down, I felt as if Mukuro was hurt, that something bad happened to him. I tightened my hold on him, feeling my body begin to shake. "I... I was so..." Scared?

"This body is still healing, Princess." He patted my back lightly before prying me off.

"You're such an odd girl, you know that, right? Stop touching me." I smiled at him, ignoring the pink dusting his embarrassed face. He sighed and crossed his arms, "The whole reason I even came here was to leave my vessel in your hands, only because you seem like a trustworthy person." He closed his eyes and turned away from me.

"Is that so, I don't mind, is it the girl with purple hair?" He nodded his head.

"Her name is Chrome, take care of her for me, unfortunately, the other two are also part of this, you'll be stuck with them too." I smiled again and nodded my head.

"Alright, it seems fair, since you guys got hurt protecting us, I'll make sure they're taken care of." Mukuro turned back to me and smirked.

"That's all I ask." Mist engulfed his form, and just like that, he was gone, and in his place, was Chrome. She blinked her one eye, staring at me in confusion.

"H-hello." Her voice was low, I almost didn't hear it. I gave her a bright smile, holding out my hand, she slowly took it.

"Hello, I'm Serena, Mukuro asked me to look out for you, I'll try my best to be of use." The girl blinked owlishly before she gave a timid smile and shook my hand.

"I-I'm D-Dokuro Chrome, p-please take care of me!"

✿¬‿¬✿

By the time lunch came around, Chrome and I were, friends? She was very timid, and didn't know what to say, I talked the whole time, telling her about some stuff from my old life, nothing that would give away that I knew their future, just anything interesting. She seemed to like it when I talked about art, maybe I would get some art supplies for us later.

"Lunch is ready, come eat." I watched as Ken and Chikusa dug in, as if they hadn't eaten anything in a while. Chrome waited for them to take their share before she helped herself, Lynn already had my plate ready for me.

"Come with me, I want to tell you something." I nodded my head, wondering where Nathan was. Holding my plate out to me, I took it from her, she then led me away from the others and to the back of the house, opening a door, she let me in. It was a office like room, bookcases on lined one wall, there was a desk in the middle of the room, a big window behind it with dark curtains, a table against another wall with chairs and a coffee machine on it. Nathan stood by the machine, pouring himself a cup, he turned when the door opened, giving us a smile and wave before going back to his cup.

"What did you want to tell me?" Lynn walked over to the desk and sat in it, gesturing to the chair in front of it, reminding me of a principles office. I sat down placing my plate in my lap.

"Let's eat first, we can talk when we're done." I nodded and dug into my plate, feeling famished. Once done, I placed it on the desk with the other dishes.

"Now then," Lynn folded her hands together, taking a deep breath, she stared at me, "as you know, from my flames, there was man, your father. His name is Leo Garcia, he was the best hitman of his generation." Tears gathered into her eyes as she spoke to me, I felt my body tense as her memories came back, blood, gunshots, screaming.

"Leo was... he... he would have loved you, s-so much." Placing her palm on her face, she took a few deep breaths before wiping her eyes and looking back at me. "Everyone seemed to be after him, either to kill him, or to get him to work for them. They did everything they could, and when he met me, fell in love with me. I became a target." She got up from her spot and lifted up her shirt, showing off her stomach.

"They tried to kill me, tried to kill you, yet, somehow, we survived." On her stomach, was a huge scar. I felt myself wince at the sight of it, hearing her screaming in my head over and over again.

"I think, I know how I ended up with Light Flames, when we were dying, all I could think about was saving you, making sure you lived. I called up all my mist flames, trying in vain to save you. Then, Leo appeared, he called all of his sun flames. As I told you before, with the perfect amount of flames, a light flame user can be created." She let go of her shirt and sat back down.

"I ended up unlocking the light flames from that, they took me away, somewhere safe. Which happened to be near a hospital. There, they not only saved me, they saved you. It was a miracle, the blade had completely missed you. I was hospitalized for a long time, only after you were born was I able to leave, even then I had to sneak us out." Her expression changed to sorrow, tears stinging her eyes.

"Daniel appeared, he, said things, it scared me, I ran back in and hid you, I then led him away, trying to lose him so that I can go get you back. Then, he must have gotten a hold of me, I don't remember much after that, all I knew was pain for so long. After a while, I was able to see again, but was unable to do anything. Daniel took control of me, making me his puppet. I've done so many horrible things under him, it hurts, it hurts so much." She sighed and brushed her bangs out of her face. 'She didn't say anything about being in a different world, why?'

"Mom... everything will be okay, you're better now, you're not under his control anymore. We have each other now." I gave her a bright smile, trying to ease the mood a little bit. I couldn't help but think of Reborn and his ring. 'Does she know Reborn is...?'

Looking down at my lap, I felt inside me, calling up my memory, I knew that Light flames were a mutation of sun and mist, so, that meant I could call upon the mist flames. Separating them was a bit of a struggle, I could hear Lynn call my name as I tuned them out, thinking of that memory, I brought the flames forwards. Feeling sweat go down the back of my neck, I opened my eyes.

"Where is she?" A baby in a suit appeared before us, he was sitting on a chair beside me, or the illusion me. His hat shadowed his eyes as I got up and walked over to him, kneeling down before him. He watched as I lifted up his pacifier, revealing a ring.

"T-that's!" Lynn gasped and placed her hands on her mouth, tears pooling in her eyes once more. The ring was a silver band, encrusted with three yellow jewels. She sobbed and reached into her own shirt, procuring a similar ring, a silver band, but with indigo jewels. Taking the chain off her neck, she handed it to me.

"Engraved o-on the inside, is... our initials." She cried as she stared at the baby, I let the flames go, feeling them fade away, sighing in exertion, I held the ring up to my face and looked at it.

LGLG 3 10/07

I stared at it for a moment before handing it back to Lynn, Leo and Lynn Garcia, married October 7th. She took the ring gently, wrapping it around her neck once more.

"H-how is this... possible, that's... Reborn... number one hitman... Arcobaleno." She looked sorrowful and thoughtful for a moment. Shaking her head, she turned back to me. "We can w-worry about t-this later, first things first, we n-need to train you guys, what happened with Daniel, we g-got lucky, we may not... get so lucky next time. I've devised a few things we can go over, but, it's going to take dedication and will, this training isn't going to be easy." She looked so serious, standing up, both Nathan and I nodded our head, agreeing to it.

Couldn't be to bad right?

✿¬‿¬✿

A whole month passed, I sighed and laid down on my bed, Lynn had gotten more beds for everyone, not much had happened over the course of the month, her training was harsh, something I didn't expect, then again, she was married to Reborn. I wasn't aloud to go see my friends, I found out that Reborn was pissed and had people out looking for me, thinking I was kidnapped, again. I also saw the pink haired girl once more.

She was my sister.

Well, half sister, she was one of the experiments that Lynn worked on. She had grown to attached to her, so Daniel had her 'kill' her, instead, Lynn sealed her memories and sent her away, all so that she could live. Saki was a happy go lucky girl, she loved her mother, and even loved me, even though she didn't even know me. She was so accepting of everything around her, even Ken took a liking to her, yet he still didn't like Chrome all to much. Not that she seemed to care. Turning to the girl, she was practising using the trident, she was much better using illusions, having trained with Lynn, who used to be a master at it. Nathan trained his own flames, focusing on separating them and using both sun and mist.

"Serena." Turning to the voice, I saw Chrome, she gave me a smile before she was engulfed in mist, and Mukuro took her place.

"How have you been, Princess." I sighed and sat up from my spot, feeling my face morph into a scowl. I don't even remember how he got to calling me that, he just started and it didn't stop.

"Why are you here, you damn pineapple." He placed one hand over his heart and the other on his head, even going so far as to lean back.

"My heart, my soul." I groaned and picked up a rock, throwing it at him.

"What do you want!" He laughed and gave me a smirk.

"When I was out the other day, I met an interesting man." I stopped glaring at him, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a chain, and on said chain, was a half ring.

"He said something about a fight, being a guardian to Tsunayoshi, and some other things. I accepted of course, after all, it gives me the opportunity to be closer to the future Vongola boss." I stared at the ring, feeling my gut stir at the sight.

The ring battles, they would happen soon.

"You're telling me this, why?" He shrugged his shoulders and turned away.

"The Arcobaleno is looking for you, even asked me to go to him if I saw you." Turning his head, he smirked and waved, disappearing in the mist and leaving Chrome. Groaning once more, I got to my feet.

"MOOOOOOMMM!"

✿¬‿¬✿

I felt my eye twitch as I stared at the school entrance, I could feel the two idiots smiling behind me. I had asked if I was finally able to leave the safety of the cabin, she refused, I pushed, now there we were, when I said I wanted to visit the school, I didn't want to teleport right to the roof top.

'YoU'rE nOt AlLoWeD tO gO aNy WhErE aLoNe SeReNa!' I sighed and turned to the two, feeling exasperated.

"You know I'll be safe right, I can take care of myself." Lynn just smiled and waved her hand, Nathan just stood near her with a smile of his own, not even paying attention. I felt a wave off killing intent before I heard the sound of a door slamming open.

"You." Turning to the source, I saw Kyoya, and he looked pissed. I spun on my heel and ran towards him.

"KYOYA!" He looked startled for a moment before he jumped to the side to dodge me. His expression changed to something dangerous before he sensed the other two. He glared at me and pointed his tonfa at them, I could see them tense up and narrow their eyes at him.

"Who are they." I smiled at him, placing my arms behind my back, making him tense.

"They're my family, that's my mom and brother." I could see an arrow hit Nathan in the heart, he kneeled down as Lynn patted his back. Idiot.

"Where have you been." I rocked back and forth on my heels, trying to find an excuse, or at least an escape, because if Kyoya knew I was here, then the others wouldn't be far behind. I needed time, or at least I wanted to ditch my dogs before I spoke to them.

"Oh you know, around?" Laughing lightly, I took in his features, he looked murderous. Rubbing the back of my head, I noticed that the door was still opened, lifting my wrist, I pointed at it.

"Well would you look at the time!" I spun and ran, feeling the prefect on my heels. I could hear Lynn and Nathan yell my name and chase after us. Using my flames, I felt my body become light.

"Sorry Kyo! I'll play with you later!" Turning a corner, I ran to a dead end, Kyoya stopped, thinking that I had no where to go, only to watch in shock as I ran right through the wall.

"See yah!" Using my flames, I left the school, running away from Lynn and Nathan, it wouldn't take to long to find me, but it would be a hassle since they wanted to avoid Reborn.

'I'm coming, Takeshi.'

✿¬‿¬✿

Yeah, I just did that, two chapters in a day, you wont be seeing this for another while, who knows if I'll ever do it again. Well, I guess two days? 'Cause, it's 11:55 and I still need to proof read it... yeah. I hope to actually try finish this story, it's something I had in my mind since I was 14, I'm just a very bad procrastinator, and am very forgetful, plus all the other jazz that happened through it all.

I'm still thinking about who to pair her with, I already have Takeshi and Haru... no idea where that came from honestly, it just happened. I'm thinking either Tsuna or Mukuro, was also thinking of Hibari, but I wanted them to have more of a sibling relationship. I'm still open to suggestions, so if you have one I'd love to hear it. :D Pairings wont happen till at least the future arc or later though, which isn't very far, unless I take a year to upload... again. I actually hit my word goal this time, yaaay.
