Chapter 8: Imitation

Instead of cram classes today, Sir Pheles had the group gathered in a large training room.

"Now, Exwires and pages, I believe you all have some questions." His gaze turned directly to Rebecca, "Some a little more on topic." Rebecca flinched then hardened her gaze.

"What do ya mean, ya damn clown?"

Sir Pheles smirked, "This is mainly your training, you still cannot control Oblivion can you?"

The girl looked away, "N-no, It's either too powerful or too weak. When I try to cross the two it doesn't even appear."

"Hn, well that will be fixed later on. Right now I must show you a technique you should've learned before hand. Though Kenneth seemed to see the need to rush you into Oblivion. The technique is called 'Imitation' fairly to master, and simple to conduct. Observe." A large puff of smoke and a pop, then there was another Rebecca.

"It's simple really." The duplicate said in Rebecca's voice, "Focus on what you want to turn into as hard as you can." Mephisto smiled as Rebecca then began to frown, "Do you slouch much? Because my back is killing me!" he whined.

Rebecca blushed an angry red, "NO! It's the same reason nobody at school ever took me seriously!"

There was another puff and the normal Mephisto stood there, "Ah yes, this is one of the parts of 'the mother's curse' am I correct?"

She nodded furiously. "Yes, now stop talking about it!"

"The mother's curse?" Shima asked.

Rebecca glared at the boy, "Drop. It."

Shima gulped and shut up.

Mephisto chuckled, "I'll give you some motivation, once you finish this skill I'll give you something. Try to imitate someone here, or out if you so wish, that just makes it simple."

"Did we all have to come here Sir Pheles?" Kamiki asked angrily.

"Yes, or would you rather clean the Leaper cages?"

"N-no sir..."

"Good now Rebecca, take it away."

She nodded and closed her eyes. A pop sounded. Her hair lengthened and turned white on the top. It went to a wind blown style and her eyes turned to a red with black surrounding. Her clothes were replaced by a dark blue yukata. Though she was still her normal height and she was still a girl.

"So?" her voice was different, though it wasn't weird. Mephisto stared at her then burst out into laughter, "OI, what's so funny? Sure I didn't choose one of them, but come on, you're acting childish!"

"The only other person I met with this problem was my mother." He replied as he calmed down.

"Your mother was a Wanderer?" Rebecca asked as she changed back. "Who was she?"

Mephisto sighed, "She was the first Vongola guardian of snow, I am the second."

Rebecca's jaw dropped, "R-really? Does that mean I can be the third once my training is finished?"

"Um, Rebeka-san I'm sure you wouldn't want to." Tsuna said nervously.

"Are you kidding? I could only dream of something this exciting happening to me! I only ever read about the Vongola from a fiction manga in my... My world." Her mood went south then she turned to Mephisto, "Mephisto, am I dead?"

His eyes widened then narrowed, "No, we've already had that confirmed during your visit with Kenneth. What made you think that?"

"I remembered what happened. How do you get shot in the eye and the throat, and survive?" she challenged.

"That is currently of no importance, I will say you've gotten the point of this exorcise mainly and I shall pass this on to you." Mephisto pulled a ring off of his finger as he spoke and handed it to Rebecca. "You are now the third Vongola guardian of snow. You will be learning more about things such as this, once you finally finish training, you'll be going on missions. I will tell you this now, the Wandering Society does not tolerate failure, my mother was cursed because of one of her failures. She was cursed to reincarnate after every death she has. Each time she was the mother that was kept in the dark to her own child's activity. In fact she was just recently reborn back into this world, as Sawada Nana."

They all heard a thud and Tsuna was on the floor passed out foaming at the mouth. "Who was she originally?" Rebecca asked.

Mephisto smirked, "...Lori Shinemass..."

Rebecca followed after Tsuna.
