Chapter 2- Checker Face and the Rainbow Pacifier
I tried to pick up both of rods but when I did the one on the left electrocuted me. I pulled my hand back and looked at it. My hand was red and hurt a lot. It was burning and smoke was coming out of it. I most likely had severe first, if not minor second, degree burns.
I did managed to pick up the rod on the right though. It same width and a metal pipe and the weight as a metal baseball bat. There were carvings of snowflakes and sakura blossoms.
"Hmmm…" Dr. R started (can't pronounce his name). "It seems that you're only compatible with one of them. That would mean you posses one of the two. Well anyway let's treat that hand of yours, shall we? Then I'll send you back to your…room."
He had me sit on the chair I was originally sitting on and treated my hand. I didn't know why he was treating me with such care. I don't know how but I could tell that he was a truly evil. So why? Why was he treating me like an antique vase that was worth 80 million yen*.
'Could it be? Is it because of papa's mafia family? That would explain the nickname but it seems that the Ernesto family hates the umm…Vongola (?) Family. If that's so then…why?' I thought as we walked out of the lab and back to the prison cells.
I didn't even realize that we had left till the sound of my cell door opening. I walked inside and sat down.
He closed the door and locked it. He then left but not without saying, "We'll continue tomorrow but for now get some rest Principessa Vongola" he said with a creepy smile sent chills down my spine, but I didn't show it. Why give him the satisfaction?
Once he was long gone Ken bombarded me with questions. "Are you okay Yukiko-san? Did he hurt you in any way? Did he do that to your hand? What did that bastard do to you? I swear I will bite him for hurting you Yukiko-san." I could clearly see the worry on his face. Chikusa, not as clear to see, was also worried. I could see it in his eyes.
"Ken, Chikusa, I'm fine. You don't have to worry so much" I said with a reassuring smile. "Demo Yukiko-san, your hand…" Chikusa started to say. "Is fine." I said cutting him off. "I tried to pick up a pair of rods, but was only able to pick one up while the other one burned me" I said, "But other than that I'm fine."
It wasn't a lie. I really was fine, I mean yeah my hand did hurt but other than that I was fine. "Demo, I do have to ask, why you two are calling me 'Yukiko-san' when I'm obviously younger then you" I said.
They looked at each other for a few seconds and Ken answered "It's because you faced you impending doom head on with such bravery. So we decided to show you the proper respect, Yukiko-san."
I could see the admiration for me in their eyes. "Kufufu, they're right Shirayuki" said the ocean-eyed boy, "Even though you a five-year-old child, a girl no less, you have strength and determination. Those two things will get you far in the life of a Mafioso." I looked at the boy. 'Even he's calling me weird names? Well, at least it's cute' I thought as I sweat drop.
"Ano…why 'Shirayuki'?" I asked. "Because it fits you perfectly, 'Principessa'" he said. I just sweat dropped. Then it hit me. "Oh yeah! May I ask for your name?" He stared at me for what felt like an eternity but was actually a few seconds. I guess he's debating on whether he trusts me or not.
"Mukuro. Rokudo Mukuro." he said with a slight smile. I smiled back. "Nice to meet you Mukuro-kun. My name is Sawada Yukiko. But since you came up with it, you can call me Shirayuki."
"Shirayuki?" Mukuro asked. "Hai?" "You mentioned that you tried to pick up a pair of rods is that right?" I nodded. "May I ask which of the two you picked up?" he asked with a serious face. "H-Hai. It had carvings of snowflakes and sakura blossoms" I said. "Demo why do you want to know."I asked.
"It's because those rods are very special and those scientists have been developing them for years. I heard that only someone with two very special flames could use them" he explained. "Anyways, thank you for answering my question."
"Oh, of course. No problem" I said. "Yukiko-san," I turned my attention to Chikusa, "you should get some sleep. You look really tired" he said. He was right, I was tired. Scratch that, I was exhausted.
"Kakipi's right Yukiko-san, you should rest" Ken said. "Your right. I think I'll do that. Oyasumi; Ken, Chikusa, Mukuro-kun" I said lying down on the patch of hay by the wall. "Oyasumi Yukiko-san" Ken and Chikusa said. "Oyasumi, kawaii no Shirayuki (1)" was the last thing I heard as I drifted off to sleep.
In Dream Land
I was standing in a dark room. The floor had a black-and-white checker pattern and a single spotlight shining above where I stood. "Hello?" I called out. "Is anyone there?" I know this nothing but a dream but I hate being alone in dark places.
All of a sudden, another spotlight appeared which revealed that someone else was in the room with me. A man that looked about the same height and age as Papa with an iron hat that had a checkered design partially drawn on and a metal eye-mask. He also has a scar on his left cheek and a checkered pattern on his right cheek. He also had a cane and a dark trench coat.
"Hello~ Yukiko-chan~" the masked man said. Okay when a masked man comes and calls you by your name, you run as fast as you can. Of course like an idiot, I didn't run. Instead I asked "W-Who a-are y-you? H-How d-do y-you k-know my n-name?" I was scared out of my wits.
"There is no need to be so scared my dear~. I won't hurt you, in fact I'm here to help you" he said. 'Help me? With WHAT?' I thought. "H-Help me?"I stuttered. "Hai. My name is Checker face (D: Ohhhh… the Irony. Yuki: I completely agree) and to answer your second question, let's just say that I've been watching you for quite some time now" he said. (D: Oh shit! Run Yuki, run! Not only is he a pedo but also a stalker! Checker Face: I am nether a pedo nor am I a stalker. Yuki: *sweat drop* I'm not going to even comment.)
Now I was really scared (Yuki: and not because of what you said D-nee-san! D: Demo~! Yuki:*glare* D: H-Hai.*cowers in corner*). "W-What d-do y-you mean?" I asked. "I've been watching your power and I have to say, it is extremely impressive for a young girl like you to posses such power" he said.
"My power?" I asked. Now I was seriously confused. You would be too if someone came up to you and said, "You have a special power that you didn't know about till now."
"Hai. You have Vongola blood running through your veins. Giving you the power to produce flames. Normally a person is able to produce and control only one flame and in rare cases, two at most, but you are able to produce and control all seven flames" he explained. "Oh I se- wait, seven?" I asked.
"Hai, that's correct. There are seven flames. The most common ones are storm, rain, thunder, sun, cloud, and mist. The seventh and rarer one is called sky" he said. "What is this, a weather report? So I can control all seven?" I commented/asked. Checker face chucked at my sarcastic comment.
"Hai. Now let's get down to business" he said, gesturing to the space between us. All of a sudden a table and two chairs appeared under yet another spotlight. I'm not even going to ask where those came from. I walked forward to the chair closest to me and sat down. Checker Face did the same. Can you believe we were standing this entire time?
"Ano…what 'business' did you have with me?" I asked. "Well to make it simple, I want you, Sawada Yukiko, to become the boss of a little group I created called the 'Arcobalenos' which is Italian for the 'Rainbow'. With flames as powerful as yours, I'm sure you'll do fine" he said.
"Wait. WHAT?"I exclaimed. "You want me; a five-year-old, kidnapped, and currently being experimented on, little girl, to be the boss of a mafia family that you created?"
"Hai" he said with a smirk, "I truly believe you can do it. I only pick the strongest hit men or hit women. And I picked you to be their boss because you are by far the strongest of them all" he said, "plus with this new power you can protect the ones you love. Your friends, you family, and the one you love. Don't you want that?
