Hi Minna~! Thx for reading Scythe Twins! Here's chapter three! Disclaimer: I don't own KHR. I only own Yukiko and Alice. Note: It only takes about a day or so to write each Chapter on paper and two-three days to type each chapter. Here's a recap of the last chapter: "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?"
Chapter 3- My decision and training begins
Now that got me thinking.
I could protect my new friends, Mama, Papa (even thought he really won't need it), Onii-chan (He's the one I'm really worried about),and even….Kyoya. I felt my face heat up just at the thought of him. I remember the day we met.
It was two years ago. He had saved me form a group of third graders who were picking on me because I was playing in "their" sandbox. He was the reason I got into fighting and weapons in the first place.
After he saved me, I went up to him in order to thank him. That's when he called me a "weak herbivore that should have run like all other herbivores". I got so angry at him that I ran up to him, since he had walked away, and yelled in his face "I'm not a weak herbivore! I'm an omnivore and I'll prove it to you!" I told Mama and Papa about the incident and convinced them to let me take self-defense classes.
GAHH! Now is not the time to reminiscing! I thought about Checker Face's offer. 'With this power I can protect everyone' I thought. I made my decision. I looked up at Checker Face.
"Tell me what I have to do" I said. Checker Face smiled, "Wonderful~! I'm so glad you accepted my offer. Now then, all you need to do is cup your hands and place them on the table" he said, and I did as he had instructed and placed my hands on the table.
"Splendid~" he said. He then raised his hand into a position that mocked that for a waiter holding a tray of food. Suddenly a light appeared in his hand. Once the light faded, I saw something round in his hand. He then held the object in the air.
It was, what looked like, a rainbow colored pacifier tied to a magenta ribbon. "This is the Rainbow pacifier. With this you will gain the power that I had promised" Checker Face said.
He then placed the pacifier into my hands and a flash appeared into my hands this time. Next thing I know, eight (that's right, eight, not seven but eight and a half of one) flames began to burn in my hands. From what I could see the source was me but the chandelier was the pacifier in my hands.
"Hmm….very interesting" Checker Face said calmly. I, on the other hand, started freaking out. I mean you would too if you suddenly had flames of different colors appear out of your hands. But for some strange reason the flames didn't hurt. In fact, the yellow flame, it would seem, started healing my burned hand. "W-what's going on?" I asked. "Don't worry. The pacifier is just reacting to your flames. But it would seem that you control eight flames" he said. "What's the eighth one called?" I asked.
"It's called the Snow flame. Each flame has a different color. Sky is orange, Storm is red, Rain is blue, Sun is yellow, Lighting is green, Cloud is purple, Mist is indigo, Hail is dark blue, and last but not least Snow is white" Checker Face explained. Now I was confused. "Wait, hail? But not too long ago you told me there were seven flames, now there are nine?" I asked.
"Yes, usually there are seven flames but in very rare cases, there are nine. The Snow, Hail, and Sky (A/N: Listed from rarest to common) flames are the rarest of all the flames. You, my dear, posses both the Snow and Sky flames along with some traces of the Hail flame and the other six flames. But it would seem the Hail flame does not belong to you but to someone else who is similar to you" he clarified.
'Someone similar? Does he mean Onii-chan?' I thought. "Oh I see. So now what do I did with it?" I asked. "Now you place it around your neck" he instructed. I did as I was told and no sooner did I star to flicker and fade.
"Ah~ it seems that your waking up. I do hope to see you again soon my dear~" he said. "Ah! Matte!" I said "I still have something to ask you." "Well do hurry" he said. "The other Arcobaleno, when and how will I meet them?" I asked as I started to fade. "You will meet them soon I hope and how, all you have to do is focus your flames on the pacifier and call their flames you will be able to meet them in the dream world of your creation." That was the last thing I heard before I faded into darkness.
Back in reality
My eyes shot open. I sat up and looked around. I then noticed a light weight on hanging on my neck. I looked down and my eyes widened. It was the pacifier Checker Face had given me. "So it wasn't a dream. It really happened. I really became the boss of the Arcobalenos. I wonder what the others are like." I said to myself.
I decided to hide the pacifier in my shirt just in case those psycho power hungry scientists examine me and see it. Just to be on the safe side, I lit a mist flame on my finger and touched the pacifier lump. It disappeared along with the ribbon and my shirt became flat once again.
'There, that should do it' I thought. I then noticed how quiet it was. I'm sure Ken would have started talking once he saw me awake. I looked across to their cells and saw that they empty. 'Oh no! Were they taken while I was talking to Checker Face?' I thought, 'Please! Please be okay!' I silently prayed.
That's when I heard Hell's Gate open, but only heard one set of feet coming down the hall. After about a minute, the sound stopped and I saw a pair of feet in front of my cell door. I looked up to see Dr. Romulo standing there. "Ah~ Senorita Vongola, did you have a nice nap?" he asked with a fake smile, "Now it's time to begin your training. Please follow me" he said opening my cell door. I walked out and followed him to what I assumed to be the training room.
Once we got there I took notice of the other scientists in the room along with the small group of black suited men. "The men in black (D: LOL! 'Men in Black', that's funny. Yuki: Really? A 'Men in Black' reference? D: What~! There was no other way to describe them. Yuki: *sigh* I give up) will be your opponents once you get the basics of you weapon down. Now let's begin with how to use the rod (I found out during the explanation that it was really a scythe)" Dr. R said.
The explanation on how to use it took about fifteen minute. He then demonstrated, with a metal pipe, ways to use it while fighting. That took another fifteen minutes. "Now that that's done, why don't you try it out on your opponents" he said. I nodded and walked to the center of the room where one of the men was waiting for me.
They all looked alike, which I found really wearied and creepy. We both got into fighting position. I held the scythe in both of my hands across my chest. I didn't want to kill him so I kept the scythe in rod mode. Actually in all honesty, I couldn't kill him.
The man lunged at me with his knife-like swords. My reflexes kicked in. I first hit him in the stomach with one end of the rod. When he stumbled, I swept kicked him and knocked him off his feet and on to his back. I then did a couple of back flips to put some distance between us (thank you karate class. And Kyoya *blush*). I glanced at Dr.R to see surprise and amazement on his face.
The older man got up and brushed himself off, and then he tried to attack me again. I could see the embarrassment on his face, screaming 'I can't believe this kid just knocked me down!' We continued to fight for about another five minutes before I knocked him off again and held him down with my rod.
"Amazing! Truly amazing!" Dr. R said, clapping as he made his way towards us. I turned to look at him. "Now that your fight is over let's head to the lab and take a look at your heath, shall we?" I walked over to the briefcase that my rod was held in and placed it back. I then hated him but none the less I followed Dr. R to the lab.
Once we got there he had me sit on the chair and took some blood and DNA samples. He then places them into the small casket looking thing. The casket scans the samples and places the data on to the computer.
"Hmm….it would seem that you are doing just fine. Well that's good news then. Now let's get you back to your room so you can rest" he said as he led me back to my cell. After about five minutes of walking we arrived back at my cell. I noticed that Mukuro-kun and the others still weren't here.
I walked into my cell and Dr. R locked the door and left. I waited until I heard Hell's Gate open and close. I relaxed once it did. I took out the pacifier and tried to sleep. As I drifted off I called the flames of the Arcobaleno and fell asleep. I hope this works.
Next chapter Yuki gets to met Reborn and the others. Also more training. PLEASE REVIEW! Oh and the Sky Arcobaleno is going to be Aria not Luce.
