D: Hi Minna~! Thx for reading Scythe Twins! Here's chapter Four! And since I've been MIA for the last couple of months, because of school and exams, I thought that I would post three chapters to make up for it! Don't you love me?

Yuki: D-nee-san you're late! *angry aura*

D: Hiiiieeeeee! Gomen, Yu-Chan!~ *runs for cover*

Yuki: *sigh* Just as long as you get it done. *dark aura disappears*

D: Hai! Now Yu-Chan, do the disclaimer!

Yuki: *sigh* D-nee-san doesn't own KHR. She only owns me and Alice.

D: It only takes about a day or so to write each Chapter on paper and two-three days to type each chapter. So if I'm late with a chapter or I don't upload for some time, it's because I'm busy or I'm having a typing problem.

Yuki: Then get some typing lessons! *Kicks across the room*

D: Hiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeee! *Crashes into the wall* (lesson for the day: Don't piss Yuki off)

Chapter 4- The Arcobaleno

I really hope this works.

Dream World

I soon felt a breeze on my face and the fragrance of flowers filled my senses. I opened my eyes and took in the sight of my dream world. My eyes widened at my surroundings and looked around. I was standing by a fairly large tree, staring at a small meadow-like clearing.

My pacifier started glowing and eight flames appeared in the form of a circle in the clearing. I hid behind the tree and peeked into the clearing. When the flames faded, there were seven babies and a young woman in her mid-twenties.

The babies were all in different outfits instead of dippers. Plus they were all standing and talking! This keeps getting weirder and weirder.

"Well it's nice to see you all again" the woman said.

"Yes it is but where are we and why are we here" said the baby with the dark blue hair and red goggles.

"That's what I would like to know. I was about to fall asleep when I woke up here, kora" said the blonde baby with the camouflage headband and #1 badge.

"As was I" the lady said.

"Me too" said the one in the purple jumpsuit and bike helmet.

"Muu, so was I" said the hooded baby.

"Me as well" said the baby in the lab coat with green hair.

"I was resting by a tree, drinking tea. If I'm here, then I must have fallen asleep as well" said the baby in red who looked a lot like Kyoya. If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was him.

"Like Colonnello, I too was about to fall asleep before coming here" said the baby in the black suit and fedora with an orange band around it (A/N: Yay! Everyone's here!).

"I wonder where we are?" the Kyoya-lookalike asked.

"Why don't we ask our visitor" the fedora one said. In a split second he turned around and pointed a green gun in my direction (granted I'm still hiding behind the tree).

(A/N: Now I'm sure you're all thinking 'she's behind the tree so they can't see her, right?' Well this is Reborn we're talking about. He sees everything.)

"Oi, Reborn what are you talking about?" asked the goggled one. But he just ignored her. "Come out of hiding and show yourself or I will shoot you" Reborn said threateningly.

Now I wasn't about to disobey a person, baby or not, with a gun. I poked out my head far enough so that they could at least see my face.

All of their eyes widened. "Oi Reborn! It's just a child! Put your gun down, kora" said the blonde one.

"Even a child can be a cold blooded killer when trained to. I'm not going to take any chances" Reborn said about to pull the trigger.

"M-Matte!"I yelled. He stopped. "Nani?" he asked. "I'm not here to hurt you. I-I just wanted to meet you, that's all. I didn't mean any harm by it. I-I'm sorry." I said about to start crying. Which I did.

Reborn's POV

"Why don't we ask our visitor" I said as I turned around and pointed my green gun at a tree behind us.

"Oi, Reborn what are you talking about?" Lal Mirch asked. But I just ignored her.

"Come out of hiding and show yourself or I will shoot you" I said threateningly.

I saw a head of long caramel hair slowly poke out from behind the tree. The head of hair was accompanied by a pair of light chocolate brown eyes. As far as I could tell our visitor was a small child no older than five.

My eyes widened but I didn't lower my gun. "Oi Reborn! It's just a child! Put your gun down, kora" Colonnello yelled.

"Even a child can be a cold blooded killer when trained to. I'm not going to take any chances" I said about to pull the trigger.

The child began to panic. "M-Matte!" the child yelled.

I stopped. 'So this child is a girl.'

"Nani?" I asked.

"I'm not here to hurt you. I-I just wanted to meet you, that's all. I didn't mean any harm by it. I-I'm sorry." She said. She looked and sounded like she was about to cry.

Which she did. Crap. (A/N: I'm sorry is Reborn is a bit OOC)

Double crap. I made her cry.

I noticed Aria walking towards the girl and lowered my gun.

Yukiko's POV

I can't believe I'm crying. The lady walked towards me with a warm smile on her face. That smile reminded me of the smile Mama always had.

Mama… I missed her.

The lady knelt down to my level and I got a good look at her face through my tear filled eyes. She had shoulder length greenish-blue hair, clear blue eyes, and a strange birthmark under her left eye.

She took her sleeve and wiped my tears dry. She then said in a calming voice, "Don't worry, we won't hurt you. We just want to ask you some questions. Is that alright?"

I nodded.

"Good. Now let's go over to my friends over there and talk. Okay?"

"H-Hai." I said. She smiled, took my hand and led me back to the group of babies.

When we got there we all sat in a circle. I sat closely to the lady because I was still really scared. Plus Reborn was sitting next to me.

"Now why don't we start with introductions, hm?" the lady said. "My name is Aria. It's nice to meet you."

"You too" I said.

"My name is Collonelo, kora. Nice to meet you, kora." the blonde baby said.

"I'm Lal Mirch. Hi." the goggle wearing baby said.

"My name is Viper and I expect a large payment in exchange for my identity." the hooded baby said. I sweat dropped at the payment comment. I think he was serious.

"My name is Verde. Nice to meet you." said the mini-scientist.

"I'm Skull. Nice to meet you." said the Helmet wearing baby.

"I am Fon. It is a pleaser to meet you, little one." said the mini Kyoya look alike. Now I was positive that Fon wasn't Kyoya. Kyoya is never this nice.

"I guess it's my turn. I'm Reborn." Reborn said. (A/N: In case anyone is confused the order of the circle is this, Aria, Collonelo, Lal Mirch, Viper/Mammon, Verde, Skull, Fon, Reborn, then Yukiko) "Now tell us who you are" he demanded.

"Hai. My name is Yukiko, Sawada Yukiko." I said.

Collonelo, Lal Mirch, and Reborn's eyes widened. "Sawada? Do you mean to tell us that Sawada Iemitsu is your father?" Reborn asked.

I was shocked. How did they know Papa? "You know Papa?" I asked hoping their answer was yes.

"Ah. Collonelo and I both work with him." Lal Mirch said.

"So… You all work for the mafia too then?" I asked the group sadly.

"So you know your father's true job, kora?" Collonelo asked in shock.

"Hai. Unlike Mama and Onii-chan, I figured it out one night when he was on the phone with his Boss. I understood enough to put the pieces together. That was a few months ago." I explained.

"Hmm… You're smarter then you look" Verde said.

'Was that a compliment or did he just insult my intelligence?' I thought.

"Iemitsu has been looking for you everywhere." Reborn said.

"I thought as much. I didn't mean to disappear like that but I didn't have much of a choice since I was kidnapped." I said.

"Wait, kidnapped? What do you mean?" Aria asked.

I looked up at her. "I was kidnapped while at the park. I don't remember what but when I woke up I found myself in this place." I said as a picture of the cell room appeared in the middle of our circle.

"H-How is this happening?" Skull asked freaking out.

"I see, so this place exists in the world of dreams. That would explain a lot." Viper deducted.

"Dream world?" Fon asked.

"What Viper means is that this place is made of dreams which would explain how we got here in the first place." Verde explained.

"So this is nothing but a dream, kora?" Collonelo asked.

"Yes and no" Viper said. "This is like a dream but it's actually another world separate from reality and the source happens to be this girl."

"So we're here because of this girl?" Lal Mirch asked.

"Think about what she said when Reborn was about to shoot her. 'I just wanted to meet you.' That would mean that was the one who brought us all here." Fon said. "Isn't that right, Miss Yukiko?"

"Hai, that's right. I was told that I would be able to meet you all if I called to you before I fell asleep." I explained.

"Who told you this?" Aria asked.

"It was the man in the Iron Hat that told me this." I said. Something told me that they didn't know his name and that calling by that title was my best bet.

All of them, except Collonelo and Aria, stiffened at the name.

"You met him? Did he offer you something?" Reborn asked, well more like yelled.

I was started by the sudden questions that I couldn't answer him.

"Reborn you're scaring her. Just calm down and let her explain." Aria said.

"Gomen" Reborn apologized.

"It's alright Reborn. And to answer your questions, yes I meet him, recently too, and he offered me this." I said taking out the pacifier that Checker Face gave me.

"He gave me this pacifier and told me that I could use its power to protect the people that matter the most to me." I explained.

"Why would he want you to become one of us when he already had the seven strongest?" Verde asked.

"He said it was because I was the strongest of all of you and that he wanted me to be come your Boss." I told them.

"WHAT!" they all, save for Aria, yelled.

"T-That's w-what he t-told me." I stuttered, startled by the yelling.

Aria was the only one who looked calm about this like she knew this already but she was still a bit shocked.

"Demo, I thought the Sky Arcobaleno was the Boss" Skull said.

Aria then spoke up, "What she said is true."

All attention was the focused on her. "What do you mean Aria?" Reborn asked "You sound like you know something about this."

"Before my Mother, Luce, passed she told me that the Sky was second in command and that the true Boss was the one who carried the Rainbow pacifier. The same pacifier that this child has." She explained while placing a hand on my shoulder.

"So this girl is the true Boss then. Well I guess we should redirect our loyalty to Miss Yukiko, I mean Yukiko-sama" Fon said and the others agreed.

"Since you're our true Boss, care to tell us where you're being held Yukiko-sama?" Reborn asked.

"To be honest, I really don't know." I told them "But one of the other captives that I made friends with told me that we were in the Ernesto Family's lab here in Japan."

"The Ernesto Family? Ah, I remember them. They were creating the Possession bullet when the Mafia had deemed it forbidden." Verde said.

"So they were the ones who had kidnapped you. Don't worry Yukiko-sama we'll get you out of there and take you back home, kora." Collonelo said.

I was happy that they wanted to help get me out of this horrid place but something inside me said that I couldn't leave. Not yet.

"Arigato Minna-san. Demo, I can't leave yet." I said to them.

"But why Yukiko-sama?" Skull asked.

"I really don't know why but something tells me that I have to stay because something really important is going to happen and I want to find out what that something is."I said with a determined look.

They all looked hesitant. "Are you sure Yukiko-sama? I've heard that they perform experiments on children." Reborn said.

"What has been said about them is true but for some strange reason they treat me differently than they do to the others." I said "They treat me like a princess of a fragile piece of art and the scientist in charge of me keeps calling me 'Sinorita' or 'Principessa Vongola'."

"I see" Reborn muttered loud enough for only me to hear.

"But please don't try to rescue me just yet. Give me Three months." I pleaded.

"Why that much time?" Lal Mirch asked.

"Because I have a feeling that it will happen during that time. So please trust me on this."

Reborn sighed. "Fine, we shall grant you that time. But after that, I will come get you whether or not this thing happens. Do you understand, Yukiko-sama?" He said leaving no room for argument or negotiation. Everyone else had agreed to Reborn's terms.

"Hai, Reborn. I understand."I said with a smile. That's when all of our pacifiers started to glow and everyone but Reborn started to flicker and fade.

"W-What's going on?" Skull exclaimed.

"Don't worry, that just means you're all starting to wake up. From now on, I should be able to contact you through your dreams until I can find a way to contact you during the day." I said to them. "I hope to see you all again soon." And with that they finally disappeared.

I turned to Reborn. "Yukiko-sama, I promise you that I will come and rescue you in three months. You can count on it." He said. I giggled. "I'll hold you to that Reborn." I said.

He nodded and then disappeared. I too started to wake up.

Back in cell

I opened my eyes and sat up.

'I like them' I thought with a smile. 'Maybe being their Boss won't be so bad.'

"Ohiyo Yukiko-san!" I heard. My eyes widened at the sound of the voice. I knew that voice. It belonged to Ken. I wiped my head to my right and saw my new friends back in their cells like they had never left.

"Did you sleep well?" Chikusa asked.

"Kufufufu~. What's wrong?" Mukuro-kun asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost."

I could feel the tears in my eyes as I stared at them. "Yukiko-san what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" Ken asked worryingly.

"Y-you're okay." I whispered. "Yukiko-san why are you crying?" he asked startled.

I was crying. Not because I was sad but because I was relieved that they were alright.

"Yokata, yokata" I said.

"Yukiko-san what's wrong?" Chikusa asked.

"I-I w-was s-so w-worried a-about y-you guys. I-I w-woke up and-and y-you guys wer-were g-gone." I said in between sobs.

"Yukiko-san…" Chikusa muttered. "Yukiko-san! Look we're fine, see? There's no need to cry." Ken said.

"We're here now. We're sorry for making you cry Yukiko-san." Chikusa apologized.

I eventually calmed down and smiled. I was so happy that they were alright but my happiness was short lived when hell's gate opened.

We all tensed when the footsteps got closer. The sound stopped and my cell door opened.

Great.

I followed the bad doctor back to the training room. Once there, he introduced me to my second weapon.

A pair of white and pink fans with snowflakes and sakura blossoms, two read lines going from one side of the lower part of the fan to the other side, creating a sharp oval of white in the center.

"These are the snow-sakura Tessen(1)." Dr. R said. "They may look like regular fans, but I assure you my dear these are no normal fans." I cringed a bit at the 'my dear part'.

He then began to demonstrate with another pair of fans. These fans were all white with a read strip going across the fan. (A/N: Look at Kagura's fans from Inuyasha) He then did something to the fans and they grew blades on the top of the fan.

"These fans, as you can see, have hidden blades in them. Now I will show you how to use them in a fight." He moved to the center of the room to where one of many training dummies stood. He them began to perform different fighting stances and movements. He then sliced the training dummy across the chest. He turned back to me.

"Now Senorita Vongola, you try. Just do exactly as I had shown to you." He said.

I got into the fighting stance once I stood in front of the dummy. I had the fan in my left hand pointing to the ground with my arm at a 180 degree angle while the fan in my right hand was covering my face with my arm at a 90 degree angle.

I ran to the training dummy, spun on my left foot, and sliced the dummy. I was on one knee with my back to the dummies and to Dr. R. (A/N: Like in Power Rangers) After a second or two, I heard the clanking of fallen wood. I stood up and looked at the training dummy. I somehow managed to slice it in half completely.

I looked back at the Doctor. "Incredible… It usually takes several days for ant of the others to get the training right." I heard the psycho doctor mutter.

I'm not surprised that I remembered everything after only seeing it once. For some reason, I've always been able to remember anything that I have seen, read or heard. If I was asked, I could probably recite 'The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet' the entire thing from beginning to end. I think it's called a photographic memory.

"I think that's enough training for now. Let's get you back to your room" Dr. R said. I placed my fans back into the case and followed the psycho doctor back to my cell.

(Time skip. Nothing interesting happens)

I enter my cell and sit on the ground. The "good" doctor locked the door, smiled at me and left. No one said anything until Hell's gate opened and shut closed. I released a breath that I didn't even know I was holding.

"Yukiko-san, are you alright?" Chikusa asked.

I nodded. "I'm just a little dizzy." I told him.

"Well, get some rest Shirayuki, because if you get sick then it's the end for you." Mukuro-kun said. I could tell he wasn't joking from the look in his eye.

I smiled weakly and nodded. "I think I'll do that." I said. "Oyasumi Ken, Chikusa, Mukuro-kun." I laid down and closed my eyes.

"Oyasumi, Yukiko-san/Shirayuki" they said in unison.

Checker Room

I woke up in the same room where I first met Checker Face and I was already seated at the table. Seated across from me was none other than Checker Face himself.

"Ah Yukiko-chan~! I'm sorry for calling you here so suddenly but I had something to tell you about your powers." the masked man said.

"Nani?"

"Well like the sky Arcobaleno, you too have the ability to see into the future. But as of right now, you can't access this ability entirely." he explained.

"What do you mean?"

"When you met Reborn, you told him that you had a feeling that something was going to happen, yes?"

I had no idea how he knew that but I just nodded.

"You somehow managed to access a small portion of that power but until your prediction comes true, you can't access it completely." he explained. "That's all I needed to tell you. Now I hope you pleasant dreams my dear*Insert Cringe*."

And with that, I was then met with darkness then happy memories of my family. Mama… Papa…

Onii-chan…

D: FINALLY FINISHED!

Yuki: It's about time.

D: Please Review!

(1) Tessen – For those who don't know what a Tessen is, it's the same kind of fan that Kagura from Inuyasha, Yumi from Code Lyoko, and Suki from Avatar the last Airbender have.
