D: Hi Minna~! Thx for reading Scythe Twins! Time for chapter eight! I'm sorry for being late but I've been really busy for the last few weeks.

Alice: Plus school started again so you have even less time to do anything

Yuki: Don't forget to mention the fact that you have almost 16 full chapters written on paper.

Alice: And that you suck at typing and are really slow at it

Yuki: ALICE! Don't talk to D-nee-san like that!

D: Don't worry Yu-chan. I don't talk it personally. Plus, it's true. I do suck at typing.

Yuki: But Alice should still be punished for her words!

D: And she will. I'll just take her pockey away.

Alice: There is no way in hell you are doing that *Runs to go protect her pockey*

Yuki: *sigh* The shout out goes to Yuki-shi-chan because you always review and D-nee-san loves you and everyone who reviews.

D: That's right! I only own Yu-chan and Aly-chan! Enjoy!

Alice: *off stage* D-ANEKI! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU , YOU'LL BE A DEAD AUTHOR!

D: And that is my cue to run! *Grabs plastic bag of pockey and runs*

Chapter 8 – The escape part 2

'What have they done to him?' I thought.

Mukuro-kun realized I was staring at his eye. His right hand covered the eye.

"Does my unnatural eye frighten you, Shirayuki?" he asked sadly.

My left hand moved up to his hand-covered eye, removed his hand, and placed mine on his cheek. My bangs covered my eyes.

"How dare they do this to you, too all of you and Alice." I said feeling my anger rising.

I felt his eyes widened.

"Why do you care so much about our well being?" Mukuro-kun asked.

I looked up at him. "I care because you guys are my friends. Even if you don't feel the same, that's how I feel about you." I said, "I'm the kind of person who, no matter the obstacle, will do everything in her power to help the people she cares about."

He looked into my eyes and nodded.

"Kufufu, I'm happy that you consider me your friend, Shirayuki. Now how do you propose we go about this escape mission?" he said.

I smiled. "Arigato Mukuro-kun. First we head to the data room and delete all of their experiment data so that is never a repeat of this" I said.

"Hai!" they said in unison.

We left the lab and ran through the halls when the alarms went off.

"Crap! They know we're gone" Alice said.

"There's nobody here so they must have one to the cell's and found out you two were gone" Ken said.

"How did you two get out anyway?" Chikusa asked.

I sweat-dropped.

"Alice kicked our cell door open," I told them.

Ken and Chikusa gave Alice a 'seriously?' look.

"What? Just because we're girls, doesn't mean we can't kick ass. Besides Yuki kicked Hell's Gate to smithereens and remember what she did back at the lab?" Alice said.

All three boys paled at the thought and memory.

'I'm not that scary, am I?' I thought.

Soon we found guards racing towards us. They stopped, took a defensive position and readied their guns.

"Aim but don't kill them. They are still needed" the leader said. He raised his hand as if he was telling them to stop. He then extended his hand out to us and yelled, "Fire!" They soon started shooting at us.

In a split second, I was in front of everyone and spun my scythe. The bullets hit my spinning scythe and were deflected.

"Yukiko-san!" Ken and Chikusa exclaimed.

"Alice dodge the incoming bullets and disarm them since you're the fastest at the moment," I said to my sister.

"You got it" she said, "Time to slice and dice!"

She ran to the guards and dodged every bullet that came her way as I continued to deflect them.

"Once Alice gets rid of their guns, Ken I want you to use your Kong channel and ram them. Chikusa and Mukuro-kun I want you two to have your weapons ready in case something goes wrong." I said to the others.

"Hai, Yukiko-san/Shirayuki" they said.

Alice managed to get in front of the guards and sliced their guns into pieces.

"NOW!" I yelled.

Ken rushed forward, followed by Chikusa and Mukuro-kun. Ken used his Kong channel and bulldozed through the guards. Alice followed Ken and I followed Mukuro-kun.

After losing the guards, we found ourselves in front to the Data room. Ken changed back and we walked into the room. Alice and the boys stood at the door and I went straight to one of the computers to look for our data.

"Kufufufu, looks like those scientists aren't so smart after all if they just left this place unguarded." Mukuro-kun said.

"Maybe we caused such a commotion that every single guard and scientist went looking for us" Alice suggested

"That certainly is possible," Chikusa added.

I was typing away at the computer in search for the deletion code. When I finally found it, I began the system deletion program. As the system was deleting its files, my file popped up and began its deletion. But I managed to read it before it deleted completely.

Experiment: 72

Human Name: Sawada, Yukiko

Gender: Female

Flames: Snow

Weapons: Snow Scythe, Snow Tenssen and throwing knives

Mafia Family: Vongola

Special attacks: Nightmare Blizzard, Snow Fire

Plans for after experimentation: Keep alive

"Keep alive' what does that mean?' I thought.

The file deleted it's self and Mukuro-kun's popped up after mine. I looked over it and when I got to the bottom of the page, my eyes widened.

Plans for after experimentation: Elimination

"Elimination!?' those psychopaths are planing on killing him?' I thought.

After Mukuro-kun's file deleted its self, Ken and Chikusa's files popped up. I read the bottom and it said the same thing as Mukuro-kun's. I felt my anger grow. Then Alice's file popped up and I read it.

Experiment: 72.5

Gender: Female

Flames: Hail

Weapons: Hail Scythe, Hail Tenssen, and throwing knives

Special Attacks: Nightmare Hail Storm, Hail Fire (1)

Plans for after experimentation: Elimination

SYSTEM DELETION COMPLETE

*Glass breaks*

Alice's POV

The band of misfits and I stood guard at the door as Yuki went to wipe the mainframe clean.

"Kufufufu, looks like those scientists aren't so smart after all if they just left this place unguarded." Pineapple Head said.

"Maybe we caused such a commotion that every single guard and scientist went looking for us" I suggested.

"That certainly is possible," Kakipi added.

The only sound in the room was Yuki typing away at the computer, other then that the whole room was silent.

After about ten minuets, I looked over at the computer and saw a file pop up.

'About damn time! How long was that stupid code anyway?' I thought.

After a minuet or two, her facial expression went from confusion to eyes wide with anger. As the computer screen changed from file to file, she got angrier and angrier.

When the last file appeared on the screen disappeared and the 'SYSTEM DELETION' window popped up, Yuki's shoulders were shaking, her dull brown bangs covered her eyes, she bit her lip and she smashed the computer with her fist.

My eyes widened in shock. "Yuki!" I yelled running over to her.

I grabbed her hand and checked it for cuts. I sighed in relief when I didn't see any. I looked at her.

"Why the hell did you do that? What the hell were you thinking? Why the hell are you so mad?" I asked her.

She wasn't mad. No, mad would make her look clam. She was beyond pissed, she was furious. You could literally see the dark destructive aura radiating off her.

"How dare they...," she muttered.

"Yuki?"

"How dare they conduct experiments on children, in the name of science, and then exterminate them when they are no longer needed as if they were nothing more then bugs. When I find them, I will leave no one alive."

"Yukiko-san did you read?" Kakipi asked.

"I read our files. All of them, but mine, said that they were going to kill you all when they were done with the experimentation process," she explained.

My eyes widened in shock. No wonder Yuki was so mad. In the past two months that I have known Yuki, I knew that she cared about all four of us and that it would also hurt her a lot if she seen any of us hurt. That's how much she cared for us.

"So you plan on killing every single scientist here in order to get revenge or is it something else?" Pineapple head asked.

"It's not just the elimination plans! It's also about seeing you, Ken, and Chikusa getting hurt. And for Alice for being created" she said.

I hung my head and looked at the floor sadly. Did that mean she didn't want me? Was she lying to me when she told me that she didn't hate me?

"What do you mean Yukiko-san?" Dog Breath asked.

"If it weren't for those people, then Alice wouldn't have had to suffer as much as she did. But then again… I do have to thank them for giving me a sister" she said.

My head shot up and was met with a warm smile from Yuki.

"Yuki…" I muttered. "Arigato…" I smiled back.

"No problem" she said. Then she turned back to the rest of the group and switched into leader mode. "Alright. Let's get out of here!" we nodded and ran out of the room.

As we ran through the halls, we killed every scientist we came across. It felt like hours had passed since we got out of our cell. It could have been longer but we didn't know.

Suddenly Yuki stopped. "Shirayuki is something wrong?" Pineapple head asked. She didn't answer him and turned her head left as though she was listening for something.

"Yukiko-san?" Kakipi asked.

"Is something wrong?" Dog Breath asked.

"Yuki? What is it?" I asked.

"Alice I want you to get the boys out of here" she said not looking at us.

"What?!" Dog Breath yelled.

"What are you saying Yukiko-san?" Kakipi asked

"I'm saying, I want you four to leave me behind and get out of here" she told them.

All three of them looked at here in shock. Pineapple head narrowed his eyes. "We're not leaving you in this hell hole, Shirayuki" he said.

She glanced at them and sighed. She looked over to me. *Alice get them out of here* she thought.

*What about you? You know they won't leave without you.* I thought back.

*I'll be fine. There are some loose ends that need tying up*

At first I was confused. I didn't understand what she meant by "loose ends". But then I saw the look in her eyes. My own soon widened in realization. The look she had promised death. It was the same look she always had when that psycho Dr. Romulo was around.

That's why she wanted to leave. She was going to fulfill her promise.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I opened my eyes and looked at her.

"Don't do anything too stupid and don't die" I told her.

She smiled. "Arigato, Alice" she turned around and waited.

"Let's go boys" I said walking away.

"Oi! Baka-usagi! We can't just leave Yukiko-san here!" Dog Breath exclaimed.

I turned and glared at him. "Ken, shut up!" he flinched from my glare and stayed silent. "I don't like it ether but we don't have a choice. It's what Yuki wants and as long as she comes back to us alive and in one piece I won't question her choice."

(A/N: When Alice calls someone by their name and not a nickname, that means shit just got real)

The boys hesitated. They glanced at each other then Yuki before nodding.

"Be careful Yuki!" I yelled over my shoulder as the four of us started running again. "We'll see you outside!"

After a while, we saw a pair of dark brown doors and burst through them. When we got through, the first thing we saw was a blinding light. I cringed and blinked a few times trying to adjust to the sudden flood of light and warmth.

Once our eyes adjusted, we started running again. When the mansion became the size of my thumb, we stopped to catch our breath.

"We… finally…got…out…of…that…horrid…place…" Dog Breath panted.

"I…hope…Yukiko-san is…okay" Kakipi said.

"Shirayuki is strong. I'm sure she'll be fine" Pineapple head said. "Isn't that right Baka-usagi?'

I nodded. We watched the mansion for any sign of Yuki. Suddenly the whole building went up bright red flames. We gasped in surprise and I tried to run back to the now burning only to be held back by Ken and Chikusa.

I struggled against their hold. "Let me go! Yuki's still in there! Yuki!" I yelled.

I fell to my knees with tears in my eyes as I stared at the burning building. I looked down at the ground, tears falling from my eyes.

"Alice! Ken! Chikusa! Mukuro-kun!" I heard Yuki yell.

I looked up to see, a very much alive, Yuki running and waving to us. I stood up from as Yuki stopped in front of me. She looked back at the burning building and grins sheepishly.

"Oops. I guess I over did it a bit" she said, laughing nervously. She looked back at me.

"Dumbass" I said hugging her.

"So what do you plan to do now that we're out?" Yuki asked the boys.

After my little episode, we decided to sit down and discussed our plans of new found freedom.

"We'll go back to Italy and plan from there" Pineapple head said.

"Yukiko-san, Alice-san, what about you two? What will you do now?" Kakipi asked.

To be honest, I really didn't know what I was going to do now. I wasn't person, I was Yuki's clone. I myself didn't have a family before being created and meeting Yuki. The only thing I could do was leave and wonder.

"Well, I was thinking about going back home with Alice" she said. I looked at her with wide eyes. "If that's okay with you" she added with a warm smile on her face.

"Arigato Yuki" I said smiling.

She smiled back.

"Kufufu~, I guess this is goodbye then, Shirayuki" Pineapple head said.

"Yeah" she said sadly.

"Yukiko-san, this isn't goodbye forever. I 'm sure that we will meet once again. So please don't be sad." Kakipi said.

"Hai, you're right. We will see each other again some day. Arigato Chikusa" she said wiping her tears.

"Well, we better get going" Pineapple head said getting up from the ground, "But before we do I have a way for us to keep in contact with each other."

"Honto? How?" Yuki asked as we getting up as well.

"Kufufu, with my weapon I would be able to contact you through your mind and dreams. That is, if you let me" he said.

*Yuki, I know what you're thinking…* I warned her. Ah, the beauty of twin telepathy.

*Oh, come on Alice. I want to do this. You don't have to do it if you don't want too.* she replied.

*'sigh' Fine…* I thought back, giving up.

*Yay! Arigato Alice!* she thought happily.

"Mukuro-kun, I'll do it!" she said.

"Kufufufu, I had hoped you would say that. From my understanding, all I have to do is scratch you with my trident" he explained.

She held out her arm and he scratched her with the weapon. The scratch was barley noticeable, it looked like a small paper cut the didn't bleed.

"Now we can stay in contact. All you have to do is call to me and I will respond" he added.

"Hai, Mukuro-kun!"

"Well, we'll go now. I hope to see you soon and I wish you luck Shirayuki, Baka-usagi" he said as the all started to walk away.

"Ja ne minna! And good luck!" Yuki called out.

"Ja ne! Pineapple Head! Dog Breath! Kakipi!" I called out. I'm still ticked off at that nickname.

"Ja ne Yukiko-san, Baka-usagi/Alice-san!" Dog Breath and Kakipi called out, waving to us.
