Chapter 9 – Return and Iemitsu

We stood in our places until the others were long gone. I sighed 'I'm gonna miss them.' I thought.

"Oi, Yuki!" Alice called out, bringing me back to reality.

"Nani?" I asked turning back to her,

"What do we do now? We don't know the way back" she said.

"Well we could-" I was cut off by my pacifier's glow.

"Oi what's going on!?" Alice exclaimed. That's right, she doesn't know about this part. I told her everything I knew about Checker Face and the Arcobalenos. Guess I forgot to mention the glowing pacifier bit.

Whoops.

"It's okay Alice. This just means that one of the Arcobaleno is nearby. And judging by the color I would have to say it's Reborn." I said looking at my, currently, yellow pacifier.

"Eh? Reborn? Oh I remember now. He's that baby that almost shot you in your dream world." she said.

"Reborn, you can come out now!" I called out.

Something jumped out of the trees and landed in front of me. "Yukiko-sama, I'm glad you're alright. I was just about to get you out." Reborn said.

"Wait, you weren't kidding when you said that this baby was going to get us out? Seriously?" Alice asked.

"I'm not a baby. I'm the world's greatest hit man, Reborn" he told her.

"Arigato Reborn. I'm so happy that you care so much about my safety. I'm really happy." I told the arcobaleno, smiling.

"Anything for you Yukiko-sama" he said. Then he turned to Alice. "And who might you be?"

"Who me? I'm Sawada Alice. Nice to finally meet you Reborn!" she grinned.

Reborn raised an eyebrow. "Sawada? As far as I know, Iemitsu only has one daughter and that's Yukiko-sama here."

"Well that use to be true but is no longer the case..." I said looking down slightly.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

Alice and I looked at each other and explained everything.


When we finished our story, Reborn was silent. His fedora covered his face, but I could tell he was furious. "Reborn are you okay?" I asked.

He looked up. "I'm fine. I'll take you both back home and explain everything to the ninth when I get back to Italy."

"Arigato Reborn" we said.

"What will you tell him?" Alice asked.

"Everything that you told me" he said. "Now let's get you two back home."

When the Arcobaleno started to walk away, I held out my hand and when Alice took it, we ran to catch up to Reborn.


After a couple of hours we finally arrived in Namimori. We then made our way to the police station to get some help. I don't why or when, but at some point I had ended up carrying Reborn. Alice and I were exhausted and were about to pass out, but we never did.

After some time, we had finally made it to the police station.

"Well this is it" Alice said.

"We're almost home" I said. Reborn jumped down from my arms.

"I'll take my leave now. There's a plane back to Italy in a couple of hours. I'll explain everything to the Vongola Nono" he said.

We tilted our heads in confusion. "Nono?"

"That's right you two don't know Italian. Nono means Kuuydime or ninth in Japanese." Reborn explained.

"Then what does Signorina Vongola, and Principessa mean?" I asked.

"Signorina Vongola means Vongola-sama or Miss Vongola and Principessa means Hime or princess. Why?"

"Back at the lab they kept calling me that" It wasn't a complete lie.

He didn't look completly convinced but didn't press on. "I'll go now. I wish you both luck." And with that he left. I squeezed Alice's hand and we went inside.


We walked through the halls, gaining looks from everyone in the hallway, and eventually finding the main room. We were about to enter the room when we heard a voice that I haven't heard in months.

"Please tell me you found something. Anything at all." the voice pleaded.

It was Papa…

"I'm sorry sir, but we have found nothing. Your daughter is no where to be found. Whoever took her covered their tracks well. I'm sorry." Someone else said, most likely a police officer.

"I understand…Thank you for at least trying…" he said.

"Papa…" I mumbled.

Alice walked into the room pulling me along with her. "Well you didn't try hard enough" she said.

Both the officer and Papa turned to look at us. Papa was a tall man with short blonde hair and , currently wide, dark brown eyes. He was wearing a pair of orange construction worker pants, a matching jacket tied around his waist, and a white under shirt.

"Yu-chan…Is that really you?" Papa asked, surprised and shocked.

"Hai…Tadima…Papa…" I said weakly before Alice and I started to fall towards the cold tile floor. The last thing I heard was papa calling my name before I fully blacked out.


Iemitsu's POV

I head over to the police station like I have for the last three months since Yukiko disappered. The last three months have been hell for us.

Tsunayoshi hasn't been his cheerful self, Nana stopped smiling, and Yukiko's friend Kyoya has been a lot more annoyed and angry at anything and everything.

Once I got to the police station, I went straight to the officer that was in charge of Yu-chan's case.

"Konichiwa Sawada-san" he said.

"Please tell me you found something. Anything at all." I pleaded.

He shook his head. "I'm sorry sir, but we have found nothing. Your daughter is no where to be found. Whoever took her covered their tracks well. I'm sorry."

I sighed. "I understand…Thank you for at least trying…"

"Well you didn't try hard enough" a small voice said from behind me.

I turned around and saw two little girls standing there. One of the girls looked like Yu-chan but with dark brown hair and eyes while the other girl WAS Yu-chan! Both girls were wearing pale blue hospital gowns and were barefoot.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing...

"Yu-chan... Is that you?" I asked.

"Hai…Tadima…Papa…" She said weakly before she and the other girl started to fall towards the cold tile floor. I calling her name and rushed to their sides.

I held both girls in my arms.

"Welcome home, Yu-chan. Welcome home." I whispered to her unconscious form.

"Sawada-san, there is an ambulance outside to take the girls to the hospital." One of the officers told me.

"Okay" I said, picking both up and headed outside.

When I got outside, I placed the two on the stretcher provided by the ambulance. I climbed into the vehicle just as it took off to the hospital.

During the trip, I did the only thing someone in my situation could do.

I prayed.

Prayed that they were okay.

But I couldn't help but wonder why this darker haired girl looked so much like Yu-chan.

Just who is she?

My thoughts were interrupted by the ambulance doors opening. A couple of doctors and the paramedics pulled the stretcher out just before I got out the ambulance.

"Iemitsu!" A familiar voice called. I turned around and saw my old friend Shiro coming my way.

He was an old mafia buddy of mine that works as a Vongola doctor. He was the same age and hight as me, with short black hair and eyes.

"What happened? I'm about to take my lunch break when the ambulance comes in with you in it." He said.

"I'll explain later but I need you to be my daughter's doctor." I said to my old friend. He then noticed the girls.

"Fine, I'll take good care of them. Go to the reception area and fill out the forms. I'll do everything I can." He instructed.

I thanked him and went inside.


Once I finished the paperwork, I called Nana from the hospital pay phones.

"Moshi-Moshi? Sawada residence." She said in the sad tone that has been breaking my heart since Yu-chan disappeared.

"Nana, it's me."

"Iemitsu? Where are you?" She asked.

"I'm at the hospital." I told her.

"You're WHERE?!" She yelled. "Oh kami-sama! Are you alright?"

"Nana, calm down. I'm at the hospital not in it."

I heard her sigh in relief. "I see, but why are you down there?"

I sighed and told her what happened at the station.


"...Then they both collapsed and were rushed to the hospital." I said.

She was silent for sometime. I was about to called out to her when she finally responded. "Were they hurt?"

"I don't know but as soon as I know their condition, I'll call you. Okay?"

She sighed. "Alright. I'll see you later. Bye."

"Bye." I said before hanging up.

"Iemitsu." Someone called.

I turned to see Shiro standing behind me with a clipboard.

"Shiro, please tell me they're okay!" I pleaded.

"Daijobu. They're both fine. Exhausted and suffering from malnutrition, but fine." He said.

I sighed in relief. "Yokata. Can I see them?"

"Of course, but there is something I need to tell you about the blood work I did on them." (A/N: I know that blood work results don't happen that fast but he's mafia. Need I say more?)

"What did you find?" I asked as we walked.

"You told me that you had one daughter and one son, but the results tell a different story. They say you have two daughters, twins, and one son."

"What? Are you serious?"

"Unfortunately. We might get the missing pieces of the puzzle when one of them wake up."

We arrived at their hospital room and the two of us walked in. It was then we heard a slight groan. I rushed to the girls sides. The sound was coming from the look-alike.

(A/N: just to make things clear, Yukiko's bed is on the right side of the room near the window and Alice's is on left side near the door.)

She turned her head slightly to the right and slowly opened her eyes. She blinked a couple of times opening them more.

"Thank goodness. You finally woke up." I said to her.

She snapped her head towards me and her eyes widened.


Alice: That's it? That's how it ends? We and the readers have been waiting for months for that?

Yuki: The ending wasn't as good as I had hoped.

D: Hey cut me some slack. I wrote that a year ago.

Alice: Holy shit!

Yuki: Kya!

D: What?

Reborn: They're just surprised to see that you're wake.

Yuki: Surprised is an understatement!

D: *Grins* Sorry you two.

Alice: *sigh* Whatever, please review!

Yuki: and vote on D-nee-san's poll!

Alice: And leave some pokey for me!

D&Reborn: Ciao Ciao!

Q: Can anyone tell me what episode little Tsuna met Nono?
