Strange Kids

Gamma didn't know what to think. He was a teenager again. Boss looked disturbingly like the Princess with her youth, but her ever present squirrel helped him distinguish between Luche and the girl until recently he thought was just a dream. The Vongola brats proved the dreams to be real.

He had thought teenage Vongola Decimo was weird. Seeing the kid Decimo was just crazy. The fierce and eerily calm fighter he remembered looked so young with his school uniform and backpack. The kid would start training in, what? A year or two.

So young, like Uni. Except he had memories of the future and the determination he had seen with both of the young mafia bosses.

But…what if Uni had the memories too? Would she understand? What if what ever Byakuran did carried over?

Gamma's fist clenched and punching the nearest wall looked tempting. Byakuran would die and Luche and Uni would be fine. He refused to allow any other possibility. He could watch over them and—

Gamma blinked. He could finally figure out which bastard knocked up Boss.

Gamma cracked his knuckles with a scary face. Oh, the bastard would pay. Once Luche started showing of course. He refused to loose Uni because he was over eager but Gamma would be sure to make up for any lost time torturing the bastard.


I think I am starting to like the name "Luche." It makes me think of the Spanish "peluche" meaning soft, plush and often used with the word toy for stuffed animal. Poor Gamma, as I don't know who knocked her up, neither will he. Who knows, the guy might be dead—she was pregnant before becoming an Arcobaleno. Does that mean Uni was in stasis or something?
