~Chapter 7 ~
~Forgotten memories~
I moved slightly but winced at the pain immediately. My muscles were screaming in agony and I felt dizzy. I can hardly move and my whole body except my mind was sending me messages, telling me not to move. But I had to, because I'm not even sure where I am now.
After struggling for a very long time, I sat up and opened my eyes. I'm sitting on a bed, a very hard and dirty bed.
I scanned my surroundings but it was too dark and I couldn't see a thing. I sucked in a deep breath. The air was cold and smells of…dead animals? And soon I was able to identify where I am. It looks like a prison to me, with walls painted grey and with no windows at all.
I got used to the dark and saw something different. I wasn't able to see it at first but now that my eyes are used to the dark, I saw him.
"Hey, you over there." I started.
"Don't address Mukuro-san so simply, byon!" A voice retorted immediately.
"Kufufu, it's fine Ken." He smirked sadistically.
I shuddered slightly.
"Yes, how may I help you, little one?" He looked at me with his different-coloured eyes.
"Can you tell me where I'm?" I asked in a softer tone.
"Kufufu, a new one it seems." He mumbled. "This is the Estraneo Lab. The place where children are experimented on all kinds of things like drugs, weapons and all sorts of dreadful things."
My eyes widened when I hear the word 'Estraneo'.
Damn, I'm in big trouble now.
I looked closer and I saw Chikusa and Ken.
"What are your names?" I asked, even though I knew.
"Kufufu, why not tell us yours first?" He stated.
"Fine. Yukina. Now, your turn."
No point in hiding anyway. But I don't want to mess up anything if he found out I was Tsuna-nii's sister from our last name in the future. Now that I ended up in Estraneo, I wonder if I'll get out of here alive...What if I die and Mukuro tells Tsuna-nii...He might be really sad...
"Oya? No first name?" He raised an eyebrow.
"It's none of your business. Your name please." I said, annoyed.
"I'm Rokudo Mukuro." He said as he looked at me in the eyes. I could see his hetero chromatic eyes clearly.
"Why should I tell you, byon?!" Ken scowled at me and then turned the other way.
"He's Joshima Ken and I'm Kakimoto Chikusa." Chikusa popped out and said.
"Nice to meet you all then." I said with a small smile. "How lo-" I was cut off by the loud sounds of metal clashing.
All of us turned our heads towards the door. There was two tall men standing there, unlocking the door and walking in.
They came my way and pulled me up from my spot. I yelped in pain. They pulled me without mercy, the grip on my arm was tight.
"H-Hey, let go!" I tried to struggle but to no avail.
They said nothing in reply and continued to drag me out of the prison.
With no choice left, I let them drag me out.
Mukuro's POV
I woke up from my nap when I heard the door unlocking. And then they threw a person in. The person was small and I couldn't determine whether he was a male or a female.
Ken and Chikusa threw glances at the person and looked at me. I shrugged.
And then I could hear grunting sounds. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. But soon, a foreign voice rang. And from the voice, I knew immediately that the owner of the voice is a 'she'.
"Hey, you over there." The tone of the voice surprised me. There was no fear at all.
"Don't address Mukuro-san so simply, byon!" Ken yelled at her.
"Kufufu, it's fine Ken." I said to Ken but my gaze was still on her. I continued, "Yes, how may I help you, little one?"
"Can you tell me where I'm?" Our eyes met but she didn't look away.
How rare.
Every single one who had seen my eyes would just look away immediately in fear. And they'd try to never meet my eyes.
"Kufufu, a new one it seems." I mumbled amusingly. "This is the Estraneo Lab. The place where children are experimented on all kinds of things like drugs, weapons and all sorts of dreadful things." And I smirked, thinking about her reaction.
And as I expected, I could see her eyes widened. But there was still no sign of fear.
"What are your names?" She asked after a short silence.
"Kufufu, why not tell us yours first?" I started.
"Fine. Yukina. Now, your turn." She answered immediately. Impatience laced her crisp clear and confident voice.
Hmm? What an amusing creature. This is the first time someone told me their name so simply. No trick, no hesitating. I smirked slightly.
"Oya? No first name?" I raised an eyebrow at her.
"It's none of your business. Your name please."
"I'm Rokudo Mukuro."
"Why should I tell you, byon?!" Ken scowled at her and then turned the other way.
"He's Joshima Ken and I'm Kakimoto Chikusa." Chikusa answered for Ken.
"Nice to meet you all then." She said with a small smile. "How lo-"
And then there were sounds of the door unlocking.
I looked at her as she was dragged out. But unlike other children that was once here, she didn't cry nor scream in fear.
I smirked playfully.
"Mukuro-sama, is there anything wrong?" Chikusa asked.
"Kufufu, no, nothing at all." The smirk still remains on my face. I closed my eyes, resuming my nap.
This looks fun. How amusing. Such a petite girl, special and know no fear.
How will you entertain me?
I look forward to it.
We walked down corridors and they pushed me into a room, and another two men grabbed me. This two men were wearing lab coats. They 'escorted' me to the cold metal table which seems like a place for experiments to be held. The room reeks of chemicals.
Both my hands and legs were tied up tightly. I couldn't move and I started to feel afraid.
What will happen to me next? I wonder.
They brought out syringes and the sight of that made my stomach churn. I had always hated needles.
Without any warning, they stabbed one of the syringes into me and everything felt blurry. And soon, everything blacked out.
I opened my eyes, and felt searing pain in my mind. My body is aching everywhere, it hurts. Everything hurts. And it's dark. I felt cold and scared.
I slowly sat up and scanned the surroundings. I couldn't recognize this place at all.
Where…Am I?
With a blank look, I tried to figure out. But nothing came to my mind. I tried to think, by common sense, where is this, but I can't even answer my own doubts.
What am I doing here?
I tried to think, recalling back any memories. But…there was none?
Every time I tried to think, it was blank.
There was nothing.
I tried and tried. Never stopping, never giving up.
Nothing at all.
Who…Am I? What am I?
I grabbed my head, it hurts. I felt unbearable pain and tears were pricking at my eyes. And soon I was panting like there was no tomorrow and tears cascaded down my cheeks. Beads of perspiration were starting to form on my forehead.
Emptiness was all I felt.
What? Who? How? Where? Why?
I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
I know nothing at all. What happened to me? Why do I not know all this? Is it normal for one to not know all this?
Someone tell me!
"Kufufu, is there anything wrong with you, little one?"
I snapped out of my thoughts and perked up, ignoring the pain for now.
Glancing at where the sound came from, I saw three boys.
One with a weird hairstyle, one with a pair of lifeless eyes and and one with weird teeth. To sum it up, they are all weird.
"…" I was silent for a long time and silence filled the room. I parted my lips to talk but soundlessly I closed them again, not knowing what to say.
I looked down at my feet, curling up myself into a ball. Meekly I said, "Who…Am I?"
And then the silence returned. There were no more sounds. As I waited with fear and insecure in my heart, I tightened the grip on my shirt. So tight it was wrinkled badly and my fingers were turning white.
"It seems they had erased all your memories, little one." The same voice rang. I looked up at him with expecting eyes, urging him to continue. "They often do this to the children. Children with no memories obey better after all." He continued.
So…My memories were erased?
Then…Who am I?
...
I…want to know.
"…Do you know who I am?" I asked.
"You told me your name was Yukina and nothing more." He replied and gave me a shrug.
"Yu...kina…" I mumbled over and over.
The name was foreign yet strangely familiar.
I was given a name. A name other than 'Yukina'.
'171'
And then Mukuro told me he was '69', Ken '14', Chikusa '45'.
Everyday, I would be forced to go in the same room to do the same thing. Syringes seem to like me a lot.
It hurts. Much more than the first time.
But at the same time I was glad. Glad that I finally have some memories.
And then I was reminded that it was all memories of pain.
But I learned not to cry anymore. Crying are what weak people do. That's what Mukuro told me.
I got to know more about Mukuro, Ken and Chikusa. They too, get experimented as much as I do. Though it was all different kinds of experiments, but it doesn't change the fact that it brought us pain. Unbearable pain.
We would sometimes comfort and try to ease each other's pain.
We would talk and sometimes share our opinion.
Opinions about revenge. Opinion about humanity. Opinion on our lives.
Mukuro and I, we both share the same thing.
Hatred towards the Mafia.
We decided that we will one day take over the Mafia world. Together we'll destroy and clean this insignificant and dirty world.
I always thought of one thing, and knew no answer to it.
Why am I living on this world? Is there a reason for me to live?
But soon this question was wiped away from my mind. I now have a new goal in my life.
Revenge.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for the favs/follows/reviews on the last chapter!
Just in case anyone is confused, Yukina is 3, Tsuna is 6, Mukuro is 7. Ken and Chikusa are 6.
The reason why Yukina's 171 is because I happen to like the number 171. XD
