As time goes on, people change. As people change, you lose another friend that you cherish and love. When they disappear from your life, you can't help but feel cold, lonely and abandoned.
Oh, guys if you're wondering—but didn't the seal get removed(spoiler for some people who haven't read the manga) I just doesn't feel right without the pacifiers so I'm keeping them in the story okay?

Chapter 4 – Delivering Pudding
"What do you want this time, Verde." I glared at the Arcobaleno.
"Nothing, I was only on my way back from a meeting," he smirked.
"I already know that." I roll my eyes at the information I already know.
"Prodigious as ever I see."
"I'm not 'prodigious' I'm just me."
"But you hold more knowledge than the average human."
"Your point?"
"I'll be taking you with me so I may have experiment on that brain of yours."
"I'm afraid I cannot attend at the moment for I am awaiting a ride," I say checking the time on my phone. I really don't want to pop this thing out every time I want to know the time. I need to take a job and buy myself a watch.
"By the way, how did you get to Japan?" he asks quirking an eyebrow.
"I was kidnapped by assassins." I said and he stared at me with disbelief. "…What? You asked."
"I expected you to say 'I'm a Top Magician' like usual but since you didn't you must be telling the truth." I shrug.
"I only say it when necessary." Verde sighs.
"Sometimes I forget you're six."
"You know my age? What a creeper~" I edge back just as someone picked me up. "Ah, Squ-chan. You're here."
"VVOOOIII, BRAT! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU OUT HERE THIS LATE BY YOURSELF?!"
"I had places to go to." I hold my dress down for the second time today.
"By assassins you meant the Varia?!" Verde asked. "And you're ALIVE?!"
"Yeah, I forgot why they needed me though…" I turn to Squ-chan. "Can I have a piggy-back? I'm tired."
"VVOOIII-" I shot him a cold glare.
"I will send a copy to everyone in Vongola your top ten darkest secrets." I actually don't have them but I can always go to Fuuta.
Piggy-backs are always so much motherfucking fun…
"Like hell you would know any of them."
"She's prodigious, don't underestimate her."
"I said I'm not fucking prodigious! I'm a Top Magician!" I finally snapped by the useless bickering. "I have my ways in fucking getting things, alright?!"
"Where the fuck did you learn those words?" Squ-chan narrowed his eyes at me.
"I've always known them, and may I remind you that I've been around you, Xanxan-chan and Baka-Bel more than once?"
"Baka-Bel? He'll sure like that one," Squ-chan says sarcastically before walking away. Then Squ-chan took a sharp turn… onto a tall building. "Why are we traveling by air? I have a dress on!~"
"VVVVOOOOII! CAUSE IT'S FASTER!" He said as we landed on the roof of a hotel that I'm guessing is where we're staying. I sigh.
"You, Squ-chan, have a way with traveling and words." I shake my head but then realize that we are falling. Down the building… That tears it. "OI! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I'M ONLY FUCKING SIX YEARS OLD!"
I am NEVER getting Squ-chan to pick me up. It'll have to be Mammon or Baka-Bel. He seems to like that name too. He threw a knife at me. Yup, he loves it.
So I'm in the kitchen, being stalked by Mammon, Squ-chan, and Baka-Bel. They don't know that I know; I have to be as normal as any normal six-year old… Wait. That's impossible… Shit.
"Sakura saku maiochiru nani mo nai boku no te no ue. Hakanakute yasashikute kowaresou kimi mitaina hana~ " I sang as I mixed the ingredients for all the pudding I'm about to make. I have to make quite a lot. Oh my Death, I wonder if Hiba-chan would care for some…
I didn't notice the blush on my face until I heard a quiet 'Ushishi~ She's blushing~' and a 'VVOOII! SHUT UP!'
Squ-chan sucks at whispering…
"I still don't see the point in watching me. I'm just making pudding…" I say placing two batches in the oven and set the timer.
"How long did you know we were here?" Mammon asks coming out from the shadows. I sit on a stool.
"Not long, just until I heard 'Ushishi' and 'VVOOII'" I lie and stare at his pacifier. Curiosity gets the best of me and I reach for it. When I reached for Bermuda's it-
"What are you doing?" Mammon asks, tapping me out of my thoughts. I'm only a few inches away from poking it. I look up.
"May I?"
"It'll cost you."
"Sure." With that I closed the space between my index finger and the pacifier. It shined brightly and I back away. "Tch." I backed away. Took the risk… and blew it. Nice going, Lacie.
"How did you do that?!"
"You expect me to know?" I ask quirking an eyebrow. In all honesty, I really have no clue. Bermuda says it's probably because I'm with Vendince now but we both know that that isn't true. But then there's that mark…
"You know everything," Baka-Bel smirks, "Or so you claim."
Fuck. He got me on that one. Well, guess it's time for a good-old, classy thing called… winging-it.
"Touché, I do know. But I cannot tell you, for if I do it may cause my death to be earlier than I expect it." Lie&Truth. Oh wait, I just spilled that I'm gonna die early. Oops. I notice that they're all frowning at me.
"VOI. What do you mean by your death?" Squ-chan asks, actually…concerned? I sigh. I guess I should at least tell them I expect myself to die in a few years…
"I expect myself to die earlier than I actually should. That's all there is to it, no more questions. I've been asked too many already and if you ask more questions I will surely convince Xanxan-chan to kill you." I say walking over to the oven right before the timer went off.
"Ushishi~ Don't be so cocky." I felt knives pierce my hat.
"Ow. Baka-Bel, I told you that throwing knives is dangerous~" I take them out and hide one in an illusion then throw them back to him. He catches all of them but what caught all of them off guard was the new scratch mark on the 'Prince's' face and my illusion fading away from the knife edged in the wall.
"My… Blood…" and then Baka-Bel went batshit crazy. Xanxan-chan learned of what I did and just laughed then threw a whine bottle at Squ-chan. Then it happened. I was asked another question.
"Trash, so why the hell are you here?" Xanxan asked me. My eye twitched and I abruptly slammed my hands on the table, standing from my spot.
"SQU-A-LO~" I sent him a cold glare. He gulps. I have only once used his real name and never used it again. "WHY DOES HE NOT EVEN KNOW WHY I'M FUCKING HERE? I THOUGHT EVERYONE KNEW. OH MY JEGUS, WHAT KIND OF A MOTHERFUCKING IDIOT ARE YOU. TCH!" I breathe a few times the realized I clicked my tongue. "Ah! I clicked my tongue…"
"What the hell is a 'Jegus'?" Squ-chan asks staring at me.
"A troll version of Jesus." I deadpanned.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"The hell?"
"You asked. I answered. Case closed." I shrug.
"I like this kid." Xanxan-chan laughed.
"Why thank you, but you'll hate me when I actually start to act like Fran~" I skipped out of the room we were in and went to Mammon's. I told them that there was no way in hell I would make it out alive myself when I already know the whole layout of this whole castle.
I woke up the next morning hugging a sleeping Mammon. Surprisingly, he snuggled up to me. Yup, that's right. I slept in Mammon's room, bed, and with him. I could think of a thousand perverted things right now but ain't nobody got time for that. I get out of bed without waking Mammon, I should call him Viper just to piss him off, and go to the bathroom and take a quick shower.
I get out of the shower and change into fresh clothes. I pulled on some short jean-shorts and a black tank-top and made sure it cover my mark then proceeded to leave a not on Viper's forehead and headed towards the kitchen. I grabbed my bag on my way out opened the fridge to find all the puddings I made… still there. Thank Jegus. I slipped each into their own container and set them in my bag carefully then headed to the front gates.
"Oi! Who are you?!" Men with guns run up to me.
"Ah, I'm Lacie. Current guest, I'll be coming back later today." I bowed then continued walking.
"Oh, right! Lacie-sama is a guest of the Boss's!" the backed off and opened the gates.
It was about 9:45 AM and I was at the entrance of Kokuyo Land. I walked in to be greeted by my cute brother.
"Lacie-nee! Did you bring my pudding?!" Fran asks with sparkle in his eyes. I smile slightly and nod. "Yay~"
"Honestly, I am very curious as to why he likes your pudding so much. We bought him endless amounts but never did he shut up about yours." Mukuro comes in annoyed.
"I don't know either." I shrug and take out a container of pudding from my bag and hand one to Fran and another to Mukuro.
"Why so many?" Pineapple-san quirks an eyebrow.
"I have other people to see." I leave a container for Chikusa, Ken, and W.W.—I mean M.M. "Those are for the others. Make sure Fran doesn't eat them." I start walking out and pass Chikusa and Ken, they freeze when they realize that Fran is right in front of them and not the person they just passed.
"Mukuro-san! Who was th-what are you doing?"
"This pudding is incredible…" Then I was too far from hearing range but I smirked at the fact that Mukuro admitted that my pudding is amazing.
That is the best win I could get from him.
By the time I get to Nami-chuu it's 20 minutes until noon and I was exhausted. I walk through the front gates only to be stopped by a certain(and fucking drop-dead gorgeous) prefect.
"Child, why are you here? Where are you parents?" He demands. Shit… I look up slowly, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks as I stare at him. I blink.
He stares at me and I stare back. I control my emotions and make my face completely expressionless despite the fact that I am fangirling on the inside.
Quite the predicament…Fuuuuuuuuu-
"I don't have any," was my reply. Haha, win-
"Then why are you here?" Double Fuuuuuuuuuuuu- "Well?"
"I'm here to drop something for Reborn-ojii." He stared at me again.
"The Baby?" I nod. "If you're a friend of the Baby's then that means you can fight, correct?"
"More or less…" I tried to walk past him. It will be noon in about 15 minutes now…A tonfa blocked my view and I quickly dodged it. "You move really fast…"
"I could say the same for you." He smiles and gets in a fighting stance. "Child, fight me."
"I assure you that I have no reason to fight you, Hibari Kyouya," I deadpanned
"How do you know my name child?" I shrug.
"I hold more information than anyone in the world, thus, you should want me more as an ally than an enemy."
"Wao, how old are you, child?" Holy shit. Did he just… 'Wao' at me?! Okay… Stay calm…..KYAAAA~ AHEM…
"I am six years old and my name is Lacie not child. Also, can you please show me where Reborn-ojii is, please?"
"Follow me."
"Wait." He just stopped and turned to look at me, not saying anything.
"Can you carry me?" I ask hopefully(but of course, didn't show it). "I've been walking since 8AM and I am exhausted…"
"…" He sighed and came towards me then picked me up with one arm(basically carrying how a mother would while feeding a baby; the whole one arm thing while they're feeding the baby or talking on the phone. I hope you people understand o.o…). "Take off that ridiculous hat, it's against school regulations."
I happily obliged and made my illusion disappear.
"Hide the Key at Mt. Fuji, Mt. Fuji, Mt. Fuji. Hide the Key at Mt. Fuji, My Fair Lady…" I sang quietly and my apple hat disappeared…I fell so naked. I could feel Hiba-chan staring at me intently. "Hurry, I have to get these to them before they leave the classroom~" He starts walking in the building and I smile. Enma-chu is here too, hehe~
Ding~ Dong~
The bell for lunch rang and Hiba-chan slammed open the door making everyone stop in their tracks and stare at him in fear… until they see me. I look to see Tsuna staring at me with a 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE' face and then I look to his right and see the adorable red head. ENMA-CHU~ I start fangirling internally.
"Omnivore, there you are." Hiba-chan says setting me down. He turns around to leave but I stop him.
"Hiba-chan, wait!" he freezes and stares at me. I take out a pudding container and hand it to him. "Thank you for helping me!" I smile. He takes it and leaves. I turn around to find everyone staring at me.…what? He's that hot and you guys haven't made a move yet? Is what I wanted to say but I just walk over to Tsuna.
"A-ah… L-Lacie-chan… What are you d-doing here?" he asks.
"I promised I would bring you pudding." I say taking out a container and setting it on his desk. "Is Reborn-ojii here, Tsuna-nii?"
Yamamoto walks over and laughs. "Another friend of the kids'?"
"Not really." I deadpanned. "In fact, I think I'm an enemy…" I take out another container, handing it to Yamamoto. "Here you go, Yamamoto-nii." He looked at me surprised. I noticed that the students decided to clear out and it was basically only people involved with the mafia in here.
"JUUDAIME! I'M BACK!" I snap my head towards Gokudera. He stares at me and I stare back.
"Awe, fuck." I say and at the same time Gokudera glared at me. Outside, I'm calm but inside? I'm panicking.
"L-Lacie-chan! You swore?!"
"Cause he's here. I forgot you're Tsuna-nii's 'right-hand man'," I roll my eyes.
During the 5 months I somehow managed to run in to Gokudera on a trip with the Vendince. The reason I'm panicking is because I think he saw my face. My 'Family' aren't here at the moment, even though I already knew they would be—I was still sad.
"Gokudera Hayato, also know as Smokin' Bomb Hayato. Currently the right-hand man of the 10th Vongola Boss, Sawada Tsunayoshi. Mother died in a car accident and father remarried to another woman. Siblings, one sister, Bianchi—also know and Poison Scorpion Biachi. Known well for her Poison Cooking." I listed off the things I knew. Everyone looked surprised while Gokudera scowled at me.
"Lacie, last name unknown, twin sister of Fran." Reborn comes in through the window and I chuck a container at him which he catches. I walk over to Enma-chu and he flinches away. "Verde calls her prodigious but she denies it. She knows more than she should and never tells anyone what they actually want to know, and, she knows the out-come of everything. And there almost no information about her." I hand Enma-chu his container.
"Enma-chu, here… it's pudding…" He takes it as I angrily chuck one at Gokudera.
"Enma…chu?" Enma says slowly and I just nod.
"Reborn-san, there is something else you should know about her," Gokudera begins.
"Go-ku-de-ra-kun~" I sing in a high pitch and innocent voice. "If you say anything I will-"
"She's with V-" My illusion self disappeared and Gokudera was on the floor with me on him(A/N:don't think pervertedly!), about to use chains on my arm(hid with illusions) to stab him directly thru the throat.
"-have to kill you."
"VVOOOOIII! BRAT!" a voice bellows. I freeze. Shit. I forgot that people are watching.
"Geh." I freeze and turn around to see Squ-chan come in through the window.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU LEAVE SO FUCKING EARLY I THE MORNING?!" Squ-chan yelled at me.
"Because I had pudding to deliver." I deadpanned then turned to Gokudera. "Never mention what you saw that day. The truth will come out eventually so I need you to not say anything until then. I promise I won't hurt your precious Boss, I'm only here for Fran." I spat at him before standing up and making my apple appear again then walk over to Squ-chan.
"VOI. We're leaving." I nod and he throws me over his shoulder then jumps out the window.
"What the hell just happened?" I hear Tsuna deadpan and I just smile.
I peek up at the roof and notice Hiba-chan staring at me and I just throw him a peace sign.
