Chapter 15
Reborn is confused.
"Yes… that is possible, Gokudera. But assassins don't just make themselves known to their prey," Reborn said sagely.
"That's true…" The tension was still in the room but it was slightly lifted.
"I know you're awake." I sighed.
"Sharp as ever, Tuna-nii." I sit up and yawn. "Thanks for waking me, jerks."
"What do you mean, 'sharp as ever?'" Reborn asked.
"I think you know what I mean. It does run in the bloodline, after all. Anyways, I'm not here to assassinate Tuna-nii. I ran away from the fucking bastard that adopted me and made me into this… monster." I considered myself a monster, yes. If only you saw all the memories I got from this life… you would have puked. I was surprised when Mukuro didn't recognize me.
We were both experimented by the Estraneo.
"I see, so why were those men chasing you?" Tsuna asked, concerned.
"My 'father' is trying to retrieve me. I'm his money-maker." My eyes went dark and rage lit in them but then it disappeared and I looked up to meet Tsuna's eyes. "It was pure luck I ran into you."
"You seem to know a lot." Reborn spoke up.
"There are many things I know. Even about the Arcobaleno." The tension grew in the room and Reborn's eyes sharpen as I covered my mouth. "I wasn't supposed to say that…" I muttered.
"Tell me what you know."
"I can't, and won't. I rather not talk about it…" my bangs shadow over my face.
"Alright. But will you tell me one day?"
"I won't need to. You'll find out without me anyways." I smile bitterly.
"This is our new transfer student, as you all already know, Sawada Lacie. Any questions?"
"Where are you from Lacie-chan?"
"I was born in France, raised in Italy." I answered immediately.
"Italy? Like Gokudera-kun?"
"Wow!"
"Amazing!"
"Everyone, quiet!" Nezu shouted at the class. They immediately shut up. "Go sit over there, next to Sasagawa. Sasagawa rais-"
I was already in my seat before he could even finish his sentence.
"W-well then… let's start the class…"
I bet you're wondering what happened for the past week, right?
Well, this is what happened in a shorter version:
"Lambo-sama is home!" Lambo yelled as he entered the house. I was in the kitchen eating flan that I made. "
"Lambo, no!" I-Pin's broken Japanese sounds out as well…and a bunch of thuds and explosions and screaming.
They both entered the kitchen and froze when they saw me.
"Maman is busy doing laundry, she'll be down soon though." I informed them.
"Who are you?" Lambo basically snarled at me.
"I I-Pin, what your name?"
"I already know who you are I-Pin, Lambo. My name is Lacie, a distant relative. I'm older than you guys by about a year." Lambo walked up to my chair but I kept eating my flan until it wasn't in my hands anymore.
It was in Lambo's stomach.
"WHAT THE HELL?" I screamed at him.
"Lambo-sama wanted something sweet." He shrugged.
"You could have, oh I don't know, ASKED!" I glare. I surround him in a bubble of mist. Not long you could hear him screaming. Tsuna comes running in with Bianchi holding Reborn.
"What's going on?!"Tsuna asked. "Eh, where's Lambo?" I point to the bubble.
"Being punished. Those below me are not allowed to take my food without being punished." I said with dark aura, serious face and annoyance.
"I like your methods." Reborn nodded, smirking. I dispel the mist and we see a crying Lambo.
"Gotta…Stay…Calm…" Despite that he starts wailing and takes out his 10-year bazooka.
"Oh, hey Bianchi! Can you go prepare my bath for me, please?" I said really fast.
"Sure, I'll be back, Reborn." She sets Reborn on the kitchen table and leaves just as Lambo disappeared into pink smoke.
"It's been a while, Young Vongola…" TYL Lambo says as the smoke disappears. I don't think I ever got to meet him last time… He turns to me and his eyes widen.
"Lacie…-nee…." His eyes tear up as the narrow and are filled with rage.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!" I take a step back. "Why didn't you tell us… about Fran…" I flinch at his name.
"Because…." I look away, tears filling my eyes. "You didn't hear my future-self out did you…?"
"No, we didn't…" He looked sad.
"You want to know why? Because my adopted father had me separated from him AT BIRTH." I screamed at him, tears running down my cheeks. "He had a real mother and I had a fake abusive one. He doesn't know I exist, Lambo. I didn't want to meet him until he was ready to know!"
"Well because of that, you're-" He was engulfed by pink smoke and baby Lambo appeared eating some grape candy.
"I'm going to take a bath." I start for the door.
"Wait. Who's Fran?" Reborn asked. I paused at the door.
"He's my brother."
Then I left.
Yeah, that was really serious. I didn't talk the rest of the week and I was all gloomy. Fuuta showed up during that week and cheered me up a bit even though I didn't say anything to him.
I'm glad I met him, but now I'm scared because of the rank he gave me.
I still remember it, it's in the back of my head.
"Lacie-chan ranks second out of 388,898 people to be forced on the bad side more."
That only means one thing and it isn't good.
"SAWADA…er… LACIE-SAN!" Nezu yells at me, slapping my desk with his ruler. I look up.
"WHAT?" I snap.
"Tell me the answer to that equation." I look at the look at the board and rolled my eyes at him.
"The answer is (5000,221,319x)+(35960m)-(12x) to the power of 3…is this a fucking college question? You dick." His face turned red. "Tell the principal on me and I'll get Kyo-chan on you."
"I…that was pure luck!" My eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"Try me."
"Go to the principal's office!"
"Why don't you, you fake teacher." I retorted. "You brag about how you always got amazing grades and went to a perfect school correct? But then Tuna-nii found your horrible test grades in a time capsule? Hasn't that taught you a lesson yet?"
He stormed out of the room and the class applauded as I put my head back down and continued to think.
What's wrong? You seem very down…
What do you think Alice?
Is that what you're naming me?
Yeah.
It's a pretty name, thanks. Anyways, tell me what's wrong.
Fuuta's rank is scaring the hell out of me. But if my hypothesis is correct… Then...
Then...?
Then Lambo has every right to be mad at me.
Ohh! If only you knew! So…yeah. Aha! Double update, told ya! c:
I can't do any review responses because… there aren't any. Well one, but I just don't feel like it. Maybe next chapter.
Anyways, Bye-Bii~
