Chapter 23
I was being shaken awake. I opened my eyes and see Akira smiling at me and telling me to wake up. I sit up obediently and look at him.
"Lace-chan?" He asked curiously.
"Yes, Akira?" I asked tilting my head to the side. He sighed as he turned to someone. I didn't notice that person was standing there.
"Lacie-sama, I have brought your meal," Leonardo Lippi said. He set it down and was about to leave until I stopped him.
"Leonardo-san," he froze at the coldness in my voice, "you should really be careful as to where you're stepping. If you step on Sanguigna you will not go unpunished." He looked down to see a tail. A tail that belonged to a white tiger, who was sleeping soundly on a special pillow.
"Lace-chan, you named him blood?" I looked back to Akira.
"I didn't choose the name, Akira." I raised my hand to his forehead and poked it. In that instant time froze.
"What am I to name you… I can't think when you're licking my face…" I said trying to figure out what to name my new tiger who was licking my face. He was only a cub then.
"VOOOOIII! HOW THE HELL SHOULD WE KNOW?!"Squ-chan yelled waving his sword around.
"SHUT UP! I WAS TALKING TO MYSELF!" Chrome was sitting next to me staring at the cub in my arms.
"Mukuro-sama said that why you don't just name him something that reminds you of something important," she said still staring at the small cub who would soon grow to a larger size.
"Never thought the Pineapple Queen would say something smart to me," I laughed. Akira came in with a distant look in his eyes. I frowned, he's been like this since the Varia Arc and it's bothering me. I mean sure what happened was kind of bad but not too bad to still feel guilt years later. When I thought of something important it somehow always came to Fran.
"Your name shall be…Pudding!" I announce. Everyone falls(anime-style of course) except for Xan-Xan and Hibari-sama, their eyes only twitched.
"L-Lacie-chan! Shouldn't you give him a more reasonable name?!" Tsuna sweatdropped. I looked at him, I know why they didn't show his future self in either series now. He was downright sexy. His facial features and body became more like Primo's, which shocks most people when they see his family as they resemble the first generation.
"But when I think of something important it always comes back to…him." Everyone just looked at me. Over the years, I was able to tell the Varia about Fran. I even told them he would be the new mist guardian soon and for anyone in Vongola to tell him about me.
"…Shorty," I looked over to Hibari-sama, "your little attendant is not here." I snapped and looked around.
"A-Akira?!"
I ended the memory and Akira stared at me in astonishment. For somereason, Akira reminded me of my only friend when I was alive. I was able to remember him because of Akira. They're alike in many ways, I also had the biggest crush on him…until..
"Lacie-chan," I looked over at Leonardo Lippi who I forgot was even standing there. "You need to eat your meal…please." I nod and start eating my now cold porridge. Porridge? What the fuck, Byakuran?! I'm sixteen, not an elderly woman on the edge of dying of heart failure!
Bitch.
When I finished Leonardo picked up the tray and walked out, politely excusing himself. I have to admit…Mukuro is one fine actor.
"Lace-chan?" I turn back to Akira and give a slight smile, which was extremely hard to do through the drug.
"Nothing, Akira. I'm just tired."
"Then you should sleep…" He smiled and stood up to leave. "I'll do your paperwork for now so that you'll just have to sign them." I nod and close my eyes.
Thank god I don't have to do that shit.
It's already been a month since I've been here.
Eight new shots of Lithium in that time period and became like the emotionless (and girl) version of Hibari Kyoya.
It's time for the Millefiore-Vongola 'negotiation' and I feel like throwing up blood and guts.
I'm standing on Byakutan's right with Akira at my right and Yuni at Byakutan's left. We were all walking to the front of this place, our legs moving in sync: Left, right, left right.
That's when they came in to view. I felt a pain in my chest but ignored it since it's unbecoming of a right-hand.
There they were standing together. The family I left: Tsuna, Hayato, Takeshi, Ryohei, Kyouyaand Chrome was there as well. But what shocked me was that part of the Varia was there as well. By that I mean Xan-Xan, Squ-chan, and Fran.
"Lacie…-chan?" Tsunayoshi looked at me shocked, as did everyone else(if you looked carefully you could have seen Hibari's eyes widen…and did I mention that no one knows where I went? I kind of just went…missing) while I stood next to Byakutan. He looked over to Akira. "When we heard your family disappeared… When did you…?"
"A month ago, Tsunayoshi-san," Akira answered bitterly. "When the Varia's illusionist broke Lace-chan."
Byakutan looked surprised for just a moment.
"Hmm~ This is surprising. I thought you only had a fight with the Vongola, why didn't you tell me you had a twin especially one that's in the Varia, Lacie-chan?" Byakutan smiled at me but if you strained your ear you could hear the slight annoyance in his voice.
"I'm sorry, Byakutan, but you never asked about my personal life," I stated simply. Fran snapped his head at me with shock in his eyes. It's probably because over the month I've been here… I basically became a person with no feelings or emotions again. No reason to smile anymore, not even for Akira. My voice became a slightly lower pitch than the little girl tone I had(and forced to make deeper so people recognized that I was older than I looked). But even I was surprised when he looked at me. Actually looked at me.
"Byakuran-sama, you have someone waiting in the game room, shall I escort the Vongolas to the meeting room?" Yuni asked clicking off her communicator.
"I see…" He grumbled. "Yes, go ahead. I'll be there in a few minutes." And so we led them to the meeting room while Byakutan went towards the opposite hallway.
"We're here." I announced while propping the door open and walking in after Yuni. Akira stayed by the door until everyone was in and he closed the door. We all sat down, me at the right of Byakuran's chair and Yuni at the left. Akira bowed and exited the room since he's not allowed in the meeting room with higher-ups but wait outside the door.
My hand reached felt the gun on my leg remembering Shoichi looking at it.
Is there something wrong with the gun I am using, Shoichi-san?" I asked him. Believe it or not, I had blocked any memories involving the future with the help of Alice. I rarely hear from her though…
"-acie-sama?" I look up at Shoichi, I blanked out.
"Yes?"
"You didn't respond. I said your gun is ready and you can go eat breakfast now."
I nod and took the gun, putting it back in its secure place.
"Yuni-sama, what is taking Byakutan such a long time away?" I ask, concern slightly in my voice. I also grew very fond of the man who drugged me for some reason.
"Byakuran-sama should be on his way, Lacie-san," She responded and I just nodded.
"Lacie-chan—"
"Sawada Tsunayoshi, I would rather you not treat me as a friend," I scolded.
"E-eh…?"
"Sorry I'm late!~ I had to grab some marshmallows on my way back~"
"It's alright, Byakuran-sama/Byakutan." Yuni and I said it at the same time. We had a habit of doing that a lot.
"Haven't you guys talked at all? I could practically feel the tension out in the hall!"
"What's there to talk about?" I asked.
"Lots of things, Lacie," Fran spoke out. We all looked at him.
"There is, really~ Well let's get down to business!" Byakutan sat down smiling and eating away his marshmallows. Yuni and I stand up, it was time.
We both walk over to Tsuna, his guardians had their guards up of course. I hug him, everyone looked shocked yet happy that I might have forgave Vongola. The tears started to build up and threaten themselves to fall. I reached for my gun and pointed it at Tsuna's chest as I turned the safety off and his eyes widen.
"L-Lacie…-chan?"
"Sawada Tsunayoshi… you will be dearly missed."
Then I pulled the trigger.
Everything went in slow motion.
From Tsuna slightly flying back from the impact, smiling. It was more of a sad yet…hopeful smile.
To the throbbing in my head that made me collapse and scream in pain. Medics ran in and pulled me up and I glared at them, then I glared at Byakuran. I knocked the medics out and ran across the table with my knives.
"BYAKURAAAAAAAAN!" I roared in anger, even the Vongola turned to look over at me briefly, but the look in their eyes… it was pure loathing. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU MADE ME DO THIS!" I scream with tears streaming down my face.
"Ohh! Lacie! You've regained consciousness again?" The Vongola were carefully carrying Tsuna out. Yuni was blocking my way so I looked back to see Fran, Squalo and Xanxus glaring at me.
"I'm sorry, for everything…" I said. They only scoffed and turned to leave. I turned away but not before missing the hidden camera the Fran left and him pulling out a screen to watch.
"Lacie-san, you are threatening the life of your boss. Know your place and back down."
"I'm sorry, Yuni!" I pick her up and kind of throw her to the side on the couch(when did that get there?!).
Some Cervello appeared out of no where with more Lithium. A lot of it.
"Ahh? Lacie-tan! It seems that you need even more Lithium to obey my orders." His face was cold and irritated. I've always managed to break out of the drug and he would get upset about it.
"I'm a fighter, Byakuran. I won't let you have your ways anymore. I may be put under that beloved drug of yours, but that doesn't mean you've won my heart, and my heart is with Vongo—" There's three stabs in each of my arms and three in each legs. "…la…" I fall to my knees and let darkness consume me once again.
"Lacie-chan, you will not forget that you belong to me and no one else. Got it?" He actually snapped at me, before I passed out, out of habit I said:
"Yes…..Byaku….ran…" Then, everything finally went black.
Fran's POV(THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES! :D Fran has feelings in this, and he's OOC BUT WWHATEVVER)
When we first arrived, I dreaded the moment of meeting. We all knew something was going to go wrong.
It did.
My sister appeared alongside this, Byakuran guy. It shocked us all, really. Her family had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth, and here she is. On the enemies side. There was something about her eyes that seemed distant though. Then it got worse.
When my own flesh and blood shot our boss right in front of us.
It was like her stabbing me with knives when she did that. After Lacie left the Vongola, they all explained to me about when she was little, I was always on her mind. I forgave her, but the problem was…she just vanished. But now she's here. And she just killed our 'Boss'.
His guardians were around him instantly. Then we heard a roar.
"BYAKURAAAAAAAAN!" Everyone looked at her in pure loathing, I was the only who noticed the tears streaming down her face as she ran across the table with knives in her hands. The Vongola started ignoring her but I still listened. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU MADE ME DO THIS!" Just what is going on?
"Ohh! Lacie! You've regained consciousness again?" Byakuran had this look of irritation on his face. The other girl, Yuni, was blocking Lacie's way, she looked back at us. Shark Captain and Boss were glaring at her. Then I realized I was too.
"I'm sorry, for everything…" We scoffed and turned to leave. I secretly put a camera in the hidden in mist flames before leaving and pulled out a screen to watch.
"Lacie-san, you are threatening the life of your boss. Know your place and back down." Yuni said, still blocking Lacie's way.
"I'm sorry, Yuni!" Lacie pick her up threw her to the side on the couch…when did that get there?
Some Cervello appeared out of no where with stuff in their hands. Shark Captain came next to me and was about to shout for being slow when he saw what I was watching.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE Y—" He started, but what we heard next shut him up and explained everything.
"Ahh? Lacie-tan! It seems that you need even more Lithium to obey my orders." Byakuran's face was cold and irritated.
"I'm a fighter, Byakuran. I won't let you have your ways anymore. I may be put under that beloved drug of yours, but that doesn't mean you've won my heart, and my heart is with Vongo—" There's three needle-things in each of her arms and three in each legs. "…la…" She falls to my knees and looks like she's about to pass out.
"Lacie-chan, you will not forget that you belong to me and no one else. Got it?"
Her eyes slowly started closing until she said something.
"Yes…..Byaku….ran…"
"Shark Captain."
"Shut up, trash. I know." We caught up with everyone and we got in the limo and rushed the driver back to HQ. "VVVOOOOIIII! EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!" Everyone turned to glare at him.
"It wasn't Lacie-chan's fault."
"Herbivore. Do not defend the enemy, even if the carnivore is your twin."
"I have a right to defend her, because that wasn't her."
"TRASH! GET TO THE FUCKING POINT!" Boss shouted at us.
"VVOOOIII! THE GIRL WAS DRUGGED, YOU STUPID-DAMNED-LAZY BOSS!"
Everyone went quiet.
"What drug…?" The sun guardian asked. I turned to look at him and everyone looked at me expectantly.
"Lithium."
I'M SO SORRY!
