"It's because we help out when they're in trouble
that we can count on them to come running when
we need it." -Nara Shikamaru
(Ikebukuro, Japan)
How did her life end up like this? How was this her life? Why did Izaya have to taunt her best friend? Why did said best friend have to fall for the taunts? Sasagawa Saki gave a sigh as she glanced up from her wad of cash, she had counted it at least twelve times and it was finally becoming tedious, though she wished she had counted for a thirteenth time because she had to look up at the painful sight of her boss-one Orihara Izaya, dodging and playfully smacking around her best friend Hibari Kyoya who came to bring her back to her hometown of Namimori, "Shizuo-san will be here soon." was the bored sounding off-hand comment as she reached up to brush back a lock of bleach blonde hair, "Oh no, the knifes." was the monotone response as a knife flew past her tilted head and a click of the tongue was given as she saw a small lock get cut off. Rolling her sunset orange hued eyes, the fourteen year old informant blinked owlishly, "Incoming vending machine." she had to hold back a snort as it rammed into her boss while Hibari stood there a bit stunned and unsure if he should go after or look towards where the fending machine flew from, "Come on Kyoya." of course when she walked over to him and took his wrist, she ignored the startled flinch and glare as she dragged him at a sedated pace away from what was about to happen, "Bye Shizuo-san." of course the response she got was a scream of her boss's name, "Hey did you have your driver, drive you here? It's a long drive back-that is a motorbike...what about my stuff-why are you taking out your cell?"
Hibari Kyoya simply glared down at his friend. She should count herself lucky he even considered her as such. Their friendship did start off by blackmail but he had to grudgingly admit that trust was slowly built but his thoughts began to digress, a scowl over took his face, "Silence." he swiftly finished his text, ignoring how Saki muttered some nonsense about how he texted like some Rowen fellow from a video game, "I have sent word for your things to be delivered." glancing up he gave a slight twitch as he saw a small crowd forming and gazing at himself and then Saki unsure.
Saki followed his gaze to see her three senpai from the high school division, "Oh It's Kida-kun, Anri-chan, and Ryu-fucking hell!?" a yelp left her as Hibari had placed her upon his bike, only to stiffen as she was up against a firm chest, arms on either side of her as they gripped the handle bars, "Oi this is illegal isn't it?"
"I do not trust you behind me."
"That's cold."
"Silence."
"I'm going to put a shock to your system."
"Kamikorosu."
"Ouch! You actually did it? Kinky-shutting up."
(Namimori, Japan)
By time they had arrived in Namimori, they had traveled for about six hours by bike, then a private jet owned by the Hibari family which while inside she gave Hibari a puzzled look before they were traveling once more on his bike, it took almost nine hours for them to arrive in Namimori and once they did, Hibari simply took her straight to his own home, "Kyoya."
Hibari gave a small grunt as he simply walked into his house only to pause and glance back at the youngest Sasagawa, "You will be living here." he gave a small smirk as her face twisted into a scowl, "Wao. What an expression." with that he swiftly went inside as the head butler Tazuna appeared and escorted him inside.
"What the hell?" Saki was left mystified in the Hibari manor's front yard, staring as out of nowhere maids appeared all wearing traditional Japanese servant outfits, her things being moved in and slowly she took the phone that was held out to her to hear her own mother, "Kaa-chan?"
"Hello Saki. Kyo-chan's, tou-chan called us and said you were to live with Kyo-chan until we can turn your room back to a room!"
A blank gaze was on her face as she briefly wondered why the hell her parents even did something to her room, "Hah...?"
"We placed most of Ryohei's boxing trophies in there, sorry sweetie. I hope you have fun with Kyo-chan and use protection if-"
"Holy shit-Kaa-chan! Kyoya and I are not in a sexual relationship! I am fourteen and a virgin!" Saki all but growled out despite the maids staring and then making eye-contact with Hibari who was standing at the entrance with a blank face, "Oh fuck." she watched as he walked off and she cursed as she heard her mother giggle, "Goodbye." she hung up and swiftly ran her fingers through her hair before glancing at a maid, "Whoa..." blinking slowly Saki took in the lovely forest green hair, the emerald green eyes on a heart shaped face, "Erm..."
"Greetings Sasagawa-san. I am Mebuki. I will be your personal maid." Mebuki gave a bow as she slowly stood up, posture straight, "Shall I bring you to your new housing?"
"No, no...just...tell Kyoya I am going out for a bit."
"Very well, Sasagawa-san."
Saki was grumbling as she gazed at her hand, watching the electricity or rather lightning dance up and down her palms to her finger tips, "To think Izaya-san could teach me such a thing." of course she looked into it and Shinrai and his strange baby friend named Verde were very interested, 'Izaya has something called Mist Flame, Shinrai has Sun, Shizuo-san has Cloud...I think? So I am Lightning?' she paused her walk, stopping in the middle of the street, gazing down at her hand, 'To protect and guard. How the hell is this my affinity?' clicking her tongue, she heard a child, gaze shifting a bit she listened to the parent and child.
"Kaa-chan, why is that girl staring at her hand?"
"Who knows, Miki. Let's go now."
"So normal people can't see this?" a thoughtful look came across Saki's features as she clenched her fist, 'It seems my information must be updated. Though from what Verde-san said, those who have already awakened their flame sense...' it was then she felt something warm slam into her and she was left breathless almost for a moment, eyes darting around she swiftly dug into her pocket and pulled out a old looking glove that was sent to her, 'I should ask, I really should ask...but I should not.' she was torn, she knew what she had to do and so with even steps that slowly broke out into a run, she ran from the market place, all the way towards Namimori shrine, her body recalled the way and once there she held the glove out, "Giotto. I was told you would answer my questions, I need to know-god I sound like an idiot talking to an antique glove-it is glowing. The glove is glowing. What the fuck-holy ..." of course she was frozen as a beautiful man with blonde hair, orange eyes, a beautiful orange flame on the forehead appeared before her in a well tailored suite, "...?!" alarmed, her hand shot over her nose stunned as it bled ever so slightly.
Giotto blinked slowly, he was a bit stunned that his spirit was summoned from the rings and the little limbo they were placed in by the one who gifted him with his rings, "...Seimi?" staring at him was his Lightning Gaurdian-no. She looked just like Seimi did as they were growing up, "...I see..." a very soft look came across his face as he glanced around before back at the girl, "...Hello, Miss."
"...Please excuse me while I process that there is a hot ghost man floating before me." Saki got out in a dry tone as she took in the male before her, 'Okay so Verde-san stole something, yeah. His hands have same gloves. Oh god Verde-san stole something this important from whoever? Am I going to be killed? '
"Ah?" Giotto could not help but give a small amused chuckle as he saw the teenager mentally panicking, "My name is Giotto but you may call me Ieyasu if you wish." slowly kneeling down, he gazed at the young girl who gazed back at him stunned and he felt a small smile form, "...Now what of you?"
"...My name is...Sasagawa Saki...I'm an informant by trade and...I have questions about ...flames, Giotto-san." a bit breathless Saki was dazed as she felt a gentle embrace of a warm flame. She had no clue what it was but she was so at ease, so comfortable.
"Very well, Saki. Let me tell you a story...about how I discovered the Flames."
Saki was happy. She never had felt this happy before-maybe once when she was younger, when a boy who looked very similar to her new friend Giotto was near her side. Of course she was given permission to wear the glove despite it being just a single glove now. Gazing at it she wondered what he meant by he would be able to visit again once the time was right, 'When the sky awakens...what does that even mean? There is a sky here?' shaking her head ever so lightly, Saki gave a grunt as she felt a body ram into her, hands shooting out they gripped dainty shoulders and she blinked a bit stunned at a pair of beautiful milk chocolate eyes, "Huh?"
Sawada Tsunayoshi had tripped over a rock, before he could even cry out in shock he felt a pair of strong hands grasp his shoulders and when he looked up he saw sunset orange eyes and a familiar face, "H-Hie?! K-Kyoko-chan?!" his heart was thundering hard against his rib cage now as he was steadied by the female, 'Oh crap! Kyoko-chan! She helped me! I wonder if she is going to start Namimori...I hope so. I did choose to go there because of that-crap! She is talking!'
"Ho? You know my aniue?" Saki gave a small amused tone as she watched the boy stare at her confused before it shifted to alarmed, "I'm Sasagawa Saki, I just moved back to Namimori from Ikebukuro." slowly moving back and shoving her hands into her pockets, she gazed at the boy who looked like he was having a panic attack, "Is something wrong...?"
"Hie?! Kyoko-chan has a-wait ...did...did you say...Saki?" Tsuna's brows furrowed as he gazed at the female before him, staring at her, he did not even notice his eyes light up with a hue of orange. He knew a Saki. There was someone from primary school-no way. Eyes going a bit wide, Tsuna spoke in an unsure tone, "Sa-chan...?"
"Huh? What did you call me...?" Saki's voice was a bit breathless as she gazed in slight alarm. She was remembered? By whoever this was? No only one person called her that and it was started because of a mother of a classmate from primary school-no way. Backing up ever so slightly, Saki stared at Tsuna with a bit of alarm, "...I got to go. Excuse me." swiftly walking around him, she was almost past him when she felt a surprisingly strong grip on her wrist, "What?!"
Tsuna gave a flinch as he let go, "H-Hie! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I don't know what came over me! P-Please forgive me!" shrinking down into himself, he watched with a bit of fear and confusion as all he got was a blank gaze before he was watching the girl dart off. Falling onto his ass, he was shaking ever so slightly as he brought a hand to grasp at his chest, "It...it was her...Sa-chan...? She was...real...?"
Saki was halfway back to the Hibari manor, her thoughts racing as she slowly shook off, placing a hand to her head she began to chuckle before it became full blown laughter, arms circling around her in a hug as she laughed, she could not believe it! Someone knew her! Remembered her! He fixed the mistake himself! "Someone knows me for me...someone didn't keep insisting I was Kyoko..." glancing up she saw Hibari there, wearing a yukata and her laughter died a bit, "I was...remembered, Kyoya. Someone remembered me..."
"...Come inside." Hibari gave the command and watched as she slowly made her way to him before he caught her, gazing down at her as he was used to such a thing, "Tsk." eyes narrowing to slits, Hibari slowly picked Saki up into a bridal carry. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck prickle, his body stiffen, he felt his chest tightened. He hated this, being in such close contact with another being. It was foreign. It was uncomfortable. It took all his self-discipline not to just throw the girl somewhere random as he walked towards the room that was prepared for just for Saki. Once in he glanced to Mebuki, "Take care of her." with that he left the room.
Mebuki gave a small hum as she went to slowly change Saki into a nice sleeping yukata, "Hibari-sama must be taken with you. It is nice to see he has a true friend-..." a light sigh left her as she heard things being smashed, "I suppose he reached his limit." she heard the yelp of pain and new that a new butler had accidently bumped into him, "Well at least his new time of touching another person went up."
Upon waking up the next day, Saki gave a sigh as she recalled who that boy was, 'Sawada Tsunayoshi...right. He mistook me for Kyoko until I showed up for primary school. Though I think he may still think that it was Kyoko who helped him that day.' glancing out the window she blanked out as she recalled that day.
Saki knew she was tall for her age, and that her hair was strange. It was duel colored, steel silver mixed with a vibrant orange, her eyes were a warm honey amber which often looked like sunset orange if the light hit it just so. Of course she was already interested in making money as well collecting information on anything and everything, due to that she could not help but wonder why a small starfish haired boy was staring at her with big tear-filled eyes yet a blush on the cherubic face, "Are you okay?" she felt herself soften up as she adjusted her hat, only the vibrant orange was seen as she held a hand out to the small male who stared at her in shock before a soft and warm hand took hold of her own.
"U-Um...y-you...t-thank you..." Sawada Tsunayoshi got out, as he shyly took his hand back and began to fidget, playing with his little orange and white hoodie sleeves, he peeked up under his lashes to the pretty girl in front of him. Having seen her drop down from a wall and scare off the scary dog of his neighbor had him in a dazed shock, "...U-Um!" he quickly sputtered as he saw the girl go to leave, taking in the bright orange and white sneakers, the orange pants and orange jacket, he felt himself warm. Someone else loved the color orange, "H-Hie!?"
A bit startled at the cry she gave a small giggle and a warm smile watching the small boys face heat up even more, "I like your hoodie, its really nice. I gotta go. Bye-bye!" she darted off only to pause and glance back with a warm smile, "I'm Sasagawa by the way!" with a wave she rounded the corner the orange locks fluttering behind her.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was star-struck from the beautiful warm smile, and friendly tone of the girl, "S-Sasagawa...?" he figured it was the family name, he would find out her given name someday! With warmth blossoming in his chest, eyes slowly shifting with a fast glow of orange he turned around and darted back home with a smile.
A snort left her as she slowly moved off of her bed, running her fingers through her bleached locks, she felt her eyes narrow at the roots, seeing a vibrant orange making its way forth, "Great...always orange, then a shift to silver..." she fingered her bangs which were already growing out, the steel silver starting to show as she sighed. Glancing at the time she gave a small groan, "Five A.M...damn it." She was so used to waking up due to Izaya yanking her around to help him gather information in the early hours of the day that she was doing it here too! Shaking off she stared down at herself miffed, "Why am I in a yukata-wait how did I even get here?" she froze as she recalled how happy and hysterical she was when she arrived back, how Kyoya had caught her and she bashed her head into the wall, "Fucking ducks of all ducks! He is going to kick my ass!" of course that pretty much meant a evil sparing match from hell. Why was it he was nice to girls but the moment he sees strength-"Gah damn the Hibari clan!"
"...Kamikorosu." Hibari had entered the room to hear the end of what Saki had spoken to herself aloud, he watched as she turned a blank gaze on her face before she bolted and in a flash, he was charging after her, tonfas slipping out from his yukata sleeves, their bare feet pounding on the polished wood, he felt excitement rush through him as he began the hunt.
"Kyoya! You were hearing things! I will start Namimori chūgakkō when the new semester starts in the fall! You can smack me around then-wait no-don't smack me around! I thought we were best-friends-holy fuck did you just throw the tonfa at me!?" Saki gave an alarmed cry as she darted into the large garden, swiftly jumping over the large rocks, plants, and whatever else. Thankful that she was athletic and knew parkour, "Never thought I'd be happy Izaya-san taunted Shizuo-san." glancing back she paled as she saw the skylark had retrieved his thrown tonfa, "Son of a bitch!" swiftly throwing her hands up, she froze as a burst of warmth hit her and she saw the glowing form of-"Giotto-san!?"
Hibari was frozen as his tonfa was grasped by a strange entity that suddenly appeared before him, "Wao." a smirk was on his face as he gazed at the being before him. This being was practically a shining beacon of strength and power and it made him thirsty for a good fight.
Giotto gave a soft sigh as he glanced over his shoulder at Saki. It seemed he came here upon his own free will having sensed her being in danger, 'I'll have to work on that.' he would be able to follow her around as an invisible entity sooner or later once the new sky was awakened. Then he could pull fun tricks! Shaking off he gazed down at the Alaude look alike and he felt himself pale ever so slightly, "Ah...well...I suppose the only way to make you listen is to spar?" he watched as the male's eyes glowed a brighter silver-gray with a vibrant blue, 'Well Alaude, it looks like your will has moved onto another.'
Saki could only watch in one part awe, and one part horror at the fighting. She watched as Hibari began to spark a vibrant purple color that clashed with the glowing warm orange, 'Well shit...Kyoya is a cloud...actually that explains so much.' though at that moment as a zen rock flew towards her and she scrambled away she had one more thought, 'Fucking hell! I better learn how to protect myself with my own damn flames! Those two are insane!' she had a feeling things were going to get more chaotic in the near future, after all. She has an insane boss, she can now apparently summon spirits or whatever like one Abe no Seimi, and Kyoya was definitely going to be on her case, "Mother of god-its way to early for this shit!"
Yuri's Corner
Well everyone, here is the first chapter of Thundering Informant as you could already guess, yes this is going to be a replacement. Saki will be taking Lambo's place as the Lighting Guardian. Of course Lambo will still be showing up cuz I love Lambo but I really could not stand seeing him being hurt like he has been.
Now you may be wondering what the fuck is going on with Giotto. Now I want to say that the Primo gen still had their weapons (The ones not in the box) would still be around in possession like the Vongola sin. But of course they would no longer hold any power or what not. Verde had took one of the gloves the right one to be exact and had given it to Saki to test a theory he had as well as the experiment he had done on it. There are going to be some twist and turns in here. *cough*Whatgiottocalledsaki*cough*
Now I was not planning on this right away but my cute Shiki-tan wanted it (ANIMEMANGALUV3R) so I was a good senpai who took notice and decided to do this. Took a lot of extra plotting and planning and if you have questions ask away in a review and I'll reply back!
