A/N: Yeah I know it took a while to upload, but going to a new school and adjusting has been draining. On a more important note I forgot to mention something last chapter

STORY START~
-1 day before Ryohei's fight-
On the roof of Namimori there was a certain bloody haired teen reminiscing about his time in Namimori~
It's a nice day, the sun is shining, the clouds are fine, and my nutrition pills didn't go down the wrong way. It has been around a month since I arrived and I already found out things I didn't think would be true. I also managed to get myself in trouble a little. Still who would have guessed I would release Him, and even more so that He didn't kill anyone under his "orders."
-Flashback 2 days after arriving at Namimori-
"-Sigh- can't believe that I had to go through 2 pharmacies to find my prescription nutrition pills." A blood red with white tipped hair sighed out as he was walking down an alley-way back to his house. He had walked somewhere between 4-5 miles just to get to the first pharmacy and then another 3 to get to the one they directed him to. All in all it was going to be a long 7-8 mile walk home. His depressing thoughts where suddenly interrupted when he saw some girl in what looked like a green army uniform with a skirt and purple pineapple shaped hair style being shoved into a wall as she was holding what looked like random junk food. There were three tall guys behind him but none of them had any feature that particularly stood out.
"Hey, guys may I ask what you are doing to this young lady?"
"She stepped in our turf so we were going to ruff her up a little, or maybe a lot"
"Wouldn't that mean I would have to be ruffed up as well?"
After putting up a look of contemplation he suddenly smirked very sinisterly, and looked at his three "goons" as he nodded. Did you really have to do that? Hmmm. Well considering I have the morals between us I guess, yes, I did. Fine but if they start to fight I get to kill them. Um, I guess I could let you out on the line that you don't do anything permanent. Just remember to not do anything that could be traced back to me. BAH, you always ruin my fun, but whatever it's your rules.
Returning back to reality he realized he was surrounded. After quickly assessing the situation he decided to warn them just in case. "Ummm, not that your weak or anything, but if you attack me I might break some of your bones, just a warning." Of course all he got were laughs and the girl mouthing "why are you helping me?" like he was some crazy idiot. Well technically he was but he would never admit it. Just as they starting to move in suddenly the teen started to smile in such a way it made them all falter for a moment. During that time he looked up and they suddenly noticed that his eyes had changed. Instead of the warm, almost glowing red, it was now a sinister purple as darkness started to overtake his eye.
"Well since I warned you so nicely you all will have plenty of time to learn manners in the hospital."
After that He laughed maniacally as he proceeded to punch each of them so hard in the stomach they all passed out. As he walked up to the leader, laughing all the time, he kept taking steps back until he hit a dumpster. The next thing the guy saw was black.
"-phew- Well I guess you can take over Leo…Yeah, yeah gosh you could've been more peaceful with those punches, I think I see them coughing up blood."
During that entire exchange the girl seemed to just stare at him as if he was a miracle. She only snapped to reality after he walked up and started to pick up some of the groceries she had dropped down onto the floor after being shoved. When she suddenly jumped after he waved his hand in front of her face he immediately jumped back like she was going to lash out at him. After a couple of seconds he relaxed and the two suddenly found themselves staring very intently at the wall or floor.
"Um, I realize that was kind of strange but would you mind keeping that a secret?"
Receiving a small nod he decided to ask her something to make it less awkward. "My names Leonidas, What's yours?" After what seemed like her hesitating, she finally answered.
"Chrome…Dokuro."
-Flashback end-
Yeah, that was definitely weird; especially since I swear she wouldn't stop blushing while I was picking her groceries up… at least I think they were groceries. Still why did he mention something about "my rules" or whatever. I really need to get in touch with him. Then again there was that weird experience about a week ago, with that guy with the sword.
-Flashback to about a week ago-
Looking over his shoulder he suddenly heard sounds of battle, and since he was currently bored out of his mind, he decided to go and check out what was happening. Man, I wonder what's going on; I hope the Vongola aren't still after me. It is just a little peculiar to have bloody red hair with white tips. After walking for around 2 minutes I finally arrived to one of the weirdest scenes I could ever imagine. There was some weirdo with long white hair and wearing some kind of black uniform fighting off… um… I think his name was Yamamoto and Gokudera with Tsuna seemingly being under cover with some blond guy giving him what I believe to be the Vongola rings… which meant… awww crap, I think I might need to be a little more secretive. Oh well may as well make an entrance.
After walking up right up to where Tsuna and the blonde kid were, I sat down as quietly as possible and decided to scare them a little. "So, who are we hiding from?" At the sound of my voice suddenly the blonde kid decided to cut my head off, with his dagger…blade…triangle thingy. Unluckily for him his blade had flames charged into it, so that it would not kill me most likely, so when it hit me and the fire seemed to be sucked into my eye patch he was visibly surprised. "Um… so does that mean you're hiding from them, or are you just a jerk and decided to incapacitate me for the fun of it?" Instantly Tsuna seemed a little scared but the blond kid appeared to recognize me somehow and stood defensively while the white-haired guy suddenly noticed me. The blond kid and white haired guy just stared for a second before I decided to speak.
"Do you guys know me or something, because I swear neither of you are friends with me on facebook, and I definitely have never met either of you." Silence didn't follow very closely since the white haired guy decided to speak.
"You're that guy that's been on the run from my group for 5 years! How wouldn't I know you?" After that the blonde guy decided he wanted to put his 2 cents in.
"You're Leonidas; apparently you've enrolled in Namimori to assassinated Tsuna-dono according to our information." He said matter-of-factly.
I instantly gave a puzzled look and simply stated "I don't know who you people are, except No-Good Tsuna over there, and I certainly don't plan on killing anyone. I've been in a coma since I was 9, till around 2 months ago."
At my words Tsuna seemed a little confused but relieved that I wasn't going to kill him, but the other two were still on guard. Well now that I know that Tsuna is the Tenth I may be able to get information from him on my parents, and it seems that the blonde kid is a member of the Vongola. Just fan-fricking-tastic that I decided to get into this mess.
Blonde decided to speak up "But our information states that you've been staying distant from Tsuna-dono in school, which hints towards disliking him." At that the guy with white hair seemed to lose interest in Tsuna and talked "If you're here to kill him, that's fine but wait until after the Ring Conflict."
Looking even more puzzled I said "Um, the reason I stay distant from him is, he doesn't really have a good reputation, and I don't actively try to make friends. Still trying to figure some stuff out. As for the assassination suspicion, the only reason I know he is the Tenth is because I just saw you handing him the rings. Next is what is the ring conflict? If it's just some pointless tournament can I watch?" After hearing my explanation Basil seemed to lower his guard, and Tsuna seemed embarrassed by his reputation. However, the white haired guy smiled when he heard that I wanted to watch. "Seeing the smile I'm guessing your gonna let me watch right?" He nodded but just stayed there, which made basil raise his guard. "And you wanna fight me don't you?" once again he nodded. "In that case I will refer to my friend the smoke bomb." I pulled out my handy-dandy smoke bomb and threw it at the white haired guy. He expectedly cut it but the most surprising thing to him was the fact it had circuitry on the inside, everyone instantly turned to me and saw I had another smoke bomb that exploded. When the smoke was clear all they saw was a strange clear flame scorching the floor where I stood~
-Flashback End-
That was definitely a strange experience. And after that it seems like their all skipping school. Whatever their probably just training for that "Ring conflict" or whatever. Hmmm, I wonder if Tsuna has a HDWM, and if their gonna teach him about the Minus State. Well whatever, I remember getting a letter from someone that told me where and when the first fight was going to be, and it I think its tomorrow. I guess I'll just skip school then, after all I'm gonna want to get a lot of rest since I might be up all night.
Suddenly the bell that signals the end of lunch rings across the school and everyone goes in to continue class.
-The next day, at night, right after the match for the sun ring started-
Everyone was watching intently ready to start a fierce fight when suddenly they saw a beam of clear fire raining down right after the entrance to the school. Everyone stared intently as a figure in a black cloak dropped out off the sky, the beam appearing to come from a strange gun. After the figure somehow put the gun inside of a ring on his neck he removed the hood, revealing a slightly sweating Leonidas. Waiting for him to talk, when suddenly he decided to speak.
"Tell me I didn't miss the fight, please!" He cried out in an almost panicked voice.
After hearing that, almost everyone facepalmed or fell down.
-End-
Yeah a cliff hanger. I just wanted to state that the chapter itself is around 500 words longer then the last one, so I'll just keep trying to get 500 more words each chapter.
Now I've had an idea pop into my head when I was thinking off final fantasy XIII. Should I make Leonidas able to use a blade? As in create a blade of pure Minus/Sky Flames from his gun? He won't learn any styles or anything but he will have "Techniques" that may take me a while to think off. Also I was thinking of something else that I am sure will be included. Leonidas will use soft flames for Minus and Sky, But Shade will use hard flames. Also just as something for you guys to look forward to and speculate, Shade will be explained more and more as the series going on. But the purple eyes will not be something that will be and always. If Shade is in full control his eyes will be blue. Since he was following "rules" it was partially under Leonidas' control and therefore the eyes were purple. IF you want more back story then you're just gonna have to wait. I plan on updating at least once a month, because my teachers already gave me a couple of long term assignments. However if I do only update once a month it will be LONG. If I update multiple times, it will most likely be once a week and follow the +500 words rule. Hope you all are enjoying reading this as I'm enjoying writing this!
Don't Forget To Review :D
EDIT: Replys to reviews:
Belphegor's Aijin: Well in concept yes, he does have a X/I glove and one of Xanxus' gloves. The difference is that his gun will not be used as his primary source of flight, and neither will his glove, because he will be getting something… interesting in the future. Also he only has one of each, instead of 2, and his gun just looks like an orange Desert Eagle, cause I think Deagles are awesome. His glove also looks almost nothing like the X/I gloves, you could probably associate it better with a knights gauntlet, but with some longer nails so that it has slashing power. He won't be able to do the whole turning flames to ice, because it seems like only people with the Vongola Leaders can do it. I don't think he would have heard a method to do it, because he learns everything from rumors or when he was captured and could hear them talking.
Thanks for the complement, and the best part about having an OC in the storyline is that I can have him go off and do his own thing if I think I need to develop his character a bit more, especially with his lack of memory. There will be other OC's that are important to his past, and also a couple of character that already exist also will be involved with him. He will be doing things during the down time for other people, and I also plan on him going off on his own thing during the future arc. I might create a poll for his box weapon, because there aren't any Minus Flame boxes.
Well that's all for your post-update edit. All other review will be replied to next chapter.
