Reborn talked about the weather-related flames. The moon flame is one of the eighth flame of the flames that rise the water and hid the secrets in darkness.

Ryu Saito is the Moon flame user.

He turned to leave and heard Reborn telling him that he got a home tutor and waved his hand and spoke in Italian.

"Capito, Reborn!" Ryu shouted as he jumped out of the window leaving shell-shocked Reborn, Dino, and Colonnello behind.

Ryu jumped up into the tree branch in the Nami forest and sat down. He tugged his committee's armband that Kyoya Hibari had him joined along with the words that say 'The Property of Kyoya Hibari. Touch him and I'll bite you to death.' which left him blushing in the face.

He sighed as Keiki landed on his finger, smiling softly(often put on fake smile to people.) and went to sleep as Keiki landed again on his black, practically blended in.

While later, Ryu's eyes snapped open when he heard the whistling sound and leapt off the tree branch and Keiki startled, chirping frantically. He quickly take out his glaive and knocked out the kunai knives heading in his direction and landed on another branch.

Ryu glared at his home tutor who is member of the Vongola Famiglia dressed in white shirt, black suit jacket, black jeans with weapons holsters tied to his thigh and back of the belt, black and blue converses, and white bandana tied around his forehead. He also has bright orange hair, pale orange eyes, olive skin, and a scar ran over the left eye. On his left shoulder are the gray horned owl with fierce orange eyes named Arashi.

He look at Aki Ishida's soul closely and blinked his eyes. Ryu groaned out loud at meeting half-wolf youkai and half-tiger youkai.

Aki Ishida smirked at his student whom he knew is rather unique mixed breed of human, kitsune youkai, and angel. Ryu glared at him as his animal friends showed up and settled themselves on the ground and tree along with Keiki sitting on Senshi's head.

"So you are my student and Reborn tell me you specialized in bladed weapons suited for close, mid-range, and long-range combat." Aki said calmly.

Ryu smirked and took out his hairpin and begun to shake his hair and clothes to get the weapons. few cherry bombs, and grenades out of it.

His eyebrow lifted up in shock and slight fear at possibly pyromaniac on his hands. Ryu smirked in amusement as he took whiff of Aki's scent mingled with worry and fear.

Ryu sat down as Moonsong flew down to sit on his shoulders to sort out the smallest to large weapons in a neat pile.

Aki and Arashi blinked their eyes, not believing what they are seeing is the small pile of bladed weapons, bo staff, and few explosives.

Later, Aki had see Ryu put away his weapons back in his hair and explain to him how to fight with stealth and deception that is used by moon flame users.

Ryu took a deep breath and let out his silver-white flames and gathered around his glaive. He lunged toward Aki who is holding a pair of tiger hooks, his preferred weapons.

The sparks fled as the weapons clanged each other.

A shadow look to the white-haired boy and orange-haired teacher fighting each other to increase his speed for a battle.

"Well, it seem Ryu need to learn how to use stealth in battle." The shadow spoke and left.

Ryu stretched his body, releasing the soreness in the muscles. Red eyes observed his teacher who is sleeping off after the dinner of caught fishes and berries.

He look up to the half-moon, thanking every deity out there for creating temporary suppression spell for the creature blood only if someone want to suppress the creature blood temporarily for any number of reasons. For Ryu, it kept his angel/kitsune blood at bay for a while during the training. He doesn't want any of his friends or Arcobaleno to find out what he is yet.

Ryu sighed as he is thinking. He twitched as he heard screaming and booming sounds, not fazed by sounds. He fell asleep, surrounded by the animals for warmth.


Ryu cursed up the storm in Arabic which Basil and Reborn heard. Reborn's familiarity with Ryu's tendency to curse whatever he get upset or pissed off and shrugged off as he focused on Tsuna's training.

He glared at Aki, who is smirking as he is throwing endless kunai knives to improve his speed and accuracy. He quickly grabbed few of the knives and threw it back to his teacher who dodged as the knives whistled over his head.

Aki grinned happily as he is teaching his student few of his moves that his old sensei taught him long time ago due to his mixed heritage.

They took a break and Ryu went to sleep to replenish his energy.

Ryu woke up suddenly when he felt the Varia arriving in Namimori. He felt one of the Varia's member with Lightning-based flame target Lambo.

Aki followed Ryu who is quickly running where he felt it and saw few of the Varia underlings targeting Fuuta, I-pin, and Lambo.

Ryu quickly to jumped into the air and used his legs to kick one of the underlings away. He landed on the street as the dynamite hit the other two.

He noticed Reborn and Tsuna are here along with Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Ryohei.
