Not More Toddlers: The Bodyguard
When Annabel observed her surroundings, her first thought was that Densetsu was somehow at fault of her new location. It had been complaining that while there was danger that there wasn't anything… chaotic going on. Apparently an organized fighting tournament was too tame for the overgrown lizard! "At least this time I'm not going in totally blind." She grumbles as she walked the streets, trusting her instincts to lead her to the closest reiki. Maybe she'd get lucky and find another spiritual medium in this world that would take her in. So you just ignore my pleas to take me and Miranda back home but you'll drag me into another world when you're bored?! Annabel mentally screamed, all she received from Densetsu was a snore in reply. She wasn't even aware that spiritual entities needed to sleep.
Her intuition led her to what looked like a middle school, a sign proudly declaring it as Namimori Middle. Well, looks normal enough. Annabel thought as she heard the sound of an explosion off in the distance. "Maybe I was too quick to draw that conclusion." She comments, running off in the direction of the sound. What she wasn't expecting to see was a wannabe terrorist trying to blow up a kid in his boxers, radiating strong reiki. "It's official, this place is weirder than the last town." She states, wondering why no one was even acknowledging that there was a fight going on.
"Oh? Care to share?" A squeaky voice asks as she heard the sound of a pistol having its safety taken off. She turned to see where the sound was coming from, when she didn't see anything at eye level she looked down. The source was a toddler dressed in a sharp suit with a fedora, pointing a green gun up at her. Alarm bells were ringing in her head, this human was dangerous. Curiously enough it wore a pacifier that seemed to be slowly absorbing his life energy. "Nope, I know enough about the supernatural not to get involved." Annabel states, getting ready to run away as fast as she could. When Reborn just pulled out an AK47 in response she groaned, she was fast but not quick enough to dodge a spray of bullets all at once. "Oh come on! At least Koenma didn't pull a gun on me!" Annabel says irritably, only to face palm. That was not the response of a normal person!
Reborn observed the woman, she seemed to have a mixture of Cloud and Lightning flames. She looked unassuming but her response proved that she wasn't a stranger to violence. He was curious to know who this Koenma person was, a Vendicare perhaps? "I didn't expect to find any flame actives in this town. Interesting." The woman blinked in confusion. "Pardon? I don't use flames, that would be my friend Miranda and Hiei's specialty." She states. Onyx eyes bore into hers, not detecting any deceit. Perhaps she subconsciously used them like that Sasagawa boy he observed? She ran a hand through her hair, obviously frustrated by something. "Honestly, I'd like one day where my life isn't being threatened!" She complains.
When Tsuna had gone out of dying will mode he was surprised to see Gokudera bowing submissively and Reborn standing on the shoulder of a girl. From the stiffness of her movement she must have realized that sadistic baby was dangerous. At least one of the girls in town was sane! "Good job Tsuna, you've gotten your first subordinate and bodyguard." Reborn says, Tsuna blinked. "Bodyguard?" He asks, baffled. The girl sighed. "I don't have anywhere to go so he offered me a place to stay in return for watching over you. Kami knows this guy would probably let you go through hell and back as long as there wasn't any permanent damage." Annabel says bluntly as Reborn hit her in the head with a Leon hammer, she cursed in what sounded like a very harsh language. "You also speak German, good to know." Reborn says, leaving his perch to stand atop Tsuna's fluffy hair.
Tsuna, the boy in his underwear, was actually a nice kid. Heck, she'd call him adorkable. The silver haired kid, Gokudera, just glared at her suspiciously. Believe me kid, I was not entirely willing to be employed by a toddler. Annabel thought as a flustered Tsuna was trying to find something to cover himself, Annabel couldn't help the laugh that escaped. "Don't worry about it Tsuna, you can borrow my trench coat. It should cover most of you." She says, shrugging it off. Underneath she wore a sleeveless black shirt and loose black pants. Around her neck was a choker with a gleaming red gem, a scar caused by claws near her collar bone as well as burn marks. She saw Tsuna's concerned look and gave him a reassuring smile. "I learned to be more aware of my surroundings after that one. My masters almost let me bleed out but decided to keep me around longer for entertainment." She states, making the teens shiver. Reborn's expression darkened, it explained why her first response to a gun was mild annoyance.
"I suppose some introductions should be made, eh? I'm Annabel Faust and originally from America. I've only been Japan for about half a year." She says sheepishly. Tsuna bowed respectfully. "Tsunayoshi Sawada, nice to meet you Faust-san." Annabel sighed. "That's so formal, just call me Anna. So who's the grumpy puppy?" Gokudera bristled and took out his dynamite, Annabel just laughed. She let a sliver of her power out, watching the kid yelp as the dynamite was frozen solid. "Wouldn't want you causing any more property damage. Name please?" She asks with a sweet smile. "Hayato 'Smoking Bomb' Gokudera. Of course I'm Reborn, the number one hitman. Welcome to the Vongola family." Reborn says as the information started sinking in. "Wait, so you're telling me I just signed up to be a criminal?!" Annabel exclaims, mentally cursing Densetsu in her head.
