Future Of The Sky

Unexpected Revelations

Fifteen year old Ieyatsu Sawada is a strong boy, more so mentally then physically. He loves his mother and sister to death, and respects his mother greatly. He always does his homework and turns it in on time, he is friendly, and polite, and likes to help people whenever he could. He has faced a lot of hard times, like when he lost his father seven years ago, or when he, his mother, and older sister moved around a lot for some reason unknown to him. There was also the time when the three of them ended up in a car accident that they just barely survived. Despite all this he tries to remain positive, and be helpful to his single mother.

His mother says that Ieyatsu has his father's smile.

Seventeen year old Amami Sawada is a very smart girl, or so she is told. She is intuitive, and a hard worker. Everything she does she gives one hundred percent. She is charming, friendly, and good with people. She loves her mother and younger brother more than anything. She makes friends quickly, and easily, but her family always comes first. She's also been through some hard times starting when her father died seven years ago. She cries easily, but she won't show it in front of others.

Her mother says that Amami has her father's eyes.

When Amami and Ieyatsu arrived at home they had not been expecting a guest. Placing their bags on a chair they walked over to their mother, sending wary glances at the guest. Since their father died guests were rarely good things, particularly guests dressed up like he was.

Seeing how at ease their mother was made them feel a little better, but they were still wary even though they felt that they should know this person in their living room. From the way he sat sipping his drink, to the little green lizard that seemed to be napping on his hat, everything about their guest struck a chord in the sibling's memory.

"We're back mom." Ieyatsu said before kissing her cheek.

"Mmhm! Welcome back." Kyoko replied.

"Who's our guest?" Amami asked looking at Reborn still.

"Hmm? You don't remember Reborn-kun?" Kyoko asked with a blink and tilt of her head.

The two brunette teens shook their heads, they didn't really though the name sounded familiar to them. Both Sawada siblings felt that they should know this Reborn man, they just didn't know why. Kyoko frowned for a moment before she gave her normal smile, "Well, this is Reborn-kun. He's a very good friend of Papa and I." She said.

Both teens blinked and gave a startled look to the fedora wearing man, who smirked and nodded to them. A friend of their father's? That certainly explained why they felt they should know him though it has been seven years since they lost their father, and about that long since either brother or sister had seen any of their father's friends.

So what was this one, this Reborn, doing in their house now?

"Well, since you two are home now I'll finish dinner!" Kyoko said standing up since that matter was settled.

"Ah, I'll help." Both Ieyatsu and Amami said at the same time moving to fallow their mother into the kitchen, and not seeming to care that they had a guest for a moment.

"Nnhm, there's no need dears." Kyoko said as her children fallowed her anyways like ducklings.

Amami and Ieyatsu stopped in the doorway, caramel brown and chocolate brown eyes going wide seeing how much food was there. "There's so much!" Ieyatsu exclaimed.

"And they're all our favorites..." Amami said softly as she moved into the table. Her eyes scanned the table before she looked at her mother back. "What's the occasion?" She asked bluntly.

Kyoko just hummed and smiled brightly at Amami for a moment before she turned back to the last thing that needed to be made. The brother and sister pair exchanged a confused look before Amami looked back at Reborn briefly. The man was sitting where they had left him, calmly sipping his drink as he watched the family of three.

Amami didn't like where she felt this was going. Her father's friend showing up after so many years, the feast their mother was cooking. What ever was going to happen would take place during dinner she figured, and the older sibling could already tell she wasn't going to like it.

Dinner wasn't ever a particularly loud affair any more; it was nowhere near what Amami remembered from when they were little kids though part of that was because there weren't as many people as she remembered from when she was a kid. However it seemed that this mealtime in particular was more quiet then normal. Kyoko asked her children how their day at school was, and they would reply and then Amami would ask how Kyoko's day was. The atmosphere was comfortable, but the calmness made Reborn a little edgy. Not that he would let any of the three in the room with him know.

"Ami-chan, Ieyatsu-kun, do you remember the stories that Chrome would tell you and the others when you were little?" Kyoko asked finally. Reborn watched Amami and Ieyatsu blink at each other as they tried to remember.

"The ones about the sky princes?" Ieyatsu finally asked. "With the white dragon, and the earth royalty?"

"The one where dad and the others were the main characters... Right?" Amami said slowly.

Kyoko nodded, "And do you remember when you though that Papa was a super hero?" Both Amami and Ieyatsu blushed a smarting shade of pink at that comment, and flustered.

"I-I was just a little kid then!" Ieyatsu exclaimed embarrassed.

"You c-can't really h-hold that against us mom! Dad wore a cape after all, and we were young!" Amami defended.

Kyoko laughed at her children, "Nnhm, Papa was a super hero though. He and the others saved the world lots, and lots of times." Kyoko said with a distant look in her eyes as she smiled.

"Mmhm..." The two teens said looking at their food as if it was the most interesting thing on the planet.

"The stories then?" Amami asked.

Kyoko blinked, coming back to reality again the mother laughed sheepishly, "Those were real too.

Reborn recognized the thoughtful look on the two teen's faces, and counted down. 3 ... 2 ... 1.

"Wait then dad was a prince?" Ieyatsu blurted out right on Reborn's mental cue.

Reborn twitched just slightly. This boy sure was gullible...

Kyoko giggled at her son as Amami made a face at him. "He wasn't a prince dummy." Amami informed her younger brother.

Ieyatsu smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head as he laughed nervously, "R-Right, I totally knew that."

"He was a mafia boss." Kyoko said bluntly.

Reborn nearly started laughing as the two teens nearly fell back out of their chairs. "Dad was a WAHT?" They exclaimed as Kyoko smiled mindlessly at them.

"A mafia boss. Reborn-kun was his tutor when we were your age. Nee, Reborn-kun?" She said as if this was completely normal.

Because to her it was.

Reborn nodded, smirking under the shadow of his fedora as Amami and Ieyatsu turned to look at him with wide brown eyes. "It's rude to stare." Reborn said mildly as he continued to eat. Kyoko was no Nana in the kitchen, but she was about as close as it got these days.

"Why're you just telling us this now?" Amami exclaimed turning to look at her mother. Reborn caught the same glimpse of panic in her dark brown eyes that had once been in Tsuna's when Reborn first came into his life.

"Then... That's why we've had to move so much?" Ieyatsu asked with a confused blink. The younger brother had a much better time of hiding his fear then his sister did, but Reborn could still see it. It was in the way his hand curled around his chopsticks tighter, and how often his eyes moved to meet the faces of everyone in the room.

"That's right Ieyatsu-kun, and because Papa didn't want you to know while you guys were still little Ami-chan." Kyoko said to both her children.

Ieyasu frowned down at his plate obviously not wanting to question his mother, but not liking the answers he got either. Amami's thoughts flew over her face, and through her eyes, even clearer then Tsuna's used to. These two were so different, and yet at the same time so much like their father had been.

"We're only telling you now because it's time one of you've stepped up to the plate." Reborn added, absently twirling the Vongola Sky Ring he had pulled from his pocket around the tip of one of his fingers.

The three looked at him with wide eyes, Ieyatau and Amami's eyes being the widest, as they recognized the ring for what it was even though now it looked so different then it had when Tsuna wore it.

"That's dad's ring..."

"Give it back!"

Dark eyes slid over to Amami who was standing on her feet, her chair had tipped over behind her from how fast she had stood. She was shaking, from what Reborn couldn't tell. He stopped twirling the ring around his fingertip, holding it between two fingers to look at it instead. She was too emotional, being too impulsive, and far too easy to read. Amami would have a hard time making it in the mafia.

Though people said Tsuna would never make it, and he had been Reborn's best student.

"Give it back?" He repeated, a smirk sliding across his face. "It's not even yours." He said.

Amami lunged at him, intent on getting the ring. "It's not yours either!" He moved so she fell flat onto her face on the ground.

"Oi!" Ieyatsu exclaimed starting to rise, only to be tugged back down by his mother. As Reborn moved to avoid another attempt to grab the sky ring he looked over at the younger brother, his smirk growing when he saw the boy's eyes. He was angry yes, but there was also a desire to protect his impulsive older sister there.

Amami froze mid-step before the third lunge at Reborn, her eyes widening in fear once more as she saw Leon transform from a lizard to a gun pointed at her head. "This doesn't belong to Dame-Tsuna any more either." He said pocketing the ring that was in his free hand. "But if you want it so badly, you'll have to become the next Vongola boss." Reborn informed the girl, whose eyes widened another inch.

Amami had his eyes all right, and Reborn was sure those wide honest eyes were going to drive him right up a wall.

His gun fallowed her as Amami went from standing to sitting on the floor where as she looked up at him she had a clear view of his face. "Do you understand Sawada?" Reborn asked her coolly.

The girl nodded slightly and Leon returned to lizard. "Good, we leave in the morning." He said replacing the lizard onto his hat. He covered a yawn as he turned away from the stunned older sister, to the nervous mother, and angry younger brother. "Kyoko, I'm going to bed; they should too." He said walking out of the room from.

Kyoko sighed and let go of Ieyatsu finally, allowing the young man to help up his older sister. "Mom," Kyoko looked up at her two children. "Who the hell is that?" Ieyatsu asked tightly as he stood next to Amami protectively.

Kyoko smiled a little tiredly, "That's your new tutor, Reborn." She said standing up and walking over to child children. She kissed them each on the forehead, "He will make you both great leaders."

A/N :: And there's the first real chapter of this story~ Please forgive me if my Reborn is out of character, this is only my second time seriously writing for him, and he's got a character type that I can't always connect with. As for Reborn, before you all ask, yes he's full size. No the curse isn't broken, but I'll get more into that in a different chapter so please please don't ask about that yet. It'll end up being a spoiler for you. Anyways, I'm going to try to update this regularly. I'm aiming for every other, or every third week, but we'll see how that goes.

Don't worry I haven't given up on Crests of the Sky, I'm just having a bit of a hard time figuring out what to do next. I promise though I'll get another chapter up as soon as I can for that.

Please review with your dying will! Flames will, as always, be used to roast marshmallows with Byakuran.
