Future of the Sky
The Start Of An Adventure
All that Ieyatsu could think of as he was getting ready was how crazy this fedora wearing man was. Grumpily the brunette haired young man grabbed his shirt off his bed and slipped it on over his head. Why was their mother even agreeing to this? He could tell clear as the sky that she didn't want them to leave. They were all she had, and now they were leaving on some trip with this maniac that would make them great leaders?
Stalking out of his bedroom he walked into the bathroom and grabbed the hairbrush. Ieyatsu kept his hair semi-long, never allowing it to grow past his shoulder blades in the back while keeping his bangs cut short in the front, and always tied it back. He was pleased it was straight like his mother's, and not wild and untamable like their fathers, even if it was the same dark brown color.
Sighing Ieyatsu tied it back, and then leaned on the sink. He had asked his mother for the full story before he went to bed the previous night. Mafia boss training? Ridiculous! Besides, the both of them didn't need to go! A crime syndicate only needed one person in charge, and giving orders. He just couldn't believe this was happening.
No, that wasn't true. Once he pieced the pieces together last night he felt he should have seen something like this coming. Even though the young man was sure he still didn't have the whole story.
"Ah, Tsu-chan." Ieyatsu jumped at the sound of his sister's voice. He turned and blinked at her. It looked like his older sister had just woken up. Her short light brown hair was tousled, and sticking up in ways that seemed to defy gravity a little just like their father's used to. Her face still held some traces of sleep, like the red spot where she most likely had her had previously pressed against her face. The biggest give away was the fact that she was still in her pajamas, which were a size too big, and thus the top was skewed revealing one shoulder.
"Ehm?" He asked when he realized he was just staring blankly at his sister's face even though she had asked him something.
"I asked if you could get out. I need a shower..." Amami repeated pouting. Though she was the older sibling Ieyatsu sometimes thought she acted like a younger one.
Ieyatsu blinked, and smiled at his big sister, "Sure Nee-chan." He said leaving the bathroom so she could use it. "Do you have everything packed?" He asked through the now closed door. Their mother had given them each a bag and asked them to pack it full for their travels with Reborn, which was another thing that Ieyatsu was not looking forward to.
"Mmhm, I got it done last night." He faintly hears Amami reply.
Ieyatsu sighed and leaned his back on the door. "Nee-chan, are you sure about this?" He asked.
There was no answer for a moment, and Ieyatsu wondered if his sister had heard him, then she finally answered. "No, but mom seems to think it's important. She trusts Reborn-san..." Ieyatsu frowned and leaned his head back on the door in time to hear Amami mutter something along the lines of "Trigger happy jerk..." Which made him smile.
That was it though for both of them, because their mother seemed to find this important they would do it. The siblings didn't want this, they didn't want to leave, but they would do it because their mother asked it of them. Even if she obviously didn't want them to go either.
"Alright, I'll see you down stairs Nee-chan." He said standing up away form the door and walking into his room. There he grabbed the backpack his mother had told him to pack into, which was surprisingly large in his opinion. Stopping by his sister's room he grabbed her as well before going down stairs. He left the two backpacks by the door and then walked into the kitchen.
Going over to his mother he kissed her cheek, "Morning mamma." He greeted as she turned and smiled at him.
"Good morning, your breakfast is on the table." Kyoko replied.
Ieyatsu nodded, still smiling. He turned to the table, and as he made to sit down he froze. "M-Mamma, I though you said breakfast was on the table..." He said slowly as he looked over to his mother.
"Ah? I know I had put it there..." Kyoko said thoughtfully.
Light brown eyes slid over to where Reborn was sitting. Something told Ieyatsu that the man was the cause of his missing breakfast. It could have been the smug look on his face, or the fact that his plate was suspiciously full... Ieyatsu glared at him before taking a deep breath and standing up straight as his mother said something about making him more. He wouldn't make a fuss over this; he refused to let Reborn have that satisfaction.
"Nnhm, I've got it." He said pulling down a bowl, and a box of cereal. Ieyatsu thought a moment and pulled another bowl out for his sister.
A few minuets later Amami walked into the kitchen and dressed and ready to go. "Foooooood!" She half groaned as she hugged Ieyatsu from behind smiling and reaching for his spoon.
"Ehhhh? Get your own Nee-chan!" Ieyatsu exclaimed moving his cereal out of the way.
"Fooood!" Amami exclaimed with a pout as she reached again. She was obviously trying not to laugh.
"Nee-chaaaannnn!" Ieyatsu whined trying to save his breakfast.
"Ami-chan please leave your brother alone." Kyoko said with a smile as she shook her spoon scoldingly at the young woman.
Amami pouted at her mother, "Yes mamma." She said getting off her brother and moving to sit next to him. Grabbing the near by box of cereal she poured some into her own bowl, before she twisted and stretched to get into the fridge for some milk. Sadly for her she was a couple inches too short.
Ieyatsu absently stuck a foot out and knocked her over flat onto her face. "Mou, Tsu-chan!" Amami exclaimed siting up, making her and her brother pause a moment.
Reborn saw their caramel, and chocolate eyes flick over to their mother, who was expertly ignoring them, before Amami quickly grabbed the milk, poured it, and stuck it back into the fridge as Ieyatsu pulled her chair back upright. The movements were so sudden, and the change in them so drastic, that they made Reborn blink as both teens now eat their breakfast as if it were the most important, and interesting thing in the world. After a moment it clicked in his head.
"Don't tell me Dame-Tsuna is a taboo subject." Reborn drawled waving his fork in the air lazily.
He smirked at the dark looks he got from the teens, who quickly went back to their breakfast as Kyoko came over with her own food, "Of course not Reborn-kun. Why would you think that?" She asked as she sat down. It was hard to tell if the woman was honestly oblivious to her children's behavior just a moment ago, or if she was ignoring it on purpose.
The hit man pulled an innocent look for the mother, "Oh no reason." He said his voice sticky sweet. A tone he used on Tsuna himself all the time to make the boss cringe, and be nervous. It seemed to work on the siblings, who exchanged a wary glance, though Kyoko remained oblivious to it.
Once breakfast was over, and it's mess cleaned up it was time for Ieyatsu and Amami to leave. As a last gift Kyoko handed both of her children a small jewelry box. Both were about the size of the case that the Vongola rings were stored in. They were both black, and had what seemed to be gold trimming the only way to tell them apart was by the designs on the top. Ieyatsu's had a moon and stars, Amami's seemed to have flowers and flower petals.
"Now don't open it until you've left town, but inside those are some very important gifts from your father and I." Kyoko said as Amami and Ieyatsu looked down at the boxes surprised to hear they were from their father as well. Small fond smiles settled on the faces of the two after a moment.
"Yes mamma." They replied in a soft unison.
Giving one last hug and kiss to each teen Kyoko smiled at them. She watched as they put their backpacks on, after tucking the cases carefully into them, and then their shoes.
"We'll be going now mamma." Ieyatsu said with an easy smile from the door.
"Stay safe." Kyoko replied.
"We'll be back before you know it." Amami said with a confident nod.
Kyoko blinked and smiled at them, "I'll be waiting then." She said finding it hard not to cry.
The woman walked to the door as her children went to the gate where reborn was waiting. Amami and Ieyatsu both turned back to wave at her once more time, and Kyoko waved back at them, even when she couldn't see them any longer.
"Have a safe trip..." She whispered as a few tears finally fell down her face.
If only Tsuna could see them now...
A/N :: And so the journey begins~ And what did Tsuna leave for the kids in those boxes? Why won't Ieyatsu and Amami talk about their father? Will Reborn be able to handle not one, but two Sawada children? Will I ever stop asking stupid questions?
Haha, anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter. And WOW guys! If I had known all I had to do to get a story read by so many people in one day was to write a serious next gen fan fiction I would have done it sooner... Maybe. XD Hopefully soon you'll have things to review about. They really make me want to write more, even if it's just a "good luck" or "Keep going, I like this." So more reviews = more chapters sooner. I have some of the chapters already written, and waiting to be uploaded.
Please review with your dying will! Flames will, as always, be used to roast marshmallows with Byakuran.
