Kissanpennun: Welcome to Kissing Cloud; a Hibari x Oc fan fic. I'm Kiss-san, and thank you for coming back for another installment. :3 Now I get back to chapter three of the originals when Aina meets Varia and gains an interesting power. What power? An untapped one that's in her blood that wakes up when Varia attacks. It'll be explained in the chapter, no worries. I was gonna put a little pillow fluff in there. By fluff, I mean a little scene with Hibari that's sweet and endearing. However, I may just save it for another chapter when it'll have more spotlight time than being just a blip in this chapter. So, let's get onto it shall we? Please enjoy Chapter 4: Awakening power and Varia.
Disclaimer: I don't own KHR; however, I do own my Ocs.
Chapter 4: Awakening power and Varia
Only a few days passed, and Aina finds herself stopping by Tsuna's more often than usual. Well, she would if it wasn't that Tsuna normally ask if she wants to come over to help him with homework (normally sparing him from Reborn's methods sometimes) or coming to watch over the three children that live with him. Fuuta, I-pin, and Lambo were a handful; nevertheless, she enjoys her time with them. Tsuna's mom was out shopping with Bianchi, which meant she was sitting downstairs with them while Reborn was doing something with Tsuna at the moment. Aina hadn't seen Hibari in a while; in fact, she's hasn't called him since that man picked up telling her that Hibari is too busy training with Dino. Whoever that was.
"Aina-ne, do you want to know your ranking," Fuuta asked innocently. Aina was currently playing a videogame with Lambo, who was currently winning at the moment since she's never played it before. Fuuta looked like he really wanted to do a ranking on her. No harm, no foul I suppose, she thought. "Uh, sure why not," Aina said. She really didn't see any harm in this ranking; although, she probably shouldn't have asked. Just as Fuuta began his ranking, Tsuna and Reborn came back. "Tadaima," Tsuna said in an exhausted tone. "Okaerinasai," Aina said, looking over at him from over her shoulder. "Ah, Aina-san. They're still out?" Tsuna sat down next to Lambo to see what they were playing. Considering this was a weekend, Aina wasn't too worried about homework.
"Un," replied Aina trying to beat Lambo in the level they were in.
Reborn hopped onto the kitchen table, glancing over at Fuuta. "Fuuta, what are you ranking?" Reborn inquired, wondering what he was ranking this time. "Aina-ne's rank in the family," Fuuta said as things started to float about him. Tsuna looked up at Fuuta shocked he even said that. "What are you talking about? She's not part of the family," Tsuna exclaimed. Aina glanced up, wondering what was up with him. Of course that glance cost her losing to Lambo. He started laughing how he beat her, and she just tickled him silly. If she was paying more attention she would have won.
"Aina-ne ranking is… second to Tsuna-ni's when it comes to not turning anyone down. When it comes to mafia," Fuuta said, catching Aina's attention. This was probably the second time she heard them talk about mafia around her. "Aina-ne is pretty high ranked for being one of the most dangerous assassins to face in combat. She also ranks really high for being just as sweet and kind." Fuuta finished his reading, all the objects floating around him falling landing down. He opens his book and starts writing down what he just said. Of course his words stunned the two teenagers in the room.
Aina shook her head, baffled by the information. Nice to know she ranks high on the "sweet and kind" and the "never turn anyone down" rankings. But that "most dangerous assassin to face in combat" rattled her. "Hmm." Aina glanced over at Reborn whom seemed to be thinking at the very moment. "Aina-san, Aina-san," Lambo said, tugging on her shirt. "Lambo-san wants go get popsicles." Aina blinked, his words bringing her back to the here and now. "Sure. Fuuta, you want to come?" Aina asked, looking at the blonde as he finished writing down his rankings.
"Ok Aina-ne," Fuuta happily said, running off to grab his coat. Aina stood up, stretching gingerly, glad she wore jeans today. Aina was a wee bit of a tom boy when she was younger, and she still is sometimes. But as she grew up, she liked the aspect of all the girly things. Like when she sees her nana's dances; so elegant and very feminine. "Tsuna, we're heading to the convenience store to get something," Aina said. Tsuna nodded, still trying to wrap his mind around how it was possible Aina was even part of the Vongola family. Did Reborn just assume she was part of the family? Or did he do some weird entrance thing like what he did with Yamamoto.
She grabbed her coat, making sure that she had her wallet to buy Lambo and Fuuta something. I-pin joined them as well, wanting treats as well. They all stepped out, heading towards the convenience store. Yamamoto and Gokudera came in after they were gone, not even seeing which they went. "Reborn," Tsuna yelled, "how is Aina part of the family? You didn't make her do something strange did you?" Gokudera almost swallowed his own tongue before he could greet the tenth. "Eh? Aina's part of the mafia games too?" Yamamoto asked, getting a shock and un-amused look from Tsuna.
Reborn gave Tsuna a pouty look. "You ask why when you just heard Fuuta rank her. She's pretty high on the most dangerous assassin in combat, which means she's an asset to the family." The baby hitman's words shocked Gokudera, who ran over to him. "You're kidding, right," Gokudera asked desperately. To Gokudera, if it was true, she may be replacing him as right hand man. Well, she'd the tenth's right hand woman. That didn't even sound right in his mind!
Reborn looked at Gokudera his face like how it is normally. "Nope, Aina is the newest asset to the family." Gokudera sat down, his hopes deflated and he was now a bit depressed. "Oh, weren't we here to look for Lambo," Yamamoto asked. Tsuna jumped onto his feet, completely forgetting about Lambo's ring. He was right in front of him, and he forgot to check if the little baby hitman actually had one of the rings on him. "Oh no! Aina and them went to the convenience store," yelled Tsuna. Gokudera shot up, knowing well enough that if they didn't find that the cow first…
Varia will.
Meaning Aina was in great danger since she was with Lambo, and all of them knew she wasn't a fighter. These were trained assassins; they could kill a girl like Aina. The boys ran out of the house in hopes to find Aina and the kids. Hopefully they weren't too late.
_~With Aina~_
They had just returned from the convenience store, a bag in hand while they detoured near the park so the three kids could play. Aina kept a watchful eye on them, a chocolate pocky stick sticking out of her mouth as watched them from a swing for a while. For a moment she felt like there were eyes on them, which scared her. Shaking off the idea something terrible was going to happen, Aina gathered them back up and said they better head home to surprise kaasan and Bianchi when they returned. As they walked back, however, it appears as if her fears were right. A few men in black coats started coming out an attacking them. "Run," Aina said picking up Lambo and grabbed Fuuta's hand. I-pin kept the attackers at bay while she ran as fast as she could to get the two out of danger.
"Aina-ne," Fuuta said in a scared voice. Aina turned around and tried to calm him down, not really certain what to do. Lambo had attached himself to Aina's side, far too scared of letting go. "Shhh, it's ok. I'm sure Tsuna-san and everyone is gonna come soon," Aina cooed. Fuuta looked up at her and hugged her abdomen; she could tell he was badly shaken up by the whole matter. Whatever he thought about when he ranked her must be wrong; Aina didn't even fight the attackers. "Fuuta! Lambo! Aina-san," exclaimed Tsuna as he ran towards the group with Gokudera and Yamamoto. "Tsuna-ni," Fuuta said in relief. I-pin had came back to their side, a little battered but ok.
Gokudera detached Lambo off Aina, scowling at the little boy dressed in a cow suit. "This brat is a guardian?" Aina didn't really understand what a guardian Gokudera was inquiring about, but that meant those assassins were after that ring in Lambo's hair. Ryohei-sempai showed up after taking out an assassin, calling himself the sun guardian and Colonnello's greatest student. Aina glanced around, the rest in the back before the rustling in front of her made her move in front of them. A similar assassin jumped, his lance electrified and aiming at Lambo. "Aina-san move," yelled Gokudera.
I won't let them hurt Lambo, Aina thought. But what could she do? She wasn't like Tsuna or the others. What could she do? She was scared, but something deep in her seemed to lift its head. Blast him away, blow him asunder; don't fear him, and knock him out. He crossed the line within your territory; he deserves to have a taste of your claws. Aina didn't know where this little inner voice came from, but she could feel something very familiar about it. Like it's been with her all her life; waiting just the right time to bloom.
Aina lifted her hand, a soft orange glow started to grow quickly before something shot out of her hand forcing her back. She fell on her ass, but her shot hit her target. The assassin was sent back, blasted into the wall and knocked unconscious. On the wall, it looked like a paw print of something was smashed there along with the outline of the assassin. "Aina-ne," Fuuta whispered stunned. His ranking wasn't wrong! Aina could use the same color flames as Tsuna, and she used her flames in what looked like a claw like attack too! "Wait, Aina-san has dying will flames too?" Gokudera asked surprised by the whole thing, even the tenth was too shock for words. Aina just numbly was staring at the man she just blasted. Where did that come from? She had so many questions and so little answers.
Her hand hurt a little, but that was mostly because she used that one hand to make the fall less painful for her butt. She got up, and that's when more men in black trench coats appeared. The first one appeared to be just only after Lambo; however, more seemed to follow. One of them had long silver hair, and he looked extremely pissed. "VOOOOIIIII, which one of you little shits have the rain ring," he yelled. He glared over the teens as Yamamoto answer that he was the one holding it. "Just three seconds and I'll slice you up." Aina got up stepping in between the two. "Yamamoto, don't," Aina said. Yamamoto glanced over at Aina; he really did want to fight that guy. But seemingly she was worried about the fight going on in the middle of the street.
Bad enough they beat the crap out of three assassins, didn't need a blood bath going on. "I never thought I'd see him around again," Reborn said as another man stepped forward. "Xanxus." This man had red feathers in his dark hair and there something that resembled a raccoon tail near the collar of his jacket, completely stood out. He was the most intimidating out of the rest. She couldn't even say that him and Hibari had the same sort of intimidation. All she knew was that those red eyes of his seared her, scaring her in the spot she sat in. The scaring on his face, the pure animosity in his eyes as he lifted his hand up. "Tsunayoshi Sawada," he said, his group behind him trying to convince him to not attack. "Die-"
However, his attack was stopped by a pickaxe, thrown by none other than Tsuna's father, Iemitsu Sawada. "That's enough Xanxus, now I'm taking things in charge." Aina let out a breath as the talking went on, Gokudera finding out that Iemitsu was Tsuna's father along with the fact he was an external advisor. Aina listened in as it was read and explained that those bearing the same ring will fight one-on-one to decide who will be the next Vongola heir. Aina glanced over at the others, knowing that the few that were there held rings. This included Lambo, who was just a child. Aina stood up, and was going to ask a question before two women with pink hair and dark skin jump in. They also explained that they, the Cervellos, will serve as judges as ordered from the ninth.
Aina swallowed, watching them jump away only to have Xanxus glare at Tsuna. "Fun," the blonde said, making a weird laughing sound as he looked over the group. She balled up her fist, not appreciating the whole fact this was going on. "Aina-ne," Fuuta said grabbing her hand. Aina looked down, smiling softly. "Don't worry, I won't let those scary people hurt Lambo." Aina cooed, hoping to soothe the boy's worries. "That brat is mine," the spiky haired man yelled. He knew who she meant, and Aina cast a glare over at him.
Aina lifted a balled up hand, opening it up and it turned into a sphere of flames sucking in whatever it was around it. Xanxus stared down at it, knowing that somehow this girl was able to mimic his attack with one glance. It wasn't a perfect replica, but it was enough to surprise the assassin leader. Reborn behind her smirked, knowing just why Aina was dangerous in battle. One single glance at whatever attack her opponent used against her may become a weapon of her owns. This might mean she can convert other attacks into something for her own usage. Aina closed her hand, snuffing the flames immediately. "Touch Lambo and I'll blast you like I did to that guy below you." Aina said flatly, causing Tsuna to look over at her. How she was able to show little fear in front of these guys was beyond him.
The spiky haired man flinched, looking down at his lackey that she blasted earlier. He assumed it was one of Tsuna's guardians that did that; not some girl who looked like a damsel in distress. "Tch," was all that Xanxus said before leaving. He couldn't care less about her; she wasn't anything that will make him boss of Vongola. Reborn asked Aina to stay over at Tsuna's for tonight, he wanted to discuss something very important with her. Little did she know that the baby hitman planned to make her the best arsenal weapon that Tsuna had. Even if she wasn't one of his guardians, that didn't mean she couldn't be his shadow. And Tsuna might need every little bit of help he can get.

Kissanpennun: And that is the end of Chapter 4. I'll pick up the discussion that Aina has with everyone else in the next chapter which will hold that same pillow fluff moment I mentioned earlier. Since Aina hasn't quite seen Hibari since then, I'll make him see her damn it. :/ Not fair that she hasn't seen him just because he wants to bite Dino so badly. That boy got to see his pillow every now and again. I will force his ass to make fucking time. 8D Or at the least visit her long enough to have a really sweet moment before he's back to chasing Dino to bite him. R&R and till next time, ciao-nee. :3
Chapter 5: Shadow of the Red Flower and Sun Match
The talk that Reborn wants Aina to hear. Seemingly somewhere in Aina's Italian blood, there was someone who had Sky Flames. Who? More than likely her biological father, and that brings up the question. Who is Aina related to? Although her flames don't appear destructive, it brings up a very good question to which her father's blood roots came from. Perhaps when Aina visited the Vongola family, a friend of her grandparents over in Italy, when she was little holds the key. Could a chance encounter with Varia when she was naught but a little girl be a clue to who she may have come from? During the discussion, Reborn decides that Aina needs to start taking dance lessons. Why? Not only to be a limber dancer, but also to be able to avoid hits until he can find her a sparring partner to teach her to fight. Aina has to be prepared to be Tsuna's shadow when he succeeds being the heir.
However, she has very little confidence in doing this. So she heads to the roof, begging to see Hibari. He's on the roof fighting and Dino's family is blocking her path. She needs to at least talk to Hibari, even if he is angry with her for interrupting his fight. This will also include the Sun Match. Ryohei Sasagawa Vs. Lussuria. Aina is asked to watch the match to learn possible moves from the two fighters. Operation Rose Storm for Aina begins. Until next time :3 Jaa ne!
