Ryu woke up to the three new dogs are now sleeping next to him. He yawned as he rubbed his eyes. Green eyes blinked sleepily as he took a quick shower.

He stretched as he came out to do the breakfast. Ryu whistled and the animals came rushing in to eat their own food. He chuckled and looked at the named Chihuahuas and Japanese spitz.

Yoru(night), a long coated black chihuahua, Yuki(snow), a smooth coated white chihuahua, and Ren(water lotus), a blue-black Japanese spitz are now part of her mismatched family.

Ryu placed Ren around his neck and put Yoru and Yuki in school bag with a large blanket wrapped around the books to prevent any hairs on it. He locked the door and head to the middle school.

He noticed he went through the changes since he slept through his birthday. His hair has gotten long and reach to his bottom, skin became tanner, and gained few more inches. He touched his metal hair clip, a gift from Mother Magic. He remembered what his teacher Kai, a Bakeneko, told him about the Lightning and Rain Flames and even about Twilight Fire Kitsune.

-Flashback-

"Remember, child. It is hard to control wide variety of flames to fight with. Your family is capable of doing that due to your unique bloodline of Twilight Kitsune." Kai told to the black-haired boy who is panting from exertion from using Rain and Lightning Flames at once.

"Don't forget that the Kitsune can control foxfire, illusions, and change appearance. They can be attracted to shiny things like your metal hair clip." Kai spoke as Ryu blushed in embarrassment.

Kai chuckled at the young kit and explained what the Twilight Fire Kitsune.

Twilight Fire Kitsune said to be most powerful of kitsune species due to their fire-making ability. They can cast illusions and control for a long time as they want to. Even the Metamorphmagus said to be descended from the kitsune that can change their appearance.

-Flashback end-

Ryu snapped out of the memory and went into the classroom. He noticed the silver-haired boy that wasn't here before.

The eyebrow twitched annoyance as Tsuna said Gokudera's name. He heard about the student came from Italy and he knew he is a mafia member.

Ryu sat down and Gokudera turned to glared at the white-haired boy he never see before. Ryu merely glance at him and promptly ignored the silvernette. He said hello to Tsuna and Tsuna smiled at Ryu. The silvernette growled at the red-eyed boy.

"Who the hell are you? Don't get too close to 10th, pretty girly boy!" Gokudera snapped.

The killing intent suddenly filled the classroom and the students felt fear and terror. Gokudera gulped as the white-haired boy glared at him from the comment. The killing intent is quickly gone as it came. Ryu planted a very sweet smile that spoke of pain.

The students, Tsuna, and Gokudera swore they saw the black aura in shape of a demonic figure holding the katana.

"Well, my name is Ryu Saito. Nice to meet you, Gokudera Hayato." Ryu spoke calmly like nothing happened before flipping to Italian. "I suggest you better watch your mouth, 'Smokin' Bomb Hayato.' You never know who you might piss off someone big time."

Gokudera look at the green-eyed boy who spoke to him in fluent Italian with shock and sat down in his own seat. Ryu smirked and took out his schoolbooks.


Ryu sat on the roof, watching Takeshi Yamamoto and Tsuna talking. A smile lifted and gone as he look at Reborn spying on them. Dark red eyes glinted dark blue for a minute and it is now gone. He head downstairs.


Ryu jumped over the beams to practicing dodging attacks from the wolf Warrior who is using teeth and claws. Green eyes now amber-colored. He hissed in pain as Warrior clamped his jaws on Ryu's leg. Ryu lifted his leg up to kick the white wolf with a pained yelp.

Warrior and Ryu growled at each other as they circled around. They lunged at each other.

Ryu bit Warrior's ear and the wolf yip and Warror's claws raked Ryu's chest, leaving blood and tears in shirt in wake. Ryu snarled, baring his teeth.

He flung Warrior over his shoulder and slumped from exhaustion for three-hour training. Warrior panted as well. Ryu smiled and put Warrior over his shoulder. He jumped off the unfinished beam building. The animals and Ryu went to sleep.
