Leonora Bovino was electrifying. She came off a little ditsy, but she was smart and funny. Her 'twin' sister was scary, and many students at Karakura High were very thankful the other girl did not attend their school. They apparently did not realize that scary ran in the family.

One evening, her phone rang, a familiar number on screen. Leonora practically dove at her phone, "Hey Tsuna-nii!" She greeted warmly, "Did you know that Haru showed me pictures of the jackets Reborn inspired her to design? They're so cool! When do you think she'll let me wear mine?" Her brother chuckled, "After you finish your first year, I-Pin has to wait for the same thing." Leonora pouted, "I bet Fuuta gets to wear his now…" Her brother barked a laugh, "Scintilla," his voice sounded warm, "No-one but Hayato, Takeshi and I will be wearing the jackets until next year, don't worry. If anything, I should worry. Haru and Reborn are plotting something." The green-eyed teen had to laugh at that. "Oh no!" She looked out of her window, the sun had just dipped below the horizon, "I should get back to my studying, Tsuna-nii, I hope you can come visit soon!"

Of all things, Leonora wasn't expecting a call from her aniki the next night. "Tsu-nii? Aren't you busy?" He sounded kind of exasperated, "Sì, piccola scintilla, by all rights I should be, but a certain someone overheard us, and wants me to drop by. Apparently, the general Namimori public thinks we're all an up-and-coming yakuza family, or some ridiculous thing, especially since Haru got it in her head to make those jackets, and make us model them around town before we left. So she says that we're going to look the part; apparently, I'm getting acting lessons- can you believe it?" Leonora snickered, sometimes Haru gets caught up in her cosplay schemes and drags people into them, the more things change, they stay the same... "And hair dye, contact lenses, some amout of Hayato-approved 'punky' jewelry, makeup too actually." The teen shook her head as her brother rambled on, sounding a little panicked and exasperated in equal amounts, "Mama thinks it's amazing, 'My Tsu-kun, an actor!' she says, and I don't have the heart to tell her otherwise!" Just then, she thought he was throwing his hands in the air, with that one 'what control do I even have in my life' expression he had come to perfect over the years of knowing Reborn and his scheming ways. Her brother's voice broke her musings, "Say, Leonora, how much do you want that jacket early?"

Leonora Bovino is pretty tough, all things considered, and doesn't take being labeled 'easy pickings' well. She beats the thugs that were trying to harass her, and in the process, catches the eye of Karakura High's most known delinquent: Kurosaki Ichigo. He approaches her the next day, with a peace offering of grape bubblegum, and an offer to join his ragtag group of friends; who remind her of her famiglia.

She's been amused for weeks, her brother has been calling, and telling her that she has to act too- not that that will be difficult- and she's been given their definitive aliases. Tsuna-nii is Shi, Haya-nii is Arashi, Take-nii is Akuma. They're going to pick her up from school, and give her her jacket, and she's knows that she will probably end up freaking her new friends out.

That day has come- where Ichigo and crew have been acting a little twitchy around her, because Leonora has been antsy. After the final bell rings, Leonora and Ichigo, who've grown close as of late, lead their pack down to the school gates, with their friends following close behind. As they pass through the gates, they take notice, there's four shady young adults loitering outside the gates. It stuns Leonora- she can tell who each of the four people are, because those are her brother, his Left, his Right and Haru, but damn. The four look so different. Aniki dyed his hair black with blond frosted tips, 'Arashi' got a few piercings, 'Akuma' bleached his hair and put contacts in, so did Ai. They looked on edge, and completely different, with angry, almost unapproachable auras. This sets Ichigo, and Chad a little bit on edge too.

'Shi' was leaning against a wall, waiting for his little sister to be done with school, beside him, his right hand was doing the same thing, except 'Arashi' was smoking. A little ways away, 'Ai' and 'Akuma' were crouched, playing a betting game with a coin and knife. They painted a very different picture than they normally did. Usually, Tsuna, Hayato, Haru and Takeshi came off as open, approachable and warm- normally that is; today, they decided to play along with one of Haru and Reborn's madcap cosplay schemes.

Leonora squealed, and launched herself at the punk with the frost tipped hair, "Aniki!" The young man smirked, "Ah, Imouto, never change…" She disengaged the hug, and introduced her new friends to her brother and his crew. "Aniki, everyone, this is Kurosaki-kun, Asano-kun, Arisawa-Chan, Sado-kun, Inoue-chan, and Kojima-kun." Her brother smirked an uncharacteristic, but familiar smirk, "Ah, pleasure kiddies." He chuckled, "Nora must really like you to have introduced you all to me and my crew… I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Shi." Here he nodded to the silverette, who smirked around another cigarette, "Arashi." The blonde that was with the three males spoke next, "I'm Ai, and that's-" The tallest man cut her off, chuckling somewhat darkly, a twisted smirk pulling his lips, "Call me Akuma.." Orihime edged back, almost entirely behind Tatsuki, who had followed Leonora, unsettled by the feeling of not-quite-right that radiated off of the introduced Akuma, who had stood to loom menacingly by his Boss' side, skilfully and terrifyingly flipping around the knife from earlier.
