He sat back in his chair, switching looks between the teacher at the front of the class and the clock that hung at the side of the room. The constant tapping and scratching of pencils had annoyed him to a point where he wanted to lash out, just unleashing everything that he had on him and blow a hole out of this place. Although he wanted to, it would just cause trouble for him and everybody else who was affiliated with him, which was something that he tried to avoid, even if he didnt do a good job of doing. He sat up in his chair and looked at the board at the front of the class and looked at it until he had drifted off into his own imagination, thinking about how he even got here. As he wondered through his own mind, images of buildings and fighting had entered, making him cringe in fear and anger. If anyone knew what his past was before, what he was now, normal people who didnt have a clue about the world that he lived, they would have looked at him like he was crazy and probably exclude him from their world. Although he is an excellent actor, pretending that he came from a small family from outside of town. He didnt know how long it was going to last, but decided that it he might as well milk it for all he had it. Suddenly, a loud bell had rung, the sound that he had been expected for a long time. It had knocked him out of his trance and his nightmare, leaving him in a scene of running and yelling students, which sounded like heaven to him. "Finally." He said to himself as he packed up his things and walked out of the door. He had about 20 minutes to hang out and relax, but due to his laziness, he knew that he wouldnt go back to class for about an hour or so, but that was just him. He arrived at the top of the building, and felt the light breeze as soon as he walked outside, smirking as he walked to the ledge. [/style]

"Hey, Senpai, help me out wouldja?" the cry came from a few feet over the edge where one of Kentaro's underclassman would be found dangling from the ledge with only his finger tips to keep him stuck to the roof. Now, it'd be nice to say there's an interesting and educational story to how he came to be in this perilous position. And while it is one of those things, it most definitely is not the other

----

A short while before the start of first period, Raitaro Inazuma was strolling to class with his friend classmate who owed him after he fought a paedophile on behalf of his girlfriend, Genji, and was listening for the Nth time about Raitaro's work on inventing a new Power Chord called the Superpower Chord when he spied the rooftop and remembered a story.

It was sad that one of the exchange kids in their class, Valdus, was really solitary and liked to hang out at the roof. If Raitaro was in the wrong place at the wrong time then it was just possible he could get killed by him. Since the last version of the school's polls he'd saw placed Valdus around equal with Rataro in the runnings for 'strongest one in class' (surprisingly, Takumi Saito was on the list too but he had no idea why) so even if Raitaro didn't die he'd likely get injured. Genji was getting preeeetty sick of hearing about this power chord...

"Hey Raitaro, you're really strong right?"

"Heck yeah, I am, strong as Jimi Hendrix's hit-"

"OK, that's great! Only I heard some rumour that you'd NEVER be strong enough to climb up the whole school building and spend all day on the roof..."

----

So it ought to be fairly obvious what exactly had happened, Raitaro had indeed managed the climb but was no stuck dangling from the ledge and couldn't quiiiite pull himself up. Which is where Kentaro comes in, and Raitaro's fairly weak plea for help. Raitaro hadn't even seen him but he recognised the blue hair enough as he dangled over the ledge, he just couldn't remember the guy's name...

He was sure that being a hitman wasnt going to use things like history or math. The only applicable thing that Ken would have to know is how many laps he could run in gym. Any thing physical would have a much better chance of staying in his head. He chuckled to himself, thinking about how he had an hour to kill until school was done. As he walked to the edge and kicked some rocks, he thought that he would actually get some sleep while he was up here. There wasnt anyone around, time to kill, there was a nice wall to lean against, it was like this place was built for him. He laughed to himself and again started to walk to the edge. Suddenly he heard yelling, almost like grunting. He stood his ground and balled his hands up, almost like he was going to fight. Being in a high school, it would only make sense that Ken would fight, especially those who thought that he was just a pushover and lazy, which he was but wasnt going to let anyone tell him that he was. He put his hands down and figured out it was coming from the ledge. "Hey, Senpai, help me out wouldja?" Kentaro peeked over the edge and saw that there was a student hanging over the ledge. Ken was very confused about this situation but knew that falling from this height could pose as a potential problem. "Uhhh, Sure." He shrugged his shoulders like it was a everyday thing that one would be hanging off a ledge. He dug his feet into the gravel and held out his hand, letting him hold the mystery dangler. Kentaro thought that it would a little harder than that, as the movies make it look so hard, but it really wasnt. This would probably be the high point of his day. [/style]

The lecture on the history of the Edo period hung in the air, yet the usually diligent Hayato paid no attention to it. His mind lay elsewhere as he stared blankly out a window located right next to his desk. It had been about a week since his encounter with the rest of the guardians of the Shimon Familgia and the new boss, Nox. Since that meeting his mind had been a beehive of activity, carefully calculating and estimating the worth of his new comrades and at the same time trying to figure out if the family’s future was really going to work out. They were an unusual lot that’s for sure and had left many, many serious doubts about Shimon’s future. Shaking the thought from his mind he tried to focus once again on the teacher’s lecture. The attempt lasted thirty seconds before his mind began pondering the family’s future with the new boss and guardians. Hayato could only bury his face in his palms in frustration, on the very verge out screaming his lungs out. Luckily the bell signalling lunch time had prevented such a performance. With a quick, liquid movement Hayato was out of his desk and the door, briskly walking through the hallway before the tide of students made their way through corridors as well. Although it wasn’t one of his usual destinations, Hayato found himself standing under the open sky on the rooftop of the school building. The light breeze was soothing, gently carousing his previous frustrations and anxiousness away. Just standing there with his eyes closed catching the sun’s warm rays were bliss, almost ecstasy for the bunch of nerves called Hayato. It felt like this moment could carry on for eternity and then with a sudden cry for help, it went away. Opening eyes to look at the source of the voice, Hayato could only stare the scene before him. Some idiot had fallen over the roof’s edge and now some other idiot was trying to pull him up. It was almost like some scene from a manga, where the main hero would come and save the damsel in distress – usually the girl he has a crush on – and in saving her becomes cool in her eyes and eventually falls in love with the hero. ”What crap am I thinking... and what the hell happened to my blissful moment?” He questioned almost rhetorically, his question directed to some higher form of power, a god or fate who obviously loved pulling him into these ridiculous situations. Always, always he found himself pulled into some sort of trouble. It was as if he naturally attracted troublesome situations, like the pull of gravity pulling misfortune upon himself. And then a sudden thought crept up in his mind, like a whisper creeping up from the depths of his mental caverns. It never happened…I never saw this scene…I just came here to clear my head and now that I feel better I’ll just go back to class and enjoy my lunch. That’s right…I’ll just go and enjoy my lunch. With a satisfied smile and a nod of conviction he moved thought into action. Shit. Despite himself, Hayato found himself right beside the blue-haired boy extending his hand to the dangling boy. ”Hold on, I’m here to help.” Why does my conscience always kick up at times such as these and for idiots?

[RAI INAZUMA]

They always say you can never have too much of a good thing, but when it comes to hands extended to help pull you up from the ledge you're dangling from then... well, it's not always desirable to have multiple choice. For starters, it meant he now had to choose which hand to grab.

Well, the first Senpai had blue hair, looked more confused than anything else and didn't resemble anyone particularly intimidating. The second senpai, being Albino, bore a certain resemblance to a kid Raitaro was aware of who he also knew was fond of rooftops. At the same time, Valdus would probably have stamped on his fingers so that he'd plummet to his death so maybe it wasn't him. After a moment of concentrated debate, resolving this the only sensible way he could see, he grabbed the blue haired guys arm first and as he hauled up, grabbed the albino's too so that they both had an equal share in saving him from plumetting to his doom.

"Woah, man, you guys saved my bacon there, 'nother couple of hours and I definitely would have fallen" grinning without any trace of understanding what he'd done weird there, Raitaro shuffled across the roof to the door and sat down, arms folded across to give them at least SOME kind of rest as he sat and whistled tunelessly to himself. Glancing across at the two who'd helped him up, they both looked to be a year or two older than him, always good to meet your seniors. Still, maybe this was what Genji was talking about. Maybe they were like, strong guys who hang out on rooftops and...

"Oh, hey, I'm Inazuma, by the way. Nice to meet you guys." Raitaro's effort to puncture the awkward silence threatening to form was probably offset by the fact he had no idea who these two guys were. He kinda hoped that they weren't ALL planning to spend the whole day on the roof, unless someone brought a pack of cards it could get boring pretty quick. At least it gave him time to plan, his grandad had dropped the bombshell on him this morning that he needed to step up his game as the Head of Spiaggia and find the Mare Rings. Spending all day staring at the sky thinking of people to recruit would be good for his peace of mind...

Questions began to run through his mind, like What would have happened if he wasn't here? and how did he get in this predicament? Namimori was indeed the strangest high school that he had ever been to, granted that he has only gone to two, but Namimori was definitely the strangest. And as if it couldnt get stranger, he had heard someone come up and help him. Though it was not something that he had expected. As he was pulling him up, another student here had taken the other arm of the dangling student, but at the same time startling him, as the student appeared to have skin as white as hair, and red eyes that seemed to fit his appearance. Vampire was the first word that through in his head, but quickly discarded it, trying to hide his smirk. "Come on, up you go." After him and the vampire had help the boy up, Ken sat down, leaning back looking towards the sky and caught his breath. "I'm more out of shape than I thought." Ken thought to himself as he gave a slight chuckle "Woah, man, you guys saved my bacon there, 'nother couple of hours and I definitely would have fallen." He looked at the student and gave him a confused look. "Another couple of hours? A couple of minutes and I would have been food for scavengers. Just who was this guy?" Though he smiled at man and stood up. "Well, glad I could help, just be thankful that we were here." Ken nodded towards the boy named Inazuma. He then gave a small salute to both him and the white-haired fellow. "Kentaro Takahashi, but my friends call me Ken."He had never seen these to before today, though he was always sleeping and only moved here for a couple of days, it was nice meet some new people when he is in his rare mode of alertness [/style]

[RAI INAZUMA]

Raitaro seemed to take this name announcement oddly as he tilted his head to one side, had he heard that name before? Something his dad might have been shouting at him about some mafia who may be in the area? No, wait, it'd involved that guy who used to be involved in Giglio Nero, Giatta? Ahhh, he couldn't remember, he'd have to ask him subtly but for now he had to explain why he'd been looking so weird a second ago. Blinking a few times he grinned and looked a little awkward
"Sorry, I was miles away just thinking about... nicknames. So you're Kentaro and you're my senpai... Nice to meet you Kenpai" it seemed like this nickname was indeed going to stick, Raitaro's confusion was somewhat augmented as he saw a flutteriung green bird come flying up to him and landed on his finger.
"Madason? What's wrong buddy?"
"tweet, twi-tweet"
"Timmy fell down a well?" Raitaro glanced up to see a large mantis like animal surrounded by blue flames fluttering through the air, hissing wildly
"Ohhh, it followed me as well" it seemed the mantis was something Raitaro was aware of.

Thinking back, it may've had something to do with that Hitman who'd demanded the Rings off of him this morning... ah well, only one way to deal with this. Glancing at his two Senpai, Ken the blue haired and ? the white haired and decided that given their hair colours, this wasn't going to be the oddest thing they'd see all day. Madason fluttered down and landed on his finger as the tiny green budgie was moved into position and pointed directly at the mantis creature as it clawed and hissed through the air. A shimmer of green lightning crackled between the two of them as Raitaro's Dying Will Flames were absorbed into Madason. After a moment to check the shot, Raitaro nodded and announced
"Pew-pew!" as a beam of solid green lightning flames shot forth from Madason's mouth and pierced directly through the Mantis Box animal. The poor creature fell into blue fire and shot back into the distance, returning to the box it came from.

Nodding at his achievement, Raitaro let Madason fly off and shoved his hands into his school trousers.
"RIGHT! Sorry about that Kenpai and Senpai, Now to wait the whole day to prove to someone I'm tough" taking a seat again, Raitaro watched as Madason fluttered to perch on his shoulder. Thinking for a moment, he bluntly said
"You best not poop on me" before refocusing his attention on just staring at the horizon.

He was probably in debt for saving his life, there was a chance that he wasnt going to leave him alone, but discarded that thought from his head. Ken was a nice kid, and didnt have it in his heart to reject the boy, and eventually sighing at the new nickname that he was given. He had only been here a few days and already had a nickname, well one that he was known to be called. "Kenpai, I kind of like that." Ken smiled at his new friend and thought about leaving for right now. Ken did indeed like his new friends, though when it came to his special time, he liked to be alone, just this once. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the twittering of a nearby bird, that seemed to perch on Rai's shoulder. He titled his head and had his suspicion on what the bird really was, since he seemed to be talking to it like a normal person. And to Ken, that wasnt very common, at least not to normal people. His suspicions were confirmed when there was a blue mantis that flew overhead, which startled Ken to a degree, but he had any idea on what it was, and just smirked. Ken put on his sunglasses, and pressed a button on the side, starting them up. From the outside they seem like normal sunglasses, but are really scouters for flames. He focused on the mantis overhead and pressed the button overhead. "Rain flames, makes sense now. Not really outputting that much, though it is considerably average." He then looked over to his new friend and saw that him and his bird were more than ordinary people. "Lightning flames?" He witnessed the beam shot directly into the mantis, where is disappeared into fire, and the only reading he got was from Rai. He slid his sunglasses back to the top of his head and smirked. "This explains a lot." He examined the bird on his shoulders and continued to smirk. "So am I right to guess that you guys are in the mafia?" Though it may seem like a stupid question, because he had a box animal, though it could be that he was just freelance, like many others. [/style]

He had heard the name before and it was almost as infamous as his. Rated as one of the strongest students in the school, Hayato wondered why this had been his first meeting with the fellow and if that claim held any legitimacy, especially if the ‘strongest’ was hanging of building roof’s with his life in the balance. The other boy seem closer in age then Inazuma yet Hayato had never heard or seen him before. Then again he had never seen Inazuma before and he was well-known in the school somewhat. ”Kozuki Hayato.” That was all he was going to give them. It was just good manners that compelled him to even give that much. Coming up here for a calming breath of fresh had seem like a good idea in hindsight but there had been a reason why many chose to avoid this place…too many unusual individuals resided here. Standing up and getting ready to leave, the presence of a dying will flame caught his attention. His eyes darted to an odd blue mantis, the apparent source of the flames. He had been trained to at the very least sense the presence of a flame and it seemed that his training had paid off, especially when Inazuma confirmed his suspicion when he fed lightning flames to his bird, which in turn shot it out at the mantis, causing it to burn up in mid-air. So the rumors that he has some strength actually held some merit. It wasn’t unusually to meet someone with another flame. Namimori held a number of flame users, ever since the Vongolia Decimo attended. The real question for Hayato was: what famiglia was this boy associated too? A question the other boy, Ken, had asked. Was he part of the mafia world too? He had been focusing on Inazuma that he failed to notice that Ken had been able to recognize the flames accurately, something a mere civilian could not. Interesting. Hayato would play along for now, at least until he could establish these two’s identity. ”I’m from the Shimon famiglia, the current dominating family of this area.” He announced proudly, lifting up his Shimon ring that now held his mountain flame alight.

Well, that shot had been good alright but now left him with two new problems. Not only were both senpai not surprised (of course not, with hair THAT weird they had to know all about weird stuff) but actually seemed to know about the mafia! Which was awkward since Raitaro had been convinced he did all this with Chi since he was about 7 until his grandpa had explained EXACTLY what it was his mother had done. Still, they seemed to know as much as him, even though he didn't know what Rain Flames meant, wasn't that a contradiction in terms? Still, the other two seemed to be knowledgable and Kenpai even asked if they were in the mafia. Raitaro frowned, glancing at Madason before replying
"Well, I am, but... he's a bird"
"Cheep" Madason agreed before Hayato could introduce himself, upon hearing his introduction Raitaro gave a small wave to say hello and when he mentioned his membership in the Shimon he found himself jumping to his feet quickly and shouting in surprise.

"Ehh? There's a Mafia for Senpai too? I thought the only ones in town were me and Takkun" while it may not be obvious from his newly bestowed nickname, Takkun was the current Maguro Boss, Takumi Saito, Raitaro's old friend from elementary school. Still, with his hands firmly buried in his pockets, Raitaro was up with a whole plethora of questions for the newly revealed member of Shimon
"If you guys are the controlling power does that mean you're mean Gangbangers like those Pesce guys were? And how come your ring thingy looks a different colour than the ones I've seen before" this last one was a valid question given that as far as Raitaro knew the 7 flames of the sky were all you could expect from anyone. It was during this minor shpiel that he realised he was probably being a bit rude so took a step back to looked at his two senpai once more.

Kozuki seemed to be fairly important in the area so it might be worth seeing if he could help out his search for the Mare Rings and, I dunno, Takkun was strong but if Maguro kept getting targetted he could use some stronger allies who WEREN'T Raitaro. Given the situation, it'd be worth trying to talk him into siding with them. And as for Kenpai... well, he seemed to know about this mafia stuff so it only seemed fair he came clean
"OK, so... I'm the Boss of a local family called Spiaggia, we got wiped out around 10 years ago so we only just reformed and I'm our only member but I help out Takkun so if you have a problem with Maguro I'd be happy to answer it" Takumi had his own guardians, but he was a friend, if Raitaro could help him out then he'd take the hits like a man. Even if these two did save him from a drop...

Though he shouldnt have been too surprised, since that this town was the largest amount of flame users that he had ever been to. He nodded towards the boy, Kozuki, and put his hands behind his head, smirking towards the both of them. Although his personality was more careless and lazy, he was sort of excited to meet others like him, though what he learned from his time in the mafia, not everybody is your ally. But Ken was sure that there was nothing troubling about the two, though he has been wrong before. He had examined the Shimon member and looked at his flame. His personality would say otherwise, but he was really interested in the ability of producing flames and their concepts, and could easily point them out like he was a smart-ass. "Fascinating." He lowered his glassed and pressed the button, opening an interface within his glasses. He looked at the flame that he was producing and rubbed his chin. "The Mountain Flame, one of The Seven Flames of Earth. Property is soil and earth manipulation." He pulled up his glasses up on top of his head and gave an embarrassing look. "Im sorry about that. It's just that I've heard about the earth flames, but ive never seen one in person before." He laughed at Rai's explanation of being in the mafia and smiled at the bird on his shoulder. Though he had extensive knowledge of the flames, he did not however have any information on the families that lived in these parts. He only knew about the descendants of the Vongola, though did not know the name, and now he had just found out about the Shimon. The name Takkun had gone through his head and went through the other ear, unknown character that seemed to have a lasting impact on Rai. He again laughed at Rai's question on the ring and flame of Kozuki, thinking that he had a lot to learn, but stifled his laugher, giving Kozuki a chance to explain. Now the biggest news of the day, knowing that this boy was a boss had surprised more than anything. Many questions ran through his mind, like how could someone so young be the boss of an entire family? Although, now that he though of it, Tsuna Sawada was about his age when he took over the Vongola, but still it was shocking. Another question that went through his mind was how he was the boss of the family with only just a lightning flame, since he had known that most family bosses had the sky flame, though it was probably something that was not permanent He finally figured out who the Maguro were, and thought to himself about how he was supposed to find people like him, and these people were just the right fit. "The Maguro huh?" He crossed his arms. "That's the family that I keep hearing about." Ken laughed and thought to himself how he thought for the longest time that he was supposed to be the next Vongola Boss, though that was a dream long forgotten. "I have even heard about the Shimon, But I have never heard of the Spiaggia." [/style]

Maybe he overestimated these two with regard to obtaining information. When Inazuma dared to compare Shimon to some low life gang, a flash of anger erupted in Hayato, a cold glare penetrating towards the boy. Pointing towards Rai, the Mountain flame flaring up to match his anger, Hayato spoke, ”Don’t you dare compare Shimon to some wannabe filth like that! The Shimon familgia has been around for more than a hundred years. Our weakest member could finish trash like that all by themselves. You ever degrade my famiglia again, I’ll end you myself…understand?” Releasing an exasperated sigh, Hayato dropped his hand once he realized he’d gone off the deep end again. This always happened. Whenever the Shimon name was involved, he couldn’t contain his emotions at all. Still although he knew he was out of line, he wouldn’t apologize for his behaviour. It was that kid’s own fault for not understanding anything. Finally calming down enough, he heard Ken mention something about his flame. Watching out the corner of his eye, the boy’s glasses caught his attention. Were they unique glasses as his own? For him to recognize his flame, yet not know the familgia to whom it belonged. The glasses must be able to see different flames and their properties. Anyway returning his vision back to Inazuma, he opened his mouth to speak again, ”To answer your earlier question, you are aware of the Seven flames of the Sky, right? Well there exists Seven flames of the Earth that are opposite yet equal in power to the flames of the sky. I won’t go into much detail, but my flame is one of the flames of the Earth, the Mountain flame.” Nodding in satisfaction to his answer, he listened as Inazuma declared himself the boss of a family called Spiaggia. He had never heard of the name before. He mentioned Maguro as well, and that was a name he was hearing around lately. Supposedly its boss was some kid in middle school named Takumi-something. He was never one for rumours anyway. Still that family of his intrigued him. They were slowly building a reputation for themselves. ”Anyway, starting a family is not easy. Especially if you’re lacking guardians who can use Dying Will flames. Unless you can get strong enough guardians who are willing to follow you, don’t even bother resurrecting your family.” He didn’t speak with any malice or hate, just the plain and solid truth.

[RAI INAZUMA]

So, uhh, so much for mild-manned white haired senpai as Raitaro immediately ducked back with Madason cowering behind his head as Hayato quickly told them his thoughts on comparing the Shimon to the Pesce. Raitaro's brain immediately piped up that, given they both called themselves Mafia, how the £$% was he supposed to know one was 100 years old and one was about 3? It's not like he spent his childhood engrossed in this stuff, he spent most of 1st Grade playing through crappy video games for crap's sake. He didn't vocalise his considerable displeasure for the simple self preservation reason of he could by no means fight an entire famiglia by himself even with Madason to start firing lasers like it was going out of style.

Keeping his cool, which was already a minor miracle, he took what Hayato said as being a good point. Of course he wasn't about to point out that he'd wiped out the Pesce's with Takumi just a few days ago. And for that matter that he hadn't actually been touched the whole time and Takumi had done so without using... Dying Will Flames? That is the name right, damnit, he kept thinking Chi why did he do that?

Glancing to Kentaro who was commenting on the Flames of the Earth, his confused look switched between the two of them until Hayato looked at him again. Recoiling by sheer instinct and prepared to block the punch, he was surprised to hear him explaining himself. He asked if he was familiar with the Seven flames of the Sky and Raitaro glanced to Madason, as if the bird somehow had an answer for him
"Yeah, sure, why not?" He had a vague idea what each colour did and even if he forgot he usually got a reminder in a few minutes into a fight. So the Mountain Flame was an analogue to one of the Flames of the Sky? Huh, that was kinda neat. Maybe they had Flames for other stuff like the Flames of the Ocean (no wait, Mare Rings, probly not) or Flames of the... Fire... Maybe he should leave the thinking to the professionals.

And of course, when he least expected it Kenpai dropped the bombshell on him that he'd never heard of Spiaggia, of course his mouth dropped, they'd gone under a while ago sure but everyone had heard about them right? (Wrong, they were a borderline black ops group for Giglio Nero, but it wasn't like Raitaro LISTENED to his dad)
"Eh? You never heard of us seriously?" he looked at Kentaro, a slight look of betrayal in his eyes as he looked back at Hayato
"Hey Kozuki-Senpai, you've heard of Spiaggia right?" which was immediately followed by Hayato changing the subject and saying how hard it'd be to start a family over again which just caused Raitaro to grab his head in pain and crushing disapointment "He hadn't heard of us at all!!" he thought to himself dismally as Hayato described how hard it'd be to start a Family. Seriously, how had everyone heard of Takkun's group but not his!? Was he not loud enough in describing who he was? Must be it...

"Well, it's not like I have a choice in the matter" Raitaro grumbled "All I can do is find these stupid Mare rings and safeguard them. If I can't find any guardians I'll just have to do it myself" which'd be a pain but at least he had Feren in his house, maybe he could hide some mines around town or something... and if no-one had heard of them then I guess that at least gave them a better chance of keeping quiet. Rummaging in his pocket, he produced some birdseed and held it out to Madason as the budgie took a grip of his finger and began offloading poop onto the roof. Naturally. Because that was ALL Madason did. Wincing, Raitaro added
"I'm up here all day Madason, you jerk, you couldn't hold it until you were over some rich guy's head?"
"tweet"
"Stupid bird... Anyway, Kenpai what about you? You know more about this Flame stuff than me so I guess you're some kind of Mafioso too?" Yeah, Raitaro didn't fully understand Dying Will Flames but didn't mean he couldn't use them. His ringless hand emitted sparks of green lightning flames that were absorbed healthily into Madason. His lack of ring may not have been noticed before but now it was far more obvious as he held the bird at arm's length to avoid getting pooped on.

His heart jumped a bit, not ready for the increase of volume, from a nonetheless calm guy like him, but it seemed like he was not the kind of person to stand there and let his family be tarnished like that, which could have been a common mistake to make, especially from a young kid like Raitaro. Though he had just met his new friend, he felt that it was his duty to protect his friends, even from seemingly new ones. He got into the way of the two hitman and put his hand a couple inches away from Hayato. "Hey come on now. No need to be so angry. It was an honest mistake." Ken smirked at both of them. He then learned across the edge of the roof and listened to the explanation that Hayato was giving, thinking about the first time that he had learned about the flames. Though he was just a kid when he learned about them, it still felt like the information was fresh in his mind, and because he had his flame scouter, it was always interesting when he came across something that he had not seen before, like the Mountain Flame. He chuckled lightly to himself, thinking about how he only needed to see the rest of the Flames of the Earth. After the explanation, Ken shifted his position so that he could talk. "There are also special flames, like the element that Vindice uses. No one to this day knows what it is, and it's something that my glasses can't even decipher. He remembered seeing only a glimpse of the tall, sleek hitman as they handle affairs between families, but as he talked about it, he piped his own interest, thinking about what kind of property it had. Though he didn't want to admit it, there was truth in Hayato's words, about resurrecting a family, though Ken didn't say anything. It was sort of off-putting that he would be so forward with a kid, though he could understand that being in the mafia was no game. And having strong guardians did have a factor in a strong family, though he knew that it wasn't everything. Ken lightly smiled at Rai's question about not knowing the Spiaggia, shrugging his shoulders. "Sorry, it doesn't ring a bell." He tried hard to think about the families that inhabited Namimori, though nothing about the Spiaggia had popped in his head, maybe because it wasn't as big as the Maguro or Shimon. He had heard of the Mare rings though, as they were spread out through the world and originally belonged to the Giglio Nero family. He had heard of their power, especially the Sky Mare Ring, being able to jump from one dimension to another, which seemed like it could be a useful tool. Ken admired the tenacity of Rai, proclaiming that he would find the rings by himself if he had too, something Ken couldn't do even if he tried. He smirked to himself, thinking that this kid was more of a mafioso than him. While he thought to himself, Rai asked him if he was a mafioso too, in which Ken laughed at him. "Don't you think that if I wasn't a mafioso, I would know so much about Dying Will Flames." He smiled and scratched his head. "But yes, I'm a mafioso. Though unemployed at the moment." He thought about his objective of coming to this town, to find someone with goals like him, though he was sure that it was supposed to be the descendants of the Vongola, though it wouldn't make sense because of his Sky Flame. "Right now, I'm just living life." [/style]

It seemed like Ken was relatively familiar with the Mafia world while Rai was basically only getting his feet wet at the moment. A silent sigh escaped the young guardian. Why had he gone off his rocker for a complete newbie. Seems like he was wound up tight ever since the advent of Shimon's glorious new leader. Damn that guy annoys me. "I've never heard of the Spiagga either." He replied to Rai's question. He had been in the Mafia world his entire life and had substantial knowledge regarding it, especially other families but he had never once heard the family Rai mentioned. His eyes did sharpen with seriousness once he heard the mention of the Mare Rings. Anyone in the mafia underworld knew of those rings, whose power was said to equal the Vongolia's. They were dangerous indeed and this complete noob was looking for them? "Why are you looking for the Mare rings. Those are elite class rings whose power is nearly unlimited. Do you know how many Famiglia would kill for those? Even the Vindice are rumored to hunting after them and the Vongolia. You had better stay clear from them if you value your life." He didn't know if the seriousness in his voice hit home but he figured Rai seemed like the type to charge in blindly no matter the danger. A smile cracked his face at the thought. He liked guys like that. With Rai's little display of power Hayato's brow raised in curiosity. From what he could tell the boy was ringless. To produce flames strong enough to materialize without a ring required flames of the highest purity. "Seems like you got potential. You might become a threat later on. Though try to not fall off a roof first." He said almost jokingly. [/style]
