Second Life

Yuni

Right after they had rested for awhile, they had decided to go to the Vongola Base to find Squalo, and possibly Yamamoto, Bianchi, Giannini and Spanner. It was practically a mess when they arrived. There were burn marks on the wall and celling, a few of them crumbled down. Ryuuichi could still feel the aftermath of the heat and huffed. He never really like hot weather or condition. In addition to the humidity down here, it was quite bad.

He coughed a little as they went through one of the holes, trying find Squalo. This would definitely be one hell of a repair once everything ends. Well, at least he wouldn't be the one who would be repairing it. He was lingering behind of the others, looking around while covering his nose and mouth from the dust when he heard a voice and some shuffling. He stopped his track, unknown to them, and looked towards his left.

He blinked when he saw shadows. "Hello?" He called out. He walked towards the shadows direction and squinted his eyes, trying to focus in the dark. His sight gotten clearer as he moved closer, only to paused in mid step, eyes widen. "Yamamoto! Squalo!" He rushed to them after calling out loudly at the others, who presumably had walked the other way.

"R-ryuu?" Yamamoto was surprised to see the said teen rushing towards him and Squalo. He had just found the man not long ago when Ryuuichi appeared from the other side. Ryuuichi nodded at him and started inspecting Squalo. Behind him, footsteps of several people were heard before Dino, Romario, Kusakabe and Hibari appeared.

"Wha-" "Shut up and heal him"

-------------------------------------------------------

"Let's see...." Ryuuichi looked around, trying to find the spot where they had gathered. Seeing that the sun has already set, there should be a fire. Fortunately, the forest was dark enough to spot any source of light even from far. 'Ah then again, they're like, surrounded by higher grounds.....'

He sighed, in both exhaustion and troubled. He had just help a tiny bit on healing Squalo, but not fully. (He let the others finish the rest) He did healed both Dino and Hibari in the morning at the same time after all. After that, he had straight ran out to join Tsuna and the others, and somehow got lost in the process. The forest was too thick and not to mention it was dark.

He walked deeper into the forest, searching for a while more until he noticed he was more lost than he was before. Although he had a good sense of direction, to navigate in this dark condition was not a good thing. He huffed, wondering what should he do. He blinked when he felt one of his box weapons that were chained on his belt moved. He had almost forgotten them. He looked down and saw the Cloud and Sun box weapon moving. He sweated a little. 'Did I... brought them back to the past and to the future without even realizing they were with me all this time...?'

He undid the chain and took the box weapon to his eye level. It really was moving. And then, an idea came to him. He took out his ring from the chain around his neck and wore it, lit it up in both Sun and Cloud flame. He whistled lowly at the combination before inject the flame into the box.

The box glowed for a moment, before two streams of flames were shot out, one purple and the other yellow. A black panther and a white panther appeared. Both had different attribute of flames at the tip of their tail. The black one has Cloud flame, while the white one has Sun flame. Cubs.

Ryuuichi crouched down to their level, stroking both of them. The black one somehow purred a little while the white one leaned into his hands. He chuckled. "Kuro" The black one looked at him with grey eyes. "Shiro" The white one mewed (growled?) in acknowledgement. He smiled softly. "Please help me find the fire. There will be other people too. More than 10 of them, actually." They growled in unison and started to lead him away to another direction.
