Takeshi was silent as he entered TakeSushi, the sushi place run by his dad. Tsuna had informed him of a lot of things during their walk home from school. He hadn't really understood all of it, but he'd at least understood that hanging around the brunette would be dangerous. He knew that Tsuna wouldn't hurt him, but the danger was actually the people that would go after his friend. Hazel darkened as he remembered the concerned look the other had given him.

'I kind of figured that Tsuna was special, but I hadn't realized that he was apparently very important to a lot of dangerous people...'

The rain glanced down at his hands, all he was really good at was swinging a bat. He'd be a burden if he was near Tsuna when someone was targeting the other, Tsuna would risk himself to protect him like he had on that day he'd attempted to jump off the roof. Tsuna had gotten hurt then, and he probably would again if things stayed as they were.

'The mafia...'

He hadn't really believed it when Hayato had mentioned it, nor had he when Reborn or Ie did. Takeshi let out a soft sigh, Tsuna's gaze had been a warm orange, and he'd just looked so serious. He highly doubted that the other would joke about something as dangerous as the mafia.

'No wonder Tsuna kept trying to avoid me and Hayato, he had probably been trying to protect us'

A familiar glint caught his attention from the corner of his eye, causing him to pause and look at the sword. It had been hanging on the wall for as long as he could remember, hadn't his dad mentioned that he'd once been good with a sword? Maybe he could teach him. A sword had to at least be better than a baseball bat right?

Steel narrowed curiously at the frail herbivore, it's eyes had opened and it's feathers had come in nicely. It still required him to bring it food, but at least the bird was growing at an acceptable rate. Soon the little herbivore would be starting to fly.

It had been interesting to care for the small creature, to see it change from a featherless thing to a small and fluffy yellow canary. But his care for the creature seemed to be paying off "Hibari!" Kyoya blinked, eyes widening a fraction in shock. He hadn't taught the little one how to talk, nor had he thought that the bird was one of the correct species to actually be able to say words.

"Okay, since Tsuna is going to be the leader of the CEDEF, and Ie is his lightning guardian, I'm going to train the two of you together from now on" Not that he'd really trained the sky all that much in the first place.

'I don't have to worry about Ie going crazy and trying to kill Tsuna anymore'

Tsuna gave a small nod "That makes sense" They were in Namimori forest, a part of it that hadn't yet been destroyed.

Ie bit his lip "I don't really remember much from before..." He gave Tsuna a questioning look "I think I was okayish with my flames?" He thought so, but he wasn't sure. His memory before being captured as a child was pretty spotty, there were many holes in it.

The sky nodded, gaze soft "You were better at controlling your flames" A small blush tinted his cheeks "I couldn't even light a candle" But he'd improved a bit over the years at semi-controlling his flames. The first time he'd truly called on them for more than a few seconds had been when he'd been fighting his brother, after Ie had gone berserk.

"Oh?" Now Reborn was curious.

'That's surprising, but Tsuna also had the sky pacifier to feed... Now that he's older, and Ie isn't unknowing stealing his flames, Tsuna should be better than him now'

Encouraged by Tsuna's confirmation, Ie focused on his hand, feeling for his flames until he was literally holding a ball of green lightning, small sparks were flying everywhere though they didn't cause any harm. Brown widened as Ie's jaw dropped, it had been so long since he'd seen his flames. The ball promptly exploded in his face, making Ie yelp and fall backwards onto his butt. He'd lost his concentration.

"That's a good start" The hitman nodded in acceptance. Teaching someone how to draw on their flames was the hardest step so this at least saved them a lot of time "Though you need to learn how to prevent it from blowing up" At least it hadn't caused any damage, which was surprising.

'His flames have a good colour, a lot better than the pale sky flames he'd been spewing before'

Tsuna then tried to do the same with his own flames, wincing a bit when he felt a sharp pain in his chest as the flames formed a smooth, orange sphere. It's shape  was a lot more refined since his flames didn't spark like Ie's. He kept a smile on his face as he offered Ie the sphere, which the other took after a few moments. Green bolts began to run along the orange surface "Our flames are compatible" The sky couldn't help but grin, chest feeling lighter the moment he'd stopped feeding the sphere.

The lightning's face was that of amazement as he watched the orange become more and more overtaken by the green. Tsuna wasn't feeding it unlike him, so it only made sense that Ie's own flames would overtake Tsuna's "It's so warm and fluffy" Ie's voice was soft as he turned towards the hitman "How can flames be so soft?" It didn't make sense, but neither did the existence of magical flames.

'What does he mean by fluffy?'

Reborn had never heard flames be called 'fluffy' before "Hand it over" Ie swiftly knelt down and offered Reborn the duel coloured sphere. The hitman could immediately feel that the sky flames were what were keeping the sphere's shape. He blinked, it did feel fluffy, but it also had a faint buzzing to it. The buzzing was probably due to Ie's flames.

Me: Now that Tsuna actually wants to be friends with Takeshi and Hayato, it's only natural that he'd seriously warn the rain that it wasn't a game.
