The 1st Guardian

A tall 7'2 foot figure was standing in the middle of Namimori shrine. he wore a long black silk robe, black silk dragon pants, black chinese style slippers and black socks. He carried two long tengoku blades on his back. On his right hip twin light blue Muramasa on his other twin light blue Odachi. On his right hand was seven rings. The first on his right index has a petal design with flames around it and the word 'kasai' inside. The other six had a symbol of mist, thunder, sun, rain, cloud and storm. All on his right hand.

Surrounding him were twenty or more men surrounding him. he drew a Tengoku holding it. orange flames engufled his first ring. Sky flames wrapped around his sword. he gripped it tightly as he drew his second. Flames engulfed it. The red eyed 18 year old watched as his opponents charged him. Each with katana. Around their katana red, blue, indigo, purple, yellow and green flames. Makai ducked under them. he kicked the first and elbowed the second. he blocked a pair of blade and leapt back. he swung his blades unleashing twin arcs of sky flames. The flames slammed into the men sending them flying. More appeared.

Alicia had just gotten out of class and as such she is still wearing her school uniform except she removed the skirt and is wearing the shorts underneath the skirt and she has her running shoes on with the red and white socks on her feet and her curly blue waist length hair which is pulled into a high ponytail and she has tarnished gold eyes.

When she reaches the shrine's steps she see's there is a big commotion up at the top as she see's orange flames coming from the top and she goes through her knowledge of the different flame types and her eyes go wide and she realises a mafia boss maybe getting attacked at the top or someone with a high position in the mafia so she opens her first weapon box and pulls out her gunblade which is the same color as her dying will flames.

With that Alicia takes the steps 2 at a time after putting her storage box in a part of her school bag and after she reaches the top onto the shrines main courtyard her Dying Will Flame through the resolve of proving herself to a potential mafia boss her Dying Will Flame has engulfed Crisis her gunblade within a flaring flame aura that is red.

Without stopping she charges into the battle noticing the 7"2 man dressed differrently then the ones in black suits being attacked by them she turns her attention to the nearest black suited men and she aims the barrel of her gunblade at them and sends forth storm flames, "Storm Burster". When she calls out the attacks name a huge burst of storm flames that send the men flying and makes sure that none hits the man as she runs up to him.

"Hey are you alright sir and these men don't seem to friendly would you like some help I am more then willing to lend a hand".

With that she brings up her gunblade and points it at the mafia members while her back is to this big man beside her.

THe man smiled at Alice as a large burst of storm flames sent his attacker flying, 'My thank you for the asssistance. They have been getting on my nerves these past week.' He sheathed his tengoku, "Please handle those on the left." A mass of storm flames erupted from his body spiralling around the entire shrine. he inserted a ring into a storm box on his hip, 'Box open!" The box weapon opened. A large spiral of storm flames shot into the air consuming the shrine. A loud screehced was heard. massive wings flaped. The flames came together taking the shape of a giant bird made entirely of storm flames, 'Fenice Tempesta Storm Phoenix!" The larg phoenix looked a tthe men and screeched. it opened its mouth. A large jet of storm flames erupted from its mouth engulfing a large group of them. The two were surrounded on both sides by their opponents.

Alicia nods as she calmly then charges into the men on the left without needing to say anything for him to understand that she understood and is then almost back to back with him even after she deals with her group of men with sword fighting skills and storm flames deteriating there own Dying Will Flames if they have them incapacitating them as she looks at this man when he releases from his own box weapon and the storm phoenix comes surging forth and deals with a large group.

"It seems they dont intend for us to get away right now this is becoming annoying but I havent had to fight like this for awhile".

Building up her Storm flames she puts enough into her next Storm Burster for a wide area attack and knows that this is going to be an upgrade to her original move and calls out as she fire this large storm flame attack up into the sky and over there enemies and her eyes glint with red light as she says, "Storm Array Burster".

With that this huge amount of Storm flames come down in a conflaguration of storm flames hitting all there enemies with the deteriating flame on them most of the weaker ones fainting from the power of this attack and the stronger ones stumbling and confused for the moment.

Makai deactived his storm flames. The phoenix screeched loudly and unleashed a large jet of flames from its mouth. The flames raced forward crashing into the remaining mafia members. Theys creamed as they were sent flying into the air. They hit the ground hard with enough force making them lose consciousness. The phoenix screeched again and burst into storm flames. The flames returned to the storm box before it shut. makai sheathed both is tengoku and turned to the young girl. he smiled gently and bowed, 'Thank you for your help i am Makai Kasai."


(I"m going to have him play her. Acting as if he's not the boss of the Kasai that he works under him)

Alicia deactivates her storm flames as well and opens her weapon box and puts Crisis back inside as she then closes the box itself and then puts it away and then looks around at the chaos the two of them just did and her eyes go wide since thanks to her grandfathers connections that still where within the mafia she knows the Kasai family has only recently come to light and is a new Mafia Family.

"Not a problem Makai my name is Alicia Forester its nice to meet you Makai". Alicia bows back to Makai though she doesn't know why but there is something about Makai but she just puts it aside for future reference.

"So are you a member of the Kasai Family if so then its an honor to meet you sir Kasai".

Makai smiled gently to her. he ruffled her hair with a gently expression, 'Oh yes i'm of the Kasai family. My boss the Primero (1st) sent me on a mission to recruit more members and here i am." He had his hands behind his head, "You know your pretty strong yourself." Makai wrapped an arm around her shoulder in a friendly gesture, 'So ever considered joining a family?"

Alicia tries to settle her hair down after he ruffles her hair, ``And these mafia men interrupted your little search to recruit more members is it safe for us to stay here whoever there boss is would probably send more men to find out what happened to these ones``.

Not knowing why but when she looks at Makai she feels that there is more to him then him being a lower ranked member that the Primero sent to search for recruits plus the fact that instead of being in a place where a large group of people would be at to find more members especially ones with Dying Will Flames or not in a more populated spot.

``I have training from my grandfather but he has finished teaching me all that he knows but still I have alot more to learn if I want to have a chance to join a family``.

Alicia says the last part comfortable with his friendly gesture and she says to Makai, ``I have not had alot of run ins with any of the families so I haven`t had a chance to join one``.

Makai grins at her. he takes a step back. he crouches to her eye level. he pokes her playfully in the forehead, 'Well in that case how about i train you? You don't need tojoin but just a friendly offer between friends?" He gave a large grin. Around his waist was five belts. each covered in dozens of box weapons. His rings shined. he placed a hand on her shoulder, 'So how about it? I'll gladly give you training for free." He flashed a gently smile. he then stood up easily towering over her.

Alicia lets loose a big grin on her face since she can tell by the way he pokes her playfully in the forhead, ``Well I am more then interested in training and it would be an honor to be part of a family it would be a great learning experience if you would be willing to accept me``.

Alicia now cant shake the odd feeling that he might be more then a recruitor when she see`s that he has so many box weapons and all those rings and she then looks not to shaken when he towers over her but still seems so friendly and gentle while offerring her the training for free.

Makai grinned at her. he reached behind his back grabbing a box weapon. he tossed it into the air. he spun sun flames engulfing his middle finger and ring. he raised a hand. The box landed on his ring, "box open!" Sun flames sent the box flying into the air. The box opened. A loud screeched was heard. Flying out was another phoenix. This one made entirely of sun flames. The bird screeched as it landed beside Makai. he leapt onto its back. he held out a hand to Alicia, "Come on i'll give you a lift on Fenice Sole the Sun Phoenix!" he smiled gently to her.

Alicia smiles as she looks as he reached behind his back and pulled out a box weapon from back there and toss it into the air and his middle finger and ring get engulfed by sun flames and that makes her take another mental note and then it all goes away and she feels an overwhelming exhaustion from using her new upgraded version of her original attack.

``Wow Fenice looks majestic and alright``. With that she takes Makai`s hand and gets helped up onto Fenice and she tries to remain focused but the drain on her flames was alot and she has to blink a couple of times to see straight.

Makai grinned as he held her up. he sat her in front of her. the phoenix flapped its wings. its sun flames reguvenating them both. The bird took flight heading towards Namimori. it flew high in the sky. Its sun flames burning bright. Makai grinned as they flew high. he stood up and grinned. he moved to its wings. He grinned rubbing his hands. he then dived off falling to the ground. he laughed as the wind hit his skin.

When Makai places her down in front of her she begins to get excited even more so when the phoenix`s sun flames rejuvanate them both and she feels giddy since for a long time she had to always act calm and reserve and not do anything to embarrass her families name or her grandfathers when they met some mafia bosses during an introduction to a couple of the families.

``This is incredible I am so glad that I came to the shrine today otherwise I would not have met you Makai nor would I have gotten to do something I never thought possible``.

Alicia laughs a bit as the wind blows through her hair which she loosened up her ponytail so some strand would flow loose as she then see`s him dive off from one of the wings towards the ground as she looks over the side in suprise when she see`s him falling rapidly and is stuck in place even if she is worried about him since he just seemed to have plummeted to his suppossed doom.

Makai laughed loudly as he felt the wind on his skin. he could see the earth coming into view. he decided to stop playing. Sky flames engulfing his ring. The flames consumed his body. he held out his hands. Flames erupted like jets stoping his descent. He held his hands beside him and took back to his phoeni. makai flew through the air heading straight towards them. he hovered in the air beside his phoenix grinning at Alicia, "What thought i'd really kill myself?"

Alicia looks at him when he flies up using his Sky flames as she makes careful note of that since in most cases that Sky is the mark of a Mafia Boss or someone in a higher up position as she blushes as well when she thought he could have killed himself right then and there since her grandfather never taught her how to fly with her Dying Will Flames because he was never able to learn that skill.

``I am sorry the way I reacted I had forgotten with training you can use your flames to actually fly that is one of the only area`s where I never received any sort training in and I just paniced``.

With that Alicia breaks down in embarrassed tears though even more so because she started crying right in front of him as she hides her face from view.

Makai watched as she broke down crying. he flew over and landed beside her. he wrapped his arms around her in a gentle warm hug. he held ehr close,'Sssh, now thers no need to cry. I said i'd train you and i'll teach you to fly." He rubbed her back gently, 'So wipe those tears i don't like seeing people cry."

Alicia looks at him and after a few moments she sniffles and then nods as she looks up into his red colored eyes her own unique colored eyes blink away tears and she rubs them off her cheeks and nods slightly and soon has a soft smile on her face.

``Yeah your right and well its rare that I cry like this but thank you for the comfort Makai and it would be wonderful to fly like how you just did I always loved when I dreamed that I could fly like a bird or even like how you do it was always incredible``.

Alicia says in an excited voice though she tries to contain it.

The phoenix landed in the yard of a large mansion just out of Namimori. Makai got off. he grabbed Alicia and helped her down. he raised his box weapon. The pheonix screeched and burst into flames. makai smiled as he put the box away. he looked up. He saw someone sitting in a tree and chuckled, 'Oh Father your here. That's a surprise." He had his hands in his pockets as the figure sat in the tree drinking a small cup of coffee.

A small infant jumped from the tree landing on the ground. he wore a black suit with orange shirt underneath and tie., he had a black hat on his head with a green chameleon. He walked up to the two. A yellow pacifier around his neck. He tipped his hat and grinned, 'Ciassou Makai it's been awhile."

Alicia looks at the mansion that stands before her and yet also remains aware that someone else was here and that he exuded a strong aura and she knows from all her lessons from her grandfather that the one before her with that green chameleon with him and the unusual clothing is one of the strongest hitmen in the mafia to date.

Watching the small infant make his way over to the two of them Alicia remains casual but observing everything that goes on around them and her own ring is within reach in case of any chance of attack since she has not met Reborn before and as such remains weary of him.

Reborn leapt up at Makia. he landed on his head. he smiled gently, "It's been awhile my son." Reborn turned to Alicia and held up a small hand, 'Ciaossu i'm Reborn!" The small infant leapt landing on Alicia's shoulder. he waved to her. he was so small compared to her. he stood so easily on her shoulder.

Alicia waves back to him and she says back informal greeting along with her own name, ``Ciaossu its an honor to meet you Reborn my name is Alicia Forester and its nice to finally meet you sir since I have heard so much about you from my grandfather``.

Alicia shakes his small hand and she notices how small his hands are to hers but knows despite being a baby he is the strongest hitman that has lived.

Makai smiled as he watched the two. he leaned back against a tree. He pulled out a cigeratte and lit it up. he took a long drag, 'How is tsuna and his guardians father?" Makai released a large cloud of smoke from his lips.

Reborn smiled at his son, 'They are fine my boy. Tsuna has grown in power, wisdom and as a leader since we came back." Reborn jumped down from alicia and onto the ground with a smile, 'I see you are recruiting her for the Kasai my son."

Makai nodded his head, "Well i'm training her at the moment. But i do hope she joins we could use more members." He had his hands behind his back as he smoked the death stick.

Alicia listens to the two of them speaking while remaining silent while the two talk and she has more then a gut feeling that Makai is a mafia boss just by how Reborn talked with his son and she looks at the two of them when conversation turns in regards to her and she says after a few moments of silence.

"I am more then happy that I went to Namimori shrine today otherwise I wouldn't have met Makai here and I havent had to use my storm flames for fighting like that since the end of training with my grandfather".
