Alexander had arrived in Namimori no less the a hour ago he looked from the window of the car that he was being drove around in. Alexander couldnt stand being treated like he was some sort of king or something. He told the driver to stop and opened that door leaving the car. The drive jumped out and ran after his boss, Alexander had a habit of just leaving his men in the dust. As the drive rran after him he kept yelling "BOSS BOSS!". Alexander looked at his driver "If your worried about me then would you running after me yelling boss attract attention" he said adjusting the Astore Gloves on his hands. "If your worried then keep to a distance.. im not useless we are here to meet with Sawada Tsunayoshi, Vongola Decimo, and nothing will stop me" The look in his eyes made the driver back off and he walked away. Alexander wasnt stupid he knew they had men around her watching him they never let him out of there sight.. Alexander kept looked around this shopping mall was thing of beauty 'Decimo sure picked a great place to set up his operations' he thought himself.
After a hour of walking around Alexander sat down on a bench to him was nice and comfy but when he looked up he could see all the men that where to watch him in more then obvious hiding places. "YOUR ALL MORONS! CANT YOU FIND ANY WHERE BETTER TO HID YOU NUMB SKULLS" He yelled everyone for a mile could have heard him "YES BOSS" They all replied Alexander sat back down and laid his face in his hand... This small group was all that was left of his family and friends that damned Angelo family. Alexander gripped his fist and sky flames shot from his Astore Ring Alexander realized this and stopped them hoping that no one unwanted saw his Sky flames.

Ryosuke hadn't planned on visiting the shopping district this particular day, but a voice, which he hoped was destiny, had called him there. On such a chilly, wintry afternoon, he would have much preferred remaining in his home. He hated days like this, where the sky was gray, threatening to snow yet never did. But if fate called him, he had to answer, no matter what the circumstances.
So, swaddled in his warmest clothes, he was in the shopping center, where even there he was cold. Ryosuke huffed to himself, not particularly enjoying his aimless wandering. He was sure he'd eventually find something, though. Because something interesting was always happening in Namimori, especially since he joined Tsunetoki in the Vongola Familia.
Speaking of his new found second life, Ryosuke absent-mindedly played with the box in his pocket. Without even having to look at it, he knew which side he was touching, what would be the most effective way of taking out and unleashing his weapon. He traced each and every ridge with his fingernail, taking comfort in the thought of it merely being there with him. His ring was on his right hand, also a reassuring presence.
Ryosuke quickly found what he was looking for, or, at least, what destiny wanted him to find. "You're all morons! Can't you find anywhere better to hide, you numbskulls?" He heard, the voice coming from a young man seated on a bench. If Ryosuke had been his past self, the one that wasn't involved in the mafia, he would've ignored this, might have given the guy a weird look, but nonetheless ignored this incident. But not this Ryo. This one gave the young man a scrutinous look, stopping in his tracks to observe the scene. The men that answered him could only be described as bodyguards of some sort. Or, he thought, mafioso.
His suspicions were verified when the man's fist suddenly ignited with orange flames. That was all Ryosuke needed to approach him. He kept his right hand in his pocket, hidden away so that there would be no evidence of his being in the mafia. "Hey, there. [/color]" He greeted him with a smile amicably, sitting next to him on the bench. " That was a really cool magic trick. How'd you do that?[/color]" He made his voice slightly higher pitched, giving it an excited tone, and his facial expression matched it. He wasn't going to go out and attack him in broad daylight.[/blockquote][/size]

Alexander looked over as the man sat down with a smile. He had said something about a magic trick for someone to have noticed his flame was rare or they had to be looking for it. This situation bothered him someone seeing his flame was it member of the Angelo or Vongola, could really just be a civilian who saw his flame. Alexander smiled at the person sitting next to him "Yeah you like it im a pyro-magician it a great new magic circuit in Italy" he said with a smile. Alexander then snapped his finger and a flame appeared floating above his finger then it dissipated. Alexander watched the man closely if he was a Angelo or Vongola he would know.
As Alexander did his thing with "civilian" the family member started to move closer watching to make sure there was no funny business. One of the men looked at the young mans hand, it seemed to be playing with something but he could say anything till he was sure it was weapon, or even a box weapon.
Alexander kept a smile on his face as his eyes looked into that of the young mans. Alexander needed to know if he was to attack or thank the heavens he met with a Vongola member so soon. Then Alexander realized he had forgotten his box weapons in the car if this guy was a mafia member and they had to fight Alexander would be defenseless other then the Hyper mode pills in his pocket he had nothing to defend with. If this man was Angelo or Vongola he needed information and he planned on getting it out of him. "I have a question im visiting from Italy might you know where i could find a man by the name of Sawada Tsunayoshi?" he said closing his eyes and putting his hand in his pocket ready to do what he needed to survive.

Though he hid it quite well, Ryosuke observed the young man, his eyes never wavering. His gaze took in his image, from the black hair to the distinctly foreign appearance. He certainly looked like he was a mafioso. Besides, that flame, it was the flame of a leader, the flame of the sky. A chilling thought of the leader of the Angelo Family personally coming to put an end to them entered his mind, but he ignored it. It couldn't be possible, there's no way he could be here undetected until now. Or be so careless as to expose his flame in public.
"Yeah, you like it? I'm a pyro-magician. It's a great new magic circuit in Italy." the man said, snapping his fingers to produce a flame. Ryosuke played the part of interested native quite well, in his own opinion. His eyes lit up, gaze on the flame until it disappeared. Of course, he had seen his own and others flames numerous times, but his seemed different. Not only was it a sky flame, the rarest, it seemed different from even Tsunetoki's.
Ryosuke nodded enthusiastically in response. "Wow, that's so cool. [/color]" he remarked, keeping his focus on the man yet also noticing that his bodyguards had begun observing him. Whoever this guy was, he sure was important. Even he, the Rain Guardian for the eleventh boss of the Vongola Family, wasn't so heavily attended to. And God knew he needed some protection. "I have a question im visiting from Italy might you know where i could find a man by the name of Sawada Tsunayoshi?" the man asked, closing his eyes and placing his hands in his pockets. Ryosuke guessed that this was supposed to seem casual, but his actions spoke volumes. He could only assume that there was a weapon in his pocket, and he was readying himself to attack. Ryosuke didn't allow the question to faze him. " Not that I've heard, no.[/color]" He said, easing away the subject. This man wasn't doing a particularly good job of hiding his identity, Ryosuke thought. Because of his prior knowledge, he could translate all of this boy's actions and words into his connection with the mafia." I could certainly help you look, though. What's your name, pal?[/color]"[/size][/blockquote]

Alexander smiled and looked at the young man next to him it was obvious to him that he knew something and was hiding it i mean hell that was how he hid what he was going with his his father around....his father at that moment there was no hiding the pain on his face. He looked at the man as he offered to help him look and asked him his name Alexander smiled and put his hand out to shake hands with him "Me? I'm Alexander Cielo Astore" he said with a smile Alexander was the kind of person no to shy away from help and right now he needed it to find Tsunayoshi and the Vongola.
Alexander stood up and stretched motioning to his body guards to leave as in go far away. Alexander might not have his box weapons but he knew that he could handle this young man. Alexander looked at the young man again "Id thank you to help me find him see he runs a business of helping families that are in trouble and mine is so i came to ask him for some help.... oh where are my manners, Whats your name?" He asked a smiled on his face. Alexander hating the wait and having someone to talk to would be a nice change of pace even if it was someone that he suspected to being a Angelo dog.

"Me? I'm Alexander Cielo Astore" the young man introduced himself, a name as foreign as his appearance. Ryosuke shook his outstretched his hand, gripping it firmly with his own smile on his face. It would really suck if it turned out that Alex was an Angelo Family member, or one of their allies. He seemed like a nice dude. But it didn't look like he was, at least, not from the signals he was picking up. He now knew for sure that destiny had beckoned him to this man, but whether or not he was to destroy him or assist him he did not know.
Ryosuke stood with Alexander, having already shook his hand. He watched as he gestured to the bodyguards, presumably telling them to leave. He wasn't sure if he should be relieved or nervous. He chose to be neither, instead opting to look perhaps a tad fearful. "Woah, who're those guys? [/color]" He said quietly, seemingly amazed and scared, biting his bottom lip with eyes slightly widened. "I'd thank you to help me find him see he runs a business of helping families that are in trouble and mine is so i came to ask him for some help...." Alexander said, further proving Ryosuke's assumptions. But, well, they were already past that, weren't they? Foreplay was no longer needed. Ryosuke knew that Alexander was a part of the mafia, and vice versa, probably. All that remained was deciding which side he was on. He certainly hadn't heard of any new families allying themselves with the Vongola from Tsune. But, then again, this man had just arrived in Japan, he didn't even know where Tsunayoshi was. But could Ryosuke really believe that? "Oh where are my manners, Whats your name?" Alexander had asked. " Oh, my name's Ryosuke.[/b]" He answered, wondering if he would recognize the name. For now, though, he supposed that he should just try to gather more information before making any final decisions. " C'mon, there's a guy over this way that might know who you're talking about.[/color]" He began slowly walking out of the shopping center, waiting to see if Alexander would follow. " So you said your family was in trouble? That sucks. It must be really bad to have to come to Japan from Italy. What's wrong, if you don't mind me asking?" Ryosuke remarked, his attempt at being a kind native who's trying to start a casual conversation.[/blockquote][/size]

Alexander was done pretending to be someone else and it was tiring all the lying that he had to. He smiled at Ryosuke but said nothing as they started to walk. Ryosuke acted what had happened to his family to need Tsunayoshi's help. Alexander smiled once they where away from the crowd "As you know the Angelo family is ruthless if your not with them your against them... " Alexander stopped walking and gripped his fists tightly thinking of what they did to his family. Alexander had full faith this person was Vongola or a Allied Family. Alexander looked at the man before him and with smile told him who he was and what happened to his family. "Im Astore Decimo, i came here to Japan to find Vongola Decimo and ask for aid for me and the small group you saw before. " Alexander took a few steps and put his hand out again it was like meeting this man for a second time.
After that he started to walk ahead of Ryosuke his hands in his pockets walking "The Angelo Family destroyed the Astore Estate with it Guardians and Boss inside.. I had ran after Reborn to talk to him for short time.. im not sure that anyone survived the attack all i know is that me and my guards are the only ones ive met with so far." Alexander said stopping looking into the sky with what looked like tears in his eyes but his voice showed no sign of crying. Alexander wiped the tears away and turned to look at Ryosuke. He had asked why he wanted the Vongola's help and now he knew the story or at least the general base. He had no plans on explaining all the details of his family with someone he had just met. Alexander figured this boy was a guardian but nothing was for sure

"As you know the Angelo family is ruthless if your not with them your against them... " At that, Ryosuke knew that the ruse was over. Or, at least part of it. They both knew that they were both involved in the mafia, but from that point on, it could all be lies. Was Alexander Astore actually the boss of his own small family, a family that was almost wiped out by the Angelo? Was help all he wanted from Tsunayoshi Sawada? Or was it perhaps a cover for an assassination? He was at a loss for words, for a solution. He didn't have the Hyper Intuition that Tsune had. True, his atmosphere-reading was better than most people's, but mafioso were skilled in the art of lying. He still couldn't trust Alexander yet. "Im Astore Decimo, i came here to Japan to find Vongola Decimo and ask for aid for me and the small group you saw before." He said, extending his hand again for Ryosuke to shake. He obliged, wanting to believe him.
"I'm sorry for your loss. [/color]" Ryosuke said, assuming that since Alexander was the new boss, he and the late boss were related, presumably son and father. He really did want to believe Alexander. He liked to see the best in people, give them the benefit of the doubt. There wasn't a lot someone could do to make him hate them from the get-go. After finishing a little sob story, the Astore Decimo seemed as if he was crying. He was facing away from Ryosuke, of course, so he couldn't tell for sure. But he definitely reached up to wipe his eyes. Catching up, Ryosuke decided to take a chance. " Tell me something - anything - that will assure me of your alliance.[/color]" He hesitated before speaking the next part, but decided that he should compensate Alexander. " I'm the Rain Guardian for Tsunetoki, Tsunayoshi Sawada's adopted son. If I find out you're lying and actually with the Angelo, I'll have to kill you.[/color]" He showed him the box weapon and ring as proof, meaning every word, even the threat.[/blockquote][/size]

Alex looked at Rain Guardian and gave off a faint smile his hair covering his eyes his fists gripped tight then only things he had showing he was who he said was where the Astore Gloves, Astore Sky Ring and his mother and fathers Box weapons. How could he prove he was who he said he was... other then how his flame looked there was no difference, and who knows maybe the Angelo have a different flame look it was beyond him. Alex didnt want to fight this guardian but he couldnt say that he didnt expect it.
Alex looked at the young Rain Guardian his golden eyes showing the extent of his passion "I cant prove who i am... Its not that i dont want to but with a family that cut its ties with most of the Mafia world we haven't been in the lime light for very long." Alex rolled up his sleeves and showed Ryosuke both his gloves on them was the crest of the Astore the pride that flowed though his veins. Alex then took them off slowly his only real weapon but not only did he take off the gloves he took the Astore ring and his storm ring off and handed them to the young Vongola member.
Alex looked at member with his golden clear eyes that embodied the world of the Sky. "Even if you where to attack me, i trust you Ryosuke the Rain Guardian of the Vongola 11th family" Alex said dropping his gloves and rings in Ryosuke's hands. Alex took a step back and smiled at the young rain guardian he had no will to fight none of the Vongola all he wanted was to ally himself with them.. and fighting would ruin the whole point and make another pointless war that would end in the killing of more men on both the Vongola and on his side.

Ryosuke fully expected for Alexander and his bodyguards to attack him after he had revealed his alliance and position. He had been ready for it, though, with his ring on his finger and box out of his pocket, he was fully ready to engage them in combat, even if he was outnumbered and out-skilled and most certainly to be defeated.
But, no. That wasn't what happened. Instead, Alexander unceremoniously dropped his weapons - his two ring and a pair of gloves - into Ryosuke's hands. He was dumbfounded, speechless. Completely unable to comprehend that a potential enemy had just disarmed himself and given him the weapons. He could only come to the conclusion that Alexander was indeed an ally. Of course, he momentarily thought that perhaps he was lulling Ryo into a false sense of security and actually had another weapon hidden somewhere, but he pushed away that thought.
Ryosuke returned his smile. "I believe you, Alexander. [/color]" He said with finality, glad he had discovered another ally. Though, a problem still remained. " Here. Take these back.[/color]" He held his weapons out for him to take back, having full confidence in the Astore Decimo. " The thing is, though, I actually dunno where the Vongola Decimo is. I'm actually pretty new on the mafia scene. I'm really no good at fighting, either. So I can't help you find the Decimo.[/color]" He said this almsot sheepishly, a bit embarrassed at his lack of knowledge.[/blockquote][/size]

Alex took his gloves back as well as put his rings on and then looked back to Ryosuke. He started to laugh as he heard the Guardian say that he hadnt the slightest idea about the whereabouts of Decimo, The irony was so thick today it wasnt something that pleased Alex but couldnt blame Ryosuke for it. Alex put his hand on his shoulder and smiled more "If you need help with getting stronger ill be happy to help you i could use a bit more fight time as well" Alexander said as he smiled. At that moment his bodyguards ran up to him all of the huffing and puffing. Alex looked at them with a eyebrow raised "Sir... Sir we where to worried so he followed you we are so glad your ok" Alex closed his eyes and one of his eyes twitched... these guys really didnt have any faith in his or thats how it felt. "your all a bunch of.... NUMBSKULLS WITH NO IDEA OF HOW THIS WORKS DO...." He yelled at them for about five minutes forgetting all about Ryosuke for a minute. Alex then bumped the leader of his bodyguards "Why dont you have more faith in me.. i might be 17 but i was trained by my father" As he said that all of the bodyguards broke into tears
Alex looked at Ryosuke and then back at them....with a look of oh come on guys dont cry. Alex looked at them as one of the guards walked over with Alexander's Box weapon belt "Here Boss you might need these if your going to spare with the Vongola kid" Alexander smiled and took the belt putting it on smiling at Ryosuke who had to be weirded out by the water works and Alex's yelling. Alex walked over to Ryosuke "So what do you say know of any place we can fight to hearts content." Alexander looked a bit to happy to train with someone but it have been the fact he could train with the Vongola.
Alex had a weird vibe going on about something.. it was off and he didnt like it he looked at Ryosuke it wasnt him but then what was bugging him. He put it off for the moment he wouldnt let a vibe ruin a chance to train with the Vongola Rain Guardian.

Ryosuke didn't quite like how Alexander seemed a bit condescending with his words. "If you need help with getting stronger ill be happy to help you i could use a bit more fight time as well" He had said, smiling. He knew that the Astore Decimo certainly didn't mean it in that way, but he couldn't help but be a little irked, though it was he himself who had first admitted that he wasn't particularly skilled. It was just his pride getting in the way, though, he was sure. Alexander was most definitely trying to be helpful
It wasn't long before the Astore Decimo's bodyguards caught up to them. Ryosuke had wondered where they had gone, or if they had indeed left them at all. He certainly wouldn't have, if he was the bodyguard of the sole heir to a mafia family. But it did seem as Alexander had wanted to be left alone. He could understand that, too. He wouldn't want to be treated as a child and constantly be watched. He began snickering as the older boy began chewing them out until they began crying. It was fairly interesting to see a figure who was supposed to be strong begin bawling their eyes out.
"So what do you say know of any place we can fight to hearts content." Alexander finally asked, after turning his attention back to Ryosuke. The Rain Guardian smiled and nodded. "Here, this way [/color]" He said, leading the way to a certain clearing where he had fought before. It seemed like so long ago when he fought with Tsunetoki against that strange man and the mantis. Upon reaching the clearing, he sighed contentedly, breathing deeply. This was where it all began for him, where he was introduced into the world of the mafia, and he had yet to regret it. It gave him new purpose in life. It quieted the voice in his mind. " Is this alright?[/color]" He asked.[/blockquote][/size]

Alex followed his new friend to a area then seemed to nostalgic to Ryosuke this place must have been a area of his past and to Alexander that a perfect spot to get stronger because the memories would make him fight just a bit harder. Alex tightened his gloves and made fist with a smile on his face "This spot is perfect Ryosuke i look forward to fighting here" Alexanders bodyguards stood watch a very safe distance away. One of them ran over to Ryosuke and shook his hand and with a face of terrior spoke "It was nice knowing you... in your case box weapons might not be the best option." He said running back to the safe zone that was very long way away. Alex looked at them with a eyebrow raised then shrugged it was there loss to not see what the Vongola Ring could do up close. Alexander needed a ring that could match the Vongola so he could avenge his parents
Alex looked at Ryosuke he wasnt about to wait for the start bell. Alexander normally let the fight progress but against a Vongola ring he had no time to waste. Alex popped in a Deathperation Pill.. his Gloves had a light flame around them and a flame appeared on his forehead. Alex closed his eyes and opened them slowly his eyes now as orange as his flames. His flames slowly gained strength showing a dark orange color to them similer to hard flame of the Vongola family. Alex cracked his knuckles and his neck before taking his stance to do battle with his hands to the side and his knees bent forward ever so slightly he was ready to go he started to test him flame watching Ryosuke. Alex hadnt done battle in while and he wanted to make sure he could fight harder and faster then ever before.
Without missing a beat Alex disappeared from most senses but sound the sound of his flames dicharging was like a rocket without out a sound barrier Like nothing he was behind Ryosuke he was using soft flames to support his turn around Alex flipped through the air with with out hesitation he cut the flames off one his right fist and went in to punch Ryosuke. Was testing his reaction time if he was hit then that was something Alex would have to work on if not he could see how well Ryosuke did and go from there.

Ryosuke smiled to himself, remembering when he had first met Tsunetoki, how he had battled against giant, flaming bugs. He was particularly amused at how his past self reacted to the news of the mafia world. He had been so unconcerned, it was sort of funny. He had only been focused on helping Tsune, he hadn't cared much about how a ring caught on fire with a blue flame, or how it was able to open a box to unleash a pair of claws. All of that was out of his mind, and all he really cared about was his new friend.
He was fairly confused when one of the bodyguards shook his hand before joining the rest of his colleagues a way's away. What the heck was that about? he wondered, feeling again a bit insulted. He could hold his own against the Astore Decimo, he was rather sure as he lit up his ring and placed it in the small box, his weapon of choice coming out to place themselves on his hands and igniting with the Rain flame.. The flame was bright, the blue wavering in the wind but not in resolve. That little comment the bodyguard had made had boosted his determination to show him up. He wasn't about to let himself be beat around by a condescending jerk.
Ryosuke took up a fighting position as Alex began popping pills. It confused him, but he figured that it was his own style of fighting, or something. But after swallowing the pill, his forehead and his gloves lit up in flame, the flame of the Sky. After taking his own fighting stance, the Astore Decimo seemingly disappeared. All that was left was a blur of color and a sound similar to that of a hairdryer on max. Except more intense. Most probably wouldn't be able to follow him, but Ryosuke was capable of it, albeit it was difficult.
The sound was easiest to follow, so he focused primarily on that. As it curved around him, he followed it, the time to turn just about as long as the curve. Ryosuke's hands were naturally in a defensive position, guarding his chest and lower face. It was met with a punch from Alexander. The force of it sent him staggering backwards a bit, but he was well-grounded in his stance. He was virtually unharmed as he drew his left hand back to swipe at him, leaving no inhibitions. If he was going to fight Alexander, he might as well go all out. His bodyguards would be able to intervene easily enough if it got out of hand. [/size]

Alexander smiled as the boy reacted to the sound of his flames. That was great reaction time. Alex couldnt help but feel the drive coming from his flames was this to win to show him up... no it was to prove what the his guard had said to him. Well that didnt matter he wanted him to get stronger and use his emotion that gave great flames in battle it was what this was all about bringing out the power that Ryosuke and Alex himself had deep inside. Alex saw a opening when Ryosuke was getting ready to strike but instead of taking then opening Alexander wanted to see how strong his hard flame was He charged his fist and lunged in for the punch after hitting the ground.
Ryosuke and Alexanders met in the middle a clash of bright and powerful flames but before anyone could make a real strike Alexander was sent flying back. It wasn't Ryosuke's hit well it could have been partly that. Alexander got up from the dirt hole he had dug himself when he was sent flying back. He looked at Ryosuke his eyes still bright orange and his flames seemed even stronger. "Great... they had to kick in now.." He said in a very monotone voice it showed neither distress or excitement only a level tone. Alex looked at his hands and then back at his sparing partner. He would need to kick into gear and really control his flames if he was going to be any help to his Vongola friend. He got all the way out of the hole and stood there for a moment taking his stance ready to go at it again. He started to charge his flames in his hands preparing for a attack. Alexander finished Charging and smiled with a grin rushing at Ryosuke on as full running speed he couldnt wait flames.
"Astore Di Ottavo" He said before leaping into the air and pulled his fist right fist back getting ready to fire "Volpa Di Foco Rapida" As he finished calling the attack he shot his arms at a high speed rate shooting out intence flames as Ryosuke they shot at him like speeding bullets. Alex arm was getting tired, as he landed back on the ground Alex could only see dust and small pieces of dirt falling... alexander was worried that he had gone a bit over bored
