Chapter 5: ch 4 Sky meets a Storm
Time skip 3 years
Issei Hyoudou Age 12
Issei was doing this morning run when all of a sudden his ring started to glow More importantly it was the Sky ring The color of the ring was flashing red meaning the storm has finally arrived.
He then used the ring of sea to transport him to the storm and that's where he saw Akeno himejima as a 13-year-old being attacked by fallen angels and her ex-family.
He went in without thinking twice.
Akeno pov
Just as when I was about to get attacked with those swords. I felt an intense heat coming from me like something was calling me I had no idea what's happening but all I could do was just pray for rescue, for salvation, for hope.
Flash
Something orange race right past me.
And that feeling I had intensified when I met him and saw those orange flames of his to me they were so beautiful so mesmerizing I couldn't look away I knew they wouldn't hurt me but I knew that they were destroy anything and everything they could if anything were to happen to whoever cared about.
When I saw him fight against all of them by himself. Someone who looked a little bit younger than me was such skill and fighting spirit it mesmerized me and it showed me the true extent of those flames of his. And it was beautiful.
I saw as you flew up into a sky I saw as he blew up their armory the weapons their magic All they did was just curse and had to retreat within realization came back to me my mother I had to ask him for his help to save my mother.
Thank you so much but I need your help even more right now to save my mother. I begged him.
Only did was nod and and moved his hand forward to lead the way so I did
I was so nervous that I was panicking point where I was overdoing things I was so stiff that I could not breathe that I felt like I could not even understand what's going on why hasn't Daddy came back from me and Mom why didn't he save us did he abandon us. These thoughts were running through my head as I was heading towards my mother
Then when we got there my mother was stabbed in the heart and in several other places she was having a hard time breathing she was bleeding out I was scared I didn't know what to do but the young boy that was next to me ran to her side and then something else happened instead of the bright orange flames another flame appeared at different kind of orange flame a reddish orange this one gave off a sense of security meant to block off anything and everything I didn't find it as mesmerizing as the orange one though it did not mean anything else but it was excitement that flashed through me.
What are you going to do with Mom! I asked loudly.
He said he was giving a part of his life force into her and he asked me if if I wanted to give some of mine too I didn't think twice about it and I went straight to him asking what I needed to do.
He just smoked at me and said grab my shoulder so I did.
Then like a flash of energy something went right through my body it felt overwhelming it felt amazing it felt like I could destroy anything I want pure destruction pure disintegration was flowing through me I was scared but I was also really excited for some reason.
Then I felt when I closed my eyes I saw bright red flame something that scream to me that this was mine and mine alone and this was my home.
Then in record time I saw my mother's injuries all vanish like they were never even there they were just a little scars from there and I felt a little winded but I was still strong and fine though you look like you was a bit worn out.
And he said this to me.
So I finally found a storm, my storm he whispered but I could hear and I saw the small smile that looked like it had found a family
Issei pov
After saving Shuri I felt a bit worn out even though that I was using the earth ring for the extra vitality and added immortality though I did draw upon Akeno' flames for a bit of energy so I can jump start the process though all wells that ends well I guess. I thought
Well I'm just going to sit here for a bit. I said to her with a little grin on my face
She just started to cry so I could tell this was not a sadness but of happiness and that warmed my heart.
But then an anger look on her face and whispered.
why didn't he come to save us. she said.
Who? I asked.
My father. she spat out with venom.
Well I'm going to have to nip this in the bud I thought to myself with the sigh
You know this was probably just the first an assassination right you probably having to deal with a couple of other guys trying to take him out as well right now. I responded.
Her look froze when I mention that.
She looked at me like what was I saying.
Now any other reincarnator would probably try to manipulate this but I'm just going to tell her like it is because I for one want her to have a happy family after all family is the most important thing anyone can have from my experiences at least.
Oh well I'm just saying that if this was this many people that I took out was at least around 20 to 30 people how many people do you think he's having to fight off right now because he just got word of it He's probably on some other secret mission because I can feel that this place is a fallen.
She then looked at me like I was crazy.
I responded with this.
You do know I can sense your auras right you feel half human a half fallen. Meaning you're a hybrid which don't get me wrong it's all fine and good. Because I can sense they go truly do love him even now when you're mad and I can sense from your mother right now that she's still loves both of y'all. I said with the grin.
She then looked at me like she was actually first time seeing me which in all truth was probably that cuz I felt the connection already we've already linked a sky has met its storm and I couldn't be more proud to have a good storm.
So what are those flames that I saw it was a magic? she asked me
I'll explain it to you when your mom wakes up okay well I'm going to rest for a bit and take a breather. Expanded half-heartedly
How did you even get here it was supposed to be barrier protecting us anyway she questioned yet again
I suppose I could answer this one right off the bat
Well to tell you the truth I could feel that you were a potential so I thought oh well and what do you know You're my storm we bonded after all you know that little tugging in your chest that you're feeling right now.she nodded
That means that you're connected to me Right now I can feel when you're happy you're sad You're emotions but you can also do the same if you focus and you'll be able to tell what's going on after you became one of my elements and how explain all of that when your mom wakes up. I said
She nodded
Akeno pov
I thought long and hard on what he said to me and I thought about what he meant that my dad might be even fighting off to come here right now or he's just found out and it's barely coming out both are perfectly reasonable but in my heart I'm still mad I can't focus right now I want to explode I want to destroy I want to break everything.
He then looked at me and patted my head which might look weird to someone outside but right now it calmed me down and it felt right.
So now I'm just waiting for my mother to wake up so that I can hear about what he meant by elements, guardians and most importantly. how I'm connected to him now and forever.
Though I did ask him why did his flames change color though his response was this
Oh I just use a different version of it he said in differently.
I thought to myself a different version so it's another form of it.
40 minutes later
Shuri POV
I woke up to a weird site I saw a boy that I never met before with my daughter just sitting in front of each other.
Then memory started flash through me we were getting attacked and I was stabbed multiple times from my family and fallen angels I thought silently
Excuse me young man but who are you I ask
Oh the name is Issei Hyoudou pretty lady he said with the grin
I chuckled softly at that
My your smooth talker aren't you I said teasing
He flat out smile now.
My God he's adorable I thought amused
So do I owe you for saving us I asked softly
Don't worry about it you don't owe me anything but I do owe you an explanation he said with the strain smile.
I don't know why but I feel this will be amusing for me I thought
Well let me start from the beginning he said
I first start to explain how I got here to begin with it's because of her. he pointed out my daughter.
So when I felt something tugging me inside my body and soul.
He then started to explain about the dying will flames and the dying will ring
I was amazed that humans had this much power inside them at one point but it explained his grandfather gathered up all of it and put it in a separate space leaving a hundred years of power until he was born granting him these abilities and the flames he explained.
He also explained what a guardian was and what it means for them he explained to me that my daughter was his storm and he was her Sky and when I saw when he had in his hand it was a ring that had a ruby in it with a tornado with a cloud just right above it and a lightning bolt that ran underneath.
I asked if I could hold the ring and he did I checked it out and it looked magnificent it was so beautiful that no words could explain it just calling a beautiful would be an insult That's how I felt when I saw this ring but I knew that just by holding it I could feel immense pressure giving it off it was telling me to back off before it would unleashed power so I handed it right back to him amazed.
He then let out a cocky smirk and said that the rings choose their owners but they also have to match my personality to an extent and what I view on family is what I feel my guardians as my family now and he told me all other secrets about the guardians and their weapons the first generation he told me that was started by his great ancestor someone who's probably over 200 years old at this point and they were trapped in the ring but those were the old rings he said.
He then went on to explain how his grandfather destroyed the original set but nothing can just truly destroy the set it will just take a new form but since the rings were already made to take over for the Vongola rings The other rings followed and formed into other rings taken on the attributes of the world itself.
He also sends the pressure from me as well but it was mist. He's told me that when I missed is nearby they can create illusions making reality and illusion into a wobble mess for any person who is affected by it except him he explained that he had something called a hyper intuition which allows him to never be lied to to see through all illusions and falsehoods he explained to me other benefits of his bloodline which started to sound like he was one of those demons or devils that Baraqiel used to tell me about them he also explained to me that there were some humans with the special abilities besides sacred gears users.
He then told me that if I wanted to move into his house with my daughter which I seriously thought about he even explained that he made a deal with the Shinto gods that if anyone were to harm anyone that he deemed as his own or a part of his world he will not hesitate to destroy everything he said with the calm smile
I looked at this young man that I thought was a boy but I realized that he was truly an extraordinary person but I can't help but wonder what made you and my daughter connect so fast I had to ask
Family is what he told me and looking his eyes was pure I could tell that much at least he was not lying nor did he hold any ill will when you mentioned the word family he looked like someone who lost his family more times than he can count but he looked like someone always searching for a new family a new home.
I accept is what I said he gave me the most beautiful smile I've ever seen in my entire life right next to my daughter I couldn't help but blush and when I turned my to see my daughter she was blushing and I thought I could devour them both I thought with a blush intensifying
Is it okay if I tell Baraqiel where we're going I asked seriously
That's okay if you tell him he said with a smile but I feel like he's going to be one of those overprotectives dads that will try to grab me with a shotgun at my head he chuckled
I laughed at that while my daughter too
So how will I explain it to my husband then any ideas I said mirthfully
Well here's an idea say that I'm a friend of y'all so when he will come over at my house he'll see you everything all right and plus you won't overreact until you tell him apart the guardians and all that
Be that handed over the ring to my daughter asking if do you want to be in my guardian he said seriously all laughter gone.
And when I saw him look deep into her eyes seriously my daughter nod a yes and I saw the resolute look in my daughter's eye I couldn't be more proud.
