(25th October 1993,Italy ,Sicily airport ).
Sayuri was waiting outside the airport waiting for Shamel, frowning slightly. She told him she would arrive at 11a.m and it's 11:44 and until now no sign of him , what took him this long .
Adding to her frustration is the fact that anyone who is passing by is giving her curious glances , who would blame them. She is just a 5 years old girl waiting there without any guardians around her , she won't be surprised if someone approaches her with bad motives .
It seems she has jinxed herself and here he comes a tall man wearing a suit and sunglasses in the middle of the day , yeah his look screamed suspicious and mafioso can her day get any better note the sarcasm .
" Are you lost little girl , let's go look for your parents ! " The man said to her ,and she just looked at him with a blank expression. She sighed mentally what could she expect? This is Italy after all the land of mafia and criminals .
" Don't worry Mister my dad is here " she said to him pointing at shamel who was running toward them .
" O-oh I see T-hen I will go " the man said, panicking and running away .
She sweat drops at that ,well at least she won't deal with him herself .
"You were late " she stated at shamel switching to Japanese who was taking his breath , it seemed like he ran all the way here .
" traffic " that was his excuse but then he remembered the man who ran away before he arrived then asked her " by the way who was that ?"
" Oh I don't know him, I think he was trying to kidnap me a while ago before you , came thanks for the save " she said with an expressionless face .
" How can you exactly act calm in this situation ??" Shamel asked half shouting .
She just shrugged her shoulders at him .
" Ma I'm hungry let's go I've waited a long time " she said walking ahead he can't argue with her he sighed and followed
Sayuri .
( 25th October 1993, Italy , Shamel appartement )
The two took a cab and they finally arrived at Shamel appartement .
It was a simple one smaller and cosy she didn't expect that judging by his personality she expects to find it Empty and filthy well it seems she was wrong ( though her intention say otherwise pointing at the fact that he immediately started cleaning after their call ended, ) her intention are useful sometimes , when they didn't gave her a headache of course .
There are only two tiny rooms a kitchen and a small living room in an Italian style .
" You have a nice appartement " she complimented him .
"Thanks..." he responded, rubbing his head, nervousness evident on his face .
let's just say that he was really frightened knowing that she will come , he had previous experience with the fedora baby ( Reborn ) receiving his wrath isn't something he want to remember ,and he can't stop comparing the two , they have the same characteristics , like they can read you like the back of their hand just by looking at you that really terrified him to the core well at least Sayuri isn't sadistic as the so said greatest hitman and Shamel was really thankful for that .
" You can take the room on the left side " he said to her pointing at the room , she nodded at him ,she entered the room taking her backpack off and set it up on the bed .
She only brought the backpack since she will stay only for a week , to avoid her father's men knowing that she come here to Italy even if they won't come until next month better to be safe than sorry , she even managed to convince her mother not to tell her father about her small trip here as for the passport she created a new identity for that so they won't track her , her intention told her that this won't be the last time she will come to Italy maybe next time she will come , she will create an illusion of her If she want to stay longer another fact she have to tell Shamel it's seem she doesn't only have sky flames but the other too , she will tell him later .
" Then after you finish change, come to eat " he said leaving her alone in the room to her thoughts , how she will tell him in a way he won't freak out ? .
She sighed going to the bathroom and changed to a short and an orange hoodie .
After that she exited her room and went to the living room .
Entering the living room she spotted Shamel sitting on the couch going through some papers while eating a piece of
pizza .
She raised an eyebrow at that " Really ? Pizza for lunch ? "
" I don't know how to cook .." he said, shrugging his shoulders. She can't argue with him since she also doesn't know how to cook even in her past life .
She too took a piece of pizza and settled herself on the couch eating it without complaints . She takes the first bite ...
" This is delicious!! "she exclaimed like a child receiving his gifts on Christmas .
Her companion chuckled .
" Isn't it " agreeing with her .
' she still has a childlike part of her after all ' he thought .
" By the way, Shamel ... how can I say this ? Well it's better if I show you ..." she said hesitated to tell him the truth, in the end she decided to just show him and see what happens .
Taking a deep breath then suddenly 7 flames with different colours came to life burning around her .
She looked at Shamel who was watching with a blank expression as she was about to call him. He fell on the ground more like fainted from the shock and hitting his head on the table in the process of falling .
" Ouch ...He fainted , it was a bad idea after all ..." She said, chuckling nervously .
" Well then let's wait until he wake up ...then I will eat all the pizza alone " she said taking another piece of pizza and begin eating while looking at the sleeping shamel .
( 27th October 1993,Italy , Sicily , Shamel appartement ) .
It's been two days since Sayuri came to Italy, in these two days and after she showed Shamel that she has all the flames, so he began teaching her how to use her mist flames and making illusions .
And today he wouldn't train her since he has work .
" Morning your are going somewhere," She asked him drinking her cup of espresso .
" Work .." he answered briefly .
" Assassination ?"
He shake his head " No this time I have a patient to cure "
Definitely a girl she thought to herself she already know about Shamel and his refusal to treat men which she founded amusing .
" Can I come ? " She asked him .
He sighed rubbing his temples as he stated " even if I told you not you will follow me anyway "
" I will take that as a yes then " she said, her eyes twinkling with amusement .
With that the two headed to where Shamel's patient is .
( 27th October , Italy , Sicily , private clinic. )
As Shamel entered the room where his patient is he left Sayuri outside telling her not to go away .
But Sayuri isn't someone who will stay still in the same place so she decided to take a stroll around the neighborhood .
She keeps walking around watching her surroundings with awe. this is the first time in Italy she finds it fascinating children playing around with the ball, adults chatting with laughter filled the air. It was lively even despite their poverty .
While walking she noticed a boy maybe older then her by two or three years running down the ally followed by three men cursing behind him .
' what a colorful language they have ' Sayuri though .
She sighed as she decided to ignore what she saw but her intention otherwise , forming a headache that won't go unless she followed the boy which she did .
So now she was watching as the boy with red eyes noted to herself , he was struggling while fighting the grown men.
she was surprised that he managed to knock one of them and now he was fighting the other one.
But then she spotted the third one taking a knife from his pocket. He was planning to stab him and stopped by Sayuri who knocked him out hitting him with a rock unfolded with cloud flames.
And that left the second one who was taken care of by the boy as he looked at her with disbelief. Well she just knocked a grown man with just a rock adding the fact that she is just 5 years old a girl nonetheless that's something you don't see everyday .
" oye are you Okey ? " She decided to break the silence between them and to bring him out of the shock .
The shock on his face turned from shock to a scowl .
" Why did you interfere ?!!" he asked in anger , it seemed like he wasn't happy with her help .
' so he is the tsundere type ' she thought with amusement .
"You are welcome I just saved your life " she said pointing at the knife he widened his eyes as he realized what she meant .
"Tch ..." he said averting his
eyes away she just chuckled .
" He is here !!!" Someone shouted pointing at them and followed by others ,they are most likely a part from the men that attacked the boy who she didn't catch his name .
Before she say anything the boy grabbed her hand and they started running away from them and the game of the cat and mouse begin who though that her coming with Shamel will lead to this much trouble .
