KHR: The Mafia War [Jakeozzy|Demon Shinobi]

My characters

Main: Ringo Sawada, Vongola XIII

"We'll bring them to justice... Every last one of them!"

Name: Ringo Sawada
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Faction: Vongola Famiglia
Flames: Sky
Personality: Good natured, morally sound, kind and calm in general. Despite being quite easily rattled by conflict and negativity, she can keep her cool and continue when she needs to.

Brief History:
The Vongola Family's bosses since the reign of Sawada Tsunayoshi have been a different breed of mafia leaders - strong and Just, unconcerned with power and control. While this means that traditional crime families turned away and broke ties, it brought similar families together under the Vongola's unity. A rift formed between those stereotypes of the mafia, and these new 'vigilante' types of families. Whilst some believed war was coming, the twelfth boss wasn't concerned. He was content, living a good life, with a wife and child in his hometown of Namimori along with his guardians.

His only child hasn't been trained for her future like most heirs to families, but just enough that she might have what she needs to defend herself until the day she'd need to take over her father's role and become Vongola Tredecimo, the thirteenth. Ringo isn't the most popular kid, but is a promising student at Nami High. She's only got a small circle of friends, some mafia-related, some not, but she cares for them all deeply.

Still unsure of what her future holds, she heads to school one day, not being able to contain the excitement of knowing what today was! The visit from Shimon! Once school was over, she headed to Vongola Base, where a childhood friend would be waiting to see her again! It would be just like old times...

KHR: The Mafia War [Jakeozzy|Demon Shinobi]

Part I - Baptised in Flames

"Priority target is heading east, leaving the high school building. Potentially moving to our identified entrance of the Vongola's main base... All units, maintain cover until the boss gives a green light."

The agent took his finger off his earpiece after he'd finished transmitting, and simply watched the school girl run around the next street corner. Within a second, another agent reported he had had eyes on her. She clearly wasn't aware of them, and seemed to be full of energy - no doubt excited for the apparent reunion. Disguised mafioso continued to stalk and watch discretely as young Miss Sawada ran through the peaceful streets of Namimori town...

----------

Ringo sprinted without pause, the excitement driving her all the way through town, up towards the shrine where she could use the closest entrance to get into the base. She usually wouldn't head there unless it was important, but today, there was nothing more important in the world! Mamoru was here, and so was the Shimon Family. After running up the steep steps to the shrine, Ringo was exhausted, but managed to carry on and enter, disappearing from the public eye.

She knew her way around and figured the meeting must be in the conference room. Not stopping for breath, she just carried on running through the underground halls, dodging the busy staff of Vongola Base. When she found the room, she burst in to find her father and Mr. Kozato in the middle of a greeting. She disregarded any kind of formality and found her friend amongst the many guardians straight away!

"Mam-...!" she tried to exclaim, but all that came out was heavy breathing. She put her hands on her head and tried to catch her breath, all the while turning a slight shade of red - the room went silent and all eyes were on her, but everyone seemed amused by the girl. At least they weren't offended! She kept watching her friend's reaction, cracking a smile at him after the shambles of an entrance. Ringo's father cleared his throat then, and chuckled as he gestured to her, "For those of you who don't know, this is my daughter. Improv as ever."

"Uh--" she composed herself as best she could, stood up straight and took a formal bow before the Simon Guardians, and Mamoru's father. "Excuse me! I'm Ringo Sawada... Welcome to Namimori, everyone!" she greeted them. Her gaze then quickly fell back to Mamoru. They had so much catching up to do.

Aria simply nodded along as her business partner planned out his tasks for the day. She'd still make the round for information, but it surely wouldn't take long. Balgruuf's men cooperated with her, as did many of the prominent citizens of Whiterun. Except Nazeem. Nazeem was not useful in the damned slightest, so she'd just avoid him. A Redguard with no weapon or skills to use one was a little sickening...

"I'll leave you do that, then. Might even come back with a bounty, if we're lucky! Imagine that... A job without any cannibal bloodsuckers or fanatic zealots." Aria mused as she turned to walk up the road. The first stop had to be the Bannered Mare.

----------

"I can be comforting, I am told. With magic. You should use me next time!" Yuki exclaimed with a smile. A soft green light whirled around her hands for a moment, then disappeared as she dispelled the magic again.

"What are we doing today? Do you know? Are we exploring? Is there a library in the city?"

The Elder Scrolls: Souls of Many Shades [Jake & Cronic]

Yuki seemed mostly confused... 'His'? Mr Crystalis? She spent a moment mulling it over, then began to imagine what might have happened. Her usual calm smile returned, and the magic dispelled. "I worried for a moment, ma'am." she sighed with relief.

-----

Aria shook her head slowly, that grin stayed for the moment. "Not another word~, and I won't tell anyone, either. ...But only because you're doing the dishes for me!" the redhead chirped. A snicker forced its way past her teeth, though she knew he'd get her back for not dropping it. Sliding her feet off the desk and sitting normally, she tried her best to be composed.

"Suppose some work might be a nice distraction... If you're up for it, I wanted to find out a few things. Maybe hit up the Mare, or talk to that Imperial steward the Jarl keeps around. Dragon cultists, vampires... And I need to find out where the Thane is."

"I was waiting for that... Sure hope it didn't wake the neighbours! Or Yuki, though I doubt that," Aria spoke with a smug grin on her face. Serena was surprisingly quiet and gentle in hauling the man upstairs late at night, but as with most nights, Aria was having trouble sleeping and opened an eye to watch. It was a strange sight to behold, but kind of adorable?

"Mornin', lover." Aria teased, "You're looking flustered!"

Meanwhile upstairs, the young miko had indeed shot awake at the sound of Serena's scream! Fearing the worst, she bravely prepared to face any kind of for that might threaten the woman who'd saved her! Looking downstairs, she noticed an injured Cronic, his face... burned red? Aria was just out of sight. The girl ran into Serena's room then, icy spells ready to cast, "Miss Serena?"

"...Vampires?" Loren questioned, though the assassin had already disappeared. He paced a little more, thinking the threat over, and then left his office to find the captain of the guard. The Thalmor couldn't be taken by surprise, therefore, the night watch would be staffed just as much as the day's. Even with a hand around the Empire's throat, Skyrim was proving a most difficult beast to tame.

----------

Aria yawned after sitting down, and threw her legs up on the desk as usual. "I'll wash everything in the morning... I need to sleep off all that gorgeous cuisine~" she chuckled. A stretch later, and with a similarly drowsy cat coming to sleep on her, Aria closed her eyes and fell into a deep food coma.

"Unfortunate..." Loren replied, though he didn't sound that bothered by the revelation. He took his time strolling around his desk, to sit in his chair covered with warm furs, relaxing there as the assassin awaited the contract. He motioned to the chair opposite him, but figured the dark brother was only interested in one thing.

"What I need is to make an arrangement. The man I need killed is the head of a rebel group here in Skyrim. Intelligence hasn't turned up anything so far, and if we haven't uncovered their whereabouts, I wouldn't imagine your people to have turned up anything either. The man has been at this game of hide and seek since he was a child, you see..." Loren explained, pausing and sliding a few sheets of paper the assassin's way. "Haruyoshi Sano is the contract, worth thirty thousand septims. If the Brotherhood is feeling particularly bloodthirsty, every other rebel head is worth an extra five thousand."

He gave the agent of death a calm smile and pointed to the documents he'd provided. "I've set up a dead drop just outside Dawnstar for this contract. Any intelligence gathered will be there to pick up at the start of every standard working week. I require heads for proof when kills are made."

"I provide the who and where, and you deliver results..."

----------

Aria nodded and sighed heavily, "Make that two, I'm stuffed!" she said happily, yawning and heading to her desk to get some sleep. She bumped Cronic on the shoulder as she passed him, "The master impresses again."

Yuki shifted off her chair and turned to Cronic, giving him a short bow and a pleased smile in appreciation. "You cook remarkably well, sir" she complimented before departing to the spare room upstairs.

"Sweet Mother, Sweet Mother... Why must your child take so long to arrive...?"

In a candle lit room in the depths of a forgotten Nordic castle, the tall Altmer paced slowly and methodically, waiting. It'd been two days since the Black Sacrement had been performed in this very room. But, it was stormy and horrible outside. Many of the Thalmor guarding the walls had instead opted to find shelter, build fires and take the odd watch before recovering. The far North of Skyrim was inhospitable tonight. Loren began to wonder if the 'child' would even reach him, but then, they were bound to. It wasn't a matter of if, but when.

Loren gazed around his office, noting the arrangements. Book shelves full to the brim with knowledge, his desk where he'd constantly deal with affairs concerning justice and enforcement. Letters from Jarls, from guards, from the Dominion... He had tabs on everything worth knowing, except the whereabouts of certain rebel elements. And that was why the Brotherhood had been called upon.

----------

Aria nodded as she ate. She and Yuki were visibly slowing down, having had their fill of the feast.

"Its in the Rift so, yeah. And the place is abandoned to my knowledge. If anyone moved in, I kinda need to throw them out. Or kill 'em if they don't comply! Its basically a shrine to a great man."

Yuki began to yawn as Aria spoke, apparently missing the talk of killing people. She was beat, and after a meal like that it'd be easy to doze off.

"Actually," Aria muffled with her mouth full. She gulped down the vegetables and exhaled before continuing, "I do know this one place that's really beautiful. I could take us there tomorrow. Master's own retreat..." she explained with a little wonderment in her tone.

The stray cat started to rub against Cronic's leg, purring loudly as its nose twitched, inhaling the aromas wafting off the table above. It glanced at Aria as she mentioned her teacher, but quickly lost interest and kept begging with quiet meows.

"Almost makes me want to go camping..." Aria mused, "...But the province has seen better days, safety-wise. Still, it'd be nice if we could find our own peaceful little spot."

Yuki nodded along at the suggestion, but then immediately fell back into feasting. She and Serena hadn't had the best trip to Whiterun, after all!

"Yeah... A vacation," Aria chuckled, "That's what we need."
