• The Understanding Of The Snow

'I'm bored...' Yuki thought laying on her couch with her hand above her stomach. She looks around and sighed.

Yuki's house is at the outskirts of the town as it is quite big with 7 rooms, 5 bedrooms being somehow already being occupied on her knowledge and 2 bedrooms as guestrooms; 1 kitchen that is spacious with dining room; a living room that is really spacious that Yuki sometimes roll on it for fun. The living room have a porch outside, just slide the jalousie glass pane that have acacia frame and two bathrooms. The interior of the house is quite in shambles but that's how they want it to be.

The living room is acacia wood and green paint, the couches are really soft that you'll somehow feel that you are being absorb inside. There's also a coffee table at the center of the couches. A TV in front that Yuki don't really use. Behind those couches is the porch. South is the door, west is the porch, east is the t.v and at the center, the couches and table. There are also some pictures on the wall and plants, especially on the north.

'Should I annoy Hibari-senpai?' She thought with sparkling eyes then it disappeared, 'Nah, he's probably busy at the moment... beating up someone, that is.' She sweat.

She blankly looks at the ceiling that have a chandelier, "He saw that didn't he..." She mumbled and closed her eyes, "My expression..." She added remembering that happening on the rooftop. He doesn't seem to care because he didn't ask anything around, she's really glad.

Her hand travel from her stomach to her chest, where a ruby pendant is noticeable. The pendant is a real ruby stone carved into a tear drop's shape. On its left is a gold crescent moon, it has 3 small sapphire stone between the linings, each end is attached to the bottom and top of the ruby. A gold chain/cord and clasp.

It's a pretty pendant and Yuki's precious, priceless treasure. There's also a ring with the pendant but that's another story.

Afternoon,

Yuki decided to purchase some ingredients she didn't know she'll need. She was planning in cooking something for dinner but she lacks ingredients so here she is.

"Let go!!"

Her ears perk up as she knows whose voice is that. She looks below to where the voice is and saw Tsunayoshi pulling something off of his leg that is Lambo who is hugging his leg tightly. She saw Tsunayoshi's troubled expression and somehow want to help, 'It won't hurt, right?'

She walks down the green down, "Sawada-kun!" Her voice caught the brunette's attention and look at her, "Ka-Kazehaya-san! Why... are you here?" He asks nervously.

"I was buying something." She smiled and look at his leg, "You seem to be in trouble."

"No, no. This is nothing." Tsunayoshi said and pull Lambo out of his leg again but he won't budge, making Tsunayoshi sigh, 'I look so uncool...' He thought looking at Yuki and notice that she is finding something from her bag.

The ravenette crouch to Lambo, "Do you want some candy?" She asks nicely. Lambo open his eyes and tilt his head to see a really pretty lady, "Lambo-san want a candy!" He spoke.

Yuki smiled, he took the bait, "Then, if you let go of big brother's leg, I'll give it to you." She showed a bag of grape candy. Lambo squealed in delight and jump off Tsunayoshi's leg and to Yuki, "Give me! Give me!" He said with sparkling eyes. Those are his favorite brand of grape candy.

Yuki smiled at the enthusiasm and give him the full bag of candies, "Here, don't eat too much, ok?"

Tsunayoshi who is watching in the sideline look at Yuki with amazement, 'As expected of Kazehaya-san!' He exclaimed in his mind. Yuki smiled at Lambo who is opening the candies, 'How innocent... to think that this boy is in the mafia... maybe I should punish them.' She thought behind her smile.

"Tha... Thank you, Kazehaya-san." Tsunayoshi said slowly, embarrassed that she have to help him.

"It's fine. I'm glad I could help." Yuki said and look at him, "Is he your brother?" She asks with curious eyes. Tsunayoshi immediately shook his head, "No, no. He's... my cousin! Yes, cousin." He excused. He couldn't just say Lambo is an assassin or in the mafia, and definitely not Reborn's friend.

Yuki looks at him for a moment, making him more nervous, "I see!" She smiled. Tsunayoshi sighed in relief and look at Lambo, "Hey, Lambo, thank Kazehaya-san for your candies."

He got ignored. Yuki sweat, 'He is still a child, after all.' "Its fine, Sawada-kun. I'll take my leave here." She bowed and walk away.

'I can't believe Kazehaya-san stop here and talked to me.' Tsunayoshi thought.

Yuki walks to the school entrance. Today, she wore her glasses again. She secretly glance above to see a silverette and a baby talking there, looking at someone. She immediately took her eyes off them and continued to walk.

After class,

The gentle breeze blows some black hair strands the ends with sky blue. Blue eyes looking below to see a brunette, a male with dark brown hair, silverette and baby with fedora.

Not soon after, explosion surrounded the school. While she's just watching them with blank eyes.

'Tsuna really cares for his friends, like Yamamoto. He doesn't want to drag them into the mafia. He shows it in an assertive way but if you listen to him and be in his place, you'll understand. He really cares to for the people around him.' She thought with a soft smile, 'A really assertive way.'

Well, Reborn is not a normal baby from the start. Lambo is just a kid but still in the mafia. Gokudera in first glance is already dangerous, add Bianchi in the future. He just wants to get away from those dangers and he thinks he is no-good. So, if he is in the mafia, he will be immediately killed. That's the reason for his assertiveness. He is scared that he'll be killed anytime because of all the people around him and might even drag someone's life with him.

And the loudest explosion was heard. Yuki looks at where a big cloud of smoke is gathering and saw two people appearing from it, still standing from that impact.

Yuki whistled, "As expected from the baseball star." She said and turn around, "The Rain Guardian of Sawada Tsunayoshi." She smiled, "You'll be a great guardian."

~❆~

Summer... Yuki's most hated season. She likes spring and autumn more because they are chill and not hot.

The said girl is soaking herself on her own pool wearing an oversize t-shirt and shorts, 'Why is it so freaking hot on summer!?' She whined on her mind and dive to the water.

Morning,

'We will make rice balls huh...' Yuki thought while walking to school. Today she changed her hairstyle to two ponytails without her glasses for her not to get too much sweaty on the middle of the day because of the temperature.

'Time to skip class, I guess!' She thought sparkling with delight.

And that day, some of the male students of the class weep.

Yuki sat on the rooftop again, her back leaning on the wall that the shadow is hiding her, sitting on the floor and her legs bend to her body while she hugs them; her face buried between. She left her head when she heads the door of the rooftop closes and footsteps can be heard.

'It's Hibari.' She thought, knowing who only have those sound of footsteps and buried her face again between her body and legs, 'He won't notice me here... They never will.' She thought and close her eyes.

"Live for me..."

'I'm trying you, idiot.'

••••••••••
A/N: Yuki always wears black or white gloves (base on her clothes) whenever she goes out of her house and if going somewhere (like market) that is not the school (because gloves are forbidden in the school grounds - Hibari)
