• The Hidden Happiness of the Future

Yuki has learned from Reborn that the two young guardians will be recovering for 13 days from the wounds and trauma they got from the beat up they got from Gamma, the owner of the Lightning Mare Ring. The girls also understood and took care of them.

However, Yuki only checked on them from time to time because she have most of her time on Hibari's foundation than the Vongola hideout which made some of them confused on why the girl is sticking with the scary man, but Reborn said to them that Yuki will be better if she is with him so they let it be.

One day of those 13 days, Reborn entered the foundation of Hibari Kyoya. Sitting in front of him, wearing a grey yukata he commissioned from Giannini once he learned that there are more extra fabric that is the same with his anti-non-trinisette radiation suit. But he was said to be still careful and not go outside because it might be not that effective.

Which... is an insult to the Ellen Bloodline unknowingly to them.

"Why are you here, baby?" Hibari ask the infant in front of him, while they have tea. Reborn smirked, "It seems like Yuki is really attached to you."

"I would not say it like that. She just likes to be noisy. Like a fly." For some reason the author imagined Yuki's head on a fly body that keeps on going around Hibari while chanting 'senior!'. Then she was smacked by a fly swatter.

(A: is... Is that a foreshadowing!?!?! *shock pikachu face* | Y: *smack the Author* the f*ck no! )

Reborn only smiled, taking his tea cup and drink from it, "Tell me the truth, Hibari. That girl is the Snow Guardian of Vongola Decimo, am I right?" He looked at Hibari with knowing eyes. He is sure the future Hibari knows... After all,

Hide behind the Cloud.

The older man look at him indifferently, looking at the eyes of the confident and who knows it already hitman, "Yes. She is." He wouldn't hide it. Since Reborn asked and already know it from all his investigations and observations, there is no point hiding it. The only reason why Hibari still hasn't told anyone is just because no asked him, that's all.

But instead of being happy, Reborn looks indifferent to it and feeling complicated about it. He knew it. Yuki is the Snow Guardian. But he doesn't want that girl to be part of Tsunayoshi's mafia life. It is already enough that she knows about the Vongola and it's real form, but she doesn't need to enter the battlefield.

But being a guardian, she needs to. She have to. She needs to protect Tsunayoshi and be by his side. But again, he remembered the duty of the Snow Guardian.

Only appear in times of need. Hide behind the Cloud and only the Sky can see.

Maybe she doesn't need to come out after all. Just to stay behind Hibari, but Tsunayoshi needs to know that she is the Snow Guardian. He'll only tell the boy if he ask.

Reborn doesn't doubt Yuki's strength.. He once seen how the girl fought with the demon prefect and that boy didn't even laid a hand on her. She didn't even sweat. It is no argue, that Yuki Kazehaya is the strongest guardian that Tsunayoshi have right now. But he have to say it's Kyoya Hibari because they don't know about her position.

Yuki must have know her position too... But she doesn't say it. The only meaning to it is probably because she doesn't want to fight. Reborn doesn't want her to fight too. Yuki is the only treasure of Camilla that is left to him right now.

"Are you planning on telling the others?" Hibari ask. Though, he does know that Yuki doesn't want that to happen ever.

"No." Reborn close his eyes, "I want Yuki to stay out of the battle. She knows when to come out when she is needed. After all, that is her job as the Snow Guardian, right?"
