In A Dark Woods

The night before the raid: Lal, Hibari, Reborn, and Ryohie with Kusakabe at the foundation.

"That's what it's like for professionals. Certainly is the priority, no chances are taken... Hmph, an estimate that says we're bound to fail unless a miracle happens, is it..?'

"Keep this from Sawada and the others or they'll lose motivation." Lal said, and Ryohie added, "Even if we shock them about this now, there won't be any other options..."

Kusakabe agreed.

"So the figures are meaningless now..." That tensed the atmosphere, "If they were real pros, the estimates on fighting power and the odds would matter. But I think it's dumb to include them in our calculations, right when they're at the peak of their growth. The things that can't be translated into numbers... that's where their strength lies."

Hibari place his tea cup down, "If you doubt the victory of those kids, then why don't you just make Yuki Kazeaya join the battle." 

His statement shocked them. Lal was the first one to speak, "Can that girl fight?" Kusakabe sweat as she looks at the Lal, "If I am being honest, that girl is stronger than the 10 years before Kyoya Hibari... Right now.. She might be the strongest person from the people who was transported from the past." 

Ryohie close his eyes. Lal look at Reborn, "Why do I not know about this!? We could have trained her!" 

"I won't allow Yuki to enter the battle." 

"What!?"

Hibari look at Reborn and then look away closing his eyes, "Why don't you enter." The people inside the room was confused at first except for Reborn, until a girl in blue yukata slide the door, "Hello." Yuki smiles at them.

Reborn smiles, "Yuki, will you join Tsuna and the other tomorrow?"

"No." 

Lal was taken aback, "This is a crucial war to have you all back to the past! If you can fight and stronger than them, you are needed to help." Yuki merely smiled at her, "Yes, it is. I said no because Tsunayoshi and the others doesn't need my help."

"She's saying that Tsuna and the others will win, Lal."

Lal frowned, "You are talking like you know about the future,"

Yuki smiles at them meaningfully, "If you need my help for tomorrow, then just call my name." and left with Hibari's gaze following her.

"You seems to trust her, Reborn." Lal commented and look at Reborn, "She looks like Camilla, don't you think?" Of course, Lal knows about the girl. Camilla is a Vongola after all, someone she served under and have to protect.

It seems like, as Yuki grows, she resembles her mother.... What if she doesn't have Lucas's mana on her flow? Her hair would totally be sky blue just like her mother's, and anyone who sees her will think no doubt that she is Camilla's daughter. But right now.... that mana of Lucas is slowly disappearing... Currently, the sky blue tint of her hair is just at the end of it, but now on one-third of her hair.

"You will not be with them?" Hibari asks as he stares at the girl in front of him, eating the dinner she prepared for the three of them. Though, Kusakabe is eating on the other room. The young girl merely looked at him, "Senior, do you believe that Tsunayoshi will win this?"

"What do you believe?"

"They will."

Hibari didn't said anything, but Yuki felt him agreeing silently. That brought a smile across her lips and giggles. But... that is not the expression of Yuki in her mind, 'If ever something get out of the plot... I'll take care of it..'
