Chapter 4

Yuki P.O.V

Today is a great day I can move around without and attack from my sickness. So, I'm running around Namimori while doing errands from Mama.

Mama said that we are going to have a feast because Papa come home with a guest. So I decided to kill my boredom by doing errands.

Mama look very worried to let me go alone but when I said that I will meet up with Kyo-kun after three years she let me go.

So, right now I'm walking to Kyo-kun house. After I'm done with my errands of course. Kyo-kun also said that he have a present for me yet he won't said what is it.

I can imagine his smirk when he said he won't said it. He sometimes like to tease me knowing that I don't know how to tease him back.

Thinking about that silly thing make me arrive at his home unconsciously. "Yuki." I look at the gate and find Kyo-kun he become more taller and his face become more manly. He is now lost almost all his baby fat that make him adorable.

I smile looking at his face. It's been so long I meet him that make me miss him very much. I jump to hug him

and reach my hand to him ignore formalities that I usually put up.

"Kyo-kun how are you? Are you well? How your days in country outside? And.." I keep asking him the questions that have been bugging me for three years while he gone.

"Yuki."

I snap out from my trace and I find my face close to his manly one. I about to move back but he put his hand on my back and hug me firmly making unable to leave from his hold.

"Kyo-kun?" I become confuse because Kyo-kun never show me care like this outside a private room and it also very rare of him to express care. But his body certainly warm. As I think that my body unconsciously snuggle closer to his.

"Yuki, I'm back." He release me from the warm hug make me sad a little bit but when he warp his hand to mine I can still feel the warmth he give to me.

I look up to his face and give him my sweetest smile "Welcome back Kyoya."

He give me a small almost unnoticed smile before it turn into his poker face. "Yuki, I have a gift to you."

"Hmn? What is it?" I release his hand and walk beside him.

He give me his smirk and said "Follow me." He took off inside his house leaving me confuse for a moment before following him inside.

He lead me to his garden, he look around then start to whistle then he wait. I about to ask him but then I hear a rustled from the bush near me.

I walk near the source and find an adorable blue fox pup with a black diamond on it forehead. It look at me fearful making me took it gently while give my kind smile.

It stop shivering in fear and accept my kindness by snuggle into my hug then it feel asleep. "Kyo-kun why this fox is in your garden?"

"Hn, I found it on China shivering under the snow. So, I brought it with me remembering that you like adorable creatures. It don't open up with me or my father with whatever I do yet you just tamed it easily. Animals really do loves you Yuki."

I just look at the adorable pup and smile at it "Thanks Kyo-kun, this pup is very cute. Hey, why don't we name it together?"

"A good name huh. How about Nao?"

"Nao? Why honest?"

"He truthfully accept you without lies and he object me with passion. Its a sign that that pup is honest with it's feeling."

"Nao..., it's have a good ring. I decide this pup name is Nao. My little guardian." I pet Nao head waking him up.

"Nao let's go to your new home." Nao look at me confuse but he give me a nod. He jump of my lap and walk beside me.

"Kyo-kun thanks for Nao." I wave him to say my farewell while he only give me a small nod and his classic smirk.

I walk back home with the errand Mama told me and Nao beside me sometimes let out a cute 'yip' to take my intentions to him.

My journey home is very fun because of Nao. When in home I find my Papa shoes along with another pair that smaller than his. Its seem the guest is back.

"Mama! I'm home!" I yell and run to the kitchen where Mama usually been. "Welcome back Yu-chan how your errands doing?" Mama then welcome me with her sweet and kind smile.

"It's fine. Mama look at this." I took Nao and lay him on my head so Mama don't have to stare down to much. "This is Nao. Kyo-kun give him to me when he found Nao in the outside country."

"My, my what a cute dog is he." She pat Nao head making Nao yip happily. "Mama, Nao is a fox not a dog." I give her a stare she said sorry then she told me to meet my brother along with Papa and his guest outside.

I give her a smile and walk my way to our garden with Nao who still sitting on my head very obediently.

I slide the glass door and find Papa talking to the old man who wear a tropical clothing. While Tsu-nii sleeping on Papa lap.

"Papa!" They stop talking and look at me

"Papa!" They stop talking and look at me. When Papa give me the sign to come I walk to them. Papa make me sit between the old man and him.

Papa look at Nao for a moment before facing me. "Hello my princess. How your errand? And where did you get this fox?"

I answer him with a smile "It's fine Papa. You and Mama always worried to much. I can take care myself well on my own."

I took Nao of my head waking him up. I lay him on my lap then scratch his ear making him fall asleep again on my lap. I carefully pat him on his head. When he unconsciously snuggle at my touch this make me giggle.

Papa and the old man look at me with a gentle smile. "I just got Nao from Kyo-kun. He said that he found Nao buried under the snow in China. He took Nao with him to give Nao to me as a gift."

"Well the boy you said must be very kind and care about you then." The old man give a statement while looking at me with a warmth smile.

"Um! Kyo-kun is very nice to me but he rarely to show it." I give him his smile back.

The old man starting my face for awhile with a serious expression. I feel a bit strange under his gaze so I make him stop.

"Why are you staring me? Is there something wrong with my face?" He stop staring at me and give me a nervous laugh along with Papa.

Something is wrong, I know it but I ignore it. "Ne, what's your name old man?"

"Yu-chan! That is very impolite!" Papa scolded me but I ignore him. This old man is very suspicious after all.

The old man just give me a laugh and pat my head kindly making all my suspension gone. "Hahaha.., don't worry child I'm won't bring harm to your family. I'm known as Nono. Nice to meet you Hime."

I glare at him also pouting "You aren't lying but that is not the truth! And my name is Sawada Shirayuki! Not Hime!"

Papa look at the surprised old man with an apologetic face. "Alright you win. My name is Timoteo. Nice to meet you Shirayuki."

I give him a nod and a smile "Good. And you can call me Yuki. Shirayuki is a mouthful right. And you will be Grandpa Tim because you're old."

"You're very strict person." Grandpa Tim said awkwardly.

"Of course! After all rules is important thing. With rules we make people can live in peace that is that is something I learn from Kyo-kun. But he said something about an order is more important or something?"

"But did you know why sometimes people break it? It's because people have their own right and wrong. With rules we can create justice yet it not necessarily the right way."

"So I will ask does your justice is the right one? Grandpa Tim?" I ask with a challenging smile because I have a feeling that Grandpa Tim is a person who see many truth and false. I wonder how his answer is.

Grandpa Tim look at me surprised along with my Papa. But then Grandpa Tim eyes clouded by some of memory of the past. He look very sad making me stop what he doing.

"You don't have to answer it. After all I'm just a child I don't know what I just say." I give him a cheesy grin that always make Kyo-kun annoyed and Tsu-nii pout for a week.

But Grandpa Tim look at me sternly serious before back to his kind self. "Yuki-chan is very smart girl."

"No, you are wrong! I'm a genius remember that!" When I said it proudly. Papa and Grandpa Tim laugh making me pout.

"Papa idiot! Go die in the sewers!" This make Papa broke down and cry mumbling something about how his innocent daughter become even more stern everyday.

Grandpa Tim then pat my head kindly while said to me to forgive Papa and fix him. I pout for a moment before forgive him and dodge his annoying doting father hug.

And Papa cry again "Whaaa...😭! My innocent and pure baby is tainted by a Hibari!" Yes, he always blame Kyo-kun for my stern personality. He try to make me stop being with Kyo-kun and he only success on making me annoyed at him for a week.

A very rare time I can hold grudges that long is only with my idiotic Papa and for I know I never been mad. It always like when I mad, I feel all my surrounding become black and silence. After that I somehow able to feel the darkness and power hidden inside me.

Timotoe P.O.V

Today I come to Iemitsu's house while he visiting his family for once a while. I hear that he have a son and an adoptive daughter this make me curious and see them.

First when I meet his son I'm surprise to see a great dying will on the young child. Thinking it may harm him if he can't control it. I decide to seal his flame with Iemitsu permission.

But my heart felt like it going to pop out when I feel his daughter arrive. Her dying will flame is very large not a human level making me almost shiver in fear. Luckily that girl rarely show hostile at a person so there is no single malice on her flame.

Beside her flame is quite like sky flame yet different, I can't see more, but I need to make her learn to control it or it will kill her.

For our talking I see that the girl is more mature also smarter then Iemitsu. How shameful...

She also kind and have a great charisma to tame the almost extinct powerful blue fox even it still a pup.

I think that it was her flame that make her body easily sick. Her body is still not strong enough to keep up with that flame level. How unfortunate but I have to seal her flame completely.

I lay my hand on her head like what I did to Tsuna and look at Iemitsu who look surprised but quickly give me a serious nod.

I'm about to seal her flame that is when I notice my surrounding suddenly become cold.

"What!"

I see that my surrounding become frozen and time seem to be stopped beside my and Iemitsu time.

This coldness is very stings like breaking my bone to pieces. No human can stay in this place anymore longer. A beautiful bell chime then ring from no where freaking Iemitsu.

"Nono what happens!? Is this an enemies attacks!" Iemitsu yell at me while try to stand straight in this coldness. His body especially legs is shaking uncontrollably.

But a sudden voice cut my chance to speak. "How disappointing... thinking that you maybe worthy opponent I decide to invite you to my world yet you barely able to stand in this level of coldness truly disappointing."

"Wha!? Yuki!" Iemitsu yell surprised, he seem don't know that his daughter is truly a monster if she able to control her flame.

But she look different then usually. She seem more empty and there a strange yet beautiful sword in her hand that is larger and bigger then her own body.

"That is correct yet also incorrect." She stand and lay the frozen pup behind her and a white flame suddenly burst behind her neck making her white hair change a bit with a soft blue colour in the end of her white hair.

"As you notice I'm not Shirayuki but I'm her darkness and guardian. Anyone who harm her shall be dead in my hand."

After that the girl try to prove her statement by making many sharp ice out of thin air and she make all of them about to pierce me and Iemitsu who standing in front me open his arm protective.

We both close our eyes prepare to feel the pain but we feel nothing. When we open our eyes we see all the ice is right in front of us stop and floating dangerously close to us.

"She stop?" I said in surprise because she clearly don't have hesitation killing us.

We look at the girl who said she is Yuki's darkness. Her cold and empty eyes become filled with fury her flame behind her neck is flaring with hostile. Making a great wind almost blow us away. Then she took a deep breath and release it, all hostile we receive is completely gone along with the ices that surround us earlier.

Because the show of power we don't let our guard down. She look at us very disinterested now.

"I have no reason to attack you again. Yuki seem to think that you're very important to her. So I can't attack you. How disappointing...*sigh*"

"That girl is to kind for her own good. But that what make me able to exist."

With that the white flame went out making the frozen time move again. The intimidating pressure gone and Yuki-chan is back but her face look very red and breath heavily, she then collapse on the ground losing conscious.

Iemitsu took her and put his hand on her forehead. He look very surprise then immediately take her to her room with me behind him.

"What happen to her?" I ask the near panicked Iemitsu.

"She having attack again. You see Nono my girl is having an unknown disease that have no cure. The disease kill her little by little making her rarely healthy. She relatively okay there days but she having an attack now." Iemitsu said to me with a grim face.

So, this is the reason why he looking around for the best doctor in the Vongola. I'm quite interested at his reason bit that time I don't want to pry.

"Is that so then that darkness in her must unconsciously awake her disease along with that white flame." I think what just happening making me think that sealing the flame can have bad effect on her health.

"Oh, Nono what is that white flame is I never seen it." Iemitsu stop panicking that's a good things.

I think back at the flame and then I remember one lost and forgotten flame that many thought already extinct.

"That is the Snow Dying Will Flame." Iemitsu look at me with a confuse face. He probably never hear it because this flame is been told to me like a fairy tale.

"It's said that only the Primo generation have a Snow Guardian but that guardian also die in young age before having a child. So there almost no record about Snow Flame. Their existence only know in child bedtime stories and rumour."

I took the guardian ring with a Snow symbol. I always bring it with me as a charm somehow this ring always bring me good luck.

I put the ring on Yuki-chan opened palm the ring then shine giving a reaction for once a long time the white flame we just see flare in front the snow symbol and Yuki-chan face seem to get more better colour.

"Wha!?"

"The ring stabilise the flame inside her and act as a barrier for her disease." I smile at the positive reaction the ring gave to her. Iemitsu look like want to cry because of glad.

"I decided. That ring I will give it to her." Iemitsu shocked reaction is very amusing but now is not the time go laugh. He about to say no but I cut him.

"Don't worry nobody knows about this ring beside the boss of Vongola." He understood what I said and sit near his daughter pick and move a shard of hair from her face.

"Sleep well Shirayuki and get well soon." Iemitsu kiss her forehead and smile at her kindly. Even if Iemitsu is a father who rarely be with his family, he truly care for his family.

I wish my family is like this. Especially Xanxus my son.
