Inside his room, Hibari Kyoya is in deep thought. The boy he met back in there... needs serious help. 

"I suppose he already entered the early stage... it'll be a matter of time that he will get controlled by it," he muttered recalling what he saw from the deepness of the boy's eyes. 

It was already dead, a void filled with darkness that will someday overwhelm him. 

Dark Impulsivity, in just a glance, Kyoya could see that he already acquired it and waiting for it to be activated. It contains the Dark Triad's traits, psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism that are associated with impulsivity. He has seen people who had the same situation and died miserably under the hands of the law. Specifically, the Vindice knows how to handle people with dark impulsivity and bring chaos inside of the mafia society, and their methods are definitely not a thing you want to know. 

But what worries him is the involvement of his family in that very same person. 

He just discovered that his cousin, Chifuyu has been a member of the gang that that guy is leading, and his sister, Kiriko became acquainted with them, then when there is Kiriko, a certain pink-headed comes follows. The triplets seemed to be friendly to them as well. 

Should they come back to Italy? 

It is an option, but Kiriko wouldn't be persuaded that easily. She handles most of the division works and she is aware of the order that Decimo has given to him. His sister is perceptive and naive at the same time. 

Should he let it go and see what will happen? He doesn't like to involve himself in burdensome things that will not benefit him. 

To all of the people, why did she have to be acquainted with someone with dark impulsivity? 

It's impossible for her not to notice. Especially since they noticed it at a glance. 

Is she being attached to that boy? The thought did not sit right in Kyoya's mind as his nose scrunched in distaste, I better observe him. 

Kusakabe knocked on the door and waited for Kyoya's permission for him to enter. When he heard his reply, Kusakabe entered the room.

"Kyo-san, the headquarters are calling," he said and Kyoya nodded his head and gestured him to prepare the intercom.

They accepted the call and they're in the air is a projected image of a familiar omnivore he knows.

"Hibari-san! How's Kiriko-chan?!" Sawada Tsunayoshi skip the greetings and immediately asked his question. The worry is evident in his eyes after receiving a report that the young Hibari was attacked by a Yllona higher-up and a Vindice escapee.

"She is recovering," he said.

"How bad is it?"

"She's been stabbed in the back. She lost a lot of blood and she moved around by joining a gang fight than receiving treatment," he said in a casual tone that horrified the Decimo.

"W-WHAT?! I-ITS THAT BAD— HAYATO! TAKESHI! WE'RE GOING IN JAPAN—!" but he was interrupted when a certain former Sun  Arcobaleno and his tutor kicked him on his head to stop him from panicking.

"You still have a long way to go, Tsuna."

Kyoya's gaze narrowed at the sight of the kid.

"The baby." Reborn looked at the man on the other side of the camera, "Nice to see you Hibari. I heard about what happened to Kiriko-chan."

"Hn."

Tsuna recovered from Reborn's usual way of greeting. Just by seeing his Cloud Guardian on the screen. He could tell how much he wants to torture the ones who attacked his sister.

"Hibari-san..."

"It seems like the other baby will soon arrive in there. You can ask him the questions." Kyoya said to him, "I will finish the investigation of the wild dying will flame and return." he said firmly.

Tsuna's Cloud Guardian loved Japan--- especially Namimori--- more than anyone. He would always visit Japan every time he'll get past it heading on to his destination. He is not really showing it, but he is doing a lot of work to be able to go back to Japan with his sister. Seeing him so eager to go back to Italy and leave Japan shows how worried he was about his sister. 

Of course, being in the Vongola Estate in Italy is much safer for her to be. Kyoya knows it very well. 

"I understand, Hibari-san..." Tsuna then comes up with an idea, "I'll send someone to help." 

Kyoya frowned at what Tsuna just said, clearly not liking it. He prefers to work alone after all. Not even his own sister who he let handle the whole Cloud Division is not allowed to help him under his own orders. 

"He-Hear me out first! Hibari-san!" Tsuna immediately followed up. Kyoya did not answer indicating him to continue, "The Cloud Division alone wouldn't be able to handle it." 

Kyoya then narrowed his already narrowed gaze even more to the man in front of him who indirectly insulted his division, "It is not an insult Hibari-san! I am not saying that the Cloud Division is incapable! In fact, the Cloud Division is an outstanding division!" 

"Ack---! The Boss--- I'm going to train my division." 

"We gotta up our game, right?" 

"Shut up! Baseball freak!" 

The Storm and Rain Guardians appeared on the screen, "Hey! How's that girl?!" as usual Gokudera Hayato greeted with his usual harsh tone while Yamamoto Takeshi calmly asked, "We heard about what happened." he said then the sharpness of his gaze changed, "We will make sure to find out who is behind of all of this." 

"Hn." Kyoya replied that made the Storm Guardian lash out from his 'disrespectful response in front of the Boss' while Tsuna is trying to calm his Storm Guardian and Takeshi chuckling at the scene. 

"Most likely, the Yllona wouldn't be able to accomplish this without a help or supporter." Reborn started to say that eased the bickering in the background, "They are targeting one of the Vongola's weak points." 

It is not really a hidden secret. The mafia knows how the Vongola Decimo treasures and cherishes his family. Especially the younger ones since his own Lightning Guardian have also encountered the tragedies that they've faced back in the past before they reached the top. 

"But they are definitely underestimating the brats." Gokudera said as he sat down beside Tsuna, "They would be surprised to receive a report that the ones they targetted managed to put down the ones they sent." he added. 

"It was a Yllona higher-up and a Vindice escapee, right?" Yamamoto confirmed and Tsuna nodded. 

"The Vindice said they will be cooperating with us. Seems like the one Kiriko-chan defeated is not the only one who escaped in the Vindice." Tsuna shared the information the Vindice said to him. 

"Just how can they escape that prison?! Even Mukuro took ten years to escape in there!" Gokudera is right. Escaping in Vindice is more on impossible. The feat of escaping was only performed by the Mist Guardian of the Vongola Family. 

"Byakuran and the Millefiore will have a word with me. We will be discussing the next steps to capture the mastermind of all of this." Tsuna said as his soft gaze turned into a determined and resolved one, "We will make them regret facing our Family." 

"I'll leave the burdensome matters to you. Just talk with Kusakabe for other details." Kyoya said and motioned Kusakabe to come closer to him as he stood up from his seat and gave his seat to his Vice-President. 

"K-Kyo-san!" 

But Kyoya already left the room before Kusakabe could even retort, not that it matters anyway. 

"That guy---!" 

"Calm down, Gokudera. We know that Hibari is already on the edge since the news." 

Kusakabe bowed on the screen, "Please, pardon Kyo-san's actions. He is really worried about Kiriko-san." 

Tsuna turned to the man, "How is she really, Kusakabe-san?" he asked for the second time since his Cloud Guardian did not really give him the whole picture. 

"Yeah, what happened?" Gokudera asked as well. 

"How bad is it?" asked Yamamoto. 

Kusakabe rose from his bow, "Kiriko-san engaged with a fight against a Yllona higher-up. We still have no records for the moment. No one is with Kiriko-san when her fight against him occurs. On the other hand, she was found already badly wounded during her fight with the Vindice escapee which we identified as Mahito Shimazaki. The Destroyer and the triplets arrived at the site when Kiriko-san is already wounded in her back with a knife which they believe came from the Vindice escapee considering that the Yllona higher-up is already unconscious leaving Kiriko-san with the Vindice escapee with another knife supposed to be impaled on her chest, right through her heart." 

Gokudera showed how furious he is after hearing what Kusakabe just reported. 

"They won't get away with this," he said with his fists clenching. Even Yamamoto is leaking his bloodlust with his hands touching his Shigure Kintoki, 

Tsuna could feel his nerves popping from anger. A stab in the back, parallel to where her heart is located. Not only that but he tried to make sure to kill the kid by impaling a knife straight to her heart if the Destroyer and her company arrived a second late, the Cloud Division's capable Vice-Commander will be--- 

He doesn't want to finish that thought. 

"Kusakabe-san, I'll be sending some of our comrades in there." Kusakabe blinks while Tsuna smiled softly, "You can't handle Hibari-san when he goes in a rampage mode. Especially that Kiriko-san needs to recover for a while." 

"Sa-Sawada-san..." the man nearly kneel on the ground to thank the man in front of him, "Thank you so much!" he is grateful for the help that the people from Italy will lend him. Tsuna said it is nothing. 

"I know how hard to handle Hibari-san... I just hope that he could help Hibari-san relieve some of his stress..." he sighed then Kusakabe realized who the Decimo will send to help, "Is it Dino-san?" he excitedly asked Tsuna who nodded. 

"He is the only person I could think of that can handle Hibari-san after all..." 

Kusakabe agrees with this choice of the Decimo. Dino Cavallone or also known as the Bucking Horse is the Tenth Generation boss of the third most powerful mafia family after the Vongola--- the Cavallone. He is also Hibari Kyoya's home-tutor during the Ring Battles and the only one who can convince him other than Kusakabe.

"I will also send some company for Kiriko-chan's aide," Tsuna added that made Kusakabe ask why. 

"Considering the incident that happened. Cloud alone wouldn't be able to defeat the enemies that you all might encounter, most especially Kiriko-san since she is the one handling the Division's Corps." Tsuna continued, "Expect them to arrive within a few weeks."
