Hibari Kyoya is the 10th Generation Vongola Cloud Guardian. Just like Alaude, the first generation Cloud Guardian who founded an organization now being led by the Vongola Decimo's father, Sawada Iemitsu, the CEDEF as the External Advisor of the Vongola. Hibari Kyoya founded his very own independent group that serves under him with the core members of his loyal delinquent followers from his middle school years. They aim to research the wonders of the Earth and mainly the advantageous power of the box weapon that the mafia world is using as their main weapon for attack and defense. 

Currently, just when Kiriko is engaged in a fight against two opponents. Her older brother is in China, facing a young man eating his favorite mapo tofu casually while drinking his favorite oolong tea. 

"Why did you call me here, kid," Kyoya demanded and the young man in front of him simply responded without a smile before talking. 

"Always straight to the point." He raised his gaze towards the younger version of Hibari Kyoya in front of him, "Aren't you curious why a seventeen years old grandfather of yours are in front of you?" he taunted. 

"I wouldn't be if he just start talking and stop bothering me for useless talk," he said firmly with an obvious irritation hinted in his tone. Fon reminder himself that Kyoya remained as Kyoya, be it in the past or in the future--- it's just that in the future he is much grumpier than the past. 

"I am sure you would not call this talk a useless one after I tell you this information." 

"Spill it already before I'll bite you to death," he commanded to the martial artist who is not even affected by him. After all, Fon is much stronger and experienced than Kyoya. 

"I suppose, dilly-dallying this talk won't help..." his expression turned serious, "Kyoya, I traveled back in time." he started but did not earn any surprised reaction from the man. 

"I could clearly see that. Give me something more interesting." 

"I suppose it is already obvious since you experienced the same thing before." the former Storm Arcobaleno chuckled, "It is not just me though." 

"The triplets as well." Fon smiled at his answer, "As expected. You noticed the triplets." 

Kyoya took a sip from his tea, "They are pretty obvious. They arrived in the base like it is a normal thing to do despite not having communication from the both of us when she entered." he said talking about Kiriko entering the Vongola Family, "Not to mention that they are not even surprised. Their actions and mannerisms are also different than before. I can say that they've become mature, at least a bit."

"Can't really fool the senses of the Cloud Guardian who traveled back and forth in the past and future. The triplets and I both traveled back in time but in different ways." he confirmed Kyoya's speculation, "The future is much futuristic than what you can expect. Irie Shoichi and Verde created a new way to introduce technology that became a practice in the whole mafia." he added. 

Kyoya glared at the man, narrowing his already narrowed eyes. 

"I don't care about them. State your reason." 

"Kiriko will die today." 

Silence engulfed the two on the sudden remark of the former Storm Arcobaleno.

"What the fuck did you just say?"

Kyoya warned him, "Don't you dare talk silly remarks."

Fon glance at him with a serious look on his face, "What I am saying is true."

"Are you trying to test my patience?" He showed his tonfas, "I'll give you a fight."

Fon put down his tea, "You know to yourself..." he showed the same look that Kyoya is giving to him, "... that I am saying the truth."

Kyoya hated to admit it, but he is very much aware that the man in front of him is telling the truth. His grip on his tonfas tighten.

"I am sure that the triplets are doing their best to stop it. They have the resolve to do so." Fon said to him before his grandson could even destroy the whole place. The Decimo will surely get a headache receiving a document stating how much his Cloud Guardian destroyed this time.

Kyoya frowned in this statement then huffed slightly.

"So that is the reason." He said finally understood the reason behind the triplets' sudden visit.

"Since then, huh." he slammed his fist on the top of the table partnered with a sharp glare directing to Fon, "Why they didn't tell me." he is not asking a question but demanding an answer.

Fon calmly said, "They are not ordered to speak about the future—" he stopped and smiled briefly, "— that is why I was sent in here as well."

"The Vongola Decimo in the future said to me— 'Find the one who is assisting the Yllona'." he continued.

Kyoya smirked, "So my speculation is correct." He put down his tonfa and lean with his arms crossed in his chest, "Those herbivores are not moving along."

"I'm embarrassed that we did not notice this at first. We've been way too proud of the Vongola's power that we sometimes forgot that someone can outwit us and use that in their advantage." the mug that Fon is holding break from the sudden strength he inserted on his hand that is holding it, "In exchange of that arrogance. We lost the lives we wished to protect."

Just in time, Hibari's ringtone— which happens to be the Namimori Hymn rang. He grabbed his phone from his pockets and saw the caller ID. He frowned, not liking to see his loyal follower calling him at the same time Fon told him about his sister.

But he still answered it.

"K-Kyo-san! I finally contacted you! We have a situation!"

"Spill it," he commanded and the caller which happens to be Kusakabe immediately go straight to his point.

"Kiriko-san was attacked."

A moment of silence. Kyoya sent a glare to the man in front of him still eating his mapo tofu and drinking his oolong tea since the beginning of their talk. Fon already knows that the call might possibly be about Kyoya's sister since he only makes that different kind of threatening glare when it comes to his only sister.

"Kiriko-san still managed to defeat them, but she's been badly wounded already when the Triplets and the Destroyer came to her aid. After that, the Triplets sent a report that they will be heading in a gang battle—"

"How is she."

His voice made the man on the other line almost feel his knee fall from the fright. Despite not seeing his master's face. He could hear how he could send what he is feeling in three simple words.

"They already give her sun flames but they don't know if she will hold up."

"The bastards?"

"The captured attackers have been sent in the Pit of Judgment and waiting for your orders of punishment," Kusakabe answered.

"Leave them be for a moment." He let out a sadistic smile on his face, "I will deal with them later."

Kusakabe gulped his saliva from the other line, "U-Understood, Kyo-san."

Kyoya end the call after that and called a random man of his to call for a private plane.

"Call for a private plane. I'll be flying back in Japan," he ordered to the man in Italian who instantly obliged before Kyoya brought back his attention to the man in front of him.

Fon smiled at Kyoya calmly, "Please tell the triplets that I'll be visiting the family soon."

"You heading in Italy?" he asked and the Storm Arcobaleno nodded.

"The time-traveling is not a secret for the Decimo's Guardians and those who have been involved in the previous project. The Decimo from the future personally asked me to inform the past him—" he puts down his tea and stood up from his seat, "— he doesn't want to repeat the sacrifices and consequences the family faced." he said the last sentence quite low but Kyoya could still hear it.

Fon looked again to him, "Kiriko will surely get saved. The triplets' resolve is to save her, and they will certainly do it."

"She's been stabbed."

"But she will live." Fon said, "Kiriko will not die." he repeated then smiled at the Kyoya.

Kyoya did not speak or even say goodbye to Fon as he turn around and started walking away from him when Fon said something that made Hibari Kyoya stop from his tracks.

"Kiriko is being targeted—

They are targeting the younger ones to lure the guardians."
