This certain not what I would like to post chapter 8 as, its not complete. I've been trying to write in it more, but it not going anywhere even after months of looking at it. So, inside of just letting it sit forgotten in my PC, I post a part of it in here, turn the chapter into 2 chapters you could say. That, and I need to find my old love for KHR fanfic back. I still love KHR, I just don't feel like reading any more of its fanfic, couldn't find anything to catch my attetion at all.

On other hand, I've been writing HP/Naruto, and Pokemon/Naruto fic. Will post them up soon, if you interesting, please keep a look out for them. I think they are better than this by far.

Thank Fion for betaing this story. Thank you all for your reviews, favorites, etc.

This chapter is short, as alwasy, with 1k+ world. I apologize for that. Hope you enjoy it none the least.

Chapter 8: Hibari Rinka.

Hibari Rinka was born on a cold day, in December, in the middle of the night. While there was no doubt of her parents' love for her, it was also no secret that both of them had been disappointed when she was born a girl. Her parents had hoped for a boy, an heir who can lead the Famiglia after his father retired, and then they could divorce. Their marriage was an arrangement between two allies Famiglia (the Hibari's Boss and the Marvell's third daughter); there had been no love between those two. Not that a girl can't be an heir, but it would be much better with a boy.

5 years down the road, Rinka's parents had yet to divorce; but they weren't trying to be a loving family either. They didn't fight, nor did they neglect her; they just had a separation life. They stopped trying for a second child 3 years after her birth (including more than 2 years used to take care of her baby self). Most of the time, they behaved like business partners, or close friends, rather than anything else. Rinka still had a happy life, so it didn't matter in her eyes.

Then one day, her father went to a trip to Hokkaido and came back a month later with a Japanese woman (a subordinate's daughter of the Kagami clan). Needless to say, it was a full week of thick tension around the house. Father was in love for the first time in who knows how long, and he won't give her up. Mother didn't mind either. (She was happy for father and wanted to start a new life away from the Famiglia anyway.) Only grandmother was upset (being an old traditional person who won't accept a woman of lesser blood into the Famiglia. She was the main reason father hadn't discover mother yet). But grandmother's opinion mattered very little at this point; they discover a month later. Mother didn't fight for custody over Rinka (even if father willing to give it to her, not that he is). She knew being a third daughter's child; Rinka would not have much standing in the Marvell Famiglia, unlike in the Hibari. Unless she dies young, Rinka is the heir and would be the next boss of the Hibari Famiglia (father had promised that much to mother). Beside, mother always came to visit whenever she could, so Rinka was not that unhappy.

A year later, Rinka was six when she first held her little brother. She was disappointed then, because he was not as cute as she had thought ("He looks like a baby monkey!" were her words), but her father and auntie (because the woman wasn't her mother, so auntie would do for her) had only laughed and explained to her that all new born baby looked like that and they will grow on her soon enough.

And Kyoya did just that. Her little brother became the center of her world as the years flew by. Her time was always between studies and taking care of Kyoya. He was such an innocent and lovely child, always smiling and laughing. She was happy to spend time with him, auntie and father whenever they could.

Life was good…until she turned 10.

It came suddenly and unstoppable like a tsunami awake in a storm and struck an unprotected boat, with her family as the boat and the tsunami being a coup from her uncle. Uncle was father's little brother, a clever and seemly kind person, no one would think of him as anything but a good man. Yet, he has planned that coup d'état from the beginning, slowly but surely winning people over to his side, waiting for his chance to overthrow her father. As the saying goes, "a honey tongue, a heart of gall", uncle truly was a heartless person. He killed father right in front of Rinka and would have killed her too if not for the loyalty of some subordinates, who had taken her away before anything more could happen. Rinka had tried to find auntie and Kyoya after that (running away when the subordinates were fighting each other), only to found auntie lay lifelessly in the middle of her room, her dead body covered in red. There had been so much blood, seemingly wanting to drown her in it. Her knees no longer able to support her body, Rinka fell to the ground near where auntie laid, her whole world going numb.

"Everyone is dead? Dead? Deaddeaddeaddeadeadeadead..." The words continued to play in her head like a broken record, again and again, before it suddenly comes to a stop with a realization: "DEAD! That means no one is alive anymore! No one here anymore! No one... I'm all alone! Alone..." That sudden realization scared her more than anything. She had even felt or seen it all. It came crashing down at once, her life, her world; everything became blackness with no light, and she wanted nothing more than to end it all, to stop this meaningless life.

"N-nee-Chan?" Two words, spoken in a scared, small voice right next to Rinka stopped her thoughts. She turned around slowly and there he was, her little brother. He sat there, covered in the red blood of his mother, eyes widening with fear and tears, but all Rinka can think at that time was that, "He is alive!" And that was all she needed. Suddenly her world wasn't so black anymore.

Twelve years had passed since then, Rinka grew up to be a beautiful woman and powerful boss of the Hibari Famiglia. Kyoya had also grown up, in his way to become a fine young man. And life was good for the both of them.

On second thought, life is not good at all, especially in this moment.

Rinka feels her temper going up, and up, and up some more, until it couldn't anymore and go boom, literally.

"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?" She all but screams at the two boys standing ten feet away, hands at each other's throat, looking for all the world like they were about to commit murder, which is not very much far away from the truth, to one of them at least. The two boys freeze in midair from what they were doing and turn to look at her, or more specifically, at her angry and very red face. Their eyes widen (she wondered how is it possible for Tsunayoshi's eyes to go that big?) and the brown-haired boy lets out a high pinched shriek before trying to get away, but the black-haired boy uses that moment to knock him down with one switch of the steel tonfa in his hand.

"KYOYA!" Rinka yells while Tsuna tries, but not successfully, to hide his pain and get away from Kyoya. Honestly, he looks like he was about to cry at any moment, and not for the first time Rinka wonder how is it possible for him to be a Mafioso, much less, their leader? Not that she doesn't like Tsuna or doubt his power (she has seen him train, mind you), but it still sounds ridiculous no matter how you look at it.

Anyway, back to the present problem, meaning, said boy, her brother, and the mess they had almost made of this gym. Almost, because thank the gods, Rinka had seen them both running through the school from her office's window, and so, was able to come and stop them just as they were jumping at each other (go for the kill, she was sure).

"Stop this nonsense fighting at once, Kyoya, what is it with you today?" Rinka says as she walks to where the boys are standing. "Please stop trying to fight with Tsuna-kun again, Kyoya. I don't want anymore paperwork add to my table."

Kyoya huffs in annoyance before walking away. She looks after him until his form disappear behind the gym door, then turn around to coos at Tsuna, checking him for injures, Tsuna's face was a deep shade of red by the time she lets him go. The poor boy must be so embarrass, Rinka knows this, he is too shy for his own good. She wonders if Reborn will be able to train that out of him, a shy boss would only become a laughing joke for other familiars, and that is unacceptable, especially for one as powerful as the Vongola. But honestly though, she wishes Tsuna would never change, he is prefect the way he is now.

Please review as alway.
