WARNING: Hibari Kyoya might be a bit OOC. It's been a while since I watched KHR, so yeah… He could be or not might be in character. Maybe. You guys can be the judge of that.

PROMPT: If Vongola 10th generation's s/o died a couple of years after canon timeline and the TYL version of themselves meet their young s/o healthy and alive – how would they react? (I chose TYL Hibari.)

If any of my OC acts like a Mary Sue in any way or if there are any mistakes, TELL ME IMMEDIATELY!

Oh and no flames please! Thank you~!

Death (TYL Hibari x Canon Nina)


For hours, as usual on a certain day, Hibari Kyoya stood in front of a simple grave. The stone used as the slab had a name engraved on it - Nina.

"Kyo-san…" Kusakabe watched the Vongola Cloud Guardian sadly. When the sun shined down on them, Hibird chirped and landed on Hibari's shoulder.

He closed his eyes briefly as if savoring this moment of silence. The wind gently blew against him when he opened his eyes and turned away from the grave. He continued to walk away, passing his vice commander. "Tetsu."

"Yes." Kusakabe turned to follow him. Before they could leave, they heard a loud pop sound in front of the grave. Immediately, Hibari turned his head to see. What he saw floored him.

A young Nina stood in front of the grave. It was as though time had stopped between the two. The confusion in her eyes lingered. "Kyo...ya…?"

"..." His eyes widened slightly - a little surprised. In seconds, he recovered. "Nina." He acknowledged.

"Where… Oh. I must be ten years into the future. So only 5 minutes left, huh." She smiled sheepishly as she approached him. Before she could react, he pulled her towards him. In the corner of her eye, she saw how Kusakabe looked in the other direction, giving them space. "Kyoya…?" Even so, his reaction towards her sudden appearance never excused how out of character he was with this outward show of affection.

"..." He stayed quiet, relaxing under her arms as she held him close with a worried gaze. In seconds, he pulled away, cupping her small face with his large hands. His eyes flickered of longing and anguish. He leaned his forehead against hers, gazing into her eyes as though drinking her appearance in and burning this memory into his mind.

Truthfully, she did notice the stone slab from behind her before she called out to Hibari. While she did not clearly see the name, she had an inkling as to who it was from his reaction at her. So she did the only thing she could do to comfort him; she gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek and forehead. He looked at her incredulously as she smiled at him affectionately. "I'm here, Kyoya." Her voice quivered a little, trying to hide her realization. Even though there was something stuck in her throat and she became painfully aware of the reason behind the grief within his expression, she did not want to show him such a memory of her. "I'm okay right now."

He seemed to notice her realization quickly from the way his eyebrows furrowed. The anguish soon transformed into a calm pool of grey. He lifted her head and also gave her a chaste kiss on the eyes. "I'm here. Always..." That broke her heart a little as tears unwillingly gathered in the corners of her eyes.

"And I will always be here too. No matter how long..." She willed the tears to not fall and gave him a brave smile. She sniffed and hugged him tightly. She knew that her time was up soon and looked up at him for one last time.

As though the heavens decided to bless her, his lips curled into a genuinely sweet smile - something that she thought she would never see from him. That unraveled her control as teardrops after teardrops rolled down her cheeks. His thumb rubbed away the tears and before she could say anything, his other finger touched her lips as if telling her that he knows what she wants to say before she even gets to say it. "I know." He murmured to her calmly. "I know…"

"Kyo-" She disappeared before she could say his name. Hibari lingered where she last stood, unable to move. He stared at his hand and his eyes softened at the tears he had touched from her cheek.

"In the end, I made her cry." He closed his eyes and kissed his hand gently, remembering the image of her that he burned into his mind, before reverting back to his normal indifferent self. Walking once again, he never turned to look back at the grave. "Tetsu."

"Yes sir." Kusakabe followed without saying anything else.

END.
