The Hibari Family has one tradition every Christmas.

No, it doesn't have anything to do with pine trees, eating or even singing. The tradition is to take a family picture in front of the Christmas themed Namimori Temple. The area holds great significance to your parents; it is the place where they both met for the first time and fell in love.

Every year your parents will force Kyoya and you to the temple to take a family picture.

Today is that special day. A 24 year old you grab the album next to you on the couch.

The first photo that greets you is of you and your parents only. After a few pages you take notice of your mother's swollen stomach. Then another photo, like the first photo, with an added person, baby Kyoya.

You smile at the picture and finger the faces of your parents. Your mind dazes off because of the rushing memories.

"(Name)?" A voice asks in worry. You snap out of your daze and turn to see your boyfriend.

"Dino, I thought you went to visit Tsuna-kun."

He shrugs and takes a seat on the couch next to you and eyes the album with curiosity. You take notice of his eyes and smile, nudging the album closer to him.

"This is a tradition that my parents started."

Dino flips through the pages slowly. He almost laughs at the sight of a baby Kyoya in his fat sweater. Right before his eyes he witnesses you grow up slowly into who you are today.

"I never knew you were into the whole gothic scene." Dino teases pointing at the picture.

"I was 14 years old in that one! That was my rebellious stage!" You whine at him smacking his arm lightly.

He keeps going and soon notices the disappearance of your parents in the pictures. He looks up at you and you just give him a sad smile.

You grab the album and place it back on the bookshelf. You then reach for the camera on the shelf and head to the door.

"You coming?" You ask him.

Dino got the hint, but something twinkled in his eyes.

"Of course, but can we make a few stops before we get there?"

"Sure where too?"

Kyoya unfolds his arms and steps away from his spot near the front porch of the temple to glare at you in annoyance.

"You're late." He says as you come closer.

"Dino had us make a few stops, hope you don't mind extra people." You say to him while smiling in mischief. He throws you a glare of death; you know of his hatred for crowds.

"EXTREME!"

"Big brother, please clam down."

"Come on we're almost there."

"Dino-san why are we here?"

"Bastard you better not lead us into a trap of some kind!"

From the amount of voices you see Kyoya tense up. It reminds you of a dog who feels threatened and is ready to strike. You bend towards his ear and whisper.

"If you do this without a fuss I'll sweet talk Dino into fighting you for as long as you want. No interferences."

His eyes stopped narrowing and widened at the sweet deal. He regains his composure and tries to relax.

"Thought so." You smirk.

"(Name)! I hope you don't mind the crowd!" Dino waved with excitement; but falters when he notices Kyoya's predatory eyes. He gulps in fear. Behind him appears the young 10th himself, his other five guardians, Kyoko, Haru, Bianchi, Reborn, the children, Tsuna's mother, Dr. Shamal and some of Dino's men.

You usher everyone forward and smile when Tsuna walks up to you.

"Hibari-san why are we here?" The 17 year old asks.

"For a family picture of course; besides being in the Mafia is family enough." You answer him and giggle when he blanches at the word mafia.

One of Dino's men prepares the camera while everyone gets in position. You stand in the middle with your brother on the left and Dino on the right with a hand over your shoulder. When the man clicks the timer of the camera he rushes to get in the picture and everyone smiles in unison. Before the picture is taken you take your brother into your arms for a hug and manage to capture his surprised look.

*Flash*!

You smile at the picture and giggle at the memory of what happened after it was taken. Who would have known Dino could run so fast.

You pick up a pen ready to mark details in the back of the picture and pause for a minute. A smile spreads across your lips and you scribble something.
