Hibari Kyoya
Home in Kyoto...2038...
'Heee...so that's how it is?' Diantha asked her husband who came home with that little tidbit. She's on their bed, topless and lying down on her stomach, being massaged by her husband. 'That's messed up.'
She works five days a week with their employees, then closes on weekends as that work was exhausting.
'You think? Da Ge went as far as kowtowing to me because my niece and her husband are idiots.' Feng told her while massaging her back. Usually, its their elf who does this but when he's home, he does it for her. 'But at any rate, we have a nephew to raise and discipline into a stable home. We're bringing him to Kyoto.'
Their mansion has rooms for family, two for house elves and seven Guest Rooms incase the Arcobaleno came to play. Not that they ever did anyway...but precaution is still good. The rooms are usually used by his wife's circle of friends and relatives when they come to visit.
'Alright, he can use one of the rooms never used, dear.' Diantha smiled. 'I hope we can raise him decently after quite the shock.'
'Shock...seeing his parents argue, fight and separate in his short life? Yeah...shock.' Feng shook his head at the understatement. 'Youth these days...'
'Honey, you sound old.'
'We ARE old.' Feng pointed out in amusement. He is currently 63 and his wife 58.
In their lives as Arcobaleno, parenthood aside, Feng taught her and their children Italian, Chinese and Japanese while she taught English, French, Romanian and Egyptian when Li Jun was old enough to learn languages. Language Learning must start young as it will sink in faster than it would as an adult wherein by then you need twice-thrice the effort. Time Turners were SEVERELY abused when they were in Elementary up to Middle School just to teach languages and train their children in Martial Arts, Qigong and Medicine.
And as a Martial Arts Legendary Grandmaster, Feng can see what arts suited his wife and children as well as training regimes just by one look at them and their natural potential, with She Mei reaching Grandmaster in her arts and in later years, their eldest son when he turned 20. Ming Zi is well on his way.
'I wanna deny it until we're both sick and tired of life, satisfied that we did all we could to die content and greet Death with open arms.' Diantha smiled tiredly. 'And we magicals live up to 200 anyway. 100 years old is merely 'middle age' to us. Andy doesn't even act old because of that.'
'Oh sheesh...' Feng snorted. For 'muggles', middle age is near fifty. And due to magic and their powerful bond as Sky to Guardian as well as magically-married? He too, would live long...if the curse isn't making them spend their lives faster.
He had gone to Namimori, to the Hibari Residence.
Hibari Hitomi's family owns Namimori since the Edo Period, hence his family were wealthy landowners, now wealthy businessmen.
Hence this lavish mansion that's a heirloom.
Feng is using his power full-blast just to 'look' how he should in his sixties to the servants of the family.
'Welcome, Fon-sama.' one of the maids greeted.
All maids hired, were near fifties, he noted.
'Where is Kyoya?'
'He's...understandably difficult.' the maids winced as the maid who greeted him spoke. 'We understand his feelings and tried to make him feel better to no avail.'
'Well, he's traumatized and in dire need of counseling and a stable environment.' said Feng. 'My brother, his grandfather wishes he live with my family until he's stable. He will have a stable home with my family. My wife is very homely so our children are a happy lot. Until Kyoya returns, please look after this place.'
When Feng met Kyoya, Kyoya saw an 'oniisan' with a glass-like red pacifier worn like a pendant.
'Who're you?'
His room was a mess, full of things clearly destroyed out of rage.
'I'm your uncle.' said Feng. 'Feng Potter.' he said with a kind smile.
'You're young to be one.' said Kyoya with a surly expression.
'I should be. I'm your uncle through marriage and the family tree. Not all uncles are old geezers you know.' Feng chuckled. 'I'm here to take you home to my family for at least, seven years. You now own this house and can't leave it alone for long after all.'
'...'
'We'll help you and teach you what it means to be a good man.' said Feng. 'Saa, we live in Kyoto.'
'Kyoto?!'

Kyoto...a mansion...
'...this house is too big. Bigger than mine.' Kyoya mused as they got inside and he got a full look of the property. The house is big, even the gardens! The gardens have manicured lawns and beautiful flowers in shrubs, and fruit trees.
His uncle is also strange, he can change his appearance from adult to kid.
'Well, my wife is a westerner and so am I. Well, China's in the west too.' Feng smiled. 'Our building standards are different from Japanese who wants everything minimized from home size to even room size. Honestly your house makes me feel claustrophobic!' he shuddered.
'What's everyone like?'
'My wife likes children...to the point we have six children. Choushin is now 28. Eiji is now 18. Kousei is now 16. Shuuka 13. Houka 10 and Miya 7.'
'That's a lot...but what are you really? When we met you're a kid. Now you look old.' Kyoya frowned as indeed, Feng took his 'true form' to what he imagined how he'd look, while wrinkle-free.
Feng looked somber all of a sudden.
'Well...my wife and I are cursed shortly after we married...we and six others were deceived by a man who hired us for a job...and when he's done with us, he cursed us all.' Kyoya can see that his uncle wasn't too happy about it. 'We were all supposed to turn into babies while retaining our abilities and strength as adults...yet two of us are physically just as old as our eldest daughter Shuuka. Its because love created a wonderful power that diluted most of the curse away.' he smiled. 'However cheesy that sounds, its true and it happened. My wife and I love each other so much.'
'...why can't they be like that?' Kyoya looked on, bitter.
He asked about his own parents.
'Love and passion are two, too different things.' said Feng. 'I told your grandfather that. Love lasts a lifetime, Passion just a temporary fire on a small candle that will die out when the candle melts completely. Your parents married too young and too fast because of youthful passion despite not knowing enough about life just yet...and realized that too late. You, an innocent is forced to pay the price for their foolishness.'
'Oh...'
'We will teach you many things so you will be able to see the world clearly.' said Feng. 'And you should know what a good home is like, so one day, you will become a wonderful husband to your wife...and a wonderful father to your children.'
That night, Kyoya was introduced to his relatives.
He met his aunt and his many cousins.
They were all beautiful people. But clearly took after his uncle in looks as they look mostly chinese and the little hint of their european blood through their british mother showed in their hair, skin color and 'just different somehow'.
Choushin has dark brown curly hair and light brown eyes. Eiji has dark-red wavy hair and green eyes(he was told that because his cousin works in Tokyo as a model and lives in a dorm school). Kousei has dark blonde straight hair with brown eyes. Shuuka has black hair like her mother with black eyes. Houka has light red hair with hazel eyes and Miya has light brown hair and dark brown eyes.
Kyoya is the youngest of this lot...and his relatives were really nice people...but very studious.
Because Feng works in China, staying home half the year and the other half working, Choushin teaches when he wasn't around. Language, Martial Arts, Medicine, Good Manners, Etiquette, Morals and Right Conduct, what and how boys should be to themselves, to family and friends, how to be a good judge of character...
But one day on weekends, he watched an Animal Documentary...
And considering he's growing strong...he decided that the strong gets all, losers get nothing but mere pittances or worse, scraps. He worked hard to be strong thus, and looks down on the weak, and enjoys being with his relatives...his warm and doting aunt, his uncle and older male cousins a strong presence in his life that were ideals to be a good man, and his female cousins who were what good girls should be...in his aunt and uncle's ideals at least.
They were worldly nature-wise, not worldly material-wise. They knew what the world is really like despite how society looks.
But he knew that one day, he'll have to go back to that lonely mansion because he has to look after it. Its his property now though until he has a job, his aunt and uncle will manage the bills.
When he graduated Elementary as a Valedictorian, he finally saw his grandparents who were there to see him on the stage as a Valedictorian with many awards as he made a speech on stage as his own parents are still a no-show.
Then again, his aunt and uncle were his real parents at any rate, not his 'creators'.
They were there for him when he needed them most.
Just that, why does his uncle work for those weaker than him? He doesn't get it.
Kyoya fully knows Feng works for the Triads. But what job, is unknown.
'Ah, papa's employers huh?' Miya, his older cousin mused. 'Well, however despicably weak they are, they pay well. We do need money to support our lifestyle you know.'
'But you have the restaurant.' Kyoya grumbled. 'Doesn't aunt's restaurant earn six digits a day? Technically you earn millions of yen in a month.'
'Yup, we have but papa is a warrior. He would always search for battles despite his personality. So he sticks around those guys if only so he can fight a couple hundred armed-to-the-teeth men to stay in shape. His pride as the Legendary Grandmaster is on the line after all.'
'Heee...'
Warrior and staying in shape, huh?
One week before his Junior High begins, Kyoya went home to Namimori. He felt that as man of the house, he has to grow up faster and show who runs the show in this town.
(he did just that, ruling with an iron fist)

'Hey, Kyoya finally went back home...is he going to be OK even if his instincts haven't manifested yet?' Diantha wondered as she and Feng are in bed together.
'He'll be fine...just that I dread the day he eventually chooses his territory.' said Feng. 'Your territory is your own self, your freedom, not a location or an object like most Clouds which was why unlike any Cloud you're easy to get along with. Kyoya has yet to have his territory established as we kept him distracted with a full schedule...'
None of their children are Clouds.
Choushin is a Rain, Eiji is a Sun, Kousei is a Storm, Domino is a Mist, Lizbeth is a Lightning and Miya is like her mother, a Dual-Element but of Sun and Rain. All of whom quarter-magicals but powerful magicals and their magic made their flames as pure and potent as that of their parents', they dreaded the coming of 'another selection'. They avoided their children going into the Mafia so Checkerface wouldn't know of their existence.
In the elements, Sky and Cloud are always, the rarest. Hardly showing up at all!
'Let's just see what the future brings, dear.' Feng kissed her before straddling her. 'Round 11?'
'Round 11.' Diantha smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck before pulling him down.
Since their daughter Sabrina...no matter how many times they tried...they couldn't have any, anymore that Kyoya may as well be their last son.

For Hibari Kyoya...
So many.
Herbivores.
Be it his age, older than him, younger than him.
He imposed his will with an iron fist.
Weaklings who prey on the weak just to 'feel strong' disgusted him.
The bullied weak looked up to him as a source of safety.
Little did he know that he'll eventually...be around them one day.
