Demon Prefect and his Demon Aunt
'Its that time of the year again.' Diantha mused as January 8 was the designated yearly meeting.
Its because despite being a Sky, Aria could not lead them, thus its Reborn who leads the Arcobaleno. An unprecedented situation.
This was because Aria started to see her future upon birth up to her death that just like her mother, she was resigned to her fate. She also has a guilt-complex as her mother knew the bitter truth, yet didn't tell them thus got cursed with her against their wills she felt she had no right to lead them.
She carried these feelings even if she wasn't at fault for her mother actions.
But indeed, they still resented their situation it took hell and back to regain what they lost and she was a living reminder of who kept the truth from them.
And now...
Another meeting will begin.
The only ones allowed absent, was Diantha who's firmly still a civilian and has no idea about the Mafia beyond flames, Arcobaleno and Vindice. Heck, in their missions before they got cursed, all she did was follow orders, fight and not ask anything. She killed and destroyed in her wake and all who got near Feng, died in a way that only a matchbox could fit their remains in for a funeral. Then there's Viper who never showed up, just sending his point of views in printed reports using his abilities. Out of all of them, he hated their situation the most and seeking ways to be cured.
Because Diantha works in a restaurant, something only the Arcobaleno knew, its not like she has anything to say in the meeting anyway...
But ever since her Pharmacy closed down, the number of amputees rose in the Mafia again.
It is said that when she became an Arcobaleno, a lot of agents from many famiglias tried to recruit her whether willing or by force, because she is just a civilian thinking she can be intimidated into coming, they were dead wrong; she killed over 5000 men and taxidermied all of them for display, all butt naked with very crude display of castration before vanishing. Without her specialties for low prices, it was back to normal, going to Mafia Hospital for high fees...or die like a dog in a ditch.

'OK, papa went out for a yearly meeting...right after New Year's Party.' Kousei stated as they were cleaning and packing up in preparation to go home.
New Year's Party always changes locations.
Be it Japan, Romania, Egypt, Amsterdam or America. This time, its in Romania. Charlie never married thus was content with the fire-breathing critters.
But on the years Kyoya was with them, there's a strict No-Magic Policy because he CAN'T be in the know. The only time he can't come is when its Charlie's turn to host.
Feng always ensures he gets to the Romania Location if ONLY for the dragons and was just as attached as Charlie was.
Any Chinese worth their salt sees dragons as a symbol of power. Feng was no different. And in Charlie's workplace, there's loads of them he was like a kid in Disneyland.
'Yup, that meeting.' said Diantha. 'I'm the only one who gets a free pass as let's face it, I run a restaurant all year, its nothing worldly newsworthy is it?'

And so...
Its not just that.
Since Kyoya left for home, Diantha would drop by for checkups twice a year. The first one was now.
She always ensures she comes on a weekend.
In Namimori, after school...
"Humm...what a tiny town." she mused as she explored the entire place in high speed that not even cameras can see her.
Namimori is a Juvenile Town.
Population: 10000.
There's nine schools here. Three each for Primary, Junior and Senior High Schools and some Cram Schools. Lots of shops, restaurants and buildings for work, but the salary level sucks. The highest one can go here is 400 grand, reserved for bosses.
Perhaps, to look after Kyouya and so he won't feel too lonely, she should open another branch here?
As much as she wants to, he worked hard to be independent...and as a Cloud, she cannot shackle him down by imposing herself in his territory.
Upon arriving in his school, exactly dismissal time in Namichuu...taking on her adult form using magic, appearing to what she imagined herself to look like if physically 30.
'Hey miss, who are you waiting for?' one of the students asked curiously, marveling at the beautiful foreigner whose looks are too good to be true.
'Oh, my cute nephew.' Diantha smiled. 'I'm also a doctor so I hope he didn't catch anything~'
'What's his name?'
'Hibari Kyoya.'
She suddenly earned fearful, wide-eyed looks from the students going home.
'That Demon Prefect?!'
'How on earth is he related to a nice lady?!'
'The difference is too far! Like Earth and Outer Space!'
Diantha sweatdropped. Apparently he became a feared Prefect!
'Er, where is he?'
'Second Floor, his office is near the library...they say he's the last to go home!'
'Thank you.' and Diantha walked with grace towards school, heading for said office. Upon getting there, she saw five boys in black outfits and pompadours reporting to Kyoya who also wore a black outfit instead of the school uniform.
The subordinates turned to see who came in and Kyoya looked up.
'Ah, oba-sama.' Kyoya greeted politely.
'Conveniently in school with a clinic, Kyoya.' Diantha smiled. 'Time for your bi-annual check-up~! I brought a ton of things today and your school grounds is useful~and don't worry, the damages will be paid for.'
"D-damages?!" the subordinates paled.
This lady seems nice but...
Kyoya stood up and opened the window and Diantha walked towards it before jumping out.
'Hey?!'
And Kyoya followed suit in silence.
'...our boss is scary and his aunt's way off our shit-o-meter...'
'Hush! You wanna die?!'

School Grounds...
There was an air of extreme bloodlust.
Kyoya against the smiling lady with the wooden suitcase. On a frigging mexican standoff in a fighting stance!
Fighting ensued and it was brutal.
The students and faculty rushed out to see what the chaos was.
Only to see a woman using a freaking TREE as a weapon against a boy yet act as if it weighed nothing.
What. The hell.
Tree aside, said student is fighting the foreign woman intending to kill, but was defeated in fifteen minutes.
That was after several craters on school grounds, holes in walls and even a destroyed baseball cage!
'Hmm! You improved, Kyo-chan~but really, you need more situational awareness and be more creative...you even had a chance to throw me but you didn't do it.' the foreign lady chided. 'In a fight, anything goes! Even playing dirty because in a fight, nothing's fair anymore, anything goes if your life is on the line! And also, this is training you are NOT supposed to hold back. I'm your auntie but I'm also a Grandmaster you know, I can handle your full power.'
'Sorry oba-sama, I'll do better next time.' Kyoya bowed from his waist like a student should.
'Now this time, full-power dear. Don't hold back. Holding back is only if your opponent is not worth the effort.'
By the end of the day, the first floor is a royal mess and Diantha gave the principal a nice check for the repairs. It was the only reason Kyoya wasn't expelled.
But really, a scheduled wrecking...?
The Principal wanted to cry.
What happened earlier was something only possible in movies...yet it happens in reality too!
'By the way kochou-sensei, plant some fruit trees in the grounds. My nephew isn't getting enough Vitamin C so I got rid of the useless trees in the grounds for their replacement.'
'Oba-sama, I get plenty at home already.' Kyoya sighed.
'Not good enough dear, you should be able to snack on healthy fruit on downtime if there's fruit trees in this school...and I know just the thing!' Diantha smiled as she wrote down a list. 'If the school can't get it, Uncle and I would, OK? Give us a call sweetie.'
'Sigh...hai, oba-sama.' Kyoya sighed. Its impossible to say no to two powerful carnivores...they're a dinosaur and he's a mere fire ant compared to them in strength. Lots more to work on.
In school next day, everyone is more terrified of Kyoya because of his Aunt whose monster strength enabled her to use trees as a weapon.

On the way home after treating Kyoya's injuries...
They had to save a boy from being bullied and Kyoya watched his aunt put the Herbivores in their place.
'Really now! What are their parents doing that their sons have become such hoodlums?!' Diantha fumed as she treated the boy's injuries with flame-laced alcohol and bandages but has yet to activate it as she sadly needs his injuries as proof they happened. He was fluffy and sweet-looking, like a kitten. But his face was wet with his tears and snot from the bullying. 'Really, if they can't discipline their children, they shouldn't have any in the first place! Are you OK dear?'
'T-thank you...' the kitten sniffled. 'B-but this happens every day...'
'Every day?!' Diantha looked appalled as this horrifyingly reminds her of her own childhood.
'Un...because I'm Dame-Tsuna...I don't do well in school and clumsy...so everyone thinks they can bully me. The teachers don't like me much and don't do anything.' the boy called Tsuna sniffled.
'Is that right?' Kyoya gulped at his aunt's dark voice. She's pissed. 'Take me to your school dear. I will have words with the faculty and perhaps, your parents too. A change of school is in order for your safety.'
(later that day, because the adults pissed her off, she sent a recording to the Department of Education)

Sawada Residence...
Diantha had a talk with the boy's mother, Sawada Nana about her son's situation after having Kyoya take the boy upstairs to his room so they can have an adult talk downstairs and not to come out until they're done.
'O-Oh dear...I always thought he was clumsy...I lost count on how many times he trips and falls downstairs at home...and now this?' Nana croaked out.
'Afraid so. Perhaps after a year of Online Correspondence at home plus tutoring to get his confidence back, transfer him to a new school.' said Diantha. 'His current school when I talked to them...who the hell gave them the job as educators? Teachers not just teach, but protect and discipline in school too and should be adults children can come to in times of need but they're apathetic and heartless!' she snarled as she banged her fist on the table making Nana wince. 'Your son is clearly a sweet, kind child but if too many bad things happen, that sweetness will disappear, becoming bitter and angry at the world eventually...I hope at least he has support at home from the nasty environment outside...'
'I'll talk with my husband when he gets home.' Nana gulped.
'I hope after a year of recovery he won't get bullied again...I'm checking on my nephew as his martial arts instructor but I can only do so twice a year as I run a restaurant...'
"Not to mention," she thought, "That boy...I can't get rid of it without being too obvious...so I put a timer on my magic in there. It'll be gone when conditions are met. The most I can do is help him in the learning department."

Hours later...
'Honey I'm home!' Sawada Iemitsu who was gone for a week called out but froze when he sensed it.
Very powerful traces of Cloud Flames in his home!
And his wife looked troubled. 'Nana, what's wrong?'
'Iemitsu...a kind lady with her nephew came by after helping our son out...he's being bullied horribly in the streets and in school...' Nana stammered out. 'She suggested an Online Correspondence, Home Tutoring and a stable support at home to recover from bullying...how soon can we do it?'
'Eh?! Bullying?!'
'Yes...how soon can we do it? Its not easy arranging all that...she was really angry because she saw those nasty boys bully our son, calling them a product of poor parenting and discipline while praising me for raising a sweet kind boy...but at the way things are going, Tsu-kun might hate the world and hate people because he always gets hurt, that's what she said.' Nana sniffled. 'Tsu-kun is upstairs, sleeping since she gave him medicine and tired from crying.'
'I-I see...did she give you a name?'
'No...but she's very beautiful and a foreign lady but a Japanese nephew...probably through marriage or something.' said Nana. 'But she's a little unusual.'
'Unusual?'
'Yes...in accessories any girl would wear cute things or fancy things...but she has a purple glass pacifier for a pendant.' said Nana. 'Its a little childish...'
'That's weird alright...' Iemitsu forced a smile while twitching.
Cloud Arcobaleno, She Mei, the lone civilian in the group but an Underworld Field Doctor for physical injuries and poisoning as well as being a pharmacist, currently married to the Storm Arcobaleno. But after gaining infamy from taking down those trying to recruit her, she vanished to parts unknown, her shop closed down much to dismay of many. The strongest Arcobaleno in terms of physical prowess.
And she stumbled on his son with her nephew?
Said nephew lives in this town?
Later that night...
'Tuna-fish? You awake? Time for dinner...' Iemitsu peered into his son's room to find the nine year old remove his bandages and unmarred skin.
'Uwah! Its all gone!' Tsuna gasped in marvel. 'That lady must have had super-medicine!' he exclaimed in amazement.
"Ehehehe super-medicine..." Iemitsu sweatdropped but was relieved a good person found his son, not some bastard...
But still, changes will have to be made or she might pay a visit again...
(Tsuna got smarter all of a sudden, doing well in lessons when before, he couldn't even get past 5% in his scores making Iemitsu wonder what else was done...and his wife decided school scared him so badly he performed badly when he's actually capable)

'What did you do to that kid, oba-sama?' Kyoya wondered as he was testing out his new weights. Before he had 70 kg full-body weights and now it upgraded to 100 kg.
'Well, I healed him from bad things he didn't know he had...he's cursed like me but his curse is different.' said Diantha in dismay. 'Its easy to get rid of so he'll be alright in a couple years.'
'That long?'
'Yes. Recovery will be slow though I got rid of it.' she lied to reassure her nephew. 'Do look after him when you have time, OK? Those boys are an example of poor parenting.'
'Hai, oba-sama.'
Kyoya was loved and doted on, but disciplined and learned right from wrong, and consequences of actions and decisions from his aunt and uncle so he would grow up a good, morally-upright, righteous man like his male cousins who he looked up to.
But since leaving 'home', a home of powerful carnivores, he didn't like being around herbivores.
But he can discipline just fine! Why, in a few months, he took over his school and nobody broke rules since!
