Another Random Thought based from another story, I think I don't have that much originality. Anyway, it's random so it doesn't matter.
This is important so read it: You might not understand some concepts if you're not familiar with Greek mythology. So read the end notes for this chapter to make some sense of the story if that is the case.
At any rate, thanks for your support, because of that I will continue writing better stories!

Here Comes Hades, Persephone
Nana had been a lot happier ever since I-pin and Lambo came to her house. From that day on, she had two more children to take care of and had twice the mischief added to that of Tsunayoshi. But as you see, even though life was harder for her, it was more fulfilling, for she had a daughter from that day forward.
Tsuna admitted that he liked the idea of having a sister, and I-pin was a promising one, though she kind of overshadowed him in academics, but it didn't matter. As long as his mother was happy, he was too.
As years passed by, change walked down the path time had prepared for her. And with that, Tsuna had become the Tenth boss of the Vongole family, while I-pin decided to have a pretty normal life. Although she lived with Nana, she still wanted to be independent, thus she took part-time jobs here and there to Nana's frustration.
Being a mother, she can't just let her daughter be out on the streets after sundown doing her job, but it pained her to cage I-pin at home on the other hand. There was nothing she could do but let her be, and to that, the daughter was contented.
One day, I-pin set out to go to school and Nana was troubled that she might get sick for working too much. All day she had been thinking of the young girl, and even got cut when preparing the vegetables for dinner.
"I hope she's fine," Nana spoke as she nursed her small cut.
That night, I-pin didn't come home, and Nana had been distraught thinking of all possible things happening to the said person. Despite the fact that she knew the young girl had been practicing martial arts, she was still a girl no matter what! Nana was afraid that she'll never hear from her again.
So she called Tsuna, who was in a meeting with his guardians, unbeknownst to her.
ioioioi
Tsuna had organized another meeting with his famiglia regarding a previous arrangement, that is, one of the six guardians will have to be sent to Italy since a lot of skirmishes had been rampant between local famiglia.
It was a miracle that all six were there, and that nobody was late. It was a miracle indeed, but such a thing according to Tsuna makes his stomach turn.
The conference commenced as Gokudera, Tsuna's right-hand man, specified the objectives. Questions were asked here and there, the most important being: "Who will be sent to Italy?" The Tenth generation boss swallowed as he was worried that his plan would not work, for he has some frightening guardians. Nevertheless, he spoke,
"We will decide who will be sent to Italy by voting." He declared then looked around, peering into the eyes of the other people who were there and saw that there were no objections. He continued, "You can abstain if you want." His last statement was directed at a specific person in the room but he looked at everyone instead.
Thus, the selection of which guardian had begun. The result was unanimous, and as Tsuna was told who it was, he hesitated for a bit because he knew what the outcome would be in the very beginning. He wished he just appointed him, but the blame would be his entirely. At least with the vote system, he wasn't totally at fault.
"Um," he started, "the one who will be sent to Italy will be Hibari Kyoya." Tsuna did not stutter, but in his mind he was aware that the cloud guardian will not approve. He was not afraid of Hibari biting him to death, but he was afraid that he'll have to busy himself thinking of whom to substitute. (Tsuna had grown and did not bother himself too much when it comes to threatening and scheming guardians.)
Everyone looked towards the sadistic disciplinarian's direction, and found him smiling.
"Is this acceptable?" Tsuna asked hesitantly but was met by a positive remark.
"Just make sure you herbivores don't make a mess out of Namimori." Hibari spoke and he didn't have to say his tag line for everyone to understand that it was an order.
ioioioi
The meeting was adjourned without too much chaos, and the members of the family poured out of the doors. Tsuna walked beside the Storm Guardian, the latter told the former to take a break while things are calm. The Tenth nodded yet sighed when he heard his phone buzz. He took it out of his coat's inner pocket and looked at who was calling him. Seeing that it was his mother, he answered her call with a serene hello.
"Tsuna, have you seen I-pin?" his mother started with a shaky voice. And he replied quickly,
"Um," Tsuna looked around to verify that I-pin was indeed there and saw her together with Lambo and Futa. "No, but I saw her a while ago, told me that she will be late tonight."
He heard a sigh from the other end, some messages, and little words of good bye and they hung up. He sighed to himself as well, how could he lie to his mother? *
ioioioi
I-pin had parted with her former companions and was currently walking in the corridors of the base in deep thought. Why you ask? It so happened when she was on her way to the meeting she accidentally bumped into the Cloud Guardian when she came into a corner.
She wasn't bitten to death but she was given a deadly glare so sharp that she felt her heart being cut out of her chest. Hibari was indeed vey frightening. But remembering him made her blush and in addition, the person in her contemplations was nearby!
I-pin heard him talking to Kusakabe while she neared them, apparently about some matters that had to be done while he was away. He dismissed his subordinate quickly when I-pin was a few steps in distance. He faced her and the blush on her face became more noticeable.
Just like a predator seeing its prey, Hibari narrowed his eyes as he felt his hormones make his desires alive. He lunged forward and surprised I-pin, barely giving her time to defend. He shoved her to a nearby wall and held her neck with a firm grip while his other hand held on to I-pin's crossed wrists.
"Weak arms," Hibari muttered while his face hovered a few centimeters from I-pin's, his breath brushing lightly on her cheeks, and to this she would have blushed but the heat of the moment made her forget that Hibari Kyoya was her attacker.
A kick to the shin was her plan, but Hibari has so much experience in fighting that he locked her legs by pressing his against them (his stance is at right angles with I-pin's, as her back made contact with the wall) and made another nasty comment, "And weak legs too." However, I-pin smiled at his remarks,
"Just because you're strong," she started at the same time as breaking his clench on her wrists and then moved away from his striking distance, "Doesn't mean I'm not going to fight back." Well, I-pin wasn't ranked the strongest female Mafioso for nothing.
"Perfect." He said, and roughly snatched her arm, heaving her off to some place else. She resisted by pulling at her arm but his grip only tightened. She tried to attack with her free arm but he twisted the other behind her back with a quick movement.
"Do you want to break your arm?" he asked quite coldly whilst twisting her arm more. And to that she winced, Hibari never had a concept of mercy.
'There's got to be a way out of this.' I-pin thought as she attempted to shake him off. But she froze when Hibari's lips neared her ear, a ticklish breathing made her uncomfortable.
"I don't want to hurt you so don't make me." He said; it was a threat a normal person would have been afraid of. But in I-pin's case, it made her struggle more. He growled, and turned her around thus removing his hold on her arm. It was sudden and his face was so close I-pin couldn't help but blush.
Then she felt a wave of pain pooling in her stomach, prompting her to look straight into his eyes to find an explanation but there was none. She held onto his coat and gasped for air as her vision darkened. She never knew how painful his rumored punch was until then. She did not clutch her abdomen for she did not want to show how pained she was, but her face betrayed her all the same.
"You… really a-are Hades…" those were her last words before she completely fainted in his arms. He smiled as he proceeded to carry her off and his voice echoed in the hall, saying
"And you are Persephone."
ioioioi
Bad news reached Tsuna that I-pin was nowhere to be found. His men even interrogated Lambo and Futa since they were the last ones to see her before her disappearance, but still no information about her. He slumped on his desk, his arms lolling over his paper works.
"Oh Zeus, where is I-pin?" His phone rang and he was surprised to see Hibari was calling him. Will the gods answer his questions through him? He answered it with shivering hands but a female voice spoke on the other line.
*Tsuna's POV*
"Hello Tsu-nii?" I freaked out when I heard I-pin's voice. Lots of question pervaded my mind like: Why is she using Hibari's phone? What's going on? The hell, Kyou-san has a lot of explaining to do.
"I-pin, is that really you?" I asked and heard her say yes, but her voice seemed different though. I can have my own doubts, right? "Where are you? Why are you using the Cloud Guardian's—" yet another voice spoke from the other side,
"Relax herbivore." It was Hibari Kyoya and my blood boiled when I heard him speak, "She'll be payment for this job."
He hung up before I can even say anything. Damn it! What will I say to Mom about I-pin being absent for six months?
*End of Tsuna's POV*
ioioioi
'Finally, after six months, Hibari was back along with my sister. I came to the airport even though it was against my schedule, I had to face him. If I could have just went to Italy and smacked him upside-down… Wait, here they come.'
The first one to come in sight was Hibari followed by I-pin. 'Wait what the hell!'
Tsuna freaked out when he saw I-pin's bulging stomach! Her dress didn't help to hide it, was she even trying to hide it? He gritted his teeth when they approached him, his adopted sister stood behind the Cloud Guardian, as if trying to hide her shame from Tsuna.
"I-pin," Tsuna ordered and she walked towards his side. He kept his eyes on the raven-haired man, and flames of anger lit his brown orbs. The man in the opposition just smirked then walked past the Tenth Vongole boss to escort I-pin to the car.
'He didn't even have guilt in him. And that made me angrier. But something stopped me from killing him, it was I-pin's eyes that did. I cannot proceed to hurt him for doing so will also hurt her.'
Why Hibari of all men? Why the god of that cold hell? That Tsuna asked himself.
ioioioi
I-pin came home and Nana had the same sentiments when she saw her daughter. I-pin will have to start explaining things soon, but she has a lot of time to do so. However, the thought of becoming a grandmother excited Nana more than anything.
After a few months, I-pin gave birth to a healthy boy who looked a lot like her but had ebony hair, and she named him Karasu. Hibari didn't come around the Sawada residence for the past six months, didn't even come near the bloc where it stood. Tsuna was glad for this but he knew such peace invited a tempest.
He needed to send Hibari to Italy for six months again, as a regular rain check, and I-pin, along with her son, inevitably disappeared as well.
End.
\End notes:
Here are some facts about this story:
Hades is the Greek god of the underworld. If you're wondering who Persephone is, she's the daughter of Demeter (the goddess of harvest). Persephone got kidnapped by Hades and was taken to the Underworld where she became his bride. Her mother wept and the humans grew hungry for no tree bore any fruit. So, every six months she returned to her mother by Zeus's plea bargain, and half of that span of time was known as spring and the other summer. After that she has to go back to the Underworld and that'll be the start of autumn and then the cold winter. That is the gist of the story of Persephone, and it's actually the legend of seasons.
Zeus is the supreme Greek god.
And Karasu is Raven in Niponggo.
~But then I thought Mukuro should rightly be the god of the Underworld; it's a random thought. XD
*I was thinking here that Nana doesn't know about what Tsuna does for a living. Meh, correct me if I'm wrong.
I never thought that reviews are so important if you're striving to be a better writer, and that, you should say what should be really said, that sometimes you have to say the truth even though you know it might hurt. Thanks to a certain user who can be attributed to a fig, although you don't know me; I only stumbled upon a review of yours and it made me realize my past mistakes. XD
Hey thanks for reading this long one. I hope you liked it. Criticisms are very welcome, opinions and suggestions are also welcome, as well as flaming.
Bon Journee! (Good Day!)
