Summary: Sequel to Future Diaries: Death Battle. My own FD universe. Yukiteru and his gang finally met the Past Diary Users, they hung out and things were okay between them. But now they have a new enemy to face, a new set of Diary Holders?!
WARNING! OC'S INVOLVED! WARNING! OC'S INVOLVED!
I am also going to take a friend's advice to trry to ship Yukiteru with Sixth. I'm not particularly a YunoXYukiteru fan but I don't know who to ship him with because Ninth is too old for him and I was told Sixth was a good go. So I will try it.

STATIC.
Yukiteru wakes up to find himself back in the real world, Yuno, Ninth, Sixth and Ai with him from where they were before they were teleported. Everyone was present and everyone agreed to walk together to Eight's place.
When they arrived, the meeting already started.
According to their conversation, they will start looking for the backup that Mur Mur mentioned. They thought maybe it was Akise and his gang again so that was the first place to search. The other team will search and investigate for the 'Hunters' that may or may not have started their hunt already and last team will prepare for both defense and offense towards them.
"So the teams are divided this way," Bacchus says, "First, Second, Fifth and Sixth will be in charge of searching for the 'backup' that Mur Mur mentioned. Third, Fourth, Ninth and Tenth will be out searching for the Hunters and learn anything you can from them. And lastly, Sevenths, Eight, Twelve and me will be staying here to prepare the defense and offense plans."
(1, 2, 5, 6 xxxx 3, 4, 9, 10 xxxx 7, 8, 11, 12)
"Why is it so obvious that you are putting yourself in a safe team?" Ninth pointed out.
"It's not that! It's just that it isn't my forte to be out in the field!" he defends.
"Suspicious..." Fifth muttered.
"What makes you leader anyway? Shouldn't First be the leader?" Ai tells him.
"I agree with her." Fourth says and Bacchus scratches his head in annoyance.
"Because I am taking initiative to lead! I don't see Yukiteru having any interest in this matter! All he does is cower and use Second to protect him!" he continued to justify but everyone didn't seem to agree with him.
"I agree..." Yukiteru spoke. "...to Bacchus' plan."
"Yukii?"
"For now the best move is to gather intel on our enemy and allies until they make their move. If they start their move then our plans will change as well." Yukiteru says and everyone nodded in agreement.
"T- That's similar to what I said!" Bacchus complains.
"It makes more sense coming from First than you." Ninth uttered and that irritated Bacchus more than before.
"Well then, let's start our investigation!"
"Yes let's go!"
While everyone was with their own teams, Yukiteru was at home, telling his team that he forgot something and that he will catch up with them, not knowing that Yuno knows he was lying. Either way, Yuno chose to distract Rei and Tsubaki while Yukiteru does whatever he was planning to.
He was at home, thinking...
Static.
10/23 5:12 [Amano Household outside]
The pizza guy delivers the pizza in the wrong address.
10/23 5:15 [Amano Household outside]
Mail was delivered personally by a friend.
'What is this?'
Yukiteru got off the bed and opened the door before the pizza delivery person could ring the doorbell.
Iwada Mamoru, freaked out as he backed away from Yukiteru. "Whoa what are you a psychic?!" I haven't rang the doorbell yet!" As much as Mamoru was surprised, so was Yukiteru.
"Y- You?!"
"Oh you're the birthday boy who invited us to a party last time, huh? Thanks for that."
'Iwada Mamoru, he owns the past diary called Writers Diary, a diary that can see through old and deleted posts online. He used to hate me a lot, at least on the other world, but in this world, he was a neet who delivers pizza.'
"Uh yeah."
"Anyway this is-"
"No I didn't order any pizza, there must be some mistake!" Yukiteru tried to explain, the last thing he wants is to pay for a pizza that he didn't order.
"Oh but it's already been paid for!" Mamoru explains.
"What?" Behind Mamoru, a girl was walking towards them, she was holding a letter of invitation. "S- Saya?!"
"Tokuu and I want to return the favor for last time. So we're inviting you to my birthday." Saya says and gives him the letter she was holding. Yukiteru hesitantly took it from her hand. "Don't worry, you can invite your friends too."
"Saya... I.. I.." he wasn't sure how to explain it, but he doubts that his friends will accept to party when lives are on the line. "There's a lot that we have to do at the moment. I'm not sure we can-"
It was soft. Saya's lips were soft. And tasted that of strawberries. Yukiteru froze when Saya had planted her lips to his.
'N- No, this can't go any longer! If it does then Yuno...!'
He knew that Yuno can see the future and that right now she may be on her way back to try and prevent this from happening. He pushed her away with an obvious shocked expression in his face. Mamoru himself was surprised to see them kiss.
"Saya- you...!"
"I'm sorry. I just thought that I had to steal a kiss from you before I lose my chance." she says before walking away. Mamoru following after her.
'W- What just happened?'
Later, Yukiteru joins Yuno and the others at Sixth's place and there they spent their whole day finding no clue on what Mur Mur was talking about. "Backup", she could've meant a new set of diary holders or new technology.
Yukiteru asked how it went with Akise and the others but they said they knew nothing of the current news on Deus nor have they seen Mur Mur recently. It was almost as if they've reached a dead end. But Rei's keenness was still in tact.
"Say Yukiteru-niichan, what's that on your pocket that you've been hiding?" he asked, Yuno and Sixth suddenly eyed his pocket.
"W- What are you talking about?"
"You've been nervous while putting your hand in your pocket... what's in it?" Rei asked innocently.
"I- It's nothing!"
"Yukii, what is it?"
Yukiteru sighed in defeat as he brought out the folded invitation he received from Saya. Which reminds him, it was odd that Yuno was acting normal after that kiss and odder that she didn't show up or snapped when they met.
"Yuno... your diary..." he muttered.
"My diary?" Yuno tilted her head to the side, staring at Yukiteru in wonder. Then she picks up her diary from her pocket to see what he was talking about.
10/23 11:10 [Omekata Temple]
Rei-kun notices something odd about Yukii and I see it too!
What are you up to Yukii?
10/23 11:20 [Omekata Temple]
Yukii shows us an invitation letter from my past holder counterpart.
That wench! What does she need from my Yukii?!
10/23 11:30 [Omekata Temple]
Yukii convinces me to go to the party. If Yukii says so...
She turns to Yukiteru, wondering if he was sending some secret message. But it looked like he was disappointed in the results of Yuno's reaction. Now Yuno was more worried. What was he expecting exactly?
"Speak out First!" Rei shouts, "You're making Yuno-neechan worried!"
"W- Well, it's just that..." how was he going to say it? 'Is it best that Yuno doesn't know? If she doesn't then why? How? Was it only my imagination? No, the letter proves she was real... or was the kiss the only thing fake?'
"First..." Sixth was also worried now. Yukiteru was obviously acting odd.
'What do I do? I want to say something but Yuno might... Wait! Maybe... just maybe...!'
Yukiteru shows them the letter just as Yuno's diary had predicted, a letter that they also stared at in wonder, excluding Yuno who already knew. She was jealous, she was angry, but she couldn't react yet. No, not yet. She needs to hear what he has to say.
"I've been invited by Saya Mikazuki to her birthday party to repay our kindness for last time." he says. No need to lie about that part.
"But Yukii! We have a mission to do!"
"It's a waste of time to even consider it." Rei stated.
"Yes but what if they are the backup that Mur Mur was talking about?" Yukiteru pointed out. "I mean, they used to be past diary holders. What if Mur Mur and Deus also made alterations like they did with the diaries?"
"What sort of alterations? Like their memories are replaced with the one from the other world? Or there are clones of them again?" Tsubaki asked. Yukiteru wasn't sure. It was a spur of the moment idea after all.
"W- Well we'll never know unless we check them out!"
"But Yukii... what if it's a trap? What if they are the Hunters!" Yuno pointed out another possibility. It was possible but, it was a risk Yukiteru was willing to take.
"We should at least give this a try."
"Fine. I will join you. For Yuno-neechan's sake." Rei says.
"I will send my followers to protect you." Sixth offered. And all that was left was Yuno.
"Okay, I'm coming too."
Yukiteru wasn't sure it was a good idea though. "Yuno, I have an important mission for you."
[Location: Unknown]
"Did you find any diary holder yet?"
"No. But I have a suspect."
"Who?"
"Tsubaki Kasugano, the high priestess of the Omekata Temple."
