The next day Ices and Blizzard were at the school gate doing inspections of the student's uniforms and making sure if anyone came late they would be punished, this was usually Kyoya's job, but he was off attending other businesses within the school.

Tsuna and his group walked to the gate and greeted the two sisters in which the received a cold and tired.

"Mornin' "from Blizzard and a cheerful.

"Good morning everyone." From Iceis; how can twin sisters have such opposite personalities?

"Hey, Tsuna!" Ices shouted with a bright smile on her face.

"We broke the ore and got our Vongola Gear" She touched the black necklace that lay over her bosom. The black necklace had four silver charms dangling from it; a fox, spear, cloud, and the Vongola Crest.

"Hahah Iceis, it kind of looks like mine! That's so cool, we match" Takeshi pointed out with a carefree smile. The group turned to look at Blizzard's new gear and she reluctantly held her hand out to show a black bracelet. Her Vongola Gear had five charms on it; a Lynx, cloud, a trident, a katana, and the Vongola Crest. Takeshi continued to point out that Blizzard's matched Hibari's in a way as well. With those points brought up, everyone gave a nervous laugh; the charms aren't the only thing alike for those two.

Tsuna pushed the thought of how alike the two sisters where to his two guardians and focused on how the two sisters were able to break the ore and the fact that it chose both of them.

"Okay, you saw our Vongola Gear now everyone get to class and Moke, if you're going to be here for the day then get a pass otherwise go home." Mukuro gave a click of his tongue as he dispersed his illusion.

"You're no fun, Blizzard" The pineapple haired illusionist wined with a playful pout.

Tsuna jumped back at the sight of Mukuro suddenly appearing, 'How long had he been with us?' Blizzard gave a smirk to the Mist guardian then turned to Iceis.

"You know if you ever get tired of the herbivores you can take a nap in the D.C office as usual" Iceis nodded with a goodbye wave to her sister as Blizzard turned away from them, vanishing into the school. Everyone but Ices and Mukuro headed off into the school.

"Blizzard's leg is badly injured but she did well at hiding it, it doesn't seem like anyone noticed. How are your injuries, Iceis?" He pointed to Iceis's side which had started to bleed again. With some embarrassment at her injury being revealed she pulled her jacket over her wound.

"I thank you for your concern, Mukuro, but Blizzard and I are fine. As long as we're back home with Kyoya then it doesn't even matter if we're hurt or not. Now if you'll excuse me, I must take my leave." Iceis politely said as she headed to the D.C office to re-dress her wounds and take a well-deserved nap.

Kyoya just returned to his office from stalking the halls; biting anyone to death if they dared try to skip class as he always does, he let out a sigh as he saw the mountain of paperwork that awaited him on his desk. As he moved his way to his desk, he noticed two bundles of fur curled up closely in the corner; Iceis's white collar had a fox holding a spear in its mouth while Blizzard's purple and indigo collar had a Lynx with a katana on its back.

Kyoya never recalled such charms adorning his snow guardian's collars before now, but decided to wave it off and focus on the dreaded paperwork. The third hour bell had just rung and Kyoya was halfway finished with his work when one of the two bundles of fur started to stir. Iceis pawed her way to the middle of the floor where she stretched out her stiff muscles; she stood up in human form and brushed the creases in her D.C uniform away neatly.

"I'm making tea, do you want some?" She smiled to Kyoya; knowing the answer to her question, "Un" he gave that acknowledgment as he flipped threw his papers.

Iceis hummed to herself softly as she entered the office's kitchen to pour some warm tea; she re-entered the quiet room with three cups of Kukicha tea on a platter. She put one cup of tea to the side of Kyoya's work so it wouldn't be in the way and the other two on the coffee table near the couch. As Iceis drank her tea she remembered the things Mukuro told them yesterday.

"Kyoya."

"Yes Iceis."

"Mukuro told us what happened to Blizzard after she was taken yesterday." Iceis looked up to see Hibari had stopped his work he was looking at her his hands folded. Placing his pen down Kyoya walked over and took a seat across from Iceis.

"Explain." With a smile Iceis told him about yesterday's events after he and Blizzard had left when she looked up Iceis saw the dark look on her master's face.

"See now that's the same reaction Mukuro and Tsuna gave we can't do anything about it now but stay together. Come on Kyoya you have paperwork to finish and Blizzard and I have our rounds." Iceis got a nod and Kyoya went back to his desk picking up her cup Iceis noted it was the perfect temperature seeing as Blizzard was still not up she spoke.

"Wake up Blizzard, I made tea. We have to make our rounds so you need to wake up, please" Her pleading statement only rewarded her a tired growl from the white furred wolf. Blizzard has always been hard to waken, but turning the heat up a few more degrees shall stir her up considerably; she detests warm temperatures. After the heater kicked on, the irritated wolf sat up and glared at the sister; her glare was returned with a cheerful smile.

"Good Morning". Blizzard clicked her tongue as she reluctantly got up from her spot to sit beside Iceis on the couch.

"When you've had your tea we'll head out, okay?" Blizzard answered into her cup as she guzzled down the last of her tea.

The day went by lazily; no one tried to ditch class nor was late and Kyoya was busy going over school damage repairs with the principal. With such little activity Blizzard slowly become irritable and sleepy, but of course she couldn't nap anymore because she is on after-school duty; standing by the gate and making sure no one lingers around the school grounds for too long.

Blizzard sat atop of the wall next to the gates; glaring at all who pass by when she noticed Iceis making her way over to her.

"Kyoya is done with all of his meetings and paperwork for the day, I told him we would all walk home together." As Iceis relayed the message to her sister they saw people suddenly rushing to leave campus with scared expressions; they both gave a giggle 'Kyoya must be on his way'. Blizzard sat more casually atop of the wall as she watched the last of the strays scurrying out of the gates with an amused smile on her face. Kyoya finally came out of the school and made his way to them Iceis's cell phone rang,

"Hello, Squalo-San. How may I help yo- What? What do you mean they were attacked, are they okay?" Iceis grew quiet for a moment before closing her cell phone, her worried expression flashed between Kyoya and Blizzard.

"Squalo-San said Xanxus and Fang came back from a mission mortally wounded, but they are stable now. He wanted to inform us this and that was all"

Blizzard couldn't help but be shocked at such news; how could their brother, Fang, be defeated and so heavily injured?

"Blizzard, what should we do?" The white haired girl looked blankly at her sister from atop of the wall, after a moment the shock soon wore off and was replaced with rage.

"I'm going to find whoever did this and make them pay for it." A growl escaped her throat as she pushed herself off the wall and back onto the ground.

"You can stay here with Kyoya or come with me; it's your decision, Iceis" Without listening to a reply, Blizzard started to stalk away when Kyoya spoke.

"What do you think you're doing, Blizzard?" The menace in his voice made her stop in her tracks, she looked behind her with a deadpan expression.

"Whatever I want." Kyoya's lip curled up as he stepped forward.

"I just got you both back and even if it is you, Blizzard, I will bite you to death." Iceis moved in front of Kyoya.

"You're still injured from breaking the ore yesterday and Kyoya doesn't want you leaving his side just yet; please respect that, Blizzard." Her impassive look gave way to a glint of sadness.

"I'm sorry Kyoya, but I'm leaving wither you like it or not, this is for my brother." She shifted into wolf form and quickly shot down the street; Kyoya made haste to go after her so he could fully discipline the stupid dog for not listening to his orders.

Iceis was on Kyoya's heels when they quickly turned a corner; Kyoya jumped over the sudden obstacle with grace, but Iceis didn't comprehend what happened till it was too late; she crashed full speed into Takeshi's chest. Quick, strong arms caught her before she fell to the floor.

"Whoa, be careful Iceis! You could have hurt yourself." She didn't pay attention to his words; with him still holding her she tried to look behind him to seek out Blizzard's form, but her actions were unavailing; she couldn't see anything past Tsuna and his guardians.

She attempted to politely ask Takeshi to let go of her when Tsuna frantically turned to Kyoya, who was on the other side of the group.

"Hibari-San, Xanxus and Fang were attacked! They're hurt really bad, they might die!" Tsuna was hyperventilating and his eyes started to cloud with tears when Kyoya grabbed his face.

"Stop it, Tsunayoshi. They're in stable condition now so stop acting like a herbivore when I know you're an omnivore" The brunet looked at the prefect for a moment before taking a breath to calm himself; he touched Kyoya's hands and smiled up at him

.

"Thanks, Hibari-San. I've calmed down now. I just have to have faith that they'll recover completely, right?"

Kyoya's cold features softened ever so slightly as he pulled his hands away from the brunet's face. Tsuna gave a smile before he stepped back to look at Iceis and Kyoya both.

"We knew you guys would still be at school so we came to tell you about Xanxus but why were you running around the corner like that; what happened?" Kyoya turned his head away, irritation clearly painted on his features which made Tsuna wish he didn't ask.

Iceis gave pleading eyes to Hayato to help her shake off the Rain guardian whom still hadn't realized he was holding on to her; Hayato touched Takeshi's shoulder making him release the young girl.

Takeshi flashed an apologetic smile to Iceis as he laughed and moved closer to Hayato in which the storm guardian looked away bashfully.

"To answer your question, Tsuna, we were chasing after Blizzard."
"Blizzard? That explains why she isn't with you two, but why are you chasing after her?" Tsuna looked to them puzzled and a tad worried.

"Blizzard is being irrational, overly hasty, and thoughtless to Fangs feelings. She wants to go and kill the people who hurt Xanxus and Fang all by herself, I understand her feelings because he's my brother too, but she lacks sensibility to the people around her. Fang wouldn't want anyone to take revenge for him; he would want to kill the bastard himself. She didn't listen to Kyoya or I; she just left by herself to get killed. We tried stopping her, but then we ran into you guys; with her speed she was gone as soon as we paused." Iceis stated, irritated at what her sister is doing and how much she is making the family worry.

"I apologize on behalf of my sister, but can you help us stop her?" She bowed her head down pleadingly.

The next day, Tsuna called for a meeting on the rooftop so that they could talk about the situation with Blizzard. They came to the conclusion yesterday that it was too hasty to go after her right then; they didn't know where she was headed after all.

Kyoya decided to send out Hibird and his underlings to go gather information on the whereabouts of either Blizzard or Xanxus and Fang's attackers, but with no word on either so far you could expect Kyoya's temper to be at its peak; the poor souls who cross Kyoya this day would be leaving in a body bag.

Everyone arrived at the rooftop just as promised; even the irritated Kyoya was there on time. The team was in the middle of discussing how to conduct the search and their plan for retrieval when the Namimori anthem floated around the rooftop.

"Speak and make it quick" Kyoya turned away from the group irritatedly but stopped halfway when he heard the voice on the other end.

"Kyoya" Blizzard's voice rang clear through the phone which excited the group behind him; to Kyoya's ears she sounded strange.

"Where are you? I've tried to call you multiple times, Carnivore. Did you find the attackers and are you okay?" He demanded to know sternly as he put the phone on speaker.

"Kyoya, I found them. The Estraneo bastards were the ones who did it; they wanted Fang's Snow flames. The Snow flame is needed to take down the Vongola so gather all of the Snow flame Guardians and their charges in one place; it'll be easier to protect them that way and we'll have more power with numbers." By the sound of her voice and hurried manner Kyoya could tell it was serious.

"Don't worry, carnivore; I'll gather the herbivores, but you need to tell us where you are." His blatant tone gave way to some emotion, but it was received with a sharp.

"No, there's no need. I'll be back Iceis will have to suffice for now, don't worry; you're in good hands." With that confident comment she hung up before Kyoya could protest.

Tsuna, a little muddled at the fast pace conversation and the thought of Kyoya being commanded in such a way, started to speak.

"I guess we should do as she says? Reborn, I know you're there, will you help your future boss?" Tsuna gave an uncharacteristic smirk up to the water tower.

"Dame Tsuna, you're getting sharper. You shouldn't even need to ask, we first need to figure what Snow Guardians are left and where they are." Reborn tactfully jumped from the high water tower to Tsuna's side.

Hayato stepped up to answer Reborn's question.

"We have Iceis and Kyoya, Xanxus and Fang are at the Vongola base, Colonello, Lal, and Snowy are in Italy; we could go there CEDAF could help us, and finally we can set out marshmallows to attract Frost and Byakuran." Hayato tried to give some slight humor to the situation which Tsuna appreciated.

He looked to Kyoya, but saw vexation carved deep into the guardian's facial features; Tsuna turned to him and placed a gentle, reassuring hand on his arm.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine. Once we gather the rest of the Snow guardians we'll go and find her." Tsuna gave an upward glance to the skylark's face in hope of finding some exasperation gone from his features, but was received with a cold glare.

Kyoya shrugged the young boys caring hand away and swiftly left the roof top; Iceis gave a sad look to the slammed door and the forlorn boy standing where Kyoya had left him. She gave a gentle smile and a bow of her head to Tsuna as she also left the rooftop to catch up to Kyoya; they walked in hurried silence to the D.C. office.

Tsuna tried not to be shaken by his cloud guardian's cold behavior to him; he was always like this, but since Blizzard and Iceis came back he had become more sincere in his own way. He could still feel Kyoya's strong, gentle hands touching his face as he calmed him down from his panic attack.

He got too used to his sudden compassion so when he showed his usual character it hurt him twice as much. Tsuna looked up with new determination, 'there's no time to sit around and sulk about Kyoya being Kyoya, I just have to focus on the snow guardians and in turn Blizzard.' Tsuna took a deep breath before a thought came to him turning to face Reborn he spoke.

"Reborn do you think Grandpa would let us stay at the Vongola mansion I have a feeling Blizzards somewhere in Italy."

"I'll make the call."

It was the first day of the third month; Lal and Colonello flew to the mansion with some CEDAF agents by their sides, Frost and Byakuran found their way to Tsuna on their own schedules, and Xanxus and Fang were still in need of bed rest, but their condition had greatly improved. All the guardians had gathered in one area, all except for Blizzard.

Tsuna called a gathering in one of the many rooms within the mansion he got the meeting started quickly, they needed to go over what had happened and who was involved; as the group chattered away Kyoya stood near the window solemnly.

It was fairly peaceful, all but the talkative group behind him, when his cell phone rang just as it did the last meeting. The ringing of the cell phone grabbed Tsuna's attention away from the meeting and to Kyoya, by the look on his face it must be Blizzard.

"Blizzard, you better have a good reason it took you this long, it's been months!"
"I'll explain later, but I found the Estraneo's base. I'm sending you the coordinates now; I'll wait three days for you guys before I go in on my own." She hung up on him once again which enraged the prefect even more because he had no control over the haughty Snow guardian.

"Blizzard! Blizzard!" He shouted repeatedly into the disconnected phone; the dial tone rang teasingly into his ear. His face distorted sourly as he threw his phone with such vigor that the cell phone shattered on impact with the wall. He stormed out with his head held low, eyes shadowed; Tsuna felt a pain in his chest as he watched Kyoya leave.

Hayato tried to lighten his boss's mood by looking on the bright side.

"Juudaime, this is big for the Vongola, no, for you!" Just as Hayato said that Reborn's phone went off as well; Blizzard had sent him the coordinates. By the look on Reborn's face Tsuna unconsciously asked.

"Reborn, what is it?" staring intently at the screen of his cell phone, his mouth formed a stern line as he flipped it shut and left without answering the brunette.

Iceis had followed her charge as soon as he departed from the group, she knew he was about to explode with frustration and she just wanted to be there to make sure he didn't cause too much damage, but she wasn't quick enough; a loud eruption echoed through the mansion from the training.
