"Whaaa! This is bad, this is bad!" a male with short but messy/spiky grass green hair cried going berserk. "This is very, very, very bad!"
"What are you doing Kondo-senpai?" Junko asked watching the said man pace around the room. Besides the green hair, Kondo had chestnut brown eyes, a black long sleeved shirt with a white scarf around his neck, blue jeans, with several sais hanging from his belt, and a winged ring with a purple gemstone on his right middle finger. The said man didn't hear what the Lightning Mare Ring holder had to say, he kept pacing and panicking about whatever he was panicking about.
"How could I let this happen? I'm a failure!"
"Will ya get a grip baka?" Ichinose hissed annoyed by 'failure.' "Suguru are you gonna beat some sense into this time?"
"I thought it was your turn," The samurai sighed used to Kondo's outburst.
"Oh-oh I call dips this time!" Junko squealed raising her hand.
"You seem a little too eager to do this Junko-chan," Iida pointed out shaking his head.
"I am not!" The only female in the room said before turning to Kondo. "Go-men-a-sai sen-pai!~" She smiled sweetly before she kicked him in the head, causing the taller to fall. Everyone could see a little sprit coming out from his mouth before the girl shoved the ghost back into its body.
"Eh?" Kondo blinked a few times before getting back up. "Edo. . . What happened?"
"You were having another one of your panic attacks oh fearless leader, Kondo-kun," Iida smiled amused at the right-hand-man of the Watatsumi Famiglia.
"What got you riled up this time, baka?" the dagger user asked propping up his feet on the coffee table. A sheathed sword whacked the blond's head. (Guess who!) "What was that for bastard?"
"Please get your feet of the table." Suguru asked politely after he violently got the other's attention.
"Okay, but was that really necessary?" the Storm Watatsumi asked rubbing his sore head. "I swear you take every chance you get to hit me with that sword of yours," he mumbled.
"It's because you're stuuuuuuuuuuuupid poop head. Unlike cool Suguru-senpai!" Junko stated with a smile on her face.
"Why you little!" This started a very comical fight between the two with Suguru simply sipping tea in the middle of it. He honestly didn't feel like stopping it this time, he was tired.
"Ahaha," Iida laughed at the scene before him as Kondo sat beside him. The leaf green man sighed as the plop down beside the illusionist. "So, what happened this time, Kondo-kun?"
"Yukari-sama left and now I have no idea where she's at. And with the Vongola and Arcobaleno out, I'm worried for her safety," the sai handler sighed thinking about the girl.
"Yukari-chan is strong, she'll be okay," Iida comforted patting the other's back.
"Still I'm worried. . . That's it, I'm gonna call out a search party!" the Right-Hand-Man of the Watatsumi declared standing back up, looking heroic. "We're going to find Yukari-sama even if it kills us, for the sake of the Watatsumi! Someone go get Kiuchi-san to help us!" After the short speech Kondo then saw that no one had really paid attention. Ichionse and Junko were still fighting, Suguru was now writing haikus, and Iida. . . well he was just laughing at how serious and brave he sounded.
"Ne Kondo-kun, you sound like someone from a manga," the auburn haired man chuckled falling back into his chair. "Don't worry about Yukari-chan."
"Fine, if you guys won't help me, I'll do it myself!" the Cloud Gaurdian stated getting up and leaving his teammates. No one really noticed or cared that he left, they were too busy doing other things. "I'll save you, even if no one else will! YUKARI-SAMA!" (A/N: When did she need saved? I thought she just went out.) As soon as the energetic green haired man left, a well build, squinty eyed, buzz-cut brunette walked in. He wore a white t-shirt that did little to hide her well build muscles, orange and green sweat pants, and a necklace that held the Sun Mare Ring on it. In his hands was a bowel of steaming ramen with pork and vegetables.
"Ano, is Kondo going out to get some food?" the forever-hungry man asked brining some noodles to his mouth.
"Iie," Iida shook his head, "He's off on another Yukari-chan mission, Kiuchi-san."
"Oh. . . Well just so you know we're out of pork." Kiuchi said not surprised at the news.
"Okay, I'll send Ichi out later," the illusionist said with smile on his face.
"What? Why me? Why not this brat?" the blond said pulling at Junko's cheeks. While she was making funny sounds, Suguru had it with the two's fighting and stepped in by swinging his sword at a certain Storm Gaurdian's head. However, he decided to get sneaky and moved so that the Lightning Guardian got hit instead of him, causing the girl to cry. The samurai glared at Ichinose before turning away and returning to his haikus.
"What, you have nothing to say to that Suguru? Huh? Huh? Hahhahahahah!" Ichinose laughed feeling superior to the Rain Guardian.
"I always wonder why we haven't killed each other yet," Kiuchi mused finishing his ramen with one large gulp.
"Ahahahah, only god knows," the Mist Guaridan laughed.

Everyone was gathered in Tsuna's living room. Needless to say it was crowded, but beggars can't be choosers. In the front once again all the Arcobaleno Babies were waiting for everyone to settle down. Though with the Lambos there, it was nearly impossible. Only after a couple of good whacks did the toddlers shut up, and that was only because they were pasted out.
Clearing his throat Reborn started to speak, "Now we know that the power of the Vongola Ring is split between you and the other holder of your Vongola Ring. And we think we found out how to restore the power, like the Lambos have accomplished. You must be in harmony with one another. Meaning you must act like one person and not two separate bodies. And I know that this is going to be hard to accomplish, but it's the only way to face against the Watatsumi." He looked around to see if everyone understood what he just said, before explaining his new training program that the Vongola Gaurdians would go through. "So for everyone to sync with each other, you will spend time with each other. Training, and getting to know each other, until you can harmonize with one another. You may choose how you will find this balance, but you must make haste. The Watatsumi may attack at anytime."
Everyone nodded in understanding, and broke off into their respective two man group. Before they all left, Reborn had a short conversation with AU!Hibari, AU!Mukuro, AU!Gokudera, AU!Tsuna, Ryohei, and Yamamoto separately. His goal was to tell the more mature, reasonable, and brave one out of the duos to try to get to get the other to open up more because the other would have a hard time syncing otherwise. It was those six's goal to be the 'tutor' between them, and make the first step towards harmonizing.
Almost all the guardians headed over to Namimori Middle School. The Lightening Guardians went to Namimori park with the non fighters, Skull, and Fon. And the Vongola Decimos stayed home with Reborn. Everyone else when to the school, however they spitted up into their separate areas, the perfects were on the school's roof, illusionists in the gymnasium, brother and sister were in the boxing club area, swordsmen out on the baseball field, and the bombers were in the library. The Arcobalenos Colonnello and Mammom were watching over everyone training from the roof. While Verde was away doing researched on their situation and anything else that seemed to catch his interest.
"I don't know why I have to be here," the Mist Arcobaleno sighed looking at all the brats and their training. "If I'm not being paid I don't see why I should be here."
"Oi, this is a part of your duty as a Arcobaleno, kora!" the military baby stated annoyed at Viper's attitude.
"Yare yare, this is a pain."
"Quit it with the attitude Viper, not everything is about money."
"I beg to differ on that," The Varia member sighed annoyed by the blond baby. "And the name is Mammom." Mammon then lifted one of his illusions that allowed the Rain Arcobaleno to see who else was here beside the names that had been stated thus far.
"Fool, you let your back wide open for an attack!" a blue haired baby scolded before kicking the camouflage wearing baby. In an instant Colonnello blocked the kick with an arm before attack as well, blocking, punching, kicking, twisting and turning the two were in a dead lock.
"Ku, looks like I don't need to be here if you're here," Mammon said disappearing in his mist flame, leaving his fellow Arcobaleno to fend for himself.
"Oi! Wait kora!" the blond said letting his guard down, allowing himself to be hit. The other baby then slapped him and reprimand him for being too easily distracted. Once Colonnello's beating was done, he rubbed his sore checks. Smiling, he greeted, "Yo Lal. What are you doing here?"
"You tell me, I was doing some reconnaissance in France and then I found myself here. Where are we anyways?" the Corrupted Arcobaleno asked looking at the strange sky. Colonnello then began to inform his old teacher on everything that had happened and what the Vongola was doing right now. Once she understood the situation she said, "Ah, so we're going to observe and make sure the kids find this harmony quickly."
"Hai."
"Damnit, I hate watching over brats," the blunt female spat looking down at the Hibari's and their training.
"Why? You seemed to enjoy watching over me back in the day, kora!" the blond teased with a smirk.
A flustered and blushing Lal could only respond with a "Shut up baka!" before she leaped down to check up on the others.
xXxXx
"Yosh! We're gonna train to the EXTREME!" Ryohei cheered getting pumped up for his time with this AU!sister. "Come on Kyoko-chan let's warm up!"
"H-Hai!" the brunette said not sure how to react to this male that was her "brother." She was both happy and confused on how to react to Ryohei, it was nerve racking. Deciding it was best to just push on live in the moment she began her normal warm-up exercises. Soon the two had gloves on, and were hitting each other's palms. However, her heart wasn't in her swings today, her mind kept thinking about the energetic teen she was punching at.
"Are you okay Kyoko-chan? Do you need to rest?" the silverette asked worried for his little sister's alternate.
"NO! I 'm fine!" AU!Kyoko said trying to snap out of her daze. Hitting her boxing-gloves together she tried to get her mind focus in training with her brother.
"You're not, tell me what's up. I am your older brother after all." Ryohei decided it was time to use the help that the kid gave him. He already knew he was dead in her world, but he didn't know how she had and still was dealing with it. Taking off his gloves he sat down, he wasn't going to spar with Kyoko until he got her to open up.
"I said I'm fine Ryohei," the younger teen said once again, though she wasn't fooling either of them. She got angry when she saw the other just take a drink of water, not even listening to what she just said. "I don't need your protection or worry. I can handle myself."
"So this is what would have happen if I haven't been around for Kyoko-chan. She would have become a liar," the older teen sighed resting his back on the wall.
"What do you know? You're dead in my world!" the female yelled, regretting her words as soon as they were voiced. Ashamed of her actions, Kyoko fled the boxing club room. Her "onii-san" stood up, wanting to follow her, however Colonnello stood in the path between him and the other Sun Guardian. The bandana wearing blond shook his head, telling the other not to follow.
"B-but Kyoko-chan is-"
"Is confused, and needs time to figure things out. I don't know why, but women always needs their space to think things out, kora," the Rain Arcobaleno fisnished turning his back on one of his students to watch another leave. Ryohei sighed in defeat and sat back down on the bench, his own thoughts running in his head.
xXxXx
Mukuro and Chrome were standing inside the gym, the female was unsure of what to do. She was just standing there in aw being near Mukuro, even if he wasn't from her world. A maiden's blush came to the one-eyed girl's face as she saw AU!Mukuro look and smile at her.
"Is something the matter, Chrome?" the taller teen asked the purple hair girl. At the moment, she couldn't find her voice, so instead she just shook her head. "Kufufu. . . It's alright little Chrome. You can speak to me, I'm not going to hurt you," he comforted as he stroked her left check with a gloved hand. The close contact made the smaller Mist Guardian light blush turn crimson. That's when she saw a tear or two sliding down the other's face.
"Wh-Why are you crying, Mukuro-sama?" Chrome asked worried for the other illusionist. Did she do something wrong to upset him? She whole heartily hoped not.
"Kufufu. . . I'm just glad to be able to see and touch Chrome again. Even if we're from different worlds," the two-eyed-tone male said with a sour smile. "Ever since I came here, I lost connection to my cute Chrome, and it feels strange. Not being able to feel her, I worry if she still is alive without my presence in our world."
"I'm sure she's alright."
"Kufufu. . . Such sweet words from a sweet child, if only they were to someone who deserves it."
"What do you mean?"
"I am a sinner who finally paying his retributions, I am doomed to be in self solitude forever." This confused Chrome, she didn't really understand his words. When Murkuro saw how confused the other was he then explained everything about his life, from Nagi losing her organs, to Ken and Chikusa dying trying to save her. The bluette would always self criticize himself, calling himself horrible names. The only thing canon Chrome could do was sand and stare as the taller pineapple head tell his sorrowful tale.
"It's alright Mukuro-sama, things will get better I promise," the purple haired girl said hugging the taller.
Lightly squeezing back the taller said," Kufufu. . . I am truly sorry Chrome. Forcing my pain and sadness onto you, not even considering the emotions you're going through."
"It's fine, I'm happy that Mukuro-sama can trust me with these private thoughts, even if you're not from my world," she said letting go.
"Kufufu. . . I hope that my other self, Ken and Chikusa are treating you well. You deserve it."
"Thank you."
"Now that I have told you mine, I think it's time for you to tell me yours," Mukuro said. Chrome nodded, and started to tell everything that had happened to her, from first meeting Tsuna and the Vongola, to her times in the future. All the while, the taller was paying close attention, trying to understand this Chrome's thoughts and personality. When she was finished speaking the bluette smiled and laughed at her, "Kufufu. . . It seems like you love my other self, as well as someone else."
Shocked that the other could read her so easily, Chrome looked to the floor examining her black boots and mumbled," H-Hai. . . Gomenasai." For the longest time, her heart was given to Mukuro, but when she went to the future someone else caught her eye, and that slowly turned into love as well.
"Kufufu. . . It's okay, I only wish you to be happy. I have no control over your heart, that is yours and yours alone."
"Arigato Mukuro-sama."
xXxXx
"Ahcoo!" canon Hibari sneezed, was someone talking about him behind his back? Well no matter, the important thing was that he was going to fight himself. Clutching his tonfas he ready himself to fight himself from another world.
"Whoa! What are you doing? I don't want a fight!" the more pathetic skylark said trying to back away from the crazy blood thirsty other.
"I wonder which one of us is able to bite the other to death?" the cold hearted perfect mused charging at his alternate. However, he wasn't able to get a hit, the other kept easily dogging all his attacks. So this is how it felt to be fighting yourself, it was thrilling.
When AU!Hibari saw that his evasions only encourage the other to fight more he finally gave up on trying to synchronize peacefully. Reborn warned him that his other self was a blood thirsty monster, he just didn't believe it until now. Brining out his own metal tonfas he ready himself to spar with the other skylark. Closing his eyes he calmed himself, and let go of his temperamental childish side for a moment. If he was going to fight himself, he would need to be calm, just like his boyfri- Dino taught him.
When he opened them he gave his other a devious smirked before saying their catch phrase, "I'll bite you to death."
As the two were charging at each other, a purple light shined from their rings they glowed with the cloud flame. However, the skylarks paid little attention to what happened, they were focused on trying to bite the other to death.
xXxXx
"Why are we here?" AU!Yamamoto asked staring at the baseball field. He eyed the pitcher's mound and scowled, he hated it here.
"Ahahah, the baseball field is like my third home. Gokudera and my place being my first and second," the happy-go-lucky teen laughed. "Do you not play baseball?"
"There really is a difference between the two worlds," the scared other sighed ignoring his alternate's question. "I'm guessing she treated you well after the accident."
"Eh? 'She?' Accident? What are you talking about?"
"You know, that accident where pops di- Wait you're shitting me, he didn't died?" In his mind, the badass Takeshi was thinking about how he and his other self could be so different. If he still had his dad, then that meant he lived a life he only knew for a short while.
"No, dad still alive, but are you talking about that accident? Where she died?" the canon Rain Guardian asked trying to follow the other's thought plan. If he could break through to the other, then their job of synchronizing would be much easier.
However, the other swordsman didn't need or want anything else to be said. He knew what he needed to know, and what he knew was that the baseball fan was much, much luckier that he was. "Forget it, let's just train," he said pulling out his woodedn sword. He found it in his attic one day, and learn how to use it himself. And sometimes, when push came to shove he could turn it into a steel katana that could cut through almost anything.
"Okay. . ." the other said taking out Shigure Kintoki. The two swordsman then began to spar, however since they did not have not even one shred of understanding between them, it was waste of time.
xXxXx
Sitting up straight AU!Hayato nervously thought about his fellow Storm Guardian, and what he thought of him. Ever since he saw him and his Takeshi in the middle of foreplay, he couldn't look at the other in the eye. Or himself for that matter, because they shared the same face. When he looed at the other, he would always think about having Yamamoto touch him like that.
"Gahh!" he yelled fluted shaking his head, trying to get those thoughts away and out of his head.
"What's your problem?" canon Gokudera asked looking up from his book on aliens.
"N-Nothing! Noting at all!" the more timid bomber lied with a fake smiled.
"Am I really that bad of a liar?" The other asked himself starring at his other; it was really like looking at a mirror. The other just made weird sounds, like he was trying to contact an U.M.A. Remembering last night, he blushed and asked, "Are you still thinking about what you caught me doing with that idiot?"
"Hai. . ." Inside his head the temperamental bomber debated whether or not he should speak more on the subject, however the other spoke before him. "I didn't mean to see that, and I'm sorry for trying to kiss your Yamamoto. But I. . ." the silverette had a strange far off look that the other recognized well. He was thinking about something he didn't really want to say.
Sighing the motherless Hayato put his book down, and reached into his sweatshirt pocket to take out a sphere. It was white with red lines, and in black marker it had a certain Rain Guardian's name.
"Does this have to do with anything?" canon Gokudera asked placing the baseball in front of his alternate. He hate to admit it, but he kept the little ball on his person ever since he found it, only because it reminded him of the Takeshi that he cared for.
"Where did you get that?" the sister-less Hayato gasped wide eyed.
"Answer the damn question!"
This scared the more kinder Italian a little. Sitting back up straight, and blushing, he answered, "Hai, it does. . ."
"Care to tell why?"
AU!Gokduera bit his lip wondering if he should tell his other everything. Well they were the same person, and since he was with his world's Yamamoto, it would be okay. Opening his mouth he began to speak.
xXxXx
The Vongola Decimos didn't train at all, instead they simply got to know one another. Comparing and contrasting the differences between themselves and their world. More often than not canon Tsuna would look at his alternate in aw at how awesome and cool he was in the other world, or at least he thought he was cool. The AU!Tsuna would just laugh at how childish and timid he was in his world. Despite all differences they were a lot alike; in fact they were able to get sync easily when they talked about their friends and family.
However, Reborn wasn't satisfied with the results so far. "Dame-Tsunas!" he said whacking his students with his feet.
"What was that for Reborn-san?" canon Tsuna asked rubbing his head.
"We managed to synchronize, what else do we need to do?" the AU!Decimo said rubbing his head as well.
"Bakas, can't you tell that your flames are only at a C level of purity, B at best?" the Arcobaleno asked annoyed at how stupid his students were being at the moment.
"They are?" both said at the same time, casing their rings to light up once again. Before the moment was gone, they looked down at their Vongola Rings to see that indeed their flames were not as strong as usual. Confused, both looked up at their tutor.
"I cannot help you on how you're going to get your flames stronger, but I just know that you don't have a chance if you're like this," the Sun Arcobaleno said being honest. His students nodded in understanding, they knew that they had to work harder and find perfect harmony between one another. Without saying anything both went outside and took a Hyper Dying Will Mode Pill and trained with each other. The baby hitman stood by the window, watching over the two Vongola Bosses.
xXxXx
"Ne, think she's still alive?" a Lambo asked his other, poking at her cheek.
"I don't know, one way to find out!" the other said taking his finger out of his nose and moved it towards the sleeping girl's face.
"Stop it!" both I-pins scolded kicking both Lambos.
"Weeee!" Both yelled as they rolled away from the Chinese girls down the hill. This woke up the sleeping girl.
"Eh?" She sat up from the grassy patch rubbing her eyes. She had long wavy silver blue hair, with matching eyes. She wore only a white summer's dress that reached down to her shins, and a necklace that went under her dress, hiding the thing it held on it, her innocent looks were only multiplied by her soft crystal clear voice. "What's going on?"
"Sorry for waking you up," AU!I-pin apologized for the cows kids.
"It's fine," She held out her hand. "What's your name?"
"I-pin!" Both greeted at the same time, causing the girl to laugh a sweet melodic laugh.
She didn't ask or wonder why they had the same name, instead she smile and said, "Nice to meet you I-pin, I-pin. My name is Yukari."
Well now you have met all the Watatsumi. I'm so happy that I been getting mostly good reviews on them. I know haven't said their ages so I'll say them here. Ichinose and Suguru are 25-ish. Junko is 15-ish if not younger. Iida and Kondo are 20 maybe older. Kiuchi is about 30. Yukari is 18-ish.
I also know that most of you are frustrated that I left so many cliffhangers, or you want me to spend more time on them. But it had to be this way, sorry! Just so you know I'm going to be focusing on AU!Gokudera and AU!Yamamoto now, and their relationship and past. Yes I do plan on getting them together in the end, but a bunch of shit has to happen first. And if you're really hoping to know more about AU!Gokudera and that baseball then you're in luck, I'm planning on writing about that next! Thanks for reading and any to all comments are welcomed. I'm going to have to work on a school essay so it maybe a while until we meet again. So until then I bid you farewell, bye-bye!~ =D
