"Everyone stop!" a commanding voice ordered. By the front gate a shadowy figure stood walking towards everyone. The person held a powerful air about them, and without question everyone stopped. All eyes were on the new comer.
"Aria?" Reborn spoke unsure of what was going on. Everyone, save the Watatsumi, gasped or starred at the Boss of the Giglio Nero Famiglia.
Giving a soft smile she spoke, "Hello everyone."
"Ahem, what are we? Nothing?" Ichinose scoffed not liking the dramatic atmosphere. His rude comment was notice by everyone, especially Suguru. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!"
"Nothing," the samurai calmly stated blinking as he whipped off the blood of his sheathed sword.
"I saved your ass yesterday and this is how you're treating me? I swear I'ma going to kill you!" the blond cursed as he was held back by Kiuchi.
"I didn't ask for your help," the swordsman bluntly said stilling out his tongue, angering the dagger user even more.
"Forgive the idiot over there, I'm afraid that he was raised by wolves," Iida said.
"I was not!"
"Eh-heh. . ." canon Tsuna said with a sweat drop, man these people were strange. "Aren't you going to attack us, or something?"
"No, we came here in peace," the tattooed man said smiling. "We were going to drop our weapons and bow and be all dramatic, but with Aria-san's entrance I guess it won't have that kind of effect anymore."
"R-Really now," AU!Tsuna said unsure whether to believe their words or not. It seemed pretty farfetched, but there was a sense of sincerity about them. He felt like they could trust these fours, despite what they've done.
"Come on, let's go inside and clear things up," the Sky Arcobaleno said motioning everyone inside the school.
"Yes, there are a lot that needs to be explained," Reborn said looking at the four Watatsumi members then at the second Sky Arcobaleno.
xXxXx
"Who the hell let them in?" the temperamental Gokudera questioned pointing at the Watatsumi Gaurdians. (He had no idea of what happened because of his and Takeshi's. . . first time.)
"Oi, it's rude to point brat," Ichinose spat glaring at the silverette. The tension between the two was really bad, like a guy meeting his in-laws bad.
"Maa maa, let's be friendly. I'm sure there's a reason for everything," Takeshi said trying to lighten the mood. The two scoffed and turned away, they were just too alike to get along.
"Aria-san is going to explain everything, and she said that we can trust them," Tsuna said getting his Storm Guardian to back down. Everyone then entered a classroom, it was a tight fit, but everyone found a seat. Aria and the Watatsumi Guardians were standing in front, everyone waited for them to talk.
"Well, I guess I should start, though I don't really have much to say," Aria sighed leaning on the desk. "When I got here I was separated from everyone, and Kiuchi actually found me, and told me about the situation."
"He did? But how come. . ." Haru gasp standing up in her seat.
". . . he didn't take your pacifier Aria-san?" the other Haru finished.
"That is a good question," Ichinose said turning to the Sun Mare Guardian. "How come you kept her a secret? You knew about our goal."
The buff man shrugged, "She asked me not to tell, and she gave me food." Everyone looked at Kiuchi strangely, amazed that he was so easily persuaded by the four letter f-word, food, the other three Watatsumi Guardians especially.
"Well that aside, the reason why I brought these guys with me is because they want to stop Yukari now," Aria said getting everyone's attention focused again. "They have agreed that they'll help you guys."
"R-really?" both Tsunas gasp.
"Why?" Reborn questioned glaring at the four males.
They looked at one another, having a conversation without words before Iida sighed and stepped forward. "Because Yukari-chan has lost her heart, and if she manages to escape here, she would be a danger to everyone."
"Believe it or not, we don't want unnecessary bloodshed," Suguru spoke calmly, "enough lives have already been lost."
"Eh? Where's that girl with the pintails?" Ryohei asked realizing that the Lighting Mare Guardian was missing. A look of pain and sadness came across the four Watatsumi's faces, no one dare spoke, and they waited for one of them to answer the question.
"Junko is dead," Ichinose was the one who broke the silence. "Yukari killed her."
"What?" half of the Vongola gasped, surprised that Yukari killed her own subordinate.
"We may not look or act like it, but we do care about each other, we promised each other that we would escape here together as well. However, with Kondo's death, it sent Yukari-chan over the edge and for reasons unknown to us, she killed Junko-chan." Iida said, "Because of that, we want to help you guys in any way we can."
"Is there anything you want to ask us?" Kiuchi asked.
"I trust Aria, and her judgment, but can we really trust you four?" Reborn asked not keeping an eye off of them.
"You should, but we won't force you to," Iida sighed. "We came here because we don't have a chance against Yukari, and neither do you guys alone, but if we work together, we might be able to."
"What, you're not confident enough about your abilities?" canon Gokudera scoffed.
"Yes," the tattooed man answered solemnly. "Have any of you ever wonder where the rest of our family members are? Or where Junko got her army of the undead? Why only seven people are here when the entire Watatsumi Famgilia from all timelines was locked away?"
"What are you getting at?" AU!Yamamoto questioned wanting to get to the point.
"Yukari killed all of them except us," Kiuchi answered. "Her psychic powers are in a class all her own, and could have already completed the 7^3 if she didn't have her own morals."
"But now she's heartless and will kill in cold blood?" All of the Watatsumi members nodded their head.
"Well it looks like we have some new allies Dame-Tsunas," Reborn said smirking. "Listen up, today you can train, rest up, whatever, tomorrow at dawn, we'll face Yukari."
"Hai!" everyone said.
"Then why are you still here?" On that note, everyone headed out of the class room to ready themselves for their final battle against Yukari.

Chrome from the canon world was hiding behind a corner of the school building ease dropping on a conversation between the Hibari and Dino from her world. He didn't like spying like this, but she wanted to see what was going on between them. Her blush that she inherited since birth was glowing, as she watched the two males during their "private" conversation. Even though it wasn't much of a conversation with Hibari getting his butt pinched and Dino trying to kiss the Cloud Guardian while avoiding hits in the face.
I-I shouldn't be seeing this. . . the Mist Guardian thought getting to see live yaoi for the first time. Is this the "yaoi" that mother used to talk about?
"Ease dropping are we? Kufufu. . . never expected that from you, my cute little Chrome-chan."
"M-Mukuro-sama!" the small one-eyed girl mewed.
"Yes?" canon Mukuro said.
"Ah. . . um. . . What's up. . ?" she lamely said as her blush became even more prominent, if that was possible.
"Kufufu. . . You shouldn't be keeping secretes from me, Chrome-chan."
"Go-gomen."
"It's alright," the taller teen then cupped the smaller's face. "I just want to know more about my Chrome-chan."
"Y-You don't need to say such things Mukuro-sama."
"Kufufu. . . Oh, but I feel like I need to, because I feel like you fear me."
"What? I-I don't fear you!" Chrome said shocked that he would say something like that.
"Then prove it to me." The pineapple hair shaped teen said in a low tone causing the smaller Mist Guardian to feel nervous.
"H-How so?"
"However, you wish."
Biting her lower lip, Chrome figured out a way to prove that she didn't fear her Mukuro. Closing her eyes she leaned forward and up towards Mukuro's face. Her face was blazing hot, as she performed the one act she never thought she would ever be able to do in this life. As soon as her soft pink lips touched the lips of the other Mist Guardian, she quickly moved back. However, she couldn't moved, because she was being held in place by the heterochromia eyed male.
"Kufufu. . . are you two enjoying eating each other's faces?" AU!Mukuro teased causing the Chrome who was just being kissed to push away from her Mukuro.
"That's mean Mukuro-kun," AU!Chrome said looping her arm in her Mukuro's.
"Kufufu. . . What did I do?"
"Nothing, my other self. I'm sure you meant well, kufufu. . . Just like I am when I help you with your mannerism," canon Mukuro said smiling like a devil.
"Oh? Don't you need help since you just got out of the Vindecare?" the male Mist Guardian that just got out of prison's eye twitched before the two entered a starring contest.
AU!Chrome sighed and smiled looking over at her alternate. Both smiled and shook their knowing that they were going be there a while.

The two Vongola Rain Guardians were sitting out on the bleachers of the baseball field just talking. Since canon Yamamoto was able to sort things out with his Gokudera he was back to his old happy go lucky self. And while the other Yamamoto found his personality slightly annoying, he was happy that things were back to normal and everything was fine. There was only one problem.
"How are you going to fight now?" Since the other Shigue Kintoki was still at the Watatsumi Base, there was only one sword for the both of them to share.
"Well I could ask for the Tsunas to get me my old baseball bat," the other one suggested thinking about his first sword that would look like a bat at times.
"But it won't work as well with the box weapons."
"True. . . Man we're stuck then aren't we?" canon Takeshi sighed leaning back on the seats looking up at his alternate who was sitting higher up.
"False," a voice simply answered.
Sitting upright, Yamamoto saw Suguru walk towards the duo. Smiling, he greeted, "Yo Suguru-san!"
"Tch. . ." AU!Yamamoto scoffed.
"So, what was with the whole 'false' thing?"
"I was answering your question. You don't need to worry about your sword problem." The samurai clarified.
"What, you're going to let him borrow one of your swords?" the badass Takeshi rudely asked, getting his shin hit by his alternate. "What?"
"Don't be rude to him. He's not the bad guy!" the other said standing up for their ex-enemy.
Suguru gave out a quick and small smirk finding the scene before him amusing before he spoke again. "If I gave you one of my swords, they would refuse to cut for you, surely you understand this. However, I'm sure it won't be a problem if I gave you this blade instead." With that, he held out a sword that was wrapped in string a cloth. Takeshi took the bundle, and unwrapped it to reveled a shinai that was Shingue Kintoki.
"How did you. . ."
"I figured that you would need it to fight, however I wasn't able to get your ring back. Yukari has those protected, but you can use my ring until then," the longed haired man said taking off his Rain Mare Ring.
"Are you sure? Don't you need that?" the raven haired teen asked hesitantly reaching out for the blue winged item.
"I can still fight without it."
"Thanks," the baseball star said taking the ring. As he put the ring on his finger, a loud crash was heard as an explosion of sorts went off. Loud yelling could be heard from around the corner.
"What did that idiot do this time?" the Watatsumi Rain Guardian asked himself rubbing his temples.
"Let's go check it out!" canon Yamamoto said jumping off his seat to where the noise was coming from.
"Why do I have a feeling that your boyfriend is behind that?" AU!Takeshi mused getting up.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Suguru hissed as an awkward silence came over the three Rain Guardians. "You weren't talking to me, were you?" the samurai asked feeling like a fool already.
"No I wasn't, but now. . . Fuck it, doesn't matter let's forget about it," the swordsman sighed walking towards the explosion sight.
"Ne, you like that blond guy. . . ehh Ichinose-san, right?" the new Rain Mare Holder asked with big innocent amber eyes.
"No comment," was the samurai's simple response before he went red as the teenager laughed his annoying-happy-go-lucky laugh.
xXxXx
"Look what you did blondy!" Gokudera spat coughing trying to wave the smoke away.
"Me? This was your fault you old man!" Ichinose scoffed back.
"Look who's talking, psycho!"
"Oh you're just jealous I can do this!" random objects was sent flying in random directions.
"Shit! Watch were you throw things!"
"Get me outta here!" AU!Gokudera yelled while he was in the fetal position. His cries were unanswered because the other two Storm Guardians were too engrossed in their "friendly debate."
"What's going on here Ichi-tan?" Iida asked.
"What do you want?" Ichinose hissed dropping his flying objects.
"Is it over?" AU!Hayato asked opening his eyes to see if it was safe for him to sand up. Sighing in relief he stood up and dragged himself out of the danger zone, to somewhere where he might not lose his life.
"I was just walking around and then I heard a bang! So I decided to check it out."
"Well you came, you saw, and now you're leaving."
"Aww, don't be like that Ichi-tan!~"
"What kind of nickname is that?" the temperamental Vongola Storm Guardian asked through his laughs.
"The one that this idiot who's about to die came up with," and with that the blond proceeded to attack his auburn haired ally. The tattoo man simply laughed it off, and dodged with ease against the dagger user's attacks
"Why are you trying to kill Iida?" Suguru asked to Ichinose in an annoyed tone.
"Who ruined my Namimori?" a dark, and angry, and evil canon Hibari asked with his tonfas ready.
"He did!" pretty much everyone said in union, however they all were pointing at a different person. This only caused the skylark to become even more pissed off at everyone. Why the hell did he work along with these herbivores?
"Uh-oh. . . Looks like Hibari isn't amused," Dino laughed awkwardly, scooting little by little so he wouldn't be in the cross fire of his boyfriend. "I got to go! Have fun!"
"What the hell happened here!" AU!Hibari shrieked, "L-Look what you guys did! Namimori is-is. . ."
"Destroyed, ruined, a mess, damaged. . . Take your pick," Iida said finding words to finish the sentence.
"You're not helping!" everyone save Iida and the skylards chanted. As this was happening, a purple aura and a murderous vibe came from the two perfects.
Moving their tonfas in a attack stance, both recited their infamous catchphrase that would scare the gods, "I'll bite you to death." And that, lead to the two man army attacking pretty much everyone there, regardless if they were innocent, or if they were their boyfriend, and even if they weren't in the nearby area at the time. . .
"Hahii! What did Haru do?"
"Kufufu, so you think you can take me on?"
"If it's a fight you want then I'll give it to you. Let's fight to the EXTREME!"
"What do you think you're doing, kora!"
"Che, kids theses days. I have better things to do, like counting money."
"Watch it, before I send your ass flying fag."
"H-Hey, it's me! You don't need to hurt your boyfriend!"
"I swear if I wasn't working with you, I'd kill you!"
"Surugu why don't you freeze their time?"
"I would, but I can't really focus at the moment!"
"Damnit! Stupid fucker!"
"I'm trying to cook, so please don't come in here!"
This crazy chaos continued for. . . quite a while. Not sure how long to be honest, but from the looks of it, it wouldn't stop any time soon. Especially since the others started to fight with themselves as well. And all the while, a poor helpless AU!Gokudrea was back in the fetal position waiting for all of this to end or to die. He preferred the former, but if the latter had to happen then so be it.
"Why does this stuff happen to meeeeee?"
xXxXx
"So, can you explain exactly how people from two dimensions came to his void instead of just one?" Verde asked Kiuchi with pen and paper in hand. "Wouldn't it be easier for you goal to have just summon us from one dimensions?"
"Yes, it would have, but Yukari wanted to correct a mistake that she made," the adult said.
"Mistake?" Reborn questioned wanting to hear the back story that lead to their situation.
"Yes, when people move back and forth through time, they enter this space for a brief moment. We often see a that cow kid, Lambo. When the one you call Gokudera was traveling outside of his time, Yukari found the Mare Rings at that time as well, and a power surge was released. That caused his travel of have a glitch of sorts sending him to another dimension parallel to his, and because having two of the same person would cause a disruption in time and space so that world sent that world's Gokudera to the original Gokudera's world to balance out and avoid destruction."
"What?" canon Tsuna gasped not understanding anything that was just said.
"You don't need to understand Dame-Tsuna," Reborn said, interrupting Kiuchi who was about to explain himself again. Turning back to the chi user the baby hitman said, "So Yukari summoned the Vongola and Arcobalenos from both dimensions so you guys could escape, as well as putting the Gokudera's in their right worlds."
"Yes, that was our goal," Kiuchi answered honestly.
"Then why were we attacked when we got here? If you just explained things from the start, then everything would be alright and we wouldn't have this mess!" AU!Tsuna spoke ticked off.
"Suguru and Ichinose were sent to explain, however they got an idea to just simply get your rings and get out."
"Then why did you bring the girls here? They didn't need to be apart of this!"
"Another unexpected malfunction."
"And why was Iida there with them?"
"To protect them."
"Stop it with your excuses!" AU!Tsuna barked pissed off. He knew there wasn't anything he could do to change things, but he couldn't help but be angry at the adult. "Dang it. . ."
"Tsuna, go get some air, and let us continue with this conversation," Reborn ordered. Fuming, the brunette headed outside.
"I'll go with him," the other Vongola Decimo said following his alternate. The Sun Arecobaleno nodded before turning once again to the Watatsumi Guardian. Their voices faded in the distance, as the two Decimos walked the empty hallways of the school. "Hey, are you alright?"
"Yeah. . ." AU!Tsuna sighed combing his wild hair with his fingers. "I just can't believe all of this."
"I'm still waiting for the day when I wake up and find out I'm not the boss of the Vongola," Tsuna joked trying to make the mood lighter. Realizing he didn't help, he soften his face, and decided to go at things more sincere. "Hey, we can only do what we can from here on. Things will work out, I'm sure of it."
"Heh. . ." the other Decimo sighed shaking his head, "I'm sorry, I must sound like such a prick right now."
"It's fine, this hasn't been easy for any of us," putting a hand on his alternation's shoulder, Tsuna added. "But things will are going to go back to normal, soon you'll be missing us."
"True, but first let's get out of here."
"Yeah," with that the two Tsunas opened the doors to outside only to see complete chaos. "But before the 'first' we need to survive ourselves."
"Heheheh. . . To true, sadly true. . ."
xXxXx
It was night time, and the alternates of Yamamoto and Gokudera were outside holding hands walking, acting like a normal gay mafia couple. That's not really normal, but what can you do? Most of everyone was sleeping or doing something indoors, so it was just the two of them without any wild interruptions.
"So tomorrow's the big day, we're going against Yukari finally," Gokudera sighed leaning against his lover's arm.
"Yeah, then we can get out of here, and go back to our lives," Takeshi added tightening his grip on the silverette's hand. "But this time, we're going to be together."
"What about your mom?" the Storm Guardian asked looking up. His emerald eyes reviling his worry. "What if she tries to keep us apart, we've just got together and… I don't want to be pulled apart from you."
"I won't let that happen. I promise I'll stay by your side no matter what," the raven haired teen comforted kissing the top of Hayato's head.
"But what if something happens tomorrow, something that kills you or me?'
"We're not going to die, we're not going to be separated. Not now, not ever!" Takeshi said grabbing his boyfriend by the sides and lowing himself so they could see eye to eye. "I swear!"
"You say that, but how can you know for sure?"
"I don't, there are some things we can't control. But that doesn't mean we should make it easy for others to have their way, I mean I tried to push you away but you still had your feelings for me, and now look at us!"
"Takeshi-kun. . ." Hayato trailed off, a smile started pulling at his lips. One of the swordsman old cheesy smile showed up on his face, he was able to get Hayato's mood lighter. That was a job well done in his book.
"Come on, let's go back inside," Takeshi said mostioning the silverette to head inside.
"Wait," Hayato said stopping the Rain Gaurdian. "I-I know that we'll live and get back home, but. . . Just incase we don't, I-I want to do it with you, Ta-Takeshi-kun."
"Ha. . ." Takeshi gave out a short laugh, cupping the smaller teen's face. "You're really too cute, you're going to spoil me." They kissed slow and deeply, and when it ended the taller teen added, "Let's wait for the first night we're out of this place. Then I'll take you."
"B-but!"
"Just shut up Hayato, and let me kiss you," Takeshi ordered. Obeying his boyfriend, Hayato closed his eyes as he kissed Takeshi once, twice, thrice, and many more times until all his worries were long forgotten. All that matter was him, Takeshi, and this feeling of pure bliss.
Aly: This was hard as hell to write. Hated it, absolutely hated having to write all this explanation shit! Doesn't help that some of my friends and family has been going through a bunch of shit as well. Drama sucks, I prefer my stories where I can control what goes on. Speaking of which, I hope you guys can understand everything, and stuff. Even though I honestly didn't plan out the pre-story what so ever, man am I so freaken lucky. Ah I hope that you found this chapter humorous, and that last bit fluffy. Even though there wasn't any smut because AU!Yamamoto had to take the high road. Well the next chapter is the final battle against Yukari, or at least that's how I plan it. Man, this series is coming to a close soon. About four more chapter if things go as plan. Gah, I'll hate it when this ends, but I'm sure you all want to see the happily ever after for these guys. Well I think I rambled enough, so until next time, Bye-bye! :D
