"Kyoko-chan is missing!" said Haru panicking.

"I know, she left through the fourth door early this morning. I think she went to get some things from home," said Shirou.

"And you let her?!" said Gokudera pissed.

Shirou gave him a flat look.

"Unlike me, she had no idea she was going to be pulled away so abruptly. And frankly I wasn't going to ask why she needed...supplies. There are some things a boy is better off not asking about."

Sometimes he really hated his overpowered sense of smell. He really, really did.

"I don't get it," said Gokudera.

Haru however figured it out what he was talking about pretty quick. Her face was red all over.

"How the hell did you..."

"My sense of smell is a bit weird. Like I said, I wasn't going to ask, much less talk about it openly. I do have some sense of privacy," deadpanned Shirou.

"Yeah, I can see why she had to leave for supplies. I didn't see anything for that in the bathroom either," said Haru blushing horribly.

Reborn hid his face, as he cottoned on to what Shirou was not saying.

"I still don't get why she left so abruptly."

"Who left?" asked Takeshi.

"Lal, would you like to have the honors of explaining that time of the month to Gokudera since he apparently doesn't understand why Kyoko was in a rush to leave this morning?" asked Shirou bluntly.

She blinked, before looking at the suddenly flushing Storm.

"Seriously? How do you even know that's why she left?"

"She was dragged away from her time without any warning, so she was obviously not prepared for it. I had a feeling that's why she left the base, to get certain... supplies. Still, considering the increasing number of thugs in the area it would probably be best if a few of us went to retrieve her," said Shirou.

"I'll go!" said Gokudera, his face still red as a tomato.

"We have an incoming transmission! It's Hibird!"

Shirou was so going to tease Kyouya horribly for that name. It was adorable and downright hilarious.

"Where is it?" asked Shirou.

"It's the Shrine! The transmission went down over there!"

"What do we do?" said Gokudera.

Shirou mentally went over his options.

"Gokudera and I can go to the shrine to find Hibari, Takeshi and Lal can retrieve Kyoko."

"Explain your reasoning," said Reborn, wondering at the odd match up.

"Well if I remember right, Gokudera isn't that enthusiastic about being around Takeshi and might get into an argument at the worst time, especially if someone else picked up that transmission. And I don't need to be close to do damage. Besides, while Takeshi is a good fighter, we might need his Rain flames to calm Kyoko down and extract her. And Lal is used to rookies, so she won't have as much trouble working with him, even if he does make mistakes," said Shirou flatly.

"I can handle this myself!" said Gokudera, not liking the idea of being around Takeshi.

"Case in point," said Shirou dryly.

"Very well. Shirou and Gokudera will find Hibari-san while Lal and Takeshi get Kyoko and return," said Reborn. "However I doubt your arrows will be of much use in those woods."

"Which is why I'm bringing something with a bit more kick to it," said Shirou. "If all else fails I'll just use my swords."

Reborn seemed pleased, if a bit confused about the swords.

"Is that acceptable to you, Lal?"

"It's fine," she replied. She could work with the baseball brat for a short period if it meant getting this over with.

Rather than go outside to reach the shrine, Shirou immediately lead Gokudera to another part of the base.

"What are you doing?"

"I know Hibari," said Shirou bluntly. "Here it is."

"A secret door?!" said Gokudera in shock.

"Hibari would have had Tsuna install a door where he could cut off the other Guardians and not feel crowded. And with how fond he is of the shrine, it's obvious he would have his entrance lead out through there. Besides, I can smell the scent of clouds and mist from here," said Shirou.

"Your nose is seriously terrifying," said Gokudera.

Shirou suddenly thought of something that might win the Storm Guardian over.

"I also forgot to mention something you might find interesting."

Gokudera looked at him.

"I'm Bianchi repellent."

He stopped cold.

"What."

"Your sister learned the hard way to stay the hell out of the kitchen when I'm around, to the point she avoids me since I really dislike her method of killing," deadpanned Shirou. "And she reeks of poisons, so I always know where she is to the point I throw things in her direction if she's near me. Where I come from, she makes a point to steer clear of me and never uses her poison cooking whenever I'm around."

His face was hidden, but Shirou was fully prepared for the tackle.

"Teach me how to do that!" he said crying.

And once again he secured Gokudera's loyalty. The trauma of Bianchi and the ability to keep her away was a powerful thing.

"Want me to teach you how to cook real food and not microwaved? That way you won't have to worry about eating her cooking ever again."

"Please!" begged Gokudera.

"And we're here," said Shirou. He suddenly stopped Gokudera from going outside. "There's someone out there. Active Flames, really strong. Lightning, I think."

Gokudera blinked.

"You sure?"

"Reborn and my father have both said I'm a damn bloodhound. Trust me, there's someone there."

The Storm looked dubious.

"Prove it."

"You smell of gunpowder, cigarettes, explosives, lingering poisons, and the smell of an oncoming storm."

"Lingering poisons?" repeated Gokudera, not liking the sound of that.

"Sometimes it takes a while for a poison to leave the body, and if I remember correctly you once told me she forced you to eat her weapons repeatedly, and under orders. It's part of the reason she avoids me, because I don't like the fact they let that happen to you."

Shirou saw something that had him frown.

"There. See them?"

Gokudera nodded.

"What do we do?"

Shirou grinned, and Gokudera found it rather infectious.

"Why ruin their day of course~!"

"You sound way too much like Reborn."

"Considering what I'm about to do, that's probably a good thing. Get ready to throw some smoke bombs. I'll take to the sky and really give them something to worry about."

"What are you planning?"

"Just watch."

Gokudera stared at the massive freaking rifle Shirou casually put together with an evil grin on his face. And then proceeded to snipe at the weaker morons with to draw out the bigger fish of a Lightning.

He took the signal with ease, and watched as Shirou took off into the air to hide where he was shooting from, looking far too much like Colonello in the process.

Actually, he looked terrifyingly like Colonello, complete with camo bandanna (where the fuck had he gotten that?!) and the pin on the side with "27" written on it, complete with rifle as he had an evil grin on his face.

(When Lal saw the cameras outside the shrine she actually choked, because Shirou looked way too much like Colonello for her to take.)

And then Shirou proved he was a Vongola through and through, regardless of how domestic he acted. And yes, Gokudera wasn't the only one who did a double take seeing him act like a damn house husband while caring for the younger kids. Reborn looked just plain confused.

Gokudera would openly admit to grinning like a mad man, since Shirou made sure not to aim anywhere near him. He held the ground while the other ruled the sky. Even if the recoil of the massive rifle tended to make him fly backwards a bit every time he fired.

It took the Lightning guy a second to realize Gokudera was the weaker of the two and focus more on him.

Too bad Hibari was attracted by the racket and showed up before he could do more than throw him around a bit.

Though what Shirou said next made him stare. He wasn't the only one.

"Oi, Kyouya, what took you so damn long? Did you get lazy without a real opponent to play with?" said Shirou grinning.

Hibari glared at him, and Shirou blew a raspberry at him.

It was official. Shirou Emiya had balls of damn steel. Even he was terrified of an irritated Hibari Kyouya.

Kyouya looked at the other Small Animal with irritation. The brat was far too familiar with him and there was something off about him. He could believe that his Tsunayoshi had apparently suffered the bad luck of having the destination mixed up. His luck was that chaotic.

But this Shirou Emiya showed zero fear towards him, and it pissed him off. Besides, he caused a lot of damage to the shrine with those damn shots of his. For that crime alone Hibari would gladly bite him to death.

"Small animal, for disturbing the peace I'm going to bite you to death."

Shirou smirked.

"Well how else was I supposed to get you in the mood. To be honest it's kind of boring around here without your chaos around."

Hibari twitched in annoyance.

He charged at the small animal who pissed him off.

"Trace, on."

Twin swords appeared, and to the collective shock of the Namimori natives Shirou was able to fight back against Hibari. No, he was actually beating the irritated Cloud while grinning at the same time.

Hibari would never admit it out loud, but he was starting to lose his annoyance. It had been some time since he found anyone who could match him, much less keep up and not take it personally.

"Holy shit...is he actually winning against Hibari?!" said Takeshi, not even realizing he swore in front of kids.

"What kind of style is that?" growled Reborn. It left so many obvious holes it was downright suicidal.

Hibari managed to kick Shirou to the wall, but the grin on his face said volumes. The boy was openly having fun 'playing' with the irritated Cloud. Hibari came at him again, but before he came too close to Shirou, there was a massive "poof!" of smoke that looked nothing like the ten year bazooka being used. In fact it had multiple colors, not just pink.

There was a low growl, and Hibari wasn't the only one staring at who appeared.

"Kyouya! OW!" complained Shirou.

"Shirou. You owe me food and a fight. Thanks to you the discipline was thrown out in favor of chaos and the others have been crowding me for over a week," growled Kyouya. He said, not apologizing for hitting the idiot on the head with his tonfa.

"How is this possible?" said Reborn.

Hibari was staring at his younger self with open shock. He couldn't even hide it.

"How did you get here?" he asked, in open disbelief.

"Wao. Some carnivore with red eyes and fangs came looking for Shirou. When he found out several were missing he told me that there had apparently been a mix up of some kind and he was here to correct it."

"Zelretch. Of course he would be drawn to this mess," sighed Shirou. He had never met the Dead Apostle Ancestor and master of the Second True Magic, but Reborn had told him horror stories. "Who else is coming?"

"He said he's sending the Hibari Kyouya from here in my place while I took his. That way Tsunayoshi Sawada would be adequately protected and make it easier to find us a second time so he can switch us back. But he did say he might stick around."

"Just what we need... a damn multiverse traveling vampire troll with a penchant for magical girl series," groaned Shirou. "As if Reborn needed more ideas."

Hibari seemed to get over his shock, because he growled and came after the two. He did not like being ignored. At all.

"Kyouya, why don't you play with your alternate future self. I'll get started on dinner."

Seeing the grin on the teen's face, he knew that was the right call. He was still going to go after Shirou later though.

Reborn was watching the entire thing with shock...and glee. He was a chaos magnet, after all and this was chaos on a level he never thought he'd be able to top anytime soon.

But he'd be damned if he didn't give it a try when this was over with!

(In Shirou's universe, Tsuna shivered with apprehension. The shock of Hibari-san showing up was nothing compared to the feeling of absolute doom he knew was about to head his way when this was over.)

If having Shirou in place of Tsuna was confusing, it was nothing compared to a friendlier Hibari Kyouya.

And by friendly, one would have to mean the fact he wasn't threatening to bite everyone to death purely on principle. His alternate future self seemed to have gotten used to having him there, even if it meant his past self was sent to a different future.

"Okay, I'm going to say it. What the actual fuck? How the hell is Hibari sitting next to us and not trying to beat the crap out of us for crowding him?!" said Gokudera. He couldn't take this anymore.

Kyouya looked openly amused.

"Blame the damn sword. The agreement is I can't bite his friends to death unless I beat him first, and the damn blade cheats like crazy," said Kyouya, pointing without fail at Shirou.

"It's not my fault you took the fact I didn't back down when I went to fix the air conditioning in the reception room as a challenge, and then proceeded to come after me when I was heading back to the house once Taiga had calmed down," snorted Shirou without concern.

"The Tiger went ballistic the second she heard what happened, by the way."

"More like she's angry I won't feed her anytime in the next month at least," said Shirou.

"You owe me a weeks worth, or I will bite you," growled Kyouya.

"Yeah yeah. Same rules as always?"

"What the actual fuck," repeated Gokudera. "Ow! Dammit woman what the hell?"

"No swearing around Lambo, I-Pin and Reborn!" said Haru, holding her weapon in hand.

"To be fair, Reborn isn't actually a toddler but someone cursed to look like one. He's probably heard worse and even said stronger words when annoyed," said Shirou dryly.

"Seriously, I've never seen Hibari-san this calm before," said Takeshi, staring.

"I either beat him or force him into a draw and then I feed him."

"The idiot saturates his cooking with Sky flames and never even realized what he was doing," clarified Kyouya. He also looked slightly irritated, "And it was a pain in the ass to get him to agree to call me first before he charged into something that could get him killed. Damn Sword."

Reborn looked slightly curious as to the odd phrase.

"If he's a Sword then what are you?"

"His Shield," said Kyouya without hesitation. "This idiot has the worst habit of ignoring his own injuries if it means protecting others, to the point he'd gladly jump into fire if it meant saving someone. He needs Shields around him to keep that blade of his from being ruined, even if he's oblivious to the fact that damn near half the female population at the school is infatuated with him. Better him than me."
