Yuno wakes up and jumps into the shower when she's done she finds Setsuno making breakfast, "Morning." She sits on the counter giving him a bright smile.
"Morning." Setsuno passes the plate, "Did you know that everyone left without us?"
"Where did they go?" Yuno asks looking around the house surprised it's just the two of them excluding the still sleeping Tachibana.
Kai kicks the ball and Tori chases after it while Snow lies down next to Sensen listening to the rhythm of the heartbeat coming from her stomach.
Ackerman is M.I.A.
Tachibana wakes up and finds Yuno and Setsuno playing chess.
Ackerman walks out of his room yawning.
"You went back to sleep?" Sensen throws a pillow at him and he scratches the back of his neck.
"Hi, honey, I'm home?"
Tachibana snorts Ackerman is in deep shit from the look in her eyes.
Yuno blushes when Tachibana kisses her good morning, "Actually it's afternoon you slept all morning."
"What was he doing all night?" Yuno kicks Setsuno under the chair and he kicks back playing it off before making a move, "Checkmate."
Yuno groans not noticing Tachibana's staring. His chest clenched at the sight of her disappointed expression, Yuno hates losing.
She stands up exploring the place stopping to watch Kai and Tori by the pool having swimming lessons, she jumps in and swims towards them.
In the water she is in her element she feels more comfortable and relaxed, "Boo!"
Tori screams and stops screaming half way when Kai screams louder than him looking at him his mouth still open.
Yuno laughs making endless jokes infuriating her little brother.
Kai dunks her while Tori works on his breast stroke since he was abandoned for the underwater sibling rivalry going on.
Snow jumps in the water and pulls Tori out of the pool since Kai and Yuno were going overboard and completely forgot about Tori.
The water temperature rises and the two of them turn and face an angry Tachibana, Tori was practically drowning, "See what you did? Now he's mad." Yuno shoves Kai and he shoves her back.
"Kiss him or something he might not boil us in here." Kai purposely uses the water to throw Yuno at Tachibana.
He catches Yuno and she gives him a nervous smile, "Hi Ken." He tosses her back into the pool and picks Tori up giving him proper swimming lessons, "Uhm, Ken." He turns around and Snow is freezing the water running up and down.
He melts the ice and takes Snow back to the house Tori following behind them, "You hungry?" Tori nods and points to the fridge.
Tachibana opens the door and Tori points at the Yoghurt, "Fine, here." He gives him the entire tub and a big spoon.
Yuno walks in to find Tori with a face full of Yoghurt he was feeding himself and it doesn't look like he could figure out where his mouth is, "Ken!"
Tachibana pretends to be sleeping and Yuno jumps on the bed poking his cheek repeatedly in a fit of rage, "You, are giving Tori a bath when you're done pretending to be sleeping."
Tachibana opens his eyes turning to peck her on the lips. "Have fun out there." Yuno smiles slowly capturing his lips into hers.
She waits for Setsuno to get ready before they disappear. Kai is back in bed. Ackerman and Sensen are just chilling in their room.
Tori grabs a chair and opens the fridge Tachibana watches him put it back and drag the chair to the sink
He breaks the faucet and Tachibana sighs he expected Kai and Setsuno to break something not Tori, "Hey, it's bath time."
Tori follows Tachibana to the bathroom already taking off his shirt. Snow jumps into the tub with Tori and relaxes while Tori pours shampoo on him and massages him, "You spoil him too much you know." Tachibana says to Tori and the baby raises a brow.
"You're one to talk."
Tachibana looks shocked Tori becomes more and more like Yuno everyday.
The door opens and a random teenager stares at Tachibana with a man in a suit behind him, "I want it, take it." The boy points at Snow and looks surprised when Tori and Tachibana don't do anything about him taking Snow.
Yuno laughs at Setsuno wearing a bikini, "Laugh all you want, but I'm sexy and I know it." He closes the curtain and tries out more outfits.
"Ohh those shorts look cool, think they have them in my size?" Yuno finds her size and adds them to her pile of picked out outfits. They stand in cue and pay for the clothes before going back and finding everyone else just hanging in the living room watching a movie.
"You guys went shopping without me?"
Setsuno excuses himself from this conversation because he told Yuno to wake him up and she insisted on letting him sleep and doing shopping on his behalf.
"Relax, this bag is all yours besides you said you prefer to go shopping with Ken because he doesn't hover over you and pressure you into buying things you don't like." She leaves the bag in his room before going to hers.
Ken and Tori walk into the room joining her on the bed, "So, you should know that someone dognapped Snow."
Yuno sits up and hugs Tori who smiles and rests his head on her shoulder, "What happened? Are you guys okay? He's a smart dog he'll come back."
"Unfortunately," Tachibana looks sad and huffs when Yuno looks at Tori calm and relaxed in her arms.
"You didn't even try to save him did you?"
"I fought tooth and nail to save him, right Hitori?" Tori nods and Yuno lies down.
They talk for hours while lying on bed, "Ken, Bobo is starting to wonder around looking for Snow."
Tachibana groans, "Hitori, come here for a sec." Tori climbs on the bed and returns to his spot between Yuno and Tachibana, "How do you feel? About Snow."
"He's scared now."
Yuno gives him a hug and Ken gets out of bed, "I'll round up the troops in the mean time keep him calm." They kiss before Tachibana walks to the living room finding Setsuno and Kai gaming, "Where's Ackerman? We have a situation on our hands."
"What's going on?"
"We're going on Paw Patrol to find Snow."
Ackerman closes the fridge and sneezes, "I knew you were lowkey paying attention to the stupid show."
"I want to know what he's watching and If it's worth letting him watch, now can we focus on you guys getting up and helping me."
The room is quiet and Ackerman goes back to the fridge to add more strawberries to his fruit cocktail, "No can do, I'm on future mommy duty."
"It's my turn to hold down the fort so you and Junior here can have fun on Paw Patrol."
Kai shoves Setsuno for throwing him under the bus and gets up to wear shoes and grab a flash light and rain coat they were cooped up in doors due to unexpected heavy rainfall.
"I'm good to go, are you going out in just a tank top?" Kai narrows his eyes at the male and rolls his eyes when he nods. Kai surprises Yuno walking into the bedroom grabbing a jacket for Tachibana. He stares at Yuno trying to help Tori calm down.
"Hey, mind if I try something?" Yuno looks up and hands Tori over to Kai.
Tachibana expected Kai to go in grab a coat and get out Kai spending more than 10 seconds in there is unnecessary.
"Alright, Hitori." Kai only ever uses his full name when he's serious and that makes Tori panic, "Calm down, I just want to know if you have a way to tell Snow where you are or that we're looking for him."
"What's taking so long?" Tachibana walks in and there's a huge ice slab next to the bed, "Not in the house Hitori. You two with me. Yuno you're in charge of holding down the fort."
Kai picks up Tori who is shivering despite being hot, "Hey, I don't think he's doing so well."
Tachibana grabs Setsuno on the way out and stops in his tracks when Yuno follows them, "You all go ahead and start looking." He picks Yuno up and carries her to the bedroom.
"Hey, Ken you can't seriously be cutting me out of this."
"Yuno, you're staying here or I'm …"
"Fine, you stay I'll go." She pushes past him and he takes her hand pulling her back.
"I lowkey hope we don't find the dog, so whether or not we find it is up to you, will you stay or will we play this fun loving back and forth all night?"
"Ken you can't be serious, I'll look by the beach while you guys cover more ground elsewhere."
"I said no, now stay in this damn house and lock the door if I find you out there I'll find you dead, or as a hostage and that's the last thing I need to worry about. I'll explain later."
Tori makes another Ice slab that is bigger than the other one.
"What the hell is this ice going to accomplish? I say we drown the little bastard and the dog will come running." Kai head butts Setsuno who grabs his forehead and groans, "What? I might be the one saying it, but we're all thinking it."
"Yeah, and that's the last thing I want to go back and tell Yuno happened, she'd never forgive any of us for that, so our best bet is this ice maybe it has a distinct smell that only Snow can pick up."
"Yeah, I doubt that. Snow is a wolf they howl to signal each other's location not sniff out ice." Setsuno stands in front of Tori and flicks his forehead.
"I want you to call Snow just close your eyes and signal Snow your location you're his alpha so it should come naturally to you how to signal each other just close your eyes and think about Snow and signal him."
"Don't yell at him Yuno will ring our necks."
Tori looks around and is drawn to the mountains so he points to the mountains.
"Tachibana mentioned a pretty big house up there with a family of crazy people maybe they took him."
Setsuno wants to believe Kai and wants to trust Tori's intuition but he's hard wired to do things differently, "Tori, close your eyes and stay calm."
Tori closes his eyes and opens them instantly. Setsuno sighs, Tori is still a baby even if he's a baby with a smart mouth they still need to approach this from a different angle.
Setsuno stares at Tori for a while before a light bulb lights up on the top of his head. Kai sighs when Setsuno finally looks like he has a bright idea, "Hitori scream, at the top of your lungs scream like there's no tomorrow and scream to let Snow know where you are.
"If he can sniff out the ice he sure as hell will hear him too. We just need him to howl back."

"Sir, the pup is awfully restless, are you sure it is compatible with you?"
"Is that what the research said? That it has to be compatible with me?"
"Yes sir, Kim said that age and compatibility are big factors. It is a snow wolf living in a hot country it needs cold for survival so it attached itself to a host with an ice ability.
"It's barely a year old and the small boy just passed the one year old curb so age wise they are in sync meaning that this wolf might live longer and age slower unless it will turn into a giant wolf one day."
"Daniel all I'm hearing is why I can't have the dog start telling me how to make it mine."
"That's the thing sir. You can't, you are not compatible with the wolf you'll need to find one you're compatible with."
"There are more animals like this one?"
"According to the research yes, the wolf didn't have an ability only an egg it is a creature that naturally seeks out a pack and someone met it's requirements and out of the need for survival it attached itself to a host.
"I know you want it, but do be warned that Ken Tachibana is nothing like his sister he will burn down this entire estate with everyone in it if separating the dog from the child is an inconvenience."
A howl fills the room and everyone in the house wakes up. The phone rings and the man in black answers.
"Daniel I have a distressed girlfriend that is probably mad at me as we speak, a baby suffering from separation anxiety, and two ticking time bombs that know where you are
"So I'll only ask you once very nicely to give the damn dog back unharmed because whatever you do to the dog affects my son and I'm right outside, should I let myself in or, will you?"
The man turns to face the young boy he serves pacing up and down the room, "He will kill us. I didn't know it was his son or that he'd ever have another child after Xavier, if sister finds out."
"If I find out what?"
