Summer Vacation

Summer Vacation came.

'Awright! I made it!' Yamamoto whooped in glee as he wasn't among those sentenced to Summer School. But his grades were five steps away from doom, a rather nice improvement since his grades sucked real bad for favoring Baseball too much. In fact, he's actually smart, had he bothered to crack his books and absorb the knowledge within. His notebooks barely has any notes either!

So yes, he got chided for it by well-meaning friends.

And now, its summer vacation.

'Kazuki~!' Nana chimed as Vacation started the next day after school officially let out. 'Since its vacation and its hot in this town, is Fuyuki colder than this?'

'No, its worse but our house certainly is nice and cool since we planted lots of trees to shade the house to keep the worst of summer out, not to mention the ocean breeze is stronger that's a bit comforting. Its also near a beach across Mion Shipyard and while a nice beach, nobody strangely goes there to have fun which was weird...'

'That means its all to ourselves!' Nana squealed happily. 'I wonder if your friends would like to come?'

'Dunno but I'll go over the idea!' "Assuming Reborn hasn't squeezed Gokudera-kun dry first!"

Gokudera's apartment...

'Nice to see you left him alive.' said Shamal wryly as Gokudera was quite, banged-up.

'How is Kazuki's progress?'

'Transition was easy peasy.' Shamal grinned. 'Irisviel Emiya is dead for good.'

'Huh? What're you talking about?' Gokudera asked, baffled.

Shamal had to explain the other problem he was called in to fix that Kazuki is now her own person with her own likes, dislikes, etc. She even tossed away her old closet to charity in favor of ones she found comfort in. And as a trained soldier(in regards to physique, senses and habits but not any offensive skill just yet, and hasn't even handled any weapon at all), she likes clothes with more freedom without flashing her underwear in fights.

Gokudera had no idea his boss was made to take on someone else's identity to be that someone's replacement. He was horrified.

'Hang on a mo', what about Shirou?! Is he a Kiritsugu Jr. or not?!' he exclaimed frantically.

'Thankfully not.' said Reborn. 'He's nothing like him but he's way too nice but a bad habit he got out of.'

Thankfully he did or he'll train the boy PAINFULLY.

'Trained soldier aside as Kiritsugu personally trained him with guns and things, he's also a self-made incredible chef who's outdone Starred Chefs older than he.' said Reborn. 'He impressed Nono and his Guardians, and Kazuki's father. If you kids succeed, I daresay Vongola will enjoy Shirou's cooking immensely.'

'Heee...'

'Well, that opportunity is nearer than you thought.' Shamal snorted. 'Nana-mama wants to have vacation in Fuyuki City since the place is cooler during the summer not to mention strong ocean breezes that make summer bearable.' he said. 'Kazuki wants you brats out together. She's the one calling Yamamoto and Hibari while I'm calling you guys. Get packing while I go get a rental van!'

Turns out Hibari's looooong gone...

'Huh? Hibari went ahead?!' Yamamoto asked, perplexed as they all met up at the Sawada Residence.

'Yeah. He and niichan are fighting rivals for three years after all...' Yamamoto's jaws dropped. '-the mere thought of a month fighting in the backyard excited him he went straight to Fuyuki after school on his bike!' Kazuki explained, utterly amused. 'Niichan mailed me last night that Hibari dropped in on dinner on time!'

'You gotta be kidding.' Gokudera sweatdropped.

'Fighting...rivals?' Nana twitched with a strained smile.

'Well...a soldier's son and the son of the local Precinct's Superintendent hit it off through a manly mano-a-mano...its the only way they know how to play, they're hopeless. It doesn't help that Aria-san, his houseguest is a genius swordswoman...sooo yeah, they'll play all summer...'

Fuyuki...

'Uwaa! What a big house!' Nana gasped out as they got off the van.

By the walls alone, they could see that the lot the house was on, was big.

'It was a decrepit old place that used to be a dojo that went out of business till it was abandoned until Kiri-tousan bought and renovated it. Its now a big house with waaaay too many rooms.' Kazuki snorted. 'Cleaning the whole place once a month was a royal pain we're glad Fuji-nee sends us some help...and we're only occupying three rooms back then too!' she said as while they were outside, they heard grunts and battle cries. 'Oh my oh my...' she rang the doorbell.

/Yes?/ Its Saber who answered.

'Aria-nee, its me, my mom and some friends!' Kazuki called out. 'Can you open the door since the idiots are being idiots in the backyard?'

/Haha, be right there!/ minutes later, its a beautiful foreign blonde girl who answered, wearing summer clothes of a loose blue dress and a pair of flip-flops. Her hair is also in a bun. 'Kazuki and company, irrashai. Come in, its hot out here I'm not sure which is worse...my country or this.'

'And yet those two knuckleheads can deal with playing in this heat...' Gokudera said wryly as the fight at the backyard is brutal. But solely skill and not really hitting each other. But one hit with their attacks...ye gads. A trip to Shamal is the result.

But...

'Wow...I like what I'm seeing!' Kazuki gushed out as the older teens...have well-sculpted arms. Yamamoto and Gokudera looked and had...masculinity issues, feeling inferior...inwardly swearing they have to get up to fixing themselves too...

'Oh my, what's your type of boys Kazu-chan?' Nana asked curiously, interest piquing.

'Deceptively-skinny guys who are sculpted bronzed gods under their shirts for physique!' Kazuki swooned in delight as Gokudera and Yamamoto's ears comically wiggled to take that detail in. 'Bulky bodybuilders are gross! Slim but sculpted is beautiful! But in personality a man who'd make me feel like a treasured woman.'

"Don't you get turned on by your own foster brother!" Reborn twitched, preparing himself to smack the girl if need be. She's drooling over her own guardians...

'Uwaa! This is luxurious!'

Saber served them shaved ice with condensed milk, and pureed melon over it combined with chilly cold water.

'It helps stave off heat...I just wish we had this back home too.' Saber lamented, but now she can enjoy it as much as she wanted.

She was definitely enjoying normal life as the girl she should have been, but denied by destiny.

Freedom, Shirou's godly cooking and her own Master treating her like the person she is instead of a tool as Kiritsugu had done to her, this was a major upgrade from life's hardships and toils she felt she finally got her deserved dues. But still, this is merely a vacation for her work to achieve her goal is getting closer.

'Fuyuki is definitely an improvement from Namimori...we don't have trees shielding our house from becoming a seasonal oven even with the air conditioning on full blast mode.' Kazuki sighed. 'A nice canopy to keep the house cool, ocean breeze, yup, summer life is good here.'

'We were planning to spend the whole summer vacation here so I can check up on Shirou-kun too...he's been out here for about a year now and my husband and I adopted him since he and Kazuki are inseparable.' Nana told Saber.

'Ohh...'

Shamal and Reborn eyed 'Aria'.

Saber was powerful. RIDICULOUSLY POWERFUL Sky it was impossible to harmonize with her because nobody frigging matched her. Her flames are just as pure as her power.

It would be hard getting her to answer awkward questions as if she says no, they can't press on, subdued by her sublime presence so they gave up on the idea before they can even start. If they thought Kazuki was Arcobaleno-standards, even she paled to Saber in comparison that in the color chart, Kazuki would be a near-white compared to Saber's strong colors.

That, and she's also Hibari's sparring buddy, only, its with a metal shinai painted well to look like the real thing. But she uses western techniques.

And in the Emiya Residence...it certainly got more crowded and rowdy that day.

But come nighttime...

Not even Reborn can defend from sorcery if applied to him none-the-wiser.

Kazuki went to check on Shirou who was getting ready for bed.

'Kazuki?' Shirou mused as she entered his room in just her underwear.

'Its been quite a while since you left home...how are you dealing without me?'

'Well, its hard but I can't risk it.' said Shirou. 'When I got 'the Talk', I had no idea that our...comfort time would end badly if you happen to be fertile at the time...and you're too young to be a mom!' he choked out. 'I endured it myself and then when Saber's summoned...Avalon powered up and I never had nightmares since.'

'Hummm...then again, Avalon is the strongest barrier we know of...its our one and only chance, Shirou.' Kazuki narrowed her eyes as she's utterly serious. 'During the Grail War...we must put an end to this.'

'Yeah...the next chance is decades away...way too long.' Shirou shuddered as Kazuki snapped her fingers and she's in pajamas.

'I'm glad Avalon became a boon this time...I was getting really worried...you stopped coming to me in Junior High you know...and I had to Soundproof your room lest mom hears it...you big dummy.' Kazuki sighed. 'Considering what I am, I can prevent pregnancy, idiot.'

Shirou looked sheepish.

'Well, what's done is done. Saber being our Servant was a lucky break. Keep her full and Avalon will stay full, alright?'

Next day...

'That beach across the Shipyard?' Shirou blinked. 'Bad idea mom but there IS this swanky resort in Shinto District owned by some foreigner.' he said. 'Its a giant indoor pool made to imitate a beach, controlled waves and comfortable water temperature. There's even more pools on it with crazy slides it became one huge hit with tourists.' he said. 'All hotels are full every summer because of that Resort!'

'Heee...but why is the beach a bad idea?'

'...the area Kazuki's talking about is a nest of poison which was why nobody goes there.'

'Huh?!' Kazuki gasped.

'So Waku Waku Splash Resort is loads safer.' said Shirou. 'No sea nasties, the water's always great and clean, and very safe!' he grinned. 'But we need to purchase tickets to get an in first, a week in advance. The 'Come Anytime' ticket costs 20000 yen by the way.'

'20000?!' Yamamoto yelped, eyes popping ut of his sockets.

'Its OK, Kiri-tousan left us a lot of money anyway, we can foot that!'

'...how much were you left with?' Nana asked the kids in trepidation.

'About 2 trillion yen that goes less each year due to keeping house and food...' said Shirou.

'WHAT?!' the others bar Saber yelped.

'Well, his previous jobs must be high-paying and he hardly spent his fortune the most he spent on was this house and lot...we're practically set for life with that money with some left over until our great-grandkids if spent wisely.'

Nana, Hibari and Yamamoto felt faint.

Shirou and Kazuki were left with a ridiculously huge fortune?

What WAS the man's jobs?!

Well, unlike most jobs given by the government and mafia...the Mage's Association pays ridiculously big...hence, why mages have fat pockets, a basic necessity to have as magecraft isn't cheap and don't come cheap. And as Kiritsugu takes high-risks high-return jobs(because he's suicidal) yet could care less about being a magus, he's filthy rich.

'So shall we buy tickets? It'll be a good idea to go on the last week of summer so we have the place all to ourselves the whole week.' Shirou recommended. 'Until then, there's tons to do too.'

His idea was hiking, summer Temple Festivals, participating in City Events until they got to shopping.

Due to having a big bank account, Shirou gets to eat luxuriously every day, able to buy as much large fish and Uni as much as he wanted. In fact, his fridge is chock-full of these! Combined with his skills, indeed, Reborn praised his skills in cooking, saying 'He improved from years last he saw him.'

Hibari was glad this rich idiot was his 'best friend'. Every school vacation Shirou has culinary luxuries on the table.

(his rare smiles ONLY appear when he gets 'his fix' and Shirou's food)

There's a limit to how generous Shirou was though. Solely food and school-related things only, even bumming a room but never money.

A summer of cool luxury passed them by.

Cool, healthy, reinforced luxury that Gokudera, the unhealthiest of the kids, recovered some of the damage in his body in a short time.

When the time came for Waku Waku Splash...

'T-this is...' came wide-eyed stares in disbelief.

This must be the BIGGEST resort they have been to in their lives.

Big land it was on aside, the pools are just-as-ridiculous. In regards to size and how it looked.

Indoor Resort Paradise.

The two adult mafioso felt all resorts in Mafia Land fell short to this.

'O-oh my...I wonder what billionaire owns this place?' Gokudera stammered, wide-eyed as in an office within the resort, Gilgamesh sneezed and ended up scattering his paperwork.

'Uwaaa...we should be back here every year from now on!' Nana squealed giddily. 'Ooh I wish Iemitsu's here!' they ran into the resort to secure a place for themselves before going out to get dressed for swimming. They have their own food and everything...while the boys wore boxers, Nana wore a very conservative one piece suit unlike her daughter who's more...adventurous in her bikini. Even Saber was more conservative!

Kazuki went out in a blue halter top with wavy patterns that she tied behind her neck and at her front and a black low-waist bikini shorts.

It does NOT help that she has the waist, hips and legs most girls would kill to have due to shape and slenderness due to training and magic. And she was more developed than Saber and that's saying something!

She earned wide-eyed stares from her Guardians(bar Shirou who already saw everything) too, oblivious to their manly plights as she helped Nana carry their food.

"Oh, wow..." they all thought as they looked up...and slowly down.

Many things and thoughts ran into their heads, prompting Reborn to whack them all with a harisen.

'Stop staring and carry the rest of our load!'

Meanwhile in Namimori...

'That's weird, why can't I locate where they went?' Bianchi wondered as she arrived in town to 'free' Reborn from his 'boring job' so they could work together again ala Bonnie and Clyde, her vision of Hitman Romance saw that the Sawada Residence was locked up and empty. She tracked their tracks but came up short!

Same problems for little Lambo who stayed in a hotel until his 'rival' comes back...
