Hello everyone!
Warnings: No pairings, subtle fanservice, swearing, poorly written fight scenes, non-beta'd, and possible OOC
Note: will only be using Japanese honorifics and nicknames, otherwise no Japanese phrases or Italian ones. Why? Because it's a hassle and I don't wish to write anything incorrectly and upset someone.
Also possible spoilers for those who haven't completed the manga, which I highly recommend doing. My goal is to finish at least one chapter a month. I'm currently attending college, but it's pretty easy right now, so all should be well.
This is set TYL. Meaning, Tsuna is 25, so base the other guardians around that. Reborn is an adult now, if you read the last chapters or other fanfics, then you can use your imagination to decide how it's possible.
I wrote this over a span of two nights, both of which were filled with sugar and non-caffeinated beverages, so I blame every mistake on sugar. Every non-mistake was obviously thanks to my brilliance. *shot*
Disclaimer: No, I do not own Katekyo Hitman Reborn and its characters. I do own this plot and the laptop used to write this story.

"Herbivore, you better have a good reason for forming this...crowd."
"Hey! Don't speak to the Tenth like that, you bastard!"
"There, there, 'Dera. It's not like this is different from any other day."
"Kufufu, it is always entertaining here in the mansion."
"LET'S START THIS EXTREME MEETING!"
"Lambo-sama does not wish to be here anymore."
Tsuna rubbed his temples and sighed in annoyance. He thought that after being with his guardians for ten years, he would be used to their bickering. Unfortunately, this is not the case. He already knew that getting them together, even after becoming the Vongola boss, would be difficult, but he had to otherwise...Tsuna didn't want to think of what would happen if he wasn't able to get them together.
After five more minutes of Hibari nearly biting Gokudera to death, Yamamoto trying to keep Smokin' Bomber at bay, Lambo falling asleep, and Mukuro and Ryohei* being themselves, Tsuna had enough.
"Shut up!" Tsuna yells as he slams his hands on his desk. They were in his office and everyone was either leaning against the wall or sitting on one of the multiple sofas. Everyone got quiet at once. Their boss rarely ever yelled or got angry and when they saw him like that, they knew he was serious and not to be messed with.
Dame-Tsuna certainly changed these past ten years, a certain number-one hitman thought as he smirked. He was leaning against the wall behind Tsuna next to Chrome, who had already been given the details of this mission. She pulled her trident toward her body and watched as her boss quieted the room.
Tsuna certainly did change. The only one who still called him Dame-Tsuna was Reborn and the brunette knew better than to bother changing that. It took him a while to willingly become the boss of the Vongola family, but he only agreed when the Ninth became really sick and couldn't bare to see him like that anymore. After one year of being the tenth boss, Tsuna realized that he could no longer lead his naive and innocent life and had to toughen up just to get people to acknowledge him.
Take now for example.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and quietly watched as their boss stood up from his desk.
Tsuna sighed one more time and reverted to a calm tone he generally saved for business.
"As you all have probably heard, the Spasso famiglia has requested an audience with me. However, due to their small numbers, they cannot risk the chance of coming here and wish for me and a small group to meet them at a secure location. This family does have benefits, such as their tacticians and even their fighting prowess, which is why I believe we as the Vongola cannot pass up this chance." Tsuna took a breath as he was still unaccustomed to speaking that long. His tone relaxed a bit and they knew the old Tsuna was coming out as he continued. "I know you guys are worried, but Reborn, Chrome and a few others will be joining me. So I beg you all to just please get along. It should only be two days, three at most. I also need you all to stay here in case anything happens. Yes, I'm aware that some of you would rather not, but we absolutely cannot allow this place to be left unguarded."
Gokudera was the first to respond. "T-Tenth, as your right-hand-man, I should come with you! This could be a trap, and if anything were to happen-"
"Hayato," Tsuna interrupted the explosive man. He can no longer remember when he started calling all his guardians by their first name. "I'll be fine, even if it may be a trap, don't forget I still have Reborn and Chrome with me. If even they cannot do anything, then who can?"
Tsuna gave his guardians one of his signature encouraging smiles and the guardians all knew that his leaving was final.
Yamamoto put his arm around the worried bomber. "Relax, if Tsuna says he'll be fine, then he will."
"Get off of me baseball freak," Gokudera responded automatically using the old nickname he gave Yamamoto. The "baseball freak" removed his arm and shrugged.
"So, Tsunayoshi, when do you plan on leaving?" Mukuro asked grinning curiously. He had made some plans to have some "fun" with the other guardians and wanted to know when they could start. Tsuna blinked at the question, sensing some sneaky intent and looked at Reborn, who simply nodded.
"Now. We should do this as soon as possible."
Mukuro's grin turned mischievous.
"Well, have fun, Tsuna and come back safe!" Yamamoto laughed and Tsuna gave a relieved sigh and truly believed that his guardians, his family, will be alright.
It had been a day since Tsuna, Reborn and Chrome had left. The past two days were the first days in long time that all the male guardians had been in the mansion at the same time, bringing the testosterone levels higher than normal and also causing a need to store more blood in the infirmary, for multiple reasons. Tsuna had just began his life as the boss the first and last time the guardians were all in one place. It was only to be expected.
All the guardians were doing their own work, knowing they cannot leave the mansion guarded by only the subordinates. Hibari was on the roof, napping and staying away from the crowd. Gokudera was completing all of the paperwork left by Tsuna that needed done immediately. Ryohei and Yamamoto were jogging around the mansion, doing "surveillance", but everyone knew they were actually racing. Lambo was hiding out in the kitchen. And no one wanted to know what Mukuro was really doing in his room.
None of them knew that their activities would be stopped.
Mukuro, who had actually been working on strengthening the security with his illusions, noticed a presence enter his barrier. It was not familiar.
"Kufufu, who dares to enter the Vongola mansion?" he asked himself. The only other person who had been in the room was the maid who had set down a tray of snacks for him. She left the room rather quickly, as it was rather frightening to be in a room with someone who spoke to himself while holding on to a trident.
Hearing the alarm go off, Mukuro smirked. He left his room and headed downstairs to the foyer, where he could sense many of the guardians moving toward. He could care less about what was going on; all that mattered was finding out how they could push their way into his barrier.
Meanwhile, Yamamoto and Ryohei had just completed their race and were on their way to the kitchen to cool down with some water. They had just made it to the foyer when the alarm went off and intruders flooded in.
"Looks like we'll have to get the water later," Yamamoto Takeshi said solemnly as he pulled out the sword he always kept with him.
"YEAH! FIGHT TO THE EXTREME!" shouted Sasagawa Ryohei, not that anyone really needed to try hard to figure that out.
They both activated their Vongola Gear and started defending their home.
Lambo had finally managed to coax the chef into giving him cake when the alarm went off.
"Yare yare*," Lambo groaned as he put the cake down and left the kitchen. He figured the others would yell at him if he didn't at least help. Lambo ran and started ushering as many people out the side doors as possible, looking for at least one of the other guardians as he evacuated people from each room.
The cow-pattern-loving teenager continued his plan for getting the staff out of the mansion and ran into Gokudera, who had been running in the opposite direction.
"Watch it, stupid cow," Gokudera grumbled and held his head. He sighed. "What are you heading this way for anyway? The main battle is in the foyer, according to the muscle-heads."
Lambo was hoping he could get away from the fighting, but of course, he had to run into one of the few people who would actually force him to fight.
He sighed as the octopus-head dragged him toward the foyer.
When they reached the front, the two noticed they were the last ones to have made it to the fight. Many of the the intruders were already down; their bodies surrounding a certain skylark, having been bitten to death. However, there were many still standing and Lambo knew that he really did not want to be there. Gokudera, on the other hand brought out his dynamites and his Vongola Gear, already going after some of the intruders. Ryohei and Yamamoto had taken out quite a few men already.
Lambo noticed a few women amongst the attackers, and it seems that Mukuro had taken care of them already. Not wanting to be completely defenseless, Lambo activated his helm and started rushing at the people still fighting.
The foyer suddenly filled with smoke, but no one paid it any mind, thinking that it was caused by Gokudera's explosives. It wasn't until the guardians became dizzy that they realized it was not normal smoke. Lambo fell to the ground, weighted down by his helmet that was still slightly too heavy for him. He heard a coughing noise and saw the boxer on his knees holding his chest.
"Yare yare. This has become troublesome, hasn't it?" Lambo muttered to himself. He heard Yamamoto laugh somewhere and wondered where that man got his cheerfulness.
The smoke became thicker and Lambo's eyes started to water and he noticed that the men that were on the floor around him were slowly disappearing.
Hibari closed his eyes and listened for movement. Someone moved behind him and he hastily turned around, tonfa in hand. His tonfa was grabbed and he heard a suspicious laugh.
"Oh, is the cloud of the Vongola having difficulty in this cloud of mine?" A voice spoke from the area in front of him. Knowing that if he opened his eyes, his vision would not get better, Hibari kept his eyes closed and snarled at the mysterious intruder. He used his free hand to land another attack, but it was stopped all the same.
"I'm leaving, don't worry, but for humiliating my family like this, I'll leave a gift. Once the smoke clears, you'll see it."
And the man was gone, leaving a very confused Hibari.
Eventually, as the man had said, the smoke cleared. Hibari looked around for the gift and frowned. Something was off and was making him angry. The other guardians started moving and the Foundation's leader immediately saw what was wrong.
"Yare yare, that fight was quite the pain in the ass," said Sasagawa Ryohei. That was strange, the boxer would have used the word "extreme" at least once in that sentence.
"Shut up lawn-head, we protected the Tenth's home, and that's all that matters." Those words came out of Lambo's mouth, who had never once called Tsuna "Tenth". Hibari looked over at a man leaning at the wall, waiting for him to say something, just to find out which person he will have to bite to death later.
"Kufufu, this is certainly interesting. I'm glad I joined in on this fight." Oh how Hibari wished he did not hear that come out of his own mouth. He clicked his tongue and the others looked at him, baffled.
All of the guardians had somehow switched bodies.

*Ryohei - the reason I refer only to him by his first name is that Sasagawa makes me think of Kyoko and writing his first name is less confusing for me and perhaps you, my readers
*Yare yare - yes, I know I said I won't use Japanese/Italian phrases, but the English translation of this simply doesn't have the same effect. Yamamoto's "maa maa" roughly translates to "There there", which sounds alright, unlike "my oh my". Besides, I hear Adult Lambo's voice when reading "yare yare", so it might just be my inner fangirl thinking that.
Please let me know if I made a mistake, my characters seem way too OOC (which is bound to happen when someone attempts a TYL fanfic), if there are parts that are confusing, was this moving too fast, or even if you simply noticed something off.
If you are afraid of flaming, don't worry, I have a fire extinguisher. Also, if you have a fanfic that you would like me to read, just pm me and I'll gladly read and review.
For those of you scared of reviewing, don't worry; I'm not the type to be deterred by such a thing. I truly enjoy writing and I want to see this end well. So, thank you for taking time out of your day to read this! Feel free to PM me if you want. I like follows, so if it's easier for you to do that, then feel free!
You may leave now and I'll see you in the near future.
~Arrivederci!~
