A SUDDEN CHANGE OF HEART?
What do you do when you wake up as a girl after spending the last 15 years of your existence as a boy?
PROLOGUE
"Tsuna" started Reborn on a warm Sunday noon.
Tsunayoshi Sawada glanced at his tutor with a questioning look.
"You're a girl." Said the baby and then smirked.
Tsuna laughed nervously.
"Haa-haa…Reborn, what are you talking about?"
But Reborn just continued to smirk and landed a kick on Tsuna's face.
"Owww…That hurts Re-" a sharp intake of breath was heard from Tsuna as he realized that his voice has changed. It was suddenly (and alarmingly) of higher note than normal. He began trembling so strongly that his whole body shook..
He slowly and reluctantly looked down and found himself (or is it herself?) wearing a dress with many frills and laces. It was damned pink. Then, before he could blink, a full- sized mirror was placed immediately in front of him. And in there he saw a girl with long flowing brown hair, exceptionally big brown eyes, thin lips, petite body, and most especially (we shouldn't forget) a face wearing the most shocked expression you could ever muster.
"AARRGGHHH!" the earth underneath Namimori shook.
CHAPTER I: BEGINNINGS WITHOUT ENDINGS
"Oi, stupid Tsuna, wake up dummy. I said wake up. Have it your way then." Then,
BANG
BANG
BANG
"Arrgghh…REBORN!" shouted Tsuna while he got up and started scurrying to the farthest corner of his four- walled bedroom, away from his demon tutor.
"Who are you calling demon tutor? Useless Tsuna." He cocked another bullet.
"Ahh...no, no. Greatest tutor, most powerful Arcobaleno, ohayou gozaimasu." Said Tsuna nervously then bowed.
"Hn. I admit I'm impressed. You're still alive after 3 consecutive bullets. Congratulations."
That woke Tsuna up.
"I nearly died! I might even be a ghost now because you like, no, because you love trying to kill me!" yelled the pissed off boy on the top of his lungs.
"Every morning I get to be greeted into this world by your fatal style of awakening! I still have dreams, I still have to go on a date with Kyoko- chan, I still have- Eh?" apparently, the baby he was supposed to be talking to was nowhere to be found.
"REBORN!" the hanging plants in Namimori danced in the air.
"My my, Tsuna is always so lively, isn't he?" said Nana as she smiled sweetly.
"Yes mama. He always is." answered Reborn with the most innocent and angelic face.
"Thank you Reborn. Would you like another batch of eggs?" Will he say no? The answer is no.
The sound of descending footsteps can be heard that moment and then,
"Ohayou gozaimasu, everyone!"
"Ohayou, Tsuna-nii." greeted Fuuta as Tsuna made his way to his seat. Tsuna was about to begin his breakfast when,
"Reborn! Give me back my eggs!" cried Tsuna but Reborn simply dropped the eggs down his throat.
"Too late Dame Tsuna, a mafia boss should protect his own property." said the impassive baby.
"Unh…I'm not a mafia! I don't want to be one! Never gonna be one!"
"You still have 5 minutes to get to class Tsuna." Said Reborn underneath Bianchi's loving embrace as she fed him omelets filled with her pure and exceptionally can-be-fatal love.
"EEIIHHH!"
Tsuna literally flew out of the house. Yeah, through the window. Why? The mystery lies in Reborn's flying kick. It was not Reborn who flew to kick Tsuna, it was Tsuna who flew after the kick (well, whatever).
"Ahhhh!"
Luckily, Yamamoto Takeshi and Gokudera Hayato were walking past while bickering (it was a one-sided fight, however, for it was only Gokudera who kept the heat up).
"Jyuudaime! Are you okay? Who did this to you? Let me at them." Growled Gokudera and stood up in front of Tsuna protectively.
"Yo, Tsuna. Hahaha…that was a nice turn you did while flying. Just like a baseball." said Yamamoto with the ever-so-present grin of his.
"Shut up, you stupid baseball freak! Jyuudaime would have been hurt! You're not hurt, are you, Jyuudaime?" inquired the self-proclaimed right-hand man with concern lacing with his voice.
"Ouch, I'm okay Gokudera-kun." Squeaked Tsuna.
"Hahaha. As expected of you Tsuna. You're tough."
"Shut up, baseball freak! That's my line. Of course Jyuudaime's tough. He's my boss." Stated the bomber as if what he said had summarized everything up.
"Maa maa, come on. Let's start walking. We'll be late for class." Said the unaffected (it pissed off Gokudera more) baseball star.
"EEIIHH!" squeaked the Decimo, who stood looking at his watch. They had wasted 2 whole minutes of his precious and limited time.
"What's wrong, Jyuudaime? Are you hurt? Look at what you did, you baseball idiot!" yelled Gokudera.
"Calm down, Gokudera-kun. Yamamoto's right. We're gonna be late if we don't hurrry."
Gokudera: = ( "Hai, Jyuudaime."
They arrived in sight of The Namimori Middle High at exactly two minutes and thirty seconds.
They ran further and saw the school committee's president standing at the gate with his back leaning on the brick wall. The sight made Tsuna run to his exteremes.
"Starting from the Sawada residence, Tsuna, you arrived here exactly 4 minutes and 45 seconds later. Yamamoto Takeshi: 4 minutes and 50 seconds. Gokudera Hayato: 4 minutes and 50 seconds" announced Reborn in his Elder Pao Pao outfit.
"Reborn! Why are you recording such things?" asked Tsuna.
"I won't answer a useles question." answered Elder Pao Pao.
"EXTREME! Join the boxing club, Sawada!" boomed Sasagawa Ryohei.
"Uh.. Nii-san?"
"Sasagawa Ryohei: 4 minutes and 45 seconds." announced Elder Pao Pao.
"And he started from Tsuna's house, around the town, and back again." Piped on Reborn….oops! Ehem, Elder Pao Pao.
"Huh! He'll be no match for Jyuudaime the next time. Shut your yap, lawn head! and why do I have to be tied to this baseball jerk?" ranted on Gokudera.
"What did you say, Octopus head?" countered the boxer.
"Grrrrr…." (If only looks could kill, I'd be dropping dead by now-hey, I'm the authoress, right?)
"Maa maa. We're late." chuckled the ever-smiling Yamamoto.
"EEIIHH! Hibari-san's coming!" squealed Tsuna in terror as the school prefect edged on closer to them. He glanced frantically around him to look for a place to hide.
"Crowding of herbivores is against the rules. I'll bite you to death." declared the prefect as he hoisted his tonfas into the air.
"Why you-" started Gokudera.
"Hahaha…sorry Hibari-san. We'll go in immediately." piped in Yamamoto.
"Hn. You're late. Detention. Friday after classes. Reception room." Said the prefect and left with a graceful swish of his jacket.
They arrived late and was greeted by a very pissed off instructor.
They were of varying reactions to this.
Gokudera merely walked to his chair and sat, then rested his feet on his table, hands behind his head.
Yamamoto scratched the back of his head and started laughing because of who-knows-what.
For Tsuna though,
"Every time your gang comes in, you're late. Don't you have any respect remaining for me?" cried their teacher dramatically.
"Aahhh…We're very sorry sensei. We'll try harder next time." pleaded Tsuna. This was one of the times when he was supposed to keep his cool, walk to his seat, and say nothing else- to impress Kyoko! But fate wanted him to remain in front of the class and endure the sermon of their teacher.
Finally, the teacher calmed down after a few more minutes of yelling.
And, they resumed their boring classes until late afternoon.
~):^ (I)
Tsuna went home that night in a very tired state. But as soon as he came in sight of his beloved house,
BANG
"Dame-Tsuna, you're late." said the sun Arcobaleno.
"Reborn! You don't have to shoot me you know." Tsuna staggered to his feet.
"Kyuudaime is here." was the simple answer.
CHAPTER 2: YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
"A…a…ah...ky...kyuudaime. What are you doing here?" Tsuna received another kick from Reborn.
"He's the boss of the most powerful mafia family, stupid. Anywhere he wants, he goes."
The mafia boss was wearing a casual outfit that you often see worn by people everywhere. So simple. With the boss were at least 6 men in black (not so simple) and sitting on the couch was…Shamal, with a shamed expression on his face.
The current Vongola boss chuckled.
"Don't be too hard on my next successor Reborn. He can talk to me in whatever way he wants."
Tsuna paled. "I…I…I don't actually want to ba a…a…mafia. Much less a boss." whispered Tsuna in a voice not intended for humans.
But i guess the ninth boss was not human because he heard it nonetheless. "Now now, don't say such things Tsu-kun. You won the ring conflict. You deserve to be the Decimo." The mafia boss smiled kindly.
"and for another thing," Kyuudaime suddenly turned serious.
"I'm here to awaken you."
"Huh? Awaken? What do you mean? Ky…Kyuudaime?" said Tsuna.
"Let's start with this. Reborn probably never told you this without my permission but now you have the right to know." He paused.
"Shamal here (he pointed to Shamal) discovered a new kind of disease and gave it to one of his mosquitoes 15 years ago. Now, you know how the mosquitoes work, don't you? (Tsuna nodded) he accidentally released his mosquito which wandered off on its own in the hospital Shamal was in. Shamal and a few of my subordinates searched for the mosquito (and it's not even big so it can be easily spotted) and finally, found it landed on a baby in the nursery. It was landed on…you." narrated Kyuudaime.
Why me? thought Tsuna miserably but he chose to keep his tongue. wow, Reborn's lessons are actually kicking in. Know when to hold your tongue.
"The disease carried by the mosquito was the gender-bender disease." said Reborn with a sudden flash of his eyes.
"Oh...so"
1 minute of deafening silence passed.
2 minutes.
3 min-
"WHAT?" for the second time that day, Namimori shook. It was still a wonder what a big voice the small Tsuna could produce.
At the same moment, Shamal stood up from the couch and slowly took something out from his inside pocket.
"I'm sorry, Tsuna. But I will correct my mistake now. Nothing to worry about." And he advanced towards Tsuna.
Tsuna tried to resist and run but found his living room exits blocked by the MIB together with their shiny (gulp) and dangerously big (gulp gulp) guns.
The frightened boy was just wondering how painful this would be when a ready reply came:
"Dame-Tsuna, it's a mosquito bite. It can also be like a bee's sting, depending on the mosquito's size." said the baby in the fedora coolly.
"Uh…really? Like a beasting? Ahhh!"
"It's going to be alright." said Kyuudaime. Shamal was only a few more feet away…a foot…inches.
The old man's concerned face was the last thing he saw before he was claimed by the darkness.
...ooo00800ooo...
"Unh…Itai. My head hurts. Huh?" he clearly saw that he was not on his own room. He wandered his gaze about and discovered that he was in a luxurious circular room. He slowly rose from the bed and was shocked to see Reborn in a high-backed chair facing him.
"How are you feeling Tsuna?" began Reborn.
Huh? Since when was Reborn concerned for him? thought Tsuna.
"First of all, because you're my student. I don't want to have you dying in front of me before you complete your training, although I can turn my back and you can die- just not in front of me. Next, because it's healthy to ask questions and lace it with drama to gain the trust of that person." said Reborn.
Brutal…always brutal.
"Who are you calling brutal, Dame-Tsuna?" He cocked his gun and took aim.
The scared Tsuna ran to the farthest corner of the room until he noticed while running that he was wearing a gown.
He looked down. It was a girl's gown.
He took a deep breath. It was pink.
He closed his eyes and opened them again. He was wearing a girly pink gown (did that make it a "she"?).
"AAARRRGGGHHH!" this time, the whole Vongola mansion shook.
"Reborn! What happened to me? bring me back!." Said Tsuna frantically and began running to and fro inside the room. He felt something bouncing in his (her?) chest and felt it with her hands. It was squishy and soft. He squeezed.
"AAARRRGGGHHH! What are these things? I'm going to die! I've turned into a freak!" shouted the exasperated girl.
Reborn kicked her face.
"For the record, you were always a freak. And I can't bring you back. That's who you really are. Weren't you listening to Kyuudaime when he explained?" scoffed her tutor.
"Argh…I thought it was a dream! This can't be happening." Tsuna flailed her thin arms in front of her as she ran round and round and round the room at a furious speed.
"Don't think. It requires a brain, Tsuna and you don't have one." said Reborn.
"Let's go down for breakfast. I'm hungry."
The baby strode towards the door.
"Ehh? Reborn! Don't leave me! Where are we anyway? How long have I been asleep?" the girl ran to follow her demonic tutor.
"You slept for two days. Now, we're in Italy." answered Reborn with a suiting demonic smirk.
Meanwhile, three figures were camouflaged with dirt and were crawling inch by inch into the Vongola mansion. They were sure that they were unnoticed. They can't die yet. They still have the most important mission that they have to fulfill.
"They probably kept him in the dungeons. But we still don't know which dungeon because the mansion holds a thousand secrets of its own. But let us not shrink from the thought. We have to prevail. We cannot keep him in there any long-"
"OI, YOU, WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?" boomed Gokudera.
"Pathetic, you resemble more and more the most pathetic herbivore." said Hibari Kyoya in the most even voice.
"Shut up! I'm doing this for Jyuudaime, you ungrateful twerp!" cried the silver-haired subordinate.
Let us take a peek through time when it all started.
Two days ago, while walking home, they saw their boss, Tsuna, being dragged (well carried, actually but this is how Gokudera saw it) into a black car.
"Why you-" Gokudera stood up from their hiding place.
"Wait, octopus head. Someone's coming out from the house. Isn't that extremely the perverted doctor?" said Ryohei.
And so it was Shamal. Followed by…(gasp Gokudera, gasp)
"Kyuudaime?"
"Eh? Isn't that Tsuna's grandfather?" whispered Yamamoto. "Hahaha, they're probably going to a vacation, you know, family outing." Yamamoto chuckled.
But the bomber was not listening. He stood there, thinking of the worst case scenario: his beloved Jyuudaime hanging upside down on the starboard side of the ship, asking for his most trusted and most able right hand man. Gokudera's eyes sparkled.
"Don't worry boss, I will save you." He said and strode to the other side of the road. Much to the amazament of his two companions.
Enough guys, come back to the present time.
"I'll bite you to death" was the reply.
"Maa maa, we still have things to do, we have no time for this." intervened Yamamoto.
"Hmph. I hate to admit it but you're right. And could you hide? We'll be caught easily if you just keep strolling casually." said the grumpy Gokudera.
"Kufufufu…(I remember that laugh, thought the three who were lying dirtily on the ground) You dragged us into this. We didn't want to come." Rokudo Mukuro suddenly materialized into the air. Tonfas and a trident clashed.
"I did not invite you! Why are you here?" said the pissed off Gokudera.
"Can't you see I'm busy at the moment? Kufufufu…" they continued fighting until a sudden "click " was heard.
"Hahaha, what's that glowing thing in your hand Sasagawa-san?" asked Yamamoto with his ever-present-smile.
"Oh, shit." It was a landmine.
"Hey!" shouted Gokudera "Help us get out of here! There's a landmine!" yelled Gokudera.
The mention of the word "landmine" and the mist and cloud guardian suddenly fought at a furious speed, their images were blurry. As one, they edged farther away from Yamomoto, Gokudera and Ryohei.
"Hey! Come back here!"
"Oi, lawn head, what's a landmine? And this light is extremely hurting my eyes." Said Ryohei and started to get up.
"No!" cried the rain and storm guardian together. T-O-O L-A-T-E.
Birds squawked and flew in every direction, away from the explosion.
:+(
At that moment, back in the Vongola mansion, Tsuna felt a sudden shiver run down her spine. Oh no, this is not going to be good. Wait, when did something good happen to me? he thought bitterly.
"Everything went good for you since you met me." stated her tutor.
Blood boiling, Tsuna countered with a high- pitched and high- volume voice:
"Everything went wrong since I met you! How could you even say that?"
Pause.
Birds outside sang happy songs.
The guards continued to patrol around the mansion.
Tsuna gathered her breath.
"REEEBOOORN!" it was a shout which lasted for a long time, eyes closed. When she opened them again, her tutor was gone. She gathered a fresh supply of air but then,
"Voi! Who dares to make noise that loud besides me?" and the figure of Squalo along with Xanxus, appeared around the corner.
"EEIIHH! Oh no!" oh yes. It was indeed the rain guardian and worse, the boss of the Varia, in the flesh, coming towards her. Tsuna glanced around to discover that there was nowhere she could hide. She paled. She actually stopped breathing.
Then, they engaged into a gaze battle. Squalo's long-maned head rose up and went down again. Xanxus stood there impassively. Then, he did the most unexpected thing anyone in their right minds would do.
"Hey stupid boss, what do you think you're doing?"
He strode forward. Swooped down a hand. And squeezed one of the two lumps in Tsuna's chest. Xanxus paled.
"AARRGGHHH! A freak! A freak! A mutated being! What the heck is he?" Squalo ran to and fro, clawing at his face.
Tsuna just stood there gazing at Xanxus with her mouth open and was probably off of its hinges, too stunned to speak. They both stood there staring at each other.
"What's with the costume, trash?"
The girl fainted.
CHAPTER 3: HOW TO BE A GRRRL MANUAL
Tsuna was feeling a little dazed when she got up. Again, she was in the circular room and a tray of food invited her to get up and go straight to the table.
She ate ravenously. She ate like a pig. She gulped the chicken like there was no tomorrow (just like the carnivorous Hibari). She swallowed without chewing and a big piece of food got stuck in her throat. She coughed until she turned red, blue, green, and finally, purple. Her face was just like the rainbow. Luckily, a glass of water was placed in front of her.
"Thank you." She said and glanced up.
"B…Bianchi!" cried the brunette and ran over, hugging Bianchi. She missed someone from Japan miserably that anyone familiar will do.
Huh? Why am I hugging her? Have I no respect? She thought and withdrew from the embrace.
"I…uh…I'm sorry Bianchi. I didn't mean to be a pervert. It's just that…that…Uhh." Tsuna was just lost for words, and was trying so hard to look for anything to say that you could hear her mind gears whirring furiously.
But Bianchi just smiled kindly and said, "It's okay Tsunahime, we're both women after all. There's no sin in hugging anyone you've missed."
"Huh? Who's Tsunahime?" inquired Tsuna with her eyebrows almost meeting at the center of her forehead.
Bianchi laughed a feminine laugh (wow, Tsuna thought. I wish I could be like her. Argh…what am I thinking?).
"Your name from now on is Tsunahime, Tsunahime. That was your real name before that perverted false doctor treated you with the wrong mosquito (You see, just like Gokudera, Bianchi seems to see things her way and make it hard for anyone who angered them to explain what really happened. Ah…such family resemblance.). But now, it will be your name once more and what's truly more? You can use that name forever." said Bianchi.
"Now," continued Bianchi "Reborn my love (her eyes sparkled like diamonds), has asked me to instruct you how to be properly feminine. And we will be getting my ideas from this book."
The book was entitled "How to Be a Grrrl" its letterings were done with what seems to be- bloody red lipstick that formed into cursive letters artistically. Tsunahime gulped. This is going to be soooo messy.
They began their lesson with CHAPTER ONE: KNOW HOW TO DRESS. So practically, she spent the day going through magazines. It was rather tiring actually. She wondered how the girls in her school actually manage their time. What with the shopping and all that; they take hours just to choose some fabric sewed together, which they call clothes.
"Now," said Bianchi "you have to look your best every time we go out. And we're gonna have your practice today." continued Bianchi with a small smile. This is sooo not good.
..ooo00800ooo…
I also went back to these chapters to edit some typographical errors. Please, please, please review. And it's really hard to find the title, no? It's easier if you would just type my name- mikage-me07.
This is my first time to write this kind of story so I'm open to suggestions. I hope you like it guys! Enjoy my Vongola dish!
