Taking A Bullet

By Flamewater

I noticed a bullet heading for the Tenth and managed to get him out of the way, but it hit me on the chest. The bullet had been pink and blue in color. For some reason I felt no pain, didn't really feel any different, and noticed that the Tenth caught the shooter.

I placed my hand onto my chest thinking there should be blood, but felt something else. Something that should not be there.

"Tenth, I think this bullet turned me into a chick." I commented slowly to him. I had my hand between my legs to confirm whether or I was completely female. "I don't have a penis anymore. I'm all female."

I was in a bit of shock, but at least this didn't happen to the Tenth and that brought me some comfort. No time to worry about the whole being a female instead of a male that can wait until later. I walked over to him and grabbed the shooter firmly by the neck.

"Gokudera." The Tenth said to me and his eyes were wide in pure shock. "You are a girl now."

I nodded at him and turned my attention back to the shooter. I'll talk to the tenth after I gain information.

"Why the hell were you aiming for the Tenth. Who the fuck hired you and what kind of bullet did you hit me with you son of a bitch." I said viciously, the shooter was turning blue, and his eyes were getting wide. I threw him to the ground and glared at him along with pulling out my dynamite.

"You better start answering before I castrate your sorry ass." I snapped angrily and he was gasping for air, but it served him right for trying to shot the Tenth. "I'm pissed off."

"It's a bullet that changes a person's gender and lasts for a year." The shooter said weakly and groaned. "I don't know who hired me. I had one bullet to use and didn't see anyone face to face or given a name."

"Tenth, Can I kill him?" I asked calmly after getting the information that was needed and the shooter started begging 'Please don't kill me'.

The Tenth silently shook his head 'No', I mentally sighed, and glared harshly down at the shooter.

"Get the hell out of here now." I stated firmly and sharply. The shooter got up, ran like hell, and I looked at the Tenth. I walked towards him and he looked at me with big eyes.

"I'm sorry Gokudera. It is all my fault for not paying attention." Tsuna said to me suddenly, his eyes were starting to tear up, and he looked at me. "Because of me you have become a girl."

"It's alright. Besides at least I'm still alive and able to protect you." I commented gently and shook my head at him. "Please don't blame yourself, Tenth. It is my fault for not keeping a better eye out for danger. I would gladly take another bullet for you regardless of what it does to me in order to protect you."

I meant every word I said to him and in the mafia world there are all sorts of bullets. Maybe I should add a knife as being one of my weapons, easy to throw, and doesn't need to be lit.

"Gokudera, How do you feel?" The Tenth asked me quietly and I wonder why he was asking so quietly.

"I'm alright. Glad you are okay and that you didn't get hit with the bullet." I replied honestly as I looked at him and then smiled brightly at him. "I'm the best right hand man, right? Although I have breasts and a vagina right now. I guess that would make me the best right hand woman."

The Tenth fainted for some reason after my words and I picked him up easily in my arms while briefly noticing his nose was bleeding for some reason. I carried him to his house and wondered why Yamamoto was staring at me, but then remembered and the reason I had forgotten was because I was focused on getting the Tenth home safely. I set the Boss down onto the sofa and gave Yamamoto a look.

"Gokudera?" Yamamoto asked in disbelief, eyes wide, and I gave him an annoyed expression.

"What are you doing at the Tenth's house." I said in an irritated voice and he blinked his eyes.

"Gokudera, Your shirt is partially undone and I can see part of your breasts." Yamamoto stated bluntly, I swore in Italian, and flipped him off. "It is true, Gokudera."

"You are not bothering to ask why the fuck I'm a girl now." I commented angrily and I don't give a damn if my breasts are showing or not. "That should have been the first damn question, Baseball freak."

Yamamoto blinked his eyes, laughed, and shook his head.

"You are exactly the same." Yamamoto commented to me cheerfully and I gritted my teeth.

"I took a bullet for the Tenth and said bullet has turned me into a female." I stated firmly and my fists were clenched. "This is fucking serious, Baseball idiot. Who knows another shooter might show up and turn you into a girl."

"So those are real breasts not fake ones." Yamamoto said to me calmly and his expression was serious. "Someone is targeting Tsuna."

"Yes they are fucking real and the shooter was after Tsuna, but I protected him and took the bullet for him. Now look at me." I snapped angrily and he walked over to me.

"I'm sorry for laughing, Gokudera. I thought it was just a joke." Yamamoto told me honestly and I flipped him off.

"Have I ever told a damn joke? I'm serious unlike you." I said bluntly, he sighed, and we both looked at our Boss. "Anyway, I'm going to protect the Tenth and I will find out who the hell is trying to turn him into a chick. Along with the damn reason."

After a moment the Tenth woke up and he looked at me. His cheeks were flushed for some reason, he looked away, and covered up his nose.

"Tenth, What is wrong? Did I do something? I'm sorry for whatever I did." I said quickly in a panic and Yamamoto was laughing. "Shut the hell up, Baseball freak."

"You should really button up your shirt, Gokudera." Yamamoto commented happily and he started laughing again. What the hell does my shirt have anything to do with the Tenth not looking at me.

Oh, I have breasts. I keep on suppressing the knowledge that I have been turned into a female by that damn bullet and maybe going through a bit of denial without making it known to the world. I don't want the Tenth to worry about me.

"Not funny, Moron." I snapped angrily as I buttoned up my shirt, silently swore to myself, and the laughter from Yamamoto died down.

"So you have been hit by the opposite gender bullet." Reborn commented to me and I nodded at him. "The effects last for a year. It changes the reproductive organs and they are fully functional. You no longer have an Adams apple, but you have breasts now. There is no change in height or weight or hair length."

"Will I have menstrual cycles?" I asked curiously and I could have sworn Reborn was smirking. I recalled for a moment about don't ask the question if you do not want to know the answer.

"I did say fully functional reproductive organs. Yes, You will have one every month lasting for three to five days." Reborn replied bluntly, my eyes widened in shock, and I fell backwards onto the floor. I blacked out and I could hear the Tenth's panicked voice. My last thoughts were 'I'm sorry Tenth for making you worry. It is too big of a shock for me after all in the end.'
