AUTHORS NOTE: This story makes occasional reference to event's in my other fanfic "Graduation"

The sun shone brightly over the lawns of the Vongola Residence in Italy, the weather was pleasant and not a cloud in sight.

"This sucks."

Tsuna was one extremely fed-up Vongola decimo this particular morning. Takeshi and Gokudera tried their best to cheer him up.

"Aww, c'mon Tsuna! It could have been worse..." Laughed Takeshi, as he lounged on the couch in Tsuna's personal study.

"Yeah, it's lucky Bianci didn't have to cut it all off!" Gokudera added quickly, adamant that he wouldn't be out done by Takeshi in comforting Tsuna for his loss. But this seemed to push Tsuna to his limit, as he began raging, "Lucky? How is getting half my hair nearly burnt off lucky? If Reborn hadn't (literally) set my hair on fire not of this would have happened!" Takeshi and Gokudera shot each other exasperated looks. Tsuna did have a fair point.

"Don't worry 10th! I can't even tell you got a haircut-"

Ryohei burst into the room, cutting off Gokudera's words. "GOOD MORNING SAWADA!"

He walked in mopping his brow with a towel, still wearing his gym clothes, but stopped dead in his tracks as his eyes fell upon Tsuna. After a moments ogling, Ryohei seemed to recover his voice. Raising a shaky finger, he pointed at Tsuna, enquiring,

"Where'd Sawada's hair go?"

Indeed, the young mafia boss's hair was A LOT shorter than usual. Not as short as Takeshi or Ryohei's, to be fair, but none the less, short for Tsuna's standards.

"GOKUDERA YOU LIAR!" Tsuna exclaimed as he layed his head on his desk and covered his hair with his arms, "my haircut is obvious after all..." he added depressingly. Deciding not to lie to the 10th for a second time, Gokudera rounded on Ryohei,

"YOU TACTLESS IDIOT!" Gokudera pulled out his dynamite, "I'M GONNA BLOW YOU UP, GRASS HEAD!"

"Gokudera, calm down!"

"NO. F*CK OFF YOU BASEBALL BASTARD OR ILL BLOW YOU UP TOO-"

The 3 guardians squabbling was interrupted by a quiet sentence from Tsuna,

"I want to go home."

There was silence. Niether knew how to respond to such an unexpected statement. Tsuna continued, in the same quiet, reflective tone, "It's been over 3 years since i went back to Japan, you know..." He trailed off, so Takeshi took the opportunity to try lighten the mood,

"But you know Reborn say's you can't go back until-" BANG! Tsuna stood up form his chair, bringing his fists down hard on the desk. Takeshi immediately shut his mouth.

"I don't care anymore!" Yelled Tsuna, "the only reason i came here was to become a better mafia boss and... and..." He struggled to finish the sentence, "it hasn't..." None of the others responded to their friends dejected words. "I've missed Haru, and Kyoko and everyone so much..."

Gokudera put away his bombs and began walking back to Tsuna's side, Takeshi seemed lost in his own memories of home. Ryohei, however, had his brow furrowed in concentration... something about Tsuna's words made him feel like he'd forgotten something very important...

"Kyoko... Kyoko..." He thought to himself. It was something to do with his sister...

"AHA!" He exclaimed loudly causing the others to turn to look at him, "I just remembered! (to the extreme)... Kyoko said she was coming to visit Italy after her uni exams!"

The memory of Kyoko as they sat on the roof top after their graduation popped into Tsuna's memory, pulling him out of his depressed state.

"Kyoko-chan? Visiting?" Tsuna couldn't believe his ears.

"TO THE EXTREME!" Ryohei replied, unnecessarily loudly. Tsuna lent over his desk eagerly, desperate for more news about Kyoko-chan, who he hadn't seen since their graduation 3 years ago.

"Really? How soon?" As he asked this, Tsuna prayed for the day to come as soon as possible.

"Uh... she said she'd arrive on the 7th of April." Ryohei nodded wisely.

"Awesome..." thought Tsuna, "that's really soon... hold up. Isn't that-"

Realising the same thing as Tsuna, Gokudera gave Ryohei a look of scepticism, before saying,

"Idiot grass head. Today's the 7th of April."

"Huh? You don't say?"

Silence.

They stared at Ryohei, waiting for him to realise his mistake with the dates. When the silence didn't end, it became apparent that Ryohei was serious.

"WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL US SOONER?" Exploded Gokudera, grabbing Ryohei by the front of his shirt and shaking him.

"Oops... I must have forgot..." Ryohei ruffled his hair dopily, Takeshi laughed, Gokudera resisted the urge to make the stupid grass head eat dynamite and Tsuna began to panic.

"This is bad!"

Everyone turned their attention from Ryohei to Tsuna as he continued, "I've wanted to see Kyoko for so long now... but not looking like this, with such a ridiculous hair cut!"

Gokudera immediately tried to assuage Tsuna's hair qualms, putting on the best smile he could. "As I keep saying 10th! I think you hair cut is wonderful!"

"Extreme liar." Ryohei murmered from behind Gokudera, whose mouth twitched menacingly.

"YOU DID IT AGAIN!"

"If you keep lying to Sawada, your pants will catch on fire Gokudera..."

"Calm down, Gokudera! Sasagawa didn't realise-"

"STAY OUT OF THIS BASEBALL IDIOT!"

Oblivious to his family's bickering, Tsuna held his throbbing head in his hands. "This is all Reborn's fault..." He said to no one in particular.

Just then, a voice came from somewhere within the room.

"I'll fix it then..."

Everyone froze, as one of the bookshelves in Tsuna's lavish study swivelled around to reveal a toddler; Reborn.

"Reborn! Use the door for once dammit!" Yelled Tsuna as his wall returned to usual.

Ignoring Tsuna's demand, Reborn continued, "So Tsuna, do you want me to fix your hair or not?" Tsuna eyed Reborn suspiciously,

"How? Can you make my hair magically grow longer or something?"

Reborn shrugged nonchalantly, "If you want." Tsuna sighed in response,

"I do but..."

"Then..." Leon transformed into Reborns pistol, "die."

Ryohei, Gokudera and Takeshi watched in horror as Reborn shot Tsuna in the forehead. Their boss slumped to the ground motionless. They rushed to his aid. Reborn didn't move, he merely watched.

Skidding to his knees (on Tsuna's right. Lol) Gokudera sat Tsuna up in his arms, and realising he was unconscious, turned to Reborn, livid.

"REBORN! WHAY THE HELL DID YOU SHOOT THE 10TH?"

"He wanted his hair to grow."

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE EFFING KIDDING ME-"

"But it's what Tsuna wanted."

Takeshi whistled as he to knelt beside Tsuna, admiring his suddenly long hair. "Wow... it really is long... but did you have to kill him..."

"No," interjected Gokudera, his hand over Tsuna's heart, "I can still feel his heart beating..."

Pause.

Suddenly Gokudera became aware that he could feel something else as well.

"Eh?" Gokudera blushed, unexpectedly pushing Tsuna away and moving backwards from his beloved Juudaime. Yamamoto and Sasagawa's jaws dropped. They couldn't believe they just witnessed Gokudera, the guardian who incessantly sought the spot of right hand man, had suddenly pushed his unconscious mafia boss away. Shaking, Gokudera looked at his hand, twitching.

"The 10th has..."

Comming to his senses, Gokudera grabbed his bombs for the second time that morning. "REBORN! WHY THE HELL DOES 10TH HAVE-"

"Tsuna, Tsuna!"

Gokudera turned around to see Takeshi now cradling their beloved boss.

"H-HEY! Whyare YOU holding him!"

"Uhh, maybe because you just threw him away."

"S-SHUT UP! Give 10th back!"

While Gokudera and Takeshi bickered over Tsuna, he bagan to regain consciousness.

"Uggghhh... my head."

"Tsuna!"

"Your awake Sawada!"

"What happened...?" Questioned Tsuna groggily as Takeshi helped him to his feet.

"Reborn shot you cause you wanted your hair to grow."

"Oh yeah..." Tsuna patted the back of his head. Long brown locks cascaded down his back. "Well, it certainly has grown..."

"Ah, Judaime..." Gokudera began timidly. Without looking at Tsuna, he pointed at him, "your hair isn't the only thing that's grown..."

"Waahh..." Everyone followed Gokudera's finger. He was pointing at Tsuna's chest.

(tumble weed. Lol)

"SH*TT! WHY DO I HAVE- THESE?"

"Because all girls have them Tsuna." Reborn was far calmer than Tsuna.

"REBORN!"

"... oh, by the way, as a minor side affect to the hair growth, the target may experience gender reversal."

"HOW IS GENDER REVERSAL A 'MINOR SIDE AFFECT'?"

Embarrassedly, Tsuna crossed his arms across his (well, technically they're not his) breasts, his eyes glazed over with tears.

"I wanted my hair to grow... but not if it means being a girl!" He sobbed. Tsuna's fretting face was even cuter now he was a girl.

Meanwhile, his three friends were repeating those last words in their head,

"a girl... a-"

Reborn lowered his hat over his eyes, "Stupid Tsuna, there can be no gain without sacrifice."

"Even so, why did the sacrifice have to be my man hood? And..." Tsuna wiped his eyes, "now I absolutely cannot see Kyoko... not looking like this!"

This time, Reborn didn't reply, so Gokudera gave another attempt at consoling Tsuna.

"If it makes you feel any better 10th..." Gokudera smiled blissfully, giving Tsuna a thumbs up, "I think you look very cute."

This time Ryohei nodded. Tsuna wished he had called Gokudera a liar again. "Uhh, thanks..." all the while thinking to himself, "that makes me feel disturbed rather than better...".

Reborn cleared his throat. "So... now you've gotten yourself into this predicament..." He said slowly.

"Actually, YOU got me into this..." Thought Tsuna darkly.

"How will you get out?"

"By making you change me back!"

"I can't."

Awkward silence.

"You... can't?"

"Nope."

Silently, Takeshi, Gokudera and Ryohei were thanking lady luck.

Small footsteps began approaching from a distance.

"THE WONDERFUL LAMBO-SAMA IS HERE!" Lambo burst through the door loudly, closely followed by Ipin. "TSUNAAAAA! PLAY WITH US!"

Tsuna shook his head at Lambo, apologising, "Sorry Lambo, not today."

A crease appeared between Lambo's eyebrows as he stared at Tsuna. Everyone could tell he was about to start crying... but then he surprised them all.

He pointed at Tsuna,

"Who're you?"

Takeshi laughed, Ryohei frowned, Gokudera started raging and Tsuna's mouth twitched as he tried to smile, but they all thought the same thing; "that stupid cow doesn't recognise his own boss..."

"I got hit with a gender reversal bullet... so now I'm a girl..." Lambo couldn't contain his laughter, neither could Ipin.

"HAHAHA TSUNA HAS MANBOOBS!" Proclaimed Lambo merrily as he and Ipin proceeded to run in circles around a highly irritated Tsuna.

Suddenly Lambo stopped in front of Tsuna, his hands raised before his chest, "so, can i touch them?"

"NO!"

"If Lambo-sama was a girl, Lambo-sama would be making the most of it." He said, nodding wisely.

"And how exactly should i go about making the most of my situation then?" Tsuna growled.

To everyone's surprise, Ipin made a suggestion. Shyly, she suggested, "umm... well, since Tsuna's a girl, a good start would be wearing the proper attire..."

"EH?" All of the sudden, Tsuna became very worried.

Reborn nodded in agreement, "It's true that it would reduce embarrassment if you dressed up so others couldn't recognise you..."

The situation was getting more ridiculous by the second. "Are you suggesting that I wear girls clothes? Reduce embarrassment my arse!" Tsuna stood over Reborn angrily, "What exactly do you suggest i wear?"

Again Reborn shrugged his shoulders. "What ever suits."

For a moment, each pondered what would 'suit' Tsuna.

"like... a maid costume!" Said Gokudera

"or a swimsuit!" Said Takeshi

"nahhh, sailor style school uniform!" Said Ryohei.

"HOW ARE ANY OF THOSE PROPER ATTIRE?" Demanded Tsuna. His fists balled up as he tried to contain his frustration. He could feel dying will mode creeping up on him.

"uh-uh Tsuna. I wouldn't go into dying will mode if i was you..." Warned Reborn. Tsuna ignored him, so Reborn elaborated, "When you enter dying will mode, everything burns off except your boxers..."

Reborn had a point.

Tsuna immediately calmed down. He slumped into the couch, rubbing his temples. "So what should I do, Reborn?"

Reborn adjusted his hat, so it cast a shadow over his eyes. (kwow. Mysterious lol)"The only thing you can do when the family is facing a crisis..."

(overtly dramaticised silence)

Takeshi gasped, "you couldn't mean..."

Tsuna's eyes widened.

Reborn nodded,

"Indeed, as Vongola Decimo, you must assemble your guardians!"

AUTHORS NOTE:

Lol. So yeah, basically this story is based around Tsuna becoming a girl.

I started turning this into a manga but recently I've been drowning in major work stuff so it's not finished

So should I really be writing a fan fiction if I still have shit loads to do for my major work... probably not. Hope you's likey,
