Disclaimer: I own nothing, but damn would it be fun if I did. . .

The Vongola Christmas party was in full swing. Laughing, drinking, talking, arguing. . . It was quite lively despite the fact that a few people (i.e. Yamamoto, Haru, Kyoko, and Ryohei) were missing. Now, to describe the basic layout of the room:

Gokudera was fangi-I mean, talking to Tsuna by the refreshments table

Hibari was brooding in a corner with Hibird on his shoulder.

Mukuro was getting some sweets from the aforementioned refreshments table with Chrome, occasionally stirring up trouble.

Fuuta was talking to Bianchi as they sipped on a glass of sparkling grape juice.

Lambo was snoring away in a corner. Every once in a while the cow-child could be heard imploring the Furby graps not to nom on his toes.

Misa was talking to Naomi (who was occasionally sneaking glances at Hibird) as she balanced Reborn on her head. That baby was always making someone into an ass-cushion.

Said baby had on his usual adorable smirk as he checked his watch. Yep, it was about time.

"Everyone, it's time to exchange gifts," he announced to the room.

Well, that was all well and good except no one knew who to give their gifts to. Reborn decided that they would do a secret santa thing this year, but he had everyone buy their gifts before picking a name. Something about it being good training for their instincts. . .

He jumped down and began walking around the room, holding his hat out to everyone, "The person's name you pick from the hat is whose gift you'll get."

Everyone did as they were bid and proceeded to the presents table to pick up their gift. After the bustle and confusion was over (no one getting bit to death by Hibari, thankfully, though Tsuna did pick up a few paper cuts), Reborn had them all sit in a circle as they opened their presents. Everyone had received pretty safe presents (scarfs, gloves, gift cards, etc.).

Everyone, that is, but Hibari and Misa.

"Herbivore, I'll bite you to death," the Namimori prefect growled as he chased a chuckling pineapple out of the house. It'd been bad enough that he'd drawn his name, but pineapple print thongs? Who in their right mind would give that as a gift at this kind of secret santa party? Then again, no one had accused the illusionist of being in his right mind.

"Drugs?" Misa blinked down at the two white pills she held in her hand. "I know you're a mafioso, Reborn, but don't you think this is taking it a bit too far?" He merely tipped down his fedora, now safely back on his head, in reply.

"Now that everyone has opened their gifts, it's time for the games."

Everyone's minds drifted back to the onyx-eyed mafioso's previous "games". Tsuna visibly paled and looked on the verge of passing out.

"We'll be playing Seven Minutes in Heaven. The name you just drew is who you'll be going in the closet with. Chrome and I are excluded from the game on account of us not drawing a name."

Lies. Chrome had drawn Lambo's name, but as long as Reborn wasn't going to bring it up, neither was she.

"Hie! But, I drew Gokudera's name!"

"Juudaime, this way no one will be violating you!"

"If you argue, Dame-Tsuna, I'll make you do it and tell Kyoko."

Tsuna was looking a little queasy at the prospect of Kyoko finding out. You have bigger fish to fry, little Tuna. . .Like, say, your loyal fanboy-er, guarddog?

"I drew Bianchi-nee's name." Fuuta was smiling as usual. Wait, was that a hint of pervertedness. . .? Nah, couldn't be! After all, this is Fuuta de la Stella we're talking about here. It's not like being possessed by Mukuro had any effect on his mental state.

"I drew Reborn's name. Who did you draw, Naomi?" Misa looked over at her friend's slip of paper.

"I got Hibari." she was occupied with petting Hibird. The yellow canary had decided he'd rather stay cuddled up in Naomi's black hair than watch his master beat the juice out of the pineapple.

"Looks like we don't have to participate. YES!" Misa grinned and did a little fist pump as Naomi giggled at her.

That's when she felt it. Reborn was smirking. The golden-browned haired girl slowly turned around, her glasses glinting in the light, to stare at the baby.

He was indeed smirking.

With his fedora tipped down.

Oh dear.

"I thought something like this might happen, so I planned ahead."

"Of course, you did." Misa thought bitterly. Damn intelligent child hitman. . .

"Hibird and Leon will be taking the place of their humans."

Misa gave him a "wtf" look. "That's a little risqué - even for you, Reborn."

He continued smirking. "Those pills I gave you allow any animal to become human for an hour."

Misa looked at the pills still in her hand, then to Leon. Then she looked to Naomi and Hibird. Misa comtemplated whether her desire to see human (and undoubtedly sexy) versions of the animals outweighed her sense that this was morally wrong.

"Let's do this shit."

Apparently it did. Reborn took one of the pills and gave it to Leon, who happily ate it. Misa handed the other to Naomi.

"This isn't going to kill him is it?" she looked worried.

"Of course not!" Misa reassured her friend. She actually had no idea, but she sure as hell wasn't going to say that.

The milk chocolate skinned girl hesitantly handed the pill to Hibird who was happy to take anything to girl offered to him. Both animals were put in the middle of the small circle as everyone watched them.

And, watched them.

. . .and watched them.

Chrome blinked. Wasn't something supposed to be happening?

No sooner had the purple haired girl thought that than the animals were engulfed in a cloud of pink smoke.

Tsuna blanched upon seeing it. Why was it always pink?

Author's Note: The beginning of a Christmas present for Village-Hidden-In-The-Music~! :D I was gonna finish it tonight, but I'm tired. -.- The crack is lacking from this. . .

In case you're wondering, I'll be closing the pole for Guilty Pleasures on the 27th. Then, I'll write the new chapter(s) for that. As for If Only I Could. . .Well, if only I could consolidate my thoughts as to how that should go.

Oh yeah, FuutaxBianchi is my favorite pairing (don't ask why), and lately RebornxHibari has become my second favorite. Those are completely irrelevant facts, but meh *shrug* And, why don't they have Leon as a character if they have Hibird? TT_TT
