Box Weapons Are Not Toys

It was a bright an sunny day at the Vongola mansion. The birds were singing, everyone was working, fights between the Vongola Guardians were few, and the children were playing happily in one of the many gardens. Tsunayoshi Sawada, the tenth boss of the Vongola mafia family, breathed a sigh of relief as he finished his paperwork for the day. It was just after lunch time, and with nothing more pressing to do that meant he could spend time with his children, five year old Amami Sawada, and three year old Giotto Sawada.

Leaving his office Tsuna froze for a moment at the sound of an explosion from outside before he turned around and walked back to his phone quickly. He wanted to bolt for the place where the sound had come from, he had his gloves, and pills, and he hardly took off his ring any more, but knew better by now. Years, and years of being a mafia boss taught him that running head first into an explosion was a bad idea. The security staff must have been expecting his call because the phone was answered right away, and they informed Tsuna of where the explosion had come fun.

It was the garden that the children were playing in.

With a curt thanks Tsuna hung up the phone and bolted from his room. What if someone was attacking? Were the kids alright? Were they still there? How did someone even get in? Shouldn't there be people watching them? They weren't hurt were they?

Being a father was certainly nerve wrecking for Tsuna. Perhaps more so then being a mafia boss was.

Skidding to a stop at the proper door, he really had no idea how he got there so fast, Tsuna threw the door open vaguely aware of his family also there looking worried and crossed the porch to get to the garden only to see...

Uri attacking Mukurou? Tsuna blinked in confusion.

"Gao!" "Pappa!" Tsuna blinked again as he saw Natsu and Amami bound up to him for attention. Natsu leapt up onto his shoulder, and Amami attached her self to him with a hug.

"What the hell?" Gokudera exclaimed, Tsuna was glad he wasn't the only one confused, before striding over to his own box weapon to get the cat to stop attacking the owl. Yamamoto laughed with relief. They had really expected the worse while on the way.

"Ami, where's your brother?" Tsuna asked slowly.

"Over there." The girl replied pointing over to the Yamamoto siblings, sure enough there was little Giotto, and three year old Fai, playing with Kojirou with five year old Emiko, while ten year old Kenji eyed the commotion with Uri and Mukurou suspiciously. Near by was five year old Daichi and Ryohei's Kangaryuu were also playing. Thankfully Lambo's Gyuudon was nowhere to be seen.

Tsuna nodded slowly still trying to figure out what was going on exactly. "So the explosion..." He said.

Looking over to Gokudera he saw his five year old son Alex laughing as the silver haired storm was attacked by his box weapon, meanwhile ten year old Kiriko hugged onto Mukurou, affectionately nicknamed Mukufu by the kids, as she watched the storm cat with interest.

"Well Mukufu, and Roll-chan got into a fight. See Roll-chan was playin with Kiri-chan 'n Masaru, 'n so Mukufu got jealous and started attacking Roll-chan, 'n Uri just doesn't like Mukufu in general and had been wanting to fight all day so she decided to join, 'n then there was the boom, and Roll-chan got knocked out so it just left Uri 'n Mukufu." The girl explained as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Looking over to ten year old Masaru who was sitting next to Roll looking worried he certainly saw that Hibari's Roll was swirly eyed.

"I see, and why is everyone out?" Tsuna asked his daughter.

"Because we were bored and wanted to play! Isn't that right Nat-chan?" The girl chirped looking up at the sky lion on Tsuna shoulder for her last question.

"Gao!" Tsuna blinked as Natsu seemed to agree with his daughter, "But how...?" He asked. How did the kids find their box weapons? More importantly how did they open the box weapons? So far the only one who had showed signs of being able to use their flame was Kiriko...

Amami blinked up at him, "Daddy and the others left them on the table before they went to work. Kiri-chan showed us how to open them because her daddy showed her how before."

Tsuna sighed. At least they hadn't been in any danger. He was sure the box animals would have acted to protect the kids if anyone had attacked them... Now came the problem. Tsuna was very proud of his five year old daughter for finding her resolution to light her flame, but he couldn't just left to go opening Natsu's box when ever she was bored!

Getting Amami to release him Tsuna knelt down to be on the same level as his daughter. Natsu moved form his shoulder to the top of her head, quite a cute, and comical sight. Tsuna struggled to keep a straight face and an even voice as he spoke.

"Ami-chan, Natsu's not a toy. I'm glad that you learned how to let him out on your own, but you can't do it unless there's trouble." He said seriously.

Amami looked up at him with her instant kill big watery blue eyes, "I know, Natsu is daddy's special pet..." She said making Tsuna sweat drop. That wasn't exactly right, but close enough for a five year old. "But really daddy you could let him out more often to play! I'll take care of him if you do, because it's gotta be really, really lonely in that box he lives in..." She said so bluntly that Tsuna nearly fell over.

And so play days with the box weapons were arranged regularly due to many, many instant kill stares from their kids. Their wives didn't help at all either. When this was brought up to Kyoko, Haru, and I-pin they agreed with each other that it would defiantly keep he kids safer in any of those just incase situations.

A/N :: So here's the first installment in my new next gen series. Due to the fact that I've hit a total and utter road block with the other two they're either on hiatus. How ever chapters for this one have come to me much more easily then Our Family or the varia series has. This is pretty much just a series of one shots. Hopefully I'll be doing Varia, Vongola, and Dino. If you have any cannon suggestions feel free to suggest away! Just please make sure they're alive after the future arc, and I may or may not do that Arcobaleno. I'm not familiar with writing for them yet...

The chapters/one shots don't always have something to do with the previous chapter/shot, and they're not all nessicarrily in order time line wise, but the ages of the children will always be mentioned in the story somewhere. Yes I have a few spific pairings in this, and yes they're all straight couples. I won't mention them here, because they'll all be revealed eventually. Please don't complain to me about not liking straight pairings, I'm not a good Yaoi writer.

Also this is set at least twenty years into the future from the series. So Tsuna will always be at least thirty something. I doubt I'll ever give the exact ages of Tsuna and friends, but like I mentioned earlier I'll always mention the child's age. So anyways I hope you all enjoyed this, and look forwards to more to come!

Finally I apologize if I ever seem to write out of character for someone. Seeing as I write best for Tsuna and the girls Haru, Kyoko, and maybe even CHrome it's hard for me to nail some of the personalities for the guys. If they seem ooc please just let me know, and I'll try to fix it as best as I can.

Please review, and read on, with your dying will! Flames will still be used to roast marshmallows with Byakuran.
