Ryu- Okay, here is a real update.

White Dragon- What do you mean?

Ryu- The last update was more of a filler.

White Dragon- Then couldn't you have told them that?

Ryu- I forgot.

-Shiorix3 – Yes, but is it real, or is it false. (Black Dragon- Grr. You just gave a spoiler. Ryu- Uh.)

yuki-nekolin – Mochi isn't the only th- (Black Dragon- Grr. Ryu- Eep)

HikariNoTenshi-San – Don't worry, more information will be provided. It's just for the plot, and about it being longer, well I'll try.

Banifi – Thanks, but don't worry, something special will happen.

Family

As it was, Saturday came quickly again. Though, it wasn't going to be like an other Saturday. This time, Tsuna was walking outside quite early in the morning.

The reason, he had to shop. (And Reborn had threatened him that if he didn't do it, pain was promised) So as Tsuna walked along, his sensitive wolf ears picked up yelling.

"You big meanies!" One voice said. "Lambo stop. They too big." A feminine voice said. "I can too take them!" The voice Tsuna assumed to be the Lambo person. After, they was the sound of punching.

Tsuna wanted to ignore the fight that was happening, but he just couldn't turn away, so Tsuna walked toward that direction.

When he got there, he saw two large teenagers with what looked like dog ears. Then he saw two, no three children. One was hiding behind some trash cans, and it looked like he had the attributes of a cat. (1)

The other two were a boy and a girl. The girl looked to have the attributes of a lizard, and the boy the attributes of a cow, or was it bull.(2)

What surprised Tsuna the most was that the one behind the trash cans was older that the other two.

'Shouldn't it be the other way around!' Tsuna yelled in his mind. Suddenly, Tsuna could smell something awful. Tsuna looked around and saw that it came from the girl.

'She must be one of those lizards that defends itself with smell.' Tsuna thought. (3)

"Arg, that smell is horrible. Brother, make her stop!" The bully said. So the other made to hit her.

Suddenly, Tsuna had the sudden urge to attack to defend the children, so much to the surprise of the attackers, and to the surprise of Tsuna himself, Tsuna lunged and changed mid lunge. This time, it seemed like Tsuna could get his larger form again.

Tsuna sank his fangs into the offender's arm. The offender cried in pain. Tsuna let go and the two bullies ran off, yelling rabid wolf.

Feeling satisfied that he drove off the bullies, Tsuna changed back, only to get tackled by the two children.

You save us." The girl said. "Hmph. I could have handled it myself." The boy said. "It's fine. Anyone would want to protect the children." Tsuna said, but then something caught his attention.

It was a floating garbage can. "Eh?" Tsuna said.

"Futa, why are you doing that now?!" The bull boy yelled to the cat boy. "Leave him alone." The girl said. Soon, when the cat boy had come out of his trance, all the things that were floating fell, much to Tsuna's shock as he had to dodge.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, ranked number one to help others. Ranked number one to put others before him." The cat boy said, then he smiled.

"Huh?" Tsuna said. "He has something called PSP." The bull boy said. "No, it ESP." The girl said. "You're such a very nice person." The cat boy said.

"Thanks, but what are you all doing alone?" Tsuna said. "We're here to find our place." The cat boy said. "Well, why don't you come with me, it's dangerous to be alone at such a young age." Tsuna said.

"Thanks you. Oh, we haven't given you our names yet. My name is Futa." Futa said. "I'm Lambo, but you can call me the great Lambo." He said. "Me I-pin." She said as she bowed.

"Well, I'm Sawada Tsunayoshi, but you can call me Tsuna." Tsuna said as he started walking with the three.

Soon, they arrived at Tsuna's house.

"Oh, who are these three?" Nana said. "This are kids I found alone." Tsuna said. "Oh, how horrible. You three must be hungry. What should I make you three?" Nana said. "Anything is fine." Futa said. "Steamed buns." I-pin said. "Candy!" Lambo said. So the four went into the kitchen.

"Well, at least you had a reason to come back." Reborn suddenly said. "Gah! Reborn!" Tsuna said. "By the way, you have some stalkers outside." Reborn said as if he didn't say anything bad.

"Stalkers!" Tsuna said as he ran to the door and opened it. At first, he saw nothing, but then he heard shouting.

"Gah. Nappo, let me go. I will have nothing to do with whatever you're planning."

"But I thought you were interested in him?"

"I am, but I don't want to be a stalker!"

"Oh, fine. Then met him face to face."

Suddenly, Tsuna could hear a whooshing noise, then a thud. Tsuna turned an saw Dragon. It looked like she was just thrown, judging by the argument, she probably was.

"If that's how you want to play, I'll just have to activate those pepper bombs in your jacket." White Dragon said as she snapped her fingers. Then there was a poof noise, then coughing and sneezing.

Finally, Dragon noticed Tsuna. "Oh, uh, hi Tsuna." White Dragon said. "What are you doing here?" Tsuna said, even though he knew why.

"I just wanted to see you, that's all." White Dragon said. "Oh, then, you can come in if you'd like." Tsuna said. "Oh, if it's not too much trouble." Black Dragon said as she walked into the house.

Tsuna twitched at the sudden change but did not say anything.

Inside, it seemed like I-pin, Futa, and Lambo had finished eating because they were playing. "Hm, your pack seems to have grown." Black Dragon said.

"Huh, oh. Yeah, I found them today, and I'd thought I should help them." Tsuna said. Then he heard Dragon mumble something.

"It must be nice to have a family and pack."

"Eh, don't you have one?" Tsuna said. Surprised at being heard, Dragon jumped. "Oh, something happened a while ago." White Dragon said. Tsuna was about to say something, but the pained look on Dragon's face stopped him.

Normally, this might not have affected him, but the pained look was happening when Dragon was in her white personality.

The cheery personality now seemed dampened, but before he could said anything, Dragon changed the subject.

"So, where's your mate?" Black Dragon said with her expressionless face. "Oh, um. I don't have one, yet." Tsuna said.

"Hm, but you should. Or else your pack won't be too strong or stable." Black Dragon said. "Uh, I'll find one soon." Tsuna said.

"Is Hibari-san a candidate?" Black Dragon said. "Eh!?" Tsuna said. "That handkerchief, he gave it to you right?" Black Dragon said. "Um, yeah, but what has that got to do with anything?" Tsuna said.

"When a animal person gives you something as important as a mark, it means they have a liking to you." Black Dragon said.

"Oh, this is the first time I've heard about you receiving affection. Normally, you're known as no good-Tsuna." Reborn said.

"Gah, it was just an act of kindness. Nothing more." Tsuna said. "Denial is the first stage of love." White Dragon said. It seemed she got over what she was thinking about.

"But, but he's a guy!" Tsuna said. "Tsuna, come here." White Dragon said. Tsuna obeyed with hesitation. Dragon then started to stare at him, it was then Tsuna noticed that Dragon's red eye was gone and both her eyes were replaced by serpent looking eyes.

Then, what seemed like an eternity, Dragon broke her gaze by blinking and Dragon's eye's turned into wolf eye's followed by her gaining wolf ears and tail.

"A ha. You have the traits of a female wolf." White Dragon said. "Eh!" Tsuna said. "Just cause you're a guy doesn't mean your wolf side is a guy as well." White Dragon said.

"But, but, how is that possible." Tsuna said. "Hey, if people becoming half animal is possible, then being a boy and girl is also possible." Reborn said.

"This is horrible!" Tsuna said. "No it's not. At least you don't have to worry about children." White Dragon said.

"Nooo!" Tsuna shouted.

-TBC-

1. I hear that cats have a sixth sense.

2. Cow is the name for females, bull is a name for males. Just wanted to be correct.

3. I forget the name of the lizard, but hopefully it fits.

Ryu- Well, I hoped you liked this chapter.

White Dragon- (In a corner sulking)

Ryu- What's wrong?

White Dragon- You made me remember something bad.

Ryu- Er, it's part of the story line. Here, have a mochi.

White Dragon- (Growl. Blows white fire out of her mouth.)

Ryu- (Watches as mochi turns to ash.) Oh, er. Um, (Looks to audience) Did any one see my pun in the story?
