The "Little" Problem

"GYHAHAHA!" Annalisa, Ash, Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Tsuna all turned toward that familiar and obnoxious laugh. They were in the class hallways when they all heard that unique laugh and voice. "Who are you? I am Lambo! Who am I? You are Lambo!" Everyone flinched at this memorable song. "TA-DA! The GREAT Lambo is here! GYHAHA!"

Before everyone could even turn around, Gokudera and Ash whipped around and shouted in unison, "Shut up, stupid cow!"

"You can't tell Lambo what to do!" said Lambo as he turned and smacked his butt.

"Why you!" started Gokudera, but Annalisa stopped him.

"Hayato! He is five! Now, what are you doing here?" She asked Lambo crouching down to his level.

"Lambo is here because he is smart like a middle schooler," said Lambo picking his nose.

"There's a reason we call you STUPID cow," answered Gokudera. Ash was nodding her head in agreement. Annalisa was about to protest.

"WHAT?!" screamed Lambo getting in Gokudera's face.

"Get away from me," said Gokudera as he punched Lambo out of his face. While still in midair Lambo started to cry and pull out his 10 year bazooka. Unfortunately, he was sent flying towards Ash.

"Ugh, don't send him towards me!" she screamed and kicked him back. When she did that though, Lambo let go of the bazooka. It went straight into the wall above Ash's head, cracked, then fell on top of her. Just as it fell on her head, her eyes widened in dread. "Poof" Ash was surrounded in a puff of pink smoke. When the smoke cleared it left a pile of weapons. The pile was huge, going up to Yamamoto's waist. It had all sorts of weapons. Every sort of sword, knife, gun, bullets, and metal weapons that you could think of.

Everyone stared wide eyed and surprised, everyone but Annalisa that is. "Um, what happened to Ash?" asked Tsuna.

"I'm right here loser," said Ash's voice as her head popped up from underneath the pile of weapons. She was tiny! She had been turned into a baby by the ten year bazooka.

"What's with all those weapons and were did they come from?" Tsuna asked.

"Um, I don't know. They just appeared," said Ash causally.

"Like Gokudera, Ash hides all sorts of weapons on her body. Since she shrunk in size, her body couldn't hide all the weapons anymore," explained Annalisa.

"Annalisa! I had them going! I almost kept it a secret," complained Ash.

"We have more important things to discuss," said Annalisa. Tsuna nodded in consent.

"After all," thought Tsuna, "she turned into a BABY!"

"YOU ARE SO CUTE!" Yelled Annalisa. She had stars in her eyes.

"HUH!? THAT'S WHAT YOU CONSIDER IMPORTANT?!" yelled Tsuna in reply.

"What? Of course," said Annalisa looking confused.

"Oh, that's right! Annalisa loves kids," thought Tsuna.

Annalisa picked up Ash, who had been trying to gather all her weapons to herself again, and cuddled her saying, "Such a good girl!" she rocked her back and forth in her arms.

"Senpai! I still have the mind of my older self," whined Ash.

"She really is adorable!" commented Yamamoto. "I know! Let's play baseball!" He said sounding excited.

"NO WAY!" yelled Annalisa as she hid Ash from him. As they got into an argument about playing baseball, Gokudera come and picked Ash out of Annalisa's arms. He picked her up by her foot though and held her far from his body, upside down!

"Are you really Ash?" he questioned.

"What do you think Stupidera? Now, be a good little boy and put me down!" she said.

"Hmph, stupid women," he said, but then his hand slipped and he dropped her. "Oops," he said.

"AH!" Tsuna dove, hit his head, and Ash landed on his back with a hard thud.

"Good job Tsuna! Don't let my cute little baby fall!" said Annalisa. Another argument broke out about what they should do with baby Ash, when suddenly a hand reached down and grabbed Ash by the back of her shirt.

Conversation stopped as all eyes were on the person who held the baby. "LET ME GO!" yelled Ash as she turned to face Hibari.

"This thing is causing too much of an uproar," said Hibari. The others looked around to see that he was right. All the other students in the hallways had stopped to stare at the group. "I'm confiscation this," he said as he walked away still holding Ash by the back of her shirt.

"NO! My cute, precious, little baby!" yelled Annalisa after him. She tried to chase after him, but Gokudera and Yamamoto both stopped her. They shook their heads in unison. Annalisa just looked devastated, "B-but the effects might wear off by the end of school!" she cried.

Tsuna was in a state of disbelief, "Again, that was what she was talking about?!"

Ash at the Disciplinary Committee

Ash stared dumbfounded at Hibari's attempt at a "kid friendly" pallet. Instead of a blanket laid neatly on the floor with toys on top, Hibari had used his jacket and office supply containers. "You know," she said. "I still have my usual mind." Hibari ignored her. Since classes had started again by now, it was only those to in the office. Ash sighed. She walked over and sat down on the jacket. She picked up a cube and examined it at eye level. She built a few complex structures: Tokyo Tower, Great Wall of China, the Pyramids, Sphinx, Big Ben, the Colosseum, and Museum of Natural History. Before long she grew tired of building. She tried countless times to start a conversation with Hibari. It never worked. Finally she was on her last nerve, "hey, Hey, HEY!" She said getting progressively louder with each one as well as throwing a block at him each time. Hibari still ignored her. When she ran out of blocks, she went to him and started to climb up him. It went smoothly, until she reached his shoulders and got tired. She took a breather, leaning on his face. Hibari was having trouble ignoring her, but wouldn't admit it. She took a deep breath then climbed the rest of the way to reach the top of his head. "YEAH!" she yelled raising both her fists up in a victory pose. Apparently she had forgotten all about her initial mission of getting his attention. Soon she tired out and fell asleep on his head. Hibari twitched and grabbed her off of his head. He dropped her on the couch in the room. Just then Kusakabe came in. Class was out and he had decided to check in on the chairman. He spotted Ash and was just about to ask about her when Hibari said, "Kusakabe, go get a blanket."

Kusakabe smiled understandingly, "Yes, chairman." he went and got the blanket. After he dropped it off on the chairman's desk he asked, "Anything else? Chairman?"

"No," answered Hibari.

Kusakabe bowed, "Then excuse me." As he left, he peeked inside the office through a crack in the door at Hibari covering Ash with the blanket. He walked down the hallway smiling.

After School

"My baby! We have to go get my baby!" Wailed Annalisa.

"Now now," said Yamamoto trying to soothe her.

"Class is over now. So, we can go get her. Calm down," Said Gokudera in a rude well duh tone.

"Gokudera!" said Tsuna. They were all walking together to go get Ash back.

They walked into the empty disciplinary office. Hibari had to attend some business and had just left the room. "Hm...," thought Annalisa. "The door was oddly cracked. Usually it is completely shut. And where is Hibari?" but her thoughts were soon interrupted. There on the couch lay a sleep Ash. "Ah! So cute!" whispered-screamed Annalisa. She didn't want to wake her up. "Look at her chubby little cheeks and that tiny little body all curled up and cuddled on the couch," rambled Annalisa.

"Yup, cute," agreed Yamamoto.

"Hmph," said Gokudera.

Tsuna smiled, "She really is cute like this."

"Can we just get her and leave already?" asked Gokudera bored.

"No, lets leave her here," said Annalisa seriously, staring down at Ash.

"What?!" yelled all the others.

"But you-" said Tsuna.

"Yeah, I know what I said," said Annalisa. "But trust me on this. Just leave her here."

"Okay," the others agreed.

Later that day

The last rays of the setting sun were coming through the windows in the office. Hibari had just finished his business and come back to the office. He spotted Ash still sleeping on the couch. He sighed as he picked her up again. "What a pain," he thought to himself. "I thought that the others would take her. Guess I'll have to take her home." He looked down at her as she cuddled up close to him and grabbed tight to his shirt. He gaze softened a bit as he looked at her, that is until her saliva was soaked through with his shirt.
