Disclaimer: Yeah, if you recognize it, it's not mine. Enjoy the madness!

A/N: A few of the characters might be a little OOC, but all the same I think the reactions aren't too far off. Also, this is set, more or less, in the TYL! Timeline which is why I used first names. (Sorry for the long A/N at the end!)

Chapter 26: Vongola, Varia, and the Ticking Noise

Tsuna had watched all the Harry Potter movies, Hayato had read all the books(including the extras such as The Tales of Beedal the Bard), and Takeshi knew the basic plot with the rest of the Familia, including the Varia, were variations and computations of the three. Thus, when Chrome came upon the video 'Reborn Puppet Pals III: The Mysterious Ticking Noise,' she smirked and knew her boss would find it amusing. She sent him the link and waited, using her Flame to sense her boss. She needn't have bothered. He sent her a reply. 'Thank you. I needed the laugh.(and I did laugh. Loudly. I'm glad Hayato wasn't near by) Get back to work. If I must suffer this inhuman torture than so must you.' She sighed, but supposed she should have seen it coming. While the female Mist was getting back to work with a mildly glum expression, the Sky was clutching his head in worry. "How did they get this footage! Do we have a mole in our Familia? But no. I've seen this before, and with many different uploaders. I know! It must be that show Reborn had... Reborn! I should have known. He's the one who's been filming us! I bet he roped Skull and and few of Yuni's men into it as well. Possibly Shoichi as well, seeing as it was his base we had to infiltrate. That freaky... ah well, I suppose I should share this with the others. I wonder if Squalo would share it with the Varia? Takeshi will undoubtedly send it on to the Shark. Ah well, i'll just let Reborn know that there might be a small force of elite assassins that might be gunning for me and my Guardians in..." he trailed off, pausing in his near frantic typing of emails and figureing how long it would take the Varia to watch the video, decide to attack, and then get there. "Three days ought to be about right. They are on the other side of Italy, thank heavens." And with that, Tsuna sent the email to the rest of his Guardians, who soon sent their replies, being smart enough to use Reply to Sender instead of Reply All. Though, Ryohei seemed to have forgotten. The gist of most of them was, 'Amusing, but why am I..' fill in the blank. It seemed the Guardians found it funny, especially the casting, though Mukuro wasn't too pleased with the last optional ending, Hayato wasn't please with being cast as the female, and all agreed that Bel was the only choice for Voldemort.

Meanwhile, the Varia were having their own reactions, though Squalo was the only one with the link and he wasn't sending it on. His yell of 'VVVVVVVVVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!'was enough to call the rest to his room. Honestly, the man has a voice like a foghorn. It's hard to miss it. Those not featured in the video were all too happy to chuckle, particularly at Hayato's casting, until they realized something terrible. Their Boss was on the way and he was cast as Snape, his least favorite character. Which was odd, even once you got past the small fact that he even read Harry Potter, since Snape held the same kind of grudge that Xanxus himself did and was capable of acting on it in ways he wasn't. Squalo hastily tried to cover it up, but Xanxus was too fast, for once.

"Trash, play the video," he said ruthlessly, like he did with everything. Squalo sighed, but replayed the video. Xanxus glared. "Who sent this?"

"The Sword Brat," Squalo said, seething a little about being cast as Dumbledore. But at least it wasn't Rapunzel. He would have been inconsolable had it been Rapunzel.

"I'll be having words with the Trash," Xanxus said, his red eyes flashing. The Varia sighed. This wasn't going to go down well. Tsuna seemed to be wearing thin with all the paperwork he had to do and Xanxus 'having words' with Takeshi would likely generate more paperwork and more paperwork meant more stress on the 'Vongola Trash' and more stress on the 'Vongola Trash' meant an angry Mafia Boss and an angry Mafia Boss meant pain for the idiot who ticked him off, which would be Xanxus and whoever was near him, which meant the Varia. It wasn't going to be a fun visit.

The Vongola and the Varia would later reflect that, they really should have listened to their instincts and stayed quite. They should have listened to the little voice in their heads and stayed home. They should have heeded that feeling in their gut and not sent the email. They should have added a warning label. They should have run when they heard raised voices. But, they would all muse a they either laid in the hospital wing recovering from Dying Will degree burns or cried silently in their office as a mountain of paper work threatened to crush them, saying that now wasn't going to help. The damage was done and the most they could do was pay for it and then learn from their mistake. Too bad this was the Decimo Generation and common sense had taken it's leave.

A/N: Well? Anyway, tell me who you think read the books, who watched the movies, who knows the plot from listening to the others argue, and who read the books and watched movies. If you want, you could give me favorite characters for the Guardians and Varia. I think Tsuna's favorite would be Harry, Gokudera's favorite would either be Luna; since she believes in things other wizards don't; or Hermione for obvious reasons. Takeshi would probably like Remus(Professor Lupin). Tell me what you think, I'm kind of a Harry Potter fangirl, but not a crazy one. I've never been a crazy fangirl, but that might just be because of my personality, which is laid back and almost apathetic until you push my buttons.

To RawwrMage: your review was fine what are you talking about? Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. Search with 'KHR Sailor Moon' in youtube and you'll see that there are several versions. I just used the one that seemed like it would outrage them the most. Also, like I said in a previous A/N, the time line is all wacka-do because some videos need the young Vongola and some need the TYL!Vongola. This was almost... 3YL!Vongola because it works best there. I didn't start out with a clear view of what time frame the story was in so it just kinda stayed that way. And yet they often refer to previous chapters in a different time frame... When I get done with my next Fic that little problem won't happen. These are pretty much mostly unrelated/loosely related one-shots. The first two was a tow-shot.

To Rozetta Kreuz lilith: I will look into that. Look for it after 'Chapter 38.'

To Ayayuki Sawada: … Is it the Vongola Style Eggnogg's influence or their own free will? If yes to the first then no, it's perfectly fine. If yes to the second well... Hayato might have some 'words' for you.

To Reviewers in General: I'm glad you liked 'Hitman Sailor Reborn.' And thank you for keeping up with this story, it means a lot more than I thought it would.

Anyway, I've rambled enough. On with the reviews! (or madness. Either one is fine.)
