5986 & TYL!L & 27 & KIDS MINI-SCENE ~ FUTURE ISSUES

"Gyahahaha! Lambo-san is the King!" "Lambo, no fair!" "I-pin can just stay below the throne and obey, gyahahaha!" "No way, vendetta! Taaa!" "Uwaah, you can't attack the King, you can't! Lambo-san is the King!"

Haru can only smiles caringly as I-pin playful flying kicks make Lambo run left and right on her lap – the aforementioned throne – to avoid them.

"Uwaaah, I-pin, unfair! I said I'm the King!" "Vendetta!" "Gyaaah, why vendetta, Lambo-san wants to remain the King! Guuuh, just you wait, I'm going to defeat the rebel against the King!"

BLAM BLAM BLAM. Grenades fly out of Lambo's hair, until I-pin kicks them back in, making Lambo implodes into a fizzy afro charcoal.

"Gotta… hold… it… in… UWAAAH!" A purple metallic shape is pulled out of Lambo's hair.

POOF. "A… hiii…?!" A cloud of smoke later, and Haru is blinking of disbelief, suddenly face to face with the grown-up version of Lambo on her lap.

"Yare yare… The young me seems to have called me at some unsuitable time… And what may I do for you, lovely Signorina?" "Ahiii?! G-get away from Haru!"

BADABAM. Haru's attempt to push away from her the unknown guy way too close to her ends up with their loud falling on the ground.

"O-ouch ouch ouch… Painful-desu…" "Ugh… your balance could be improved, Signorina mia…" "A… hi…ii… T-t-too-close-desu!" "Yare, indeed…"

BAM. The door opens wide on Tsuna and Gokudera, alerted by the noise.

They can't help freezing on the spot at the entrance of Tsuna's room, too much shocked by the show. TYL! Lambo freshly out of the Ten-Years-Bazooka is not a novelty by now, but to have him show up topless with his pants not even buttoned yet is another matter, especially when he has pushed his babysitter to the ground in a very provocative position.

"A-Adult Lambo?! Wh… Haru…?! Wh-what are you…" BAM.

Tsuna doesn't have time to finish his question that a left hook has landed straight in TYL!Lambo's face, propelling him to the opposite wall, far from his victim.

"You're dying now, Stupid Cow!" Gokudera roars, his fists balled up and clenched until they turn white, and his green eyes sending more lightning and shivers than the Thunder Guardian is used to face.

"Th… that's a misunderstanding, Gokudera-chi…!" "Misunderstanding, my ass!" "Upon the honour of the Bovino Family, I ask you to believe me, Vongola Storm Guardian! I-it's true I am fond of cute signorinas, b-b-but I would never dare and touch the lady of another Guardian! … y-yare yabbe (crap)… I wasn't supposed to say that…"

TILT. Gokudera, Haru and Tsuna all freeze with widening eyes, some little arrows connecting one by one in their mind as they analyse TYL!Lambo's sentence again: 'TYL Guardian Lambo' then 'Another Guardian TYL' then 'Lady of this other Guardian TYL'.

"E-EEEEEEEEHHH?!" The three of them snap in synch, two of them blushing furiously.

But when Gokudera jumps on TYL!Lambo to order him to explain himself, another POOF transforms the Thunder Guardian back in his younger version.

"Uwaaah, Ahodera scary!" "G-Gokudera-kun, you shouldn't take it out on Lambo, and…" "B-b-but, 10th…!" "C-calm down, Gokudera-kun… I mean, hum, let's see, hum… Ah! You know, we don't know yet who Adult Lambo was talking about, so…"

TILT. Gokudera pauses with very disconcerting thoughts rushing through his mind.

What does the 10th mean, not for sure… This Stupid Cow said it! In the future he… the Stupid Woman will be his… Ah, no, wait… The 10th is right: this Stupid Cow only said Guardian… so it can be that… that another Guardian… damn… why did he immediately think about himself… and more importantly, why are his fists itching like that right now, itching to punch not only this Stupid Cow but also that Baseball Nut, Turf Head and even THAT Hibari as well… Damn it, why…
