As the sun shone through his bedroom window, Tsuna cracked his eyes open before quickly closing them again and letting out a low groan. He could tell that he had over slept and, of course, that meant he was late and would have to run to school and face the disciplinary com-

Wait, he thought as he opened his eyes again and looked at his alarm clock which was flashing 9:15, that can't be right! Reborn would never let me sleep in so long…

Usually by this time the tiny hitman would have gotten him up. Well, that was an understatement. Usually by this time Reborn would have blown up his bed, electrocuted him or used some other totally insane means of torturing the teen to get him out of bed. He never, ever, let Tsuna sleep in.

Unless he's planning something awful for me today…

That wouldn't surprise poor Tsuna one bit. The last time he'd gotten up at his own pace, Reborn had set up booby traps from his bedroom all the way to school; they had nearly killed him three times before he even made it to the kitchen!

Lifting his head from his head from his pillow, the teen looked around as he yawned but nothing stood out to him as suspicious. He didn't even see his tutor in the room. Relaxing a little, he moved to get out of bed but, in typical Dame-Tsuna style, tripped over his on feet and went tumbling to the floor. He let out a screech of pain when he landed as he'd fallen right onto his cute, fluffy tail.

Tsuna looked behind him at the light brown fur he was sitting on and blinked in shock a couple times before noticing that the fur didn't stop there but when up his back and over his legs. Short legs with adorable paws at the end… He looked to his hands. No, those were definitely paws too.

Letting out a loud scream, the teen rushed to his mirror, tripping over his own feet again on the way, and stared wide eyed at the bizarre creature before him. The thing in the glass was mostly a light brown colour with brown accents including a mane and hair that was definitely reminiscing of Tsuna's own untameable do. Large ears lifted then flattened back and then lifted again as the teen went through the proper emotional distress one goes through in such a situation as the one he was in. Panic, shock and denial, mostly.

As the poor boy was sitting there, transfixed by his own reflection, Nana came up the stairs with a basket of laundry and she pushed it open the door to the room. Tsuna tensed when he saw his mother's refection in the mirror as well but only truly came to terms with his situation when the woman dropped her basket and gasped.

"Oh, how cute!" she cooed, moving to her knees and becoming for him, "You must have come in through the open window. Here, kitty, kitty!"

Turning slowly towards his mother, Tsuna took a deep breath. This was going to be a shock for his mother but he had to tell her what was happening. Tell her what Reborn had done! So, without another moment of hesitation, the teen opened his mouth and blurted out his woes.

"Mom, please, it's me! I know this is insane and hard to believe, I wouldn't believe it myself if it hadn't happened to me, but please! It really is me. Where's Reborn? I know he's behind this!" he cried out as he moved slowly towards his mother with begging eyes.

Well, at least, that's what he thought he had told his mother. For instead of panicking or anything he had hoped she would do, Nana just laughed warmly and reached out to pat his head.

"What a noisy kitty you are! And such a cute noise!" she giggled as she picked up her transformed son and cradled him in her arms, "Eve-y."

Tsuna was utterly confused by her words and went to try and explain everything to her again when that dreaded word was heard from behind his mother.

"Ciaossu," Reborn called from the door, causing Nana to turn and face him with a warm smile.

"Oh, Reborn-san! I thought you were going on a camping trip with Tsuna?"

"We are; Tsuna is waiting by the school. I just came back because I forgot Leon."

The teen in question's eyes widened and he looked between his mother and tutor.

"What are you talking about? Mom, mom! I'm right here! Mom, he did something to me again!" he cried as he struggle in her arms and looked at her desperately again. She looked at the animal in her arms and shushed him while patting his head.

"I bet your thirst," she said while poking his nose, "I'll get you some milk."

"No need, Mama," Reborn cut in with a smirk, "I know where this cat lives. I'll take him home."

"That's so sweet. Thank you, Reborn," Nana replied, looking only a little disappointed before putting Tsuna down and heading for the door. As she left the room, however, the teen looked at his tutor with terrified eyes as his little smirk grew darker and he lifted Leon off of his fedora.

It was in that moment the Tsuna realized that whatever Reborn had planned, it would be far worse than anything he had ever been through before…

So, if anyone is even reading this, I've decided to continue with it. However, before I can do that, I have to revamp the already written chapters! Hopefully this makes up for the...two years since updating... Unfortunately I still don't have the patience for editing or finding a Beta reader, so please excuse the mistakes I know are there and enjoy my updated story.
