Excerpt of a random idea I had for a Khr x Naruto crossover of sorts. Could be blamed by the fanfics I've been reading, but that's unimportant hahaha- I do not think I can go far with it though, so I'm leaving it here in case someone becomes interested or inspiration strikes up enough that it becomes somewhat the push that lets me continue and hopefully finish it. PM/review if any's interested or inspired.

Coffee and Cigarettes; (Title changeable) ; The supposedly retired boss breathes his last for his Famiglia, whilst somewhere out there, a baby wails his first. Boss!Tsuna reincarnating into Naruto-verse. [ And because it's me, I have a tendency to have Tsuna end up with a guy. Teehee. ]

Forty five was a perfectly great age to walk off into the next big adventure, he idly muses even as he felt his heart begin to slow and his eye lids drift close.

Sawada Tsunayoshi, 10th generation boss of the Vongola famiglia, a lifetime of achievements and memories both good and bad.

He is dying on the battlefield, protecting the next generation from the shadows, decimating the very last group who would have otherwise destroyed the peace he'd started and in which is being continued by his children.

He was tired.

It was time for him to step down and let the current Vongola boss take over what he'd been doing for far too long. He dreaded that day and a part of him is guiltily glad that he would not see the time when his son finds out just how much of the shadows had been kept away by the protective man.

The Eternal Sky, as people had taken to calling him, feels the overdue rest blurring black spots across what little he could peek through from under his long lashes.

"I hope... They won't be too mad I'm leaving first..." He coughs, sighing as he lies surrounded by pooling red, "Resting in peace... I like it."

With a light chuckle that chimes like a bell across the fields of destruction, he breathes his last, the shouts of his Famiglia reaching him echoing to his departing soul.

Somewhere, in another place, in another time and in another dimension, a baby is delivered.

He opens his dazed caramel brown eyes, confusion faintly peeking out and a shocked wail escaping his lips.

He is cleaned, wiped down, wrapped up into a cocoon and cuddled by a figure he cannot see with his blurry baby-sight and unable to do anything with his body that refused to allow him to do anything more than wail and gurgle.

His thoughts is arranged, re-arranged, paused, analyzed and carefully calmed by his well trained mind.

The baby's face scrunches up, appearing as if he would sigh in defeat, before simply curling up against the figure that had been cooing at him and smiling.

"Tsunayoshi. Yuki Tsunayoshi..." The voice was soft, quiet and he could hear the hesitance and sorrow below the happiness. He comes to very quick conclusions that the figure is a lady, as well as his new mother in a life he'd been reincarnated into. His thoughts takes a backseat as he keeps his attention focused on her, "... Or perhaps we should just keep to Sawada Tsunayoshi, ne? It's a secret between mama and Tsu-chan, okay?"

He wants to frown to find out why, but instead he lets the baby body's instincts run and smiles brightly, giggling and gurgling back at his... Mother.

The ex-mafia boss sighs mentally.

He closes his eyes when his mother settles and his now baby-body is given the chance to sleep. He is tired, from the death to the birth and to the abrupt realization that his memories are still there, 'Leave the thinking for tomorrow... Or maybe a week... Or a month... Or a year...'

He feels a headache begin to grow even as he drifts off to sleep.

A miserable thought, something that makes him want to groan at the familiar tone yet smile precisely because of the person who had thoroughly seared it into his mind, filters in just before he succumbs to the dark.

'Dame-Tsuna, don't be stupid.' He could almost hear the click of a gun, 'A boss that doesn't think is a dead boss... You're alive now, aren't you, dame-Tsuna?'

And that's all I've managed up. Though I have an idea of how androgynous/feminine Tsuna would probably end up, along with the fact that he'd stir clear away from being a Shinobi. Probably tired of killing and bloodshed and all. As for the 'Yuki' part, if it isn't figured out yet, it's Haku's clan, which gives me that cackle when I put it with the Zero Point Breakthrough hahahaha.

Probably doesn't help that it's also an excuse for me to imagine/draw Tsuna in shinobi-land clothing teehee.
