Tsuna was soooo bored!

The second that thought crossed their mind, a shiver of doom fell upon everyone who knew their original gender and how bad things got whenever Tsuna was bored.

The second Kyouya confirmed that was the case, he did the only sane thing he could do.

He shoved Tsuna's fox form into an animal carrier and shipped them off to Byakuran to deal with.

Let the marshmallow obsessed nut deal with Tsuna when they were bored. He would probably enjoy the chaos Tsuna created!

In Italy...

"Byakuran, there's a package for you from Namimori," said Kikyo. It was making weird noises, which did not bode well for their mellow. The last time they got a box that made noises, all hell broke loose because it contained...

Byakuran opened the box...and started laughing. Kikyo's heart dropped.

"Oh god, please don't tell me..."

"Hi Kura-kun! I'm bored again."

"Well we can't have that, now can we, Tsu-chan~" said Byakuran grinning. Tsuna grinned evilly with him.

"RUN! WE HAVE A CODE FOXFIRE ON THE PREMISES! FLEE, FLEE FOR YOUR SANITY!" shouted Kikyo.

The last time a bored Tsuna and Byakuran teamed up, all hell broke loose. It took them months to clean up that mess.

"I wish I could join you right away in causing havoc, but sadly they threatened to take away my marshmallows if I didn't finish my paperwork," said Byakuran.

Tsuna gasped.

"The fiends!"

"It shouldn't take more than a day or two to get through it, so feel free to cause chaos in Italy until then. You still have the earrings I gave you, Tsu-chan?" asked Byakuran.

Tsuna pulled back their hair to reveal the smiling foxes with orange gems in their mouths. Which had a built-in GPS so Byakuran could locate them if they got lost.

"I guess I could go visit Sorella and Mammon for a bit," said Tsuna, tilting their head.

"Try not to blow up the Varia mansion... unless I'm there to roast marshmallows on the fire it would create and laugh at the chaos with you."

"Okay~!" chirped Tsuna. They could hold off on that sort of thing until Byakuran was done.

Luss almost had a heart attack when Tsuna suddenly appeared in the Sun division.

"Tsu-chan! What are you doing here?"

"I was bored, so Kyouya sent me to Byakuran. But he's too busy with paperwork, so I decided to visit you and Mammon instead~" chirped Tsuna. The pseudo-girl tilted her head. "Why do you feel so sad?"

"It's the anniversary of the day our Boss was put on something like house arrest by the Vongola," explained Luss.

"Why?" asked Tsuna innocently.

"Boss was mad at Nono for something, so he confronted him about it...and that was the last we heard from him. We know where he is, but we can't reach him."

Lussuria had to smile when Tsuna immediately hugged him.

"That sounds bad. Did he know you would be hurt too if you lost your Boss?" asked Tsuna.

"I highly doubt he cared. He might think he was being kind, but it feels more like he's punishing all of us. Squalo's kept us going, but we really miss him."

"Mu. Why not bring him with us when we sneak into the mansion to visit the Boss?" said a voice.

"Hi Mammon," said Tsuna. Then they tilted their head. "Sneak in?"

"It's to remind ourselves that the Boss isn't actually dead, just an ice cube."

Squalo either didn't notice or didn't care about the extra when they snuck into the mansion.

But the second Tsuna came within five feet of the giant ice block he started crying.

"You alright, Tsu-chan?" asked Luss.

"He's really sad and hurting. Can't you feel it?"

"Voi! Who's the brat?" demanded Squalo.

"His name is Tsuna," said Mammon.

"Shishishi... how could a peasant know what the Boss is feeling?" said Belphegor.

"I just can. Maybe it's because I'm more in tune with the spirit realm, but I can tell he's really hurting from being away from you all. Just being close to you seems to be making it a little better, but it's like there's interference. A familiar interference," said Tsuna frowning. Now that he was here, he recognized this feeling from before.

"Mu. How could it possibly be familiar?" demanded Mammon impatiently.

Tsuna reached out with his Flames...and started growling.

"Was the one who sealed him like this named Timoteo of the Vongola?" demanded Tsuna, very pissed off now.

"Voi! What the hell difference does that make?" asked Squalo.

"Because I already have a score to settle with that man, and this is just adding on top of the crimes he's committed against other Skies," said Tsuna darkly. "The last time I felt this Flame signature, Byakuran was removing a seal from me."

The room was silent, but Tsuna was more focused on the man in the ice.

"And if I remember what happened last time right...the best way to remove seals like this is to overpower them with a stronger Sky Flame."

It probably wasn't very smart. And he was almost certainly going to get yelled at by Byakuran and the others at the least. But he couldn't leave things like this, not when his friends were hurting so much from having their Sky imprisoned so cruelly.

So Tsuna put his hand on the 'ice' and started pouring his Flames into it. It almost looked like nothing was actually happening...until cracks started forming. They were small, but they quickly grew to the point that large chunks were falling off and disappearing at a rapid pace. He was becoming exhausted, but this was more important than him being tired.

With a loud "Crack!", the ice split into two rough halves...and someone collapsed on the floor.

"Boss!" yelped Lussuria. He was quick to bring his Sun flame to the unconscious figure...and his sigh of relief made everyone else relax. "He's alive... weak, and his Flames are at a very dull roar, but alive."

Seeing Tsuna pass out from using too many Flames at once, Squalo was quick to catch the kid who freed their Sky.

Xanxus woke up to find a fretting Lussuria, who looked openly relieved to see him awake.

"Thank god. How are you feeling Boss?" said Lussuria.

Xanxus tried to move and winced. He was suffering from Flame depletion, he could tell he had scars all over, and he felt like shit. Other than that, he was still alive and he was still able to move.

"Like shit, trash. What happened?"

"You were frozen. For five years."

Xanxus froze.

"What."

"Nono apparently did something to turn your Flames into ice. We had no idea how to reverse it... but it seems this isn't the first time he did something like this."

"Explain!"

"Owie... my head feels bad."

Xanxus turned his head to find... a kid with ears and a tail? Definitely a Mist then.

Luss chuckled, before handing the kid some pills. They looked like medicine for minor Flame depletion and migraines.

"Well considering you rarely use your Flames, and this is the first time you've exhausted that many..." said Lussuria.

"Who's this trash?"

"I'm Tsuna~" the kid positively chirped. His tail flicked this way and that, while his ears twitched.

"Ah, ah, ah... no switching around until your Flames are back to normal. Whatever you did to free the Boss wore you out too much for you to do more than the ears or tail for a few days," scolded Luss.

Tsuna openly pouted.

"But I hate being stuck in one gender! It's soooo boring!"

Xanxus stared.

"What."

"Tsu-chan~ Guess who finished their paperwork early!" sing-songed a voice that didn't sound entirely sane. An albino kid came into the infirmary, took one look at Xanxus and openly pouted. "I thought I said no chaos until I was allowed to join in."

"That old geezer who put the seal on me apparently sealed another Sky. You know I dislike Timoteo after the stunt he pulled when I was five," said Tsuna flatly.

The albino clucked at him.

"Well I can't say I blame you for resenting that old man for sealing your Flames...or that you would react badly to finding out he did it before. How long is he on Flame restrictions?" asked the albino to Luss.

"At least three or four days."

"Which means we'll have to tone down our usual chaos until he's feeling better~!"

"Trash, explain. Now," demanded Xanxus.

"You see Boss, it's like this..." said Lussuria slowly.

Xanxus went from annoyed, to incredulous, to just plain pissed. Fortunately, he seemed to like Tsuna enough not to consider him "trash" anymore.

The kid hadn't hesitated to risk his own health to free someone he didn't even know, simply because he was pissed at the old man. Finding out he wasn't the only one screwed over by Nono seemed to earn a little bit of favor towards him.

That, and the kid was chaotic enough to fit right in when it came to Varia-level crazy, which hadn't changed much.

So Xanxus wasn't about to start using the Kitsune as target practice. If he had the stomach to handle the inevitable killing that came with being mafia, then maybe he might be worth knowing.

For now though, the only thing Xanxus wanted to do was recover from whatever Nono had done to him and get things back in order.

He quickly revised any negative opinions of the "little fox" as everyone called the kid when he came across what happened when the kid became bored and had accomplices.

One look at the chaos and terror the brat was capable of inflicting with his Flames and someone who wasn't exactly the definition of sane...

"You know what, screw it. From now on the brat is Kitsune and we're calling him when we want something extra creative against the trash we normally have to deal with," declared Xanxus flatly. He'd rather have that devious mind on his side, than against him. If giving him a Varia code name meant the kid didn't turn his boredom on them, despite not killing anyone, then he'd take what he could get.

With any luck he'd be able to send the kid after CEDEF to watch the fire works with a good bottle of booze.

Byakuran had cackled when he delivered Tsuna back to Namimori...and told the others what happened. Hearing the mafia-raised and the Arcobaleno swear hearing Tsuna had freed Xanxus and earned the man's respect enough to be considered Varia Quality without actually killing just seemed par for the course when it came to the Fox.

Tsuna was just happy to make a new friend...and to be able to switch his gender around again. He hated being stuck in one gender for days at a time. It made him itch.

In the Varia...

"Alright miser brat, what the hell caused the Sawada's spawn to turn out like that?" asked Xanxus.

Mammon didn't even bother to demand payment. They were just happy to have Xanxus back.

"Mu. The idiot caused his wife to develop a Sky Infection, and her son accidentally found a way to negate the worst of it. It wasn't until Fon's grandson got involved that the boy allowed his disguise to take a life of it's own. Though the rest of Tsu-chan's behavior can be fully blamed on the Gesso brat."

"Tsu-chan?"

"If you aren't certain what to call him, just use Tsu-chan. That or gender neutral pronouns like we use around Luss. Byakuran helped undo the seal Timoteo placed on the boy when he was only five, and since Tsuna didn't mind being around him he started influencing 'Tsunako', which is what the child calls his female side. So if the kid acts like he's on a perpetual sugar high, that's why."

"How the hell did they find out about the seal?"

"Blame Fon for that. He noticed something was off because the kid was a bit too good at disguising his gender long before he managed to learn how to use his Mist flame properly. And when he found out about the boy's mother...well, he got pissed enough to ask a favor from Luce's family. She's the one who introduced Tsuna to Byakuran."

"How did you get involved."

"Someone had to train the brat how to use his other primary. Fon recommended me and the Gesso brat paid my fees to train the boy in how to use his Mist. Though from what I remember, Tsuna had a major freak out the first time he successfully managed to shift his gender so thoroughly she actually had a period."

Xanxus stared, before a low rumble started in his throat. It took a minute before he started laughing his ass off.

Mammon's lips quirked upward.

"That was my reaction too. After that the brat started switching genders as easily as one would change clothes, though she gets stuck every time that time of the month rolls around. Can you imagine what the Vongola or even the other familigias would say if there was a gender-switching brat in charge of the Family?"

Xanxus laughed harder.

Most of the Dons he knew were all stuffed up, total assholes. Putting a kid who switched genders like it was nothing with the attitude of a child on a perpetual sugar high... that was sure to be hilarious, especially if the brat used those damn puppy dog eyes like when Xanxus even looked like he was about to tell the kid off.

The brat was one scary Mist, using cuteness to get his way. Adding Sky Flames on top of that...

If he ever ended up heir to the Vongola family name, then at least Xanxus wouldn't have to fear boredom anytime soon. Just imagining the coronaries of those stuck up Guardians Timoteo had would have made the entire thing worth it.
