A/N: Clearly an 8059 and 5986 fic isn't enough for me. Because I'm just plain crazy about Gokudera, I just had to make a fic about his box animal too.


The Masters

It's been a week since they got their Vongola Box. The Judaime had finally been able to open his, he could tell that the baseball idiot was able to as well, and even the stupid cow and lawn head were on friendly terms with theirs. So why? Why was he the only one having trouble with his box animal?

"Uri! Come back here!" he chased after the blasted cat, running around the Vongola base. Why did this always happen when he release him from his box? He didn't see Yamamoto chasing after his stupid box animal.

As if on cue, said guardian just turned around the corner, Uri easily slipped from under him. And the rain and storm guardian bumped into each other.

"Look where you're going, you baseball idiot!" he half-shouted at him. They were sprawled on the hallway floor.

Yamamoto simply grinned. "Sorry, my bad," he said from under him.

Using Yamamoto's shoulder for leverage, he pulled himself to stand up. The baseball idiot looked at him expectantly, but he didn't offer him a hand. Realizing this, the rain guardian stood up on his own.

"You shouldn't run around the base Gokudera, that's dangerous."

"I don't need you to tell me that," he told him "besides its your fault for being there. What were you doing anyway?"

"Oh! You see my box animal was a dog, so I was taking him out for a walk," Yamamoto explained. He looked around. "Huh? Where did Jirou go?"

Gokudera put his palm on his face. What an idiot. "Who ever heard of taking his box animal for a walk?"

Again, the gods were conspiring against him.

"Gokudera-kun! Yamamoto!" Tsuna joined them, the Vongola Boss was out of breath from running. "Have any of you seen Natsu?" the brunette asked when he stopped.

"The Judaime's box animal?" he asked.

"Yeah, he was uneasy when I release him from his box, so I thought of taking him out for a walk or something," Tsuna explained. "But I seem to have lost him."

Yamamoto grinned at him in a triumphant way, and he had half a mind to slam his fist on his head to wipe that grin off his face. But the Judaime's worries comes first.

"We didn't see him pass here Judaime," he told him. "But we'll help look."

"Our box animal got lost too." Yamamoto said.

The three made their way to the kitchen. Gokudera was convinced that it was the first place Uri would go. That stupid woman had been spoiling her. But before they could get there, they ran into a certain prefect.

"Yo! Hibari!" Yamamoto greeted him cheerily.

"What are you doing here?" he snarled at the cloud guardian. The prefect didn't even look at him, and instead addressed the Judaime.

"My box animal run away." Hibari told him, as if it was his fault.

Tsuna simply looked relieved. "Ours run away too, if you want, let's look for them together." Hibari looked at him as if he was insane. "Or not." the brunette conceded.

Suddenly resounding screams were heard from the kitchen. The four rushed in to help. What? Were they being attacked? Smoke greeted them when they came there. Pink smoke.


The first thing they saw was Haru and Kyoko huddled together with a blonde girl, while three naked guys stood there behind them. When they entered the kitchen, one of three—the weird brown-haired one—jumped up to hug Yamamoto. Gokudera feared he would never be able to get that sight out of his head.

"Takeshi!" the brown-haired boy greeted him warmly, before proceeding to lick his face.

"Huh? Jirou? Are you Jirou?" the baseball idiot asked, before patting the brown-haired boy's head.

"Then this one is Hibari-san's box weapon," Tsuna pointed to the guy with spiky hair, his hair was violet. "And mine is..." his eyes wandered to the orange-haired guy who was cowering behind Hibari-san's box weapon. "Natsu?"

"I'm sorry Judaime," a figure walked towards them. In all the commotion, they didn't notice that he was even there. "I was attempting to make my own Ten-Year Bazooka, when it suddenly went off and hit the box animals running around the kitchen."

"That voice, Gianinni?" Tsuna asked, How did a supposedly Ten Year Bazooka turned box animals into humans? But considering that he even managed turn Gokudera into a 5-year old, this shouldn't surprised him anymore.

He expected his storm guardian to throw a fit, but Gokudera was too busy worrying about other things.

"Uri? Where's Uri?" he asked. His eyes zoomed in to the blonde girl huddled together with Kyoko and Haru. Could it be...? No way. He was sure Uri was a guy.

"Could you please get that three out of here-desu!" Haru suddenly yelled at them. "No! You should all get out of here!" Hibari stared hard at Haru.

Fearing for his friend's life, Tsuna made a big show of agreeing with her. "Oh! You're right! " He removed his jacket, and handed it to Natsu. Hibari and Yamamoto did the same.

"Tsuna-kun," Kyoko called when they were about to leave. "Could you please asked Chrome-chan to bring clothes here?"

"Yeah," he said, before towing everyone out of the kitchen.


They headed to Yamamoto's room, because it was the nearest one near the kitchen. Fortunately, his clothes seem to fit the three.

"But still, that was a shock," Yamamoto said, "to think that our box animals turned into humans."

"They're not humans," he corrected him. "They're still box animals, this is just temporary, at the very least they should vanish when their flames run out."

"Gianini said, that he was sure the effect would last for half a day," Tsuna informed them. "He told me they were hit because Natsu bumped the table when he ran away from Uri. Sorry everyone."

"Don't apologize Judaime! It was Uri's fault. I'll make him, err, her apologize for this!"

"Don't sweat it Tsuna, it's only for a day," Yamamoto said.

Tsuna nodded, cheered up by his friends.

"You're right, I mean, it's only for a day, right? How hard can it be?"


A/N: This was inspired by a fanart I saw. And yeah, the fanart only included these four, and I don't have enough imagination to come up with the others. Pairings that will come up if you squint hard enough to see them. YamamotoxGokudera; UrixJirou; NatsuxKyoko; RollxHaru; TsunaxKyoko; HibarixHaru
