Summary: The Ten-Year Bazooka strikes again! But this time, the malfunctioned bazooka causes mini and more honest forms of the guardians to appear! Cute! And what's this? The guardians seem to be less honest than Tsuna originally thought. Especially towards their feelings... Yehey for secrets!
Author's note: ATTENTION! Special attention everybody! I was currently going through the tumblr and realized something important! AUGUST 27 is 8027 day! Guys! We have to make special fics to honor this day! SPREAD THE WORD AND THE LOVE! Man, I'm looking forward to this!
The Mini Version of My Heart
Tsuna should've known that Reborn, his infamous malicious tutor, was up to something as usual. And the brunet should've also known that whatever Reborn was planning, would end up in him getting embarrassed and beaten up.
But no, he was too happy to notice the arcobaleno sending him one of the 'I'm-planning-something-secretly-and-you-don't-know-what-it-is' looks. Because today, his crush and school idol Sasagawa Kyoko asked him out on a date!
A date! Finally his dreams were coming true!
Although she didn't specifically say it was a date… Tsuna thought to himself as he walked down the familiar path to his house. She said it was a small acquaintance party she and Ryohei were having in their house, but still! Tsuna looked up determinedly. She asked me! Out of everyone she asked me!
Tsuna left out the detail that Kyoko also asked out Gokudera and Yamamoto. But then, 'love' –cough, infatuation- makes you forget important details like that.
"I'm home!" Tsuna said happily as he opened the door to his house. However as he did this, his instincts rang like a fire alarm and he was barely able to dodge the tonfa thrown his way. H-HIEEEEEEE! What the heck?
The brunet looked up fearfully and his eyes widened in fear as he saw Hibari looking at him with an irritated expression.
"Stop crowding by the door, herbivore and get in!" Hibari growled and Tsuna immediately closed the door behind him and nodded hurriedly. Hibari grunted in approval before turning his back on the brunet, who took this chance to run.
"REBORN!" Tsuna shouted as he ran up the stairs and took the steps two at a time. He ran to his room like his pants were on fire and threw the door open. "Reborn! What is Hibari-san doing-!"
"Hahaha! Hey there Tsuna." Surprise. Yamamoto was here.
"Jyuudaime! Gomenasai!" And also Gokudera.
"Hiiee! Gokudera-kun? Yamamoto? What are you doing here?" Tsuna said as he dropped his bag on the floor.
Yamamoto tilted his head contemplating and Tsuna's eyes widened as he felt his heart speed up. "Hm? Well, the kid invited us. Sempai and Chrome are also here." He smiled, as though the other guardians being in Tsuna's house was normal.
"Gomenasai jyuudaime!" Gokudera began the traditional way of banging his head on Tsuna's bedroom floor. "I wasn't able to stop them from coming in and disturbing the peace of your house! Gomenasai!"
Well the peace is already disturbed with you guys here. Tsuna sweat dropped but then he rushed to his storm's side and stopped him from further damaging his head. "I-It's fine G-Gokudera-kun, i-it's not your fault. I'm sure Reborn is the one who caused this."
Click!
"That's right Dame-Tsuna." Came the babyish voice form behind him. Tsuna looked back and saw Reborn standing by the doorway with a gun pointed directly at him. "You've become really good at reading things."
Because this was obvious! Tsuna wanted to scream but he knew better. Reborn smirked as though he read the other's thoughts and Tsuna wouldn't put it past him if he did.
"Now, I want you and your rain and storm guardians to go to the living room with the rest. I'll be joining you shortly for something important." Reborn said as he pulled down his fedora to hide his eyes. Tsuna looked at the other suspiciously but shrugged it off since he just wanted to end whatever Rebron was planning right away.
"Guys, let's go." Tsuna said and Yamamoto slid off the brunet's bed with easy grace while Gokudera nodded solemnly as he stood up. The three Vongolas made their way to the living room, leaving behind a smirking Reborn.
Oh, was this going to be fun.
Tsuna was sitting frozen in his seat as he watched Gokudera glare at Hibari while the said prefect leaned against the wall in irritation. Ryohei looked like he wanted to explode and start running around while Chrome was shying away from everyone as always. Thank goodness, Mukuro didn't come out or else it would've been chaos. He and Hibari still hadn't settled their differences.
Also, for some reason, 15-year-old Lambo was sitting across from Tsuna in boredom while Yamamoto was just Yamamoto.
"I'm glad to see that you are all here." Reborn stated then he turned to the female illusionist. "Chrome can you create an illusion of Mukuro and make him possess the illusion?"
Tsuna face paled while Hibari's eyes narrowed at the mention of the pineapple haired herbivore. Chrome nodded and she gripped her staff tightly as mist began to form beside her. The image of Mukuro sitting casually at the couch, as though it was normal, greeted their sights.
"Kufufu, what is this? A disgusting gathering of Mafioso again I see." Mukuro stated as he flipped his hair. "You never fail to summon me at the most despicable gatherings." He stated as his eyes flashed. Tsuna suppressed a frightened squeal while Hibari leaned away from the wall to glare at the mist with hate.
"Now, before this turns into a blood bath…" Reborn stated calmly as though he could care less that it turned into a blood bath.
He must be expecting that I would break it up if it ever did turn into one. Tsuna thought with horror.
"I'd like to tell you that I gathered you all here as guinea pigs for an experiment." He said with a smirk and everyone froze.
Guinea pigs?
"E-Eh?" Lambo said, totally not expecting this. He turned to Tsuna who looked equally frightened. "What does he mean by guinea pigs?"
Before Tsuna could voice out his own confusion Reborn suddenly took out something familiar.
"Hey that's the ten-year bazooka-!" Gokudera said but then Reborn smirked as he fired it and a familiar pink pellet came out, landed on the floor, and surrounded the whole living room in pink smoke.
POOF!
"What the hell-?"
"Hahaha! I feel like something's tickling me!"
"HIIEEE! Someone save me!"
"Herbivores, get out of my way or I will bite you to death."
"Oya, oya I think something's happening. Are you alright my dear Chrome?"
"Mukuro-sama, where are you?"
" This is so not happening right now! Why did I have to be a part of this? I'm from the future!"
"EXTREME! SO EXTREME!"
Reborn was careful to avoid the pink smoke and after several seconds, the smoke began to dissipate. It seems like his stupid student was able to open the window.
Tsuna coughed as he held the window open to make sure the smoke was ventilated out of the living room. "Is everyone alright?"
"Ahaha! Yeah!" Yamamoto called back.
"As expected of jyuudaime! To be the first one to solve the problem and open the window!" Gokudera said in awe.
"That was an extreme smoke! And it was pink to the extreme!" Ryohei shouted.
Lambo sighed. "That got me nervous for a second."
"Oya, it seemed like the little bird is lost." Mukuro said and Hibari popped a vein.
"Shut up, pineapple." Hibari said with venom.
"Mukuro-sama what is that?" Chrome suddenly pointed out. All of the guardians' attention turned to her.
Tsuna looked at his guardians in confusion. Nothing seemed to have happened after that little explosion. He expected his guardians to have been turned into small people or else transformed into their older selves but it seems like everything was normal, but then what had Reborn been expecting when he fired the bazooka?
Reborn smirked as he tugged his fedora lower.
"Stupid pineapple herbivore and his weird hairstyle, I will bite him to death!" Came a sudden cute voice and Tsuna's eyes snapped towards the source of the voice. The guardians gaped openly when a small Hibari Kyoya, about a feet tall and with huge eyes and chubby cheeks, was seen hitting Mukuro's pant leg with small tonfas.
Mukuro blinked in astonishment. "Wha-?"
"Oya, oya…" Came another small voice and Tsuna could almost swear his eyes popped out of their sockets. A small Mukuro was on Mukuro's shoulder looking down at the mini version of Hibari with an amused smile. "How adorable, the skylark has shrunk… And clearly even in mini form he has no fashion sense. Does he not know that pineapple is all the rage today?" The mini Mukuro flipped his hair and the original Mukuro froze.
"What the hell is happening here!" Another small voice said and Gokudera froze when he felt something on his head. It was the mini form of Gokudera that Tsuna saw only once before when the bazooka was modified bi Giannini. A small Gokudera was sprawled on the original Gokudera's head, looking around with big green eyes. "What the hell are you all looking at? Are you jealous of me or something?" The small Gokudera smirked. "Hmph, I guess you all realize that the only right-hand man for jyuudaime is me!"
"Extreme! Judging from this extreme situation, this was caused by that weird and extreme toy the kid pulled out!" Came a surprisingly analytical observation. Tsuna was honestly surprised that it came from the mouth of a small Ryohei who was seated by the couch's arm.
"UWAAH! I hate this! Why did I have to be dragged into another of Reborn's mess!" A mini form of the 15-year-old Lambo was crying on the floor.
"The cow child is weird. The sun man is weird. Everything is weird." Chrome blushed as the mini form of her continued to say depressing and monotone-like things. The small Chrome was sitting on her lap with a staff as well. She had a depressed eye as she looked around.
While Tsuna was gapping at the sudden scene, he suddenly felt something pull on his pants. He looked down and sure enough a mini form of him with teary eyes was looking up fearfully. The brunet felt fear in his own heart as he leaned down and gathered the small one in his arms.
"Everyone is so scary! What has Reborn done now?" The mini Tsuna cried and Tsuna knew that somehow he and this little one were connected. Because how else did the small one know what he wanted to say in his heart?
"Hm, it seems like it worked." Reborn said and Tsuna and the guardians immediately snapped their attention to the arcobaleno.
At the back of his mind, Tsuna was vaguely aware that he hadn't heard the mini Yamamoto speak, although he could see that like him, Yamamoto had his mini self in his arms. Strange enough, the mini Yamamoto looked like was sulking. His lips formed a pout and his eyebrows were drawn together like he was upset. But then the original Yamamoto looked opposite from that. He was still smiling widely.
"What do you mean by that Reborn? What did you do?" Mini Tsuna and Original Tsuna said at the same time.
Reborn didn't say anything as he held up the bazooka he used. Lambo's eyes widened.
"Hey that's not the ten year bazooka." Lambo said and sure enough it wasn't. It was pink and a good bit larger than the bazooka Lambo always carried around.
"Good observation cow." Reborn said with a smirk. "This isn't the ten year bazooka. This is a prototype. One of Giannini's experiments and he modeled it after the bazooka. However it was supposed to be the opposite and switched you with you past self rather than your future self. As always, something went wrong and those little guys came out instead."
"Eh? But then how long will this last?" Tsuna and Mini Tsuna said at the same time again. Everyone was watching the scene in amusement.
"Who knows?" Reborn said mischievously. "Oh and you have to know something important about them." He said pointing to the mini forms of the guardians who blinked. "These little ones aren't just images created from you, they're like you box animals that represent your heart. They know every single secret you have and once asked a question they will most likely exposed the truth. For example…" Reborn turned to the mini intellectual Ryohei. "Ryohei who is your crush?"
The original boxer looked at the ceiling, avoiding everyone's eyes as he blushed and scratched his cheek. "I-I don't know what y-you're t-talking about-"
"That's extremely easy!" The mini Ryohei said and the big Ryohei turned to his counterpart in astonishment. "It's Kuro-!"
"GAAH! EXTREME!" Ryohei shouted causing everyone to jump in astonishment as he covered the mini Ryohei's mouth and ran out of the living room like there was no tomorrow. Everyone blinked.
"See?" Reborn said to the horrified faces left in the room. "Now, if I were you, you should be careful." Reborn said before he left.
"Oya, things seemed to have become more interesting." Mukuro said as he dangled his mini self by his clothes. The mini Mukuro was struggling at the harsh treatment.
"Oi, Mukuro! Why do you have a pineapple hairstyle?" Gokudera called out all of a sudden. The mini Mukuro looked up with a superior smirk on his face and the big Mukuro froze.
"That's because one time when I was five I saw a beautiful girl inside a shop and I was obsessed of wanting to know her." He began. "I even made a shrine for her in my old room. And one time I got my haircut to be the same style as her. I didn't mind that it was pineapple-like. I got Lanchia to cut it."
Tsuna's mouth was open at the sudden onslaught of information. Mukuro was like a stalker when he was five.
"But when I finally went to the shop to ask her out, I realized that the silhouette of the girl was actually a pineapple on a weirdly shaped chair. My heart has been broken since then and I'd never trusted women again." Mini Mukuro said. Behind him, the original Mukuro was letting out a weird dark aura while Gokudera and his mini counterpart were laughing their butts off.
"Wow, that was… interesting." Yamamoto laughed but his mini form said the opposite.
"It was weird." The mini Yamamoto said bluntly and Tsuna looked at the small Yamamoto in astonishment. Yamamoto was never rude. The mini rain guardian looked away when he saw brown eyes looking at him. Was it Tsuna or was there pink dusting his cheeks?
"Maa… maa… you can't say something like that." The original Yamamoto poked the small counterpart's cheeks. It made a cute sound but the mini Yamamoto was silent and had contented himself by looking down sadly on the floor. The original baseball idol sighed in exasperation.
While this was going on, Tsuna failed to see Mukuro trying to kill his storm guardian while he was distracted.
"Everyone looks so happy. Why am I the only one who is miserable?" Mini Chrome suddenly said and original Chrome blushed again as she picked up her mini self.
"Stop that! Why are you saying those things?" Chrome said fearfully. "You have boss and Mukuro-sama you should be thankful!"
"They won't stay with me long like mama and papa." Mini Chrome continued her depressing rant.
"Chrome…" Tsuna stated as he walked towards the girl. "Chrome are you feeling troubled? Is something bothering you?"
"N-No o-of course not boss!" Original Chrome said in astonishment.
"Yes there is." Was the more certain reply of the small mist.
"Are you still bothered about your past?" Tsuna said kindly and his small form completed this question by tilting his head cutely.
"N-No, not anymore. I-I don't care about mama and papa, I love being here with everyone." Chrome said and her mini form was silent. So this must be true.
"Then are you scared that we might leave you alone?" Tsuna asked and Chrome didn't answer but her mini form did.
"Yes." Tsuna smiled and behind him he could feel Mukuro approach.
"We won't leave you alone. You have Ken, Chikusa, and Mukuro before but now you have us." Tsuna smiled kindly and he let his mini self go to Chrome and comfort her. "Your family is growing bigger and not one of us would ever leave you behind. I promise."
Chrome looked up at Tsuna and there was a relieved expression on her face. Meanwhile, the mini Chrome had started crying and mini Tsuna was comforting her.
Mukuro was smirking behind Tsuna but his eyes were soft as he looked at Nagi. His mini form jumped on Tsuna's head and the male illusionist let him be because he knew that his mini self would say the words he would never get to say.
"Thank you." The small Mukuro whispered to the big Tsuna who blushed in astonishment at being thanked. Mukuro picked up his mini self before moving towards Nagi and her small counterpart.
"You did really well Tsuna." Came a voice form behind the brunet as Mukuro and Chrome moved to the couch. Tsuna looked up and he saw the two Yamamotos smiling at him gently. There was something else in that smile as well, something sad and hidden. "You really are kind."
Tsuna smiled back, both him and his mini form were blushing. The brunet could feel his heart inflate but he didn't know why. "Thanks!"
BAM!
The mini Yamamoto blinked as Tsuna turned around and shrieked when he saw both the mini and original forms of Hibari and Mukuro fighting. The small rain guardian struggled in the arms of the original but he was restrained by strong arms.
"No. You can't." Yamamoto said, his eyes flashing seriously as he looked down at his counterpart.
"Let me go." The small raven-haired complained as small fists waved in the air. His eyebrows were furrowed in concentration and amber eyes were locked on Tsuna as he struggled. "I want to go and hug him! I want to keep Tsuna close!"
"I know…" Yamamoto said in exasperation. "Whose heart is it do you think you're carrying anyway?" The rain said in a hushed tone.
"Hibari-san! Mukuro! Please stop!" The original Tsuna screamed.
"You'll destroy the house! Do you know how much repairs cost?" The small Tsuna shouted this time. The brunet blushed, he didn't want to let the others know that he was thinking about that whenever they were about to destroy his house.
"Your style is so lame! Green is very herbivore-like!" Mini Hibari shouted as he threw a punch towards the mini Mukuro.
"Ha! And you! Thinking you look so cool with you jacket fluttering behind you!" Mini Mukuro countered. "Oya, but secretly, I actually think your sense of style is great and I once tried it out of fascination-"
BAM! Mini Mukuro was thrown to the air.
"Oya, it looks like my hand slip." Mukuro stated with a dark smile as a dark aura surrounded him again.
Mini Hibari was looking at the mini Mukuro. "I am also jealous of you. Even though I have Hibird I also secretly want that cute owl you have, who is always following you-!"
CRASH!
"These things are annoying." Hibari said a vein popping in his forehead. Tsuna sweat dropped. So his two strongest guardians were actually jealous of each other? But behind Tsuna, a recovered Gokudera looked excited at the prospect of revealing their secrets.
"Hn, it seems like you two have something to hide." Gokudera said, his green eyes flashing knowingly. His mini self was still on top of his head, hugging the mass of silver hair to prevent himself from falling off.
"I don't know what you're saying Gokudera Hayato." Mukuro said with confidence. "I have nothing to hide, like you dirty mafia."
"Actually, this morning when I took over for Chrome, a guy from Kokuyo confessed to me thinking I was her-!" BANG! Mini Mukuro was suddenly squashed with one of the mini living room table. Tsuna and his mini self was crying at the damage.
"Hn, what a pathetic herbivore." Hibari said as he crossed his arms.
"I like hamburgers, and small cute animals that are herbivores. I live alone and secretly I'm lonely-AH!" Mini Hibari was taken into original Hibari's vice grip.
Hibari's eyes were flashing dangerously. "I'll bite you to death."
"Guys I'm EXTREMELY back!" Ryohei said cheerfully. Tsuna looked up and sweat dropped when he saw the mini Ryohei on his shoulder with a tape on its mouth. The mini Ryohei looked depressed.
"Yare, yare everyone's mini self is so uncool." Lambo stated and Tsuna realized he almost forgot about the small Bovino who had kept quiet to watch the amusing show. On his hands was the small form of himself who was looking around nervously.
"Yeah right stupid cow, I bet out of all of us yours is the most uncool." Gokudera said with a smirk. "Tell us your secret!" He ordered the mini Lambo.
"It's useless, Ore-sama has no secret-"
"I accidentally wet my bed last week after Reborn's harsh training and when I think I'm alone I often cry myself to sleep when I think about my childhood-" The small Lambo's mouth was so fast that the original 15-year-old Lambo was barely able to cover its mouth before he exposed more of his secrets.
"Aha!" Gokudera said as he took the small form of himself from his head. The small Gokudera was gleefully dancing in his arms.
"That's so unfair Gokudera-shi!" Lambo complained as he continued to cover the mouth of his counterpart. "I'm sure even you have a secret!"
"Ha! I have no secret that jyuudaime doesn't know about!" Gokudera said proudly and Lambo and Tsuna sweat dropped.
"If that's true then why are you holding down mini Gokudera-shi like that?' Lambo asked. And true enough, Gokudera had squeezed his mini self to his chest with a hand on his mouth.
"So EXTREME! What are you hiding from us Gokudera!" Ryohei said as he rushed forward and grabbed the mini Gokudera from the original one.
"Oi turf top-!"
The mini Gokudera took a deep breath as everyone turned to look at him. "I secretly have a shrine of jyuudaime in a secret compartment of my closet! I know every little secret jyuudaime has! Like one time when he was infected by the skull disease he-!"
"HIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!' Tsuna said as he grabbed the mini Gokudera and covered his mouth. "That's my secret you're exposing not Gokudera-kun's!"
"Jyuudaime gomenasai!"
"Wow, I never knew Octopus head was so creepy that he actually made a shrine for Sawada!" Ryohei stated but then his mini self, whose tape on the mouth became loosened at the event, began to talk as he jumped away to avoid capture.
"Like I'm the one to talk! When I was younger I used to own a telescope in my room and used it to spy on the people who were secretly stalking my sister! One time I saw Sawada-!" Mini Ryohei was suddenly grabbed by Tsuna whose face was flaming from embarrassment.
"What's with you guys revealing my secrets!" Tsuna stated and on his shoulder his mini self was covering his own face.
"Oya, I guess it's not much of a secret if some other people knew." Mukuro said referring to Ryohei and Gokudera. "You should just let them continue Sawada Tsunayoshi."
"Like I would!" Tsuna shouted to the amused Mukuro. The brunet lost grip of the two one-feet tall versions of his sun and storm guardians.
"Also I'm secretly a masochist that's why I like hitting my head on the floor when apologizing!" Mini Gokudera ran while waving his cute hands around.
"I also found out in the future that I'm going to get married to-!" Mini Ryohei said but original Ryohei was too fast for him.
"GAH! EXTREMELY SHUT UP!" Ryohei said with a blushing face.
"Oya, isn't this intriguing?" Mukuro said as he carried the beaten up form of himself to the couch where Chrome was at.
Gokudera, who had stood up the moment his mini self escaped from Tsuna, was finally able to capture his counterpart and he sighed before he looked up and realized he was in front of Yamamoto and his strangely sulky mini self.
A mischievous glint shone in those green eyes.
To be continued…
Author's note: What is Gokudera up to? Will the guardians' secrets be revealed? How long until those mini versions of them disappear? Review if you want to know! Until next time!
Sneak Peek…
Original Yamamoto laughed and said, "I like milk!"
"Moron, that's not a secret!" Gokudera scowled at his fellow guardian.
"Actually, I'm sick of milk." Mini Yamamoto said and Gokudera looked down in surprise.
What? The bomber thought.
"And right now, I'm actually cleverly thinking of a way to avoid your question and not expose my greatest secret." Mini Yamamoto continued and the guardians looked up stunned at the original innocent guardian's smiling face.
This was so unexpected.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
