I own neither Naruto or Katekyo Hitman Reborn. I cry about it every night.

If you were to ask anybody in the town of Namimori, Japan, what they thought of Sawada Nana, they would reply without hesitation that she was the kindest, but also the most airheaded, person in the world. Ask them about her son Tsunayoshi, and you would get slightly more varied answers. Most would assure you that he is nothing but a dame, without a single redeeming quality to his name. Some would claim that he was a pervert, as they had seen him a few times around town without clothes. A select few people, however, would say that he is an amazing person, kind, forgiving, and strong. A Sky, if you will.

None of those people know who they really are. The truth was about to come out, though, and the backlash is going to be huge. But hey, everyone knows that destruction follows a certain orange fox.

Sawada Nana was content.

Her house was full of rowdy boys, and she liked it that way. Cooking for so many people reminded her of home. Spending hours in the kitchen with her aunts and cousins preparing food for 'The Horde', as they used to call them. Cooking for just one person, as she had for her Tsu-kun for so many years, felt….empty.

Her husband was never home, and despite what he thought she knew that he wasn't a construction worker. What kind of construction worker comes home with blood on his clothes and smelling of gunpowder? And no construction worker would be in Italy for years at a time, and send his family a picture of himself at the north pole.

…..No one with common sense would do that actually.

But even without her beloved Iemitsu, she had her Tsu-kun, and he brought life back into their home in the way of his friends. There was the sound of children laughing, and teenagers talking, and even with all of the explosions and property damage, it was better than the silence.

This morning, as was becoming routine, she had a kitchen full of boys. Reborn, who she knew without a doubt was not really a baby, sat at the head of the table drinking an espresso, a smirk on his chibi little face. He was plotting something, but then her Tsu-kun was sixteen already, he could handle it.

Gokudera Hayato was attempting to strangle poor little Lambo-chan, the tiny Bovino crying and screaming and whipping grenades out of his hair to launch at the silverette. Yamamoto Takeshi just laughed from the sidelines as Sasagawa Ryohei cheered them on.

Dokuro Chrome just shyly smiled and hid behind Rokudo Mukuro, her…...something(brother? cousin? master? organ donor?), who was cackling with a sadistic grin on his face. My, was that face ever nostalgic! Her best friend growing up had smiled like that when she got apprenticed to the T & I Division. Anko was so happy that day.

Hibari Kyoya stood off to the side, like always, his face set in boredom. But she knew that he enjoyed it here, why else would he keep coming back? Though part of the reason he could be uncomfortable might be that Dino-kun, currently feeding lettuce to his turtle Enzio, was visiting. And of course, that meant all of his men were there too. Poor Kyoya must really be itching to go kill something with all the crowding that's going on.

Seriously though, even if she was as vacant as she portrayed herself to be, she would still notice when there were suddenly a hundred intimidating men in suits lurking outside of her house. It was an insult to dim women everywhere that they thought so lowly of them.

Sometimes her house was lonely, like when Reborn takes Tsu-kun and his Guardians(Which she finds cute, and is constantly reminded of Asuma-senpai who left the village to serve the Daimyo. She's heard that he returned, and even took up a genin team) out to train. Or when they randomly fly out to Italy for meetings and such, and she only finds out a few hours later when her son finds the time to hide in a bathroom to phone and tell her what's happening.

Still though, she really has nothing to complain about. Her life was better than many.

She was content.

But not happy.

As far as she was concerned, she could never be truly happy until the seal on her powers was removed. It felt like there was a hole in her soul where the warmth of her chakra used to be. Worse than that, she knew they were there, just out of reach, torturing her everyday with just how close they were.

She had been cold for seventeen years.

Nana shuffled through the mail that Takeshi-kun had kindly gotten for her. Scooping up Lambo-chan with one arm and plopping the screaming seven year old back in his chair, she walked over to the state-of-the-art coffee maker, courtesy of Reborn.

Bill. Jury duty. Postcard. Bill. Notice of property damage(they destroyed an entire city block this time). Bill. Letter from Naruto. Bill. Bill. Holy crap there are a lot of bills. Well it's to be expected what with…..wait!

She fumbled with the mail in her haste to get back to the orange coloured paper. Yup, there it was, clear as day. Uzumaki Naruto. Nana tore open the letter, pulled out the paper(also orange) and read it desperately. The rest of the mail fluttered to the floor.

The boys at the table looked up at her in confusion when they heard the mail hit the floor, which soon turned to worry when they saw just how frantic she was. She tore her eyes from the letter and screamed, "TSUNA!" at the top of her lungs. Now the boys were really worried, Nana never called her son by his(almost) full name.

Tsuna apparently caught this too,as he came barreling down the stairs at full tilt, with grace that not even Reborn knew he possessed. Reborn had been training him for the better part of two years, and though he had gotten a lot better, he was nowhere near this good.

"What is it, Kaa-san?" Tsuna asked in a serious voice that the group again didn't know he had, which annoyed Reborn to no end. He was the World's Greatest Hitman. He knew everything!

Nana passed him the letter, and Tsuna's eyes zoomed over it faster than he ever had reading Japanese. Which made him wonder what language it was. Before he could ask, Tsuna broke into a face-splitting smile, and lurched forward to grab his mother's hands.

"They won!" he practically screamed, over and over again. Nana joined in on the chant, and soon the two were spinnin around the kitchen in jubilation.

After a few minutes of this, the two stopped twirling finally, to the relief of the Guardians, baby hitman, and boss of the Cavallone Famiglia. They were starting to get really weirded out.

"Tsu-kun, go change the sheets on the bed. I'll start making ramen," Nana commanded.

"Is Naruto sleeping in your bed again?" Tsuna asked, already knowing the answer.

Nana snorted. "Of course."

"When-"

"Tomorrow." Nana interrupts. Tsuna beams and races for the stairs.

Meanwhile, the table is silent. "Does anyone else know what the hell just happened?" Hayato questions he asks the room at large. He's met with negatives. Reborn is busy glaring at the orange paper he picked up off the floor. The writing looks similar to kanji, but also like nothing he's ever seen. In short, he can't read it.

"Mama," Lambo suddenly blurts out, "who's Naruto?"

Nana looks startled for a moment, holding monster sized pot, as if she had forgotten they were there, then smiles blissfully at the boys. "Someone I love with all my heart."

Reborn grabs his phone and leaves the room, dialing Iemitsu.

-Click-

"Cia-"

"Baka-Iemitsu, do you know someone named Naruto?"

"...no. Hello to you too." He grumbles.

"Well your wife was just about crying in joy when she got his letter, which she never does for yours I should add, and sent your son to change the sheets on her bed because that's where he will be sleeping."

Iemitsu is silent, and Reborn graciously gives him a moment to comprehend this. It sounds as if his wife is cheating on him, and by the reaction, it seems that Tsuna doesn't mind.

Feeling the killing intent on the other side of the phone, Reborn deems it safe to continue. "The letter was written in something similar but different to Japanese that I can't read, and your wife is cooking an insane amount of ramen. He arrives tomorrow."

With that Reborn hung up, knowing that Iemitsu would be on the next fight out of Italy.

He's thankful Dino is here visiting, he doubts his ability to hold Iemitsu down by himself when he decides to rip that man limb from limb.

Far away, a person wearing an impressive coat with the characters for Hokage on the back smiled wickedly from behind a desk, looking out a window to the mountain with six faces carved into the side. The person laughs wickedly, causing th ANBU stationed in the room to start sweating and planning to book the next month off of work, hoping to avoid whatever crazy scheme their insane leader was no doubt plotting.

Look out world. Here comes trouble.

Bright and early the next day Tsuna was practically vibrating in his seat from excitement. His friends were trying to wheedle information out of him, but he just smiled at them and told them to wait.

A knock came at the door, and Tsuna surprisingly didn't jump up to get it. "Tsu-kun get the door please," Nana said from the kitchen, where she was buried up to her chest in enough pots of ramen to feed both an army and the entire homeless population of Los Angeles.

"But it's not Naruto." Tsuna whined, pulling himself sullenly to his feet and going to answer the door. Opening it, he sees it's none other that his father, clad in his construction uniform.

"Oh, my adorable little Tuna-fish! How I've-" Iemitsu started, but cut off when he saw the unimpressed look his son was giving him. Tsuna turned around and walked away, leaving the door open for Iemitsu to follow.

"Kaa-san, Iemitsu is here!' Tsuna yelled, effectively breaking his father's heart into a million pieces.

"Iemitsu?!" Nana squealed, sprinting out of the kitchen and into the arms of her husband. She, of course, notices the odd coldness in his eyes but says nothing, keeping up her persona of ditzy housewife. "I missed you so much anata!"

"Me too my beautiful Nana-chan!" Tsuna rolled his eyes at his parent's sappy-ness, and proceeded back to his seat at the table. After a couple minutes of disgusting(in his opinion) 'catching up' by his parents, Nana followed suit and scurried back to the kitchen to stir the ramen.

"So, Nana," Iemitsu begins casually, or at least he thinks so, but Nana and Tsuna see right through it and again wonder what's up with him, "who's all the ramen for?"

"Naruto," Nana answers easily, and Iemitsu seemed surprised.

"Who?"

Nana turns around with a perplexed look on her face. "Did I never tell you about Naruto?"

The whole room mirrors Iemitsu's thoughts, 'how can she be so open about her affair?' Reborn turns to Tsuna and quietly asks, "Dame-Tsuna, why is Mama so open about cheating on Iemitsu?" Tsuna looks startled.

"Cheating? With who?"

"With that Naruto man."

Tsuna blinks a few times as he computes this, then breaks out laughing, drawing the attention of the entire room. "M-m-mama with N-naruto? Cheating? AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nana catches on and starts to giggle.

"Me and Naruto? That would never happen."

Nobody notices when the window opens, but everyone notices when a voice says, "I wouldn't be so sure, Nana-nee. You are pretty hot."

"Naru!" Tsuna exclaims, jumping up and hugging the figure. The decidedly female figure. "I missed you, Naru-nee!"

…...well shit. Now they all felt like idiots.

Like? Hate? Want to kill me so I can never write another chapter? I take flames as constructive criticism so feel free.
