A/N: Well, Spanner did say that 'everyone and their dog' was in love with Nana, after all...

Also, just in case you ever wondered, the reason Spanner knew about Tsuna unknowingly forming a romantic online relationship with his mo, was because the same thing happened to him as a kid, and he figured that it tended to happen to every awkward young youth in life...

"Grrr...goddammit, Pikachu! Stop being so confused and use Thunder on the frickin' Charizard!!"

Tsuna's hate-fueled rant aimed towards his Pokemon Diamond game was suddenly interrupted when his cellphone began to ring. Sighing, the brown-haired boy put his game on paused and answered the phone.

"...Yeah?"

"Hey, Tsuna!" It was Yamamoto's voice on the other line.

"Oh, hey, Yamamoto! What's up?"

Yamamoto paused for a moment. "Well, uh...I was wondering if I could come over for a bit..."

"Huh? You want to hang out?"

"Actually, there's something I want to make sure of..."

"...Make sure of?"

"Yeah, so can I come...?"

"...Uh, okay...come on over..."

Yamamoto chuckled. "Thanks! I'm bringing Jiro over with me! See ya soon!" And with that, he hung up.

Tsuna sighed as he snapped his cellphone shut. "That guy," he muttered, "He's the only one who's actually treating his Box Animals like real pets...they're just weapons..."

"That's quite a cold-hearted thing for you to say, Tsuna." Reborn remarked. He was dressed in a similar fashion to Viewtiful Joe for no explicable reason.

Tsuna winced at the baby's words. "Yeah...you're right...they ARE animals, not weapons..."

"No, that's a good thing you just said, about them being only weapons. You're talking like a true mafia boss now."

"Ugh..."

Yamamoto and Jiro arrived about ten minutes later, having gone at a brisk running pace. The sword-wielding dog let out a pleasant bark upon seeing Tsuna opening the door for them. Yamamoto gave the shorter boy a pat on the shoulder, and grinned.

"Hey, Tsuna...is your mom here? I need her..."

Tsuna sighed, looking rather dejected. "Yeah...you and everyone else in this entire town...she's in the kitchen, okay?"

"Thanks!! C'mon, Jiro! We're gonna go see Nana-chan!"

Jiro immediately perked up upon hearing the name 'Nana-chan', and his fluffy tail wagged wildly back and forth as he followed Yamamoto into the kitchen. Wondering about just what it was that Yamamoto had planned, Tsuna walked close behind the two of them. Nana was sitting at the table, reading the paper, when they entered.

"Look! It's Nana-chan, Jiro! It's Nana-chan!!" Yamamoto exclaimed in a high-pitched voice, and the moment the dog caught sight of Nana, it made an immediate dash for her. Nana had barely looked up from the newspaper when the Akita Inu tackled her to the floor. Yamamoto sighed heavily in disappointment.

"...I knew it..."

"...Knew what?" Tsuna asked.

"Jiro is in love with your mom..."

"GAWD!!!"
