Author's Note: I have always wondered what Jiro would be like if he was a kid. I decided that he was a normal child so I chose to write about the next best thing. Yes it's the famous turn the main character into a child trick. I was inspired mostly by the fan fiction Unbelievable, so read that one and enjoy the fic it inspired.
Disclaimer: I do not own Black Blood Brothers for if I did I would have it be longer and have some OVAs by now.
Jiro Mochizuki felt pain, a burning and persistant pain. What's causing this pain you ask. Well, its the source of life for humans, plants, and animals. Yes its the precious orb of light in the middle of the solar system Earth is a part of known as the Sun. Jiro felt his entire body steam and burn underneath the harsh rays, silently wishing that the day would end and night would come so he could put his cumbersome umbrella away and enjoy life. He despized having to wait outside, but atleast Mimiko and Kotaro were with him. Jiro's younger brother Kotaro was happily chatting with Mimiko while the trio waited for the shop to open. Jiro sighed as he remembered the fiasco this morning.
Jiro was happily sleeping as the sun rose steadily. His rythmic breathing was barely heard and his slumber was peaceful until he heard a horrible sound. It was the sound of Nyan Cat playing on the phone he was forced to get by Mimiko and unfortunately for him Kotaro knew how to use it and made Jiro's ringtone so annoying Jiro felt like smashing the piece of plastic against the wall. He sat up and answered the stupid thing to get the annoying song to stop.
"Hello? This is Jiro speaking," Jiro said sleepily as he rubbed his tired, gray eyes.
"Jiro-nii-san! Its me Bluefire, listen I need you get over to the shop asap. Its really important," a young voice replied as Jiro held the phone the way Mimiko taught him to.
"What the hell's so important that you felt the need to disturb my sleep?" Jiro asked angrily as he got out of bed.
"I found something really cool and you really need to see it. It might help you with your nightmares," Bluefire replied as Jiro heard her shuffle her feet against the wood floor of her shop.
"Fine, I'll come, but only to see what you have. Thats it and that means no making me turn into a winged mermaid or something girly like that," Jiro spat as his fists clenched.
"Okay, but you just gave me ideas about new products to make. Afterall, I want to make my clients happy," Bluefire chirpped happily as Jiro heard her clap her hands over the phone.
Jiro was about to leave when he heard the door open. The three turned to face a young blonde girl in a long black dress and a black witch hat.
"Hi guys, how are you?" The girl asked as she stepped aside to let them in.
"Really good Sister. Do you really have something that'll help Brother?" Kotaro replied as he sat on the soft blue loveseat in the corner of the front of the shop.
"Yup, I just found it yesterday and decided that it couldn't hurt to try it out. Besides I want to help Jiro-nii-san as much as the rest of you do," the girl said as she pulled a vial from underneath the black counter.
"Bluefire-chan, are you sure this will work. I mean I could wait until we know for sure what is causing my nightmares," Jiro said as he sat next to Kotaro.
"Jiro-nii-san, I can feel what's wrong and I feel that its either this or you go to a therapist about it, but I know how you feel about therapy so please just try it," Bluefire pleaded as she pulled a spoon out of her pocket. Jiro looked into her eyes and knew she was right. He always despised the thought of therapy and the methods used in therapy. He knew that if he went that he would be deemed crazy and locked away for a very long time. He shook the thoughts away as he walked up to Bluefire.
"Only one spoonful for now until we know its effects on you. If nothing happens then we continue using it, but if something happens then we'll find another cure to try," Bluefire said as she poured some of the sweet smelling reddish-pink liquid into the spoon. Jiro drank it off the spoon as Bluefire held it for him. It burned slightly as it went down his throat, but it tasted so sweet that Jiro didn't mind it. He smiled at Bluefire and took the glass of water gently from her hands. He drank it in two gulps and handed it back to her carefully.
"I feel kinda warm and fuzzy on the inside, but its not a dizzy feeling. Its more of a feeling that makes me want to hug someone," Jiro said as he sat back down next to Kotaro and Mimiko.
"Don't worry, that's only temporary and it'll pass over time. Just call me if you feel, think, act, or look differently ok," Bluefire said with a smile as she opened the front door for the three. She had a feeling that some hardships were instore for Jiro and Mimiko, but she was confident that they could handle whatever the medicine would throw at them.
Jiro, Mimiko, and Kotaro were walking back to their warehouse turned loft in slightly high spirits. They were glad that this could cure Jiro's frequent nightmares, but Mimiko and Jiro were both worried about the side effects of the medicine.
"Brother are you okay? You seem alittle different," Kotaro asked as he looked at Jiro. Jiro looked back at Kotaro while he tightened his belt a bit. It seemed abit loose on him, which was very odd seeing as how he had worn the smame belt for eighty years now. Jiro looked down at himself and realized that his sleeves were slightly longer on him than earlier. He did the only thing he could think of right now. He ran.
Author's Note: As some of you may notice my fanfics generally are centered around Jiro. This is because I really like writing about Jiro because he is very unpredictable and I just adore anime guys that have emotional problems. You also may notice the return of my OC Bluefire. Well, it will be revealed later in Love Between Red and Black why she is owning a magic shop.
