Rikkai in Wonderland
Marui sat under the cherry blossom tree with his hands resting behind his head. He was once again slacking off from his tennis duties. He blew a bubble and it popped with an annoying smack. The days had been growing longer Sanada was becoming more cranky and Yukimura, well Yukimura would always be Yukimura. Marui shivered at the thought of getting caught by either one of those tyrants.
'Meow'
Marui shot up at the sound of a cat. He looked down to see on his lap a little white cat with brown paws and a brown face to match. If he hadn't known any better he would have through the poor creature had fallen face first into the mud or something. He picked up the creature and started at it pensively.
"You're that Echizen brat's cat aren't you?" Marui question as he placed the cat down next to him and began to scratch behind his ear. "Now what was you name again?"
Marui thought for a moment before he spoke, "Hairpin? Mada mada dane? No wait that was his stupid catch phrase. . . nevermind."
Marui contently played with Karupin until something in the corner of his eye caught his attention. He stared dumbfounding at Jackal wearing . . .rabbit ear? Marui clenched his stomach and rolled laughing so hard tears threatened to spill from his eyes.
"Oi oi Jackal! What's with the get up?" Marui asked. His question went unanswered as he noticed Jackal was not only sporting a pair of rabbit ears on his shaven head. But a forest green suit like coat with white undershirt and black slacks. Clutched in his white-gloved hand was a large golden pocket watch.
"I'm late! I'm late! I'm late! The Queen will have my head for sure!" Rabbit eared Jackal chanted over and over again as he began to run in the direction of the clubroom.
"Hey wait up Jackal!" He said stifling a laugh as he quickly got up and ran to catch up to his weirdly dressed doubles partner. Jackal was definitely in a rush, not even hearing Marui's cries to wait up. The tensai even used "please."
The clubroom slamming behind Jackal's back, Marui simply grunted and grasped the handle; turning the knob flung the door open as he ran in. A loud yelp left his lips as he felt his stomach jump into his throat from the absence of what would usually be A FLOOR!
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" Marui screamed as his arms flailed in what seemed to be a flapping motion. Hopelessly Marui clenched his eyes shut hoping it was all a dream. When he re-opened them he was still free falling. Though it wasn't so dark anymore, it was dimly lit and Marui could see a floor below him.
"What the hell!!" He shouted angrily as he angrily yanked at his new clothes that he magically be placed on him. That was it, he was officially dreaming. Marui stared disgusted at the baby blue baby doll dress he wore with a half apron tied around his waist. Marui literally was on the verge of ripping his candy apple red hair out of his head. At that rate he's look like Jackal in the end. Grasping his red locks he noticed he even sported a baby blue headdress with the trim laced with lace.
He slapped himself light on his cheek, feeling a slight sting; Marui threw out the idea of his sleeping. Marui just now slowly floated down and landed on the floor; blowing a bubble and popping it still not amused. He was now starting to accept his new theory that Niou had hypnotized him at some point today.
As he surveyed his new surroundings, the floors were checkered white and green. It reminded him slightly of a tennis court. Oh crap. Tennis practice, true he was slacking but he didn't plan on skipping it completely. He'd get one hell of a punishment if he ever got back to Rikkaidai. He could try to tell the truth though he didn't think Sanada or Yukimura would buy into the idea of a rabbit eared Jackal leading him into the clubroom were he fell down what seemed like a bottomless pit into this strange room.
He sighed and noticed a door at the end of the room. As he approached it he noticed it was really tiny. Not even that wonder chibi from Seigaku could fit into that door. Marui sat cross-legged in front of the door staring at it.
"Man how am I going to get out of here?" Marui asked himself frustrated. And there was NO way in hell he was going to attempt to climb out the way he fell in.
"Yudan Sezu ni Ikou!"
Marui whipped his head around to find that voice which sounded eerily like Seigaku's captain.
"Yudan Sezu ni Ikou!"
Marui looked down towards the door to see a tiny Tezuka Kunimitsu with his arms crossed at his chest looking up at Marui intently.
"So I'm not going crazy," Marui said to himself as he picked up chibi Tezuka by the back of his uniform jacket.
"Oi oi! Put me down!" Tezuka said angrily.
"Or what Tezuka?" Marui asked not threatened by the pint sized Seigaku buchou.
Tezuka just looked up dumbfounded at Marui. "I am indeed Tezuka the door guardian. Now put me down."
Marui blew a bubble annoyed and set him down, "So that explains why you're so small."
Tezuka frowned, "I am not small. For you see I am the perfect size to go through the door, you my dress wearing friend are simply too big."
"Well how do I get through the door?" Marui raised a brow.
"Have you tried drinking the bottle that says 'Drink Me'" Tezuka suggested pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
"There was no bottle. . . " Marui turned his head back only to see a glass table with a glass bottle sitting carelessly on the table with a note that did indeed say "Drink Me." Annoyed that the little stony-faced jerk. Hosting himself up he walked over to the glass table. Suspiciously he examined the table and bottle that came out of thin air.
Marui was never one to be cautious of food, deciding if it was truly the only way to go through the door. He shrugged his shoulder and popped the cork off the bottle and took one large swig of the drink gulping it down all at once.
"Well that did- hic!" Marui felt the room get increasingly larger with every hic up he let up. When his hic ups ceased he looked up to see the glass table towering over him. He walked back to the door and now had to look up towards Tezuka.
"So let me through," Marui said as he tried to turn the knob on the door, to his dismay it was still locked tight.
"Didn't you grab the key?" Tezuka asked Marui looking at as he angrily tried to open the door.
"WHAT KEY!" Marui shouted and stomped his feet angrily.
"YUDAN SEZU NI IKOU!" Tezuka pointed back up to the table where a key suddenly dropped out of thin air onto the table with a loud clank.
"You're kidding me!" Marui was about ready to strangle the taller boy, "Just HOW am I going to get up there?"
"Why not eat the cake that says 'Eat Me'" Tezuka suggested holding out a cake that look simply delectable to Marui. Pink frosting that wrote out "Eat Me."
"Don't eat all-" Tezuka's words were unheard by Marui as he greedily yanked the piece of cake from Tezuka' hands and hungrily ate it all in a few massive bites. Marui sat down and patted his belly with a gleeful smile on his face.
"I may not be any bigger but that cake was sure yummy," Marui said still smiling. Marui began to feel a little sick. Placing his hands over his mouth he stared bewildered as he ripped his hands away from his mouth and saw his hands had doubled in size. Like a rocket he shot up.
"Ouch!" Marui cried as his head hit the ceiling of the room. Marui looked down, Tezuka looked like a dust spec from his height. He was cramped in the space of the room. His knees against his chest, one hand against the ceiling trying create more room for his head, while his other free hand adjusted his troublesome dress.
Marui blew a bubble and a loud pop echoed through out the room. Tezuka clammed his hands over his ears from the loud ear piecing sounds. Marui grinned, some revenge was sweet.
He leaned over a little and picked up the tiny key and placed it next to Tezuka. "Now I expect that key to be there when I get smaller again!"
Tezuka just held the key un-amused, Marui made it out to be his fault he didn't see the table or the key and he ate the cake and now was a freak-ishly huge dress wearing red head who was addicted to bubble gum.
"Yudan Sezu ni –"
"I get it!!" Marui shouted as he tried to figure out a way to shirk back to well normal size. "Hey do you think you can make another of those drinks fall from thin air?"
Tezuka sighed before he spoke, "Why not try the chest of cookies."
Marui didn't question it, he knew once he said something it would appear out of no where. He looked in the small corner that was free and there sat a lacquer box. With his finger he flipped it up to be greeted it by ever single colored cookie you can think of.
"Don't eat it all!" Tezuka warned forehand before the red head sweets addict would shut him out.
Marui picked up the full cookie, which felt like a large crumb in his fingers. He took the tiniest bite out of the cookie he could manage. Marui felt the effects immediately as his head no longer touched the ceiling of the strange room and he could see his legs shrink along with the rest of his body.
When he reached his "normal" height of what was now 3 inches high Marui smiled triumphantly to himself. "Dou tensai teki?"
Tezuka didn't even bother as he placed the key in the lock hole and turned it unlocking the door. Marui heard a satisfying low click signaling his freedom from crazy foods, magical items that pop out of no where and that stony-faced Tezuka.
Marui swung open the door and ran in with an extra bounce in his step. He heard Tezuka's last words of "Yudan Sezu ni Ikou!"
Marui ignored and continued to run until déjà vu struck as he felt himself free falling. His falling ended with a cold impact of water and a loud "SPLASH!"
