Don't have anything to say, so enjoy the first chapter!

Kagura was walking through the streets of Edo, at night. Her umbrella was closed, and she set the side of it on her right shoulder.

She gave out a whistle as she thought in song, Someday I'll kill that sadist~ Someday he'll be my slave~ Someday he'll be a masochist like Sa-Chan~

An evil grin crept up her face as she chewed on her favorite snack. You didn't have to guess that it was sukonbu, because she eats that crap 24/7.

Anyway, as she was starting to skip down the streets, she heard a low chuckle. This caused her to stop walking completely, and her eyes widened at that tone of voice.

When the chuckle was heard again, she raised a brow, wondering whose voice it could be. She didn't think it was Shinsuke Takasugi, because she and the rest of the Yorozuya knew that he and his crew left Edo. She didn't think it was her brother either, because the voice was too deep to be his'.

Kagura continued to have her brow raised up. Another chuckle was heard by the Yato, and she clenched her teeth slightly, exclaimed, "Alright, who's there?! Are you trying to scare me?! Because if you are, it's not working!"

No answer.

This was starting to anger Kagura. She gripped onto the handle of her umbrella with her fist, and suddenly dashed into an alleyway. She thought once more, I bet some asshole is trying to hide in this alleyway, uh-huh!

When she entered the dark alleyway, she stopped, and looked straight ahead. She didn't see anybody. Kagura turned her head to the side, and looked at a garbage can. She glared at it before kicking it to the ground. The lid fell off, and it turned out nobody was in there.

Kagura puffed up her cheeks as she clenched her fist. She yelled, "ALRIGHT, THIS ISN'T FUNNY, SADIST! COME OUT NOW, OR I'LL SHOOT YOUR BALLS OFF!"

The laughing person finally began to speak normally, only it said, "Little girl, my name is not 'sadist'. In fact, I'm not a sadist at all."

The person approached himself in front of the Yato, and as soon as Kagura saw him/her completely, she raised a brow yet again.

This person was definitively not familiar to her. Hell, this person didn't even look like he/she was from Edo!

Kagura questioned, "If you're not sadist, then who are you?"

She found out that it was a guy, who was wearing a suit, tie, pants, and shoes. He was actually wearing all white, because apparently, white was his favorite color. He also wore fake wings, and had choppy brown hair, with a white mask covering part of his face. Although there was a mask, Kagura could see his eyes perfectly, and noticed that his eyes were white, possibly because white is so bright.

The man chuckled yet again as he answered, "Who am I, you ask? Well, I won't tell you my real name, but you may call me…Rattle." He pulled out a big item, which looked exactly like a rattle. The rattle looked so big, that it looked big enough to belong to a giant baby. Okay, maybe that didn't make sense, but you get the idea.

Kagura began to laugh out loud, and exclaimed, "Rattle?! What kind of a stupid name is that?! Are you wanting to be a baby again or something?! Buahahahaha!"

When Kagura didn't stop laughing, Rattle (You know, it really is a stupid name! Haha!) glared at her, and exclaimed, "Don't insult my name, little girl!"

Kagura soon calmed down, but wiped her eye with her fist, since water was starting to form in her eyes, due to how hard she was laughing.

Rattle continued, "But anyway, I've been traveling all over Japan, just to see who would take my advice."

"What advice?" Kagura asked as she began to pick her nose. "And why're you wearing those weird clothes, plus fake wings? You look gay in them, uh-huh."

An anger mark was on his face, and he replied loudly, "Don't ever call them gay! They're absolutely flawless!"

Kagura rolled her eyes as she pulled her finger out of her nose. She thought, This guy's a douchebag, uh-huh.

Rattle smirked, and pointed the tip of his rattle in front of Kagura. He muttered in a low tone, "As I was saying, my advice is that you don't ignore me, otherwise there'll be consequences."

"What kind of consequences? Surely, you can't kill me. I'm a badass Yato, uh-huh."

"No, I'm not going to kill you. Actually, I don't like killing anyone. But you still need to do what I tell you to do."

"And who said you could boss me around? Only Gin-Chan can tell me what to do or not do. Then again, I don't like it when he bosses me around, either!"

Rattle rolled his eyes. "Just follow me, and there won't be any problems."

As soon as those words came out of his mouth, Kagura could feel an aura from this man. And this aura wasn't a good one. A drop of sweat rolled down her cheek as she blinked at the man.

Rattle was smirking at her, but Kagura took a step back, and replied, "No…I'm not going to follow you."

He frowned, "That was a quick answer. Why don't you want to follow me?"

"Because you're starting to creep me out, uh-huh!" She exclaimed while glaring at him.

His frown deepened, and he held his big rattle in both his hands. Rattle asked, "Are you sure you don't want to follow me?"

"Hell no! I can somehow sense your aura, and it's a bad one, uh-huh! Stay away from me, you pedophile!"

With that, she turned around, and started to run, but before she could run very far, Rattle clenched his teeth in anger, and gripped his item, growling, "You dare call me a pedophile? Alright, then. I'll show you what kind of person I really am!"

He raised the item above his head, and then swung it down, causing a beam to form on the tip of the rattle. It made that rattling sound, and in a split second, the beam was heading towards Kagura.

Kagura stopped once again, but swiftly turned around, seeing the beam heading straight towards her. She widened her blue eyes in shock, and didn't even have time to think.

The beam hit her whole body, and when Kagura felt it, it…was really strange. As she was struggling to get out of the beam, she felt her body shrinking.

What the hell is this?! Who is this creep?! Why is he doing this to me?!

Lots of questions were running through Kagura's head, but as she was shrinking even more, her mind began to fuzz. She wasn't thinking clearly anymore, and her hands landed on the top of her head as she dropped her umbrella.

She made a few sounds, but they were barely audible to hear.

Soon, she wasn't in her teenage body anymore. She was now in a much smaller figure, and the beaming finally stopped.

Rattle smirked at her yet again as he said, "You should've followed me." After that, he turned, and ran off.

Kagura didn't know what had happened to her. Actually, she didn't even remember what just happened.

All she knew was that she couldn't make out any words, or even stand up straight.

What the hell happened to Kagura?!

-Shinpachi's POV-

"Kagura-Chan! Kagura-Chan!" I called out Kagura's name, wondering if she would respond back. She didn't.

A sigh escaped my lips as I closed my eyes for a brief moment.

I told Kagura-Chan to come back before too long. Now, she's taking longer than I expected.

I pushed up my glasses a bit, rubbing my eyes with my fingers. I opened my eyes again, and continued walking through the street. I really wanted to find Kagura, because if she didn't come home soon, I'd start to worry her. Gin-San would worry as well, only you wouldn't be able to notice it.

I looked both ways, seeing if Kagura was in any alleyways. Frowning, I thought, Where is she? I hope she hasn't been kidnapped. Well, actually, she'd be able to get out of her kidnapping, since she is strong.

When I didn't stop turning my head side to side, I suddenly heard a quiet, yet hearable, sound. I stopped walking, and raised my brow, thinking yet again, What was that noise?

I heard the sound again, only it sounded…like a baby. My eyes widened.

Is there a baby in one of the alleyways? Because I can hear it from one of them.

Out of curiosity, I decided to go into one of the alleyways, and see if there really was a baby. I was actually hoping it wouldn't be a baby, because otherwise I would think it was abandoned.

As soon as I entered the alleyway, I saw a pair of clothes on the ground. My eyes blinked in confusion, but I soon realized that these clothes belonged to Kagura! My jaw dropped as I also saw a bulge in the clothes. And the bulge was moving, as if someone was trapped in there.

I hesitantly took a few steps forward, and reached my hand out, whispering, "K-Kagura-Chan?" There wasn't an answer, but I heard yet another sound.

A very small figure poked its hands out of the bottom of the shirt, and within seconds, the figure was exposed. And the figure really was an infant!

I stared at it in shock, seeing the baby's face. It had short, salmon-colored hair, and blue eyes. And since these clothes are Kagura's, there is no doubt that this baby…is Kagura herself!

She made a couple of baby noises as she looked up to me, furrowing her brows slightly. I furrowed my brows as well, but felt really lost.

I knelt on the ground, still staring at her. I asked her, "K-Kagura-Chan…i-is that really you?"

"Pao…" That was the only answer she gave me.

This wasn't a dream.

This was real. This really was Kagura.

As sweat was starting to form on my forehead, Kagura crawled out of her clothes, and crawled towards me. I blinked, finding out that she was naked from head-to-toe.

She crawled until her tiny hand touched my knee. She tried speaking, but only said, "Kyu…kyu…poah…"

My brows were still furrowed.

Kagura-Chan…what the heck happened to you? How in the hell did you get turned into a baby?!

"Pu…kyu…pa…"

A sigh escaped my lips, and I gently picked her small body up as I grabbed her clothes, her buns, and her umbrella. I said to myself, "I wonder how Gin-San will react when I bring Kagura-Chan home like this."

Although I couldn't understand at all how Kagura was transformed into a baby, I decided to not worry about it for now.

Without a second to spare, I dashed back towards Gin-San's place. I wanted to get back as fast as I could, that way I could tell Gin-San about this issue. Of course, he's probably going to say that this isn't Kagura, when it really is her.

Just as I was panting for breath, I ran up the stairs, and was soon back in Gin-San's house.

I accidentally slammed the door behind me, and gave out a yelp. Gin-San spun around in his spinning chair, and asked, "Oi, oi, haven't people told you to not slam the door?" Right after his question, he noticed that I was carrying a baby.

He widened his red eyes at me, and asked, "Shinpachi, weren't you looking for Kagura? What's with that baby? Did you kidnap it or something?"

"AS IF I WOULD KIDNAP A CHILD!" I yelled while knitting my brows.

Gin-San asked again, "Why're you carrying a baby, then? Surely, kids are hard to handle these days, especially when you're still a teenager."

Before I could let him go any further, I exclaimed, "Gin-San, this is Kagura-Chan! Didn't you see her clothes, her buns, and even her umbrella, in my hands?!"

He blinked, but looked like he didn't understand what I just told him. Gin-San slapped himself in the face, and asked the same question, "Why're you carrying a baby?"

I rolled my eyes with irritation, and I answered, "I just told you. This. Is. Kagura-Chan."

"Are you sure it's not Otae's baby? Because last time I checked, her stomach was as round as a beach ball."

"Wha- my sister never looked anything like that! Were you hallucinated or something?!"

"I wasn't hallucinated. She really was fat."

"When did this even happen?!"

"While you were dead."

"Okay, that's just mean!"

Kagura spoke up, "Pao…"

Gin-San raised a silver brow, and said while resting his cheek in his palm, "Hm, that does sound like Kagura-Chan. Her voice sounds like her childish tone."

I face-palmed myself, and muttered, "I swear, you're starting to be a pain in my neck."

"Why is Kagura-Chan a baby, anyway?"

"Oh, now you believe it's Kagura-Chan!"

"What? Can't I mess up your brain for once?"

"What do you mean for once?!" I deadpanned. "You always make stupid jokes, and it's mostly directed at me!"

"Calm down, Shinpachi," Gin-San said as he waved his hand up and down at me. "Someday, you're going to have to accept the fact that your glasses are also named Shinpachi."

I yelled again, "WHAT DOES MY GLASSES HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!"

He shrugged his shoulders, and changed the subject by saying, "Anyway, you still haven't answered my question. Why is Kagura-Chan a baby? Did some dude transform her in that form?"

I was finally able to calm down, but I responded in a quieter tone, "I'm not sure, Gin-San. I was searching for her, but I suddenly found her, in this form. And since she's turned into a baby, her clothes are too big for her to even wear."

He groaned as he lifted his head up, "Does this mean we're going to have to buy her baby clothes?"

I sighed, "Not just baby clothes. Until we find the person who did this, we're going to have to get diapers, baby food, and…I think that's it."

Gin-San buried his face into his hands, and grumbled, "Great, now we're going to have to deal with the smell of poo."

Another sigh escaped my lips, but I replied, "Kagura-Chan can't take care of herself; not while she's a baby."

Gin-San looked up at the ceiling, and shouted, "AUTHOR-SAN! YOU'RE WRITING THIS! WHO TURNED KAGURA INTO A USELESS BABY?!"

I was about to yell at him for calling Kagura a "useless baby", but the authors' voice from nowhere said, "I'm not allowed to answer that question."

"AND WHY NOT?!"

"Because if I were to tell you who did it right now, it would ruin the mood of the story."

"THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE! YOU'RE A HORRIBLE PERSON!"

"I know I am. Nobody likes me, anyway."

I widened my eyes, and exclaimed, "Gin-San didn't say that, Author-San! He's just mad because we don't know who caused this issue!"

Gin-San interrupted, "Author-San, how about you roll down the stairs, and cause yourself pain? That way you'll feel the pain I usually get from Tsukuyo stabbing me with her kunai's."

I frowned, "Gin-San, that's very rude of you. If the author were to roll down the stairs, she would break her back, and go to the hospital, where she wouldn't be able to write more of this story."

"Who cares?! Now I'm in the mood for strawberry milk!" He stood up, and walked over to the fridge, where he opened it up, and took out his carton of strawberry milk.

The author's voice sounded sad, because she said, "Perhaps I should go."

"Wait, Author-San!" I exclaimed, trying to cheer her up.

"What?"

"I think you write wonderfully."

"R-Really?" She questioned, sounding a bit embarrassed.

I half-smiled, "You might not be the best writer, but you're good with your grammar."

"Thanks, I guess." After her reply, her voice disappeared.

I walked into the living room, still carrying Kagura. When Gin-San came back, drinking his strawberry milk, he sat back down in his seat, with his feet on his desk.

He pulled the tip of the carton away from his lips, and then widened his eyes, exclaiming, "Oh, Shinpachi! I got an idea!"

"What is it?" I asked, getting a bad feeling for some reason.

Gin-San answered, "Instead of diapers, for Kagura's butt, she'll be wearing newspapers!"

"Why newspapers? They're not as useful as diapers."

"No, but using newspapers will save us some money, since it much cheaper than diapers."

He got up from his seat once again, only this time, he took Kagura away from me. But when he found out that Kagura was actually naked, he scrunched up his face, and exclaimed as he turned his head to the side, "Why the crap is Kagura-Chan naked?!"

I responded, "I told you, her clothes are too big for her to fit in."

"Jeez, I didn't know that even her underwear was too big for her! This is a disturbing sight!" I had a feeling Gin-San was overreacting.

I rolled my eyes as Gin-San turned around, setting Kagura on his desk. He crouched down, grabbing three sheets of newspapers from the floor, beside his JUMP. Gin-San then stood up in front of Kagura, and began to wrap the newspapers on her bottom.

Kagura pouted at what Gin-San was going, but of course, she only made those baby sounds.

"Kyu! Kyu! Pao! Gi!"

Gin-San somehow managed to finish wrapping the newspapers on Kagura in a matter of seconds. I blinked once, and walked towards them.

When I saw the so-called "diaper" on Kagura, I frowned, seeing that Kagura looked uncomfortable in it. She grabbed the top of the newspapers with her tiny hands, and started ripping it apart.

Gin-San yelped, "No! Don't start ripping the newspapers apart! I don't want to spend the money on diapers!"

As if on cue, there was a foul scent covering the room. We both scrunched up our faces, and held our noses with our hands. Gin-San yelled, "WHAT'S THAT SMELL?! DID SADAHARU CRAP IN THE LIVING ROOM AGAIN?!"

I looked over at Kagura's pet, but saw that he was sleeping. I said, "No, it's not Sadaharu. I think Kagura's made a mess in the newspapers."

"SERIOUSLY?! I JUST PUT THEM ON HER!"

Kagura suddenly began to cry, and landed her fists on her eyes.

"Waaaahhhh!" She cried as the stench became worse.

I glared at Gin-San, "GIN-SAN, TAKE THE NEWSPAPERS OFF OF KAGURA-CHAN! SHE OBVIOUSLY HATES THEM!"

"Dammit!" He complained, but picked Kagura up again. He held Kagura by the armpits, and because his hand was away from his nose, he gave the smell a disgusted expression. He asked me, "What am I supposed to do now?!"

"Take off the newspapers, like I said already! Don't you ever listen?!"

"Oh, I listen alright! And right now, I'm listening to a freaking dork!"

"OI!" I shouted.

Gin-San dashed into the kitchen, and quickly took the newspapers off of the Kagura's butt. He then tossed the stinky papers into the garbage can.

He panted for breath, and said as if he didn't have a choice, "Alright, fine, I'll give you some money, so that you can buy some baby stuff. Just don't buy any porn magazines."

"I'm not old enough to read those!" I exclaimed.

Gin-San took some money out of his pocket, and gave it to me. He motioned me to go, and told me, "Now be quick. I don't want to have to deal with Kagura all by myself."

I sighed for the umpteenth time, "I'll be back as soon as possible." With that being said, I turned my body around, and headed for the door. As soon as my sandals were on my feet, I opened up the door, and walked out of the house, now heading for the store.

We'll definitively find out who did this to Kagura, and when we do, we'll make sure he or she apologizes.

Just so you know, we won't be seeing Rattle again for a little while. XD And Rattle is supposed to be a stupid name for a human!

Anyway, I had this idea in my head, because I was inspired by a picture on Zerochan. Since I can't give you the full link (Which sucks ass), I'll tell you how you can find it. Go to Zerochan, and type in "Punchiki" (The artist), and go to the tenth page of it. Then you may be able to find it!

I was also a bit inspired by a Spongebob Squarepants episode titled "Goo Goo Gas".

As the summary says, there won't be any pairings in this. :P

That's all I have to say for now. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter of "Yato Toddler"! :)
