Zaira leaned back, adjusted her reading glasses and continued reading her law book. She had an important case next week and did not want to lose. Suddenly her phone started vibrating. She picked it up and looked at the message. It was a text from Genda.
Genda K.
JELP EMEGENXY
Her eyes widened. Not only was it short, but it was also full of typos, like it had been written by a kid. She grabbed her keys and revved up her motorbike and started driving to Genda's apartment. As soon as she got there, she quickly picked up the emergency copy of keys hidden beneath the door mat and unlocked the door hastily and slammed the door open.
"Koh!" she yelled, "Where are you?!"
"I'm right here!" said a kid with spiky hair, blue-grey eyes, and orange stripes under his eyes. He was wearing a black T-shirt and baggy pants. Yes, Genda had been turned into a kid.
"Oh hey kid," Said Zaira, not paying attention, "Have you seen my hysterical boyfriend?"
Genda junior smacked his forehead. That's when Zaira actually got a glimpse of him.
"Wait what?!" said a baffled Zaira. "What happened?!" She asked her now bite-sized boyfriend.
Genda just shrugged. Zaira quickly recovered.
"Either way, I'm not leaving you here. You could hurt yourself!"
"Excuse me?" Genda raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, look at you! Even the couch is taller than you! And what kind of person would I be if I left a five year old in an apartment full of things like knives?!" protested Zaira.
"Fair enough," said Genda.
Ten minutes later, they were back safely in Zaira's apartment. Zaira was reading her book and Genda was watching a cartoon. Then someone started ringing the door. Zaira sighed and put down her book. It was as if all the forces of nature didn't want her to study. She answered. And it turned to be her brother, or rather, sister.
"Jirou! What happened?"
Sakuma just shrugged and handed her a small bundle, a bag of groceries and a bar of chocolate. She put the bundle on the couch, and dumped the chocolate and the groceries in the kitchen. Then she dragged her brother in.
"Okay, what happened?"
Sakuma opened his mouth to respond, but Zaira cut him off.
"Wait, let me guess. You got a plastic surgery and went to the orphanage."
"Wrong," said a smirking Sakuma. "Some kind of random genetic mutation thingy. I don't really know."
But Zaira wasn't listening. Instead, she was unwrapping the bundle.
"KIDOU?!"
