A/N: *Huggles readers* CHIBIS FOR EVERYONE! I'm glad that this time around we've had a better response than last time- the Chibi Files are now not only in bite-size pieces, but they're easier to digest, too, thanks to PLOT ADDITIVES! ^.^
In any case, read, review, enjoy.... :D
***********************************************************************
Sleep was the main agenda for the two college students that laid in the very messy dorm room. Saberpilot was curled up on a nearby blanket, making small murmur-like noises in her sleep. The other collgiate student, known as Shadow-chan, laid sprawled upon her bed, the only noises arising from her being minor "hmphs" every now and then.
Nicholas D. Wolfwood, also known as 'Wolfie-chan' to the two students, sat watching both the teenagers dream. He sighed, then reached for one of his infamous cigarettes, then swore quietly when he realized they'd been switched for candy ones.
Grumbling, he picked one out anyways and started to neb on it, finally realizing that Vash was nowhere nearby. Looking around, he saw a familiar red jacket, albeit chibified, laying next to the girl who called herself 'Saber'.
"Eh... never learn, do you, Needle Noggin?"
The blonde girl, Saber, didn't seem to mind his presence, however, snuggling beside him. He heard her mumble, and Wolfwood blinked. He couldn't have heard what he'd thought he had... could he?
"Vash-kun..."
The man in black scratched his head. Why would this girl... how the hell did they know them, anyways? As soon as they woke up, these Shadow and Saber were going to answer some questions.
Or else.
************************************************************************
"Where was I...?" Vash yawned as he stretched, awakening thanks to the light sunlight that was drifting into the room. "Wait a second..." He blinked, and rubbed his eyes, then looked around him. A blonde girl laid on the floor next to him, her breathing slightly shallow in nature.
For some reason, whenever he looked at her, he felt some sort of pull on his heart- as if something was trying to tell him that for all her tough exterior, she needed to be protected.
Vash shook his head, then looked at his hands. It... It'd been real. All of it. The girl, the other one- He looked towards a bed-like contraption, and saw brown hair strewn everywhere, then back towards his palms.
They were indeed, rather small. Seconds later, he felt something poking him on the shoulder. Vash turned to see Wolfwood... or rather, a very small version of Wolfwood, poking him on the shoulder.
"Wha-"
"Shh!" The priest said, putting a finger to his lips. The chibi man motioned to the Stampede to follow him, and the red-jacketed chibi did so, following him to a corner of the room where Wolfwood's punisher... or rather, chibi punisher, leaned against a chest of drawers.
"Well. We've got ourselves in a right mess, don't we?"
"How the hell should I know?" Vash asked, blinking. "I just- I just woke up and realized that this all actually happened!"
"Well, hello, Mr. Sunshine. Glad you could join us!" The chibi priest slapped the blonde in the back of the head. "Now what are we going to do about it?"
"Do about it?" Vash blinked, oblivious. He then scratched his chin and looked at Wolfwood. "I wasn't aware that there was anything we COULD do about this, Wolfwood. They obviously know who we are, and somehow were able to transport us... here... after turning us into... children?"
"I don't think we're children, Vash," Wolfwood pointed out, motioning to his candy cigarettes. "I heard one of them mention something about 'chibis' earlier. I'm assuming it's a smaller version of ourselves. But why the hell would they want to do this in the first place?"
Vash placed a chibified gloved hand to his chin. "I have no idea. But I do know one thing-" he said, turning to look back at the college student named Saber, "that one's pretty cute."
"Argh- Vash, stop thinking about a pretty face, and start thinking about our less-than-pretty future! I don't know about you, but I don't like being under a meter in height!"
"I'm sure they have a good reason for all this, Wolfwood. We just have to listen to it."
"You and your pacifistic ways..."
"They work, don't they?" Vash asked, standing up and heading back towards the blanket upon which Saber still laid asleep. He kneeled next to her and brushed a strand of strawberry blonde away from her face. "And besides, Wolfwood- they didn't really hurt us. Just hugged us, made us small... and kidnapped us. I'm sure they have a good reason, we just have to ask."
"Vash... pacifism will only work so good for so long," Wolfwood said, but was ignored by the blonde chibi.
"I'll say," Another voice agreed, and Wolfwood blinked, realizing that he was looking up into a set of hazel eyes. Shadow-chan, it seemed, had woken up during the last leg of their conversation. She smiled, and winked at the priest.
"But as for Vash's comment, I'd be more than happy to explain," she continued, stretching and cracking her neck. She then kneeled beside Vash and looked at the chibi who continued to stare at Saberpilot.
"You know... she's just as smitten with you."
"Whaa-?" Vash asked, his face turning beet red. He then punched himself in the face and laughed it off. "I have no idea what you're talking about! I was just making sure that this young lady Saber was safe while she was sleeping!"
"Liar," both Shadow and Wolfwood said unanimously.
"I am not lying!" Vash yelled at the top of his chibi lungs, balling his hands into tiny fists. Moments later, he and the others cringed as they realized his outburst had awoken a certain strawberry blonde computer nerd.
The college student yawned and brushed away sleepies from her eyes and stretched her arms, oblivious to the three pairs of eyes staring at her as she woke up slowly. Blinking, she finally noticed and grinned.
"Well, good morning!"
"Took you long enough," Shadow-chan complained, rolling her eyes. "Haven't you heard of something called promptness?"
The blonde blinked. "Eh?"
"Never mind," Shadow sighed, exasperated. "Anyways... where to today?"
"How should I know, you're the one who programs the thing, not me," Saber replied, stretching her arms again.
"Wait," Wolfwood interrupted, pointing at Shadow. "You. I want some answers and I want them now."
"You're starting to sound like that black haired lady that was shouting yesterday," Shadow-chan grumbled, rolling her eyes.
"You mean Meryl?" Vash inquired.
"Yeah, she's a bitch."
"I wouldn't go that far," Vash stated, sounding a bit sulkish. "She's actually very nice."
"Prove it."
"Shadow, be nice!" Saber insisted, sitting up and looking into her friend's hazel eyes.
"Anyways, I want answers and I want them now!" Wolfwood growled. "Why are we this short? And why are we here? What do you want with us?"
"You're short because an evil genius is trying to take over the world by destorying you and others like you and set in place vile little cute and cuddly creatures to rule all dimensions," Shadow began. "However, since you're chibified and therefore deemed 'cute' by everyone in our society... well, mostly everyone - she won't be able to harm you without making everyone angry with her. And you're here because- well, let's face it, no one is going to find you amidst all of this." She gestured to the mess that made up her college dorm room and grinned. "See my point?"
"Uh... I think so," Vash replied, scratching his blonde head. Wolfwood was just staring at the girl like she was an alien.
"Just go with the flow," Shadow ordered.
"Okay... so how about breakfast?" Vash suggested.
"Ewwwwww..."
"Shadow, you really should eat breakfast you know," Saber admonished. "It's not healthy to skip it."
"Doughnuts aren't healthy either, you know," Shadow retorted.
"Doughnuts?!" Vash exclaimed. "Where?"
"Dear God save me," both Shadow and Wolfwood muttered at the same time. Saber, like Vash, also looked around for the doughnuts, and Shadow-chan looked at Wolfwood, the chibi's thoughts as clear as her own.
"God..."
"What? No doughnuts?" Saber asked, tilting her head to the side, her eyes becoming large and tearful. Vash copied her, staring at Shadow-chan. Shadow-chan closed her eyes and counted to ten, then very patiently spoke to her friend.
"No doughnuts. No doughnuts for either of you until after we complete another mission."
"Whaaa?" Saber and Vash blinked.
"I'm surrounded by stupid geniuses."
"You and me both," Wolfwood spoke, rolling his eyes.
"Well... if we have to wait for doughnuts, would you at least be so kind as to tell us where we're going?" Saberpilot whined, sitting back on her haunches. Shadow-chan shrugged.
"We'll know when we get there."
"And what are we going to do about Vash and Wolfwood? We can't just leave them here-" Saber pointed out literally with an index finger. Something occured to her, then, and she bit her lip. "Especially not since your twin is a Pokemon fan. She might side with Janie, and then where would that leave these two?"
"We'll take them with us," Shadow decided, smiling. She stood up and punched her palm with her fist. "But first... Saber, you stink. Go take a bath."
"I STINK!?! Look who's talking, Miss No-Shower-for-twelve-hours!"
"Are they always like this?" Vash wondered aloud.
"Dear God, I hope not," Wolfwood answered, watching as the two college students continued to deck it out over who was 'smellier'.
*********************************************************************
"Okay," the redhaired collegiate named Janie Forka said, examining her current possessions and making sure she had everything she needed. "Shadow transporter, pokeballs, anti-bishonen ray..." She nodded to herself and grinned, a slightly insane grin at that.
She pulled herself closer to her computer and started typing frantically, the timer still not completely down to zero, thanks to the 'Radical Edward' person that had returned the favor of hacking the computer.
"Shit. Not enough time... if I leave now, I'll have to wait until I get back to try and hack that person's computer." She made a plantive whine in response to this thought, sighing loudly. Janie pushed herself back and forth thanks to her hands on the computer desk.
"What are you whining about?" A new voice asked, an unfamiliar head poking itself into Janie's realm of insanity.
"Uh... I was just about to go out, Ashley," the redhead panicked, hiding her previously evil expression behind a lying smile. "I was just... um... working on-"
The girl entered, her nondescript brown hair falling into outlining bangs as she inspected Janie's computer screen. "Um... why does your computer say something about messing with a 'Radical Edward'?"
"It's... um... it's a program that uh..."
"You weren't trying to hack someone's computer again, were you?" The woman asked, raising a brown eyebrow. Janie grinned quickly, and shook her head.
"No- this is- this is a cleaning program- they call it 'Radical Edward' because it's such a new concept that they use to have it clean corrupted files on your computer," Janie answered, sweating in nervousness.
"Really?" the brown-haired Ashley asked.
"Really."
"Okay then... I'm going to go out now- lock the dorm room door before you go, okay?" The girl asked, then picked up a jacket laying on a nearby bed. With that, the girl headed out, walking outside the door and out into the hallway.
Janie steamed for a few minutes, furious with the girl for entering. She let out a withheld breath of air, then swore under her breath.
Whenever it came time for her to take over the world, annoying roommates would be the first to go. Shaking her head free of the annoyance she felt, she stood up and held the familiar black pokeball she'd been holding in front of her, smiling at its familiarity.
"And when I do get back, not only will annoying roommates die, but little imps named 'Radical Edward' will as well," she smiled. Grinning with the same evil smile she'd been wearing earlier, she pressed the large black button on her pokeball.
A dark spot that writhed with electric sparks appeared on the floor. Still grinning, Janie walked to it, blowing a goodbye kiss to her beloved Ash poster before she entered.
"Soon, my dearheart. Soon."
*********************************************************************
"Finally! Are we going or are we not?" Wolfwood asked, crossing his chibi arms. "If I want to be kidnapped and taken somewhere, I want to be on time," the priest complained.
"Hold your horses, Wolfie-chan," Shadow-chan complained, fixing her hair by pulling it into a small bun, then turned to face the chibis and her blonde friend.
"Why is it that someone with shorter hair than me takes more time to take care of it?" Saberpilot complained.
"Easy. THICK."
"..."
"Well, do you have your ray ready?"
The blonde pulled the 'weapon' out of her pants pocket and showed the item pointedly to the brown-haired collegiate, who gave a light smirk. Shadow then turned and pointed to the two chibis.
"You two. Behave, understand me?" she spat towards Wolfwood and Vash, the priest giving her a blank expression as answer. Vash blinked, not quite understanding, but giving a thumbs up as his answer.
"Saber?"
"What? I behave- I was the one who originally came up with this idea, O Goddess of Evil," Saber pointed out, her expression slightly crestfallen. "Remember?"
"Oh yeah..." Shadow-chan answered after a moment of silence, giving the blonde a smile also as answer. "And what a great idea it was. Now shall we be off?"
"Stupid underappreciated baka squalling..." Saber muttered under her breath, slightly put out by the not-noticing actions of her friend. She stood by and watched as Shadow pressed the button that would enable them to enter another dimension. Something suddenly occured to the strawberry blonde, and she raised a finger to Shadow.
"Um... where are we going again?" she asked as the black hole started to envelope them. Shadow grinned.
"Y'all know I have no freaking clue!"
"WHAT?!?" Saber screamed as she, the chibis, and Shadow were all sucked in, leaving no trace behind of their ever being in the brown-haired college student's dorm room.
**********************************************************************
"Sir?" A well-dressed man in butler's attire questioned a blonde person sitting in front of a desk. The person looked over a pile of papers, deep in thought.
"Yes?" Blue eyes behind a set of glasses looked up.
"I was wondering if you would care to review the troop status today?" the butler asked, raising an eyebrow over his single monocle.
"Hmm?" The person now paid undevided attention to the butler, sitting back and reviewing his request. After a moment of contemplation, a gloved hand laid itself out on its desk, then tapped one finger.
"I suppose I shall later today. However, for right now, Walter, I need some more information about the latest FREAK case we've recieved."
"Certainly, Sir Hellsing." With that, the butler turned coat towards his employer and walked towards the door, off to do his master's bidding.
Sir Integra Hellsing leaned forward and picked up a cigar from the front of her desk, then tilted her chair back slightly, lighting it. She took a small puff, then gave a slight grin.
"You don't need to hide in the shadows- I can see you perfectly well, you know," she snorted before taking another puff on her cigar.
A man dressed in a red coat and dapper hat walked from the darkness, a pair of red sunglasses hiding his thoughts from the blonde woman.
"Ah, but I am a creature of the shadows. The darkness is the realm under my control, just as I am under yours," he said, his last words rather acidic in nature. He disappeared for a moment, then reappeared next to the Knight's desk.
"You do realize these things will make you meet your maker sooner," he spoke once more, picking up one of his Master's cancer sticks and twirling it between his gloved thumb and index finger. Sir Hellsing gave him a raised eyebrow in response.
"Alucard," she pointed out, "if I'm going to reach an earlier grave, it will be because of certain nosferatu who turns anyone into a blood relative."
"Ah, you mean the police girl. Do I detect a hint of jealousy, Master?" The red-hatted man asked, a snarling grin on his face. He placed the cigar back down, then appeared next to the blonde woman, kneeling slightly so that he was just above the main artery in her neck."
"Alucard..." she warned, as he drew closer.
The vampire leaned closer, then stopped mid-way, his nostrils flaring as he smelled something in the air. He disappeared from his stance next to Sir Integra and reappeared in front of her desk.
"What is it?" she asked. A slight wind seemed to blow inside the room.
"Something is coming," he grinned, his canines overly pronounced. Seconds later, a dark black hole loomed from the ceiling, depositing a group of two women and two chibis respectively onto the floor.
Needless to say, one of the chibis did not appear happy with his situation, having been caught underneath one of the two young women.
"Ughh... Shadow, you definately have to work on landings," one of them, a blonde, pointed out. She groaned some more, then giggled when she realized one of the small chibis had landed directly in her lap.
"Well, at least Vash landed on something soft."
"And I didn't? Thanks, Wolfie-chan," the other young woman perked sweetly, standing up and waving at a slightly crushed black suited chibi. The chibi seemed too preoccupied with trying to survive that he didn't answer.
Neither of the young women seemed to notice the rather quizzled woman who stood up at her desk in front of them. Seconds later, however, was a different situation.
"Who the HELL are these people, Alucard?" she demanded of the red-jacketed man in front of her.
"Huh?" Saber blinked, hearing someone yell. She turned to face a red-clothed demon, and winced slightly. "Um... Shadow..." She pointed at the vampire with a trembling finger, knowing of his full capacity for danger and... death.
"Hmm?" The brown-haired collegiate noticed the blonde's shaking finger, and traced it to its target. However, unlike Saberpilot, she had a completely different reaction, jumping into the air and hugging the man's side.
"What the-?" Wolfwood the chibi questioned, finally concious enough to question the situation.
"Alucard, I want an explanation. NOW."
The vampire seemed at a loss for words, for once, staring down at the tightly-clamped Shadow-chan. "Master, I have no knowledge of this..."
"ALU-SAN!" The young woman exclaimed, hugging the man all the tighter. "I picked a GOOD dimension this time, Saber!"
Saberpilot's eyebrow twitched, and she picked up the chibi Vash in front of her. "And the last dimension wasn't?" She hugged the chibi gunner tightly, and he looked up and gave her a grin.
"Well, there was that black-haired bitch in that dimension- what was her name...?" Shadow-chan became pensive, not caring that Alucard by now was looking for ways to pry the girl off of himself. "...Millie? No, that's not right... Merl? Meryl?"
"The last one's it, but I think you have bigger problems right now," Chibi Wolfwood pointed out, literally singling out Sir Hellsing with his left index, who was fuming at the bit by this point.
"Who the HELL are you?"
Shadow-chan gave a bit "Ooohh..." of understanding, seeing the blonde woman stand up behind her desk and rip a cigar from her mouth. "I know you- Saber, it's the blonde bitch- uh... it's Sir Integra!"
The blonde collegiate didn't seem to care by this point, having been pushed into mental submission by Hellsing's strong persona. So strong was it that the girl was now sitting on the ground behind chibi Vash. The little gunner was trying in vain to protect Saber from the onslaught of Integra's gaze.
"Saber?" Shadow blinked in query.
"..."
"Saber? Are you here?"
The blonde cowered behind Vash even more, trying to make herself invisible to Sir Hellsing's gaze. Vash puffed up his small chest as much as he could, trying to hide the blonde.
"...who. the. hell. are. YOU?!?" Integra spat one last time, the effect of her voice so strong that it loosened Shadow-chan's grip on her beloved Alucard. The brown-haired student crossed her arms and stared at the blonde woman.
"Now that wasn't very nice. Then again," Shadow-chan pointed out to herself, "you ARE a Royal bitch..."
"Sir, did you call for-" a familiar butler started as he entered Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing's private office, only to stop and stare at the scene directly before him, it being an infuriated Knight who was yelling at a girl standing next to Alucard. The butler grew confused for a second, then shook his head.
"Sir, can you explain what is-"
"That's what I want to know!" the blonde Knight said angrily, stamping her foot on the ground. Shadow-chan, amused by this 'temper tantrum', started to giggle madly at the blonde-haired woman, Saber blinking as she did.
"Um... Shadow? I don't think you should really piss her off-"
Alucard looked the brown-haired Shadow-chan in the eye, who stared back at the vampire with a hint of mischief in her hazel eyes. "Unless you are in the market for eternal life, I would suggest that you explain yourself," Alucard said cooly.
"Unless you're in the market for a magical rosary I suggest you just hush up," Shadow replied just as cooly.
"Magical rosary?" Saber inquired from behind Vash.
"Never mind."
"I demand an explanation. Now." Sir Integral looked as if she was contemplating just shooting the intruders. Her hand was already heading toward her left drawer, a place that held her handheld pistol. Shadow guessed what she was after and sighed.
"We just sort of dropped in on intentional accident."
"Intentional accident?" Integral repeated.
"Yeah, intentional accident," Shadow confirmed. "We meant to go somewhere... we just didn't know where we were going to end up. We ended up here, which is where we wanted to be... but didn't know we were going to be. Am I getting through to you?" The look in Shadow's eyes told everyone that she could have explained it in a less confusing manner, but she was just enjoying herself far too much.
"You are a FREAK... you must be," Integral snarled, starting to reach over towards her desk drawer.
"Yeah, probably, but not in the manner that you think," Shadow-chan grinned, running a hand through her brown hair. She glanced back at Saber, seeing if the blonde had noticed the Knight's reaching fingers. "But since we're here, we might as well get what we came for."
"I beg your pardon?" Integral snapped.
Wolfwood raised an eyebrow, then smirked at the blonde Knight.
"We're here for him," Shadow explained, as if she were dealing with a stubborn five year old child, nodding towards the red-jacketed vampire. She grinned at Alucard. "You'll certainly make an interesting chibi. Saber, fire away." The brown-haired college student looked around for her blonde counterpart. "...Saber? SABER!"
Saber had still been cowering under Integral's icy glare, but at Shadow's very loud scream she jumped, then drew her chibi ray. She aimed it squarely at the red-hatted vampire.
"Sorry Alu-sama, Shadow's orders." She winked, then fired the chibi ray at Alucard, who dodged the beam. Instead, the shot hit a woman with light red-blonde hair who had just opened the door. The ray shrank her into a child-like form, her red eyes overly large.
Disappointed from missing the first time, but far from giving up, Saber fired again, while everyone was staring at the effect of her weapon. This time she did hit Alucard. The vampire blinked in confusion behind his chibi red shades.
Shadow-chan scooped the red-clad vampire off the ground, then gave him a tight squeeze. "Yay! Okay, Saber, I guess we can go now."
Saber bit her lip, then stopped when she felt a tug from her pant leg. She looked up to see Vash pointing at something behind her. She turned and nearly dropped her jaw in shock.
"Stop. Right. There." Integral now had a gun in her hand, and it was pointed at the two college students. "What did you do to my servant? I demand that you UN-DO it!"
"Why is it that every time we enter a universe we're greeted by someone who acts EXACTLY like my twin?" Shadow wondered aloud.
"S-shadow, she has a gun," Saber stammered, pointing at the weapon. Wolfwood threw the girl a glance, as if wondering at her ability to notice the obvious.
Sir Hellsing stood waiting for an answer, her fingers never moving from the trigger of her gun.
Shadow didn't reply, as she was working on holding a struggling chibi vampire and setting the DGT at the same time. "Well, you know, I'd love to give you an explanation as to how that thing works, but... I can't even program a VCR let alone make something like that. We have to go, so... er... chow."
The brown-haired collegiate pulled Saber towards her, who dragged Wolfwood and Vash along with her. The blonde shook her head, confused for a moment, then smiled when she saw Shadow-chan's hand on the DGT. Winking, she gave a victory sign and gave Vash a quick hug around the shoulders. Meanwhile, the DGT sprung to life.
A familiar black hole swallowed the two girls and their chibis, then vanished leaving a very stunned Sir Hellsing, Walter, and a chibi female vampire behind.
"Uh... Sir?"
The blonde Knight placed down her automatic on her desk, and curled her hands into fists. She closed her blue eyes behind her glasses, and gritted her teeth.
"Walter. Find out who the HELL those people were."
"Yes, sir," the butler answered automatically, leaving behind the Knight and the chibi female.
"And you-" the knight spoke directly to the chibi female, "Ceres Victoria, could not have had worse timing. Now Hellsing has to rely on a fledgling vampire who is not only incompetant, but under three feet tall."
"I'm sorry..." chibi Ceres responded, looking downward and leaving the room. Chibi or full size, she still got yelled at...
*****************************************************************
"OUCH! Ughh... Shadow, will you EVER clean this room?" Saber demanded, prying herself off of a pile of shoes. The blonde winced as she pulled one from underneath the small in her back. "Or can you at least lay a bunch of pillows on the floor before we leave for some other dimension?"
"Oh whine, whine, whine," Shadow replied, rolling off of a pile of school books, still holding chibi Alucard. "You - OWWWWWW! IT BIT ME!"
Alucard had sunk his teeth into Shadow's hand, and she began to shake her arm wildly, trying to dislodge him. "LET. GO. Of. ME!" She swung her arm and sent Alucard flying into the wall.
"Little parasite."
"He's the little parasite YOU wanted, remember?" Saberpilot pointed out, still recooperating. Chibi Wolfwood and Vash merely brushed themselves off, having landed on top of Saberpilot.
"At least I landed on something soft," the chibi priest pointed out, grinning. Shadow-chan gave Wolfwood a scathing look, then stood up to retrieve her wayward vampire.
"Come here, you adorable-"
"There is nothing adorable about myself," the chibi vampire said, his arms crossed. Shadow-chan giggled and cautiously approached the chibi nosferatu.
"Five bucks says he'll bite her again," Wolfwood mentioned off-hand to Saber. The blonde giggled, and winked.
"That's too certain a bet for me. Hey- why aren't you running away like you did last time?"
"Anyways," Vash agreed, his head quizzically tilted to the side. Wolfwood gave the blonde gunner a non-responsive glance in response.
"Because," Wolfwood pointed out, holding his chibi hand towards Shadow-chan and Alucard, "She's moved her attentions elsewhere... and since she's done that, I don't have to worry about her tormenting me."
A shadow suddenly loomed behind Wolfwood. Vash pointed indirectly towards it, but the priest didn't seem to get the idea.
"What?"
"Don't have to worry about me tormenting you, eh?"
Wolfwood froze at the sound of Shadow-chan's voice, gritting his teeth in a panicked expression. He turned around slowly to face a smiling Shadow, who held in her arms a very-much subdued Alucard.
"Wha- what did you do to him?" The chibi preacher asked, nervous.
The chibi vampire wasn't trying to escape at all- in point of fact, it seemed as though he was moving closer to Shadow-chan. The college student winked, then held out her wrists to reveal a set of bracelets.
"Blessed silver jewelry."
"Where did you get that?" Saber asked.
"Does it matter?" Shadow retorted.
"I suppose not. So, if you can keep him under control," Saber mused, putting a finger to her mouth, "then Wolfwood would be no problem?"
"No, he wouldn't," Shadow-chan agreed, smiling. "In point of fact, I'd be more than happy to-"
The college girl didn't finish her sentence, however, seeing a pair of black shoes scampering underneath the bed. Saber gave Shadow a withering look.
"Why did you have to do that?"
"YES. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?" Wolfwood complained from his hiding spot. "Why did you have to bring me here in the first place?!?"
"Because we love you too much to let you be destroyed by that Janie girl?" Saber pondered.
"Exactly, Wolfie-chan," Shadow pointed out, then winked, looking down at her chibified vampire. Alucard was looking back at Shadow's silver bracelets and struggling to remain outside of their presence. Vash and Saber looked at each other and shrugged, both their cheeks noticeably pink as they did so.
"Hmm..." Shadow-chan said aloud, watching the two of them.
"Huh?" Saber blinked, looking at the teen.
"Nothing you need to worry your blonde head about," Shadow-chan said, then grinned, thinking of something.
"So... who's up for a game of chase the vampire?" she asked, prying Alucard off her shoulder and holding him up in the air. The vampire was less than pleased at this thought.
"You... you FREAKS!"
"We love you too, Alu-san," Shadow said, pulling the chibi into a big hug... against his will.
*********************************************************************
"Um... where the hell am I?" Janie Forka asked, scratching her chin and looking around her. Tall, mohagany wood outlined every single detail of the hallway, and the Pokemon otaku scratched her head in confusion.
"That's odd... there's no way that this could be the Pokemon dimension..."
"Sir- another one!"
"What?" Janie asked, blinking. A man with a monocle stood down the hallway from her, pointing. Seconds later, a small redheaded chibi ran towards her, its red eyes slanted in anger.
"Uhh..."
"Seize her!" A person with blonde hair suddenly appeared, and ordered the chibi. The red-eyed chibi nodded, and continued to run towards Janie.
Thinking quickly, Janie pulled out her anti-bishonen ray and fired it upon the blonde person with the large glasses. However, to her dismay, the ray seemed to have no effect. The redhead college student panicked, and pressed a random set of buttons on her black Dimensional Pokeball. Anywhere was better than here, and she had to get out of here quick. If the Anti-bishonen ray didn't work on that man...
Just as the red haired chibi was almost a foot from her, Janie disappeared into her electrified vortex, stopping the chibi redhead in her tracks.
"DAMN IT! Why didn't you move faster?" the blonde Sir Integra Hellsing bellowed at the chibi Ceres Victoria, who promptly fell face-forward on the ground after her trying ordeal to catch Janie.
"Legs... too... short..." the chibi muttered before passing out.
"Incompetant bi-" Integra stopped short and regained her composure, then pushed her glasses up onto the bridge of her nose. She faced the butler, who awaited instruction.
"More information. I must have more information about these 'travelers' and why they've kidnapped not only Alucard, but changed Victoria's stature," she told the man, then turned on her heel. She was almost at the end of the hallway, when something occured to her.
"Get her to bed, Walter. I'll deal with her whenever she wakes up."
"Understood, Sir."
With that, the Hellsing butler picked up the chibi vampire and gave a sigh. He had better get that information quickly, else a certain ire would rise within his Knightly master.
First things first, however. Being careful not to juggle her too much, Walter took Ceres to her room. The sooner he could find the information, the better, and not just for his Sir Integra's sake, but for Hellsing's.
A chibi vampire couldn't do much.

Well? Digestible? Readable? Wonderful? Let us know what you think! ^_^ R&R, peoples!
In any case, read, review, enjoy.... :D
***********************************************************************
Sleep was the main agenda for the two college students that laid in the very messy dorm room. Saberpilot was curled up on a nearby blanket, making small murmur-like noises in her sleep. The other collgiate student, known as Shadow-chan, laid sprawled upon her bed, the only noises arising from her being minor "hmphs" every now and then.
Nicholas D. Wolfwood, also known as 'Wolfie-chan' to the two students, sat watching both the teenagers dream. He sighed, then reached for one of his infamous cigarettes, then swore quietly when he realized they'd been switched for candy ones.
Grumbling, he picked one out anyways and started to neb on it, finally realizing that Vash was nowhere nearby. Looking around, he saw a familiar red jacket, albeit chibified, laying next to the girl who called herself 'Saber'.
"Eh... never learn, do you, Needle Noggin?"
The blonde girl, Saber, didn't seem to mind his presence, however, snuggling beside him. He heard her mumble, and Wolfwood blinked. He couldn't have heard what he'd thought he had... could he?
"Vash-kun..."
The man in black scratched his head. Why would this girl... how the hell did they know them, anyways? As soon as they woke up, these Shadow and Saber were going to answer some questions.
Or else.
************************************************************************
"Where was I...?" Vash yawned as he stretched, awakening thanks to the light sunlight that was drifting into the room. "Wait a second..." He blinked, and rubbed his eyes, then looked around him. A blonde girl laid on the floor next to him, her breathing slightly shallow in nature.
For some reason, whenever he looked at her, he felt some sort of pull on his heart- as if something was trying to tell him that for all her tough exterior, she needed to be protected.
Vash shook his head, then looked at his hands. It... It'd been real. All of it. The girl, the other one- He looked towards a bed-like contraption, and saw brown hair strewn everywhere, then back towards his palms.
They were indeed, rather small. Seconds later, he felt something poking him on the shoulder. Vash turned to see Wolfwood... or rather, a very small version of Wolfwood, poking him on the shoulder.
"Wha-"
"Shh!" The priest said, putting a finger to his lips. The chibi man motioned to the Stampede to follow him, and the red-jacketed chibi did so, following him to a corner of the room where Wolfwood's punisher... or rather, chibi punisher, leaned against a chest of drawers.
"Well. We've got ourselves in a right mess, don't we?"
"How the hell should I know?" Vash asked, blinking. "I just- I just woke up and realized that this all actually happened!"
"Well, hello, Mr. Sunshine. Glad you could join us!" The chibi priest slapped the blonde in the back of the head. "Now what are we going to do about it?"
"Do about it?" Vash blinked, oblivious. He then scratched his chin and looked at Wolfwood. "I wasn't aware that there was anything we COULD do about this, Wolfwood. They obviously know who we are, and somehow were able to transport us... here... after turning us into... children?"
"I don't think we're children, Vash," Wolfwood pointed out, motioning to his candy cigarettes. "I heard one of them mention something about 'chibis' earlier. I'm assuming it's a smaller version of ourselves. But why the hell would they want to do this in the first place?"
Vash placed a chibified gloved hand to his chin. "I have no idea. But I do know one thing-" he said, turning to look back at the college student named Saber, "that one's pretty cute."
"Argh- Vash, stop thinking about a pretty face, and start thinking about our less-than-pretty future! I don't know about you, but I don't like being under a meter in height!"
"I'm sure they have a good reason for all this, Wolfwood. We just have to listen to it."
"You and your pacifistic ways..."
"They work, don't they?" Vash asked, standing up and heading back towards the blanket upon which Saber still laid asleep. He kneeled next to her and brushed a strand of strawberry blonde away from her face. "And besides, Wolfwood- they didn't really hurt us. Just hugged us, made us small... and kidnapped us. I'm sure they have a good reason, we just have to ask."
"Vash... pacifism will only work so good for so long," Wolfwood said, but was ignored by the blonde chibi.
"I'll say," Another voice agreed, and Wolfwood blinked, realizing that he was looking up into a set of hazel eyes. Shadow-chan, it seemed, had woken up during the last leg of their conversation. She smiled, and winked at the priest.
"But as for Vash's comment, I'd be more than happy to explain," she continued, stretching and cracking her neck. She then kneeled beside Vash and looked at the chibi who continued to stare at Saberpilot.
"You know... she's just as smitten with you."
"Whaa-?" Vash asked, his face turning beet red. He then punched himself in the face and laughed it off. "I have no idea what you're talking about! I was just making sure that this young lady Saber was safe while she was sleeping!"
"Liar," both Shadow and Wolfwood said unanimously.
"I am not lying!" Vash yelled at the top of his chibi lungs, balling his hands into tiny fists. Moments later, he and the others cringed as they realized his outburst had awoken a certain strawberry blonde computer nerd.
The college student yawned and brushed away sleepies from her eyes and stretched her arms, oblivious to the three pairs of eyes staring at her as she woke up slowly. Blinking, she finally noticed and grinned.
"Well, good morning!"
"Took you long enough," Shadow-chan complained, rolling her eyes. "Haven't you heard of something called promptness?"
The blonde blinked. "Eh?"
"Never mind," Shadow sighed, exasperated. "Anyways... where to today?"
"How should I know, you're the one who programs the thing, not me," Saber replied, stretching her arms again.
"Wait," Wolfwood interrupted, pointing at Shadow. "You. I want some answers and I want them now."
"You're starting to sound like that black haired lady that was shouting yesterday," Shadow-chan grumbled, rolling her eyes.
"You mean Meryl?" Vash inquired.
"Yeah, she's a bitch."
"I wouldn't go that far," Vash stated, sounding a bit sulkish. "She's actually very nice."
"Prove it."
"Shadow, be nice!" Saber insisted, sitting up and looking into her friend's hazel eyes.
"Anyways, I want answers and I want them now!" Wolfwood growled. "Why are we this short? And why are we here? What do you want with us?"
"You're short because an evil genius is trying to take over the world by destorying you and others like you and set in place vile little cute and cuddly creatures to rule all dimensions," Shadow began. "However, since you're chibified and therefore deemed 'cute' by everyone in our society... well, mostly everyone - she won't be able to harm you without making everyone angry with her. And you're here because- well, let's face it, no one is going to find you amidst all of this." She gestured to the mess that made up her college dorm room and grinned. "See my point?"
"Uh... I think so," Vash replied, scratching his blonde head. Wolfwood was just staring at the girl like she was an alien.
"Just go with the flow," Shadow ordered.
"Okay... so how about breakfast?" Vash suggested.
"Ewwwwww..."
"Shadow, you really should eat breakfast you know," Saber admonished. "It's not healthy to skip it."
"Doughnuts aren't healthy either, you know," Shadow retorted.
"Doughnuts?!" Vash exclaimed. "Where?"
"Dear God save me," both Shadow and Wolfwood muttered at the same time. Saber, like Vash, also looked around for the doughnuts, and Shadow-chan looked at Wolfwood, the chibi's thoughts as clear as her own.
"God..."
"What? No doughnuts?" Saber asked, tilting her head to the side, her eyes becoming large and tearful. Vash copied her, staring at Shadow-chan. Shadow-chan closed her eyes and counted to ten, then very patiently spoke to her friend.
"No doughnuts. No doughnuts for either of you until after we complete another mission."
"Whaaa?" Saber and Vash blinked.
"I'm surrounded by stupid geniuses."
"You and me both," Wolfwood spoke, rolling his eyes.
"Well... if we have to wait for doughnuts, would you at least be so kind as to tell us where we're going?" Saberpilot whined, sitting back on her haunches. Shadow-chan shrugged.
"We'll know when we get there."
"And what are we going to do about Vash and Wolfwood? We can't just leave them here-" Saber pointed out literally with an index finger. Something occured to her, then, and she bit her lip. "Especially not since your twin is a Pokemon fan. She might side with Janie, and then where would that leave these two?"
"We'll take them with us," Shadow decided, smiling. She stood up and punched her palm with her fist. "But first... Saber, you stink. Go take a bath."
"I STINK!?! Look who's talking, Miss No-Shower-for-twelve-hours!"
"Are they always like this?" Vash wondered aloud.
"Dear God, I hope not," Wolfwood answered, watching as the two college students continued to deck it out over who was 'smellier'.
*********************************************************************
"Okay," the redhaired collegiate named Janie Forka said, examining her current possessions and making sure she had everything she needed. "Shadow transporter, pokeballs, anti-bishonen ray..." She nodded to herself and grinned, a slightly insane grin at that.
She pulled herself closer to her computer and started typing frantically, the timer still not completely down to zero, thanks to the 'Radical Edward' person that had returned the favor of hacking the computer.
"Shit. Not enough time... if I leave now, I'll have to wait until I get back to try and hack that person's computer." She made a plantive whine in response to this thought, sighing loudly. Janie pushed herself back and forth thanks to her hands on the computer desk.
"What are you whining about?" A new voice asked, an unfamiliar head poking itself into Janie's realm of insanity.
"Uh... I was just about to go out, Ashley," the redhead panicked, hiding her previously evil expression behind a lying smile. "I was just... um... working on-"
The girl entered, her nondescript brown hair falling into outlining bangs as she inspected Janie's computer screen. "Um... why does your computer say something about messing with a 'Radical Edward'?"
"It's... um... it's a program that uh..."
"You weren't trying to hack someone's computer again, were you?" The woman asked, raising a brown eyebrow. Janie grinned quickly, and shook her head.
"No- this is- this is a cleaning program- they call it 'Radical Edward' because it's such a new concept that they use to have it clean corrupted files on your computer," Janie answered, sweating in nervousness.
"Really?" the brown-haired Ashley asked.
"Really."
"Okay then... I'm going to go out now- lock the dorm room door before you go, okay?" The girl asked, then picked up a jacket laying on a nearby bed. With that, the girl headed out, walking outside the door and out into the hallway.
Janie steamed for a few minutes, furious with the girl for entering. She let out a withheld breath of air, then swore under her breath.
Whenever it came time for her to take over the world, annoying roommates would be the first to go. Shaking her head free of the annoyance she felt, she stood up and held the familiar black pokeball she'd been holding in front of her, smiling at its familiarity.
"And when I do get back, not only will annoying roommates die, but little imps named 'Radical Edward' will as well," she smiled. Grinning with the same evil smile she'd been wearing earlier, she pressed the large black button on her pokeball.
A dark spot that writhed with electric sparks appeared on the floor. Still grinning, Janie walked to it, blowing a goodbye kiss to her beloved Ash poster before she entered.
"Soon, my dearheart. Soon."
*********************************************************************
"Finally! Are we going or are we not?" Wolfwood asked, crossing his chibi arms. "If I want to be kidnapped and taken somewhere, I want to be on time," the priest complained.
"Hold your horses, Wolfie-chan," Shadow-chan complained, fixing her hair by pulling it into a small bun, then turned to face the chibis and her blonde friend.
"Why is it that someone with shorter hair than me takes more time to take care of it?" Saberpilot complained.
"Easy. THICK."
"..."
"Well, do you have your ray ready?"
The blonde pulled the 'weapon' out of her pants pocket and showed the item pointedly to the brown-haired collegiate, who gave a light smirk. Shadow then turned and pointed to the two chibis.
"You two. Behave, understand me?" she spat towards Wolfwood and Vash, the priest giving her a blank expression as answer. Vash blinked, not quite understanding, but giving a thumbs up as his answer.
"Saber?"
"What? I behave- I was the one who originally came up with this idea, O Goddess of Evil," Saber pointed out, her expression slightly crestfallen. "Remember?"
"Oh yeah..." Shadow-chan answered after a moment of silence, giving the blonde a smile also as answer. "And what a great idea it was. Now shall we be off?"
"Stupid underappreciated baka squalling..." Saber muttered under her breath, slightly put out by the not-noticing actions of her friend. She stood by and watched as Shadow pressed the button that would enable them to enter another dimension. Something suddenly occured to the strawberry blonde, and she raised a finger to Shadow.
"Um... where are we going again?" she asked as the black hole started to envelope them. Shadow grinned.
"Y'all know I have no freaking clue!"
"WHAT?!?" Saber screamed as she, the chibis, and Shadow were all sucked in, leaving no trace behind of their ever being in the brown-haired college student's dorm room.
**********************************************************************
"Sir?" A well-dressed man in butler's attire questioned a blonde person sitting in front of a desk. The person looked over a pile of papers, deep in thought.
"Yes?" Blue eyes behind a set of glasses looked up.
"I was wondering if you would care to review the troop status today?" the butler asked, raising an eyebrow over his single monocle.
"Hmm?" The person now paid undevided attention to the butler, sitting back and reviewing his request. After a moment of contemplation, a gloved hand laid itself out on its desk, then tapped one finger.
"I suppose I shall later today. However, for right now, Walter, I need some more information about the latest FREAK case we've recieved."
"Certainly, Sir Hellsing." With that, the butler turned coat towards his employer and walked towards the door, off to do his master's bidding.
Sir Integra Hellsing leaned forward and picked up a cigar from the front of her desk, then tilted her chair back slightly, lighting it. She took a small puff, then gave a slight grin.
"You don't need to hide in the shadows- I can see you perfectly well, you know," she snorted before taking another puff on her cigar.
A man dressed in a red coat and dapper hat walked from the darkness, a pair of red sunglasses hiding his thoughts from the blonde woman.
"Ah, but I am a creature of the shadows. The darkness is the realm under my control, just as I am under yours," he said, his last words rather acidic in nature. He disappeared for a moment, then reappeared next to the Knight's desk.
"You do realize these things will make you meet your maker sooner," he spoke once more, picking up one of his Master's cancer sticks and twirling it between his gloved thumb and index finger. Sir Hellsing gave him a raised eyebrow in response.
"Alucard," she pointed out, "if I'm going to reach an earlier grave, it will be because of certain nosferatu who turns anyone into a blood relative."
"Ah, you mean the police girl. Do I detect a hint of jealousy, Master?" The red-hatted man asked, a snarling grin on his face. He placed the cigar back down, then appeared next to the blonde woman, kneeling slightly so that he was just above the main artery in her neck."
"Alucard..." she warned, as he drew closer.
The vampire leaned closer, then stopped mid-way, his nostrils flaring as he smelled something in the air. He disappeared from his stance next to Sir Integra and reappeared in front of her desk.
"What is it?" she asked. A slight wind seemed to blow inside the room.
"Something is coming," he grinned, his canines overly pronounced. Seconds later, a dark black hole loomed from the ceiling, depositing a group of two women and two chibis respectively onto the floor.
Needless to say, one of the chibis did not appear happy with his situation, having been caught underneath one of the two young women.
"Ughh... Shadow, you definately have to work on landings," one of them, a blonde, pointed out. She groaned some more, then giggled when she realized one of the small chibis had landed directly in her lap.
"Well, at least Vash landed on something soft."
"And I didn't? Thanks, Wolfie-chan," the other young woman perked sweetly, standing up and waving at a slightly crushed black suited chibi. The chibi seemed too preoccupied with trying to survive that he didn't answer.
Neither of the young women seemed to notice the rather quizzled woman who stood up at her desk in front of them. Seconds later, however, was a different situation.
"Who the HELL are these people, Alucard?" she demanded of the red-jacketed man in front of her.
"Huh?" Saber blinked, hearing someone yell. She turned to face a red-clothed demon, and winced slightly. "Um... Shadow..." She pointed at the vampire with a trembling finger, knowing of his full capacity for danger and... death.
"Hmm?" The brown-haired collegiate noticed the blonde's shaking finger, and traced it to its target. However, unlike Saberpilot, she had a completely different reaction, jumping into the air and hugging the man's side.
"What the-?" Wolfwood the chibi questioned, finally concious enough to question the situation.
"Alucard, I want an explanation. NOW."
The vampire seemed at a loss for words, for once, staring down at the tightly-clamped Shadow-chan. "Master, I have no knowledge of this..."
"ALU-SAN!" The young woman exclaimed, hugging the man all the tighter. "I picked a GOOD dimension this time, Saber!"
Saberpilot's eyebrow twitched, and she picked up the chibi Vash in front of her. "And the last dimension wasn't?" She hugged the chibi gunner tightly, and he looked up and gave her a grin.
"Well, there was that black-haired bitch in that dimension- what was her name...?" Shadow-chan became pensive, not caring that Alucard by now was looking for ways to pry the girl off of himself. "...Millie? No, that's not right... Merl? Meryl?"
"The last one's it, but I think you have bigger problems right now," Chibi Wolfwood pointed out, literally singling out Sir Hellsing with his left index, who was fuming at the bit by this point.
"Who the HELL are you?"
Shadow-chan gave a bit "Ooohh..." of understanding, seeing the blonde woman stand up behind her desk and rip a cigar from her mouth. "I know you- Saber, it's the blonde bitch- uh... it's Sir Integra!"
The blonde collegiate didn't seem to care by this point, having been pushed into mental submission by Hellsing's strong persona. So strong was it that the girl was now sitting on the ground behind chibi Vash. The little gunner was trying in vain to protect Saber from the onslaught of Integra's gaze.
"Saber?" Shadow blinked in query.
"..."
"Saber? Are you here?"
The blonde cowered behind Vash even more, trying to make herself invisible to Sir Hellsing's gaze. Vash puffed up his small chest as much as he could, trying to hide the blonde.
"...who. the. hell. are. YOU?!?" Integra spat one last time, the effect of her voice so strong that it loosened Shadow-chan's grip on her beloved Alucard. The brown-haired student crossed her arms and stared at the blonde woman.
"Now that wasn't very nice. Then again," Shadow-chan pointed out to herself, "you ARE a Royal bitch..."
"Sir, did you call for-" a familiar butler started as he entered Sir Integra Wingates Hellsing's private office, only to stop and stare at the scene directly before him, it being an infuriated Knight who was yelling at a girl standing next to Alucard. The butler grew confused for a second, then shook his head.
"Sir, can you explain what is-"
"That's what I want to know!" the blonde Knight said angrily, stamping her foot on the ground. Shadow-chan, amused by this 'temper tantrum', started to giggle madly at the blonde-haired woman, Saber blinking as she did.
"Um... Shadow? I don't think you should really piss her off-"
Alucard looked the brown-haired Shadow-chan in the eye, who stared back at the vampire with a hint of mischief in her hazel eyes. "Unless you are in the market for eternal life, I would suggest that you explain yourself," Alucard said cooly.
"Unless you're in the market for a magical rosary I suggest you just hush up," Shadow replied just as cooly.
"Magical rosary?" Saber inquired from behind Vash.
"Never mind."
"I demand an explanation. Now." Sir Integral looked as if she was contemplating just shooting the intruders. Her hand was already heading toward her left drawer, a place that held her handheld pistol. Shadow guessed what she was after and sighed.
"We just sort of dropped in on intentional accident."
"Intentional accident?" Integral repeated.
"Yeah, intentional accident," Shadow confirmed. "We meant to go somewhere... we just didn't know where we were going to end up. We ended up here, which is where we wanted to be... but didn't know we were going to be. Am I getting through to you?" The look in Shadow's eyes told everyone that she could have explained it in a less confusing manner, but she was just enjoying herself far too much.
"You are a FREAK... you must be," Integral snarled, starting to reach over towards her desk drawer.
"Yeah, probably, but not in the manner that you think," Shadow-chan grinned, running a hand through her brown hair. She glanced back at Saber, seeing if the blonde had noticed the Knight's reaching fingers. "But since we're here, we might as well get what we came for."
"I beg your pardon?" Integral snapped.
Wolfwood raised an eyebrow, then smirked at the blonde Knight.
"We're here for him," Shadow explained, as if she were dealing with a stubborn five year old child, nodding towards the red-jacketed vampire. She grinned at Alucard. "You'll certainly make an interesting chibi. Saber, fire away." The brown-haired college student looked around for her blonde counterpart. "...Saber? SABER!"
Saber had still been cowering under Integral's icy glare, but at Shadow's very loud scream she jumped, then drew her chibi ray. She aimed it squarely at the red-hatted vampire.
"Sorry Alu-sama, Shadow's orders." She winked, then fired the chibi ray at Alucard, who dodged the beam. Instead, the shot hit a woman with light red-blonde hair who had just opened the door. The ray shrank her into a child-like form, her red eyes overly large.
Disappointed from missing the first time, but far from giving up, Saber fired again, while everyone was staring at the effect of her weapon. This time she did hit Alucard. The vampire blinked in confusion behind his chibi red shades.
Shadow-chan scooped the red-clad vampire off the ground, then gave him a tight squeeze. "Yay! Okay, Saber, I guess we can go now."
Saber bit her lip, then stopped when she felt a tug from her pant leg. She looked up to see Vash pointing at something behind her. She turned and nearly dropped her jaw in shock.
"Stop. Right. There." Integral now had a gun in her hand, and it was pointed at the two college students. "What did you do to my servant? I demand that you UN-DO it!"
"Why is it that every time we enter a universe we're greeted by someone who acts EXACTLY like my twin?" Shadow wondered aloud.
"S-shadow, she has a gun," Saber stammered, pointing at the weapon. Wolfwood threw the girl a glance, as if wondering at her ability to notice the obvious.
Sir Hellsing stood waiting for an answer, her fingers never moving from the trigger of her gun.
Shadow didn't reply, as she was working on holding a struggling chibi vampire and setting the DGT at the same time. "Well, you know, I'd love to give you an explanation as to how that thing works, but... I can't even program a VCR let alone make something like that. We have to go, so... er... chow."
The brown-haired collegiate pulled Saber towards her, who dragged Wolfwood and Vash along with her. The blonde shook her head, confused for a moment, then smiled when she saw Shadow-chan's hand on the DGT. Winking, she gave a victory sign and gave Vash a quick hug around the shoulders. Meanwhile, the DGT sprung to life.
A familiar black hole swallowed the two girls and their chibis, then vanished leaving a very stunned Sir Hellsing, Walter, and a chibi female vampire behind.
"Uh... Sir?"
The blonde Knight placed down her automatic on her desk, and curled her hands into fists. She closed her blue eyes behind her glasses, and gritted her teeth.
"Walter. Find out who the HELL those people were."
"Yes, sir," the butler answered automatically, leaving behind the Knight and the chibi female.
"And you-" the knight spoke directly to the chibi female, "Ceres Victoria, could not have had worse timing. Now Hellsing has to rely on a fledgling vampire who is not only incompetant, but under three feet tall."
"I'm sorry..." chibi Ceres responded, looking downward and leaving the room. Chibi or full size, she still got yelled at...
*****************************************************************
"OUCH! Ughh... Shadow, will you EVER clean this room?" Saber demanded, prying herself off of a pile of shoes. The blonde winced as she pulled one from underneath the small in her back. "Or can you at least lay a bunch of pillows on the floor before we leave for some other dimension?"
"Oh whine, whine, whine," Shadow replied, rolling off of a pile of school books, still holding chibi Alucard. "You - OWWWWWW! IT BIT ME!"
Alucard had sunk his teeth into Shadow's hand, and she began to shake her arm wildly, trying to dislodge him. "LET. GO. Of. ME!" She swung her arm and sent Alucard flying into the wall.
"Little parasite."
"He's the little parasite YOU wanted, remember?" Saberpilot pointed out, still recooperating. Chibi Wolfwood and Vash merely brushed themselves off, having landed on top of Saberpilot.
"At least I landed on something soft," the chibi priest pointed out, grinning. Shadow-chan gave Wolfwood a scathing look, then stood up to retrieve her wayward vampire.
"Come here, you adorable-"
"There is nothing adorable about myself," the chibi vampire said, his arms crossed. Shadow-chan giggled and cautiously approached the chibi nosferatu.
"Five bucks says he'll bite her again," Wolfwood mentioned off-hand to Saber. The blonde giggled, and winked.
"That's too certain a bet for me. Hey- why aren't you running away like you did last time?"
"Anyways," Vash agreed, his head quizzically tilted to the side. Wolfwood gave the blonde gunner a non-responsive glance in response.
"Because," Wolfwood pointed out, holding his chibi hand towards Shadow-chan and Alucard, "She's moved her attentions elsewhere... and since she's done that, I don't have to worry about her tormenting me."
A shadow suddenly loomed behind Wolfwood. Vash pointed indirectly towards it, but the priest didn't seem to get the idea.
"What?"
"Don't have to worry about me tormenting you, eh?"
Wolfwood froze at the sound of Shadow-chan's voice, gritting his teeth in a panicked expression. He turned around slowly to face a smiling Shadow, who held in her arms a very-much subdued Alucard.
"Wha- what did you do to him?" The chibi preacher asked, nervous.
The chibi vampire wasn't trying to escape at all- in point of fact, it seemed as though he was moving closer to Shadow-chan. The college student winked, then held out her wrists to reveal a set of bracelets.
"Blessed silver jewelry."
"Where did you get that?" Saber asked.
"Does it matter?" Shadow retorted.
"I suppose not. So, if you can keep him under control," Saber mused, putting a finger to her mouth, "then Wolfwood would be no problem?"
"No, he wouldn't," Shadow-chan agreed, smiling. "In point of fact, I'd be more than happy to-"
The college girl didn't finish her sentence, however, seeing a pair of black shoes scampering underneath the bed. Saber gave Shadow a withering look.
"Why did you have to do that?"
"YES. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?" Wolfwood complained from his hiding spot. "Why did you have to bring me here in the first place?!?"
"Because we love you too much to let you be destroyed by that Janie girl?" Saber pondered.
"Exactly, Wolfie-chan," Shadow pointed out, then winked, looking down at her chibified vampire. Alucard was looking back at Shadow's silver bracelets and struggling to remain outside of their presence. Vash and Saber looked at each other and shrugged, both their cheeks noticeably pink as they did so.
"Hmm..." Shadow-chan said aloud, watching the two of them.
"Huh?" Saber blinked, looking at the teen.
"Nothing you need to worry your blonde head about," Shadow-chan said, then grinned, thinking of something.
"So... who's up for a game of chase the vampire?" she asked, prying Alucard off her shoulder and holding him up in the air. The vampire was less than pleased at this thought.
"You... you FREAKS!"
"We love you too, Alu-san," Shadow said, pulling the chibi into a big hug... against his will.
*********************************************************************
"Um... where the hell am I?" Janie Forka asked, scratching her chin and looking around her. Tall, mohagany wood outlined every single detail of the hallway, and the Pokemon otaku scratched her head in confusion.
"That's odd... there's no way that this could be the Pokemon dimension..."
"Sir- another one!"
"What?" Janie asked, blinking. A man with a monocle stood down the hallway from her, pointing. Seconds later, a small redheaded chibi ran towards her, its red eyes slanted in anger.
"Uhh..."
"Seize her!" A person with blonde hair suddenly appeared, and ordered the chibi. The red-eyed chibi nodded, and continued to run towards Janie.
Thinking quickly, Janie pulled out her anti-bishonen ray and fired it upon the blonde person with the large glasses. However, to her dismay, the ray seemed to have no effect. The redhead college student panicked, and pressed a random set of buttons on her black Dimensional Pokeball. Anywhere was better than here, and she had to get out of here quick. If the Anti-bishonen ray didn't work on that man...
Just as the red haired chibi was almost a foot from her, Janie disappeared into her electrified vortex, stopping the chibi redhead in her tracks.
"DAMN IT! Why didn't you move faster?" the blonde Sir Integra Hellsing bellowed at the chibi Ceres Victoria, who promptly fell face-forward on the ground after her trying ordeal to catch Janie.
"Legs... too... short..." the chibi muttered before passing out.
"Incompetant bi-" Integra stopped short and regained her composure, then pushed her glasses up onto the bridge of her nose. She faced the butler, who awaited instruction.
"More information. I must have more information about these 'travelers' and why they've kidnapped not only Alucard, but changed Victoria's stature," she told the man, then turned on her heel. She was almost at the end of the hallway, when something occured to her.
"Get her to bed, Walter. I'll deal with her whenever she wakes up."
"Understood, Sir."
With that, the Hellsing butler picked up the chibi vampire and gave a sigh. He had better get that information quickly, else a certain ire would rise within his Knightly master.
First things first, however. Being careful not to juggle her too much, Walter took Ceres to her room. The sooner he could find the information, the better, and not just for his Sir Integra's sake, but for Hellsing's.
A chibi vampire couldn't do much.
**********************************************************************
Well? Digestible? Readable? Wonderful? Let us know what you think! ^_^ R&R, peoples!
