Kanda grumbled at the ceiling from his position on the couch.

He couldn't believe his rotten luck. He was stuck in this room with the Moyashi, who he hated, and they were both in child form. That means Kanda couldn't even pull a knife on the sprout because he'd probably start crying ranch dip or whatever it was that vegetables cried.

Komui had stuck them together in an admittedly spacious but still locked room. His excuse had been one along the lines of confinement is the easiest way to keep you two safe. Freaking Komui, thought Kanda. He just didn't want to have to deal with them.

And why had he had to lock them in the same room again? To "keep them safe" again? So that they didn't get lonely?

Kanda punched his pillow violently.

Beside him, the sprout said, "Kanda, you shouldn't do that. I know it stinks, but everyone's trying their best to get us back to normal. We should all just cope with it-"

"Exactly the same," interjected Kanda.

Allen tilted his head to the side adorably. "Eh, what was that?"

"You're acting exactly the same as yourself..."

Allen sat up straight, and said indignantly, "And what is that supposed to mean, BaKanda?"

Kanda was about to retort when suddenly the door opened, and Lavi, Lenalee, Krory and Miranda walked in. The door slammed shut behind them.

Lenalee and Miranda winced at the sound, and Lavi jumped. Krory sniffled.

Kanda sat up, and pointed an accusing finger at the newcomers. "What are you doing here?"

Lavi raised his hands above his head in an all-too-familiar gesture. "Sorry, Yuu! Komui threw us in here."

Lenalee began to tear up. "I can't believe gēgē would be so mean! I mean, it's not our faults we're little, is it?"

Allen shook his head. "Of course it's not, Lenalee! It's that stupid Tyki's fault!"

Lavi sprung up, and said annoyedly, "Hey! He is not stupid!"

Lenalee hiccuped, and her teary frown grew into an evil smile. "You're only saying that because you liiiiiike him."

The redhead yelled, "I do not! I just think his way of thinking isn't dumb! That's all I said!"

Kanda said, "Hey."

Everyone turned to him. "Yes, Kanda?" asked Allen.

"As long as we're all in here, we should play a game."

Lenalee clapped her hands together with joy, and screamed, "Yeah!"

Lavi said, punching the air, "Let's play hide and seek!"

Allen nodded, and turned to Kanda. "Okay! You be it!"

The Japanese teen groaned, and said, "Do I have to-"

"Yes!" chorused the other five in perfect unison. "Now shut your eyes!"

Kanda shut his eyes tightly, and began to count. "1, 2, 3..."

Lavi was running around the room, looking for a hiding place. Soon, he realized that the "room" was actually a set of rooms, and were connected by hallways. The master door, the one they had come through, was locked, but all the rest were easy to open, which meant a lot of hiding spaces.

Lavi turned into a dark room, and shut the door behind him, locking it. "Phew..." He regretted his hiding place immediately. The darkness was surrounding him, and he couldn't see a thing except for the light coming from under the door.

He was about to escape when suddenly a hand snaked around his chest, pulling him away from the wall and into the darkness.

"What? Who are you? Stop it! STOP!" Lavi began screaming incoherently, until the lights went on, and he identified his attacker.

The redheaded boy stared up at the man who was wearing a tall top hat and a suit. A blush immediately shaded his cheeks.

"Oh! Hello, Tyki Mikk."

Tyki chuckled. "Hello, Lavi."

Lavi looked towards the door, and then back to the older man, who had let go of him and was now staring down at him oddly.

Tyki was thinking to himself, Okay, any second the bunny's gonna make a run for it. Then I'm gonna turn him back to his regular age and sex him up. On the count of three. One, two-

Lavi stepped, but instead of what Tyki was expecting, backwards, he stepped forwards. He reached towards the older man's head with both arms. Perplexed, Tyki leaned down, close to the boy's face.

The boy fidgeted with the hem of his shirt, and whispered into Tyki's ear, "Can I tell you a secret?"

Tyki nodded, and replied in a whisper, "Yes, sure."

Lavi stood on his tiptoes, and held his hands to either side of the older man's ear. Quietly, he said, "I... I have to go to the bathroom."

Tyki recoiled in confusion. "What?"

"I gotta pee! But I heard footsteps out in the hall which means Yuu has already finished counting and I can't go to the bathroom! What am I supposed to do?"

Tyki blinked, and silently weighed his options, staring down at the small boy. He could change Lavi back, but this Lavi was adorable too. Finally, he decided to just let Lavi stay a kid for now. After all, the Order expected all of them to stay children for a week.

"Um... I know where a bathroom is."

"You do?" Sparkles appeared in the green eye.

The Noah nodded. "Yes, there's a door to one in this very room." He pointed over to an oak door Lavi had not noticed before.

"Oh-ohh! Thank you!" Lavi began to toddle away quickly, when his arm was caught by Tyki.

"Ehh?" The toddler turned back to the man, and his hand moved instinctively to his Innocence, which was in an oversized holster on his hip.

Tyki placed a gentle hand over the hammer, and said calmly, "There's no need for that, Lavi. I was just going to say, can you keep a secret for me?"

Lavi nodded quickly, and stood on his tiptoes again, extending his ear towards Tyki. The Noah gently brushed a strand of red hair away from the ear. He bent down on his knees, and whispered to the small child, "I'm not supposed to be here. But I came to see you..."

Lavi flushed immediately, and then began to fidget with his fingers, pressing them together awkwardly. "Don't worry, Mr. Mikk! I- I won't tell a single person that you've been here-"

The man cut him off, and said, "You can call me Tyki."

The Exorcist bit his lip, and repeated slowly, "Ty...ki. O-okay! Thanks, Tyki! Bye bye!" He hop-skipped away to the bathroom door, and let himself in, shutting the door behind him.

Tyki Mikk stood up, and smiled, a Tease fluttering onto his top hat. He left the room silently, smiling to himself. This had definitely been one of his better ideas.

In the meantime, Krory and Miranda were trying to find a hiding place. Miranda ran down the hall, holding Krory's hand. "Come on, there's gotta be a good place somewhere..."

Krory said, "What about that one?" He pointed at a metal door.

She nodded, and ran up to it, jiggling the handle. "No good," said Miranda. "It's locked."

Suddenly, Krory said, "I have an idea! Step aside, please." Miranda obligingly moved out of the way, and Krory activated his Innocence. He bit the doorknob off, spitting it away. He then pushed the door open slowly, and held it for Miranda. The girl uncertainly walked into the room, followed by Krory.

The door slammed behind them. When Krory attempted to turn the doorknob, he discovered that it had stuck quite well. "Oh, damn... Let's hope Kanda finds us quick." said Krory into the sudden pitch-darkness that had fallen.

Miranda shivered.

Lenalee ran through the hallways, wondering out loud to herself. "Wow, this 'room' must be, like, half the Order! Komui is really, really bad at imprisoning people in small spaces, I guess... Now, where to hide?"

The Asian girl felt a tap on her shoulder, and turned around to see a very angry, very adorable Road Kamelot, who seemed to be reverted into a child-form not unlike Lenalee's.

At first, Lenalee panicked, and was about to invocate her boots when Road said, "Have you seen my uncle?"

Lenalee paused, easily distracted. "Uh, no. What does he look like?"

"He's very pretty, and has dark skin and a top hat. He has yellow eyes too."

"Then he must look a lot like you!" said Lenalee sweetly.

Road blushed, and then said, "Hey, so, can I ask you a question?"

Lenalee nodded quickly. "Sure!"

"Why are you hiding?"

Lenalee suddenly remembered the game. "Oh! I'm playing hide-and-seek with Kanda and Allen and... and..." Realization struck. "Road, why are you here? You're a Noah! You're evil! Get out!"

Road ignored the last three sentences, and said, swinging her pumpkin parasol, "I'm here looking for Uncle Tyki."

"And why are you... you know... like me? A little kid?"

At this, the Noah's facial expression grew dark and furious. "I wanted to do something with you, and Tyki thought that the best way for me to do that was to become a kid."

Lenalee's eyes lit up, and she blushed a little. "You wanted to do something with me? Wh-what was it?"

Road struggled with an explanation for a second, and then said quickly, "I wanted to... come and help you find a place to hide! Quick, over here! I think I heard Kanda!"

"Okay!" replied Lenalee without hesitation. She followed Road over to a broom closet, and let the door shut behind her.

Allen chuckled to himself as Lavi, Lenalee, Krory, and Miranda all ran into other rooms. They'd clearly had no experience in hiding before. The Exorcist hid quietly under the bed, being sure to not make any noise. He stayed there until Kanda finished counting, and then smiled silently as the Japanese Exorcist said, "Okay, I'm done! Ready or not, here I come!"

The dark-haired boy looked around at all the open doors that people had ran through, and shook his head, smirking. "This is gonna be too easy..."

He left the room through the door Lavi had left through, and then Allen exhaled loudly, a gigantic grin on his face. He repeated quietly, rolling out from his hiding spot, "This is gonna be too easy."

Gaarin: Hehe, I'm so proud of this story~! Also, each of the chapter names is gonna be something related to children and pop culture (i.e. song titles, idioms, movie titles, TV shows, etc.) so if you have any suggestions then feel free to tell me them!

Mizuhara: You've been writing so much fanfiction lately... don't you think it's time to do some actual homework for schoo-

Gaarin: Never! -hides- One last thing. Username OMGILoveToOmNomNoms or something, I know you asked for a Tyki chibi, but I wasn't actually thinking of including Tyki as a chibi. (Allen, Kanda, Lenalee, Krory, Lavi, Miranda, and now Road were already lots of chibi goodness...) Do you guys want me to put in kid!Tyki? Because if so I can try and add it to the plotline. There is a way that he could fit in, but it'll deviate a little from the original plotline I had in mind... What do you think?

Mizuhara: Most of them probably don't actually care, Gaa-baka...

Gaarin: -desperate ploy for superiority- VOTE FOR ME!
