Part 2:

Hisoka went to bed after work and was tossing and turning all through the night. Unknown to him, Tsuzuki had flown by a few times during the night and looked into his window to check on him. In the morning, though, Tsuzuki walked in, late as usual, and acted as if nothing was wrong. However, he was surprised to find that Hisoka was not in his office, but Watari and Tatsumi were.

"Huh? What's going on?"
"Tsuzuki, have you seen Kurosaki-kun yet today?"

"Hisoka? No, I'm afraid not. Why?"

"He hasn't come in for work."

"No?"

Tatsumi pushed up his glasses and gave out a hard stare.

"I received a call from him early this morning, saying that for reasons beyond his control, he could not come in. After what Watari told me about yesterday, we feel we should be concerned for Kurosaki-kun's safety."

"We tried to contact Bon a number of times but he wouldn't answer the phone."

"Do you think Hisoka is in some sort of trouble!"

"We can't be sure until we investigate."

"Tsuzuki, Watari, I want you both to go over to Kurosaki-kun's place and bring him back here."

"Understood."

"Okay, lets go."

In an instant, they teleported right outside Hisoka's door.

"Um, why didn't we just teleport ourselves inside?"

"Because, it would have been rude to enter without Hisoka's permission!"

Tsuzuki gave the door a knock, but there was no reply. They stood outside the door for a number of minutes, then decided to simply teleport in. Hisoka's appartment was spacious, but didn't have a lot inside it. It was plain and boring, but there was a calming feel to it.

"Bon? Are you home?"

"Hisoka?"

From beyond Hisoka's bedroom door, the two heard a muffled voice. Tsuzuki got up close to it and knocked.

"Hisoka?"

"What do you want?"

"We didn't see you at work and were told to pick you up. You…didn't answer the door, so we let ourselves in."

"Fine, now leave."

"We can't. Tatsumi told us to-"

"Go away!"

"Hisoka…? What's wrong with you?"

"…"

"If something is wrong, you can tell me."

"Tsuzuki… I can't come out…"

"Hm? Why not?"

Hisoka murmured something, but Tsuzuki couldn't hear him. So, he slowly let himself in and spotted Hisoka sitting amongst the messed blankets on his bed.

"Hisoka?"

"Tsuzuki, there's something wrong with me."

"Whatever it is, we can take care of it back at the office."

"I can't go there."

"Why not?"

"…My clothes wont fit me right."

"Oh…"

Tsuzuki froze for a minute, but then he started laughing. Hisoka was in front of him in moments. His clothes just barely hung on him, and he definitely looked smaller than before. He hit Tsuzuki on the head, but…it didn't hurt him.

Meifu:

On their way to the office, they stopped at the storeroom where they picked up clothes that would fit Hisoka. Now, in the conference room, Tatsumi, Konoe, Tsuzuki, the Gushoshin, and a very sorry Watari sat at the table staring at a younger Hisoka.

"Tell me what the deal is. Why is Kurosaki getting shorter?"

"I don't know how I could get my sex change potion so horribly wrong! I was showing him how it should work by way of vapor inhalation, but it went off when it wasn't supposed to. I thought he had avoided breathing it in, but I was wrong."

"So, how short is he going to get?"

"It's not only his size. According to the tests I ran earlier, Hisoka is fully regressing. He'll keep getting younger and younger."

"What? This can't be happening! Change me back right now!"

"Calm down, little one. We'll find a solution. WONT we, Watari?"

"I'll try my best, but it may take time."

Tsuzuki raised his hand.

"Watari, how quickly will Hisoka age, and when will it stop?"

"I'm afraid it isn't that simple a thing. He'll probably take a few days to age a year, but as time goes on, it may speed up his regression."

"And…what about when he reaches the end, when he regresses as far as he can?"

"He'll probably fade away."

The look on Hisoka's face was filled with fear and disbelief. He ran at Watari and held the man's shirt, as high up as he could reach. He had tears in his eyes as he yelled at him.

"I wont believe any of this! It's not true!"

"Bon."

"No! Change me back, right now! Fix me!"

Tsuzuki grabbed up Hisoka and pulled him away, cooing him into calmness.

"Well, he can't work while he's like this, so what will we do with him?"

"Tsuzuki, I'm sure, would be happy to watch him. Wouldn't you?"

"Uh, well… I don't know anything about taking care of children!"

"You'll do just fine. Now, take little Hisoka back to your office, Tsuzuki."

"…Yes sir, Mr. Tatsumi…"

Tsuzuki tried to lead Hisoka out of the room by the hand, but the child went back into his moody attitude and refused to let Tsuzuki touch him. He was so hard to deal with, Tsuzuki though. When they got back to their office, Tsuzuki watched as Hisoka climbed onto his chair and set his head down on his desk, and the older man started on his paperwork, and Hisoka's. After a few hours, Tsuzuki looked up to the clock. Noon. He set down his pen and smiled at Hisoka.

"It's lunch time, now, Hisoka. Are you hungry?"

"No. Leave me alone."

"Hisoka, little kids need to eat, and you're no exception. Now, what are you hungry for?"

"…"

Tsuzuki signed as he stood up and started for the door. Then, through the wood of the desk, Hisoka finally spoke.

"I…could eat a sandwich."

Tsuzuki smiled.

"How is turkey and ham with mayonnaise?"

"Fine."
