Chapter Five

            I was still sleeping on Yuki's bed together. It was midnight, and I was too sleepy to get out of bed. I wanted to go to the bathroom.

            "Yuki…" I murmured, snuggling on his chest. But I felt strange at once, too strange. But I didn't really mind it at all. So I put on my teddy bear slippers and turned on the light. I was thirsty too. I thought that maybe I should drink a glass of water. But instead of that, I shrieked.

            "YUKIII?!! What happened to you?!!!" I fell to the floor, stammering in fear and confusion.

            I nearly didn't recognize the person who was sleeping beside me. But when I looked closely, it was Yuki. I thought I was dreaming, so I pinched my own arm. It hurt.

            "How come?" stammering, I stood up, slowly neared the bed. His shirt and pants were suddenly bigger. But I finally realized that Yuki was the one who got smaller…???

            "Yuki?" I gave him a deep sharp gaze at him. His hair, his ears, his nose, his lips, his hands, his legs, his…oh, Kami-sama!!!

            "Are you nuts or crazy? Why did I really come here anyway?" Hiro was puzzled as I pulled him inside the apartment room.

            "You have to see him." I forced.

            "No, no, no way. Yuki would kill me if I came here at 1 AM. No way!" Hiro kept on struggling.

            "But he can't kill you,"

            "Of course he can."

            "Not anymore…"

            "Why?"

            I dragged Hiro into Yuki's room. And I pointed to the bed.

            I thought he might jump away, scream or even faint. But his reaction was…"Whose kid is this?"

            "This is YUKI!!!" I grasped Hiro's arm and shook him hard.

            "What?!" Hiro was shocked. But actually…he started to laugh. "This is a joke, right? So funny! Ha..ha..ha…I'm going home," I couldn't believe that he didn't care at all.

            "Hiro, I'm not joking. Come on. Trust me. This IS Yuki,"

            Hiro's eyes wandered to the 'kid' who was sleeping on the bed. "Well, I still can't believe it. You mean, when you got up, alakazam…Yuki turned into a kid. No, no, this is so impossible."

            Little Yuki started to move his arms and legs. His tiny mouth opened, yawning. But those eyes slowly opened too. Those sharp and hypnotizing green eyes were changed into innocent eyes of a little child. I stared him deeply. But when our eyes met, I nearly fainted.

            "Onii-chan…" he jumped to his tiny feet and hugged me. I felt eerie at once. What happened to the world? I thought I would never know.

            Hiro stayed in the apartment, he slept on the couch. I had pockets under my eyes because I nearly didn't sleep last night. Yuki was still sleeping. I had worn him my T-shirt, and it was still too big for him. He even peed on the bed. Yikes! Eww…

            "Ohayo, Hiro…" I listlessly made two cups of tea. Yuki was playing with spoon on the table. Maybe I should give him some milk.

            "Ohayo," Hiro sat on the table, next to Yuki. I could read his mind. 'So this is not a dream after all, right?' Yes, it was reality. (O_0);;

            Yuki had shrunken up. I knew it. Those guys on the alley street were wizards from the Harry Potter books whom caught a spell on Yuki. Yeah, I thought that it was the fact.

            "Onii-chan…thirsty…" Yuki gave me that cute glance again. I didn't know I should smile or being worried…I felt fuzzy.

            "Here, Yuki." I handed him a glass of milk. But I realized that he couldn't really do that. He only got three front teeth. His age might be less then a year, a baby. His attitude changed, and he seemed to forget about everything though he still could recognize me, or Hiro. He even couldn't stop stumbling when he walked.

            "We have to tell the others. Maybe they can fix him up," Hiro suggested as I feed milk to Yuki with a spoon.

            "But how can they help us?" I lost my optimism.

            "They HAVE to, if you don't want to be a baby-sitter for the rest of your life,"

            "What?!" I gasped.

            "I better get to the studio earlier," Hiro said as he stood up.

            "Hey, don't leave me! Hiro, help me!!!" I shouted out. But he just ignored, leaving me with Yuki who already spilt the glass of milk to his body.

            "Oh, no…Yuki, I don't have the right cloth size for you. I don't even have baby food or drinking bottle." I sighed, lifting him up and carry him to the bathroom.

Yuki shrieked in laughter. He threw the spoon to the floor and hugged me. I could see his bunny teeth when he laughed out loud, shouting 'Oni-chan' over and over again as he pulled my ears. Help me, anybody…

Avatar-chan: How about that? Do you want some more Yuki's cute action or I go right to the point? And it is up to you guys to decide which way would Yuki turn to normal. With a professor's potion or Fushigi Yuugi's magic spell? (~_^);;
