*******Chapter 7 - Minimizing Down*******
The early sun peeked through the window of Yusuke's bedroom, casting faint sunlight over the spirit detective. Yusuke stirred in his sleep then turned over, away from the sun's bright radiance. After 15 minutes, he awoke. Sitting on his bed, Yusuke yawned widely while rubbing his sleep blurried eyes. He got out of bed, jumped down onto the floor and ran over to the chair he had his clothes on. Reaching up for his T-shirt, he pulled on the green material until it fell into his hands. He hurriedly pulled it over his head and went to get his shoes on. Pulling on his black sneakers, Yusuke was bewildered to find out they were much too big on him. He then also realized his green shirt was much bigger too, it ballooned down and over his knees. The confused spirit detective ran to his door and looked at the mirror that was hung on behind it. He was now only 3 and 1/2 feet tall...... "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
********************
Kurama had fallen asleep when he only meant to take a slight nap, obviously he was more tired than he thought. Kurama threw off his coverlet and automatically realized something was wrong. Not only was the bed much bigger than he normally viewed it but everything was out of proportion, they appeared 2x bigger than they were suppose to be. Kurama leaped on his desk chair, pulled open a drawer and whipped out a tape measure. He measured his height and discovered he was only 3'7. Stunned, he thought,'Oh, god....I'm 7 years old again.....'
********************
Kuwabara yawned hugely and with a thud, he had fallen off his bed onto the floor. 'Hey, what the......?' He had just noticed he was only a little taller than the bed. "EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!" He screamed in a high pitch.
********************
His back stiffening uncomfortably from lying on a tree branch the whole night, Hiei sat up and stretched. His katana slipped out of his grasp and he grabbed at it frantically. He caught it by the bandages, which were wrapped around the scabbard and hauled it up back onto the tree branch. Hiei hugged his sword to his torso but it began to slip again. He realized he was about the same size as his blade, save for a couple of inches. "Damn, what's going on?!" He swiftly stood up and, grasping his sword with both hands, began leaping from tree to tree to go find Kurama.
Hiei finally reached Kurama's house, where he met the kitsune sneaking out his window. Scampering across the roof and performing a neatly executed jump, Kurama landed on the ground and gestured for Hiei to follow him. The jaganshi looked at his companion questioningly as to why he would sneak off. Kurama smiled, "My mother would have a field day if she saw me like this. I can't exactly walk out the front door." Then the two demons took off for Koenma's.
********************
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! I'M A......I'M A MIDGET!!!!" Yusuke furiously yelled, banging his fists on Koenma's desk. The group had arrived at the office where they were seated on high stools like Koenma. The prince of hell calmly replied,"Quiet down, Yusuke! We will find a solution to this. Ogre! Do we have a tape of Yusuke's last mission?" An orange ogre standing in the room nodded and went to retrieve the tape. He came back in a couple of minutes, holding a boxed tape and handed it to Koenma. Koenma slipped the tape out of the box and hurriedly shoved the tape into his VCR-like device. The spirit detectives watched as they ran through the maze, defeated the element warriors, met up with the others again, got knock out gas sprayed on them......
Koenma started in recognization. He paused the video and pointed at the screen. "There's your problem! Ogre, get a sample of that knock out gas!" The ogre obediently compiled and returned with a vile of pinkish smoke-like substance. Koenma held it up for the others to see, explaining,"This is not just ordinary knock out gas. It contains remnants of a potion called nitsuku, a shrinking solution. Since the doses of nitsuku in the gas was small, the effects were not called on until this early morning."
Suddenly the door of the office slid open and Botan along with 2 other girls walked in. The spirit detectives recognized the taller of the two girls was Koyuki. The additional girl was about the same size as Yusuke and the others were startled to find that it was Kori. Kori was confused about her odd shrinking and Koenma had to explain it all over again. Botan interrupted in with,"I was scouting the city for Yusuke because I heard reports of a mysterious fiend attacking a nearby city when I ran into these two girls. They asked for my assistance and I thought it would've been wise to come here."
Kurama looked thoughtful for a moment. "When we were returning back to the room, we had Kori with us. She must've gotten a dose of the potion from the remains of it from when we passed through the waiting room the second time."
Koenma was deep in thought. "A mysterious fiend, you say, Botan? Yusuke, it might be for the best that you go check this out while we work on a remedy to reverse the effects. We have no choice, this 'fiend' could be dangerous."
Yusuke rolled his eyes,"I don't get a day off from work, even when I become undersized. Ah, that's life! Let's go, guys." Kuwabara looked very nervous about going on a mission when they were super small but Kurama and Hiei shrugged and stood up. The whole gang darted out the door. After they left, Botan let out a suppressed chuckle. "Heehee, they're all so adorable when they're little kids! I wonder what happened?" Koenma shook his head and laughed,"Growing up, I guess."
********************
In another part of the city, Yusuke shot a spirit gun at the 'mysterious fiend' which turned out to be an escaped demon from the Makai. From one so small, a regular sized beam of spirit energy blasted out from Yusuke's finger and he looked at it, amazed. "I guess size don't change amount of power you got." Hiei and Kurama quickly finished off the demon by slashing it into bits with their weapons. "Woo hoo! Another demon done in by the amazingly powerful detectives, yeah!" Kuwabara punched his fist into the air.
"Oh, shut up, Kuwabara. You didn't do anything, you just ran and hid when the demon roared at you!" Yusuke laughed, teasing his friend. "You shut up, Urameshi! I did so do something!" Kuwabara retaliated. Yusuke shrugged. "Whatever....."
"Let's call it a day, shall we?" Kurama asked. Hiei had already turned to leave and the others followed. Yusuke and Kuwabara went back again to Yusuke's place while Kurama left for his own house. But Hiei was a different story, instead of resigning back to Kurama's tree, he escaped through a portal back into the apparition world.
********************
A figure in black observed as a young sea green haired girl nursed an injured bird. "There, I'm finished. Does that feel better?" The girl asked the bird while gently bandaging its wing. The bird gave a chirp of happiness and the girl smiled fondly at it. Three other critters that were gathered around her nudged her.
"Oh!" The maiden clasped a hand to her mouth. "It's getting cold. We should go." She gathered all the animals into her arms and walked away. Hiei breathed a sigh of relief after the girl left. "Yukina......she's okay......" He then turned and vanished.
********************
"Mother! Mother, are you home?" Kurama shouted as he moved through the house. He shuffled into the kitchen where he found a note on the table. 'Shuichi, gone out grocery shopping. Be back by dinner. ~Mom' read the note. Kurama dropped the note back on the table and sighed, thinking,"Mother....." He was obviously worried about her condition. Even though the Forlorn Hope had healed her sickness, Kurama worried that symptoms might suddenly rush back.
He walked into his room and finished some work for school. After, Kurama studied for a while then went to find Hiei, who had still not returned. The youko had just walked out the front door when he heard rustling noises in his backyard. 'That must be Hiei......' Turning around again, he proceeded into his yard, where he found Hiei sitting on a tree branch in deep thought. Having some difficultly reaching the tree branch because of his shrunken height, Kurama managed to get to the tree limb. He plunked down beside Hiei and asked,"Hiei, what's wrong?" The smaller demon hugged his katana closer and replied blandly,"Nothing....."
"Is this about Yukina?" Kurama looked questioningly at Hiei.
"Hn...." came the reply.
"You know, Hiei, she will find out sooner or later. I suspect she would like to hear it coming from you than anyone else...."
Hiei turned away. Kurama looked towards the sun, now setting and creating a beautiful red orange background. "It's getting dark. Mother's coming home soon....." He gave Hiei a sympathetic glance then jumped off the tree, landing smartly. Hiei watched the lights go on in the house. He then looked in the same direction Kurama did 20 seconds ago, at the fiery sunset.
********************
An hour later, Kurama had already finished dinner and was pacing in the kitchen rapidly. It was dark and his mother still hadn't returned. 'What if something has happened to her?!' Kurama thought, suddenly very nervous. 'But in my current state, I can't go look for her! It would be odd if a 8 year child is out on the streets alone! Damn, why did the potion have to go into effect now?! Oh well! I don't have a choice! I'll ask Hiei to help!'
The frantic Kurama rushed to the back door and threw it open. "Hiei! Hiei! Help!" Hiei literally materialized in front of Kurama. "What is it?!" Hiei appeared concerned.
"My mother! She's not back yet, will you help me search for her? I'm worried but in my present condition I can't do much. Help me look for her?" Kurama pleaded Hiei. Startled, Hiei responded,"Let's get started."
Kurama felt relieved for having such a loyal friend and nodded to Hiei. The two set off into the city.
********************
"Come on! Come on! One more hit!!!" Yusuke furiously pressed the buttons on his controller as the character on the TV screen yelled a war cry and slashed his enemy through the stomach. "YES!!!! I win!!!" A giant PLAYER 1 WINS sign flashed across the screen as Yusuke threw his arms up in a triumphant stance.
"NOOOOOO!!!" Kuwabara banged his fists on Yusuke's room's floor. His head shot up as he yelled,"Urameshi! I want a rematch!"
"That was the 5th time I beat you! You got no chance, Kuwabara!" Yusuke grinned widely.
"That's because....because I have small hands! You had bigger hands than I did when I was little! Yeah! I want a rematch!" Kuwabara pointed at Yusuke. "I'm going to pound your character into the floor this time!"
Yusuke sighed and leaned back. Suddenly he jolted forward. "Kuwabara! Do you feel it? This weird energy?"
"Yeah, it's kinda creepy......" Kuwabara shivered.
Yusuke nodded to Kuwabara. "We should check it out....it feels close......" The boys put away their game station and promptly ran out through the front door. Atsuko, still in the kitchen, was not aware that her son and his friend exited out the door.
********************
Kurama ran through the street, yelling breathlessly,"Mother! Mother, where are you?! Mother!" Other passerbys stared rudely at the oddness of a child darting through the streets, followed by another dressed all in black and carrying a sword. Hiei walked 5 paces behind his youko companion and sighed. "Kurama, you fool....you're making a hectic scene and plus you'd have a better chance making Kuwabara's brain work than finding your mother that way......"
Kurama turned back for a second. "Do you have a better idea, Hiei?" Hiei reached up to his forehead and proceeded to pull off his bandana. Kurama gestured violently to all the people crowding around and snapped,"Not here!" Hiei stared at him, thinking 'Well, this is unusual. Kurama snapped.....always calm Kurama is being taken over by his panic....." Hiei sighed again. To his frantic friend, he said,"Come on....." Kurama followed Hiei behind a store where they both leapt onto the rooftop, using the window ledges.
Hiei pulled off his bandana, letting his now glowing Jagan show. He closed his eyes and concentrated, first checking to see if Shiori Minamino had been taken to Makai. The results turned up negative. Focusing again now on the human world, Hiei finally locked onto her location. "She's 6 blocks away, being held captive in a warehouse. But I can't tell who has kidnapped her, it must a skilled demon who can blur and block mind transmission......"
Kurama began racing across the rooftops, Hiei close behind. "Should we get Yusuke and Kuwabara to help?" Kurama, calm again asked. Hiei looked in disbelief at Kurama, stating sarcastically,"Yes, we do need the humans around to help because we can't do this all by ourselves. We can handle it."
Finally they reached the warehouse. But as they got to the front, the 2 demons were shocked to find Yusuke and Kuwabara standing there already, arguing loudly. "No! I still say we bust in the front door and kick their asses head on!" Yusuke shouted at his friend.
"But what if they're ready for us?! With ray guns and everything?!" Kuwabara looked more scared than excited.
Kurama chuckled and the two human detectives spun around. "They're demons, Kuwabara, not aliens!" Suddenly he turned serious. "But they're holding my mother captive, we must save her."
Yusuke cracked his knuckles. "Let's do it....." The four spirit detectives shoved open the wide doors and walked inside the dark warehouse cautiously. "Youko, is this what you're looking for?" asked a raspy voice coming from the front of the room. The doors shut all by themselves as the lights suddenly clicked on. The whole group winced as brightness hit them full on in the face. As they adjusted to the sudden lighting quickly, a muffled yell was heard.
Kurama glanced towards the direction where the raspy voice came from. The sight shocked him. An ugly, warted purple demon was gripping his mother, Shiori, who was bound and gagged. Her eyes were filled with tears and Kurama gasped as he saw that she sported black and purple bruises all over her arms, legs and face. "Mother?! Get your filthy hands off her!" Kurama yelled, full of fury at what they did to her.
Shiori was relieved to see that her son had been unharmed. Her unshed crystal clear tears began streaming down her face as she cried out, her voice muffled by the gag,"Shuuichi!"
Kurama sprinted forward as fast as he could towards his mother, ignoring everything else. "Mother!"
