Wee, I actually wrote more of this! Truthfully, I'm not certain where this is going, I just hadda write Kyou as a chibi ^^"". Not sure how I'm going to resolve it and such. Oh well, it'll be an adventure!… really… ^^
Enjoy!

"I must say I'm curious how this happened. Not exactly a normal occurrence." Shigure mused, tapping a finger on his jaw.
Yuki sweat dropped, glancing at the older man in disbelief, unable to believe how blasé he was acting. It was amazing how little unaffected he always seemed to be.
"It's all my fault!" Tohru wailed suddenly, burying her face in her hands.
Shigure and Yuki stared at her in surprise.
"Huh?"
"Kyou was feeling so tired! So I got something from this lady that she said would give him energy. I was so worried! I didn't know this would happen! I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!" Tohru babbled, beginning to bob her head violently.
"Maa Maa. Calm down Tohru-kun." Shigure raised his hands soothingly.
"Don't worry, it's not your fault." Yuki smiled sweetly and the girl calmed down a bit, instantly placating her.
Seemingly annoyed at being ignored for so long, Kyou yanked violently on Yuki's arm, making a little whispering noise. Blinking, Yuki's bright eyes flickered down to the small boy. Immediately overjoyed about being acknowledged, Kyou smiled brightly, eyes closing as he clutched on the older boys sleeve.
Everyone else blinked.
"He sure doesn't act the same." Shigure smirked slightly.
"Well, he is probably around three years old I'd estimate. I doubt he has any real memories or thought process." Yuki said, eyebrows crinkling slightly.
There was a moment of quiet as everyone thought about that. The reality that the usually hot-tempered orange haired boy was only three years old now slowly sunk in, and there was a tension filled silence.
Which was promptly interrupted by Kyou as he made a loud whine and began to gnaw on Yuki's thumb, eyes falling contently to half-mast. The three adults stared at him.
"Definitely no memories." Shigure and Yuki stated simultaneously.
Sighing deeply, Yuki stood up. "Come on, let's go."
Tohru started towards Kyou, before realization bit her on the head and she paused.
"Oh! I can't pick him up can I?" She said, a light appearing over her head as she turned around and took at the two men.
Yuki took one look at Shigure and walked over to pick up the little bow. Kyou squealed at being lifted up and flung his arms around Yuki's neck. The purple haired youth blinked in shock. He had never experienced this kind of affection from the cat boy before, not even when they were young, though at that time they were definitely friendlier. Looking down at Kyou's happy, innocent face, Yuki was surprised at a surge of protectiveness that flashed through his chest. It was not an emotion he usually connected with Kyou.
Suddenly Yuki felt disgruntled. He was not suppose to have these sort of feelings about anyone, mostly not the Baka Neko of all people. "It's because he's a child! That's all!"
He whirled and stalked towards the door, making Kyou's eyes twirl dizzily. He pretty much forgot he was holding the small child in his arms as his mind fought valiantly against that brief emotion. The other two stared curiously at each other, before shrugging and following him out.
They got to the main house in a record time, for Yuki was speed walking and Kyou felt no need to misbehave, completely content to be held by the purple haired bishounen. He laid his head on the slight shoulder and stared back, watching Tohru and Shigure as they trailed behind.
Yuki stalked through the gates of the main house, faintly noticing he didn't feel the normal overwhelming sense of trepidation. There was no one at the front lot, so he simply curved an immediate path towards Hatori's house. Striding up the door, he pushed it aside and stepped through, bright eyes immediately finding the stern doctor. Hatori gazed at him in slight surprise, though it didn't show on his face. He stood up from where he was placing a bandage on Hatsuharu's shoulder.
"Yuki? What are you doing here?" Haru asked. {Just if you don't know, Haru is a shortening of Hatsuharu}
Yuki didn't bother to reply, instead just holding out the small chibi. Kyou blinked as he was dangled out, but didn't protest, simply swinging his legs.
Hatori and Haru blinked.
"You know, he looks rather like Kyou." Haru stated softly.
"He – Is – Kyou." Yuki stated with slow deliberation.
Double blink plus a sweat drop.
"How did this happen?" Hatori asked.
"Tohru gave him something to perk him up, but it seemed to have a completely different effect." Shigure said as he walked in the door.
Hatori nodded, taking it all in stride. "Put him on that table."
Nodding, Yuki complied. Kyou looked a little betrayed about being put down, but the young child allowed it with only a small grunt of displeasure.
Hatori walked over and leaned in close, placing a stethoscope against the small chest. There was silence as the solemn man listened closely. He than stood up and wrote down some stuff in his notes. Kyou stared at the shinny object, before he reached out and grasped it in curiosity. Bringing it close, he did what any other three year old would do. He put in his mouth and chewed.
Jerking away, Hatori winced slightly and reached a hand out to gently detangle the stethoscope from the small boys mouth, grimacing at the spit that dripped from it.
Shigure chuckled slightly; completely unfazed by the blankly dark look he received from his friend.
It took less than ten minutes for Hatori to finish the examination. They quickly found as long as Yuki was close enough, Kyou would relatively behave and not fight to get away from the sometimes-uncomfortable touches.
"It looks like he likes you a lot more as a child than as an adult." Shigure stated insensitively.
Haru and Yuki looked at him sharply and Tohru gazed at them all a little uncomfortably. She looked slowly from one of them to another, wanting to break the tension but unsure how too. Kyou also looked around curiously, not quite understanding of what was going on, but still disliking it nonetheless.
So he did the only thing his small mind could think of. He cried.
The rest cringed in pain as great big wails penetrated their ears, hands rising to cover the sides of their heads in self-defense.
"Ouch!" Shigure yelped. "Stop him!"
Everyone looked expectantly at Yuki, and with a very dour expression, the slim youth walked over to the wailing child and lifted him up into his arms. After a few soothing strokes, the small boy relaxed and placed his orange covered head against Yuki's shoulder, jamming his thumb into his mouth. Unaware of what he was doing, Yuki began to rock slightly, the movement relaxing the child even more.
Every stared at the shockingly paternal actions of Yuki and the absolutely adorable picture the two made. It was just something they had never thought they'd see, exempting the fact that they never expected Kyou to turn into a chibi.
Red eyes began to drift shut as Kyou felt himself grow sleepy. The warmth combined with the soothing movements were turning his muscles into mush and now all he wanted to do was sleep.
Hatori got up silently and walked over to where Tohru and Shigure stood, not wanting to disrupt the serene scene before them. Leaning forward slightly, he addressed the young girl.
"Tohru-san, I don't suppose you still have some of the meat that the lady gave you." Torhu looked at him dazedly, before she began to nod frantically as she rooted through her purse.
"Yes! Here it is! I put it in here!" She pulled out a small plastic bag that held a few pieces of inconspicuous meat.
Shigure looked at her for a long moment. "You brought it?"
Tohru looked up at him with her wide, innocent eyes. "I thought I should, just in case!"
"It's good you did, that means I can start studying it right away." Hatori stated, turning and walking over to a small fridge, where he promptly placed the meat.
"You are going to study it?" Haru asked, walking slowly over to where Kyou was dozing in Yuki arms.
"Yes. Perhaps I can find out what element in it has changed Kyou into this child." Hatori stated blandly.
Haru nodded slowly, leaning closer to get a good look at the chibi. Kyou's red eyes flickered open as he felt the breath against his check, but he didn't seem disturbed at finding the older boy standing so close to him. Instead, the chibi reached out and tugged on the white hair, giggling drowsily.
"He doesn't act like Kyou." Haru said.
"No. I doubt he has any of the memory that may have shaped him to be the way he is." Yuki replied.
Haru reached out to stroke one soft check, before moving his head in agreement and leaning back.
"You can take him home. I doubt him being here will help in the least. It would probably be best if he was in a environment that is more… relaxed." Hatori said, the last word drawn out a bit.
Everyone else agreed, and those that lived in Shigure's house rose to their feet, preparing to go. Truthfully, none of them wanted to stay at the main house too much longer. It brought bad feelings for all of them, including the ones that lived there.
Kyou snorted slightly as he was jostled, but didn't really wake. It seemed like the activity tired him out. Either that or the transformation took more out of him than they realized. (Which they couldn't really be sure about because they didn't know if his transformation to a chibi was anything like their transformation to their respective animals)
Scowling slightly, Yuki realized there was no way he could put on his jacket while the little chibi still slept in his arms, and with a low sigh, he resigned himself to freezing on the way home.
"Your jacket." Haru said.
Yuki silently shifted the slumbering chibi, explaining without words why he hadn't bothered to put it on. Haru looked at him, than at Kyou, and held out his arms.
"Your bronchitis." The white haired boy explained simply.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Yuki could see Hatori nod in agreement, and with surprising reluctance, he handing Kyou over. The chibi jerked slightly, eyes opening to see why he had been taken from his favorite person. However, finding only that the white haired boy was holding him a few feet away from Yuki, the chibi relaxed into the bigger boys arms. While Yuki was definitely his favorite, there was something about the white haired boy that soothed him. His presence was relaxing, not at all energetic like dog-smelling one, or stern like the one that had checked him over. Grasping lightly at Haru's shirt, he arched until he was more comfortable and settled back down into a doze.
Yuki swiftly placed his coat on, and took the snoozing Kyou back, nodding to the ones that were staying behind and heading for the door. He just wanted to get home and sleep.
"What's going on here?" A low, silky voice asked.
Yuki felt his shoulders hunch slightly and the mood in the room tensed a bit, all feeling a bit uncomfortable with the circumstances. Very slowly, Yuki turned to look at the door, dreading what he would see.
In the doorway, thing frame draped with a long, white robe, stood Akito, grim smile on his face.

~*~*~
Wah!~! Akito. Duh duh duh!!! Poor Yuki! I never meant to torture him this way, but I thought it would be fun to have some interaction between Akito and a chibi Kyou who could probably care less to the former is ^^. What will happen? And all out mud war? I wish ^^. I'll try and get the next chapter out soon!
