"Putting the Ko in Kouyama" by Tailspower5
Chapter 2 – Don't think of it as shrinking! Think of everything expanding in size but you.
Well, at least I don't have to go into work today, thought a saddened, and slowly shrinking, Mitsuki. I can stay here and hide all day if I wanted t..
All of a sudden, there was a RING! RING! It was Mitsuki's cell phone.
"Mitsuki? Are you there?", asked a familiar voice. It was the voice of Mitsuki's manager, Ooshige-san!
"Tell her you're not here", whispered Meroko. "Tell her you're…sick."
"I'm not going at lying, Meroko! Besides, I'm sure Ooshige-san would understand. She knows about you two, remember?" Reluctantly, Mitsuki picked up the phone. She shrunk again, this time to 3' 7".
you can probably tell that this fanfic is based on the anime and not the manga from this little piece of information
"H-Hello?" asked Mitsuki, very worried. "Ooshige-san?"
"Mitsuki! What's wrong? Your voice sound higher than usual. Are you sick?"
"No. But would you happen to believe that I'm slowly shrinking in height as I talk to you?"
"Um…maybe. After all, I hang around with a talking cat and rabbit every day now."
"Well…I am shrinking. Now I'm about 3 and a half.."
Another shrink spurt occurred.
"3 and 3 inches tall".
"Eh! Really! Hurry over and let me see you! Maybe Wakaouji-san can help".
"I'll try", said a worried Mitsuki. "Bye bye-" And yet another shrinking spurt. Mitsuki now stood 3 feet exactly.
"This is just getting weird", thought Takuto. We'll have to wait for you to get smaller before we could get you out of here unnoticed."
"How long do you think that will take for Mitsuki to get smaller?" asked Meroko to Takuto.
"Considering the rate she's going, it shouldn't take much more than 30 or 40 minutes for her to get 6 inches high, which is when the shrinking will stop." "6 INCHES!" exclaimed both Mitsuki and Meroko. "You're not serious, are you!"
"Yep."
Sigh…I'll be so small, even Eichi-kun wouldn't be able to recognixe me.. thought Mitsuki. Mitsuki imagined herself, in her Full Moon form, running happily to Eichi. She ran up to his legs, thinking Eichi would notice her. But instead of noticing her, Eichi thinks that she's a doll. He picks her up and says to her, "What a cute doll. Reminds me of someone I know.." Instead of being sad, though, Mitsuki was smiling in her dream, happy that Eichi called her cute.
Soon after that image, Mitsuki snapped out of her dream sequence, during which she shrunk another 4 inches in height. "Wow, everything's getting so big", chirped Mitsuki. "I feel like I'm in Alice in Wonderland."
"Um…weren't you just saying how bad it was to be so small?" asked Takuto.
"Yes. But being small could be fun, too. For example, I wonder what Ooshige-san and Wakaouji-sensei's reactions will be?"
Mitsuki, once again, shrunk in height, this time to 2' 3". "Am I small enough now, Takuto?" Takuto shaked his head left and right. "OK then. As long as grandmother or Tanaka-san doesn't come.."
"MITSUKI-CHAN!" said a loud, worried voice. Oh no! It's Tanaka-san! A worried Mitsuki thought to herself. I can't let see me like this!
"Quick, let's all get….on the roof!" Meroko and Takuto turned into their shinigami forms, and Takuto carried Mitsuki up to the roof. And not a moment too soon; Tanaka-san had just opened the door. "Perhaps she went to the doctor?" asked Tanaka-san to herself. "Oh well. She didn't want to go to the movies with me anyway, I'll bet."
On the roof, Mitsuki, now 2 feet tall, Takuto, and Meroko breathe a sigh of relief that's Mitsuki was not caught.
"That was a close one! Thank you, Takuto!" chirped a happy Mitsuki, hugging Takuto's leg. Takuto turned into his animal form, and hugged her back. "Think nothin' of it", he smoothly said.
"Hey! You never hug me in animal form!" a jealous Meroko, now back in her bunny form, grumbled. Mitsuki slightly pushed Takuto into Meroko, and the two, technically, hug.
Thanks, Mitsuki! smiled a happy Meroko. Takuto, however, was not as amused.
"Since we're on the roof anyway, how about we set off?" asked Mitsuki, now only a little more than 20 inches tall.
"Okay, but we need something to carry you in", agreed Takuto. "But what?"
"Hmm…." thought Mitsuki, now about 17 inches in height. "How about my school bag? You said I'll get down to 6 inches, right? By then, I'll be small lenough to fit in."
"I'll get get it", smiled Meroko, hurrying down through the roof and back up, with her schoolbag in tow. "Now all we have to do is wait for you to get down to 6 inches."
"Why 6 inches?" asked Mitsuki, who shrank down to 14 inches when asking that question. "Are you afraid if they see me shrink, they'll get scared?" "No, because you won't be as heavy", snerked Meroko. "Meroko!..", said a sad Mitsuki, now only a foot tall.
"Hmm..you know what I just realized?" asked Takuto to Mitsuki, both her and Meroko watching him. "I never bothered to notice whether or not you can turn into a 16 year-old in this form." Takuto snapped his fingers, and assuredly enough, Mitsuki transformed! She was a little taller, had long, blonde hair, and still was wearing the same clothes she woke up in. Her clothes were smaller now, though, revealing her bellybutton.
"Ah!" Mitsuki exclaimed, looking at her belly button. "I wonder if I could still get some clothes that make me look..less revealing?" "I could do that", said Meroko. "What kind of clothes do you have in mind?"
A FEW HOURS LATER
Mitsuki, Takuto, and Meroko finally arrived in Ooshige-san's office. Takuto, in human form, came in to meet her, with bunny form Meroko and Mitsuki., now 6 inches high, in the latter's bookbag he was carrying.
"Where's Mitsuki!" a worried Ooshige wondered. "Is she okay! Is she hurt!"
"Don't worry. She's right here", comforted Takuto, opening up the top part of the schoolbag near a table. Mitsuki, a half a foot high, in her 16 year-old, and wearing a yellow high school school uniform similar to that of Maron from Kamikaze Kaiotu Jeanne, jumped up to her desk, and waved her hand.
"Good afternoon, Ooshige-san!" she smiled.
"EH?" went Ooshige. And with that, she fainted, and collapsed on the floor.
"That could've gone better", said Meroko. Mitsuki and Takuto nodded in agreement.
