You see correctly, it is another chibi chapter! And of course we got another character who would be absolutely cute as a chibi! So let's find out what happens!


Chapter 9: Curse of the Chibis II (Vanitas)

Ventus was making his way down the hall when he heard a shout of distress. It was coming from the end of the hall where Vanitas's room was. Without missing a beat Ventus ran down and swung open the door.

"Vanitas?! What's wrong?"

But there was no one in the room. It was completely empty. "That's weird…" Ventus muttered as he walked further into the room. "I could have sworn I heard Vanitas yell. Maybe he already left for the day?"

Ventus began to look around the room, just in case he was missing anything. He then noticed the bed and how the sheets were nearly pulled off to the side opposite of him. He hummed as he walked over there to get a better look and saw that there was something small wrapped up in the sheets. Far too small to actually be Vanitas.

Feeling curious, Ventus reached forward and pulled the sheets back. Right after he did he let out a gasp, stumbling back slightly. It was such a shock at what he was seeing, he almost couldn't believe it.

Now with the sheets gone, the little lump he had seen was in fact Vanitas! But… he was so small… and so rounded. At least from what Ventus could tell for Vantias was currently wearing his dark outfit with the helmet up. But it was for a sure fact Vanitas despite the small size.

"V-Vanitas? Is that you?"

"You can't tell anyone about this!" Vanitas shouted before jumping to his feet, revealing just how small and disproportionate he really was. "If you do I'll kill you for it!"

"But… what happened to you?" Ventus asked casually, knowing Vanitas's threats were never real no matter how much he persisted about them.

"How should I know!? I go to sleep fine then I wake up like this! I wake up to find myself… that I've… I've…"

"You've turned into a chibi," Ventus finished.

"Don't say it! I don't want to hear it!" Vanitas shouted. No doubt he was scowling under his helmet.

Ventus couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of it. He started to wonder what Vanitas had to look like since the rest of his body had been shrunken down into a chibi form. It was probably cute and Ventus so badly wanted to tease Vanitas on it. He would just have to find a way to get him to take his helmet off. Somehow… he would figure out a way.

"So you have no idea how it happened?" Ventus asked.

"No! But I bet I caught it from Sora," Vanitas mumbled.

"But… if I recall wasn't Riku the one who became a chibi, not Sora?" Ventus asked.

He recalled the news Sora had shared with all of them a few days ago, and how he had gushed over how cute Riku had become in his chibi form. Though Riku was still currently in that form, no solution or answer had been found yet.

"Ah well Sora probably got it from Riku but it hasn't hit him yet," Vanitas grumbled before crossing his little stubby arms.

"I think we should let the others know though. Whatever it is could be contagious or something else," Ventus said before stepping a bit closer.

"No! We aren't letting anyone else see my like this! I'm staying right here!" Vanitas shouted before he flopped to the ground.

Ventus snickered at the sight of Vanitas. At first he didn't understand why Sora thought it was such a big deal. He saw the pictures of Riku and did admit seeing a chibi Riku pout was fairly entertaining, but he didn't really see the appeal then. But now he understood it perfectly.

Vanitas was positively adorable as a chibi.

"Well if we aren't taking you out to see anyone, I guess I will have to bring them all here," Ventus chuckled.

"No no no!" Vantias shouted. "You are not doing that!"

Running over to Ventus, he began to punch him in the legs. Though with his little hands, it proved to be not very effective. Ventus bent over and picked up the little angry chibi and held him firmly. Vantias flailed and grumbled angrily, but he could not break free from the blond's hold.

"You don't have to be such a child Vanitas, you weren't deaged," Ventus laughed.

"I don't care! This is not fun for me! Now let me go Ventus!" Vanitas howled, still trying to escape.

"Too late," Ventus tease before heading out the room, carrying Vanitas with him.


"Oh my gosh Ven, you're right, he is so cute!" Aqua exclaimed.

After some more complaining and overacting from Vantias, he finally had worn himself out. That gave Ventus enough time to text Aqua and Terra to inform them to head over right away. Now that they were there, they all were surrounding the table, where Vantias was sitting. He had his little arms wrapped around his little knees and his helmet was still up. Everyone could only wonder what his facial expression was.

"I never thought that I would actually agree on something positive about Vanitas," Terra added teasingly.

"Hey!" Vanitas shouted, wiping his head up to stare at Terra. Though with the helmet there was still no way to tell how he looked.

"Can't you please take off the helmet Vani? We would like to see your face," Aqua asked as polite as she could.

"No freaking way! I saw what I looked like and I am not letting anyone else see it. Now one of you call someone to figure out what the heck happened and how to fix it!"

"Maybe later," Ventus said before laughing. He had begun to think about Vanitas's helmet though. He knew there was a way to get it off without Vanitas having to do it himself. He remembered that there was a way for it… but he was having trouble remembering exactly what it was. If only he could recall that way… it would make everything so much better.

"I don't see how any of you can find this funny!" Vanitas shouted loudly. He jumped up to his feet and started pointing to each of them. "I am sure if this happened to any of you, you would be the same! Riku isn't happy with it after all!"

"Well he didn't complain quiet as much as you are," Terra stated. "He at least didn't make any entire fuss about it."

"I bet he is thinking it though!" Vanitas grumbled.

"Oh!" Aqua exclaimed, clasping her hands together. "What we if got the two of you together. For like a playdate! It would be so adorable!"

"No! Nope! I am not doing that! That sounds stupid and demeaining. Calling it a playdate makes it sounds like you think I'm just a baby. But I am not!" Vanitas shook his arms up and down, no doubt also pouting underneath his mask.

Aqua laugh at the sight. Though Vanias protested, he was acting exactly like a child. "Oh Vanitas, please can you take off your helmet? I really would like to see your face."

"No!" Vanitas responded rudely before he crossed his arms.

Ventus's eyes widened suddenly. "Wait! I remember! Aqua! Hold Vanitas, I think I got this."

"Just what do you think you are going to do?" Vanitas asked, trying to back away, but Aqua was quick to grab him. "Hey! Let go of me!"

"What is it Ven?" Aqua asked as she held the flailing chibi Vanitas.

Ventus smirked. "I remember how to unlock Vanitas's helmet."

Vanitas began to flail even more, desperately trying to break free. "No you don't! You don't remember anything! Don't do it!"

Ventus laughed as he walked over and placed his hand at the back of the helmet. He started feeling around the back of it, hoping he was in fact right. "I remember that there is a button back here that actually unlocks the helmet. If I can just… ah! Found it."

There was a simple click and then the helmet was open. Ventus took it out easily and all of them stared at what Vanitas had been hiding from them. And as a result all three of them broke out into laughter.

Vanitas's face had the same shape that Riku's had, with it being large and disproportionate. And the eyes were a large oval shape with a small mouth and nose. But by far the most noticeable thing was how heavily Vanitas was pointing. He looked like he was fuming mad, but with his big eyes along with the rest of his chubby chibi face, it was too darn cute.

"Ooh Vanitas!" Aqua exclaimed. "He's so adorable!" She held him out to Terra and Ventus all while he stayed grumpy.

Ventus carefully poked Vanitas's cheeks and much to his surprise Vanitas didn't react, he just stayed there frozen in his grumpy expression. He was far too upset about losing his helmet to bother any more from what it seemed. "And hey Sora was right, the chibi cheeks are so soft and pokeable."

"I think I like Vanitas better like this," Terra added before he ruffled Vanitas's hair.

Finally Vanitas started to move around and flail his arms and legs again. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop teasing me like this! I don't want to be a chibi!"

"We're sorry Vani, but until someone finds out a way to reverse it, you are stuck being super cute," Ventus replied.

"Oh I have an idea! You know how Kairi and Sora dressed up Riku in some of her old doll clothes? I have some as well in my closet, one of the outfits is a cute little sailors outfit," Aqua said, started to grin widely.

"Nooo!" Vanitas screamed childishly. "We are not doing that! I refuse!"

"There isn't much else you can do Vani, let's just have some fun with it," Terra said.

The three of them started to head towards the front of the house with Vanitas still struggling in Aqua's arms. EVentually he started to tire himself out again and sighed heavily. It seemed no matter what he did, he was not able to escape his fate. And now he was doomed to be a dress up doll for everyone's entertainment. He could only one that someone soon would figure out a way to reverse this, and fast!


If Riku or Vanitas had chibi plushies like this, I would totally buy those. It would be too darn cute!
