Chibi Quest

Previously

The television shone and a black hole thingy appeared…

"Where are we?" Ichigo rubbed his eyes. "The world of the chibi I guess." Hitsugaya said while dusting his favorite clothes.

"Why do I feel that the place is a lot bigger than me?" Rukia looked up and examined the place.

"My body feels strange too." Hinamori touched her body curiously.

"The place ain't big, it's because we're small." Hitsugaya closed his eyes and turned away from his group.

"We're CHIBI?!" Ichigo shouted very scared.

Chapter 4: Familiar Place

"I can't believe we're in here."

"Yeah I though the game suck us in a parallel dimension where things eat you."

"Oh. Shut up Ichigo! It's your entire fault why we're in this mess!"

"Come now…minna…stop fighting. It won't solve our problem."

Four adorable chibi can be seen at the middle of the dusty street where wooden huts are aligned at the side. The houses were like taken from a movie about Feudal Era of Japan when Edo was still its capital city.

But don't be fooled because these little kids know exactly where the cursed game has brought them.

Rukongai

Specifically, the district just 4km away from the gates of Sereitei and one of the poorest place in there.

"So what are we going to do now?" asked the irritated murky haired girl, Rukia Kuchiki. "I say let's toss this orange haired chibi in the river for his stupidity."

"Hey! That's not nice, Rukia! It's not my fault the game was created by Satan himself!" Stomping his foot angrily, the orange haired protector pouted. Suprisingly the ever so present crease between his eyebrows is gone making him so adorable with his puffy cheeks.

"It's SO your fault, orange strawberry fruit! The sign clearly said 'Beware! Don't play this game!' but here you go! Look at what you've caused! You still played the game to prove that you're stupid!" Rukia shouted angrily glaring daggers at Ichigo.

Hinamori can only watched the two bicker because she was afraid of what they will do if she even dared open her mouth while Hitsugaya stared calmly with a bored expression but deep inside, his worry seems to grow especially when Ichigo spoke again.

"No! No! No! It's not my fault! It's just isn't my fault! It's the game's fault! Not mine!" The little orange haired boy hysterically exclaimed, his tears streaming down his cheeks. "I-I want my mommy!"

"Oi! Oi! Shut up alright! Geez...you're such a crybaby and just admit it you idiot! It was your fault so take it like a man would! Take that! Hahahaha!" The chibi Rukia crossed her arms. She approached the crying chibi and kicked his shin and laughed at his misery.

"Oh boy..." Hitsugaya sighed, feeling uneasy for some reason that is slowly unraveling in front of him.

"Ruki-chan...please stop that. You're being mean with Ichi-kun again." Hinamori Momo walked towards the hurt and crying Ichigo. Shyly, she helped him stand up and uttered sweet nothings to him. "Now. Now. That's a good boy. Don't cry, Ichi-kun."

"I-I want to go home..." whimpered chibi Ichigo.

"Tch." Rukia went to Ichigo's side and patted his head subtlely. "Don't cry anymore orange dope. I was only playing with you." She avoided eye contact but still said her apology sincerely.

Hinamori smiled at the two and turned her attention to her white haired childhood friend who was unusually silent. Don't get her wrong, she knows Hitsugaya Toushiro isn't a talkative shinigami but when there's a grave matter at hand, expect him to give orders to everyone but now...he's unusually silent...

"Ano...Shiro-chan...are you alright?" the brown haired girl asked concerned.

"I'm fine Bed wetter Momo...I'm just contemplating about that (points at Ichigo and Rukia) and you." Piercing icy green eyes bored into doe eyes of the cute 5th division fuku-taichou.

Hinamori was flinging her arms around and her cheeks red, somewhat embarrassed mixed with very odd shyness.

"Is something on my face Shiro-chan?" She muttered timidly.

Suddenly, the small chibi captain realized something.

"Rukia might be temperamental sometimes but she's way meaner than the norm...Ichigo has also changed...I've never picture him as someone who always bawl...a crybaby...and Momo...she's still the same but I have the feeling that her shyness is almost unbearable and she's using the insufferable nicknames again like when we were kids...and..." mumbled the 10th division captain...

"What's wrong Shiro-chan?"

"Yeah...what are you mumbling about, freaky white haired alien?" Rukia is now holding Ichigo's hand who has stop crying and was looking at Hitsugaya curiously.

"We're turning into chibi." the curt reply from the stoic Whitey who was glaring at Rukia for calling him an alien. He doesn't even know what alien means but he felt offended by how the word was used.

"We know that already! What are you?! Blind?!" chibi Rukia yelled furiously at the annoyed white haired tensai.

With gritted teeth, Hitsugaya slowly elaborate what he meant from his curt reply.

"What I meant, Kuchiki is that we're turning into chibi...physically...mentally...and emotionally. If you didn't get that...well damn! Your brain works slow!" After finishing his sentence, the small captain immediately covered his mouth. 'Don't tell me it's happening to me too? No. That was only slip of the tounge. I always say that when I'm furious to my subordinates...but I often used my mind...not say it out loud.'

"Ohhhhhh...what a cheeky bastard. I'm hurt...really." It was obvious sarcasm coming from the moody shinigami, chibi Rukia.

Unknown to the four cute little toddlers, they were making a lot of noises which had disturb the local residents of the area. And also unknown to them, they were being watched by said residents. Most were saying 'KAWAII'. Some just look on and wondered why a bunch of kids are standing at the middle of the road. A wagon or some kind of transportation might pass by and who would want to see splattered children on the floor especially ones' so CUTE! A few just mind their own business and ignored everything.

"Okay runts! From now on, I'll be your Queen and you'll follow everything I say! Got that?" exclaimed the over exhilarated chibi Rukia while doing a nice impression of Kenpachi Zaraki and laughing maniacally. "Hahahaha!" (with the Don Kanonji pose...)

"Only if you say 'Simon says' Queen-chan!" piped the happy Ichigo. After all, he likes playing games with everyone.

"Alright!"

"But who will be the King, Queen-chan" inquired sweet Momo.

"Him! He's a cheeky bastard with white hair. He's qualified to boss around anyone...except me! Hahaha (Don Kanonji pose)"

Hitsugaya sweatdropped at his 'friends' antics and wondered how long will it take for the curse to take effect on him...He just hope he's not like that...Oooppsss...he's probably worse...but that was when he was still a child...right? Oh my...he's a child now! He had just noticed the local residents of the place and sighed. They were causing a lot of noise and that will only lead to something...

"SIMON SAYS FOLLOW ME!!" Rukia ordered her subordinates and marched forward.

"HAI!!" Ichigo and Hinamori chorused together while Hitsugaya remained silent.

Suddenly, they bumped onto a hard wall...but why is it warm...and moving?

"Why are you kids causing commotion here?" asked a cold chilly voice.

They looked up.

"Oh it's you." Hitsugaya muttered defiantly.

In a dark place...a lone figure watched the chibi's progress and smiled evilly.
