For the first time since she'd changed-which was about four days ago- she was finally alone! She walked down the hall, her little shoes clicking softly against the floor and she held her small hands behind her back as her hair bounced lightly. This place was huge! No wonder she got so sleepy when she walked! She felt like she'd been walking forever when she found the end of the hall which would lead to the stairs and she smiled rushing forward as fast as her little legs could carry her.

She gave a tiny yell of what she thoguht was victory for finding her way to the stairs from her room and just as she was about to walk down the big stairs she noticed, laying out on the couch was Shu. She blinked lightly, her eyes wide and she walked forward towards him, her little light yellow dress dancing against her knees as she walked and she stopped right next to Shu.

He was blonde like her, but he seemed more tired and more serious and-well straight down to it he didn't exactly have the same drawing affect Subaru had but Yui could appreciate that he looked kinda cute. She stared at him with wide eyes as she rested her tiny hands on the couch then, determining he was sleeping deep enough, she climbed up the couched with a tiny little grunt and climbed up Shu's body. She sat on his chest, her little legs dangling lightly off his sides and her hands were placed in the center of his chest as she looked close to his face.

Her little face a mask of curiosity as she stared at the sleeping boy when his chest lifted high enough in a deep breath she squeaked loudly gripping his shirt tight when his blonde lashes open revealing slightly foggy looking dark blue eyes and he looked a bit surprised and she looked back at him with curiosity burning in her eyes.

"Yui what are you doing?" He asked tiredly but raised a brow at her and she suddenly switched from curious a smile.

"Sittin here on you. You sleep a lot." She said as she squirmed a little bit, her pink eyes looking at him still with that burning curiosity.

"Why do you look so curious for?" He asked sitting up a bit making her squeak again as she fell back onto his legs with both a soft thud and a soft little "oof!" which made Shu smile a bit surprisingly.

"I'm curious as to how you sleep so long the way you do." She said with innocent eyes and he smirked a bit wrapping one of his arms around her and pulled her up and scooted over playing her right next to him.

"If you're curious why not take a nap with me. You've been up since four this morning have you not? And it's what? Two in the afternoon? Children your age should be taking naps by now." Shu said as he looked down at the now flushed and pouting Yui.

"I don't need naps! I'm a big girl!" Yui huffed out her eyes narrowing at him and he just let out a soft chuckle.

"Everyone needs naps Yui. Take one with me, while Subaru is away. He's keeping you all to yourself so just join me in a little nap session." He said as he looked at her now softened eyes, feeling a part of him bristle a bit at how she melted like ice cream in the sun when it came to Subaru now.

"Fine." She huffed out once more then shut her eyes, seeming tense and angry but then, as Shu watched with a knowing little grin, she slowly began to relax more and more, her lips parted a bit as her lashes relaxed from how tight she'd had them shut and he knew she was out like a light and he shifted pulling her against his chest and shut his own eyes. Feeling her little heart thrumming softly against his chest was relaxing, but also a bit worrisome by how fast it was beating but he knew it wasn't anything that bad and he slowly, he too, fell asleep.

"Reiji come on this is pointless!" Subaru growled as they walked through the store, the place Subaru was beginning to hate but mostly because Yui wasn't with him all because Kanato, Ayato and Reiji convinced him it'd be best to leave her at home. And that time apart might be good for the both of them but Subaru was experiencing some anxiety from being away from her.

"Calm down, little brother. It's fine!" Ayato said with a wave of his hand and Subaru honestly hated it when they referred to him as "little brother", it just pissed him off more than ever.

"We need to get some toys for Yui, she ought to be bored at more. Right Teddy?" Kanato said almost lovingly to his Teddy as he hugged it tight to his chest but Reiji just sighed out softly.

"You're becoming very annoying Subaru. Just grab what you think Yui will like and let's just go then." Reiji sighed out sounding unlike himself but Subaru pushed past them to the stuffed animals which he didn't find exactly pleasant when his eyes landed on one thing he was sure Yui would love. It was a little medium sized rabbit, not bigger than her but something she could definitely cuddle with and the prefect thing was that it was pink. He walked over to it and picked it up and walked back to his brothers.

"Alright let's go." He snapped out and the three others looked at him with confusion.

"Just one thing? Come now Subaru, Chinchinashi is a five year old now, she'll obviously want more toys than just a stuffed animal." Ayato said as he looked at his brother who just narrowed his eyes lightly.

"Yui doesn't care much for toys. She'll only play with this. Odds are she'd prefer it much better than any other toys." Subaru said rather quickly, as though he was whipping out the words and the three others just sighed.

"Subaru I know you're eager to get back to Yui but thin abut it. We must get some games or something for her." Reiji said as he crossed his arms then pushed his glasses up slightly and Subaru just turned walking to the register.

"Let's go!" He snapped out as he felt an eagerness twisting in his stomach and he quickly paid for the rabbit with his brothers complaining and giving sharp remarks but he burst out of the store and to the car, bouncing his knee with impatience and when his brothers finally climbed in he felt more eager to get home than ever.

Yui woke up gently against Shu's chest, the pale blue of his shirt the first thing she saw when she opened her heavy eyes. She shifted and squirmed out of his arms and stretched her little arms up over her head so much and for slo long her muscles quivered and she held back a little groan of satisfaction from how good it felt when she heard a piano. She rubbed her eyes softly then looked forward and with one parting glance at the sleeping boy she burst forward, running back down the hall, her hair blowing over her shoulders as she ran and she turned the right, hating hot long these hallways were and stopped to catch her breath.

Being small honestly sucked, you couldn't do that much running without getting winded easily but she was also filled with so much energy she wanted to burn it all but when she did she was left breathless. She hated being so small but she was learning to deal with it but it also had it's perks. She shook her head hard enough her ringlets were bouncing like springs and she burst forward again in search of the piano, her little legs moving hard to keep her going when she bolted right past a door where the piano was loudest and skidded to a stop.

She looked at the door with wide eyes and walked to it, pressing her flushed little palm against the cool wood of the door and pulled it open gently peeking her head in and saw familiar red hair and a rather familiar fedora. She slipped through the small opening and walked over to Laito, her little curls bouncing and she stood next to him and watched his fingers fly over the keys with surprising quickness and assuredness that he was hitting the right notes. He then stopped turning his head to look down at Yui's wide eyes, wonder-like look and he smiled.

"Well hello there." He said smiling at her in a lazy pull of his lips again. Yui smiled back looking at his hands on the piano.

"How do you do that?" She asked in wonder as she looked up at him then at the piano as though it were magic.

"I'll show you. Come up here." He said as he turned to the piano and she climbed up with a little difficulty and sat next to Laito who began to press against the keys softly and gently in a tune much more softer and sweeter than the previous melody and Yui watched him play with wide eyes before he stopped abruptly. "You know, I can show you this any time. I'm betting that since Subaru's been gone you've been getting hungry, haven't you, Little Bitch-Chan." He said feeling a bit cheerier and just as Yui was about to deny it her belly gave a large growl and Laito laughed. "Come now I'll feed you."

"Fine." She said and took his large hand with her small one and jumped off the piano seat when she squealed as he picked her up in his arms feeling her eyes widen again.

"It's easier to just carry you, you're so tiny Little Bitch-chan, that I could just slid you over my shoulder and carry you like you were nothing." Laito said then laughed and she scowled a bit but felt her head press into his chest by his other hand and she blinked gently listening to his heart. It was slow but it wasn't the heart she liked to listen to, it just wasn't Subaru. He wasn't Subaru and he wasn't supposed to carry her but she felt a sense of relief of not having to walk. As Laito walked she felt an urge for Subaru to be there hit her so hard she let out a little whimper as Laito moved through the halls quickly and was quickly descending the stair case in a matter of seconds and she felt a bit disoriented as he sat her in a kitchen chair, wondering how they got the kitchen so quickly.

Just as he was pulling back however she reached up and yanked his fedora off his head and put it on her own head and it fell over her eyes. She saw his flash of irritation and slid out of her chair bursting out running as she laughed in her high voice and just as she entered the front hall, Laito behind her he swept her up into his arms as she let loose of a little scream.

She expected him to be angry but hr was grinning widely and fixed the fedora slightly and she laughed again, suddenly relieved just as the door opened revealing a rather panicked Subaru. Yui's eyes brightened like sparkles and immediately squealed and was put down by Laito as she ran to Subaru who swept her up into his arms, similar to how Laito had and she nuzzled her little, eager face against his neck and inhaled his scent, feeling happier than ever.

"Yui why do you have Laito's fedora?" He asked curiously when Laito laughed and moved a hand through his red hair and looked at Subaru.

"She stole it off my head when I was going to get her some food. She's a sneaky little child." Laito said as he walked over and he plucked his hat off her head and placed it on his own as she smiled.

"I bet she is. You didn't do anything else did you?" Subaru asked, his voice suddenly lowering in a way Yui was beginning to recognize and he held her a bit tighter as she looked at him.

"No! She's a child Subaru, what could I have done?" Laito snapped as his green eyes suddenly narrowed, as though annoyed immediately by his brother's question.

"She did sleep with me on the couch for her nap." Shu said as he descended the stairs and Yui didn't bother listening anymore as she continued to nuzzle Subaru in a way that he found adorable and even relaxing.

"I see. Well I'll get Yui something to eat then." Subaru said a bit stiffly and walked past his brothers as Yui nuzzled him continually as he walked which was making it a bit hard for him to focus on regular things. He held the little bag in his hand tight and Yui looked down noticing it and her eyes sparkled.

"Is that for me?" She asked excitedly which made Subaru smile at her as he sat her on the kitchen counter.

"Yes it is. I got it for you, so that way, when I can't be with you, you can hold this and think of me okay?" Subaru said but his cheeks got hot when he realized how stupidly romantic he sounded but Yui smiled bright as she bounced in her spot.

"Okay! Can I have it now?" She asked even more excitedly as she stared at Subaru with her big, eager pink eyes which made him sigh but smile crookedly at the same time.

"Yes you can." He sighed out smiling and reached into the bag pulling out the pink rabbit and Yui gasped with happiness when he gave it to her nad she squeezed it tight, her cheek pressing against the head of the stuffed animal.

"I love it!" She squealed and leaned forward kissing Subaru's cheek happily. "Thank you Subaru!"

"You're welcome Yui." Subaru said as he smiled crookedly giving her a light kiss on the cheek of her own which embarrassed him causing him to blush anew but Yui also blushed too and smiled happily.

"When I'm big again Subaru, will you want to be with me?" She asked as she swung her little feet back and forth while holding the rabbit tightly.

"O-Of course I'll want to be with you." He replied as his cheeks continued to burn and he felt like an idiot but Yui smiled bright again.

"Good because I am gonna want to be with you too." She said happily as she swung her feet continually as she held onto her rabbit sweetly humming softly and Subaru smiled gently as he walked to the fridge to get her something to eat when he felt a suddenly pull of longing that surprised him.

He longed for her to remain this small, shockingly and surprisingly, so he could always keep her close. He also longed for her to be big once again because he wanted to do so much with her that sometimes his mind took a dirty turn and it would cause him to blush but it's what he found himself longing for. As he looked at Yui out of the corner of his eyes, watching her swing her legs humming sweetly he wished he could have both versions of Yui but he knew when it came right down too it, he'd always want both Yui's because they were the same person.

He sighed shaking his head lightly and pulled out a pudding cup which was Kanato's but he'd just make his whiny, sweet loving brother some pudding. He walked back to Yui after grabbing a spoon and he opened the cup for her and she quickly devoured the pudding in way that made him smile softly to himself as she ate the chocolate rather cutely and blissfully when he realized the day and groaned quietly. Sunday. It was freaking Sunday which meant school tomorrow. What the hell was he going to do?
