Troubles of Chibi Proportion

By Hwoarang Girl

/Summary/ When a spell goes wrong, Dark Magician is transformed into a chibi; but whilst the other duel monsters attempt to find a cure and keep the truth from Yugi and Yami, the knee-high mage is determined on making it far from easy for them…

/Hwoarang Girl's Notes/ The whole duck thing is for Raphaelforte if she reads this; in memory of your odd 'duckie' fetish on msn…oh, and 'ear fondling' is such a funny phrase… muahahahaha! Also, just so you know, Vite, vite = Faster, faster/ quick, quick (French to English).

Chapter 2

Chaos let out a frustrated sigh as Dark Magician Girl laughed insecurely. "Urm…about this… I kind of knocked over a few books when I tripped over Dark's staff…" she smiled sweetly.

The black mage shifted his eyes across the room before him before turning his attention to the young woman. "And how exactly do you define a few…?" he questioned.

Dark Magician Girl stepped 'a few' paces away from the magician and looked down at her feet. "Urm...?" she responded.

Chaos looked over at about a half a bookshelf load of scattered books that covered most of the floor, and few more lying upon the table. "Now I'm sure with your grasp of numbers, it won't be too hard to scan though every page of these few books now, would it?"

Dark Magician Girl gulped, and slowly slid to the floor.

'Look on the bright side… at least you might come across a spell that will be able to turn Chaos into the size of an ant so you can squish him with one of those books and no one will be the wiser…' she mused, beginning to see the up side to the situation.

Small, rounded fingers curled into a little fist, clenching onto her dress as a yawn escaped the young mouth and the large shimmering blue orbs were veiled by fleshy lids; Soul Release gently rocked the chibi as she softly sung a lullaby, watching as the other tiny hand wrapped itself in a stray lock of her rainbow-coloured hair as the little mage fell asleep against her chest.

"Who would believe such a fuss could be made over such a timid little thing," Mystical Elf sighed, sitting down beside Soul Release with a soft smile on her face, "he looks so adorable!"

Soul Release glanced down and watched as Dark sighed in his sleep and shifted unconsciously against her, slowly raising a hand to stroke her long slender fingers through the chibi's indigo locks. "Indeed he does," she said quietly, lifting her head up, "but there is always calm before the storm."

The blonde elf tilted her head to the side as she caught the knowing gleam in the other's eyes, "You have…foreseen something?" she questioned.

The other laughed softly.

"No, just my intuition. Dark is always Dark, no matter if he is a young child or not. He has a… talent for getting caught up in most trouble unintentionally."

Mystical Elf giggled, "I see your point."

A comfortable silence filled the room, excluding the hum of soft breathing, and both women soundlessly watched the sleeping chibi mage warmly.

"It's at times like this you wish you had children…" Mystical Elf sighed.

Soul Release smiled to herself, almost knowingly.

"Though sometimes," Mystical Elf continued, casting her glance at the sleeping elf gracefully curled up on a chair like a cat, green hair falling into his face, "just being friends with these is almost like having your own children."

Both laughed quietly, enjoying the rare peace of the moment.

Black Luster Soldier ran a hand along his long vibrant ponytail, unconsciously twisting the vivid red locks around his finger as he thought. "The only half-decent solution I can think of now," he sighed, dropping his hair and flicking it back over his shoulder, "is finding a way of making a kind of automatic black magic ritual when Dark Magician is called upon, so Magician of Black Chaos is summoned directly in his place."

Summoned Skull folded his arms tightly, "you'd be talking about some serious magic to be able to pull it off," he growled.

Luster smirked, "I know. And seeing as Chaos is rather busy, our next best bet will be Soul Release or the Mystical Elf, " he raised his eyebrows expectantly, "you should get moving as soon as possible. The more time spent dawdling the more likely our masters will figure out what is going on. Chop, chop! Vite, vite! Get your ass out of here! Fly away!"

Summoned Skull widened his eyes, "NO way in hell am I going. Send Gaia, he can ride there."

"I don't think so, I told you to go," Luster said as he grinned mockingly, "besides… I think you could do with the exercise!"

Summoned Skull let out a growl as he shot out a bolt of lightning, scowling as the redheaded soldier jumped out of the way tauntingly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" the redhead teased, barely holding in his laughter as he watched the other spread out his wings before storming off, " and don't forget to hurry!" he added, his laughter escaping as he listened to the various distant profanities aimed at him.

Blue orbs lit up as they skimmed across the page of the old book, and Dark Magician Girl looked up. "Chaos…" she said, "I think I've found it…"

Chaos raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean, think?"

The blonde mage pouted. At least she was actually trying to rectify the situation… "I mean what I said," she answered back, shortly after regretting it as she received a dark glare, "I'm not sure if it sounds right…"

The black mage's eyes widened as the blonde began to say the spell under her breath, attempting to figure out if it was the one she had been searching for.

"No you foolish girl!" he snapped, "never read out--!"

Dark Magician Girl cringed as she squeaked the end of the last word and realisation hit her. "Oopsies…" she said nervously, turning round to see a very angry, pair of eyes staring at her.

"Quack, quack!" the duck screeched at her as it waddled over to her quickly, pecking at her legs.

"Eeeek! Stop it! Ouch…!" she sniffled, as the livid duck flailed its wings at her before hopping onto the book and glaring at her.

She stood at frowned at the creature as she gently rubbed her leg, only to have the angry duck return to her and peck her some more.

"Okay, okay!" she squeaked, watching as the duck turned back to the book and nudged over a couple of pages, before jumping upon it and signalling to a specific passage.

The blonde girl quickly read it out loud, with the addition of a few yelps as she felt Chaos peck on her flesh attempting to hurry her up, and within a couple of seconds, Chaos was returned to his normal form.

"That's it…" he growled, rubbing his temples, "you can make yourself useful by sitting over in that corner, facing the wall and thinking about why you NEVER read a spell out loud when you do not know exactly what it does. Do I make myself clear?"

"It's not my fault someone is stupid enough to make a spell that turns people into ducks..." she commented.

Chaos glared daggers at her.

Dark Magician Girl gave a quick nod and scurried away from Chaos, knowing it was best not to get him anymore wound up than he already was. 'Still,' she thought to herself, 'it was all worth it to see him as a duck…' and she had to bite on her lip to suppress her giggles.

* * * * * *

Dark let out a yawn and loosened his grip on the multi-coloured hair as his eyelids fluttered open, revealing his large, shimmering, blue eyes. After raising his now free hand to his face and rubbing it with a pout, he blinked and focused his attention on Soul Release, whom was smiling down at him. "Morning, sweetie," she said softly as she gently held him under his armpits and placed on down on the floor.

"Thankoo…" he commented, as he gave her a cute smile of gratitude, before lifting up a hand and placing a finger into his mouth and looking around.

His eyes lit up with fascination as he caught sight of an object at the other side of the room, and he slowly toddled his way over. When he reached the chair Celtic was curled upon, he carefully climbed up on it, and smiled before he clambered onto the elf's lap, causing him to shift in his sleep slightly, before reaching out his tiny hand and grasping the hilt of the sword and tugging upon it.

"No!" Mystical Elf cried as she leapt up from her seat next to Soul Release.

Her cry startled the chibi and he let go of the sword, tears beginning to well in his eyes as Celtic snapped awake.

Looking at the chibi, the elfin warrior sighed and reached out a hand, sheathing his weapon before lifting the chibi and sitting upright, placing the little mage back on his lap. "It's okay, Dark," he soothed, giving Dark a comforting hug, "Myst didn't mean to scare you…"

Dark let a couple of tears roll down his cheeks before looking up, and with a sniffle, he declared, "I sowwy…"

"I'm sorry too," the blonde elf said softly, as she sat back down, watching as the chibi dried his eyes on Celtic's top before climbing up onto the elf's shoulders with a little bit of help.

"Wanta play…!" the chibi squealed happily, grabbing hold of Celtic's ears.

"Is that so?" Soul Release questioned, watching as the elfin warrior rose to his feet and gently held Dark's legs securely.

Dark nodded, with a grin on his little innocent face, "Uh-huh! You two play too!"

She swiftly rose to her feet, as did Mystical Elf, in compliance to the mage's demands. "I know a nice little area we can play at," she stated, "Follow me."

As all four left the room, Dark leant forward and giggled.

"Chaos hair sould be owange, no pink," the chibi whispered to Celtic.

"You sure?" the elf whispered back with a smile.

"Yep. Chaos clothes sould be pink." Dark whispered slyly.

"Oh, they should?" Celtic retorted, finding it hard not to burst into laughter at the mental image.

"Uh-huh. We go do it pease?"

"Of course, but not now. Later, yeah?"

"Oki!" the chibi said with a giggle, and Soul Release and Mystical Elf both looked round, exchanging glances.

"I hope you boys aren't planning anything," Mystical Elf said, raising an eyebrow at the giggling chibi.

"Nope," both answered, grinning widely, before bursting into laughter.

The blonde elf rolled her eyes as they all continued walking on.

"Boys will be boys," Soul Release said, "you know trouble is sure to follow when they're together..."

"Without a shadow of a doubt," Mystical Elf added, watching Celtic wink to Dark making the chibi laugh even louder. "This really doesn't help our situation."

Mystical Elf paused, and Soul Release placed a hand on her shoulder, "You just wait my dear, you just wait."

Having felt a tap on his shoulder, the young boy turned round. His violet eyes regarded the teen behind him.

"Yugi Motou?" the ash-brown haired teen questioned.

Yugi nodded.

"I challenge you to a duel!"
