"H- How? When?" You stuttered as you stared at yourself in the mirror.
You had been resting in the Butterfly Mansion after a mission, but when you woke up, the room you were in was huge! Everything had grown, but as you jumped down from your bed and made your way to the mirror, you saw that it was you who had shrunk.
"How the Hell did this happen?!" You couldn't believe it if you hadn't seen this happen before to your superior, the Serpent Hashira.
But it was ages since that accident with Demon Blood Art that turned your superior into chibi size, so why was it happening to you now? You weren't even hit back then by the said Blood Art!
"Oh God, if Obanai sees me like this I'm done for!" You knew this was a fact since you had been teasing your superior about the accident ever since it happened and had even told the story to Sound and Wind Hashiras who had gotten good laughs with you.
You could just imagine how they would laugh at you, and while that didn't really bother you, you were more worried about how the Serpent Hashira would react, or better yet, get back at you.
"What's with all this noise?" Came a woman's voice. You turned to see the door to the room open, and Shinobu herself stepped into the room. She blinked as she looked around, not seeing you in your bed where you were supposed to be resting.
She called your name and you jumped up and down, "I'm here, down here!"
"Ara?" The calm woman looked and smiled as she saw you, "Oh my! You've turned small!"
"Help me!" You cried out and the Insect Hashira giggled as she picked you up and held you in her hands, "Now how did this happen?"
"I don't know, I just woke up and was small!" You pouted, "This is a disaster!"
"I must object, this sounds like karma had its way to get back at you." Shinoby giggled and you rolled your eyes, "Yes, ha ha, it's funny, but I can't be seen like this!"
"Yeah! Obanai still hasn't forgiven or forgotten how I treated him when he got turned small!"
"Rightfully so," The woman smiled and you pouted, "Whose side are you on?"
"My apologies." She nodded, "Let's go to my office so I can examine you. This might be just temporary like it was with Iguro."
"I hope so," You nodded and the two of you left the room and as Shinobu walked, you couldn't help but look how huge everything looked from your point of view.
"Damn, the world sure is a big place." You whistled and the Hashira carrying you smiled but as she was about to reply, you heard a hiss, and not just any hiss, but a snake's hiss!
"Oh shit-!" You were saying when you turned and saw Obanai himself walking towards you.
"Kocho, have you seen-" The Serpent Hashira was saying when his eyes fell on you on the female Hashira's hands and everything got silent after that and looked like time had stopped.
You smiled nervously as you lifted your hand and waved at the male, "H- Hi there?"
"You're small." Obanai stated and you chuckled awkwardly, "Ha ha, yeah… Funny how things happen and such?"
"Hm…" He nodded and you saw a little spark of hope. Was he not going to make fun of you? No revenge or anything? Had he forgiven you?
"So…?" You swallowed, "No hard feelings since the last time?"
"None." The man shook his head and you sighed, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted off from you and you could finally breathe again.
That feeling didn't last long. No, you could almost see how sinister and dark the aura around the male turned as he squinted his eyes at you.
"O- Obanai?" You stuttered and you thought it was Kaburamaru who was hissing, but it was actually the Serpent Hashira, "I just have to humiliate you like you did to me and then we can call it even…!"
"Oh shi-!" You didn't stay there like a sitting duck, nope, you jumped down with your Demon Slayer skills and took off running as fast as your tiny legs could carry you.
"Hold it right there!" Came Obanai's voice behind you, followed by steps as he ran after you. You felt like screaming, you were maybe small and agile, but the man was big and had bigger steps than you had.
"W- why are you so mad!? I- I got Mitsuri to take care of you!" You screamed as you turned to another hallway, the male close behind you.
"And while I was under her care, you went to Uzui and Shinazugawa behind my back!?" He snapped and alright, he got you there.
"I'm sorry!" You called, but it didn't help. The man shouted after you, "Sorry won't fix anything!"
"It will make me feel better!"
"You-!" You were about to object when you felt a sudden pressure around your whole body and you realized that you had been caught.
You tried to struggle and wriggle free, but Obanai's hold on you was strong. He lifted you up so he could see you better and you whined as you tried your hardest to appear cute or even innocent enough to avoid being punished.
"M- Mercy?" You chuckled lightly, but he didn't return your laughter, "Mercy? You have seen what I do to those who wrong me…?"
You gulped. They were severely punished…! But you were pals! That had to mean something, right?
Later that day, Shinobu was walking around, trying to find out what had happened between you and the Serpent Hashira, but she wasn't able to locate you two… Until she made it to the entrance of the Mansion where Slayers entered and left.
"Iguro?" The calm woman wondered when he saw the male sitting by the entrance, apparently reading a book of some sort. Hearing the woman, Obanai put his book down and turned to look at her, "Kocho."
"Where is- Oh?" Shinobu was about to ask when something moved on the edge of her vision and she turned to see you… Only you were tied with rope and hung in the air like some sort of ornament or such…
"My, what are you doing there?" The Insect Hashira wondered out loud and you were about to reply but then she noticed a small note there.
"Entry And Exit Fee, A Smack On The Ass?" She read out loud and then looked at her fellow Hashira, "You're making people smack them if they want to enter or leave the Mansion?"
"Don't worry, only on their ass," Obanai replied as he returned his attention back to the book he was reading.
"Mercy…!" You cried out, yet you fully knew that there was none until you had gone through Obanai's punishment. Oh, your poor ass, you would hang there quite a while…!
