“I can’t help it, you know? I’m SO nervous…”

“You worry too much, Ibuki! It'll be fine! What's the worst that could happen?”

“Well…" Ibuki began, trying to remember the story. "A long time ago someone jumped a ledge badly and sliced their jugular. The entire field was painted red until they were discov-”

“I-I get it! There's no need to go into all that detail!”

“Hey! That was awfully rude of you, Elena. Please, continue with your story, Ibuki.” A third girl stated.

“Thank you Makoto. Anyway, this guy was screaming for hours and-”

“P-Please stop!”

“I'm just kidding Elena!" Ibuki giggled. "Nothing bad has ever happened!”

The three young schoolgirls made for an odd trio as they walked along a sidewalk together. Ibuki, a Japanese girl with long, tied back hair led the group, and was the first to step off of the sidewalk and into the wooded area just outside of it. Her two friends followed closely behind, and the sounds of the city gradually faded as they walked into the forest. Once the streets were no longer visible, Ibuki stopped, finding the scene in front of her interesting.

“Are we here?”

“Shh.”

Ibuki held out a hand, motioning for her friends to stop as she gradually stepped forward. There, in the middle of a small clearing was an old, dilapidated shrine. Elena and Makoto watched curiously as Ibuki slowly circled the worn-down thing, carefully checking it from every side.

“So...”

“Shh! Quiet, Makoto...” Ibuki whispered loudly, waving her arm in her friend's general direction. After receiving a loud, exasperated sigh in response, Ibuki turned to face her bewildered friends again. Figuring she owed them an explanation, she began. "Well, you guys aren't going to believe this, but-"

“If we're not going to believe it, then why are you telling us?” Makoto asked, folding her arms over her chest.

“Just let me finish!” Ibuki sighed, growing frustrated. “This forest houses dozens of magical shrines, but this one is supposed to be the most potent. It has the power to grant wishes!” She explained, placing extra emphasis on the end of the statement.

A long, uncomfortable silence filled the air. Makoto shook her head in disbelief, so Ibuki turned to Elena for support. The brown-skinned girl seemed to consider her friend’s statement for a long, awkward, silent minute, before shrugging her shoulders. She wanted to believe Ibuki, but found the statements just as silly as Makoto.

“So you don't believe me?” Ibuki asked, hurt by her friend's reactions.

“If it really granted wishes then why isn't everyone in this area rich?” Makoto asked, raising her voice. “Let's test it! I wish-”

NO! SHH! BE QUIET!” Ibuki shouted, silencing her friend in an instant. “It’s because this shrine…” She began, allowing herself a moment to catch her breath, “...has a curse placed on it! It moves from place to place on its own, and you have to word the wishes very carefully, otherwise they could backfire!”

“Like a monkey's paw?” Elena asked, finding herself intrigued by the mysterious object.

“Like a what??” Ibuki asked, arching an eyebrow over the unfamiliar expression.

“A monkey's paw.” Makoto repeated, turning her nose up at Ibuki as she did so. “It's a paw, cut from a monkey. I hear Elena's people use it in soups, and for other sorts of things.” She continued, feeling quite proud of her extensive knowledge as she did. “You boil it into soup, but have to be careful, otherwise you could wind up with tufts of dirty fur in the pot!”

“Oh, then yes! Like a monkey's paw! If you're not careful, your wish will be corrupted, and turn out poorly!” Ibuki laughed while Elena considered whether or not she should correct her friends. “On top of that, a person can only make one wish per day, so it’s easier to stay small, and avoid complicated wishes. If you two don't mind, I think I'll be using this to make my test a little easier…" She whispered slyly, before clapping her hands together and lowering her head.

“Won't that be cheating-”

“Shh! Quiet!” Makoto interrupted, placing a hand over Elena's mouth and allowing Ibuki her moment of silence. “If this thing is showing up here right now, it's probably a sign, so she has to make use of it!” Makoto explained, justifying her friend’s less-than-noble methods.

In the calm serene of the forest, Ibuki began to whisper her wish to the shrine. The test she'd been dreading all day involved stealth, and her ability to remain hidden while under pursuit. She'd be given a one-minute head start, and then be chased by three instructors tasked with finding her. She was forbidden the use of any tools during this, as it was meant to simulate the worst case scenario.

“I wish...” Ibuki whispered, almost silently. “That my instructors will be unable to see me during the test. I will be visible when I meet up with my friends.” She finished, before bowing her head three times and exhaling deeply.

“Was all of that necessary? Or do you just like wasting time?” Makoto asked, scowling.

“I-It probably wasn't.” Ibuki answered, chuckling nervously. “I was just taught to pay these sorts of things respect, you know? Bow before them, and all that...”

“Well your 'respect' is going to make you late now.” Makoto laughed. “But I'm sure your instructors will be understanding and forgive you for tardiness, won’t they?”

In a flash Ibuki's face turned pale, and she took off like a bullet into the forest. Makoto didn't even notice, as she was too busy laughing. She knew what punishments would await the ninja girl if she was late, and was glad to know that her dishonesty brought it on.

--------

“Are you sure she went this way?”

“I don't know! Maybe if you hadn't laughed for five minutes she wouldn't have gotten so far ahead!”

“Oh, so now it's my fault that we're lost? You're from Africa, aren’t you? Just use some... animal… tracking techniques or something!”

With an exasperated sigh, Elena kept walking through the forest while Makoto followed close behind. She didn't want to admit it to the overly blunt girl, but she was indeed making use of some basic tracking techniques to follow Ibuki's path through the forest. She was a bit nervous for her friend, as she had the distinct feeling that Ibuki's instructors would find the girl just as easily as she had.

“Hey!”

Both Elena and Makoto turned around and tensed up, ready for a fight. Empty forest greeted the pair, who slowly began to rotate in place. They'd both heard the voice, but neither could see exactly where it'd come from.

“Up here, guys!”

The pair looked up, and quickly spotted Ibuki standing in a tree above them. She had already changed out of her school uniform and was back into her traditional ninja garb for the test. Offering her friends a quick wave, she dropped from the tree, and landed directly in front of them.

“Ooh, that was pretty sneaky Ibuki! I'm sure you've got this!” Elena offered encouragingly. “So should we just wait here for you? Or somewhere else?”

“Both!” Ibuki said, starting to stretch and prepare her body. “The test will last ten minutes, so if I'm not back in fifteen, then I've probably failed, and, well....” She trailed off, as beads of sweat began to form on her forehead. “…Just wait for me at the usual place, okay?” She added, laughing nervously.

“Sure thing! Fifteen minutes isn't so long, right Makoto?”

“Fifteen minutes?” Makoto asked, lifting her shirt over her head and revealing the gi she always wore beneath her clothes. “That'll be plenty of time for us to spar!” She announced excitedly, giving Elena a predatory gaze.

“Oh, well, I suppose we can pass the time that way!" Elena chuckled, meeting Makoto's gaze. "So don't worry about us Ibuki, we'll be just...” Elena replied before noticing that Ibuki had vanished again. Shrugging her shoulders, she slipped her own shirt off in preparation for a fight.

While the other two prepared for a fight, Ibuki had returned to her elevated position in the trees. She knew the test would begin silently, to further simulate a surprise attack. Coming to a sudden stop she listened, hoping to detect her pursuers. …Nothing but silence. Not a good sign, and she had the distinct feeling that she was already being pursued. Her nervous eyes darted back and forth, unable to shake the oppressive sensation welling up inside of her.

Dropping from a tree branch, Ibuki hugged her body against a tree and listened to the forest again. In the distance she could hear what sounded like her friends fighting already, but no other sounds seemed out of the ordinary. Was she doing an excellent job? Or were they just waiting for her guard to falter before striking?

Suddenly, the entire world around Ibuki shifted violently, and she quickly pulled a kunai from inside her outfit, gripping it tightly. It ended as quickly as it had begun, but things were drastically different now. No longer was she deep in that familiar forest, with its tall, thin trees. Now she stood among grass that towered high above her head. Familiar trees stretching into the heavens far above the grass, and vanished in the distance. With her heart pounding, Ibuki climbed to the top of a stalk, and felt her breathing grow more shallow at the new, wider view she was allowed.

She'd been shrunk. And rather small, too. She knew she should've been more upset about it, but she was still in the middle of a test. Right now there was a handful of her instructors combing the forest for her, and there was no way she’d be able avoid one of those giant, unaware ninjas.

A light breeze began to blow the tiny girl's hair, and she leapt from the blade of grass she stood on just as a pair of colossal bare feet descended from the heavens directly onto the spot where she once stood. An incredible earthquake was preceded by a powerful gust of wind that blew tiny girl away from the giant toes.

Amazingly, at her new, tiny size, Ibuki had hardly felt the impact of her tiny body crashing onto the soft dirt. Thankful that she was uninjured, she stood, and dusted herself off just as the giantess instructor who’d nearly crushed her was on the move again.

Giggling to herself, Ibuki was thankful for the fact that she’d mysteriously shrunk now. There was no way that she’d be spotted at this size! As soon as the sentence formed in her mind, Ibuki realized exactly why she’d shrunk! Her wish! Apparently she hadn’t been specific enough in her wording, and the wish had been interpreted this way as a result.

Sighing in relief, Ibuki lay on her back to catch her breath. At least it looked like her wish was working! Her instructor hadn’t noticed her at all!

Sitting up, Ibuki brushed herself off. The dirt wasn't as comfortable as she'd have liked, so she quickly scaled a nearby blade of grass, and on top of it. Exhaling loudly, Ibuki settled down and closed her. Just a couple of minutes spent lying around and she’d pass with flying colors! Why couldn’t all exams turn out this well?

Another slight breeze wafted by Ibuki, and she opened an eye, watching as the same pair of huge, uncovered feet were heading straight for her now! In a panic she rolled off the wide blade of grass in an attempt to escape, but a huge rush of displaced wind caught the tiny girl, and sent her flying straight for the other foot!

Making a snap judgment, Ibuki grabbed another kunai from inside of her outfit, and attempted to stab it into another blade of grass for leverage. Unfortunately, she misjudged the speed the giantess were moving at, and instead found her small blade burrowing into her instructor's pants!

Before she could unstick the blade, Ibuki was jerked backwards. Desperate to hang on, she gripped the knife tightly with both hands, desperate to avoid falling. She managed to succeed, but only just barely as her body was blown back by the extreme speeds that the giantess above her moved at.

Grass whipped by and stung the tiny girl’s body as she looked for a way to escape the new situation she'd found herself in. The sheer speed that the giantess was moving at meant she couldn’t just let go. The fall alone while moving at this speed would probably end her life in an instant! On the other hand, her instructor was far too big to try and scale! Craning her neck to the side, Ibuki watched as those huge, stomping feet trampled on the tall blades of grass without the slightest pause.

Grimacing to herself, Ibuki reconsidered her options when her entire body shot straight up. Looking around, she watched her agile instructor scale a tree, and resume her patrol through the forest's many branches. Tightening her grip on the kunai, Ibuki began to regret this course of action.

“Bad form!”

Recognizing that voice, Ibuki twisted around on the edge of the knife to turn around, and quickly spotted her sparring friends! Her instructor must be checking out their voices, and was heading right for them, too. All she’d have to do was drop directly onto them while the giantess she held onto moved at hundreds of miles an hour. She should've been more concerned, but adrenaline kept her eerily calm about the impossibility of her feat.

Looking down, Ibuki focused on those nimble feet, waiting for the perfect moment to drop down. With an impressive leap, her instructor soared directly over the area where Makoto and Elena fought. Uttering a quick prayer, Ibuki released her hold on the blade, and began to fall. It wasn’t the most graceful way to descend, but it certainly seemed like a good idea at the time.

Another problem immediately presented itself as Ibuki watched her friend’s feet stamp about the dirt quickly and violently. She should have jumped just outside of the area where her friends were sparring, not in the middle of it! She'd simply dropped from the great frying pan in the sky and into the hot fires of hell!

In a panic, the shrunken ninja girl flailed her arms and legs wildly in midair, hoping to slow her descent. It looked like she was going to land directly between them. There was no way she could survive there for more than a few seconds!

“Watch out Makoto!”

With a quick movement, Elena slid forward, and planted her hands firmly on the soft dirt. Before Makoto could react, Elena swung her legs forward, and began to acrobatically spin her body on her palms before transitioning into a one-armed handstand, and offering the Japanese girl a smile.

In a rage, Makoto stomped forward, and chopped at Elena's arm, knocking the girl onto her front, before she folded her arms over her chest. “Ha!” She bragged, as Elena quickly climbed back to her feet. “Rindoukan Karate wins again!” Makoto proudly shouted while the taller girl brushed herself off.

Immediately after Makoto had knocked Elena to her stomach, Ibuki found herself making contact with the new ground beneath her. A smooth, cocoa brown ground that was Elena's back. Fueled by adrenaline and thanking her good fortune, Ibuki stood, and dusted herself off just as Elena did the same. The endless plains that were Elena’s bare back tilted upward, sending the tiny ninja tumbling down her long, thin frame.

Ibuki tried to avoid her fate, but she was simply too small to do so. As the unaware giantess stood up, she was forced to roll down the steep slope that was Elena’s back. After only a second of this, she disappeared from possible view when she slipped into the dark cavern that was Elena’s well-formed behind.

“Good match, Makoto!” Elena said with a happy jump. “Looks like we both need some more practice, though!”

Elena’s voice echoed in Ibuki’s ears as her entire body turned red out of embarrassment. She was going to grow back when the test was over, right? How could she possibly explain to Elena why she was hiding in her underwear? Even worse, what would Makoto say? This spot may have been safe, but it was far from good.

Though cloaked in darkness, Ibuki was fully aware of where she was. There was a light moistness to the ground that she knew had to be the sweat from Elena's sparring session. The soft, pliable skin surrounding her of course belonged to Elena’s admittedly shapely butt. On more than one occasion Ibuki would find herself wishing her body was a bit more like her friend’s, but that excellent body of hers wasn’t going to make escape easy.

Still, the canyon between Elena's buttocks was a rather relaxing place, if a bit tight and stuffy. The strong smell of sweat was prevalent, and thankfully not much else, given her position. After taking a moment to catch her breath, Ibuki reached into her shirt, and pulled out her cell phone. She didn’t want to call one of her friends for help, but knew that being caught would be much more awkward than asking for help. That, and it’d ensure she got out of here in one piece.

The small light from her phone pierced the darkness, and Ibuki felt another pang of jealousy as she looked over her surroundings. Why did Elena get to have such a nice body and be a skilled fighter? Why couldn't she have both too?

A sudden jiggling of her entire world surprised Ibuki, and the phone slipped from her fingers. Possessing great reflexes, she nimbly plucked it out of mid-air, only to lose it again as her sweat-moistened fingers slipped off the smooth plastic. Ibuki’s jaw dropped as the light from her screen tumbled down the curvy backside, and vanished completely.

Now she was trapped. The smooth, toned flesh yielded beneath the tiny girl as the giantess seemed to break into a jog, but the panties pressed more tightly against her body, and there simply wasn't enough room for Ibuki to move around. Not ready to throw in the towel just yet, Ibuki sucked in her stomach, and began to wriggle from side to side. She planned on making use of what little space Elena's panties had allowed her, and slide down the curved bottom.

Like a worm, Ibuki managed to slowly wriggle down Elena's backside. It took all of her strength to keep the act up, and she had to continuously pause to catch her breath, but she was intent on escaping her soft, cottony prison.

THINK FAST!

Ibuki tensed up, expecting an attack from Makoto before remembering where she was. In the half second it took her to lower her guard, her entire world twisted violently, and the panties stretched open just a bit. Makoto was the type to test her friend's reflexes by launching a sudden attack, and Ibuki quickly realized that Elena was in the process of dodging said attack!

As her giantess of a friend quickly bent backwards, a small gust of wind infiltrated the cloth prison, and Ibuki fell out of Elena’s panties. Again she began to flail her arms in the open air like a madwoman, but this time there wasn't anything to break her fall. Bracing herself for impact, she prayed she'd hit the hard ground below her with only a few broken bones and nothing more.

With a soft thud, Ibuki landed on the ground. She’d tensed her body up, ready for all manner of excruciating pain, so she was surprised to find herself relatively unharmed. Exhaling, Ibuki was relieved that she'd survived the fall, and jumped to her feet. Dusting herself off, she couldn’t help but smile at her good fortune, and for a moment, completely forgot about the giantesses fighting above her.

Resting her arms behind her head, Ibuki took a single step before five huge toes crashed into her like a runaway train. Completely caught off guard, she again found herself panicking as she stuck to the front of the toe that was kicking forward.

Far too small and weak to even be noticed, Ibuki was launched from the runaway big toe and fell into a small bush nearby. The wind was knocked from her lungs on impact, but other than that she still felt fine.

While Ibuki recovered from her unintentional beating, a loud, clear gong rang through the forest. Dozens of ravens cawed, flying off in every direction as the metallic sound reverberated through the trees. Makoto and Elena stopped their second sparring session mid-attack, and looked at each other for a moment. Was the gong supposed to signal the end of the test, or that punishment was about to commence? Neither could remember, and they shrugged their shoulders, dropping their fighting stances at once.

“That was a good match too!” Elena said cheerfully, offering an extended hand to her friend.

“Humph! I would've had you if not for that gong.” Makoto bragged, glaring at Elena's outstretched hand. “But I suppose you tried your best.” She admitted, before accepting the handshake.

Without another word, the pair gathered their things together and, not bothering to change out of their fighting garb, began to walk out of the forest. If Ibuki had failed it would take her a good while to catch up, and if she’d passed, well, she was fast! It wouldn't be too much of an effort for her to catch up to the pair.

As the pair of giantesses strolled away, Ibuki was once again alone. Though she did feel a bit of betrayal over her friends just leaving at once, she did forget to remind them that the gong meant she’d be coming back soon. Then again, if the wish had shrunk her for the test, what was taking her so long to grow back? Was it a further corruption of her wish? Would she need to return to the shrine and make a second wish?

No sooner had the thought crossed the ninja’s mind that she shot back up to her former height! The sudden rise disoriented her, and she landed hard on her butt while still in the middle of the bush. Confusing as the whole experience had been, she knew it meant she'd passed the test handily! Jumping for joy, she went straight for the trees again, and rushed back to receive her grade.

Something definitely felt… off though. Ibuki noted that she felt a bit faster than normal, like and she had to slow down to prevent overshooting the branches she was aiming towards. Surely this was all in her mind, right? She couldn’t help but wonder as a mighty leap propelled her to another branch. As soon as her feet made contact with the wood the branch cracked, and she fell to the forest’s floor.

Years of training along with a sense of gravity she was used to were more than enough for Ibuki to catch herself without any injury, and she flipped back to her feet. Lifting the front of her top up, she ran a hand down her smooth belly, worried that she may have been putting on some extra pounds. While it looked just as smooth, and flat as ever, she swore to stop eating so much, and pulled her shirt back down.

Not wanting to be reminded of her weight problems, Ibuki decided to make the rest of the trip on foot. Endless, identical trees blurred into one another until she finally reached the meeting point where her instructors were waiting. Two ninjas, one male and one female, stood on either side of a gong, and stepped forward to greet Ibuki. Or they were supposed to. Instead, their eyes grew wide as Ibuki approached.

Ibuki's eyes too, grew wide. Something was definitely wrong. They weren't supposed to be this small.

---------------------

“So? Do you think she passed?” Elena asked, paying for a bottle of water and hurrying after Makoto. “She seemed really nervous. Think her teachers could sense that?”

“She cheated with that shrine.” Makoto said dismissively. “If she can't pass after that, then she's got some much bigger issues.” She laughed, taking a bite out of the pork bun she’d bought from the street vendor.

“I guess you’re right,” Elena noted, relieved in Makoto’s confidence. “Say, how do those pork buns taste anyway?”

“It’s called ‘nikuman’ in Japanese, Elena.” Makoto scolded, turning her nose up at the inquisitive girl.

“Oh… right. What do you think’s taking Ibuki so long?” She asked, wanting to change the subject back to their friend.

“You’re right. She probably failed!” Makoto laughed. “Any minute now she’ll run up holding two buckets of water as part of her punishment, it’ll be great!”

At that very moment, Ibuki was running as fast as she her now much longer legs could carry her. She repeated the wish she’d made over and over in her mind, and thought she spotted the problem. She’d need to catch up to Elena and Makoto in order to fix it though!

Unfortunately, this required taking the faster, less scenic route through town and into a busy street. There was no chance of hiding her new, incredible height now! Making matters worse, her school clothing hadn’t grown with her, so people were understandably distraught when a giant ninja girl pushed them aside and stepped over parked vehicles in her run.

Ibuki’s pounding feet preceded her appearance by a good margin. Her two unaware friends felt, then heard her rapid approach. Elena was the first to turn around, concerned with all the screaming. Her mouth nearly hit the floor while Makoto turned around a second later, cracking her knuckles.

“SOMETHING WEIRD HAPPENED!” Ibuki shouted, as she closed the gap between herself and her now waist-high friends. Both Elena and Makoto watched as Ibuki took a moment to pause, and catch her breath. She’d made that same trip almost every day, but she’d never had to run quite that fast before.

“W-What happened to you, Ibuki?” Elena asked, worry evident in her voice.

THAT’S NOT IBUKI! STAND BACK!” Makoto shouted, and jumped straight into the air. Looking her giant friend straight in the eye, she delivered a powerful kick towards Ibuki’s temple. The kick never connected, as a wide-eyed Ibuki ducked at the last moment, and grabbed hold of Makoto’s comparatively tiny legs with both hands.

“No, it is me, Makoto!” Ibuki gasped, while holding her close friend upside-down. “Just… give me a moment to breathe…” She begged, gently setting Makoto back onto the street.

“Y-You sound thirsty. Want some of my water?” Elena asked, offering the comparatively tiny bottle to her panting friend.

“Th-Thanks.” Ibuki said graciously, accepting the water and holding it over her mouth. With a powerful clench of her fist, the entire bottle crumpled and emptied into her cavernous maw. Gulping loudly, she forced the bottle’s sixteen ounces down her parched throat, and instantly felt refreshed. Smiling weakly down at her friends, she tossed the bottle behind her and explained the situation.

“You guys, I’m… I’m growing!” Ibuki said, wiping the sweat from her brow.

“We… noticed.” Elena giggled, while Makoto climbed back to her feet. Crossing her arms over her chest, she eyed the giant girl suspiciously.

“No. You’re not.” Makoto said, seemingly ignoring the facts presented. “At least, not anymore…” She added, holding a hand to the top of her head and comparing it to Ibuki’s height. Sure enough, the steady growth Ibuki had been experiencing had stopped, though she still stood about a dozen feet tall.

“I KNEW it!” Ibuki exclaimed, nearly jumping for joy. “We need to find that shrine again! Th-The wish I made seems to be causing this, and I think I’m going to grow anytime that you two aren’t in my direct line of sight!” She explained, before crouching down and picking up each of her friends under an arm. “So let’s go!”

Before any objections could be made, Ibuki broke into another run, and was causing quite a stir to the few people on the sparsely populated streets she tore through. Though she was careful to avoid injuring any people, Ibuki was a bit careless when it came to anything non-living. Bikes were kicked out of her way, potted plants were crushed under her big feet, and more than a few overhanging signs exploded against the running girl’s big body.

“What if the shrine has moved?” Elena shouted up, enjoying the ride under her friends arm.

Ibuki's face paled. What if it had moved in the past half hour or so? How would she find it again to reverse the wish? Could she find it again? She didn't know, and answered Elena's question by picking up the pace as she entered the forest once again. Remembering the path she'd taken initially, Ibuki dashed through the empty forest until she reached the small clearing with the shrine!

Only it was empty. No longer was the traveling shrine present. The small clearing of trees was quiet, and serene, even as the giant Ibuki stamped one of her feet down, shaking loose a number of leaves. Elena sighed in disappointment, while Makoto let out a rather uncharacteristic, girlish giggle.

“So?” she laughed. “What are we going to do now?”

Turning around, Ibuki moved back to the outskirts of the city. The shrine was known to travel between random locations, and she hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary on her run into the woods. While it could have been deeper inside, it would be far more efficient to search the thinner, uninterrupted alleyways in the city.

A helicopter began flying overhead as the small giantess bounded through the alleys acrobatically. While its insistence on following her worried Ibuki, she knew that finding the shrine was a much more pressing issue. Taking a corner sharply, Ibuki suddenly stopped in her tracks. A very dizzy Makoto and Elena shook their heads, and looked up at a wall of policemen staring down Ibuki.

“FREEZE! RELEASE YOUR HOSTAGES!”

Ibuki's eyes nearly bulged out of her head. Law enforcement was involved now, and ordering her to surrender her friends! She glanced in every direction, and watched as a similar wall of officers was beginning to form behind her. They were swarming her position, leaving her trapped, and she glanced up, seeing only one way out.

“Go find the shrine without me, I believe in you two!” Ibuki whispered before tossing the miniature Makoto and Elena onto a nearby roof. While her friends climbed to their feet, Ibuki waved goodbye, and leapt onto the roof opposite the two of them. A cacophony of shouts followed by a storm of gunfire filled the alley as Ibuki ran away, hoping she’d be able to shake her pursuers.

The metal roofs were hot against Ibuki’s bare soles as she leapt across streets to avoid the officers. After only a few seconds, she was out of her friend’s sight, and could feel herself growing once again. It would only be temporary. They’d be able to find the shrine, and undo this before things got too bad. At least, that’s what she kept telling herself.

Shouts faded into the distance as Makoto and Elena were ignored in favor of chasing the giant monster terrorizing the city. The two friends looked to one another, and shrugged. They'd heard Ibuki's order, and even if they didn't want to, they knew she needed them more than anything right now. Without saying another word, they ran the opposite direction Ibuki had escaped to, and jumped from the low hanging roof back into the next alley over.

And landed right next to the shrine.

REALLY?!” Makoto shouted, kicking at the wooden thing with a bare foot. “How are we supposed to get ahold of Ibuki now?!” She screamed, folding her arms over her chest and scowling.

“I guess we could just make a wish right now, without her?”

“No way! You saw all those strange movements she’d made before making the wish! There’s probably some sort of requirements to get it granted, and we don’t know them!”

“Oh! I know! We can call her!” Elena suggested, her face lighting up.

“Oh! You're right! That's such a good idea, Elena! I'll just shout out and hope that she hears me! IBUKI, WE FOUND THE STUPID THING!” Makoto screamed, annoyed with Elena's idiocy. “Oh? What's that? No response? How strange.

“I meant call her on her phone, silly!” Elena laughed, reaching into Makoto's gi and retrieving her cell phone. “I've got it though!” she said, quickly navigating the menus and calling Ibuki's cell phone.

The pair waited impatiently. Makoto tapped her foot, her face still a little red for her wrong assumptions earlier. Elena, on the other hand, felt weird. As soon as she heard the phone ringing there had been a light sensation coming from her behind, and she shifted uncomfortably in place, hoping it wasn’t what she thought. After a minute, she ended the call, stopping the sensations from her bottom and confirming what she’d been fearing.

“Um...”

Makoto sighed. “What?”

“I felt something... vibrating. Inside of my clothes after I called.” Elena explained, feeling uncomfortable for once. “L-Lemme just...” She continued, reaching around the back of her panties, and feeling around for anything out of the ordinary. Sure enough, after only a second of groping herself she found a tiny piece of plastic near the bottom of her panties.

Pinching it gently between two fingers, she felt it crack, and carried it up to her eye. Though minuscule, and ruined, she could make out what looked like it was once a tiny cell phone. With a loud gulp, she presented her index finger to Makoto, who wrinkled her nose in disgust. She knew what Elena was trying to say though, and grumbled to herself as thoughts of how to fix this ran through her mind. All trains of logic only led her to one conclusion, and she sighed, knowing that it’d be up to her to save the day as usual.

“Don't move, Elena! I'll go find Ibuki and bring her back here!”

“O-Okay! Get back soon!” Elena offered for encouragement as her best friend broke into a run down the alley and turned in the direction they'd both seen Ibuki go. Standing by herself in the empty alleyway, she sighed, and sat down, looking at the shrine that had been the source of all their problems. “I wish Ibuki could see us so we wouldn't have to run after her…” She whispered, crossing her legs.

The ground beneath her began to shift, and Elena covered her mouth, realizing what she'd just said.

-------------------------

Ibuki was retaking her exam. Not literally, of course, but it certainly felt like it. Her body had resumed growing, and noise was picking up as pursuers seemed intent on stopping the “dangerous” giant girl. She could have tried to explain what was going on, but they didn't seem interested in hearing what she had to say.

Her giant, stomping bare feet pounded great gashes in the pavement as she ran. She knew that these footprints meant that she could easily be traced, but that was exactly her intention! The footprints could vanish, and their dependence on them would mean that she’d have a moment to escape on her own while they scrambled to relocate her! Turning another corner she planted both of her feet firmly into the street, and slid down stealthily into a parking garage!

Unfortunately, she completely miscalculated her new size, and only managed to slide half of her body into open-air garage. She quickly found herself stuck, and tried to pull herself free, only to notice that her growing body had wedged itself into the cement entrance. Though incredible strength accompanied her new size, she wasn’t quite powerful enough yet to break the bottom of the sturdy concrete structure apart.

She was stuck, and smiled awkwardly as dozens of miniature policemen approached the ninja half-sticking out of parking garage. They held their weapons up, prompting Ibuki to immediately place her own hands in the air. She had no intention of fighting the police, and would just have to go with the flow for the time being.

“PUT YOUR HANDS UP!”

Looking at her already raised arms and back to the officers, Ibuki wondered what to do. After a tense minute of thinking, she shrugged her shoulders, keeping her arms raised the entire time.

"I SAID DON'T MOVE!" the man at the front of the group shouted.

"You said to put my hands up!" Ibuki argued, quickly losing her patience with the officers. While stalling for time she could feel her temporary prison losing its potency, and knew she'd be able to break out soon. She’d just need to wait for the right moment…

"STEP OUT HERE AND KEEP YOUR ARMS RAISED!" The lead officer shouted, as the entire group backed up to allow the young giantess some space.

A loud sound pulled Ibuki's attention upward as a single helicopter began to survey the scene. It had only been a couple of minutes since she'd left her friends and they’d already mobilized aircraft? Looking back at the expectant officers, she figured that subtlety would no longer do, and she'd need to make an explosive exit.

"Okay! I'm sorry! Don't shoot!" She begged, keeping her arms raised. Satisfied with her surrender, the officers lowered their weapons. Exhaling slowly, Ibuki tensed her legs, and felt the concrete encasing her buckle softly. She'd grown enough to pull this off. She could make it.

Bits of the cement entrance crumbled off on Ibuki's bottom as she extracted herself from the entrance. She did it slowly, not wanting to alert the officers until she was sure she could escape. They watched her closely, and she narrowed her eyes, sensing that the moment was near.

Seeing just how big Ibuki was, the officers all took another step backwards, and Ibuki struck. Like she was playing a giant game of leap frog, she exploded from her hiding spot and launched herself into the air with just her hands. An explosion of cement dust followed her as she soared over their heads, temporarily blinding the officers who thought they’d had the girl less than a second ago.

A small, wet crunch caught Ibuki's attention as she landed with both feet on the street suddenly. Cringing, she ignored the wetness, but was certain that whatever had been unfortunate enough to be caught underfoot would make her less popular with the police. So she ran, tuning out the sticky moisture underfoot.

She'd gotten quite the head start, and traversed through the tall, building-laden streets as easily as she could the forests she trained at. There was still a certain nuisance that refused to be out sped by her still-growing body, and it came in the form of a flying machine with a rotor.

Catching projectiles in mid-air was a regular part of her raining, and a flying shuriken was much faster than a slowly trailing helicopter. With an astonishing amount of dexterity, Ibuki stopped, turned around, and yanked the machine out of the sky with two fingers. She'd been acting entirely on instinct so far, but now that she held a helicopter between two fingers, she really began to notice just how much she'd grown. Vehicles were as tall as her toes, and the people in them were even smaller! She wasn’t sure exactly how tall she was, but knew she had to be well over a hundred feet at this point, judging by the sizes of the buildings around her.

Turning attention back to the tiny helicopter, Ibuki flicked the machine's rotors, shattering them against her fingernail instantly. The thought that she’d defeated something that was once big and deadly with just a fingernail was a pleasant thought, and she spread her fingers apart. There was no way it would fly again, but she was playing with it more for fun now, and pinched its tail between two fingers. Flicking her wrist casually, she ripped the entire tail off with a rending screech.

Smiling to herself, Ibuki gently placed the former helicopter on the ground, and dropped the crumpled lump of metal that used to be its tail right next to it. Stunned crowds watched as the giantess offered them a friendly wave, and resumed her escape.

Sirens and screeching tires could be heard in every direction, but they were whispers in a storm compared to Ibuki’s footsteps. She was making her way to the waterfront, hoping the murky depths would provide sufficient cover to escape her pursuers.

Taller buildings were beginning to crop up on either side of Ibuki, and she found the wider roads quickly shrinking and becoming more cramped. This wasn't going to work. She needed a clearer path, where she'd have to worry less about innocent civilians winding up in her path. As it was, she’d been unable to keep as close an eye on the ground as she'd intended to, and cringed every time a vehicle was crushed into a coin beneath her soles.

Flashing lights at her toes confirmed that law enforcement had finally caught up with her after her pace had been impeded. Seeing only one way out, Ibuki threw subtlety to the wind and leapt into the air, grabbing the sides of a building that was just wider than she was.

To the shock and surprise of everyone present, Ibuki treated the tremendous skyscraper like a ladder, and dug her toes into the individual floors in order to get a foothold. She hoped that the office workers of this city were ready, as there was no way the presence of a giantess was going to make their lives easier today.

For those inside, it had begun as a typical workday. When reports of a giant girl devastating the outskirts of town hit news, all production was stopped, as they were eager to find out what was going to happen. Rhythmic trembles added credibility to the radio reports, though some people still chose to believe it was nothing more than a bad joke played during a minor earthquake.

Nobody could ignore her appearance though, and many on the upper floors screamed in terror as ten giant fingers gripped the corners of the building and penetrated the building’s outer shell. Those nearby fled, narrowly escaping the giant, crushing fingers as retreated from their freshly made holes just as quickly, and reappeared several floors up.

Those on the bottom levels had mostly the same experience, except that Ibuki's feet weren't quite as dexterous as her hands. Five toes crashed through the outer wall, spraying debris and dust all over the workers that occupied that floor. All hell broke loose in an instant, and lasted long after the foot retreated, and plunged itself into another floor much higher up the building.

Even those in the middle floors were treated to quite a sight. As the young giantess scaled the building she hugged it tightly to stay attached, pressing her pert chest into the building as a consequence. It tickled, but didn’t make a big difference to her, as her breasts carved a path straight up the center of the building. While those at her hands and feet panicked, everyone treated to an up-close view of her spectacular chest was mesmerized. A few men found themselves gravitating to her breasts, only to have them disappear a moment later and be replaced by the much more uncaring, and destructive toes a second later.

None of this was known to Ibuki though, who was only glad that she'd been able to climb the huge thing without falling off. With a casual flip, she stood on the skyscraper’s roof, and felt her feet sink down through a handful of the top floors. Feeling dust clinging to her chest, she looked down, and brushed off the countless sheets of paper and general office debris that had slipped between her breasts. As her eyes were focused down, she caught sight of the tiny police officers storm the building she currently stood on. She admired their persistence, if nothing else.

Counting down slowly, Ibuki tensed her legs, and felt her giant toes crash through another, definitely occupied floor. Because she was now coming from above, and not the outside walls, a couple of tiny forms were taken by surprise, and seemed to scramble around her toes, anxious to get away. While the tickling was pleasant, Ibuki tried to remind herself that these were real people, and she didn't want intentionally hurt anyone!

Pleasant tickles faded away as the people directly under her escaped, and Ibuki smiled. Clenching her toes tightly, she launched herself back into the air. Dozens of officers watched far below as the growing girl jumped from the roof of the building they were currently scaling and onto another. With all the force of a bomb, Ibuki’s feet crashed into the roof of the second building she’d jumped to and she waved her arms wildly, trying to stop herself from falling off.

Once again the feeling of tiny people scurrying around her bare toes tickled Ibuki. Something was strange though, and Ibuki detected another figure directly beneath her sole. They’d likely been caught when her feet had burst through the roof, and were now completely helpless under her tremendous weight. Gritting her teeth together, Ibuki gently tried to balance herself on one foot to free her little prisoner. Before the trapped individual could make a single movement, Ibuki’s other foot crushed through several more floors, and she quickly returned to her previous position. With her toes resting on the victim again, she tried to think of a way to save them and keep her pace up.

A lingering thought in the back of Ibuki’s mind begged her to ignore them though. All these tiny people getting in her way were only slowing her down. She’d continue to grow if she kept avoiding them, and she’d eventually be caught. She needed as much distance as possible between herself and law enforcement so she could hide whenever she shrunk back to normal!

Gritting her teeth and whispering an apology to her unseen, squirming victim, Ibuki prepared to leap again. All the weight was placed on her feet for a brief moment, and the unseen victim flattened into the soft sole for a brief instant, before exploding in messily. She tried to ignore it as she again leap-frogged through the sky to another, untouched building.

Once again her feet sank into the higher floors, but Ibuki kept to her own promise. Clenching her toes together again, more than a few people were crushed as the still-growing Ibuki launched herself back into the air, and onto yet another building.

Diminutive people on the ground were having a hell of a time keeping up with the giantess now that she’d taken to the skies. As much as she hated to admit it, now that she'd stopped caring for their safety, she was actually having a bit of fun. These towering structures felt so weak and crunchy under her feet. Even if they were built to withstand earthquakes, and house hundreds of people, she, a single girl, had managed to completely overwhelm them, making use of them as literal stepping stones across the city.

More helicopters were closing in now, and unlike that first chopper, they appeared to be armed. Wasting no time, one of the flying machines launched a flurry of missiles at the ninja, so she picked up the pace. She wasn't sure how much damage those explosives could do to her, but she hoped she wouldn’t find out! Leaping to another building, she watched as the tiny flying machines tried to keep up, but were steadily falling behind.

Then, it hit. Like a solid kick to the ribs Ibuki felt the missiles she’d forgotten about explode against her side. Pain flared up in ribs, and she fell to her knees, nearly tumbling off the skyscraper as she did so. Glancing back at the helicopters closing in on her, Ibuki clutched her side, and stood to her full, impressive height once more. The pain was distracting, but she’d just reached the water’s edge. One final jump, and she just had to stay under long enough to escape. It couldn’t have been that difficult, could it?

A quickly moving object shot past Ibuki's ears, and she turned, quickly dodging a second flurry of missiles aimed for her head. Not thinking any further, she jumped from the roof, and pounded her feet into the pavement far below. An immensely powerful shockwave spread in every direction as dozens of structures were rocked on their very foundations, and several cars were launched into the air.

Breaking into a run, Ibuki quickly reached the water’s edge. With no fanfare she raised her hands over her head and dove right in, narrowly missing another painful impact with a missile.

Holding her breath caused the fresh pain in her ribs to flare up, and she opened her mouth to scream. Dozens of bubbles escaped her throat as she swam forward, desperate to avoid any more painful attacks. She hadn't planned on more aircraft. How was she going to avoid those?

Helicopters continued to circle overhead, and Ibuki could feel the massive supply of air stored in her lungs grow thin. This was it. The end of the line. She was running out of options. She'd just have to take a few more hits, and assume that she could survive them. It was a depressing thought, and she cursed her desire for an easy test that had caused all of this today.

Just as Ibuki began to kick her feet and surface, her entire world was rocked something entered the water behind her. Had they blown up a ship in an attempt to capture her? With a sudden movement, she turned around, and found herself looking at the bottom of a pair of legs. Legs clad in a familiar, white gi. Legs that were clearly much bigger than Ibuki herself.

The ship Ibuki had planned on swimming underneath exploded from a violent impact, scaring the ninja girl half to death. Even underwater, she could see as a giant fist came directly towards her, and punched her with far more force than a being of her size could handle.

---

Makoto was annoyed for many, many reasons. She was still bitter over what she perceived to be a poor performance when sparring with Elena, and it gnawed away at her. She'd just have to improve herself, and get better! It all started with more rigorous training! She would not dishonor the name of Rindoukan-style Karate!

“HEY! STOP!”

Turning around quickly, Makoto spotted an officer running after her. Though she prided herself on her conditioning and stamina, she wasn't exactly the fastest person around. Looking over her shoulder she could clearly see the officer gaining on her. Growling, she clenched a hand into a fist, and turned around. She wasn’t built for speed, she was built for strength after all!

Rearing a leg back, she kicked forward, smashing the sole of her foot into the man's face with a satisfying crunch. He'd definitely gotten a broken nose at least, and she stepped off his face, suddenly noticing something strange. Though Makoto had big feet, they certainly weren't big enough to cover the man's entire face as well as most of his chest!

Quickly stepping off of his rapidly shrinking body, Makoto looked around. No, it wasn’t just him. The entire world was shrinking around her! What was going on now?! Was this Ibuki's fault as well? Groaning in annoyance, she turned, and resumed her run through the city.

Being as single minded as ever, Makoto paid little attention to the quickly shrinking streets around her as her giant, strong feet carved holes into the soft tarmac and crushed tiny vehicles with reckless abandon. They weren't important to the annoyed girl. They were only stepping stones on her path to Ibuki, as she followed the shrinking footprints that her friend had left behind.

The people at street level had come out of their hiding places only a moment earlier to observe the aftermath that the giantess ninja had caused in her run through their streets, leaving them directly in the path of the second giantess. Where Ibuki was careful, and light on her feet, Makoto was distracted, and didn't notice any of the people that inevitably found their way under her.

“GET OUT OF MY WAY!” Makoto shouted, trying to keep pace as she felt countless things be crushed flat under each step she took. Try as she might, it was simply impossible to not destroy the city at this point. The roads were far too thin for someone of her size, and even after turning to walk sideways she found it difficult to leave buildings unscarred.

Then, all of a sudden, the footprints vanished! An involuntary twitch formed on Makoto’s face as her one method of tracking Ibuki was lost forever. Maybe her friend had shrunken back to normal?

Shielding her eyes from the sun, Makoto took a good look over the shrinking skyline for her giant friend. How hard could it possibly be to find another giantess? Harder than she’d like to admit, since nothing but uninterrupted, gray skyscrapers filled her vision.

A sudden, dark thought entered Makoto's mind. She'd noticed the footprints getting smaller as she'd approached the spot where she now stood. Clenching her teeth together, she slid one of her own wide feet back, plowing into the lower floors of a skyscraper as she did so.

The tiny footprint was still there. She was sure the thing was a dozen feet long to the normal sized people, but to her, it was just the size of her big toe. It was positively tiny in comparison, making Makoto question just how far she'd outgrown her friend? What if Ibuki had been right in front of that footprint, and had been trying to signal the far-larger Makoto?

The sky would have darkened around the tiny Ibuki, and she'd realize that she was just too small to be seen. She'd break into a run, hoping her agility could save her from impending doom. Ibuki's own giant feet would pound the streets, pulping people and vehicle alike in a desperate attempt to save herself from the colossal toes coming to tread down on her. In the end it would be futile, as Makoto had just grown too big, and she'd make a jump for it, at the very edge of the foot's shadow.

And she'd have gotten caught! She wasn't fast enough. Her legs would be pinned to the streets by the fleshy roundness of Makoto's big toe. Her friend would never notice her, and the huge toe would roll over the comparatively minuscule girl, crushing her in a single, unnoticed instant.

Shaking her head, Makoto pushed the thoughts out of her mind. She may have been impulsive, but she didn’t want to let her thoughts spiral out of control! Besides, there was no proof that she’d stepped on Ibuki!

Instantly afraid for her friend's well-being, Makoto lifted a foot up, shearing the face off a nearby skyscraper and causing it to collapse as she did so. They weren't important though, Ibuki's life was on the line! Looking over the bottom of her foot, Makoto spotted many tiny, red specks, and various patches of dirt that had gotten stuck to her sole, but no Ibuki. They were all far too small to be her.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Makoto slapped her foot back to the ground, shaking the entire block with the casual impact. As she did, something strange caught her eye, and she crouched to get a better look at a building that only reached waist height.

Scanning her eyes over the structure, Makoto was filled with hope again. This building had been ruined, and was on the verge of collapse, but she was sure that she hadn't touched it. That could only mean...

Standing back up and looking over the roofs of nearby buildings, Makoto instantly spotted the path that Ibuki had taken. Typical! Showing off even when nobody was looking! Well, she'd just have to beat that showmanship out of the girl once they were back to normal, wouldn't she?

Filled with energy, Makoto cracked her knuckles, and stretched her limbs. She knew where she'd need to go now, but the tiny streets would be too slow. She’d need to take a much more... destructive route through. Exhaling slowly, Makoto moved a foot to take her first step, and was distracted by a feather-light tickling from between the toes of her other foot.

Glaring down again, she caught sight of dozens of tiny specks at her bare foot. She couldn't quite tell what they were doing, but they seemed to be gathering around her toes, and were tickling them. She observed for a moment longer, wriggling her toes around carefully, while they seemed to be extremely interested in her feet for whatever reason.

Another dark thought entered Makoto's mind. What if these weren’t a tiny fan club, and instead some sort of disgusting perverts attracted to her feet! They were unable to resist the temptation of a foot as large as hers just standing, unattended in the middle of a busy street! These disgusting things were probably rubbing their tiny, slimy bodies all over her toes, writhing between them like worms. Pleasing themselves was the only thing on their mind, and they were perfectly okay doing so without Makoto's permission! What was with these little people?! Were they like this because they were so tiny?!

“GO AWAY!” Makoto shouted, lifting her foot and stamping it down onto the gathered specks. All at once dozens of people attempting to escape were flattened, and crushed out of existence over a simple misunderstanding. Makoto was furious though, and resumed her trek through the city to find Ibuki.

Minutes earlier dozens of buildings had experienced a ninja giantess scale them, before she’d leapt from their roof to another one. Those inside the affected structures were still in full-panic mode, and could only scream in desperation as the second, much larger giantess approached. People prayed for her to change course, but it was not to be, and structure after structure met Makoto's clothed thighs, which bowled them over effortlessly.

Makoto was beyond caring for the tiny people at this point. She'd had quite enough of this being giant thing for a day, and only wanted to find her friend and end it all. Smaller buildings were pulverized under her feet, while the buildings Ibuki had jumped from were all walked straight through as if they weren't even there. Her powerful legs churned through the weak structures, dirtying her gi with debris. Minuscule aircraft seemed to be flying around her now, but she paid them, and their pathetic weapons no mind. They packed all the force of a light shove to her, and were far from painful.

Naturally, such arrogance led to Makoto's downfall, as one of those very same missiles exploded under one of her feet mid-step. The small explosion threw her off balance ever so slightly, and she took an extra-long step with her left foot to compensate.

It wasn't enough. With an awkward step, Makoto only found her foot coming down onto an elevated track, crushing it into the streets below instantly. She wanted to be angry at the little people for successfully disorienting her, but as she fell forward a small building found itself in the exact perfect position to stab between her legs.

With all the weight and forward momentum her body carried, the waist-high building that pressed between her legs was quickly crushed down. Floor after floor broke rubbed into, then cracked against Makoto's gi, and rubbed her in places she hadn't expected. Her face turned a bright red, and she squeezed her legs together before she hit the ground, finishing off the building and bringing a final spasm to her groin.

Lying there a moment, Makoto gathered herself. She was supposed to be serious, strong, and an example for all in why Rindoukan-Style karate was the strongest. She was not supposed to be some toy for this tiny city and all of its perverts to enjoy!

People directly in front of her giant face continued to flee, and Makoto scowled. Holding herself up on one hand, she scooped up a large section of the crowd that screamed like banshees as they were scooped up, and looked them over. They were positively minuscule, and seemed to be panicking more now that they'd been lifted from the firm ground, and were walking on the soft flesh of a giantess's palm.

Makoto was done. She needed to get back on Ibuki’s trail and find her. But she also wanted a humiliating end for these people that sought to take advantage of her! Her massive eyes scanned over the crowd for a moment, before the idea struck her. With all the casualness in the world, she opened her mouth wide.

A giant tongue lolled about inside of the cavern as Makoto tilted her hand back and poured a handful of humanity into her mouth. She then swallowed, not wanting to make their end any faster by chewing them. They didn't taste like anything. She wasn't doing it for the pleasure, or the flavor, she only wanted them to meet a humiliating end as revenge. Her tiny victims fought against the tongue and powerful throat, but were completely outclassed, even if she hadn’t been continually growing all the while.

"HA!" Makoto announced, standing back to her full height and slapping her stomach. Clenching her fists, she stomped the ground in victory, and resumed following the path of ruined roofs that she knew Ibuki had taken.

A few steps later, and Makoto had reached the water's edge. She could no longer feel the countless people churning in her belly, and hoped they had all died as soon as they’d entered her stomach. Licking her lips she realized for the first time just how hungry she’d gotten over the past several minutes, and made a mental note to try chewing some later, curious if they had a lot of protein.

With no more footprints to follow, Makoto stepped into the ocean. Dozens of tiny helicopters seemed to be circling one of the docked ships, and firing their puny weapons into the water around it. Was that where Ibuki was? There didn't seem to be any movement in the water as far as she could tell!

“MOVE!” Makoto shouted, swatting at everything flying above the water. Two quick chops cleared the skies, and she stomped right into the icy-cold water. The ship they’d been firing at was right in front of her.

Always a girl of action, Makoto could see no other way of checking out the ship. Clenching her fingers as tightly as she could, Makoto punched the ship with all her strength! A massive, fist-shaped dent formed in the side immediately, and was followed up with a dozen more lightning-quick strikes.

“Seichusen Godanzuki!” she screamed, delivering a final punch to the ship's center, and causing the weakened craft to split in two. Like she was catching a fish in a stream, Makoto plunged her hand into the water, and felt around the dark depths for only a moment before she felt something far too large to be anything but Ibuki.

With a wide smile, Makoto ripped her hand out of the water, and found herself clutching a tiny Ibuki, who didn't seem to be moving. The smile melted off of Makoto's face as quickly as it had formed, and she quickly pressed the smaller girl to her ear, and listened.

Soft breathing sounds could be heard, but it seemed like she'd been knocked unconscious! How long had she been forced to hold her breath? How could the tiny people be so insensitive!

Wasting no time, Makoto lay the girl on a palm, and placed a single finger over her nose. Ibuki was still alive, she just needed to be resuscitated! Taking a deep breath, Makoto placed her giant face over the little girl's and pursed her lips.

Ibuki wasn't really unconscious. She'd just needed a moment to rest after her much-larger friend had inadvertently punched her in the back. Cracking an eye open, she felt strong enough to sit up, and could only watch as a pair of giant lips approached her face. She opened her mouth to scream in objection, but was smothered by the soft lips, and felt hurricane-force winds blow past her hair as the bigger giantess seemed to be trying to revive her.

Makoto pulled her face away a moment later, and Ibuki raised her arms to show that she was awake, but the other giantess hadn't noticed. Instead, Makoto placed a huge index finger on Ibuki's stomach, and pressed it a few times, reigniting the pain in her ribs before pursing those lips again and moving them over Ibuki's face.

"I'M AWAKE!" Ibuki managed to scream at the last moment, as Makoto's hot breath washed over her. Luckily, she seemed to hear, and pulled her face back, smiling as her eyes began to water. Despite her hard, brash exterior, Makoto really did care for her friends, and was glad to see that Ibuki was safe. A giant finger rubbed affectionately across the top of Ibuki's head, while she was overwhelmed with relief.

“How long were you down there?” Makoto asked, thankful that Ibuki was safe.

“Only...” Ibuki began, taking a moment to catch her breath. “Only a minute or so.” She smiled weakly, wanting to take a moment to rest. She'd certainly had it far worse than Makoto so far, and was glad that she now had someone to protect her from those horrible missiles.

“Ha! I could hold my breath longer than that with both my arms tied behind my back!” Makoto bragged, while beginning her walk back into the city that was still reeling from her earlier visit. She still had a good idea of where she'd left Elena, and only had to un-wish this whole thing to be done with it forever!

---

Elena winced. Though her eyes were closed, she could feel the walls of the buildings close in around her. A general tightness began to form at her sides as her arms pressed their walls outward, and her bottom lip quivered in fear. How long would it take her friends to get back?

Brick crumbled as Elena’s rapidly growing body made short work of the outer walls of the apartment complexes she sat between. Debris tumbled down her body, and she kept her eyes squeezed shut, trying to ignore the screams of terrified people catching glimpse of her growing seated in the alley.

It was becoming more and more difficult for Elena to keep her eyes shut and ignore everything though. Already her bottom was expanding outward to consume and flatten dozens of apartments. Cringing inwardly, she uncrossed her legs and stretched them out, feeling them leave the alleyway and stretch far out into the streets.

Tires screeched as she stretched her legs, and Elena finally opened her eyes as something tapped against her ankle softly. Leaning forward, she made sure to keep her hands cupped around the tiny shrine, and looked over her rapidly growing legs. A tiny vehicle had crashed against her ankle, and crumpled against her instantly. Frowning, she watched as one of its doors opened, and a young man came stumbling out. She offered him a warm smile, but he was too disoriented to even look in her direction, and instead began to stumble away awkwardly.

Shrugging her shoulders, Elena continued to wait, and looked off into the distance for her friends. Unfortunately, the densely packed skyscrapers in the direction they’d both run made it impossible to see, so she continued to watch her feet, as she didn’t want to inadvertently crush anything since she couldn’t move.

Then, she felt it. Cool, smooth, and solid, it pressed against the soles of her feet, and she turned her head up slightly. Her legs had grown enough to reach past the next street over, and were now pressing against the bottom floor of a college campus. Cracks began to spider all over the building’s façade as her powerful toes pushed against them, and Elena began to panic.

Spreading her legs to spare the university, Elena instantly heard, and felt her bared thighs plow through a hospital on her left, and a church on her right with the pesky apartment complexes out of the way. In a panic, she slid her legs back together, and noticed her feet pressing more firmly against the skyscraper she’d tried to avoid a second earlier. She didn’t have any other choice. She could either ruin this school, or destroy a church and a hospital. She didn’t want that much negative Karma, and knew she’d cause twice as much damage by spreading her legs to avoid the school. That, and she’d be giving everyone in that school a view of her panty-clad groin, and she didn’t want that either.

Another boring day in school had been spiced up as two young girls accompanied by extraordinarily large girl had run through the alleyways just outside of campus. Dozens of officers showed up afterward, and chased the large girl off, while the other two split up. Moments later the pair split up too, with one girl sitting in place, looking like she was waiting. That was, until it was clear that she was beginning to grow.

Knowing how popular faceless buildings were as attack targets, students and faculty alike began to flood to the first floor, in a desperate bid to escape. Unfortunately they were greeted by a pair of towering, dusty feet pressing against the front doors. Try as they might to force the glass things open, they were completely outmatched as the giant foot’s toes wiggled playfully above their heads. Was she taunting them?

Elena giggled at the cool touch of the school’s glass doors against her bare soles. It felt lovely, and she lifted a foot and rubbed it all over the side of the building, wiping some of the debris from her feet off and causing a panic as her soft feet flattened and rubbed against all the glass windows. It was an interesting sensation, and the panic that erupted inside of the building was lost on the giantess.

Unfortunately for everyone inside of the school, Elena’s growth was insatiable. Thin cracks in the glass spread in every direction along the quickly growing soles of Elena’s feet, and she closed her eyes. If she didn’t think about what was about to happen she wouldn’t feel so bad about it. With closed eyes she blinded herself to her feet breaking through the front door of the towering structure, and trapping those already inside.

Sharp, cracking sounds filled the air, and Elena’s feet shot into the building through the glass door. Dozens of tiny hands fought against the sliding wall of flesh as she felt dozens of unique hands and fingers press into her sole. She believed they were tickling her on purpose, when the grim reality was that they had been trapped by those expanding legs. Elena’s toes brushed against the ceiling of the first floor for a moment before breaking through. With all hopes of escape lost, dozens of students and faculty members attempting to escape were crushed by the second floor collapsing onto them.

Elena giggled. To her it just felt as if some bits of wood pieces of paper had gently fallen over her toes and ankle. For everyone inside it was a death sentence and their final moments were spent clinging to Elena’s soles in the hope that it would spare them.

Opening her eyes, Elena tilted her head and gave the huge campus a funny stare. Both of her feet were planted inside of the main building, and her growing ankles and calves were quickly filling the ground floor. The tops of her toes were rapidly approaching the height of the second story’s ceiling, interrupting the lives of everyone on the second floor who’d hoped that whatever was going on outside wouldn’t affect them.

“What’s going on in there?” Elena’s voice boomed, as she addressed the rapidly shrinking structure. It felt like dozens of tiny things had found shelter in between her toes, and were currently massaging her feet. It was a silly thought, but she wasn’t sure how she’d react if greeted with a giantess’s feet. Maybe she’d feel the need to give her a massage too?

People on the second floor could only watch as the giant, unstoppable foot tore a hole through their floor and as in the process, removed their own ceiling as well. In a desperate bid for survival, people jumped into the cushiony, dusty sole, and hugged it as they slid down and into the ruined first floor, not realizing that the only way out was blocked by this growing girl’s shins now.

Elena blushed. She was used to being on her feet all day, and wasn’t used to anyone paying attention to them. While she questioned why they’d be doing such a thing at her feet, she also wasn’t making any attempts to stop it. Let the people do as they wish, as long as they weren’t hurting her!

Elena’s giant, growing feet continued to expand inside of the building, bursting through floor after floor and taking dozens of lives in the process. The unaware giantess smiled all the while, wiggling her toes happily as she continued to grow faster.

Feeling much like she was taking off in an airplane, Elena felt her entire body rumble in her seated position and watched as her point of view grew even higher. Her bare feet exploded out of the building housing them, and once again exposed them to the fresh air. Gritting her teeth together, she hoped that everyone inside had managed to escape.

Elena’s smooth bottom rolled over the shops on either side of her, flattening them completely. After only a second, she could feel her expansive bottom reaching into the next alleyway, and beginning to push down another pair of buildings.

Not wanting to face what was going on, she turned her head down, and looked at the shrine she still had shielded from her growing body. It was positively tiny now, and shrinking extremely fast! Was she going to end up waiting all day for another chance to make a wish? Dozens of structures broke against her exposed legs in an instant, and she hunched over slightly, wishing that this adventure was over already.

“Elena!”

Turning her head up, Elena realized she’d lost track of time. How long had she been looking down? Shielding the shrine once more, she took a good look at her new surroundings, and tensed up. She could see the edges of the city, she was so big now! Her legs stretched out for what seemed like miles in either direction, nestling the entire downtown area between her thighs!

Suddenly feeling very self-conscious about her exposed body, Elena began to swing her legs closed, wiping out a significant portion of the city as she did so. People and their homes alike were caught in the massive tidal wave of brown flesh that rolled over them in an instant. Trying not to think about it, Elena picked up the pace, just as that tiny, ringing voice called out to her again.

“Elena! Stop!”

Opening her eyes again, Elena followed the voice and locked eyes with a tiny, white figure between her knees. Knowing how big she had to be at this point, she felt her heart swell with joy as she knew it could only be Makoto.

"Makoto! I accidentally made a wish and it made us grow and I need you to-"

"YEAH YEAH YEAH!" Makoto shouted up, having long figured everything out.

"D-Do you have Ibuki?" Elena added, suddenly terrified that she'd crushed her friend when trying to close her legs together.

"Yeah, she's right here." Makoto said, lifting a hand up with an even smaller giantess inside. Ibuki looked disoriented from all that she'd gone through today, but was otherwise fine. "So where's the shrine?" Makoto asked, eager to finally end this nightmare of a day.

"It's… um." Elena began, finally removing her hands from where she'd kept them. A small circle of relatively untouched city was underneath, and she knew that the shrine was somewhere still inside. Everyone still trapped in this area was mortified, as the giant, sun-blocking digits finally removed themselves, only to show off how truly impressive the rest of Elena was. Their tallest buildings couldn't compare with her bare thighs, while the expansive, sheer wall of white that was her panties defied everything that compared to it.

"It's up to me to fix it. AGAIN.” Makoto grumbled, walking into this untouched section of city, and immediately ruining it. She carelessly trampled upon the many local shops, and residences before reaching the familiar, and much tinier alleyway.

Sighing, Makoto placed Ibuki onto a parallel street, not noticing as another neighborhood was flattened the smaller giantess’s butt when she plopped to the ground. There was nothing more important than this wish, and she inhaled deeply.

"I WISH IBUKI AND ELENA'S STUPID WISHES HAD NEVER HAPPENED! I ALSO WISH FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO I CAN UPGRADE MY FATHER'S DOJO!"

---

"She's dead."

"She is not dead Makoto!"

"Hey. Ibuki. If you're dead, don't say anything."

"Wh-" Ibuki groaned, opening her eyes slowly. "What happened?"

“Damn.” Makoto laughed.

"Um…" Elena began, trying to find a way to explain the situation best.

"You made a wish and then fell asleep!" Makoto interrupted, standing from her kneeling position and brushing grass from her knees. "And now you're five minutes late to that test. Bet you wish you hadn't cheated now, don't you?"

Ibuki closed her eyes, knowing that Makoto was right. She wished she hadn't tried cheating on her exam at all.

Nothing changed. She was still lying on her back in the forest, and her two friends still stood over her, waiting for her to get up. They both offered a hand to lift their fallen friend up, and Ibuki graciously accepted them both.

Before Ibuki could take her first step she was tackled by an unseen figure that pressed a blade to her throat.

Elena gasped, but Makoto couldn’t stop herself from laughing. Her friend wasn’t in any sort of real danger, she’d just failed the test. Her instructor put the blade away, and stood up, motioning for Makoto and Elena to leave.

The pair did as told, and laughed the situation off as they left the forest.
