Here's a picture of Gintoki and Hijikata from Gintama.

After some rumor running around about a suspicious house appearing out of nowhere, someone paid Gintoki to sneak in and investigate what was going on. Gin, making sure it was a well paid job, went ahead and accepted it.

Meanwhile, Hijikata has received reports about the same suspicious house. Seeing this was a simple task, and also considering that trying to convince his comrades would be just a waste of time, he decided to go investigate the case by himself.

The house itself didn't look that weird, the place where it appeared was kind of suspicious though. It was in the middle of the woods close to town. Both Gintoki and Hijikata infiltrated in their own way. Hijikata was jumping from roof to roof, with enough stealth to not be noticed by people around the area. Meanwhile Gintoki was more straight forward and knocked down the back door.

The house wasn't too big either, just the usual rooms, bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen. But once Gintoki reached the living room, there were a few suspicious objects that called his attention. There were a bunch of tubes and vials on a table, but all of them were empty, though it could be seen that they were used recently, since the insides of them looked moist. THere were also a few notes, titled as "Strengthening and Weakening Solutions" next to the glasses. In the middle of examining them, he was interrupted by a loud "HEY" behind him, he jumped a bit and unsheath his wooden sword, only to find a grumpy Hijikata. They started interrogating and insulting each other, each suspecting the other...until they reached the conclusion that the other is too dumb to come up with this.

Once they both calmed down, each of them started examining different parts of the room, Gintoki examining the rest, and Hijikata looking more into detail examining the documents. He found out that, as the title said, the person who was working here was developing some kind of potions that enhance people's strenght, and also other potions that weaken people. Hijikata got slightly alarmed reading this, he wasn't sure if this was some kind of illegal drug, or something that could be used by a group of delinquents. His thoughts were interrupted by Gintoki telling him that he found something.

He turned around, and he saw Gintoki trying to reach two bottles that were on top of a tall shelf, one had red liquid, and the other blue liquid. Hijikata told him to be careful with those, but before he could finish saying that, Gintoki grabbed the bottles. The moment he grabbed them, they were boiling hot! So he instinctively threw them in the air, making both bottles spill their contents on top of them, Gin got covered by the blue liquid, and Hijikata by the red liquid. 

Hijikata, while trying to clean his face, was about to shout at Gintoki, but he couldn't do it, since he was in a lot of pain all of a sudden, and got really dizzy. He grabbed his head, and looked around him, everything seemed to get...bigger? Then everything went black...and stayed black...?? He then started to scramble around, being able to notice that all the darkness was...some kind of cloth? With all the struggling, he was able to get out of there, and was able to see his surroundings well. Everything seemed pretty familiar, it was the same room but...MUCH bigger. He couldn't believe his eyes, it couldn't be possible...until he saw himself... He was completely naked! And the cloth from before were his clothes! He shrunk so little that he got trapped in his clothes. He was trying to identify where Gintoki was, to shout at him as loud as he could, but he interrupted himself again, since once he found Gintoki, he seemed to be in a lot of pain too, tightly grabbing his stomach. "Oh, he's about to shrink too..." Hijikata thought to himself, but he was in for a surprise.

All Hijikata could hear was a bunch of grunts coming from Gin, but he could notice that they were getting more loud and....fierce? Then he opened his eyes wide open in surprise, Gintoki wasn't shrinking, he was...growing! With each grunt, he could see Gin surging in size. THe more he grew, the more audible the rips of his clothes became. The moment Gintoki's head bumped into the ceiling, he plopped into the ground, making the whole building shake. The growth spurts became even more noticeable, seeming to grow whenever he took a deep breath. With the constant growing, his chest bursted out of his clothes, then the rest of his clothes started give out, ending up in him just in his underwear. When his growth spurt seemed to finally come to a stop, Gin was taking up most of the room, his huge feet right in front of Hijikata, his height not even reaching Gintoki's heels'. Hijikata was genuinely intimidated by Gin's size, afraid that he would grow even more and ddestroy the whole building, or even damage the town! Then he jumped, noticing Gintoki opened his eyes. He seemed a bit confused with the whole thing, but he seemed to smirk a bit seeing his enhanced body...then he noticed the miniscule Hijikata, and couldn't help but to chuckle and say "That size really fits you~". With that, Hijikata went from afraid, to his usually grumpy self. At least now the potions won't fall in evil hands? haha

Hope you like it!
