Luke Had been enjoying his time studying abroad in Japan, right in the heart of Tokyo itself. He had been staying in the house of a nice middle age lady who had a college age daughter who had recently moved out, and being somewhat lonely was happy to accept someone in the house as well as a bit of extra money from rent. Even though he spoke almost no Japanese, as he was still working on it, it seemed that they got along rather well... and her daughter he had to admit he found very pretty.
It had been about 2 months in when news of the outbreak of a global virus sweeping through the population causing mass lockdowns and closure of borders. And more incredible than that the first victims who inexplicably began to shrink in size which caused an even bigger panic, soon a trend became apparent, that the only ones shrinking where those of white European descent, which had him doubly worried. His host showing what he took to be incredible consideration towards him constantly checking on him, asking him how he was feeling in her heavily accented english.
During this all whites where under close observation and travel restriction within the country soon after, many tourists and those without a place to stay ending up in emergency shelters. Eventually though things began to open up again, and travel restrictions lightened, and new laws passed dealing with the now reduced whites to ease on the overcrowded shelters remanding whites found into the care of Japanese, as it was a bureaucratic nightmare trying to send them back to their homes which where largely in turmoil still, which effectively legalized owning the tiny whites. Many more ending up in pet stores for sale.
As the restrictions lifted Luke began making plans to travel back home as soon as possible, however no matter how hard he tried he could not book any flight back to the US, stonewalled at every turn as if the powers that be was trying to keep any as of yet un-affected whites from leaving the country. Feeling frustrated and stir-crazy he decided to head out, catch up on a bit of sight seeing he hadn't got to when things locked down. Taking Public transit to the various tourist spots, though as he travelled he couldn't help but notice alot of staring from the japanese public, which had been common enough before given he was rather tall with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes standing out like a sore thumb as he stood head and shoulders taller than most japanese people and often cramped as he rode on the crowded train cars.
Which was where he found himself that evening as he was riding back to the part of the city where his host house was. Though today it was comparably lightly packed, as often these train cars where packed like sardines especially during rush hours. Looking around the train car when he paused as his heart skipped a beat. On a row of seats across from him a group of highschool girls sat, in their school uniforms but not just to them but the tiny naked figure on the ground at their feet. The girls seemed to be giggling and talking down to a tiny white man with curly brown hair.
"Kireina chīsana hakujin o namete kudasai!"
(lick them clean little white man!)
One girl said pointing at her loafer clad foot, the tiny man looked up at her in confusion which caused the rest to laugh and her to make an intentionally angry face, and pointed again emphatically and in heavily accented english says "lick clean, stupid Hakujin"
And the tiny man hesitates for a moment before getting on all fours and licking the gigantic shoe that was probably as long as he was tall.
That's when one of the others reached down and flicked him in the head sending him sprawling and once again leading to girlish laughter, with one of them on the end pouting.
"Naze son'na koto o shita nodesu ka? Kare wa anata ga tanonda koto o shite kuremashita."
(why'd you do that? he did what you asked.)
this girl he noticed had another figure on her lap, a little red haired woman about a foot tall, dressed in very cutesy dolls clothes that the girl was actively petting.
"Kare wa sore o jūbun ni hayaku shinakatta, korera no hakujin wa watashitachi ni hayaku shitagau koto o manabanakereba narimasen. Amayakashi sugida yo Yoriko"
(he didn't do it fast enough, these white people have to learn to obey us quickly. you spoil yours too much yoriko)
The girl who had ordered the tiny man to lick her shoe in the first place said rolling her eyes before plucking up the tiny man dangling him by his arm, poking his tiny flailing body with her long painted fingernail. before she kicked off her shoe and dropped him on the ground and pinned him under her black socked foot smirking as the tiny figure disapeared with only his arms flailing out from under the foot.
Luke had been watching all of this with wide eyed morbid curiosity at the casual treatment of tiny white people. His attention only broken when he felt something tug at his pantleg, looking down and nearly jumping as a tiny white man probably in his 30's with light brown hair and prominent five o-clock shadow, he couldn't be more than 18 inches tall or so, wearing a collar on his neck and what looked like a makeshift loin-cloth/diaper covering his lower region.
"hurry! please take me with you! before she finds me! I won't go back! she treats me like some kind of pet and personal slave!"
He says desperately, Luke just stands there mouth open in shock not even sure what to do, when the staccato sound of heels approach and the very angry voice of a japanese woman coming from his right.
" Warui kotarō! Kuru! Samonakereba, watashi wa anata o basshimasu."
(bad Kotaro! Come! or else I will punish you.)
A short japanese woman, looking to be in her mid 20's, wearing a sleeveless white blouse, black skirt, and form fitting knee high boots had walked up, ignoring luke and stomping her foot.
the tiny man trembled looking back at her with terror in his eyes and then back up at Luke.
The woman then glanced up at him, annoyed, but then face turning into a smirk.
"ah you meet Kotaro, he like you but shrunk. maybe you will to, and then you will be mine as well?"
She says with heavily accented english, before turning back to him. she reaches down and pinches the man by his neck and pulling him away from Luke and then up into the air dangling him from one hand before fishing into her purse and pulling out a leash ignoring the pained grunts of protest and flailing man, hooking the leash onto the collar and dropping him on the ground and walking away before turning her head back at Luke.
"good luck hakujin"
walking off dragging the tiny man back to her seat where she pinned him under her heeled boot.
Luke let out a sigh, he didn't know what to say to any of that, his knees where trembling as he imagined ending up like that. but he'd been lucky so far. He pulled out his phone and put in his earbuds trying to block out the sounds around him and not think about it when...
