The Spirit Detectives and I glared at the demon featuring as our latest assignment. Our assignment was to come where the demon was last located and bring her in as well as the item that she stole from…somewhere—I wasn't paying much attention.
At the moment Kuwabara was yelling at Yusuke about trying to fight a girl while Yusuke was trying to punch said female demon and yell back at Kuwabara; in doing so, the she-demon had the upper hand on Yusuke. "Would you just hold still so I can hit you, damn it!"
The girl laughed, "Now why would I want to do that? It's much more fun to see you squirm and make that cute angry face…just like at this moment." She smiled coyly and restated that it was such a cute face that he was making.
I finally had had enough of Yusuke not being able to hit the damned bitch and spoke up, "Hey!" Both fighters stopped and looked at me. I directed my attention to the she-demon, "If you want a better fight, just wait a second and I'll step in." Yusuke shouted at me that he was doing fine and to stay out of it while the she-demon looked thoughtfully at me. "Oh really," I asked, my emerald green eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you count not being able to even land a single blow on the girl because of screaming idiots telling you not to hit said person 'fine'...because I don't." Kuwabara bellowed his complaints, that he wasn't an idiot, and normally I would agree but this was a fight and you couldn't let something like the sex of your opponent stop you from pounding them into the ground. "Urumeshi, just get out so I can take over and Kuwabara will stop complaining," I said on a sigh.
Yusuke complied, with much grumbling and complaining, and I stepped in after asking Kurama any advice on her fighting style.
"She seems to dodge everything to make her opponent tired, then it's possible she'll dive in for the kill. But I'm not sure, seeing as how there wasn't much fighting going on since we first started." Yusuke's quiet "hey!" was heard as I stepped up to the she-demon.
She bowed to me in a formal greeting. "Just so we don't start off on a bad tone to begin with, my name is Midori. Yours?" Her green hair and eyes sort of weren't a hint on her name apparently (mental eye roll).
"Kimiko." My black hair (with ruby bangs that I was quite fond of) blew into my sight from the wind. I retrieved a hair tie from my wrist and put my mid back length hair in a high, messy bun. "You ready?" She nodded and our fight started.
…
About ten to fifteen minutes later, both Midori and I were panting. She was a little burnt from my fire (I'm an elementalist) and I had a few cuts here and there from her shuriken that she had hidden in the sleeves of her purple kimono top.
She started laughing a little. "You put up a good fight, but I have a question for you?" I gave her the okay to ask the question while we both were taking gasps of air to try and regain our proper breathing rates. "How can you stand being with all these boys with no girls around?"
I gave an airy chuckle at her question. "I'll give you that one, but they're not so bad. I tend to like being around guys more because there are no cat fights or minor fights over nothing…let alone the gossip that comes with the majority of girls, though it would be nice to have a girl to talk to every once in a while…"
"I could fix the problem of not having girl friends…in fact I will. Fighting you was fun while it lasted, but I must go; important things to steal and all…"
I scoffed at her. "Nice try. I'm not gonna let you go that easily."
"You have no choice." She jumped in the air and a purple smoke filled the area below her, gagging the boys and me. When the smoke disappeared, I noticed that Midori did as well.
"Well shit…" I muttered, then sighed and closed my eyes. "Oh well, I'm sure we won't be able to find her for a while, so let's just go hom—" I had turned around as I was finishing my sentence but was greeted by four females as opposed to four males that had been standing behind me not two seconds ago. I blinked in confusion. The girls were shorter than the gang of boys that I was normally with (if even shorter by an inch or two). The strange thing was, was that the girls were wearing the boys' clothes and they were staring at me in confusion as well.
The girl that was wearing Yusuke's clothes had straight black hair that was about shoulder length and looked like the girl hadn't taken good care of her hair. The girl wearing Kurama's clothes had the same hair as Kurama, so I was starting to think that these girls were actually the boys. The girl wearing Kuwabara's clothes had orange curly hair that seemed to be the same length as the girl in Yusuke's clothes if her hair were straight. Finally the girl in Hiei's clothes had mid back length black hair with bangs that barely covered her eyes and a gagged line of white hair going around her head near the top. All in all, they looked similar to the boys, but different at the same time. The confusion won, and I finally had to say something. "Um…" I looked at the girl in Yusuke's clothes, "Yusuke, is that you?"
"Of course it's me Kimiko, who else would it—" He (well she now) stopped talking and looked down at himself. His voice was a higher in pitch and was also a little more…what's the word I'm looking for? Sweet? Soothing? Calming? …well one of those words fit.
While I was trying to decide what word best fit his voice, he (she) shrieked. "What the hell is this?" The other boys then started looking at each other instead of me and noticed that they were now girls. They, then, started freaking out. There were a lot of "Heads are gonna roll" from Hiei, a whiny "My hair stayed the same" from Kurama, a high squeaky voiced "Oh my God!" from a crying Kuwabara, and (after he calmed down a bit) a lot of "What's Keiko gonna think" from a blushing Yusuke. That was when I lost it.
I started laughing so hard, I started crying. I fell onto the ground and rolled around hitting the ground with my fist while I was on my stomach and kicking the ground when I was on my back. I finally stopped laughing about ten minutes later, but only because Hiei threatened to chop off my head if I didn't. I stood and wiped off my eyes and tried to control the little giggles that still wanted to escape from my mouth (Hiei's constant glare made me want to control them all the more). I called for Koenma to send a portal and walked through with the girls directly behind me.
When we arrived in Koenma's office, the toddler started speaking without looking at us. "Well, there will be other times to catch Midori, and I will have my best people looking to locate her so you can catch her next time." He kept talking for a little more, and all the while I was trying not to laugh because as soon as we arrived and Koenma didn't look at us, I started to imagine his reaction once he realizes that he is the only male in the room at the moment. Hiei was glaring at me the whole time.
"Onna, if you even laugh in your head about this, I will slit your throat." I almost sighed in relief when I heard Hiei's actual voice in my head instead of his feminine voice. 'Well then Hiei, I won't be getting my throat slit because the only reason I'm snickering right now is because I am imagining Koenma's reaction to your guys' change of sex, but not at the actual change so…no decapitation for me.' I even sent him a mental smiley face.
I knew I was pushing my luck (and his limits), but it was too much fun to not to push his buttons. I heard him growl and knew it was time to stop, lest I actually lose my head. At that exact moment, Koenma looked up from his paper and saw the group of girls standing in front of him. "WHAT HAPPENED?" He nearly fell out of his chair and dropped his binky, but I still sighed out of disappointment; I was expecting something like dropping dead onto the floor out of shock…or something along those lines, but alas, it did not happen.
I decided to save Koenma's head (lest he start laughing when he heard the boys' change in tone, literally) and told him about the smoke. He thought about it for a little while and then sighed. "I have no idea about this one. I'll have the scientists start working on something though. But until then, you boys will be stuck as girls."
"Let's just hope it isn't your time of the month any time soon," I snickered and ran off into the portal that Koenma had just sent to take us home.
…
The next month or two was amusing to say the least. Fortunately for the boys, they didn't have to worry about being on their period (for some bizarre reason). However, the boys had no idea how to be girls…going to the bathroom the first time was a hilarious story to hear about, yet still disgusting all at the same time. Another funny thing that happened was that none of the guys could wear their own clothes because their old clothes were way too big and baggy on them. So I forced Hiei to wear my clothes for a while until I bought him some of his own clothes, as well the others. The funniest part of the whole thing was watching how uncomfortable the boys (well, except for Yusuke) were about going into the women's dressing room, and because they really had no idea on how to put the clothes (such as bras) on, I had to go and help them. I almost died when we were done (from laughing and being weirded out).
...
When Koenma's people finally tracked down Midori, she had gone a long way from where we were originally. Koenma sent us there and we kicked her ass (now that Kuwabara wasn't complaining about wanting to fight a girl) and brought her back to Koenma's office. Koenma had Midori change the boys back to being boys. Koenma sent us home after that.
Yusuke reclined in the chair and sighed, "Damn it's good to be back to being a guy again." All the boys agreed, even Hiei spoke his agreement. Yusuke looked at me. "There was one thing that I still don't understand." I raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't you change into a guy when we were girls?"
"Well, Midori did say that she would change the fact that I had no girl friends, so she might have made sure that the smoke didn't affect me, or maybe the smoke only worked on males." We all shrugged off the question as unimportant and continued with our lives, but that was shortly ruined when we had to catch Midori's accomplice.
"Damn it! Why did he have to hate girls?" The boys started laughing as my male voice screamed that question.
I'll have to links to the pictures of the boys as girls and Midori on my profile...if you want to see what they look like, go there. ^-^
