Complicated Remedies

Chapter One: I'm Bored!

Elder was busy as usual. The townsfolk walked the streets, filling the cafes, the mall, and other small stores to the brim in the boiling summer sun. To the west, in a thick forest, was the El Mansion, home of the now retired El Search Party. It was a large mansion, three stories high, and enough rooms for twice the number of residents currently inhabiting it. The living room was vacant spare for one individual. A man with long black hair sat on the couch, his black, metal arm was draped across the back of the couch. He turned on the TV, hoping that something interesting was on. He groaned as nothing good was on, and just flipped it to the nature channel to listen to something. He heard someone come down the stairs, and turned to see a young girl with bright purple hair, tied into two tails on each side of her head. He groaned as he saw the fat bat next to her.

"Hey Raven." The girl smiled, and sat down on a chair in the living room.

"Hello Aisha." Raven sighed as the bat, Angkor, flew around the room. It annoyed Raven, "For El's sake, sit down damn it." Angkor laughed.

"Make me." With that, Raven pointed his arm at the bat, and a burning bullet shot out. It hit Angkor dead center, and he hit the wall with a loud thud.

"Made you, now shut up." Aisha smirked as Angkor rolled on the floor in pain.

"You got schooled Angkor." Aisha giggled as Angkor phased back into the Abyss. Aisha smiled, and looked at Raven, "So, any plans?"

"Nothing's happening recently. I'm so bored."

"Me too." Aisha closed her eyes in thought. Everyone else came downstairs. A boy with long red hair sat down next to a girl with silver hair kept together in buns. A green haired elf sat down with a blonde haired boy, whose hair went together into a long ponytail.

"So, what should we do?" Elsword grumbled, bored out of his mind.

"I don't know Elsword." Rena calmly replied. Aisha opened her eyes then.

"I got it!" Everyone stared at her, eager for her idea, "Let's go on a vacation!"

"But where?" Chung wondered, not able to think of anywhere off the top of his head. Rena smiled.

"Let's go to the hot spring resort in the valley north of here." Eve perked up at Rena's recommendation.

"I've heard of that place. I hear the sights are amazing, and there's a special shrine there for worshiping the El masters."

"Sounds like fun." Raven smiled. It would be nice to get out of the house. Everyone stood up, "Let's get packing then."


Raven sat by the truck with Elsword and Chung. The girls were taking forever to pack, so it seemed they were planning on staying awhile. They all decided they would take Rena's truck, so the boys would be sitting in the back. After almost an hour, Rena, Aisha, and Eve walked into the garage. They had so much luggage, they had to pile it all up and tie it down securely. Everyone got in the truck, and Eve opened the door. They drove through the forest path, and into Elder.

"Pretty busy today." Chung assessed as they drove by the mall. Raven nodded.

"Thank god we're leaving." Raven was not one for social gatherings, except with his friends. Elsword didn't want things to get awkward, as Chung hated it when Raven got like this.

"So Raven, any plans for the trip?" Elsword crossed his legs, shifting his weight to get comfortable. Raven looked up to the sky, thinking.

"I just want to relax." Suddenly, Raven sneezed violently, his head lunged forward and his arms flew up above his head. Elsword laughed.

"Nice one bro!" Chung looked concerned however.

"Raven, you alright?"

"Yeah." Raven wiped his face, "Nose was just itchy, that's all."

They had left Elder, and were driving north to the mountains. Raven sighed, and watched the trees fly by the truck as they sped by. Chung and Elsword were discussing what they would do, and Raven was thinking about this subject silently.


"So Rena, what's there to do at this resort?" Aisha wanted to know exactly what she could do.

"Pretty much we just relax. There's a lot of hiking routes, caves, and the shrine." Everyone, but Rena, turned as they heard Raven sneeze.

"Wow, he's sounds pretty bad." Aisha hoped it wouldn't interfere with their vacation. Eve just shrugged.

"It's dusty back there, that's probably it." Eve glanced back out the window. Aisha saw a large tunnel in the mountain in front of them.

"Almost there." Rena smiled. She had wanted to visit this resort for a good long while, and it would be nice to just relax. They drove through dark tunnel, and heard Elsword yell suddenly, followed by a girlish scream from Chung. Raven's low chuckle as soon heard, overridden by Elsword's roaring laughter.

"Not cool! I can't see anything Elsword!" Elsword laughed more, and the girls sighed. They all looked at each other.

"Boys." They all groaned. They finally reached the tunnel exit, and stared in awe at the valley before them. A sea of orange and yellow leaves spanned as far as the eye could see as Rena drove the car down the snake-like path to the bottom of the valley. As they drove through the forested road, which was blanketed with fallen leaves and the occasional fruit, they saw several animals roaming near the road. Eve looked behind her to the back, and saw a bluebird was sitting pleasantly on Raven's Nasod arm. It was perched on his index finger, and he raised his arm and brought the feathered friend closer to his face. It chirped sweetly, then flew off. Eve smiled. Looks like Raven's already cooling off.

They continued the long drive through the giant valley, and arrived at a small mountain inside the valley. The resort was build on the mountain, as it had natural hot springs covering it. They all got their things off the truck while Rena went to check in. When they noticed she was taking awhile, Raven walked inside the main office to see what the problem was.

"Oh, Raven." Rena smiled, although a blush was visible on her face.

"You forgot your wallet didn't you?" Raven sighed.

"Yes..." Rena pouted, and Raven pulled out his own.

"Good thing our accounts are all connected." Raven muttered as he handed his card to the lady at the desk.

"Which cabin would you like? We charge for two thousand ED a night." Raven stared at her.

"That cheap? Hmm...which cabins are available?" She typed on the computer.

"Mostly the cabins on the bottom, but the cabin on the peak is still available. Six rooms, and two private hot springs."

"Price?" She stared at him, sure he wouldn't have enough money. However, she had not swiped his card yet.

"To rent the cabin, it's five hundred thousand." Raven smiled.

"We'll take it." Unsure whether Raven was sane, the lady swiped his card in the computer. After a few seconds, she suddenly lost feeling in her legs for a second and stumbled. Raven laughed as she typed with a shocked expression on her face. She handed him the card.

"How...many...people?"

"Six." The lady handed him six keys, and a sheet of paper. Raven signed it, and handed it back to her.

"Enjoy your stay."


Rena drove the car up the mountain, and they finally reached the top. They all stared at the large cabin nestled between the two rocky spires that were the tips of the mountain. They all quickly got their things, eager to relax, and brought everything inside. Rena turned on the lights, and they all took a look around the room. The living room was about the same size as the one they had at home, and they each had their own room. They all set their things down in their rooms. Raven opened the closet to hang his clothes up, and he heard Rena.

"Cool! We have kimonos!" Raven looked down, and saw several dark blue kimonos folded on the floor. He decided to put it on, as it seemed fairly comfortable. After he put it on, he went out into the living room, and saw everyone else also put on their kimonos.

"It's so cool!" Chung sighed, as the heat from the springs canceled out the cold mountain air, making it the perfect temperature. He glanced out the window, and the setting sun was blocked by the mountains, making the valley dark, but the sky was still shining a bright tinge of orange.

"What should we do now?" Elsword wondered. It was getting late, so hiking was out. Rena stood up.

"Let's test out the springs. No peaking boys!" Rena waved her finger, and Eve and Aisha followed her to one of the two doors in the hall, which led to one of the two springs; the other door led to the second spring. Raven sighed, and got up.

"Well, I'm going to relax." Raven said, and walked through the door to the currently unoccupied spring. He took off his kimono and wrapped one of the towels around his waist as he walked outside into the cool air. He took a deep breath, and sighed, "Talk about R&R." Raven said to himself as he slid into the steaming water. He submerged his Nasod arm entirely, and the hot water flowed through the open waterproof circuits. He turned as Elsword and Chung walked out of the changing room and got into the water.

"Oh man..." Elsword sighed, "That's good." Chung nodded his head in agreement. They all turned as they heard a shriek, and a splash.

"Hahaha!" They heard Rena and Aisha laughing.

"Not cool!" Eve whined loudly.

"You were the one taking forever to get in." Aisha teased, and the girls all giggled.

"Sounds like they're having fun." Elsword chuckled.

"How about we go hiking in the morning? We can take a walk through the forest." Elsword nodded.

"Sounds like fun." They both looked at Raven, who had a stressed expression on his face, "You okay dude?"

"ACHOO!" Raven sneezed, his head flying back and almost smacking against the rock floor. Elsword and Chung both stared at him. Raven held his hand up, and after a few seconds sneezed again.

"Is Raven alright?!" They heard Rena call from the other spring. Chung was growing more concerned as Raven was breathing heavily, and was holding his head and chest. Elsword moved over to him.

"I'm fine..." Elsword ignored him, and pulled him out of the water.

"I'm getting this sicko into bed." Elsword said, and carried Raven into the house. After he placed Raven on the bed, Rena, Aisha, and Chung came in. Rena was gravely concerned.

"How you feeling Raven?" She said softly. Raven groaned.

"Can't see straight, feel like I'm gonna puke." Raven said groggily. Rena turned as Aisha summoned Angkor.

"What do you want?" Angkor complained, apparently having been in the middle of something. Aisha pointed at Raven.

"Fix him up." Aisha ordered.

"What makes you think I can?"

"You're a demon god of the Abyss. I'm pretty sure you can cure something like a bad cold."

"Is that idiot bat here?" Raven groaned, "Tell him to shut up...makes my head scream..." Aisha slapped Angkor as he took a deep breath, aiming to scream loudly.

"Shut up and do it." Aisha ordered again, and when Angkor began to refuse, he cringed at Rena's stare. Her face was calm, almost motherly, and she was smiling sweetly. Angkor sweated, the face of true horror stared into his soul.

"Angkor, please help Raven." Rena said sweetly. Aisha and Chung both moved further away, each somewhat concerned for Angkor's well being.

"O-O-Okay...R-Rena..." Angkor stuttered, then flew into the air, "I advise you all get to sleep. This could take a while, he's pretty sick." Angkor spoke softly, making it seem like he cared about Raven, but he was really just scared of Rena.

"Very well. Just be quiet around him, m'kay?" Rena turned to Raven, "Get better, okay Raven? We'll see you in the morning."

"Night...Rena..." Raven himself was already half asleep, and they all left the room. By the time Angkor was sure everyone else was asleep, Raven was snoring loudly. He grinned malevolently.

"Time to get to work. Don't worry Raven, I'm not going to hurt you. Hee hee hee..."


Rena woke up early, and put on a different kimono from last night. It was pale white, with cherry blossom designs lining the right side. She left her room, and headed to the kitchen. She took a quick look around, and was surprised at how well stocked the large kitchen was. Almost as good as home. Rena smiled. Almost. Rena decided to help Raven feel a bit better by making the groups favorite beef stew. She started to boil water, and continued her work in silence. She turned as she heard someone.

"Morning Rena." Eve groaned, rubbing her eye.

"Morning dear." Rena smiled.

"Stew for breakfast? Kinda awkward isn't it?"

"Well..."

"Stew!" They jumped as they heard Elsword yell, obviously woken by the smell of the cooking beef. They giggled as he tripped running into the living room, and fell flat on his face. He popped straight up, "Food ready?"

"No Elsword, not yet. I just started, so just wait a few minutes." Elsword sat down, and turned on the TV.

"Surprising there's reception up here." Elsword sighed, and laid down on the floor. Aisha and Chung walked into the room and joined him. Aisha glared as Angkor flew merrily into the room, and sat on the table.

"Did you do it?"

"Yes ma'am!" Angkor replied, and began to chuckle to himself. Aisha knew he did something, and slammed her fist against the table.

"What did you do!?" Rena and Eve walked into the living room, confused.

"You'll see soon enough." Angkor giggled again, and then they all jumped.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" They heard an unfamiliar, yet familiar shriek. Rena and Eve ran down the hall to Raven's room. Elsword and Chung were right behind them. As Rena and Eve got into the room, they slammed the door on Elsword's face.

"OW! What the hell!?"

"Stay out!" Rena yelled, and she and Eve walked up to Raven, who was quivering in the corner, his back to them.

"What did Angkor do to you?" Eve breathed, and Raven turned to look at them. He got up, turned to face them, and threw his kimono to the floor.

"What is the meaning of this?!" Raven screamed, and Rena and Eve stared in shock, "Why am I a girl!?"

"What?!" They heard Chung and Elsword exclaim from outside, and then Aisha walked into the room.

"Oh my god...Raven...I'm so sorry!" Aisha began to cry, but Raven sighed.

"It's not your fault Aisha." She grasped the air, and Angkor was in her metal arm, "It's because of this piece of crap!"

"Grk...glk..." Angkor struggled to breath, and Raven hurled him at the wall.

"Change me back, asshole!"

"You don't understand the use of black magic, moron." Angkor laughed, and Aisha stared at the floor.

"When black magic is used like this...the change...is permanent." Aisha muttered. Raven stared at her in shock, then sat down slowly on the bed. Rena sat down next to Raven, and covered her in the sheets.

"So...I'm...a girl...now?" Raven chocked out. Angkor popped into the air, hovering in front of Raven's face. She was so shocked, almost horrified, she didn't even do anything. She just stared at the floor, eyes wide.

"Yep! Oh your face is priceless! Perfect payback!" Rena stood up, and Eve took her place trying to keep Raven calm. Angkor knew he was in trouble now, and attempted to fly out the window. Aisha used her magic to slam the window closed, knocking Angkor into Rena's ready hands.

"Apologize! It's the least you can do!" Rena shrieked. Aisha stepped up to him.

"What are the side effects you perverted fat ass!?"

"I...Raven...will have...to have...constant..." Angkor closed his eyes, and prayed for the best, "sex."

"What?!"

"If he, well, she doesn't...she'll get increasingly sick, and could die. She'll have random phases of intense sexual urges, and she'll act on them. Even I don't know when, they could happen right now for all I know." Aisha grabbed Angkor from Rena's hands.

"Go back to the Abyss, and never come out unless I need you for a fight." Aisha spit at him, and he swiftly disappeared. Raven was crying now.

"I don't know...what to do. I don't know what's...going on..." Raven sobbed, and Rena held her tightly.

"Shh...don't worry. We'll help you." Eve and Aisha nodded as they also took Raven in their arms.

"We'll teach you to be a girl Raven." Aisha promised.

"Why am I...so sad, and so happy?" Raven asked.

"A woman's emotions are different then a man's. Expect to get much more emotional." Eve explained, and Raven looked at her friends.

"I'm...kind of...scared." She admitted. They all held her tighter.

"Don't worry; we'll help you get through this."

"We'll try to help too!" They heard Elsword speak up, and he and Chung heard everything. Raven smiled.

"Thank you..." Aisha sighed.

"Either way, Angkor has ruined this vacation. We have to go home to find new clothes for Raven."

"What do you mean?" Raven asked. She didn't see why she couldn't use her old ones.

"Have you seen yourself?! Just look at yourself." Aisha pulled Raven in front of a full body mirror, and she stared at her body in disbelief. Her waist was much slimmer. Her thighs were more defined. Her hair trailed down to her ankles, and she couldn't take her eyes off her chest. Rena looked Raven up and down.

"Actually Aisha, she's the same size as me. She can borrow some of my clothes."Raven looked at her.

"Are you sure?" Raven asked, and couldn't stop herself as she looked down at her bulging chest. Rena was right. Raven's new breasts were roughly the same size as Rena's. She began to feel warm, and bounced up and down slightly, watching her breasts move with the motion. Rena suppressed a giggle as Raven continued to stare at her breasts.

"It's interesting to have a pair isn't it?" Rena teased.

"Y-Yeah." Raven sighed. I wonder. Slowly, Raven placed her hands on her breasts, surprising the girls in the room with her. So soft...and sensitive. Raven felt funny as she squished her large breasts together, her cold, metal claw felt amazing on her soft flesh, "Ah..." Raven moaned slightly, feeling hot. Rena grabbed her hands.

"Maybe...you should stop." Raven blushed. She was barely thinking about what she was doing.

"S-Sorry...dunno what I was doing." Rena walked to the door, and eased it open.

"You two, other end of the hall, face the wall. Now." Elsword and Chung walked off, doing their best to keep things simple, "Come on Raven, let's get you some clothes. We aren't letting this stop us from going hiking today." Raven hesitated, not wanting to walk down the hall naked while Elsword and Chung were there.

"Why does that bother me?" Raven muttered. Maybe being a girl made her feel more protective about her body? Eve and Aisha began to push her into the hall, and Rena quickly dragged Raven into her room. They heard the others going back to the living room, and Rena opened her closet.

"Hmm...what should I make you wear?" Rena murmured to herself, and Raven hoped it would be something simple. Rena saw her expression, and frowned, "Sorry Raven, but you'll be wearing things like this a lot now, so you better get used to it now."

"What?" Raven jumped as Rena threw some cloths at her. She cringed upon closer inspection. A spaghetti strap, black tank top, which would only cover her chest, leaving her waist completely visible. With it was a slightly lighter black mini skirt. Raven gulped, "Rena...I can't...wear this." Rena put her hand on Raven's shoulder.

"You can, I know you can. You've stood alone against over a hundred demons in the final invasion, but women's clothes still intimidate you?" Rena laughed.

"F-Fine!" Raven submitted, and began to put on the shirt when Rena stopped her.

"Wait Raven, you need your underwear too."

In the living room, Elsword and Chung sat nervously at the table. They hoped things would turn out well, and were nervous about this whole side effect matter.

"Angkor." Aisha muttered, and the timid bat emerged from the Abyss, "Tell us the whole truth."

"Ok...when she has an urge...it's for a specific person amongst you guys." Angkor said, "That's all."

"Get out." The bat disappeared, and now Chung and Elsword were horrified.

"Raven might want to have...sex with us?!" Chung felt weak, and Eve rubbed his shoulder.

"We all have to do our best to help. If we don't...Raven could die." Elsword and Chung slowly nodded, and heard a door down the hall open. They all turned, and Chung almost fainted when Raven stepped into the room.

"Um...uh..." Elsword stuttered, not expecting what he saw. Raven blushed, and sat down far away from the boys.

"Guys, I'm sorry." Rena apologized, and everyone looked at her confused, "Raven doesn't want to stay here anymore. It's too much for her, and the mood for the vacation's ruined." Elsword spoke up.

"Why not just start over? Why don't we go to Hamel?" The girls all looked at Raven.

"That would actually work. Hamel would be the perfect place to educate you on your new found gender." Eve said, and Rena and Aisha nodded. Chung smiled at this.

"I kind of would like to see my mother again." Chung said, and stared at Raven, "Please?" Raven sighed.

"Okay...we'll go." Everyone then got up, and began to pack up. They felt bad they had to leave when their vacation had just started, but things happen. They loaded up the truck, and Raven hopped into the back. Rena was concerned.

"Are you sure you want to be in the back with the boys?" Rena didn't want her to get urges and leach onto Chung or Elsword, or both.

"They're embarrassed to be around me, so a day together in the back of the truck would be good for them to get used to my new body." Rena smiled. Raven's adjusting pretty quickly. Maybe...this won't be a bad thing after all. Elsword and Chung hesitated when they saw Raven in the back, but instantly got in when she pouted at them. Already using her body to her advantage. You're a natural Raven! Rena, Eve, and Aisha got into the front, and returned the keys to the front desk before leaving. They headed east from Elder, and began the long, long drive to Hamel.
