This is the first story in a challenge I've bestowed on myself where I have to decide on a prompt for each letter of the alphabet and then write a story/one-shot for each letter, hence the title. Let's see how well this goes, yes? :D

Chapter 1: Turning
"Kanda, watch it!" Allen shouted irately as he stumbled into the man standing behind him who was attempting to shove a box up on a shelf that was high for even the tall Asian man. How did they expect the pair to put everything away when they didn't have ladders? They weren't going to climb on each other's shoulders to get the job done, that was for sure.
"You watch it, beansprout! I'm the one putting something up!" Kanda snarled back, glaring at the box that teetered precariously on the edge of the shelf as if to warn the thing not to spill its contents over him.
"Do you want what happened to us last time to happen again?" Allen challenged, steadying himself against the solid back of his fellow exorcist and more often than not lover, "I distinctly remember you not being very fond of being a beansprout yourself."
"That was your damn fault and it is going to be this time as well if you don't get the fuck off me right now!" Kanda growled, watching as the box tipped, "If this box drops on us, I'm going to strangle you with my pants."
"Oh, we're taking pants off now? I can go for that," Allen shot at the man, his eyebrow shooting up. Kanda shot him a glare over his shoulder. "Tim, push that box on the shelf, will you?" Allen asked, glancing up at the box. Honestly, he didn't want to end up with long hair again or in Kanda and position. The little golden golem darted up, pressing his face against the side of the box and pushing it fully onto the shelf.
Both boys let out a sigh of relief. Kanda let his hands drop, staring around at the still very dirty room. He let out a snarl, his mind returning to how they'd gotten cleaning duty as a punishment in the first place. It had been the beansprout's fault they'd started fighting in the first place. Why should he get in trouble when Allen had been the one to break the first table?
He shot a glare over at the teen to his side that was sliding several boxes side by side onto a bottom shelf. "It's your fault we got stuck cleaning one of the science department's storage rooms," he grumbled snatching up another box and pushing it onto a lower shelf that he could actually reach.
"How is this my fault?!" Allen cried indignantly, shooting to his feet, "You're the one who started throwing insults first!"
"You're the one who threw the first punch," Kanda shot back not looking down at the smaller male.
Allen ground his teeth in annoyance. He wasn't lying. Allen had been the one to throw the first punch, but he'd only done it because Kanda had called him spineless. He wasn't. He would have pulled the man into a heated kiss, but he would have lost body parts, and a punch to the face had seemed much more inviting.
They were so caught up glaring poisonous daggers at each other and setting the room on fire that they didn't notice Lavi opening the door until it was almost completely open. "Hey, guys! How are you doing? Have you gotten anywhere?" he called happily as he flung the door open.
"Do not open that door anymore!" both boys shouted, glaring at the intrusion. They'd been working up a good heat that could have ended with a good tussle under the covers, but thier dipshit friend had to go ruin it.
Lavi's one visible eye widened. He pulled the door back, glancing behind the wood to find a stack of boxes. He let out a sigh of relief, running his hand down his face. "Thanks for saving my ass there guys."
"Your ass? I was saving my ass," Kanda snapped, glaring at their red-headed friend.
Lavi moved into the room, grinning as he closed the door behind him. "So, how's the cleaning going? Have you actually gotten anywhere with it?" he asked innocently.
He received twin glares in return. "Does it look like we've gotten anywhere?" Allen grumbled.
"Hey, you guys, I came to see how you were doing," a feminine voice called as the other door was pushed open. The boxes that had stacked one on top of the other in front of the second door slowly started to tip.
All of the guys stopped dead in their tracks, staring wide-eye at the new arrival.
"What?" Lenalee asked in confusion when she didn't receive a reply, pausing before the door was completely open. It was already too late though.
The boxes tipped forward. Their contents spilled across the floor. Liquids, powders and gases held in various glass bottles and small almost insignificant trinkets flooded towards the three males. They stumbled back pressing themselves against the opposite wall as far back as they could, but it was useless. Several bottles smashed against the stone, releasing their contents over the trio. A large, dense pink cloud exploded throughout the small room.
"Dammit, Lenalee!" a female voice raging closer to the alto range shouted angrily. Banging echoed through the room. "Get off me, baka usagi!"
"Is everyone alright?" Allen called over the irate female, obscured only by the cloud. Coughing echoed from four people as Lenalee stared on in a mixture of mirth and horror. The smoke was already beginning to clear, and she was beginning to piece together the carnage. She could barely hold back her laughter.
"I'm good!" came another, higher voice than the first, "Hey, why does my voice sound so weird? I sound like a chick." The second voice let off a string of laughter.
"Master?" an extra male voice asked timidly.
Lenalee's eyes snapped towards the voice, confusion welling in the pit of her stomach. She was not expecting four voices. "Shit," she whispered as she realized what had happened. The scene had finally become clear even if the others still couldn't see through the light sheen of smoke that still lingered.
"Who the hell was that?" growled the first female voice, "because I sure as hell know that wasn't the damn beansprout."
"It's Allen," Allen shot back.
"Master?" came that second male voice once more, drawing ever closer to the unsuspecting teen.
Allen let out a shout of surprise when a warm body pressed to his back. "What?" he cried. He glanced around to find a tall teen leaning over his shoulder, golden locks dripping into startling golden eyes a shade lighter than his hair.
"Who the fuck is that, and why is he naked?" the first female asked, glaring at the new arrival. She didn't take too kindly to him hanging all over her beansprout. "Wait, does he have wings?" she asked after a moment, perplexed. Sure enough, golden wings sprouted off the teen's back, folded against his back so they didn't knock anything else over.
"Guys! Guys!" the second female cried excitedly, flapping his arms, her strikingly red hair flopping into her eyes. She pushed it out of her face so she could stare at the four others. All four turned the eyes onto the small girl. "I have boobs!" Lavi's clothes hung off of her smaller frame, dropping off one shoulder precariously. Her pants hung low on her hips, already dropping into the danger zone. The other female with long black hair that had escaped its ponytail sat in a puddle of clothes much like her.
Allen suppressed the urge to let off a bout of laughter as he was finally able to make out what had happened to his two companions. The two male exorcists had been turned completely female.
"Do you... have the other part too?" Allen asked, simply out of pure curiosity for how far the science department had been able to take this little experiment.
Lavi frowned rubbing her legs together. "Yeah know, I don't know," she said, pulling her pants and underwear out and looking down the once tight material. "Yep!" she affirmed happily, letting her pants drop back to their original position.
"Well, that fucking sucks for you," Kanda snapped, slowly pushing herself to her feet, "Why are my clothes loose? Did I get turned into a kid again?" He ground his teeth at that thought. He's throw a bitch fit if he'd been shrunk again.
This time Allen did laugh. He leaned back into the unidentified boy, holding his sides. After a moment, he fell sideways, the boy's arms wrapping around him to keep him off the floor. "Allen?" the boy asked, curiosity and laughter lighting his own eyes.
"Get off moyashi," Kanda snarled at the boy then directed her fury at the one being hung on, "What the fuck are you laughing at?"
"Kanda," Allen choked out, looking to the small female, swallowing down more laughter, "You're in the exact same boat."
"I'm what?" Kanda shouted just as her pants slipped down around her ankles. The entire room's occupant's stared on with wide eyes, several faces turning cherry red. Kanda's was not one of them. She glanced down her front, her mouth dropping open. "What the fuck?"
"He's angry! He's angry!" Lavi shouted, giggling as she scrambled towards Lenalee, hiding behind her legs. She peeked out around the other female, watching the rest of the scene unfold from a safe distance.
"I think the correct pronoun now is 'she'," Allen corrected with a smirk, the red flushing his cheeks already fading.
"Allen!" Lenalee snapped. She didn't need any bloodshed on top of the predicament they were in, but Kanda already had a fist full of his collar.
"Want to run that by me again, beansprout?" Kanda snarled, her shirt hanging dangerously low as she attempted to keep her pants around her hips.
"You have a vagina instead of a dick now," Allen taunted, leaning in close so that his warm breath fanned across her face, fluttering her bangs.
Heat flooded across her face, something that hadn't happened often in her male body. It was a curious feeling. She had to resist the urge to both pull him in and devour him, or punch him in the face. Both sounded very inviting, but she wasn't particularly sure how her new body worked, so she'd have to wait till they were alone for at least one of them. She could beat the living daylights out of him later when they weren't still in a storage room full of disasters waiting to happen. "And yet I still have bigger balls than you," she quipped.
"You would know."
"Master," the smooth voice of the teen whined, nuzzling Allen's hair affectionately, trying to gain his attention.
Kanda was jerked from their scuffle, snapping her glare back up to the new nuisance. "Who the fuck are you?"
"Timcanpy," the teen said indignantly, flicking Kanda in her forehead.
Kanda snarled reaching for the teen's throat, but Allen grabbed her wrist. "Tim?" he asked.
Tim nodded enthusiastically.
Lenalee stood at the door doing a poor job of containing her giggles. "So, Kanda and Lavi got turned into girls. Timcanpy is human. And Allen..." This time, she did break out laughing. She fell against the doorframe, already clutching at her side.
"That's not fair," Lavi whined, slapping her hands on the ground at her sides.
Kanda scowled. "How the hell did you only end up with long hair again?"
"I guess I'm just lucky."
"Go fuck yourself."
He replied with a quick, "Nah, that's what I've got you for," waggling his eyebrows at her. She shoved him back, standing and stomping from the room. Lenalee and Allen just laughed.
Whelp, there you go. The first chapter. I hope this was interesting. I'm hoping it'll get really interesting really fast with the few things I have planned.
How was it? Did it suck? Was it okay? Were the characters too OCC?
