Looking in the mirror with pure shock, Yuki couldn't understand what was going on. There, in his reflection, stood a girl rather than a boy. Not only did his body change, but his hair was longer. It didn't make any sense to him. He went to sleep as a boy and woke up the next morning as a girl.
"I don't get it…," Yuki thought, analyzing his new feminine body from head to toe. It finally dawned on Yuki that he had to hurry and get to breakfast before the others started to worry. At the thought of being seen in his condition, Yuki couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. How would the others react? More importantly, how would Luka react?
"Luka…"
As if on cue, a knock came at the door. Yuki jumped in panic, glancing in horror towards the door. On the other side stood Luka, wearing his usual black attire, accompanied by his familiar Sodom. "Yuki, breakfast is ready," Luka said, a bit worried that the boy was late to meet downstairs. There was no answer coming from within the room. This alone worried Luka even more. "Yuki, are you alright?"
To Yuki's dismay, he couldn't answer even if he wanted to. His voice had also changed. If he spoke he would be discovered instantly. But, he couldn't hide forever. Knowing Luka and the Zweilts, they would barge into his room by force if Yuki didn't come out. Sighing in defeat Yuki made his way to the door and hesitantly began to open it.
Silver eyes came to meet Yuki's, disbelief written all over his normally emotionless face. "Yuki…" was all that could come from Luka's mouth. Yuki averted his gaze, looking down while trying to find the right words to say. "I woke up like this…" he began to explain, "and I don't know why…" It was all so confusing to Yuki. He remembers Toko-chan telling him that he was a girl in his previous life, but he never thought he would actually become a girl again while still living as a male. Silently thinking about his dilemma, Yuki had almost forgotten that Luka was still there, staring at him in shock. He looked back up at him and mustered a smile.
"Maybe Takahashiro-sama will know what to do" Yuki said, hoping in his heart that the man would know exactly what was happening. Luka's shocked expression slowly left his face and replaced itself with one of relief. He gently placed his hand on Yuki's cheek, allowing Yuki to feel his warmth.
"Did you regain any memories because of this?" Luka asked wondering if Yuki had remembered they were lovers in their previous lives together. "No, nothing," Yuki responded also wondering why he had gained no more knowledge of who he was before. The fact that Yuki still couldn't recall their relationship caused a small ache in Luka's heart. Though he couldn't show this pain to his beloved. Since they met, Luka had been able to mask his true feelings and continue to protect Yuki. If he could do that, then he could continue to do so now.
Luka took his hand away, the warmth leaving Yuki who secretly wished he could have kept his hand there longer. "Let's go tell the others," was all that Luka could say. Yuki nodded his head in agreement. It was now or never. The Zweilts as well as everyone else will come face to face with a female Yuki. Seeing Yuki's concerned face, Luka let out his hand for Yuki to grab.
"Don't be afraid. I'll be right by your side"
These words created a spark within Yuki that he couldn't understand. A smile now forming on his face, Yuki slowly reached out to grab Luka's, the warmth once again against his skin. With Luka by his side, Yuki was prepared for what awaited him downstairs.
