Chapter 2: The other one

Disclaimer: I do not own GetBackers for God's sake. XD

Ban couldn't take his eyes off Kazuki. Is this really Kazuki? We were just talking about him and then he barges in, cool and all, with this…look?! Is apocalypse nearing or something?!

"What made you..change this way, Kazuki?" Pore asked. He was awakened by the shouting a while ago, and gladly, he caught up immediately with the happenings. The others were too busy scrutinizing Kazuki; they can't even raise a simple question like this. The only word that came out from their big mouths is "WOW!"

Ginji in his super-deformed style fidgeted around Kazuki. He, too, could not believe that the ever feminine-like Kazuki had changed into something...big-time. Meanwhile, Natsumi was on Kazuki's back, spanking the thread master's shoulders; she was pretty amazed they were broader and more firm.

"Wow…" Natsumi said out of the blue. Kazuki smiled.

"Let's say, the circumstances told me to do so." The thread master spoke casually.

"Oy, be a little clearer." The evil eye master had already moved on from Kazuki's 'out' scene.

Kazuki chuckled. Ban was not sure if that chuckle was because he kind of bullied him, or if he was tickled by Hevn. She surely pressed Kazuki's muscles with amazement, almost like…sekuhara.*

"The incident two months ago." He casually replied.

Ban nodded in agreement. "That's understandable."

Kazuki smiled. "Not yet. The incident two months ago…has nothing to do with this." He said while looking at himself.

Ban raised an eyebrow at Kazuki.

But really. Just what exactly transpired two months ago?

The Fuchoin style master went to Ren's school to meet the redhead then. He surprised her every time he visited. Ren always thought Kazuki's last visit would be the last ever since Ren's 'confession' thing. But to her surprise, Kazuki actually visited more often.

"Ren…" Kazuki was on the other side of the road when he saw Ren come out of the gates. She did not notice Kazuki. On the other hand he was mindful of it. So he put out his little bells just so she could notice him. Everytime Kazuki did that, Ren looked at his direction, and their eyes meet. Not that she could hear the bells from a long distance, but she could somehow see the shiny, golden thing on the corner of her eye. Ren recognized it was him and waved a hand.

Just when Kazuki was about to cross to where Ren was, a car stopped in front of him.

"Hop in." said the driver.

Kazuki frowned. "What?"

"I said hop in. You're wishing for a good night tonight, aren't you?"

Kazuki's eyes widened. What the fuck. This old geezer. Did he seriously believe I want some 'hitch' with the use of my bells? Kazuki thought.

"You were wishing with those bells, right? I can give you what you want. If money is all it takes."

Kazuki gritted his teeth. "I'm not a hooker. More than that, I'm a guy."

He looked at him from head to toe. Not even surprised. "Is that so? But I won't mind screwing you if you…look like that."

Kazuki was about to aim his thread at the man when a hand gripped his arm. He switched his head to see who bravely did that.

"Natsumi."

Without a single clue, Natsumi punched the driver on his face with all her might and willpower. Then she dragged Kazuki and they ran to wherever their feet would lead them, Natsumi still shaking her hand. That was hard.

Meanwhile, Ren was left there at school, not having a single clue of Kazuki and Natsumi's escapade.

"I just thought I can't live on normally, looking like that." Kazuki smiled.

"What a pretty late realization. You've endured it for more than… half of your life, and yet…what a change!" Ban exclaimed, looking at Kazuki from head to toe. "It's still not clear to me."

Kazuki could not replace the smile from his face. He surely loved surprising people with his acts. "I can't divulge anything and everything to you. But I assure you, the hooker thing is not involved with my change of style. Right, Natsumi?"

Natsumi gasped, unready for Kazuki's question. Ginji looked at her expression intently. "You and Kazuki-chan are hiding something from us…" His tone was sad.

Kazuki immediately spoke for Natsumi. "It's not much of a big deal. You'll just laugh when you knew it."

"But I couldn't sleep for that!" Ginji was super-deformed again.

Kazuki laughed. " Don't worry, me and Natsumi are nothing but friends."

Ginji was back to his normal form, blushing. Natsumi was red, too. "I-I didn't mean that." The thunder boy said.

Kazuki smiled at him. "If you say so."

"Okay okay just let it go guys!" Hevn exclaimed.

Ban rolled his eyes. "But you can't let go of Kazuki's back."

"You mean, sexy back." Hevn retorted while hugging Kazuki from behind.

"Yeah, whatever." The evil eye master replied.

"Did you tell this to Shidou and others yet?" Hevn asked, still feeling Kazuki's back.

The Fuchoin style master just shook his head. All attention was on him and it was slowly making him uneasy, until Honky Tonk's door opened. A girl wearing a hat and a white flowery dress showed up. She closed her wet umbrella and made her way towards the group, then bowed her head. They were all looking at each other, confused. When she raised her head, they all narrowed their eyes and looked to see her face. The group still ignorant and clueless, Kazuki chuckled.

"Hey. Ren."

Big gasps can be heard all over the place.

Ban gritted his teeth and closed his eyes with much amazement. "Say, who wants to bet? The world sure is gonna end tonight."
