Chapter 6 - Doubt and Trust
"Ahh, Usagi-san..."
"What's wrong?"
"Your hands... They are cold..."
"Then melt them with your warmth..."
"Nnh... Ah... Usagi-san... I love you... probably."
"You mean absolutely, right?"
...
"Misaki..."
Akihiko was awaken at a morning and found that he was dreaming about Misaki again.
Strangely enough, it seemed that he will dream about Misaki for every day after his death.
Of course, it is because he missed Misaki so much, and dreaming about him for every day just had indicated how far Akihiko had missed him. Even words couldn't describe it enough.
To tell the truth, Akihiko was jealous with Hiroki and Miyagi, as both of them were happily with their lovers at their side, while Akihiko can only see his lover in his dreams.
Akihiko began to wonder why Misaki was killed. He began to make some theories...
1. Somebody had a vengeance towards Misaki.
But why? What kind of person would hate Misaki?
2. Somebody had a crush on Akihiko and wanted to have Akihiko by himself/herself so he/she became a yandere and killed Misaki.
Hmmm... Probably.
3. One of his father's plan to separate him from Misaki.
This may be possible too...
4. Misaki mistook a poison for an orange juice.
Nah, impossible. Misaki may be an idiot, but he's not that idiot.
5. Someone put poison in Akihiko's drink, Misaki found out about it and does a heroic sacrifice by drinking it instead of Akihiko.
This is also impossible. Akihiko didn't remember someone preparing a drink for him and Misaki snatched it instead. Furthermore Misaki could've just threw the drink away instead of drinking it.
6. Misaki was greatly hated by one half of the fandom so they wished for his death.
Akihiko felt that this is the most legit reason. "I know that fans can say and do anything they want, but wishing a character to die!? That's abusing the power of fandom!" thought Akihiko.
"Wait a minute..." It seems that Akihiko got an epiphany. "A poison that gives a painful and slow death, isn't that kind of poison only exists in the Netherworld?"
...
Akihiko was walking to the kitchen to make himself some coffee to start the day. He met Hiroki at the halfway to the kitchen.
"Hmm? You woke up early today." It is rare for Akihiko to wake up early in the morning and no one dares to wake him up from his beautiful sleep.
"Morning, Hiroki. So how's the angel?" Despite of his denials regarding the Angel of Avarice and Misaki are the same person, he actually worried about the angel's condition after taking the bullet for him.
And after the angel had lost his consciousness, Akihiko was the one who carried the angel himself all the way to their place without help from anyone.
"Nowaki said that his injuries was serious but thankfully the angel is very skilled in healing magic, so he healed himself. He's nothing to worry now."
"Has he woken up? Where is he now!?" At a sudden Akihiko became desperate about the angel.
"He's at the kitchen, making breakfast with-" Before Hiroki could finish his words Akihiko quickly ran to the kitchen.
At the kitchen, Akihiko saw the Angel of Avarice who was wearing an apron, working with the stove.
"Misaki... Is that you...?"
Akihiko's jealousy had been triggered as he saw the angel was happily chatting with Nowaki and Shinobu who were at both of his sides while preparing breakfast altogether.
"No... Stay away from him..."
Akihiko slowly approached the angel from behind, wrapping his arms around the angel's waist and buried his face at the angel's dark brown hair. Akihiko could smell the angel's strong scent of blood.
"It smells and feels like Misaki..." Akihiko felt energized like everytime he touched Misaki in the morning.
"Umm... Excuse me, but what are you... doing?" asked the angel, unlike Misaki who usually protests.
"Uhh... Nothing!" Akihiko quickly pulled away, as he realized that he had embraced the wrong person. (Maybe, hahahahaha!)
"Come to think of it, I've told you my name yesterday so you need to tell me yours now." Akihiko tried to dig something important.
"Uhh...? My... My name!?" The Angel of Avarice freaked out as his name being asked. "It's... It's Vulcanus!" said the angel uncertainly.
"Vulcanus, huh? Good. This thief angel is definitely NOT Misaki."
...
"Hey Hiroki, didn't you feel kinda strange today?" asked Miyagi, as he felt something wrong with himself.
"I think I do! Suddenly my body feels strange!" Hiroki hugged his own body while shivering.
"Everyone, I had a bad news!" Shinobu suddenly appeared while screaming.
"What's the bad news, Shinobu-chin?"
"Remember the demons we have defeated yesterday?"
"Yeah, so what's the matter with them?"
"They secretly spread a virus that can cause a deadly disease to us!"
"So now I, Nowaki, Miyagi and you are infected!?"
"I afraid yes..."
"Then we're going to die?" Miyagi pulled Shinobu into a hug. "As long as you are at my side, then I will not feel scared at all... Please die altogether with me like this..."
Shinobu blushed, he quickly pushed Miyagi away. "I-Idiot! I didn't even say that we're going to die!"
"Then what is this deadly disease will do to us?"
"We will get GENDERBENDED!"
"What!? That's worse than death!" As Hiroki said that, he felt that his chests were growing bigger and his hair was growing longer to his chest.
He took a peek inside his pants. "HOLY SHIT! IT'S GONE!"
Hiroki quickly closed his mouth with his hand. "Since when did my voice became so girlish!?"
Miyagi on the other hand also had his chests grow bigger and hair grow into shoulder-length. His face began to look feminine, like a middle-aged woman.
As for Shinobu, strangely his chests doesn't grow much (A-cup chest size FTW!), but his hair grew waist-length and his face become more feminine.
"Hiro-san!" A young woman's voice was suddenly heard as she entered the room.
The young woman has big chests and shiny dark blue hair that was hip-length. She was very beautiful...
"N-N-Nowaki!?"
"I suddenly... What!? Hiro-san, Miyagi-san and Shinobu-kun became girls too!?"
"It's all thanks to a disease spread by the demons we defeated yesterday! Those damn demons... How dare they!?" said Hiroki while slamming the wall with his... Oopps, her fist.
"Look! Now I'm being addressed with 'her'!" protested Hiroki.
Akihiko entered the room. He saw the girls and all of them were speechless.
"What's going on? Are you having cross-dressing competition here?"
"WE'VE TURNED INTO GIRLS!" said all of them in unison.
"Are you kidding me? You better do or else this will be a yuri genre... And the fandom will lost their interests with us and easily drop Junjou Romantica like hot potatoes."
"We're not! Hey Shinobu, is there a cure for this disease!? I'm not changing my name into Hiromi!"
"I afraid not... We're going to be like this for eternity..."
"That can't be..." Hiroki looked down.
"It's okay, Hiro-san... Being a guy or a girl, Hiro-san is still Hiro-san..." Nowaki put her hands on Hiroki's shoulders to console her.
"That's not the problem here... I need to be used to be a girl!"
"And we don't even know what will the fandom react for this," added Miyagi.
...
"Everyone?" called Vulcanus.
He was worried with the sudden silence among all of them.
Vulcanus walked into the main room and saw his comrades, except Akihiko had turned into girls.
"Wha-..."
"As you see, we're all have been genderbended. It's all thanks to the demons from yesterday."
"The mid-level demons are very cunning after all... So is there a cure for this?"
"N-O spells no."
Vulcanus felt sympathy to them. He took a small knife and stabbed his arm.
"Ngh...!" moaned the angel in pain. Everyone were shocked at his sudden action.
"Here, drink my blood... Angel blood can heal any diseases and impurities, so please drink it..." said Vulcanus as he offered his blood to his genderbended comrade.
"No... Stop making me seeing Misaki in you, you thief angel...!" thought Akihiko.
Except Akihiko, each of them took a sip of his blood and they all turned back into normal.
"I can't believe it! I'm a guy again!" said Hiroki.
"Thank goodness! Everyone is back to normal!" chorused Nowaki.
"Goshousamadeshita..." (Something that japanese people will say after having a meal, which means 'Thanks for the food!') Miyagi clasped his hands altogether.
"Thank you, Misaki..." said Shinobu.
Akihiko and Vulcanus was very shocked at Shinobu's recent words.
"Umm... I'm sorry Shinobu-kun, but I'm not Misaki..." replied Vulcanus uncertainly as if he was hiding something. "Didn't I tell you before? My name is Vulcanus!"
"What did you just done?" asked Akihiko sternly.
Oh? Do you want some too?" asked Vulcanus sarcastically.
"No thanks. By the way you're expecting them to pay for this, right? Helping the demons is against the law of Celestia after all."
"Absolutely~!"
"WHAT!?"
"-not. You all no need to pay for drinking my blood."
"Hmm? Why suddenly you will give your blood for free?"
"Because if they all didn't intend to save me with defeating them, they all wouldn't get into this mess, is that right?"
The angel continued, "I'm sorry... If it isn't for saving me, you all wouldn't become like that. I'm so sorry."
Vulcanus looked away. He seemed that he was feeling a heavy guilt inside his heart. His emerald eyes were showing an obvious sadness.
"So, you think that this is your fault!? No... Stop making me seeing Misaki in you, you thief angel...!" thought Akihiko.
