It's been a while and I feel a double update should make up for it. I felt real inspired to continue and I ended up finishing Yin and Yang.

Chapter Seven- Acceptance

Kuno was reflecting on the afternoon's outing. This was the longest time she had spent as a girl and she was starting to feel comfortable in this form. She still preferred to be a guy, but she no longer dreaded turning into a girl whenever cold water came her way.

Perhaps I just needed to spend a lot of time as a girl to come to terms with it. It's almost as if Kodachi knew this.

He noticed then that her sister had stopped and she followed suite, wondering why she stopped. They had already agreed to go home after the ice cream. She looked at Kodachi and she gaped in surprise. A guy was kissing her! A complete stranger just came up to her and kissed her!

Kuno's look of surprise gave way to a glare that she fixed on the stranger. How dare he steal a kiss from my sister! He'll regret that after I'm done with him. Kuno didn't have her sword with her. Kodachi persuaded her to leave it at home. However, Kuno did have her fists and that would be more than enough. Before she could step forward to mete out justice, the boy stepped up to her.

"Ah, another lovely lady. Greetings, I am Mikado Sanzenin." He leaned forward and captured Kuno's lips in his own.

Kuno's eyes widened and her mind shut down. This cannot be happening! I'm getting kissed by a guy!

Pulling back, Sanzenin continued, "Permit me to take you on a date where we can get to-," He didn't get to finish his sentence because he was sent flying skyward courtesy of Kuno's right fist.

"I think I'm going to be ill," Kuno muttered.

"What did you just do!?" Kodachi exclaimed, looking up at where Sanzenin had disappeared.

"I think I sent him on a one-way trip to China."

"But, why?"

"He kissed me just after we had met and he assumed that I would date with him."

"Well," she said, noticing that people were staring at them. "what did you expect, sister dear? You are rather attractive."

Kodachi's emphasis on sister made Kuno realize that everyone was staring at them. No, not looking at them, but rather at something heading their way. She turned around.

There was a group of girls running toward them. They were chasing a small man carrying an enormous sack on his back. As he ran, he was saying, "What a haul! What a haul!" Kuno had no idea what was in the sack, but she bet that the contents belonged to the girls. She further recognized the man: Happosai. He frequently hung around the Tendos, though she did not know why.

The girls caught up to Happosai, snatched the sack away, stomped on him, and then left, leaving a trampled, bruised, and dazed little man on the street. He lifted his face off the road and his eyes focused on Kuno's female body.

He leaped to his feet, his injuries already healed and forgotten. "Wow! Pretty lady!" he exclaimed. He drank in the long slim legs (even though they were concealed by pants) before running his hands along them. "Hmm, nice. Very nice. Oh my, what a firm butt. Strong and firm all over…except here! Oh, this is divine."

Kuno was frozen in shock and disbelief. This old man was touching every part of her body and it was uncomfortable in every way imaginable. A creeped out and violated feeling came over her when Happosai started hugging her chest and rubbing her breasts with his head.

"How dare you touch me, you lecher!" she cried, striking a downward blow to Happosai's head, sending the little man to the pavement. She turned to her sister. "Let's get out of here, now!"

Before more weird stuff happens, she added silently as they raced home.

I cannot believe it. I get kissed by one guy and touched by another. Kuno shuddered at the memories. Despite those unpleasant experiences, she still felt at peace with being half-girl. In fact, she was currently laying on her bed, still a girl. I think I'll sleep as a girl tonight, she mused, her eyelids drooping closed. She had almost dozed off when she felt hot water pour on her.

He sat up with a gasp. Thankfully, he had changed into her nightclothes when he got home. He glanced to his right to see his servant with a tea kettle.

He cuffed him before saying, "How dare you do that!"

"B-but, Master. You almost went to sleep as a girl."

"That was the idea, you idiot."

"I don't understand, Master."

"My sister and I talked after we came home from school. She made me realize that being half-girl is not truly a curse. I actually had a somewhat pleasant afternoon as a girl."

"Master! Are you saying you like being a girl?"

"I suppose I am. At least sometimes. I do not intend to spend the majority of my time in girl form, if that is what you were thinking."

"Oh, no Master. I wasn't thinking that at all."

"Good. Well, I guess I'll sleep as a girl another night."

"Good night Master Kuno." Sasuke left the room and headed for his quarters, his thoughts on the previous conversation. I can't believe Master Kuno actually enjoys his curse. I can't get him to change his mind, for he is a stubborn man. I know talking to Mistress Kodachi about this won't do any good. She convinced the master to accept his curse. He shook his head. Clearly, his opinion was his alone. But deep down, he knew that he too would get used to Kuno's new perspective.

I know, I know. It is short and that's why I'm doing a double update and completing this story. Don't worry, though. There will be a sequel coming, but first my Sailor Moon rewrite of Allegiance and I promise this rewrite is better at least in the opinion of RubyMoon-Snape and myself.
