How Did This Happen?


Chapter VIII

A/N: My head hurts a lot. Today I achieved nothing that could be benefit me, but I helped out others with their problems. So, since I did so little I decided to write this chapter up. I hope you guys enjoy it. Hm, I think this might end being finished sooner than I predicted. That's good considering that I have two new ideas for Juubei and Kazuki. I still need to type up my other four ideas. Maybe this Friday I can. Thanks so much for the reviews! I love reading them since they make my day shine a lot brighter! Thanks all of you! Special thanks to my beta, Brokenshardsofmyheart99!


A month from their holidays had passed and so far MakubeX had been the only one to have been back to normal. It went without saying that the rest of the gang had grown restless and impatient over figuring out a solution to all of the mess.

"Don't worry, I'm working on trying to find a solution," MakubeX said to the babies. He then smiled at them and stifled a giggle. "Wow, you all look really silly as babies," he laughed.

"That computer geek…" Ban hissed. He clenched his fists and started shouting every horrible word he knew. Of course, that did nothing since MakubeX could not understand him or the others.

Ginji frowned. "Ban, it's not helping. He keeps laughing harder," he explained to his angry friend.

Ban huffed. "Damn jerk. Well, he's not going to help! We need to figure out some solution. Hey girly, couldn't you think of something?" he asked Kazuki, who frowned when he heard what he was being called now.

Kazuki looked down at the bed. "I'm afraid I don't have any ideas or solutions. MakubeX is our only choice at the moment," he said.

"Not entirely," a smooth, cold voice startled Kazuki from behind.

Juubei immediately pulled Kazuki into his arms, away from Akabane. "Juubei," Kazuki whispered into his protector's chest. Though they were babies, Kazuki still felt the same warmth and comfort from his Juubei that he always felt.

"This is exactly what I meant. Mr. Kazuki and his protector kissed and a mere second later, Mr. MakubeX turned back to normal. Perhaps it is their kisses that will bring us back to the way we are suppose to be," Akabane shared his theory. He looked on as the others thought about his words, and as Kazuki blushed furiously and buried his face into Juubei's chest.

"Wait… They kissed?" Ban asked, with disgust in his tone.

Himiko nodded. "Yeah. Why, Ban?"

"How can you take it so normally?! They kissed! They're guys!"

Ginji sighed heavily. "Ban, there's no need to sound so disgusted. If they like each other so much, then they shouldn't be banned from kissing, right?"

Hven and Himiko nodded in agreement.

"WRONG!" Ban shouted. "It's not right!"

Kazuki buried his face deeper into Juubei's chest. He could feel his protector growing uneasy about their current situation. 'Please, Juubei, don't let his words influence you at all. If you were to leave me, then I'd die!'

Before the argument got any worse, Juubei decided that it was his time to speak up. "Midou!" Everyone turned their heads to the usually quiet Juubei. "It is not fair. You are going against what you truly believe. Do not lie and tell me that my love for Kazuki is wrong! Love should be shared with whomever desires it. It is a beautiful thing to have. Do not oppose me on this matter, Midou! You love a man, too, correct? Listen to your minuscule heart, and tell me the truth!"

Tears ran down Kazuki's face. He was so happy from hearing Juubei admit his love for him. A smile grew on his face as he looked up to see a very serious Juubei glaring at Ban. Something had changed about his protector, something that made it possible for Kazuki to know that he didn't have to worry about his future with Juubei.

"I DON'T LOVE A MAN!" roared Ban. He stood up, for the first time, and walked over to the samurai.

"Your love his messed up! People like you should die!" He drew his hand back and punched Juubei on the eye. Everyone gasped or cried out.

MakubeX, whom had been working on his laptop, figured out that a fight had broken out between the babies. He rushed right over and separated Ban from the others. "Oh, Juubei!" He picked up the baby and carried him away from Toshiki's bedroom.

"Ban, how could?!" a very dejected Ginji asked with tears in his eyes.

Hven scowled. "That was the most immature and disgraceful thing I've ever witnessed!"

Himiko merely glared at Ban.

Kazuki was in tears, and refused to look at Ban. He felt arms pick him up and gently stroke his hair. "It'll be alright, Mr. Kazuki."

All the babies turned around, and sadness and anger were soon replaced with feelings of perplexity. Akabane had grown back to normal. He looked exactly the same, except for the lack of clothes that made everyone blush from embarrassment.


A/N: Sorry for it being short. So, Ban's a little cruel in this chapter. However, do you really believe that he's actually like this? And Akabane is on to something, isn't he? Oh, and if anyone gets offended by this, then sorry. It's part of the plot, and if I was homophobic, would I be writing this stuff? Thanks for reading!
