Here it is at last, folks. The second chapter.
Sorry it took so long for us to write it. I,
for one, have a good excuse, though. I'm
pregnant, and dealing with all of the lovely
nausea and exhaustion that go along with the
first trimester.

Anyhoo, enjoy! And please check out our
individual fics as well, under our respective
names.

"Ohayo!", Aya greeted Ken, Yoji and Omi as they
stood at the door to the apartment she shared
with Sakura. "Shouldn't you be getting to the
shop? My brother will be angry if he has to-"

"Actually, that's what we came here to talk to
you about", Ken interrupted, walking out from
behind Yoji. "We-"

"Ken?" Aya gave him an odd look. "Why are you
hiding a doll in your shirt?"

"Um, it's not a doll", Ken replied, as tiny
violet eyes peered out at Aya. "This is your
brother."

"You're kidding, right?" Aya asked skeptically,
staring intently at the small redhead. "Oh my
goodness! It *is* Ran!", she finally exclaimed,
taking him from Ken before he had a chance to
do anything about it.

"Aya! He-"

"He's naked.", Aya frowned. You're going to
have to-"

"I know", Ken sighed. "That's why we came here.
I'm going to go out and try to find some
clothes for Ran. So I was wondering if you and
Sakura could help out at the shop today while
Ran and I went out."

"Good idea, Ken-kun. But how about you and I go
and Sakura will help at the shop", Aya said as
Ran cuddled to her.

"Good idea. Ken doesn't know much about clothes
shopping", Yoji said, smirking at the glare Ken
shot at him. "It's true!"

"Shut up, Yoji", Ken said looking back to Aya.

"Alright we'll go open up the shop. You have
fun and hurry", Omi said, dragging Yoji down
the hall. Sakura followed them.

"Let me get my purse and see if I have anything
for Ran right now", Aya said, giving Ran back to
Ken.

"Aya!"

"I'll be right back Ran-nichan." She assured
him and went into her room.

Aya looked through her closet and pulled out an
old shoe box. She opened it and dug around
inside, finally pulling out some cloth. She
brought it out to the living room.

This is all I could find." She said, holding
up the blue doll dress.

"No!" Ran cried, trying to burrow deeper into
Ken's shirt.

"Come on, Ran it's only for a short time", Ken
said.

"It's not that bad, Ran. At least it doesn't
have any ruffles or lace on it", Aya said,
holding the dress out to him.

"No!"

"Ken, maybe you should put it on him", Aya
suggested, handing the dress to him.

Ken looked from the dress to Ran. It was
pretty plain and a nice dark blue. He finally
sighed and put Ran down. Holding the dress over
Ran's head, Ken attempted to put it on him. The
redhead wriggled away and hid behind Aya's
ankle.

"No dress."

"Come on, ni-chan", Aya said, trying to pry him
off her ankle.

"No dress!"

"Would you rather wander around naked?" Ken
asked.

"Yes!"

"In public? Where everyone can see you?"

Ran looked at the dress, then Ken, then Aya. He
let go of Aya's ankle and let Ken put the dress
on him.

"Everyone ready now?", Aya asked, looking from
Ken to Ran, and trying not to laugh.

"No."

"What is it now, Ran?", Ken sighed.

Ran looked up at Ken, who then leaned over,
pressing his ear to Ran's small mouth. Ran
quickly whispered something.

Ken Rolled his eyes. "Alright, Ran. But I
really think that you should take my suggestion
and-"

"I don't want to!", Ran argued with conviction.

"Well, I'm not going to keep doing this for
you."

"What?", Aya asked, puzzled.

"Ran has to use the bathroom", Ken replied,
ignoring the glare he recieved from his small
lover. "And his bottom is too small for the
toilet, or even a training potty."

"Okay. We'll pick up some diapers while we're
out", Aya decided.

"No diapers!", Ran protested.

"Ran, I'm getting tired of holding you over the
toilet", Ken said through gritted teeth. "You
always ended up spraying me."

"Gomen", Ran blushed.

"That settles it, then", Aya decided. "Diapers
it is."

Ran looked back at Ken, scowling as the larger
man carried him to the bathroom. "This time",
he thought, "I'm spraying him on purpose."
