Title: Autumn's Raine
Chapter 4: A Few More Surprises
Disclaimer: I don't own the Gravi characters. Would be nice if I did… then, then I could write naughty YxS moments and say they were perfectly IC no matter how I made them act! Mwahahaha! ::blinks:: Um… yeah. Sorry. ^^ Don't own them, do own Raine. There. ::goes back to think about the naughty scenes::
Warnings: Yaoi, a little AU, OC (forgot to put that before. o.o), and probably some OOCness. ^^ Sorry! I try!
Notes: Sorry it took me a little longer to get this one out. I kinda got stuck halfway through it and ended up leaving the fic for a whole day. ::gasps:: But, I got it done. ^__^ I hope it's going okay for everyone. Yes, it's veeeeeery slow, but I wanted it that way. Besides, I think they are fun to play with. ^__~ And I'm trying to get more characters in, Hiro makes a cameo appearance in here. o.o So… I'm trying! Waaaah!

It had been a few hours, and a pack of cigarettes, since Yuki had went into the living room. In those hours he has done nothing, except sit in his chair and let himself think, some more. It took him exactly four hours and twenty-six minutes to realize he was just being a baby hiding himself away in his office. He had two whole weeks off before he had to start working on his next book, so why was he sitting alone when he could be with Shuichi. Even if Shuichi's antics could get rather annoying after awhile he still liked being around the young singer.
'I can ignore the fact that she's a Sprite.' Yuki suddenly thought to himself, knowing that was the real reason why he was hiding. 'I'll act like she is just a girl.' Nodding at this decision Yuki stood up and made his way out and headed towards the living room.
-----
For two hours Shuichi played all of Bad Luck's CDs for Raine. The small Sprite had been thrilled to hear Shuichi and his band. She also commented, several times, that they were very good. Shuichi would beam every time she said that, and she would just laugh softly at his expression.
For an hour after the music session Shuichi had given Raine a tour of the apartment. He explained to her that it was Yuki's place, and the writer was just letting him live there. He had a good laugh when Shuichi explained how he just showed up at Yuki's door steps all those months ago and said he wanted to move in. Raine laughed as well, she could picture Shuichi doing just that. And she only knew Shuichi for less then a day.
And now, for the past hour, Shuichi and Raine have been eating and chatting. Both of them had forgotten about breakfast, having too much fun, but soon their stomachs had reminded them to have lunch. Shuichi had made himself some Ramen and Raine insisted on the only piece of fruit in the place, an apple and a pack of two saltine crackers. The two of them were sitting in the living room; Shuichi was sitting on the floor, his legs stretched out in front of him under the coffee table. Raine was sitting with her legs crossed underneath her on the coffee table, a piece of one of the crackers in her hands. Shuichi had broken it off for her.
"I think we need to get you something else to wear, Raine." Shuichi pointed down at her dress, the tear would be quite visible when the bandage came off.
"Oh?" She blinked, placing the piece of cracker down on her lap as she looked at herself. "I suppose you are right. Though, it doesn't bother me. I'm not really used to wearing clothes to begin with."
Shuichi's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"
"Well, Sprites don't like clothes. Most feel it is too confining and just stay… naked all the time."
Shuichi's eyes got even wider, "NAKED!? All the time? Everyone?"
Raine nodded, "Almost everyone. I like to wear clothes once in awhile. I used to constantly but…" Raine fell silent for a moment, and then shook her head, "Nevermind…" She paused a moment, then continued, "I figured that I would wear this dress when I came to visit the humans this time around. Though, I didn't expect any to see me. But I guess it's ruined now."
Shuichi sat their silent for a minute. He had seen the flicker of sorrow flash across Raine's face a moment ago, but he wasn't sure if he should ask. After a second he decided against it, "Well, Yuki can fix it. He is good at sewing and cooking and writing and..." Shuichi began to see hearts, "My Yuki is good at lots of things!" Slowly something came to him, "Oooooo, what if Yuki was naked all the time, like the Sprites!?" Raine blinked, quickly looking over at Shuichi with wide eyes. "Oooooo, my Yuki is so handsome!" The hearts Shuichi was seeing began to multiply as he moved off into his own world. "Yuki~ Yuki~" His hands went up to his cheeks, trying to cover the blush that had started. "Oooooo" He soon began to swoon.
Raine just continued to blink and she watched as Shuichi was soon gone, lost in his own world. She chuckled and shook her head, picking up her cracker and taking another bite. It was at that moment that Yuki walked in.
-----
Yuki frowned when he began walking towards the living room. He was hearing Shuichi saying his name over and over in a weird voice and then he was hearing 'Ooooo' sounds.
He immediately froze at what he saw when he walked into the living room. Shuichi was sitting on the floor, his back against the couch and his head thrown back as he kept chanting "Ooooo, Yuki~" He had the goofiest grin on his face and Yuki was sure he didn't want to know what the young singer was thinking. Especially not with that blush that was now creeping across Shuichi's cheeks.
He looked down at the coffee table, spotting Raine looking up at him with a cracker piece in her hands and she was chewing as well. "What has him all worked up?" Suddenly he realized he had made a mistake in speaking. The spell Shuichi had placed on himself was broken. He jumped to his feet and in an instant Shuichi was plastered to Yuki's side. He was nuzzling against the writer's chest, and Yuki could swear he was purring.
"Yuki, Yuki, Yuki!"
Said Yuki sighed, "What?"
"Would you walk around naked all the time?" Shuichi's voice was soft and almost seductive.
Yuki immediately frowned, his eyes widening slightly. "Would I what?"
Shuichi began to swoon, "Would you walk around naked all the time? Like the Sprites?"
Yuki quickly looked down at Raine at the mention of Sprites. She blushed slightly and explained, "We were talking about me getting something else to wear and I mentioned that most Sprites don't like wearing clothes at all."
"Ah." Yuki gave this in a soft reply.
"Ne, ne Yuki. Would you?" Shuichi hugged Yuki tighter, looking up at him with heart shaped eyes.
Yuki thought this question over for a moment. What was Shuichi trying to get at by asking this? It was a stupid question to begin with. Would he walk around naked all the time? But then he realized what Shuichi must have been thinking, 'The little pervert' he thought to himself.
Yuki smirked suddenly, looking down at Shuichi. "I don't know, I might." He brought his arms up to wrap around Shuichi, continuing to smirk. "If I did it would give my fans something even better to look at, don't you think?"
"Wha-?" Shuichi blinked suddenly, all of the hearts disappearing. 'I hadn't thought of that! No one gets to see Yuki naked except me!' Shuichi thought to himself, his arms tightening around Yuki as his cheeks puffed somewhat in anger. "Nevermind! I don't want to share!"
"Ah." Yuki couldn't help but smile, 'So predictable.'
"You are funny, Shuichi." Raine laughed, having just finished the rest of the cracker. Shuichi just continued to puff his cheeks.
-----
"You can let go now, idiot." Yuki sighed; he had been standing in the same position for almost fifteen minutes. Shuichi had his arms tightly around Yuki's waist and he kept nuzzling against the writer's chest.
"No. If I let you go you might disappear. And then you'll reappear somewhere naked for all the fan girls to stare at you!" Shuichi pouted, his arms seeming to get even tighter.
"That's not going to happen." Yuki sighed again. "I promise. Now let go!" Yuki pushed Shuichi off, growling slightly when the other just held on tighter. "I'm just going to sit on the couch! Let go brat!"
After a second Shuichi finally let go, deflating slightly. "Okay."
Yuki just shook his head and made his way over to the couch, sitting down with little grace. He sat there a while, trying to ignore the face Shuichi was making, but he couldn't for long. Slowly he glanced up at his emotional lover and sighed. "Come here, idiot." Yuki patted the space next to him and in an instant Shuichi was there, curled up against his side.
"Aw, Yuki."
Yuki ignored him, instead looking down at Raine. "I'm sorry; he must have been annoying you all day. It was rude of me to lock myself away." It was hard for him to apologize, and it showed in his tone. He sounded hesitant.
Raine looked up, "Oh, no. Far from it! I had a good time with Shuichi. And I understand, Shuichi said you had work to do." She smiled, her wings flapping a couple of times as they sparkled brightly. "But, I am glad to see you are out now." Yuki nodded.
"Hey, Raine." Shuichi sat up, looking at the Sprite's wings. "Your wings, they are sparkling. They weren't before."
Raine glanced back, and smiled fully when she saw how her wings looked. "That means I'm all better. When we Sprites are sick or hurt or wings show it. The more they sparkle the healthier we are."
"Oh? That's neat." Shuichi smiled. "Can I touch them?"
"Shuichi." Yuki frowned.
"I don't mind. If you want." Raine laughed, standing up and turning slightly. Shuichi leaned forward and ran a finger along one of the four parts. Raine giggled. "That tickles."
"They are smooth."
Raine nodded and smiled proudly. "Yep! And watch." Raine turned all the way around, her back to them both, and she began to flap her wings. As she did so what looked like glitter began to fall down towards the coffee table. But before it met the wooden furniture they disappeared.
"Wow!" Shuichi reached out to touch some of the fairy dust, as it were, and smiled more when it left a tingling feeling on his fingers. "Does that stuff do anything? Like, can it make water into wine! Or… or flowers bloom in the winter!? Or… Can it make POCKY APPEAR!!?"
"Umm… no, it can't." She frowned for a moment, 'What is Pocky?' She then shook her head, "But, I can do some things." She winked.
"Oh? Like what?"
"Well, I can change the color of the leaves. Actually, it's my duty to during the autumn."
"Really!?" Shuichi's eyes widened.
"Yeah." Raine nodded, "It's a little hard to demonstrate because I can only do it during that season."
"Wow! Aren't Sprites neat, Yuki?" He leaned back and curls against his lover once more.
"They are interesting." Yuki admitted, watching Raine closely.
She felt Yuki's unease. "Mmm, since my body is healed I can make Yuki-san a bit more comfortable!" Raine smiled fully at her current thought.
"Huh?" Yuki frowned.
"I know you are uncomfortable seeing a three and a half inch tall Sprite. So, I'm change!"
"Change?" Shuichi blinked.
"Yes, see I would have sooner, but I wasn't at full strength. But now I can!"
"Can what?" Yuki sat forward, Shuichi moving with him.
"Take human shape." She smiled fully.
"What?..." Shuichi blinked, "But you are in human shape now." He was so confused now.
"No, no." She shook her head with a smile. "I'll show you what I mean." Raine ran to the end of the coffee table, away from the other two, and then took flight. She landed a few feet from the coffee table, turning towards the others and folding her wings behind her. Slowly her eyes slid closed, she clasped her hands in front of her and her wings began twitching against her back. Slowly her whole body began to glow a whitish blue color, soon all you could see was her body outline. The outline then began to grow and stretch; the wrappings and dress ripping and falling to the floor. Soon Raine was the size of a normal human woman, about five foot six. The transformation had only lasted a few seconds, and now it was over. The light disappeared and Raine reappeared, now completely naked. "See." She smiled, not minding.
Shuichi and Yuki on the other hand were shocked. They, for the moment, completely ignored the fact that Raine was now an inch *taller* then Shuichi, and focused on the fact she was naked. Shuichi was the first to react; he blushed from ear to ear and covered his eyes. Yuki just continued to stare, his mouth open slightly, almost in appreciation of her body. She was very beautiful.
Shuichi, peeking through his fingers, glanced over at Yuki and quickly elbowed his lover. "Yuki!!"
Yuki blinked, "Wha-?" He glanced down at Shuichi.
"Don't stare at her!"
"Shuichi? What's the matter?" Raine was slightly confused, why were they acting that way? She frowned slightly; she could feel embarrassment and appreciation. 'Why?' Slowly she looked down at herself and then knew why. "Oh!"
-----
As soon as she had realized why Shuichi and Yuki were acting the way they were, she had sputtered out apologizes before she ran into the nearest room, closing the door behind her. It was the bathroom. She could hear Yuki ordering Shuichi to bring some of his clothes, since she looked about his size.
It had taken Shuichi about five minutes to get an outfit for Raine that would look decent on a girl. He ended up bringing her a pair of his red boxers, a pair of black cargo pants and his yellow and teal jersey shirt, the teal on the shirt almost matched her hair. The shirt was a little tight, but not enough to be uncomfortable.
After Raine had put everything on she came back out of the bathroom. As she did so both Yuki and Shuichi nodded, the clothes fit her personality as well as her body. "It looks good on you, Raine!" Shuichi squealed in delight as he bounced over to the Sprite. "We just need to get you some shoes if you want to go out."
Raine looked down at her bare feet, wiggling her toes some. "I suppose."
"Well-" Before Yuki could finish his thought the phone began to ring.
"I'll get it." Shuichi smiled and headed for the phone that was in the hallway. "Hello?"
"Shuichi! What happened, you were supposed to call me this morning. Remember?" Hiro was on the other end of the line.
"Oh! I'm sorry Hiro, I forgot. I've been so busy this morning! You will not believe what happened to me last night!" Shuichi held the phone closer to his ear, cradling it.
Raine's eyes widened when she heard this. She shook her head and rushed down the hallway, sliding across the wood floor to Shuichi's side. She shook her head and whispered, "No, no, no."
"What? Is everything okay?"
"Huh?" Shuichi moved the phone away from his face, and looked at Raine.
"You can't tell anyone." She whispered.
"Shuichi, who is that?" Hiro's voice sounded curious, and concerned.
"You can't." Raine shook her head.
"Um…" Shuichi glanced over at Yuki. His lover was just staring at him with the 'Well?' look plastered across his face. "That was just the TV. And everything is fine! I just wanted to say that… Yuki and I…" Shuichi bit his lower lip, not very good at lying. "…we had breakfast in bed and… it was so nice!"
"I thought we were talking about last night?"
"Oh… we were, weren't we?" Shuichi began to flounder. "Um… nevermind!" Shuichi laughed nervously. "I'll call you later, Hiro. I have some errands to run for Yuki."
"Oh, okay. Don't let him work you too hard. You have the weekend off." Raine could hear Hiro's soft chuckle from where she was standing.
"Hiiiiiiro~ He wouldn't!" Shuichi pouted.
"Okay, okay. Talk to you later."
"Okay." He nodded and hung up the phone. After the receiver was down Shuichi turned towards Raine. "I guess this is going to get a little tricky."
"Yes it appears so." Yuki nodded.
"…" Raine frowned, fidgeting a little where she stood.

CCT: Okay, that's it for now. ^__^ I'll work on the next one soon! Please tell me what you think of this chapter. Too much OOC? And… I love Raine! She is going to be more fun later. o.o!
