* Falls on the floor. * Oh my Ra! I don't believe how many reviews I got for this! Thank you all! ^.^


Kiju was polishing a crystal ball and humming happily to herself when Ryou came bursting through the door. He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and the baggiest clothes he could find, in an effort to hide his new body.

She didn't look up when he entered, but still found it necessary to comment. "I knew you'd make a pretty girl, Ryou."

Ryou walked over to her, panicked and upset. "What did you DO to me?"

Kiju put the crystal ball down and looked at him. "Lets see, judging by your body shape, the eyes, the breasts…I would guess you have become a girl."

Ryou took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "But I don't want to be a girl." He said, his voice shaking a bit.

Kiju shook her head. "As a member of the female population, I am offended by that."

"I was born a GUY, and I like being a guy!" Ryou exclaimed. He didn't know how else to make her understand.

"Now I am VERY offended." Kiju stood up. "I did you a favor, I helped you out with your love life."

Ryou spread his arms and looked down at himself. "How can this help? Look at me."

She looked at him. "You should consider yourself lucky." She looked down at herself. "I was born a girl and you STILL have bigger boobs than me."

Ryou practically fell over from that comment. "You can HAVE them! I don't want them! Please! Change me back!"

Kiju smiled. "What makes you think I can change you back?"

Ryou felt his heart sink to his feet. He couldn't be stuck like this forever. He just couldn't. "You mean, I'm stuck like this forever?"

Kiju got a smug look on her face. "Dork, of course I can change you back."

"Well than do it!"

Kiju smiled. "Why don't you wait it out a while? See how things go with your love?"

Ryou blinked at her. He could not understand how being a girl would help him at all.

Kiju seemed to know what he was thinking. She motioned for him to sit down. "look, what do most people look for in a mate?"

"Personality?"

"Bingo." Kiju said. "So if he falls in love with your personality when you're a girl, when you change back…"
Ryou was beginning to understand, but there were still so many things that didn't make sense. "But that's tricking him. I don't want to do that."

"That's right, you don't want to trick him, you HAVE to."

"What?!"

"Look, I'll show you." As Kiju said those words, the room changed. They went from being inside a store, to being in what seemed to be space, with lots of little silver threads floating around. Ryou looked around, trying to make sense of his surroundings.

"Your not human, are you?" he said.

"You're a smart one, Ryou!" Kiju said, appearing behind him.

She smiled as Ryou tried to take a step back. "What are you?"

"I am a Fate. I work with the lives of humans." She held up two of the silver threads. "This is your life thread." She said, indicating the one in her right hand. "And this is the one of the man you love, Yugi."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Ryou asked.

"They are supposed to be intertwined," Kiju said. "But they obviously aren't." she held them up. "You two were supposed to fall in love, get married, ECT. But due to certain circumstances beyond our control, that didn't work out."

Ryou narrowed his chocolate brown eyes. "What 'certain circumstances'?"

Kiju looked a little embarrassed. "Like Yugi accidentally being born a guy."

Ryou almost fell over once again. "You mean he was supposed to be born a girl!? Than why is he a guy? What happened?"

"It's a long story." Kiju sighed. "Lets just say, never hire help without first checking their SAT scores."

Ryou sweatdropped. He had never been faced with this sort of situation before. "Than why did you turn Yugi into a girl?"

"I found you first."

Ryou shook his head, his long hair tossing behind him. "Well I refuse. I love Yugi, but I don't want to be a girl."

"Hmm." Kiju cocked an eyebrow. "Your a lot bolder as a girl. But I am NOT getting messing up fate just because YOU miss having a"

Kiju transported them back to the store then, so Ryou missed the last thing she said. He shook his head. He really didn't want to be a girl anymore.

"Will you turn me back now?" He asked.

Kiju shook her head. "No, we have something more important to do."

"What?"

"Shopping!"
