Goku: Ayie-nee-chan! Wake up, it's time for you to say something for our dear readers… wake up! tugged at ayie's sleeve, pulling her off the bed

Ayie: =(  v,v)=…Pu…pu…snored quietly

Goku: O_o"…Ayie-nee-chan!!

Aiko: -__-()… never mind, Sanzo and Ayie-san still sleeping after staying up all night… Sanzo helped ayie-san with her assignments, can't believe that actually happened.

Gojyo: Sanzo changed a lot since we came to live with Ayie in her college…he was ayie's backbone, keeping that girl's feet to the ground every time she's feeling down. Thank God Sanzo encouraged her a lot… even though he's quite harsh… or else she would not be able to carry on with her life anymore. It's a brutal bash for her when 'that' thing happened during her holidays and now she's back at this place where she usually lived in torments…I could not imagine of what will happen if she got nobody to comfort her…so readers and reviewers, thanks for supporting her.

Love Potion no.9

Chapter 4

Hakkai glanced around the room as he helped tying Goku's hair into two ponytails. The boy sat cross-legged with his back facing him. Goku had being a little bit obedient since he set off to work of combing his hair, straightening his spiky hair that kept popped upright every time he wanted to tie it up.

Half an hour ago, Goku sobbed quietly due to the pain that struck him when Hakkai pulled the brown strands on his head that seemed to knot altogether. The emerald-eyed man had to put a quite amount of hair gel to soften the itan's hair.

An amused curl appeared on his lips at seeing Sanzo whacking Gojyo's hand for messing with an extra hair added at the back of his head. He had give up the camisole and chose to wear a turtleneck sweater over his sleeveless gown. 'He looked rather beautiful though' Deep inside Hakkai complimented the blonde.

Sanzo did have a beautiful face, even without him wearing the wig or the gown. Hakkai didn't dare to compliment Sanzo straight to his face because the monk threatened to kill him even when he only smiled with amaze. Sanzo's face flickered with anger and disgust each time he looked at himself in the mirror.

Hakkai rolled his eyes over to Gojyo. The hanyou kept complaining about his bra made his chest itched. His hair was carefully weaved into a plait and rolled up into a bun by the maid a moment ago before the stout woman of forty set off to the kitchen to prepare lunch. His antenna-liked locks that always hung upright were fastened to each side of his head by butterfly-shaped pins.

Hakkai knew too well that neither Sanzo nor Gojyo were fond of having to disguise as a woman. Yet, both of them looked quite beautiful in a feminine form. Even he was too enthralled that he could not help himself not to stare at Gojyo and Sanzo with awe and adore the beauties of his fellow companions.

Hakkai looked down to Goku, now fully dressed as a little girl of nine. That boy looked kawaii with two ponytails hanging on each side of his head, bouncing up and down every time he moved his head. The diadem was carefully veiled beyond the spiky bangs that covered most of his forehead. A pendant clanked noisily at his neck. It was a heart-shaped pendant, a gift from Aiko just to complete the genki girl figure out of that boy.

"How do you get to wear pants instead of a skirt Hakkai?" Gojyo looked at Hakkai suspiciously. He and Sanzo were made to wear gown and cheongsam but Hakkai looked rather comfortable with a turquoise cardigan and khaki pants. "That's not fair" he demanded for justice.

'There he goes again… for the hundred times'. "Ma…ma…I have to drive the jeep and a driver looked inconvenient wearing a skirt" Hakkai explained as he pointed up his forefinger. Gojyo and Sanzo sweat dropped. 'Who could win over this man at talking?'

Hakkai chuckled when Gojyo pouted and looked away. The red headed man walked a few steps and stumbled head over heels to the floor as he stepped on his skirt. Again! Gojyo rose up at instant, felling a little bit humiliated by his carelessness. His face flushed red as he lifted up his skirt and walked grumpily to the bathroom.

The emerald-eyed man slapped his head with disbelief and laughed slightly. 'Guess we need to enhance our walking style' "Yare yare desune…" he shook his head. He rose up and stood before a mirror, studying his woman figure.

Now, he had longer dark hair that was plaited at one side. His monocle had being removed and he's wearing a spectacle instead. He wore a turtleneck t-shirt inside his cardigan to cover his Adam's apple. The rest of his comrades wore clothes that made their mark of a true man invisible.

Hakkai blushed at seeing his large fake breasts, made out of thick breasts pads. They were so ashamed that he had to shoo Aiko off from their room when they wanted to wear the bra. The poor girl retreated to her room; with a devilish smile upon her peachy lips; after demonstrating to them the proper way to wear a bra. She insisted on helping them with it but they resisted with a furious flush of red on their faces.

It was a torture to make Sanzo and Gojyo wear bras. They kept resisting and threatening to kill him if he insisted. They only surrendered to his wish when Hakkai cast them a deadly glare; a glare that he only cast to his companion once in a blue moon. It's a glare that his comrades feared the most. They would be willing to fight an army of invincible youkai than staying in his view when he cast that glare.

This was the worst ordeal they ever faced since they embarked on a mission to the west three months ago. It was countless of Sanzo's bullets that had being wasted to the air, curses and foul language uttered by both Gojyo and Sanzo, and whines of pain from Goku after being knocked violently either from Gojyo's knuckle or Sanzo's harisen. 'I guess disguising as a woman is harder than eliminating thousands of youkai'

****************************

Flashback

Goku stared at the bra, spread randomly on the bed. He studied the undergarment, not sure of what to do with it. The young itan glanced over his shoulders and looked at his fellow companions. That ero kappa hadn't stop mumbling about having to wear a cheongsam and he released his dissatisfaction to poor Hakkai, now almost lost over fatigue and dizziness.

"Hakkai…" Goku wanted to ask about the bra but he was stopped abruptly by the look on Hakkai's face. The man looked terribly dazzled over the situation. Who wouldn't? He's the one to accept all the complaints and deadly glare from the ero kappa and the namaguza bouzu. He turned his gaze back at the piece of cloth and scratched his head. Goku picked up the bra.

"You are not going to make me wear that silly thing!" Gojyo hollered as he waved one arm frantically in the air, rejecting the bra Hakkai held out at him. "And how come you get to wear pants instead of a skirt?" the red headed kappa asked annoyingly.

"Yare yare…" Hakkai sweat dropped. 'How many times do I have to explain to him?' "As I've told you before… I need to move my legs freely when I'm driving and that is one thing I can't do when I'm wearing a skirt" he explained with one finger pointed up. A cheeky smile flickered upon his face.

"Ch…!" Gojyo shrugged as he sank himself onto a chair and crossed his arms coldly before his chest. He looked down to his flat chest and sighed. 'Me…? Having breasts? I rather die in hell than having to wear a bra'

"Tsk! Tsk!" Hakkai shook his head. "Aiko just told me that Kazo gets worse at each minute… let's hope we'll get the cure soon" Hakkai tried to bait the fish; and he'd used the biggest and nastiest bait of all.

Gojyo snapped his eyes opened and glared at Hakkai. The emerald-eyed youkai grinned menacingly at him. Gojyo turned his face away and grunted. He rose up to his feet and walked toward Hakkai. The hanyou snatched the bra from Hakkai's hand and went into the bathroom after grabbing the cheongsam that hung limply on a chair.

"Do you know how to wear it?" Hakkai asked before Gojyo shut the door of the bathroom. He got no proper respond except for a harsh humph. 

The bathroom door banged furiously as it was slammed shut by Gojyo. Hakkai smiled quietly. 'He should have known… he saw them with it all the time'

"Hakkai?" the voice called out for him.

Hakkai turned to the bed, looking for Goku. As soon as he spotted the boy, Hakkai stumbled head over heels to the floor.

Goku had worn the bra on his head instead of on his chest. He made a hat out of the bra. Hakkai propped on his elbows and rose up. He looked at Goku with a nervous smile. "Goku…that's not how you wear a bra" he corrected as he stood up to his feet.

"Honto ni?" Goku asked naively. 'Now this boy knew nothing…he was sure of that'

Hakkai went to Goku and stripped the bra off his head. He stripped the boy off his usual cloth and sled the bra over his slender shoulders and placed it neat around his chest. Lucky for him, Goku would only have to wear a stretchable cotton bra. Hakkai stuffed a pair of sponges into the breast pad of Goku's bra.

"I hate being a girl" Goku grumbled as tiny red dots appeared on his chubby cheeks. Hakkai giggled nervously.

"Now put on your shirt" Hakkai ordered as he handed the young itan his cream colored sleeveless shirt. Goku took the shirt and put it on and soon hopped into a brown jumpsuit. Hakkai smiled, Goku was the easiest to handle, as the latter didn't complaint too much.

"Now Sanzo… do you need help with your bra?" Hakkai asked as he turned around to look at the monk. The blonde guy struggled hard to reach to his back to fasten the clip of his bra. Hakkai advanced to Sanzo with an offering hand.

"BANG!BANG!" a pair of bullets dashed at each side of his head and missed his cheeks by mere of an inch. Hakkai sweat dropped. He stopped at his last pace and stood dumbfounded. 'That's the third time he escaped his death call for today'

"Back off!" Sanzo warned as he blew the smoke out of the mouth of his shoureijuu. "Mess with me and you're a dead meat" the monk tossed his spirit-ascending gun onto the side table next to his bed.

Hakkai nodded frantically and backed away a few steps before scampering away to the bathroom to check on Gojyo.

"Baka!" Sanzo muttered coldly. He looked down to Goku. The saru stood staring at him, blushing furiously as he did so. "What are you staring at saru?!" he asked frigidly. Goku held out a trembling hand and pointed a finger to his chest. Sanzo looked down to his chest and blushed. He's showing off his chest with the wired bra before it. He quickly grabbed a towel and covered his chest and turned around at instant, but not before he whacked Goku's head with the harisen.

"Ittai!!!" Goku groaned as he clutched his aching head in his arms. He rubbed the spot where a new lump has started to form. He pouted at Sanzo who's banging on the bathroom door fumingly, urging the kappa to come out immediately.

A moment later, the door was spread opened and the hanyou stepped out of the bathroom, wearing the maron cheongsam. "Oi bouzu! Don't you know patience is a virtue?" the red headed asked as he brushed the locks on his forehead.

Hakkai, Sanzo and Goku gawked at seeing Gojyo in that outfit. He was stunning. They could not believe their eyes and almost thought that they're dreaming. Gojyo actually looked gorgeous when he transformed into a woman form. He had stripped off the bandana around his forehead and tied his hair into a ponytail.

"Stared at me like that and I'll kill you!!" Gojyo roared when he realized his companions stared at him with their jaw dropped. Sanzo turned away with a blush and Goku laughed heartily at Gojyo's face. Hakkai on the other hand apologized for staring. Gojyo stepped toward his bed and before he could even continue walking, he stumbled to the floor; face kissing the hard wooden planks and he laid there like a fallen monument.

"Gojyo?" Hakkai called out with concern. He bent down on his knees, both hands on his laps and stared down to Gojyo.

Gojyo lifted his face. Blood trickled down his nostrils and he hastily wiped it away. He quickly got up on his feet and wiped the dust on his outfit. He actually had tripped over his own foot when he accidentally stepped on his skirt. A furious color red flushed on his face. He continued walking to the bed but the skirt limited his gait. He halted and lifted his skirt to his thighs level and marched to his destination.

Goku laughed heartily at Gojyo being humiliated by his own act. He gripped on his stomach and guffawed continuously.

Gojyo's head blew off hot steams. He grabbed a pillow and threw it to Goku. The pillow hit Goku right on his face. Gojyo shouted happily. "Hurrah!!! Bull's eye!"

"Teme!!!" Goku howled angrily. He darted toward Gojyo and scrammed onto that kappa's body. He dragged him down to the bed and strangled him furiously. They fought teeth and nails and bobbed each other's head in a violent manner. Both of the hanyou and the itan tugged at each other's hair and then yelled with agony.

"Ma…ma…minna-san, now you're fighting like a girl" Hakkai tried to be the peacemaker.

Gojyo and Goku stammered at hearing Hakkai's remark. They looked at each other and disengaged abruptly. They WERE fighting like girls. "Ch!" they grumbled at the same time and Goku ended the fight by sticking out his tongue to the kappa at his back before retreating to his bed.

"Baka…" Sanzo shrugged. That kappa will always be a kappa and that saru will always be a saru; make them women or not. He turned to the side table and studied the gown lain upon it.

"Sanzo?" Hakkai called out and he hurriedly grabbed the gown and went into the bathroom before the man could actually say something. No way he's going to let Hakkai lend him a hand. He would rather do it by himself.

Hakkai smiled. Now, he's the only one left. He's still in his manly form. Dealing with the rest of his companions was such a hard work and now it's time for him to work on himself. He headed for his bed and carefully picked the clothes chosen by Aiko for him. A turquoise cardigan and khaki pants. Now he missed something… Hakkai looked around and realized that he didn't have the wig with him. Not like Gojyo, Hakkai had to wear a wig to lengthen his hair. Sanzo on the other hand, just need an extension of his blond hair. Earlier, the monk had already refused of having a hair longer than shoulder length.

Hakkai scratched his head. 'Now…where did I misplaced it?'. He tried to recover the lost memory and finally succeeded. Hakkai went out of the room and headed for Aiko's room. He was so sure that he had left the wig somewhere in Aiko's room when they were busy unpacking the things they bought from the mall.

"Aiko?" Hakkai pushed the slightly ajar door softly and stepped inside the room. Less that he expected of what he might found as soon as he entered the girl's room. The emerald-eyed man gaped at the figure stood before him, in the middle of the room. He could feel his blood from all over his body rushed to his head. He blushed severely.

***************************

"Go-go…gomen!" Hakkai apologized as he gawped at the figure of Aiko, half naked. The girl wore only a short and a bra. Even Aiko stood dumbfounded, with face as red as a ripe apple. She looked around and spotted her blanket. Aiko hastily grabbed the blanket and muffled herself in it.

"Gomen… I did not do it on purpose" he stuttered as he advanced to the girl with a pleading look. "I…I was…I was looking for my wig and the…the door was slightly opened, so… I thought…unh! Gomen nasai!" Hakkai kept apologizing and at the same time approaching Aiko as the latter kept backing away.

Finally Aiko ended to a dead end when her back encountered with the bed pole. She stammered. Hakkai was getting nearer and nearer to her and the blanket is slipping down because she didn't hold it right.

"Gomen…" Hakkai still wasn't aware of what he's doing. It seemed like he was completely blanked off.

"Unh…unh…" Aiko became more nervous. She had to do something before the blanket slipped down from her grip. "Hakkai!!!" she called out loud.

Her emerald-eyed lover halted at his pace and blinked with confusion.

"Yameru Hakkai! Please turn around!" she urged as she tightened her grip on the blanket that covered her half-naked body. 

Hakkai felt as if a lightning had struck him alive. It awakened him from his deepest slumber. He quickly bowed and turned the other way around. "Suman ne Aiko…" he whispered as he could hear the girl scampering into her outfit. "I forgot to knock…" the handsome youkai explained with a shaking voice.

"Hakkai…" suddenly the girl at his back called in a baffled tone. Hakkai peeked over his shoulder. Aiko was fully dressed in her cream-colored cheongsam; the one he had chosen for her, and now looked at him red flush on her delicate face. Hakkai turned and faced the sapphire-eyed girl. "Can you please help me?" she asked. Her voice trembled slightly.

"Nanda?" Hakkai studied Aiko's face. The girl still blushed furiously.

"Can you please pull the zip at my back?" Aiko turned around, her back facing Hakkai. She lifted her plait to her shoulder and revealed her bareback as the zip was not pulled up. Hakkai walked toward Aiko and carefully pulled the zip up to the neck. He fastened her collar and brushed the locks of raven black were plastered to her slender neck.

"Sankyu…" Aiko greeted. But the man at her back gave no respond. "Hakkai?" she called out softly. Suddenly she felt a sudden weight on her shoulder. Aiko turned her face slightly and saw Hakkai sank his face to her neck. The man's arms crept around her waist and hugged her tightly. Aiko wrapped her arms on Hakkai's and smiled.

Hakkai nuzzled Aiko's neck and planted a soft peck on the girl's slender neck. "I loved you so much…" he whispered to his lover's ear. Aiko blushed. She turned around and looked at Hakkai straight on his face. She held out one hand and caressed the brunette's face lovingly. Her hand brushed every part of Hakkai's face and the wandering ceased when her fingers touched Hakkai's lips.

Aiko stammered. She quickly drew her hand away from Hakkai's face but the man grabbed it and kissed it tenderly. He kissed her palm and then her wrist and then he looked up to her with the fire of love flared upon his emerald eyes. Hakkai lifted up Aiko's chin and drew his face closer to hers.

Aiko waited anxiously. Her heart raced and her pulse jumped violently. She could feel her body trembled and sudden coldness struck her motionless. A half of her wanted to make that man stop but the other half wanted the man to carry on. She struggled deep within herself. But as Aiko looked up to Hakkai's face, met his eyes and realized how much love he had upon her, she willingly surrendered herself.

Hakkai's lips were barely an inch from Aiko's; the girl had closed her eyes when suddenly the wind blew in through the wide opened window. The window slammed harshly to the wall as the strong wind made its way into the room. The lovebirds disengaged abruptly, feared of any uninvited visitors from the room next door.

Both of the brunettes cast their gaze to the window and then looked at each other with faces as red as either Kazo or Gojyo's hair. They stared silently at each other and smiled. It's a pretending and a frustrated smile though. They knew they won't have this kind of chance again… it's not easy to be alone with the kappa, the saru and the monk around.

"Yare…yare… I've forgotten my wig" Hakkai said as he chuckled edgily. He looked around the room. "I think I misplaced it somewhere here" he said as he checked the things scattered on Aiko's bed.

Aiko shook her head. She quietly picked up the wig Hakkai's searching for. Hakkai sweat dropped. The wig was right before his eyes. Does he really didn't see it or he's just pretending not to see it?

The emerald-eyed youkai chuckled edgily as the girl cast a sweet cynical smile to his face. Aiko shook her head and suddenly held Hakkai's shoulders. Hakkai stammered. 'What is she going to do?' Hakkai was completely dumbfounded.

Aiko tiptoed and drew her face closer to Hakkai's. Hakkai's stared at her bewilderedly. 'Aiko dared to do it? I must be dreaming'. Suddenly Aiko reached a hand and played with Hakkai's hair that covered the half of his face.

"I'm going to miss you in this look…" she said softly as she descended back on her toes. Hakkai let out a deep breath and sighed with relief. 'And I thought she's going to do it' A slight curl appeared on his lips as he studied the sapphire-eyed girl's face. "Better I do this before I start seeing you as a girl or perhaps as an elder sister of mine" Aiko lifted her shoulders and her brows arched. She quickly landed a soft peck on Hakkai's cheek, making the latter blushed furiously.

Aiko smiled. She pushed Hakkai softly and coaxed him to the door. "You haven't even started to dress yourself…better get going now Hakkai" Aiko pulled his hand and shoved him out of the room. Hakkai stood dumbfounded before the door when Aiko cast her the last smile and closed the door softly on his face.

"Hakkai-san?" a man's voice shooed him off his hallucination. He turned over to his side and spotted Kei walking towards him. Hakkai quickly turned to the bold youkai and bowed respectively.

"Kei-san" Hakkai addressed him with respect. Never did he treat an elder person with disrespect before. It's just his nature of being polite. The older man came to his side and patted his shoulder.

"She can be quite amazing sometime and not to be said confusing at times" Kei smiled meaningfully as he uttered the words.  As soon as he said that, Kei just walked over Hakkai and left that man dumbfounded.

Hakkai shook his head in disbelief as he watched Kei walked away. "Yare yare desune…" he sighed with a smile on his face. 'better get back to my room and get dressed' with that he walked away and entered the room next to Aiko's.

End of flashback

*********************************

Hakkai smiled quietly. He looked at Gojyo who's coming out of the bathroom, a cigarette stuck out of his mouth. "Ma…ma Gojyo, it's impolite for a lady to smoke" he reminded.

Gojyo grunted. "I'm not a lady and I'm not going to be one…" he said coldly.

Hakkai sweat dropped. Suddenly their attention was drawn to the creaking door. The door was pushed open, revealing a figure stood before it. The ikkou jaw dropped at seeing the figure. Hakkai smiled proudly.

To be continue…
