Chapter Six: Shizuka Finds a Cure.
***************************
It was about eight in the morning when Shizuka yawned, her canine teeth flashing for a second, before she closed her mouth, stretching. She trotted into her Kaiba's room, looking around.
'I wonder if onii-chan and Kaiba are awake yet.' She thought. She hopped up on the bed, expecting to see Kaiba, but was startled to find a sleeping Katsu in her dress from last night, sleeping soundly. Shizuka hopped over her, looking for any signs of Kaiba. Nothing.
She jumped down from the bed, bounding into the kitchen. No Kaiba. Shizuka searched every room, but still found no sign of the CEO. Shizuka ran over to the last room, pushing her face against the tiny crack between the door and the doorframe, pushing it open enough for her tiny figure. She quietly walked in, and looked around.
"Morning, Shisa." Kaiba said from behind, on Katsu's couch. He had apparently given up his bed for Katsu last night.
Shizuka yelped slightly, turning around, her fur bristled. He chuckled dryly, patting her head. "Miss Katsu?" He asked. Shizuka only stared up at him with curios eyes. Kaiba yawned, stretching his arms above his head. "I wonder how Katsu's doing…" He murmured. He stood, and walked from the room. Shizuka padded after him, following him like a puppy. He looked back. "What?" Shizuka only gave a faint cry, as her vocal cords weren't meant to form speech. He sighed. "I'll make some coffee, then get you something to eat." He said, walking into the kitchen.
Shizuka followed after him with a playful yip.
Katsu groaned, lifting her head from the soft pillows. Her hair was no longer neat and curled, but rather back how it always was. She clenched the soft sheets beneath her.
'Wait…soft sheets?' She looked down, blinking. She looked around, and found herself to be lying on Kaiba's bed. But he was nowhere in sight. 'How did I get here…?' She wondered, sitting up. She blinked when she realized she was still wearing the dress from the night before.
"Finally I can take this off…" She murmured. She pulled of the earrings, necklace, placing them down on a nearby nightstand, before standing to undo the zipper at the back, sliding the dress off. She looked at herself in the mirror.
"I can't wait to get my old body back…" She murmured, sliding off the panties, her bra not there because she hadn't been allowed to wear it the night before. Yawning, Katsu pulled a pair of black silk boxers from Kaiba's bag. "I'm sure he won't miss these." She smirked, pulling them on. She stretched her arms high above her head, yawning once more. "Ahh!" She sighed contently, happy to have some time to herself where she didn't have to dress as a girl for people. She liked having time to be herself. As Jounouchi Katsuya. Not Katsu Jounouchi.
Just then, Kaiba walked in.
"Hey, you awake ye-" Kaiba abruptly stopped in his tracks, eyes going wide. Katsu looked over, blinking. That gave Kaiba a VERY good very of two well-formed things on her chest.
"Yeah, what?" She asked, oblivious to what she was doing to him at the moment. Kaiba went a furious red, turning around lighting-quick.
"P-put a shirt on!!" He blushed. Katsu blinked, looking down, before going beet red.
"Eep!" She cried, grabbing bed sheet and covering her chest. 'That had to be the most embarrassing thing ever!!!' She thought embarrassedly. "I-I'm covered." She stuttered. Kaiba turned around, but wouldn't meet her gaze.
"Ah…um…I came to see if you were awake," He said awkwardly. Katsu nodded, not meeting his gaze either.
"I am…" She looked up timidly. "Thanks for carrying me home last night…and letting me have your bed…" She said. Kaiba nodded.
"Sure…" There was an awkward silence. "I should have knocked first, sorry." Kaiba broke it. Katsu blinked. 'He's—apologizing??' She thought in awe, staring at him with a stunned look.
"That's okay…" She murmured with a nod. "I should have put a shirt on earlier…" Shizuka poked her head inside the door, blinking at the two with a small knowing smirk. Well, as close as a fox could get to a smirk.
"Did you enjoy yourself last night…?" Kaiba asked. Katsu nodded.
"Yeah, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." She admitted. Kaiba gave a faint smirk.
"I know you had a good time." Katsu frowned, their usual atmosphere of rivalry returning.
"Oh? How would you know that??" She asked. Kaiba smirked.
"Not many people would sigh contently against someone's chest, smiling if they weren't enjoying themselves." He said. Katsu blushed, glaring at him.
"I was not!!" She yelled embarrassedly. Kaiba chuckled.
"Whatever you say," He shrugged; making it obvious he didn't believe her. Katsu clenched her fist tightly.
"I was jus' actin!" She snapped. "How would they react if ya got yer mug slapped by the best-lookin' girl there, huh?" She blinked, realizing that had been a double-insult—one, to herself, and the other, to Kaiba.
"They probably wouldn't think much of it." Kaiba smirked. "And I never thought you seemed so sure of yourself as being a girl, either." Katsu growled, taking a swing at him with her fist. Of course her easily dodged, but since the sheets had snaked their way around her legs, she stumbled, falling right into him, sending them both to the ground.
Katsu blinked as she opened her eyes. The realization of being flush against Kaiba, on top of him, settled in. She stared down at him with a stunned expression, mouth slightly ajar. Kaiba's reaction was similar when he realized her face was just centimetres from his. Shock filled his facial expression.
Shizuka's eyes were wide as she watched this all from the doorway. She quickly dashed from the room, sensing the need for privacy for the two.
"I…" Katsu's words died in her mouth. Kaiba swallowed, closing his eyes.
"Please get off of me." He said in a voice that was just barely controlled. Blushing, Katsu sat up to straddle his waist as her hands came to rest on his chest.
"I-I…" She blushed, not daring to face him. She slid off, clutching the blankets closer to herself. "I-I didn't mean to-" She was silence when Kaiba tilted her chin to face him with his hand. Her breath caught in her throat. 'Oh gods…he-he…what is he doing…? He-he can't…he couldn't…like me…could he…?' Kaiba frowned.
"We agree to tell no one about this." He said firmly. Katsu nodded numbly, eyes still wide. He smirked. "Don't look so stunned. It doesn't suit your normally angry face." Katsu's stunned look changed to a glare.
"Baka!!" She made another lunge for him, but he moved out of the way with a chuckle.
"If you wanted me that badly, you should have said something earlier." He teased. Katsu flushed angrily, throwing one of her shoes from the night before at him.
"Bastard!!" She yelled after him as he left the room, having dodged both shoes when thrown. She gave a pout/frown. "That baka… How does he always find a way to insult me like that??" She muttered, standing up and walking back to her room, hoping to find the CEO and kick his ass.
But all that was left was a note on the couch. "'Went to a business meeting. Don't kill yourself by lunging off the balcony—Kaiba.'" She read aloud. Katsu growled, gritting her teeth as she threw it on the floor, stomping on it. "Baka! Baka! Baka!!" She yelled at the piece of paper.
Sighing, she dropped the sheet, and grabbed a towel from her bag, draping it around her neck to it just barely covered her breasts. "Hey, Shizuka." She called. Shizuka's head popped out from the kitchen. "You take a bath first, okay? I'll make breakfast for you." She said. Shizuka frowned, as if to say,
'How can I do that like this??' Katsu laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll get it ready. It's just that, if he comes back and you're in the bath, he might get suspicious, ya know?" Shizuka nodded, following her into the bathroom. Katsu turned the knobs; setting the water so it was nice and warm.
She put in bubble bath, and then turned off the water at a low level, so it wouldn't be too hard for Shizuka to get clean. "I'll be back in a bit, okay?" She said. "There's a towel on the rack over there on the wall for when you're done." And with that, she left the bathroom, leaving Shizuka with the tub.
"Now, moeteiru kokoro ga, honoo o agete…" Katsu murmured, singing softly as she began mixing up pancake batter. "Arashi mo koeteku kudou…fly, kono te ni, todoku yo, kiseki mo ima wa…" She flipped the pancakes, pulling out a plate to put them on when she finished.
"They smell wonderful Onichan!" Shizuka said, walking over to lean over to plate of pancakes. Katsu smirked.
"Why thank y-iii!!" Katsu jumped, falling back on her butt, teeth clenched together in surprise at her sister's human form. Thankfully, she had used the towel Katsu had said had been put out for her.
She lifted a trembling finger to point at her shakily. "Y-y-yuh-yuh-y-you-you-" She stuttered. Shizuka smiled excitedly.
"I found a way for you to change back, Onichan!!" She said happily. Katsu gaped. Like a fish, her mouth just opened and closed. Shizuka laughed, grabbing her hand and pulling her from the floor. "C'mon! I'll show you!!" She pulled her into the bathroom. Katsu just blinked.
"What's so special about the bathroom? It looks the same as before." She commented. Shizuka grabbed a nearby bucket, dipping it in the warm, soapy water. Katsu was about to asked what she was doing, when Shizuka splashed the water all over her.
"Ack!!" He cried. "What was that for?!" Jou snapped. He suddenly froze in mid-demand, a hand rising to his throat. His voice…it was lower. He looked down. A flat chest, muscled abdomen, full legs, and he was taller. He ran over to the mirror, looking in. His hair was blonde again! "I-I'm…" He trailed off in disbelief.
Seconds later, the whole hotel was 'graced' with a loud scream of happiness. It sounded vaguely sounded like, "I'M CURED!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Shizuka sweatdropped, holding her towel on with one hand, while holding his shoulder with the other.
"Onichan!!" She said, slightly embarrassed at her brother's outbreak. "You can be happy, but be quiet!" She said. Jou just laughed.
"Oh MAN have I wanted this!" He said, looking himself over. "100% male!" He cheered. Shizuka nodded.
"Hai. I guess water changes us back!" Jou blinked.
"Whoa." He said. "But…what if Kaiba comes back?! What am I going to do?!" He cried frantically. "If he sees me in his room, he'll know for sure! Then it'll be in the media, on TV, he'll blackmail me forever, he'll tell everybody!! What am I going to do????" He cried, grabbing her by her shoulders. Shizuka sweatdropped.
"Onichan, relax!" She said. "I'm sure you'll think of something!" Jou groaned, sinking to the floor.
"I'm doomed…" He muttered. "But at least I'm a guy…" He sighed. A sudden thought occurred to him. "Wait…" He frowned. "If water changes us back, why didn't cold water work? I mean, I got completely soaked yesterday, and I even had a cold shower." He said. Shizuka thought for a moment, before snapping her fingers.
"Onichan, wait here! I'll be right back!" She said, dashing from the room. Jou blinked, watching her leave. 'What the…?' A second later, a bucket of cold water was dumped all over him.
"ACK!! Sis, what was that for?!" Katsu cried, standing on her feet, teeth chattering. She blinked. "Nani…?" She looked down, to find a well-formed body, full chest, and slender legs. "Ah!!" She cried, jumping back slightly. "How-how?? I-I was cured-!!" She protested, disappointment and fear appearing in her voice. Shizuka snapped her fingers.
"That explains it!" Katsu just blinked. "Why you couldn't change back before! Cold water turns you into a girl, and hot water changes you back into a guy!" She said. Katsu blinked again.
"Cold and hot water, huh…?" She murmured. Katsu poured the bathtub water over herself again. "I'm a guy…" Jou flopped down on the floor, where quite a bit of water had begun to collect. "This is too much…" He mumbled, hiding his face in his arms. Shizuka hugged him from behind.
"Oh Onichan…" She sighed sympathetically. That's when they heard the door's lock click open. Jou and Shizuka gasped. They couldn't be caught!! Thinking quickly, Shizuka filled the bucket with water. Footsteps grew nearer, heading straight towards them. Jou gulped.
"H-hurry Shizuka!!" He hissed. Shizuka threw the cold water over them just as Kaiba opened the door, gun in hand. "YIII!!" Katsu cried, shielding herself with her arms, clenching her eyes shut. "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm-" She blinked when nothing happened.
"K-Katsu???" Kaiba stuttered. Katsu looked up, blinking. Kaiba's gun arm dropped to his side as he gave a sigh of relief. "Gods, with all that racket you sounded like Jou…" He growled. Katsu just swallowed. "What happened to the bathroom, pray tell?" He raised an eyebrow, noting the water all over the floor and sink.
"Um…" Shizuka yelped, throwing the bucket off of herself as she proceeded to shake the water from her fur "I was giving Shizu-I mean Shisa a bath…" She said. Kaiba frowned.
"Well, now you get to clean up after yourselves." He said. "I don't want to have to pay anymore for this room than I already have." And with that, he turned and left. Katsu shuddered, falling back against the floor with a relieved sigh.
"Oh my GOD we were lucky…" She murmured, closing her eyes. "I can't WAIT to go home later tonight…" She looked over to Shizuka, who was lying on her stomach, panting. She gave a tired nod in agreement.
*******************
"Home sweet home!" Katsu cheered as she stepped off the plane. The only problem was, it was well past four AM in Domino City. She looked back at Kaiba, who seemed just as excited to be home as he was to have gone to China.
'Yep. Mr. Cheerful himself.' She thought with a frown. She walked back, biting her lap as she gave small bow. "Thanks…for taking me to China with you." She murmured. Kaiba nodded ever so slightly, his gaze as cold as it always was.
"Welcome." He said gruffly. Katsu yawned, rubbing her eyes. Kaiba couldn't help the smirk that appeared on his face. "Don't forget you have school in three hours." He said. Katsu just groaned, holding her head.
"Thanks for reminding me…" She opened her bag for Shizuka to jump out. "I'll walk home." She waved one hand. "Ja." Kaiba watched her in silence, before following her. Katsu stopped, looking back. "What?" She sighed. He chuckled.
"It's pretty late. I don't think my chauffer would mind, since he's driving me home." Katsu blinked.
"Who are you and what have you done with that primly-puss Kaiba?" She asked, leaning to inspect his face in the dim light. He frowned.
"Want a ride or not?" He asked, his voice showing he wasn't in the mood for any of her 'games'. Katsu sighed.
"Sure." She nodded, following him as he turned towards his limo, only
about nine meters away. They walked in silence, until they reached the limo.
Kaiba opened the door, and Katsu made move to step in, when he pushed ahead and
stepped in. Katsu huffed. "Hey!!"
"I was only being nice that time. To me, you're nothing more than an annoyance." He said. Katsu froze, a hurt expression crossing her face. Katsu's gaze was quickly covered up by a glare. Shizuka frowned at Kaiba.
"Yeah, well same here, you baka!" She yelled, slamming the door as she stormed away from the limo. "I hate him!!" She growled through clenched teeth. Shizuka followed after her closely, sending one more frown in the direction of the rapidly disappearing limo.

And that's chapter six! The Kaiba seeing Katsu without a top was from a picture I drew a month before I drew this story, except it was a Kudama, from Princess Mononoke looking up at her. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and reviewed!
STORY IDEAS ARE CRITICAL! I NEED MORE, KUDASAI!
It gets kinda hard to keep coming up with these, so any ideas are openly welcomed! Anything! Even a hint of what should happen! I'm desperate!
