Thank you for all your reviews!! ^____^ I'm very happy because recently there are more FF:U fics around! Although there isn't much, but it's a good thing!

I'm thinking that this story is a little PWP...and not to mention everyone is either a little OOC or VERY OOC... So, if this sucks, please do not blame me! ____

I decided to put in a little Makenshi/Kaze slash...since it's humor, I do not want to put in much romance stuff. For those that don't like slash or whatever, you can actually ignore it because it is very mild.

Without further ado, enjoy!

The Count sighed as he patted his stomach.

" Ah...I'm so full!" He smiled, " Makenshi is doing a good job even if he is destroying our headquarters."

Helba floated down using her umbrella and frowned slightly, " But Count- sama, Makenshi is doing a lot of damage! It will bring much trouble for us!"

The boy Count shrugged and continued viewing the screen, " We just have to hold on for 7 days, Helba. I will be so full!"

14 years, 7 days.

Second Day: He Plays.

" Ah yes...it's the second day already..." Madoushi muttered to himself as he stared at the sky.

The red Sorcerer had been 'fleeing' for the whole of yesterday ever since he sensed his brother's evil self taking over.

Madoushi had met this evil Makenshi before and certainly did not want to relive this experience. Unlike the usual Makenshi, the other self was arrogant, short-tempered, aggressive, reckless and VERY vengeful.

That was why Red Mist had fled. He was very sure that the other self of Makenshi would not let him go, even if he was his brother. The usual Makenshi might not blame his brother for all the rivalry thinking he had but the evil one might not feel the same way.

As the sun climbs slowly up the sky, Madoushi judged that it was time to move to the next place, incase his brother catch up with him. But as he stood up from the ground, the surroundings began to become foggy.

' Oh no.' Red Mist thought to himself. Immediately, he swung his sword behind him and blocked an attack from his brother.

Makenshi smirked at him.

" Hello, big brother."

Madoushi jumped back and removed his mask, breathing out red mist at the same time.

" My brother..." Madoushi said, " So you have awaken once again, Makenshi. Or should I say...Grey Cloud?"

Makenshi put his hand on his hips and smirked back, " Well, well, well Red Mist. You still remember me...I'm honored. The last time I saw you were 14 years ago, if I am not wrong. What happened to our world? I had awakened in an unknown world yesterday and was really confused." He then tapped his temper, " And you little brother refuses to tell me anything."

Madoushi's eyes widened, " You can communicate with your other self? But that is impossible!"

Makenshi or Grey Cloud slid his sword back on to his waist and crossed his arms, " Who says its not possible? I am able to have a civil conversation with your dearest brother a few days before I came out. Perhaps it's because he's been thinking too much, or perhaps he had decided to accept me...but what I am very sure is that your brother has many problems."

" So, what are you going to do now?" Madoushi asked, his sword posed in an attack position.

Grey Cloud shrugged, " Well, I'm going to help your cute little brother solve all his problems, starting with the most important one."

" Which is?" Madoushi prompted.

" Have you seen a guy in black?"

Madoushi stopped and raised a single red eyebrow, " Guy in black? Does the problem got anything to do with that guy in black?"

" Yep. Have you seen him? He had this gold colour gun thingy on his right arm, and one red gun too." Grey Cloud continued, listing down everything he remembered about the guy in black.

" And he wear this sun glasses thing which was broken on the right eye. Oh and he has an earring too. And he got markings-or is it patterns-on his face."

Madoushi relaxed slightly, " Guy in black, with a gold gun and a red gun and broken sun glasses and patterns on face? Hmmm...yep, I did remember one guy."

Makenshi blinked and leaned forward, " Really? Where did you see him?"

Madoushi crossed his arms, " Ah...that was yesterday. He was with a group of people and one yellow Chocobo. The people with him are two kids and a female adult. They were near the ocean when I found them."

Grey Cloud nodded and smirked, " Good. Now I need to get going. Ja ne, Niisan!"

" Wait," Madoushi said. Grey Cloud turned and looked at the red swordsman.

" What are you intending to do? And what is this problem my brother has?" Madoushi asked, his hands placed on his hips.

Grey Cloud raised an eyebrow, " It is none of you business, Niisan."

Madoushi snorted, " I, as you brother, have the right to know, Grey Cloud."

The white-no, grey-swordsman shrugged and began walking off, " White Cloud treated you as his brother, not me."

Madoushi sighed, " Just don't do anything stupid, Grey Cloud. White Cloud will be the one responsible when he returns."

Grey Cloud smirked, " That makes it more fun!"

With that, he slid on his mask and flew away.

Madoushi watched as his 'brother' disappeared from sight. Sighing again, he pushed his red hair back from his face and frowned.

" I have a bad feeling about this...no, wait, I have a bad feeling ever since that Grey Cloud comes out." Madoushi muttered to himself.

" No. I have to go after him."

--

" That Makenshi, what the hell is wrong with him?" Ai said, the scene of the ruined Ocean Base still fresh in her mind.

" He doesn't seemed to be his usual self," Yuu said thoughtfully, patting Chobi. Lisa nodded.

" Normally, he feels like...a small drizzle." Lisa said, " But the Makenshi we saw yesterday felt like a huge storm or a hurricane. He is completely different from usual."

" Perhaps what that Madoushi guy said was true." Ai said slowly.

" That Makenshi turned into his evil self?" Yuu asked, " Why does all this sound so familiar?"

Kaze, who had been silent the whole time, pulled out his red gun suddenly.

Ai, Yuu, Lisa and Chobi stopped immediately. Slowly, white fog began to appear.

" That guy..." Kaze muttered quietly.

A shadow was seen suddenly in the midst of the fog. The shadow began to get clearer and Yuu gasped.

" Makenshi!"

The white-I mean, grey swordsman floated elegantly down onto the ground and smirked.

" Greetings everyone. I am Grey Cloud." He greeted and bowed, making Ai think of the weird guy they met named Oscar.

Yuu's eyebrow went up, " Grey?"

Ai turned to look at Yuu, " When did he change his name? I thought he's name is White Cloud."

The evil Makenshi sighed and waved his hand slightly, " I am White Cloud's evil half, and therefore I have a different name."

" Where is the real Makenshi?" Lisa asked.

Grey Cloud smiled, " His somewhere in my head, yelling at me to let him out. But I won't go back until these seven days are over."

He gave them a wink and said, " It's not very often for me, you know. I have to wait fourteen years before I can come out." He sighed and continued, " And now I am out, and my dearest other self have many problems to handle, therefore I am helping him to solve some~!"

Lisa blinked, " Problems?"

Grey Cloud nodded gravely, " And I'm here to solve the first problem."

His sword suddenly flew from his waist and point straight at Kaze's face.

" You." Grey Cloud said, smiling darkly.

--

" Count-sama, we mustn't let them fight." Oscar said, somewhat frantically. The Count looked amusedly at Oscar before sighing slightly.

" Very well, Oscar. Helba, go stop them. If they stopped fighting, get Makenshi back. " He said, smirking slightly when he saw the plant lady quiver.

'Ahhh...I will be very full by the end of the day...'The boy tyrant thought blissfully.

--

The two sworn enemies stood motionless opposite each other. Yuu let out a silent breath as he felt the tension from the two.

Then, they moved.

Grey Cloud flipped swiftly to his left and swung his sword. Kaze's right arm came up immediately and blocked the attack. But the sword kept on swishing and slashing at Kaze and he was hardly able to block the attacks.

Ai was jumping with anxiety as she watched the fight between Kaze and Grey Cloud. She turned to Yuu and said, " Aren't we suppose to stop them?"

Yuu nodded, " I know, but, HOW?"

Ai blinked and frowned, " Judging from the fact that none of us knew any offensive attack," She laughed dryly and continued, " I think there is nothing we can do."

Just then, a figure appeared in front of them and Ai jumped, " You!"

Madoushi aka Red Mist turned and blinked, " Oh, did I landed on you?"

Ai shook her head, " No, but you shocked me."

Madoushi nodded slightly, dipped his head and said, " My apologies." With that, he turned back to the two who were still fighting and walked towards them.

Yuu had to hold Ai back as she angrily shouted at Madoushi. Lisa shook her head slightly but looked worriedly at the fighting scene.

" What is he planning to do?" She muttered.

--

The sword swished rapidly around Grey Cloud as he blocked the bullets from Kaze. As soon as the attack stopped, Grey Cloud grabbed his sword and fly forward, slashing at Kaze with an amazing speed. Kaze narrowed his eyes and jumped away at the last moment while Grey Cloud slashed down onto the ground.

As the dust cleared away, Grey Cloud stood up, slid his sword back into the sheath and clapped.

" It seemed you are rather strong, Kaze-san." Grey Cloud said as Kaze stared at him, " But I am pretty sure that you have not fight to your full potential..." His emerald eyes moved and glanced at the hidden right hand of Kaze.

He smirked.

" Why don't you use your Demon Gun?"

Kaze remained silent, although his right hand gave a small jerk. Grey Cloud's smirk went wider.

At that moment, Madoushi stepped in between them, " Enough, Grey Cloud. You have your fun for today. Leave the poor fellow alone."

There was a tense moment as Grey Cloud stared from his brother to Kaze. Then, shrugging, he turned around and said, " Well, if your Demon Gun isn't going to work today, then I might as well be on my way."

" Huh?" Ai muttered. Yuu shushed his sister and glanced at Kaze. The dark haired man stood silently for a few seconds before his left hand shot up and his red gun gleamed.

But Grey Cloud was in front of him suddenly, his sword drawn and pointed at Kaze's throat. Kaze's eyes widened slightly while Grey Cloud smiled at him. He leaned closer and whispered into Kaze's ear.

" You are nothing without your Demon Gun, Kaze-san. Your normal gun and its bullets can never touch me. So stop wasting your energy, Or else I can't guarantee your safety..."

Grey Cloud's right hand moved over to Kaze's chest and gave Kaze a shove.

Kaze stumbled while Grey Cloud withdrew his sword and began walking away.

" I will come for you when your gun is ready, Kaze-san. Until then, please do not get yourself killed~~!" Grey Cloud laughed as he disappeared into the mist along.

Sighing, Madoushi slid his mask on and said, " I have to go after him. He might get another person killed at this rate...and it's still the second day."

He gave the group a small apologetic nod before jumping off into the night sky. --

As Grey Cloud appeared on another place, he noticed that strange plants surrounded him.

Too many strange plants.

Frowning, Grey Cloud closed his eyes, scanned through his other self's memories and smirked slightly when he got his answer.

" Helba~, I know you are here~~ Come out, come out wherever you are~~" Grey Cloud sang.

When he got no answer except for the rustling of the leaves, he scowled and got his sword out. Suddenly, Grey Cloud sensed movement to his left and he whipped around.

It was Helba's pet flower, gnawing its many teeth at Grey Cloud. Glowering, Grey Cloud flipped his sword to his left hand and moved his right hand to one of his bottles of mist.

Without warning, the flower attacked and Grey Cloud slashed his sword immediately, cutting through the flower's stem. The head dropped onto the ground and, to Grey Cloud's disgust, its teeth was still gnawing. He gave the head a kick and stabbed the head again.

Turning from the bleeding flower head, Grey Cloud glared at his surrounding and shouted again, " HELBA! IF YOU DO NOT COME OUT AT ONCE, I WILL HUNT YOU AND YOUR PLANTS DOWN PERSONALLY!"

After he finished, he heard a small squeal of fright and Helba appeared.

" AHHHH!!!! My beloved darling!!!!" Helba cried, running to the damaged flower head. Grey Cloud, still with the sword in his hand, glared at the flower head, " It tried to eat me, so I kill it."

Helba glared back at Grey Cloud, " How can you kill such a harmless thing! You are heartless!"

" And you are hopeless," Grey Cloud snapped, " You call this creature eating thing harmless?! Are you crazy or what?"

Helba ignored him and sniffed. Grey Cloud rolled his eyes and said, " So where is this place?"

" THIS IS MY GARDEN!" Helba yelled somewhat indignantly. Grey Cloud raised his eyebrow, " You call this huge place filled with strange and dangerous plants a garden? You should change the name to ' Hazardous Park'."

Helba sniffed again, " You're so mean!"

" What?! I just commented on your crazy place nicely and you call me mean?!" Grey Cloud glowered at Helba, " I'm going to make you pay back, Helba!"

He grabbed two of his bottles and threw them up into the air. Slashing the bottles, he yelled, " Double Symphony!!"

Two dragons flew out from the shimmering blue mist and began destroying everything. Helba screamed, " MAKENSHI, STOP IT!!!!! Oh, my beloved plants!!!!"

But the merciless Grey Cloud ignored the plant lady and laughed as his dragons shot beams at onto the 'Hazardous Park' and the dark night was lit by the firelight of the burning plants.

--

Up in the sky, the boy tyrant groaned as he grabbed his belly.

" Ahhhhh...I'm so full that I can explode! Oscar, what is going on down there?!"

Oscar moved frantically towards the Count and said, " Count-sama, Makenshi is destroying Helba's garden!"

" What?" The Count groaned, " The plants there have the ability to think! I will be too full!"

" But Count-sama, we can't stop Makenshi!" Oscar said. Growling, the Count said, " Oscar, sent someone to get him here!"

" Yes, Count-sama!" Oscar replied and hurried off.

Sighing, the Count frowned slightly in doubt, " Perhaps letting Makenshi run about isn't very good after all...aw man, I'm soooooo full!!!!"
