The Eternal Saga Of Lost Spirits

Chapter Two: The Ins and The Outs

"What did I do to deserve this.", sighed Keitaro, flopping down onto his futon. "Why not someone else?"

/Because, your body was the most durable I found./

"I just cant cope!", Keitaro thought to Ninamori. "This is just too much. I just had a shot of happiness and then you come along!"

/Sorry just doesn't cut it, Keitaro. I know I have ruined your life, and I wish I could make it up to you, but... It's not an easy matter of separating the two of us./

"I figured as much.", Keitaro sighed. "Its okay, Ninamori. I will learn to cope, if this is the worst thing that ever happens to me then so be it. It gives me a chance to correct the problems I had when I was a guy."

/Not really, your still the same Keitaro, mentally. I might as well tell you everything I know./

"What do you know, Ninamori?", asked Keitaro.

/Lots of things, like what the girls think of you, who your promise girl is/

"I don't think I even want to know.", said Keitaro. "It doesn't matter, anyway."

/Of course it does, you know who it is too. But all the girls here love you, more so than words can fully express. But yet, none of them are truly capable of telling you the honest truth. Not a single one./

"I love them all, each one of them.", said Keitaro. "If I was to end up with any of them I would be happier than I have ever been in my entire life. Any one of those girls would complete me."

/I know that, Keitaro. And we both know they will try to be there for you as best as they can. Speaking of which, heads up, here comes Naru./

Naru knocked on Keitaro's door. "Keitaro, you in there?", asked Naru. "May I come in?"

"Sure.", replied Keitaro. "Come in and make your self comfortable."

Naru walked in with a bag over her shoulder. "Got some clothes here for you.", Naru said, flopping the bag down in front of Keitaro. "Something here should be your size."

Keitaro stared at the bag and reached into the bag, pulling out a pair of black panties. Upon observing them, Keitaro turned bright red and dropped em. "I believe those belong to Kitsune." Rummaging again in the sack, Keitaro pulled out a bra and then asked, "Uh Naru. Could you kinda...help...me...put...this...on?"

"Baka.", muttered Naru as she gave Keitaro a left hook that sent him flying.

/Nice one. You should know better by now./

"Oh shut up.", thought Keitaro. "But please help me pick out the right things to wear. I have never dealt with female clothes before."

/I can do that, after all I have a say in what looks good on us, this is half my body./

So upon his return, with Ninamori's help, Keitaro picked out the clothes he thought looked the best on him, A blue shirt with matching skirt, which also matched Keitaro's new hair color.

"Ninamori, you sure have a thing for blue.", though Keitaro.

/Yes, is that a problem? Cause if it is we can go to good old pink./

"No no.", thought Keitaro. "This is fine, I like blue too."

So Keitaro ventured downstairs to see what the girls thought.

"So what do you girls think of the outfit?", asked Keitaro. "I let Ninamori do most of the work this time."

"It certainly matches your hair, Keitaro.", said Kitsune. "But you could stand to make yourself known more."

"It suits you, Urashima.", said Motoko. "Ignore Kitsune, It looks fine as is."

"Looking good, Kei-chan!", said Mitsumi. "But, uh. Why blue?"

"Because blue is cute!", answered Shinobu. "I think you look great sempai."

"Bah on blue.", said Su. "Cause you cant eat it!"

"Glad my closet could be of service.", Naru said, with a bow.

"Someone want to introduce me to your friend?", asked Haruka, walking and flicking at her lighter. "Sorry, I don't think we have met, Im Haruka."

"We better tell her.", said Keitaro. "Someone else do it, I don't want too."

"That is Keitaro, Haruka.", said Motoko. "He been possessed."

"Its not like you to get tipsy, Motoko.", laughed Haruka. "You expect me to believe that?"

"She isnt drunk nor lying.", said Su in her serious voice. "That is indeed Keitaro. I have the D.N.A tests to prove it."

Haruka stared at Keitaro for a minute and then had an idea. "What is my name?", asked Haruka.

"Aunt Haruka?", replied Keitaro. "Uh oh."

/Your stupid sometimes, aren't you?/

Haruka smacked Keitaro in the head. "Yep, thats Keitaro alright.", said Haruka, flicking her lighter. "Don't even try to explain Keitaro to me right now cause I do not want to know."

"So how do you suppose baths are going to work?", asked Mitsumi, smiling. "I mean technically, Kei-kun is a girl now..."

"Um...", said Shinobu. "She has a point."

"Shinbou!", said Motoko. "I cant believe you would even consider..."

"It's a good argument, Motoko.", Kitsune remarked. "Besides, with this body, its not like he will seen anything he basically hasn't already seen."

"Im not getting into this one.", sighed Naru. "This is too much, I need a drink. Kitsune?"

"I got you covered Naru.", said Kitsune, tossing Naru a beer. "One for Naru, two for me!"

"Its really not a problem you guys, really.", Keitaro said, scratching his head. "Im fine really. I can just use my bath."

"Baths with Keitaro would be fun!", shouted Su, hopping up on Keitaro's shoulders. "Ain't dat right, Keitaro? Lots of fun!"

/Don't look at me. I only know what they are thinking, I cant change what they are thinking./

"Some help you are.", thought Keitaro. "What should I do?"

/Whatever you think is best. But what your thinking is not the greatest idea.../

"I just need some time to clear my head, thats all.", thought Keitaro. "I have a lot on my plate right now."

/Suit yourself. But you have to get out unnoticed. Good luck, given your record./

After dinner, Keitaro went to his room to put pen to paper. And later that night, content with his plan, snuck downstairs. Carefully placing the note on the table next to the phone, Keitaro was oblivious to one of his house mates watching him.

"So your going to leave?", asked a voice.

/Busted. But wait...Thats interesting./

Keitaro spun around to see a figure standing there before him. "Yes, I just need to clear my head. Thats all. I'll be back when I have this sorted out.", whispered Keitaro.

"Take me with you.", whispered the figure.

"I don't think that is a good idea.", Keitaro sighed. "I need some time alone."

"But you have to take me!", whispered the figure, running up and gabbing Keitaro by the waist. "I love you! You just cant leave me here! You just cant! I want to help you through this!"

/Such devotion. Its no surprise, really. Do it, Keitaro. You just cant ignore her love for you./

"Okay then.", Keitaro said, taking the girls hand. "Lets go." The pair set out down the stairs of Hinata sou and off into the darkness.
