A/N: Hope my style of writing in LP doesn't change that much since this is an OLD fic… with my old writing mostly in the other chapters… I hope it's still readable. I had fun updating though… doesn't use all my head… Shakespeare's got himself in my head today… ahaha… blame E.Lit! Oh yeah, you may think I'm in my writing frenzy but I'm not, sadly. Anyways… I updated this right after Voice! I must be crazy…
Disclaimer: SDK is not mine, bebeh!

Chapter 6.5 – Metamorphosis… again?
-
"What the hell are you doing with those leaves? You look ancient…" Kyo couldn't believe at what he's staring at. Yuya was covering herself with LOTS of leaves…
"It's all because of you…" Yuya blushed when one by one, the leaves started falling.
Kyo played around with his hair and tsk-ed. "Alright, let's start stealing the kimono…" he then started leaving the place but Yuya stopped him FAST.
"Oh no, you don't!" Yuya pulled his wrist. "I don't' want to do that to Akari-san! I mean… what will he wear! What about her breasts?"
Kyo glanced at her and barked a laugh. "Breasts? Look, he doesn't have them… not even one. The bulgy things you see are buns."
Yuya was shocked.
"C'mon, let's get that clothing before you freeze."
…
Kyo and Yuya approached the camp although Yuya stayed FAR behind. They could see that the men had been in a fight again since… one of them is nearly dead. Kyo rolled his eyes and approached the men who were still awake. Oh yeah, Akari's asleep.
Kyo kicked Bon who was covered in bandages. This action awakened the nearly asleep Akira and the Hotaru who fainted.
"Hey, wake up."
Bon got up and tried to stretch but in the end, he was answered with a sprained back. Akira yawned (A/N: I'm yawning too…) but he controlled his mouth to avoid Kyo's glare. Hotaru tossed and turned before he jumped awake and on his feet. "What is it?"
Kyo took out Yuya's shredded kimono. "Get me… Akari's kimono."
Bon's eye widened. Akira was surprised. Hotaru was… unaffected. "What have you done with her!" Akira whispered.
"I accidentally slashed her kimono."
"AND?"
"Shut up and do it before Akari wakes up."
Akira nodded and gulped. Bon shook his head. Hotaru was forced to nod by Akira. "Hotaru, since Akari trusts you the most… get her kimono…"
"How?"
"Just strip her…" Akira said slowly.
"He'll die…" Bon butted.
"Oh, just take it as a favor for Kyo…"
A Muramasa answered that. It was ready to slice Akira into strips of fried cuttlefish… or just fish. Akira shook his head. "Um, a favor for Yuya-san…" he corrected.
"Just… ready with a hole or something…" Bon said. "It could be very bloody… knowing how Akari is when he's awake or asleep…"
Hotaru just blinked and readied himself with his katana. He marched towards Akari's immobile body. He prayed silently that she was having a nice dream of making love with a man so it wouldn't be weird to have his clothes off of him…
He silently crept next to the sleeping shaman's pallet. He looked at his expression. Ah, a face of a devil scheming 'what-to-do-next-with-Akira-the-baby'…isn't that charming? Hotaru slowly relieved him off the pallet. He then slowly undid the ties of Akari's obi. It was amazingly tight! He struggled with it.
"Oy, cut it!" Akira suggested. Kyo hit his head. "What's wrong?"
Kyo hissed at him. "That woman needs it uncut!"
"Okay… force it loose! It's either NOW or NEVER!" Akira whispered. Hotaru shrugged, indicating he's confused. "Damn it!"
Akira softly marched towards Hotaru and Akari. He slowly sat himself down and pushed Hotaru away. "Let me do it!"
Akira then managed himself to untie the tight knot. He slowly unfolded the obi from Akari's heavy body. After that was done, he relieved him off of his kimono. He grimaced seeing the black undergarment he was using… to secure his 'breasts' in place. He flashed a thumbs-up at the others. He passed the kimono to Hotaru who quickly dashed to Kyo.
Akira sighed with relief. "I'm safe…"
"AKIRA! HURRY! THE DEVIL'S—" Bon yelled out before…
"My darling Kyo… kiss me…" Akari's arms reached out to engulf Akira's being in a tight embrace of death. Akari then leaned over to…
Akira's face paled just right before… "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Akari landed the death-kiss on him… and Akira's life quickly ended, period.
…
"Wow! This is nice! It's far more comfortable then I expected it to be!" Yuya danced around in her 'new borrowed robes'… he quickly turned to Kyo to thank him.
"Thank you!"
Kyo shrugged. "It's no big deal… now; the hard part awaits you…" Kyo lead her to the lake to teach her a few things…
Meanwhile…
"Akira… please explain to me what you are doing down there… with a shovel…" Bon questioned as he drank water from his bamboo flagon.
Akira looked up to him; he was wearing a blindfold though. He bit his lips before continuing his digging. "I'm digging a hole for myself…"
"For what reason?" Hotaru inquired as he tried to keep Akari away from killing the imaginary 'bandits-who-stole-her-kimono-and-then-gave-it-to-Yuya-in-exchange-for-hers'.
"I think… I shouldn't live anymore as my life has ended on that faithful night… of…" he gulped down his pride and dignity before continuing. "…of… being kissed… on the lips… by…"
"THE DEVIL THAT HAS ALREADY OWNED EVERYTHING I HAVE EXCEPT FOR MY VIRGINITY WHICH I HOPE WON'T BE TAKEN BY HIM TOO!" he dug the hole faster. "I must make haste before he manages to… take my worth as a man… and a warrior."
"There are a lot of gay warriors you know… it's getting quite popular nowadays…" Bon told him. "It's nothing to be ashamed of… at least it's not some random drunk…"
Akira tried to glare at him but the blindfold kept his eyes intact so it wouldn't pop out to emphasize his anger. "You… keep… that… word… away… from… me… I AM NOT GAY!"
"I didn't say you were… well, are you?"
"TO HELL WITH YOU!" Akira shouted. He increased his speed to dig a hole fit for all his pride of a man left. "My first kiss…" he mumbled to himself.
"Why don't you blind yourself? It'll keep the memory in you… well, just blind yourself… keep that blindfold for a while… and be blind. Heard it makes you more aware of things… I think you need to do so…" Akari voiced. He chuckled. "How could you lose it to a guy? How unaware were you?"
'Gods… if only he knew he's it…' Akira's conscience said.
At the lake…
"So… all I have to do is… talk randomly?" Yuya asked as she sat uncomfortably on the rock. Kyo nodded. "Hm… alright then…"
She drew in breath. "Kyo, you're an insensitive man who doesn't keep his words very much. You regret doing so after you've said them. I pity your lack of stand on a thing. I wish you good actually but I think I'm asking too much of that. What I need from you is a straight sense of logic and no playing around with my privacy as to what… for example, my virginity… it is not for you to know… or to play around with but, to be on the safe side, I'm a virgin and am proud of it as a princess… and… uh… ah, yes! Your long hair… is beautiful yet I feel that it'll get in your way when you smear blood all over the innocent ground on where your enemies lay… and then…" Yuya stopped to take another deep breath but Kyo stopped her. "What's wrong?"
Kyo was hyperventilating. His aura was heavy and he was having trouble with breathing. "…S-stop… before all my b-breath… dies off…" he managed through a ragged breath.
"What?"
"Your… long… talk… with painfully… monotonous tone… took all my… breath away…" he still struggled to take a deep breath. "Give me your breath!"
He pulled her to him and forced her to kiss him and urged her to perform mouth-to-mouth ventilation. Yuya struggled very much too.
He pulled away after she gave him her breath. He was still struggling though. "…"
Yuya blushed greatly even though it wasn't the first time their lips have met. But this was for another whole reason. She was indirectly saving him. "I'm… sorry…"
"For what reason? That… thing?" Kyo managed to control himself and his breathing. "It's not like I'm dead… am I?"
"But still…" Yuya stopped. "Yeah, it wasn't my fault to begin with… it was all yours!"
Now, Kyo stared at her, dumbfounded. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Argh! Just shut up! I don't wanna talk with you! Unless you admit your fault. See you!" Yuya took her leave with an intense glare. She swayed her fine hips roughly.
"Now… what did I do?" Kyo thought out loud.

A/N: WOOT! Look at that! An update! Not so long though… sorry! I wasn't sure myself since I've left this hanging for a LONG time… hm…my thoughts on this… a LONG gap indeed! Yet it was fun to have myself reading the other chapters first before updating… it took only a reading at Flowers and Willows to get me on my LP mood! Thanks Eternity! Anyways… I found myself… well, unconsciously torturing Akira! I don't know why! I don't hate him yet… I feel so relaxed to torture him… if you get what I mean. I don't need to strain myself to type him being… well degraded in a way… sorry to all Akira fans who are reading my fics! I'll repent my sins by updating fast even though my holidays are over! I SERIOUSLY don't understand this chapter as it jumps from one thing to another but I do like that bit of… yaoi-ish writing if you can call it that… poor Akira… (bows) sorry! Oh yeah, I myself don't get what Yuya's saying because it's random! Akira's overdramatic too… again; OOCs are still on rage in LP! I'm not promising anything in the future so… just keep R&R to keep me going! (Jumps away)
(wiping off sweat) that was long! My shoulders hurt! I expect a lot of reviews to keep me up on this or I'll forget again… your call, people!
