(A/N: This is a "Yu-Gi-Oh!" version of "Love Hina", with some other bits I thought to add in, so don't sue me!)
Ch. 2: Landlord of a Duelists' Dorm?
An hour after the declaration from his grandparents' last will and testament… Kay decided to hide away from the girls in his grandparents' old room, the landlord's room; Zoë still would like to try to defeat him, Foxy is frustrated at only his grandparents but still afraid what grudge she may hold against him, he doesn't know anything about Tammy or Pirika, he's too shocked to even see Melody, and he couldn't deal with another riot from Aunt Helen. KH asks himself out loud, "What were you two thinking?"
KH sighs as he takes a portable water-heating/tea pot, "At least I've got a place to stay, the only thing I have to do is work on a few things over the internet and get more cash for my future… if I ever get one, maybe there's a tournament to enter coming soon." He did the work over the Internet and went to look up the tournaments on the island, he found one, tomorrow in town.
All of the sudden, he remembers that he should look after his residents, after all… the hotel belongs to him now. Then he remembers Foxy…
With his guard down, he failed to realize that Foxy was beginning to grope him! "WHAT? What is this for?" Foxy smiles, "How long have you been single?" KH blushes nervously, "For as long as I can remember." Foxy grabs his hand and placed it at one of her unmentionables, "Maybe today's your lucky day."
Snapping back into reality, being the landlord of the hotel is going to be tough; especially when the lady duelists can do as much damage as they can duel.
He heard a few knocks upon his door, he replied, "Come in." Foxy came in, "I wanted to ask you a favor, landlord." Without even looking at her, KH simply said, "Call me Kuro-Horo, or Kuro, or KH, or Kay." She asked him, "Could you please come with me?" Kuro-Horo didn't bother to open his eyes to her, "What for?" She answered, "The women's bath."
KH asks, "Why should I bother? I'm not making the same mistake twice. Besides, I figured that you may as well make fun of me like my aunt did." Foxy said, "Come on! Hurry up now!"
KH got up and chased her, "Come here, I'm not that easy to fool!" But suddenly, he tripped on a wire obviously set up by Foxy and hit the ground! He groaned out, "Except for traps, not Trap Cards, but 'for real' traps." Then Foxy drags him into the baths by his feet, within the changing rooms, she says as she takes his shirt off of him, "Let's get this shirt off."
KH struggles to keep his clothes on, "Stop it! I can change in the men's baths!" He then rolls away from Foxy as she chases him; he begs to her as she chases him around the halls, "I've been changing my clothes since I was a kid! Please leave me alone!"
As he got to one of the men's baths, he sighed for relief. As a young fellow showed up beside him, KH suddenly got this distinct feeling. He tore the hair out of the other fellow and it proved to be Foxy in disguise!
As he sent Foxy flying out the door with a single punch, he roars at her, "MY FIRST RULE AS LANDLORD-IN-TRAINING; RESPECT THE GENDER APPROPRIATE AREAS!"
At the women's bath, Foxy showed up with a bandage over her forehead, she said to most of the others, "Damn! He's more stubborn, aggressive, and intelligent than I thought. It turns out my 'Test Kuro-Horo Utamaru' plan is becoming more of a failure from the moment it started."
Melody pretended she hasn't heard a word of it. She didn't want KH to leave, if he did the whole place would be shut down and there won't be any more homes left.
Tamera Sula asked Foxy, "Why do we want to test him for?" Foxy answered, "First of all… it's not intended to truly get rid of him, but to test that Slifer Red boy how much pressure he can withstand. If he fails, he may leave on his own free will. If he passes, we've got ourselves a strong-willed leader."
"Leader?" asked the other girls, "Are we forming some sort of committee?"
Zoë asks Foxy probably a more important question, "Why did you want him to come in here in the first place?" Foxy simply said as she removed the bandages, "To have him clean the whole girls' outdoor baths' hot spring grounds all by himself."
His voice was heard in the background, "If you just said that in the first place I would've agreed to those terms, Foxy!"
Everyone nearly jumped at the sound of his voice! They quickly turned to see him entering the bathhouse in white shorts and a white muscle shirt with a snake-like red mark that resembles Slifer the Sky Dragon in front (and in only those clothes, excluding the hair band that's keeping his ponytail in back).
Given the mop, KH got down to work. Observing the scene carefully, Foxy and the others witnessed the determined look on his face to finish it up.
As he finished, he sighs for breath and asks them, "Can I leave your hot springs now?" Foxy said, "You missed a spot."
Kuro-Horo just stood up, walked over to Foxy with a glare that could kill. Slowly his lips curled into a cold smirk towards her, "You know what they say…" Foxy, a little frightened by KH's new face, asked, "What do they say?" KH slowly answers, "If your feet are the source of the messiness of the hot springs grounds––" then he uses the mop in his hands as a staff and shoves her into a nearby hot spring, "CLEAN IT!" Then he bursts out laughing!
Emerging from the spring, Foxy first looked steamed at him, but then she bursts out laughing! Almost everyone around starts laughing too, everyone but Zoë was laughing. Little Tammy jumped in the springs with Foxy! Melody lightly giggled alongside the young man from Slifer Red's laughter! While Zoë remained quiet, Pirika just was sprawled on her back laughing like a hyena!
After he was done with cleaning the outdoor baths during having that bit of fun with them (while Zoë just stood there minding her own business)…
Foxy noticed her and shouted to her, "Come on, Z! Join the fun with the old Slifer!" Z just looked at her and said with a straight face, "Like I care." Foxy threw a wooden bucket at her, "Even a girl, regardless of bust size, should have fun whether it's Yu-Gi-Oh or not!"
Zoë sensed the incoming bucket and kicked it away; it ricocheted off a wall and into KH's face, ricocheting off of that and into her own gut!
From the sudden impact from the Foxy-"Scarlet Socks" Zoë bucket attack, KH slipped into the girls' hot spring and Zoë fell into it with much pain in her stomach!
Rising out of the water from up to their necks, as they got out of the natural hot water, KH and Zoë began to glare at each other. Then they both got a good look of their soaked clothes! KH gasped, "Huh? Strawberry-pink flower-styled playboy brassiere?" Zoë noticed, "What? Firmed-up six-pack?"
Recklessly, they physically slugged each other; KH delivered a heavy right hook to Z's face as she struck him with a lightning-swift kick to his face! The reckless attacks caused them both to knock each other… there they both were… out like a light. The others looked on at the two's reckless joined slug attacks. Tammy asks, "Is that a draw?"
On his way to his room (after they both recovered), he groaned, "What's with that girl? She's built to be a real Magical Girl if she so wishes, but she has no right to beat me up!"
Then he noticed something nearby him; a small pink children's ice pack. 'What is this doing here? It could be Melody trying to help.'
Later, after having his cheek recover thanks to the ice pack's help, "I knew that taking the job as the landlord is going to be a tough job from the start! But so far, the only tough thing was Zoë, so I should be safe for now."
He grabbed a book and looked in it to try to read off his worries, but instantly got bored and decided to throw it at the ceiling, which suddenly opened down in his face as a secret stairway and what he saw on top of those stairs is Zoë's nice behind (she must've been changing out of her wet clothes after their last encounter)!
Zoë said to herself, "Jeez! Thanks to that weak little lightning-spewing eel with wings, I'm all wet." Without looking, Zoë fell down the secret stairway between her room and KH's and landed right on his legs, butt-first!
The others heard her scream while she was falling; Pirika and Foxy came barging in KH's room, demanding to know what was going on! At first glance at KH, Foxy screamed in terror, "OH NO! ZOË'S ATTEMPTING TO MURDER KH BY SUFFOCATING HIM UNDERNEATH A LADDER!" Then calmed down, "While he's half-naked, of course." Pirika looked at the elder girl with curiosity (not bothered by the fact that KH is in his underwear) and said, "It sounded more like she fell through a secret passageway to me."
Later, after helping her out… in the lounge, Zoë growled "I'm going to take that 'Test Kuro-Horo Utamaru' plan of yours and kicking it up to its highest notch!" Foxy and Melody went wide-eyed in horror at the sight of an angry Zoë, hopefully KH has endured enough from Slifer Red to withstand the hardest of times back in his days of Duel Academia!
In his room, he looked at the papers and discovered where each girl lived in and how many people are living on the lands of the hotel right now. The landlord's room (#204), his, is next to #205; Foxy's. Melody lives in #201, which is right below Tammy's room (#301), and next to Tammy's room is Pirika's (#302). Helen just works in the outdoor café, which has her own room. That leaves Zoë's room (#304) just right above his own room!
"OH, THAT'S JUST GREAT!"
Zoë came to KH's room to give an order, but before she could even speak, KH calmly but frustratingly said to her, "Never mind, I will clean the floors."
And he did (all of the hallway floors).
Then he went to working at cooking with an iron stove.
Then to washing…
Then to repairs…
He never even bothered to show up at dinner!
Foxy glared at her best friend, Zoë, "Okay, this time you're going too far." Zoë confidently replied, "I never told him to do anything, I'll I ever did was show up and he growls out he'll do them." Then when she went to take the first bite of dinner… she noticed she was eating an air sandwich (nothing at all)!
She looked at the cook, Melody, who was glaring at her too! Zoë asked, "What did I do?" Melody said, "If he's not going to eat, neither are you."
At that, Zoë turned to stone. Once she cracked out of her statuesque state, she screamed––
"MELODY! LET ME EAT! WE'VE ALL GOT A TOURNAMENT TO GO TO TOMORROW! AND IF A DUELIST DOESN'T EAT, HER BRAIN WON'T WORK! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZ!"
In his personal bathroom… KH, who is taking a hot bath, could hear Zoë's whining scream all the way from the ground floor's main dining room! "Somehow, I just wish to know… WHAT IS THAT GIRL'S PROBLEM?"
That was the moment he regretted he ever said those words; his Sword Talisman's jewel flashed and glowed in a very bright light! He blacked out…
In the girls' hot springs, the 5 youngest girls on the provinces were discussing…
Foxy asked, "Zoë, why are you insisting to get rid of him? All he ever done ever since he was announced by his grandparents' will was punch me out of his men's baths (he has a right to do so), do what we asked at this bath, had a little fun with us here, stared at your brassiere, slugged you with a single punch, discover a secret stairway from his room to yours (which you accidentally fell through yourself), and get to work on things you haven't told him what to do. Seriously, girl; what is wrong with you?"
Tammy asked, "And why increase the difficulty of the 'Test Kuro-Horo Utamaru' plan to its limit?" Melody reminded Z, "This is not a girls' dorm, it is a hotel for all Duelists. And what do you do? You force yourself and us to try and reject him when he should just stay!"
From his bath, KH heard everything from there at the start, 'A 'Test Kuro-Horo Utamaru' plan? So that's what's going on!'
Pirika said, "Jeez, a normal human would give up after Zoë's bullying. Come to think of it, Zoë never bullied another person a day in her life before KH came." Tammy said, "Actually, I like him because he's fun to play with, especially today." Foxy agreed, "He reminded us that 'Yu-Gi-Oh' doesn't have to be taken seriously, it's also a game and we're supposed to have a good time. And all of that hard work we wanted to put him through clearly states he's passed the testing plan. So he's got plenty of good points."
Zoë exclaimed, "WHAT? Give me a break, and some food! The kind of Duelist such as one from Slifer Red does not deserve any good points! Don't you get it? Do you know the real meaning of red color of Slifer Red?"
Everyone responded, "No." Melody timidly asks, "Is there any meaning?" Zoë specifically said, "Red means red zone of dangerous people." "HUH?"
Zoë explains her knowledge of the dorms at D.A., "In the Duel Academia, it is divided into three dormitories by record. They are Obelisk Blue, Ra Yellow, and Slifer Red. Obelisk is reserved for the excellent record group from the middle class section. A new student who takes the high section test and gets the top rank is put into Ra Yellow."
Pirika asks, "So, Slifer Red means...?" Zoë grimly said to her, "It is the place for very useless dropout students." Melody was about to argue, "He…"
Zoë shrieks, "Have you got it yet? Having sent and staying there, a student has no future at all."
KH got up and said, "That's a lie! I did, too, get a future! And that's here!" He realized that his voice went higher and more disturbingly… feminine.
He looked at himself in a mirror, but it wasn't his reflection!
The first things to greet him were a pair of gentle green eyes. A lock of smooth black hair dropped down into one of said eyes and he brushed it aside.
He looked down… and instantly regretted it. What greeted him was a slim figure that had certain… large parts that could only belong to a… not a boy.
He has actually become a 'she'!
To confirm that if he has indeed become 100 percent female… he felt down to his nether regions… and felt NOTHING! Then (s)he screamed!
That scream reached the girls, even his (um… her) aunt!
KH's aunt got from her bed and rushed to see what's wrong, she ran into the girls' location: their hot springs. Helen asks, "Is something wrong?" Zoë got up, and instantly got a stomachache, "Wasn't me; too hungry to scream like that." Foxy said, "That sounded more like a scream of someone freaking out." Tammy thought as analytically as she could, "It wasn't any of our voices." Pirika suggests, "Probably it's KH, I've heard even grown men scream like little girls." Noticing Melody and Tammy, she apologized immediately, "My apologies, I mean Zoë said he was able to mimic 'Pokémon's' Nurse Joy's voice rather perfectly."
Helen said, "Never mind, I'll check up on my nephew anyway."
As she arrived, she only saw KH, still stuck in girl form and bare-naked, huddled into a corner… hugging her legs under her chin.
Helen sighs and smiles, "So, the first of your Inner Duelist Soul Powers has been discovered and amplified. Huh, Kay?"
Happy to know that she recognizes her as her nephew in a different body, the magically feminized Kuro-Horo leaped into her aunt's arms in a tear-soaked smile, "AUNT HELEN!"
Zoë overheard that cry and superhumanly jumped into KH's bathroom window and saw her! She doesn't recognize her, "I thought you and Kuro-Horo were the last and only true-blooded Utamaru family members in the world."
KH shrieked, "Zoë, it is me! Kuro-Horo Utamaru!" She even showed off her Sword Talisman! The others showed up with their towels barely fastened on tight enough…
After explaining to the others in her room… "After hearing Zoë's complaint about not having any dinner, I've accidentally wished what was her problem, then there was a mysterious light, and I suddenly morphed into a female version of myself!"
Helen explained that to them as well, "The Inner Duelist Soul Powers are focused and built up from playing powerful card games such as 'Yu-Gi-Oh' and amplified into real magic. But just like randomly drawing a card from your deck, you never know what card you're going to get. Kuro-Horo's first one must be the ability to change his form into another regarding the situation; Environmental Body Morph."
Foxy asks, "You mean to say that we've suddenly each have super-strong magic that surpasses normal humans now?" Helen nods, "And unfortunately, so could other Duelists. So be careful out there and protect the game's name."
Pirika grins, "Congratulations, Landlord Utamaru; you are officially our leader in our committee." KH groans, "So that's what the whole sneaky 'Test Kuro-Horo Utamaru' plan was all about? To see if I was worthy of leading you girls to the top?" Foxy fondled KH's breasts through her bathrobe (compliments of her aunt), "Don't forget, you're a girl too now!" She even pulled a banana from out of nowhere!
From outside the hotel, KH screamed, "If you stick that banana––– AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, MAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!"
After the 'fun' with Foxy… everyone headed for bed, for the tournament tomorrow! Zoë still haven't gotten a bite to eat, Foxy got a kick to the stomach she'll never forget, Tammy walked towards her room in deep thought of her own powers, Melody was horribly mentally scarred from Foxy's actions on KH as a girl, Pirika felt sorry for the KH girl, Helen sat in a hot tub to relax, and KH was steamed enough as it was.
KH sighs, "Did today really happen?" Zoë opened her secret stairway and shouts, "Whatever you're eating tomorrow, I'm stealing it! I haven't had a bite of dinner because of you! The injustice of it all!" KH roars, "Well, if you're a Magical Girl fan, then you should know that it's their duty to fight for justice, not against it!"
Then she reached into one of her luggage, pulled out a can of ramen, and threw it at Z, "Boil the water yourself! I carry a lot of these on my travel, plus some portable travel tea." Then she even went as far as throwing a small square object into Zoë's room, before she closes it!
As she heard the object landing on her bed… she lowly groans out, "Idiot." As she turns to throw it back at him, it is a 'Cardcaptor Sakura' (Japanese dub)/'Cardcaptors' (English dub) 6 disc whole anime/movie series in one case!
She gasps, "I don't own this, yet I've been dying to get a copy of this!" She reopens the stairway and asked KH, "How'd you get this?"
She replies, "Oh, a gift from someone I don't know, never watched it." Zoë asks, "Why'd you throw it at me?" KH answers, "I was aiming for the bed, but I guess I put too much 'oomph' into it." Zoë smiles a little, "Well, thanks for both of these. I guess you deserve a 'thank you', I gave you that ice pack."
KH was so shocked, 'Zoë gave me the ice pack?' The bathrobe suddenly felt too tight for her.
"But why?"
Zoë said, "Because I––" She became shocked at the sudden surprise;
"Watermelon boobies and all blonde hair that reaches the floor?"
Zoë was right, KH somehow gained the ability to morph her female body into any form she wishes (this one somehow came completely out of her subconscious)!
KH got her surprise from Zoë, "Pink polka-dotted brassiere?"
Zoë's robes opened up to reveal her bra!
KH cried, "I'LL NEVER BE LIKE THE LEGENDARY DUELISTS!" Zoë turned green, "And my boobs were getting bigger!"
To be continued…
