Cuxie: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Kazune&Karin: Unfortunately.

Cuxie: I got lots of reviews! Yay! Unfortunately I'm skipping review time. Boohoo!

Kazune: Ya know, I've been thinking. All these awkward scenarios that are sure to come up could be easily avoided.

Cuxie: Well DUH! But the awkward scenarios is what makes for great reading! So instead of avoiding, we'll plow right into them! YAY AWKWARD!!

Karin: Help me...


"Kazune-chan...Karin-chan...are you two alright?" Himeka asked as she watched the pair struggle with their meal Karin's hands seemed to be shaking slightly as she ate while Kazune hadn't taken a single bite. He couldn't seem to control his chopsticks.

Damn it! Karin thought as she tried to correctly position her silverware. Why'd he have to be left-handed?! she muttered curses while trying to eat. Seriously considering giving up and faking a stomach virus. "...Ugh..." she groaned and Kazune elbowed her. Finally she gaving up trying to use them correctly and stabbed her meatball with both sticks, shoving it into her mouth.

Himeka sweatdropped. Watching them closely as they all ate in silence. Kazune was stabbing his food angrily and sending several glares and related looks in Karin's direction. Maybe they're just in another argument. Not sure how or why that effects their eating, but... "Well I'm done!" she announced breaking the awkward silence. "I hope you don't mind, but I think I'll go to bed a little early tonight. Oyasu." she bowed slightly, excusing herself and went upstairs. Karin and Kazune both waiting until she was out of earshot before turning to each other.

"You are so gonna loose this." Kazune said(he is in Karin's body. please remember).

"It's not my fault!" Karin growled. "Why the hell did you hafta be left-handed?! And quit looking at me like that!" he laughed, but in Karin's voice it came out as more of a giggle.

He sighed, "Look. Let's just...get to bed. Himeka had the right idea. We have a test tomorrow and since dinner clearly isn't happening..." he trailed off looking back at the cold food left on his plate.

"Ok." Karin agreed.

After clearing the table they both headed upstairs. Karin got to the top of the steps and stopped.

"What?"

"Wh-What do we do now?" she asked blushing lightly. Kazune got irritated.

"What do you mean? What kinda dumb question is that?! And don't blush when you're in my body. It makes me look stupid."

"Well sor-ry!" Karin yelled sarcastically. "I just don''t so how we're supposed to take baths or anything! And I don't want you touching or seeing things you shouldn't!"

"Oh yeah?! Well I..." he trailed off thinking about what she said. Oh crap. She's right. Maybe I didn't think this through...he looked back up and saw Karin going into her room and started to go after her when he heard the pitter-patter of little feet coming towards him.

"Mommy!" A small blonde child about four or five came up to him and hugged his legs. Large green eyes, identical to Karin's, were staring up at him in childish wonder. "Mommy," he said again reaching his arms up. Kazune leaned down and picked him up.

"Suzune...kun." he remembered Karin calling him that. Geez...I wonder if it's ok if the kid knows. Then again, I wouldn't want him calling me 'Daddy' in public. It'd probably embarrass the hell outta Karin. He thought with a slight smirk. "Suzune-kun I thought you were with Kazusa-chan." he said in perfect imitation of Karin. Suzune giggled.

"I missed Mommy. Where's Daddy?" he asked looking over his shoulder.

"Uh...good question." he said going into Karin's room. "Kar--er, Kazune-kun?" Man this is weird. "What are you doing?"

"Getting the bathing suits." she said rooting through some drawers. On the bed was a towel, her nightgown, and panties. He sighed.

"Karin...I hate to break it to you but I doubt the bathing suit thing will work this time. We're gonna have to pull this off for the week." he explained, putting down Suzune who went to hug Karin. "I'll take Suzune with me." he said.

"Ok first off, stop calling me that in front of him," she whispered. "Kazune-kun...for once in your life you have to use honorifics. Second, what would taking Suzune prove?"

"Do you really think I'd do something perverted in front of the kid?" he hissed. They were whispering now and Suzune-kun was playing with the small white kitten that had somehow ended up under Karin's bed with Shii-chan.

"Well...I-I guess not. Ok." she sighed. "But don't touch anything!" Kazune rolled Karin's green eyes.

"How exactly am I supposed to bathe without touching anything?" he asked impatiently.

"Uh...Well just don't be perverted! Suzune-kun's young and impressionable!"

"For God's sakes Karin! Don't you think I know that?" he said raising his voice a little. Suzune turned to look at them worried. "I won't do anything wrong. You're gonna have to trust me." she nodded.

"Mommy?" Suzune stood up and toddled over to him. Kazune smiled.

"C'mon Suzune-kun! It's bath time." he said picking up the child and toiletries Karin had laid out on the bed and leaving Karin's room. She sighed staring after them. Kazune had seemed a little pleased at this sudden turn of events and that worried her. But she knew he wouldn't do anything pervy in front of his own son. She hoped not at least...

Kazune sat stiffly in the bath tub watching Suzune play with the bubbles. They nearly over flowed and filled the air with a strawberry scent. He sighed and his mind started to drift. I guess this explains why Karin always smells so good...Wait! What?! He shook his head furiously.

Despite what he said, in his position it was kinda hard not to be perverted. His mind wandered to several places it probably shouldn't have, but he was relieved when he realized that was all he had to worry about. His mind. Girls had it easier. Their bodies didn't react when they thought perverted things.

When he had to strip out of his clothes he had seriously considered going back for the bathing suit.

"What's wrong Mommy?" Suzune asked blowing a few bubbles at him. He smiled.

"Nothing. I'm fine." he cautiously reached for a rag and started to scrub his arms. Unsure of what else to do or any other way to approach this.

Suzune watched quietly as his "mother" gently washed herself, almost as if she was afraid to hurt herself. She was biting her lip and he cocked his head at her. Slowly but surely he started to mimick her. Gently washing his arms and legs. Not taking his eyes off his "mom".

"Suzune-kun? What are you doing?" Kazune asked watching the small child and couldn't help but think it was a bit odd.

"Cleaning. Like Mommy." he answered cutely.

Man this isn't working. Maybe I should just do this and get it over with. Besides...it's not like anything I haven't seen before. he thought reddening slightly.

He looked over at Suzune who was once again playing with the fading bubbles. Giggling without a care in the world. It must be nice not to have hormones.

"I guess I can use the shower in the other bathroom." Karin thought out loud. She had managed to find some pajamas and...boxers in one of Kazune's dresser. She blushed lightly and went out into the hall. She could see the light coming from under the door where Kazune and Suzune were. Hearing Suzune's laughter she smiled.

At the end of the hall was a second bathroom next to Kazune's room and across from Karin's. There was also one downstairs, but it was only a half bathroom. She turned on the light and shower, letting the water run and get warm. She looked down at and blushed, realizing this is where things got difficult. Ok. I can do this. "Just don't look down." she told herself as she started to strip.

Taking her shirt off first, she closed her eyes as she started to pull off the jeans and boxers without looking down. "Ahh...GAH!" She tried to kick off the jeans, but her foot got stuck, causing her to loose balance and fall on her back. Her bare skin touched the cold tiled floor and she jumped back up. "Geez...this is difficult. I don't think I can do it without looking." she thought flushing.

She looked down and her eyes widened. Several thoughts entered her mind at once but the one that stood out most was, Wow!. She blushed again and quickly pulled her pants and boxers off.

Testing the water first, she quickly got in the shower. Warm water ran over her and she sighed. There wasn't much point in just standing there so she grabbed the soap and a poufe(can someone please tell me what those puffy things are called? until then I'll call them 'poufes'.XD) She didn't mind so much washing his chest as he did hers. But once she saw she couldn't help but stare. She thought he was just skinny, but there was definitely muscle underneath those long sleeved shirts he always wore.

God! Why am I thinking like this?! And I told him not to be perverted...maybe I was a little too hard on him. She let her fingers subconciously trace the muscles on his arms and chest. Whoa...I wonder how much he had to train to get like this.

Perv. Naughty girl. Karin's head snapped up and she looked around.

Wah! Wh-Who said that?!

You're conscience Einstein. I'm here to tell you to stop being pervy.

I-I'm not! He's just...

Hott?

NO! Well...kinda, but--

You're still touching him.

Huh?

You're still touching him. You. His body!

"Whoa!" her hands shot up and she jumped back. "Ok. I-I think I'm clean enough!" she said turning the water off and wrapping a towel around herself. I'm not pervy! Stupid conscience! she huffed throwing on the pajamas and taking a quick glance in the mirror. She and saw how flushed she was.

I don't know what he's talking about...He's pretty cute when he blushes.


Cuxie: Man. This is even awkward to type!

Kazune:O.o

Karin:O.O

Cuxie:XD R&R!! There's more to come! And yes I threw the Chu characters in there just for the heck of it!

Suzune: Bye-bye!

Jin: When do I come in?
