Hi.
I'm not gonna make a lame-ass excuse on why I didn't update for so long... but I did place some at the bottom A/N...
For those who continued reading this, thank you XD
Chapter Four: I'm a Guy for F*ck's Sake
Ayano served everyone ketchup smiley's on some medicine-infused-omurice platter along with large rays of sunshine and her own smiles to her seriously awkward companions. Though she had some small headache herself, she said that at least a person or two have got to function in the house. Kido helped her, after either glaring or threatening them to eat, the others took a bite and either felt better or threw up the lather with the liquor that got trapped in their system. After eating, Shintaro sips his cup of coffee quietly. It was a surprise to everyone that he didn't drown himself in soda so early in the morning. Well, who wouldn't be surprised when part of his diet is basically glugging an average of 99 cans of soda in a daily basis? Konoha, as expected, was still gobbling up most of the platter without batting an eye. Takane was glaring at her own plate intensely, pushing the leftovers with her fork inside the plate and later on pulling them in before it could fall. Seto was coaxing some food into the dazed albino who was secretly imaging lots of BL fantasies and 'what-if-last-night-something-like-'. Momo nursed her head ache with some pain killers along with some orange-lime, peach-mango, chocolate-mint drops she swallowed beforehand to make the medicine's taste more tolerable. Even with Momo's taste buds, medicine tastes like medicine—and hell, even a small pill tastes that bad! Hibiya seems to be asleep on his seat, but not that much… he 'wakes up' every so often whenever that bile in his system threatens to be thrown up—well he isn't the only one in the room experiencing that. Kano, who threw up most and managed to worry both Ayano and Kido so much, had his face down on the dining table and protested strongly against seconds—reasoning that it will only make him throw out most of it.
"Heh…" she says in a bored tone, "I didn't expect you to be such a wimp when you're having a hangover, Kano–san~" Takane ends with a smirk,
"Shut up."Kano growled, "I don't want to hear that from the virus who corrupted the video because one of the so called 'King' ordered it…"
"A certain someone said that 'a king's order is absolute.' Right?" She reasoned out and started to stretch her arms upwards, "I wasn't able to get much blackmail material… you should at least be happy about that" she mutters,
"Hey, be happy that we don't have much against you aside from that dancing scene." Shintaro says with a smug grin,
"I WAS DRUNK!" Takane shouts back, blushing furiously and thankfully she wasn't in the mood to flip tables.
"Ma, ma! All that goes well, ends well!" Ayano chirps happily,
"How did yesterday night ended well—moreover… whatever possibly happened most likely didn't really went smoothly… Hell, I can't even remember what happened!" Hibiya mutters, because of this Momo caught him in a headlock and told him to just go and shut up-
But Hibiya stated something that everybody else had in mind, especially Kido, Shintaro, and Kano…
# # # #
"So basically… Kido's in my body, Kano's in Kido's body, and I'm in Kano's body. I see… WELL TO HELL WITH THAT! I DON'T SEE HOW THIS IS EVEN POSSIBLE! HECK – I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION I'M IN RIGHT NOW!" 'Kano' spat as'Kido' gave him lopsided grin, 'Shintaro' glared at 'her' intensely.
((Well, you could somehow get the picture; Kano's in Kido's body, Kido's in Shintaro's body, and Shintaro's in Kano's body.))
"It means what it means~" the real Kano says while shrugging nonchalantly, earning a hit in the head,
"…just shut up…" the real Kido muttered.
"Oh fuck that, the way I'm hearing Kido's voice so girly and my very own voice right infront of me – creeps the hell out of me…" the real Shintaro says as he cringes away from the two.
"You don't say, it's hard for me too you know!~." Kano pouted
"It's all hard for the three of us..." Kido deadpanned. "Face it Kisaragi, you somehow got involved a three-way swap-shit-something with me and Kano."
"How is shit even possible!" Shintaro groaned, throwing his hands to the air
"The same way you and Nee-chan getting married is possible." Kano blurts, earning a glare from Kido and an exasperated sigh from Shintaro, he simply shrugs, "Meh, just go with the flow?"
"HOW COULD I 'GO WITH THE FLOW' WHEN I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE SWAPPED BODIES?! AND HELL! IT EVEN SEEMS POSSIBLE THAT YOU GUYS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO TO SWAP US BACK!"
The deceiver threw a lopsided grin and glanced sideways towards Kido as he opens his mouth, before words could even escape his lips, Kido ran towards him and clamped his mouth shut. Desperately.
This confused the HikiNEET more, making him eye them suspiciously.
"So you guys do?"
"Yes~/No!" The two said/shouted at the same glares, Kano grins, Shintaro stares.
"Well… let me tell you that that isn't very simple – it m-may be simple for other's b-but…" Kido speaks up, glancing between Shintaro and Kano, "It's-it's just..."
Kano takes the hint and chuckles, "Sorry Shintaro-kun, it's just hard to explain."
"...m'kay then, I'll give you a day to explain the details on me... but if we don't change now, you guys do understand that we have to act as each other for a whole day, right?" Shintaro says, stating their new predicament. The three stared at each other,
Kano snaps his fingers and grin, "It'll be easy! Kido just needs to act the same- except she need to be more negative and more passive- and of course, more socially awkward- and she can pass as a 'Shintaro'"
"-HEY!" the other two shouted,
"-I just have to act as aggressively-passive, utmost caring, loving, cuuuttteee to bwe wa Kwidooo" Kano points out as Kido pinches/pulls his cheeks,
"No shit, but I need to act as you, Kano. So how the hell do I do that?" Shintaro reminds them.
"Just be the crap 'Kano' is, the little shit who keeps bugging 'Kido', makes bullshitty jokes, be the person who you and anyone else never want themselves to be, that simple." Kano deadpanned.
"How can you demean yourself so apathetically..." Kido glares, hating how the lil' shit is being a lil' shit again and the fact that all he said was kinda true.
"...try using my powers...?" Kano suggests, "activate it the way you activate yours."
"Well... it's kind of complicated..." Shintaro says as he scratches the back of his head,
"How complicated?" Kano questions as Kido raises a quizzical brow,
"I have to shove a pair of scissors to... your throat?" Shintaro attempted explaining,
"I'll DIE that way."
"Maybe do it the way Kano does?" Kido tried,
"Well, how do you do it?"
"...I just... do?" Kano shrugs, Kido gave him a tired look and Shintaro gave it some thought,
"So... I just have to think it and I could do it?" he inquires,
"Well, now that I think of it... yeah..." Kano confirms,
"We can... pull it off, I guess..." Shintaro sighs,
"We somehow passed earlier morning, so... we probably can, right?" Kano grins a little, "Since I'm pretty much the observer of everyone, I'll tell you every single thing that might come handy about the person we currently are!"
"Okay, so while we're at it... teach me how to use this." Kido says as she blushed, faced the other side, and as she pointed downwards,
"..." Kano and Shintaro stares downwards to that direction, "AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THAT?!"
"you gave me a heart attack earlier... when you asked us how to pee..." Kano says as they sauntered into the kitchen to grab something to drink. He got some water for himself and also gave some cola to Kido, who scowled at the can. "C'mon, you're the soda addict today..."
"It's not that... what else would I mean when I asked you how to use 'it'?" Kido says as she opens the soda can and takes a sip, "That's the only question I could ask right?"
"But you already know how to use it, right? Cuz we've been like this for some time now and..."
"I needed to act as someone who has no idea how to be a guy, or are you willing to share to Shintaro about this." Kido says gesturing their lips. Kano pouts and proceeds into gulping the water he has in hand.
"Well, either we do or we stay like this for life." Kano points out.
"...it's just...really awkward to..." Kido admits,
"Well, aside from trying to explain things to him, we should probably think about... what really happened." Kano shrugs and Kido nods as the two tried figuring out a hole out of this loop.
"Considering that I am in your body right now might mean that we've swapped first hand... then, Shintaro kissed you... or you kissed...him... and you guys...swapped... and... shit." Kano starts,
"...and to swap back... we* have to kiss... Shintaro" Kido ends,
The thought made Kano embrace the wall and Kido to cringe.
"...shit. the idea makes me wanna throw up… damn no, I don't want to kiss him." Kido massaged circles on her temples. Simply thinking about it makes it feel as if the hangover never really dissipated.
"...goddamn it… I certainly don't want to think about it...but... Kido kissing Shintaro? Me kissing him?!" Kano would've laughed so hard at the idea if only the situation wasn't associated with them…
"..."
"..."
"..."
"One of us have to kiss him." Kano states.
"I don't want to..." Kido looks at him, pleading with her eyes.
"Either your mind rots while using his body to kiss him or your body gets tainted with his lips." Kano scowls, "One of us have to kiss him."
"...then... you kiss him! I seriously don't want to!" Kido hisses, shutting Kano up. But of course, he gave a comeback a little afterwards,
"...you want me to kiss Shintaro? Me who's currently in your body right now? ME? Suuuure, I'll get my body back but Shintaro will claim yours and you will still end up kissing him in the end. Twice, I might add, both physically and mentally if that makes any sense!" Kano spats, smirking up until he notices how much Kido was shaking infront of him,
"I told you... I really don't want to..." Kido groans in distress, Kano offers a weak smile and takes a deep breath,
"Welp. Can't help it, can we?" He says as he grabs Kido by the collar and gave her a small peck on the lips. When they immediately separated, Kido saw the colors on Shintaro's face and somehow felt the blush creeping up at her own face too. It was awkward seeing a face she wasn't really used to see up that close, to kiss even, and she realized how weird and awkward every shit is and pushed Kano away from her a little.
"...Thanks." Kido whispers as she disappeared to her room.
Kano scoffs, smiling a little, "The things I do for you... You don't know how much a pain it is to see 'Shintaro' acting as 'you'... I'm a guy for fuck's sake and I... have to... kiss..."
...another guy yet again...
And after saying that and thinking it through, he realized how deep the shit he's stepping on is...
Imagine Marry, seeing that. XD
Wait, wait... what if... Ayano saw that.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
*Kido used the term 'we' cuz either of them has to kiss Shintaro, duh, it's not like both of them have to kiss him. ((OMG! OMG! I finally nailed it—found a good explanation that isn't too simple but not too hard to understand and not really confusing at all! ))
Cuz I could say;
"Kido in this shitty part meant that she, currently in Shintaro's body, needs to kiss Shintaro, who in this time is currently in Kano's body, so basically: Kido kisses Shintaro (mentally?) = Shintaro kissing Kano (physically?)... or vice versa"
Or,
"I dunno what pronoun I should use, 'we' sounded fine so I just went with it."
Or I could say in the A/N note next chapter if anyone ever notices that Kido used the word 'we' instead of 'I' and comments that it bothers them and that it srsly bothers them to the point that I should edit such a very small minuscule mistake.
"Oh, I didn't see that, that's a typo, lol, please ignore that. I have no time to change that"
...I should've went with explanation 3... shouldn't I... meh, the one I used does seems more practical, doesn't it?
(Actual reason for not updating this story, I dunno how to explain every single part of this shit and I'm starting to get very confused myself while writing this story so I ended up with writers' block... and lived my life
Real reason: I forgot my password for this account and just recently remembered it...)
Still, I can't promise fast/regular updates... I'm really sorry...
