ON WITH THE SHOW- I mean- CHAPTER!
Jounouchi set Seto down on the edge of the bathtub and turned on the water, "Alright then, just call me when you're done."
Seto nodded and waited for Jou to turn around and head out to start undressing. As soon as Jou was about to close the door, he heard Seto lower herself into the water. He went back downstairs and got himself breakfast of whatever was around the house. He thanked god that Mokuba was still a kid and knew how to eat good food. All Seto ate was French toast and salads.
After Jou had his fill of breakfast he went upstairs and didn't even have to help Seto, who had managed to get out of the bath, dry herself off and get dressed. Jounouchi stared at the brunette, "Wait, it's only been 24 hours since your ankle got sprained and it was a 3rd degree sprain, too. How the hell are you able to walk on it already!"
"I don't know," Seto said, "I've always been able to get better faster than most people."
"Damn, I wish I had that ability," Jounouchi said.
"I could help you, but it would apply cruel and unusual punishment to your body that will be forced to go unattended to for at least a week and the consequences could be harmful and the permanent loss of attributes that you use daily at work and school, making it impossible for you to do anything and cause you to lose your job and have to be home schooled by a tutor, which you don't have the money for and you and your sister would be forced to move in with your father or any other qualified guardian until you are proven to be able to take care of yourself again," Seto said.
Jou stared at her, wide eyed, "Uh okay, I have two things to tell you. One, was that actually one sentence you just said? And two, I have no idea what you just said, since it had too big of words, it was too long of a sentence and it's too early for me."
Seto laughed, "You really are a Bonkotsu. Kindergarten version of that sentence is I can show you, but it would give you really big owies."
"I get it now," Jou chuckled, "I never thought I'd hear you say owies."
"You'll never hear me say it again. I told you it was the Kindergarten version," Seto said, walking out of the bedroom, "That's actually the first time I said it."
"Wow," Jou said. He looked at his watch as he followed Seto out of her room, "Oh geez, I have to get ready for work! I'm gonna be late!"
"How could you be late? What time is it," Seto asked.
"It's going to be 15 minutes after 2 o'clock!" Jou explained rushing into his room and running out of it 3 minutes later, "And my shift starts in 15 minutes! I have to take my motorcycle since I use it for deliveries."
Seto looked at him, "What is your job anyway?"
"Well, during the school year it's a part time job at a local pizza place," Jou said, "And during the summer I work at a movie premiere as well at the mall. It pays reasonably and I work as much as I can to meet the bills."
"Well, I could help you pay some of those bills if it's too much for you," Seto said.
"Really, wouldn't you need to ask Kaiba first?" Jou asked, "And I don't want to be in debt with him. My boss knows my situation and gives me a free pizza now and then, whenever he can."
"I know, but if it ever comes down to it, you can count on me to help you," Seto said, then looked at the clock, "You have 10 minutes to get to work."
"SHIT!" Jou exclaimed, "I'll see you later!"
Jou quickly kissed Seto on the lips, much to her surprise, and ran down the stairs and out the door. Seto smiled to herself, putting her hand to her lips. She realized her actions and walked towards her office, closing the door behind her.
The next day, all four teens went to school. Seto easily got the teachers to accept their reason for not going to school the other day, which was actually all their fault since they leaked information about her, Jounouchi and their personal lives to the public without their permission or knowledge of it. As soon as Seto and Jounouchi got into school they were surrounded by their friends.
"Why weren't you two here yesterday?" Honda asked.
"Did you not hear what was on the news the day before yesterday?" Jou asked, "We couldn't or we'd be skewered and eaten by the press."
"BUT YOU STILL COULD HAVE COME YESTERDAY, YOU BLOODY WANKERS!" Bakura exclaimed, "The high priestess shouldn't have been out with her dumb dog on a day like yesterday!"
"Kura, calm down," Ryou said, "None of us knew we had to perform our plays yesterday until seconds before we were to. It's not their fault."
"The play was put on yesterday?" Seto asked in disbelief.
"Yes," Anzu answered, obviously angry.
"And we didn't have the hero or the heroine of the play," Otogi said.
"We had to put Bakura and Ryou as those parts and Bakura kept trying to act evil," Honda said.
Yami said, "The damn thief kept trying to steal stuff from Otogi's wallet and when Otogi tried to act like the villain Bakura tried to strangle him!"
"Shut your mouth, Pharaoh!" Bakura exclaimed, "I was only protecting my host! How dare he try and flirt with Ryou!"
"I was acting!" Otogi complained, "It was a play! I wasn't serious with that flirting!"
"Wait a second. Bakura, what did you call me and Seta?" Jou asked.
"I called you a high priestess and her dumb blonde dog," Bakura answered, "And since when have you called her by her first name?"
"Uh, this weekend," Jou said, "Today is Wednesday, right?"
"Yes, it is," Yami said, "But Ms. Marufuji said you guys have been given an F on the assignment and that you two have to be her helpers for the rest of the school year to make it up."
"Which means about a month or two," Yuugi said, "I just don't know how we managed to get a decent grade on the project."
"I am so sorry you guys," Jounouchi said, "I promise I'll never miss school without telling you guys again."
Finally, the bell to start the day rang and they all went to their classes.
The end of the day came and Seto went to the bathroom. When she went inside there was a large group of girls inside glaring at her. Seto glared right back at them, "I'm guessing that you were the ones that left that note in my shoe locker. What do you all want? I'm a very busy woman, as you can see."
The girl closest to Seto glared harder. She had long blonde hair that had obviously been bleached and had blue streaks in her hair. She was wearing the blazer to her uniform in a similar way that Yami wore his. "You're the girl that Kaiba-sama has apparently fallen for?" She scoffed and flipped her hair, putting a hand on her hip, "You're just a plain old halfer girl. You're Japanese, but the rest of you is something else. Kaiba-sama deserves better than you."
Seto let out a silent snort, "And exactly who do you think is better than me?"
Another girl spoke up. This girl had short light purple hair that was also colored with dye. "You dare talk to Emi-sama like that?" She exclaimed, "You should be grateful she's even taken the time out of her precious life to even so much as look at you let alone talk to you!"
Emi put a hand in front of the light purple haired girl, "It's alright, Ren-chan. You don't need to waste your voice on this girl." Emi spoke to Seto, "You're a little slut you know that? You're leading Kaiba-sama on while you've got that blonde tied around your fragile little finger. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"
Seto sighed as if she was bored, "You don't understand at all. I have no relationship with Seto other than trusted acquaintance. That's better than all of you idiotic girls. Look at yourselves. You have to color your hair and gang up to make yourselves feel fulfilled. How sad is that?" (I mean no offense to those who color their hair. I was just using this as the girls' trademark.)
The girls became angry, their fists clenching so tight their palms turned ghostly white. Emi smiled and snapped her fingers in a strange pattern. Suddenly, five girls sprang from the bathroom stalls and took ahold of Seto's arms and legs. Seto glared at Emi, "You little…"
"Let this be a warning to you. If I hear any more news about you and Kaiba-sama together," Emi flicked out a pocket knife and a few other girls did as well, "then the cuts we're gonna give you right now will become permanent scars at best."
The girls holding Seto started forcing her down to the floor. Seto tried to fight them off, but there were too many of them. Seto then relaxed and was forced onto the floor roughly. Emi swiped the pocket knife at Seto's cheek, but Seto acted quickly. She moved slightly and made Emi hit one of the girls holding Seto in the hand. The girl wailed in pain and ran out of the bathroom, clutching her injured hand to her chest. Emi scowled when she saw Seto smirk.
"You think just because one of my girls left that you can beat me?" She laughed, "This just makes it easier to cut you up."
Two of the girls twisted Seto's arms behind her and grabbed her hair to prevent her head from moving. Emi started towards Seto again and motioned for some of the girls to guard the door and windows. Just as Emi got close enough to let her blade graze across Seto's face, the brunette let her legs crumble beneath her. The girls holding her fell forward with her and the girl to the left of Seto had her shoulder cut slightly.
She held her shoulder and looked at the blood on her hand. Her eyes widened and filled with tears as she ran out of the bathroom just as the last girl had. 'Two down and thirteen to go,' Seto thought, 'this is going to be fun. I can't wait to see them all crying on their knees in front of me. I'm not some helpless girl that gets into a fight and doesn't learn anything.'
One girl charged at Seto, but was unsuccessful. Seto elbowed her in the gut and grabbed her knife. She fell to the floor and Seto took an offensive stance. Emi and Ren glared at Seto. They would be in quite a shock if they ever found out she was the man they were lusting after.
Finally, only Ren and Emi were left of the girls that had attacked Seto. Many of the girls had run off and about three or four girls were unconscious on the floor of the bathroom. Ren snarled, "Give up, girl, or we'll have to end up killing you right here and now."
"And exactly what purpose would killing me have," Seto asked, "If you kill me, you'll never see Seto Kaiba again."
Emi and Ren's eyes widened. "Y-you're lying," Ren stuttered, "What did you do to him?"
"Nothing," Seto said, "Something happened to Seto Kaiba and now I've replaced him until it can be reversed."
"Don't even try tricking us," Emi said, "I can tell when people are lying!"
"Oh, can you? Then, tell me if you think I'm lying about this," Seto's glared softened, "I am Seto Kaiba and I have been turned into a girl after being shocked by lightning a few weeks ago."
Ren looked at her blonde friend, "Emi-sama, please tell me she's lying. She can't seriously be Kaiba-sama, can she?"
Emi's hazel eyes widened, "I didn't see any hints of her lying. She's telling the truth," she dropped the knife in her hands and fell to her hands and knees, "I'm so sorry, Kaiba-sama! I didn't mean to do such horrid things to you. I'm just glad you weren't hurt- not that I thought I could hurt you! To show you how sorry I am I'll do anything you want me to!"
Seto smirked, "In that case, you two can make sure the press stay away from the school and keep that secret to yourselves. If it ends up getting out, I won't hesitate to kill you and the person or people you tell."
Ren got down on the ground, her lilac eyes filled with tears, "We promise to keep your secret and take it to our graves, if necessary! We are loyal to you and only you, Kaiba-sama."
Seto let out a small noise of victory, "Now get up and take care of these girls before anyone starts to ask questions of what happened. Just say that they all got food poisoning or stomach aches."
They both stood up as straight and as stiff as boards, "Yes, Kaiba-sama. We won't fail you!"
Seto left the bathroom and went on home, not even a scratch on her. When she went inside, Jounouchi pulled her into a hug, "Se-chan, there you are. Where have you been all this time? I was so worried!"
"I had to do something at school before I left and made two acquaintances that I'm sure I can control," Seto said, loosening Jou's crushing hug.
"Don't you mean that their friends that you can trust?" Jou asked.
"No, they aren't friends. They're two people I can manipulate until we're out of this mess," Seto said.
"You found two people that can help us with the press?" Jou asked.
"Sort of," Seto said.
Shizuka and Mokuba came out to greet Seto. "Nii-sama, welcome home," Mokuba said, "What took you so long at school?"
"Oh, nothing," Seto said, hugging her younger brother.
"Welcome home, Nee-chan," Shizuka said, "How was school today?"
"Pretty good, but when did you decide you'd call me Nee-chan?" Seto asked.
"Would you rather I call you mother?" Shizuka asked.
"Nee-chan is good," Seto said, then seeing something behind the younger teens' backs, "What is that?"
"Oh, we were just showing Jounouchi the permission slip for a Field Trip. The class we have together is going on and it's going to be over night," Mokuba explained handing his permission slip to his brother.
Seto gapped, "You're going to Washington D.C. for a field trip!"
The two younger teens smiled sheepishly. Mokuba tried to reason with Seto, "It'll be a good experience! And our entire class is going. Everything is already paid for and it's only going to be for five days."
"We'll always have our cellphones charged and available, we'll make sure not to talk to strangers and we promise to stay in as big of a group of friends or classmates as we can! Please, can we go?" Shizuka persuaded.
"Absolutely not," Seto said, "I can't control what you do and how do I know you aren't going to break that promise?"
"Just let them go, Se-chan," Jou said, "It's only five days and I once went on a field trip to England with Domino High. Just let them have some fun."(A/N: I'm referring to the story Never Poke a Sleeping Dragon. It's a very good story and I believe the author's username is SoloOrcha or something like that. It's Puppyshipping.)
Seto sighed, "Fine, you guys can go."
She signed Mokuba's permission slip while Jou signed Shizuka's and the two ran upstairs, hardly containing their excitement. Seto sighed again and thought, 'Damn, I'm only 16 and I already have two kids to look after.'
Later that day, after Seto had finished with work for the day, she went downstairs to get make some peach tea. While she was making it, she saw a sheet of paper folded on the counter. She picked it up and unfolded it. It said, 'Seta Kairi, we've taken Mokuba Kaiba hostage. If you ever want to see him again, you will go to the address written below.'
Seto scowled at the ransom note, gulped the rest of her tea and had Isono drive to the address as fast as he could. Once she got there, she stormed inside and found herself at an ice-skating rink. She had a confused look on her face. She wasn't expecting her brother's kidnapper to bring him here. An employee tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Hello, are you lost, ma'am?"
Seto turned to her and said, "Have you seen a boy that looks like he's in middle school with long black hair and greyish eyes?"
"I have, actually. He was with some guy and they headed off into the rink area, but if you want to get in there you'll have to rent a pair of skates to wear unless you have your own," the employee said.
"Ugh, just give me a size 8," Seto said, handing the woman a ten dollar bill.
Seto quickly tied on the skates and walked into the rink. There were many people on the ice and it seemed like there were even more off the ice. It was completely dark except for the spotlights and rave lights and music blasted through speakers all around the rink. Seto spotted Mokuba on the other side of the rink and she charged towards him. The second she got close enough for him to hear her she was pushed onto the ice. She wobbled for a second, trying to balance herself.
She slipped and grabbed onto the side of the rink, hoping she didn't look like a complete fool as much as she felt like one. Seto let go of the edge and scooted a bit away from it only to hit someone and cause both of them to fall. She opened her eyes to see Jounouchi on top of her, "What are you doing here, Jounouchi?"
"Uh, well what are you doing here?" Jou said.
"I came here to get Mokuba. I found a note that," Seto stopped for a second mid-sentence and said, "was made by you so you could get me to skate with you."
Jou scratched the back of his head, looking sheepishly, "Sorry, I didn't want to trick you, but Mokuba said you hated ice-skating. I just wanted to spend some time with you."
Jou let go of Seto, causing her to immediately lose her balance and latch onto him again, "And now you know why I hate skating. I tried to ice-skate a little bit a few years ago, but no matter how much I tried I couldn't do it."
"I could help you. I taught Shizuka how to ice-skate when she was younger and she skates like a professional now," Jou said proudly.
"There is no way I'm letting you teach me. It'd be way too embarrassing," Seto said, "Just think- me being taught by an idiot. And you know what will happen if someone recognizes us and decides to call the press. They'll come up with more horrid rumors about all four of us. We can't have that so we have to go."
Jou sighed, "Alright, I'll get Mokuba and you get Shizuka. She went to go get some hot cocoa."
"Good," Seto said, letting Jou get her off the ice and back on a non-slippery surface.
Seto went on her way to find Shizuka and Jou got Mokuba. Mokuba smiled at the blonde, "I told you Nee-sama hated to ice-skate. Always has; always will."
"I just wanted to try. I was shocked when you were okay with going along with this fake kidnapping scheme," Jou said, "Don't you think it'd be kind of confusing if Kaiba and Seta were in the same room and you called out to one?"
"Seto and Seta could never be in the same room," Mokuba muttered and said, "What do you mean?"
"You call Kaiba Nii-sama and Seta Nee-sama. I'd sure as hell be confused," Jou said.
"I just do, but they're so alike that they'd give me the same answer and reaction to whatever I was going to ask or say," Mokuba said.
Shizuka and Seto found Jounouchi and Mokuba and made their way home after Seto smacked Jou a couple of times for even thinking of such a scheme.
A few weeks had passed since then and, although things started to die down due to other highlights, they still had to be careful. "So Shizuka and I are going back to our house," Jounouchi said, "Thanks for letting us stay here for the past few weeks. It sure was hectic the first couple of days though."
"No kidding," Seto said, "I'll see you at school tomorrow."
"See you at school," Jou said, "Bye Mokuba."
"Bye Jounouchi, bye Shizuka," Mokuba said as the two siblings began mounting Jou's motorcycle.
"Bye you two- I'll see you at school Mokuba," Shizuka said waving.
After Jou had dropped off Shizuka and their stuff at their house, he went to work. Unfortunately, a game would be finishing in about half an hour and everyone in both teams were going to be showing up to eat as much pizza as they could. Fortunately, even if he was the only one that was going to be working at the time, he would make at least triple what he usually did from tips, and he usually got 40 dollars from that.
Ten minutes before the two teams arrived, two odd looking girls came in. They were both from Domino High, but they hadn't recognized Jounouchi. They sat down close enough for Jounouchi to hear them even though they were whispering.
The one with her blazer hanging off her shoulders said, "Even after knowing these past few weeks, I can't get over what's happened to Kaiba-sama."
"I'm sure you took it much better than I did, Emi-sama," Ren said, "I still can't believe that Seta Kairi girl is actually Kaiba-sama in switched gender. It's impossible to be transformed into the opposite sex by lightning, isn't it?"
"I don't know, but Kairi Seta isn't lying about her being Kaiba-sama and we just have to accept that. And just look at it this way. Kaiba-sama trusts us enough with his biggest secret in the entire world!" She realized her voice was getting loud and began whispering again, "We can't let it get out. If he is able to become a man again, which I so very hope because I need new pictures of him, he'll come to us if he needs help controlling the school. We'll be the envied of the entire Kaiba-sama fan club."
Jounouchi's eyes widened. Seta Kairi was Seto Kaiba! How could that be? Seta could act like Kaiba sometimes, but she could act so cute at times like when she tried to show off her strength. Then it hit him. Kaiba would always show off his strength and now that he was a girl he didn't have as much of it as he thought so he'd mess up! He had thought that his biggest rival was cute! Oh no, he even had sex with him! And he'd loved every second of it!
Jounouchi put his head in the freezer to cool off and help him think straight. 'That would mean that Kaiba's seen Shizuka without her top on from when we went swimming. That means that I fell in love with Kaiba. That would mean I made out with Kaiba in front of everyone. That would mean… oh, I don't know what it means!'
Jounouchi closed the freezer door and made his way to the table with Ren and Emi to take their orders before the two teams came. He'd have to talk to someone about it. He knew now why Shizuka had been acting weird at the pool when they all went. She'd figured it out! He felt so stupid. Yuugi had to know and Anzu was only told so that Kaiba's back story would be plausible. Of course Kaiba would tell Mokuba and now those two girls know. He figured that Pegasus also knew about Kaiba's transformation and came to help, but why hadn't Kaiba told him?
Jou shook his head and just prayed for his shift to be over so that he could ask Shizuka about it.
Once he slammed the door to the house Shizuka said, "Welcome home, Oni-chan. How was work?"
"I couldn't focus. I had something else on my mind from something two girls said and I need to talk to you about it," Jou said as he paced in front of the television, constantly bumping into the coffee table since he had his hand over his eyes to sooth them from the headache he had gotten from overthinking.
"Okay, so what do you need to talk about? Please don't tell me it's something about girls maturing," Shizuka said.
"No, no it doesn't have anything to do with that. I need to ask you something about Kaiba. First, when was the last time you saw him?" Jounouchi asked.
"I haven't seen him since Battle City," Shizuka said, "Why would you ask that? Do you think I'm secretly seeing him or something?"
"Why are you lying?" Jounouchi asked, "I know for a fact that you saw Kaiba when we went to the Kaiba Mansion."
"How could I have? I was with Mokuba the entire time, not Kaiba-san," Shizuka said, starting to get worried about her brother, "The only ones at the Kaiba Mansion were you, me, Mokuba, Seta and Pegasus."
"Why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't have done the things I did with Seta if I knew!" Jounouchi said, a bit angered, "You kept it a secret from me. You, Yuugi, Anzu, Mokuba, Pegasus and Kaiba all kept a secret from me and lied to me! Why couldn't you have just told me that Kaiba had turned into a girl! I did so many things with Kaiba, thinking he was someone else and ended up making love with him when he got drunk!"
"Oni-chan, calm down! I know you are good at keeping secrets, but I couldn't tell you because it was Kaiba-san's secret and he didn't trust you then as much as he does now!" Shizuka said, "Yes, Kaiba is Seta Kairi, but he didn't think it would escalate to what it did with you. His hormones were quickly transformed from male to female and he was probably confused about his feelings. I'm saying that, when you and Kaiba-san had sex, it meant something to him. I'm sure of it. He wouldn't have done that with you unless he really wanted to."
Jounouchi sighed, "I didn't mean to yell at you. I know that it was probably hard on Kaiba. It would be hard for me too. I just need to talk about this with Kaiba when I get used to the fact that he is Seta."
"Yeah, if you rush into talking about this with Kaiba-san then you'll end up saying something that you'll regret. Try and stay calm around Kaiba-san and pretend you still don't know to the best of your abilities," Shizuka yawned, "It's getting late so I'm going to go to bed. Good night, Oni-chan, don't stay up too late."
"Good night, Shizuka," Jounouchi said, "I'm going to take a shower and go to sleep afterward."
The next couple of days had been so hard for Jounouchi. Every time he saw Kaiba, a.k.a. Seta, he ended up being contradicted by at first wanting to hug and kiss her, but then wanted to pick a fight with her so he ended up doing neither. Every time Seto looked his way he felt his heart skip a beat and quicken, but he didn't know why. When Seto asked him if he wanted the rest of her lunch he grabbed it, realized who it was in front of him and dropped it, causing the food to cover his clothes in stains.
Every time he saw Seto, his voice would get caught in his throat. Finally, one Tuesday after school, Jounouchi had asked Seto to meet him on the roof after school. Jounouchi had waited for a minute, though it had felt like a year with everything that was going on in his mind. When Seto finally showed up, Jounouchi let out a silent sigh so that Seto wouldn't notice. Jounouchi had become even more aware of Seto's appearance ever since he found out that Seto was Seta.
Jounouchi kept noticing the school uniform's mini-skirt around Seto's hips and that she was wearing her uniform the way that the school wished for everyone to, just as Seto had done when she was a boy. The only reason Seto filled out the girl's uniform fairly well was because of her boobs, but that was it. The same thing happened when Seto was a boy. The uniform was so loose on the brunet, yet it complimented him so well.
Seto's voice snapped Jou out of his thoughts, "What did you want to talk to me about? You've been acting weird around me lately. What's the deal?"
"Uh, I have something I need to tell you and it's the reason I've been acting weird around you," Jou said.
"Well, what is it?" Seto asked.
Jou sighed, "I know that you're Kaiba. And don't try to deny it, because I know that Yuugi, Anzu, Mokuba, Shizuka, Pegasus and those two girls, Emi and Ren, know. I was able to get it out of Shizuka and after I've thought about it, it makes sense. I can't believe I didn't figure it out earlier. You're right about me being an idiot, but I…" Jounouchi sighed, "I need to talk to you about this, because we went out, got drunk and made love together. I'm sure that you were almost scared shitless about that, huh?"
Seto just stared at Jounouchi. What was she supposed to say? Was she supposed to just accept that Jou knew and keep going on as she had been? And now Jou knew that it was actually him that he had made love with and not made up Seta. Seto sighed, "I really wasn't expecting this. This would probably be as scarring as hearing I ended getting pregnant with your child. I thought I'd be able to figure this entire thing out before anyone else figured out who I really was, but I still haven't gotten anything. I've even been using resources through Kaiba Corp. but nothing has come up. This is one of the first times I'm stumped."
Jounouchi sighed in relief, "This went a lot smoother than I imagined. I just wanted you to know that I knew so that it wouldn't be awkward for us to be around each other."
"Well, I've got to pick Mokuba up from school so that he can get ready for his D.C. trip tomorrow," Seto shivered, "I can't believe I actually gave him permission to go. Well, see you tomorrow."
"Bye Kaiba," Jou said waving towards Seto until the door closed behind her.
Jou leaned against the fence surrounding the perimeter of the school's roof and began thinking about how he could help Seto transform back to his original body.
As Seto exited the school she saw Pegasus in a car waiting for her. Seto walked over and knocked on the window since Pegasus was occupied from reading a book. He looked up and smiled, waving happily. Seto got into the car next to him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I need to take you to see someone. They think they know a way to get your original body back," Pegasus said as he left the parking lot, "I asked Isono-san if he could go pick Mokuba up so you don't need to worry. Right now, we need to focus on you."
They sped down the street and Seto said, "Alright, but first I need to tell you something."
"Anything," Pegasus replied.
"Jounouchi found out that I'm Kaiba," Seto said a bit quickly.
Pegasus suddenly hit the breaks to the car and veered off to the side, somehow landing them in a street side parking space, similar to how they did in action movies. Pegasus turned to Seto with a shocked look on his face, "HE FIGURED IT OUT? HOW!"
"He was somehow able to get it out of his sister and he spoke to me about it today," Seto said, "Why are you so jumpy and loud about his knowledge of my situation?"
"You don't understand! If he knows then that just gives you an even smaller chance of turning back!" Pegasus exclaimed, "Ishizu and Malik are waiting for us at the museum. We need to get there as fast as possible so that we can talk to them about your problem."
(A/N: When you see Malik I mean the light side of Malik, not Melvin or Marik or Malik's Yami.) They finally got to the museum and found Malik and Ishizu. They greeted each other and Seto asked, "What the hell is so important about my problem that you two have to come out here just to see me?"
Malik and Ishizu exchanged glances and Ishizu said, "This is affecting your past lives as well, somehow."
Pegasus's eye went wide, but Seto just raised an eyebrow. Pegasus asked, "How is that possible?"
"We don't know," Malik said, "But Ishizu had a dream of her past life, Isis, and in it Seth- that's your past life, Seto- was a woman, not a man."
Seto rolled her eyes, "That's a bunch of bull. Not only do you not have any proof, but that doesn't really affect my past life."
"That's where you're wrong, Kaiba-san," Ishizu said, "You're past life, Seth, had given birth to the child of the Pharaoh, meaning Atemu or as you call him Yami. And the stone tablet I showed you when I first gave you Obelisk also changed Seth to have a womanly figure. Just look for yourself."
The four looked over to the large stone tablet and sure enough it showed the priest that Ishizu claimed was Seto's past life as a priestess. Then realizing what Ishizu had said before that, Seto felt horrified, "You're trying to say that in a past life I fell in love with Yami and gave birth to his… was it a boy or a girl?"
"It was a boy," Ishizu said, "You did fall in love with him, but that doesn't matter right now. We need you to turn back into a man so that Atemu's heir is no longer in existence."
"What's so bad about Yami-boy having an heir to Ancient Egypt?" Pegasus asked.
"It's starting to mess with the fabric of time, starting with this tablet," Ishizu said pointing to where Atemu's name was supposed to be written, "It used to be eroded away, but Atemu's name is right there. That means he was remembered in time through his son. And his son knew of him because Atemu was alive to watch him grow up. That means that Yami and Bakura will most likely start to forget things until they, along with the Millennium Items, slowly disappear."
Malik spoke, "That means Yuugi will have never become friends with Honda and Jounouchi and Duelist Kingdom, Battle City and even the game Duel Monsters will have never happened in this time period."
"You're saying all of that happened just because my past life and I were somehow transformed into women?" Seto asked.
"That's correct," Ishizu said with her brother nodding his head.
"Give me an effing break," Seto said, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow, "That's impossible. How could all of that happen just because I turned into a girl? All you've done is told me what will happen if I stay a girl, but how do I turn back into a man?"
"How long have you been a girl?" Ishizu asked.
"Um, I think it was two or three days before Jounouchi's birthday, meaning January 22nd or 23rd that I was turned into a girl," Seto said thinking out loud.
Malik looked straight into Seto's eyes, putting a hand on Seto's shoulder, "Would it be tragic if I said that you only had six days to try and get your body back or you'll stay a girl forever?"
Seto's eyes widened, "I only have six days? That means I'd have until Mokuba's last day on his D.C. trip."
"With that, it's easier to keep track since you always want to know how long it'll be until Mokuba is brought back to you," Pegasus said.
"You still haven't answered what I asked! What do I have to do?" Seto asked angrily.
"You have to get Jounouchi to fall in love with you as a man," Ishizu said.
Seto's face looked as if she was saying, 'THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE! Are you serious or just trying to get me and Jounouchi together!'
"What does that even mean?" Pegasus asked.
Malik spoke, "It means that Seto has to tell Jounouchi that he is Seta Kairi-."
"I already did that," Seto said, "Well, he found out on his own, but either way he still knows so go on."
"Well that's good," Malik said, "Now that he knows, you need him to fall in love with you for you even though you're a man. You need him to wish that you become a man and the wish needs to be sincere."
"Ugh, you've got to be kidding me!" Seto said, "Might as well say good bye to the way this world is and call me Haruhi Suzumiya. There is no way Jounouchi will fall in love with me!"
Malik and Pegasus smirked, "Oh, I don't know about that, Seto-boy. Jounouchi was in love with Seta Kairi for more than just her looks. So the only difference between Seto Kaiba and Seta Kairi are the genders and a couple of letters."
"Oh ha, thanks for the side of comedy, Pegasus," Seto said sarcastically, "So now what should I do?"
"You need to talk to Jounouchi about this and let him know about the situation. Maybe let him stay over at your house to make the process faster," Ishizu suggested.
"Alright, I'll tell him tomorrow at school and after school we'll go to my place and try and work everything out," Seto said, "If that's it I'd like to leave now."
"We wish for the best," Malik said, "Have a safe trip home."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go Pegasus," Seto said as she and the silver haired man left.
End of Tuesday- Start of Wednesday- 5 days left
The next day after Seto and Jounouchi had said goodbye to their younger siblings after school, Seto stopped Jounouchi and told him everything that happened. Jounouchi told Seto to get on the back of his motorcycle and they rode to the Kaiba Mansion. Once they got inside they sat in the living room that Mokuba and Seto used most. "Lay down," Jounouchi ordered.
"Why do I need to-," Seto tried to ask.
Seto was pushed and pinned down onto the couch by Jounouchi, her hands above her head. Seto was a bit shocked, "Jounouchi, what are you doing?"
"I'm doing what you want me to. I'm showing you my love for you," Jounouchi stated as if it was obvious.
He bent down and pecked a kiss on Seto's lips. Jou slowly kissed his way down to Seto's neck, causing Seto to shiver. Seto's back arched, causing Seto's stomach and crotch to grind with Jounouchi's and for them to moan. Jounouchi slipped his hand up Seto's skirt, causing Seto to gasp. She was able to free one of her hands from Jounouchi's grasp and push Jou away with it, "S-stop it, Jounouchi! We can't do this, not like this!"
Jounouchi stopped and sat up, leaving enough room for Seto to still lie down, "I- I'm sorry, Seto. I thought that was what you wanted me to do. I don't want things to change from the way they are now, so of course I want you to become a guy again. I don't know what I'm supposed to do."
"I don't either," Seto said, sitting up while fixing his skirt, "They didn't explain very well, those two Egyptian bastards. All I know is that we both have to be ready for this and we both have to actually love each other. You have to love me as a man, not a woman."
"Man, it's going to be a little hard for me, but with the way we were just going we might get there," Jounouchi said.
"What do you mean? The way we make out?" Seto asked, "Jounouchi we've had sex before and liked it, of course we're going to be like that when we make out."
"You really liked how it felt? I loved being in control," Jounouchi said, "I wonder what it'd be like being inside of you again when we're both completely sober."
"What did I just get after you for!" Seto said angrily.
"Alright, I know. I'll just wait until the time is right," Jounouchi said, "So should I leave or-."
"No, I was thinking it'd be best for you to stay here until we solved this mess," Seto said, "I'm going to go upstairs and work on some stuff for Kaiba Corporation. You can go in Mokuba's video game room and play around for a while or do something, but I'd like it if you'd sleep in my room with me until the six days are up."
Jounouchi smiled. "Alright," He stood up and took Seto's hand in his, holding him tight as they walked, "Show me the way to this arcade so that I don't end up lost."
"Okay," Seto said, and they were both on their way.
IT'S ALMOST THE END OF SETA KAIRI! I can't believe it. I made this plot twist in seconds, which astounded even me. It might sound kind of corny, but I was listening to Yugioh the Abridged series when it came up and it ended up sounding a bit corny to me, but that's how I'm going to write it. I'm sorry I've taken so long to finish this chapter. I've been working on school and then I'm working on other stories. You know how it is. Thinking up something you think is amazing, but then you try and write it and all you've gotten is corniness and brain farts. Such as one where I'm trying to do a cross-over with KHR (Katekyo Hitman Reborn) and Ouran High School Host Club. I've gotten really into Dino and Hibari as a couple and they remind me of Haruhi and Tamaki so yeah.
Now I'm rambling! Oh no! Anyway, thanks so very much for reading up to this point and putting up with me and my procrastination! *Gives everyone an invisible bucket of Halloween Candy* Have fun!
