…Either you give Lala-chan to me or I'll take this earthling and have my way with her!
And the day was so calm and quiet...
I woke around 6 as usual, with Lala in my bed, also as usual. I don't really mind, and while some of my moms might complain, kaa-san said if there is any problem then they should keep Fuuko and Aoshi in separate rooms before saying anything. Besides I'm a girl, if in body only, now.
"Good Morning Lala-chan."
"Uh… Morning Kaien-chan."
"Kaien-kun, please?" I got up, and changed in my uniform. "Did you stay awake much later last night? You look kinda tired." She stills drowsy, and have light bags under her eyes. For Lala, that is quite something.
"A few hours. Finished a new invention too." And delivered a sentence without exclamation… Situation is bad.
"Why the rush, you need to sleep properly you know."
"You…" She yawned while stretching, "Always complain about being a girl, so I built something to fix it…" She shook her head to get rid of cobwebs and got up. Then she, still completely undressed (is quite difficult to ignore, even in this form), pointed something distinctly gun-like in my room's desk. "
"Well, it's worth a try." I mean, she is a genius! Let's be optimistic here. " What could possibly go wrong!"
She zapped me and wow! I got my junk back! "Lala, I LOVE YOU!"
"What is it with all this noise!" Arika-nee, my "sister next door", invade in time to catch my old, restored self. "Look nee-chan, I'm a boy again!"
She blinks. Again. "Wow. But, how?"
"Lala made a gender-swap device!"
"And you tested in YOURSELF! Way to go nii-san. You still surprise me with your 'uncommon' sense." Kyon snarks from the door. "I'm happy for you though." He adds as an afterthough.
"It worked okay." I ignore my killjoy of a brother, but I couldn't restrain myself. "Look Dad, Moms, Brothers and Sisters… I AM A BOY AGAIN!"
"Soo? Why are you so happy for? Those were some nice breasts you had, you're stupid for giving up a pair like those for some useless-" Sakuya covered her own mouth shyly, "Sorry about that nii-san. What Yin means is that… well… she is happy for you."
"It's okay imouto, I know she didn't mean it…"
Her face darkens a bit… "Oh but I did. Is not like you're enough of a man to use-" She made a face that I thought she was going to cry "Sorry, she is getting out of control recently, and I don't know why…" And she left.
I did feel for her, but even with that couldn't keep the smile out of my face. So, after my happiest breakfast of these days, I depart to school.
"Wait for me, Schoolmates! I'm back! And nothing can ruin my day!"
…
"Go ahead, there is nothing to grope there Lisa-chan." I told my best friend in class. She is nice, open minded (she discovered about dad's harem and only asked when I was getting one too). But have this little, bad habit that remembers me of auntie Yukari. She gropes other girls. Since I was one until today morning, well…
"How?" Really, why everyone asks that? Oh right, people don't usually change genders…
"I told you I was a boy, remember?" I try to look at her over my shoulder.
"And I told you that you were disillusioned. Really, I ok with Les-"
"Yeah, I'm too, some of my sisters are. Just don't say it in front of them…"
"Right, so that means you got something down there…" She lowered her hands…
"Lisa! Not here, not in the school!"
"What are you perve-" Kotegawa, Lala and Haruna entered the class from the to look at us in that position. Haruna blushed crimson, Lala tilted her head in confusion, but Kotegawa, well… "YOU TWO PERVERTS! That is not a proper behavior of students! Remove your hands from her, erm his? How? No! Remove your hands now or-" Kotegawa was torn between confused, angry and embarrassed…
"Will you dare to remove them yourself?" Leaving room for Lisa tease her.
"Look, you… confirmed what you wanted to know," I try to keep my cool, no sense in giving her more reasons to tease me (I learned my lessons with Karin) "Can you let me go now? I kinda need to go to the restroom…"
Before she gets another teasing remark in, I left the room. I'm kind of used to THAT, I don't know if it's because of my family, of if I simply like the contact of a girl's body with mine. But to feel her, for a lack of a better term, embrace in my natural body was something else.
To think that started as a normal school year…
"So, how was your day son?" Father asked me during dinner, He is more annoyed than usual, but that might be the fact that Gil-oji-san cooked today. Or the five guests in the room, including the fools I knocked out the other night…
"Strange. Lala can made teleport devices, Arika is PMSing as always, And I'm still reacting to Haruna-chan. Can it get worse?" Kyon's fork misses his plate and embedded in the table at my question.
"Didn't Lala winged you? You even said that your control got better."
"She did winged me, yet somehow, I'm still reacting to Haruna-chan."
"And Received a love letter from Yasuna." Kiri spoke from his side while fishing another plate of fried locusts and barley bread from the table. I still refuse to eat an insect, even if is considered a culinary delicacy in an extinct empire.
"Lucky bro! So you're getting your harem finally?" Aoshi congratulate me.
"Not yet Ao, how is Kei adapting?" He cringe at my question. That bad, huh? "And father, why are those guys over there?"
"The one in armor is called Zastim, and those two are his subordinates, all of the are Lala's bodyguards. They arrived shortly after her, but you were unconscious. The other in the alien costume was the one who hit you with his spaceship. He assumed the name of Sora Hitomi, and the girl with pink hair is Janpuu, the spaceship control system."
"What! Why are they staying here? Couldn't you simply shoo them?"
"That is not how a proper host should act son." Miya-kaa-san corrected me. "Now why lie about you reacting to a girl when there is no need? We will still support you if you choose to have a polygamous relationship should you choose to."
"I'm not lying! Tell them Arika, Kiri, you both saw it!"
"Yes, he didn't seem normal…" Arika allowed.
"~I have the recording~" Matsu-kaa-san singsonged. "You really know how to land!" I blush at the memories…
"Can I see?" Dad asked calmly.
Matsu-kaa-san plays it at the dinner room screen. Some of my brothers and sister cheer, others blush, Sakuya (the Yin) even propose a toast to my 'falling skills'…
"Why root allows these mongrels to keep finding women and starting to spawn more mongrels to give me trouble…" I heard Uncle Gil mutters.
"We have to research this carefully," Dad says to Miya-kaa. "If Half-Sekirei can react to more than one person…"
"The harems will not be an Emiya-only trademark!" Karin mock-finished from her seat, only to be hit in the head by Keiko. "Shut it." "Saiai (beloved, darling) is so~o violent, I fear for when she finally decide to ravish me…" Keiko's brow just twitched.
Dad shook his head, in sync with Uzume and Chiho (and that is quite disturbing to see) "Someday it could create problems to him and the others."
"I WON'T ALLOW IT!" The one dad pointed as Zastim rose from his seat, "IF THIS UNWORTHY HUMAN PLANS TO BETRAY LALA-SAMA, I WILL… NO! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL FOR LALA-SAMA'S HONOR!"
"Zastim-san," Dad, Miya, Takeshi and Chiho said unison, and the air darkened, "shouting in the table is…forbidden!" we closed our eyes knowing all so well what is to happen.
On a second thought, any time at my house will NEVER be normal…
I chuckle at the memory, and distracted as I was, I bumped into someone, better yet, some girl, and fell on top of her…Typical me. Since I became a girl my balance have been off, but even back to a boy, it didn't get any better.
"Who are you? I think I know you, but…" I rose and offer her a hand.
"Yasuna?" I felt myself blushing. I have more or less evaded her since the love letter thing, and 15 days are kind of a long time. But if she really swings that way, and Karin said she probably did, well, I don't want to be a girl forever so…
"Who are you?" She asked me. I'm not that different as a boy (much to my chagrin), why she didn't recognize me?
"Kaien. You know, the boy who got gender-bent into a girl by crazy aliens..." Who live in my house now? How many more space races will end up in our home?
"Uh. Sorry didn't saw you." She said sadly.
"Wait! Erm, about that letter… I… will not be a girl forever, and since you like girls…"
"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" She ran past me crying. Damn, I'm still no good with this. And I can't even try and fix it…
I enter the toilet. The girl in front of me turns, and looks at me for a second, then scream "PERVERT!"
OH, I'm a boy again! OPS!
I got hit, I think, and black out.
…
I come to my senses again, on the infirmary, with a beautiful lady looking at me…
"I was starting to think you were dying on me." She joked.
"Nah, we Emiyas do not die when we're killed." I joke about something my father told me once.
"I fail to see a human that is capable of that…" She looked at me curiously for a moment, "Or an alien, for that matter."
"How did you?"
She pulled her hair back, revealing a set of pointy ears, "Easy, when I'm not from earth myself… Dr. Ryouko Mikado, pleased to meet you..."
"Kaien Emiya."
"Weird name for a Memorzan."
"Memo-what?"
"Are you not from Memorze planet?" She looked at me more closely. I on the other hand, try to prevent my eyes to stare down her generous cleavage.
"I'm from earth, but I'm a Sekirei descendant… Why?"
"Sekirei! That almost extinct species? Wait. How do you change genders then?" She closes even more. I look down and surely, my breasts are back. Maybe I must remain conscious to Lala's ray keep working. But I can ask her later.
"Erm, that will be long story…"
"I see… Well, you got quite a hit in the head, so is better if you lay for a while. If you need anything, I'm right there. And do tell me that story later, I'm quite interested." She winked at me.
I lay down, and Yasuna pops on my mind again… Isn't that I don't want to accept her, but I can't, dammit!
… a few days after…
"What the heck is happening home?" Kiri asked. Another explosion rocks the building, and flashes of light were seen through some of the windows…
"Dunno. Did Negi's harem come to visit again?" I ask absentmindedly. Come on! Is not like that doesn't happen every weekend and some anyway!
"If I was to hazard a guess, I would say that is more like Nanoha's stuff…" Aoshi commented.
"COME BACK HERE LITTLE PERVERT!" Echoes through the building. Definitely Asuna.
"Ala Alba that is. Looks like you own me money, Bro." I jibe at him.
"Who said we were betting?"
"Aren't you always?" Kiri asked with a raised eyebrow. Aoshi just throw him a dirty look.
A little kid jumps through the window, with Asuna hot in his heels, and slide under Primy, while a not so lucky red-head collides with the white beast. Said pet turn to her and pic her harisen in his mouth, lowers his front legs and waves his tail, barking happily.
"Give my artifact back, you oversized puppy!" Asuna shouts indignantly, while Primy jumps around her barking to draw her attention.
All the while the kid jumps in front of us, and start to look at me and Arika with an innocent look that makes me think of Karin, which is never a good sign…
"Soo, you're the one my daughter has chosen… Kind of a skinny kid." He eyed Aoshi up and down. "I will never understand Lala's taste, as always…"
"You're Lala's DAD!"Arika asked in surprise. "Wait! Did you eat any colored candies?" I nod at the possibility.
"Actually, Lala has chosen me." I step up. Whatever his size, "I'm Kaien Emiya sir…" It always pays to be polite. Especially if someone fed him that pills.
"I'm Gid Lucion Devilluke, King of the universe." He answers absentmindedly, "So Lala like girls. That's why the marriage arrangements never worked…." King? Of the ENTIRE universe? WOW! Either he is megalomaniac or…
"Is a pleasure...your Majesty." Kiri bows. I follow suit (after a not so light nudge from him).
He pats my head "Soft spoken and polite, even being from a clan of warriors… I like it! Maybe you could even be my successor…" then his grip tightens on my scalp, and he forces me to face him, "But beware youngling: Break my beloved daughter's heart, and I'll break you, this family of yours and this tiny planet." the sheer power irradiating from him made sure to show it was NOT an empty threat…
"Yes sir, I got it!"
"By the way, Zastin mentioned a duel…" The chibi-sized King's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
… Later on the dojo…
"So it will be a knock-out duel?" I ask the armor clad alien.
"You will pay for betraying Lala, earthling scum." The armor-clad alien taunted.
I try to control my temper, and focus myself. "I'm ready."
He steps forward quickly and surely, but not as fast as father or some of moms, delivering a punch with his right hand which I sidestep, rotating my body in an axe-kick, but he steps back, in a style that remember a mix of boxing and European sword styles. Lala cheers for me from the sidelines, much to his dismay, along with some of my more energetic siblings.
The armor clad bodyguard attacks again, with a stepping left punch aimed at my right side, and this time instead of evading, I catch it with my right hand, planning to deliver a direct hit to his face and end the fight…
I was the wrong move.
I felt my hand protest, and hit my left side, throwing me in the air like sack of potatoes. I spun in the air and his right hand closed in aiming for my head, ready to finish the job, forcing me to try a gamble, creating a blast of hot air in front of me allowing me to evade his right hook. Luckly I was successful and landed a bit uneasy on my feet, but otherwise only moderately singed.
"Is that everything? Cause, you sure look like you only hit yourself with that trick back there." My enemy taunted. He closed his eyes and shook his head, an unforgivable mistake when fighting an unknown opponent. I dash forward, and throw a direct punch at his face despite the protest of my side and hand… It hits home. But my opponent doesn't even move.
He opens his eye and look at me "Is that all your strength? I should have not evaded since the beginning. I barely felt that!" He backhands me a few meters back. "Earthlings are so~o weak!" He continued, "What makes you think you deserve Lala-sama?" I felt my blood boil, and the air heat around me. Some of my siblings face darkens, but they do not move.
I rise again.
"Why so quiet? Did I hurt you that much?"
I won't use my powers on him. It will only prove my weakness, and will beat the purpose of this test. I hold on my rage and focus myself… He is stronger, but I'm faster. My balance is a bit off in this body… But I got an idea.
I dash once more and he don't even move his feet, choosing to backhand me again with his right hand.
I duck his attack, and touch the floor with my left hand. Using my momentum, I roll in the floor, mule kicking him in the chin. He is thrown back a bit, but otherwise unharmed. I follow the attack with a hit from my right leg, this time aiming at his stomach. He doubles a bit and I stretch both of my legs and roll away from him.
It will work. I reinforce myself.
He come at me, right hand cocked back to deliver a direct punch, and instead of blocking again I roll my arms into his, positioning myself inside of his guard, and use the combo I saw Karasuba-kaa-san use against Yume-kaa-san when she got disarmed. Left-Elbow the armpit, spin 90 degrees getting side-by-side with him, backhand his nose up, then I spin my body diagonally, supporting it my weight on my left hand, and deliver an axe-kick in the back of his neck, then I reverse the spin back, bending the supporting knee to lower my stance, and sweep low taking the enemy's footing from him, stopping sideways, and righting my body and all the while raising my right hand to deliver a powerful hook to the chin.
The alien challenger impacts the floor, and tries to rise again, only to fail. "…whatever he learned, he learned by himself." I hear Karasuba-kaa-san say to dad from the sidelines. Then she turns to me. "The sweep was a bit off, and the kick was a bit weak, but I give you an 8 overall."
"Uh, thanks." She smiles that disturbing smile of her in response.
"Impressive, kid." King Gid compliments me. "There are not so many races that could stand a trained devilukean in hand-to-hand combat. You are acceptable as her fiancée, but you will have to deal with the other candidates. And if anything happens to her…"
"I get it sir."
He goes away chatting about my brother and some Time-Space Agency-Something with my father, and Lala tackles me by my side…
"THAT WAS AMAZING! He pow! And you swoosh, and then he pow and you arghh, and then you…" Each 'sentence' was accompanied by her punching, evading, and gesticulating in an exaggerated form.
"Erm thanks Lala-chan."
"Maybe if you train hard you can get as strong as dad." She commented off-handedly. So her dad IS even stronger huh? Not an empty threat for sure…
…Back in present time…
I'm screwed. If I leave Yasuna be I'm a jerk. If I go and try to fix it I might doom the earth.
And the girls are thinking I'm a pervert, since I simply got in the girls bathroom. Yep, it can't get worse than that. It's impossible.
I heard a muffled gasp down the corridor.
In hindsight, it can always get worst, in this case we only needed a D.I.D.
I follow up the sounds, leading me to a locked storage room. A concentrated burst of fire in the lock, and I simply enter like it was open in first place.
A big and bulky alien with horns, bluish skin and frog-like face stood there stunned at my appearance, and behind him, Lala and Haruna bind by what appears to be some sort of tentacle monster. My blood boils like fire in my veins.
"Hohohoho! Look at the beauty that came here! You dear are a jewel that I'm taking!"
I look to one side, than another. No one here. Yep, is me.
"Not interested. Could you release my friends peacefully?" I say it only 'cause I was raised this way. Inside, I want him to say no, so I can make his face into charcoal.
"Come on. I researched Lala's fiancée and discovered a beautiful girl like you, infatuated with not only one, but two lovely ladies… I was delighted by this forbidden relationship!" He make a delighted face, and I took a page of my mother's book: Instead of a bright slap, I close my fist and try to put it through his left eye socket.
I only partially succeed, for his face is soft as a balloon. His body is thrown back, and suddenly shrinks turning child-like. He drops to his knees: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't kill me!" And run away like the devil was on his heels.
"Coward." I find myself mumbling while helping Lala and Haruna down. Both of them were unconscious and quite undressed, leaving no doubts what that shameless things that guy was planning.
"That is all you have?" Another voice entered the door. "You might as well give up and resign to a member of my harem." This alien, unlike the other, wasn't bulkier, but had a dangerous aura. That and he were armed with a gun like device.
"Yes," his eyes followed mine, "I'm armed, and if you refuse to come peacefully, I will use force. Master's orders were clear: bring the girl and leave no witnesses. I can kill you or take you with-"
…
Kotegawa was calming herself, after a verbal spar with that shameless girl, Lisa. As far as she was concerned, that girl and her friend, are nothing but shameless exhibitionists, groping each other in the class-
Kaboom! An explosion rocked the building, coming from the lower floor.
She did what was her duty as a defender of moral and good behavior: she called the authorities.
…
The enemy this time was good, leaving no openings, and even when surprised in mid speech, he escaped unharmed. Luckily his weapon was projectile-based making my magic defenses efficient against his attacks. Good thing, since I was forced to rely on it for the fact that I was between Lala, Haruna and our wanna be abductor.
Another shot bounced my shield, and hit the outer wall. I respond with a fireball to his face, as a distraction, while aiming another at his torso. He fell for the trick and doubled as his body was heavily singed, and I threw another aiming it at his back, but he evades, and jump through the window. "I'll be-" I throw a parting fireblast at his turned head, silencing the fool. And go get the girls down.
Only for Kotegawa to enter the door, and see me with my hands at Haruna's hips…
"What in the name of Kami, heaven or hell are you doing?"
You know what? I might as well give up. It rea~ally can't get worst, can it?
