Disclaimers: That's it. No more disclaimers. Just see the previous chapters.
"Kagami-kun,I'm hungry. Please hurry up" Kuroko urged Kagami,one hand holding a fork,the other held a knife. It's actually didn't make any sense since they were having traditional japanese breakfast and they were supposed to use chopsticks.
"Geez,it's almost done. Be patient!" was all his reply.
"Here" Kagami placed a tray in front of Kuroko. On the tray,there were a big bowl of miso soup,four boiled eggs cut into halves,a large piece of fried fish,a super big dish of cucumber salad,a pack of dry seaweed and a bowl full of rice.
Kuroko stared at the tray,and then at Kagami-kun "Kagami-kun,you couldn't have expected me to finish all of this,couldn't you?"
"Eh,that won't be enough for you now,you know" Kagami pointed his chopsticks at Kuroko.
"If you say so…" Kuroko started to dig in.
They ate in silent until Kagami decided to speak up.
"How is it? This's the first time I've made a traditional Japanese breakfast so…"
"It's really good. Uhm,but a real traditional Japanese breakfast doesn't have cucumber salad,Kagami-kun"
"I know that. But I don't have pickles so I use that instead"
"Why did you make Japanese breakfast anyway? I thought returnees like Kagami-kun prefer eegs and bread"
"I just thought you would prefer this" Kagami stated rather innocently,mouth still stuffed with food. He didn't know what he'd said made Kuroko extremely happy.
Kagami-kun,why do you always care for me like that? Kuroko blushed a little,and of course it went unoticed by Kagami. "Western breakfast is fine" he muttered.
They quickly finished their meal. Kuroko helped Kagami wash the dishes.
"Oi,Kuroko,about lunch,do you want to eat out?"
"Eh,why?" Kuroko asked,rather dissapointed. Really,to Kuroko,Kagami's cooking is always the best (no,seriously,even his gradmother or mother couldn't cook as good as him).
"My refrigerator is emty now. And your clothes is still being washed so I can't go out now"
"Then,I'll go shopping for you"
"Eh,can you do it?"
"Kagami-kun,I'm not a kid. I can go shopping if you write me a list. Beside,I really don't want to eat out with your body. My wallet might take revenge on me by cursing me"
"What's with that logic?! Whatever,I'll give you a list later. By the way,how should I deal with this ridiculous bed head?" Kagami asked as he placed the last plate on the rack.
"Just leave it,it'll return to normal soon" Kuroko answered.
Kuroko sit on the couch while waiting for Kagami to write him a shopping list.
"Here,list of things to buy" Kagami handed Kuroko a piece of paper and a card "Just pay with that credit card"
Kuroko stared at Kagami. What kind of high school student have a credit card of his own?! (really,Kuroko? He gave you a golden ring for your birthday!)
Kagami had never liked Saturday mornings for a sole reason: he had to clean his entire house on Saturday mornings. He had to help his mother clean the house every Sunday back in the States. It became a habit he couldn't break.
"Here we go again" Kagami sighed as he tied and fastened his headscarf. He pulled out a vaccum cleaner out of nowhere and started vacuuming the living room,then moved to the kitchen,his bedroom,Kuroko's room,…wait,since when did that become Kuroko's room?! Not like he minded. Next,he would dust the ceiling. It was an difficult task with his current height. While he was dusting the ceiling,a beeping sound came out from the washing machine. Ah,guess it's time to hang out the laundry. He got the clothes out of the washing machine and put them into a basket. He then brought the basket to the balcony. He tried to hang the clothes,but he couldn't reach the clothesline. Maybe if I use the ladder…no,I'd have to move it countless time if I want to hang all of these… he eyed the pile of clothes in the basket. Too much work,I'll ask Kuroko to do it when he get back. Ah,but I've to dry his clothes,or else I won't be able to meet up with everyone this afternoon. Kagami took Kuroko clothes and hang them on the window in his room. He then went on with the chores.
"4 packs of hotdog,3 packs of frozen catfish,3 cabbages,5 packs of ham,2 cans of oil,4 dozens of eggs,half a kilo of fresh beef,…is he planning to cook for an army?" Kuroko muttered as he read the list while walking on the street. Kagami-kun is such a bastard. A loaded bastard. Eventually,he arrived at the supermarket. After paying for everything,Kuroko carried ten plastic bags full of groceries back to Kagami's apartment.
"Ne,don't you think that guy look kind of scary"
"Scary,you said? I don't know,I think he's pretty cute carrying a bunch of groceries like that. Like mommy's boy"
"Wow,what's with him,does he have monster as a pet or something? That's a lot of groceries"
Is it me or everyone is staring at me? Kuroko pretended like he didn't pay attention but he was actually trying his best to hear what people said.
"Kagami-kun,I'm back with the groceries" Kuroko didn't knock or pressed the bell because both of his hand were holding plastic bags.
"Ah,thank you. Give me some bags,I'll help" Kagami said as he opened the door. They carried the bags inside.
"Are you doing chores" Kuroko asked when he noticed Kagami was wearing a red headscarf.
"Yeah,but it's kind of difficult doing chores with your body. I usually be done by now"
"Let me help then"
"Heh,I'll make you help me even if you don't ask" Kagami smirked
And so,Kuroko and Kagami clean the house together. Kagami gave Kuroko a light blue headscarf so that dust wouldn't get on his hair. It's almost noon and they still hadn't finished.
"Kagami-kun,I'm hungry"
"Eh,it's not even noon yet. Uhm,I guess you did eat a light breakfast"
"…I ate twice as much as you,Kagami-kun"
"And what makes you think that's enough?"
"You are such a glutton"
"Why states the obvious,Kuroko?" Kagami smirked (again)
"Can you stop doing that?"
"Stop doing what?"
"Smirking with my face"
"Sorry,I don't want to turn into an expressionless guy like you"
"Is that a compliment?"
"What do you think?!"
"Maybe not. That aside,Kagami-kun,I'm hungry"
"Geez,I know. Fine,we'll continue after lunch"
Kagami cooked,they ate,they went back with the chores.
"Oi,Kuroko! Hang out the laundry will ya?"
.
.
.
Kuroko and Kagami lied on the shiny,super clean floor,gaping for air when they were done cleaning the house.
"Kagami-kun,you house is too big"
"And your body are too weak"
"I feel tired too. That means your body is also weak"
"You're just not used to it"
"Kagami-kun,I need Pocari. Please get me some"
"No way,I'm exhausted"
"Kagami-kun,please. I might die" Kuroko looked at Kagami with eyes that resembled Nigou when asking for food.
"Tch,since when did getting you a drink become my job" Even though he said that,he still got up to get him Pocari.
When Kagami was at the kitchen,he took a glance at the watch. He brought two bottles of Pocari back to the where Kuroko was lying,the living room.
"Here" Kagami pressed the cold bottle against Kuroko's cheek.
"Ah! Thank you Kagami-kun" Kuroko's eye shut at the contact against the bottle. He took the bottle from Kagami,opened the bottle cap and eagerly drank it's content.
"Oi,Kuroko,when must we meet up with everyone again?" Kagami took a gulp after he asked.
"Uhm,if I remember correctly,Akashi-kun told us to meet at 2 p.m" Kuroko answered him
Kagami almost choked. He coughed.
"Are you ok?" Kuroko asked worryingly.
"Shit,it's one fifty already" Kagami cursed.
"Kagami-kun,we should run there. Now"
Kuroko stood up and pulled Kagami up with him. Kagami,being the smaller one,was easily pulled up even though he didn't want to. Kuroko put the bottle on the table and walked to the door. Kagami had no choice but to follow him after he had changed into Kuroko's uniform.
They fast-walked to the park. When they arrived,everyone was already there,sans Akashi. Momoi was the first one to notice the two. Well,noticed Kuroko and then eventually noticed Kagami. It seemed their presence 'stayed' in their bodies. Momoi ran to them while waving cheerfully at them. She jumped on Kagami and clinged onto him.
"I missed you so much,Tetsu-kun"
"What the hell?! Let me go!" Kagami pushed her off.
"Eh…Ah,sorry Kagamin. I forgot!" Momoi clasped her hand over her mouth,her eyes widen.
"Momoi-san" Kuroko nodded at Momoi as a greetings.
Momoi's eyes sparkled as she squealed "Tetsu-kunnn!". She ran to Kuroko and hugged him tightly. She let go right after though. "It doesn't feel right,ne" She looked at him sadly. Kuroko smiled at her and ruffled her hair "It's ok,Momoi-san. Everything will return to normal soon". She looked at him affectionately,and jump to him again. "Aahhh,you're still as cool as ever" she squealed. When Momoi had let go,Kuroko turned to the group and bowed "Good afternoon,everyone". Everyone stop talking and turn to the duo,ah,trio (including Momoi). Everyone had different reaction.
"Yo"_Kiyoshi
"You're too late! And why are you in your uniform,Kuroko?"_Hyuuga
"Geez,why did you come late together anyway?"_Riko
"Konichiwa~ Kurokochi"_Kise waved and winked.
"Tch,can't believe you came later than me,Tetsu"_Aomine
"Lucky for you,Akashi hasn't come yet. Aquarius has the worst luck today,you'd better be careful"_Midorima
"Ah,there you are"_Koganei
"Good afternoon,Kuro-chin~"_Murasakibara
And many more greetings.
Tch,GoM bastards ignored me_Kagami felt annoyed.
"Sorry to keep you waiting" Akashi walked to them.
"You're late again" Midorima stated
"I had some business to take care of. Don't mind that,let's get going. And Tetsuya,why are you in your uniform?"
"Long story,Akashi-kun" Kuroko didn't want to tell Akashi he stayed over at Kagami's place. Who knows what Akashi will do to him if he finds out.
Everyone followed Akashi and left the park. They were a noisy group.
"Eh,Akashi-kun,last time we went the other way" Riko said
"Don't worry,this way we lead us there faster" Akashi calmly replied.
Are you sure? How can you know Tokyo better than me? Riko wanted to ask but she kept silent.
"I thought you would jump to us like Momoi when you saw us" Kagami said to Kise,who was walking by his side.
"I planned to do that at first,but then you emmited a strange aura that I remembered Kurokochi is in your body now. So,either I hug you in his body or him in your body. No offense,Kagamichi,but both option are impossible for me" Kise sighed. "Beside,I've just met him yesterday,so my Kurokochi charge is still full"
"Kurokochi charge? What the hell is that?"
"I'm surprise you don't know,Kagamichi" Kise smirked "After all,you and I are the same,we can't live without it"
"Hah,what're you talking about? I can survive as long as I have basketball,food and air"
"Are you an idiot?!" Kise face-palmed
"Maybe I need water too?" Kagami raised an eyebrow.
"Hopeless basket-baka" Kise muttered and sighed. He gave up,Kagami stupidity is beyond repair. Well,I should be glad he is that dense Kise thought.
"Everyone,we're here" Akashi suddenly said. Before anyone realized,they had arrived at a spooky place. They stopped in front of a shop painted in gray.
"Amazing,Akashi-kun! It took us half an hour to get here the other day,and today we arrived after 15 minutes of walking!" Momoi said as she pushed the door open. Akashi didn't say anything and just walked in. Everyone followed him and walked into the shop. The shop was very dark. There was some light due to Momoi opening the door,but since there was a bunch of basketball player standing in front of the shop,the light was only enough for them to see the counter and a part of the floor. If they didn't know better,they would have thought this place was abandoned. Suddenly,they heard a voice from the shadow.
"Who is there?"
"I'm Akashi Seijuro. I called yesterday"
How on earth did you get the number? Everyone thought.
They heard creaking sound of the damp wooden floor and sound of footsteps coming nearer and nearer.
"Welcome to my shop~" A head pop out from the dark and said that with a creepy voice,earning an "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" from everyone,minus Kuroko and Akashi. Right after that,a bright light dazzled their eyes.
"Ah,sorry I scared you. The whole street has have a blackout since morning" She turned off the flash light and continue "I heard everything from Akashi-san yesterday already. I deeply apologize. Please,come in". Now that everyone had calm down,they realized the old lady had a really warm voice,but they couldn't see her though.
"It…is a little scary in here" Koganei commented. Miraculously,light suddenly pop up.
"Oh,how nice,the power are back" the old lady smiled. Now eryone could clearly see how she looked like. White hair tied in bun,kind-looking face,long gray dress. An appearance that screamed normal. Everyone followed her deep inside the shop until they were facing a wall with a fake unicorn head hanging on it as decoration. Everyone thought it was weird but no one said anything. She pulled the unicorn's horn down. They heard a loud rumbling noise and then they saw the wall moved back,slowly slided to the right,revealing a very spacy,dark and dusky room. The lady walked in and gestured everyone to followed her. Once the last person,Koganei,had stepped into the room,the wall automatically slided to the left and return to it's normal state. She snapped her finger,and the whole room was lighted up with light from candles,very big candles,or were they torchs? She turned to the group,intended to invite them to tea,only to see paled face and scared eyes looking around the room.
"Don't worry,those torchs are safe. You won't get burn" She misunderstood their fear. Of course,everyone remained terrified. Again,she snapped her fingers,and chairs came flying toward them. They were scared,but they were also tired so no one was hesitant to sit down when asked. Almost everyone feel more comfortable,except for Aomine. He felt like throwing up,not because of the spooky atsmosphere,but because of the room. It was a library. However,it didn't have bookshelves standing in line but bookshelves hanging on walls. When everyone had sat down,the old lady asked them if they wanted some tea,but Akashi turned down the offer and asked her to 'get into business'.
"Again,I'm so sorry this happen. My name is Fuwashi Dakita. I used to be a witch. The sugar I sold for the two girls was originally magical powder use for switching bodies. But it won't work after three days since the day it was made. To make it work after that three days is impossible,unless you are a very powerful witch. I have no idea why it work again,but I will take my resposibilities. Now,can I see the two who got switched?"
Kagami and Kuroko stood up at the same time and walked to Fuwashi. Fuwashi eyes widen when she saw the two.
"Oh my god,I can't believe it! Who did this to you? Such powerful potion you have taken!" Fuwashi was astonished.
"Uhm,we didn't really take any potion" Kuroko said hesitantly.
"No way,I'm sure you have taken some. Are you sure you didn't eat or drink anything strange? You're under a spell that isn't mine. It's too powerful to be mine"
"Maybe it's that cake" Kagami make a wild guess. Everyone stared at him but no one said anything. The possibility is high They all thought.
"Can you change us back?" Kuroko asked to change the subject,and he also wanted to know.
"I don't know,but I will try. Wait a little bit" She clasped her hands twice and a wooden ladder walked to her. She climbed on it and it walked to the bookshelves. She went around the room,probably looking for a book. After a few minutes,she climbed down with a thick,hardcover book.
"Sorry for the wait. I got what we need here" She held up the book. It's spine was covered with dust. On the cover was the line '1000 ways to reverse spells'. Kagami looked at her questioningly. She noticed the stare. "Is something wrong?" she asked Kuroko.
"Why didn't you fly when searching for the book? " he answered her with a question.
"I'm not that good yet. Only really powerful witches and wizards can do such thing" she smiled "Ok,now,let's turn you back to normal" she opened the book.
Author's note: I'm sorry this chapter wasn't much of a progress. But I'm not really a fan of fast-paced story so you will have to put up with this for a while. I promise the next chapter won't be as dissapointing as this. And if you're wondering why I put meaningless conversation every here and there,you'll get your answer in later chapters. I tried cool!Kise too. I think I failed. Anyway,reviews help a lot,so please,leave a review. Also,happy birthday my dear Kuro-chan. And happy lunar new year.
