Chapter 3: Dun Dun Dun! The Guys Spy and A Costume Party!
By Carter Tachikawa
Disclaimer: Trick or treat, people of Weiß Kruez! Now may I own the series? (Gets a candy bar thrown in direction) WTF?! Okay, I don't own it again! It may not be mine now but I do have a plan B!
Summary: During a mission, the guys are knocked and awaken to find themselves in one another's body! So now Aya plays soccer, Ken loves computers, Omi hits on girls, and Yohji is in a...shi-ne mood?! The insanity ensues! Can they go back to normal?!
Pairings: Since I love it so much, of course it's RANKEN! Ran x Ken...yes, it's a yaoi. (Although, according to the circumstances, it's may appear to be Yohji/Aya...or something else...well, expect your mind to be fried by the end of this. I promise though, it STAYS RanKen!
(Happy Halloween, dear readers! I'm sitting here, dressed up as Ranners (orange sweater and eartails included!), writing the next half of this story for you. I'm a lot better than I was when I wrote chapter 3 so that's a good thing. I'm not going trick-or-treating cause I don't think anyone will know who I am-_-0. Plus it's too cold and I don't want to go out. As you wanted, it's the date scene! You can probably bet that Ken has only a few more days to live considering that in the last chapter he scratched up Aya's precious Porsche. But for now...let's see how the real Aya is faring on his date.)
Thanks to the reviewers again: fei, Keeshe Kaldaka (I'm still awaiting the drawing you were supposed to make for "WSIR" !), lorien, CherubKatan, kamibukurosama, siberian, Ryia Jen Rowen, and Ayako. Oh yes, and thanks to Jade Green who reviewed this fic on mediaminer.org. (Yup, it's there too)
And before I forget...the guys of Weiß and Schwarz are in the back getting into costume. So Weiß will be dressed as the Schwarz and vice (or should I say "Weiß". Get it? Vice? Weiß? Ah, forget it!) versa. I figured, since I'm Ranners, let's dress the others up too! You'll see them at the end. Who's who will be a surprise...
Farfie (from background): Nyohohohohoho! I get claws! God will be hurting...
Me:??? So much for the element of surprise. Anyway, time to get somewhat serious so without further ado, let's begin!
* * *
The real Aya Fujimiya was *not* having a good time on his date.
The woman, who introduced herself as Akane, wanted to stay wrapped around his body no matter where they went. She giggled too loud, wore too much makeup, and kept burying her face into his chest. He would have said something against it until he remembered he wasn't in his body anymore. He had to act like Yohji. But still... where the hell did Yohji find women like this?
*I'm doing you a favor, Kudou. You owe me.* 'Yohji' (Aya) fumed. The only one he wanted nuzzling against him was Ken. No wonder his lover had been so reluctant on letting him go on this date. He only prayed that woman wouldn't ask him to sleep with her.
"Isn't this romantic, Yotan?" Akane cooed, leaning against him and the scent of her cheap perfume entering his nostrils, almost causing him to choke.
*I feel sick.* 'Yohji' thought as she got closer. They were watching people play down on the sand at the beach [1]. He had taken her to lunch earlier, getting lost three times in the process and never getting used to driving Yohji's car. The scene at the restaurant hadn't been any better. She talked too much for starters. She wanted to know about his past and his favorite things. What was his favorite color, favorite ice cream flavor, favorite movie, favorite country (God knew why she asked that), and anything else that came into her mind. More and more, 'Yohji' wanted to ditch this girl. But if he wanted this woman not to know what was going on, he had to stay in character. Yohji would answer these questions with ease.
"I'll answer all your questions at once." He had said smoothly, grinning at the woman. "Red, strawberry (even though the real Aya was more of a chocolate fan), lots of movies that I don't have a favorite, Japan itself, and I like you. Good enough?"
"Good enough." Akane cooed.
*Yet if we're going to stay in character, that means...Ken!* 'Yohji' suddenly realized that Ken had no driving skills whatsoever. He wouldn't dare to drive the Porsche, would he? Yet he couldn't go out on his own motorcycle cause people would see something wrong with that picture. The only thing Ken could do was stay in the flower shop. Hopefully, he would.
*I trust Ken.* 'Yohji' reminded himself. *If he knows what's right, he will stay put. He won't touch my car.*
"Yotan, what's wrong?" Akane broke his thoughts. "You've been so quiet since we left the restaurant."
"Nothing's wrong." 'Yohji' muttered. If this woman was smart, she would know better than to pry into his business and ask more questions.
She wasn't.
"You haven't smiled once during our date." Akane pointed out. "Where's the Yotan I ran into the other day? The one who was giving me compliments and saying how pretty I looked? You've changed. It's like...it's like you've switched bodies or something."
*You have no idea how close to the truth you are.* 'Yohji' thought to himself. But he wasn't going to let this woman know what had happened. So he faked a smile and said. "Sorry...baby. I'm just...lost in those...pretty eyes of yours."
Akane almost melted to the ground. "Oh Yotan! You are so sweet!"
*Why the hell did I say that?* 'Yohji' wondered. But the charade worked. "It's true...sugar. Those eyes of yours , like deep pools of eternal but peaceful and sweet darkness...I feel like I'm losing myself in them."
That was enough for the woman to leap up and plant a kiss on his lips. Her lipstick was too thick and chunky so 'Yohji' tried not to throw up. He had used that same line on Ken not too long ago and somehow it didn't feel right using it on this strange woman. What would his lover say if he were to catch them in the middle of this kiss?
*Ken isn't here. He will never know.* 'Yohji' assured himself. He held onto that woman tightly, figuring this was what the real Yohji would do. Uncomfortable as it was, he still held her. *If only you were Ken...only then would this whole scene feel right.*
"You know what?" The woman whispered seductively.
"What?"
"I'm starting to get bored."
*I was bored from the beginning.* 'Yohji' thought nastily. He didn't like where this conversation was going. *This is the last time I do anyone a favor!*
"So what are you suggesting?" He asked, afraid of what the answer was going to be.
"Let's go to a place...where we can be alone." Akane leaned closer and kissed him again. 'Yohji' did not enjoy it but he kissed her back only because the real Yohji would do that.
"Any idea where you want to go?" He asked.
"Paradise. Heaven. To the stars...anywhere, Yotan. Anywhere as long as I am with you." She suggested and then she dragged him away from the scene at the beach. The real Yohji would have loved what would come next.
However, this was Aya in Yohji's body. He knew what would happen. And he hated it. He really hated it.
* * *
"We're here!" 'Omi' exclaimed as he drove the Porsche into a parking space. It felt strange though, that a seventeen-year-old was zooming by in an expensive car. Lucky for everyone, Aya made sure that his car had tinted windows [2] and no one could peer in. 'Ken' had made sure 'Omi' did not speed or go past any red lights while he was driving. Should they be caught, that would lead more problems like why an under-aged youth was driving a car and why they didn't follow the law. Then the real Aya Fujimiya would have all their heads. Lucky for them, 'Omi' kept a normal speed and stopped when he was supposed to.
'Aya' sat in the passenger seat next to him, nervously picking at his nails. The scratch...one measly scratch on Aya's car...and he caused it. What would his lover do when he saw that? What would he do? 'Ken' told him the scratch wasn't that bad and it could be fixed. But 'til the car *was* fixed, they had to avoid the real Aya.
*I can't believe I almost wrecked his car!* 'Aya' thought miserably, still staring at his nails. His Aya had some very clean, very smooth nails. He just noticed them right now. He had a big urge to start biting them cause he had a bad feeling on what the real Aya would do if he saw the scratch. But, considering he was already in trouble for the car, he didn't want to make things worse by ruining his lover's fingernails too.
"Are you sure this is the place, Yohji-kun?" 'Ken' asked, looking around. They had come to the beach, which was where the real Yohji had planned to take his date, Akane, too. If she remembered what he told her last week, the two of them would still be here. If not, then they were doomed.
"Pretty sure." 'Omi' agreed, setting the break and turning off the engine. "And I know Aya. He's not gonna follow her to some cheap motel."
"But he's being you!" 'Aya' exclaimed. "He's going to stay in character, even if it means doing something he doesn't like! He won't give away what's happened to us!"
"Shh! Ken-kun!" 'Ken' hissed. "Don't worry. Aya-kun won't do something that'll hurt you or endanger your relationship. I know he won't."
"You sure, Omittichi?"
"Positive."
'Aya' thought about it for a while. "I guess you're right. Why would Aya look at any other woman? He's got me. And besides, I trust him. He's only doing Yohji a favor."
"Good!" 'Omi' exclaimed, unbuckling his seat belt. "Now we got that settled, let's get out of here and catch Aya before my life is ruined!"
The three got out of the car, 'Aya' being the last one. He was still nervous on how his lover would react when he saw what had happened to that Porsche of his. Maybe he should have stayed in the shop and let Aya take care of this date on his own. Maybe if he had done that, everything would be all right.
"Move quietly." 'Omi' whispered. "I don't want him to know we're here!"
"I don't know what I'm doing here!" 'Ken' rolled his eyes. "I don't have a lover on this date! Why did you drag me along?"
"Would you rather take over three shifts at the shop?" 'Aya' asked.
'Ken' shook his head.
"Then?"
"Okay, you win." 'Ken' sighed. "But if Aya-kun gets mad at both of you, do *not* think of pinning any of the blame on me. I'm just a witness."
"Whatever, chibi." 'Yohji' rolled his eyes. His blue eyes scanned the parking lot, in search of his own car. The parking lot was crowded but it wouldn't be hard to spot it. 'Aya' kept examining his nails. ..which technically weren't his. What to do about that car?
*No, I can't worry too much! I'll just tell Aya that someone else scratched it! Yes, that'll work! He'll believe me! He has to believe me!*
Aya loved him. He told him he loved him. And in doing so, he would trust him. As they tried to keep to themselves, they also searched for the real Aya or Yohji's car. Hell, finding Akane would be great too! But so far there was no sign of either one. It was now late afternoon and people were starting to leave. 'Ken' kept reminding them that they had to go back to the shop.
"In case...you know." He dared not mention the fact that Manx could come in with another mission for them.
"In a few more minutes." 'Omi' insisted. "We'll go back then, chibi. I promise."
So few more minutes passed by and they still couldn't catch sight of Aya, Akane, or Yohji's car. Figuring that the redhead (now turned blond) had decided to drop the girl off and then go back to the flower shop, the others gave up and figured it was best to head home.
It would have been okay...if 'Ken' had not spotted two people that they were looking for.
"There they are!" He exclaimed. 'Aya' and 'Omi' squinted to get a better look. Yes, that was 'Yohji' and his date! But from the way she had herself wrapped over him was enough to break Ken's heart and infuriate the real Yohji.
"That bastard!" 'Omi' exclaimed. "What's he doing to my girl?"
As if to respond, Akane kissed 'Yohji'. Instead of resisting, 'Yohji' kissed her back. 'Aya' had never felt so betrayed in his life. 'Omi' seethed in rage while 'Ken' just stood there in horror. Aya...the cold, emotionless Aya Fujimiya...was kissing another person? More importantly, he was kissing Yohji's date? How could he do that after all Ken had done and given to him?
"There has to be an explanation." 'Ken' said, trying to patch everything up. "Aya-kun isn't one to do something like this. Maybe if we stick around and see more..."
"I've seen enough." 'Aya' murmured. "Let's go."
And with his broken heart, he headed back to where the Porsche was and began humming Olivia Newton-John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from Grease [3].
TBC...
* * *
[1] I'm pretty sure there's a beach where our guys live cause in episode 7, Omi is looking out at the sea and all these seagulls are flying above him. If I'm wrong, someone tell me.
[2] If I remember correctly, Aya's car does have tinted windows. I've noticed it in episode 6 and 7. Again, if I'm wrong, correct me.
[3] Hee hee hee...I figure that with Ken's new obsession on singing old songs, he'd probably take something like "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and start humming it. Plus I was listening to it and it seemed to go well with this scene.
* * *
I know the chapter is shorter than usual. I'm sorry, dear readers. Truth is, I now have a cold and my throat aches. Plus I have a lot more worries than usual this time around. I promise though, the next chapter will be better.
As I promised, a costume party! The members of Weiß are dressed as the members of Schwarz and vice versa! Now for some comic relief, after that sad scene, here we will see Weiß wandering in the darkness when Schwarz attacks!
(Cue 'Weiß' wandering in darkness. First we catch sight of a small assassin, wearing an outfit similar to Omi's and holding a crossbow. However, Omi now has telekinetic powers and pushes the door open with his mind. Behind Omi, we catch sight of Yohji...with long reddish hair and smirking grin. He is wearing Yohji's clothes, sunglasses, and smoking a cigarette. Then somebody makes noise. They turn around to find Ken making noise and shoving a bugnuk into a box.)
Ken : Mwuahahahahaha!!!!! Breaking boxes makes God's ears hurt!
Yohji: Farf...I mean, Siberian...keep it down!
Omi: According to my calculations, Schwarz is somewhere here.
Ken: After we hurt them, can we hurt God too?
Yohji (telepathically sends message): Farf, we're supposed to be Weiß, remember? Unlike you, Ken *doesn't* hurt God on a regular basis.
Omi (pushes another door open with mind): Shh! Since I am the smartest member in this group, you better listen to me! Schwarz is here! And Ken-kun, stop trying to hurt God!
Ken: Can I make love to you, Abyssinian? It'll hurt God.
(Enter Aya...who looks bigger and more pissed than usual. Why is he pissed? Cause the author made him trade his Armani suit for a huge trenchcoat that...according to him...is well out of style. Yeah, it's Brad with Aya's red hair and eartails. He even has that shi-ne look on his face.)
Aya:....
Yohji (yawns): So when's this mission gonna be over? I have a date in three minutes!
Omi: Schu! I mean...Yohji-kun! Ah, I mean...Balinese! You just went on two dates today!
Yohji (grins): I can't help it if the ladies find me irresistible. (Lights up another cigarette)
Aya (sighs): I just had a premonition...
Omi: Aya-kun doesn't have premonitions, Brad.
Aya (thinking to himself): I'm going to borrow a page from Aya's book and seriously shi-ne Carter after this is over with.
Yohji (read Brad's mind): Oh, don't lie. You *know* you love dressing up as Abyssinian!
(Suddenly, Schwarz drops in from nowhere. There's a scowling Brad wearing a black wig and an Armani suit, smirking Schuldig in his weird jacket and yellow bandanna, Farf wearing his weird bandages and clothes, and Nagi in his school uniform!)
Omi: It's the Schwarz!
Aya (raises katana): Shi-ne Schwarz! (To himself) Oh my God, I sound so awful when I say that!
Yohji (reads mind again): No, it makes you sound sexy.
Aya (amazed): Really?
Ken: Nyohohohohohohoho! Now we can hurt God!
Farf: Isn't that supposed to be *my* line?
Ken (thinks): You're right. WAHHHH!!!!!!!! KASE!!!!!!!!!!
Nagi (looks confused): What are you doing that for?
Ken (pretends to sob): Cause it'll hurt God.
Omi (pissed off): For the hundredth time, Ken *does* not hurt God!
Brad: We've talked enough! Let's fight! (Gets into boxing position)
(Begins fight scene. Of course, Weiß cheats with their...powers! Ken hits Farfie, who suddenly feels pain. Brad can't predict any of Aya's attacks. Schu falls victim to Yohji's mind games. And Nagi keeps getting things flung in his direction by Omi. Nevertheless, there is a huge mess and all four are on the ground.)
Aya: Well that was pretty pointless.
Omi: What do we do now?
Ken: Hurt God?
Schu (glares at him): Other than that!
Brad: How about we hurt Carter instead?
(Author suddenly senses danger)
Me: Uh-oh!
Nagi (grins): Yes...it's because of Carter we're doing this silly thing.
Brad: You dress up like me and make me hurt Ken. Shi-ne Carter.
Farf: I'll help you, love!
Me: Shiiiiit! (To readers) Well, there you go! A completely pointless scene! I swear I'll have more of this later! If I live to write the rest of it that is...(runs off)...more humor later! And don't worry, Ranners stays with Ken forever and ever! (Keeps running as the Weiß and Schwarz follow in hot pursuit.)

Aya...the cold, emotionless Aya Fujimiya...was kissing another person? More importantly, he was kissing Yohji's date? How could he do that after all Ken had done and given to him?
"There has to be an explanation." 'Ken' said, trying to patch everything up. "Aya-kun isn't one to do something like this. Maybe if we stick around and see more..."
"I've seen enough." 'Aya' murmured. "Let's go."
And with his broken heart, he headed back to where the Porsche was and began humming Olivia Newton-John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from Grease [3].
TBC...

[1] I'm pretty sure there's a beach where our guys live cause in episode 7, Omi is looking out at the sea and all these seagulls are flying above him. If I'm wrong, someone tell me.
[2] If I remember correctly, Aya's car does have tinted windows. I've noticed it in episode 6 and 7. Again, if I'm wrong, correct me.
[3] Hee hee hee...I figure that with Ken's new obsession on singing old songs, he'd probably take something like "Hopelessly Devoted to You" and start humming it. Plus I was listening to it and it seemed to go well with this scene.

I know the chapter is shorter than usual. I'm sorry, dear readers. Truth is, I now have a cold and my throat aches. Plus I have a lot more worries than usual this time around. I promise though, the next chapter will be better.
As I promised, a costume party! The members of Weiß are dressed as the members of Schwarz and vice versa! Now for some comic relief, after that sad scene, here we will see Weiß wandering in the darkness when Schwarz attacks!
(Cue 'Weiß' wandering in darkness. First we catch sight of a small assassin, wearing an outfit similar to Omi's and holding a crossbow. However, Omi now has telekinetic powers and pushes the door open with his mind. Behind Omi, we catch sight of Yohji...with long reddish hair and smirking grin. He is wearing Yohji's clothes, sunglasses, and smoking a cigarette. Then somebody makes noise. They turn around to find Ken making noise and shoving a bugnuk into a box.)
Ken : Mwuahahahahaha!!!!! Breaking boxes makes God's ears hurt!
Yohji: Farf...I mean, Siberian...keep it down!
Omi: According to my calculations, Schwarz is somewhere here.
Ken: After we hurt them, can we hurt God too?
Yohji (telepathically sends message): Farf, we're supposed to be Weiß, remember? Unlike you, Ken *doesn't* hurt God on a regular basis.
Omi (pushes another door open with mind): Shh! Since I am the smartest member in this group, you better listen to me! Schwarz is here! And Ken-kun, stop trying to hurt God!
Ken: Can I make love to you, Abyssinian? It'll hurt God.
(Enter Aya...who looks bigger and more pissed than usual. Why is he pissed? Cause the author made him trade his Armani suit for a huge trenchcoat that...according to him...is well out of style. Yeah, it's Brad with Aya's red hair and eartails. He even has that shi-ne look on his face.)
Aya:....
Yohji (yawns): So when's this mission gonna be over? I have a date in three minutes!
Omi: Schu! I mean...Yohji-kun! Ah, I mean...Balinese! You just went on two dates today!
Yohji (grins): I can't help it if the ladies find me irresistible. (Lights up another cigarette)
Aya (sighs): I just had a premonition...
Omi: Aya-kun doesn't have premonitions, Brad.
Aya (thinking to himself): I'm going to borrow a page from Aya's book and seriously shi-ne Carter after this is over with.
Yohji (read Brad's mind): Oh, don't lie. You *know* you love dressing up as Abyssinian!
(Suddenly, Schwarz drops in from nowhere. There's a scowling Brad wearing a black wig and an Armani suit, smirking Schuldig in his weird jacket and yellow bandanna, Farf wearing his weird bandages and clothes, and Nagi in his school uniform!)
Omi: It's the Schwarz!
Aya (raises katana): Shi-ne Schwarz! (To himself) Oh my God, I sound so awful when I say that!
Yohji (reads mind again): No, it makes you sound sexy.
Aya (amazed): Really?
Ken: Nyohohohohohohoho! Now we can hurt God!
Farf: Isn't that supposed to be *my* line?
Ken (thinks): You're right. WAHHHH!!!!!!!! KASE!!!!!!!!!!
Nagi (looks confused): What are you doing that for?
Ken (pretends to sob): Cause it'll hurt God.
Omi (pissed off): For the hundredth time, Ken *does* not hurt God!
Brad: We've talked enough! Let's fight! (Gets into boxing position)
(Begins fight scene. Of course, Weiß cheats with their...powers! Ken hits Farfie, who suddenly feels pain. Brad can't predict any of Aya's attacks. Schu falls victim to Yohji's mind games. And Nagi keeps getting things flung in his direction by Omi. Nevertheless, there is a huge mess and all four are on the ground.)
Aya: Well that was pretty pointless.
Omi: What do we do now?
Ken: Hurt God?
Schu (glares at him): Other than that!
Brad: How about we hurt Carter instead?
(Author suddenly senses danger)
Me: Uh-oh!
Nagi (grins): Yes...it's because of Carter we're doing this silly thing.
Brad: You dress up like me and make me hurt Ken. Shi-ne Carter.
Farf: I'll help you, love!
Me: Shiiiiit! (To readers) Well, there you go! A completely pointless scene! I swear I'll have more of this later! If I live to write the rest of it that is...(runs off)...more humor later! And don't worry, Ranners stays with Ken forever and ever! (Keeps running as the Weiß and Schwarz follow in hot pursuit.)
