Chapter 5: Okay, Why Does My Car Smell Like Smoke?

By Carter Tachikawa

Disclaimer: I don't own Weiß Kruez. Why haven't I made this disclaimer as interesting as the others? Cause I'm tired and I'm running out of ideas, that's why.

Summary: During a wonderful mission, our boys get knocked out. When they awaken, they see they have switched bodies! (Oh, the horror!) Now Aya loves soccer and kids, Ken likes old people for some strange reason, Omi likes women, and Yohji...suddenly likes money and hates Takatori? Oh, the horror! The horror!

Pairings: RanKen forever and ever. There I said it. Despite the weirdness of my story, it stays RanKen!

(Okay, some apologies. I am a baka. No, I'm not kidding. I'm a baka. I cannot believe I confused you readers and MYSELF, the author, with this story! Keeshe Kaldaka and fei were quick to point out a mistake in my fic, which I *did* fix. I forgot the boys had switched bodies! I thought Aya was back in his old body! Ah, stupid me! Thank you, fei and Keeshe Kaldaka, I owe you big! I can't believe I got confused with my own story! If that doesn't label me as a world class baka, I don't know what does. I'm sorry, dear readers. When you have three fics (including this), school, family, social life, love life, and everything else in between getting in the way, it's hard to stay in order.)

To my readers:

Keeshe Kaldaka and fei: Thanks, girls. Really. You kept me from looking like a bigger fool than I already am. I promise to start "WSIR" sequel "The Gift" (yes, the lemon) soon for you. (Keeshe, I'm still waiting to see the drawing that you were supposed to make of "WSIR".)

Amber: Thanks for the review. Um...about Aya-chan's hair...it looks blacker to me than purple. (I'm going anime color here). Of course, I have seen pictures where it looks kind of blue but I think it's just the animation. I wish Weiß didn't have weird animation. I may also have really bad vision too. I don't know. But for the sake of the fic, let's just say her hair is black. I just don't see it as purple.

Thanks to the rest of you as well: lorien, CherubKatan, Ayako, Fiorespere, siberian, Ryia Jen Rowen, ionis, and kamibukurosama (Yes, Aya has an awesome voice but not as cool as Ken's! "Sweet Nothing" is one of my favorite songs. He sounds so amazing.)

Now, without further ado, Baka of the Year will continue the rest of this fic...

* * *

'Omi' had been driving around in the Porsche for a while. He didn't feel like going back to Koneko right away. Who knew, maybe 'Aya' decided to not spend the entire hour and half there. Besides, 'Ken' could take care of things at the shop by himself. And 'Omi' was longing for some nicotine.

*Should I? The chibi will get mad...* He thought to himself, looking at an old cigarette pack that he had stashed away in his room. He knew he probably would get caught buying cigarettes because now he was under-aged, damn the real Omi Tsukiyono. And the past few hours had been pure hell! No smoking? How did everyone expect him to go through a day without *one* tiny cigarette? It wouldn't hurt Omi's body *that* much. One cigarette wouldn't do worth shit to him.

"To hell with this." 'Omi' muttered, parking the car and opening the cigarette pack. Oh, those beautiful white cylinders all neatly lined up in that box...how he missed them! The way they smelled was heaven to him. Screw what Omi said. He was having one.

"One cigarette won't destroy your body, chibi." 'Omi' murmured, putting a cigarette in his mouth and holding it tight between his teeth. Taking his lighter, he lit it and took a quick puff. Ah, he felt much better now! He opened the window a little but not enough for anyone to take a look at him. Yes, one cigarette wouldn't hurt Omi. It couldn't.

*And the chibi will never know.* 'Omi' thought as he drove away, cigarette still clamped between his teeth. Now things were looking better for him.

* * *

"Yohji...I mean, Aya...love, what are you doing here?!" 'Aya' stammered. He was not ready to confront Aya about everything yet. How did this moment come so fast? He still didn't know how to explain the scratch on the car or how he felt about that girl.

"I came to visit Aya-chan. What else?" 'Yohji' replied simply, entering the room. "Why are you here?"

"Um...I'm supposed to be you, remember? I came to visit Aya-chan the way you would. I tried to stay in character as much as possible."

'Yohji' nodded. "And I hear you made quite a stir in the maternity ward."

'Aya' blushed. "You heard about that?"

"News travels fast, Ken."

"I wasn't trying to make you look like an idiot." 'Aya' confessed. "In truth, I didn't know where Aya-chan's room was. I figured you come visit her regularly and I had to do the same. But I had to find her room."

"Why didn't you ask anyone for help?"

"Cause...you never asked anyone and...I didn't want to look stupid?"

"Yet you did anyway by bursting into a room where a woman was delivering a baby."

"Sorry." 'Aya' murmured, looking down. 'Yohji' felt a little pity, took one hand, and lifted 'Aya's' (or technically, his own) chin.

"It's okay. I forgive you." He whispered. Then he tried to move in for a kiss. 'Aya', remembering what happened, pulled away quickly. It was hard to kiss someone who had put his lips on someone else.

"What's wrong?" 'Yohji' asked, growing disappointed. "Are you still upset over the fact that you're kissing Yohji instead of me?"

"A little. But that's not the main reason." 'Aya' sighed. "You see, koi, I caught you...with another woman. You were kissing her and it hurt watching you do that. How could you do that?"

'Yohji' raised an eyebrow but didn't look surprised or deny anything. "Are you talking about Yohji's date? I was only kissing her because that's what he would do. Not to mention she was the one who kissed *me*, not vice versa."

"Oh." 'Aya' felt a little relieved. "But where is she now?"

"Home." 'Yohji' said. "She wanted to do something more...I refused. I drove her straight home, despite her protests. I'm not in love with her. I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize the relationship I have with you."

"So you were only doing Yohji a favor?"

"Just like I promised." 'Yohji' nodded.

"Makes sense." 'Aya' forgave him. "I'm sorry, koi. I got carried away. I should know better."

"You should know better than to interrupt the birth of a baby, to think that I would ever cheat on you, and to spy on me when I clearly did not *want* you around. I thought you trusted me." 'Yohji' frowned.

"I do! Really! But..." 'Aya' paused. His boyfriend had a point. How could he ever *think* Aya was cheating on him?
"Ah, I guess I got scared of you leaving me."

"It won't happen. I promise." 'Yohji' tried kissing him again but 'Aya' pulled away.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." 'Aya' apologized. "I can't kiss you while you're in Yohji's body, koi. It just doesn't feel right."

"So what are we going to do about this?"

"We can't do anything until we're back in our old bodies." 'Aya' shrugged. "It feels wrong, knowing that it may be *you* inside but it's Yohji on the outside."

"I understand." 'Yohji' tried hard to hide his feelings but 'Aya' could see he was hurt. "Let's go now."

"Uh...don't you want to visit your sister?"

'Yohji' looked over at the sleeping Aya-chan. "That's not my sister. I'm Yohji, remember? You're Aya and you've already visited her."

"Um...true." 'Aya' nodded. "Okay, then. Let's go. Bye, Aya-chan!" He turned to the girl on the bed before heading out the door. 'Yohji' said nothing but followed his boyfriend. Neither one noticed that sunlight, pouring through the window, fell upon Aya-chan's sleeping face and made it appear as though she was smiling. The two had finally fixed whatever problems they had.

* * *

"I'll see you tomorrow, Omi-kun!" The fifth girl that 'Omi' had just asked out cooed. He couldn't believe his good luck. Now he could date women *under* eighteen. Of course, most of them were impressed how cool he was being. 'Omi' figured that the real Omi Tsukiyono never acted this way.

*But for now, I'm him and I'm going make him appealing to *all* these lovely ladies!* 'Omi' thought with a grin, his now blue eyes twinkling. The girl giggled and waved at him as he headed back towards the Porsche. So being in Omi's body wasn't half as bad as he thought.

"I'm a very lucky man." 'Omi' chuckled, lighting up his sixth cigarette before getting into the Porsche again (making sure no one saw him, of course!) and driving off. Six cigarettes weren't going to harm his body. And it's not like Omi would find out anyway.

* * *

"Mou!" 'Ken' exclaimed when he saw what time it was. "Ken-kun has soccer practice in an hour! I better get going!"

But he couldn't go anywhere until 'Aya', 'Yohji', or 'Omi' came back. They had been gone for quite some time now and he was getting worried. Did 'Aya' resolve his problems with 'Yohji'? Had 'Omi' been caught driving the Porsche? Or worse…did 'Yohji' find the scratch that 'Aya' had left on his precious car, thus harming his lover?

*Poor Ken-kun.* 'Ken' pitied him. That was it. He couldn't wait for anyone to come back. After telling Momoe to look after the shop for a while (which she was more than happy to do), he left the shop and headed straight for where the field was. Unlike Ken, who had no idea where Aya-chan's room had been, Omi knew where Ken played with the kids.

"Ken-san! Ken-san!" All the little boys exclaimed when 'Ken' approached the field. 'Ken' gulped. These weren't children, they were monsters! [1]

"Hi, there!" He greeted them, trying to be as cool as Ken was. "Um…you guys ready to play?"

"Yeah!" They all responded.

*Great. I'm not that good at soccer.* 'Ken' remembered. It was true. He either kicked the ball too hard or he didn't kick it hard enough. He failed to make goals except for one time…and he made the goal for the other team. Needless to say, his classmates were not too happy with him when they saw what he had done.

"Oh…okay." 'Ken' nodded. He took the ball from one of the little boys and tried to dribble it. "Split yourselves into teams."

"Um…Ken-san?" One boy asked, looking confused.

"Yes?" 'Ken' asked, a little worried. *What have I done wrong now?*

"Aren't we s'pose to practice dribbling and kicking first?"

*We are?* 'Ken' wondered. Then he nodded. If this was the way Ken held practice, then it was best he do things right. "Um…sure. Go ahead and practice, kids."

"Play with me, Ken-san!" They all screamed at once.

*I'm in hell.* 'Ken' realized as they all came forward and 'attacked' him, laughing and screaming in his ear. This was going to be one *very* long practice.

* * *

"I'm walking on sunshine! Whoa whoa!" 'Aya' began singing to the radio and grooving to the radio. He had called 'Omi' to tell him that he had found 'Yohji' and was now headed back with him to Koneko. 'Omi' didn't seem mad with the whole thing; in fact, he sounded a little *too* happy. He had turned on the radio to his favorite station and was singing with Katrina and the Waves.

"I'm walking on sunshine! Whoa whoa! I'm walking on sunshine! Whoa whoa! I'm walking on sunshine! Whoa whoa! And does it feel good! Yeah!" 'Aya' belted out, smiling too much yet again. Next to him, 'Yohji' glared at him.

"I thought we were supposed to stay in character." He said.

"I'm sorry but I have to break out of it now." 'Aya' grinned before going back to the song. "I feel alive, I'm feeling love, I feel the love, it's really real![2]"

"Ken…"

"I feel alive, I'm feeling love, I feel the love, it's really real!"

"Ken…"

"I feel alive, I'm feeling love, I feel the love, it's really real!"

"Ken…" Now 'Yohji's' patience reached the limit.

"I'm on sunshine, baby, whoa! Oh, I'm on sunshine, baby, whoa!"

"Will you shut up already?!" 'Yohji' snapped, turning off the radio. 'Aya' pouted and sank back in his seat.

"Hey! I like that song!"

"I'm trying to say something to you." 'Yohji' got out. "Now how did Yohji drive you to the hospital?"

Dun dun dun! The moment of truth-telling had arrived! Now he'd have to go back into how 'Omi' tried to teach him to drive the Porsche and how he ran over that box and how he got somehow got a scratch on the precious car. He gulped.

"Um…you see, koi…"

"He took my car, didn't he?"

"Uh…"

"I knew it!" 'Yohji' looked ready to shi-ne someone, which was a strange look on him. 'Aya' felt the lump in his throat sliding down to his stomach. If this was how 'Yohji' felt about *taking* the car out for a drive, he certainly didn't want to see what would happen when his lover saw that scratch.

"We had to go somehow and I can't drive…" 'Aya' began.

"It's okay. You're not the one I plan to kill when I get home."

*Oh, but you will when you see what I did.* 'Aya' answered back silently, turning the radio back on. It was only a matter of time before his life came to an abrupt end. He only hoped 'Omi' and 'Ken' had a plan to fix that scratch before Aya saw it or else he could kiss the rest of his days goodbye.

* * *

"One more game, Ken-san!"

"No!" 'Ken' moaned on the ground. Oh, this was hell all right. The kids beat him every single time. Some were curious as to why 'Ken-san' was doing so horrible. Memory of that school soccer game came back when 'Ken' shot a goal for the wrong team. Those kids adored him now, the others were upset.

"Ken-san, that was the other team! How could you score for the other team?"

"Yeah! Thanks a lot, Ken-san!" The other team was cheering.

*Why me?* 'Ken' asked himself as the little kids from the other team pulled him back up to his feet and then tackled him down again.

* * *

"He he he…Omi will never know." 'Omi' chuckled to himself as he finished is cigarette and popped a breath mint in his mouth. He was glad to break the rules. He got to smoke and he got a date with seven girls under eighteen. By Monday, Omi Tsukiyono would be one of the popular kids in school.

"You will thank me for this, chibi." 'Omi' said as he parked the Porsche in front of the Koneko. No one was here yet so he was safe. No one would ever know what he did, least of all Omi.

* * *

"We're back!" 'Aya' exclaimed, opening the door to the Koneko. Behind him, a scowling 'Yohji' followed. They found 'Omi' chilling by the counter, smiling and helping out another girl.

"Hey!" 'Omi' greeted them. The girl was about to question why 'Aya' looked cheerful but chose not to. "Have fun, Aya-kun?"

"Yeah." 'Aya' nodded.

"How about you, Yohji-kun?"

'Yohji' muttered some unintelligible. The girl said goodbye to the boys and then 'Yohji' decided to talk about what was wrong.

"You took my car out." He accused 'Omi'.

"Yeah and you took mine. What's wrong?"

"I didn't *say* you could take my car out."

"Well, I needed to get around somehow." 'Omi' shrugged. "It's boring staying in the shop all day long."

"Um…Aya?" 'Aya' began. "Let's not…"

"My car better be in good condition, Yohji." 'Yohji' continued, getting a shi-ne look on his face. 'Aya' gulped for the thirteenth time. He and 'Omi' exchanged glances, remembering the scratch.

"Oh, it is! Really!" 'Omi' lied. Before 'Yohji' could continue his interrogation, 'Ken' wandered into the shop. His dark hair was covered with mud and he looked like he had been hit with giant mud ball.

"Omi?!" 'Aya' exclaimed. "What happened to you?!"

'Ken' gave him a venomous glare. "I will never, ever, *ever* play with those kids again. Never!"

"Ah, that's right. You were supposed to play with the kids today, huh? So did you have fun?"

'Ken' twitched. "Fun? Fun?! You call being tackled by little kids twenty times in one day *fun*? It's hell, Ken-kun!"

"Sorry to hear that, chibi." 'Omi' said, trying hard not to snicker. "But you came out of it alive."

"Speaking of coming out of things alive", 'Yohji' fumed, "I want to see my car. Now!"

"Um, koi, that's not a good idea!" 'Aya' tried to stop him. 'Yohji' simply pushed him aside. The other two tried to help out.

"Come on, don't you trust me?" 'Omi' asked.

"No!" 'Yohji' snapped.

"Gee, thanks." 'Omi' muttered sarcastically.

"Really, Aya-kun…Yohji-kun…or whoever you are, is it necessary?" 'Ken' asked. "I mean, look at it tomorrow."

"I am going to see it now." 'Yohji' said pushing the door open and heading out to where 'Omi' had parked the Porsche. The others tried to slow him down. 'Aya' knew doom had finally approached.

But to his amazement, 'Yohji' just opened the car and peered inside.

"Everything seems in order." He said. Then he frowned. "But why does my car smell like cigarette smoke?"

He and 'Aya' both turned around to find a frightened 'Omi' getting ready to be attacked by a now furious 'Ken'.

[1] I'm pretty sure Kenken plays soccer with boys more than he does with girls. If I'm wrong, let me know.

[2] I may be off on the lyrics. I was listening to this song as I was driving down the road and I pictured Kenken singing it^^. If I'm off, cut me slack.

(I decided to spend a little more time on Yohji and Omi here, seeing that I have been ignoring them both in the recent chapters. I guess writing Ken is far easier for me than anyone else and since Aya is with him, I had to give him attention too. I'm sorry the apology/forgiveness scene seems so rushed but I didn't want to drag it out forever. I have a lot of things for this story. I'm still contemplating whether Sakura will make an appearance or not. Unlike "WSIR", this one takes place over many days, not one. (Those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, "WSIR" is "Wanting Something in Return", my first WK fic that is also a RanKen.) So you can bet this will be longer. Well, Ken lives to fight for another hour...because Yohji is doomed. Who'll kill him first, the real Omi or the real Aya? Stay tuned.)

In terms of future projects (in case anyone cares):

"The Gift"- sequel to "WSIR" with its lemony twist~_^ I know, I promised I work on this FIRST but I had no idea where to start! As you can see, that's why I'm on "Switch" right now. This one will most likely be started mid-December. It makes sense considering that's when the fic does take place (or close to it).

"Dead Zone"- the other preview I showed you guys at the end of "WSIR". Another RanKen, AU, romance, angst, stars Aya-chan, based off Stephen King's "The Dead Zone". This will be started Mar.-Apr. 2003.

"Okay to Cry"- one shot, angst/romance RanKen. You will all hate me for this cause it's a deathfic. Will be started Jan 2003 (hopefully I'll have it up on Jan 12th, my birthday^^)

"Untitled Brad x Schu"- yeah, my first Schwarz centered fic. For a contest. Some angst/romance, Brad x Schu. Will be started Jan-Feb 2003.

And if anyone wants to know of my original stuff, they'll be updated whenever I have time.

Yay! I managed to keep everyone straight! Of course, if you see me being stupid again, let me know and I'll fix it.
