Chapter 12: Of Plastic Surgery, Schwarz Fights, and Endless Confusion
By Carter Tachikawa
Disclaimer: Ah, to hell with this...it's mine, okay? (Sirens heard in background) Aw, shit! Okay, it isn't mine! It isn't mine! (There's banging on the door) Crap...
Summary: During a mission, the kittens are knocked out. When they awaken, they found out that they have switched bodies! Now Aya hates liars, Ken hates celery and foolish people, Omi hates guys who harass women, and Yohji hates authority figures and, most importantly, Takatori. Will they survive? (Most likely not-_-0)
Pairings: Ran x Ken with very little Brad x Schu. Won't drive you crazy though, I promise (Yup, it's shounen-ai!) Not into RanKen? Do not proceed any further. The back button is still there...

(Welcome back! Hope everyone's having a good holiday! For your pleasure, I will now proceed and give you guys a gift: the next chapter of this story. Amazingly enough, we are almost done. About 5 or 6 more chapters along with an epilogue, which will have notes, interviews, and a preview of my next story , also RanKen^_^)
Anyway, recap: 'Omi' and 'Aya' have teamed up to help each other out. 'Omi' (Yohji) promises to get another orange sweater like the one the real Aya has if 'Aya' (Ken) saves him from the real Omi. (Okay, that confused the hell out of people, lol!) Brief, sweet RanKen moment with a chocolate eating 'Yohji' (Aya) confronting his lover. 'Aya' quickly covers everything up with a stupid idea: Neko the neko of Koneko, the flower shop's new mascot. It works somehow but 'Yohji' knows 'Aya' is lying. He tells 'Ken' this. Schwarz makes brief appearance. Manx has a new mission but no solution for the boys and now...the new chapter begins. Schwarz returns and a big battle begins^_^ . Will Schu be screwed? You bet!
I'm writing this in the midst of another WK fic, a one-shot Yohji/Aya/Ken triangle. It's bitter, it's angst, and it has necrophilia in it. (Warning you all right now.) But I hope I won't taint you all for life.
Thanks to the reviewers: CherubKatan (would Mountain Dew be considered 'the crack I was on' when I wrote this^^), fei (don't worry, I'm not mad you missed my updates), Taline (next battle will be better, I promise), lise, Ryia Jen Rowen, Jenny (yes, Gluhen was good. I downloaded it and it was subbed), Midori (thanks for all your lovely notes in my blog), Akiko Yuy, Miss Vampire, Fuyukaze-Yuki, LittleIsa, asami, Muchacha (yeah, I could tell you were in a bad mood in the last review), Neptican, Moku (I more or less got what you're saying in your review. English isn't your first language, right? It's not mine either so I understand. Anyway, Inu just doesn't have the same ring as Neko does. You do realize the outtakes are NOT a part of the fic, right? Momoe and the cat aren't important at all, the whole Neko thing was Ken's stupidity kicking in. Sorry you don't like Yohji but I'm glad you like the story^^), kamibukurosama (oooh, you're right! That IS a tongue twister!), ember-fang (I'll work on that fic first after this one, I promise) and Ayako (you DID use genki darts of doom to destroy the storm, didn't you? They are the only weapons that will suffice!)
I think I got everyone. If I missed you, sorry. I'll try to get you in next time.
And now the fic...
* * *
'Omi' blinked his eyes as he stared at his reflection in the window of some shop. He shook his head. That was it. Those eyes...he had to do something about those eyes, all big and blue like a baby. It gave the real Omi a sweet yet feminine appearance. Guys were not supposed to have big eyes and 'Omi' knew it. That genki look was making his stomach churn. He planned to do something about it.
"I've made up my mind." 'Omi' said out loud. "If we never get switched back, I'm going to find a plastic surgeon and get these eyes fixed."
'Ken' was anything but pleased to hear that. He had been too busy thinking up a plan for the group when 'Omi' made that comment. It was the first time he heard anyone talk about changing his appearance. "But...but those are *my* eyes! What's wrong with my eyes?"
"They're humongous! They make you look like an owl! No lady is going to go for a guy with eyes the size of flying saucers, chibi! They'll run away from you!"
"None of the women who come to the shop complain about my eyes!"
"That's cause they're afraid they'll hurt your feelings." 'Omi' stared at himself a little longer. Oh yes, he needed to get that plastic surgery done. And while he was at it, he could get some colored contact lenses. The baby blue was out of style. Maybe green or purple or brown...red seemed like a nice color too. He'd make that decision later. But the eyes *needed* to be fixed. Somewhere in his old room, 'Omi' knew he had a coupon from a place where they did this stuff. He remembered one of them came with free collagen injections after the client got either their eyes fixed or liposuction. Now looked like a good time to use that coupon.
'Ken' tried to keep his rage underneath. "My eyes are *not* that big, Yohji-kun!"
"I beg to differ, Omittichi."
"Um...I don't mean to interrupt." 'Aya' began. "But aren't we on a mission?"
"He's right." 'Yohji' pushed the sunglasses up. "We came here to get the target, not listen to how Yohji is going to improve Omi's face."
"I said his eyes needed to be fixed! I didn't say he needed a facelift! Although..." 'Omi' began thinking again.
"No!" 'Ken' snapped before 'Omi' could say another word. Then he turned to 'Aya' and 'Yohji'. "I'm sorry, Aya-kun. Sorry, Ken-kun. I almost forgot we were on a mission."
It was true. The four of them received orders from Persia to stop a group of killers who were murdering random people who had the letter E in their last names. They found this to be the silliest reason to kill someone. This didn't pertain to any of the Weiß assassins but it did affect a couple of people they knew like Sakura Tomoe. She was all right but who knew for how long? All four agreed to take the mission. The targets, however, were not identified. The faces could not be seen during the briefing. But they did get the location of where the next attack would be: at the meeting of the "We Love the Letter E" fan club. Everyone was shocked to find out there was such a thing in Tokyo but it was true. All members had E's in their names, which made them potential victims for the killers.
Manx promised to keep searching for a solution to their problem. They left on the mission immediately, not giving 'Ken' a chance to yell at 'Omi' or 'Yohji' a chance to ask 'Aya' about the sweater again. This time, however, they all got into the wrong assassin clothes. Yohji's coat reached all the way to ground when 'Omi' put it on. 'Aya' looked rather strange wearing an orange sweater (which *wasn't* his) around his waist and the goggles. 'Ken' couldn't even fit into the shorts. Only 'Yohji' seemed to be dressed decently but it still looked wrong. When they saw their mistakes, they switched clothes and were now dressed properly.
"All right, this is the plan." 'Ken' began.
'Aya's' mouth widened into a smile. "Here it goes again! I'm going to sound..."
"If you say you sound smart making plans one more time, I will seriously pop you one." 'Ken' threatened. 'Aya' shut up immediately and 'Ken' proceeded in telling everyone the plan. They all listened well, save 'Omi' who was obsessing over his looks. He kept pinching his stomach and wondering if he needed the liposuction too. He wasn't overweight but some of this fat had to go.
*/You've been eating too many pockys, chibi./* He thought, poking his skin. */No wonder you come home and you're not hungry./*
"Are you okay with that, Yohji-kun?"
"Huh?" 'Omi' looked up. The other three waited patiently for his response. Unfortunately, he had no idea what they were talking about. "Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm okay with Omi getting collagen injections for his lips. We'll fake his age if they won't let anyone under eighteen in."
'Ken' grabbed 'Omi's' sleeve and pulled him down. "Stay focused, Yohji-kun! I was asking if it was okay with you that we enter through the back while Aya-kun and Ken-kun go through the front. And what's this about my lips?!"
"Nothing!" 'Omi' shook his head. "But I'll go with you."
"It's settled then." 'Yohji' said, looking at his (well, technically it *wasn't* his) watch. Of all of them, he knew how to use this weapon. He used it once during the human chess game [1] and he used it to kill the target on a previous mission. Though strangling someone to death wasn't his cup of tea, it would have to do. He still didn't understand why they didn't just take their normal weapons. It wasn't like the targets *knew* them or anything. But it was 'Ken' who said they should 'experiment' with something new. He wanted to see what it was like to try and use bugnuks.
The other three agreed reluctantly.
'Aya' kept looking at the katana. "You think I'd be used to this after killing someone with it."
"It was only one mission. No one gets used to something after doing it the first time, Ken-kun." 'Ken' said with a sigh. "Well, if there are no more questions, I guess we can get started. Just don't do anything to arouse attention. Understand?"
The other three nodded.
"Good." 'Ken' said, satisfied. "Now let's get going!"
"I'm serious, chibi." 'Omi' was saying as the four of them split into groups of two. "Botox will be good for you."
"No, it won't. Don't mention the word again." 'Ken' muttered as the two of them left 'Aya' and 'Yohji'.
So far, everything seemed to be okay. No one seemed to notice the four of them lurking. 'Ken' let them know that all the members of the "E club" seemed to be unharmed. He had a little trouble getting the message through because 'Omi' was right behind him, talking about Botox and getting his eyebrow pierced. 'Yohji' rolled his eyes while his lover just smiled sympathetically. Both of them were just waiting to see when 'Ken' was going to claw poor 'Omi's' eyes out or something to that nature. Sighing, 'Aya' looked up at the full moon. It was so beautiful out tonight. The stars glimmered against a pitch black sky and wind rustled through the tree leaves. How he wished that he could spend the night outside, wrapped in his lover's arms, and gaze at the starlit sky together. There were two problems with that. One, he was on a mission. Two, he was in Aya's body and Aya was in Yohji's body. He had nothing against Yohji as a person but cuddling up to the playboy was odd. The real Yohji probably wouldn't be too happy seeing his body rubbing against 'Aya'.
"Something's on your mind." 'Yohji' spoke up, noticing the worried look.
"Well...yes. I was just thinking how beautiful the moon and stars are." 'Aya' murmured, looking into 'Yohji's' green ones. "And I was thinking about how much I'd like to spend the night with you...the *real* you. I'm sorry, love, but it feels wrong kissing and loving Yohji. I know it's you underneath but it doesn't look like you. You look like Yohji. You sound like Yohji. I just can't get close to you if you're in Yohji's body."
'Yohji's' eyes lowered in disappointment. "So if we never change back, you're saying you wouldn't want to be with me?"
"No!" 'Aya' shook his head. "Oh no! I'm just being optimistic here. I *know* we'll go back to normal. I haven't leaned towards hopelessness yet. I..."
"Shh!" 'Yohji' motioned for him to be quiet. He heard something drop around the corner. The two assassins were silent for a while, long enough to hear a door slam and someone rush in. It didn't take either one long enough to realize that the footsteps probably belonged to their unknown target.
"Should we move in?" 'Aya' asked. 'Yohji' nodded in reply, pulling out some wire to strangle his intended victim. Together, they moved quickly and silently to where they thought the target had disappeared into. They found the door, which had someone flung open even though they both heard it slam. 'Yohji' motioned 'Aya' to follow him. He pushed the door open and stepped inside, looking around the dark and almost lifeless room. 'Aya' stepped up behind him and joined his lover in observing. Neither wanted to take a step further for there could have been traps inside.
"This doesn't look good." 'Aya' whispered. Almost immediately after he said that, his statement came true.
"Well, well, well." A familiar voice chuckled. They couldn't see who it was but it was nasal sounding voice and it had a German accent. "What has wandered in my direction? Two little kittens..."
"You!" 'Aya' pulled the sword out of its sheath and watched as Schuldig came out of the shadows. He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the two Weiß assassins standing back to back, ready to tackle him. Not like that would help anyways. He could take them both without having to lift a finger.
"You're the ones behind this?" 'Yohji' demanded.
"How else would we be able to lure you kittens in, hmm?" Schuldig grinned at them though deep inside he was seething with rage. If there was ever a time he wanted revenge, now was it. True, these two kittens hadn't been the ones who confused him but he looked forward to fighting them all the same.
"I figured that killing random people would bring you here." Another voice, this time with an American accent, spoke up. 'Yohji' and 'Aya' both turned to find Crawford coming towards them. Pushing up his glasses, he added. "I predicted you'd come. As stupid as killing people with the letter in E in their names sounds..."
"It's not stupid!" Schuldig interrupted, crossing his arms and pouting. "You adored the idea, Bradley! You were gushing all over it like a schoolgirl over some hot J-pop singer!"
The thought of serious, stick-up-the-ass Crawford gushing over a silly plan was enough to make 'Aya' lose his cool composure and start laughing. This irritated 'Yohji' for he had hoped to keep the little problem a secret from the enemy. The two Schwarz members, however, were confused.
"Oh my God! You can laugh!" Was Schuldig's response. Crawford didn't say anything but he looked puzzled. 'Yohji' shot 'Aya' a death glare in hopes of ceasing his laughter. It didn't work. 'Aya' doubled over and felt a cramp coming on. He couldn't keep the serious look any longer. Crawford, in his Armani suit and glasses, freaking out over Schuldig's silly idea...it was priceless. His cheeks turned pink while 'Yohji' turned red with both, anger and embarrassment. What the hell was his lover doing? They were in the middle of a mission! Not only that, he was giving away what happened to Schwarz!
Crawford and Schuldig could only stare. The pink-cheeked 'Aya' and a bright red 'Yohji' would have been perfect on any humorous Valentine's Day card. Finally, Crawford snapped them both back into battle.
"Enough! You came to fight, so fight!" He demanded, facing 'Aya' who had stopped laughing. He tried to stay calm like his lover but inside, he was shaking with fear. He had never fought Crawford before. He was used to fighting Farfarello, who was far more crazier than Crawford. And unlike the Irishman, Crawford could feel pain. The problem lay with the fact that Crawford could dodge 'Aya's' attacks, thanks to his powers of prediction. 'Aya' had never fought one-on-one with the pre-cog before.
*/Well, there's a first time for everything./* He thought as he lunged towards Crawford, who immediately moved to the side. He chuckled as 'Aya' went towards him again. The Crawford took his swings, hitting 'Aya' both times in the jaw. 'Aya' winced in pain for his jaw was tingling. That guy knew how to *hurt* people! His poor Aya! Was this the pain his lover had to endure after every battle with Crawford? How could anyone expect to win against this guy?
*/I never expected him to be this hard!/* 'Aya' thought as he dodged one of Crawford's punches.
Meanwhile, Schuldig had been fighting 'Yohji' when he tapped into 'Aya's' mind. His emerald eyes flew open wide. That didn't sound like Abyssinian! It sounded like Siberian! The same thing that had happened with the kitten in the park was happening all over again. Schuldig managed to block the wire headed towards and tap into Balinese's thoughts.
Once again, he got shocking results.
*/Abyssinian is inside Balinese? Siberian's inside Abyssinian?/* The telepath felt the world started to spin again. This time it was worse. How could one person have another person's thoughts? He'd never encountered this until now and it was making him sick inside. All the thoughts he was hearing...the colors were started to meld together. His ears rang with pain and he actually got caught up in Balinese's wire...or was it Abyssinian? It didn't matter because now his neck was wrapped with that wire and he couldn't break free.
"Shi-ne." 'Yohji' whispered, getting ready to pull the wire tight.
Schuldig thought fast and telepathically screamed the one word that could help him out of this mess.
*/BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/*
TBC...
* * *
[1] I don't know how many of you saw episode 2: Fort Laufen but it's true. Aya did use wire from his watch to pull himself up when the floor collapsed. (Although it may have been Yohji's watch)
Well, I did it. Short chappy but I did it. Gomen, it took me a while. I've been depressed yet again this holiday season. It's hard writing humor when you're depressed. I promise to get more of this written sooner. Holidays always shorten my writing time.
Next up, you'll see how 'Omi' and 'Ken' fared against Nagi and Farfarello. The fighting scene between Brad, Schu, Ken, and Aya will intensify. Also, some soft RanKen and Brad x Schu moments. Neko comes back, sweater problem arouses again, and lots more insanity.
So review but no flames! Thank you!
Happy Holidays, readers. And Happy Birthday to Ken^_^ Take care of yourselves.
Ja ne!

"Should we move in?" 'Aya' asked. 'Yohji' nodded in reply, pulling out some wire to strangle his intended victim. Together, they moved quickly and silently to where they thought the target had disappeared into. They found the door, which had someone flung open even though they both heard it slam. 'Yohji' motioned 'Aya' to follow him. He pushed the door open and stepped inside, looking around the dark and almost lifeless room. 'Aya' stepped up behind him and joined his lover in observing. Neither wanted to take a step further for there could have been traps inside.
"This doesn't look good." 'Aya' whispered. Almost immediately after he said that, his statement came true.
"Well, well, well." A familiar voice chuckled. They couldn't see who it was but it was nasal sounding voice and it had a German accent. "What has wandered in my direction? Two little kittens..."
"You!" 'Aya' pulled the sword out of its sheath and watched as Schuldig came out of the shadows. He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the two Weiß assassins standing back to back, ready to tackle him. Not like that would help anyways. He could take them both without having to lift a finger.
"You're the ones behind this?" 'Yohji' demanded.
"How else would we be able to lure you kittens in, hmm?" Schuldig grinned at them though deep inside he was seething with rage. If there was ever a time he wanted revenge, now was it. True, these two kittens hadn't been the ones who confused him but he looked forward to fighting them all the same.
"I figured that killing random people would bring you here." Another voice, this time with an American accent, spoke up. 'Yohji' and 'Aya' both turned to find Crawford coming towards them. Pushing up his glasses, he added. "I predicted you'd come. As stupid as killing people with the letter in E in their names sounds..."
"It's not stupid!" Schuldig interrupted, crossing his arms and pouting. "You adored the idea, Bradley! You were gushing all over it like a schoolgirl over some hot J-pop singer!"
The thought of serious, stick-up-the-ass Crawford gushing over a silly plan was enough to make 'Aya' lose his cool composure and start laughing. This irritated 'Yohji' for he had hoped to keep the little problem a secret from the enemy. The two Schwarz members, however, were confused.
"Oh my God! You can laugh!" Was Schuldig's response. Crawford didn't say anything but he looked puzzled. 'Yohji' shot 'Aya' a death glare in hopes of ceasing his laughter. It didn't work. 'Aya' doubled over and felt a cramp coming on. He couldn't keep the serious look any longer. Crawford, in his Armani suit and glasses, freaking out over Schuldig's silly idea...it was priceless. His cheeks turned pink while 'Yohji' turned red with both, anger and embarrassment. What the hell was his lover doing? They were in the middle of a mission! Not only that, he was giving away what happened to Schwarz!
Crawford and Schuldig could only stare. The pink-cheeked 'Aya' and a bright red 'Yohji' would have been perfect on any humorous Valentine's Day card. Finally, Crawford snapped them both back into battle.
"Enough! You came to fight, so fight!" He demanded, facing 'Aya' who had stopped laughing. He tried to stay calm like his lover but inside, he was shaking with fear. He had never fought Crawford before. He was used to fighting Farfarello, who was far more crazier than Crawford. And unlike the Irishman, Crawford could feel pain. The problem lay with the fact that Crawford could dodge 'Aya's' attacks, thanks to his powers of prediction. 'Aya' had never fought one-on-one with the pre-cog before.
*/Well, there's a first time for everything./* He thought as he lunged towards Crawford, who immediately moved to the side. He chuckled as 'Aya' went towards him again. The Crawford took his swings, hitting 'Aya' both times in the jaw. 'Aya' winced in pain for his jaw was tingling. That guy knew how to *hurt* people! His poor Aya! Was this the pain his lover had to endure after every battle with Crawford? How could anyone expect to win against this guy?
*/I never expected him to be this hard!/* 'Aya' thought as he dodged one of Crawford's punches.
Meanwhile, Schuldig had been fighting 'Yohji' when he tapped into 'Aya's' mind. His emerald eyes flew open wide. That didn't sound like Abyssinian! It sounded like Siberian! The same thing that had happened with the kitten in the park was happening all over again. Schuldig managed to block the wire headed towards and tap into Balinese's thoughts.
Once again, he got shocking results.
*/Abyssinian is inside Balinese? Siberian's inside Abyssinian?/* The telepath felt the world started to spin again. This time it was worse. How could one person have another person's thoughts? He'd never encountered this until now and it was making him sick inside. All the thoughts he was hearing...the colors were started to meld together. His ears rang with pain and he actually got caught up in Balinese's wire...or was it Abyssinian? It didn't matter because now his neck was wrapped with that wire and he couldn't break free.
"Shi-ne." 'Yohji' whispered, getting ready to pull the wire tight.
Schuldig thought fast and telepathically screamed the one word that could help him out of this mess.
*/BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/*
TBC...

[1] I don't know how many of you saw episode 2: Fort Laufen but it's true. Aya did use wire from his watch to pull himself up when the floor collapsed. (Although it may have been Yohji's watch)
Well, I did it. Short chappy but I did it. Gomen, it took me a while. I've been depressed yet again this holiday season. It's hard writing humor when you're depressed. I promise to get more of this written sooner. Holidays always shorten my writing time.
Next up, you'll see how 'Omi' and 'Ken' fared against Nagi and Farfarello. The fighting scene between Brad, Schu, Ken, and Aya will intensify. Also, some soft RanKen and Brad x Schu moments. Neko comes back, sweater problem arouses again, and lots more insanity.
So review but no flames! Thank you!
Happy Holidays, readers. And Happy Birthday to Ken^_^ Take care of yourselves.
Ja ne!
