Chapter 13: Don't Look At Me that Way! I'm Self-Conscious! (AND CONTEST)

By Carter Tachikawa

Disclaimer: I don't own it. I would not have made four episodes of Gluhen and not bring Yohji or Ken in either of them if I were in charge. But of course, I'm not.

Summary: After a mission, our boys get switched into one another's body. Now Aya smiles and loves kids, Ken is unusually genki, Omi is a pimp, and Yohji is acting...like a cold-hearted jerk. Will they ever fix this mix-up? Lots of insanity ahead!

Pairing: *grin* Ran x Ken. God, I love those two together! Oh yes, and a little Brad x Schu! I love them together too!

Happy Birthday to me! I'm turning 21! I can finally get drunk with Yohji! But lookie...see what my present is? I own my favorites, Aya and Schu, for a day! (Tugs on their leashes)

Aya: *death glares*

Schu: *too busy staring at Brad's ass to care that he's got a collar and a leash*

Oh boy, am I gonna have fun with those guys! He he he...anyway, back to the story. Well, our guys just came across good, ole Schwarz and Aya and Ken (the real ones) are fighting against Brad and Schu. However, Schu ends up hearing the wrong voices in the wrong bodies! Oh no! When we last left off, Aya had strung up poor Schu and was going to kill him. In an attempt to save himself, Schu screams Brad's name telepathically...and that's where I left off. Oh yeah, there was talk of giving poor Omi (the real one) plastic surgery (but he doesn't need it^^). And this is where I'm going to begin.

Many thanks to the lovely reviewers out there. Let's hope I got you all: CherubKatan, fei, Taline, Ryia Jen Rowen, Fuyukaze-Yuki, Mids, Moku (Gomen! I wasn't trying to insult you with what I said last time! I'm really sorry. Anyway, if you want to know, my native tongue is Bengali, an Indian language), Muchacha, kami-chan, DivineAngel, Ayako (now, now. I'm sure if you asked Omi politely...or shook him vigorously...he'd gladly hand the genki darts of doom over), lise, iamtheanonymous, Hyperventilater, and ember-fang.

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."
< br> "Please?"

"For the last time, Yohji-kun...you are *not* getting a nose job or collagen injections or anything of that sort!" 'Ken' was about to lose his temper. The two of them had gone to the other end of the building and were hiding behind a bunch of boxes so that none of the "E people" would notice them. They wanted to get this mission over with as quick as possible. So far it was quiet. Bored, 'Omi' kept finding things wrong with his body and had spent the last couple of minutes contemplating how he would change his image. Of course, 'Ken' had a few things to say about that.

"Oh, c'mon! Why can't I change my genki image?" 'Omi' demanded.

"Two reasons. One, you are now seventeen. While there are some teenagers younger than you who go through this, I feel you are still too young for plastic surgery. Two, because that *genki* image happens to be MINE!" 'Ken' put emphasis on 'mine' to make sure it got into 'Omi's' head. "You can change yourself all you want when we change back, Yohji-kun. You can get a nose job! You can get liposuction! You can chop all your hair off with pruning shears for all I care! But only when we get switched back! Til then, don't do a thing to my body!"

"Then I guess it would be a bad idea to tell you I got your tongue pierced." 'Omi' whispered. 'Ken's' eyes widened at that moment and he grabbed 'Omi'. He felt bad that he would be damaging his own body but it would hurt 'Omi' more than it would hurt him.

"You pierced my what?! Yohji-kun!" He exclaimed. He didn't know whether to kill 'Omi' right away or wait for an explanation. He finally made the reasonable choice in waiting for an explanation. 'Omi' just smiled at him and tried to get out of his grip. Unfortunately, he forgot he was smaller now and a little bit weaker. He figured that talking would be the only way 'Ken' would let him go.

"Relax, chibi. Your tongue is fine. See?" 'Omi' stuck it out.

"It's blue." 'Ken' looked suspicious.

"That's cause I had a blue ice-pop before I left! Geez, what's wrong with you? You've been wired ever since we got switched into different bodies!"

'Ken' was about to say something but he shut his mouth right away and put 'Omi' down. As much as he hated to admit it, that was the truth. Ever since the change, he had been losing it anytime something didn't go his way. He was never like this before. Despite the number of times Yohji irritated him, he stayed calm. The real Ken, on the other hand, was the short-tempered one in the group. The real Ken would probably chew Yohji's stupid head off if he even mentioned changing his appearance. The real Ken would...

*/Oh my God!/* 'Ken' realized what was going on. Bit by bit, he was turning into the real Ken! The switch hadn't just made them change bodies, it was turning them into someone else!

"This is bad." He whispered. 'Omi' noticed the look on 'Ken's' face and got worried.

"What's wrong, chibi?" He asked.

"I think...I think we're changing into the person whose body we're all currently occupying." 'Ken' explained. "When you said I was being short-tempered, it hit me. You're right. Ken-kun's short-tempered, not me. Somehow, I've become as short-tempered as he is. There's only one thing I can theorize...I'm probably going to turn into Ken-kun for good. Likewise, Aya-kun will become you, Ken-kun will become Aya-kun, and you will become me."

'Omi's' jaw didn't just hit the ground; it almost went straight through it.

"We're...we're what?" He asked. "You mean to tell me I'm going to turn into *you*? That I'm never going to go back to my sexy, beautiful body?"

'Ken' wanted to say something again but chose not to. "I'm afraid so. Unless there is a solution to switch us back, that's most likely what'll happen to us."

'Omi' groaned. But it made sense. He never ate blue ice-pops when he was in his other body. "Great! I'll be a chibi for life! Thanks a lot, Ken-kun!" Then he gasped and covered his mouth. "Oh shit! I just called you Ken-kun! And I wasn't being sarcastic either!"

'Ken' nodded sadly. "You see what's happening?"

"I'm...I'm..." 'Omi' stammered.

"Going to die." A new voice, a rather nasty one, spoke up. Both Weiß assassins looked up to find Farfarello coming down towards 'Ken', knife aiming straight at his chest. Pulling those bugnuks out in front of him, he prepared to defend himself. Farfarello let out his famous "Ayiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyi!" and knocked 'Ken' down to the ground. The bugnuks caught the knife but the Irishman wasn't through. He managed to get the knife out of the claws and tried to stab 'Ken' one more time.

"Ken-kun!" It was hard for even 'Omi' know whether he said this to keep Schwarz in the dark about switch or that he was starting to become more like the real Omi.

"Foolish Weiß." Nagi murmured, emerging from his hiding place. 'Omi' turned around to face the younger boy. "I can't believe you got lured into a trap so easily."

"It was you guys all along?!" 'Omi' exclaimed.

Nagi rolled his eyes. "Sad to say, it was. Schuldig came up with the idea to kill people with E in their last names and Crawford loved it. But that's enough talking for now." With that, Nagi held up his hands and focused all his power onto his opponent. 'Omi' had no idea what to do. Should he shoot the boy with the genki arrows of destruction or with the genki darts of doom?

*/Please don't throw me against a wall. Please don't throw me against a wall. Please don't throw me against a wall./* 'Omi' began to pray to whoever was listening up there.

Nagi picked him up telekinetically...and threw him against a wall. 'Omi' let out a scream as the pain shot through his back. Damn, could that kid hurt someone without lifting a finger! His spine was still tingling as Nagi loosened that telekinetic grip on him.

"You're weak as always." He said, sneering at the sight of a hurt 'Omi'. Then he turned the (now) young boy upside down and slammed him into the wall again, causing 'Omi' to cry out. "But you're not fighting like normal. Frankly, I'm disappointed in you."

'Omi' glared at him. "Screw you."

"I'm flattered you wish to do that but I'm afraid I'm not your type."

*/Jokes are not this kid's strong point./* 'Omi' decided, managing to roll his eyes when he heard that. He caught 'Ken' trying to fend off Farfarello, who was as relentless as he was crazy. 'Ken' was getting lucky so far but who knew how long he could him hold off ? Then they had to worry about 'Aya' and 'Yohji' who were no doubt fighting Crawford and Schuldig.

Now Nagi turned 'Omi' around so he faced the wall and slammed him into head first! 'Omi' didn't scream; he howled like a child who fell on the sidewalk and got a scratch on his knee.

"Careful." He said in a hoarse whisper. "Don't do that again. I just got my navel pierced."

'Ken', who had been fighting Farfarello all this time, heard this. Forgetting about what he was doing, he turned around. "YOU DID WHAT?!"

This gave Farfarello the opportunity to knock 'Ken' down to the ground. Nagi let 'Omi' fall to the ground at last. The moment his opponent stood up, he did something no one expected him to do. Telekinetically, he lifted up 'Omi's' shirt to see if the navel was *really* pierced.

"Hey!" 'Omi' pushed the shirt back down and glared at Nagi. "Do you mind?!"

"Your navel isn't pierced." Nagi smirked.

"You still shouldn't have looked under my shirt, you pervert!"

'Ken' was relieved to hear that 'Omi' hadn't pierced his navel. It was a good thing to because Farfarello was ready to shove the pointed end of his knife straight into 'Ken's' forehead. He kicked Farfarello off him and stood up. 'Ken' began to pity the real Ken. Was this how bad the fights were between them? Did always come this close to tasting death?

Meanwhile, the fight between 'Omi' and Nagi had turned nasty. It became verbal.

"For the hundredth time, I have NO interest in you whatsoever!" Nagi snapped.

"Not from where I'm standing. You were eyeing my abs like they were candy!"

"I was not!"

"You were too!"

"I was not!"

"You were too!"

"I was not. If you weren't such a bad liar and so self-conscious, I wouldn't have looked under your shirt and checked out your flabby stomach!"

"My stomach is not flabby!"

"Oh yes, it is." Nagi was half enjoying this little verbal fight and half growing tired of it. Bombay didn't act this childish. He didn't start up stupid fights like this either. And certainly didn't seem *that* self-conscious. Nagi wondered what would happen if he decided to take the kid's shorts off telekinetically.

'Ken' was also growing tired of fighting Farfarello. Why wasn't this guy leaving him along yet? Who knew how many times he had to dodge that stupid knife!

"Fight, little kitten." Farfarello muttered, licking the knife before trying to gouge 'Ken's' eyes out with it. "Fight for your life! God hates watching you suffer like this. God hates it when I try to kill innocent, little kittens."

"That's enough!" 'Ken' snapped, finally getting the strength to knock Farfarello down. While Farfarello didn't feel the pain, it did keep him in a slight daze. 'Omi' decided to ignore Nagi and try to help 'Ken'. Nagi, pleased that the fight was through, ran over to Farfarello. 'Omi' held out his hands and helped 'Ken' stand up.

"Are you all right, O…Ken-kun?" He asked.

"Fine. But we've got to find the others. They're probably fighting the other members of Schwarz."

"That's what I thought. Let's ditch these guys and help them."

"You're not going anywhere, Flabby!" Nagi telekinetically pushed 'Omi' into a wall again. Farfarello, who recovered from his daze rather quickly, jumped
'Ken' once again.

Evidently, their battle wasn't over yet. And from the looks of it, it wouldn't be over for a while.

* * *

"Shi-ne." 'Yohji' whispered, getting ready to strangle Schuldig. Due to his confusion from reading their minds, the telepath found himself in a sticky situation. Balinese had tangled him up in wire and he was going to die. Unless Crawford helped him, he was going to die.

*/BRAD!!!!!!!!!!!!/*

Crawford looked up in time to see Schuldig. He looked like some prey caught in some spider's web. Balinese was right there, a look of hatred burning in his jade eyes. It was strange, considering that Abyssinian usually had that look. But there was no time to think about that. Schuldig was in trouble. Schuldig needed to be saved.

"Get away from him!" Crawford snapped, pushing 'Aya' to the ground and pulling out a gun. Then he aimed it at 'Yohji' and fired. 'Yohji' managed to move away so that the bullet didn't kill him but it did graze his arm. He let the wire fall from his hands, loosening Schuldig from his bonds.

"Oooh, my head." Schuldig moaned as he fell to the ground. Balinese, now injured, also dropped onto his knees and clutched his arm. Abyssinian saw this and ran over to him. Crawford ran over to help Schuldig.

"Brad…they…they…" Schuldig tried to say but he was hyperventilating. Crawford put his hands on top of the German's shoulders.

"What did they do?" He asked.

"It's…hard…to…explain. My…head…hurts. Need…twenty…aspirin."

"You'll be fine." Crawford promised.

Meanwhile, 'Aya' was clutching 'Yohji' a few feet away from Crawford and Schuldig. "Koi? Koi, hang in there! I'll get you out of here."

"It's okay." 'Yohji' murmured, still holding his bleeding arm. "I'm fine, love. I'm not hurt that badly. I can still fight."

He tried to move his arm but the pain intensified. He groaned and fell back into 'Aya's' arms. 'Aya' put 'Yohji's' head on his lap so that his lover could have some rest. True, 'Yohji' wasn't critically hurt but he was in pain. If there was one thing 'Aya' really hated, it was seeing his lover in pain.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" He asked in a whisper. Crawford and Schuldig, who seemed to have forgotten the fight, looked like they were comforting each other.

"Kiss me." 'Yohji' whispered.

"W…what?" 'Aya' sputtered.

"Don't make me repeat myself. I told you to kiss me and on the lips only. I won't accept anything else."

"B…b…but, koi! I thought I told you I don't feel…"

"…Comfortable about kissing Yohji. I know. But I'm not asking you for much. You're fine with talking to Yohji, hugging Yohji, even holding Yohji while he's hurt, aren't you?"

"Yes, but I know it's really you underneath."

"Then just pretend that Yohji's lips happen to be the same as mine. Pretend you're kissing me like always."

"Um…"

"Look at me, Ken. Look at me as if I'm Aya, not Yohji." 'Yohji' begged, his face twisting in pain. 'Aya' still felt doubtful about the whole thing but he decided to give it a shot. He pretended that it was Aya's body, not Yohji's, that he was holding. Slowly, the image of Yohji disappeared and Aya appeared. The blond hair and jade eyes melted as 'Aya' imagined holding his lover there. Then Yohji was gone and Aya was there. His Aya, with his blood-red hair and beautiful violet eyes, was now staring back at him. And the lips, beautiful and pale, were begging to be kissed.

"Kiss me, Ken." Imaginary Aya's eyes seemed to say. "Kiss me and make me feel good."

'Aya' nodded. Then he bent down and kissed his lover on the lips.

Unfortunately, Schuldig had turned around in time to see this. The headache came back all over again in full force. That wasn't right! He knew that Siberian was Abyssinian's lover, not Balinese! What the hell was Abyssinian doing? Groaning, Schuldig leaned on Crawford for support.

"Brad...that's not right." He murmured, holding his head. Crawford looked over at the two lovers in disgust. He was going to make those two pay for what they did to Schuldig. He'd never seen the telepath this miserable before. Clearly, they had wounded him in such a way, not even Crawford knew how to cure him. He then made up his mind.

"We're getting out of here." He said. "We'll pick up Nagi and Farfarello on the way."

"But Brad..." Schuldig began but Crawford silenced him.

"No." He whispered. "You're not well enough to fight. We'll get revenge on them later. But not now."

"It's weird, Brad." Schuldig murmured as Crawford helped him up. "I don't know what's going on. I expect to hear the same things and now I hear Siberian's voice in Abyssinian and Abyssinian's voice in Balinese. Then earlier today, I heard Balinese inside Bombay. Something's not right, Braddy. Something's not right at all."

"Are you sure about it?"

"Positive. Would you expect to find Abyssinian thinking about...Neko the neko?"

Crawford had no answer to that. He didn't know what Neko the neko was...and he didn't want to.

TBC...

And I've finished another chapter. Gomen for the long wait. I started another Weiß fic as well, "Spirit of Christmas" which is a Brad x Schu, a RanKen one-shot which I will finish and post on my birthday (Jan 12th) and I've been working a lot on my original stuff. Okay, I have no idea what'll happen in the next chapter yet but I should soon^^. In the meantime, I will enjoy my new slaves. (yanks Aya and Schu's leashes)

Aya: I hate you.

Schu: Do you realize my collar has the name 'Aya' on it and his says 'Schu'?

Me: Keep quiet, slaves! For now, you work for me!

Oh yeah...CONTEST! CONTEST! CONTEST!

A very easy contest! You don't need much but your creative, little minds readers. Here's the thing: Carter-san here sucks at coming up with titles. I mean, I can come up with the story just fine. But when it comes to titles...well, I spend sleepless nights trying to come up with something decent. This time, however, I've decided to hold a little contest.

I have two more stories coming up after "Switch" is over with. One is about Kenken finding his family, another is about Aya who gets hypnotized and does crazy stuff. Both are chock full of RanKen goodness as well some other couples (Schu x Ken, Schu x Brad, etc.). But they are both mostly RanKen (or I might make one KenRan. You know, I don't really care who's seme and who's uke. I just like them together). I have the stories more or less. However, I am lacking a, you guessed it, title. BOTH NEED TITLES! So here's where you come in.

For one or both of the stories, I need you to come up with a title. I don't care how bad you think it is. If you have one, send it to me! You can send me your suggestions in one of four ways.

1) IN YOUR REVIEW! If you've come up with an idea now from looking at the summaries below (which are obviously below), send me the title when you write up your review!

2) EMAIL! If you think that the summaries aren't enough help and want to see a sneak peek, that's okay. On my ujournal at www.ujournal.org/~carta, I will post little scenarios from both stories sometime within the week. Then, if you wish, you can email me at Raven_DeLuca@excite.com. I check email everyday. (Unless something like a storm comes and nearly wipes us away-_-0)

3) IN MY BLOG/UJOURNAL! As I said, scenarios will be posted on my blog sometime soon along with the official rules to the contest. If you think you can't get something out of one scenario, you can request for a different scenario and I'll gladly write one up. However, I will NOT write the entire story in my blog. I want to leave some surprises for you guys^^.

4) AIM! (Yes, Kami-chan, I've been trying to get through to you but you're never there!) For those of you who have AIM, feel free to look me up and send me your suggestion. My User name is kenfujimiya and I'm still getting used to having Instant Messanger. But as time flies by, I should get the hang of it. Mids knows, she finally got through to me after what seems like weeks-_-0.

Heck, you can send me the suggestion in all four ways if you want! I will get it eventually.

-Your title can't have any foul language in it (due to FFN's rules) and it must be able to fit in the title. I think the most that fits is ten words.

-When you send me your suggestion, please put "KEN FAMILY" if it's a title for the first one or "STRIPTEASE RAN" if it's a title for the second one. If you don't put that there, I'll have no clue which story you're sending the title for.

-You are allowed to enter both contests and you are allowed to submit more than one title per contest if you feel it strengthens your chance of winning.

-I'll have two grand prize winners as well as ten runner-ups. The grand prize winners get their title put on my fic and get the fic dedicated to them (and they'll be very lengthy, I guarantee you). You will also get the choice to either write a fic with me or receive a one-shot with the couple of your choice. The runner-ups will get small, short one-shot fics with the couples of their choice. (Yes, I'll even attempt one-shots of the couples I don't like such as Yohji x Omi and Nagi x Brad).

Now the summaries...

Summary #1: Ken gets injured one day and is taken to the hospital to be treated. Upon arrival, he is shocked to find that the doctor and nurse who are treating happen to be his long lost sisters. They've missed their brother and want to know all about his life. However, doubts clutter his mind as to whether or not he should tell them the whole truth. Weiß has been and should remain a secret to all. They've kept this truth from everyone they meet. But this time, it's different. This is Ken's family...(Pairings: Ran x Ken, Ken x Schu, Ran x Schu…in short, a Schu/Ken/Ran triangle which ends Ranken) More angst in this one.

Summary # 2: During a mission, Aya runs into the target who also happens to be a master at hypnotism. He hypnotizes Aya minutes before he is killed. Now he's gone...but the effects of the spells still linger inside Aya. Now our favorite redhead is doing everything from stripping down in the Koneko to seducing everyone he comes into contact with, mainly Ken. Can our dear Ranners ever get over these silly spells? Or is he doomed to keep stripping and seducing against his will forever? (Pairings: Aya x pretty much everyone…but ends up RanKen)

Both authors and non-authors are welcome to try out. Non-authors, please leave me an email address so I can contact you if you win. ('Non-authors' is just my term for people who aren't authors at FFN). Same goes for authors at FFN who don't leave their email addresses up on their profiles.

Contest ends February 21st, 2003 (My brother's 17th birthday^^). Winners are announced on February 28th, 2003. (Omi's b-day…or close to it^^)

I think I've made myself clear. Any questions? Comments? Pick any of the four methods above to ask me them, preferably email.

Well, I'm going to enjoy my birthday cake and make these slaves of mine do some work. (Yanks their leashes). C'mon, you two. It's time.

Review! Flames not acceptable.

Ja!
