*breathes out a sigh of relief*

Oro...well over 200 hundred reviews...and only my second Weiss story. I don't know what to say.

Omi: What about 'thank you'?

Me: Good point! But before I do that, I have to address a few issues that came up.

Well, Moku, you asked me if this will turn out to be Omi/Nagi or Nagi/Yohji. I personally don't like Yohji/Nagi. (I'm sorry, diehard fans of that couple but I don't see Yohji swinging towards him.) As for the whole Omi x Nagi deal...much as I like that couple, this story is almost over and I really can't find a way to fit it in. The next story I write, however, I'll be sure to have an Omi x Nagi moment. Perhaps the sequel might have it...

And that leads me to the second thing you asked! Will there be a sequel with Schwarz being switched? Perhaps. The thing is many people have also asked if *they* can write the sequel. I've told them they could. However, if no one does, come back in a few months and bug me to write one. I will.

So! Here we are, dear readers. Second to the last chapter of this confusing but hopefully entertaining story. Don't cry, everyone. There will be more stories from me soon.

Brad: I'm predicting you're going to be flooded by tears very soon.

Me: *shrugs* I can't help it. I want to get started on my other stuff. Anyway, I need to recap. 'Omi' found an ugly orange sweater to replace the one 'Aya' destroyed, 'Yohji' likes Jane Fonda, 'Omi' can't get a date, Schu and Brad spent the night together, and Farfie and Nagi spied on them.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED! Gomen, I haven't made a list this time. The formal thank you is coming in the end including those who read the story's beginning, to those who started in the middle, and to those who chose to read the story now.

And without further ado, I begin the second to last chapter...

* * *

'Omi' sat outside the shop on top of his car, holding the new orange turtleneck. Night was starting to fall and he wanted to get this over with before it became completely dark. He told 'Aya' the great news and asked him to meet out front. While he was happy that this problem would be solved, he was hurting inside and it wasn't cause the girls wouldn't date him. For the first time in a long time, he was feeling sad. After what 'Ken' told him, he was afraid of losing himself and turning into the real Omi for good. He'd have to go through high school again and get bitched out by their dear leader for being a Takatori. Of course, the real Aya didn't bitch Omi out but still...the future did not look good. And 'Aya' and 'Yohji' still didn't know. Maybe it was a good thing. Those two didn't seem to be changing much. Maybe if they never knew, it would be...

"Yohji!"

'Omi' turned to find 'Aya' running up to him, looking very frantic. He knew why.

"It's about time." He muttered.

"Well?" Aya asked, holding out his hands. "Did you get it? My koi wants to wear that to bed."

'Omi' wondered why the hell *anyone* would wear something as ugly as this to bed but he didn't ask. Besides, his job was to save 'Aya's' ass from 'Yohji's' wrath and he had. Everything would be fine from now on. He would be saved, 'Aya' would be saved, 'Yohji' would have that monstrous thing called a "sweater" back, and 'Ken' would still be watching Fruits Basket in his room.

"Ask and ye shall receive." He said, pulling out the orange sweater. 'Aya' almost burst into tears when he saw that. It was as beautiful as the old one, perhaps more. It was as if a heavenly light was shining on it.

"Dammit, I left the headlights to the car on." 'Omi' complained, getting off the hood and turning them off. Once again, the sweater looked dull. But who cared? The sweater was here and 'Yohji' would never know what happened to the old one.

"I cannot thank you enough." 'Aya' said, smelling the sweater. It did smell fresh and new. His koi would be pleased.

"Just make sure I don't see him wearing that sweater. I mean, he's still in *my* body and you know that if *I* went out wearing that thing in public, the ladies would burn me in effigy." 'Omi' yawned.

"Oh, he won't! I'll make sure..."

"And what sucks is that he'll always be in my body." 'Omi' muttered. 'Aya' snapped his mouth shut and listened. "He's going to turn into me and that'll be that. I'm going to sickeningly genki and big-eyed for the rest of my life!"

'Aya' looked worried and confused. "What are you talking about?"

"You don't know? The chibi has come up with the conclusion that sooner or later, we're all going to be turning into someone else. It's all thanks to the switching of our minds and bodies. You're going to become Aya, Aya will become me, Omi will become you, and I will become Omi. Unless we find a way to switch back to normal, you'll never be Kenken again."

The whole world came down with a thud. No one had told him this till now! 'Aya' tried to put together everything 'Omi' had said into perspective.

"So what you mean to tell me is that I will eventually become Aya?" He asked.

'Omi' nodded sadly. "And seeing that we still have no solutions from Kritiker on how to fix this problem, chances are high we're going to be stuck in these bodies forever."

*/So, in short, he's saying I will never be able to hold my Aya again. I'll never be able to kiss his real lips or run hands down his real chest or touch his real body ever again./* The thought depressed 'Aya' as he hugged the sweater. 'Omi' realized what he had said and he gasped.

"Oh shit! The chibi wanted to tell you that himself! I wasn't supposed to say a word about this! Sorry, Kenken."

"No, it's okay." 'Aya' nodded, breathing hard. "I'm glad to know this. And I'm sure Omi will understand. If not, I can talk to him. I'll talk to Aya while I'm at it."

'Omi' noticed the look on 'Aya's' face. "Don't worry so much about it, Kenken. We'll be out of this mess. I promise."

"What if we don't?" 'Aya' asked. "Will I lose all my memories? Or will they replaced with the ones Aya has? And will I ever be able to play soccer again? Oh, and what about Aya? I can't imagine the rest of my life without him, Yohji! I don't want to see him turn into you! What am I going to do if we never get switched back?"

'Omi' wished he had an answer.

* * *

"I'm telling you one last time! BUY SOMETHING OR GET OUT!" 'Yohji' screamed for the two millionth time. It was another busy day in the flower shop and the usual crowd of screaming girls was back. No one seemed to care that 'Yohji' was trying to send them out the door instead of 'Aya'. It wasn't raining, thank goodness, but the girls were still cluttering up the place. 'Ken' and 'Omi' both were trying to keep everything normal. 'Aya', however, was too busy thinking of what 'Omi' had said last night. His lover still didn't know about this. 'Aya' wasn't sure if he wanted to tell him.

*/I should./* He told himself. */Aya won't be too happy with the idea but he has to know the truth. Still.../*

"Look, if you aren't buying anything, go home!" 'Yohji' snapped again.

'Aya' finally made up his mind. 'Yohji' had to know the truth. He walked over to where his lover was and pulled him away from the squealing schoolgirls.

"Koi, we need to talk." 'Aya' whispered, pulling his confused lover into the closet. ("Oh, that's really inconspicuous!" 'Omi' said sarcastically when he saw that.) Several girls moaned when they saw 'Yohji' and 'Aya' disappear but they weren't unhappy for long. They started bothering 'Omi' and 'Ken'.

While the girls squealed outside, 'Aya' explained the whole situation to 'Yohji' inside the closet. He told him about how the switch could possibly affect them and how hard life might end up. 'Yohji' listened the whole time, not saying a word, but growing worried inside.

On the outside, 'Omi' and 'Ken' observed the closed closet door. 'Omi' sighed, feeling bad about what he told 'Aya'.

"I didn't mean to..." He murmured. 'Ken' turned around, realizing what he meant.

"They know?" 'Ken' asked. "You already told them?"

"I'm sorry." 'Omi' apologized to 'Ken', watching the two lovers come out of the closet. 'Aya' and 'Yohji' looked at each other for a few minutes. Then 'Aya' leaned over and kissed his boyfriend. "I said that on impulse. I forgot you wanted to tell them yourself."

"It's okay." 'Ken' sighed as he looked at 'Aya' kissing 'Yohji'. He smiled sadly. "In a way, I'm glad you told them. I had no idea how I'd break the news to them myself. It's good you did it on impulse. I think we should close early today so we can sort all this out. C'mon, Yohji-kun."

"Well, they don't look worried." 'Omi' said. He decided to leave the two of them alone and join 'Ken' in closing the store. They began showing the girls, now whining, where the door was while 'Aya' and 'Yohji' kept kissing. 'Omi' had a point. They didn't look worried.

But in reality, both of them were worried. 'Aya' didn't like the idea of being stuck in his koi's body forever. He wanted Kritiker to come up with a solution soon. 'Yohji' didn't look depressed but inside, he hated the whole idea. The switch put their relationship on the line already. 'Aya' had gotten used to pretending Yohji's body was his lover's body. But now this...

"You're the best koi in the whole world, whether you become me or not." 'Yohji' murmured, interrupting 'Aya's' thoughts. He gave him a hug, something very unlike 'Yohji'. "I won't forget what we've had together."

'Aya' nodded miserably. "But I don't want to be you. I mean... I love you! I love the person you are. It's just..."

"You don't want to be me." 'Yohji' finished off.

'Aya' turned red. "Sorry if it hurt your feelings."

"No, you didn't. I'm not thrilled with the idea myself. Do you think I *want* to turn into *Yohji*?"

"I heard that!" 'Omi' snapped. 'Yohji' ignored him.

"He has an interesting body, huh?" 'Aya' asked with a smile.

'Yohji' lowered his voice. "He has more hormones than anything else. And he has quite a few condoms. Personalized condoms, I might add."

'Aya' tried hard not to laugh. "Yohji has *personalized* condoms?!"

"They are in his underwear drawer."

'Omi' and 'Ken' watched from a distance as the two had their "private" conversation. 'Aya' began laughing at something 'Yohji' said and 'Omi' looked suspicious. 'Yohji' better not have told him about the personalized condoms in his underwear drawer!

"Look at those two." 'Omi' made a face. "They're getting too close for comfort."

"Well, they *are* together." 'Ken' pointed out. "Are you getting jealous or something, Yohji-kun?"

"Me? Jealous of two gay guys? Nah!" 'Omi' shook his head, sweeping up the floor. Though he did admit, every time 'Aya' and 'Yohji' kissed, he grew envious. They were back to being serious again.

"I love you no matter what happens to us now." 'Yohji' whispered. "Believe me."

The two of them shared a quick kiss for old times sake. All they could do now was hope that something happened to switch them back.

Because Schuldig and Crawford hadn't left each other's side since last night and Farfarello was too busy listening to the sounds behind Schuldig's bedroom door, Nagi had been given the daunting task of going to the enemy's hideout and delivering the news. He didn't want to. He had schoolwork. But Crawford forced him out the door anyway. So Nagi dragged himself to where Weiß was. He wasn't surprised to see the shop closed after five. He wasn't here to buy flowers. He was on a certain mission.

*/It's show time./* He told himself, finally approaching the back door of Koneko no Sume Ie. He knew they were inside so he knocked three times. It opened. He saw all four of them inside. 'Yohji' got up but 'Aya' forced to sit down. 'Omi', who was the one who opened the door, glared at him.

"What are you doing here?" He demanded.

"On behalf of Schwarz, I would like to ask you all to a challenge." Nagi began.

"Challenge?" 'Aya' asked, looking curious. Nagi raised an eyebrow for he was amazed that the normally stoic and sullen leader of Weiss was the first one to speak up. Maybe Schuldig wasn't going out of his mind. Maybe something *had* happened to them.

"A challenge." He assured them. "Tonight at ten-thirty. Same place where we fought last time. Come prepared."

'Omi' snorted. "What is this, an invitation to a fight or a tea party?"

Nagi could have said many nasty things at that moment but refrained from doing so. Instead, he ignored 'Omi's' comment and turned to the other three members of Weiss. 'Yohji' was listening but not looking or caring. 'Aya' and 'Ken' were confused. Yes, something was definitely wrong here.

"Do you accept?" He asked. 'Yohji', 'Ken', and 'Omi' exchanged looks. Schwarz wanted to battle again? What for?

"Wait a minute. We need to_" 'Ken' began.

"We accept." 'Aya' said and he was sorry that he had. The others glared at him.

Nagi looked curious and surprised. "You do?"

"Way to go, Kenken." 'Omi' muttered.

"Yes, we accept." 'Yohji' added. "We will be there."

'Omi's' jaw dropped. "But...but..."

"Don't you think..." 'Ken' added.

"No." 'Yohji' said coldly. "They want a fight. They got one."

"Then I will be on my way. Till then, Weiß." Nagi was satisfied and started to walk away. He had to tell the others that everything was going according to plan.

"Hey, Nagi! Wait up!" 'Omi' called out, surprising everyone. Nagi paused and turned around. The others couldn't help but watch the exchange that would take place.

"Yes?" He asked, slightly annoyed. He wanted to go back to the others as soon as possible. He didn't think anyone noticed he was gone though. Crawford was probably still nursing Schuldig and Farfarello was spying on them because, in the Irishman's own words, "Watching people without them knowing it hurts God". But Nagi still wanted to go back. What did Bombay want with him anyway?

"You said I didn't pierce my navel, right?" 'Omi' said slyly.

Nagi did not like where this conversation was going headed. "Yes. So?"

'Ken' was also afraid of what 'Omi' was going to do next. "Y...Omi, what are you talking about?"

"This!" 'Omi' happily turned around for a second and lifted his shirt with flourish. But that second was enough to make 'Ken' lose his balance and collapse onto the couch. Both 'Aya' and 'Yohji' exchanged horrified looks. When 'Omi' turned Nagi (shirt still up), the telekinetic also look sickened.

Straight through 'Omi's bellybutton was a safety pin.

"He didn't." 'Ken' whispered. "He didn't pierce my bellybutton."

'Aya' nodded sadly. "He did."

'Ken' cringed.

"How lovely." Nagi said, looking disgusted at the safety pin. He was also slightly puzzled. Bombay was weak but not stupid. Why'd he go and pierce his navel? And of all things, why did he put a *safety pin* through it?

'Ken', meanwhile, was ready to have a heart attack. He fell back on the couch, clutching his chest. 'Omi' was oblivious to his teammate's plight so he kept trying to impress Nagi.

"Better yet, they did it with a needle that wasn't sterilized." 'Omi' grinned wickedly. Nagi rolled his eyes and 'Ken' felt his heart skipping another beat.

"Don't worry. He probably didn't do anything else." 'Aya' assured him.

However, 'Omi' wasn't through. He was showing off what he had put on his hip.

"Check this out too." He said, pulling down the shorts slightly. 'Ken' squinted his eyes to see what that was. Though he couldn't tell for sure, it looked very much like a tattoo. He inhaled sharply.

Nagi's eyes widened. There, as bright as the sun and as clear as water, was the ugliest tattoo he had ever seen. No, he didn't think the tattoo was vulgar or anything. He thought it was ugly because of how *badly* it was done. On 'Omi's' hip was the tattoo of a woman. She would have been pretty if she had a face and an ass. Instead, the person put this on 'Omi' forgot to add these little details. She wasn't wearing anything either. Wrapped around her body was a pink ribbon with the words "GENKI STUD MUFFIN" written on it. Nagi tried his hardest not to laugh at that.

"Genki stud muffin?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "Genki stud muffin? You?"

"Damn straight! That's what my new tattoo says, doesn't it?" 'Omi' said happily. 'Ken' began to hyperventilate. The jerk had gone ahead and did something to his body! Now he'd have a safety pin through his bellybutton and the word 'Genki Stud Muffin' written on his hip forever!

Nagi looked over to where the others were. 'Ken' looked ready to die, 'Aya' looked worried, and 'Yohji' still wasn't giving a damn about anything. Something was *definitely* wrong with this picture.

"Well, congratulations on your piercing and tattoo." Nagi said, not really meaning that. He took one look over to where 'Ken' was. The poor guy was turning blue. "Don't kill your teammates. That's our job."

"Whatever." 'Omi' rolled his eyes.

"Are you through?" 'Yohji' asked, looking annoyed.

"I am." Nagi said. Then he grew serious. "Remember your promise, Weiß."

"We'll be there." 'Aya' assured him. Now, Nagi was *satisfied* and he walked away. 'Ken' finally passed out on the couch due to shock. 'Omi' smiled and silently congratulated himself.

"I think I fooled him with my fake tattoo and piercing." 'Omi' said, pleased with himself. He plucked the safety pin out of his navel with ease.

"He wasn't the only one you fooled." 'Aya' said. 'Omi' turned around and saw what he was talking about. 'Yohji' shot him a glare and pointed. 'Ken' was lying on the couch, unconscious and showing no sign of waking up anytime soon.

'Omi' grinned sheepishly. "I should have told him they were fake, right?"

'Yohji's' glare hardened as he nodded. "You're lucky he didn't die of heart failure."

TBC...
