Hello! Since I saw a Miko Yuki and Doctor Watanabe yesterday during the Janken... well... their image got stuck in my head and give me another plot idea... so I tried to write it and to the insistence of a certain someone.
Also, let me know if the plot/idea was taken.
And sorry (in advance) if you see any typo, wrong grammar and the likes while reading.
Enjoy reading.
PS: I'm still thinking about the title so for now I'll use the Skeptic title... I'll just edit this later.
SKEPTIC
Chapter 1
"Do you believe in curses?" The miko asked the young man as she prepares some tea.
The man's brows furrows in confusion. "No. Curses or supernatural things like that doesn't have any logical nor scientific explanation. We live in a modern world led by logic and politics... How could people find time to believe in those when they are too busy finding ways to live for another 10 or 20 years?" He replied.
'My question can be answered by a simple Yes or No,' The miko giggled to herself, while the man looks at her with wary eyes, 'He doesn't have to give such a detailed reply... so serious in such a young age.'
The man sighs, looking at the zen garden outside. 'Why am I here again?' he asked himself, 'Oh yeah... my apartment burned down to ashes because of that effin' drunkard.' He scowls, remembering what happened a few days before.
--2 days before--
"Dad, I'm going to be fine... I'll just have to find an affordable apartment close to the hospital. For now, I'll just stay in this hotel for another day or two." The young man replied to his phone.
"But Mayu..." His dad's worried voice was heard through the phone's speaker, "You can just finish your internship in Europe or in US... Your mom and I keeps on thinking about your condition. We've been worried sick."
"Dad... I want to finish my internship and serve Japan for a change. We've been aboard for as long as I can remember. I missed Japan and now that I'm back here, I planned to serve this country." Mayu replied, while he arrange his clothes in his bag.
"Fine." Mayu's dad sighs in defeat, "We have a family friend there. He was a close friend of mine way way back from nursery years until college, while his wife was your mother's best friend." His dad told him. "I contacted him and told him about your problem... he agreed to take care of you in our stead-"
"Dad!" Mayu cuts in, "I'm fine..."
--Hours Later--
"I told him I'm going to be fine." Mayu huffed as he pays the taxi, leaving him alone in front of a huge Torii and long stairway. "So this is the shrine... I guess this place is convenient enough. There's a convenient store down the road, train station and bus stations near by..." He noted as he looks around, "and there's the hospital." He grins, but it disappears when he remembers the long stairway. He looks at the stairways and readies his bag, "At least I'll have a regular exercise with these stairs."
After a hundred or more steps he saw another Torii, but this time it is much larger than the one in the bottom of the stairway. "Hello?" Mayu shouted, "HELLO? ANYONE IN HERE?" He looks around. 'Maybe this place is actually deserted and my father is playing tricks on me for not agreeing with him' He thought, and wanders around the shrine. Behind the shrine, he saw a small storage house with weird strips of paper decorated the storage's door and walls. He leans closer to get a good look, "Is this Paper Charm or Seal?" He asked himself.
"Hey!" A woman's voice yells at him. "Don't touch those O-fuda."
"Eh?" Mayu quickly steps away from the storage, "Sorry." He said.
A young woman in Miko uniform moves towards him, and drags him away from the storage. "Who are you any-" The miko asked, but was interrupted by a man's voice.
"Yuki dear! The head priest from a Kyoto Shrine invites every head priest of every Shinto shrine for a spiritual journey around Japan!" The man, wearing a white traditional Japanese clothe. "Oh yeah! My best friend's son is coming today be sure to treat him well. His name is Watanabe Mayu."
"Uh... That's me." The young man behind Yuki said. "I'm Watanabe Mayu... Son of Watanabe Yuhito."
"Oho!! You're Mayu-kun!!" The priest smiles, "You got Yuhito's looks!" He pats Mayu's shoulder, "By the way... She's my daughter." The Priest steps behind the miko, "Kashiwagi Yuki."
"Nice to meet you." Yuki bowed politely.
"Yuki. Please take care of Mayu-kun and the shrine, okay?" The priest smiles, going inside their house, located on the far right of the shrine area, and emerge with all his bags, ready to leave the place. "I have to go now!" He waves at the two and leaves the shrine.
"Take Care Father." Yuki waves back, while Mayu just watch the man leave with his eyes wide open.
"Wait!" Mayu grabs Yuki's shoulder, "Your father's leaving you with a stranger and he's ok with that?!"
"Well... You're his best friend's son right?" Yuki replied, tilting her head to the side.
"Forget that!!!" Mayu said, "It's the fact that you're a girl and I'm a boy! Please tell me you have a helper or that your mother's inside your house."
"Mother died when I was young. Father doesn't want to pay any helper, although we have volunteers every weekend." Yuki replied, "and what's the wrong if you're a boy and I'm a girl?"
"Everything!!!" Mayu cried. 'You're too innocent for you're own good Yuki.' he thought.
--Back to Present--
After Mayu finished his part of the chore in the Kashiwagi household, he wanders around the shrine again and ends up standing in front of the storage where he and Yuki first met. "Hmm... I wonder why Yuki's protective of this storage." Mayu stared at the sealed door, "She wouldn't know that I enter the storage if I carefully take this o-fuda and post it back to its place." he smirked as he carefully peel off the o-fuda from the door and opens it. He carefully folds the o-fuda, puts it in his pocket and enter the storage.
Inside, Mayu finds a lone box in the middle of the storage room, while other several boxes was arranged by the shelves. "What makes this so special?" Mayu asked touching the box.
"Mayu!!! Don't touch that!!!!" Yuki yelled from the door, but suddenly the inside of the room and Mayu was covered by a bright light.
I'm gonna need some help here. Since Mayu's going to be cursed in the next chapter... The problem is I'm still drawing a blank whenever I think about what curse should I give Mayu and how will it trigger. So if you have any suggestion please let me hear or rather read it. (Just think about Ranma 1/2 or Fruits Basket)
Thank you and below are some facts regarding the story...
Facts:
(got the sources through google)
Torii: traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine, where it symbolically marks the transition from the profane to the sacred
O-fuda: type of household amulet or talisman, issued by a Shinto shrine, hung in the house for protection

Chapter 2
"Mayu!!! Don't touch that!!!!" Yuki yelled from the door..
...
.....
........
"Ugh" Mayu groans, trying to roll to his side. He opens his eyes, 'What happened last night?' he mentally asked himself. He shakes his head and proceed to fold his futon. He opens the shouji door and looks around the empty hallway. "Yuki?" He shouts, walking along the hallway.
"I'm in the kitchen, Mayu-kun!" Yuki replied.
Mayu trudge towards the kitchen. "Yuk-- What are you doing to that egg?!" Mayu cried, rushing to Yuki's side.
Yuki smiles at Mayu, "I'm going to cook some breakfast."
Mayu's eyes are full of doubt as he watch Yuki cracked a small hole on the egg and let the egg white drip out of the cracked hole in to the bowl. 'Isn't that a way to separate the white yolk from the yellow yolk?' Mayu thought, while Yuki hums. "Uh... Yuki?"
"Yes?"
"What are you going to do with those eggs?" Mayu asked again, "I mean... the dish for breakfast."
"Scrambled egg" Yuki smiles, while Mayu stood by Yuki's side with his mouth agape in pure shock.
Mayu holds Yuki's hand, "Let me cook some breakfast instead." He asked Yuki.
"But you're a guest, Mayu-kun."
"Guest or not, I can just let you do all the household chore, Yuki... Especially now that it's only me and you living in here." Mayu smiles, 'Besides, seems like you don't even know a thing about what you're doing.' he mentally added.
"Ok then... I'll just cook the rice."
"No! I mean... No, I'll do that!" Mayu said quickly as he imagines Yuki doing something inhumane to the rice that they're going to eat for breakfast. Yuki pouts. "Fine. You prepare the table... I'll do the breakfast everyday. Is that fine with you?"
Yuki grins, "Yes!" and she begins to set the table for two, while Mayu prepares their breakfast.
While eating, Yuki keeps on staring at Mayu. "What?" Mayu finally asked Yuki.
"Do you feel anything weird?"
Mayu lift a brow at the question, "No? Should I feel something? Wait... What's that?" Mayu asked when he saw something creeping up on Yuki's shoulder. "Is that a... a BLOODY HAND?!" Mayu screamed and fell out of his chair.
Yuki looks at her shoulder, and takes the severed blood hand. "It's a hand," Yuki nodded and say a short shinto chant. The hand glows and slowly disappears. "I'm surprised that you can see them." Yuki drinks her tea.
"Them?" Mayu asked.
"Yes. Them."
"Eh?" Then Mayu realized that there are several ghost looking at them from behind the corner. "You're kidding right?! Ghost doesn't exist. Ghost doesn't exist." Mayu repeat his mantra as he huddle himself in a corner.
"I wonder if that's your curse?" Yuki murmurs, looking at her tea.
"Ghost does-- What curse?!" Mayu turns to Yuki.
"I told not to touch those o-fuda." Yuki told Mayu, "That storage contains sealed evil spirits... that's why we have to reinforce the whole storage with o-fuda every year."
"And the box in the middle?"
"That box contains some sort of a devil-like spirit that curses anyone." Yuki explained.
"You're kidding right?" Mayu gave Yuki a blank look, "Curses doesn't exist Yuki! They don't have any logical explanation."
"Well... how about them?" Yuki turned towards the pack of spirits hiding in the corner while watching them talk.
"They're hallucination." Mayu claimed.
Yuki leans her face close to Mayu. "Really?" She asked, looking deeply into Mayu's eyes.
"You're too close Yuki." Mayu whispered back. His heart beats fast while he maintains his gaze back to Yuki. He didn't want to lose this war; looking away from her stubborn eyes would mean defeat for him. 'My chest hurts.' Mayu groans mentally. He scowls at Yuki and asked, "Did yo-" The world suddenly turned black. Again.
Yuki's eyes widen in surprise when Mayu sudden lost his balance and fell on his side. "Mayu!! Are you o-"
*Poof*
"Eh??!" Yuki panicked when Mayu's body was covered in a cloud of smoke. "Mayu?! Mayu!!!" Yuki clumsily search for Mayu in the cloud of smoke. She finally felt something and instantly hold tight onto it, "Mayu?" She murmured, "Wait... What's this small, furry... thing?"
When the smoke finally fade away, Yuki looks blankly at the fainted strawberry blonde bunny in her hands. "A... Rabbit?" and she fainted.
I have to test the water first, so I decided to change Mayu into a rabbit first.... that and the fact that Yuki is afraid of rabbits and so I was thinking about what will Yuki do to help Mayu in his rabbit form. :err:
Well that's all for today! :byebye:
Facts:
(got the sources through google)
Shouji: In traditional Japanese architecture; it is a door, window or room divider consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood which holds together a lattice of wood or bamboo.

Hehe, I was actually hopping that Mayu will turn into a little rat called nezumi...so it was a double-curse, double-blow for poor mayu, able to see ghosts and now transforming into rabbit!
And the curse is affecting Poor Yuki too, let's see how she deals with her phobia of rabbit!
Can consider how to break the curse to transform Mayu back - by getting a kiss from Yuki who is afraid of rabbit? LOL!
-
Heya!!! :mon beam:
Actually, I was thinking of using a rat (too gross btw) or hamster or guinea pig, but I remember Yuki being afraid rabbit... so I went with rabbit. :lol:
PS: Remember this pic... You'll need this later for mental image. :mon sweat:

Chapter 3
Mayu opened his eyes for the nth time of the day, 'Uuh.... My head hurts' Mayu rubs his head, 'Why do I felt like something had gone wrong while I'm sleeping.' Mayu thought to himself. He looks around, "Yuki?!" He yelled upon seeing the fainted Yuki.
"Mayu?" Yuki murmured, trying to shake the sleep away.
"Are you ok?" Mayu asked, 'Is it me or Yuki's a little too big?' He thought and then shakes his head, 'No No No... I must be hallucinating.'
"Yes but..." Yuki replied, "I should be the one asking you that. You suddenly loss consciousness..." She murmured, "and then there's white smoke and" her eyes widen in fear, "RABBIT!!!"
"Huh? What? Rabbit? Smoke?" Mayu's brow furrows in confussion. He look around to look for any rabbit anywhere. Yep, no rabbit anywhere. "There's no rabbit here Yuki."
"There is." Yuki said, moving away from Mayu.
"Hahahah... Very Funny." Mayu sarcastically replied. "And why are you moving away as if you'r-" Mayu reach out a hand to Yuki but instead of a hand, he saw a paw. A strawberry blonde colored fur covered paw. "EEEEEEEH?!" He panics, "What happened to me?!" He raise up his other hand just to see the same strawberry blonde colored furred paw. He reach up to his head and touch his long rabbit ears. "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" He cried, "I'm the rabbit!!!! Yuki what happened?!" He moves closer to Yuki.
Yuki shrieks and moves away from Mayu, "I don't know!!!" She replied, "and don't come near me. Please." She begged.
"What?!" Mayu cried, "That's unfair!!! It's not my fault that I'm stuck in this rabbit form!"
"It is!" Yuki shifted away from the rabbit. "Remember the storage room and the box... I told you to stay away from it but you didn't listen!" She grabs a pan and jumps on top of the chair. "Stay away or I'll hit you!!!"
"That's animal abuse!!!" Mayu countered. "And don't you even have the heart to help a cute defenseless rabbit?! No, wait! You have to help me get back to my original form! My internship will start next week!"
"I'm not really comfortable with animals, especially rabbits, to begin with." Yuki confessed, "so NO. I don't have the heart to even touch that furry thing."
"Oi!!! You have to take responsibility for this!"
"I'm not even responsible for that!" Yuki grimaced at the rabbit, "You just reap what you sow."
"Arrgh!!!" The rabbit pulled his furry ears in frustration, "At least help me find a way!!! You... You black-hearted woman!!" Mayu came up with a lousy rebut, "How could you leave me stranded in this kind of situation?!"
Yuki stared at the rabbit. "Fine" She finally replied, "BUT... You stay away from me! 2 meters away from me!"
"Ok" Mayu moves away, "So what now?"
Yuki looks at the rabbit and think of something or anything that can help. "To tell you the truth... Although we had dealt with some curses here and there, you're the first one in a hundred years that was cursed by that spirit." Yuki said, "I know of common family curses... but, I don't even have any idea who or what is in the sealed box."
"Are you saying that I'll be a freaking rabbit for the rest of my miserable life?" Mayu asked, appalled at the Miko's revelation.
"Well... We have to know the trigger first."
"Trigger?"
Yuki nods, "Every curse has a trigger... A cause to make it happen. There's a possibility that if we know the trigger it can help you change back."
"Great!" Mayu's rabbit ears perk up in delight, "So how?"
"I don't know."
The rabbit's ears fell down simultaneously.
"Let's see." Yuki taps her chin, thinking deeply, "Did you feel anything abnormal?"
"Nope."
Yuki sighs, "No leads then."
"EH?! Just like that and you gave up on me?"
"We don't know the cause of your transformation." Yuki points out, walking to the refrigerator, takes out some carrot and toss it to Mayu.
Mayu looks at the carrot. "I won't eat that... What am I? A pet? You don't even want to touch me."
"You're a rabbit."
Pushing the carrot to the side, Rabbit-Mayu gave Yuki a stern glare, "BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND... What do we do now? It's obvious that I'll die earlier as a pet if I don't change back to normal... Unless, you set me up for adoption."
"That's an idea!" Yuki smiles.
Rabbit-Mayu scowls, "No. That doesn't count... I'm not even a pet to begin with." He reminded Yuki.
"Maybe she can help." Yuki pondered.
"Who?" Rabbit-Mayu's ears perks up again.
"A friend..." Yuki replied, still pondering, "She's more like an acquaintance than a friend, but I'm sure she'll help."
Mayu's eyes brighten at the idea. Hopefully this will help his situation or else good bye to everything that he had work hard for and welcome to pet life. "Then let's go!"
Yuki nods, "I'll change first."
"Ok."
Moments later...
Yuki steps out in her kimono and greets Mayu. "Let's go." She walks out with Mayu following her.
"Wait!"
"Hmm?" Yuki looks at Mayu.
"Aren't you going to carry me or something?" Mayu finally caught up with Yuki by the shrine stairway.
"No!" Yuki replied, walking away quickly. "I can't stand rabbits remember?"
"But rabbits are cute and cuddly and defenseless and cute! How can you not feel a little bit of mercy at such cute little creature?!" Mayu asked, 'Namely me!!' He added mentally.
"They're not totally defenseless... What's the use of that long ears? And their bite hurts!" Yuki replies with Mayu following her lead.
"Kama-sama!! I'm tired!!!" Mayu cried, still hopping down the stairs carefully. One wrong move and he'll say good bye to life. Fortunately, Yuki is wearing a kimono that kind of restrict her from walking too fast.
"Waaaaaaaaah!!! A rabbit!!" A little girl scoops Mayu up from his last hop down the stairs.
'Agh!' Mayu groaned, 'She's crushing me! YUUUUUUKI! HELP!!' He yelled mentally, looking at Yuki for help.
"Can I have this rabbit Mommy?! PLEEEEEEASE?" The girl cooed to her Mother.
"Honey... Maybe that rabbit has an owner and it was lost, looking for its master." The mother smiles.
"Then its finders keepers right?!" The girl beams hopefully at her mother.
'No!!!' Mayu protested mentally. He was in his sane mind not to talk aloud and be thrown in some lab for experiments or some circus for some freak show. 'The world may work that way but please say "NO" child's Mommy!'
"Honey..." The mother sighs as she looks at her child's wide hopeful eyes.
"Uuhm..." Yuki finally butts in the conversation, "Sorry but that's my rabbit." She smiles, feeling sorry for the poor girl. She doesn't like rabbits but Mayu's a special case.
"What's its name?" The child pouts.
"Mayu~" Yuki called out to the rabbit. Mayu wiggled out of the girls tight embrace and hops to Yuki.
"Carry me!" Mayu hissed.
"I can't!" Yuki whispered back
"You will or else she's take me away, thinking that you're lying just to get me!" He replies.
"Fine!" Yuki's hand shakes a bit as she reach out to carry Mayu. Meanwhile, Mayu cuddled close to Yuki's embrace, letting the girl know that the rabbit was in its 'owner's' arms. Yuki felt a chill crawled on her back as Mayu cuddled close to her. "Stop wiggling around Mayu." She scolded the rabbit in her arms, "I might drop you." And the rabbit stops.
"See honey..." The mother pats the pouting girl's head, "It has an owner. I buy you one if you want." The pout morphs into a wide grin, "Sorry for disturbing you." The mother said taking her child and lead her to a nearby pet shop.
"Can I drop you now?" Yuki asked.
"What?!" Mayu looked terrified, " I was just getting comfortable! Plus, with this we can avoid another dangerous confrontation."
Yuki grimaced and grumbled in agreement to Mayu last statement. Yuki hopes that they could get to their destination. She can already feel the goosebumps crawling up her arms. They stop by a Buddhist temple and went in.
"Sayaka?" Yuki called out.
"YUKI!" A male voice yelled back. A tall young man greets Yuki, "Hello! How are you?!"
"Hi, Sae. Where's Sayaka?" Yuki smiled.
"She's finishing her morning exercise." Sae replied, "Whoa! A rabbit!!" He cooed at Mayu, "Your pet? I thought that you're afraid of animals?" He leans over to Yuki, "'sides... Your rabbit looks a bit constipated."
'I'm not constipated.' Mayu replied mentally, brows furrowed in annoyance to the tall young man.
"Pet? Maybe... He's something like that..." Yuki replied, smiling, "What are you doing here Sae?"
"Oh! Me? Helping around the temple as usual." He laughs.
"You called, Yuki?" A tall female asked, walking towards them. The woman was as tall or taller than Sae. "What's up?"
"Well" Yuki started, "Can we talk about my concern inside your house?"
"Sure" Sayaka shrugs, leading Yuki inside the house near the temple with Sae following them. "So?" She turns to Yuki as they settle in the dining area.
Yuki quickly put Mayu on top of the table. "I want to asked if you know how to counter or cure a curse?"
"Curse?" Sayaka ponders.
"Yuki-chan?! You're not cursed, right? Who did that to you?!" Sae cried, holding Yuki's hands. "I swear I'l-" Sayaka hit Sae with a rolled newspaper and deposits him back to his seat. "Sorry." Sae apologized.
"Behave." Sayaka glares at Sae.
"Yes Ma'am."
Sayaka nodded, "So... Who's the unlucky person?"
Yuki motioned a hand to the rabbit. "Him."
"Him?" Sayaka and Sae asked.
Getting the cue, Mayu nods. "Yeah Me."
"A talking rabbit?!" Sae exclaimed, poking the rabbit.
"Quit poking me!" The rabbit scowled, "or I'll bite that finger off."
Sae stops and moves away, "A scary rabbit."
"What happened to him?" Sayaka asked.
"He didn't listen to me when I told him not to play around our storage room for cursed items." Yuki explained.
"You just told me to stay away." Mayu defended himself.
"Even so... You didn't listen." Yuki replied to which Mayu just grumbled to himself. She turns to Sayaka, "Can you help?"
"We need to know what triggers the curse first." Sayaka stated, "Did he turned into this form after the incident?"
"No." Yuki replied, while Mayu shakes his head. "It was after breakfast, when we have a little argument."
"About?" Sayaka asked.
"About spirits... He doesn't believe in them." Yuki explains, " But he can clearly see the spirits this morning so I initially thought that that's his curse... Then he suddenly transformed into a rabbit."
"I see." Sayaka paused, thinking of the situation at hand, "A trigger might bring back his normal form."
"But what's the trigger?" Mayu asked.
Sayaka shrugs, "That's for you to know."
"EH?!" Mayu groans.
Sayaka smiles at the confused rabbit, "Just think of it this way... "Trigger" is the cause and the "Curse" is the effect. Like in fairy tales."
"Fairy tales?!" Mayu sighs, "Those are story of lies made to deceive children."
"What a pessimist." Sae said, shaking his head.
"I'm a realist." Mayu corrected Sae.
Sayaka sighs, "It's an example. Back to fairy tales... if you think about it each curse in the story was triggered by something... It can be objects or feelings or even desire. And for the cure it will always be true love."
"Is this serious?" Mayu asked.
Sae laughs, "So you're something like a frog prince or like the Beauty and the Beast... But instead of something ugly, you're a cute cuddly little bunny!"
"You'll see how cuddly and cute I am after I'm done with you!" Mayu roared as he hopped on to Sae face.
"Gaaaaaaaaah!!"
"SAE!!!" Yuki cried out of worry, while Sayaka picked up Mayu before he can do some serious damage to Sae. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine... That almost gave me a heart attack."
"Mayu! Apologize to Sae." Yuki told Mayu.
"Hmmp!" Mayu glares at Yuki and hops out of Sayaka's arms, leaving the trio in the kitchen.
"MAYU!!!" Yuki yelled.
Sayaka holds Yuki back before she can follow Mayu, "I'll handle it... Have some tea first and relax." Sayaka suggested to Yuki.
"I... will..." Yuki reply hesitantly, "Thank you, Sayaka."
"No problem..." Sayaka smiles, "Watch over that crybaby while I'm out."
"HEY!!" Sae shouted, "I hear that!!!!!"
Sayaka grins and walks out of the kitchen to follow Mayu. She saw Mayu sitting near the pond, watching the Koi swim freely. "Mayu..."
"I'm thinking about this whole situation" Mayu murmured as Sayaka sat by his side, "It doesn't really make any rational sense to me."
"There are many things that doesn't make sense." Sayaka said, "Falling in love is one. I'm sure you'll find your true love."
"Life isn't like those fairy tales, Sayaka-san... Love can't solve everything. If it can, then war or fighting is not an option." Mayu replied, "Anyway, I'm more worried about what will happen to my life. I spent my whole life to become a doctor, then something ridiculous like this had happened. I'm not even sure to tell my parents that their son became a rabbit."
"I'm sure that we'll find a way." Sayaka pets the rabbit. "You'll find your true love who'll help you out with your curse with a kiss."
"I told you I don't believe that." Mayu closes his eyes, dozing off while Sayaka continues to pet his head.
"Maybe you just need to believe." Sayaka whispered.
A few meters away, Yuki pushed herself away from the wall she was leaning on and walks back to Sayaka's house.
tbc.... (after I figure out how to transform Mayu back :err:)

[Chapter 3]
Yehey! Finally update!
I love this chapter!
I laughed at the scenes where Yuki disgust Mayu as a rabbit…
Quote from Mayu: "And don't you even have the heart to help a cute defenseless rabbit?”{I agree what Mayu said, rabbit is a cute animal but why does Yuki don’t like it? :nervous
I also laughed at the conversation or rather mockering of Mayu and Sae, andthe sad part is, where Mayu

REally Really funy :lol: :rofl:

S’up!!! :mon beam:
Again… Sorry for every typo, wrong grammar, etc. that you’ll encounter/see/points out while reading this.
PS: thank you if you find chapter 3 funny… since I think that I don’t have enough sense of humour to write comedy... :nervous That and I’m sure that I’m the serious/shy/anti-social type XD
Anyway… pls. enjoy~ :kneelbow:
Chapter 4
Yuki laid the sleeping rabbit on the makeshift cushion on top of a japanese table in her room, contemplating over what was happening today. She sighs, 'I wish father's here. He'll know what to do. He always does.' Then she recall her conversation with Sae...
---
"Are you ok?" Yuki asked, serving Sae some tea.
"Yeah" Sae smiled, drinking the tea, "I prefer Iced Tea though…"
Yuki giggles, "You should be thankful that I served you some tea even if it's not my house." She reprimand teasingly.
Sae paused for a bit, watching his reflecting in his tea. "About the curse... Do you think a kiss can solve it?"
"Eh?" Yuki chokes on her tea, "You're not thinking that Sayaka would try that with Mayu... Right?" Yuki asked while she wipes the tea that she had spit out earlier.
Sae expression darkened, "I hope not... I mean..." Sae twirls his teacup, scowling, "I mean, even if Sayaka "looks" like the type who doesn't like fairy tales and cute things... Her real self says otherwise."
Yuki stayed silent, staring at her tea.
"... kiss Mayu."
Yuki shifted her eyes to Sae. "Huh? What?"
"You're not listening Yuki!" Sae whines, "I said, 'You should try and give Mayu a kiss'" He shows Yuki a kissing-like pout.
Yuki's form trembles in disgust by just imagining herself giving a rabbit some kiss. Not just some kiss. Her first kiss to be exact. "That's impossible." Yuki turns her head to the side, feeling sick at Sae's proposal.
"Eeeeh?!" Sae's head fell on top of the table in dismay. He then smirks and move over to Yuki's side of the table. "What if I kiss you first so that you'll know how to kiss?" He grins, holding Yuki's chin to face him as he slowly leans forward.
Yuki 'accidentally' spills her hot tea towards Sae. "I'm so sorry Sae!" She mumbled a feint apology to Sae.
"I'm sure that your apology doesn't sound sincere at all..." Sae groans, cooling down his burnt arm by the cold tap water, "but I accept your apology…" Then, he wet his handkerchief with cold water and puts it on his sore skin. “I was just joking with the kiss... but spilling hot tea on me... that's way too much." He added in a low voice, attending his poor arm.
"Then... I hope that you learn your lesson." Yuki gives Sae a blinding smile, "I always thought that Sae is a straightforward type of guy... Why pimp around with girls when you can just go straight to your love interest?"
"I don't have any love interest!" Sae replied, blushing at the accusation, "And I'm not pimping around girls. You make it sound so vulgar."
Yuki laughs, "She's tall, a bit manly here and there, but she has a heart of a pure girl… even if it doesn't shows." She continues making fun of Sae, "but what if someone would become interested in her and literally sweep her off her feet?"
Sae stares at Yuki, "Is that some sort of a trick question?" He asked, "though honestly... I can imagine her sweeping "someone" of their feet... not the other way around." He grimaced at the mental image in his head.
"You never know..."
"Why are we even talking about this?" Sae sighs.
"You started it." Yuki shrugs, "I'm worried. What's taking them so long? Sayaka can just grab Mayu and bring him back here." Yuki looks at the door, "I'll check what's happening."
"Yuki..." Sae calls her before she can get out.
"Hmmm?"
"You should try it" Sae grins, "It might help you and Mayu."
Yuki made a face and left Sae alone.
---
"... a kiss?" Yuki scowls, "Wasn't that supposed to be a true love’s kiss in fairy tales?" She asked herself, "that Sae... He doesn't even know what he's talking about." She looks at Mayu again and sighs, "A quick kiss won't hurt… I guess…" She finally steeled her resolve, shut her eyes close and dives in for a quick kiss.
...
.....
........
..........
Nothing happens. Mayu's still asleep while Yuki soundlessly gagged in the corner of her room.
"I think I have to gargle..." Yuki murmured, covering her face with her hands, "I can't believe that I kissed a rabbit and nothing happens."
Yuki goes to the washroom to thoroughly gargle her mouth and went back to her room. "I don't really know what to do anymore." She groans as she laid her head on the table while staring at the rabbit until she fell asleep.
-Next Morning-
Yuki stirs up from her deep sleep. "My neck hurts..." She rubs the sore spot of her neck, and then pulls the blanket close to her feminine form. Yuki paused for a bit, thinking. 'A blanket? I didn't put a blanket on me last night... Right?'
"You should have rest in your bed last night" Mayu mutters from behind her, "You'll have a stiff neck from that awkward sleeping position of yours."
"Thank you for worrying." Yuki stretched her numbed limbs, "I'll prepare some food now... Hopefully, we still have some fresh cabbage or carrots in the refrigerator." She turns to face Mayu, "I'll just cut it... up... for you…" her eyes widens and smiles at Mayu, "Mayu!!! You're back! Oh Thank Kami-sama!!!"
Mayu flashed a tired smile, "Yeah."
"This is great Mayu!" Yuki squealed happily, "but how? How did you transform back?"
"I don't know." Mayu scratch his head.
"Does this mean that you’re free from the curse?" Yuki asked again.
"I think I can't answer that." Mayu frowns.
"Right!" Yuki realized her mistake, "Let's go and eat something for breakfast first." She pats Mayu's shoulder and walks out of her room. She paused by the door and flashed a shy smile at Mayu, "I'm glad you're back." She quickly walks out after muttering those words.
Yuki left Mayu in her room, shocked and speechless. "That girl..." He murmured, smiling and follows Yuki.
---
"So... Any idea when or how did you transform back to normal?" Yuki asked again while washing the dishes and Mayu wiping the ones that she had finished.
"Last night?" Mayu replied almost sarcastically. He was a rabbit the yesterday after all so, of course, the obvious answer to Yuki's question is some time last night. However, the 'how' part... Mayu grimaced remembering what happened last night...
---
Mayu opens his eyes when Yuki finally fall deep in her dream world. He hops out of his makeshift cushion and looks at Yuki's sleeping face. 'She's cute...' He noted out in his head and then he recalled what had happened earlier.
The "kiss". Well... Yuki's kiss actually.
'And I thought that she doesn't like rabbits' Mayu mentally laughs at his silly imagination. 'That's right! Why would she even kiss me? Especially when I'm in a form that she hated the most!' He stated, denying the fact that the kiss had happened.
But... That kiss...
Mayu felt himself blushing at the thought, even if he's a rabbit. His heart started to pound quickly, and hard. Mayu begins chest begins to hurt, making it hard for him to breath. 'Am I having heart attack right now?!' Mayu gasped for air, trying to relax his erratic heartbeat, ' Wait!! Can rabbits have heart attack?' He panics and fell off the table.
*poof*
"Owww.... My head...." Mayu nursed his bruised head, "Eh?!" He pats his head, looking for something. "It's gone!!! I'm normal again!!!!" Mayu rejoiced, but quickly covers his mouth. He sighed in relief when he looks at Yuki, 'Good thing she didn't wake up.' Mayu takes out a blanket from Yuki's cabinet and put it on her. "Sleep well, Yuki…" he murmured as he tucked some stray hair behind her ear. He paused. ‘What am I doing?’ He covered his blushing face with his hand.
---
"-yu... Mayu!" Yuki flicked his forehead. "You're ignoring me." She crossed her arms, feeling offended.
"Sorry"
"So?"
"So what?" Mayu asked.
"How did you transform back?" Yuki asked, "Nothing happens after I..." She just mumbled the 'kiss you' part.
Mayu shrugs, "I don't know... I don't care I long as I'm back to normal again." He knows about the kiss part, but he was not sure about how Yuki would react about that knowledge. He wasn’t about to make any bets about that. After all, what Yuki doesn’t know, won’t hurt her. Maybe he can use it for blackmail in the near future.
The END :on gay: hahahahahahahahahahah
btw… I’ve been thinking… does rabbit really die due to heart attack? :dunno:
-
kiruchi! don't do this! why did you end it?! :nervous *I'll edit this :)
I feel like being trolled with your The END :on gay: hahahahahahahahahahah
so unfortunate they didn't really end up with each other in the end...'YET' I wish for an epilogue kiruchi! I love Doc WatanabexMiko Yukirin :nervous

This is the last chapter?! :shock:
I still want more! :pleeease: :tantrum:
-
:sweat: uhh... I guess, instead of an epilogue... I'll just go with the plot continuation. :v
Since my suppose last chapter was a bit open-ended, doing an epilogue for it will be the death of me... There's just too many things to consider and to plan..
Let's see if I can keep it up. :err:
-
Sae is such a playboy! :smhid He should stick to Sayaka. :catglare:
I actually thought that Mayu didn't know that Yuki kissed him(rabbit mayuyu technically LOL.) Good thing Bunny-Mayuyu didn't die of heart attack (and to answer your question, I'm not sure, but if they have a heart, then... they can die of heart attack too? XD)

Enjoy :kneelbow:
Chapter 5
It's been several days since the "unfortunate event" of Mayu being cursed and transformed into rabbit. Life was back to normal routine; the usual house chore and occasional errands to do for the shrine.
About the curse and what triggers for the curse to take effect?
They didn't know and Mayu certainly didn't care about it anymore. They assumed that the curse was finally lifted and only Yuki (and Mayu... Yuki has no idea that Mayu knows) knows the 'supposed cure' to the curse.
"Hey! Mayu?" Yuki fiddles with the sleeves of her Miko uniform, a typical white haori and red hakama. "Why do you want to be a doctor?"
Mayu, who keep himself with his preparation for his medical residency training in the nearby hospital, looks at Yuki. "I guess... I want to help people." He said, "I can't stop death but at least I can let dying people live longer." A sad smile was seen, but was gone in a second, "and the pay is great too." Mayu laughs.
"Ohh..." Yuki's a bit speechless at what Mayu had told her. She looks at the clock and quickly stands up, "I have to go to the shrine now!" She mutters a quick apology to Mayu and rush out of the house.
Mayu shakes his head and started to review his notes from his Med school years.
-Hours later-
'It's already late... I wonder if Yuki's still in the shrine.' Mayu wonders, stretching a bit. He decided to go to the shrine and make sure that Yuki doesn't work herself too much. One mannerism of Yuki that he noticed during their time together is that whenever Yuki is working, she has this tendency to completely focus on her work and ignore anything that isn't a part of it.
Mayu entered the small office located in the shrine vicinity and saw Yuki hunched over a pile of paper work. As he expected, Yuki did not acknowledge his presence even when he was walking to where the Miko is and paused directly besides her.
'This girl...' Mayu let out a sigh, 'Should I admire her work ethics or not.'
Mayu frown changed into a fond smile and leans his head besides Yuki's to peek over her shoulder. "Hmmm... Shrines do keep their own account logs." He noted, tilting his head a bit to look at Yuki.
"Huh?" Yuki turns her head to the face Mayu, but was frozen in shock when she realized that her lips brushed against his.
Mayu blushed in deep red, but quickly regains his composure, "S-sorry... I shouldn't have lean so close to you and... and..." he was muttering apologies and excuses, while bowing several times. "I'm really sorry."
"Mayu." Yuki smiles, and holds Mayu's shoulder to stop him for bowing repeatedly.
'This is bad.' Mayu broke out into cold sweat when he saw Yuki's sickly sweet smile. All he knows is that Yuki's not grateful for the kiss and that he might not see tomorrow. 'Dear Kami-sama... I'm sorry for all the sins that I have done.' He cried mentally.
Yuki's smile widens and swiftly delivers a well-calculated knee strike to Mayu's gut, then walk out of the office.
'Uuuuuuh...' Mayu writhes. He rolls on the floor in an attempt to lessen the pain. 'She kneed me... hard… Ooooowww.' He groans some more, but the blush on his face didn't disappear. 'But wow...' He grins, remembering the brief kiss, even when he was writhing in pain. "What are you thinking Mayu! Stop grinning over some kiss. You must resist!" He scolds himself.
Meanwhile, Yuki stops outside of the office and covers her face with her hands, “I kneed him…" she murmured, blushing hard. "And he apologized to me too... I'm sure that he didn't mean for it to happen. But still..." The Miko keeps on muttering to herself, while the shade of reds in her cheeks darkens. "I should apologize. I'm sure that hurts..."
"Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!" a bloodcurdling scream was heard from inside.
"Mayu!" Yuki rushed inside the office again. 'Did I hit him that hard?' She cringed, 'Eh? Where's Mayu?' The Miko looks around for the soon-to-be-doctor. "Mayu?"
"Here." Mayu replied behind the table.
"Then stand up." Yuki said, walking near the table. She tiptoed to look over the table but she couldn't see Mayu's shadow or silhouette. "I can't see you Mayu." Yuki furrows her brows. She's worried about Mayu, but she's getting scared. She can’t see Mayu, yet she can clearly hear his voice.
"I'm here." Mayu said again. "I'm right in front of you."
"Don't joke like that Mayu!" Yuki fidgets with end of her haori sleeves and looks around a bit more. "I really can't see you."
"I told you I'm here."
Yuki felt something furry taps her leg part and looks down to see the same strawberry blonde bunny from the accursed event that she wants to forget. "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!" She quickly kicks the bunny off her feet and it slams to the nearby wall.
"... Hurts..." The bunny groans, "It hurts... You could have just shoo-ed me away gently."
"Sorry!" Yuki apologized, "My reflexes against rabbits kicked in."
"I don't know if I'll cry because of pain or because of the fact that I'm back to this form." Mayu drones sadly, still lying on his side. 'Whatever did I do wrong in this lifetime?' He asked himself, 'except for kissing Yuki... That's not even intentional. Wait... I'm not even kissing her. That was just an accidental touch on the lips.'
"Mayu?"
"I'm not fine... My body hurts... and I'm a rabbit again..." Mayu keeps on muttering, and then pushed himself up from the floor, "S**t!!!! My residency training starts tomorrow!" the rabbit cries in horror, recalling his residency training. "Yuki! I have to go back to my human form!!!!"
"But how?!"
"Kiss me!"
"No way!!!"
"The kiss must have something to do with this!!!" Mayu cried.
"Ugh... How did you even arrive to that conclusion?" Yuki paused, looking away, “This Is the first time I “accidentally” kissed you!” She’s a liar. She knew it, but there’s no way in hell that she’ll confess about their really first kiss. Mayu gave her a piercing stare. Yuki finally concedes, "Fine! But..."
"But?"
"Turn off the lights." Yuki said. The blush on her cheeks became more apparent.
"Fine... You'll have to do that and kindly lift me to the table... GENTLY! No throwing me or slamming me around like I’m the most disgusting animal!" Mayu warns Yuki.
Yuki lifts Mayu and puts him on the table, and then she turns off the lights. Yuki gulps as her heart beats faster. Even when the darkness hides her red face, the Miko couldn't help but feel nervous. She touched the rabbit's silhouette, "Mayu... Ready?"
"Uh... Yeah." He gulps. 'I hope this will work.'
Yuki made the kiss swift and brief like the previous one when Mayu was a rabbit last time. "There" Yuki quickly pulled away from the rabbit. "So what now?"
"Hmmm..." Mayu frowns. There's no usual chest pain or him having hard time to breathe. No fast heartbeat too. They waited for some minutes to the kiss to take effect. No reaction or anything was felt. "Something's wrong..." Mayu cringed, "There's no reaction! I'm not changing at all." The rabbit cried.
"I'll call Sayaka!" Yuki scrabbles in the dark to the office's phone and calls Sayaka.
-Moments Later-
"I see... So the curse is not lifted, huh..." Sayaka trails off, thinking about what had happened coming from their accounts. "The kiss didn't work..."
"Oh! You two kissed?!" Sae teased the two.
"Why are you here anyway?" the annoyed bunny frowns at Sae.
"Now. Now. Mr. Cute lil' bunny should relax and smile." Sae smiles, poking at the rabbit's wrinkled brows, "You look constipated if you frown like that... And, honestly, that doesn't really look cute at all." He dramatically shakes his head.
Mayu sees his chance and bite Sae's finger. He's frown morphed into a smug evil grin when Sae yelps in pain. "Heh. Serves you right." But his head is hit by a folded newspaper seconds after he bites Sae finger.
"You two. Behave." Yuki scolds them, "Please act like mature adults that you are suppose to be."
Sayaka sighs, "Anyway... I think the kiss doesn't have anything to do with the curse if it didn't trigger nor lift it." She brings back the topic about Mayu's curse.
"Then why did Mayu turned back after I kissed him the last time?" Yuki asked but mumbles the kiss part of the question.
"Coincidence maybe?" Sayaka shrugs, "or maybe the timing of the kiss was just right by the time the real trigger is happening? We don't know."
"Someone knows." Mayu butts in.
"Who?" Sayaka asked, while Yuki lifts a brow.
"Whatever or whoever's sealed in the box." Mayu huffed, "that's the start of everything!"
"I thought you firmly said that you don't believe curses?" Yuki asked.
"I don't!" Mayu replied. "Practically speaking, whatever causes this should know how to end it."
"But it's a malevolent spirit." Yuki shakes her head. "We can't afford to unseal it. We might not be able to seal it back."
"We can set some safety parameter." Sayaka suggested and then turns to Sae, "Sae please get some items we use against evil spirits and demons and as well as items for sealing."
"Okay!" Sae rush off to get the need items.
"Yuki. Let's set the seal parameters." Sayaka pats Yuki's shoulder.
"But..." Yuki looks worried about what they are about to do, "Fine... Let me get the Hama Yumi and Hama Ya (the "Evil-Destroying Bow and Arrow"). Just in case something goes wrong." Yuki went out to retrieve their Family's heirlooms, the bow and arrow that can destroy evil spirits.
"What's Hama Yumi and Hama Ya?" Mayu asked Sayaka as she lifts up the rabbit and walks towards the Shrine's storage for sealed spirits/item.
"Well... Hama Yumi is a sacred bow that was said to be used by an archer, Yorimasu Minamoto, to vanquish the evil spirit that had taken over the Imperial Palace during 1103 C.E." Sayaka told Mayu a brief history about the sacred bow of the Kashiwagi clan. "But of course, what they have is a replica of the original Hama Yumi... It still has the ability to vanquish evil, so don't worry."
"Everything seems to defy reality with you guys." Mayu said, "It seems surreal."
"Like I told you some things just can't explain by science, geek boy." Sayaka laughs, "You should start to cope up with it since you live with Yuki."
"For now." Mayu added.
Sayaka chuckles, "For now." She pats the rabbits head and puts him down near the storage room. She, then, begins to scribbles weird signs and characters around the area until she created a huge magic circle.
'Oooh..' Mayu grins to himself, 'looks something like from the anime.' He may not look like the stereotyped anime otaku but he's proud to be one. 'Now that I think about it... It feels like my life is trapped in some weird anime plot-line.'
"I'm ready!" Sayaka grins, patting the dirt away from her hands.
"Me too." Yuki added as she stops besides Sayaka, hold her Hama Yomi and the divine arrows. "And Sae?"
"Here!" Sae waves his hand with a huge duffle bag in another. "Shall we start?"
Sayaka nodded at Yuki. Yuki got the cue and get the box from the storage and place it in the center of the circle and then thrust four divines arrows; one each in north, south, east and west. Sayaka inhaled deeply and started to form several Kuji-in with accompanying mantras for sealing. The magic circle begins to glow as Sayaka continues her chants. "I've raised the barrier."
Yuki ripped off the Ofuda that had been keeping the box sealed for hundreds of years. She grips her bow when a dark mass of cloud leaves the box. "Ku ku ku ku" A deep gruff voices chuckles, "You brats... You have guts to unseal me."
"We want to know how to lift Mayu's curse!" Yuki told the dark entity.
"Oooooh? The rabbit?" It asked, leering at the Miko. "Let see..." A part of the dark mass of cloud surrounds Yuki.
"Kyaaaa!" Yuki yelps and stabs the dark cloud with her divine arrow. However, the cloud doesn't seem to be affected by the attack. "You groped me!" Yuki hissed.
"Oho~ You're 76B!" It chuckles in delight, still leering at Yuki but this time it's focusing on her chest part. "Three sizes are 76-54-81~" It singsoned, "That's one fine butt~"
‘What in the name of Kami-sama was sealed in that box?’ Sayaka, Sae and Mayu asked mentally, ‘A pervert?’ They thought at the same time.
"Let Yuki go!!!" Mayu demanded, "And take this curse off me!"
"As you wish~" the evil entity looks at the glaring rabbit.
*poof*
The rabbit, to its delight, transformed back to its human form. "I'm human again!!!!" Mayu looks at "his" hands. 'But something's wrong in here...'
"Heheheh" the entity just snickers while Sayaka, Sae and Yuki just stared at Mayu. They didn't want to spoil the soon-to-be-doctor's happy mode but...
"Uh... Mayu..." Sayaka started, "Your chest." she pointed out carefully.
"What about it?" Mayu touch "his" chest. Soft. He groped a bit more. Sh*t. He quickly moves his hands to his crotch. Double sh*t. His became pale when he comprehends what had happened.
"You're back... But..." Sae trailed off, "You're a girl Mayu."
"Wha- NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Mayu fell on her knees.
The dark entity laughs, "You looks cute, though~ I wonder what's your sizes~"
Mayu scowls and covers her chest. "I'll kill you if you try to do what I'm thinking that you're going to try!"
"Oooh~ don't worry~" It cooed, "I will be gentle~" Suddenly, a lightning destroys Sayaka's barrier and struck the dark entity. "Gaaaah!"
Sae drags Mayu and Yuki to where Sayaka is. "What happened?! Where did that lightning came from? Is it still alive?" Sae panics.
When the smoke dissipates, they saw a petite figure of a woman. "Who's that?!" Sae mutters from behind of Sayaka, while Mayu pokes the woman with a stick she had found on the ground.
"Sorry for the problems she had caused." A female voice apologized as a stunning tall woman came out of the shadow. "I'm afraid that I'm partly to blame for all of these unfortunate events."
Yuki shakes a bit, "Ya-yama no Kami?!" She bows respectfully, her voice trembles as she greets their shrine's guardian Kami. "It's a pleasure to have you here."
"It's fine Yuki-chan." Yama no Kami smiles, "Anyway... Sorry again for what this trickster had done. She's originally a Yama no Kami like me... But well as you see, she likes fooling around and is a big pervert." The goddess tells them about how the mischievous goddess molested her almost every day until the time that she was force to punish the petite goddess by sending her to human world. However, the mischievous goddess keeps on fooling around the human world until several Shinto and Buddhist priest (Yuki and Sayaka's ancestors) proclaimed that she was an evil spirit and was sealed for hundred years. "I was glad that she was sealed..." The goddess giggles, "Saves me some trouble there... but now..."
"What now?" Mayu asked, "She cursed me!!!"
"I can't lift the curse sorry." The goddess smiles sadly, "but for her punishment. Again. She'll stay in here. Please Take care of her. Don't worry I sealed of some of her powers."
“Whaaaaat?!”
The goddess in question finally regains consciousness. "Nyan Nyan~" she squealed trying to grope the other goddess chest, "I miss you!" She cried.
"Hush you!" 'Nyan Nyan' gives the groping goddess' head a chop using her fan. "You're forbidden to see me! And you'll stay and help them. HELP AROUND THE SHRINE AND BE USEFUL!" She scolded her, "I’ll check up on you from time to time!"
"Aaaaaw... Buuuut Nyan Nyaaaaaan." The goddesss whines.
Yama no Kami huffs and vanish from there sight.
"So?" The four humans asked the goddess.
"Can't disobey her..." She smiles, "I'll be in your care from this day onwards."
"You need a name." Sayaka said.
"How about Oshima Yuko?" Yuki suggested. They turned to the fallen goddess.
"Then call me Yuko!" Yuko grins.
"Oi! Oi!" Mayu cuts in the goddess' gleeful greeting, "I'm not back to normal! I have work tomorrow!"
"Ah." Yuko rubs her head, "You heard Nyan Nyan... She sealed off most of my powers soooo... I really can help you with that." She laughs.
"What in the-" Mayu stops herself from cursing the accursed goddess. "I'm going to strangle that life out of you!!" She yelled.
"Wa-wait!" Yuko stops Mayu, "Try this... *whisper* *whisper*" Mayu's face go beet red in a second and-
*poof*
And he's back to normal.
"See!" Yuko pats Mayu's back, "Just keep that in mind and everything will go back to normal! Of course the curse isn't lifted." She laughs again.
Mayu groans. He was thankful that he's back to his original gender but he's sure that with the appearance of this unwanted and troublesome roommate... His future is in for a big disaster. 'I want my peaceful life back' he weeps internally.
Done... :on gay:
Next Chapter... I don't know if I'll go with other character scenario or Yuko doing something troublesome... Oh well. Come what may. :err:

Again… Sorry for every typo, wrong grammar, etc. that you’ll encounter/see/points out while reading this.
Enjoy :kneelbow:
Chapter 6
Mayu loves what he's doing for the hospital. Really. But there's one problem. He can see dead people; and dead people plus hospitals is not a great combination at all. From what he noticed, in his several days working as an intern doctor, the dead ones like to mingle with the living. It makes it harder for him to distinguish one from another, especially when the dead looks like it was alive. His only hint is the red tag around the dead ones.
Mayu keeps his eyes on the carpeted floor of the elevator, occasionally glancing on the wall reflection but never looking on the other occupant. 'A red tag' Mayu cringed and looked down again, 'Great! Why now when I'm alone... I just hope that this elevator won't break down or something.'
The dead slowly turn its head to Mayu's direction.
'Look away. Look away.' Mayu plead, 'Please look away.' He breaks into cold sweat when he feels a piercing stare. 'Act normal Mayu. You don't see anything. Nothing. Sh*t!!! It's closing in!' He panicked.
*ping*
He sighed in relief when the elevator finally reached his destination. His way out of this horror! He hastily walks out of the elevator without looking back. He wouldn't dare to.
"Oi Lil' bunny!"
Mayu stops. 'That voice!' He frowns and slowly turns around. "Sae." He frowns deepens.
"I told you to relax that stiff face of yours!" Sae teased Mayu while poking Mayu's furrowed brows.
Mayu just slaps Sae's hand. He was about to scold Sae about bothering him when he noticed some shadow hovering behind Sae. The shadow formed into Japan's ancient samurai armored warrior. Not just one warrior but there must be almost an army of them materialized inside the hospital, scaring the other dead ones. 'It seems like they are guarding Sae.' Mayu shakes his head, 'looks troublesome...' He turns away and walk out of the hospital, leaving Sae and his army of ghost samurai.
"Mayuuuu" Sae whines, following Mayu out. "How mean!! Leaving me without a greeting or two!"
"Don't follow me!!" Mayu yells, running away when he saw Sae following him with those creepy samirais. "Go flirt around somewhere and leave me in peace!" 'And take those samurais with you!' He added to himself.
"Wha- I don't flirt around!" Sae said. "That's what you call socializing!"
"Yeah riiiight... Socializing with occasional kiss on the cheeks over here and pulling out pick-up lines over there." Mayu said back, "and I told you stop-"
"TAKAMINA!"
The two stops bickering around when they heard someone yelling. "What's that?" Sae looks around. They noticed that they were in a local park around the area.
"Don't worry Acchan... Just a little bit more..." They heard someone talking back to 'Acchan'. The two walks to a secluded part of the park.
"What do you think they're doing?" Sae grins, "I bet it was something naughty." He laughs.
"Shut it Sae." Mayu growls 'Pervs.'
"What? There are only two of them in secluded part of the park. What would they do in there?"
"Talk?" Mayu replied, receiving an apalled look from Sae. "Besides... Those are girls and even if they do 'that'... The other one will be jailed for doing something like 'that' with a minor." He added pointing out to the two girls. The short one was on top of a tree branch reaching out for the trapped kitty, while the other one looking up worried for the short one.
"Be careful Takamina!"
"Yes. Yes." The short girl grins. She finally take hold of the kitty, "Gotcha!" But then the branch started to break. "Oh no!" She hugs the kitty to protect it as they fell down.
"TAKAMINA!" The other girl closed her eyes.
"Where does it hurt?" Mayu asked, checking the girl for any obvious injury.
"Uh..." The short girl moved her foot. "I think sprained my foot."
"Hmm.." Mayu holds her foot and gently flexes it back and forth then side to side.
"Ugh..."
"Is she okay?" The other girl asks.
"Yeah... But first..." Mayu lift the shorty, "I feel bad for Sae..." He said a bit amused as the samurais panic around Sae. When the branch broke, Sae quickly rush in to break the girl's fall. He had some miscalculation and ended up breaking the branch's fall instead. Overall, things went well. The girl just got a sprain and... Well... Sae fainted. 'Oops... I should be helping him.'
Mayu laid the girl in the base of the tree, but he heard something breaking. He looks up and saw a huge branch falling on them. 'What the-' he quickly scoops up the girl and drag the other one into a clearing nearby. 'I have a bad feeling about this...' He took out his phone and dialed the shrine phone number.
"Hello? Kashiwagi residence. How may I help you?"
"Yuki. Please call Sayaka... Sae needs some help." Mayu said, "We are in the nearby park."
"Okay... Watch over Sae then." Yuki replied, hanging up on Mayu and then calls Sayaka for help.
Mayu pushed the branch off and drags Sae to the clearing. He pats Sae's face. "Wake up. You still alive?"
"Yeah." Sae groans, "My back hurts." He pats his back.
"You need to go to the hospital after this just to make sure that you didn't have any spine injury or something." Mayu said, then looks at the girls. "Umm... Hello." He smiles, "I'm Watanabe Mayu and that guy who tries to break your fall is Miyazawa Sae"
"I'm Takahashi Minami and this worrywart over here is Acchan... I mean Maeda Atsuko." Minami corrected herself when Acchan elbowed her side. "Just call me Takamina! We're both in high school."
"Nice to meet you two." Mayu bowed a bit, still smiling.
Sae stares at Takamina. "Really? I thought you're an elementary student."
"Sae. That's mean." Mayu lightly bops Sae's head. "At least make that junior high school level."
"Excuse me" Takamina fumed, "You're making fun of my height in my presence... I hope you noticed that."
"Takamina" Acchan holds Takamina's arm.
"Sorry" the two apologizes. "Anyway what are you two doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Takamina asked with a bewildered expression on her face, "We're saving this kitty!" She shows the kitty to the two. It hissed, scratches Takamina's face and squirming out of her arms, then runs away.
...
Silence reigns over the atmosphere for some time.
Mayu coughs, "You should call your parents now."
"I called mine already." Acchan replies. "But Takamina..."
"Mine's gone." Takamina give them a bitter smile. "They died in a car accident yesterday... I should have died with them."
"Where do you live now?" Mayu asks.
"Well..." Takamina trails off.
"I told her to stay with is for a while." Acchan replies, "but she wouldn't."
"Look here Acchan. I don't want something to happen to you or your family." Takamina declared, "What happened yesterday is not natural at all! I should have died with them! All those bus passengers died! But not me! Then this day the landlady of our apartment suddenly had a heart attack and died! She didn't have any heart problem to begin with and she's an effing vegetarian! Then the apartment closed down due to some unknown debt?! That's full of bullsh*t!"
"Takamina! Language!" Acchan pinched Takamina's cheek.
"So you mean to say... You don't have anywhere to stay for the night?" Mayu frowns. "Other relatives?"
"I don't have any... Mom and Dad is the only child of my grandparents, who died years ago too." Takamina sighs, "I'm just waiting for the government's decision for a poster family or something, but for now I'm homeless."
"Stay with us for now then." Mayu pats Takamina's head. "I'm sure Yuki wouldn't mind."
"But I'm afraid." Takamina said, "Everything seems to go wrong when I'm around."
"It's fine." Mayu grins. 'That's too much bad luck for a day though...' He thought.
"Mayu!" Sayaka runs toward them, "What happened to Sae?" She looks at Sae.
"Trying to do some heroic act" Sae said grimly, "Unfortunately... It hurts."
"You should probably help Sae… and please bring her to the hospital for concussion and spin damage check up. Just to make sure nothing’s wrong." Mayu told Sayaka, "We'll just bring Acchan back to her home and then bring Takamina to the shrine with me... She's homeless for now."
Sayaka looks at Takamina and then to Mayu again. "Let's talk over there first." She leads Mayu far from the group. "Take care... There's something about the short one... Be really careful please."
"Huh? You sure? She looks pretty harmless to me."
"She is but her aura isn't... It's dark and ominous."
They look at Takamina. "Oh… Ok... We'll be careful." Mayu murmured.
They bid goodbye to Sayaka and Sae and take the opposite direction toward the resident proper of the town. Takamina and Mayu waves at Acchan as she enter the safety of her home, then the two walk towards the Shinto shrine.
"You live here?" Takamina ask Mayu while they climb the stairs.
"Yes... For the time being though."
"Oi! Mayu you're late!" A feminine voice yelled. "Yuki wants to cook our dinner for the night... Do you want us to die because of food poisoning?!" but paused when she saw Takamina.
"Sorry. Sorry." Mayu apologized, "uhh... Yuko? You okay?"
Yuko drags Mayu away. "What are you doing?!" She hissed.
"Doing something good... She's homeless!" Mayu whispered back.
"We will be too!!! She's bad news!" Yuko whispered, pinching Mayu's arm, "BAD NEWS. I tell you!"
"Oww! How come?"
"She's cursed!" Yuko points out, still whispering, "Her curse is three times worst than yours!!!"
"Eeeh?!"
Ja~ That's all for today. :on gay:

MERRY CHRISTMAS (belated) and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
Sorry for the late update... I've been busy watching some sentai series, stalking someone, and sleeping... and work too. heheh
Again… Sorry for every typo, wrong grammar, etc. that you’ll encounter/see/points out while reading this.
Enjoy :kneelbow:
Chapter 7
"Do I really have to take part of this stupidity?" Mayu scowled at the grinning Yuko.
"Well… Not really… but if I say that earlier, I know you’ll back out…" Yuko replies happily, "and I want to see you dress like that… Eheheh~" Mayu's scowl deepens at the former goddesses' actual intention. "Now, now… Don't scowl like that! You're ruining the cute image." Yuko laughs soothing Mayu's furrowed brows with her index fingers.
"If I'm not wearing this short pleated skirt, I would have kicked you right now." Mayu growled at Yuko as she remembers what had happened a few hours ago.
Yuko skips happily towards the male Mayu, who was busy doing his part of the house chore.
"Mayu. Mayu." Yuko calls out, tugging his shirt. "Let's do some reconnaissance mission!"
"Reconnaissance mission…?"
"Re.con.nais.sance… You know… the info gathering thingy that military people or spies do." Yuko explained.
"I know what reconnaissance mean you idiot!" Mayu replied, eyes narrowing into slit in annoyance. "What I mean is reconnaissance for what."
"Oooh.... Oh!" Yuko grins nervously, while she scratch her cheek, "You're curious why I said that Takamina has a very very very bad luck, right?"
Mayu nodded cautiously. "You could have explained that to me instead of circling around the topic... No need for reconnaissance."
"That won't do Mayu." Yuko tsk-ed. "It’s much better to see it for yourself."
Mayu pause for a bit and think about the pros and cons of the idea of reconnaissance. It's true that seeing the actual thing/event/situation/etc would make him believe that it exists, however there's always an exchange to whatever people do in their everyday life and don't forget about the consequences of the said action. The real question is... What is Yuko planning anyway? Honestly, ‘Yuko’ and ‘Planning’ doesn't go too well in a sentence... So he's sure that something bad will happen.... And it did.
Right now, Mayu is wearing a pink hoodie jacket (with thehoodie over her head), black high school girl's uniform, black stockings, yellow boots and a backpack to complete her disguise. She remembers Yuko telling her something about buying some cosplay costumes just because they look cool after watching a gangster-like school drama series, Majisuka Gakuen. Apparently, Mayu is cosplaying as Nezumi of that drama series, while Yuko takes on the character that had the same name as hers. Furthermore, Yuko was able to convince the innocent Yuki to dress as Black, one of the four queens of the series.
Mayu shakes her head and adopts her usual serious face as she peers carefully over to where Takamina is. "So... What now?"
"You really looked like Nezumi with that expression!" Yuko squealed, eyes gleaming in fascination at Mayu.
"Shut up you idiot." She hissed, "Everyone is staring at us! We’re standing out in this crowd because of these costumes!"
Yuko ignores Mayu and skips happily to the quiet Yuki. "What do you think Yuki?"
"Hmm?" Yuki takes her eyes off the book that she's reading.
Yuko trembles for a bit.
"Yuko?" Mayu poked the shaking Yuko.
Yuko's dam of emotion breaks out and quickly hugs Yuki, crying in pure joy, "You really looks like Black!" Then proceeds to grope Yuki's behind. "And your oshir-" and the hard bound book finds its way to Yuko's face. "Ack.. That hurts Yuki-chan."
"Idiot." Mayu said, shaking her head. “You’re really into your ‘Rappappa Leader’ role… Anyway quit fooling around and-” She grabs Yuko by her collar so that they can go back to their original plan. Unfortunately… A group of teenagers are blocking their way.
“Uum…” They hesitated at first and then they brought out their camera and phones out, “We want to take a picture with you guys!!!”
“You look like Nezumi!!” Another one squeals at Mayu’s face. “You can pass for the real one!!!” Mayu thanked her reflexes for avoiding a huge amount of spittle coming her way.
“The Yuko looks cool too!”
“Of course I AM!!!” Yuko laughs, posing in front of the cameras.
“Not as cool as Black!!” Another one screams as the group surrounds ‘Black’, taking snapshots.
Yuki shut the book with a snap and walks out of the group. “We have to go now.” She said quietly.
“Good bye~” Yuko grins and waves goodbye at the now quiet group, following Yuki’s lead.
“Those idiots.” Mayu murmured, taking her cue to escape the weirdos. Moments later, the three heard a bunch of loud squeals and shriek about meeting some cool in-character cosplayers and the likes as they speed up their steps to catch up with Takamina.
“They’re loud.” Takamina said out. She tiptoed for a bit to see what’s happening. Nope. She can’t see a thing from where she’s standing… or tiptoeing from.
“Silly Takamina.” Acchan giggles at Takamina’s cute antics, “You won’t see anything even if you do that.”
“Thanks for pointing the obvious Acchan.” The midget huffed at her laughing best friend.
“Taka’s soooooo cute!” Acchan cooed, pinching Takamina’scheeks.
Suddenly, plant pot falls inches away from them. “Sorry.” The old man yelps from above. “I hope no one’s hurt.”
“Don’t worry we’re fine.” Atsuko replied. Takamina just stares at the fallen pot.
‘It’s happening again.’ Takamina frowns as she looks at Atsuko. ‘I don’t want to lose her… I…’
“Takamina?” Atsuko pats her shoulder.
“Ah… Acchan…” Takamina forced herself to smile, “I remember… I have something to do… I’ll see you tomorrow!” She said and quickly hops inside the bus before it leaves. ‘Hopefully, I…’
“You’re hoping to leave me there, huh?” Someone took the seat besides her.
Takamina looks at Atsuko with her eyes wide open. “You… You…” She groans, “Why are you in here?!”
“I’m following you!” Atsuko glares at Takamina. “You’re always leaving me behind Takamina! Ever since that day…You…” She let out a soft sob.
-----
Meanwhile…
“We’re in the drama climax.” Yuko pointed out, eating some potato chips.
Yuki nodded, smiling at the two, “They really are that close, huh?”
Mayu just take a sip from her juice, silently watching the scene unfolds from the back seat area of the bus. “Wait.”
“Hmm?” Yuko and Yuki turns to Mayu.
“Are we safe here?” Mayu asked. “I mean… You did say something about Takamina having some bad luck… three times worst than mine by the way.”
“Weeeeell…” Yuko drawls out, thinking, “We can always pray for a safe trip.” She smiled.
“You gotta be kidding me.” Mayu gave Yuko a scary glare.
Yuki, who was sitting in the middle, gave the two a quick flick on the forehead. “Quiet! They’ll hear us. And I’m sure we will be ok.”
......
Then, the bus’ front wheel exploded.
-----
“ACCHAN!” Takamina holds Atsuko close to her while clutching on the nearby railing as the bus swerves left and right, hoping to get some control back.
“TAKAMINA!!” Atsuko, in turn, tightens her hold. She’s silently praying to all gods, deities and saints that they’ll survive to see to tomorrow.
-----
“THIS IS BAD…. GAAAAAH…” Mayu cried, hugging the seat in front of her. “I DON’T WANT TO DIE!!”
Yuki just muffles her scream by holding on to Mayu. She tightens her hold every time she sees cars that had almost crash into the bus.
Yuko, in the other hand, closes her eyes and concentrates her limited power to hopefully save their lives. The bus topples over to its side and finally stopped its crazy roller coaster-like ride of their life.
“Uuuuh…” Mayu groans. “Yuki?” She pats Yuki’s back. “Are you ok?”
“Yes.” Yuki nodded. “You covered my head with your arms when the bus toppled down. Thank you.” but gasped when she saw some blood trickling down on Mayu’s face, “You’re hurt!”
“I’m fine.” Mayu smiles, “Your safety goes first.”
“And what about mine?” Yuko finally interrupted the two, groaning. “Off. OFF! You two are heavy!”
“Sorry.”
“Before we forget…” Mayu stands up, helping Yuki and Yuko into their feet. “TAKAMINA!!!!”
“Here…” A quiet voice yelps. “We need help… Acchan… She…”
The three scrambles to get to Takamina. “Let me see her.” Mayu said, taking Atsuko from Takamina.
“Yuko-san.” Takamina cried, “Yuki-san. Acchan… She… She covered me. I… I can’t…”
“Shhh…” Yuki hugs Takamina, “She’s going to be fine.” ‘I hope’
“Who’s the girl in the pink hoodie?” Takamina asked, watchingMayu as she checks up on Atsuko’s safety.
“Err…” Yuko paused, “She’s a… friend.”
“Yes. A friend.” Yuki smiles. “She knows First Aid… I’m sure she can help.”
‘Yuko paused.’ Takamina thought suspiciously, she keeps an eye to what the girl in the pink hoodie do. There’s something familiar about the girl, but she couldn’t point it out. ‘At least she’s helping Acchan.’
“She’s fine… She just lost consciousness.” Mayu sighed in relief, “Yuki. Call an ambulance, while I check the others.”
“By the way… Why are you guys dressed like...” Takamina looks at Yuki then turns to Yuko and ‘Nezumi’, “…that?”
“Yuko’s fault.” Yuki replied. “She got hooked with this high school drama series and bought some cosplay dresses.”
Takamina just gape at Yuki.
“Rest now… Help is on their way.” Yuko said with a serious face. It’s something that they didn’t see every day, but still it was a pleasant surprise that Yuko can be serious. Sometimes.Takamina smiles and slowly closes her eyes shut.
-----
Takamina woke up in a hospital room. “Acchan…”
“You really like Acchan eh?” Yuko teased, “You had an accident and the first word you said when you wake up is Acchan.”
“Wha… What are you saying?!” Takamina blushed, sputtering her answer nervously, “O-of course I like Acchan… I mean as a friend… it’s not like I like Acchan like that… I…” her blush seems to deepen as she tries to form an answer in her head.
Yuko just let go and laughs loudly. “You’re turning into a tomato… a cherry tomato.”
Takamina stops, “Was that suppose to be a compliment?” She asked sarcastically when she realized that she was played for a fool by Yuko.
“I guess so,” Yuko wipes away her tears from laughing. “Cherry Tomatoes are cute!!!”
“And small!!!” Takamina added.
Yuko snickers, “I didn’t say that. You did.”
“Stop teasing Takamina.” Mayu pinches Yuko’s cheek.
Yuko pouted. “You’re back to normal.”
The strawberry-blonde male pinches Yuko’s cheeks again. “Of course!” He gritted his teeth, “Do you think I would like to dress LIKE THAT for the rest of the day?! What if THAT happens while I’m wearing that?!”
“No one would recognize you since you’re wearing the hood on.” Yuko gave him a victory sign.
“NO! I’ll die in embarrassment right then and there!”
“Huh? Hood on? Die?” Takamina asked, “What’s happening?”
“Why don’t we start from your case first?” Yuko proposes as Yuki enters the room.
“Case?” Yuki asked, a bit confused, but smiled when she saw Takamina. “I’m glad you're ok now Minami-chan.”
“Thank you.” Takamina replied meekly.
“Back to the topic… I’m referring to Taka’s unusual circumstances.” Yuko continued, “Base from what Mayu told me and the incident earlier… I’m sure now that some deadly bad luck had attached itself to Takamidget here.”
“Oi!”
“Attached?”
“To see is to believe, right?” Yuko smirks; she knocks on Yuki and Mayu’s forehead three times, and then hit the two with open palms.
“You don’t have to-” Mayu wanted to reprimand Yuko for hitting him and Yuki, but he saw something hovering over Takamina. “What’s that?!”
“Are those?” Yuki gasped.
“Yup” Yuko noded, “Those are the bad luck. I’m quite surprise that Takamidget manage to live with those three around her…The God of Death” She points at the chibi grim reaper; “The God of Calamity” She then points at the deviruchi-like figure (base from a monster in Ragnarok Online); “and the God of Poverty” she points at the last chibi black ghost-like figure.
“Eh?” Takamina’s eyes widens, “EEEEEHHH?! I can’t see them!!!”
“Here.” Yuko did the same to Takamina.
“Oh my god!!” Takamina yelps, when the three figure waves at her; it seems like the three gods thinks that the situation was quite amusing. “No wonder death and misery follows me around. Literally.”
“They are attached to you.” Yuko shrugs, “Did you something or anything that might include breaking some important stuff?”
“Hmmm” Takamina squinted her eyes, trying to remember anything of sorts. “I don’t remember anything like that but… hmm?” They noticed the three gods frantically waving at Minami.
“They said that you did something like that.” Yuko looks at the gods, while the nodded. Then the three did some reenactment. “What are they doing?”
“I thought you know?” Mayu looks at Yuko, “You’re like them, right?”
“I can’t read minds.”
“Like them?” Takamina stares at Yuko, “She’s like these three?”
“Not really… I’m a level lower…” Yuko answered, “I’m a mountain guardian spirit. I’m guiding them.”
“Guiding? You are being punished to help us so that you learn how to be responsible.” Mayu glared.
“Hmp… Guess what Takamidget… This guy here…” Yuko pats Mayu back, “is like you.”
“Ha?”
“Don’t you even dare.” Mayu glares.
“He’s cursed too.” Yuko just grins, “It’s something like this~” Yuko whispers something to Mayu, who quickly blushed, and *poof* he became a she.
“You…” Mayu growled, “I’ll twist your neck!!!”
“They’re always like that. Sorry.” Yuki apologize to Takamina, “about the gods… I…”
“I think… I did accidentally break their seal…” Takamina interrupts Yuki as she looks down at her bandaged hands.
“Eh?!” Yuki yelps in surprise. Mayu, who is busy strangling Yuko at the moment, looks at Takamina with her eyes wide open. Yuko, being Yuko, just laughs.
"Umm" Takamina looks away from the trio, "You see... I was busy protecting Acchan from our school bullies..." The started to midget recount her life-changing past.
-----
"Acchan. Run!" Takamina drags Atsuko away.
"OOOI!!!" The bullies screams at the two.
"No girl wants an overly persistent boy! IT'S ANNOYING!" Takamina screams at them.
"Are you even a girl?!" They replied.
"WHY YOU!!!" Takamina glares at the boys. Atsuko just chuckles, amused at the situation and at how Minami's face turned from annoyed to pure infuriation. She just tigthen her hold on to the midget's hand to hopefully calm her beloved friend, after all a fully confident smiling Takamina is still the best.
Moments later, the two stops in front of a small shrine in the middle of the woods. "I didn't know that of school's mini forest isn't mini at all." Atsuko noted.
"And there's a shrine here and a mini altar." Takamina replied as she looks around. "I didn't read this in our school's manual."
"We finally found you!" The boys growled, panting.
"Tsk." Takamina grimaced, "I told you. Girls doesn't want an overly persistent boys! It's a turn off."
"Hmp... No one cares about your opinion Takamini." One of the boys stuck his tounge at Minami.
"Ha! As if I'll leave Acchan to you!"
"It's her choice."
"I don't want to go with you." Atsuko frowns, hugging herself to Takamina. 'Boys. They don't even understand a girl's subtle actions. Idiots.' She thought.
Takamina smirk at them, "See! She don't like you! Now. Shoo!" She shooed them away with her two hands. "Shooooooo!"
A guy charge towards Takamina and push her with all his strength. Minami bumps over the mini shrine altar. "Serves you right! Let's go."
"Minami!" Acchan kneels besides Minami.
"I'm fine." Minami rubs her backside. "I just-" She saw that the mini altar fell down. "Oh my goddess!" She panics as she picks up the fallen altar and put in back to where it was positioned before, "I didn't break it, right?" Takamina cringed in worry and decided to open the mini altar cabinet. Upon seeing a broken urn inside, Takamina immediately shut the altar close and falls down on her knees and hands, crying. "This is bad luck."
"It's not your fault, Taka-chan" Atsuko pats Minami's head. She then grabs Takamina's wrists and pulled the girl up. "Let's forget this day and move on. Ok?" She smiles, lacing their fingers together.
"O-ok" Minami murmured, still sad, but tighten her hold on Atsuko's hand. She bow toward the shrine first, muttering a quick apology, and then walks away with Acchan.
-----
"I heard that the guys who were running after us had an accident on their way back." Takamina said, recalling her teacher's announcement about an incident, but was not further explained to the class, "I don't know if this" Takamina points at the circling gods, "had something to do with the incident or not."
"Maybe." Yuko said while Yuki pulled her and Mayu's ear. "O-ow! Yukiriiin."
"Anyway... Is Mayu really a male or a female?" Takamina asked to change their topic.
"She's really a He!" Yuki replied, twisting their ears first before letting them go.
"O-ooooow!!" The two cried as they sooth their battered ear.
"Eh? Then why did Mayu's blonde hair turns into black when he turns into a 'she'?"
Yuki tilted her head to look at Mayu. It never borthered her before but now that Takamina asked about the hair. She narrowed her eyes at Mayu, silently waiting for an answer.
"Uuhh" Mayu gulped, "Its original color is black." She laughs weakly. "Maybe that's why..." She trailed off, coughing a bit.
Yuko tugs a strand of Mayu's hair, "So you bleach yours?"
"Er..." Mayu looks away.
Yuki thought for a bit and said, "Blonde looks good, but it gives you a little bit of bad boy vibes." Then the three imagines a male Mayu with black hair instead the usual blonde one.
Yuko grins widely. "He looks so prim and proper with black."
"Right, right." Takamina and Yuki nodded. "The blonde or black haired Mayu looks appealing either way." Takamina said as she keeps nodding to herself. "but why bleached it?"
"It was an impulsive action to some stupid comments when I was in high school." Mayu replied, still looking away.
The door suddenly opened. "Acchan!!" Takamina sits up, "what are you doing here?!"
"Takamina!!" She cried, dragging her dextrose with her. "I was worried!"
"I'm fine." Takamina replied as she hug the crying girl, who quickly latches onto Takamina. "You should be resting in bed Acchan... Wait a minute..." She pushed Atsuko in arm's length. "How did you even got here?! And while dragging that thing with you."
Atsuko pouts. "I escape after the nurse finished with the check up... I didn't see you when I woke up. I thought something bad happened to you."
"No. No. No." Takamina shakes her head while saying the no word. "You had it worst!" She pinches Atsuko's cheeks. "You. Should. Rest." The midget scolds her friend. "And besides... I think... You should stay away from me. I almost lost you to this accident because of-"
"of the plague gods?" Atsuko asks.
"Yeah." Takamina nodded, "because of these three I almost lost yo-... Wait. What?" Takamina stuttered; bewildered at what Atsuko had said.
Yuko looks at Atsuko, bemused. "You know about them?" Meanwhile, Yuki and Mayu stood there frozen in shock.
"Yes... Since the day they started following Takamina." Atsuko shrugs. "For some reason, I can see if something or someone isn't normal... You, for example... You're not a human." She looks at Yuko.
"Bingo~" Yuko nodded.
"Eh?" Takamina's mind seems like it couldn't process what's currently happening. The plague gods following her around, causing trouble (and deaths) around her. Yuko being something not normal or something like that and Mayu being cursed like her. And now, she learned that Acchan knows what's happening before she even had an idea. Takamina poke her bruise to make sure is she's really awake or not. "Ugh..." She yelps. That means she's wake right? Wait... What if she's in parallel world where not being normal or cursed is normal? Her mind is still working hard to catch up.
"Ta. Ka. Mi. Na." Acchan pouts in front of Minami. "You're ignoring me!"
"Huh?" Minami automatically replied, still dazed from thinking about everything. "I'm not ignoring you."
"Yes you do."
"I'm not and you should go back to you room now or else..."
A nurse opened the door, "Have you seen- oh... There you are." She said, sighing in relief. "You set the whole staff in panic, Maeda-san." She lightly reprimand, "If you want to visit your friend, you should have told us... We could, at least, help you get here."
"Can I stay in the same room with Takamina?" Atsuko asked.
"I'll see what I can do." The nurse nodded, "but first. You go back to your own room." She then drags the girl back to her own room.
"Err..." Mayu started after the door was shut close, "what about those?" She pointed to the three chibi gods, who were now sleeping on Takamina's bed.
"Seal them?" Yuki suggested, "although... I think Takamina should decide."
"Uhh" Minami stared at the three gods, "I don't really know. I'd feel bad for them if we seal them back, but I'll be a walking catastrophe if we don't."
"Why don't we use Takamidget as the seal itself?" Yuko said, "A replacement for the sealing urn."
"Isn't that dangerous?" Mayu asks.
"Not really... Since the gods willingly attached itself to Takamina, all that's left is to put some seal and charm." Yuko explained. "Seal is for the strengthening of their attachment to Takamina, so that they couldn't wander around free. The charm, on the other hand, will neutralize most negative effects that the gods have... the major ones... That way, Takamina will have control over the three."
"That means..." Mayu looks at Takamina and the gods, "She can, if approved by those, use their power? That's unfair." She scowled.
"Well... in the darker side... If she loses control, we all die." Yuko laughs.
"I can't see what's funny about that." Mayu said, “and you should point out the brighter side. Not the opposite.”
"What do you think Yukirin~" Yuko ignored the Mayu.
"If Takamina agreed... I'll prepare everything immediately." Yuki smiled, "I'll have some charm prepare for myself and Mayu too... Just in case."
"What about me?!"
"You'll live." Yuki replied. She looks at Takamina, "So... What about you? Do you accept?"
Takamina frowns at the three sleeping gods first before looking back at Yuki. "I accept... With that, I can keep a close eye on them."
Mayu stares at the short girl in awe of her determination to carry the burden of the plague gods. She (or rather he) will hesitate to say yes to that. Then again... There's a huge different between Takamina and Mayu's curse. Or maybe not. 'What's important is that she'll be able to stay beside her "friend" without worrying about any accident... and there's too many shocking events happened in just one day.' Mayu nods to herself. 'I want to go home and rest now... Hopefully this won’t become another headache.' She groans silently as she touch her bandaged temple.
Merry Xmas again and Happy New Year~
PS: I picked up some some idea from a manga (I forgot the name... I think it was something like Kitsune Yomeiro(?)) and RO in case someone had noticed something. XD

"What do you think Yukirin~" Yuko ignored the Mayu.
"If Takamina agreed... I'll prepare everything immediately." Yuki smiled, "I'll have some charm prepare for myself and Mayu too... Just in case."
"What about me?!"
"You'll live." Yuki replied. She looks at Takamina, "So... What about you? Do you accept?"
:hiakhiakhiak: :on spit: Yuki is cold to Yuko but subconsciously protects Mayu... LOL Is Yuki just dense or did she already accept that she likes Mayu as a fact and carry on as per normal?!
