Tokyoronto/Pilgrim High

"Is she for real?!…She acted like I just gave her a pat on the back! I freakin' perved on her!…I wonder how much farther- NO! bloody damn it, I gotta win this first!"

-

And just as Yuuki predicted, Ken was going for the shot, trying to make it, but then seeing Yuuki's arms shoot up, and stop him. The young man made a mad dash to get the ball back, trying to catch it before it got into the hands of Yuuki, so he could score. Luckily he managed to get it back, and started at the hoop, shooting, and hitting the board nice and hard, before catching it again, just barely, and shooting a bit more lightly, and making the shot, the ball heading for Yuuki.

":D ?"

(how much longer should their game be?)

Yuuki saw him scramble back and regain his balance but he was too late to stop his shot and when he missed Yuuki dashed to block but the ball left his hands and rolled into the hoop. "Darn it." He mumbled as he walked up to the ball where it rolled to a stop near his feet. "You did good. I thought I had you for a while but I guess not." Yuuki dribbled the ball up to the free throw line casually, and lifted the ball into position before shooting the ball up and into the hoop. "Hm." He shook his head and looked to Ken. "I would have probably gotten you if I hadn't have been on defense." He chuckled, walking up to the boy and lightly taking his hand to analyze it.

"Then again, your hands are more masculine and fit the ball better. Mine are so slender." He rubbed his thumb over Ken's palm but letting go with a sigh. "What do you wanna do now?" He glanced at the teacher then to the clock that rest over the doorway to the entrance of the gym. "I think we still have about seven or eight minutes."

Ken pulled his hand back shortly after Yuuki's thumb rubbed on his palm, as it began to get clammy, and Ken himself was becoming increasingly nervous, slipping them into his pocket, and thinking about what he could possibly do in a mere seven or eight minutes before class would end, and he'd get to go home, finally. He rubbed the back of his neck a moment with his left hand, looked down, and then back up, wiping his other hand on his pants, and looking towards the locker room.

"I'm gonna go in early." Said Ken. I gotta make sure I got all my stuff, so I need all the time I can get."

And he walked away. The seven minutes passed, and Ken was the last in the locker room, having put all his belongings away, and taking off his shirt a moment to spray on some deodorant, and coincidentally, his mother had packed him an Old Spice body spray, Matterhorn scented, as he slowly sprayed under his pits, and the rest of his upper body, before packing that up too, and looking for his shirt and jacket.

He was the perfect prey right that moment, open to be hunted, to be shot with flirty words, that would rip through him like a bullet, and make him helpless...

"You too," Aislyn said. She smiled at Yuuki and then turned to Ezia, who was waiting patiently for her.

Ezia raised an eyebrow. "Off to history?" She asked.

Aislyn smiled at her. "Yes. Let's go."

As they walked, Ezia glanced at Aislyn and said, "So, you interested in Yuuki?"

Blinking at the directness of the question - and then smiling because it was like the Ezia that she knew - Aislyn thought about the question and then said very simply, "She's beautiful."

That caused a silence and a confused look from Ezia.

Noting the look, Aislyn tilted her head and gave her own look to Ezia. "What's wrong? Do you not agree?" She couldn't imagine that anyone wouldn't agree, especially by the reactions that she had seen in the classroom and from the people they had passed when she and Yuuki had been walking through the halls.

Slowly, Ezia shook her head. She hesitated for a moment and then slowly said, "What gender do you think Yuuki is?"

Confused, Aislyn replied, "She's a girl."

Again, Ezia hesitated and wondered briefly if it was better to let Aislyn find out about the information that she held from Yuuki himself. She shook off the thought quickly - it wasn't as if this information would change Aislyn's mind about Yuuki - and Aislyn would owe Ezia for an interesting piece of information. "She's not a girl," Ezia said.

The prettily-dressed young woman walking next to her frowned. "I'm sorry. What -"

"She's a boy," Ezia said.

Aislyn stopped walking, her eyes widening.

Ezia stopped walking as well and looked straight at Aislyn.

"Yuuki's a boy."

Yuuki began to question Ken as he was acting rather strange. Nervous, and jittery at best and if not nervous then he seemed out of it. Yuuki raised his hand to his shoulder as it twanged from a cramp. It had been a long time since he worked out this hard. He squeezed the muscle as he mind wandered towards the activities and the home he would return too in a good sense.

"I'm gonna go in early." Said Ken. Yuuki nibbled on his bottom lip, shaken out of his reverie. "I gotta make sure I got all my stuff, so I need all the time I can get."

Yuuki played volleyball with the girl's for a while just to play nice and make friends before entering the boy's locker room silently before the other males could after making a detour to get his bag from the girl's locker room. He just didn't feel right seeing all those body parts while still being mostly male. He spotted Ken rummaging around his locker and curious as ever, decided to play a bit. Yuuki walked up slowly, catching the scent of cologne that was slightly mesmerizing and entrancing by it's husky flavor.

Unable to help himself, he approached him and turned him around with a quick hold on the shoulder. Yuuki propped both his hands on the lockers, cornering the boy and leaned in, close enough to where his lips could have been touching his shoulder. “Smells nice.” He inhaled slowly whilst a mischievous smirk lit up his eyes. “Or…” Yuuki shifted so that he could meet the boy’s eyes. “Maybe it’s just you.” He felt his tongue trail over his lips, wetting them suggestively.

Ken was just about to finish up when Yuuki suddenly showed up in the boy's locker room, with raised the question of 'Holy shit. Why is she in here?!…Is she gonna break the rules just to screw?…I'm pretty sure that's how the rule goes...'. Yuuki being dressed in a simple white t-shirt, and what could be considered similar to panties, was getting a familiar feeling down low come on, thankfully though, his pants were baggy enough to hide it, unless he directly pointed his member, as he worked carefully not to let Yuuki see.

Ah, Yuuki. That little minx was now close to him, smelling him, licking her lips, and overall, and initiating some good ole' fashioned flirting. And every second of it turned him on, as he tried to resist, failing to do so, chuckling nervously, and getting a little space between them, by putting a gentle hand on the crossdresser's stomach, and moving the fellow a bit…

"Uh…" Began Ken, face now flushed. "D-D-Did you need something?…"

Yuuki grinned like a cheshire cat who had just caught it's prey. "Not really. Just feeling a bit playful before I change and get ready for the rest of the day." He let his eyes trail over the other man, feeling no particular disgust that most men would have felt and giggled. "You were just so distracting that I figured..." He lowered his hand to lightly stroke Ken's who had pushed him away with a hand to the stomach, a point of balance. "Hey, why not take nibble?" He laughed huskily before placing a gentle peck on the man's cheek and walking over to his assigned locker.

Yuuki opened the locker and tossed his bag in there. With a quick timid glance to Ken, he reached for his clothes and pulled out his school uniform. The cross dresser pulled his shirt off and tossed it into the locker. He carefully extracted his white shirt and blazer from the locker and began pulling it on. With another movement, he pulled off the small shorts and pulled up the panties reluctantly. He knew Ken was probably in shock and he turned his head to stare the other man down. "If your questioning it then I'll explain but otherwise.." He shrugged as he slowly pulled the skirt up onto his cinched waist. Yuuki pushed the rest of his stuff into the locker, irritation forming and falling in a flash. He didn't care whether Ken lost interest or not, and even then he was going to turn into a girl either way. If Ken lost interest, there were other options. Options that were just as good! Aislyn, gorgeous and regal, was the perfect woman for any one male. He realized his situation and also realized that for now he was only toying, testing the boundaries set by reality. Yuuki paused at the doorway to the halls keeping his cold, yet oddly beautiful face, forward. "See you later."

He left, heading towards his homeroom classroom to catch up with Aislyn now that she was on his mind.

All through history class, Ezia's words ran through Aislyn's class. She just couldn't stop thinking about it. It was silly she knew - and she was worrying Ezia, who kept glancing at her every few moments (something that Aislyn caught from the corner of her eye). There was no point in thinking so much about it. She couldn't change it even if she wanted to - and really, it didn't matter to her either way. The thing that had attracted Aislyn had been Yuuki's beauty, not her gender.

And it wasn't like she had nothing against boys - Ken flashed in Aislyn's mind as she thought this, and she had to duck her head to hide a blush, both of embarrassment and of regret. That she might have felt something else for her employee - it was ridiculous - and besides, it was Ken, someone who had little social class at all, someone who was decent on the looks scales, although not amazing. All he had going for him were

Personality and talent, Aislyn thought. And those are never good enough reasons to like someone.

Her attention slowly drifted back to Yuuki. She liked boys - well, she preferred girls - they were usually so much more entertaining, so much prettier, so much cuter - but she liked boys, too. So it wasn't that.

It was more...

He's...so beautiful, Aislyn thought. There was a lot - a lot - of admiration in the thought - and just a bit of jealousy, too. It had been okay when he was a girl - when I thought he was a girl, Aislyn reminded herself - he'd never actually been one - but now that he was a boy -

I never knew boys could be so beautiful, Aislyn thought. A very faint smile and light amusement began to play in her mind. This took care of all the problems - every single one. Her parents had never been too happy when she'd gone out or been with girls - they didn't think that it would make a very good reputation - and she wouldn't be able to have an heir, but with Yuuki...

He's beautiful, Aislyn thought. He's beautiful, he's talented - she thought back to the portrait incident - he's interesting and - and, he's a boy. Her smile grew. [i]Everyone's happy.
[/i]

She went through the rest of history on that note, vaguely happy at the thought. Yuuki seemed to have been made for her - he was everything that she wanted and everything that everyone around her wanted to have. He was perfect.

Perfect.

The word echoed in Aislyn's mind briefly as the bell rang.

After taking a moment to pick up her stuff, Aislyn waved to Ezia, a reassuring thing that made Ezia relax and took off the her next class with Erick and Grace, two of her other friends.

When she walked in, Yuuki was already there. Aislyn's eyebrows rose, and then she smiled.

She glided over, her feet silent on the floor and tiptoed next to Yuuki's ear to whisper, "Did you enjoy gym?" She smiled at him. "Was Ken in your class? Did you guys have fun?"

Ken was in awe of everything that had happened, as he made his way to the next class, where he had Aislyn, and as he'd discover, Yuuki also. It was indeed shocking to be turned on, and then suddenly prepared to puke, catching a brief glimpse of Yuuki's…'Truth.' It sickened him, and he wanted to jab his eyes out upon seeing it. But strangely enough, Ken still felt some kind of attraction, and a slight sexual desire. He kept repeating to himself mentally that he was straight, but he wanted to see Yuuki as a lady…

"Oh…Yuuki? AND Aislyn? what luck! heh…"

Yuuki walked down the hall leisurely. With class out maybe he should have told the gym teacher that he was leaving but his irritation had flared. He wasn’t defiled any more than anyone else. Yuuki’s gaze floated over to the row of windows that viewed the field. Students lingered on the track and were cleaning up supplies. A pang of haughty guilt hit him and he turned up his nose. He would have helped but he had been distracted. It wasn’t his fault. Yuuki chuckled and clasped his hands behind his back, striding comfortably alone down the hall as most people were busy.

He avoided the last class for a while before walkign into Homeroom and scannign the room for Aislyn. Seeing that she wasn’t there, he walked over to the window and leaned on the sill. People gazed at him and he had to resist laughing. He knew what he looked like. With the sunlight behind him as it began to get later into the day and his bright eyes, it would have appeared like somethin out of a painting.

He raised his eyes when a feminine figure entered the room. Aislyn entered and he met her gaze happily, almost relieved. He was getting a bit tired from being watched out of the corner of others eyes.
Aislyn’s graceful movement as she made her way towards him entrigued his spirit, as her feet were silent on the floor which was somethign rarely done without practice. She tiptoed next to Yuuki's ear to whispered, making him smile plesantly. "Did you enjoy gym?" She smiled at him. "Was Ken in your class? Did you guys have fun?" Yuuki shook his head with a sigh. “It was okay. Nothing special.” His smooth voice didn’t change. He would treat the incident as if it never happened, for now. They were still friends. He raised his head to brush a strand of ink black hair from his cheek. Yuuki paused for a moment, realizing something, before brushing a hand over Aislyns wrist. “I wish you could have been with us.”

"Oh…Yuuki? AND Aislyn? what luck! heh…" Yuuki snapped his gaze to Ken and blinked a few times as if remembering that he had, in fact, walked into the classroom. “Ah. Yeah, I’m here.” He waved lightly and leaned off the sill to take a seat on top of one of the desks, crossing his leg over the other.

A slight shiver went down Aislyn's skin as Yuuki brushed her wrist. His skin was like silk against hers, and it excited her to know that the person who stood in front of her, framed by golden light that brought out the gold contained in his eyes, was her perfect person.

Aislyn had barely had time to smile at Yuuki, keeping the expression just a bit shy and lowering her eyelids slightly to let her lashes brush the skin beneath her eyes when Ken walked in. She glanced over at him and smiled a greeting - politely - before turning her attention back to Yuuki.

"Only okay? That's too bad." She shook her head and turned her body so that she was leaning lightly against the sill, looking in at the classroom. The sun streamed down her hair, bringing out the blue in it as she tilted her head back slightly and her hair pooled along the window. "I'd hate for you to think that our school is 'nothing special'." She turned her head slightly so that she could look at Yuuki and gave him a half-smile.

Her eyes trailed along him gently, lingering a moment on the chest - that was certainly weird - and then another very briefly on the area between Yuuki's legs, where the folds of the skirt covered neatly - and then she lifted her eyes back to Yuuki's and gave him a light smile.

"I'm have a little -" Aislyn's smile widened at the word, to let Yuuki know that it wasn't really 'little', " - get together at my place later. Ken's coming as well, so you guys can talk about your little contract together. Would you like to attend?" She paused and then added, "And if you need something to wear..." Aislyn let the words trail off and then gave Yuuki a flirty smile. "I'm sure I can provide."

Yuuki glanced at Ken as Aislyn leaned into his body. The glimmer of unease set and vanished in his eyes. Why bother worrying when there was a seductively sweet woman in front of him. A smile played on his lips as he delicately nibbled on his lower lip.

"Only okay? That's too bad." Yuuki frowned as Aislyn turned her body so that she was leaning lightly against the sill, looking in at the classroom. He was slightly disappointed that they didn't get to play a bit more with the sudden interruption. He sighed, he wasn't a lecher. He just loved playing around, like a cat and mouse. Yuuki eyed the hollow of her neck, desiring to nibble on that sensitive spot to see how the regal girl would react. "I'd hate for you to think that our school is 'nothing special'." Yuuki nodded absently and returned her small smile with a pleased laugh. He almost shivered as he noticed her beautiful gaze flowing over his body. It was exciting enough to make him wanna tease her a bit more. He looked to Ken and raised a brow.

"I'm have a little -" Aislyn's smile widened at the word and Yuuki tilted his head curiously. " - get together at my place later. Ken's coming as well, so you guys can talk about your little contract together. Would you like to attend?" She paused, Yuuki began to move to stand but stopped mid-motion. "And if you need something to wear..." Yuuki's expression made a turn for the best. Seeing as it was a delighted grin mixed with surprise and a bit of humor. "I'm sure I can provide." He slowly stood up, acting like he was taking his time to consider and it her was a rather good actor. "I think that would be great. Maybe we can rendezvous earlier and play a bit. You know, makeup and stuff." He laughed but angled his body so that Ken couldn't see his expression as it told of volumes and those volumes said 'Forget girl stuff. Let's play with something a bit more exciting.'

He looked over his shoulder with a chuckle. "So your coming, huh?" He spoke to Ken calmly acting as if nothing had happened between them earlier.

Ken nodded, finally getting rid of the shade of pink on his cheeks. "Yes…before we meet there, you wanna grab a…hot dog or something? Just share a few words? Plus, I don't think it'd be safe for you to walk alone. Somebody might rape you…And…well, uh…That's totes bad. D: right?"

Ken began to nod a little, before putting his stuff together, and looking at the clock. Soon, the three would be free to leave the school building, and get ready for Aislyn's meet-up at her place. Her mansion was always a pretty sight to see, with the girl herself there, standing in the doorway, waving in her cared for guests. Alas, that same brightness and joy wasn't as prevalent, after certain events. "She totally ditched me for another chick, I bet…even saw her go on a couple dates just before I left her mansion after doing some more work! Should I even bother trying again like I prayed I would? She may leave me for Yuuki. And I kind of like he-hi-her! Her! HER! HER! HER! YOU WERE SEEING THINGS IN THE GYM! Ken McFly, you're straight! STRAAAAIGHT!!! DX"

Ken looked over towards the door, and then back to the girl and transvestite. "Yeah…do whatever you want..."

Aislyn smiled and was about to agree to Yuuki's more than slightly provocative statement, when Yuuki turned to Ken and spoke to him, his voice light and cool. Fine enough, but Ken's response was more than a little disturbing. Aislyn's eyes widened as she stared between him, as he started to pack his stuff up and prepared for leaving, and Yuuki who was looking at him over his shoulder with an infinitely normal smile, as if everything was perfectly fine.

But it definitely wasn't.

'Somebody might rape you'? Aislyn couldn't help but feel shocked at the words. She hadn't ever remembered Ken being so - so brash or blunt before. Of course, he wasn't exactly the most cultured person in the world - he wasn't a noble - but he was never rude or mean either - at least, she'd never seen it.

Without really meaning to, Aislyn pushed herself off the windowsill. To Yuuki, she murmured a polite, but very distant, "I hope you'll excuse me," and then began to walk towards Ken as the bell rang. As she did so a little voice in the back of her head - the prim and proper one that guided most of her actions - began to complain (elegantly, of course).

What exactly are you doing? Aislyn was wondering that herself. She had Yuuki all to herself - all to herself. She could have taken him home with her and kept him like a pet. He was perfect - he was everything. Exactly, so go back to him. Just forget about Ken. He's an artist - he's an employee. Emotionally, he should mean absolutely nothing to you. There was a mental snort from her little voice, then a cough to cover it up. After all, you could replace him anytime you wanted.

But she couldn't help but feel that that wasn't true. Ken was - Ken was -

Aislyn caught up to Ken and grabbed his sleeve to catch his attention. "Ken..." She waited until he looked at her and then said, trying to keep her voice proper, but knowing that she failed, "Ken... Did - did something -" Oh God I just stuttered. She shook her head mentally and continued on, " - happen between you and Yuuki?" She stopped, unsure what to say now, unsure what to do. The doubt started coming back. What exactly was she doing?

She hesitated for a moment and then asked, her voice soft, "Are you alright?"

Ken began to think quickly: He wanted to tell Aislyn so badly about what happened and warn her about that gay bastard, but he wanted to feel what he felt before in the locker rooms once more, as he pondered the idea of making an exception. A sexual exception, to be homosexual to Yuuki alone, all because he was slightly turned on by a random encounter. Finally, he simply decided he had to do this one time more. One time, and that was it. To be alone with the fellow once more, and properly confront him…her…whatever.

"You make it sound like rape! D:" replied Ken, his hand shooting out to hold the girl's shoulder, before he quickly pulled back, cheeks turning a shade of pink, as he went 'Ahem' and calmed himself. "Yuuki just admitted his gender to me, he's a guy, if you didn't know…But he wanted me to call him a girl. I respected hi- her wishes, and she and I get along well. :3"

Ken turned away, not wanting to face Aislyn…

"It's nothing, really…I just hope she doesn't like me…" He carefully lied.

Yuuki watched them go, lightly crossing his arms in speculation. By seeing the worried expression on Aislyn's face, Yuuki felt a bit guilty. Not enough to do anything about it but enough to shrug and think about what he was doing.

What in the world am I planning?

Yuuki sighed and raised his hand to play it through the dark strands tickling his cheeks, Sometimes he missed the feeling of the summer breeze on his nape but having long hair was supposed to be somewhat lady-like, as told by his sister. He stood there watching students filter out towards the gate of the school, chatting and having fun with the other students. He glanced over his shoulder to the door curiously and seeing that no one was in the classroom nor was coming in, quietly turned back to the window and opened it so that he could get some fresh air to clear his mind. Now that he had time alone, he could think properly.

I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings. It's just a game and they are like gorgeous chess pieces. I can't resist admiring the lustered beings. Plus, it's not like I have much more time left before I...Before I turn into a woman. I'm already almost there judging by my chest. I'm already an "A" cup! The thought elicited a sardonic chuckle. Yeah. Just wait until I get as big as my onee-chan. Yuuki scoffed while he rested his head on the palm of his cheek. I just wanna play like everybody else. I wanna live too. The new thoughts that came startled him but he closed his eyes reflecting on the idea. It was a childish notion and immature at that but it seemed to summarize most of what he felt. The hormonal teen straightened and snatched up his bag before heading for the door. Perhaps it was time he broke out the truth. Perhaps, just to stir up even more trouble.

Yuuki spotted the two further down the hall and approached silently. He eyed Ken, then stepped up so that Aislyn could see him. His expression didn't change from it's muted seriousness. He wanted to be at least partially truthful to them. They deserved it enough. "Seems you've found me out." He spoke carefully, testing out the situation as his reasoning said that something had gone down and Ken fessed up. "It's true. I am a guy-" He paused as the slight twitch of a cruel smile started on his lips but faded when he shook his head. "-but it's only temporary." The androgynous teen glanced down the hall feeling a bit of unease. "It's a disease. I was born a male, true to the word, but I'm slowly turning into a female. I don't think I have long before I'm a real girl but that's just speculation." Yuuki raised his hand to press his fingers to his temple, feeling stressed. "If you want to know more, I'll explain to you both of you at the party. Not here. It makes me edgy. Someone could be listening." He shifted as he lowered his hand to grip the bag strap laid across his shoulder instead. "Alright? Alrighty then. I'll be going ahead." He coughed and turned right when a small blush crept over his face. Why was he embarrassed about his own disease? His face felt hot and he was sure it could be seen up to the tips of his ears. He hated being adorably shy. It made him wanna shove his face into the nearest pillow. So much for keeping his cool.

"I'm not going to rape anyone!" Aislyn said. She couldn't help smiling at Ken's thoughts. He was very much the teenage boy after all. A slight feeling of surprise arose in her as he touched her shoulder, but she didn't move away - he did that for her.

Her eyes widened as she listened to Ken's reasoning. He's uneasy...because Yuuki's a boy? And because he was attracted to him? Or because he's afraid Yuuki likes him? She wondered as she listened to Ken's last comment.

"Ken, you don't have to hide. I -"

"Seems you've found me out." The words came from Yuuki, who seemed to get steadily more and more embarrassed as he continued to talk. "It's true. I am a guy, but it's only temporary. It's a disease. I was born a male, true to the word, but I'm slowly turning into a female. I don't think I have long before I'm a real girl but that's just speculation. If you want to know more, I'll explain to you both of you at the party. Not here. It makes me edgy. Someone could be listening. Alright? Alrighty then. I'll be going ahead."

For a moment, Aislyn could only look at the two guys - or at least one guy, one half-guy - in front of her. Her mind raced. If Yuuki was going to turn into a guy, he couldn't be the perfect mate for her anymore -

Aislyn stopped.

She looked at Ken. He was facing the other direction, clearly uncomfortable, clearly not wanting to talk about it. He didn't want her to see his face - as if he's afraid I'll find something that will make me dislike him.

She glanced at Yuuki. His face was glowing pink, and his ears had turned bright red. He was facing slightly away too - apparently embarrassment was a feeling that he didn't really enjoy all that much.

It made Aislyn smile just a bit. They were so cute. So wonderful. Both of them.

Carefully, Aislyn stepped up behind Ken and gave him a light kiss on the cheek - it didn't matter who saw. She said softly into his ear, "It's fine. If you don't wanna talk about it, I mean." She looked down and then continued, "But if you do - I am here for you Ken. Don't forget that." She gave him a smile and then walked over to Yuuki.

His face almost literally shone and she fought hard to keep from laughing at it. Instead, she smiled at Yuuki, making the smile as warm and friendly as possible. "If - if you don't want to talk about it, Yuuki - if it makes you feel uncomfortable -" She hesitated and then shook her head. "It's fine no matter what you are. We -" She glanced at Ken. "- will like you no matter what." She smiled again and then lightly kissed Yuuki's cheek.

She looked at both boys for a moment and then waved at them before exiting the classroom. "I'll see the two of you later. Bye ~"

"If - if you don't want to talk about it, Yuuki - if it makes you feel uncomfortable -" She hesitated and then shook her head. "It's fine no matter what you are. We -" She glanced at Ken. "- will like you no matter what." Yuuki blinked in confusion even though he was partially curious to what she meant as Aislyn lightly kissed his cheek.

She looked at both boys for a moment and then waved at them before exiting the classroom. "I'll see the two of you later. Bye ~" Yuuki waved daintily then took that hand to pat his cheeks where the blush steadily faded. "Sorry about that." He glanced to Ken. "I didn't meant to get all serious. It's true though." He gathered his shoulder bag again and headed for the door. "My word still stands. I'm willing to explain but it's pretty difficult to understand." He smiled before exiting the classroom.

Yuuki was just a few steps away from the classroom when he paused, turn around and opened the door to the classroom to peek inside. "Hello? Actually I don't know how to get to Aislyn's house. Is the party still on?" He chuckled at his own silly question but they had talked about it said that there was going to be a party. Whether it was still on or not was the question at hand. If not, he was going home to do homework and go to sleep, maybe add in a walk outside. He thought about it for a moment before shrugging. "Actually never mind. Sorry, see ya later Ken." He wandered back down the hall and out of the building, heading home for now.

Humming slightly, Aislyn danced around her room, the music playing lightly from her speakers making her a bit giddy. It was almost six now, and she was expecting arrivals soon. She'd already had the servants put out the food and the video games and the general entertainment, as well as clear a place for dancing down in the main hall. She's probably not spend a lot of time down there though. That was for her guests, for them to play and do as they would. She'd probably be somewhere more private, getting to know her more valued pets or, more likely tonight, her new favorite.

At the thought of Yuuki, Aislyn slowly slid to a halt, her white undergown swishing slowly around her. The words from that afternoon ran through her head - his condition. She couldn't help but wonder, even though he'd told him that it was perfectly alright even if he chose not to tell her about it, what exactly it was. It must be interesting if it caused such a dramatic change in the boy. And unique, since she'd never encountered anyone with a similar disease or condition or whatever it was.

After a moment, Aislyn shook her head and walked over to her closet, wondering what outfit she should wear that night.

She was currently wearing a very light, cotton dress, white and made for private, homewear - not suitable for a dance or a party. Especially one of her parties. It wasn't as if she required nice dress, but for some reason the people always came in their best clothes, looking fine in silk or velvet or flaring patterns.

There were a great many choices in the closet. She glanced at them all briefly and then touched her hair. It was a deep shade of blue-violet, leaning more towards the blue side. Bright colors with purple or blue tints usually went best with it.

Aislyn extended a slender hand and pulled out an elbow-sleeved wrap dress dyed a brilliant blue. It went down to mid-knee and was very lacking in decoration, but the way the dress fell lightly around her and flared mildly around her knees gave it no need for decoration. Aislyn lightly slipped the new dress on, feeling the silken fabric hug her form before walking over to her bedstand and looking into the mirror to check the dress. After a moment, she smiled. It would do quite nicely.

She progressed to light makeup and then tied her hair up, using an offwhite ribbon which twisted into her hair and onto her shoulders to do so.

Fifteen minutes later - she was ready.

Aislyn smiled into her mirror, the expression almost predatory. Normally, she didn't allow herself to feel such a way, but she had a worthy prey today - and she was ready to hunt.

After a last look at herself, Aislyn exited her room, stepping lightly down the stairs and walking over to her front door, which was being opened by the servants as she did so.

She walked over to the first of the guests and gave him a sweet smile, just a bit of the predation left in the look.

"Welcome."

Ken stepped in. He had dressed surprisingly well, a red-dress shirt under a white sports jacket and some white dress pants. His shoes were made of black leather, and he presently had his hands in his pocket, coupled with a weak smile. He wasn't very into the idea of going to this party at all, and especially not Aislyn's, which would be full of all these people he probably wouldn't have talked to or done anything with. Aislyn herself would probably be busy with Yuuki, the image of two feminine bodies together, Yuuki of course, dominant because he had the 'insertion tool.' That is, depending on when they did it. And he felt as though he knew they'd get touchy in private. And he'd just be the third wheel, doomed to return to the background...

"I see you've hung up some new portraits, boss!…" Exclaimed the teen, looking around, then back to Aislyn. "Is there anything you need me to do since I'm here? I'd be glad to draw some more stuff, maybe impress your other guests? I'm sure they'd turn over if they saw that dragon I was working on, and when I put forth my full working speed of Mach 1…"

He proceeded over towards Aislyn, but of course, maintaining his distance from her, as he looked into her eyes, the ones that used to make him smile just instantly, but now made him feel conflicted, and a tad bitter in the heart...

Aislyn smiled at Kate and her couple for the night and then turned her head back to the front door -

Standing before her was Ken, looking exceptionally respectable in a red dress shirt under a white sports jacket over white dress pants. His shoes looked a little out of place, being the only back in his mostly red-white outfit, but still the whole look was very neat and set him off nicely. Despite his nice look, her artist looked a bit uncomfortable - she could guess why. Ken had never really been comfortable around her other friends and since the 'incident', it'd been a little awkward for the two of them to be close to each other or talk to each other on anything except for professional terms. It was something that she regretted.

But, maybe that can change tonight, Aislyn thought. She smiled at Ken's words, although the smile was a bit sad - only business talk of course. She shook her head. "Not tonight, Ken. Tonight, just enjoy yourself. Have fun. Relax." She hesitated and then stepped in closer and said quietly, "And it's okay if you call me Aislyn. Really." She looked into Ken's eyes - they were pretty, even if they weren't anything incredibly special. "Really - I..." She trailed off, unsure what to say. Recounciling the relationship entirely would cause all sorts of rumors to start up again, but if she didn't, she was almost afraid of losing Ken - and that she was fairly certain she didn't want to happen. There wasn't much that she could do. And besides, she now had Yuuki to set Ken off against.

Aislyn lowered her eyes momentarily and then raised them again to look at Ken, keeping her gaze firm so that he would see that she wasn't just playing around. "I'd like us to be friends again - if possible. If -" She stopped again, feeling weird. She shook her head. "If it's alright with you." It meant 'if you still want to be friends', but she couldn't bring herself to say it aloud. It was beneath her to say something like that, and besides, Ken would understand what she meant.

Softly, Aislyn added, "I'm sorry."

McFly stared at Aislyn for a moment, and sighed…

"Aislyn, we've always been friends, I guess…" He muttered to the girl. "I'm unsure why you would say that when you've done nothing to make me unhappy with you, but everything is…alright, I guess…"

Ken began to scratch his head, and looked over to the side…

"Why don't you wait for Yuuki? She'll want to see you at the door, the first beautiful face in the whole building…plus, you can tell me how she looks before I see her. I dunno if I want to believe it, but if Yuuki is a guy turning into a girl…that changes a couple things…makes her seem more interesting to pursue…as a fellow artist, I'm really still unsure if I like her or anything. She's pretty cool, and I'm sure you agree, Ai."

He took a deep breath, and looked back towards the door…

"What I'm saying is, forget whatever you're thinking of, it shouldn't matter: Our plans for Yuuki are much bigger. Making her feel at home, getting her under your employ…y'know…And maybe also getting her to be my partner?…when I work on drawings and such for you..."

'Alright'...it doesn't sound like it, Aislyn thought. She looked at Ken, her expression slowly changing as he switched the conversation topic to Yuuki - to how cool he seemed - Ken referred to him as a 'she' as if in denial - or was she the one in denial in this whole thing? If Yuuki was really going to turn into than technically, there would be no real advantage to her going after him - or referring to him as a guy, because it already seemed as if he wasn't - but...was he?

Confusion swirled around Aislyn's mind, made worse by the fact that Ken's attraction to Yuuki was now becoming startlingly clear. She'd seen it before of course, just as she'd seen the attraction between the rest of the world and Yuuki - he was that lovely - but now she was starting to realize just how serious it was. How incredibly - scarily - serious it was. The innuendos that he was dropping - as if he wanted her to hook him up with Yuuki - as if it was only right because Yuuki was soon going to become a girl anyways -

Was that what he'd meant? She still wasn't sure - his language had been so...vague, so -

She couldn't dwell on this. In another moment or two, it would be showing on her face - the feeling that she had never really felt for anything or anyone because no one - no one - refused her.

Jealousy.

I am not - Aislyn denied and then shook her head. She looked back up at Ken and smiled at him, as if everything was okay and as if the thoughts in her head weren't swirling about like a hurricane. "That sounds good," She said lightly, although there was a feeling in her stomach that told her to keep Ken and Yuuki as far away from each other as possible. "I think you two would be a -" She paused, unsure of what to say. Aislyn didn't want to come across as jealous, but she didn't want to encourage them, too much. After all, Ken was her friend - her employee - her - And Yuuki - Yuuki was to be hers. "Productive," She chose finally, "Pair. I'm sure that you'll make amazing works for my collection." She smiled at Ken and gestured him inside. "Would you like to mingle with the other guests or wait for Yuuki with me?"

Yuuki entered the silent house. Although not all was what it seemed. He knew that his family was busy in the niches they had built for themselves. "I'm home!" He called out into the empty space. All of a sudden light filtered into the hall and the thump of several feet hurried towards him. "Yuuki!" His two sisters threw themselves on him with a ferocious hug and he glanced around for the third sister who was the oldest. "Where are Ami, and mom?" They shrugged and proceeded to drag him towards their bedroom. "So tell us all about your day. What's up?" Yuuki chuckled and allowed them to drag him on. He would need their help anyways. "I have a party to go too. Would you dress me up?" With a quick squeal from the youngest, his fate was sealed.

He looked into the mirror. The girls had pinned his hair to one side,, leaving his bangs down and curling them to the side. The part that was pinned into a bun had curls falling down, tickling the back of his neck. They had applied light makeup, gloss and shadowy eyeliner to bring out his strong features. The dress they had pushed him into was a red gown with roses coming up his left side and stopping on his chest. The roses seemed to pull the folds of dress on the torso together which swathed his figure in silky red. Black lace trim edged his chest, seeing as the dress was shoulder-less, and also edged his waist. From there on, the dress seemed to spread in two different layers. The bottom layer had the black trim and was the longer skirt. The top was the loose skirt that tied into a bow on his left side. Another rose rested on the bow's center. His hand tugged at the black scarf around his neck whilst his other hand fingered the roses in his hair. The one's in his hair were real and were a present from his older sister who had come in later and seen the preparation. "It looks fine Yuuki. Your gorgeous." He frowned at the image of the pristine girl in the mirror. The middle sister, Sakie, brushed a hand over his black gloves that came to his upper arm. He shied away and stuck out his tongue. “I know that. I just don’t like wearing heels.” The girls giggled and he shrugged. Karen, the oldest, waved him towards the door. “C’mon. Let’s get you to the party.” He nodded and elegantly strode forward.

Yuuki stepped out of the black car and looked up at the mansion. His sister called to him. “You want me to go with?” Yuuki shook his head and paced towards the door. He noticed guests lingering at the door and some were moving inside. Eyes glanced towards him and then glanced again, as if mesmerized by his beauty. He modestly smiled and entered the building. His golden eyes searched the room for Aislyn, hoping to thank her for the invitation before anything.

Ken nodded to Aislyn. He didn't notice a single thing wrong with Aislyn, and tried not to dwell on it. Then, he was asked on his next action, whether he'd move on for the party, or stay back and wait to meet Yuuki. Ken mulled it over for a bit, and spoke:

"Sure. I'd like to see what she's wearing. Maybe Yuuki will dress especially for one of us. She did give us both a little look or two, y'know?…She might be bi like you are…"

Silence came over the two after that. Jack felt rather stupid for saying such a thing…

"…And if you two get together, consider a threesome. XD… Ah…well…yeah. Horrible Jokes aside, I'm sure Yuuki will wow us with her looks."

-

Ken turned to find Yuuki searching for them, and waved over for her to see them. He instantly took Aislyn's hand, stopped, and bit his lip, before letting go…

"Ah…Aislyn, sorry. I didn't want to talk to Yuuki alone, sorry…" He mumbled nervously. "Well, I'll leave it to you on what we should do…"

The feelings went through his body again as he again looked towards the crossdresser. An image came into his mind that the three of them were just talking, and Yuuki had a bump in her skirt: a boner, shattering the whole image. He turned his head back to Aislyn, and into her eyes.

"I've been practicing my dancing, y'know…" He chuckled, trying to re-initiate conversation. "After you greet Yuuki, I could make some more art…if you'd like to…dance? Not that we have to be together this party…well…y'know. I don't want to affect your reputation improperly…not like…a couple…"
