Yousei no Kuni

Twelve

Eeeeep!

A swim was too tempting an offer to pass off for the fairylings who were hot and bothered by the day's chores.

"Minna-san ikuyo~!" Levin and Toshiya piped as they led the way to their usual swimming hole.

Both Aiji and Kaoru were stung when everyone started to strip to the buff when they reached a small pond among the tall grass and rocks.

"Are? You guys not swimming?" Toshiya's eyes were wide with curiosity at the newbies' lack of movement of ridding their clothes.

".…." Aiji looked down at his shoes while Kaoru's jaws dropped. Toshiya was standing there, hands on waist with his head crocked to one side in question, presenting to the two a full frontal view of himself unabashedly.

"Oh my god! I think they're blushing!" Levin screamed as he ran around butt naked, flagging his arms about in jest at the two.

"AIJI AND KAORU ARE BLAAAAAAAA-SSSHING~!"

Everyone laughed at the duo's unease while Toshiya merely rolled his eyes.

"For crying out loud! Stop behaving like GIRLS you two! Why do I have to do everything around here!?" Toshiya grumbled as he went about stripping the two.

"Eeeeeeep!!"

Levin and Hyde helped.

"He will return to normal by sunrise tomorrow, right?" Ryutaro asked for the umpteenth time as he patted the precious cargo that was sleeping in the bag he'd hung around his neck, leaving a ghostly handprint on the bag.

"Yes Ryu-chan. Don't worry too much. I taught Kyo the spell so it's safe. Besides, if he doesn't, I can always get my mommy or daddy to change him back." Emiru smiled as he poured honey over the corn kernels.

"Mh…." Ryutaro nodded as he went back to kneading the sweet bread dough.

The sun had just set when the gang decided to head back to their individual homes when the two young fairylings from that afternoon appeared before them.

"Hey guys!" Miyabi beamed, waving his hands about to catch their attention, with Sakito tagging very close behind him.

"Ebi-chan! There you are! Mh, we were having so much fun we forgotten all about you two." Toshiya teased his brother.

"Hidoi!" Miyabi stuck his tongue out at his older brother.

"Ano ne….." Sakito's voice barely audible amidst the brothers' chatter as he tugged at Miyabi's clothes and whispered something to his ear.

"Mh? Oh right! Minna-san! We'vd got a surprise for you all!!!" Miyabi yelled.

"What is it?" Everyone was curious.

"Wanna know? Then follow us!" Miyabi baited as he and Sakito took off into the air.

"Hey! You're not suppose to hide anything from ME!" Toshiya pouted and took off after his brother.

Everyone looked at everyone for a second, before shrugging and followed Toshiya.

"Quick! They're coming!" The fairylings hastily put the finishing touches to their surprise.
