A Virus Vignette

Day - 790
Konatsu sat down and sighed. All this time and his stepfamily really had been right. She WAS a girl.
Day - 800
For perhaps the thousandth time since catching the virus he found himself stretching and warming up for another attempt what he had been told many times was impossible. After perhaps fifteen minutes he walked into the bathroom stared into the mirror, planned his attack, and splashed himself with a glass of water.
Then Mikado Sanzenin desperately attempted to kiss himself.
Day - 900
A maniacal gleam entered Ukyou's eyes as he examined herself in the mirror.
"Why didn't I think of this before?" She asked herself outloud. ~Because there's an even chance he'll blow a gasket?~ If this worked she was going to have to thank Akane...she paused for a moment.
"Wow, the difference that a year can make," Ukyou said. "Me going to Akane for relationship advice, sheesh. Anyway, time to do this." She walked into the lounge of her restaurant's living section, carrying a glass of water. And dumped its contents on the occupant.
"Hey, what did you do that fo..uh," Ryouga-chan paused mid yell, almost choking. She noticed several things, he wasn't wearing a shirt, he was a He, and He was giving her the Look. "Uh...uh...uh..."
~Well at least he's not fainting,~ Ukyou told herself. She began to explain herself slowly in what she hoped was a soothing voice. "Well you see, Ryo-chan, I was hoping for a little fun by this time. And since everytime I make a move as female you pass out, I thought that maybe..."
"Erk..."
*Commentary: I'm a Ryouga/Ukyou fan...deal with it...*

"Oh my, you have beaten my champion," Akari said. "Father says that only the man that beats Katsunishiki is worthy to marry me..."
"Is you not chasing pig-boy?" Shampoo demanded.
"Got tired of nose-bleeds," Akari answered with a sigh. "Too bad I wasn't as imaginative as that Kuonji person."
"But Shampoo is not man!" Shampoo shouted trying to deny the visual evidence.
"Is there a difference any more?" Akari asked seriously.

"Yohko!!" the demon-hunter turned to face her grandmoth...err father with an annoyed glare. "How can you date that...PERSON!?!"
"Hey, he's cool once you get to know him," Yohko shrugged. "Besides, he's survived longer than any of my other boyfriends, and unlike the rest of them, he can actually fight as well as I can."
"That's not the point," Matoko shouted.
"Oh give it up, Grandma," Yohko snorted. "I'm not dumping Iako, and that's that."
*Yohko and Iako are identical third or fourth cousins, that's pretty far into the safe range for relationships.*
Day - 1200 a traditional Juraian two spouse marriage
"They're back," Sasami cheered as he saw the honeymooners appear at the top of stairs. With the rain outside he didn't really want to bother with changing back, chances were she'd just change back to a boy anyway.
"Okay everybody get ready," Nobuyuki whispered as they all found hiding places. A short time later Tenchi-chan and Ayeka-otoko walked inside a little ahead a yawning Ryoko.
"Surprise!! Welcome back!"
"Is all this for us?" Tenchi-chan asked.
"Oh what a wonderful surprise!" Ayeka-otoko declared.
"Yeah," Ryoko yawned. "Thanks guys."
"Um...Ryoko, you look kind of tired," Sasami noted.
"Are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Ryoko blinked and yawned again.
"We're all a little tired, Sasami," Ayeka said, with a demure blush that would have suited him better as a female.
"We, uh, didn't get much sleep," Tenchi admitted.
"Yeah, but Ryoko is asleep on her feet," Sasami noted. All three newlyweds blushed at this.
"She's the only one of the three of them that's female all the time," Mihoshi piped up suddenly.
"Ohhh...." Sasami said, blushing as well. "Never mind."
"What are you all looking at!!" Ayeka demanded.

"MEDIC!!" the woman shouted, angrily. "What are you doing in this battle!? YOU'RE A MEDIC!! You job is to stay behind and put people back together!! Now GET out of my way! I have mobile dolls to destroy!!"
"Hey, WuFei," someone else shouted of the radio. "I think the name is 'Sally', not 'Medic'."
"QUIET!! He has no place in full battle!!"
"Don't worry about it, Duo" a masculine voice broadcast. "I don't think Wufei knows how to do anything but insult people."
"Oh...I thought he was just uncomfortable about the pole up her..."
"AAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
*yes I know medics are often in battle, but I'm sure Wufei would come up with something like that in place of the usual "Woman" comment.*
