“Tatsumi!”

“Can this wait, Watari? I’m in the middle of something.”

“What are you doing?” Watari swiveled an office chair around to straddle it and rested his chin on his hands.

“I was meditating,” Tatsumi said.

“Doesn’t that usually involve sitting?”

“I prefer movement meditations,” Tatsumi said. He opened his palm and drew forth a strand of darkness, rolling it into a sphere that hovered between his palms.

“Oh, I see,” Watari said. “You’re communing with the shadows. I’ll just wait until you’re done then.”

Tatsumi closed his eyes and went through the movements. He called on the darkness of his soul and had it merge with ki. The blend ignited the shadows, causing them to flow around his body like liquid fire. He extended his arms to the sides as he inhaled and brought them over his head in a circle, pushing down to his base as he exhaled.

Watari watched for a while and stretched. He wrinkled his nose at the stench that emitted from his lab coat. “Ugh,” he murmured, “I should’ve thrown this in the wash.”

He took out a bottle of his special cologne, personally blended in his laboratory. In his quest to make the perfect gender switch elixir, he had blended oils together to create a scent to embody feminine and masculine aspects.

He sniffed the nozzle with a satisfied smile…and sneezed.

The bottle crashed to the floor, landing at Tatsumi’s feet.

The puddle of cologne seeped into the shadows and was absorbed.

“What was that?!”

“My special mix!” Watari pouted. “I spent days making that! Now I’ll have to make another bottle!”

Tatsumi raised the back of his hand to his nose and winced. “It’s awfully potent.”

“Very much so,” Watari said cheerily. His face dropped when the shadows started crawling up Tatsumi’s legs. “Um…Tatsumi…are they supposed to do that??”

Tatsumi raised a quizzical eyebrow and looked down. He casually brushed the shadows away and adjusted his glasses when they returned to cling at his legs. “No, they’re not supposed to do that.”

“Oh,” Watari said. He watched with growing fascination as they seeped into Tatsumi’s pants. “Hey, where’d they go??”

Tatsumi twitched and jerked away from Watari, batting at the air in front of his waist. “What did you put in that cologne?”

“Just some oils, herbs, ki-enhanced phermones…”

“Ki-enhanced WHAT?!” Tatsumi fumbled with his pants and struggled to pull out the shadows.

“Should I rescue you or take pictures?”

“Watari!”

“Just…let me get my camera.”

“Watari!”

“Right right,” Watari ran over and knelt down, examining the situation. “They really seem to like you. And it seems that you really like them.”

Tatsumi’s face went red and he became more flustered. “Make them stop!”

Watari leaned close and yelped when the shadows pulled him forward. “Ack!”

Tatsumi stumbled to the floor, Watari’s face in his crotch.

“Ooops.”

“Ooops?? What do you mean ‘ooops’?!”

“I forgot that I was wearing some of the cologne,” Watari said. “I splashed some on the other day. Like attracts like.”

Tatsumi sighed and leaned back onto the floor, throwing an arm over his face. “You’re the scientist. You figure out a way to remove the cologne.”

“You’re the Shadow Master,” Watari pointed out, resting his head against Tatsumi’s thigh.

“We’ll have to wait it out,” Tatsumi said. “How long does the cologne’s effects last?”

“A few hours,” Watari said.

“That’s not so bad.”

“That’s a few hours for one spritz…those shadows soaked up the entire bottle,” Watari said. “You’re gonna be screwed for twelve hours at least. You should at least enjoy it!”

“I don’t plan on doing that alone.” Tatsumi strained to reach a keypad that fell to the floor and hit the door lock to the room.

Watari’s eyes widened. “W..were those the doors?”

Tatsumi smirked and willed the shadows to cover the room in darkness.
