Warnings: Gender Bender, Yaoi (Boy x Boy relationship),

Chapter one - Beginning Again

"Master Eubulon," Kit said with a bow after she had closed the door, walking into the room. The Advent Master was sitting on a training mat, his legs crossed. He wore his simple sleeveless black shirt and black jeans.
"Sit down," he instructed her. She did as she was asked, brushing her now elbow-length light brown hair out of her face. Kit sighed mentally as she remembered what had happened to cause the drastic change.

Kit had been turned into a woman by Xaviax while they had been using their Link Vent on him. He had actually intended to destroy Kit, but something went wrong and Kit ended up as a woman. It had been awkward at first, but she had grown used to it with a lot of help from Kase. All of the Ventaran Riders had become very fond of her in a short time and treated her like their little sister. Sometimes they were even very overprotective of her, even though Kit could defend herself very well.
Sighing again mentally, Kit turned her attention to what Master Eubulon was telling her, focusing on the training session.

Chance was on his way to Kit's room. He was worrying about her. Although she had become used to being a woman, he could feel that something was still bothering her. He had talked with Price about it, and he suggested they take her out to have some fun.

Chance knocked on Kit's door and entered when he received no answer. He found her sitting on her bed, head in her hands, being lost in her thoughts. "Kit?" he asked while placing a hand on her shoulder. His voice and touch made her jump.
"Sorry. I didn't hear you enter," she apologised, feeling slightly embarrassed that he had caught her by surprise. "Are you alright?" Chance enquired, his eyes concerned as he looked at her.
"Of course I am!" Kit exclaimed. She didn't convince Chance, but he didn't want to push the matter. Kit would tell them when she was ready, he hoped.
"Price and I want to take you out to have some fun," he stated simply, his eyes showing little of the concern he felt.
"Sure," Kit agreed. She could use some distraction after her last training session with Master Eubulon. It had been tiring, and she wanted to have some fun.
They met Price at the entrance of the Rider base. Price gave Kit a brotherly hug. He had been away for a few days and was glad to see his 'little sister' again. Since Chance had told him about his worries over the phone a few days ago, he had been worried about her as well.

"Where are we going?" asked Kit as they started to walk towards the city.
"Well. I was thinking about the cinema," answered Price.
"As long as it's not a soap or anything with too much romance in it I am fine with it," answered Kit with a grin. Price returned the grin, glancing at Chance. He wondered if his friend had been worrying about nothing. Kit seemed fine now.

Chance, Kit and Price returned to the base just in time for dinner. Although the activities had lightened Kit's mood, the two older Riders could still sense that Kit had something on her mind, and that something was bothering her greatly.
"Where have you been," Kase demanded just as the trio entered the dining room. One could see immediately that she was very angry. Kit sensed at once that her anger was directed at Chance and Price for not telling anyone where they had taken Kit. Apparently all Riders knew that something was bothering the youngest Rider and were worried about her.
"They took me out to have some fun," Kit told her hastily to allay her anger. Still concerned, Kase let the topic go and sent some glares at Chance and Price. During dinner the Riders told each other about their days. Only Kit was quiet, picking at her food and eating little. Len noticed that and made a mental note to ask her after dinner. She was one of his closest friends now, and he wanted to help her.

Kit was on her way to her room when Len walked up to her.
"Kit." She stopped and turned to face her fellow Rider. "What is bothering you?" he asked seriously.

"Nothing. I'm fine. No need to worry," she answered, not wanting to talk about it.

"Kit. Don't lie to me. I can see that something is bothering you." Len sounded calm, but Kit could see that he was angry from the look in his eyes.

"I can deal with it on my own," she said coldly and walked away. Len was too shocked to follow her.

After the shock had worn off Len figured it would be no use to talk with her today. Instead he decided to talk to the other Riders. They were just as worried as him, and they might have some ideas about what was bothering her.
As if they had had the same idea the other Riders were already waiting for him in the common room.
"Where's Master Eubulon?" Len asked after he had sat down on one of the chairs.
"He's taking a walk through the city," answered Nolan. Len nodded, remembering that their Master did that often. "There is something Price and I want to discuss with you," said Chance, his voice serious and his eyes furrowed in concern. The other Riders knew immediately that the situation had to be serious. When Chance was refraining from joking it had to be really serious.
"What is it?" asked Nolan.
"Kit," answered Price at once.
"So you're worried about her as well," stated Quinn sounding relieved. Kase noticed that Len felt uncomfortable."What's wrong, Len?" she asked him. Everyone's attention turned towards Len, and he shifted in his seat uncomfortably.
He sighed and explained, "I hoped I was only imagining that her distress was this serious." He proceeded to tell them about his earlier encounter with Kit.

"Could it be that she still isn't fully used to being a woman?" asked Chase once Len had finished. "No. I don't think so," answered Kase, "I took her to the spa last week, and she didn't have any problems with getting a makeover. I even asked her, and she said she feels actually more comfortable than ever. She seemed very honest about it, and Kit isn't the type to lie about that kind of stuff."

"She also had a lot of training sessions with Master Eubulon lately. At least four times a week, and each session lasted at least five hours," Ian pointed out.

"What?" asked Len shocked. He hadn't known Kit was training that much with Master Eubulon.
"It's true and let's be honest. One training session per week leaves all of us aching for at least five days,' agreed Cam.

It was almost midnight when they had finished discussing Kit's strange behaviour. They hadn't been able to reach a conclusion, which left them all frustrated. They bid each other good night and left for their rooms, each of them thinking about what had been discussed and wondering what they should do.

Well, that was the first chapter. Hope it pleases you. Critique and reviews are always welcomed. See you in the next chapter
