The Harvest; Chapter 6: The Reason to Grow

Inside the Shimura house, Yoshimori sat by the bed of Gen and Sen who was still unconscious, along with Madoro who had fainted from earlier.

Suddenly Yoshimori perked up when he heard groaning, as he looked as both males began moving and stirring from their sleep. Eyes slowly began to open and his two friends rose slowly from the futons, both rubbed their heads,

"Ah my head…what the hell happened" Gen said rubbing his head, "Ewww…why does it taste like I've eaten mouth full of lawn clippings" Sen said sticking his tongue in disgust at the bad taste in his mouth.

"Well it's nice to see you guys back to normal" Yoshimori smiled at the two who gave him a confused look, "Normal?...aw my head what happened to us?" Gen said looking at Yoshimori who was trying to think of a way to tell them.

"So you guys don't remember anything?" Yoshimori said as the two shook their heads, "Um…well…oh boy" he said scratching his head.

"Okay, first things first you were both possessed by some evil plant demon" Yoshimori said as the others gave him a 'wtf' look. "I'm serious some freaky plant creature turned you and half the city into evil plant zombies" he said seriously.

"Hm…I think I remember…we were on the roof and some kind of creature attacked us and then…Sen!" he voiced looking at the surprised male, "What!? What!?" he said looking at the usually calm male, "You kissed me!" he said as the other looked at him, "What I did not!" he shook his head as the other glared at him abit.

"Yes you did you put your tongue down my throat!" he said as dread spread over the blonds face as he fell back in horror.

"Oh Kami can things get any worse!?" Sen said flailing his legs in a tantrum like way.

"Um…well…" Yoshimori scratched his cheeks as both males turned toward him, "Yoshimori, what aren't you telling us" Gen said with a serious look on his face.

"Well, how do I put this…" he looked away blushing as Gen looked toward the mumbling boy, suddenly a smell hit his noise.

"Yoshimori…" the black haired youth looked toward the Night Troop member as he gave him a suspicious look, "Why do you smell like sweat, regret, and…" he sniffed the other more when suddenly it hit him,

"Um Gen" Yoshimori blinked in confusion as Gen continued to stare at him, "You're not a virgin anymore" Gen said simply and Yoshimori began having a small freak out at his statement.

"Wait? Someone deflowered the Shimura brat" Sen began to laugh as Yoshimori looked away in embarrassment, "I wouldn't be laughing so much cat-boy" Gen said as Sen stopped dead in his laughter.

"Huh?"

"According to this" he pointed to his nose, "You're not a virgin either" he said and Sen's face became red with embarrassment, "What the hell Shishio!" he yelled in shock, "If you don't believe me smell from yourself"

Sen looked at the other before he turned his back to the two and began sniffing over himself.

"Well" Gen looked as the others head lowered in shame and dread as an aura of despair cloaked itself over the blond male.

"Why me" Sen soured as the two continued to look at him, "Its bad enough my tongue was inside Shishio and that it tastes like a spent days licking someone's lawn…"

"But what is worst I smell like…like" he leered sadly over at the two, "I lost my virginity to Shishio" he began to weep falling face first to the floor.

"Actually Gen only did it with me" Yoshimori said with an embarrassed blush, "I'm the one who actually took your virginity"

"Oh god!No!" Sen whined louder as Gen looked away impassively a small blush dusted over his cheeks.

"I hate you both!" Sen said tears still streaming down his face

"Well it wasn't a picnic for me either" Yoshimori said still looking away, he was lying of course, but he would not admit it.

"Well, it's no use whining about it now" Gen sighed as the two looked toward him, "What's done is done, we can't change what happened. What we need to be doing is figuring out how to defeat the plant demon and break its control over its captives" he said as Yoshimori nodded

"Your right we have to save our friends" he said as Sen sat up, "So how do you suggest we do that? If what you told us is true we're out numbered, plus we run the risk of hurting some innocent bystander" he added

All three began to go deep in thought before Yoshimori snapped his fingers, "I got it"

"Huh?"

"Listen, while you two were still under the demons control I found out the plant creature needs some kind of vital ingredient to complete its plan"

"Yeah what's that?" Seen said

"Me" he pointed to himself and both males' eyes rose in suspicion and shock.

"Okay here me out, that thing needs me, we can get close to it if I get captured" he said

"Are you crazy!?" Sen said

"Yoshimori what makes you think this plan of yours will work?" Gen added

"Well if I'm right that thing doesn't know you too are back to normal" he said, "You two will pretend to still be plant zombies and present me to the head vegetable"

"Then once I'm close enough a can use the weed killer and wilt the bastard" he said confidently as the others just looked at him.

"Great plan Shimura, but your plan has one flaw" Sen said as Yoshimori blinked in confusion

"What?"

"Where the hell are we gonna find enough weed killer to kill a 50 foot tall plant demon!" Sen yelled as Gen rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"He's right, even if we get close enough, I don't think we can carry a gallon of weed killer with us without them noticing and capturing us"

He was right, he had less than half a bottle left and it wasn't even close to enough to destroy the demon.

"Ah man, what now?" Yoshimori shrugged sadly

"Excuse me" a voice called from above them, it was Tokines ghost dog, Hakubi, "If I may, I think I know the solution to your problem"

At Tokines House…

"Whoa!" Yoshimori gasped as he opened the door to the garden shed, the walls were lined with drums of weed killer, enough to kill a forest or choke an elephant.

"Yes Tokines grandmother prides herself on her garden and keeps weed killer around for the entire year" he said as the others looked around.

"Alright! This is more than enough to finish off that twisted plant demon" Yoshimori grinned as he looked over the drums of the liquid.

"Hm, looks like your plan might have some merit" Gen said looking at the many drums of weed killer

"Great, alright guys let's go!" Yoshimori said, "Look out plant creature we're getting our friends back!"

And so they prepared to enact their plans, hopefully they weren't too late to stop the evil plant demon from fulfilling his twisted plans.

….to be continued….some day….maybe….
