4 The 2nd Stage

After struggling to forget the hot dreams, don't know when, Yuki falls asleep, again… but then the torture begins… In the morning, His body start to feel hot but there's no trace of sweat. It's so hot that it makes him wants to peel off his skin, but he also feels sluggish. Yuki though, so this it is, the second stage of the process. It's horrible.

Time passed so fast, it's already night. He still feels so tired and hot, but he knew the worse is yet to come. But, what make him wonder is that nobody come to see him. Do they ignore him? He knew that he's emitting some sort of smell that they can't stand, but don't they suppose to send him some food? Although, he's not really hungry.

It's really made him surprise that he's not hungry. It's already more than 24 hours since his last meal. Think about it, perhaps due to the hotness of his body and the lost strength makes him lost appetite.

He knew that that part of his body is changing, he wants to take a peek, but he dares not to take a look, he can't look! How can he? He has been raised as a man, and he also thought that he's a full fledged man, but not! He is not a man! Not a male! How can he look at the thing that suppose be his proud? The approval of his manhood?

His precious part actually not really something that can be proud of. He already considers smaller than average man. Knowing that after the process, his precious will become smaller, it's not helping at all! he feels depressed! Why? Why him?

While depressing about his situation, then suddenly a surge of pain kicks in. At first, it feels like a normal stomachache but then it gradually increased. It's hurt. It's hurt a lot, it almost like someone is crushing his internal organs. His backbone feels like someone is chopping them like they're chopping woods.

So, in the middle of the night the sound of Yuki voice, howling, wakes up the whole mansion. Aoki and Hakuto runs out from their room and sprint to his room. When they arrived, they saw Houran and few other workers are outside Yuki's door, covering their nose.

Saw his master walking toward them, Houran and other bow to give respect, but their hand still covers their nose. Seeing this, Hakuto wrinkle his brow and ask, "why are you covering your nose?"

"You… don't you smell it Hakuto?" Aoki was shock! This guy… is he for real? Didn't he smell the fragrance that comes from Yuki's room?

"Smell? Smell what?"

"Yuki female scent! Don't you smell it?" Aoki said. He also has his hand pinching his nose, so his voice has become like Donald Duck voice, the other servant wants to laugh hearing that, but they suppressed it, afraid to offend their master's best friend or… his only friend?

"Of course, I smell it but is it necessary to cover your nose? it's smell just like before."

Hearing this, everyone is shock! "Hakuto are you alright? How can you not smell it? No… how can the scent smell the same? It's totally different!"

"What different? It just the same…"

"Master, Fujiwara young master is right. What we smell is different. Don't you know the female emitting a different smell during their second stage of the process?" Houran said to his master. He also surprised to see his master is fine after smell the scent.

"Hakuto, the scent on the first stage is to mark and to announce that the person is about to become female and it also like they very own personal identification, it's different for each person also, before adultation the genderless elf emitting same scent. But, it's different on second stage. The second stage is the stage when the female is most vulnerable. The scent is to protect them from male. No matter from what race the male is, when they smell the scent emitting from female on their second stage the male will feel suffocating, it's not only feels like there's no air to breath but, it also feels like hundreds of thousand needles piercing the male nose and lungs. So, it's impossible that you're not feel anything or smell something else."

The whole corridor drop dead in silence, then suddenly a very old voice rang.

"It's not impossible."

The owner of the voice is the old head butler of Kudo Clan, Hattori.

"Hattori. It's rare to see you out of your room now days" Hakuto says.

"The scent emitting by the female inside the room is to strong that I cannot help but not to ignore it. For as long as I live, this is the second time I came across situation like this."

"What do you mean it's not impossible?" Aoki asked. He's dying to know.

Hattori chuckle then say, "The reason master is fine with the scent is that mean, that the female is master fated mate."

"What!?" Aoki jaws drops. His mouth is wide open almost an eagle can fit in.
