ONE WAY STREET

CHAPTER 2 OF THE MANGA

"Be careful what you wish for, you may actually get it !" --- Modern Wise Proverb

A few days later from the day that Tao wore the girl's competitive dance dress to the Titan's baseball playoff games, Tao finds himself at home. He is engaging in some rather risky behavior. He is in his sister's bedroom, trying on Kanae's clothes. Tao has just zipped up the plaid mini-skirt, and has been silently staring at himself in the full-length mirror for quite some time now. He is wearing a white blouse with lace bordering the rounded neckline and short puff sleeves, over the blouse is a pink cami covering down to the waist, and a red / black plaid patterned mini-skirt. Tao has a frown on his face, but thinks to himself that to be complete with this outfit, he has to change out of his boy's briefs, and change into his sister's white panties. This he does. Again staring at himself in the mirror, he then covers his face with his hands, expressing horror and shame; her stretch panties fit him to a tee. After a brief time, Tao peeks out between the fingers covering his face, and resumes looking intently at himself in the mirror. Ever so slowly, he moves his hands from his face and covers his cheeks, quite a girly and feminine pose. Finally, he crouches down onto his bent knees and once again covers his face with his hands. His guilt-racked mind and his insanely overjoyed heart silently scream at him---

*"I LOOK JUST LIKE MY OWN SISTER......**AND I LIKE IT !!!***

Admitting that to himself, it burns deeply into his mind, heart, and spirit as an Absolute Truth. Tao then senses some odd, strange, very subtle feeling in his body. Like something feels a little different. Something profound. Yet, Tao's guilt/horror and fun/delight escapade soon comes to an end. He tells himself that it is getting late, and he has to hide "the evidence" before Kanae comes home. It is 7 PM already. Tao quickly removes the cami and blouse, and stashes them back where he had found them in her room. Still wearing the plaid mini-skirt, Tao reaches for a gray hoodie on the back of a chair and puts it on. Just then, he hears a creak of someone coming up the steps to the bedrooms. A deep voice calls out for 'Nozomu'. *FATHER*, of all people; he is home early ! What to do ? WHAT TO DO ???

Tao barely has enough time to scoot out of Kanae's bedroom and slam the door behind him. When Father catches sight of Tao, he is leaning against the door to his sister's bedroom, pulling down the lower edge of his hoodie as far as he can with both hands. Thankfully, Father does not notice, instead, mentions that he ran into Ide-san at the railway station, and she told me that you made the team as a 'regular'. That's great ! Tao, with an almighty effort, is trying to hold still, while 'shaking like a leaf' inside. With a squirming voice, he says that he is only the shortstop, and the team's not very good anyway. Father remarks that since you are on the team, the team can only get better. He goes on to say that he has brought home meat to make into a delicious hotpot, to celebrate Tao making the team. Got to feed you, Tao, to build up your male body and strengthen your leg muscles ! "Umm....yeah....right....", mumbles Tao, as the more that he pulls down on the hoodie in front, the more the back of the hoodie rises up to expose the back of the plaid mini-skirt. Again, Father does not notice.

Back in his own bedroom, Tao removes the mini-skirt and girl's panties, and hides them under the mattress of his bed. He then puts on his briefs, and then a pair of his sweat pants. Once again, he senses some odd, strange, very subtle feeling in his body. Like something isn't right. Like something might happen, soon. Tao ignores the feeling, as he heads on down to the dining room. At the dinner table, Kanae wonders out loud what is with all this meat ? Why do you keep spoiling my brother, Dad ? Dad says not to worry about it. Tao thinks to himself that he is supposed to become a man and make his father proud. Supposedly ! Dad offers another bowl of meat to Tao. He reluctantly takes it, thinking that growing up to be a manly man.....does something like that just happen.....or do I get to choose what happens ???

As the dinner progressed, Tao became strangely quiet. He continues to ponder to himself. What if when I grow up......what if ? Maybe I should stop "doing it" from now on (cross-dressing as a girl). A guy who likes to dress up in girl's clothing can be nothing more than just plain weird. But all the time that Ida-san was laughing and looking at me with sparkles in her eyes while I was wearing her dress the other day, I was thinking how nice it is to be seen as 'cute', and to acknowledge and show that cuteness by wearing a pretty, adorable girl's dress. Ide-san even told me that I look fabulous, just like she thought that I would. And that Titan's pitcher swore up and down that I was a girl. So pleasurable.

Dad interrupts Tao's line of thought, saying that Kouji-kun was the previous shortstop, right ? So what is Manager Ide-san going to do with him ? Tao remarks that everyone on the team looked up to him, as he is a senior in high school this year. He seems to be dating Ide-san, however. He is now in reserve, but will soon graduate and be off the team anyway. Later, when Tao is done with his meal, he gives thanks and leaves the dinner table to go to his bedroom.

Opening the door to his bedroom, Tao tells himself that is was fun pretending to be a girl. Yeah ! It was a lot of fun, but it's time to stop all that..... Late that evening, near midnight, Tao, still dressed in his sweats and hoodie, gets up from laying on the covers of his bed and heads to the bathroom. Inside, he pulls down his sweat pants to sit on the toilet. He looks at a sign that has been taped to the wall next to the toilet. The sign reads---

DON'T LEAVE THE TOILET SEAT UP ! DON'T PEE WHILE STANDING !

Fu, fu, fu ! Silly rules ! Kanae imouto-chan (lit. little sister) can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. A quirky, random thought next crosses Tao's mind. Do girls sit down like this to pee, all the time, even outdoors ? But I'm a boy, so I shouldn't ever have to do that. Tao sits for a while, but does not "go". He wonders why, since he got the signal to "go" in bed ? Absentmindedly, Tao with both his hands, reaches down to his crotch.

***"WHAT THE HELL.....WHAT'S THIS.....NOTHING......IT'S SMOOTH.....WTF....???"***
