Chapter Title - Getting My Wife Back
.....
*Adrian POV*
'Eh?'
The moment I opened my eyes I was met with a pair of violet eyes that were staring at me with an intensity that I was used to.
Although it was different from the dark orbs I was familiar with.
I noticed that I had somehow ended up in her lap with her cradling my head gently while a mischievous glint passed through her eyes.
"It feels a bit strange.." I broke the silence with an awkward cough as I broke eye contact with her.
"What is ~" Kwanon whispered as she leaned down until her face was a few inches from mine and her purple hair was falling around me like a curtain.
" I was so used to your original appearance that seeing you in her body feels a bit strange…" I tried to not stare as , even though Betsy and Kwanon looked slightly similar with Betsy looking like a British cousin to Kwanon , there was one thing that was different from Kwanon… Betsy's tits were bigger, not that Kwanon was small.. but Betsy's was a size larger. { It's like the different versions of Moist critical, arab , brazilian , black … they all have a similar vibe .. kind of like that , a look alike of a different race }
Kwanon caught my stare as her eyes narrowed while her lips quirked up slightly.
"And… who do you prefer more…" Kwanon asked with a barely concealed smile, making me feel awkward as she had caught me staring. I can't even use the argument of staring at my girlfriend since it's technically not her body.
"Of course it's you…"

[ Help Kwanon Sai regain her body back ]
[ Reward: Duh..]
"Dear? " Kwanon's concerned voice brought me out my thoughts as I already could think of a way to get her body back quite easily.
" Let's get your body back…" I smiled at Kwanon who was confused by my sudden words.
"Eh?"
...
"Did we really have to?" My lips twitched a bit as I watched the burning shrine which had the dead old lady and that Kirigi guy who Kwanon decapitated because he wasn't dead yet , just knocked unconscious.
"Yes… if their bodies exist then the Hand would just bring them back… That old bat might not be the strongest but she is shrewd and I would prefer it if she stayed dead and Kirigi is Hand's strongest assassin, losing him would make them lay low for a while."
"But they will come… sooner or later… " My jaw tightened as I held Kwanon's hand softly.. as she squeezed my hand reassuringly.
No matter what happened we would face it together, and unlike that cuck and the obsessed old fuck , I would never abandon her…..
…..
*Kwanon POV*
I turned my gaze from the passing scenery to Adrian as I was a bit dazed by his side profile.
Not because he was good looking… well I know he was good looking, I have long since been used to his appearance.
I couldn't prevent my cheeks from heating up a bit due to the influx of memories as I remembered how hard we tried to have a baby.
But I shook the messy thoughts away as I had glimpsed into Adrian's memories when I had gotten the backlash from attacking him.
And I knew Adrian still blamed himself for his caretaker's death , who was akin to a mother to him.
Knowing how much love and trust Adrian gave to the ones he cared for, I couldn't help but be pissed at that 'skank' for hurting him.
But other than that I could see that he held affections for multiple women … and most of them were leaning towards more than familial or just friendship.
But I wasn't scared that Adrian would leave me or cheat on me , I knew what kind of person he was.
But this has been on my mind since I woke up… I knew being with me would inconvenience a lot of relationships for Adrian … and it bothered me… despite what he said or believed … I still believed I wasn't worth it… Adrian was too good for someone like me… bathed in blood and covered in filth….
…..
" S-She is here ? " My voice trembled a bit as I was feeling nervous about meeting Betsy who was in my body.
There was a time when I felt disgusted with her , and I despised her for her memories as her memories only made me feel more miserable.
It was the memory of someone who had the complete opposite experience as me , she made me hate myself more and in turn I hated her.
But now other than slight bitterness there were no further negative emotions.
But deep down I had this thought that being in Betsy's body was better as she wasn't filthy like me , and other than my memories this body was pure.
But Adrian had seen through my thoughts when he had talked about getting me my body back.
'The person I love is Kwanon not Betsy' He had said those words leaving me without any refute.
"Kwanon…" I heard his concerned tone making me feel sweet and warm.
"Jeez~ I get it , I won't run away… I'll face her…" I pouted at him as I felt like I was being underestimated.
I held his hand tighter as we took a step towards the entrance of Xavier's school ….
….
*Adrian POV*
I was taking a walk through the premises of the school as I had left Kwanon and Betsy to deal with each other since it seemed like they had things to sort out.
My first concern was Kwanon throwing hands with Betsy the moment she saw her , as I was aware about the bad feelings she had towards the latter.
But my concerns were for naught as Kwanon was far more mature and calm than a certain someone I was used to.
Damn… I really should stop comparing everyone with 'her'... But letting go is harder than I thought , but now it would be fine since I had Kwanon…
...
I was sitting on a park bench as I was enjoying the calm and peaceful scenery of the large pond and the garden.
"Lord Noir!" I heard an excited tone as I turned my gaze towards the source of the noise as I saw two girls , one looking like she might have a heart attack or just pass out from excitement while the other had an uncomfortable expression as she held the side of her arm.
My gaze moved over from the excited one to the uncomfortable one as I stared at her for a few moments as she too seemed to be staring at me.
Her appearance was too familiar to me , it was like I had seen her somewhere then my gaze traced her lips as my eyes widened for a bit.
" Ghost? " I blurted out as this was definitely Rogue because I remember those lips of hers.
"H-Hey.." Rogue waved her hand weakly with an awkward air around her making me confused as she gave me the vibe of a depressed loner… Far from the Ghost I was used to.
"Eh ? You know Lord Noir! " The girl beside Rogue exclaimed as she alternated her gaze between the two of us.
Well since it was Rogue's friend then it shouldn't be that big of a deal as I was about to remove my mask Rogue suddenly shouted at me in exasperation.
"Kitty has a loose mouth!" My hand paused mid motion as I gazed at Rogue who flushed visible to the naked eye as she crossed her arms under her chest hugging herself as if she felt uncomfortable.
My gaze moved over to Kitty who seemed appalled by Rogue's words as she clutched her chest while gazing at her in outrage.
" Are you the same Kitty ? " I asked for confirmation as Kitty whipped her head towards me while she clutched her chest with a flushed face.
"Lord Noir knows me…" Kitty fell back onto the grass with a silly smile making my lips twitch as I turned my gaze towards Rogue who seemed both embarrassed and amused.
I removed my mask as I smiled at Rogue who too smiled at me , even if it felt slightly awkward she was still the same Ghost I have known for 2 years.
I patted the place beside me as she walked over to sit beside me….
….
" I am glad that you are okay … I was really worried when I saw you get injured…" Rogue sniffled slightly as I reached over to pull her into a side hug as she enclosed her arms around my waist.
{ A.N: I genuinely forgot about her power while writing this my bad just think of it as her clothes stopping the contact}
"Thanks for worrying about me…" I couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude well up in me as I gently rubbed her shoulder.
I had people like her who cared about me , making me feel more alive….
…..
As goofy as Kitty was she was pretty considerate since she never bothered me and Rogue and just laid on the grass.
I could sense a hint of jealousy from Rogue when I talked about Kwanon, but there was simply nothing I could do. { Sorry Gambit… but you ain't getting the goth baddie🦆 }
I liked Rogue … I really did… But more than that , I loved Kwanon , and I would never betray her trust….
…..
I sensed footsteps behind me and I turned around and gazed at the source as I saw Kwanon( Betsy) and Betsy ( Kwanon ).
My gaze moved to Betsy who was in Kwanon's body as she was gazing at me with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Dear~ we are done.." Kwanon came over to me while she smiled politely at Rogue who just awkwardly smiled back as she got up and moved towards Kitty , pulling the hyper active girl up and leaving. She knew the conversation about to take place was not for them….
...
I could see Betsy's sour expression watching Kwanon flirt with me using her body.
I knew Kwanon was doing this on purpose to annoy Betsy , it seems Kwanon also had some pettiness in her.
" Kwanon… let's just get this over with… " Kwanon just smiled at my exasperation while Betsy perked up as I could see that she was still skeptical about my claim to help them….
…..
*3rd Person POV*
Adrian pulled out the soul swap card from his inventory as he had never imagined that such a useless item would come in clutch at a time like this.
He just hoped it would work like the description said it would.
Although the system reassured him countless times, he was still a bit worried since he didn't want anything happening to Kwanon.
He didn't know what he would do if he brought harm to her…
….
Betsy was surprised to see Adrian pull a card out of thin air but she still maintained her composure.
She saw him hand the card to Kwanon as the card broke into light particles in her hands.
Betsy suddenly gasped as she felt an uncomfortable tug on her whole being as her vision darkened as she crumbled to the ground only for Adrian to quickly hold her in his other arm as he set both of them down gently….
…..
Betsy's eyelids fluttered as she woke up with a gasp.
She touched her face and glanced at her hand which was the one she was used to all her life.
She glanced at her purple hair and a sense of relief overcame her, but her ears twitched at a slightly wet noise beside her as she turned to the source only to be dumbfounded as she gazed at Kwanon and Adrian furiously making our as the two shameless people hugged each other tightly like it might the last day of their lives.
Betsy was a calm and collected person who doesn't get flustered that easily, but when she swapped bodies back with Kwanon she inherited a lot of memories from Kwanon , and unlike her uneventful life with the X men Kwanon over here had the memories from her mindscape along with the her memories of Adrian making Betsy have complicated feelings towards him.
She lived through everything Kwanon did with Adrian making her angry and flustered as she now has feelings that weren't her own.
And watching Kwanon make out with Adrian made her feel jealous even when she knew it was the aftermath of the body switch.
But the good thing was that the influence would vanish after some time as it wasn't permanent. ( Like how Rogue feels when she absorbs power something like that )
But still this feeling made her very uncomfortable and watching these two go at it made her body feel tingly… which was a surprising thing because she was very disciplined and rarely felt any lust.
Betsy covered ears and turned around as she didn't want to see these two… and she was too embarrassed to stop them… that was what she convinced herself as she took subtle peeks from time to time….
...
Few days later…
...
Adrian and Kwanon sat beside each other as an awkward atmosphere permeated the living room as Emma sat opposite them while scrutinizing the two of them.
Emma narrowed her eyes as she gazed at Kwanon for a few moments before letting out a relieved sigh.
"At least it's not a blonde…"
