Hi peeps! This is my second story. I'm guessing since there's not many Itazura na Kiss fan fictions that not many people have seen/read it. Watch it! I really liked it. Okay so this is going to be kind of short since its just a little something I wanted to do in my spare time.

Disclaimer:

Kukai Utau Ramen: Yuuki!

Yuuki: Ramen-san doesn't own Itazura na Kiss. Can I go now?

Kukai Utau Ramen: That's it? Yuuki you're so mean.

Yuuki: It's just a disclaimer. Onii-san was going to play basketball with me until you decided to take me for this stupid disclaimer thing.

Kukai Utau Ramen: But you're the first one to do it! You should feel special.

Yuuki: Okasan can I go now?

Irie's mom: No you have to finish the disclaimer.

Kukai Utau Ramen: You can go Yuuki…(gloom)

How to Understand Your Partner (Kiss Version) Chapter 1

"Kotoko," Irie said, "You can't keep touching every single thing you see. This hospital is not a play house. People's lives are at stake."

"Yes, but the fire alarm was telling me to push it!" Kotoko complained.

Naoki sighed. No matter what he did Kotoko would always be an irresponsible adult. It was just part of her character. Kotomi was starting to act more mature than her now that she was a fifth grader.

"Irie-kun, what's that?" Kotoko asked her husband.

"It's a machine we're testing. I'm not quite sure what it does, but Dad's toy company told the kids at the hospital to play with it." he said.

"I want to try!" Kotoko screamed.

"Wait!" Naoki yelled.

It was too late. Kotoko had already pressed the bright green "go" button. For a few moments, the machine did nothing, but the Naoki and Kotoko were swallowed into a bright swirl of colors.

"Great, look what you did!" Irie-kun complained.

"Gomen asai," Kotoko apologized, "Is this all the machine does? I guess I didn't mess up that much after a-"

A bright light cut her off. Kotoko found herself in class A, and Naoki

found himself in class F.

"What am I doing in Irie-kun's high school classroom?" Kotoko thought, "I'm not a braniac!"

"Ugh, I'm in Kotoko's seat in class F," Irie thought, "And after I told her not to touch anything. Look what she's done."

In class A, Kotoko was surprised to find that she knew all the knowledge that she knew all that Irie knew. Naoki knew everything Kotoko knew which isn't much. The only useful thing he knew was that Kotoko probably had his mind. Kotoko looked like she would as a boy, and Naoki looked like he would as a girl. He went to his backpack and found a letter addressed to Aihara Kotoko-san.

"So we're at this time," he (now a she) thought with a smirk, "Well for fun, I'll play along."

Before he knew it, Kinnosuke appeared in front of him.

"Naoki-san," Kinnosuke said, "Can I come to your house later?"

Naoki said a blunt, "No."

And that was the end of the conversation. Irie-kun went to find Kotoko who was taking to his best friend.

"Um, could you please except this," he begged doing his best impression of Kotoko.

She could tell he was slightly mocking her and decided to play along.

"I don't want it," she said bluntly trying to hide her smile of delight.

Naoki didn't know that afterward Kotoko was talked about for having the guts to talk to Aihara Kotoko, the smartest person in school. He was slightly embarrassed and tried to keep his composure. But just like Kotoko did, he blew up. He was about to sit where he usually sat at lunch but then realized it was filled with smart people that wouldn't except him after he had become "dumb". He saw Kotoko enjoying her time with the smart people but soon saw she felt slightly out of place. Irie decided to be a loner and not sit with Kotoko's friends.

On his way home, the name plate on his house now read Aihara instead of Irie. He went inside Kotoko's old place and saw his Dad and friends.

"Welcome home Irie-san!" said Jinko, "We wanted to surprise you!"

"Hi Naoki-san! Maybe I could live here someday!" Kinnosuke said.

Naoki shivered at the thought. Then came the (level two) earthquake.

"This looks like a big one!" Satomi screamed as she led Irie-kun out of the collapsing house.

Irie-kun and his dad stayed at the restaurant that was now his dad's.

On Kotoko's side of the story, her (or now his) dad and mom were there. Her mom was now the crazy one. She had a little brother named Yuuki. Kotoko remembered that tonight was the night the house came down from a (level two) earthquake. The pain of seeing her house come to pieces was just depressing. She was wondering what Irie-kun was feeling. They both found the other person's life to be more difficult than the other made it appear. Kotoko had suffered through so much but chose not to show it. Naoki had the weight of the world on his shoulders because everyone's expectation for him were so high. Each person got to experience each other's pain. Naoki was starting to realize why Kotoko was so childish, and Kotoko started to see why Naoki was so cold.

The next day, they went through the whole routine of school. Kinnosuke was collecting donations for Naoki.

"Kinnosuke stop this!" Irie-kun demanded.

"But I'm helping you!" he replied, "You."

Kotoko walked by. She wasn't used to Kinnosuke treating her so meanly.

"You rejected the letter Naoki put his heart into making," he accused.

"Are you blaming me for the earthquake?" Kotoko asked.

"Yes!" Kinnosuke said.

"Fine, I'll donate to your little fund," Kotoko said impersonating how Irie-kun said it as best as possible while pulling two hundred yen out of her wallet. Naoki slapped it out of her hand and tried to fake cry.

"I don't want your sympathy!" he said.

"I did not cry like that!" Kotoko thought.

She walked off to class A.

Kotoko found Irie-kun at her door step with his mom that night. His parents went through the whole greeting.

"Aren't you two in the same grade in the same school?" Kotoko's dad asked.

"Yeah but our classrooms are rather far apart," Kotoko mocked while enjoying the moment.

"Ah Yuuki!" Kotoko's dad said, "This is Irie Naoki. He'll be staying with us for the moment."

"Could you help me with my homework?" Yuuki asked.

"Uh…" Naoki said gleaming with excitement, "I don't know."

Kotoko noticed and knew what would come next.

"Baka!" Yuuki said, "This is fifth grade stuff!"

Kotoko got angry. He was making fun of her.

Kotoko's mom showed Naoki to his room.

"If you need anything ask Kotoko!" her dad gleamed, "Help Naoki unpack!"

Kotoko walked into the room.

"So we switched places," Naoki said, "Not only that but we have swapped genders."

"Yeah and I do not cry like that!" Kotoko complained.

"Oh yeah? Well I don't smile that often!" Irie-kun said.

"When you think we'll get back?" she asked, "Not that I don't like having your brains. It's just not normal."

"Well I hope to find a way out as soon as possible," he said, "I don't enjoy being a stupid girl."

"Hey!" Kotoko said, "Fine, then I won't help you with your midterms."

"I'll find a way to bring you to do it out of embarrassment," he said.

"Well good night," Kotoko said, "And don't cramp my lifestyle."

She closed the door. Irie-kun smirked. She had just copied what he said to her that night. They went to sleep in their new beds but now for long. A big swirl of lights came around them. It dropped them in a new area of their past lives.

Well that's the end of this chapter! I hope you enjoyed it. I made the he's and she's the same because I thought it would be less confusing. But Kotoko is now a boy and Naoki is now a girl. I just thought it would be cool to have a dumb Irie and a smart Kotoko. I changed it in the middle, so there may be some typo's. Please review!
