AN: I decided to revise this story a little bit because I wasn't content with it in the least. I still have a lot of doubts about it, but bear with me. Let me quickly note that the beginning of this story will be very fast-paced – maybe the whole story will be. Also, after this chapter the author notes will be at the end of the story.

Enjoy.

Chapter 1

I was a seemingly normal day when fate took a horrible twist and messed up my life. I went to bed perfectly safe, at my own home and in my own body. But when I woke up again, everything seemed to have changed.

There was hard, cold stone underneath me, making my back ache. Groaning, I sat up, taking in my surroundings. It was dark, but I could make out some things. Wondering about the source of the light, I finally looked beneath me and shrieked. Under me was a glowing circle of some sort, with weird symbols and drawings. I scrambled away from it as fast as I could and tried to control my breathing. Then I noticed my breathing somehow didn't sound as it would normally do. And that shriek I had let out had been different too. I let out a small sound, which confirmed my suspicions and made me clamp my mouth shut in horror. My voice... It was totally different than before! Eyeing the still glowing circle I raised my hands and slowly let my gaze drop to them. My breath hitched. These weren't my hands! They had long slender fingers and a porcelain doll look. My own hands had a different build and were more tanned. I tried my new hands out, touching the stone beneath me. Tears welled up in my eyes when I suddenly was overwhelmed with a feeling that was lurking there before, but only now got my full attention. It was like I could feel a substance moving through my body. And that substance reacted to the stone floor. Now that I was paying attention to it, it seemed to react to everything.

Later I discovered that this substance was in fact chakra. It coursed through my body like blood, finding its way into my every body part. For somebody who never ever had any chakra, it was too much. I fainted on the spot. Not in a way I always imagined fainting would feel like; falling down with a slight scream or sigh and then darkness. No, I remember a slight aching in my eyes, a concentration of the substance in that place. Then my vision disoriented and I saw things I only later would understand. After that, the blackness overwhelmed me and I passed out.

When I woke up for the second time, I found out that I was still in the same place, to my horror. The circle was still glowing and I still felt myself and my surroundings in a way I didn't ever think was possible. I quickly went to investigate my own body, because one thing I knew, this wasn't the body I was supposed to have. Not spotting a mirror in the small space I was residing in, I decided to at least get an idea by touching my face. My hands felt cool to my warm cheeks. I quickly discovered my head was smaller and had a different shape to it than it used to have. My eyes too, somehow didn't feel like they had the shape they were supposed to have. My lips were smaller, the same went for my nose and ears. And my hair was softer and longer than it ever was before. I always thought I would squeal in delight if I finally got my hair at this length, but now that was the last thing on my mind. I let my hands fall to the ground and stared in front of me.

So what did I knew? One, I was in another body, but I could feel everything like the body was my own. Two, I was in a square-like place, with a low roof that was, like the ground, made of stone. In the middle of the room was a freakishly glowing symbol that I didn't even dare to inspect. Besides that, there seemed to be some kind of altar, with scrolls on it. And on the other side of the room a dark hole. Three, I definitely wasn't home.
