A/N: This chapter reveals the curses that Mikuru, Yuki and Itsuki have... unless you read my blog and already found out what they are that is... enjoy!

Chapter 2: Changes and Curses

Haruhi and Kyon stood in front of the class strike that Haruhiko and Kyonko as Haruhi dubbed their alternate gender forms, stood in front of the class.

"Due to a bizarre curse that both received in China the two switch gender due to water temperature." Said Okabe, "I think they should explain everything."

"It all happened like this." Sighed Kyonko.

(Flashback)

Haruhi got in closer to see the cliff.

"So… are they really cursed?" asked Kyon.

"I can not say, there is something strange about this area." Said Yuki.

"What do you mean?" asked Kyon.

"There is something blocking the Integrated Data Entity from analyzing this area." Said Yuki.

That one sentence made everyone concerned.

"Mikuru…" said Kyon.

"It's classified." Said Mikuru.

That was when both Itsuki and Kyon became concerned. Something was going to happen that day, and there was no control of it.

Haruhi was looking over a cliff, unaware what her… well minions were talking when the cliff was crumbling beneath her. They noticed this right away, Kyon and Yuki managed to catch her before she fell.

"Thanks." Said Haruhi relieved.

"Don't worry, we'll always be there for you." Said Kyon.

Mikuru and Itsuki helped them get Haruhi back onto the cliff.

Unfortunately this touching scene was quickly smashed when the cliff broke apart beneath their feet sending them tumbling to below.

Beneath them were the Springs of Jusenkyo, each of them tumbled into a different spring.

While under the water, she felt her body shift somehow, grow and something change in her lower region. She managed to get out of the water.

"What happened." she asked her self, she noticed her voice was different.

She looked down and noticed… her breasts were missing. She began to shake and she checked her lower regions.

That was when she knew… she was now a he!

Of course she… he screamed.

"This can't be happening… this can't be happening." He told himself.

He crawled out of the spring and began to look for the others, unsure if she would find them. As he looked around he came across a young girl who looked to be her age, but shorter and smaller. She looked to be a little confused, but other than that fine. Haru walked over to the girl.

"Hey!" he said, "Do you speak Japanese?"

"Yeah, I do." Said the girl.

That was the two looked at each others clothes.

"Wait a second…" said Haruhi.

"That must mean." Said the girl.

"Kyon?" asked Haruhi.

"Haruhi?" asked the girl.

The two stared at each other a few minutes.

"We have to find the others." Said Kyon.

"Hmm… they probably switched genders like us." Said Haruhi, "If my theory is correct, Mikuru will look like a Jr. High School student."

"Can't you take this seriously… I mean, we switched genders." Said Kyon.

That was when Kyon felt something tug on her pants leg, she looked down and saw a small rabbit, both its fur color and look in it eyes looked very familiar. So she picked it up.

"Its a rabbit." Said Haruhi.

"Mikuru." Said Kyon.

The rabbit nodded, yes, the rabbit was Mikuru.

There was another silence.

"I think things just got more complicated." Said Kyon.

The three began to look around. Hopping to find the other two.

"Koizumi!" shouted Kyon.

"Yuki!" shouted Haruhi.

That was when a fox ran towards them. He had sand brown fur… and appeared to be smiling.

"Koizumi?" asked Haruhi.

The fox nodded.

"All right! All need to find is Yuki." Said Haruhi.

They looked around, that was when they saw Yuki, sitting by the shore of one of the springs shivering.

"Yuki!" shouted Haruhi.

Yuki looked up, "Who… who are you?" she asked.

The four of them looked at Yuki, her expression and body language was different.

"Nagato, it's us… me and Haruhi somehow switched genders." Said Kyon.

Yuki looked at them.

"Kyon?" she asked.

"Okay, this is weird." Said Haruhi, "We and Kyon switched genders, Mikuru and Koizumi are now animals and Yuki's now Moe."

"I don't think that last one is one is a good way t put it." Said Kyon.

"How you put it?" asked Haruhi.

"A personality change." Said Kyon.

"Fine… let's go with that." Said Haruhi.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" yelled a voice.

They turned to see an old fat man wearing a military uniform.

"It's dangerous to be here!" said the old man, "You wind up cursed!"

They looked at the man, and he noticed the animals, the clothes two of them seemed to be wearing were… well… should not be worn by them.

"Too late?" he asked.

"Too late." Affirmed both Kyon and Haruhi.

He took them to his hut and began to explain about the curses.

"So we're not stuck this way?" asked Haruhi.

"No…" said the man, known only as the guide.

He poured hot water on Haruhi, Kyon and Yuki, turning them back to normal.

"Why didn't you turn them back?" asked Haruhi.

"They turn back later after I fetch clothes from spring, unless they want to be naked." Said the guide.

Mikuru blushed, when he said that.

"So I guess we're back to normal then." Said Haruhi.

"No you not." Said the guide.

He poured a bucket of water on Haruhi, turning her back into a boy.

"Person take form of whatever drown in spring. You fall into spring of drowned man." Said the Guide, "And they fall into Spring of Drowned Girl, Spring of Drowned Fox, Spring of Drowned Rabbit and Spring of Drowned Shy Quiet Girl."

"Spring of Drowned Shy Quiet Girl?" asked Kyon.

"Sad story of a nice shy quiet who drowned there 10 year ago… she was such a nice girl too." Said the Guide, "Now whoever falls in because shy and quiet too."

"I see." Said Kyon.

(End of Flashback)

"And so after he got Mikuru and Koizumi's things from the springs we took a hike back to the Hotel." Explained Kyonko.

"I also gave our cursed forms the names of Kyonko and Haruhiko!" said Haruhiko.

The class was silent, those that knew Haruhi from Jr. High were unsure what to say. Some of them were actually thinking "I should have known something like this would happen one day."

"If you want to ask questions you can." Sighed Kyonko.

"Can we play with your curses?" asked a girl.

"No!" yelled both of them.

Many of their classmates moaned.

After a few questions (which ended when Taniguchi asked Kyonko about her bust size).

The Teachers decided to call study hall to let the students adjust to the changes involving their classmates… that and to try to stop the geyser outside.

"Hey Kyonko." Said Taniguchi.

"I don't think I want to talk to you for a while." Said Kyonko, "And please don't call me that."

"What did I do to you?" asked Taniguchi.

"You made a comment about her bust size." Said Kunikida, he sat next to Kyonko, "You know what… I don't know why but that story sounds vaguely familiar."

"Really?" asked Kyonko.

"I'm sure I heard a story just like it before." Said Kunikida.

"Really?" asked Kyonko.

"I'll ask my dad about it." Said Kunikida.

That afternoon after school, two with the gender swapping cursed turned back to normal.

Kyon went to the Clubroom, he knocked on the door.

"Come in." came Yuki's voice.

He opened the door to find Yuki. He could tell from her expression that she was in her cursed form. Not only that but for some reason she was wearing those glasses again.

"What's with the glasses?" asked Kyon.

"I thought it would be a good idea whenever I'm in my cursed form I wear these." Said Yuki blushing a little.

Kyon sighed. He began to remember the conversation they had when they had gotten back to the hotel…

(Flashback)

Yuki had gathered the other three to talk about something she discovered about her cursed form.

"Whenever I'm in my cursed form, I'm human." explained Yuki.

"What?" asked Kyon.

"Your serious." Said Itsuki.

Yuki nodded.

"This could cause problems." Said Itsuki.

"Mikuru, please tell me that there is a way to reserve any of the curses." Said Kyon.

"I'm sorry, that's classified." Said Mikuru.

"Usually I would say Ms. Suzumiya is behind it." Said Itsuki, "However the fact that she herself is cursed leaves me to think that this has nothing to with what she was hoping for."

"You don't think she was the cause for this?" asked Kyon.

"No, I don't." said Itsuki, "Though I could be wrong."

Kyon sighed and said something they all had to agree with, "Nothing is going to be the same."

(End of Flashback)

Haruhi entered the room and began to look on the computer.

"I'm going to try to find out what the High School is." Said Haruhi, "That Principal is hiding something."

Kyon sighed when she did this.

Later that evening, Kyon got home to find his sister on the phone.

"Oh he's here right now." Said his sister.

She gave the phone to him, "It's Mr. Kunikida." She said happily.

"Hello?" asked Kyon.

"Oh hey Kyon." Said Mr. Kunikida (obviously Kunikida's father).

"You're calling me that too?" he asked.

"I was wondering if it was true?" asked Mr. Kunikida, "That when you went to China you went to Jusenkyo?"

"It's true, why do you ask?" asked Kyon.

"I want to meet your club at a café tomorrow after school. I might be able help in some ways. But not getting a cure… just helping you deal with it." Said Mr. Kunikida on the other end.

"Really?" asked Kyon surprised, "How do you know even know about Jusenkyo?"

"It's a long story." Sighed Mr. Kunikida on the other end.

The two agreed where to meet (which happened to be at that café they went to often).

The next day, he got the rest of the Brigade to come and meet with Mr. Kunikida. When they got into the café, they has a man in his early 40s wave at them.

"There he is." Said Kyon.

They all saw at the table and got to it.

"Wait, I want to see if it's true." Said Mr. Kunikida.

He took the cup of water and splashed Kyon.

"So it is true." Said Mr. Kunikida, "And I was right… it doesn't atomically give you big breast size."

"What was that?" asked Kyonko.

"Nothing… just an argument I had with a friends years ago…" said Mr. Kunikida.

They all sat down.

"It's nice to finally meet you, I actually went to see you guys plays in that baseball tournament." Said Mr. Kunikida, "You did so good. It's a shame you had to forfeit."

"I didn't know that Mr. Kunikida." Said Haruhi.

"Please, call me Hiroshi." Said Mr. Kunikida, err… Hiroshi.

"So how do you know about Jusenkyo?" asked Kyonko.

"Well you see, back in High School…" said Hiroshi, "It's hard to explain."

"What do you mean?" asked Haruhi.

"When I was freshmen, there was a boy who transferred into my class named Ranma and he was a chaos magnet. Almost everything crazy was something he caused directly or indirectly. I've seen stuff that you not believe." Said Hiroshi, "We were friends, in fact we still are. Even if the insanity he caused made me leave Tokyo."

"But what does that have to with anything?" asked Haruhi.

"One of Ranma many problems was his curse." Said Hiroshi, "When he was young he went on a training trip with his father to China and wound up Jusenkyo. He actually has the same curse you have Kyon."

"Really?" asked Kyonko.

"I actually met a few others in fact. Almost everyone in school knew Ranma had that curse." Said Hiroshi, "Expect for Kuno… he never figured that one out."

They all stared at them.

"Sorry about that, just thinking about old time." He said, "I thinking that I give him a call and see if you can meet him. He never cured his curse and he's has since high school."

"Sure." Said Kyonko.

"Wait I have a question." Said Haruhi, "Did you go the school where the students revolted against the principal?"

"Yeah, that was my school." Said Hiroshi, "I wish was there, especially with Ms. Ninomiya what I heard about Ms. Ninomiya entering puberty."

"I don't know what you're talking about, nor do I want to." Said Kyonko.

"What was your school called?" asked Haruhi.

"Oh Furinkan High." Said Hiroshi, who suddenly had gotten a bad feeling, "I shouldn't have said that name..."

"I don't think anything wrong can come from it." Said Itsuki.

"Okay, I'll give him a call and see if you guys can meet." Said Hiroshi.

The next day, Kunikida gave Kyon a note that said that Ranma wanted to meet him during the weekend in Tokyo.

"Thanks." Said Kyon.

"I'm surprised my dad can help." Said Kunikida.

Kyon got to the clubroom to find Haruhi laughing maniacally at the computer.

"This is a goldmine, tornados, ghost cats, teachers who can suck life force. This is perfect! I have to meet this guy!" laughed Haruhi.

"You are aware, we're supposed to be meeting him to help us with dealing with our curses? Right?" asked Kyon.

Haruhi paid no attention, after all with was going on it was too perfect… then again she was cursed, so it wasn't perfect. But still she was going to meet the type of person she always wanted to meet, someone who lived a very interesting life. Even if turned out that all he wanted was a completely normal life.

Next Time: The S.O.S. Brigade goes to Tokyo to meet Ranma, while he has a great life with a great family... he does not want to talk about his high school years... what more is that his advice isn't... very good... hey at least his wife and mother are nice enough to help them with some things.
