For the next three days, I decided to skip school and investigate the new mysterious body.

At first, I was flustered and scared about this unbelievable situation

Should I call the police?

Should I tell Zeref about this?

What am I supposed to do about this?

I slowly crept over to my sleeping male body and started to examine my own face.

'What if... I were to slap him again?' I thought as I held my hand up.

Like I thought, my female body fainted and my consciousness was back to my male body.

Ugh. My right cheek really hurt because of the slap.

Rubbing my sore cheeks, I glanced at the female body unconscious on the floor.

I didn't want to accept it but one thing was sure.

If I fall asleep in one body, I wake up in the other body.

But I still needed more information...

After three days of examining, I realized several facts.

First, If I decided to sleep with the body I was conscious with, I would wake up in the other body. Furthermore, if I forced my other body to wake up, then my current body was forced to sleep.

Also, both my bodies stimulate like normal human beings. They both feel individual hunger, pain, and drowsiness.

For example, If I were to be awake for 24 hours, then it wouldn't be healthy for my other body since it slept for 24 hours. I needed to feed both of my bodies and give them both equal amount of rests.

I let out a sigh.

Guess I'll have to shift from one body to another in 12 hours. That way, both bodies can get a rest. But this meant, I had to use twice the pocket money Zeref gave me on both of the bodies...

It was currently 8 pm and I was currently conscious in my female body. Since I have school tomorrow, I decided to let my male body get enough rest.

But what was I going to do for the next 12 hours in my female body...?

And thus, I ended up in the middle of the busy streets in Shibuya.

There was nothing to do at home so I decided to get some fresh air with my new body.

Maybe I should get some female clothes for my new body...since all I have are male clothes.

Wearing my white hooded Jacket, and long black baggy trousers, I started to walk down the street.

Even though it was night, Shibuya was still busy and crowded. No wonder people call Shibuya the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world.

As I squished myself in the busy crowd, I accidentally tripped on someone's foot and fell to the floor.

"Ow." I grumbled.

Just great. My trousers were ripped and my knees were scraped.

"Are you okay?" A man said, holding his hand out. "Sorry, that was my bad."

"Yeah, I'm fine." I grumbled, as I looked up. "Be careful next ti"

I couldn't finish my words as I was flabbergasted by who I bumped into.

There, in front of me, was Gray Fullbuster, the last person I wanted to see in the middle of Shibuya.

Even he looked speechless.

"Natsu?" He said, softly.

Oh god. Did he recognize who I was already? This was going to be a problem.

"Wait no." Gray said meekly, scratching his head. "Natsu can't be a girl... What am I thinking?"

I let out a deep sigh.

Thank god. It would've been a problem if Gray found out who I was.

Brushing the dust off, and ignoring his hand, I stood up with a smile. "Don't worry about it. Just be careful next time."

I needed to get out of here. Quick.

Desperate to get out of the situation, I decided to quickly walk away.

"Wait." He said, holding onto my arm.

"Huh?"

Ugh. Now what.

"Your knees are scrapped because of me." He said with a sigh. "Just come with me."

"No. There's no need for you to..."

But Gray ignored me and started to drag me away from the busy streets.

And of course, the place he dragged me to was the pharmacy.

"There we go." Gray said with a soft smile as he placed a plaster on my right knee.

I examined his face as he started to rip another plaster out.

Usually Gray's face was cold and mean. But today, his expression was soft and calm...

I never knew Gray could make a face like that...

"Hm? Is there something on my face?" Gray asked, looking up at me.

"Yes. I mean er... no." I mumbled, quickly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Say..." Gray started. "Do you perhaps have a brother?"

"Brother?" I shook my head.

Well, I did have Zeref. But as a girl, I was going to pretend to be an only child.

"No, I don't." I told him.

"Hmm." Gray mumbled, examining my face.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No... you just look really alike with someone I know."

"Oh.. haha." I let out an awkward laugh. "What a surprise. I bet that person's very handsome... I mean pretty like me."

"He sure is." Gray said with a cute smile.

Oh.

I didn't know Gray thought about me like that...

I always thought he thought of me as a pest...

I could feel myself burning up.

"All done." He said with a grin, putting the last plaster on my knee.

Yes.

Finally.

I was getting really nervous and awkward with this guy.

"Hey, thanks for the plaster." I said, forcing a smile. "Now if you'll excuse me..."

"Can I have your number?" Gray said, cutting me off.

"Huh? Number?"

Did Gray just ask for my number?

Is he hitting on me?

"Oh, I'm really sorry... But... I don't have a cellphone anymore." I said, awkwardly. "I just broke it..uh... today at school."

Wow. Great lie Natsu.

Of course he's not going to fall for that.

"Hm. That's a shame." Gray said with a shrug. He face was emotionless but I knew he sounded disappointed. "Then do you mind meeting up with me in front of this pharmacy at 8 pm tomorrow?"

I stared at Gray with a puzzled look.

"Wh...why? Is there a reason for me to meet up with you?"

"Not really." He answered bluntly.

Not really? Then why do you even bother asking?

"But..." He continued, scratching his head shyly. "I'll be waiting for you until you come."

For a second, I thought my heart stopped beating.

I could feel myself turning pink.

Whoa. Gray did have an unexpected cute side. He's blushing... how cute.

'No Natsu. Get your self back together.' I thought as I slapped myself. 'This is probably Gray's pickup line to every girl.'

'Too bad Gray.' I thought smugly. 'But that trick won't work on me.'

Cause I won't show up at all tomorrow.

The next day

As soon as I opened the classroom door, everybody stopped talking and stared at me.

"What?" I said bluntly.

I was back to my male body and I sure felt energetic after that 12 hour sleep.

"Bro." Jet and Droy called out to me excitedly, breaking the mood of the quiet classroom as they both ran up to me. "I thought you were dead."

"Dead?" I snorted. "From what."

"You were absent for 3 days." Droy explained. "We thought Gray tracked you down and beaten you up to death."

"Beaten me to death? For what?"

"Bumping into him." Both Jet and Droy said at the same time.

I sighed and shook my head. "I was just absent because things happened. Besides, you guys are taking things too seriously. Gray's not the type to beat up someone."

I mean, if he was. I'd be beaten up to death twice since I bumped into him as a guy and tripped over him as a girl...

Both Jet and Droy shook their heads and pointed outside the corridor.

I turned my head towards the direction they were pointing at.

"Wa...wait. I wasn't looking straight." I heard a trembling voice.

There, I saw Bora on the floor with Gray cracking his knuckles.

"Sucks. Poor Bora had to bump into the ice devil out of all people." Jet let out a sigh as he shook his head. "Worse, he spilled coffee all over his uniform."

"Like I said, you guys." I cut them off with a groan. "Gray's not the type to-"

"Pl...please. I..I ca..n't br..breathe.." I heard Bora, gasping for air on the floor.

"Huh?"

Gray, unlike from yesterday night, had the meanest look on his face as he grabbed Bora by the neck and started to suffocate him.

There was a huge crowd formed around them, but instead of helping poor Bora, everyone had their phone out and started to record the whole thing. Even worse, they started to cheer for him.

"You go Gray." One of the girls cheered. "Teach that guy not to mess with you."

"Gray. Your expression is sexier than ever."

I was horrified.

That person out there... was Gray? The same sweet guy from yesterday?

Even the teachers didn't do anything about it as they ignored the situation and walked away.

"We have to help Bora." I exclaimed immediately. "The poor guy is going to die."

But both Jet and Droy stopped me as they grabbed me by the shoulders.

"You idiot." They hissed. "Do you have a death wish? Just shut up and know your place. Gray is the carnivore of this school. The rest of us are herbivores. No one should mess with Gray and his pride."

I could feel myself trembling.

Pride, my ass.

"So, Gray's aloud to use us however he wants and we just have to deal with it? You want me to deal with that sh*t and lick his shoes?"

"Natsu." Jet hissed. "Shut your mouth. These walls have ears too you know."

I grinded my teeth.

And when did school have such a hierarchy?

I glared at Gray who smirked as punched Bora in the eye.

Just you wait tonight, Gray Fullbuster.

Because I'll be sure to humiliate you, good.

If you guys have any questions, please write it in the review or PM me and I'll explain it for you guys.

I realized in most of my fanfics, I make the plot so confusing that people don't get what's happening sometimes, haha.

And do please point my mistakes out if there are any. It really helps me to improve as a writer. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I already mentioned in chapter 1 but the body switching idea is from a webcomic called Lookism. I was thinking of doing a crossover but because the plot will be completely different, I decided to make an alternative universe.
