Chapter 2

Ok Hiromi calm down. She ran a hand through Kai's hair which at the moment was hers. How on earth did this happen? She closed her eyes briefly. Maybe she was dreaming. "Hey Kai you ok?" she heard Rei ask as they stopped outside the bathroom door. "I'm not—I mean I'm fine." she said as she looked at them trying not to give them a smile of reassurance because while for her it was natural she doubted Kai actually gave any.

Max raised an eyebrow. "Ok. Maybe you should just rest the remainder of the day." You could use some rest. He turned to Rei who nodded in approval.

"Yeah—I mean No. I'm fine" she said as she tried her best to remain Kai-like. Need to be serious.

"Obviously he's not." Max muttered to Rei while 'Kai' stared at his reflection. Rei nodded. He was puzzled as to why Kai was acting rather strange. If he were truthful Kai reminded him of a girl at the moment with all the yelling and screaming and whatnot. Something is definitely going on.

"Uh" what the hell do I say? Kai looked around the living room and his eyes stopped on a sweater. "I'm going for a run." He said as he snatched the sweater put it on and ran out the door. He doubted he could just walk away without saying anything. Being Kai he could but being Hiromi was completely different. She wasn't rude. Besides he hadn't realized he didn't have a shirt on. Being a guy meant that he didn't always have to have a shirt on. But now…Dammit!

He hadn't been lying. He was going for a run. A run to the dojo. She's in pretty good shape. Fuck what now? He felt the bra strap slide down his shoulder. I really don't want to touch this thing. Ignoring the annoying strap he continued to run picking up pace. He ran into the dojo and slammed the door open jerking Kenny awake. "What the—Hiromi?" he asked sleepily.

Kai looked around the dojo…panting. He was tired. His legs felt like lead. I shouldn't have pushed it too much. His body wasn't anywhere and neither were Rei's or Max's.

"I said I'm fine! Stop talking behind my back!" Kai winced. He never raised his voice. Inhaling deeply he ran in the direction of the voice.

Hiromi frowned at the two teenage boys that were whispering among themselves. "Yes we think you should definitely rest today Kai." Max begun but was cut off by someone pushing him to the side. "What the! Hiromi!!" Max said as he stared at the brunette that was at the moment staring at Kai.

Turning Kai pushed Max and Rei back and went inside the bathroom slamming the door shut leaving two bladers bewildered.

Inside the bathroom Kai turned to face his body. "I want my body back" he said slowly looking at Hiromi. It felt strange he had to admit looking at himself it was as if he was a stranger looking in.

"Well take it! I don't want it!" Hiromi yelled back. "And what are you wearing! Is that Gina's sweater? She is going to kill me or you or one of us for wearing it!" she said frantically running a hand through her hair. Kai just looked on. It was strange seeing his body move without him being the one to actually make it move.

Hiromi looked at Kai and wrinkled her nose. It felt strange staring at her own face when it wasn't through the mirror. She also noticed she looked uncomfortable or rather Kai looked uncomfortable. She also noticed him moving her shoulder slightly. The bra strap! I hated that bra.

Kai looked at Hiromi and slightly moved his shoulder. Damn this thing! It was then that he felt the binding cloth give way. Eh? It felt as if he had nothing on besides the sweater. Scowling he clutched at the sweater and at the breasts confused.

"Don't do that!" he heard Hiromi yell as she grabbed his hands. Looking up he was meet with his own face. Is that how I look when I blush? Have I ever blushed? "I wasn't going to touch them" he said slowly.

"Turn around." he heard her or rather his voice say. "This bra strap always comes off. It gets on my nerves." Kai closed his eyes. Better her than me. He turned around and felt the sweater lift a bit. A few seconds later everything felt fine again…well as fine as things could get. He turned back around to see her looking somewhere else. "To think you might see me naked." she said slowly and softly. I want to die

Kai scowled. "We need to find out how this happened. Come on." and with that said he grabbed her hand and opened the door to see Rei, Max, and Kenny looking at them weirdly. Ignoring them he pushed through all the while pulling Hiromi behind him and ran out.

"Where is Hiromi taking Kai?" Max asked as he looked in the direction the two had left incredulously. Hiromi and Kai?

"I have no idea." Rei said as he looked at his teammates.

"You don't think they are—well you know…" Max trailed off.

"Together?' Kenny asked as he looked at them both. Highly unlikely but quite possible

Kenny had come after being awakened by Hiromi. When he got to the hallway he saw both Max and Rei leaning close to the bathroom door. Wondering what was going on he walked towards them. They told him that Kai and Hiromi where arguing in the bathroom. They also informed him of Kai's strange behaviour in the morning and that was how he ended up listening on the conversation. "Maybe she's pregnant." he said distractedly.

"You don't think…" Max trailed off once more as his face registered shock. "I don't know guys. Let's not jump to conclusions." Rei said as he smiled nervously. Hiromi pregnant? "With Kai's child?" Rei thought out loud. "No I don't think so. Both of them are too responsible to let something like that happen."

"But even responsible smart kids make mistakes Rei and maybe Kai and Hiromi were one of those kids that got carried away." Max said thoughtfully. "It could happen you know. Remember Alicia? She was top of the class and she got pregnant."

Puck was having a field day. I picked the perfect pair. He hadn't expected for these new developments to well… develop. He laughed as he left the confused bladers and went in search of the pair he had switched. This was so much more fun than dealing with that wailing spirit or the Weird Sisters.

Pregnant? He laughed once more. He couldn't wait to see how all this would play into the prank.

"Ok OK stop." Hiromi said as she and Kai were running through the park. Pulling her hand free she stopped. Kai turned and faced her. "How did this happen? Did you do it?" he asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. Remembering he now had breasts he uncrossed them.

Hiromi watched him with amusement. She wanted to laugh. But when his words registered she saw red. "Me?! What is your problem?! Why the hell would I do that? Are you calling me a witch?!" she wanted to slap him and she would have except that she remembered it wouldn't look good. After all it would seem as if Kai had hit Hiromi not the other way around. A witch? gods know I had enough of Tyson calling me the wicked witch of the eight grade.

"Then what happened?"

"I don't know ok. Believe me I didn't do it. What would I have achieved?" she crossed her arms and stared pointedly away from Kai or herself…or whatever.

She heard him sigh and sit down on the ground. "If this is a joke I don't find it funny." Kai said as he glared at the concrete floor.

Oh but it is! Puck was watching them. He had laughed at Kai who obviously didn't want to touch even by mistake the girl's breasts. He cocked his head to the side as he watched Hiromi sit down next to the guy or rather as 'Kai' sat next to 'Hiromi'.

"We need to find out how to switch back and quick. School is going to start in a week and don't you have to go back to your parents?" Hiromi asked as she wringed his hands.

"Don't you go to the same school as Tyson?" Kai asked as he turned to face her.

"No. Not anymore. My parents switched me. I go to this other school now." Courtesy of my cousin Hiromi answered. "Are you going back to Russia? Don't you go to an all boy's school?"

"No my "parents" are going to stay in Japan." Kai answered. "Last time I saw them they were talking about moving me to a new school."

Hiromi looked at well…herself who was now Kai. She could tell Kai was uncomfortable with his parents after all they were complete strangers. They arrived right after the last tournament and since Kai was still a minor he had to go with them. Although she had to say that his parents didn't push him to live with them. They know they had messed up and during vacations they let him stay at Tyson's. Now they were coming to Japan. She could tell they did love him.

"Does that mean you have to live with my family and I with yours?" she asked as she looked at the sky. This is horrible!

"Apparently."

Eh "Kai?" she began softly. Her only response was to the flicker of her own ruby eyes. I guess he's listening. "Are we going to tell the others?"

"You think they'll believe us?" he asked gruffly. He hated the fact that he could no longer sound intimidating. "I don't know." Hiromi said.

"Hey Kai?"

"What" he asked irritated. He hated talking.

"Now that you are a girl or well in my body you umm…well are going to have menstrual cycles…you know that right? I mean if we don't manage to switch soon." This is sooo embarrassing! Her cheeks or rather Kai's cheeks were flaming hot.

Kai sat tensed. Menstrual cycles? He turned to look at his body. Hiromi was looking at the ground biting his lips and his cheeks were crimson. He felt Hiromi's own cheeks burn. He couldn't talk.

And up above in a tree. Puck the trickster laughed. This is better than I imagined. Snickering the silver-haired trickster disappeared. Kai's reaction had been priceless. But now he had been called by Titania. He hoped the Fairy Queen and King had not found out about his deed…yet.
