Sorry it took so long to update. I'm in school and so it takes a while to edit and update chapters. I hope you enjoy. :)
The sun was barely above the horizon the next day when Allen woke up. He sat up in his bed and stretched his arms as he yawned. He was about to get up out of bed when his long black hair fell from his shoulders and onto his lap as he sat up. After a moment, Allen paused as he frowned at his long hair. Wait a minute. He didn't have long hair. Allen also looked hesitantly at his muscular arms and chest. He frowned as he realized that those didn't belong to him either. He looked at his clothes and around the room. He started to panic as he realized that he wasn't in his own room. In fact, it looked strangely like-
Allen turned pale and took a quick peek into his pants. He turned pink as his fear was realized. That was definitely NOT his! He rushed to the mirror and gazed in horror as he realized that it wasn't himself he was looking at. It was Kanda. His hands slowly made their way to his face as he glanced at the mirror and lightly slapped his face to make sure it was real. Nothing happened and he felt the slight pain on his cheeks. As soon as he realized that this was very much real, he screamed.
Around the same time, Kanda got up and moaned as he touched his head. He had a splitting headache. He slowly got out of bed and froze as he heard the most obnoxious sound come from his stomach. He frowned. That was odd. He took a moment to think about it and shrugged to himself. Come to think of it, he didn't get a chance to eat dinner yesterday. He decided to deal with that later once he was washed up so he left to the restrooms to wash his face.
Allen was in a panic as he was pacing around the room with questions flooding into his head. What happened? What's going on? Was he going crazy? Did he change into Kanda or was he Kanda? This was way too confusing.
Allen sat down on the bed and took a few breaths to calm himself down. Allen gazed around the room and noticed a table on the other side of the room across the bed. It was a round table with an hour glass with a pink flower floating at the top and a couple of the flower's petals on the bottom of the hour glass. Allen had to admit it was quite strange seeing something like this in Kanda's room. Oh, speaking of which . . . Allen rushed out of the room and dashed down the halls to find Kanda or him . . . whatever came first.
Kanda walked into the bathroom and walked over to one of the sinks. He cupped his hands under the running water and splashed it all over his face. He stood up straight and froze as he stared at the mirror in shock. Kanda saw the beansprout's face in the reflection. He made a fist and punched the mirror, shattering it into pieces. Stupid beansprout.
"Kanda!"
Kanda pause and looked around in confusion. How, or better yet, why did he hear his own voice call out his name? He turned to see himself panting in the doorway and giving an evil glare. Kanda's eyebrow twitched uncontroably. What the-? Kanda's hand was gripped by the other Kanda and was pulled out the bathroom heading towards Komui's office. Kanda stopped in the doorway and kicked the imposter through the door.
"Who the hell do you think you are!? Dragging me around like that!"
Kanda's eyes widened as he realized that voice was not his own but Allen's voice that came out of his mouth. He covered his mouth and gasped as he slowly realized what was happening. He rushed over to the desk and used the mirror and caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. His eyes widened as he gazed as Allen's face as his own reflection. Kanda was about to yell when Komui yawned as he got up from his desk. He looked at both Allen and Kanda sluggishly and sipped his coffee.
"Alright, what happened between you two this time?"
Allen took this opportunity to speak first. "While moving a box, a certain liquid spilled on both of us and now we're stuck like this."
Komui frowned as he slowly sat up. "What on Earth do you mean like this?"
Kanda scowled "We switched bodies."
As he said those words Reever and Johnny entered the room and looked at Kanda and Allen in shock as they realized what happened.
Reever sighed "Oh no. Don't tell me that potion spilled on you two."
Komui finally stood up and adjusted his glasses. "Well unfortunately I don't have an antidote to fix this mess, but it will be in a short while."
Kanda growled "How long will a short while be?"
Komui paused and sipped his coffee. "Hmm . . . probably in about a week at the least."
All four men yelled in anger. "A WEEK!?"
Komui simply nodded "Yes, I'm afraid so. In the meantime Kanda . . . Allen . . . you two should probably get out of those pajamas and into some decent clothes before the rest of headquarters wake up see you."
Both Kanda and Allen looked at their clothes and blushed as they realized that they both had been wandering around in their pajamas all morning. Without hesitation they both dashed out of the office and into their own bedrooms, completely unaware of how strange it looked to the rest of Headquaters. So people that were already up began to talk when Allen stormed into Kanda's room and Kanda ran into Allen's room.
Allen was about to head towards the kitchen when Kanda gripped his shirt and yanked him in a corner out of sight.
"What do you think you're doing?" Kanda hissed at Allen.
Allen frowned. "I'm hungry, what does it look like I'm doing!?"
Kanda yanked Allen's black flowing hair into a ponytail. "You can't just walk up there and ask for food that you normally order! How do you think it's going to look? People are going to get suspicious if I suddenly order a large amount of food I normally don't eat. Now, since we're in this position, let's just have one of us get the food for the both of us and find a hiding place to eat."
Allen paused. Kanda did have a point. "Okay, but how do we do that?"
Kanda grabbed sheets of paper that he help himself from Komui's office. "You just put down whatever you want on this paper and I'll go get it."
Allen started writing on the paper and then he asked. "Wait . . . why do you have to go get it?"
Kanda frowned. "Because if you (being me) ask for a huge order of food people will get suspicious. So it's easier if I go get the food for both of us."
Allen pouted. "Fine!" He gave Kanda his order of food. "Be sure you get everything on the list as a large portion."
Kanda grabbed the paper and headed over towards Jerry. As Kanda read the list off the piece of paper, Jerry cocked his brow.
"Oh Allen hunny, you sound awful! My gosh, you look sick! You need to get some rest child! Is there anything else I can make you?"
Kanda said quietly. "Soba noodles too."
Jerry smiled. "Ok, just give me the list you have there and I'll make them in large portions just the way you like them." He turned and went to his kitchen to perform his work. When the food was ready, Kanda picked up the food and headed towards the corner in the hallway where Allen was waiting.
He arrived and motioned for Allen to follow him. They both ended up in the training grounds. Allen plopped himself on the floor and began chowing down. Once he started eating his face turned blue.
Kanda looked at him suspiciously. "What's wrong with you?"
Allen gave Kanda a weary look and moaned. "I don't feel so good. My stomach feels nauseous."
Kanda frowned as he ate the soba noodles. As soon as he was done his stomach continued to growl. He looked at Allen's food in disgust as he realized that he had to eat the food in order to satisfy his hunger. It made sense since the body he was in was not his but Allen's. Crap. Allen sipped tea in jealously as Kanda ate the while pile of food. As soon as he was done, he glared at Allen.
"Being you sucks! You know that right?"
Allen scoffed. "Well, being you isn't a walk in the park either."
Kanda sighed. "Can't we just get back to normal now?"
"We're gonna have to wait til Komui's done with making an antidote."
Kanda lied down on his back. "That long huh?"
Lavi and Lenalee were walking towards Komui's office. They both were called out to go out on a mission. Lenalee was going with Lavi and Bookman to find an old library with hidden scrolls that revealed the secrets of the golden cube. Her original mission was to go with Allen and find innocence in the Philippian islands but it was cancelled for some reason she was unaware of. With Allen not going on a mission she was worried. She was determined to figure out what's going on with Allen when she returned. When she and Lavi entered Komui's office to find Komui talking with Bookman and the Generals.
A Few Minutes Earlier . . .
Komui was sitting in his office with Bookman and the Generals. They were discussing the effects that the potion might have on Allen and Kanda.
"Geez Komui, this is what happens when you aren't careful with your experiments." muttered General Zolako.
Cross was sipping wine while Bookman was flipping through Komui's ingredient potion book. Cross set the glass down and looked at the others in the room. "The only thing we have to worry about is if those two using their innocence will be an issue. Will their innocence cross over to their switched bodies or will they both have each other's innocence?"
Bookman closed the book and looked at the Generals. "Another thing we must put into consideration is Rouvelier and his assistants. If they discover what the formula has done to the two of them they will experiment on them endlessly."
By the time he was done Lavi and Lenalee entered the door to the office.
