You are Me and I am You?! - chapter 3
I've gotta find out what's going on here. And what happened to Karin.
Kenta walked at a brisk pace towards his apartment below the Marker's mansion. He wanted to check to see if his theory on what's going on is correct.
Logically, or maybe i should say "illogically", if I'm in Karin's body, then she should be in my body. Kind of like that one movie...
"Huh?"
Someone seemed to be running towards him. It looked like a tall teenaged boy. His hair was short and a bit unkempt and he had pretty creepy eyes--
"That's me!"
Karin noticed someone wearing a Shiihaba High girl's uniform. She had dark hair and was a bit short--
"That's me!"
Karin was about to stop in her tracks, but she tripped on a large rock and ended up falling on top of Kenta.
"ow, ow, ow~" Karin rubbed the cuts on her legs from the fall. Kenta had no injuries, and went through Karin's bag and found some bandages to stick on the nasty spots.
"Th-thank you, me..."
"...me? so I was right! you're in my body and I'm in yours!"
"Kenta-kun? ....KENTA-KUN!" she squeezed him tightly. A little too tightly.
"yoowwwch! squeezing... too... tight...!" Karin immediately withdrew her vicegrip of an embrace and frowned.
"S-sorry. I'm really not used to this body at all."
"I couldn't agree more. I seriously commend you, Karin."
She looked curiously at him. "Commend me for what?"
"Uh, nevermind. More importantly, why are you outside wearing nothing but my boxers and an undershirt?!"
Karin looked down at the clothes she was wearing, a bit surprised.
"Oh! i didn't even notice. besides, what's wrong with that? It's not that cold outside. I don't see the problem with wearing shorts and a shirt."
"Boxers aren't the same thing as shorts! They're guys' underwear! And an undershirt doesn't count as wearing a shirt!" After his small outburst, he sighed.
"At least nobody saw me, er, you. Anyway, let's concentrate on figuring out how to fix this once we get to my apartment."
Karin nodded her head in agreement, "mm."
He and Karin made it back to the apartment, where Karin put on his school uniform and made herself something to eat. Kenta refused to eat or drink anything because he said he didn't feel like it (this wasn't really the reason, but he didn't want to say why).
They talked for a few minutes, going over what had happened to each of them.
Kenta was in his thinking mode, one hand to his chin, and came up with conclusion:
"So, neither of us knows how this happened, and we don't know how to fix it."
"Looks that way... I think we should tell my family, they might be able to help!"
"How?"
"Down in the basement, there's lots and lots of old books! Maybe there's a book down there that can help us fix this!"
"Well, it's worth a try. For now, we'll just have to get used to this. That means we have to act and do things that you or I would normally do. understand?"
Karin wasn't smart, but she knew what he was getting at.
"Uh, yeah. I think."
"All right. And don't forget to use masculine words in your speech, or you'll sound weird. Remember, you're me and I'm you."
"Ok. We should be going now, or we'll be late for school, Kenta-kun, uh, I mean, Karin."
This is so weird! I don't know if I can get used to doing this...
"Oh, i think so too, kenta-kun~" he made out her voice to be a little flirty and high-pitched.
Karin looked a little upset at kenta's impersonation of her. He didn't do it on purpose, he honestly thought she sounded that way to him.
Oh, come on! I don't even sound like that! Well, two can play at that game. just you wait, Kenta-kun, er, me.
Kenta's apartment, about 10 minutes after karin and kenta left for school---
"Kenta! I've got your fever medicine! Just lay in bed and let mommy--huh?"
The apartment was empty.
"Darn, he left. I really wanted to relive the old days where I'd give him his medicine and feed him soup, and sing him a cute lullaby..."
