Chapter Three: Soul's Whereabouts

Yumi ran a brush through her hair distractedly, doing the motion through habit more than nescessity.

Setting the brush down, she walked from her bathroom into her bedroom, enjoying the way her fleece pajama

bottoms felt as she walked. A lone light cast shadows on the walls as she entered her room and made a bee-

line for the bed in the opposite corner. The lamp was next to her bed, and after getting situated she

reached a hand up and clicked it off.

Yumi looked down at herself. Yellow shirt, pink sweater and black skirt. Totally not her style. Taking

in her surroundings, she realized she was not in her own room. Well, it was her room, as in it was in the

same house and had exactly the same dimensions, but it was decorated differently. Yumi liked hers a little

less pink. 'I gotta get outa here...' Moving to open the door, Yumi caught a glance at herself in the full-

length mirror on the back of it.

'I'm not me!' She screamed in her own head. Pink hair, and was she....shorter? 'I'm out of here now!'

Yumi sprinted down the stairs and towards the front door. The house seemed to be empty except for

her, so no one was there to stop her.

Bursting through the door into the sunshine Yumi continued down the steps and hurled herself towards

the sidewalk. She was about to continue running down the street when a hand caught hers.

"What's the rush?" Yumi turned to see a boy. Blonde hair, glasses and a blue turtleneck. He was cute,

if you were into the intellectual type. His expression was teasing, until he saw how scared she was. "Are

you okay, Aelita? What's wrong?" His grip on her hand tightened.

"N-nothing, Jeremy. I'm fine." Yumi panicked inside. 'I didn't say that! That wasn't me! How do I know

his name?!'

At any rate, this Jeremy boy looked releived. 'Well, at least someone's happy!' "C'mon then, we'd

better get to class." Yumi felt herself nod dumbly and allowed the boy to lead her down the street. It

seemed like she was simply observing things from this girl's body. Though she had been in control when she

panicked in the house.....

Suddenly the school gates loomed up before them Yumi balked inwardly. 'It's the school! But it looks

newer somehow..... like it was just built....'

Another boy stepped out of the park and headed their direction. Yumi thought she heard Jeremy say

something under his breath, and he sped up their pace, nearly dragging Yumi behind him. She felt her feet

slip out from under her and the ground came rushing up.....

-----

Yumi sat bolt upright in her bed, cold sweat dripping down her face. Gasping for air, she took a quick

look at her surroundings. 'My room! My room! It was a dream...all a dream...'

"Jeremy...and Aelita....But who are they?"
