Chapter 3
Who am I?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ayu shakily tried to take off the hand that hid both her eyes while the explosion occured. She blinked and rubbed her eyes with her fingers as her vision slowly cleared. The dust in the room settled revealing a thrashed and empty science lab. From the left, there were two people she could barely make out. Suddenly, she felt a jab of pain from the back of her head. As she tried to rub it to ease the pain, she noticed, her hair had gone shorter. She ran her fingers through it a bit, and noticed it was also a bit rougher, not like the long smooth hair she used to own. She fell to the ground in shock, realizing that all her hair had gone. To have it all be gone because she succumbed to Nina and allowed her to use magic. Boy, was she going to get it!

As she walked towards the other side, she heard a sound of cracking glass below her. She rolled her eyes towards the ground and saw that she had stepped on a broken hand mirror. Not only that, instead of her hazel-like eyes, gray ones were staring back, smaller gray eyes. Her hair, though shorter, was still in its brown color. It took her a few moments to clearly see through the distorted glass that the face staring back, wasn't hers.

She screamed in shock that could be heard from the exact other side of the room.

In the left side of the science lab, Tsujiai woke up and could barely stand up. He felt as though something was stroking him on the back softly, he turned back and saw no one. He realized that the poking on the back was from his hair. "Was it that long?" he thought. He realized that his chest hurt from falling on the impact as well. As he held it, he thought that it was shaped really odd. Maybe it was swelling so much.

He saw Nina shaking someone on the floor, like trying to wake him up. He went over to her, as he realized that she was calling out his name.

"Nina, wha--?" He covered his mouth, in realization that his voice had a higher pitch. It even sounded like a girl's voice. Was it some side effect of the magic Nina used?

Nina turned her head around and said, "Ahhh, it's you, Ayu."

Hiroki felt a vein popping out of his forehead. Why did Nina call him Ayu? Was that supposed to be a joke? And at why of all the times to make a joke like that, why now?

"Nina, what did you do to the---?"

He was suddenl cut off by another voice coming from behind him.

"Oh....my...good...lord. Am...am I, am I dead?" It sounded like a man's voice. He turned around to see who the person was, and realized that it was Kaji.

"Kaji-kun, what are you talking about?"

"Who are you and what have you done to my body!?" He replied.

"Kaji, how hard did you hit your head?"

"Kaji!? I'm not Kaji! I'm, you! I'm Ayu!" The pale boy replied in shock.

"You're talking crazy. Let's get you to the---" He stopped when he felt a cold draft run through his legs. When he looked down, he realized he was wearing a skirt.

"A..Ayu? Is, is that you?" The person in Kaji's body nodded in reply, being unable to talk. "It's me, Tsujiai."

"Tsujiai-kun!?"

------

Kaji was confused on why his best friend had fallen on the floor at the sight of him. He tried to shake him, trying to wake him up.

"Oi, Tsujiai, wake up!" He said as he shaked Tsujiai's shoulders.

Tsujiai's eyes twitched and slowly opened. It stayed open widely for a whole thirty seconds before he actually said something.

"Who...are you?" Tsujiai said.

"It's me, Ka---"

"What have you done to my body!?"

"Huh? What the heck are you talking about, Tsujiai-kun?"

"Don't call me that! I'm not Tsujiai!"

"What!? Who are you?"

"Who are YOU, is the question to be asked here!"

"What? Im Kaji!"

"Wha-- Kaji!? What are you doing in my body!?"

It took him a moment to realize that he wasn't in his own body, when he realized that his hair was probably bouncing behind him from shaking Tsujiai. He felt through it and realized he did not only have longer hair, but also, they were tied in scrungies.

"Ni---nina?"

From behind the two, Ayu and Tsujiai looked over.

"Oh, Ayu, and..." He said as he realized the other one standing was him.

'This is getting too weird.' He thought.

TSUZUKU!
