New chapter yay! apologies for lateness... last year in school means i have 50 kabillion questions to do in many subjects... sucks no?

Okay to stop gender confusion (and I know there is going to be heaps of it! Now when I talk about Xariah she'll be a 'he' and Kai will be a 'she' okay? If you guys get confused I'll try really hard to make sure their names are there as well!)

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-"

"Dude! What the fuck is wrong with you!" a boy yelled over Xariah's screaming.

Xariah spun around to be confronted by a boy with bright red hair and pale white skin. He looked horrified and was staring at Xariah while holding the bathroom door open.

"Oh... h-hello…" Xariah managed to stutter out. Who the hell was this guy? Xariah thought to himself cringing.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Tala repeated staring at his childhood friend. Kai Hiwatari standing in the bathroom screaming, what was the world coming to? The calmest guy he knew, screeching like a.. like a.. well girl! something was off.

"Do you really want to know?" Xariah asked hesitantly, perhaps if he told this guy things would be okay. Xariah thought. Really what harm could it do? Right?

He shuddered at the thought "School boy claimed insane when he confides in best friend that he is actually a she" or "I'm a girl! States crazed 17 year old boy"

Tala cut Xariah's thoughts short "Yeah, It would be nice to know why my best friend is shrieking like a girl. Yes."

"Ah! Right… Well… (insert large nervous breath here) I'm not Kei." Xariah revealed.

"It's Kai and yes, you are." Tala replied confused at his best friend's behaviour.

"Noo… something happened." Xariah countered.

"But you look like Kai."

"Yeah but-"

"You sound like Kai"

"I know but-"

"How could you not be Kai?" Tala asked extremely confused, his facial expression changed from confusion to suspicion.

Something occurred to Xariah… Explaining this phenomenon may not be as easy and as believable as he once thought.

"Don't try and screw around with my head Kai like bloody Ozuma does…."

"NO! no no no!" Xairah quickly said flaying his hands around to stop any misinterpretation of what he was trying to say. "You know what… dude. Forget what I said I was just… joking around." Xariah replied trying his best to talk like a normal guy.

Tala's eyes bore into Xariah's who cringed… did he believe him? What if this guy ran off telling everyone that Xariah was a crack pot?

Tala suddenly reached out and landed a heavy punch into Xariah's arm.

"HEY! What was that for?" Xariah shouted nursing his injured arm.

"Just checking you're still you. Man you're almost as good as Ozuma. " Tala laughed and shrugged. "Are you feeling sick or something today Kai?"

Slowly an idea began to form in Xariah's mind. "Yeah … look can I tell you something 'private'?" he said leaning into Tala.

"You better not be screwing with my head again…" Tala replied but listened anyway - This wasn't like Kai at all.

"I got hooked on some.. err.. drugs last night.." Xariah continued forming his escape story. Before going further something must be stated. Although he may be smart in textbook standard – logically Xariah's wit could not rival a snail that has just come last in his first spelling bee.

Tala stared at his friend dead pan.

Taking this as a good sign Xariah continued, "Like big pills… big…. colourful pills! Red.. green… yellow… and some had pink spots!"

Tala stared at his friend speechless, his jaw slowly stretching towards the floor in disbelief.

"Lots of them too.. did I mention they were colourful? Must still be effecting my brain!" Xariah continued pointing to his head, eyes wide with fake innocence.

"You, Kai Hiwatari, Mr Perfect.. took drugs." Tala reiterated drawling.

Xariah nodded trying to look innocent. "I mean how bad can they be? I'm practically fine now. It's not a crime is it?"

"Yes in most states it is." Tala replied

"Right. Well I might go back to bed till this whole drug thing has worn off I think." Xariah replied.

"Perhaps you should get some more sleep." Tala agreed backing out of the bathroom slightly confused at his friend's behaviour. He shook his head in disbelief and exited the dorm.

Xariah let out a sigh of relief. "What dumb luck" he muttered to himself turning back to the bathroom mirror. He stared at his new body. I need to get dressed…

Kai stared at her new body for a moment. She growled and stalked out of the room with every intention of going into her dorm and getting her body back.

"Zari?" a voice called from behind Kai. Kai spun around to find it was a beautiful young girl with long blue hair and piercing green eyes. She was dressed in running shorts and a tank top. Now if Kai was in her normal body she would be thinking of ways to get to know this girl a little better. But she wasn't in her normal body and those sorts of thought were not running through Kai's head at the moment. "What happened last night? I came back here to find you were already in bed! I thought you were going out?" The girl asked

Kai looked at her disinterested. Why are women so nosey? She thought to herself continuing to walk out of the dorm room.

Merriam was slightly taken aback by Xariah's behaviour. "err…. Umm…Xariah? …You're not going out like that are you?" She stated in shock "you're wearing short shorts and a ripped night shirt so the whole world can see your… err… bra.. if you hadn't noticed!"

Kai smirked at the frustrated girl changing her attitude towards the situation. She is going to have some fun with this nosey girl. "You're right." Kai replied and walked back to the bed she woke up in. Next to the bed was a pair of sneakers which she slipped on. Satisfied Kai strode out of the room leaving Merriam in complete and utter shock.

She stalked out of the girl's dorm and into the crisp morning. Not that many people were out apart from a few people who were jogging. Kai paid not attention to them instead picking up her pace to a slight run towards the boy's dorm.

Kai burst through the double glass doors into her dorm. It was unusual running in a woman's body they are more agile but a little slower. Kai shook her head, she wanted her old body back and she wanted it now!

"Hey sweetheart are you lost?" a red head boy called out to Kai who recognised him as Johnny.

Kai rolled her eyes, Johnny was so pathetic sometimes. Personally Kai rather that the woman come to her, which was often the case when she had her old body. She ignored Johnny and continued to walk towards her dorm room.

"Hey, hey, hey pretty lady that's not very nice now is it?" Johnny chastised and jogged a little to catch up with Kai, he swung his arm cleverly around her waist.

"Now who is it ye be looking for child, I can help." Johnny purred into Kai's ear.

Kai continued to ignore Johnny. Rolling her eyes she started stalking up the stairs.

Tala stared at Johnny's lady friend from the top of the stairs. She was cute, and that torn top certainly showed enough to turn on any guy. He wondered if that was the latest fashion for women, if so he would be one very happy boy. The girl didn't look too interested in Johnny in fact she looked as though she was about to shoot him. Here, Tala Valcov thought to himself, was an opportunity.

"J." Tala greeted his friend Johnny as the couple walked past.

"T." the boy acknowledged.

Tala fell in step behind them reached out and –

Slap.

Kai spun around and faced Johnny grabbing a fistful of his shirt and pulling him close to her "What the fuck do you think you are doing?"

"What?" Johnny answered confused.

"You just slapped me on my ass did you not?" Kai stated voice dangerously low even for a girl.

"I didn't touch you!" Johnny cried in bewilderment – who is this crazy girl!

Tala snorted, "yes you did." He retorted knowing all to well what had happened. He had pinched her in her tight little ass so he could get Johnny out of the way, and so far, that seemed to be working.

Kai stared at her childhood friend nodding every so slightly to him, "See I think you are mistaken. If you ever do that again I'll rip off your hands and shove them up your ass since you seem to like it so much." Kai let go of Johnny like a hot brick.

She turned on to Tala. "I need to speak with Kai." It was weird asking to speak to yourself but Kai dismissed it.

"Definitely, I saw him just this morning." Tala nodded led Kai away by the small of her back. He turned back to Johnny and winked. The Scottish boy growled, he had just got done, big time.

Tala opened the door for Kai and let her in. "I think Kai might be taking a bath so if you just want to wait here…"

Kai's eyes widened. His body was being violated! She shoved her way past Tala and stormed into the bathroom.

"AHHHHHH!" Xariah screeched as the bathroom door swung open. "I'm naked get out!"

Kai stared at the boy in the tub. "It's not like it anything I haven't seen before." She drawled advancing at him. "Now get out!" she growled.

"YOU!" Xariah yelled jumping up out of the bath.

"My Boxers?" Kai cringed.

Xariah stared at his lower regions. "Well... I didn't need to see THAT so I kinda just left it in there. Besides I wasn't going to go out to find my body- YOU WALKED OUT LIKE THAT!"

"Never mind that, you voodoo witch… give me my body back!" Kai demanded.

Xariah huffed "I'm no "voodoo witch, you give me MY body back you... You... stealer!"

There was a loud knock on the bathroom door. "Hey what's going on in there?" Tala called.

For a moment the two teens went silent.

"Okay if you didn't switch us and I didn't switch us what happened?" Xariah muttered.

"I don't know." Kai replied, "But we are going to find out… now." She grabbed Xariah's hand and pulled him out of the tub. "What do you last remember?"

"Ow.." Xariah grumbled rubbing his wrist. "Umm the forest, I was walking through the forest and there was a fire."

"That's where we are headed." Kai grunted and led the half naked boy out of the bathroom.

Tala stared at the two teenagers coming out of the bathroom. The girl was dragging Kai out of the dorm in just his boxers and she was going very well. Tala smiled to himself. There was one fan girl Kai couldn't get rid of. Oh well at least she was hot.

"I don't even know who you are, and I'm in your body.. which might I mention is MALE.. now you are dragging me around the grounds in boxers which are soaking wet and nothing else.. not even SHOES! This day just keeps getting better and better." Xariah grumbled as he followed Kai down into the school grounds.

Kai rolled her eyes and continued to race down to the forest. "Here. You lead from here on in." she mumbled as they reached the edge of the forest.

Xariah stared at her puzzled. "Why me?" he asked.

"Since this is the direction you came from last night now move it." Kai replied and pushed the boy into the forest.

"oh I get it." Xariah beamed and headed off.

Not as good as my previous work.. but tell me what you think?
