Disclaimer: blah blah blah, I don't own Love Hina, blah blah blah…
A/N: I came up with this idea when I was reading another fanfic called Ever Wonder If, where Keitaro was transformed into a female. This is my second fanfic, so don't be overly critical, but don't hold back either. On with the show!
Change of Mind, Chapter 1: The Switch
"Keitaro! Come test out my new machine!" Su cried out from within her room. Keitaro, who was busy studying with Naru, sprang up and looked about wildly.
"Relax, it's probably just another Mecha-Tama or something." Naru said, trying to calm him down.
"Just another Mecha-Tama? Do you have any idea how much damage one of those things can do? It can freeze, fry, and flambé at the same time!" Keitaro yelled, running around in a blind panic. Just then, Su burst into the room with two helmets connected with wires.
"Look, Keitaro! This is my Mind Switch. It switches the minds of two people. Isn't that great?" Su said. Then, as Keitaro was edging away, she slammed it onto Keitaro's head. The force knocked out Keitaro, and he fell sideways onto Naru.
"KYAAAAAHHHHH! Get off me!" Naru screamed, as she wound up a Naru Punch. AT the same moment, one of Su's other inventions, a robotic vacuum cleaner, spontaneously exploded, sending dust and metal fragments into the air. Su quickly jumped onto the bookshelf to avoid the shrapnel; however, the smokescreen blinded Naru, and she punched the kotatsu instead. This caused her immeasurable pain, and she cried out. Motoko, always alert to any 'vile, perverted acts' by the male resident, heard the cry and rushed into Naru's room, sword drawn.
"Naru! Are you alright?" Motoko shouted as the dust began to settle.
"I'm alright Mot- Oof!" Naru said. At that particular moment, Su had jumped off the bookshelf. Since there was still a lot of smoke and dust in the air, she had landed on Naru's shoulders, knocking her to the ground. Incidentally, Su had been holding onto the other helmet. This was thus slammed onto Naru's head, knocking her out as well. As Motoko stepped forward to investigate the situation, she stepped on the controls, and both helmets began to hum. Then they abruptly stopped. When the smoke and dust cleared, the scene was revealed: Motoko was standing with her sword drawn, Su was sitting cross-legged on the floor, and Naru and Keitaro were both lying unconscious on the floor.
Keitaro and Naru both stirred.
"Uggh…" Naru said, pulling off the helmet.
"Oww…" Keitaro said as he pulled the helmet off his head.
"Are you alright, Naru?" Naru said, still a little dazed.
"I'm fine, Keitaro, how about you?" Keitaro replied. There was a two second pause, and then they both jumped up and looked at each other. Time stood still for two seconds. Then…
"YAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH" Naru and Keitaro both screamed. "It's me!" They both said, simultaneously.
"Keitaro, is that you?" said Keitaro to Naru.
"Y-yes." Naru replied shakily.
"Get out of my body!" Keitaro yelled, as he started to shake Naru violently.
"UNHAND HER NOW, VILE PERVERT!" Motoko shouted. She raised her sword and sent a blast of chi towards Keitaro.
"But I'm not Keitaro!" Keitaro said, as he flew into the stratosphere.
"Naru, are you alright?" Motoko asked, concern evident on her face.
"Ummm… Motoko-chan? That was Naru in my body. And I'm Keitaro." Motoko tried her best to understand, but then her brain gave up, and she collapsed on the floor. Meanwhile, a few miles away, Keitaro was limping home.
"Ouch… I never knew it was this bad. We're really mistreated Keitaro…" Keitaro thought as he continued walking. After about an hour or so, he finally made it up the steps of Hinata-sou, and collapsed on the floor.
"Sempai? Are you okay?" Shinobu asked, panicking, as she rushed out of the kitchen.
"I'm fine, Shinobu, although I'm technically not Keitaro." Keitaro replied.
"What do you mean?" Shinobu asked, puzzled.
"Well, you see, it would seem that Keitaro is in my body and I'm in his body." Keitaro explained.
"I still don't get it." Shinobu said. Just then, Naru came downstairs carrying Motoko, with Su tagging along.
"Hey, Shinobu-chan, do you have anything to revive Motoko? Like perhaps a bag of ice or something?" Naru asked.
"Sure, I'll be right back." Shinobu said, turning back towards the kitchen. When she was gone, Naru and Keitaro both turned to Su, who was sitting on the floor watching Kitsune sleep in a drunken stupor on the couch.
"Su, can you change us back with your invention?" Keitaro asked.
"No can do, Keitaro, or Naru." Su said. "The machine's broken, and I don't have the original blueprints. Plus, isn't this fun?" There was a silence as Keitaro paused. Then, he exploded.
"YOU MEAN THAT I AM STUCK IN THIS PERVERTED LOSER, THREE-TIME RONIN'S BODY!" Keitaro yelled, shaking the entire complex and causing the residents of the town of Hinata to tremble. Inside the kitchen, Shinobu dropped the bag of ice she was carrying and rushed back into the room.
"What's the matter, Sempai?" Shinobu asked Keitaro.
"Well Shinobu, this is what I was trying to tell you earlier. I, Naru, am in Keitaro's body, and he, Keitaro, is in my body."
"U-Urashima-sempai and Naru-sempai have switched bodies… Auaaah!" Shinobu said, before promptly fainting as well.
"Keitaro, you want to know everything about Naru, right? Well, here's your chance to know everything about her… everything about her body, that is." Kitsune said, waking up from her drunken stupor. Naru turned a deep shade of crimson and said nothing. Keitaro promptly gave Kitsune a death glare, before shifting his attention to Naru.
"You pervert! What are you thinking?" Keitaro said, drawing back his fist.
"Wait! Naru, stop! You're going to hurt yourself!" Naru yelled, jumping out of the way. This thought stopped Keitaro in his tracks. "There. Now calm down and let's talk." Naru said. Keitaro and Naru both sat down.
"Well, this, at least, is obvious: I am you, and you are me." Naru said.
"I don't need you to tell me that." Keitaro snapped.
"Given that Su is not able to reverse this situation at the moment, we will have to assume that we are stuck like this. I, for one, will treat this as a learning experience." Naru said.
"I knew it!" Keitaro shouted, pointing a finger at Naru. "You're going to be perverted!"
"What are you talking about? I mean this will allow me to perhaps understand some things from a girl's perspective." Naru explained.
"That's very noble and such, but what are you going to be doing about sleeping arrangements?" Kitsune piped up. Keitaro and Naru both jumped; they had forgotten about Kitsune, with their crisis on hand.
"Well, I thought that since I am Naru, I should stay in her–" Naru began, but was immediately cut off by Keitaro.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Keitaro practically shouted, slamming his hand on the table. "First, he still has his own mind intact, so he could peek at my diary, or dig through my stuff, or he even might be perverted and do… stuff." Keitaro finished, a blush clearly evident.
"Then why don't you sleep with him to make sure he doesn't do anything perverted?" Kitsune asked.
"WHAAAT!" Keitaro and Naru both shouted.
END CHAPTER 1
A/N: Heh heh heh… Interesting start. I haven't decided on pairings just yet. Leave me some comments if you have suggestions!
Possibilities:
NaruxKeitaro, except as they are now, so it's more like Naru as Keitaro x Keitaro as Naru
Shoujoai, ick… Keitaro, as Naru, gets together with one of the other girls…
Anyways, chapter two is already in progress, except I haven't typed it up yet.
Leave a comment please!
