Reversal
SUMMARY: Yukiteru is Yukiyori, and Yuno is Yuto. Snippets of each episode to show how much a gender switch really does make a difference.
Chapter 4: Episode 4
"You can't see your enemies in your Clairvoyance Diary?"
"It has its limitations," answered Tsubaki. "It's not quite omniscient."
Kasugano Tsubaki was a petite girl with hair that cascaded to the floor that she was sitting on. Perhaps she was a young woman, given the air of maturity she had about her. Even though she, the oracle of the cult, was strangely caged behind wooden bars, Yuki couldn't help but feel rather self-conscious when being next to her. Compared to Tsubaki's collectiveness and beauty, Yuki was just a simple kid who dove behind Kurusu in fear the second that it was revealed who the sixth diary owner was.
Yuki was skeptical about Tsubaki's assurances of not wanting to be a god, but, if the oracle was anything like Kurusu, then it might be alright to lower her guard just a bit. She was, nonetheless, wary about the exchange for Ninth for her. Even though she had survived two Dead Ends, how was it that she was expected that she could help Tsubaki escape hers? And did the cult really have Ninth in their dungeon?
She bit back a frown and glanced outside, only to find that Yuto was staring at her. She quickly averted her eyes and felt blood drain from her face. The horror that she witnessed in Yuto's house the night before resurfaced in her mind; the image was heavily imprinted in her memory and she would never be able to forget it. But promising to spend one night here where danger could come out at any corner was just as bad.
"Yukiyori-san." Tsubaki's clear voice interrupted her thoughts, causing the girl to look up. "That boy is no good. Let me make a prophecy for you: he will be the downfall of your future."
The hairs at the back of her neck rose. "Is that written in your diary?"
"You're a girl, aren't you? By a woman's intuition, you can tell that there is something wrong with that boy." The oracle's visible eye coolly observed her before closing. "Surely you've already known that."
NOTES: So, Anonymous, who's Tunis? I don't know. Anyway, I'm not switching Yukiteru and Yuno's body types; this is a "what if" fic about Yukiteru being a girl version of himself and Yuno being a boy version of herself. Considering that Yukiteru is depicted as a typical outcast kid (you know, before the whole survival game came into play), I decided to transfer that persona to Yukiyori to maintain canon-realism. I'm not saying that Yukiyori's flat as a board, but I'm sure that the average fourteen-year-old Japanese girl wouldn't have a big bust unless she undergone surgery (like how Hino Hinata had). Moving along: I can't see Yukiyori crying less than Yukiteru. Sorry, Vergil666. I just can't factor out any dismaying qualities about her because I want her close to the canon version and yet be original at the same time. I mentioned this in one of my notes that explained about Yukiyori and Yukiteru's differences and similarities. If an explanation is given as to why you guys think it should be one wayor the other, then I'd be grateful!
