This is going to get real confusing, so lets simplify things a bit. Now, Reimu is in Marisa's body and vice versa. So I will write names like this.

Name of original person(Name of the body)

Eg: Reimu( Marisa)

Note, before the characters realized there is a switch I will not write it as such and neither in dialogue, thoughts or recollections of the past. Also, when I say Marisa(Reimu) snapped her hand for example, I mean Reimu's body containing Marisa hand snapped. Hmm, now I might just want to take that example and put it into practice, but maybe later

So a friend made me realize this might confuse quite a few people, much more than clarifying. So I decided to add a recap session before each chapter to clear up who is who. I will refer to who is inside the body, so try and remember which body they own, ok? So do your best to enjoy.

On a side note, rushed out this piece today as celebrations for my O-Levels score, I got 8A1s, only take 8 subjects. Yes!. Best score possible for me to get, even English is A1.

Oh and love it when you review all my errors, helps me improve, but for dialogue, lets spoil the grammar to bring out the character.

Oh and one last thing, Thoughts are in italics. And now please enjoy.

Living in each other

Recap,
Marisa was in hangover mode, and realized that the body she was in was not hers but Reimu's.
Reimu had woken up earlier than Marisa, but failed to see the signs till Marisa stumbled into the kitchen, and that Marisa was in her body, and Reimu was in Marisa's body.

There was no doubt what had happened.(1)

"Ah!" Reimu charged Marisa, tackling her to the ground. Straddling her, Reimu bore down on her like a ton of brick, digging quickly through her former outfit, drawing the familiar spellcard.

"Dream sign, Fantasy seal"

The declaration was made with all her might, but she felt no surge in magical energy, nor saw any multi-coloured balls emerge to smash her target. Infuriated Reimu grabbed Marisa's shoulder, pinning her to the floor. Accusations flowed fast and free.

"What the hell did you do! You did this right? Answer me! What did you do to my drink?" Reimu was practically screaming by now, shaking poor Marisa till her head kept banging against the floor.

"III-dddiid-nnothing, nnow stopp sshhakking mee" Reimu wasn't convinced, but was prepare to give the offending magician a chance.(2)

" Me specialize in magic that blows things up right? Then how am I to do this sort of thing ze?"

"That's right." Reimu began to calm down, and thoughts flowed more rationally instead of the previously shotgun accusation she made. Feeling a poke on her thigh, Reimu looked down at her captive

"Err, Reimu. Could you get off me? You in me, very heavy ze. And scary, knife reminds me of Sakuya." Marisa squirmed slightly under Reimu's weight. Reimu realized that she was holding the knife, and it was dangerously close to Marisa's throat.

"That was close" Reimu thought as she rolled off Marisa and replacing the knife. "Nearly cut my own throat, sort of. Then I will be stuck in Marisa forever, NOOOOOOO!"

[SFX: Smack!]

Reimu fell over, following the force that hit her face.

"Oi! NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Kay?" Marisa towered over her, hand behind her ear, indicating that she had been the one to hit Reimu. "Come on, pull yourself together... There, there. What happened ain't going to fix itself while you cry, you know." Marisa offered a hand to help Reimu up, ironically the same one that sent her down in the first place.

No response, Reimu just lay there in a daze, stunned both by the words and the slap she had received.

"Ah!" Marisa exclaimed, pulling at her hair, "Fine be that way, stay stuck in little Marisa's body, or pick yourself up, and give whoever needs it the good old fashion miko beat-down they deserve ze. Meet me by the kotatsu, we should talk." Turning her back, Marisa immediately went to draw water from the pump, and then set to boil for the tea.

Returning to the living room several minutes later, Marisa's hands were laden with a tray carrying the tea. Reimu was shaking her head furiously, as if shaking it enough might reverse the situation to something better.

"Why? Why me?" Reimu pleaded to no-one in particular.

"Tea's ready" Ignoring Reimu's previous comment, Marisa start to pour tea for the both of them.

"Why did we switch bodies? And why can't I use my spell card?"

"To the first," Holding up one finger, Marisa continued, "No idea. But why you can't use your little fantasy seal, I think I might know. A spellcard is a focus point to channel your energy into a form that is comfortable to your usage. Therefore you cannot use another person's spell card unless that person's spellcard style is very similar to yours. Like my master spark from Yuka and non-directional laser from Patchouli."

"Simpler please," Reimu blurted, " your head doesn't seem to be good for thinking." Emphasized by tapping her forehead.

"Ok, basically you cannot use your spellcard cause you are in my body. Kay?"

Reimu sighed, her shoulder dropping, downing her tea like sake in an attempt to calm her nerves. "Oh ya, breakfast is also prepared. Though by now it is more like lunchtime." Reimu excused herself to bring to food that was almost forgotten in the chaos that had just ensued.

Later on.

" I swear to kill whoever is responsible for this mess! Wincing at the venom laced in Reimu's words, Marisa took the opportunity to admire how cute her original self looked when angry, very rare chance as it wasn't ever day that people switch bodies. " After I have killed them, I will storm Higan and drag them back to kill her once more!"

"Wow, things getting serious" Marisa smiled, placing the wide-brimmed hat onto Reimu. This completed the image of the witch theme Marisa always went by and at the same time also muffled Reimu's increasingly furious plans of disembowelment and other tortures. " Although I do prefer the strong willed Reimu compared to the sobbing Reimu just now."

"Hold on?"

"Hey Reimu, how you going to fight the culprit? You cannot use any of the spellcards you usually use now, since you are in my body."

Stopping dead in her plans of forcing her gohei down the throat of the culprit, Reimu tilted her head slightly, staring at nothing in particular.

"Have no idea" Reimu slammed her head onto the kotasu, punishing herself for this oversight. " Wow, Marisa... You have a thick skull. Maybe that's why half the things I tell you don't register with you."

"Ah that's it!" Reimu to stood up suddenly, grabbing Marisa's wrist. Striding out of the living room, Reimu dragged Marisa along.

"Err Reimu, not in my body, so can't read what's in my head. What are you doing?"

The next phrase uttered was a phrase Marisa never expected to ever hear Reimu say, whether in her own body or not.
