GROWN UP CHAPTER PART 2: ADULTHOOD

After reintroducing themselves, the two young women were seated in the living room. While this was unusual for Shiori, having a son who was a Kamen Rider helped her get used to unusual events.

"So let me get thus straight. You're Rika-chan?" Shinichi pointed, "And you're Hanyuu-chan?" He received nods from both women before him.

The two women who'd identified themselves as Rika and Hanyuu couldn't be the two little girls Shinichi had befriended. They were years older, looking to be 18 and had very generous curves and sculpted figures. The only thing that confirmed their identities was their individual hairstyles. Plus, Hanyuu had those horns of her. Hanyuu was the only girl he knew who had horns. He actually knew she had them even if nobody else noticed but never commented on them.

"How did this happen?" asked Shinichi.

"We just woke up looking like this," answered Rika.

Twin shrieks were heard in the Furude home, shocking Satoko and Satoshi awake. The Houjou siblings' eyes were as wide as dinner plates as their mouths were agape.

"What happened to us!" screamed Hanyuu as she looked herself over. She was…bigger. She checked her chest which had breasts between Rena and Mion's size. Rika was also sporting the same type of figure and her hair was longer too.

"I don't know!" Rika exclaimed. This was too weird.

"Rika? Hanyuu?" Satoko questioned, "Is that you?"

"And because our normal clothes couldn't fit us, we had to use my mother's," finished Rika. Rika was wearing a white short sleeved blouse with a long pink skirt that reached her knees. Hanyuu was wearing a yellow sleeveless blouse with a long blue skirt that reached her knees as well.

"So, you just woke up like this?" asked Shinichi. They nodded. "What do you think caused it?"

"We're not sure," said Rika. "Even Hanyuu doesn't know."

"So, we came here to fix this," said Hanyuu. "We want you to reverse our time."

Shinichi frowned, "Are you sure you want to risk it?" He'd been able to repair a broken glass with that power, but he hadn't practiced on a living thing yet. "I might end up turning you into babies." Hanyuu shivered. "We better not risk it."

Rika and Hanyuu nodded. This new variation of his time reversal power was still a bit unpredictable since Shinichi hadn't yet mastered it.

"So, does everyone else know?" asked Shinichi. Rika nodded. "OK, so the club knows."

"Well, it wasn't like we could hide this," said Rika. When she wore her mother's clothes, she saw her own mother in the mirror.

"Are we going to be stuck like this?" asked Hanyuu.

"I don't understand what's going on," said Shinichi, "But we'll figure something out. Just don't panic, OK?"

"Yes, relax," said Shiori. "Look at it like a learning experience."

Rika hadn't thought of it like that and neither did Hanyuu.

"Why not enjoy young adulthood while you can?" Shiori elaborated. "You're both very attractive and beautiful women."

"Kaa-chan, they're twelve," said Shinichi. "Well, were…" He added internally, 'Of course that's only physically and not mentally.' Rika and Hanyuu had lived through several repetitions during the 'Endless June' of 1983.

"Are you sure?" Rika asked.

"I'm just saying that this is a rare opportunity. I wouldn't mind being a youngster again myself, even for a day," said Shiori. "I mean what's the worst that can happen?"

"Be careful what you wish for," Shinichi warned. "Or what you say. You might just get it."

The club assembled at the Furude Shrine later that day. Keiichi just couldn't stop appraising Rika and Hanyuu while Satoko pouted at the unfairness of it all.

"How come they just suddenly grew up?" she questioned, arms crossed.

"Now, Satoko-chan," said Satoshi. "They just had a growth spurt."

"That's putting it mildly, Satoshi-kun," said Shion.

"Man, you girls look hot!" said Keiichi. This earned him a slap upside the head from Mion.

"Keiichi, you're not a pedophile," Mion warned/reminded.

"You're not cute anymore," frowned Rena as she looked at Hanyuu and Rika.

"OK, this is weird, even for me," said Shinichi, "And believe me I know weird. We don't know what caused this to happen to our friends so let's not stare."

"We're still the same, but older," said Rika.

"And it's not so bad once you get used to it," said Hanyuu. 'Maybe I can get Chiaki-san to notice me now!'

"So, what will you girls do?" asked Mion.

"Shiori-mama suggested we try and enjoy our new forms for as long as we can," said Rika. She glanced at Shinichi and her cheeks turned pink for a second.

"Good advice," agreed Mion.

There was a change in the air and Shinichi looked up to see a silvery veil hovering above them, rippling slightly. "Incoming!" Shinichi warned as he saw something dropping from above.

THUD!

It was Hitomi. He'd landed face first into the dirt and on top of him was the same boy from earlier. He was gripping Hitomi's chin with his hands and tugging painfully backwards.

"RUI! MERCY! UNCLE!" Hitomi shouted.

"YOU'RE NOT RUNNING AWAY FROM ME, MISTER!" the young man, Rui, shouted.

"Hey, Hitomi," Shinichi greeted dryly. "You need help?"

"No! I'm good!" said Hitomi as he flailed around in pain. Satisfied, the boy got off Hitomi but still kept his foot on Hitomi's back.

"Call me Rui," the boy said. "And sorry about my idiot boyfriend here."

"Wow, I never knew Hitomi swung that way," said Keiichi.

"Swing in what way?" Rui asked, confused.

"What my boyfriend here means is that you're gay," said Mion.

"WHAT!" exclaimed Rui and Hitomi.

"I'M NOT GAY!" shouted Hitomi.

"I'M A GIRL!" Rui shouted.

"WHAT!' everyone shouted in disbelief.

"A tomboy, really," Hitomi corrected and had his head stomped to the ground.

"Really?" Shinichi looked Rui up and down.

"Of course I'm a girl!" shouted Rui, feeling offended.

"And here is the proof!" said Hitomi as he lifted up the shirt to expose the sports bra she was wearing. Those were definitely breasts. "She's got such a flat chest so people mistake her for a boy lots of times." He then realized what he'd done as he felt the massive killing intent being directed towards him. Hitomi sweatdropped as his tomboyish girlfriend's face turned red in anger and embarrassment as she glared at him. "Rui?"

"HITOMI NO BAKA!"

Hitomi found himself the recipient of a violent head butt in the face, again. Rui glared at the others, "WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT! WANT SOME OF THIS!" she shouted. They all backed away.

After things calmed down and introductions were made, they continued with the matter at hand, namely Hanyuu and Rika's new age.

"Actually, I have a request," said Rika, blushing slightly.

"OK, name it," said Shinichi.

"Would you please take me out on a date," Rika said.

Several pair of eyes widened in shock at that statement. Hanyuu wasn't surprised, though. She knew deep down Rika had feelings for Shinichi. She just never pursued them because of Rena's love for him and the age difference. The latter was no longer a problem, but the former would be. Rena was quite possessive of Shinichi and would definitely refuse on account that she did not want anyone taking her boyfriend away.

Shinichi looked to Rena's whose bangs were shadowing her eyes. This did not look good for Shinichi. She was going to shout out a refusal and maybe even attack Rika. He gulped…

And then Rena looked up and smiled at him. "He'd love to!"

"Excuse me," said Shinichi. "Rena-chan, can we talk in private?" The two stood up and went to the back of the shrine, away from prying ears or eyes. "Rena-chan, are you okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" she answered with a question.

"Because you're kinda allowing me to go out on a date with another girl," said Shinichi. "Sure it's Rika-chan, but look at her now."

"I'm not worried," Rena answered. "I trust you both not to do anything bad."

"Are you sure?" Shinichi asked. She looped her arms around his neck and pressed herself against him in a hug.

"Because I trust you," said Rena.

"But what if she wants to kiss me?" Shinichi asked.

"If it's one kiss, it should be fine," said Rena. She didn't sound so certain.

"Rena-chan, I can just decline and-"

"No!" she cut him off. "I just know that you won't go further than a kiss."

Shinichi pressed his forehead against hers. "If you're sure. Just promise that you won't get angry or anything if it does happen."

Shinichi didn't look too sure, but was nonetheless satisfied by the answer. The two walked back to the others and Shinichi answered, "OK, Rika-chan. I'll take you on a ride around town."

Rika smiled and said, "Nipah…"
