Chapter 00: The Switch

The beam of sunlight teased her to get up from sleeping. Reo's eyes slowly fluttered open, and she rubbed them. She noticed how big her hands turned into and then after realizing how heavy her body was, she jumped from her futon, she was in a different room too, "What the?!" her clothes was different, and from it she could see some muscles and she felt something else…

Reo sprinted towards the neighboring pond to look at her reflection. The clear waters reflected someone else's beauty, her hair wasn't blonde, but brownish and short with a mage that resembles that of Kondou. The deep blue eyes she possessed became shining emerald gems. A wave of anger at some person struck her instantly, causing her to break into an obvious place where that person could be.

The rage she had caused her to break the doors and reveal the awoken culprit, "Oh you're here, which means my guess is correct," she heard her own voice, but in a playful tone that she'd never heard from her own lips.

"What did you do to me?!" she growled as she saw herself standing in front of her, grinning at her.

"Don't yell Reo-chan. It's not my fault, really. You seem to be enjoying my body aren't you?" it was as clear as a bell on which person was in her body.

"Shut up!" she charged at him, with the manly strength she had, it was a piece of cake to strike Souji from where he stood, she locked his arms on top of his head with her strong grip. "Explain this!" she was entirely out-of-character, she's hysterical.

"That hurts ya know?" Souji – in a woman's body – can't move an inch. She was too adamant to begin with, he sighed, "I woke up like this. Geez, how on earth can you move around with this burden on your chest?" he pointed at her Reo's very breasts.

"And you think this thing hanging between your legs isn't a burden?!"

"You saw it?" he chuckled despite the disadvantage he's in. Reo balled her fist, "Ya know, if you punch me now, you'll end up hurting yourself," his laugh grew louder as if he was enjoying the sight of her in a panicky state.

"Stop laughing!" she covered her ears, Souji stopped and looked at her, she looked like she's about to lose it. Reo couldn't stand hearing herself laugh like that, especially from the likes of Souji, she had never laughed like that after all.

"Calm down…" like her, he didn't know what to do. Their bodies got switched, it was unfortunate. Souji left her for a while in her room, "I'm going to take a showe-"

"NO you won't!"

xXx

Chizuru and Heisuke served breakfast, the two couldn't help but stare at Reo and Souji, who'd been bickering ever since they got into the dinner hall.

"Give back my body!" Reo yelled.

"Shut up," it was the first time Souji got pissed of her. Reo pouted.

The people around them clearly had no idea what they were arguing about, so they started to eat. Hijikata didn't bother to stop them, while Kondou just gave off a dry laugh.

Then Souji thought of something, he turned to Saitou, "Hajim- I mean Saitou, fight me you shorty," he challenged- enjoying in Reo's body – planned to utterly humiliate her.

Saitou glared, his look was full of killing intent. Reo gasped. And lose twice to him?! No! Reo stood up, "Hajime-kun, don't mind her, she doesn't think you're that short," she countered. Saitou calmed down a bit, "I, for one think you're a midget," Saitou went out to get his sword.

xXx

Saitou took the two of them outside to settle the score, but Hijikata didn't permit them to have a match even with wooden swords, "Hell that I'll let you three," was his respond. Saitou ended up sulking somewhere else, since he can't defy Hijikata's orders, while the two were still causing a scene. Reo was panicking and Souji was getting annoyed about it.

With that Souji took her somewhere more peaceful to think, like a place with plenty of trees and cool breeze to cool her off. Okay, this place is fine.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?" he shook her, but he can't drop the feeling that calling her name on his own body was quite weird for him, he can't move Reo that easily, being in a woman's body was hard to manage, "Good grief… she's knocked out from stress… well now at least you know every single part of me…"

They both slept on the grasses while the tall trees shaded them from the bright sunlight.

Okay, I don't really know why I randomly added a bonus chapter or why I wrote about switched bodies/souls/etc... it's so darn hard to tell which is which, anyway I hope you enjoyed. Don't forget to review.

Thank you for your continuous support and for reading!
