==================================================================================
Chapter 8
It around noon when Mariko heard a sudden strange bang. She looked out into the hall and saw nothing. At first she thought it was nothing but then she heard it again. She looked all over for the source and still couldn't find it. She thought she was just hearing things again but this time she heard it and she found the source. It was coming from Mayuyu's room. Mariko opened the door and looked inside. There sitting on the ground was a little cyborg abosorbed into a war game. Mariko's eyes almost exploded from all the bright flashes coming from the girl's computer screen. But what surprised Mariko even more was how fast Mayuyu's hands were moving.
"Good lord."
It looked like Mayuyu didn't have fingers. They were moving so fast that Mariko could only see a blurr. Mariko wasn't sure if she should stop Mayuyu or just let her do what she wants. But she knew that if Mayuyu continued then she would eventually lose touch with reality and never come back. She had to stop Mayuyu.
"Hey Mayuyu I think you need to stop."
Mayuyu didn't answer. She just sat there typing away on her computer focused on the game. It was as if Mariko never exsisted and Mayuyu was off in her own world.
"Mayuyu if you don't answer me I'm going to break on of your figurines." Mariko threatened.
Mayuyu still ignored Mariko. She wasn't really going to break them because Mariko knew that if she did Mayuyu would kill her. Instead Mariko needed a different plan. Just then Yukirin came by and Mariko knew just what to do.
"Hey Yukirin!"
"Yes?"
"Come here for a second."
"What is it?"
Suddenly Mariko pinned Yukirin against the wall with both arms back and back pressed against the wall.
"Mariko!"
"Relax I know what I'm doing."
Mariko looked over at Mayuyu who was still in her video game world.
"Mayuyu look what I got? It's your precious Yukirin."
Mayuyu didn't even flinch. She just kept on typing.
"Mayuyu!"
Yukrin got out of Mariko's hold and walked over to Mayuyu.
"Mayuyu listen to me. Hey are you there?"
Yukirin reached out to touch Mayuyu but when she did, Yukirin got shocked. Both Mayuyu and Yukirin were being electrocuted and Mariko couldn't do anything. Eventually the shocking stopped and the two fell unconsious. Then a couple seconds later, Mayuyu was the first to wake up.
"Uh what happened?"
"You got shocked. I'm surprised you're still alive Mayuyu."
"Mayuyu? Mariko I'm not Mayuyu I'm Yukirin."
"No you're Mayuyu. Look at the screen."
Mayuyu looked at the screen and almost flipped out.
"What the? This can't be right! What am I doing in Mayu's body?" Yukirin said.
"I don't know you tell me."
Soon after Mayuyu woke up in Yukirin's body.
"Hey what are these things?"
Mayuyu started poking at Yukirin's chest.
"Hey don't do that! That's my body you're touching!" Yukirin said.
"So this is what is feels like to have big boobs.. this is awesome!"
"Mayuyu!"
"Alright the both of you listen. It's obvious that the shock somehow managed to switch your bodies and until we can figure out how to unscramble you two you're going to be stuck like that for a while." Mariko said.
"Sweet!"
"No!"
"So you two stay here and I'm going to get someone to help. Now then where's my phone?"
"Sorry."
Yukirin handed Mariko her phone back.
"I had the strangest feeling to take it when you weren't looking." Yukirin said.
"You're a kelptomaniac. It's what you do." Mayuyu said.
"God why do my eyes burn!"
"It's cause they've been focusing on a comptuer screen for too long. Give it a while and the pain will go away."
"Is this how you feel after everytime I pull you away from a video game?"
"Yes."
"No more video games for you if it's doing this to you. No wonder you wear glasses."
"Well you two get along and I'll be right back."
Mariko ran out the hall and started going around asking for help. To Mariko's surprise, the one that actually knew what to do was Airin.
"You know how to fix them?" Mariko asked.
"Yeah. It's happened to me before. I know what to do."
"Ok then fix them if you can before things get too serious."
Airin walked into the room with Mariko and found the two fighting. Mayuyu was on top of Yukirin trying to take advantage of Yukirin since she had a stronger body now.
"Mayuyu stop it! Don't use my body to do such indecent things!" Yukirin said.
"But when will I get another chance like this. Yukirin looks so cute when she's vunrable."
"Mayuyu!"
Mariko looked over at Ainin who had a werid look on her face. At first Mariko thought she was going to go psyco mode on her and start trying to draw them. But instead she walked over and grabbed something in the middle of the air making Mayuyu stop moving. Mayuyu became dead still almost as if she was just shot.
"Airin what are you doing?" Mariko asked.
"I have it. Her life essence." Airin said.
"Her what?"
"Her life essence. It's kind of like a soul. Only people who can see it can touch it. When you touch it, the person is at major risk because all I could do is pull it out of the body and Mayuyu's soul will be lost forever."
"Don't do that!" Yukirin said.
"Ok so then how is this going to fix the two?"
"Well first the two aren't in balance."
"What?"
"Earlier you two weren't in balance making it very easy to split each other. Balance yourselves again by spending some time together and I'll come back in a while."
Airin let go of the thing she was holding and Mayuyu started gasping for air.
"That was scary! I thought I was about to die!"
"You're gonna when I get my body back." Yukirin said.
"Ehhh?"
Mariko and Airin walked out of the room leaving the two to fight out what they need. There were a couple questions that Mariko had for Airin since she didn't know her very well.
"Airin...."
"Yes?"
"What kind of things do you see? You said you have an illusion disorder. What kind of things do you see?"
"All kinds of things."
"Like?"
"Well the life essence is one thing but I also see shadows."
"Shadows?"
"Yes shadows. I see them move all over the place. I can tell what a person is like based on their shadow. That and their life essence."
"Then what do you see in me?"
Airin paused and took a good look at Mariko examing her up and down. Then she finally said,
''Your's is very interesting. Your shadow shows that you're very caring and likes to play games. Kind of like a mother. But your essence is gray meaning there are things you're unsure about. You wonder why you do things or why things happen. Almost confused about yourself."
Mariko was surprised at what she heard. Mainly because Airin was pretty much right but she didn't tell her. It had been quiet in the other room so Mariko decided to take a peak inside. She looked in and saw Yukirin sleeping on Mayuyu's lap. To others it would just look like Mayuyu sleeping on Yukirin but because the bodies were switched it was the other way around. Mayuyu was gently storking Yukirin's head humming a song looking like she was about to pass out herself.
"I'll go do it now. They're in perfect balance."
Airin snuck over and grabbed something over Mayuyu's back. This time Mariko could see it as well. There floating above Mayuyu was a light blue orb and the one above Yukirin was a dark blue one. Airin grabbed them and switched the two putting them back into the bodies. Mayuyu woke up and saw she was back in her body.
"Hey I'm back!"
"So am I!"
The two girls hugged in happiness and then Yukirin pinned Mayuyu against the wall and said,
"Now then let's finish what we started."
Yukirin leaned in and kissed Mayuyu's neck causing the little girl to moan. Her hands traveled up and down Mayuyu's body searching for an opening. Mariko knew it was time to go at that point and was ready to leave. But she looked over at Airin who had sketch book out and was drawing the scene.
"Airin come on!"
"No I must draw this!'
"Move!"
Mariko grabbed Airin and dragged her out of the room.
"Why did you make me leave!"
"Because they were doing things only they should see and not you." Mariko said.
"But it's scenes like that that are the most beautiful!" Airin said.
"No it's just you wanting to be a hentai."
"No I'm not!"
"Then let me see what you're drawing."
"Fine!"
Airin handed Mariko the sketch book and Mariko opend it. She started to flip through the pages and was surprised to see what she saw. In there was detailed sketches of everyone in the facility. There were also pages of two random color beautifully blended and arranged to making the picture outstanding. There were also several sketches of Rena in chibi form and in full body form. All of them were beautiful.
"The two colors represent the life essences. When two people come together, the essences fuse making all kinds of beautiful colors. I want to draw them everytime I see them because it's something I don't want to miss."
Mariko looked over at Airin again and saw her staring at Maiko with big eyes. It looked like she was looking at Mariko and everything around her. Was this girl truly mad or was she just a misunderstood person?
"Please let me draw what's inside there please!"
"Alright fine but don't make too much noise. You can look through the window but don't go in."
"Thank you so much!"
Airin took her sketch book and went back to drawing the scene that was unfolding inside the room. Meanwhile Mariko left and started walking down the hall when Miichan snuck up behind her.
"Ahh what the heck Gachapin!"
"Haha you're getting old Mariko if something like that scares you." Miichan siad.
"That's only because I'm being scared by an old bag like you." Mariko said.
"Hey I'm younger than you!"
"So what? You look old to me."
"Mou go back to the senior center you old hag!"
"Go back to the kindergarden you little twerp!"
The two stared at each other without realizing how close they were. Mariko was practically breathing down Miichan's neck with their foreheads pressed together. Miichan had her hands wrapped around Mariko's waist pulling her in closer. It was then at that moment Mariko saw it. It was feint but surrounding Miichan was a lime green arua. It radiated from Miichan like a gyser. Mariko stepped back for a moment to observe the aura.
"What?"
Mariko was lost in thought. She remembered how Airin said hers was gray. When two essences collide they make beautiful colors but if Mariko and Miichan did it would it be beautiful? Would gray and green turn into some beautiful? Mariko stood there thinking until Miichan came over and whacked her in the head.
"Hey what was that for!"
"Pay attention."
"I was thinking."
"About what? Where you left your brain?"
"Shut up Gachapin."
"Haha I'm just playing. I'll see you around."
Miichan skipped away with that green arua still coming from her. Mariko smirked as she thought,
"Green... just like a Gachapin."
