"Hope... What a wonderful feeling... But sadly, this world has no more hope left in it..."

****

Inaho had been through a lot. Granted, not as much as Average Youkai Master Amano Keita-kun, but still enough to know that if she woke up in someone else's room, there was DEFINITELY something wrong. 

This room was definitely not her room at home, so Inaho could guess that this was a dorm room. 

But where was it located? That was the mystery she had to solve now!

"Alright, let's go!" she got up and grinned. Time for another case to be solved! "USApyon--" 

Bad move.

Her head suddenly throbbed so hard, and her mood shifted quickly from excitement to fear, to pain... She screamed as she collapsed onto the ground, writhing like a fish. Hot tears escaped her eyes while she held her head. What was going on? Why did it hurt so much?! What had she done wrong!? She had always been kind, caring, and passionate about what she liked! She had never done anything wrong! Maybe she had annoyed USApyon, but hey, she had wanted it to be a joke! No need to be so serious about it!

She hissed in pain. She hated this so much. She hated this she hated this she hated this!!! Someone HAD to get her out of this! She couldn't take this pain--

Her eyes caught the mirror in front of her, and she froze. 

Caramel-brown hair, bright orange eyes, slightly fair skin....

Who the heck was this girl?!

Wait... 

She... she... 

Misora Inaho's eyes sparkled, and she cheered, "I'm in someone else's body! THAT IS SO COOL!" 

... How did it even happen though?...

Inaho didn't actually care. She was too excited by this new prospect! 

Another thing she could beat the Youkai Master, Amano Keita at!

****

"Ugh... I'm so tired..." a purple-haired female yawned as she pulled herself off her bed, eyes still adjusting to the room's lighting. "SONG was so brutal yesterday..." 

She stretched slightly, trying to warm up her semi-paralyzed bones before heading out of the room...

Just as she caught sight of a mirror, and gaped. 

"WHO THE WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?!" She screamed. 

Tachibana Hibiki had been through a lot, but this definitely took the cake. 

Just what the heck was this?

And where was she!?

"Okay, okay calm down Hibiki-"  she flinched as a pounding headache echoed in her mind. "Ow ow ow!" 

This made no sense whatsoever!

"Sis?" a new voice made her stiffen. "What's wrong?"

As she turned, she noticed a young boy standing beside the door, a frown on his face. 

Hibiki's mind went blank upon seeing the boy. Who was he and why did he look like her? 

"Sis? You good?" he asked again, snapping her out of her trance. 

"A-Ah, yeah," she managed. "What time is it now?"

"It's 8 a.m.," he gave her a weird look. "Do you have a fever, Sis?" 

"I'm fine!" she said. "Don't worry about me. I'll be down soon!" She rather not worry anyone. 

"Okay then...?" He gave her a skeptical look. "I'll see you downstairs then Sis." 

As soon as he closed the door, Hibiki exhaled in relief. That was a close call. 

"What are you doing, Inaho, dani?" a new voice suddenly asked her, and the SONG agent turned, surprised and alert...

Just to see a cute otter in a rabbit space outfit. 

"...... Eh?" 

******

Inaho was beginning to realise something very important; she and this so-called Hibiki were both drama queens. She was definitely giddy about this fact and the current situation at hand. This was similar to that one episode in Sailor Piers where the characters switched bodies! She really did want to experience this longer! 

As it was, she was excitedly binge-watching anime after waking up, ignoring the pain in her head out of the giddiness. The animes here were top-notch! They even had Sailor Piers-

Wait, Sailor Piers? 

She stopped there, and the dialogues wafting from the phone faded into nothingness as she thought about it. How could there be Sailor Piers in a different world? 

After a while, she decided to come to the conclusion that Sailor Piers was so famous and popular that it transcended dimensions! 

This was so much fun! Inaho was definitely not going to leave this place as long as she could!

"I wonder what other things this world-"

Another searing headache cut through her words, and she screamed in pain as she gripped her head. 

What was going on? It hurt so so much help her please-

The last thing she thought of before her consciousness faded into the black shadows was, "What have I done wrong?..." 

****

Hibiki was actually getting the hang of things here. With the entire thing with Youkai too, which she considered a win! She tried to help the Youkai that came in as much as she could, although she was given odd looks. Nevertheless, she went through her day and helped her brother to the best of her ability. 

Right now, after getting ready for bed, she was just reading some comics she had been searching for a while now (weird...), wondering idly how her friends were doing. She was hoping that they would be okay. Hopefully, this Inaho lady didn't scare them too badly. 

She then got to thinking about this spell, this thing that she was experiencing. Was it connected to her former enemies? No that sounded too sketchy and unrealistic. That couldn't be it. 

So what? What was it? Nothing made sense. 

She groaned. She wasn't the smart one, yes, but she still wanted to think about it. It would help a lot, after all. 

Wait, had this happened before to other people?

She stopped and got up as she headed to the computer, ignoring USApyon's confused gaze to check the internet. 

A quick search soon proved useful, showing her a forum where people had switched bodies for a day. They detailed some rules they had discovered, so Hibiki quickly logged on and joined the chat. 

SailorPiersisAwesome: Erm, hi? 

YLibero: Eh? Inaho?

SoDoneWithYouAll: Is this the person you said kept calling you average? 

JibaRapper: WHAT?! 

AkiAki: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WHY THE HECK IS SHE HERE?! 

YLibero: Maybe she's also had her body switched. 

SkaterYuri: I'm going to pummel her. Where the heck does she live?

SoDoneWithYouAll: Same. 

RaimonGoalieLibero: Keita, give me a second to track down where she lives so I can hit her for hurting you. 

Hibiki's eyes widened. Wait what? Inaho was that cruel? She couldn't believe it! 

Then again, USApyon had told her that she liked torturing him, so maybe it wasn't too farfetched. 

YLibero: CHILL!

SailorPiersisAwesome: He's right, though! I don't even know what you're talking about! 

SaltShakerKei: What's your name then?

SailorPiersisAwesome: H-Hibiki. T-Tachibana Hibiki. 

YLibero: Nice to meet you then, Hibiki-san!

SweetVampire: You're new to this entire thing aren't you?

SweetsSnowPrince: Very disorienting but we get it. 

SailorPiersisAwesome: Really?

YLibero: Yeah, it's nothing to worry about. We've been in your shoes before, so we don't blame  you for being disoriented. 

Wow... He was really nice. How could Inaho be so cruel to him? 

Hibiki frowned. She hated it. She hated it when people hurt others for no reason. And while she didn't know Inaho, she wanted Inaho to know that what she was doing was wrong. 

SailorPiersisAwesome: I'm so sorry for what she may have done to you, Keita-san. I don't know you personally, but I can tell you're a very kind person. 

YLibero: E-EH-

AkiAki: Can't deny that. 

SoDoneWithYouAll: Mmhm. 

YLibero: Hiro how can you agree to this-

SoDoneWithYouAll: She's right. And that's all I need. 

YLibero: You are an embarrassment. 

SoDoneWithYouAll: I try and succeed in that department.

YLibero: I HATE YOU!

SoDoneWithYouAll: Nah you love me. 

AkiAki: *sniffs* Jinpei, we taught him well. 

JibaRapper: *cries* I AM SO PROUD HIRO!

YLibero: -.-

Hibiki giggled. This group was actually fun. 

Wait, maybe she could invite herself to the group chat!

She quickly typed in her email address into a new email, then sent a new message that was set to send the next day. She didn't want Inaho to find out while their bodies were not their own. It would only make things worse. 

She then closed her eyes, and sighed as she lied on her bed, feeling a wave of exhaustion fall over her. She was tired....

With that, with the moon waxing above, Hibiki fell asleep, waiting for Inaho to do the same...

*****

Inaho couldn't help but think about the things in her life that she had done wrong after that headache. She had been found out by Hibiki's dad, and he was terrified of what had happened.  He had cried and hugged her as he asked if she was okay, begging for her not to do that again. Apparently it wasn't good for her body. 

She hadn't thought at all about this Hibiki's body, so perhaps she wasn't always right. 

She thought about all those times when she had overexaggerated things, and had even mocked Keita before he moved away from Sakura New Town, calling him forever average, that everyone would continue to see him as such...

She shut her eyes. Back then, she had felt right, as if Keita was the bad guy for running away. 

But... 

Had SHE been the bad guy for making him feel like he had to move away?

Inaho looked up to the ceiling, and closed her eyes.

Maybe she had always hurt the people around her by being a drama queen.

Well, no more! Misora Inaho was done with that. She was not going to let them be hurt by her cruelty. She was going to change for the better. A hard journey, but it was one that had to happen.

With that in mind, she relaxed her body and fell asleep.

*****

Inaho definitely felt remorseful enough. She actually apologized to Keita for the harsh words she had said, and promised to go to therapy after Hiro had suggested it.

Hibiki and Inaho did get along though, despite the former's lack of a good impression on Inaho. Being an otaku, she also helped them figure out an important detail; Akinori and Jinpei were from different timelines.

And boy did it shock them all.

Just how far did these swaps go?....
