CHAPTER 2- DEATH ISN'T BAD, IT's JUST THAT IT SUCKS BEING DEAD...

________________________________________________________________________________

     After the bathroom incident, Josh-chan (I guess that's what you
call h- whatever) and I went over to my room.  Of course, I had to punch
out about five guys who were looking at us like two sides of beef.
I never thought men were so bad, but I never had to view men from
this perspective.  Josh-kun, who was fortunate enough to find a hot
shower, then started to read today's newspaper, then said;

     "Jeff, you need to take a look at this."  I read the headline.

     NCSU STUDENT KILLED BY DEMON.  5TH STUDENT KILLED BY
SUPERNATURAL                          FORCES SO FAR THIS MONTH!

     I gasped at the thought of actual demons on the NCSU campus, but
then Josh told me what has been going on these past two weeks.  I was
kind of surprised at the detail he was able to go into on the various
types of demons that have been infesting the campus.  I guess Josh just
liked the subject. Then I remembered that I, myself, in my current
state, could be easily confused for a demon, as I had the horns to
match.  I made a mental note to buy a beret and some red hair dye
tomorrow.  Then I looked at the picture of the unfortunate student.  I
saw the person I was yesterday.  I screamed, for the second time in my
life.  This time I did not faint.  Suddenly there was a knocking on the
door.  With geat fear, I opened the door.  A pinkhaired girl who I was
very familiar with, and Josh was somewhat familiar with, entered.  She
seemed to be happy, almost bubbly.  I would have been less scared if she
just pulled out one of her big guns.  Knowing Ran-chan she just might
pull one out in any minute.

     "Ran-chan!"  The greeting came from both of us simultaneously.

     "Why am I dead?"  I was somewhat curious as to why they went
through with faking my death, it wasn't like I was going to go around
claiming I was my old self.  Ran then gave us her cutest smile, then
said:

     "You've been dead since yesterday.  We can't go around having any
loose ends.  People will begin to suspect that you are missing, someone
might get lucky and find out about our little secret, tehehe!"

     I just had it.  "HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH ALREADY!  YOU'VE DESTROYED
MY BODY,  NOW YOU HAVE TO GO AND TAKE MY IDENTITY AS WELL!  WHAT KIND OF
A MONSTER ARE YOU?!"  I really didn't want to start yelling, that would
have let her know that she was getting to me, which she was, but I just
couldn't take much more of this.  Suddenly Ran started to laugh.  A
truly maniacal laugh.  Josh then said,

    "I never knew Ran had a Kodachi laugh."

    Ran-chan then reverted back to her cute form, and then whispered in
my ear,

     "We are not destroying your identity, Emiko-chan.  Tee hee."

     I facefaulted,  "Who's Emiko-chan?"  Ran then pointed a finger in
my direction and smiled,Just before facefaulting I cried,  "ME!!!".

     Josh then said, "Right know you're a little too err, feminine, to
be a Jeff."  Resisting to urge to use some more shock therapy on Josh,
which would be a little too cleched, I shouted,

     "I'M NOT A WOMAN!", to which Ran-chan giggled and replied,

     "Josh is right.  Jeff is kind of a stupid name for a cute girl like
yourself.  So Jariten, Lum, and myself got together and decided that
Emiko is a nice name, so Emiko you are.  By the way, you sound an awful
lot like Ryu* when you're mad, I find it kind of cute."

     "So I'm not even allowed to pick my own name?  That sucks!"  Josh
nodded in agreement.  I wonder if he has a name for his Josh-chan form
yet.  I hope so because Josh-chan sounds so stupid.  Ran than spoke up.

     "When you were born, did you get to choose your name?"  Logic, the
2nd most powerful weapon in the universe, next to well, whatever they
did to me. "Also, in a way we are kind of your parents, we made you what
you are, so we should get to choose your name.  Be glad we didn't get
Ataru to name you."

     Josh then muttered "I'd love to hear this-"  This was answered by
a lightning bolt, which caused Josh to pass out.  Ran then replied,

     "You need to learn to control the lightning, because if you overdo
it, you get really sleepy.  Ataru wanted to name you Fluffy."  You could
see the veins pop out of my forehead.  I was angry before, now I was out
and out mad.

     "FLUFFY!  FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

     "Calm down, don't you see that Emiko is a much better name?  Tee
hee."

     I nodded in agreement and resignation, "Hai."   Ran then continued.

     "We're not finished.  We have set you up with an entirely new
identity. Your name is Emiko Morisato.  If you're wondering we let Lum
pick your last name, she just loves Keiichi and says your old face
reminded her a lot of Keiichi, so she said Morisato would be a good last
name for you.  Here is all the ID you will need for you're new
identity."  Inside a manila folder were a driver's license, an ATM card,
a student ID, and even the local anime club's card, which had Ran listed
as my favorite character.  I need to remember to change that as soon as
possible.  Ran then continued.  "We put $100,000 in your bank account. 
Oh, we will have to find a new place to live, dead people cannot stay in
their dorm rooms. It should only take a few days... Is there anything 
else you want to ask before we go?"  I nodded and said,

     "What exactly was in that roast duck?  Also will you be coming
back?"  To this Ran-chan replied,

     "Well, the duck is a trade secret of mine.  As for coming back,
we're not finished with you yet-"  Ran-chan then smiled, giggled, and
headed towards the door.  In her cutest voice, I heard her say "Bye
Bye!"  I then yelled for her to wait, but it was no use.  It was now
midnight and I had a very eventful day, plus those lightning bolts I
kept hitting my friend with did tire me out, just like Ran-chan said.  I
then realized that I needed a place to crash, so I asked Josh, "Do you
mind if I stay over at your place for a while, at least until they find
me a place to live?"

   "Uhm, I guess you could stay at my place until they find you a room,
but you'll have to put up with my new roommates.  We don't have any bed
space,  though, so you'll have to sleep on the floor.  That's the best I
can do for you."  Josh sighed.  "You might see a few things that'll
suprise you, however.   Oh, and we better remove your stuff from your
old room before someone disposes of them.  I'd better call my roommates
and tell them you will be staying a couple of nights."

     I thanked Josh for his hospitality.  Fortunately I would not have
to waste my money on an expensive hotel.  Sleeping on the floor was not
the best option, but I do have to be careful with my money, or else I
may have to get a JOB! 


     After packing up my tapes, TV, cards, and other stuff, we got ready
to  go to Josh's apartment.  Then, Josh said, "Wait!  I have to do
something.", then I saw Josh heading to the bathroom.  After a minute,
Josh-chan walked  out.  Then we got in the taxi which I had called for a
few minutes ago- you don't expect two girls to carry all that luggage? 
I then had to whisper something which had been burning in my mind for a
long time.

     "By the way, what do you call yourself in this form?"
     
     "Kyone."  
     
     "Did you name yourself or did you get named?"
     
     "I got to named by someone. I kind of like it, though."
     
     "How exactly did you get cursed?"
     
     "I got cursed for the same reason you did, just by different people
using different methods."
     
     I then asked about Josh's- err Kyone's three roommates and how she
ended up living with them.  For some reason Kyone was very vauge about
details, which was kind of strange.  We finally got to the apartment,
and  entered.  I immediately recognized the three girls.  They were the
same ones who dragged Josh away from my room when I was being
(attacked?) (transformed?) (cursed?) by Ran-chan and Ten-chan.  I am
kind of suspicious as to how they knew where I was when I was being
attacked, or if they know exactly what happened to my friend.  The
Redhead then asked what was my name.  This made me uncomfortable, since
I am really not used to speaking a lot with women.  I then said "I'm
Emiko", with a long pause between the "I'm" and the "Emiko".

     The blond-haired girl with glasses said, "What a nice name.  My
name is Fuu.  Is there anything I can do for you?"   She seemed to be
really nice.  Maybe living with women isn't so bad after all.  I
replied,

      "No,thanks anyway.  I'm just staying for a couple of days."  I
then asked the two other girls in the room what their names were.   The
redhead responded.

      "My name is Hikaru and her name is Umi."  She then pointed to the
bluehaired girl, who seemed indifferent to everything.  She probably
just didn't think I was interesting enough to talk to.  Kyone then
interrupted everyone by saying.

      "Everyone, it's kind of late and I have an early morning class." 
I also wanted to get to sleep,  if only because I was afraid Josh's
roommates would find out about my secret.

      I slept okay that night.  I would have slept better if the floor
was not as hard, but it beat sleeping on the sidewalk.  About 6:30am my
sleep was interrupted by 4 people waking up and complaining over who
gets to use the bathroom.  Kyone and Umi looked like they were about
ready to slug it out.  I wonder if they were having their periods, or
when I would have mine, or if I would even get a "time of the month". 
Then I noticed that I had to go.  Bad.  One of the bad things about
being in a woman's body is that you have to go to the bathroom more
often.  After about an hour of anxious waiting I finally got access to a
bathroom.  I hadn't felt so relieved, since, eh- bad choice of words. 
Let's just say I felt relaxed.  Of course,  that was when Ran-chan
decided to pay me a visit- again.  I was hoping no one would open the
door, but Fuu opened it, and as soon as she did I hear this bubbly voice
grating at my ear.

     "Ohayoo Gozaimasu, Emiko-Chan!"  Usually I can stand Ran's high
pitched voice, but not in the mornings.  I tried to be polite anyway. 

     "Morning, Ran.  Why did you come and see me?"  Ran then giggled and
said,
     
     "I have good news for you.  We found you a pernament place to live,
a couple of miles away.  it's a really nice place, you can come in today
if you'd like, I've finished all the paperwork.  Your roommates would
also love to meet you, although you know one already!" Fuu then said,

     "What good news!  Now you no longer have to sleep on the floor, and
you can sleep in your very own bed.  It's too bad we couldn't have been
better friends!"  Usually if you hear that you would think that you are
being brushed off, but her voice sounded so sincere I had to believe
her.   It was time to  leave, so I told everyone goodbye and headed off
with Ran-chan, hoping that things couldn't get any worse...
