Sayuri turned around.
She had heard Gale's muttering and now, she realized it, too.
"Oh... crap... uh..." She started to blush like crazy especially when her wardrobe currently showed about 20 different pairs of panties, a bikini and a one-piece swimming suit.
Quickly she closed the door, but her blush stayed.
"Uhm... I'm sorry... I hadn't thought that through... wait..."
She just noticed something.
"You do see me as a girl...? Am I right?"

Nevertheless, after Gale had pointed it out, Sayuri started to walk more careful and tried to watch how she walked, but the swaying of her hips was almost inevitable. She did, however, succeed in walking a bit more manly than before.

A little bit later, they arrived at Sayuri's house.
A big sigh of relief overcame her as she saw it.
"It still looks the same as before..."

Gingerly she opened the door and entered.
"Mom, I'm home and I brought a friend!"
She pointed for Gale to take off his shoes and wear the slippers for guests.

Just as she entered the lounge, two flashes of lightning stopped right in front of her face.
"Ne, ne, nee-chan! Can we use your baseball gloves? We want to play catch in the backyard!"
Sayuri smiled at the twins.
"You can use them, but Kenta, leave the baseball bat alone and Miho, don't hit your brother too hard, okay?"
Both nodded vigorously and dashed off leaving Sayuri and Gale alone again.
"Those two... it's really strange. Miho is the strong one and Kenta is softer than his sister, but they're an unbelievably good team... I really love them both."
A gentle smiles appeared of her face, just to vanish a couple of seconds later.
"Anyway... let's head upstairs, shall we?"

Sayuri took Gale's hand again and pulled him upstairs to a door with the tag "Sayuri's fortress" on it.
Opening the room, it really was a fortress...albeit a pillow fortress.
Pillows were lining every corner in her room, except for the walls. The walls had pictures of vintage aircraft, warships and tanks as well as the picture of a male volleyball player, playing beach volleyball with bare torso.

Not caring about Gale for the moment, she walked to her drawers and wardrobe to open them.
Apparently Sayuri loved to wear short, pleated skirts and shorts as well as T-Shirts, because the whole wardrobe was full of them...

Responding to Gale's statement, Sayuri swirled around on the tips of her feet.

"Maybe that's because I'm not Seiichi anymore... It's awfully confusing, but this feels so natural to me... it's scary but wonderful at the same time"

With a long step back towards Gale, which, of course, ended up being not as long as one would define a long step to be, she playfully punched him in the chest.
"Even if I seem different to you, I assure you, I'm still the same... just... just... my body does things, you know... it's automatic. I can't control it."

She snorted and spat on the ground next to her.
"But don't worry, I'll never end up being a girly girl....", she exclaimed happily and winked, grinning at the same time.

During class Sayuri's strength started to return and she felt a lot more happier and everything. New hormones rushing through her body made her feel more aware of her newly gained femininity.
Still she opted to keep walking the tsundere path, apparently just like Sayuri was supposed to be in this reality.

When class ended, Takumi wanted to go home with her, but Sayuri needed to confirm things, so she shook her head.
"Sorry, Taku, I still need to rough up Gale here." She laughed and jumped on her feet marvelling at her new agility.
On a quick foot she slithered to Gale and grabbed him dragging him out of the room while happily waving to Takumi.

When they both were out of sight from anyone she knew, she let Gale go again.
Without apologizing, Sayuri pointed down the road.
"Let's head to my home. I want to know what happened to my room and what happened to you."

She shouldered her schoolbag and turned to walk down the road not minding that she exposed her backside to Gale with her pigtails dancing on her back with every swift and agile-looking step she took.

She turned her torso back towards him putting her hand on her hips.
"You're coming?"

Beyond the Borders (me and PyroDash888)

Involuntarily, Sayuri blushed madly.
"Gosh, Gale... so cheesy...", she mumbled not feeling very confident at all.
Nevertheless, she still stumbled onwards determined to make it to class with as little help from Gale as possible.

The walk to the classroom stayed awkwardly quiet and neither of them said anything until they had arrived at the classroom.

One certain student noticed Sayuri's indisposition and he came straight for her.
Before the change Takumi Ikeda had been a childhood friend Seiichi had always hung out with. Now, it seemed, not much had changed in that regard.
"Hey, Sayu, are you alright?" Masterfully he had just taken Gale's place without him being able to do anything about that. Right then he slung his arm around the tiny Sayuri and led her to her seat whispering to Gale: "Thanks, but I'll take it from here..."

Anyhow, Sayuri was still feeling rather weak from her episode of unconsciousness and, of course, the bodily changes, too.
With extreme caring Takumi tried his best to alleviate her faintness pumping her full with energy drinks and vitamin cocktails.

All his effort brought him at least a weak smile and a "Thank you, Taku."
Subsequently Takumi reacted differently to her stammering than Sayuri had expected.
"Wow... you're really sick... normally you'd punch me, or at least give a snappy commentary. I want my Sayu back. The Sayu I'm friends with."

Unnoticed by the tiny red head, Takumi mouthed "Don't try anything funny with her" towards Gale.

Sayuri shook her head.
"Nope, I just, uh, hurt my leg a bit, so Gale's helping me walk to class and stuff..."

In all honesty, she actually liked that bloke, although she didn't really know whether she'd like him now.
Anyway, she, in a sort, pulled Gale forward and left the basketball court. She didn't know why, but staying here crept her out like crazy.

After she was sure they were out of hearing range of most, never knowing, though, if Arthur had followed them or not, she whispered to Gale:
"I don't know why, but I felt sort of crept out with those guys... Did you see them staring at me?!"
A shudder ran down Sayuri's back.

Beyond the Borders (me and PyroDash888)

To be honest to herself, Sayuri was a lot more embarrassed than she had anticipated walking down the school yard.
Sure, she needed the help right now and didn't need to be flustered, just because a guy was touching her.
Oh goodness! Did that really mean, she was incapable of touching guys now without feeling uncomfortable? If so, that sucked, but on the other hand, it could also mean, she could touch girls now without feeling uncomfortable and also without it being weird or being called out a pervert.
'Oh, the fun I'm gonna have!

Anyway, Gale was headed towards the basketball court where a few guys were playing.
Unexpectedly, however, Gale crankily yelled at them using an arsenal of swearwords that made Sayuri cringe.
She looked up, right into his face.
"What the heck was that about?"

Beyond the Borders (me and PyroDash888)

On wobbly legs, Seiichi, or Sayuri now, she guessed, tried to stand up but she had to grab Gale's shirt to secure herself.
Now more than before it became obvious how small of a stature she had standing next to him, or actually more clinging onto him for necessary support.

"Wow... I'm really tiny", she muttered. "And my balance is completely off... so, yes, I'd highly appreciate you carrying me, even if it might be very embarrassing for me..."
Her legs were still wobbling uncontrollably and she clung to Gale even tighter to not fall over.

For anyone watching this scene as an outsider, it must have looked incredibly cute. A small, 1.58m girl clinging to a bigger guy as if her life depended on it.

Beyond the Borders (me and PyroDash888)

A panicked Seiichi just tore the phone back into her hands staring at its screen.

"What...no...what...?!"
Her voice didn't seem to function properly and she had to take a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down enough to restore her ability of logical thinking.
Finished with this, she focused on the screen again.

"I'm in the volleyball team? And an ace at that? And my name is freaking 'Sayuri'!"

Quite a bit astounded by the amount of new things charging at her mind she quietly handed the phone back to its rightful owner.

"Sayuri sounds cute, though... If I had been a guy right now, I would totally have the hots for the new me... which sounds weird and creepy all day, every day..."

With a heavy sigh she sat herself upright and scratched her head.
"Volleyball, though... It's the sport where the guys sit on the sidelines and simply gaze at the girls backsides..."

More than that, however, she was surprised by a realization, she just made.
"Gale, do you think it's weird that I like the name Sayuri? That I find, it has a nice ring to it and I wouldn't mind it being my name?"

Beyond the Borders (me and PyroDash888)

The darkness surrounding Seiichi started to fade and very slowly conscious thoughts were possible again.
'What the heck happened...?
As gradual as his awakening, his memories from before his fainting returned to him and let him realize what exactly had happened.
I got hit by a needle...

A small groan escaping his mouth made him perk up shaking away all signs of the lingering period of unconsciousness.
It didn't sound like him groaning, to be honest, more like a teen girl with a rather rough voice.
Still a bit lightheaded he grabbed his right temple, but to his astonishment his hair felt far softer than ever before.
To his sense of touch, it had the texture of expensive silk, something a lot of girls nowadays desire to have.

Following these discoveries it seemed only natural to open ones eyes and, to nobody's surprise,
Seiichi opened his eyes wide just to see a phone's camera stuck into his face shooting a picture at that exact moment.

"What the heck, Gale!", an upset, rough, raspy girl responded instead of Seiichi.
Naturally he was quite shocked by that.
"What happened with my voice...?" Frantically Seiichi shook his head try to attempt the impossible and remove the voice from his throat by shaking his head, however he only achieved his new pigtails hitting him squarely in the face.
"Pigtails? This is becoming weirder and weirder by the second...", he exclaimed when he grabbed both pigtails and held them in front of his eyes.

This incident made him look down on the rest of his body. Whatever he might have thought before, when he saw the small bulge on his chest and the skirt hiding his hips and his crotch, his whole mind went completely blank and even without caring that there was someone watching him, he shoved his hand underneath the skirt's hem and groped his way to where his primary male organs usually sat.

Finding absolutely nothing there his hand continued further downwards and they soon found a slit sitting neatly between his legs.

In utter disbelief his hand rested there for a while as he exclaimed with a breathy voice.
"Holy... I'm a girl... fuck..."
His subconsciousnees took it a bit better than his consciousness. 'No more "he", I guess...

Quickly she withdrew her hand from underneath her skirt and she blushed red in embarrassment.

Looking up at Gale, she only now noticed how incredibly short she actually had become. He now towered above her and made her feel even more uneasy.

"I'm freaking tiny...", she murmured, still not used to the raspy voice escaping her mouth.
"Gimme that phone... I need to see what I look like...!", she snapped at Gale and without asking she tore it from his hand.

Good, I still have a good amount of strength left...

She opened the photo Gale had just taken.
"At least, I'm very cute... does this make it better...?"
