Erika's POV:

I was almost finished from powering up my magic and was headed back outside where my friends were waiting.

As I was placing my hand on the door knob of the power room, I heard a loud 'bang' that came from outside. What the?

I opened the door and headed out to find thick smoke covering the hallway...

"*cough* *cough* Did you sneeze again, Atsui?!" I heard someone shout from inside the grey cloud of smoke.

"NO IT WASN'T ME!" I assume that was Atsui who yelled back but....that didn't sound like him though.

"*cough* We need to clear this smoke at first hand." I saw Leon's blonde hair as the smoke slowly started to clear out making us visible to each other again.

"What was that bang?" I asked.

"No idea..."

"So Erika...you done?" Gray asked me with a cheerful smile and I nodded, "mhm...thanks Gray and thanks to all of you for helping me!"

"What?"

Hm??

"Rika...I'm not Gray...it's me Atsui..."

....oooook I'm pretty sure I'm talking to Gray right now....

"Hah?? Gray, what are you talking about?" I asked while tilting my head.

"Why are you calling me Gray? Can't you see I'm Atsui? And that's Gray over the-" Gray who says he's Atsui stopped to blink at Atsui who looked dumbfounded as well.

"Um...HOW AM I HERE AND THERE AT THE SAME TIME?!" Gray yelled at Atsui.

"WHY AM I YELLING AT ME?!"

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY DO YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ME?!"

"NO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S IN MY BODY DUDE!"

"CAN EVERYBODY SHUT UP?!"

Hira.....just yelled at the top of her lungs???.....Hira never raises her voice....what the hell is happening to all of them??

We all looked at Hira in surprise.

"What?" She snapped at us.

"Hira...I never heard you shout like that...." I told her.

"Huh? But I'm Manaka not Hira."

"EHHHHHHH??????"

I glanced at Manaka to find her looking down at her hands weirdly...

"Those...aren't my usual icy cold hands..." she mumbled to herself.

I blinked in even more confusion and glanced at Leon...maybe he can help me figure out-...er...."

I....Leon is searching through his mouth for something I guess?

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"Lookin for ma fangs...they seemed to've disappeared or somethin an' that's irritatin me,
ya know?"

"Leon...what happened to your British accent...and what fangs?"

"Leon? Do ya see me as a ball of lion fur Erika?"

I stared at him in silence.

"Erika...can't ya see I'm Rufus?"

RUFUS?????

My head hurts from all of this!

"If YOU are Rufus then where is the REAL Leon?"

"Right here." I turned to the voice who was talking to find...Uh...Rei?
