One Test To Another

“Come on Onii-……Onee-chan! We’re late.”

“Relax, Touka. There is ample of time for us to get there.”

This morning, this is the first time being a girl. Wait, I know you thinking, ‘But are you already did live as a girl through Touka?’

Yes, I did live a life as a girl through Touka. Touka is also me, literally. I still controlling her. But if you in my position, controlling Touka now, it’s like my second nature to live a life. Maybe I develop a second personality through Touka, but I think that’s okay. Because if it’s not, I will definitely in difficult position than this.

“Do you monologuing to yourself, Onii-chan? What do you monologuing anyway.”

“You already know what am I monologuing.”

“I mean, yeah. But still, if you tell about it with your own mouth, it would be nice.”

“Yeah I agree with you. But what I were monologuing earlier is not safe for a public hear.”

“ah.” Touka shocked expression is priceless to me.

“Alright you got me, Onii-chan.”

She’s defeated. LOL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This test is…… stressing.

Why do I have to do this when someone is try to change the rules of the world?

It’s for your future, Touka. Bear with it.

Uuggghh. Okay, big bro.

I know that was sarcasm, but holy, that was the first time she called me ‘big bro’ instead of Onii-chan. It’s not important, but at least it’s there.

*Ding dong*

“Alright class, times up. Time to end your test and congratulation, this is the last test you’ve been through this month. Don’t forget to keep learning anything. The answer sheet must be on my desk after this. I’ll see you in the next session.”

Finally the test is done.

Touka ask me, “Did you want to try something again in home, Onee-chan?”

“Yeah, I want to try it. But I hope…”

I paused for a second because I’m doubting myself.

“You hope what?” Rina ask me out of nowhere. Maybe because she is also curious.

“What, what. What are you guys talking about?” Kai also curious as well. Well, typical Kai.

“Well, I try to do something. Well, to be honest technically Shiro did.”

“Shiro did what to you?” Kai asking.

“Wait. Kai did you not noticed Souta?” Rina asking Kai, because I know Rina knew what happened to me.

“What about her? Something changed about her? If it is, I think I didn’t noticed.”

We paused for a seconds. Because we’re confused.

“Wait, Kai-san. Did you doesn’t know what’s happened to….” Touka stopped for a second, she get close to Kai, and whisper, “….Onii-chan?”

Kai replied to Touka, “What do you mean Onii-chan?”

We baffled. Kai doesn’t know what I change to myself.

“Wait….that’s it. Kai can become my catalyst!”

“Wha…what do you mean catalyst. And what catalyst?”

“More like a benchmark, Onii-chan.”

“Bench-… what do you guys talking about, really. I need to know!”

I confidently say to him, “Did you have time after this?”

“Yeah, I do have.”

“Good, come to my apartment. I’ll explain in there.”

With concern Kai answered, “O….okay. I will come.”

“Good. Now one problem solved.”

Now the real problem is what next.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Okay, so I understand what do you mean and what do you want guys. But, WHY I NEED TO BE HANDCUFFED AND ROPED IN THE CHAIR!!!”

“So you don’t get a chance to get away, Kai-san. Sorry.”

“No I get it. But still why!!??”

“Ah, that just because I want to do it anyway.”

“Souta, you bastard!!!”

Rina commented as well, “Sorry Kai, to be honest, I also want to do it too.”

“Rina too!? Oh my god.”

“Yes! Shiro here.”

“No…not… wait, you indeed a god, but not what I meant.”

“Okay, Kai. I’m done. What do you feel?”

“Let off me!!! I’m not feeling anything than this rope and this handcuff!”

Kai trying to let himself free. Wiggling, shaking, well, anything to make him free.

I let Kai free, I’m done joking with him. Although to be honest, it was funny.

“Alright for a real stuff. What do you feel?”

“Really, I don’t feel anything.”

“I see, well. See your hand.”

Kai look at his hand curiously, and he still not realizing what happened to his own hand.

“Really, I don’t. What changed?”

I show him a photo before I changed his hand.

“Oh, Okay. That’s a reaaaally manly hand.”

“What about yours?” Rina ask him.

“Me, look at this. This…….”

Now, he is realized what happened.

“Don’t tell me, that hand in the photo, is my own hand!!??”

“Yes.” “Yes.” “Yes. It i!” “Yes. It was!” Answer us almost harmonically.

I changed his hand into a full blown a girl-soft hand.

“Wait…. but I thought…”

“I mean, that was kinda the main point.” Shiro commenting on Kai’s thought.

“I agree.”

“Who is gonna believe the story you are being changed by someone who is not “God”.”

“Fair enough. People will freaking out when they know someone capable to do this.”

Shiro flick her finger, and out of nowhere we just like teleported to her sofa while holding a cup of tea.

“Now. I will tell you all something. Something that will be a surprise for you all.”

“Tell me.” I said while sipping my tea.

“Alright. Because of what I did, yesterday, I officially can do any edits on the code itself.”

We paused because 1. We thought that Shiro already can from the beginning; 2. Even if she is allowed today, she was already toying us from the beginning. In fact, if not because of her, I will not being splitted in the first place.

Rina, place her hand in her cheek and stretch it out.

“Ouch ouch ouch….. What are you….Shtoopp.”

“So the point was you were playing with us since the beginning you useless!”

Rina stretch her cheek like it’s a really smooth marshmallow. It kinda reminds me how she, stretch my cheek back in the day when we still a kindergartener.

“Alright….alright, Rina. I’m sorry. I will not do that again. One’s promise.”

“Promise?”

Shiro nod her head and Rina release her hand from Shiro’s cheek.

“Looking her like that, it’s like Shiro is a lesser god.”

I complete Kai sentence with, “Or, she is like not a god.”

“True.”

“There, Onii-chan, Kai-san. Don’t badmouthing someone.”

“Sorry.” “Sorry.”

There is an instant relaxation after that intense world change right there. But now, deep inside my thought, I were thinking,

How I turn everything back like it supposed to. Like before I were myself without Touka?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was exhausted. This day is really take the toll both of me. Touka is already in her bed, while me still thinking how to resolve all issue we had.

I realize Touka is awake, take a pillow with her and get to my bedroom.

“Onee-chan, can I sleep with you.”

“Sure, we….uumm. We both girls right now. Come on.”

I goes to the bed, followed by Touka. She is really exhausted.

“Good night, Onee-chan.”

“Good night, Touka.”

I try to sleep. But for some reason I can’t shut my eyes. Not a surprise that Touka is also can’t sleep.

“Hey, Onee-chan.”

“Yeah, what’s up, Touka?”

“Are you really want to change Kai-san’s first love?”

“Yeah, I mean, did you want to.”

“Ummm. I’m not sure.”

“Then, I will change it.”

“But I’m scared as well. I mean, now One-“

Touka stopped for a moment to correct herself, “…-Onii-chan is now a girl. We’re twins, of course. But, to me. You are still my Onii-chan.”

“Touka….”

I pat her head and through her, I feel the warmth of my own hand.

“Whatever happened I’m still be me.”

“I know that. But that’s what I meant!”

She put her hand in my body, hugging me. I can feel myself being hugged and hug.

“Even though Onii-chan were me. But I hope you can do whatever you want as yourself.”

“Hey, hey. How much time were spending together. It’s like we’re being separated for a long time.”

“I don’t know. I don’t know why I feel like this.”

She push herself for a little to give us a room.

“But, maybe because I were your deep desire. Desire to be accompanied.”

She is right. I were alone. My parents is going to another countries for a numerous of time. I know I still have Kai and Rina, and my other friend as well. But that all was over when a night called inside my apartment. At the time like that, I really alone.

“Onii-chan. Now I’m here.”

For some reason my eye let out the tears out of nowhere.

Touka wipe my tears, “So, don’t be sad anymore. Okay?”

I nod to her.

“Yeah. Thank you. And welcome home, Touka.”

“No, no….. there is a correct word of that.”

“Yeah, sorry.”

I wipe the rest of my tear and clear my throat.

“Welcome home, Touka.”

Touka smiled when I say that.

“I’m home. Onii-chan.”
