Jason had picked up the parts of the strange blade and looked at the one and only clue she had. The name of a company known as ‘Sioga’. A name that was now burned into his mind as his one and only clue to finding some solution to this problem. His first instinct was to find out where this company was and go there and perhaps get a new blade with a way to turn back to normal.
Feeling his- her- hands covering around his ears. A shift of the fingers and the strange sense of vetigo. Motion was no longer linked to well..
His body… her body? He.. she.. was in a very confused state. Perhaps more so then her cousin Lucy who did not have to deal with a gender change on top of loosing her head. This couldn’t possibly get weirder. ‘He’ was linked to ‘his’ female body- and that body was his- or hers- but given that his head was separate it seemed in his mind anyway to be more distinctly male. Yet of course everyone treated him as female since it made sense that one body was of one gender- but he was of a body in two pieces! There was literally no way to figure out a pronoun to work in this situation.
His head was picked up by her- her hands. Her.. actions to protect him and was in no doubt feeling that same confusion. That same uncertainty of what it was they were. “I’m going to lose my head Lucy,” Jason admitted.
“Well- you kinda already did,” She giggled. “So did I though.”
Jason would have looked down- but the instinct to move her hands in such a way to make that apparent was not exactly a natural compulsion. “This isn’t really a time for jokes!” Her hands gripped his head tightly- instead. she- him- urgh! For simplicity sake it was probably best to refer to her as a her for now. Everyone else was. “I need to use search for this Sioga corporation.” She said determined.
Jason’s female body sat down on the chair cradling her head. Though.. she needed to use her hands to type? Where could her head go? She became a little dizzy as her body tried to set her on the desk only to slightly lean into the left. “Ah-” Her hand reached to steady her... Eventually her body just put her on her lap and started typing.
Jason realising how close she was to this weird copy of Lucy’s body ended up doing a super blush.. that echoed into a warmth from the body too.
“Aw you look cute like that!” Lucy thought idly at an ire look from Jason. “Sorry cuz! It’s just you do look weird. I guess I’ve never seen it from the outside. Did I really look so awkward?” Her own body gave a shrug and casually picked up her head and started to juggle it between her hands. “See? It’s all easy! Just let your body do what it’s gotta do and trus- eep!” Her hand almost missed but she caught it with her other hand. “Trust it!” She laughed again with her head now upside down.
Jason had to guess that probably her cousin was blessed lacking middle ears. How was she supposed to work like this! “But how.. can I trust it.. I mean- it’s not really my body.”
“Well it is now.” Lucy shrugged. “Come on it must be at least a little bit interesting?”
Jason did not reply. He looked back to the screen while her body typed away. “Sioga corporation… no listed company found.” She frowned raising her hand to tap her lip- only to get a weird fuzzy feeling of air dancing on her fingers. Shocked a little she leaned back in thought letting her thighs spread outward slightly. Jason suddenly ended up sandwiched in her own feminine thighs and emitted a muffled a cry. “Eek!” Her body quickly picked her up again dutifully.
“What’s with you!” Jason demanded.
“Me?” Lucy asked.
“Not you! Her! My body!”
“So… you? You are asking what’s up with you?” The girl asked making her hands tilt her own head a bit in an exaggerated pose. Just for kicks she used one of her hands to physically raise an eyebrow.
“Yes- I mean no! I mean-” She felt her body calm her down by running her hands over her head again. Why did it feel so nice.. she- closed her eyes as her tension ebbed away. “You seem to have such… control over your body, why can’t I!”
“Maybe you’re trying to hard?” Lucky thought. “I’m not really thinkin’ about it. Just do what I usually do. Seems to work out just fine. Think about it like this. You don’t decide to breathe but you can decide to hold your breath for a while. You’re not in control of everything you do. You just need to let your body do things.”
“But that’s a girl’s body!” Jason wondered if she had to even explain the problem. “Think about it Lucy, how would you feel if your body was suddenly turned into a guy but you’re head was a girls?”
Lucy looked at that thought and gave the strangest expression Jason had ever seen in her cousin. The strange votex of energy swirling at the top of her body became quite energetic. “Well…”
“No- I don’t want to know. Jeez!” The image made her close her eyes.
The evening continued… and still no progress. Jason tapped away on the computer using all the searches she could while Lucy started playing with her head, idly throwing herself gently upwards into the air while her body caught her. She was doing this on the bed so that if she were to have an accident she would be fine… but she was getting bored. “I’m gonna go to bed now Jace, you’ll be okay yeah?” She gave a soft smile.
“Huh? Oh- yeah sure. Just got to continue research...”
Lucy gave a saddened look but nodded. “Okay.. don’t stay up too late. Your head might get too tired for your body to do much.”
It was now well passed midnight. Still The internet search continued. Perhaps it was because of how separate his brain was from his body that he could do nothing but think about it. He watched those slender fingers tap away- looked annoyed as it missed a keystroke. How many times would it misspell the only word they were searching for!
She started to look at passed companies that went by Sioga. There were a few of them mostly in the eastern side of the planet. A lot of words he couldn’t read or understand. He contemplated if she should send an E-mail but.. something told her to be cautious. This strange blade had ended up in her hands and this was the result. Who knew what other stuff they had… or was this the only thing they made?
The girl’s body started to rub her hands and was slumping onto the desk.
“Hey- come on wake up!” Jason shouted.
The body seemed to suddenly move ‘looking around’ if a body could in confusion- tiredness was causing both head and body to become un-synked. Eventually Jason’s body simply picked up her head. She was sure she didn’t command it to. “Hey- what are you doing-”
The body set her head onto a pillow and curled up into bed with her. Maybe subconsciously she thought of it? “… I guess… we could take a break,” Jason thought yawning and closing his eyes. “Maybe just for.. a bit...”
she closed her eyes.. and finally allowed herself to rest.
Jason felt something weird… it was morning- ish. Light was flowing into the window. He was feeling a facefull of-something rather.. soft? “huh?” Her- body’s breasts! At realising this ‘her’ body suddenly grabbed her head and set it aside- both somehow trying to recover from the feeling of discomfort translating between the two. Jason knew that her body was only trying to help but.. she couldn’t help feeling uncomfortable with the fact that she had this body to do.. things for her. Of course her body was confused by why her own head would be uncomfortable with her own body too. Jason sensed the shared confusion and tried to ease it a bit.
“It’s.. okay. We- I’m- okay.” It seemed to be something her body needed to hear- or feel? The headless torso started to reach across herself.. touching her bosom curiously. She had been curious for a while.. feeling the chest out.
Jason watched in quiet awe… the sensations of it while watching it- he bit his lip. “W-Well- um- I- shouldn’t-”
Yet her body continued.. sensing that it seemed to help her head. It made them feel whole? Well- they were as one really… but sometimes they acted like they were not/ She began to touch her supple thighs.. and reaching a little curiously towards her nether regions-
“Wait-” Jason gulped. “I shouldn't.” Ethically this was a copy of her cousin’s body for one!
Her body stopped. It complied and was perhaps just as confused as Jason. It felt good… didn’t it? Why not just feel it out? Her body got up from bed and Jason looked at it. The fact was that this looked just like her cousin’s body… her cousins! Identical in every way right down to that small mole on her thigh. If anyone saw them naked they really couldn’t tell them apart!
Her mobile phone rang. She glanced to the table and reached out with her hand to grab it without thinking- or rather her body did. Carefully cradling her head as it picked her up, resting one head on the phone.. and the other head onto her chest awkwardly near her breast.
“Uh- hello?” Jason blushed even before saying anything.
“Hey cuz!” Lucy’s voice called out. “Just want to see how my favourite semi identical twin is doing! I wasn’t sure if you would answer the phone.”
“Dealing with my body is- hard.” Jason admitted. “I have a few leads though on this company. I might have an old address- you want to come along? We can fix this.”
“Fix it? Jason I had the best night sleep I ever had! My head was kept all nice and warm- and my body could concentrate on being in the best position for it- man! I never had a sleep like that in ages.”
Jason thought back of her own attempts at rest. It did come rather quickly but… her own attempt to sleep was- well- not quite like that but it did feel oddly comfortable in a surreal way. “So are you going to pull a sicky in school?”
“Huh? Why would I! I want to see how my friends react. Come on you’re not going to do that are you? We can go see this company place afterwards.”
Jason groaned. Maybe it was best to go to school first though…
Jason… as Jasmine got ready for school awkwardly. Though she did quietly realise that she didn’t actually need to be around while her body refreshed itself and got ready. In fact it was probably best she didn’t. She had to take a shower… cradling her head near the sink she looked at her female body.
“I could… uh...” She anxiously started to take off her garments. She had not thought of clothes and slept in the same things she had sense her transformation. So.. she needed a shower now and to dress and- she needed to get naked to do any of that. “Eep!” Jason blushed as the body lifted some of her top showing a slender stomach. Her cousin wasn’t ‘hot’ as such.. but she was a girl-
“I shouldn’t. Look you just shower- I’ll stay.. outside or something.” her body gently lifted her head and set it down awkwardly back in her room.
Jason sighed. “Perfect. My body can go wash herself and I don’t have to worry about lookieeeeeeee!” She gasped. Her body had just gone to the bathroom to do what anyone would do. It- it was weird. So weird. Why was she feeling this! She sighed as it was over quite quickly though a few ‘tense’ moments she could finally get on with the rest of what she had to do.
“Okay, thank goodness that’s over,” She grimaced. She needed a cure. She needed this fixed! “At least the worse is oveeeeeeee!” Water running down her new body as she took a shower. She could feel it running across her breasts, drops of water against her sensitive skin. She felt her body stop as it cringed reacting to her head’s thoughts of the situation.
“Urgh… just.. do it slowly,” Jason said as she sensed her body slowly turn on the shower again. “Huh.. this is.. actually..kinda nice,” She blushed. She could feel the soap running across her form now. Gently guiding her hands over and- she glanced at the time. This was taking forever!
Finally her body put on a robe and returned to the bedroom. She lifted up her head and started to also run it in the shower. Her hair was wet and she washed her face. It was a little weird taking a shower like this but… yeah. It was done.
More awkwardness as she put on her casual clothes… opening her drawer she found some bras and did a sideways glance. She didn’t even know how to put them on. Would her body? She glanced to it as the hands awkwardly worked on the strange article of clothing. Why did it have to be so complicated!
Jason was finally at school. She saw her cousin there casually chatting to her friends as if what happened was normal. For a moment she was awestruck at just how easily her cousin was handling this!
“Hey Jasmine!” Lucy smiled. She gestured to her friends. “You all know my cousin right?”
“Heya!” A girl smiled.
“Nice to see you again!” A second nodded.
Jason was lost in the sea of faces as she was looking ‘up’ at them. It was easy for them not having to carry their own heads around like she and Lucy did! “Uh- hi.”
“This is Carrie, Mary and Lisa!” Lucy smiled. “We’re just catching up.”
“Yeah Lucy was always ‘a head’ of us!” Lisa smiled.
Jason groaned. “Uh- I really can’t stay. I do have a homework assignment to-” She raised her eyes. “Oh crap my homework! I forgot to do it!” In all that happened how could she even have the time. Damn- no this wasn’t good!
“Maybe you can ask for an extension?” Lucy said.
Though Jason had an idea. She could get a bit of help from her friend. “I’ll be back.. just got to talk to someone.” She started to walk towards the library. She had a bit of time.. she could probably do some of it at a lunch break.
“So come on, you ever gonna tell us about her? You used to live next door to her right?” A student looked to another young man.
Dean looked up and grimaced. He was a relatively ordinary looking teenager. Short black hair and wore glasses. “I… can’t.” He frowned. “Well- yeah we were kids… doing stupid kid stuff.” He looked reluctant and perhaps even embarrased.
“I can tell you about it!” Harry said with a wicked gleam in his eye. He was not quite a jock but physically fit. He seemed to like his hair a bit longer though with a stylish blonde style.
Dean frowned. “Come on man don’t do this...” He looked down and saddened.
Harry however was going to spill all. “Dean and I were friends living nearby. We came up with this idea right? We thought it would be hilarious to take her head for a bicicle ride.”
“It was messed up dude!” Dean suddenly shouted. “She never wanted to talk to me again after that. Her mother .. was really mad at me.”
Harry shrugged. “Freaks be freaky,” He stated.
Dean sighed. He would have done anything to make it up to her. Anything! However Jasmine said she would never speak to him again after that. All those times they chatted and.. it was just one stupid prank- He distanced himself from Harry after that too. Dean didn’t have quite so many friends.
“Hi Dean?” Jasmine called out to him.
“J-Ja-Jasmine!” Dean gasped. She was talking to him? Also she looked.. different. There was no anger in her eyes. No hatred.. did that mean she had forgiven him?
“Uh, why are you looking at me like that?” Jasmine asked.
“He’s in love with your head,” Harry shrugged.
“Harry- Dude!” Dean cried out.
“What? It’s obvious. We can share her if you want. I really only like her body.” He stuck out his tongue to Jasmine who- while normally she would just get angry and run off, was now just looking very confused.
Jasmine.. or Jason looked at the two. She had not expected her friends to be so different. Harry was usually very sweet… kind of shy perhaps. Yet here he was talking like crap- and Dean was normally very smart- he looked the part at least but he was also extremely nervous.
‘Did my reality really change so much?’ Jasmine wondered. “Look- Dean I need a favor-”
“Anything!” Dean said. “Just.. you know I want to move on from- that day.”
“That day? Oh.. don’t worry. I- I’ve already forgotten about it.”
Dean’s heart suddenly beat faster. She was forgiving him?” Then perhaps he had a chance! Perhaps he could be friends with the most interesting girl he had ever laid eyes on…
Harry however was just staring at Jasmine’s body and glanced to Dean. He whispered to his friend. “Hey, if you do take her on a date, let me date her body. She’s pretty much the perfect girlfriend for sharing.”
Dean just groaned.
