All Because of You Chapter 2

ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

CHAPTER 2 OF THE MANGA

(Story Note---Chapter 2 is a continuation of the story that began in Chapter 1. Omake 1.5 occurs prior to Chapters 1 & 2.)

In a most embarrassing situation, involving a cute stray cat, both Ryou-kun and Nagisa-chan change gendered personalities, right out in public on the sidewalk. Fortunately, nobody realized what was happening, or if they did, decided not to say anything. After the unexpected transformations, it is now male Ryou-kun laying on the sidewalk, wearing the female school uniform, and female Nagisa-chan on top of him, wearing the male school uniform. Quite the dilemma. Male Ryou-kun barks out for female Nagisa-chan to get off of him, like right now ! Nagisa-chan apologizes, as she gets up. She says that she is okay, but remarks that Ryou-kun wearing the girl's uniform is quite the eye-catching appearance right now ! He gets up from the sidewalk and announces that the two of them need to switch uniforms immediately. They both head for public restrooms that are nearby. A businessman, dressed in a suit and tie and walking by in the other direction, casts a critical and jaundiced eye at Ryou-kun wearing girl's clothing out in public. What else could go wrong today ?

Thankfully, the restroom building had a separate gender-neutral bathroom. Ryou-kun and Nagisa-chan both go inside and lock the door. Inside, it is a bit cramped and crowded, but that can't be helped. Both stand next to each other, back-to-back, and begin undressing. Male Ryou-kun is aghast at the thought that Senpai is changing out of her male clothes right behind him. In fact, they unexpectedly keep bumping into each other in the small room. Nagisa-chan hands over to Ryou-kun the male uniform, but unknowingly bumps his backside with her plump boobs. Ryou-kun goes nuts, but keeps it to himself. As Ryou-kun is putting on the male shirt, he notices that the shirt smells like Senpai. So distracting. He then tells Nagisa-chan that if the girl's clothing is sweaty from him, he has antiperspirant in his school bag. Nagisa-chan casually remarks that the female uniform is in fact, heavy with his scent. That, for some reason, excites male Ryou-kun, touching off another transformation, this time from male to female. Both Nagisa-chan and Ryou-chan are now females, with Nagisa-chan finishing up dressing in the girl's uniform, and female Ryou-chan is stuck wearing the male school uniform. Nagisa-chan offers to trade back, but Ryou-chan exasperatedly declines.

Leaving the restrooms, female Ryou-chan is in the male uniform, and female Nagisa-chan is in the female uniform. Nagisa-chan takes a shortcut through the city streets, one that Ryou-chan was unaware of. Nagisa-chan remarks that they always go this way when they get off of work and leave the café. Soon, Nagisa-Senpai turns to Ryou-chan, and nonchalantly speculates that rumor has it that you, Ryou, like me, don't you ? Ryou-chan is taken by surprise, and tries to stammer something, but the words would not come out. Nagisa-chan calmly states matter-of-factly that she can't respond to any feelings of love. Not at all ! Ryou-chan silently thinks to herself that apparently she has already been 'shot down' regarding a Love Confession, even before it was offered to Nagisa-chan.

Ryou-chan shyly asks if there is someone else that she likes ? Nope ! Plus, she does not want to talk about the subject of love right now. This because she, Nagisa-chan, does not really know what her correct Gender Identity is. She was born with TSS, making her a Bigender person from birth. As a child growing up, she always knew that her sex and gender characteristics were undefined and unstable. Although after puberty, Nagisa came to understand that they will only change back and forth between male and female, with no other alternate identities, but with no 'middle ground'. However, she still did not know what her original Gender Identity was supposed to be at birth. Also, constantly changing meant that she would not know the correct feelings of romance from others, be it same or opposite sex attractions. That is why Nagisa has always turned away all shipping offers or romantic interests / feelings.

Ryou-chan is dumbfounded. Nagisa-chan wraps things up by saying that you, Ryou-chan, should not try and express love towards me ! Ryou-chan takes note of the increditably lonely look on Nagisa-chan's face, but says nothing. Yet, Ryou-chan tells herself that she can't back down now. Ryou-chan takes Nagisa-chan's hand into hers, as they both hold hands in front of a staircase. Ryou-chan confesses that she knows that there are no correct answers to the dilemma right now, but Nagisa-chan baring her soul to Ryou-chan makes Ryou-chan love her all the more. Still holding hands, Ryou-chan boldly proclaims that if Nagisa-chan does not know how to express or receive feelings of love, then she, Ryou-chan, will befriend her and let her know *what it feels like to give and receive love !* Nagisa-chan says that is the first time she has ever heard that kind of compassion and empathy. Nagisa-chan gently squeezes Ryou-chan's hand in emphasis. However, that is the emotional jolt that triggers yet another transformation in Ryou, this time from female, back to male. Active today, aren't we !?! Nagisa-chan smiles sweetly at male Ryou-kun, and tells him that she is looking forward to that kind of love experiences. Then again, at least the uniforms match now !

Nagisa-chan and Ryou-kun continue walking back to the student dormitory building. Once there, Nagisa-chan explains how the dormitory has been set up. The tower on the left is the boys-only section. The tower on the right is the girls-only section. The narrow three story building that connects the two towers is a special area that is a shared space. This special area is used mainly by administration, staff, and visitors. However, there is a single student dorm room there, unique to itself, with double accomodations. One needs their student I.D. to enter each section of the domitory building. Ryou-kun remarks that it would be hard on someone if they lost their I.D., wouldn't it ? Nagisa-chan replies, in that case, one would consult with the Dorm Mother or the Dorm Supervisor. Both students use their own I.D.'s to enter the main lobby's double doors, and then Nagisa-chan leads Ryou-kun to the one and only student room in the special area, the room with the double accomidations.

"Here's your room !", remarks Nagisa-chan, when the two step through the room's door. Ryou-kun exclaims that it really is a double room, as there are two beds in the room, two desks, and two easy chairs. So, Ryou-kun sees that one of the beds obviously would be his, but who is going to be in the other bed ?

Nagisa-chan very casually and nonchalantly remarks, ever so coyly---

"Starting today, *I am your new roommate !"*
