A little bit reluctantly, she took his arm and let herself be lead towards the school and the mentioned dorms.
Rika pulled out a bundle of keys out of her uniform's pockets which she discovered a tad bit earlier unlocking the dorm's front door.
Removing her shoes, she let go of Takamiya's arm and went upstairs to the door number displayed on the room key.
A sign next to the door announced the names of the inhabitants: "Aoyama, Kurosaki"

"I believe we now live here...", she mumbled and opened the door entering the living room compartment of the dorm room. "Ooh, spacey...!"
She moved further to the sleeping compartment. This one, though, looked a bit more confined, not uncomfortably so, but rather comfy. However, currently there only was one big bed with blue covers in the room, which meant she would have to sleep with Taka in one bed, which would not have been a problem before her change, but now, it felt a little bit embarrassing. Not that it was anything she wouldn't be able to get used to at some point.

"Taka... we got a small problem here...", she called out.

(( extra long post to make up for stuff ))

"Keys, huh." Takamiya said. "Strange. This was all planned for sure."

As Rika walked upstairs, Takamiya did the same thing as her and took his shoes off. Afterwards, he slowly followed her upstairs, asking "what's wrong?" he walked in and looked around. "Ha, nice place." When he came to the bedroom, he stopped and muttered "oh... I see..." He stopped in his tracks and looked towards Rika. "So," he grinned. "I guess I've got to sleep with you, huh?" he chuckled. "No need to feel awkward!" He jumped onto the bed, causing it to creak a little. He motioned to his right. "Come on. Sit down. I think better when I'm sitting down."

He brought his hands together thoughtfully, interlocking them, and extended his two forefingers to rest his chin on them. He knitted his brow. "Do you see any paper and pens around? It's time to brainstorm." He found paper and a pen swiftly - it was lying on the cabinet beside the bed. "So what do we know so far? Well, we know we're in Japan. We know we're in Nagoya, in fact. We also know that at least some people recognise you. Unless that person was a victim of the mage too." he scribbled on the paper. "It seems increasingly likely that that wizard or magician or mage or whatever you want to call him that changed you changed you for a purpose - whether that purpose was a reasonable thing, or just a game to him, is something we don't know. We know that something happened to a girl here a few years ago. We also know that we've lost pieces of our memories. Not exactly sure which parts though. Which is scary. He could have implanted fabricated memories into the both of us. Hmm." He shifted his position so that his chin was now resting on his fist and not his fingers. "So what don't we know? Well we don't know who our families are. Neither of us remember them." he paused. "Or at least, we don't know where we used to live before this-" he motioned to Rika, the window and around the room "-happened. Nor do we know why this happened. Or who did it. Ugh." he scratched his head. "We don't know anything right now."
He held the paper to the light, one side boldly stating their knowns and the other showing many more unknowns. "Well, I suppose we should go get a timetable from like reception or something. You coming? We'd better get taught some stuff. Unless you have anything else we know or don't know?"

Rika did feel a little awkward sitting next to Taka on the bed, but immediately felt relaxed when they talked about things.
"Uh, yeah. I'm coming!"
She jumped from the bed and followed Takamiya into the lobby where the dorm mother had returned.
"Ah, I see you two have arrived safely. What do you need."
Rika spoke up. "We kinda need our timetables."
The dorm mother smiled and handed them two sheets of paper. "I have taken the liberty and put you two into the same class. Classes start on Monday. Today's Friday, so the things your parents sent will arrive tomorrow. Is there anything else you need?"
Rika shook her head and looked at Takamiya waiting for his response.

It's all just too convenient, Takamiya thought, but he decided not to say anything. He nodded too. "Yeah, we're all good," he said. "I wonder what our-" he paused "-"parents" have sent us. It's like Christmas." He smiled at the dorm mother sickly-sweet. "Oh, and Miss? Where are we allowed to go on the campus?" After she answered, he nodded. "So pretty much anywhere, as long as we get to our lessons on time. Cool." He ushered Rika back into their room. "Remember - it's better to be a teacher's pet than to get in trouble all the time. Then they never expect you to do anything bad and you can do whatever you want!" he giggled a little. "Oh man, this is gonna be fun."

Rika looked up at him smirking. "I see you've already planned something again. Don't leave me out just because I'm a girl, yes?" Again Rika did her, now one could say, trademark playful punch, this time to his chest.
"Whatever you have planned, I think I'm going to have a lot of fun, no matter what gender I am. Also... I'm starting to think, being a girl is not too different as from being a boy. At least when you have nothing to worry about on the bow, you get it?" She laughed. "Apart from that, I do notice the lack of stuff in my panties, especially since they're so snug on my body, but it doesn't seem to bother me as much as I thought it would." Unconsciously she slid her hand beneath her skirt and moved her hand along her panties.
"Soooo soft...", she whispered dreamily.

Takamiya laughed. "I wouldn't even think of such a thing as to leave you out!" He grinned at her punch. "I'll tell you in a bit. First we need to get stuff sorted ou..." he trailed off at seeing where Rika's hands had wandered. "Uhh... anyway!" He quickly looked away, embarrassed.

"What do you wanna do? We have the whole weekend to mess around. We could walk around campus and see where everything is, all the classrooms and things, all the leisure areas, all the other students... or, since it's the weekend, I take it we can go out of campus and explore Nagoya more. Ooh, ooh, we could go look at Nagoya Castle! I've never been before but I've heard it's pretty cool!" he smiled back at Rika, remembered what she had been doing, and looked quickly away again.

Rika blushed when she noticed what she had done. "Uhhhhhh... uhh... sorry..." She coughed a bit and then caught herself. "Uh, Nagoya Castle sounds fun. It's certainly been a while since I last been there. Maybe we'll even make it to the firearms demonstration. I heard it's supposed to be pretty fun to watch. After that we can head somewhere to eat stuff. How does that sound?" After a bit, she added. "And yes, I will try to stop touching myself...", she uttered blushing once more. "But I can't promise that you won't fall for me or I will for you. You'll never know how much stuff has changed..."

Takamiya laughed once more. "No need to apologise!" He walked to the door. "Nagoya Castle it is, then. Ooh this is going to be awesome!" Before walking out of the door, he looked in the full-body mirror which hung in the hallway leading to their snug little home. "I've just realised something," he said. "I don't have any uniform. I never bought any. Or any other clothes apart from these, in fact. Well that needs to be addressed soon. Oh well, we'll worry about it later. Then you can do some more clothes shopping," he grinned.

"Also, we're probably gonna need some kind of job soon or we'll run out of money pretty quick."

At Rika's next utterance, he was unable to control his laughter. "Nobody ever said anything about falling for each other~" he teased. "Maybe you've already fallen for me~"

Without another word, he zipped up his hoodie, threw the hood onto his head and walked away, leaving Rika to follow.

A very red Rika followed behind him. "Am not!", she pouted following the hooded boy. A couple of silent street corners later, Rika piqued up again.
"So, uh, what do you plan to do about the job thing? I mean... I could work in a maid café or something, but I don't know if I'd be comfortable with that."
The time it took for Takamiya to respond, she took to take a good look at him.
To be completely honest, she was scared of what she actually felt when she stared at him. She loved starting at him, that was for certain and his lovely face always seemed to fluster her, but at the same time it lifted her spirits by an incredible amount every time he looked at her. Yes, it was scary, but at the same time, it felt natural, as if she always swung that way.
Now though, she looked at Takamiya waiting for him to have a stroke of genius.

Takamiya thought for a while. Finally, he turned to Rika and slowly asked, "Are there any vacancies at the castle? As tour guides, I mean. You seem to know the area well. I'm sure you could teach me about it and then we could both get a job there... maybe?" he looked at her expectantly. "What do you think? You're young, you're a girl, you're pretty, you're extroverted... I see no reason why they wouldn't hire you. And then you could recommend me to them. Although I would certainly need to brush up on Nagoya's history." he started walking towards Nagoya Castle once more. "Not a bad idea, if I do say so myself!" he called over his shoulder.

Once they reached the Castle, he looked around outside. He could see many different leaflets, flyers and newspapers strewn about the floor where people had littered, but no signs advertising an open space as a tour guide, let alone two. Takamiya slumped a little. "Damn. Well, maybe they'll tell us if we ask. Maybe."

Rika shook her head. "That won't work either. Look here: 'Currently not employing tour guides!' We have to think of something else..."
Of course Rika noticed Takamiya being down in the dumps because of it and immediately glomped Taka hugging him. "Don't worry, we'll get something. For a while we can live off what I still have on my bank account and in cash. Let's just go and buy you the uniform for now."

Still being fairly close to him, she tugged him behind her to the school outfitting store she knew was located rather close. She shoved him into the store and gave the store clerk her student ID, so she could sort out the correct uniform.

"Dang, you're looking good in that uniform, dude!", Rika exclaimed after seeing him coming out of the changing room.

Takamiya sighed. "Damn. I can't think of anything then. Do you have any ideas at all?"

When Rika ushered him into the store he did not expect it at all. He almost fell over. "Oh we're going into here now okay that's cool," he said. He grabbed the uniform that bared their new school's logo and went into the changing room, coming out once he was changed.

He looked at himself in the mirror and burst out laughing at how ridiculous he looked. "Oh Rika," he laughed, "I look terrible! This is way too big for me!" He went looking for a smaller size. When he found one, he went back into the changing and came back out. He checked himself in the mirror once again. "Ahh. Much better. Phew. If I had gone to school in that, I don't know what people would have said!

"Anyway," he continued. "Let's buy it."

Once the two had bought the uniform, Takamiya and Rika went back out onto the streets. "So," he started, "wanna know what I was gonna do to prank the teacher?" He looked at Rika, a playful, mischievous glint in his eye.

Rika glanced at him and smirked. She really, really liked that look on his face right now.
"Oh, I so wanna know!", she chuckled as she heard her voice, albeit being a girl's voice, sounding so mean and vile.
"You think we'll be the famous school pranksters again? Like we did in every other school we were in before?"
At this point an idea popped up in Rika's head.
"You know... I think we even have more ways of pranking... now that I'm a girl. Aaaaaand, since you're the genius of our duo, you can probably think of many ways to implement me"
She smiled wickedly, but then faced him again. "So what was your idea?"
