### Chapter One: The Vanishing
In a secluded corner of Mt. Kashima, where the boundary between reality and dream thins, a sinister plot was silently unfolding. A boy, name long forgotten in the haze of another life, stood at the cusp of fate. He was an ordinary student with unremarkable features, save for the shadow he cast on the life of anotherāa bitter soul harboring jealousy and resentment.
The boy's name was Hazumu Osaragi, a student at Kashima High School. Upon receiving a nefarious curse from an envious peer well-versed in forbidden arcana, Hazumu's very essence was unraveled and rewoven into the fabric of another existence. The malevolent force reshaped his being, casting a dark pallor over the consciousness that was.
With arcane murmurs echoing through the trees, the boy's form started to morph. The familiar sense of self began to dissolve into a chaotic whirlwind of light and shadow. His skin shimmered, and a strange prickling sensation spread across his body. Bones ached and reshaped, flesh stretched and tightened, and delicate tresses of silky black hair sprouted effortlessly, cascading down his back with a gleam of lavender highlights.
The curse's magic was potent, altering not just Hazumu's physical form but reality itself. Memories were rewritten, timelines altered, and those who had known him now saw an ethereal girl in his placeāYasuna Kamiizumi, who had existed all along, seamlessly integrated into the world of Kashima High School.
### Chapter Two: The Haunting
Yasuna Kamiizumi awoke in her new form, oblivious to her previous life as Hazumu. Disturbing dreams lingered at the edges of her consciousnessāfragmented images of a life wrapped in shadow, leaving her with a persistent feeling of unease and dĆ©jĆ vu. Her reflection in the mirror had always been that of a sixteen-year-old girl with a rich beige complexion and hauntingly beautiful black hair.
The school bell tolled, her first day back at Kashima High after a nebulous, almost dreamlike event. Despite the seamless integration of her new identity, Yasuna carried an inexplicable sense of sorrow. Her pale fingers traced over her uniform; the silky material of her blouse whispered secrets she dared not decipher. Yasuna's eyes, dark blue-gray orbs that seemed to hold lakes of melancholy, glanced anxiously at the other students who offered smiles she found hard to reciprocate.
The hallways were labyrinthine, filled with faces. Some looked familiar, others like ghosts. Yasuna forced herself to move amidst them, her steps ethereal. She would meet her best friend Hazumu Osaragi who now stood beside her, unaware of the transposed reality that had placed Yasuna in her place.
### Chapter Three: The Lurking Fear
Daily life resumed its eerie cadence. Despite her luscious, seaweed-like hair swaying in the wind and her face sculpted to near fairy-tale perfection, Yasuna's mind harbored troubling thoughts. Her eyes often wandered, capturing fleeting shadows and indistinct movements. At home, she often felt the house echo with whispersāechoes of laughter, fragments of conversations half-remembered.
At Kashima High, Yasuna became known for her talentsāthe flute she played like a siren song, drawing in listeners with haunting melodies. Yet, a bone-chilling presence followed Yasuna, one she couldn't quite pin down. There were moments when she would feel eyes upon her, not those of her fellow students, but of something more sinister.
One autumn afternoon, while walking through the thickly wooded path behind the school, Yasuna stumbled upon a hidden clearing. The forest seemed to close around her, darkness creeping in. Her heart thudded in her chest as her eyes fell upon ancient, gnarled trees and a peculiar, unnatural rustling. She was drawn to a large, timeworn rock which seemed to exude an unnatural, chilling aura.
As she stood, transfixed by the eerie setting, a cold shiver ran down her spine. The sound of chanting flowed through the air, an incantation, more felt than heard. Yasuna's vision blurred, and before her stood the faint outline of a figureāa blending of the shadows and her fears. It was the entity who had cursed herāan ever-watchful specter, knowing but never revealing.
"Beware the keeper of your secrets, Yasuna," a voice hissed, barely audible yet unmistakably menacing.
#### Chapter Four: The Revelation
Time all but stood still, the horror sinking deeply into Yasuna's heart. She sensed an invisible force wrapping around her, constricting her very soul. Fear was almost tangible, and the past life she was unaware of called out from beneath the shroud of time.
Hazumu, her friend, and perhaps the only connection to a reality that once was, could sense Yasuna's disturbance. Together, in the bleary, suffocating libraries of Kashima High, they would stumble upon a dusty journal, a relic of the curse.
The journal contained scriptures of forbidden magic, unfinished rituals, and splintered tales of transmutation. Yasuna's heart raced as she read of a boy turned into a girl by a curseāa familiar story too eerie to dismiss. She recognized fragments of herself in the faded ink. Memories flooded back with the staccato heartbeat, bittersweet flashes of life once lived. Yasuna and Hazumu now faced the truthāa reality warped by envy and sinister sorcery.
With every passing moment, the curse's grip tightened. Yasuna felt her existence fracture, threatened to be swept away by the same malevolent dark power that had altered her fate.
### Chapter Five: Confrontation with the Shadows
The culmination arrived at the ominous site where the transformation had begun. The wind pierced through the clearing, wresting Yasuna and Hazumu's final stand against the entity that had bound Yasuna to her cursed fate. Both faced down the shadowy figure that manifested in the moonlit night, stepping through the forest's cold embrace.
"Reveal yourself!" Yasuna's voice cut through the midnight air, a demand not merely for identification but for an end to her suffering.
The envious boy, now a spectral puppeteer enshrined in darkness, emerged. Whispers escalated to roars, wind spiraling into a tempest. Yasuna's eyes mirrored determination and fear, clinging to her reality on the edge of oblivion.
"We will undo what you've wrought," Hazumu declared, standing by Yasuna's side, hand gripping an ancient artifact retrieved from the old journal.
As the curse weakened at the edges, the specter howled, thrashing wildly. The dark force began to fracture, dissipating into the void. In one final scream, it was banished, and with it, the magic curse was broken.
### Epilogue: The Awakening Light
With the entity's departure, the night gave way to dawn. Yasuna Kamiizumi awoke on the forest floor, the sun creeped through the trees, warming her pale skin. Her eyes blinked against the tearful, hopeful dawn. She remained in her beautiful and serene form, yet memories of once being Hazumu became a faint whisper in her soulāa haunting echo but no longer a defining curse.
Hazumu, now forever transformed into Yasuna, held a bittersweet smile. She moved forward, accepting the blend of lives past and present. Kashima High resumed its rhythm, and in the mirror, a girl's radiant face reflected resilience and strength.
The curse had been a shadow, but Yasuna Kamiizumi now stood as the girl who had conquered it, embracing the spirit of the mist-shrouded forests around Mt. Kashima. Amidst the darkness, she had found her true light.

Prompt: This is a story that take place in a kashimashi girl meets girl where Yasuna Kamiizumi does not exist but there will be one. Yasuna Kamiizumi is himashi Wiki Kashimashi Wiki Yasuna Kamiizumi Japanese ē„ę³ ććč Romaji Kamiizumi Yasuna Information Species Human Age 16 Gender Female (socially and romantically prefers other females) Hair Color Silky black Eye Color Dark blue-gray Occupation Student at Kashima High School Friends Hazumu Osaragi Significant Other(s) Acquaintance: Tomari Kurusu Voiced by Voiced by: Yui Horie (Japanese) Karen Strassman (English) More Yasuna Kamiizumi (ē„ę³ ććčKamiizumi Yasuna) is a student at Kashima high school and has been Hazumu's classmate since their first year of high school. Childhood Yasuna Kamiizumi was born into a rather well-to-do family. Both mother and father dearly loved her, and she was given every want and need when she was a young child by her kind and caring parents. However, as a result of a physical or psychological malady from early on, Yasuna has had a unique affliction which makes her incapable of seeing male's faces clearly. That is, to her, male's faces are seen as if she were looking at their faces though the gray, hazy lenses of a pair of badly scratched eyeglasses, which makes it extremely difficult for her to tell one male apart from another, except through the sound of their voice. Due to this restraint, in elementary school, middle school, and beyond, she was never able to get along well with other students; on top of not being able to see the boys in her classes. The girls who would normally interact with male students were different socially from Yasuna, which also built up a divide between her and them, as well as being distanced from male teachers and everyone else. Also, because Yasuna had come to not being able to see her own father, she gradually grew distant from him and her mother, as well as the fact that as Yasuna became older and able to care for herself, her parents would spend more and more time away from her with various business and leisure activities. Throughout her later childhood, and her teen/tween years, Yasuna ended up staying at home virtually alone, and she thought she did not mind it; because she did not intend to befriend or socialize with anyone, anyway. Appearance Yasuna was born as if she were destined to be a fairy princess, with the looks and presentation of a blend of fantasy and royalty. She has an average body size and shape, but carries herself with quiet regal splendor. She has a full expressive face with huge 'anime girl' eyes, in an brilliant blue-green color, that changes to a sexy, deep mountain green when she becomes emotional or passionate. She has shiny black hair with gray and lavender highlights, and wears a long, mature hairstyle with tresses down to her shoulder blades. As she moves around, her luxurious hair seems to move as if is was seaweed under water. Yasuna always wears a Lolita style hairband to keep her cute front bangs in place across her forehead. She has a creamy, rich beige skin tone carried evenly across her body. A well defined bust is always noticeable. She always moves and reacts as if she is in a dream sequence, where she gives the appearance that she is drifting through life, fulfilling the role of a refined teen debutante to the highest degree. Most often seen in her high school uniform, a blouse with a fluffy bow tie, a jumper dress, and black knee-high socks, Yasuna still stands out from the crowd for her demure. For casual and out of school wear, she wears an ultra-feminine style of kawaii (super cute) influenced clothing. Much of her wardrobe is of a Lolita-inspired fashion style. Often she is seen wearing pretty dresses, her choice for day-to-day wear. Her appearance gives the impression of richness without being opulent, quiet sophistication without being outlandish. Since Yasuna is such a loner and quite person, her refinement and well fashioned, cute but sensible clothing do the talking for her. Yet still in her teen years, by her fashion style and appearance, Yasuna Kamiizumi has reached the remarkable achievement of the almost impossible fashion and social accomplishment of simultaneously presenting herself as stunningly cute, hardcore sweetness, and with a very noticeably surreal, innocent demure and appearance, but also coming off as stunningly edgy, hardcore sexy, and with a very noticeably surreal, erotic demure with a decidedly royal appearance. Personality Because of Yasuna's physiological malady of not being able to see male's faces clearly, her personality is fashioned around all things feminine. She tends of ignore anything and everything of a masculine nature, whereas all things feminine are the bases of her personality traits. Refined qualities such as proper dress and grooming, appreciation of classical music and fine arts, feminine etiquette, love of nature, and kindness to others are all highlights of her personality. She seeks to be pleasing to herself and others, with Agape Love (love of principals that are good, proper, and beneficial) most dominate in her mind, heart, and soul. Yasuna is a very spiritually-minded person. These good qualities make it easy for her to do well in school, academically, and well as in other aspects of public life. However, Yasuna is a very lonely, dejected person. She has low self-worth, and no self-confidence to be part of everyday social interactions. She does not want to, nor actually can not, engage with friends, as she sees herself as somehow different, and therefore supposedly unworthy. Any interpersonal interaction with others is with females, as she can not even see clearly, much less interact with males. Yasuna is pleasant to be with, but it is not possible for her to form any lasting friendship or close ties with anyone. This makes her somewhat awkward socially in class at school, or out in public Yasuna's personality begins to evolve when she meets 'male' Hazumu for the first time at school. Later, they meet on Mt. Kashima when Hazumu trips and falls through a hedge, and lands on top of Yasuna, who is lost in the forest. Hazumu looks down upon Yasuna, as Yasuna looks up into Hazumu's face. Hazumu is the first person that she can see their face somewhat clearly, although Hazumu was born perceived as a 'male'. This happens possibly because Hazumu is a perceived male, but who has a female Gender Identity. The two teen's personalities would seem to dovetail with one another, but when Hazumu later does a Love Confession to her, she rejects the offer from Hazumu to become close and begin dating. This because Yasuna fears that she may become so close to Hazumu, to the point of strong Philia Love, but then due to unforeseen circumstances, lose what little ability that she has to see Hazumu, and all of her love and effort will seemingly be lost and not recoverable. Her fear of loss of social and intimate friendship overrules her sense of wanting companionship and love from an intimate friend. Her fear of dependence on another, and not on solely on herself also comes into play and many times governs her actions. Yasuna has had to be alone for so long, and has had to depend on herself for most everything social, it is now foreign to her that she should or would want to share her life with anyone.

Yasuna has had to be alone for so long, and has had to depend on herself for most everything social, it is now foreign to her that she should or would want to share her life with anyone. Yasuna's Story Yasuna's life is a study in contrasts. Born into a wealthy family with supposedly every material advantage, yet she is such a girl who is lonely and looks upon herself with contempt and hopelessness. Cursed with a malady that prevents her from seeing males clearly, she gradually becomes interested only in girls. However, when she met with Hazumu one day in her first year of high school, she was shocked to find that she could see most of 'him' clearly, though his face was still somewhat unfocused (perhaps she could see Hazumu because Hazumu had a female Gender Identity). From that point on, Yasuna wanted to learn more about Hazumu and gradually fell in love with 'him'. However, even when Hazumu confessed his love to her in their second year of high school, she rejected him since he still appeared to be a boy, and she was afraid that he, too, would one day disappear from her vision, and she would have supposedly lost all of her love for him. Plus, there is the constantly recurring fact that Yasuna socially and romantically prefers girls. After Hazumu's transformation into a girl, Yasuna wastes no time trying to rectify her mistake in turning down the Love Confession, and confesses her love to Hazumu---finally! But Hazumu is very confused by this and does not know what to do, especially since Hazumu's physical change has 'upset the apple cart' as far as relationships go. Yasuna has been practicing the flute for many years and is very good at performing, so naturally she joins her school's music ensemble when she enters High School. While initially cold and distant from others, Yasuna gradually changes socially, and becomes somewhat easier to approach. Her friends in the musical ensemble tell her this, and asking her if she changed due to someone she likes, then Yasuna affirms this is the fact. Hazumu was, in fact, drawn to Yasuna when Hazumu heard Yasuna practicing her flute medley in the music room, while Hazumu was in the roof garden tending to the flowers and plants. Yasuna has shown herself to be very devoted to Hazumu, and one time, in a conversation to Tomari, Yasuna tells her that she wants Hazumu all to herself. One day at school, while Hazumu and Yasuna are in the roof flower garden, Yasuna attempts to give Hazumu her first kiss, but was interrupted by the unexpected passing by of Asuta. Not too long afterward, Yasuna is successful in giving Hazumu that all important First Kiss, while they are alone together in an unused classroom. The way Yasuna come into existence in this reality is by way of a curse that warps reality by change a boy into Yasuna the reason this curse exists is another boy was jealous so made the curse used magic to get rid of him he is force to live this new life even the boy parents are changed to fit the the new Yasuna no one can know about the old reality but the one who made the curse and the one who cursed we will force on the transformation and the normal day also Yasuna school uniform is normal for the school they go to for all female students.
