### Chapter 1: The First Night
Ash gazed out of his bedroom window, the shadows of the trees outside dancing grotesquely in the pale moonlight. His heart pounded; he couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. The once comforting sight of his room now felt foreign and inhospitable. Embracing the cool night air with the window slightly ajar, he tried to calm his nerves. The window, however, became a portal to an unknown malevolence creeping closer with every passing second.
The unease gnawed at him since that fateful day when Paul, his childhood friend turned nemesis, whispered those unintelligible words during a heated argument. It was just a squabble over a trivial matter, but Paul's words had carried a weight that made Ash's blood run cold.
"You'll see. Everything will change," Paul had hissed, eyes burning with an enigmatic fury.
Later that night, Ash awoke to a searing pain coursing through his body. He tried to scream, but no sound emerged. It felt as though his very bones were being torn asunder and reassembled. Sweat poured from him, soaking his bed. His vision blurred as the room seemed to twist and warp around him. It wasn't until the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains that the agony subsided, leaving him gasping for air.
He stumbled to the mirror, praying that it was just a nightmare. But the reflection that greeted him was unrecognizable. The face staring back at him was Yasuna Kamiizumi, a strikingly beautiful girl with silky black hair and dark blue-gray eyes, not his own.
Ash's mind reeled as memories began to merge and twist, rewriting his history as though it had always been this way. He was Yasuna Kamiizumi, a 16-year-old girl attending Kashima High School, socially and romantically preferring other females. His identity as Ash evaporated, leaving behind fragments in the recesses of his consciousness. He was trapped within this new existence, cursed to live a life not his own.

### Chapter 2: The Shadow Lurking
The days at Kashima High School felt unreal to Yasuna. The faces around her were both familiar and alien at the same time. She couldn't remember any specifics about her past life as Ash; the details slipped away from her mind like sand through fingers. Yet, Yasuna could still feel Ash's emotions—his fears, his anger, and the bitterness towards Paul, who had so cruelly altered his fate.
From her first day at school, she noticed something off about the place. The school seemed to hold its own secrets; a sense of dread lingered in the air, as though the very walls were whispering and watching. Yasuna found solace in the school's music ensemble, where she played the flute with eerie precision. But even there, she felt eyes upon her, shadows lurking just out of sight.
One evening, as Yasuna lingered in the music room, practicing a haunting melody, she heard the creak of the door. Turning around, she found herself face-to-face with Paul, his smile dripping with malice. Her heart raced; every instinct screamed for her to run, but her legs refused to move.
"Enjoying your new life, Yasuna?" Paul sneered, stepping closer. "This is just the beginning. You'll never escape me."
Before she could react, the room plunged into darkness. Yasuna felt a cold hand touch her shoulder, and she screamed. When the lights flickered back on, Paul was gone, but the feeling of dread remained. The shadows seemed to elongate and swirl, as if they were alive, waiting for the right moment to strike.

### Chapter 3: The Haunted Transformation
Back home, Yasuna locked herself in her room, trembling. She couldn't tell anyone the truth; no one would believe her. Her parents, who were once Ash's, were now fully integrated into this new reality, oblivious to the torment their 'daughter' was facing. Yasuna felt Ash's soul buried deep within her, struggling to break free.
The nights became more torturous. Yasuna's dreams were plagued with visions of Ash trapped in a dark, endless void, screaming for release. Her body, now completely female, felt foreign and treacherous. Every movement reminded her of the curse she was under, a perpetual nightmare with no end in sight.
One particularly harrowing night, Yasuna awoke to find her reflection staring back at her from the window—only it wasn't her reflection. It was Ash, his eyes full of sorrow and rage. The ghostly image mouthed words she couldn't hear but could feel deep inside.
"You must break free," the image seemed to say. "Paul's curse can be vanquished, but only through the shadows."
The following day, Yasuna was more determined than ever. She scoured the library for texts on folklore and curses, anything that could give her a clue on how to break free from Paul's sinister grip. The old librarian seemed to sense her urgency and handed her an ancient, dusty tome.
"Be cautious, child," the librarian whispered. "The shadows are powerful. They can either destroy or save you."
Yasuna's heart pounded as she flipped through the pages, her eyes falling upon an incantation that promised to break curses by confronting the shadow of one's soul. It was a risky gamble, but Yasuna had no choice. She had to save Ash; she had to reclaim her life.

### Chapter 4: Confrontation
The night of the ritual, Yasuna stood in the middle of her room, candles flickering around her. She chanted the incantation, her voice trembling but resolute. As the final words left her lips, the room plunged into an icy darkness.
The shadows coalesced into a towering figure, eyes glowing with malevolence. Yasuna felt Ash's presence surge within her, his anger and determination giving her strength.
"You cannot escape," the shadow growled, its voice a cacophony of anguish.
Summoning every ounce of courage, Yasuna stepped forward. "I am not afraid," she declared. "You will release me and Ash."
The shadow lunged, but Yasuna held her ground. She could feel Ash within her, battling the darkness. The shadows seemed to writhe and twist, as though being torn apart from within.
"Your time is over," Yasuna shouted, her voice merging with Ash's. "We reclaim our soul!"
The darkness screamed, and with a final, soul-shaking roar, it dissipated into nothingness. Yasuna collapsed to the floor, gasping for breath. When she opened her eyes, she felt different. For the first time, she felt whole.

### Chapter 5: New Beginnings
The following morning, Yasuna awoke to a sense of clarity and peace she hadn't felt in years. The mirror reflected only her true self, free from the torment of the shadows. Ash's soul had merged seamlessly with Yasuna's, creating a new identity that embraced both their pasts.
At school, Yasuna found herself smiling more freely. The dark cloud that had hung over her was gone. She still remembered Paul, and the curse that had wrought havoc on her life, but it no longer held power over her.
In the roof garden, Yasuna played her flute, the haunting melody now filled with hope. She knew the journey ahead would be challenging, but for the first time, she felt ready to face it. With Ash's memories and Yasuna's strength, she would uncover the mysteries of her cursed past and build a future that was truly her own.
The shadows would no longer control her destiny. Yasuna Kamiizumi, or rather the new entity she had become, would carve out her own path, defying the darkness that once held her captive. The horror of the past was now a memory, a ghost that would haunt her no more.

Yasuna Kamiizumi is himashi Wiki Kashimashi Wiki Yasuna Kamiizumi Japanese 神泉 やす菜 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 (神泉 やす菜Kamiizumi 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.

This happens possibly because Hazumu is a perceived male, but who has a female Gender Identity.

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. Yasuna name as a boy was name ash and the boy who cursed ash was name Paul the curse can't be undone ash is still in control just force to live a life that was not his show his change in gender and outfits choice he has to deal with.
