Wind Nocturne [ Jayden ]

[jayden]

Jayden watched with curiosity at his counterpart... or rather himself, like a doppleganger, trying to imitate his movements, be him... for what reason he had no idea.. she seemed like the type that would just do things like that for fun though.and for a moment Jayden watched through hildegarde's eyes at what hilde considered jayden to be like. hands stuffed in pockets, a slow casual and apathetic pace to her... his walk... not bad, not bad. though it was too purposefully apathetic, Jayden was much less concerned with looking apathetic as much as he just... was apathetic. also there was no way he would ever be that straightforward.. especially with a couple, he would never have interrupted them, nor in such a direct manner. speaking of manners, she didn't seem to use any... which seemed a little off to Jayden as hilde had plenty of manner when they had first met...

perhaps... someone else was in his body as he first theorized... someone who also knew hilde... it was hard to say, Jayden made a mental note to keep an eye out on it. especially since whoever it was seemed to think they knew jayden's character pretty well considering how long he had known hilde now... which was not very long.

Jayden, quite finished with his thoughts turned about, looking in bushes and in windows, perhaps for a glint of some binoculars... he really wasn't quite certain what to look for... and honestly, even if he did he knew he probably wouldn't find it.

They needed... a new plan of action!

Jayden closed hilde's eyes, thinking, listening. he felt the sun, the cool breeze. the chatter of couples, the rustling of bushes, the animals scurrying about trying to get ready for nightfall in their eternal struggle of life, he let his thoughts flow, like a river into a basin that was forming into an idea.

thoughts swelling, rising, flowing

Jayden's eyes opened, the sun was bright, it stung a little. perfect

Jayden turned to see hilde quite enjoying being him, as if that girl on the bench with her boyfriend would ever find him attractive. then of course Jayden realized... he knew that hildegard was attractive... still he had more respect, he wouldn't try to mess with anyone.

"Hilde, I think we need to consider who we're dealing with... its a cooking enthusiast, and from the fact that he made fortune cookies I could discern he is also of asian decent, and conviniently I know of a nearby asian delicatessan. the kind of place an asian cook may want to stay if they where perhaps spying on someone?" Jayden offered as a long thought out idea, almost to a sherlocke holmes degree of specificity in his mind. he had no idea why he thought it would work, but it wasn't like they had any other leads, right?

[Hildegard Merquise]

She felt watched, it was kind of weird. Although, it was only natural for someone to look after their own body, even when they weren't in it. Saphir on the other hand knew that Jayden was a good kid, far to kind to do anything stupid in 'Hilde's' body. Even though her act was off, it was fun to try. Perhaps, it was what she'd be like had she been a boy and not a secondary passenger on the Hilde Express. Although, she saw herself a little more flamboyant, oh well.

A few minutes passed and before she knew it, she was joined once again by Jayden. Apparently he had an idea, oh boy was it a good one. Yes, perhaps his brain would make a wonderful pet after all. Smile and nod."So we are either dealing with a very talented Asian cook or a xenophile. After all, you can't look past anything and you need to expect anything. If dealing with any, they'd probably wear their colours on the outside, after all they are proud of what they are or what they obsess over. But the question remains, would they know where we live, would they really follow us around. Or would they be off somewhere, doing their thing thinking: OH hey! I just screwed around with the minds of strangers. When dealing with anything along these lines, or with people in general. You can't always assume you are worth their time, but at the same time you need to think in terms if you were. For sometimes they are watching you, whilst other times they have sent you into the frame of mind to believe they are watching, when really they aren't."

Saphir paused and thought about it for a moment more, after all she had just said a lot. Stuff that Hilde herself probably wouldn't say. Or would she? Perhaps she was a little more serious then what she lead others to believe. There were things even Saphir didn't know, since she didn't normally care about Hilde... Unless of course it inconvenienced herself. Looking up and over the shoulder of herself, she'd stare off into the distance. Trying to wrack her brain.. Asking herself where to look.

"I agree with you on checking the Asian delicatessen, while we are at it, lets check a few of the Chinese food restaurants in the area around here and the school. Think of the obvious and the unexpected." Her last statement was spoken in a lowed volume, as she once again let her hands find the pockets of the pants.

Soo much fun! Oh Jayden<3 Today shall be SOOOOO much Fun~~

[jayden]

Her thoughts where a tad broad but Jayden listened as she spoke with respect to her thoughts. her idea had merit. though she did show a new and completely unexpected level of intelligence... perhaps hilde was hiding things from him? or perhaps his original theory of, this is someone else was more true than it had originally seemed. yes... Jayden would have to play it cool for now, but it may need to be confronted eventually.

"Yes, you strike a few strong points. and from what the actual things on the fortune cookies said, and considering the choice of people he gave it to, you can tell he is quite a bully, and is not just retaliating for being bullied. so he's pulling a prank, and I'd have to imagine as is the mindset of bullies that he is indeed around here, but he'll be well hidden. probably a coward, likes to use other things to show his power and then hide behind them when things get rough... for all we know he has also body swapped with someone to become even less conspicuous." Jayden explained his thought processes with some tact.

"At this point if we are dealing with someone with a bully mentality, I suggest we follow our original plan, checking all the nearby asian restaurants, and then if we can't find him we admit defeat in a public way so that he can enjoy his victory, then he will probably come out of the woodwork, with his plan succesfully completed and hopefully change us back... then of course we could have our own little revenge" Jayden mused with a smirk, and then added "we also may want to consider that the effects of this are temporary and that tomorow we could just as easily wake up as ourselves again".

[Hildegard Merquise]

Of course she'd hear him out, Saphir wished to hear all the young man had to say. Why? Helping along the line of decision making of course! Whether or not he was worth keeping in a jar in her room. Oh yes, he was the one worth of such a glorious position! Oh ho ho ho, lucky lucky Jayden. There was a smile upon the smooth face of Jayden, or in this case Saphir. Whilst the devious smirk upon the face of herself while he explained the plan, oh it was so lovely. No words could explain Saphir's joy at that point in time.

He was good.

She would love a little revenge.

"Ohh ho ho ho... I like your way of thinking My dear friend! Shall we begin the journey." Saphir could only for see fun.

Although the chance of revenge seemed like fun! How oh how were they to exact it? So many ways to go abouts doing so. That put a little spring in her step and a way more cheerful tone. Oh it was so easy to make Saphir happy. Taking a step forward, she'd offer out an arm to Jayden. Linking arms, was her odd way of keeping an eye on herself. She didn't want people to hinder their search by stopping to talk to Jayden. After all, he was a cute girl for the time being, there needed to be something to scare unwanted predators away.

but the question remained, would he be too shy to take it?

Oh cute little Jayden.. It's so fun. I want to make you squirm!

[jayden]

Jayden smirked with hilde's face, his traditional smirk just didn't feel right on hilde's face, though he could tell this other person who was in his body was using the full range of his facial muscles. Jayden's new secret mission was discovering more about this person, and how she seemed to know so much about himself and hilde. he had decided somewhere deep down that this was not hilde he was dealing with, which turned a lot of the nervousness of dealing with the girl whose body he currently inhabited away. he was glad to have met an intellectual person to work with on the other hand, perhaps in this case it was for the better that it was not hilde in his body.

little did Jayden know it was just a different side of hilde.

When jayden's... err... hilde's arm came out to link with his Jayden stared at it curiously, at first he had no idea what exactly she wanted from him. then he realized... boys and girls who where going out linked arms to show their takenness... in hopes of course to not be bothered by others. Jayden suddenly became acutely aware of the fact that even though he was poorly dressed he was still quite attractive in the redhead's body.

damn

Jayden shuddered before forcing the quite unnatural role of being the girl and placing his hand through the loop of hilde's arm he made their little link. knowing it wasn't hilde made him quite unshy, but knowing it was someone else made him feel quite uncomfortable regardless.

Jayden began to lead the way toward the delicatessen, assuming that his counterpart played along and followed it would just look like a normal girl excitedly leading her boyfriend to some kind of valentines day surprise

[Hildegard Merquise]

Oh what a good little boy Jayden was. To go along so willingly with joining arms. Of course there was a little hesitation, but it was all too be expected from dear little Jayden. It was enough to make some girls swoon, had he been himself and not Hildegard. Sadly, he cute little girl, although she wasn't quite little. But speaking from Jayden's shoes, he was that day. Whilst being lead by little Jayden there was one thing running through Saphir's mind. One thing and one thing only.

BWUAHAHAAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA AH AHA HA AH AHA AH AHA!!!

They'd walk, Jayden taking the lead, it was rather amusing. All Saphir wished to do was laugh, but she didn't. Instead she kept a strong front and continued to walk. Noticing the looks of envy and what not on the faces of those they passed. She even heard the odd person say:'aww what a cute couple'. Inside she knew all too well that it was probably annoying the young man or making him feel embarrassed? Or so she could hope.

Squirm..boy.. Squirm..

It didn't take too long and they'd arrive at the first location, there was a smirk upon the face of Jayden, although it morphed into a friendly smile as she looked down upon Hilde. "Lead the way captain." Saphir chuckled a little as she pulled the door open and held it open for Jayden. "Ladies first."

Too much fun~<3

[jayden]

Jayden smiled the entire way, he had a role to play and he played it well, inwardly he sneered at the attention they where getting... though in part of his mind it made him quite happy. if people on the streets thought that his body and hildegarde's body looked well together... well maybe when this whole thing was over...

who knows?

BUT! priorities came first and Jayden was determined to get his hilde back... wait... did he just call her his hilde? on the inside Jayden facepalmed, the sooner all of this was over the better.

Anyway, hilde opened the door for him, a mocking sort of gesture, ladies first.... very funny.

Jayden walked through the door anyway, smiling hilde's smile and not letting it bother him. He took a quick look around. resaurant patrons, a few chefs in the back... it would be hard to tell which one was their man

Sweeping the delicatessen with the red and blue gaze he looked for someone who showed surprise at his and hilde's presence. someone who might be thinking "oh crap, how did they find me!?"

no one showed that on their face though. Jayden went to the person at the cash register.

"Excuse me... does anyone from public high school 774 work here?" he asked, the pretty voice of hilde coming out. the man behind the counter thought for a moment.

"where's ichiro?" he asked one of the chefs. "In the back" he calmly replied. "Well bring him out here"

the chef dissapeared and in moments there was a boy standing before them, the look of "oh crap, how did they find me!?" painted clearly across his face. just the look jayden was hoping for.

Jayden opened his mouth to speak but the boy bolted past him, right out the door.

"After him!" Jayden shouted in hilde's voice, turning and giving pursuit

[Hildegard Merquise]

So Jayden had been right... She'd have to give him credit.. Oh what a shame he had bested her, yet at the same time it was quite fun. After all, it wasn't everyday that a target actually defeated her...in a sense. Smirking away they'd wait for the young man. Oh but of course, he ran. THEY ALWAYS RAN! whyyyy? Saphir could only pray that he was faster than she was. They'd run, throwing open the door, listening to the jingle of the bell for the seconds as they passed through the door well.

With great speed, she'd chase the young man. It was obvious that Ichiro..was their man. Watching that little Asian man run was infuriating, weaving through the people of the side walk. The speedy little bastard was out running her. The long legs of Jayden would just need to be pushed harder. Pushing people out of the way and jumping over things before her, Saphir was determined to catch the guy.

"I'M GOING TO GET YOU!D<"

Making a quick turn down an alley was probably the young man's folly. Or so she assumed. It was a dead end, right? What looked like the end, there was only one thing to do.. TACCKLLEEE THE SHRIMP! What she thought would work, sadly didn't. he'd move away, causing the girl..Jayden to slide across the ground. OOOWWWWWWWWW....

The young man would loop around and attempt to pass the girl... After all they were slower, right?

"Get him!" With that she'd dramatically let her arm drop and play dead.

[jayden]

Jayden ran like absolutely freaking crazy, and though he felt like it was the same speed he saw his body getting ever so slightly ahead, mostly because Jayden preffered to dodge around people than simply crash into them.

still watching someone else recklessly use his body was ridiculous, and unwarrented eventually he saw the two dive into an alleyway. Jayden turned seeing that his body had fallen and the other boy was running right his way.

Jayden held Hilde's arm out, grabbing the boy as he tried to run past and dragging him to the ground. all speed and no strength, though it was nice to see hilde apperantly wasn't the weakest either. "end of the road" Jayden said holding the boy down, such a macabre phrase didn't sound right from the hilde he knew.

still, they had their man. he looked to his body, that certainly looked painful... he'd feel that in the morning.

"Alright, how do we change back?" Jayden asked.

"You have to dance!" the boy said

"Seriously"

"Yes, just don't hurt me! Just dance and then touch each other thats it" the boy yelped. Jayden dragged him farther into the alley, sitting him in a corner.

"Alright... might as well give this a shot" Jayden said, and so he began to dance, his hips shaking, his feet moving and his body flailing, it was very clear he had no idea how to dance

[Hildegard Merquise]

UUGGHHHHHHHHH....

There was ow from the collision with the ground, getting up slowly, Saphir would look around. Although she was pleasantly surprised to see Jayden had actually captured the fellow. Perhaps she'd delay the jarring of...Jayden. Especially since she at the time didn't know his last name. No far of person can last a last name! Or at least it went against her laws of organization.

He wanted them to dance...and WHAT!? Hopefully he meant in the innocent way! Because anything else would be disgusting. Watching Jayden dance, it was just so hilarious and yet so adorable. Smirking a little, Saphir tried her best to avoid dancing. Sadly the young captured man gave her the: 'you too' look. Grumbling a little, she'd reluctantly join in. Only to reveal she didn't know how to dance either.

Swaying a little, making weird motions to the sounds of the street. Saphir could only pray that no one could see them, such a horrible punishment. "This better work..." She said in a very low and cold voice. It didn't even seem to fit Jayden, but it was merely her voicing her annoyance at the situation. "How the heck is this supposed to work?"

[jayden]

The boy looked in a slight guffaw as the two danced, and then he said "Just touch"

Jayden reached out, grabbing hilde's... or rather, his wrist and closed his eyes. there was a pause as he stopped dancing, and then he heard laughter from the corner where the boy was. Jayden's eyes flashed open, he was still holding onto his own wrist, and he was still in hilde's body.

he let go, turning toward the boy laughing on the ground. rage boiled furiously inside of him, his fists clenched and his jaw tightened, his eyes narrowed and the boy stopped laughing.

"Wait wait, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself, I'll tell you how to really fix it"

Jayden looked at him expectantly, crossing his arms and tapping his fingers.

"Alright alright, I only did this cause I saw you guys in the hallways yesterday... and you where SO DAMN CUTE, and I was jealous and I wanted to ruin your valentines... it'll wear off by tomorow, when you fall asleep tonight you'll wake up in your own bodies, I promise" Ichiro explained

Jayden suddenly blushed very brightly, he wasn't sure if he should let the boy know they wheren't going out... or if he should let it slide and see what hilde did... then again, he had already decided this wasn't hilde... still it would be interesting just to see...

[Hildegard Merquise]

She felt like an idiot! There was no doubt about it, even though she barely dance, Jayden had gone along with it, but whatever to get back to her normal body; right? As long as... ITS NOT WORKING. Laughter from the fool brought them to the sad reality, he had just been screwing with them. Greeeaaattttttttttttttttttttt. There was a part of Saphir that wished to smack senses into the young man, after all he made fools of them. But of course, since they were classmates... She couldn't do such a thing.

LAMMMMEEE....

But stupidity was followed by an awkward response. A jealous young man had found vengeance in a cookie with paper in the center, what an odd sense of humour. She couldn't help but commend the young man. After all, he had successfully been able to split their minds and transfer the bodies... With nothing more than a cookie. Of course, the young man had no idea that Hilde was not exactly Hilde. So... He had ruined valentine's day for Jayden, but made it fun for Saphir. Silly people.

"Tomorrow, right? Hmmmm."

What oh what to do~? What should be done with a young man who is capable of such things? Surely, she'd keep an eye on him. Since there wasn't much Saphir could do for the time being. "Jayden...What should we do? Let him do free?" Playing the innocent card was easy, but she wasn't sure if he'd fall for it. After all, spending a day with the person, perhaps had given her away.

Oh well, more fun later ~<3

[jayden]

Jayden looked, she hadn't seemed to mind the going out comment, but then she hadn't seemed to mind anything so far, she was... a curious one.

Listening to her question Jayden simply smirked. when he could he tried to avoid Violence, the fact that the boy had admitted his wrongs was enough for jayden, but why not play a few cards just to see where it would lead?

"I dunno" he said, as if still thinking about it, he didn't know it, but he was a great actor.

"You seemed pretty excited about the prospect of revenge earlier... if you wanted to beat the hell out of him I certainly wouldn't stop you" Jayden mentioned easily with a shrug, a calm controlled sense in his eyes, shimmering just underneath the surface

"Its a pretty quiet alleyway, and I'm certain no one is going to come in and check on us anytime soon... hell, I'll even keep a watch for you" Jayden offered, watching the boy before them squirm at his every word, worried for his own well being, just like a real bully, when confronted they cower in fear.

and why shouldn't he suffer, he cause them great discomfort in his own ways. Jayden's smirk grew a little nastier, of course upon hildegarde's face it wasn't quite as dark, but it still definately carried out the message well enough

"Its up to you of course" Jayden said looking back to his counterpart, curious to see what happened next.

[Hildegard Merquise]

So, he was going to play that game. It could mean one thing and one thing only. He knew that it wasn't Hildegard, oh sly little Jayden... How fun things shall be. How nice it was that he played into her hands so nicely. There was a feeling of victory and yet at the same time, there was something that annoyed her... So very much. Ruining Hilde's image, yes that just wouldn't do. There was only time to do one thing, play innocent and act like the victim. She who cries first will always be seen as the victim, right? >___> Better fruckin be right.

"Oh Jayden! How could you say such a thing. I'd never want to do anything to hurt that young man... Why would you even accuse me of such a thing..." The sad trembling voice, just didn't seem to fit Jayden. Saphir was having quite the difficult time making it could cute enough to be seem as if it were the truth.

"How could you be so mean?" She'd pause for a moment and look down towards the ground, grasping the cuffs of the sleeves tightly, fidgeting to go along with the:'OH! I'm so hurt' look."You can go Ichiro.."

She'd wait for the young man to leave before doing anything. Yes, there was no way she'd let anyone see the horrible side that was Saphir. There would be no ruining Hilde's image, yes she needed Hidle to get closer to the others...

JAYDEN!
I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!!I HATE YOU!!! I HATE YOU!!

How could you do that!?

How could he know? I mean, its not like... Well, he's apparently smarter than the average bear.. I'll make him regret ever suspecting me.. He'll cry and I'll make him beg for mercy. That bastard! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM!

I hate you Jayden! Stupid Jayden!
I'll get you Jayden! You'll pay Jayden!

Although the outside expression was that of someone hurt and disappointed, the mind was a buzz with anger and the fury of a woman out for vengeance. No matter what, she'd get her revenge against Jayden, it was only a matter of time.

[jayden]

Jayden laughed a small laugh "I was just kidding don't worry about it, sorry" he said, now masking that he knew. he had seen all he needed to see

Jayden looked on curiously, never being one to care about image, he wasn't trying to ruin her, only find out for himself, he turned to their bully as she ended her "Woe is me" routine, it sounded authentic enough, but that deisre for revenge earlier had been quite real, the things she said... it didn't add up, though it was definately someone who knew Hilde very well... but even then, he didn't think hilde would explode on him in anger like that if he had mentioned such a thing, she would probably just laugh it off, or make a very small deal out of it saying something like "oh jayden" laughs "I was just kidding about that, I wouldn't do that!" at which point jayden would laugh and say "I know, sorry... I was just joking" and feel a little bad. Jayden smirked at the boy

"A word of advice" he said, a certain growing confidence at his Victory of the mind "Don't pick on couples who aren't actually couples... I've only met hilde once, and we're not going out" he said easily enough, it hurt him on the inside to truly say that, but this would be it, the big gamble. if it was hilde and she did have even the slightest inkling of liking him, that would be gone now (though jayden could't even conceive the possibility of a girl liking him so as far as he was concerned he had nothing to lose, he would just go back to being friendless, which was no loss to him), and if it wasn't hilde... welll, he'd just have to wait and see.

but with those words he stepped back and motioned for the boy to go, and he did quite quickly. Jayden hoped he wasn't pulling their leg.

Jayden looked back up at 'hilde'. "Well.. I am really sorry for what I said earlier... I guess thats that... shall we part ways then?" he asked, a little smirk on his/hilde's face
