Instinctively, I opened my arms to hug her as we always do. But she brushed past me with a confused glare, and instead hugged an equally stunned Taki who was currently in my body. Awkwardly, I closed the door and followed her inside.

When I made it back to the living room, I found the still stuck in their embrace; Taki now a willing participant in the practice. I walked over to pry them apart when I was met with another harsh glare from my sister; she seemed to be enjoying herself as I never usually let the embrace continue for so long.

"Alright now Ta-"

Taki cut me off as he hastily broke away from Yotsuha's embrace. "Yotsuha, take a seat on the sofa. I have to do something with Mi-… Taki in the bedroom. We'll be back in a few minutes, okay?"

"Okay, but don't you two start taking your clothes off again; I'm still traumatized by that harrowing experience." Yotsuha shivered in her spot, an expression of pure disgust dawning her face.

I felt the red fill my face, but Taki seemed unaffected by her words, instead grabbing my hand and dragging me into the bedroom.

"I don't want to tell her." Taki proclaimed hurriedly.

"What?! Why?"

Taki motioned for me to lower my voice. "It's… um… it's a good practice… for tomorrow. That's right, practice – we can practice how to convince people at work, by acting like each other in front of Yotsuha. It'll be a test of our acting skills." After that he muttered something incoherently to himself.

Warily, I considered what Taki was asking of me. Something felt a little off about the way he posed the question; but admittedly he made a good point.

"Alright, fine. We'll try it out for a while, but we'll tell her later today. I do not want to lie to her, especially about something like this, but I'll let it go for the time being."

The smile that graced his face was almost enough for me to set aside my earlier doubts, if they hadn't actually fed into them even further; now I was incredibly suspicious of what Taki was up to. I followed him into the living room to join my sister.

"Yotsuha, do you want to watch something?" Taki asked her.

"Hmm… not really. There's a lot of homework our teachers dumped on us over the past week – I was hoping to get that done today." My sister nonchalantly scoured for her bag as she answered. She might be quite smart, but Yotsuha was not known for being very punctual with her homework submission; if she felt she needed to submit, then there's probably only a day left for the deadline.

"Are you sure? I can find something interesting for us to watch; I'll even cook us some popcorn." Taki pleaded, something that equally surprised us Miyamizu sisters.

Suddenly, Yotsuha stood up from her seat. "Alright, what is going on? Neither of you are acting normal."

See, I told you she is pretty smart.

"Noth-"

Taki started to reason with her, but Yotsuha cut him off. "Nope, don't give me that. I know something is off and you're the reason behind it." She pointed at me; more accurately, she pointed at Taki's body.

For a moment, I was questioning whether I should go through with it and throw Taki under the bus, but I decided against it. "No Yotsuha, Taki is not the reason for this. Or rather, Taki is not the only reason for this." I stated.

"But you're Taki-kun. Why are you… Wait, did you two switch places again? Is this really happening?" Yotsuha exclaimed.

I promise, this time the chapter will update soon. Next week at the latest.

Sorry for the enormous delay on this. Life caught up to me. In the interval between this chapter and the last, I finished a semester, got a job at a company about 6 months down the line, finished my midterms for my final semester and so much more.

Please let know what you think of this chapter in a review. I really appreciate those.
