Quantum Leap - Vol. 2 Exile Island (formerly Till Death Do Us Part)

C002 Kagome

"You will soon find out, Sam, my boy. I would not be able to give you any spoiler alerts since it would leave this series in a bad taste," replied Max with a wink of his eye.

With a twirl of his walking cane, he tapped it once on the ground and immediately everything within the void seemed to move like a tornado starting where he had somehow struck the ground using the end of his walking cane. He grinned at me with a Chestershire Cat look and slowly disappeared as he was absorbed into the vortex and disappeared.

Weird man...! Finding myself in this kind of void space and meeting someone as if he was to give me a guide on how to run my life as well as a guidance system. That was what he had said earlier and I was wondering what kind of guidance system he would be in this life.

The void seemed to drain away slowly through the vortex-like water swirling into the drainage. I watched in awe until I felt that I too was being sucked down into that particular sinkhole. 

All around me, the books, lampshade, clock and otherworldly debris was orbiting and picking up speed. It was then, a large lampshade suddenly crashed into the side of my temple and knocked me out of my consciousness as this time around, the same blackness sensation overwhelmed me once again.

Just like the saying, "A leap into the unknown was like leaping into a lake filled with crocodiles and piranhas. Either you die thrashing about in the mighty jaws of the crocodiles or die being attacked in a frenzy by those tiny yet sharp teeth of the piranhas. 

Either way, it is going to be a bloody mess in the end. One would be left in a pool of blood, leaving behind only the clean, white bones within a few hours after being swamped and attacked by the piranhas while the other being dragged down in the middle of the lake where the body would be used to feed the crocodiles for a few days."

"Yo, Mr Director...! Why you are it again and changing the script as and when you like eh?! This story has nothing to do with jumping into a lake or being bitten by crocodiles and piranhas and being eaten and picked clean by the piranhas or being chomped down by the crocodiles. Urrgghh... Please... Don't just do this type of fillers just to sway the attention of the readers...!"I thought aloud as I made some preparations on the next leap.

This time, there would be a total of 13 characters and several other side characters like some gaming NPC that would be slightly mentioned but plays not much of a significant role. This series would be taking place in the municipality of Shizouka which is about 800 meters from the nearest JNR (Japan National Railway) station of Shimizu. Hey...! At least there would be a change of flavour, am I right? I am sure that this series would be making a big hit among my dear fans and readers. Hahaha...!

So, let's make a guess of who would be Ani this time...Hahaha...!

Ahem...Ahem... lets us get on with the show, shall we?

As I travelled through the weird vortex, I ended waking up by the hustle and bustle of incessant chattering and laughter around me. As the blurred vision of the leap slowly cleared away, I looked around me and found myself in a classroom setting which was in white and blue. 

WOW...! It's like heaven for me, being able to see the girls in short and skimpy above the knees pleated skirts. The high white stockings...! The black shiny shoes and the cute faces of those dolled up students' faces...! What I first noticed were the gestures some of the girls would make with their fingers as they gesticulated followed by their cute little giggles.

I looked around and saw my self in the reflection in the mirror and was grateful that I had somehow transmigrated and had successfully done a body exchange with a male student. Judging from the looks of it, I do seem to have taken over another person's body and not into a haversack, a pencil case or even some stupid inanimate object...!

Yahoo...!! Being a student once again is the best feeling I could get right now...! There are no responsibilities such as looking for work and to support me and a family. Goodness me...! At least in this series, I am free to do what I want and there would be no one stopping me...Hahaha...! 

I laughed inwardly as an evil grin crept up on my face. It is great being a student and I am sure would be enjoying myself this time as I got to relive my old past too. The other students around me were talking loudly among themselves as it seemed that it was the beginning of class and the students took the opportunity to catch up with their last night's activities or engage in some idle chit chat.

One of the male students turned around and called out to me. Fortunately, he was calling my name or else I would have a hard time answering back to them. The only thing is whose body had I taken over and what was my purpose here in the first place. A school is the safest place someone could be, isn't it?

"Hey, Kenzo-sama, have you prepared yourself for the camping trip during the school break? What you gonna bring with you besides the camping equipment? Are you gonna hook up with the apple of your eye together with you in a single tent there as well? Hahaha...!"

"You know... A little bit of huggy huggy, a little bit of kissy-kissy, all alone in a tent and under the covers of a single sleeping bag. Hahahaha... Anything could happen, you know...So are you going to make your move once we are out there in the wild and you are turning into a wild beast yourself?" 

One of the boys spoke up in Japanese and it immediately translated back to English as he poked fun at me and somehow I realised that we are going to have a summer break very soon. Great...! There would be no homework or assignments that I need to c***k my brains at this moment...!

"SHINJIMAE...!" I replied to the person who had just poked fun at me which literally translated as "GO TO HELL" and the whole group guffawed at me as though its the first time they had heard me mouthed some foul words...!

A group of girls at the front of the classroom were discussed in a hushed manner when suddenly one of the girls in the group turned around, gazing her big anime-like eyes and blushed red like a beet. Her ample breasts were sort of jiggling at me as she turned around sharply to gaze at me when one of the boys in my group mentioned me being a wild animal once I had my so-called girlfriend in my arms for a little huggy huggy and kissy kissy action. Hahaha...! Does that girl have some significance to me after all?

She had blue coloured hair (I am not sure if it is dyed or natural colour) and blue eyes twinkled at me which I thought must be the reflection from the lights above. The way she stood there in her uniform makes her more petite and I was still gazing at her, oblivious to the stares from the other boys from my group.

I noticed that she had her hair made up and it was into two ponytails and a blue ribbon was tied at the top of her head that accentuates her overall look to be like a little loli. "Gulp...! Hope it would not be too obvious as I began to gawk at her and it had only been like a few hours since I had a f*********n session with Bo's sister in the last leap. Hahaha...! Ah well... This is sure going to be a student's fantasy after all...!

The rest of all the girls were wearing the same type of uniform that accentuates their long legs while their short skirts seem to give us boys a peek of what coloured knickers the girls were wearing at that time. There's no need to do any upskirt photography since the girls were the willing partners after all. Hahahaha...

Her name was Kagome. Just like the Kagome in Inuyasha. Hahaha. 

The guys in my group also wore the same uniform (Come, one man...we are all in high school and of course we are wearing the same uniform. This is Japan and not some high school in the United States)  and each of us had different coloured hair as well. I guessed it must be one of those eras where having different coloured har was a fashion during that time.

I looked at the reflection in the glass window beside me and saw that my hairdo was like a typical Japanese student setup as it was now silvery grey and done up in a kind of messy kind of style with fringes draped over half of my face that covered my left eye. 

SUPER COOL, DUDE...! I had suddenly become a Japanese cartoon character this time...! I looked at the clock on the wall and the time showed that it is just 840am and it's a Friday; which means there would be no school nor classes for the next 2 days.

Woohoo...! What a great opportunity to spend my time around to find out more about this dimension and wondered what I would be doing this time for this Leap. Does my existence a purpose to avert the decisions in the life of the body that I had exchanged with and also to make a change in my life or someone else's history? Geez...Only Max would have the answer and knows about this but right now he was nowhere to be found. Sheesh... I better make the best of this situation and see how it would flow in this storyline then.

What's good for a guidance system that simply tells me what I already know but then does not provide me with the system that I need?

Suddenly, the girl named Kagome walked away from the group and sauntered right up to me and smile as she held up a large lunchbox. It was called a bento box, guys and it was really a pretty large square box with some intricate pictures along the sides and was wrapped and tied with a piece of linen cloth. I think that cloth was either of some fine cotton or silk. 

She sheepishly handed it to me and smiled as she extended her both hands and said, "Kenzo-sama, my mother made this for your lunch. Shall we eat later together on the benches at the basketball court during our lunch break later, yes?"  She pushed the bento box into my hands as I extended mine to receive it and she hurriedly returned to her group of girls before the boys around me made wolf whistles and cheers the moment the short intermission had ended.

"Hey, Kenzo...! Woot... Woot...! The apple of your eye has already made her move... So when would your next to be, eh? A smarty like you would pair off with a smarty girl like her. Such a wonderful pair, you know...! You cannot be always with your books you know? You should go out and have some fun...! Books don't teach you how to tackle girls and even don't even teach you how to kiss...! Hahahaha...!" one of the boys with a black mushroom head called out to me teasingly and guffawed loudly as if he was in his own world and there's no one else around him...!

I ignored that the guys that were making a fool of themselves as I slowly unwrapped the cloth and took a peek inside the bento box. The scent of great food hit my nostrils and made me salivate, even though its not even recess time...!

Those group of monkeys clamoured around me and cannot help admiring in their excitement. "Oishi neh..." (which literally means delicious) "Your kanojo made this especially for you?! So delicious... I also want my girlfriend to prepare this type of bento box for me every day. Hahaha...!" The guys crowded around and ogled at the contents as if it was the first time they had seen such delicacies from a home-prepared lunch box...!
