It's something I wrote quite some time ago.... (2008...?) 
I'm not 100% certain where I was going with it but I'm sure I could figure it out if I thought on it long enough.
Yes I was looking at older stuff of mine instead of writing the next chapter of my SH Story... Sorry my readers!

Prologue stuff... supposedly this is a scene which was going to happen somewhere inside the story at some point. Not certain why the pg numerals are going in reverse order...
The scene is a rather large Amusement park it is almost midnight. Only the work lights and some of the park lights are on. A large roller coaster is the center of the park. Two figures stand on two close yet separate rises of the roller coaster.
Pg IX
Both fighters push off from their places and clash in midair –Sh-tang!!- Using the force from their blow they bounce back away from each other, landing on the ground.
“Kasuragi (Ka-soo-ra-gee) Nami (Na-Mee)” Says the blond haired girl. (Note I’ll be using the Japanese form; last name followed by first name.)
“Bancroft (Ban-croft) Ruka (Roo-Ka)” Says the blue haired girl.
Both raise their weapons and prepare for a second attack. Ruka holds a sword, Nami holds a wave staff. Ruka, taking her sword in both hands holds it to her side pointing behind her at an angle. Nami holds her staff out straight towards Ruka.
Pg IIIV
“Yaburu Hanarete Tsuchi!” (Tear apart the Earth) Ruka Shouts as she brings her sword up around and down, gashing the ground and releasing an arching wave of bright red energy.
“Kōkan Shitagau!” (Submit change) Nami shouts as Ruka’s attack approaches.
Pg IIV
Nami vanishes and Ruka finds herself to be the target of her own attack. “!!!” Ruka barely dodges the attack as it slices through a section of the roller coaster. Quickly recovering from the surprise Ruka looks around desperately to find where Nami went.
Pg IV
Looking up she rolls out of the way as Nami comes crashing down on top of her, kicking up dust and dirt The smoke puffs away as Nami zooms out of the kicked up cloud of debris towards where Ruka escaped. Their weapons clash again, forcing Ruka to seek her bearings as she digs her feet into the ground, kicking up more debris as Nami pushes her up against a wall.
Pg V
Pulling back her weapon Nami goes for a power attack that crushes the wall to rubble but Ruka dodges under the blow and sends Nami sky bound with an upward double kick to the stomach.
PgIV
Recovering herself, Nami halts in midair and floats there clenching her stomach. Blood drips from the corner of her mouth. Staring down at the ground Nami sees Ruka staring back. Ruka begins to ascend, jumping from structure to ever higher structure. Nami recovers herself enough to lift her staff vertically over her head. “Sutareteiru magarikuneru saseru! (Dead Wind Eruption)” Nami Screams.
Pg III
A huge torrent of razor sharp wind spans out from Nami as she swings down her staff. The air becomes heavy and falls downward, annihilating everything in its path and catching Ruka in the middle of the blast, creating a huge cloud of smoke as it strikes the ground.
Pg II
-Kroooooom!- Debris falls everywhere, a large portion of the roller coaster collapses. Nami lands near a severely injured Ruka, blood gushes from open gashes all over her body. “I’ll ask this one more time.” Nami says. “Where is the Divining One? ”
Pg I
Ruka looks up into Nami’s eyes and smirks, a devilish smile spreads across her face. “Go to hell!” Ruka says, swinging her sword, slashing Nami’s chest. Nami staggers back in shocked surprise as blood seeps from the open wound.
-----------------
Chapter 2: Not really sure where chapter 1 went but I guess it's lost forever. Recovered chapter 2 from email correspondence.
“I’ve had some strange dreams in my past. Lately I have been having this one dream over and over. It’s a dream about someone calling to me in the dark from behind a closed door. I’ve never been able to open that door before but this time… something was different…”
Kazuki forces himself into a sitting position and the covers he’d pulled over his head fall into his lap. Yawning, Kazuki stretches his arms. “Since I was four years old I’ve lived in this mansion alone with Edward. The estate was owned by my father but passed to me after he died. Edward and I are the only ones here now.” Kazuki goes over to his closet and pulls out his school uniform, tossing it over a chair. “Kei’s my only true friend at school, and Sakura Tomochi is my current love interest, though she isn’t aware of it…” Kazuki pulls off his pajamas shirt, and tosses it into a hamper by the door. “Unfortunately fortune isn’t smiling on me today …” Kazuki pulls down his pajama pants and goes to step out of them but pauses. “Today I was going to find out one of many truths I’d yet to uncover but was soon to find out…” Kazuki reaches into his shorts. An expression of deep despair covers his face. (Those lines… whatever you call that expression) “It’s gone…” Kazuki says in silent horror. “That’s right, I’d become a girl overnight… How the hell that happened was beyond me but I was almost certain it had something to do with that dream…”
“You’re late.” Kei said as Kazuki walked to the street outside his house. “Shut up Kei.” Kazuki said with an irritated voice. “Ouch man, what’s that for?” Kei asked, feeling deeply hurt. “Nothing. Forget it.” Kazuki responded, shouldering his bag. <I can’t tell him I became a girl overnight…> Kazuki’s face flushed with horror at the thought of Kei finding out. “Why’d you come all the way here anyway?” Kazuki asked. “Aren’t you living in at the school dorms?”
“Yeah I am but I felt like coming over to make sure you came to school today.” Kei said with joy. Kazuki gave Kei a curious look. “I can’t wait till tonight!” Kei said in a tone that was a little too happy.
“So that’s how it is…” Kazuki mumbled taking the lead. “You said you’d come!” Kei ran to catch up to Kazuki’s pace. “hai… I guess I did…”
“You said you would. You can’t bail on me now!” Kei complained.
“Kei…”
“Yes Kazuki?”
“You… really need to find a better hobby…”
“Moe… you just don’t understand a guy’s need for stimulation that’s all.” Kei said giving Kazuki a friendly slap on the back. “I guess I just don’t consider it necessary that's all…” Kazuki said giving Kei a half smile.
Kei stopped walking and asked. “Kazuki. If Sakura asked you out right now would you say yes?”
“Like she’d ask me out.” Kazuki responded, blushing deep red.
“I knew it! So you really do have a crush on her!” Kei nudged Kazuki slyly. “Cut it out! She’d never do that!”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
“Eh?”
“Haven’t you heard?”
“Heard what?” Kazuki asked curiously.
“There’s a rumor going around that Sakura’s not interested in guys at all. Some of the guys from Class B-3 were even hinting that she might be gay.”
“Great--- just what I need to hear…” Kazuki said sarcastically, stepping up his pace to force Kei behind him again.
“No really it’s true.” Kei tried to explain but Kazuki wasn’t listening anymore.
As soon as the bells rang for lunch period Kazuki vanished to the roof and was now lying on the cement roof watching clouds go by. Reaching up with his right hand Kazuki blocked the sunlight with his palm. “Just what the hell is happening to me…” Kazuki thought to himself.
-----------------------------------------
Final chapter. I apparently Had the ending scene thought up. I guess what follows would technically be spoilers. Be careful if I ever do write this thing out and make a proper story with it.
Ryusuke walks along the road from the hospital. Stopping by the shore access he walks down to the beach and watches as the waves crash against the shore. “It’s been three weeks since the incident with Nobura” Ryusuke thinks to himself. Pulling his right hand out of his pocket he opens his hand to reveal the small black marble he was holding. “Chise…” Ryusuke spoke out loud as he recalled what chise had said to him. “Promise me you’ll bury it somewhere no one can find it.” She’d said. He remembered the long, solid tone of the hospital’s life support system after he’d accepted Chise’s soul into the gem. “I’ve lived for a long time and I’ve crushed the dreams and hopes of far too many people… A punishment like this… It’s fitting, don’t you think?” Ryusuke recalled the smile on Chise’s saddened face as she had said those words to him. Ryusuke stood a moment. Then pocketing the gem, he heads back towards the hospital.
Ryusuke enters the hospital ward. “Ryusuke? I thought you were heading home?” Ryusuke’s mom greets him as he enters her room. “I’d be too worried about you to get any sleep anyway.” Ryusuke shot back his usual light hearted remark. Knowing his mother’s history of health problems, his remark wasn’t a complete lie. Ryusuke sits down in a chair at his mother’s bedside “I can’t believe you and dad did it again… You know your health was bad enough after you gave birth to me…” Ryusuke’s mother hushes him by pressing a finger to his lips. “We wanted to try for a girl this time.” She said, smiling weakly. “Besdes… It’s been sixteen years since I had you. It’ll be alright.” “Yeah.” Ryusuke says as his tired mother quickly falls into a light sleep.
Ryusuke remains at his mother’s bedside for a while longer, watching the traffic that passes by outside the room while his mother sleeps. He then looks at his mother and puts his hand into his pocket, pulling out the small black marble containing Chise’s soul. Looking at it for a moment he goes over to his mother’s. “Please accept my apologize Chise.” Ryusuke says, clenching the marble in his fist as he kneels down to his mother. “I can’t keep my promise to you…” Ryusuke clasps his mother’s hand gently. “…because…” Ryusuke moves the hand holding the marble over his mother’s stomach. “…I believe in second chances” The black marble glows dimly as Ryusuke touches it to the blankets covering his mother. The light of the marble dims and becomes a transparent clear color. “Please stay with us a little longer…” Ryusuke smiles as he withdraws the marble from his mother’s womb, “My little sister.”
About the Marble: The marble is a soul gem, a magically enchanted item capable of sealing souls that cannot or will not rest. It is often used to halt the reincarnation of “Ever Sperits”, souls that, when their host body perishes, find a new vessel to inhabit. Chise’s soul is a form of Ever Sperit, however her type of Sperit can only exchange hosts with a living organism that has yet to obtain a spirit of its own and so she becomes reincarnated in a form of “rebirth”.
Ever Sperits maintain a link with their host body even after being forcibly ripped from it. It is for this reason that if the Ever Sperit is forced into a new vessel before the old one has perished they will automatically return to the previous body should the one they are forced to inhabit, perish.
I'm not 100% certain where I was going with it but I'm sure I could figure it out if I thought on it long enough.
Yes I was looking at older stuff of mine instead of writing the next chapter of my SH Story... Sorry my readers!

Chapter 2: Not really sure where chapter 1 went but I guess it's lost forever. Recovered chapter 2 from email correspondence.
Chapter 2 –
The chirping of birds could be heard outside. Sunlight gently streamed into Kazuki’s large room. Kazuki’s alarm goes off and he shuts it off, pulling the covers over his head. “Usume, your breakfast is ready. Please get ready.” Edward says as he walks into Kazuki’s room and draws the curtains open. Sunlight pours into the room, temporarily blinding Kazuki’s eyes as he pulls the covers even tighter over his head. “I’ve had some strange dreams in my past. Lately I have been having this one dream over and over. It’s a dream about someone calling to me in the dark from behind a closed door. I’ve never been able to open that door before but this time… something was different…”
