"That cow! After everything I've done for her..."

Paul sighed as he realised the gravity of the situation. His supposed girlfriend Reiko had duped him. He fell in love with a girl from Japan and she took him for a real ride. She cleaned him up good, took all of his money when she got access to his accounts. Of course Paul wasn't supposed to know this, he only twigged when his accountant had called while Paul was at work to discuss some financial debauchery. From there, the pieces fell into place. Still, at least Paul had one positive to look at; he knew when he was supposed to be in the dark. Plus, Reiko's "holiday" back to Japan wasn't until next week, so he still had time to something.

"But what!? Paul cried to nobody in particular. He was sitting in his car, which was a rather nice place to be all things considered. Being bossy but charismatic had its advantages, he was in a dead end real estate gig but got hauled up the corporate ladder - and so did his paycheck. Only now...

The money was gone. Paul knew he could make it back, but it burned him to know how long it would take to get back what he had if he had to earn it again. Paul was still young, only 28 years of age, but he wasn't getting younger. He dreamed of buying a brand new house for himself and another for his parents, he didn't want to wait any longer when he was so close. He looked in the car mirror and stared at this reflection, he was still the same handsome devil he mused. He had short, dark brown hair that was combed into a nice style with a neatly trimmed beard. Eyes the colour of mahogany looked over his features, from his partially receded hairline to his slightly off-centered nose received in high school.

He sighed as he looked at the front door of his apartment block; he had been sitting outside for, hang on, how long had he been there? He glanced at his watch - 6:55 pm. Great, he was so lost in thought he had been sitting there an hour. He hauled his sorry form out of his car and locked it, he didn't care if he was parked on the street tonight. As he was about to walk inside, he saw a strange old man standing near the door, beckoning to come closer. Paul shrugged and decided to see what the guy wanted.

As he approached, the man started speaking with a strange look in his eye.

"So young man, how can I help you?" He asked in a raspy, almost sing-song tone.

Paul thought for a moment before replying, "I-I'm not sure... I have a lot on my mind but I don't know what to do."

Paul did not know why he was talking so freely, something about the elderly gentleman provoked him to talk.

"Trouble with the partner I assume?" The old man asked.

Startled, Paul had to think for a moment as he was caught completely off guard. "Yeah, just a bit."

The old man thought for a moment while staring into Paul's eyes. Paul felt uneasy, but couldn't look away at this point. The man's eyes were, comforting? No, but something else certainly. After a brief moment that seemed to last a lifetime, the man spoke.

"Ohoho, I see the trouble my boy. Your partner has betrayed your trust, now you seek retribution!"
"But ho-"
"Never mind that lad, I have something that will not only even the score, but will make your remaining years far happier!"

He pulled a strange device out of his pocket.

"Here, take this my boy. When the time comes, you will know what to do."

"How will I know though?" Paul asked in confusion.

The reply came, "oh I don't know now, but I know you'll know it when you know it!"

Paul looked at the device, it was a rather odd thing. It looked like a gear with etchings of 3 more concentric gears. The side with the etching was flat, however the other side was partially tapered and was warm to the touch. Paul looked up to thank the man and ask how much, but he was long gone. Utterly confused, Paul entered his apartment complex and hit the button on the elevator for the 12th floor. During the elevator ride and subsequent walk down the hallway, he was utterly lost in what had just transpired. As he got to his door, he was about to unlock it when it swung open of its own accord. This time however, there was no old man, but Reiko standing there. All of a sudden, everything he learned that day came flooding back and he almost betrayed his knowledge. However, with quick thinking he pretended to cough to hide the face he had just pulled.

"Hey hachimitsu!" Reiko exclaimed as she hugged him. Whatever she was among being a liar and a thief, she was also apparently a damn good actor. Paul returned the gesture, deciding to play along until he figured out what to do. He decided against confronting her, as this would just end with her denial of guilt and fleeing before dawn. Instead, he went through his evening routine of undressing, showering and putting on pyjamas. When he came out and entered the main living area, Reiko signalled that dinner was almost ready. With that, he walked over and sat on one of the bar stools while watching her.

As he watched her, he once again saw that beauty that led him to her -  as big a mistake as that was. She was beautiful, stunning really. Paul never really saw himself with an Asian girl, he always was drawn to Northern European women more but Reiko was something else.

Where to start!

She has the most beautiful brown eyes, shaped like slightly rounded almonds. Her nose was a little big, but did not protrude much and perfectly suited her face. Those lips of red, oh god those lips... Her hair fell around her face in a brown, neck length bob with bangs swept just above one eye. She was amazing to look at, a real vision of beauty.

During dinner, conversation was pleasant for now; Paul decided to keep quiet for now. Instead, he steered the conversation to make it about how good she looked. Playing into her vanity always worked he reminded himself.

"Sweetie, would you please give me a back rub tonight?" she enquired.

The nerve! Paul was quietly stewing on his own rage, before he replied in the affirmative.

"Great!" she replied, "I might just have something special for you too!" she added before giving him a peck on the cheek and taking away the dishes. Instead of saying anything, Paul just walked to the bathroom to relieve himself.

When he locked the door he muttered something about being already surprised before noticing the device from earlier sitting on the bench near the shower. He realised he must have placed it down before getting in the shower and forgot to grab it when he got out. suddenly, he cracked a mischievious smile not unlike the Christmas Grinch. He decided that whatever this thing did, he would use it during the back rub as that would be the best time. After using the bathroom, he walked out into the bedroom and hid the device away before calling Reiko into the bedroom for her massage.

Two minutes later, Reiko walks in and disrobes in front of Paul. Now, while this was nothing unusual, Paul nevertheless marvelled at her body. Her curvaceous frame, her peky c-cup breasts and her heart shaped posterior, he loved it all. She stripped down to her blue panties and with a wink, slid onto the bed face down. As she lay on the bed, Paul grabbed the device and stared at it for a moment before..

He suddenly had an overwhelming urge to place it on her back. Not sure why, he took the device and placed it engraved side up at the base of her neck. Despite having considerable depth to it, the object slid right in to her back until it was level with her skin. It obviously caused no pain as Reiko had not yet said a word. Once the device was in her back, he pressed the middle of it, not sure what would happen.

What did happen took him completely by surprise. The device made a whirring sound as the inner engravings started to spin until strange symbols lined up. Then there was the sound of rushing air as Reiko's body...STARTED TO DEFLATE!?

Paul watched in unbridled horror as Reiko's form slowly deflated in front of his eyes, her body becoming flat and lifeless in time like a vaguely human shaped blanket. Once she had finished deflating, Paul slowly stretched a hand out to the still pile on their bed and prodded it. The skin was still warn to the touch, only now there was no air in the body. Upon closer inspection, Paul fund the culprit; a slit ran perfectly from where the device had been placed to just above Reiko's bottom. He grabbed the skin and looked at it before a horrible, cruel smile crossed his face. Paul was normally a nice (if a little arrogant) guy with never any intention to follow through on any malice wished. This however...

Paul stripped off, he decided it would be good for a laugh if he took some pictures in her skin before restoring her. Blackmail is usually a good start to getting back at someone who has wronged you right? Right, he decided to go ahead with this idea.

He slid one leg inside Reiko's hollow, hairless leg until his toes reached hers. One thing that was unusual though (aside from the whole scenario), was that Reiko's leg did not grow at all. Instead, it stayed the same size it was when it wasn't a suit, yet Paul had full control over it. Intrigued, Paul slid the other leg on to yield the same result. Once both legs were in the suit, he slid the suit up to just underneath his junk, which by this time was practically throbbing from arousal. Carefully using one hand to hold his member to his abdomen, he used the other hand to slide the suit over it. Once he pulled the suit up to his chest, the bulge from his erection was...gone!?

Paul pulled the suit down again past his crotch and was relieved to see his member standing proudly as ever. Content, Paul pulled the suit back up to just above his stomach before thoughts turned to genitals again, but not his this time. He gingerly slid a hand down his...her abdomen (for he was all woman below the chest now) until it sat just where his penis would normally be. He then gingerly moved it down a little further until he suddenly felt a jolt as a finger disappeared inside his nether-regions. The sound of a very manly moan reminded him that he was not yet done. Hurriedly, he slipped both arms into the suit and felt the seam in the back seal up. Panicking, Paul pulled the suit away and was relieved to see it complied. The suit is 100% under his control and he can remove it at any time he reasoned.

With this, he re affixed the suit to his torso and stood up. He walked over to a mirror to the most astonishing sight; his head sitting on the dream body of his gir- EX girlfriend. The only thing that lookd even stranger however, was Reiko's deflated head hanging from his neck like a reverse hood. With nervous excitement, Paul slid the mask up and over his head, making sure to align up the eyes, ears, nose and mouth so he could see, hear and breath respectively. Once this was done, there was another whirring sound as the device on hi- her back now - sealed the suit. There was then a melting sensation where the device was implanted, Paul turned around to see the device disappear into her back! Paul concentrated really hard for the device, and was relieved once again to see it appear on demand.

With this, Paul turned back to face the mirror front on. Now, standing in the mirror was Reiko's drop dead gorgeous body staring back at him. Her he sliently reminded himself, for he was now Reiko in body...
