Chapter 1: In Which There Is Clumsiness
"Ready KT?" Megan called.
"Ready!" Kt replied stepping out of their hotel and onto the street.
"Our first day in Japan! I'm excited!" KT exclaimed.
"Me too! Where to?" Megan asked as she linked arms with her best friend KT.
"Lets get some food!" Kt answered. KT and Megan had been waiting for this trip since...a really long time. Their first non parental, just two crazy friends, running rampant in Japan. KT stood at about 5'9" and enjoyed being tall very much. She was a brunette with green eyes and glasses. Megan had similar features. She also had green eyes and brunette hair but her hair had tints of red in it. She also rounded out to a height of about 5'9". KT and Megan were pretty big into anime and obsessed over Saiyuki and Inuyasha (mostly the hotness of Sesshomaru) the most. So they decided to broaden their horizons and travel to the home of anime. Anyways, moving on. KT walked down the street with a box full of sushi while Megan munched on fries that she got from a Japanese McDonalds. The thought of eating raw fish didn't appeal to Megan.
"Hey there's a costume shop! Lets go see!" Megan yelled. She barely paused a second before crossing the street. Kt was more cautious and actually walked in the crosswalk and met Megan on the other side. The two reunited and walked into the store.
The small store was filled to the brim with costumes. And also with lots of shiny things which attracted the girls like a light would a moth.
"Good afternoon ladies. Can I help you with anything?" the store owner asked. Megan's eyes went all swirly, like they would in an anime, as she gazed at the man. He had long silver hair, looked to be in his 20's, and large golden eyes. Basically…he was really hot. He smiled smoothly at them waiting for a response. He knew the affect he was having on them and he was enjoying it.
" N-no! We're just looking." KT stuttered.
"…yeah at you!" Megan said under her breath. KT wanted to smack Megan but simply tugged her away instead.
"Give me a call if you need anything." The man said turning away.
"…give me your number and I will…" Megan commented quietly. This earned her a smack upside the head from KT.
"What! You can't tell me that you weren't thinkin' it too!" Megan said in a hushed voice.
"Cheating on Sesshomaru are we?" KT said innocently. Megan gasped and put her hand over her heart dramatically.
"Never! But…what can I say they both have silver hair….silver hair I tell ya!"
"We're not here to look at hot guys!"
"Ah Ha! So you thought he was hot too! But aren't you forgetting about those 2 Asian twin guys that you wanted--!" Megan was cut off when KT punched her in the back.
They spent the next couple minutes fooling around and trying on various costumes. But all hell broke loose when they were looking at the crazy stage make up.
"This is almost blinding!" KT said referring to a bright, cotton candy blue eye shadow.
"Hey Kt check this out…kiss me!" Megan said puckering her lips that now showed a super bright bubble gum pink lip gloss.
"No thanks!" KT said with disgust. KT resumed her browsing of make up and reached for a purple eyeliner located on a high shelf when another nearby customer tripped over his own shoelaces and was sent crashing into KT. KT yelled out before nothing could be heard at all.
He had been watching the two teenagers for awhile. They were having fun just playing around. His thoughts then began to drift to his younger brother Yuki. Why could Yuki never open up to him? What was he doing wrong? His musings were brought to an end when he heard a crashing sound. He looked up just in time to see a thin layer of light green dust clearing away. One of the girls was standing there looking at the ground, terrified, while the other was nowhere to be found.
"…I'm sooo sorry! Please for give my clum…si...ness?" the man stuttered before breaking out in hysterics.
"Oh snap not again!" the girl said raising a hand to cover her forehead and closing her eyes. He quickly began to walk over to them. The customer was hysterically laughing now and he was about to ask him what was wrong when the girl created a distraction.
"Oh! The thing! It fell!" she said pointing behind the customer at nothing in particular. She put no enthusiasm or acting into it whatsoever but the customer fell for it and frantically looked around. While the customer was concerned with the "thing", the girl quickly scooped something off the floor. He thought he saw a glimmer of orange. She then turned to him.
"Is everything al--?" he began but she cut him off.
"Do you have a bathroom!" she asked franticly. Why would she need a bathroom? Where did her friend go? Nevertheless.
"Umm yes its in the back…" he said pointing out the way. She followed his point and made a mad dash for the bathroom. He watched her with curiosity as she quickly slammed the door and running water could soon be heard. What was going on?
Megan ran for the bathroom. This was the 2nd time this month for KT. She slammed the door and quickly turned on the sink and began to fill it with water so it was like a tiny pool. She then dropped a medium sized, orange and white, koi that was KT into it. Megan turned off the faucet and now stared at "KT".
"Well this is awkward. I'm swimming in a sink, in a costume shop, in Japan." KT said poking her head above the surface. "Well this day just got ruined!"
"It most certainly did not! You'll only be this way for a few minutes. I'll go get your clothes and then when you change back, we will walk out of here like nothing happened." Megan said trying to cheer KT up.
"Have fun explaining this to that guy you like so much." KT said. Megan knew how hard it was explaining to people this "condition". She had it too. But she didn't turn into a koi. She turned into something….else. Her little brother and someone else they knew had it to. She had the mot trouble explaining herself.
"I'll go get your clothes." Megan said leaving the bathroom. She was faced with Mr. Hottie who was leaning casually on the wall. Megan stopped and blushed.
"What was that?" he asked.
"What was what?" Megan asked trying to play dumb.
"Where is your friend?" he persisted. Clearly, Megan wasn't getting out of this. For all she cared, the guy could think she was a total nutcase. What happens in Japan….will hopefully stay in Japan. But right now, KT's clothes were the top priority.
"One minute…don't go in there." She said jabbing her thumb back at the door before going to collect KT's clothes. She returned and knocked on the door. There was no answer.
"KT? It's me. Are you back yet?" she asked. There was still no answer.
"Obviously not. Well, here're your cloths." Megan said opening the door a crack and tossing the cloths on the floor. She then shut the door and sighed.
"This is incredibly awkward." She said to no one in particular.
"What is going on?" the silver haired man asked. Megan paused a second before leaning on the door.
"Trust me…you don't wanna know." She said looking at the man out of the corner of her eye. Then, out of the blue, he gently grabbed her chin and turned her head so that she was facing him.
"No I really think I do." He said with their noses almost touching. Megan was now blushing like crazy. How were you supposed to say no to that!
"Um! Erm! O-okay!" she stammered being far beyond freaked. He let go of her chin and backed up (much to Megan's relief).
"Well, KT and…and I…I'm Megan by the way, have this…"condition"." Megan began. How could she say this in the simplest way?
"Condition?"
"Yes…well…it's…um…in a nutshell, when KT and I are hugged by a guy, we turn into members of the zodiac." She explained. The man straitened and simply blinked at her.
"Crazy I know but it's the truth." She continued.
"The zodiac?"
"Yes I know it's completely and totally--!"
"Time to go!" Kt finished Megan's sentence as she flung open the door and grabbed Megan and began to drag her out of the store. But they were stopped by a woman in a maid costume and braided pigtails.
"Wait! You have to let me dress you!" she said reaching for the girls.
"Uhh sorry but…" KT dodged her hands "but we've had enough of dress up for today." She said walking out of the door with Megan in tow.
Once outside, KT began her rant.
"Thanks a lot Chatty Kathy!" she said.
"You didn't see what he was doing to me! He was this close to raping me!" Megan said measuring a small chunk of air with her fingers. Though she knew she was exaggerating a little. Ok…a lot.
"And besides, it's not like he knows us." Megan said trying to clear her name.
"Let me lead you in a little flash back…KT and…and I, I'm Megan…end flashback. Remember now?'
"Oops." Megan said nervously biting a nail. KT glowered at her a moment before softening.
"Well, lets go before we get new white jackets." Kt said. Megan laughed and they then began to walk down the street. Little did they know, that the silver haired store owner had watched the little scene from the window since they didn't bother to move away from the front of the store. He made a mental note to tell Shigure and Hatori about this later.
