Itsuki Minami stared around at his team silently asking them if they knew what was going on. Their expressions told him that they had no freaking idea. 'Holy crap,' Ikki thought, 'This was going to be bad. Really bad.' Five minutes ago Ikki, Kazu, Agito, Buccha and Onigiri had been sitting at the Noyamano's doing.. Well nothing really, they'd just been sitting there. All of a sudden Mikan came in and started shoving them out of the house and 'convincing' them to follow her.

Now here they were walking down the main street, following Mikan and trying to make sense out of the mumbling she was doing. All Ikki could understand was something about 'character building'. What the hell did that mean? Ikki was scared, Agito and Akito were talking, or arguing, with those two you couldn't really tell, especcially since you could only hear one side of the conversation. That and of course there's the fact that Agitoalways sounded angry, that didn't really help.

"We're here!" Mikan suddenly announced, stopping dead in her tracks and forcing the boys to pile up behind her, 'cause really, who wanted to be the one blamed for running into Mikan. Ikki looked at the store they were standing in front of. A hairdressers? What on earth?

"In, now, all of you, especially you, pretty boy," Mikan said ruffling Akito's hair, showing a rare sign of affection for Akito now that he and Agito had switched. The guys all crowded in, and stood around looking awkward, Kazu quickly reached up and removed his beanie and Buccha didn't really get why he was there, as he had no hair to speak of.

"Er.. Mikan-nechan what's...?" Ikki began but was quickly cut off by a rather familiar British accent.

"Now what have we got here, oh I do feel special, all of Kogurasu-maru coming to my little parlour." Spitfire said trying to smother laughter as he watched Ikki's team, waiting for their reactions, they didn't disappoint. Ikki nearly fell over he was sop surprised to see him. Onigiri.. well.. he just looked up the female hairdressers skirts.. nothing unusual about that.. Kazu blushed and tried to hide behind Buccha. Buccha looked bored, and hungry. Akito skated over and said hi, and promptly fell on his butt, cause the little guy can't skate to save his life. While Mikan just laughed with Spitfire. This was going to be a good day. For Mikan and Spitfire anyway. Maybe not so much for Kogurasu-maru.

"Hey little one, you're up first," said Spitfire, helping Akito up off the floor and over to a chair. "The rest of you just sit down and try to relax. K?"

While Spitfire trimmed Akito's hair Ikki tried to ask what was going on. Mikan was refusing to explain.

"Please Mikan? Me and the team will do your deliveries for a month? Please?" Ikki groveled, trying to appeal to Mikan, and failing.

"No chance crow boy, anyway get over there, it's your turn." Mikan said gesturing to where Spitfire stood over a chair looking decidedly menacing with a pair of sharp scissors in hand. "Go on, shoo." Ikki went off grumbling and plumped himself down on the seat Spitfire was waiting at. Akito settled into the seat next to Mikan and looked up at her.

"Agito knows what is going on you know, he's just refusing to tell me. I don't mind though, this is fun. It's really friendly here, and is it ok if I go talk to Nue-san? I saw him sneak out the back and I really want to say hi, please onee-chan..?" Mikan could handle Ikki's groveling, he'd been doing that most of her life, but Akito begging.. Who couldn't give into that?

"Just stay near by, everyone should be done in a few more minutes, ok?" Mikan said looking down at the gold-eyed boy.

"Kay!" said Akito and sped off, going this way and that until he made his way out to the back rooms where Nue was hiding.

"Hey Kazu-kun! It's your turn, come on over here!" Spitfire called. Kazu looked up, a blush still staining his cheeks and saw Spitfire standing behind a chair beckoning him.

"Yea, yea, I'm coming," Kazu grumbled and made his way over to the chair, and, much like Ikki had, slouched into the bottom.

"Kazu-kun you know I can't cut your hair while you sit like that, come on, sit up straight, please?" Simpered Spitfire quietly, so that only he could hear. Kazu just slouched a little more, then sat bolt up-right when Spitfire jabbed him in the ribs with a finger. "That's much better, thank you."

Kazu just glared into the mirror and tried to pretend this wasn't happening. The last time he and Spitfire had been this close.. No. He wasn't going to think about that. No way in hell was he going to think about that! Subtly Spitfire ran a finger along Kazu's jaw and laughed a little at the face Kazu made.

"Kazu-kun, are you just going to pretend that it didn't happen? That we didn't happen?" Spitfire murmured sadly. "My bed's been so cold, last night I reached over to pull your warmth to me but you weren't there. I miss you Kazu.. Please, come back?" Kazu felt something wet drop onto his head and as he glanced at Spitfire's face in the mirror he realized that he. That Spitfire, Ruler of the Flame road, was crying. Over himself no less. Kazu couldn't understand it, I'm nothing, I'm a nobody, why is he crying? This doesn't make sense.

"Come with me," said Kazu gruffly, getting out of the chair and grabbing Spitfire's arm, "Now." Kazu towed Spitfire into one of the toilet cubicles at the back of the shop and locked them in. "Spitfire.. How do you do this to me? I don't understand it! I've never... I've never liked men before.. but you.. How?" At this last outburst Kazu reached up and pressed Spitfire against the side of the cubicle, pressing his lips huingry against Spitfire's. When Spitfire parted his lips Kazu brushed his tongue inside, seeking out Spitfire's taste. As their tongues met and another fierce battle waged the two men grasped each other closer still and tried to bury their groans of pleasure. Finally the two men came up for air and as Spitfire nibbled gently on Kazu's collarbone Kazu realized that they couldn't do this, at least, not right now.

"Fire, we have to stop..." Kazu paused as Spit fire looked up at him beseechingly, "No, not for good, just right now, here. With all of my team mates out there.. and your clients. Come on, we'll make it look like we were discussing my hair okay? Better they think me vain than open for a quickie in the toilets."

"Kazu-kun.. Um.." Spitfire bit back a chuckle, "Unless you're forgetting, you are up for a quickie in the toilets. That is how we spent you second time, unless you've forgotten?" Spitfire murmured slipping his hand into the other boy's pants and pinching his ass.

"Fire.. don't.. please.. not here, or at least.. just wait.. just 'til I've done whatever is going down today. I'll come over to your place after ok? I promise." Spitfire grinned and tousled the younger boy's hair.

"I can't wait."

"What on earth took you guys so long in there?" asked Ikki when they came out of the toilets, about five minutes later.

"We were talking about something." said Spitfire absently. "Hey Mikan, am I allowed to dye Kazu's hair? I'd make it a lovely colour I promise!" Kazu, who had sat back into the chair span around and went wide eyed.

"Sorry Spitfire but no, I need them to have their hair natural for this, just give him a trim, okay?" From behind Spitfire's back Kazu smiled gratefully at Mikan, when Fire got into the dye pots you never knew what you were ghoing to end up with, and for that matter neither did he. He could breathe easy.. Perhaps.

Kazu's trim took a little longer than the others, which made sense in a way because Onigiri and Buccha basically just had a razor ran over their heads while Ikki and Akito had trims too, but their's were without the carefully discreet, torturous teasing of his lover. Suddenly Kazu wanted the day to go a hell of a lot faster. It didn''t.

Please review! ... Flamers..Please don't attack me.. Find something more constructive to do. I apologise if I have ruined your idea of Kazu, or any of the others, in any way shape or form. Please remember this is purely for entertainment k?
