Okay, chapter 2! About time...

Yumeí: That's supposed to be my line!

Dream: Whatever. You do a lot of un-characteristic things in this chapter.

Yumeí: Hey!

Yumeí felt very self-conscious. The black ninja outfit that she had worn since her arrival to New Vestroia was not something you could wear on the streets of Alpha City. Not without attracting attention, at least.

Yumeí had come to the Vestal metropolis to acquire not only a gauntlet, but proper clothing. It would help her blend in with Mira's people. In any case, wearing a ninja stealth outfit 24/7 was not very comfortable, and it just didn't feel right when surrounded by the resistance, all in normal clothing.

It was not for the first time that Yumeí truly appreciated her morphing ability and royal power, despite that they had never been used for this purpose.

Closing her eyes, Yumeí exhaled as she felt herself transforming. Once she finished, she pulled out a Kunai knife to look at herself in the reflecting blade.

So this is how I'd look if I'd been born a Vestal.

Yumeí marveled at her short violet hair and dulled eyes-which had retained her shade of green.

Still, it was strange to see a Vestal dressed as a ninja, so Yumeí summoned the smoky doom energy, which promptly covered every bit of her but her face. The Kunai's reflection couldn't show her much, but she was sure that the clothing design was Vestal. Okay, more like Vestal-ish.

Leaning over the edge of the building she was crouched on, Yumeí lost her balance and fell about 20 or 30 feet to the ground. Yumeí was eternally grateful that it was into an alley that she had fallen, and not in the street.

Nothing seemed to be broken, so Yumeí joined the flow of Vestals, trailing after a large group of rowdy teenagers.

Seeing what she needed, she pulled herself from the river of people to slip inside a clothing store.

With some quick browsing, Yumeí found a black shirt that hinted at chinese/japanese design, and long black pants. She added a green choker necklace with the character for Kazami (風見) in the center of the round, bronze pendant. As she gazed in the mirror, she decided that the outfit was nice-looking, but still missing something...

Yumeí all but flew to the other side of the store, and grabbed the desired item: a long, deep purple trench coat. As she examined herself in the mirror, she took note of her bare arms and slipped on a pair of white elbow-length gloves that resembled. With a satisfied nod at her reflection, Yumeí redressed herself in her ninja outfit.

Slashing the air in front of her, Yumeí left a thin line of doom energy floating in air. Taking her chosen clothes, she dropped them over the line. Without a sound, they fell into the doom dimension.

After checking that she was alone, Yumeí leapt up tot he skylight of the changing room. Unlatching it, she slipped out onto the roof.

Pulling up her hood and face mask, Yumeí awkwardly started from roof to roof, moving on her way.

On the counter of the changing room, with her rejects, a small bag filled with precious vestroian minerals waited to be found. Payment for their services.

Yumeí: WHYDIDYOUHAVETOPUTTHISIN!?

Dream: Because I had to. E.O.C.

Yumeí: E.O.C.?

Dream: End of Conversation.

Yumeí: :(

Dream: Oh, well. Please review, and let me know what you think.
