Chp 2: Makeover.
"When can I start?" Alex asked surveying Rin as if she were a lamb stripped for the slaughter. Kohaku smiled indulgently and pronounced, "Anytime you'd like to sweeting, though the quicker the better I always say. And while you two girls are playing dress up…I'll be getting Rin out of her school and into my own." With that he flicked a hand over his shoulder and turned around, intent on getting to his room. Rin watched helplessly as he rounded the corner and was gone.
Then a tinkling laugh opened up and Rin turned to find Alexandra headed towards the bathroom. "Don't look so forlorn darling!" She said merrily, her Americanized drawl taking flight across the room. "C'mon now, I have to wash your hair and then give it a good cutting…and just to make this even harder on you…" She said happily. "I'm not going to let you get anywhere near a mirror until I'm done! Just like that TV show!" Rin rolled her eyes heavenward and followed obediently.
This wasn't going to go well…she just new it wasn't going to go well. As Rin turned the corner into the bathroom Alex coming out, stopped her. "No, no, no!" Alex exclaimed in exasperated tones. "This will never be big enough!" Rin gasped as Alex grabbed her hand and made for the living room once more. "This will be much more fitting!" Alex said, her voice rife with merriment.
Rin groaned inwardly as Alex dragged a chair over for her to sit in. "This will only take a little while." Alex assured her then picked up a hunk of Rin's only claim to womanhood. "Well…it might take longer than I expected…you do have such wondrous hair…it is a shame to see it wasted…" Alex remorsefully set Rin's hair back down and went to the kitchen, claiming a giant pot of warm water and tablecloth for her task.
"Just one more sec…I have to get some shampoo." Rin listened as Alex's heels clicked smartly on the title floor as she went to and returned from the bathroom. "Okay…now let's see…ohh…this won't do." Rin heard Alex click around until she was standing in front of her, a slight frown creasing the smooth skin of her brow. Then the crease cleared and Alex snapped her fingers. "That's it darling! Here, come and sit on the floor on the other side of the coffee table." Alex grabbed Rin's hand and directed her to her new seating position.
"Now, I'll put the bucket of warm water right here and I'll wash your hair!" Rin had a slithering of doubt run down her spine when her neck hit the first awkward position Alex had stated. For about thirty minutes it went on like this. Rin getting cricks in her neck as Alex tried a quickly as possible to wash every lock of Rin's hair. After this was done, Alex went to fetch a towel and gently dried off some of the water from Rin's hair.
"Okay…now comes the worst part…" Rin gulped and braced herself as Alex drew the first strokes of the brush through her hair. "Ow, ow, ow." Rin squealed as Alex hit a particularly rough tangle. "Well I'm sorry hun but it has to be done…otherwise this is never gonna work." Alex voice soothed away some of the pain and Rin focused on it…not even aware when the brush stopped and Alex began to hack off the first delicate strands of night colored hair.
"All right hun. All done." Rin sighed in relief as Alex pulled away from her hair. But when Rin reached a hand up to run her fingers through the long locks one last time…all she encountered was air. Frantically she reached for the top of her head. Soft wisps of fine, short hair, shifted through her fingers like velvet. "Wha-when did you?" Rin began watching as her reflection slowly came into focus in the small mirror Alex held out to her.
"You fell asleep as I was cutting." Alex said scoldingly, watching as Rin's eyes bulged at the mirror in her hand. Rin felt faint as she saw just how short her hair really was. They black locks were cut just a little past the tops of her ears, giving her a shaggy…young boy look. Somehow tidbits of different shades of brown had been filtered into the black, giving it wet bronze color; maybe wet dirt was more like it. "Alex I just came in to see how- holy sweet mother of Mary Jesus! What have you done to my baby sister!"
Weeeeeeeeelllllll…that was…bad…I promise the next one will have thrills that give you chills…well…one thrill at least. Thank you for the reviews and please continue to read Bi school!
