She's a prince? Chapter 3
Killer turned to the old woman, "obaa-san, why is the prince here?" he asked, slightly confused.
"For a mask of course" the women said as if it were obvious.
"Yeah, I can see that, I mean why doesn't he just get someone to bring a ton up to the palace"
The old women chuckled, "he doesn't like people doing things for him, he likes to do things himself, and anyway, his an old customer, just like I said" and with that she walked off to the opposite side of the shop to law, where all the clothing was. "Now let's see" she mumbled looking through piles of clothing and other things. "Ah-ha" she shouted, pulling out an Alice band with a pair of cat ears stuck on it, "come here Kid-kun" she called him over.
Kid eyed the hair accessory, looking slightly worried, but walked over all the same, crouching down so he was at the woman's height. Before he could do anything the woman had removed the goggles that had be keeping the hair out of his eyes and replaced them with the head band, pushing the hair back. She chuckled slightly at Kids surprised face and flicked one of the cat ears.
"They suit you" Killer laughed, causing kid to growl at him, much like a cat, which just mad killer laugh harder.
"OI! Get here you bastard, laughing at me" Kid shouted, jumping at the blond haired man.

(Law)
Law looked over the masks, there were thousands to choose from and he was having a hard time deciding. He had narrowed it down to masks with yellow, black and silver on, or with one or two of those colours. Sighing he put a hand to his chin and pondered once again what mask would look best with the, ugh, he shivered, dress. Looking at the corner of his eye he saw something shine, looking over he saw it was an almost metal mask. The main body of it was black, but from around the eyes gold/ yellow swirls curled out and off from the main mask. (a/n. I actually found the perfect mask on google, the colours aren't how I've described so I'm gonna just gonna trace it and colour it differently, I'll post it on my d.a. as soon as I get it done)
Walking over to it law picked it up, holding it in his hands it seemed to be lighter than what it looked, and on the swirls of yellow there was silver glitter, making it shine and sparkle. Grinning law raised it to his face and tried it on. It was a perfect fit, and no strings were needed as it pinched his noes slightly and hugged the sides of his face so it wouldn't fall off. Satisfied he removed it and walked over to where obaa-san and the two men had gone.
He was a little surprised to find the two men rolling around on the floor fighting, Eustass having a pair of cat ears on his head. Looking up he saw obaa-san grinning at them, and chuckling every now and then. Whistling he caught her attention and waved her other. Once she was beside him he showed her the mask, "this one is fine, how much will it cost?"
Taking the mask the women walked over to the counter and began wrapping it up and putting it in a box so that it wouldn't get damaged. "That will be 200,000 beli" she said, handing the bag over to him.
Taking the bag Law nodded and gave her the money, before turning to see the two men still rolling around on the floor. Chuckling he placed the bag on the counter and walked over to the two, deciding to have a little fun. Walking over to the two men he stood in front of them, "Aww look at the kawaii neko-chan, does the neko-chan want some milk?" law teased.
Kid hearing the words growled and pounced at Law, forgetting who he was.
Laws saw Kid pounce at him, and found him was falling over before he could stop himself. Hitting his head on the floor Law winced and closed his eyes. When the falling stopped he lifted his head and rubbed the sore spot at the back of his head. Opening his eye he came face to face with a red Eustass, who was breathing slightly heavily, their noses almost touching. Laws eyes widened and he gulped audibly, trying to stop the blush that was crawling across his cheeks. Wow his pretty hot up- . . . hang on what? Law shrieked in his head, the light blush on his cheeks darkening at his thoughts.
Calmly Law stated, "Eustass-ya, would you be so kind as to get off me" in mock politeness.
Hearing law speak spurred Kid in to action and he quickly got off the poor prince. "ah, gomenasai" he said bowing at the waist, as Law got off the ground. But Kid looked up when he heard the last thing he expected, laughing.
Law laughed at him, "you're such a baka" he said chuckling, "I guess I did deserve it a little, you don't need to apologise" and with that Law put his cloak back on with the hood up and picked his bag up from the counter, walking out the door, but not before throwing a grin over his shoulder at kid who was stood there gapping. "You're gonna catch flies like that" he said and then closed the door.
Kid shut his mouth and continued to stare at the door before turning to Killer, pointing towards the door, "did that just happen?" he asked disbelievingly. Killer nodded.
"right, anyway" the old woman said clapping her hands, "the ears look fine, now you just need a tail" and with that she walked over to where she had found the ears and pulled out a tail, "you can probably where a black suit with a red shirt underneath, and just pin this to your trousers" she said, holding up the tail. "So now that Kiddy-Kun has his costume, what should we do about Killer-kun?"
Kid nodded at the costume idea, "Oi!" he shouted "don't call me Kiddy" he shouted, crossing his arms over, looking just like a little kid.
The woman smirked and chuckled, not saying anything and just turned to Killer. "Hmm, I can probably just braid feathers into your hair on the night" she said, "and I guess you could also wear a black suit, and I could stich feathers onto the back and arms"
"That would be fine" Killer said nodding his head, "but you have to get the feathers out afterwards"
"good" said the old women before turning and walking away, "now, masks, though killer-kun doesn't really need one" she chuckled. Once at the mask side of the shop she began looking through them, "see anything you like, just point it out to me" she said, and with that they all started looking for a mask.
Killer found his first, it was a simple brown mask that covered just the eyes and nose, the edges surrounded by small brown feathers, and the bit that covered the nose was black and hooked like a beak, with a yellow strip at the top. After about an hour of looking obaa-san finally found the perfect mask for kid. It was a gold mask that covered the forehead to halfway down the cheeks. The eye holes were rimmed in black and beneath them a white line curved from the outer corner of the eyes down towards where the nose would be, it also had a painted black nose and dots for whiskers. from the bridge of the nose down it was white and stretched out into the shape of the top half of a cats mouth.(a/n. I'm referring to this mask; art/Leo-Lion-Zodiac-Leather-Mask-384642731, just without any of the flamey bits and the crown thingy, or the ears)
With the both of them having their costumes Kid and Killer paid, leaving the stuff there so that the old women could help them get ready tomorrow, before the ball.

Law climbed back through the hole in the hedge and quickly ran to penguin and shachi's room, (their room as they shared). Pushing open the door he walked in to find penguin on top of Shachi, whilst pinning his hand above his head. "err. . . I can come back later" law said, turning back to the door.
Shachi and Penguin gave each other horrified looks, before shouting, "Law, no it's not what it looks like!" in unison.
Snickering Law turned around, "oh it's pretty clear to me." At this both Shachi and Penguin blushed a deep red, and Penguin got off Shachi, pulling him up. They looked at the floor mumbling and stuttering negatives of what Law was accusing them. Chuckling he asked "what were you two doing anyway?"
"err we were err" Shachi started, "well we were having a tickle fight" he said getting quieter and quieter, his cheeks reddening further.
Law just smirked at the two's antics as he took of the cloak and chucked it to a corner of the room. Showing them the bag he had hidden beneath it. "well, I found one" he said lifting the bag up. Shachi and Penguin looked at each other before running over and grabbing the bag, opening the box and unwrapping the mask so they could see it.
Penguin whistled as he saw it, "that's pretty nice" he said, whilst Shachi nodded his head, he held out the mask to law, gesturing him to put it on. Sighing law took it and put it on. The two looked at it for a minute before turning to each other, Shachi grabbed Penguins arm and dragged him to the far corner, where Law watched them have a whispered conversation, the both of them nodding their head before walking back over to him. "Law, you know, if you don't want anyone to find out you're a guy, You're gonna have to . . ." Penguin trailed off and looked to Shachi.
Law turned to Shachi who fidgeted slightly under his gaze, "y-you're gonna have to, em, err shave" he said, gesturing to Laws goatee and side burns. (a/n. sorry guys, hopefully I can make it grow back soon .)
Law reached a hand up to stroke his goatee, sighing he dipped his head, "I guess I am, and people would know who I was if I didn't as well" holding his chin he thought for a second, "I guess I'll just have to completely shave my goatee off, though I can probably get away with just trimming my sideburns" he said, looking at the two in front of him for their thoughts.
"yeah, that could work" said Shachi, "but what bout your arms?" he asked,
"my arms?" law questioned
"yeah, the dress doesn't have sleeves, so, and if you don't want people to know you're a guy, you should, you know shave you're armpits as well" Shachi said awkwardly.
Law removed the mask and gave them both a defeated look, "I think I'm gonna end up turning into a women" he whimpered slightly, before turning to wrap the mask back up and put it in its box. Shachi and Penguin gave him a pitied look.
