I do not own Skip Beat.
Enjoy!
As promised, when Ines was done with her latest victim of the night, the drunk and sleeping man was thrown out of the house and put in a nearby park.
Could the man get robbed?
Probably.
But it wasn't there problem.
Over the year's, a lot had changed for Japan.
Technology had advanced forward and people were living more advanced live's than in the 'Ren Tsuruga' era.
It was common to see kid's, swaving down the street on hoverboard's, something that had only been fictional a couple of year's ago, there was even real holographic screen's and hovering vehicle, that only the rich could afford, since they had to yet be massed produced.
So when people saw a ridiculous stretched out, 'badzzled' hovering limousine, they just know whoever was in there was filth rich and highly important.
That's why the vehicle attracted such a crowd and the shop's surrounding it, worker's had come out to see who would grace them, with their presence today.
It certainly wasn't Lory Takarada, since the man didn't own a limousine that long, nor was he scheduled to pick up anything, today from this part of Town.
So who was it?
They were all about to find out, when the driver turned off the engine, wearing his hat, and stepped out in a classy driver's uniform, before slowly making his way to the passenger door.
They all certainly didn't expect, the eight people dressed in servant clothes to walk out and position themselves into two straight line's in front of the shop infront and bow.
Out stepped a young look women who just ozzed sex appeal with a hint of goth, she wore a tight black short dress that didn't reach to her knees, with fishnet tight's with high heels and a big fur coat, but the most distinct feature about her, was her bright orange hair and red eyes, that was almost hidden away by her black shades that she placed on her head.
Everything about her screamed, of the finest thing's in life.
Lot's of people turned to look her way, several guy's blushed and had interest in their eyes, even if they were out with their girlfriend's.
The male, that followed her, was dressed well, dressed in a blue striped shirt underneath a sleeveless suit jacket and designer jean's and boot's, but the most striking feature about him was that he had actual silver hair and red eyes!
The young man, was young and handsome, he was practically sparkling, as he walked behind the female, and lot's of female couldn't help but turn his way.
Everything about them screamed money.
Ch 4: A very expensive shopping trip.
Both Ines and Theo, walked into the shop in front of them, following behind them, were the servants they had taken along.
The reaction of the people inside the clothes store and worker's, was absolutely hilarious, when they came in, Ines practically strutted in, like she owned the place.
While Theo wasn't proud enough to put swagger into his footstep's, he certainly wasn't walking like an average man.
To think, he would one day be wearing jean's again, after he had hit the age of 20.
It felt like eternity, since he had worn something so casual, instead of a suit, he had forgotten how comfortable it felt, to walk down the street and not have to worry about getting a certain part of his clothes wet or dirty, since he always's had to look his best.
"Can, I help you with anything?" Said, a female clerk, seeing them enter the store. The two were basically reeking of money and that meant, they had just become the stores number one priority, until they leave.
Were they famous model's? Both of them are very good looking, she couldn't help but note, were they related?
"….I suppose you'll have to do, for now." Ines said, looking at the human in front of her with disinterest. "I'm looking for something black and sleek, with pattern's on it, so that I can wear it once and receive lot's of compliment's, before locking it away."
And if the worker was offended by her attitude, she certain didn't show it and continued smiling.
The worker would have asked Theo if he was looking for something, but this was a women clothing store, he was only really there to be a second opinion, at best.
"I'm sure, we have many pieces of clothing, that fit that requirement." The women said, still smiling as she began to show Ines some top's that she would either hate or consider changing into.
Ines proved to be very difficult, as she was went back and forth from the dressing room, seemly unsatisfied with what she had chosen, despite them looking great on her.
Ines, just didn't do great.
She did fantastic.
That's why, he dreaded going shopping with Ines, since she could spend day's, just deciding on something.
Luckily the fact, she wanted to visit other store's today had pushed her forward, and she was soon dropping clothing's into the basket.
"I'm done" She said, clearly looking unsatisfied, despite the pile she had assembled.
One of the servants took the pile of clothes to counter, and the counter person was amazed at the pile in front of him.
At took quite some time to scan in before saying.
"Will, you be paying in cash or credit card?"
The look of absolute shock when Theo opened his wallet and began to whip out several 10, 000 yen bill's, which was about 90 USA dollar's per bill, before putting it on the counter.
Both the worker's and those shopping, looked shocked at the large amount of money that was casually put on the counter.
The counter man, could only shake as he took the money and tried to give him change since he had obviously over paid.
"And, would you like a premium bag, sir?" The Counter man said, shocking those who shop at the store regularly, since this was the first time they heard of it.
And if they complained, the workers would simply say, that if they shopped, with this kind of cash with them, than they would be offered the bag to.
"I don't really care, just make sure the clothes are packed." Theo said, changing his voice easily, he learnt that Vampire were master's of blending into their surrounding's, so changing his voice, so he mistaken as a Foreigner, who was just visiting was super easy for him.
The counter man nodded, as he got out a shiny looking big bag and began to pack the clothes inside and Theo just handed him some of the change given to him, which he got, change back for it.
He immediately snapped his finger's and one servant automatically came and carried the bag.
More than one person was looking one with wide eyes, as they all turned around to leave.
No doubt, most of the store where whispering amongst themselves, wondering about the two identity.
#With Ines and Theo#
"You did well in there." Ines said, leaning in and whispering in his ear, their appearance was drawing attention.
And Theo wanted to smile, it was rear that he was so commanding, usually he was the one taking order's from somebody else.
Dissolving, into his usual self here, would only cause problem's, here, so he merely, said.
"What, store, do you want to try out next?"
Ines made a show thinking about it, before saying. "Let's go and get something for you." And before he know what was happening, he was being dragged into an expensive looking male only store.
Immediately, the store worker's gave them, their attention seeing them enter, clearly looking rich.
"I want him, stripped down and placed in clothe's, only I approve of" Ines ordered, to one of the servants.
"Yes, mistress Ines." One of the servants said.
But instead of going to the changing room's, the servants made their own make-shift changing room right in the middle of the store and went to undress him.
If that didn't say high class, they didn't know what did.
"Master Theo" One servant said, presenting him with expensive branded short's, which he took.
And every time, he tried something on, a lit bit of skin was exposed to the outside world, the female workers at the shop, were blushing.
Master Theo? Some of the man worker's thought, just what family was he from, to think going to a regular changing room was beneath him?
Plus that Orange haired women, was super hot.
When they fished, Ines flashed a golden card to pay for his stuff, which was shakingly received.
"You" Ines said, turning to one of the servants.
"Yes, Mistress Ines?" The man said, out in public on the street, naturally this was catching attention.
"Find us, somewhere to eat. I'm hungry" Ines, latching onto Theo arm.
"Right away, Mistress" The man said, before leaving with a bow.
Ines and Theo entered a jewelry shop while they waited and the workers, were especially helpful to them, once, they saw their expensive piece's of clothing.
An hour later they walked away, leaving a very happy store, the man they had sent out to find them a place to eat, came back with information.
They used the limousine to get there destination, because they didn't want to walk such a long distance.
So imagine the shock, the food shop 'Vineyard' when a flying limousine pulled up and out stepped two, people, who could be easily mistaken as model's.
Both of them, had decided to leave their stuff inside since it was safer there.
Their appearance was obviously attracting attention, a lot of people turned to look their way, as they walked into the food establishment and found somewhere to sit.
A worker was quickly employed to their side.
"And what can I get you both?" The women said, being extremely polite, in front of the glamorous dressed and extremely rich looking pair of people.
She tried not to stare at their strange hair colour's and red eyes.
"Give us, some tea and make sure, we can taste the tea." Theo said, drawing a smile on Ines face, it seemed he was really in the zone.
"Yes, sir" The woman said, turning back and hurrying back.
Several people in the shop couldn't help but stare at the very glamorous looking pair.
There was just this air around them, that just wasn't normal.
"Look at those people over there" Somebody whispered, not that far from them. "What strange hair colour. One, has orange and the other has silver, do you think they dyed it?"
"The hair is real. I can tell if it's dyed." Another person said. "And they both have red eyes! Do you think, their related? Just who are they?"
"That woman is hot. Should I ask her out, if it turn's out, their not dating?" One guy said, as several oogled Ines from afar.
"If they are. Than you got no chance. Do you see how the guy in front of her looks and smell like money? I bet, he can buy and sell you, if you were on sale." Another guy said. "Forget her, she look's like the kind of girl who, you would have to sell your own house for her, just to stay with you, for a day"
"But, wouldn't it be nice, to have a girl like that on your arm?" The other guy said, sighing.
"Here, is your tea" The women worker said, gently putting both cups, in front of them and leaving but not before saying. "If you need anything else, just wave and a waiter would come"
"Okay" Ines said, as she took her cup and began to elegantly drink it, ignoring how must of the shop was staring at her.
She was used to it and so was Theo, who rolled up his sleeve showing an expensive watch that most of Japan, couldn't afford, to check the time.
"Is the tea, good?" He said, leaning over to Ines, the occupants were surprised to hear a completely different language come out of his mouth.
So he isn't Japanese, despite looking Japanese? They all thought, honestly surprised.
"It's not great." Ines replied, in the same language.
"Um, excuse me." Suddenly a voice cut through the air.
They both turned around to find a man with a goatee, slick back, black spiky hair, wearing black sunglass and gold hopped earing's.
This person was none other than Ushio Kurosaki, the director of Kyoko Mogami, first TV commercial but Theo as Yashiro, never met the man, so he didn't know who he was looking at.
"I didn't mean to disturb you, but will you both be interested in modeling?" The man said, once again dressed as if he was homeless.
"Modeling?" Theo said, not surprised at the offer, since this always happened, when they ventured out of the demon realm.
But even though he was acting like this, all of his big discussion was still decided by Ines and gave her a quick glance.
Director Kurosaki, couldn't help but notice the glance, the silver haired man sent to the orange haired women.
So she is the big decision maker of the pair? He thought.
"Modeling..." Ines said, before saying with a smile.
"That sound's like fun"
And scene!
Next chapter, Ines and Theo take picture's, and certain people end up seeing them, suddenly aware of a Yashiro look a like apparently in town, including his own family. Meanwhile another family member, enter's Japan. Review/fav and follow!
