Chapter 6: The Fun Experience of Shopping...

Your POV

The first things I noticed is that I was laying down, and my head was no longer on Kurapika's shoulder. Then I realized, that I wasn't outside, and I felt something over me. I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in Kurapika's room again, and I was on the bed, under the covers, and it was early morning. Kurapika was sleeping in his chair again.

I wonder if he's going to sleep in that chair from now on...

Isn't that uncomfortable!?

Kurapika opened his eyes.

"Oh, you're up now." he stated.

"Yeah. I just woke up. Question, why do you keep on sleeping in that chair!?"

"Because you don't have a room of your own yet."

"Okay..... And why can't I sleep in the chair and you in the bed? I mean, this is your bed!" I implied further.

"Because, as a gentleman, I make sacrifices for the woman. I consider taking advantage of women a sin, and I consider making the woman sleep in the chair and the man sleep on the bed, taking advantage of the woman." he explained calmly.

"Hmph! Fine, be that way..."

At that moment, Aunt Mito burst in the room.

"Kanae!!!!! We have to go shopping today!!!!!!" she exclaimed.

I slapped my forehead.

"How could I forget?? I have to go shopping to get some clothes..." I groaned.

"Well, hurry up and put on these clothes! We need to leave as soon as possible!!!"

"Alright, alright! I'll try to hurry!" I yelled.

She left the room. Kurapika laughed. It wasn't a booming laugh, it was a playful laugh, light and... well.... playful! I glared at him. He put his hands up defensively.

"What? Shopping not your forte??" he teased.

I glared harder.

"No, definitely not!" I growled. "I do NOT like to shop, that much."

Kurapika chuckled.

"Alright, can you please leave the room so I can put on these clothes? Or were you planning to stay here and watch me change like some pervert, Arashi??" I asked sarcastically.

Kurapika blushed and cleared his throat. Then immediately left the room.

I smiled and chuckled to myself. It was so fun to tease him! I looked down at the clothes and frowned.

Today is going to be a long day...

I sighed and started to pull the clothes on.

30 minutes later...

Alright, I looked in the mirror, making some final touches. Half of my long hair was up in a knot. The other half was just hanging down. I had on some blue, denim shorts, a yellow spaghetti strap shirt, and the white sneakers. Yellow, so not my color!

I sighed and bounded down the stairs. I barley had time to take a few pieces of toast before I was dragged out the door by Aunt Mito. I waved back at the boys who were surprised and laughing as they waved back.

Thanks to Aunt Mito's super speed, we got to town in very little time! Aunt Mito was all smiles and really giddy! She dragged me into the first store, and started to pull things off the rack, pushing them into my arms. Then she pushed me into the dressing room.

After I changed into the first outfit, I went outside the dressing room, where Aunt Mito was waiting for me. I chose this outfit myself. It was a dark red halter top with black dragons embroidered on it, paired with blue flare jeans and black sandals. Aunt Mito turned me around and nodded her head slowly.

"The style and the colors suit you. The colors bring out your eyes and your cheekbones, which are really high, by the way, and the style compliments your figure." She smiled, "We'll definitely get this one, it seems like flare jeans and dark colors, but not too dark, suit you very well!."

I smiled and headed back into the dressing room, I immediately discarded the ones that had really bright colors. Anything that was a skirt, or a dress, was also discarded. After a while, I was actually enjoying myself! If you were buying and trying things that you liked, well, it was fun!

After we were done with trying on the clothes, I looked at the cart. My eyes widened. There wasn't just one cart, there were four!. All of them were filled to the brim with clothes!

"We are going to buy, ALL of these clothes!?!?!?" I asked, looking at Aunt Mito.

She smiled, "Yup! All of them!"

I sighed, then shook my head and smiled. Alright, if she wanted to buy all of them, my closet when I got my room was going to be FULL!!!!!!!!

I wonder where I am going to put them...

I mean, Kurapika's closet is only half full...

But, this load could fill up two of his closets!

Oh well, I'll figure it out when I get back...

I sighed. Aunt Mito looked at me, then smiled mischievously. I looked at her.

"Why are you smiling like that?" I suspiciously implied.

"Oh, no particular reason." she replied, her smile growing bigger.

I shook my head when I realized that asking her wasn't going to do any good. Shortly after, we started the trek back to the house. Aunt Mito's smile just kept getting bigger, and bigger the closer we got to the house.

Once we opened the door, I could see the boys. All of them had BIG smiles on! Even Kurapika!!!!! Then Kurapika walked over to me with a bandanna. He stepped behind me and tied it around my head, so I couldn't see.

"Put down your shopping bags." Kurapika whispered in my ear.

I put my shopping bags down. Then Kurapika took hold of my shoulders and started to push me forward. I walked forward being guided by Kurapika. I could feel and hear the others behind me. We went up the stairs and down the long hallway finally, we stopped, and I heard a door open. I was pushed in, gently, and the blindfold was taken off. I gasped.

It was a room. Almost exactly like Kurapika's, but with a more punky and independent attitude to it. Instead of bright colors, the colors were dark. The darker version of Kurapika's room. Blood red and midnight blue walls, black carpet, black ceiling, with glowing stars, a four-post bed with a canopy, blood red comforter, black sheets, and navy blue pillows.

There was a dresser, a desk with a lot of drawers and cubbys to put things in, a lot of shelves filled with books, a hugemongous walk-in closet, and an adjoining bathroom. When I went to look in the bathroom, it was the same as the bedroom, although, it wasn't as big, and it had bathroom appliances. All the furniture was made out of oak.

"Ohmygosh!" I said in a rush. "Thank you guys!"

"Yeah, Kurapika helped a lot, especially with the colors. We were doing it while you were shopping." Gon said.

"Yeah, I noticed you liking my room earlier, so, yeah." Kurapika added.

I ran up to each of them and hugged them. I also gave them each a kiss. On the cheek. I don't think the four of them could turn even more red then they did! I smiled and ran back downstairs.

I came back with 10 bags of clothes. Gon and Killua sweat dropped.

"How many clothes did get!?!?!?" they all exclaimed.

"Ummmmm....." I thought, "About enough to fill Kurapika's closet twice or more.

"Oh wow..." Gon breathed.

I started to put the clothes in the closet.

One hour later...

I smiled and stepped back to look at my work. I had just finished organizing my closet. Far right was long sleeve shirts, middle right was the short sleeve shirts, and close right was tank tops, spaghetti straps, halter tops, and the like. Far left was jeans, middle left was capris, and close left was shorts. On the top drawers there were sweaters and jackets. On the bottom drawers there were shoes. Then, in each of those categories, I organized them into the most liked to the outside, and the least liked to the inside.

The boys I realized were still there, as was Aunt Mito. They just stood there and watched me organize my new closet. Then I took all of the decoration stuff that Aunt Mito bought for me while I was occupied with something else, don't know what, but, anyway... I took al of the decoration stuff and decorated my room. On the walls, I put up pictures of the night sky, the mountains and woods at different seasons, lots of scenery pictures.

put paper in some of the desk drawers, and just other stuff in the other drawers. I put pencils in the cubbys, pens, markers, and other materials in the cubbys. On top of the desk I put a little lamp, my CD player, my MP3, and my laptop. On my bedside dresser I put another little lamp, an alarm clock, and a book I had taken interest in when I looked at all the books.

After I was done, it was getting dark, and the boys just stood there. Finally, I whipped around to face them, annoyed.

"would you guys mind telling me why you have just been standing there for the past... oh, say... twelve hours!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" I screamed.

They all jumped. REALLY high too! Like, fifty feet! I put my hands on my hips and glared at them.

"Well?????" I asked, impatient.

Gon was the first to recover. Sort of.

"Well... we... uhhh... I... uhhh... We... just w-wanted t-to s-s-see h-how you w-would d-decorate your r-r-r-room." Gon stammered.

I nodded.

"Alright, then why did you guys just stand there??" I asked, a little calmer.

It was Leiorio who answered.

"Well, you see, we have never organized anything and we thought it interesting to watch."

My eyebrow raised.

"Oh really, then why did you not say anything or do anything?" I implied, suspicious now.

Killua answered.

"Because we thought that if we interupted you, the outcome wouldn't be so good."

I nodded my head, showing them that I didn't buy it.

"Okay, then let's go get dinner." I suggested.

They all nodded and we went downstairs to sit down to a pot roast dinner.

After we were done, we all retired to our rooms. I tried to sleep, but, as hard as I tried, I coudn't. I sighed and looked at the clock. 11:30 pm. That's what the clock display showed. I got up and walked to his door. I knocked. Kurapika answered after about five minutes. He looked very sleepy.

"What is it, Kanae." he asked, his voice groggy.

I immediatly wished I had stayed in my room.

"I can't sleep, so I was wondering if I could sleep in here?" I asked.

He looked up towards the ceiling, looking deep in thought.

"Puhhhh-leeeeaaassseeee, Arashi????????" I begged.

He smiled at me and nodded.

"Sure. Of course you can." he walked back to bed and laid down, he patted beside him. I looked at him confused.

"It's cold tonight, if you aren't under some covers, you'll freeze to death. Man, I sure wouldn't want to be placed with the crime of murder..." he muttered.

I smiled and walked over to the bed, I lay down next to him and got under the covers. Kurapika pulled me closer to him. I didn't mind. Not long afterward, I gave into darkness and fell asleep in Kurapika's arms.
