"Good afternoon, bitches!" a tall, slim youkai screamed into the shop. He was dressed in a black muscle shirt, designer jeans, and flat, pointed shoes. His silky black hair was in a ponytail, he had two purple markings under each eye going down his cheeks, and wore pink lip gloss.

"Hi Jackie!" all of the girls chirped in unison, making him smile like a giddy child.

"Guurrlls, let me tell you about my date last night. Y'all know Muso, right?" taking a seat at his booth near the door.

"Yeah." again in unison.

"Well, he took me to that new club Tick Tock and guess what happened?"

"What?" Inari screamed, annoyed that he was not getting to the point.

"Some heifer tried to push up on him!" crossing his legs in the leather chair.

"You playin'?"

"No girl, so I slapped him and sent his ass runnin!" snapping his fingers from side to side, making all of the women in the salon burst into laughter.

"I would do the same thing if it were Mike." Inari responded briefly.

"Sis, I think Mike would be too scared to look at anyone else." Akiya chimed in.

"Damn straight, I'll gut him like a fish!" flexing her manicured claws, making everyone laugh again.

"Damn, I'd hate to be your man." Jakotsu said, setting up his tools.

"Bitch, I don't consider you a man. I've seen you walk in heels."

"I'm the one who taught you."

"A skill I cherish to this day." making a curtsy.

"Hey Jackie, you ready?" a petite woman with dark shoulder length hair walked in, dressed in a navy blue pinstriped business suit.

"Rei, how you been?" gesturing for her to sit in the seat he just left from.

"Fine. I have a date tonight, so I wanna look good." taking a seat.

"Well, you came to the right person." putting the smock around her neck.

"I want it curled, big and full." emphasizing the style with her hands.

"I have an idea, I dye it dark brown with chocolate highlights!" smiling at himself in the mirror.

"Do you think so?" turning around in the chair, giving him a questioning look.

"Yes! It will make your green eyes pop!"

Rei spun around, silently asking everyone their opinion.

"Trust him, he's doing Chi-Chi's hair and makeup for prom." Inari said, assuring Rei how good he was, while smiling at Jakotsu.

"But she's only nine?"

"He's that good. You need a reservation."

"You flatter me Ari, but it's the truth." he said smirking at his reflection.

"Alright, Jakie I trust you. Work me baby!"

"I've never heard a woman say that to me before. " sending the whole shop into fits of laughter while he applied the hair dye.


"Dad, do you really need your hair done?" Rin asked her "father", playing with Barbie dolls on the living room floor.

"What do you mean, Rin?"

"Your hair looks fine. Are you doing this because of Ms. Akiya?"

'She's too smart for her own good.' "I think our hair needs to be washed." ruffling up her hair.

"Dad, do you like her?"

'Cant stop thinking about her.' "She's a nice person."

"I like her too, better then all of the other ladies you used to date, especially Kagura!" making her dolls fight each other.

'Maybe I should settle down; Rin's growing up fast but she still needs a mother figure. Izayoi and Kagome help out, but she needs a mother .'

'You need a wife.'

'I don't wanna go through that again.'

'You won't, I see something special in Akiya.'

'I do too, but..."

'You admit it? Follow your heart, she's something special.'

'...'

"Dad, why are you staring out in space?" the child asked, putting away her toys.

"Hmm? Oh. Rin, let's get ready to go." leaving the room to grab his briefcase, since he had to go to the office to finish his paper work after the appointment.


"What time is it?" Akiya asked Yura, who was playing cat's cradle with her razor sharp hair.

"Uh, it's 2:00, pretty slow today."

"Yeah, I'm in my office if you need me." turning around the corner toward the office, which is directly across her sister's. Since Sundays are usually slow, she decided to finish up some paper work. There wasn't much to do, it only took forty-five minutes. So she joined the 9-6 party (9-7 mon-sat). In the meantime, Inari and Jakie were arguing over who's butt looks better.

"Mine is better Jackie, it's a perfect 360!" spinning around slapping her ass.

"No yours is just fat, look at how toned mine is." strutting around the shop.

"Yura, Kiya, whose butt is better!" the two "asses" screamed in unison.

"Jackie, don't bother." Yura sighed still playing cat's cradle.

"Ari, you know you have Nana's butt." said Akiya.

"Yeah but so do you, Chi-Chi and Mike jr. gave me these hips. You know you look a lot like her, especially in your human form."

"No." said Akiya.

"Yes." she shot back. "You've seen the pictures of Nana when she was younger, you could be her demon twin." making her baby sister smile. Anyone who knew Gloria always said Akiya resembled her. To be compared to her grandmother was a honor since she was one of her idols.

"Thanks. Hey, when are we leaving to go back home?"

"In June, about three weeks."

"Can't wait."

"Can't wait for what?" a seductive male voice asked.

"Oh Sesshomaru, what are you doing here?"

"I'm your 3:00 appointment." taking a seat in her booth chair. Much to his surprise no one was asking for an autograph or staring in awe, just a very confused Akiya.

"So you're my three o'clock?" wrapping the smock around his neck, staring daggers at Yura. "Hey Rin, I didn't see you there." looking down at the small child.

"Miss Akiya, I'm hurt." placing her small hand over her heart, holding back laughter.

"I'm sorry Rin-chan, please forgive me." giving one of her famous smiles.

"I should be hurt, my daughter's best friend didn't even say hi." Inari said overacting, making Rin laugh.

"Sorry Miss Inari, but I couldn't wait for my appointment."

"It's alright, Yura is going to be your stylist." pointing to the woman, still playing with her hair.

Rin walked over and took a seat next to her dad, since Yura and Akiya's booths are right next to each other.

"So Ms. Rin, how do you want your hair today?" the hair youkai asked, putting the smock on her client.

"I want a wash and set!"

"Ok, one wash and set." immediately walking over to the booth.

"What about you, Mr. Taishou?" Akiya asked. He loved the way she said Mr. Taishou.

"Same thing."

"Alright, come with me."

It was obvious that Sesshomaru was enjoying himself when she was washing and conditioning his hair. He loved the way her claws felt on his scalp, everyone except Rin heard him purr in enjoyment.

Several minutes later, she finished conditioning.

"All done!" she chirped, leading her costumer back to the booth, then she pulled out the scissors.

"What are you doing?" he growled glaring at her through the mirror.

"Cutting your split ends."calmly stroking his silver hair to calm him down.

"This Sesshomaru has no split ends."

"This Sesshomaru does." she said, mocking him.

"Fine... go ahead." he grumbled as she cut his split ends and stuffed earplugs in his ears, then began to blow dry his hair.

In no time Akiya and Yura were finished, their clients hair looked better than ever. Now it was shinier and more bouncy than before.

"So what do you think?" the hanyou asked nervously looking at him from the mirror.

"Good. How much do I owe you?" looking at her through the mirror.

"4,000 yen total. 1,500 yen for Rin and 2,500 for you." He paid her then even gave Yura a fifty percent tip.

"I would like to take you on a date Friday, consider it your tip." he whispered in her ear, leaning down to her face, standing in front of her.

"Are you asking me or telling me?" smirking at him.

"Don't you want your tip?" pulling her up against his chest in front of the whole shop, surprising everyone, even himself.

"Kikiyo's Place. Pick me up at 7:30." then kissed him on the cheek.

"What was that for?"

"Being a good boy." seductively walking away. Her hips swayed back and forth, leaving the whole shop stunned while Sesshomaru and Rin left.

"What just happened?" Jakotsu asking no one in particular.

"She's back on the prowl." Inari said with a smirk, following her sister into her office.

"Little sister I haven't seen you like this since -"

"Naraku." Akiya said while skimming through the newspaper on her desk.

"Yeah, when you first started dating."

"You know she's still with him."

"That bitch Jennifer." Inari hissed.

"That's the past."

"But she was a bridesmaid at your wedding!" she screamed, making her younger sister laugh. "That's not funny!" she huffed like a child.

"Ari, you don't need to remind me, on to better things."

"Like what?"

"I'm going on a date with Sesshomaru Taishou!" she sang walking back to the front of the shop. The rest of the day was work, play, and gossip.

Drop a line. Review, tell me what you think.
