Mom Vs Family

Author's Note: I was rereading the Beauty Pop series when I came upon the chapter where Iori complained to Emily that Narumi was bothering Kiri. So then Emily flew in and went all crazy on Narumi XD so I sort of wondered… what would it be like when Kiri's mom found out she were dating Narumi? :S Then, after I started the story, I wondered what EVERYONE'S reaction would be! Anyways… here's what I think :D Btw this is after Narumi accidentally confesses to Kiri in tenth volume :3

Narumi and Kiri where chatting lightly about all things in general, Narumi on the chair beside her, and she on the hospital bed. Narumi furrowed his brow; " I don't see how it's necessary to keep you here for three days after just collapsing from a fever."

Kiri shrugged, " I know, because people faint from their fevers everyday from excessive working."

Narumi let the thought roll around in his mind, " Was that supposed to be sarcastic?"

Kiri sighed and shook her head, " Um, yeah."

Narumi narrowed his eyes at her, " I don't think I'll ever understand you."

Kiri looked up and smiled. It was a small smile, but large enough for Narumi to notice, " Well you'll have to, won't you?"

Narumi was blushing when Kiri's dad walked in.

Kiri's dad paused for a moment, as if he were about to say something to Narumi but Narumi simply stood, nodded to Seiji, and walked out the door.

Seiji took Narumi's seat and narrowed his eyes at Kiri, " So what's up with that kid? How come he's been coming over everyday?"

Kiri shrugged as she reached for a hairstyling magazine on the nightstand, " Um because… he's…" Kiri let her sentence trail off, unable to think of a suitable excuse, and then buried her face in the magazine, pretending to be engrossed in a particular article.

Seiji lowered the magazine and looked into his daughter's eyes with a cold, penetrating glare, attempting to read her mind. She returned the glare. " Damn. You're so hard to read, you know that?" Her father said, leaning back in his chair.

Kiri shrugged and placed the magazine back onto the nightstand, " That's just how I am I guess."

Seiji leaned forward once more and propped his head up onto his elbows, " So seriously, why was he blushing when I came in?"

Kiri looked out the window. It was a sunny Sunday morning. It was hot enough to make you uncomfortable in a t-shirt and capris, but a light breeze kept you from getting too hot.

Seiji took this moment to prattle on about theories, " Did he do this to you? He probably did! That or maybe you borrowed one of his scissors again? You know you have my gold ones your uncle gave you… MAYBE YOU TWO ARE IN LOVE?! Naw a girl like you can't possibly like a guy… You're too withdrawn. Maybe… yeah I've run out of ideas…"

"Yes, no, and… yeah…" she muttered, turning a deep shade of crimson as she muttered 'yeah'.

" What?" her father said, dumbstruck.

" They're my answer to your theories."

Thinking back over what he said, he tried to recall the particular order he had said things. " OH MY GOSH HE DID THIS TO YOU?!" her father shrieked. Then, after registering the rest of the information in his mind, Seiji froze.

Kiri looked down at her hands and twiddled her thumbs. She heard nothing from her father. Looking up, her dad's face was inches from hers, with an ebil grin on his face." (A/N: yes ebil… not evil… EBIL!! XD)

Kiri glared at her dad, " Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seiji's grin grew even wider, " I may be old, but I can remember what I said a few moments ago."

" Crap…" Kiri muttered under her breath, obviously hoping that her father had forgotten.

"You know I'm telling mom."

" Grandma?"

Seiji sighed and shook his head, " YOUR mom! She'll be so happy to hear you've finally found someone!"

Kiri gulped, " Yeah… especially Narumi…" she muttered, remembering that one incident last year when Iori first came to the school.

Seiji froze. " Did you say, Narumi?"

Kiri shook her head quickly, realizing her mistake, " No…"

" Gah!" her dad stood up so quickly that the chair went flying back, " You mean THE Narumi? Son of the guy who owns Salon de Narumi?! THAT Narumi!?"

Kiri coughed feebly, " No?"

Seiji shook his head, " Never saw this coming…" he muttered under his breath among other thoughts, and subconsciously walked out the door.

Kiri sighed and plopped down into the hospital bed. " That went better than expected." She murmured.

The next day Narumi, Ochiai, and Kei were, once again, the main attraction as they walked up the path to the school. Ochiai was currently explaining some stocks and polls to Narumi, while Kei munched busily on a pocky (A/N: ). Narumi stretched his arms up high and yawned as Ochiai flipped the page.

Narumi scanned the crowd and saw Aoyama and Taro (A/N: I forgot his full name… I only remember Kiri calling him Taro-tard .'). The two were busily chatting under a large cherry blossom tree when another person came around the huge tree trunk and sat with them. Her unmistakable short, yet neat hair that was perfect in every way. " Kiri…" he whispered.

Ochiai looked up from the sheets he was currently overlooking, " What did you say Narumi?"

Narumi shook his head, " Nothing."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After school the SP club had assembled in the meeting room with, as usual, Kiri coming in last. " OH MY KIRITY!" Iori exclaimed before giving her a huge glomp (A/N: lol ). Kei grinned, " Yay! Kiri-chi is back!"

Ochiai smiled as he looked up from his laptop, " Welcome back. Sorry we didn't get a chance to visit you in the hospital."

Kiri shrugged, " I had company."

Narumi could feel his face burn as it grew a deep, crimson red. Luckily for him, no one noticed.

Ochiai tapped away at his laptop for a few more minutes, then stood back to let everyone see the webpage, " We've been gathering more admirers everyday, see?" he pointed to the hit counter in the top right corner of the screen, " Last week this was at 1,029,002."

Kei crunched loudly on his chips, " You're such a nerd Ochi-chi. I can't remember what I ate before this!"

Ochiai let the comment slide, " This week, it's at an astounding 2,909, 873 hits. Our group is really gaining popularity quickly. We need to keep up with this growing number of fans with more publicity."

Narumi nodded, " What do you suggest we do?"

Ochiai coughed, " Well I'm not sure. But if any of you see anything then don't hesitate to tell the group. Okay?"

Kei, Iori, Seki, and Narumi nodded, while Kiri, as usual, slept in the back.

Ochiai closed his laptop, " Anyways, down to other aspects of our business." He announced, and began to ramble on about models, promotional ideas, etc. etc.

After Ochiai's ramble, Narumi went over to the window where an uncut wig stood on the desk. He picked up his scissors and held them steadily in his hand, deciding which cut to perform. Simply for some sort of inspiration, Narumi looked around the room. His eyes landed on Kiri. Her hair was so neat, so low-maintenance… he was about to snip of the first piece of hair when he thought of a better haircut to try. " Wizard's cut." he muttered under his breath.

So he began by trying to remember Billy and Kiri's performance, but got caught in how Kiri's quick, but accurate, movements seem to be… impossible. By the time he got his head out of the clouds, everyone but him, Ochiai, and Kiri, who was still sleeping, had left.

Turning back to the wig he began. He struggled greatly. The hair just didn't seem to want to co-operate. Right when he was about to give up and fix the wig up with another haircut, he saw a golden flash from the corner of his eyes as Kiri extracted her legendary scissors from her pocket. " You're doing it wrong." She muttered.

Narumi stepped back to allow Kiri room to cut. Kiri began at once, her movement too fast for Narumi to keep up. " Got it?" Kiri said, revealing a perfectly cut quarter of the wig. Narumi shook his head, " Umm, too fast…"

Kiri sighed and cut again, slowly this time. " See? The flick of the wrist has to be just right."

Narumi tried again and again to copy the Wizard's cut, but failed miserably each time. Defeated, he sighed and collapsed into a chair nearby. " How do you do it?"

Kiri finished off the rest of the wig and set Narumi's scissors down, " Do what?"

Narumi sat up in his chair, seemingly annoyed, " How do you learn hairstyles so quickly? I remember the Tornado cut your dad showed us. Days later you were doing it perfectly!"

Kiri shrugged, " I dunno. Years of watching my dad I guess."

As much as Ochiai wanted to stay and keep an eye on Kiri and Narumi, it was getting late and it was his turn to buy lunch at home. " I hope nothing happens." He muttered under his breath. He closed his laptop silently and placed it under his arm. Looking back at Kiri and Narumi from the doorway, Ochiai said a little prayer. It was uncharacteristically like him, but he could only hope… little did he know, that his hope was in vain.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The next morning Narumi woke up, irritated and tired. He hadn't been able to sleep a wink last night. As he opened his bedroom door, he was attacked by his dog, Mickey, who managed to tear a HUGE hole in his favourite plaid shirt. After changing, he headed downstairs to find that they had run out of cereal. Rummaging through the cupboards in search of some other food suitable for breakfast, he happened to see the clock, which blinked " 8:00". "CRAP!" he exclaimed. Hurrying off to school with no breakfast and a horrible attitude.

Ochiai and Kei were sitting by the school's entrance when Narumi came running, out of breath. " What happened to Na-kun?" Kei squeaked, munching on a pack of potato chips.

" DON'T ASK!" Narumi shouted, storming off towards the school.

As usual the girls flocked and crowded around the already irritated Narumi. " GAH! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" he screamed. This only brought on even more smothering and squeals. " LEAVE ME ALONE I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!" as soon as he shouted those very words, he automatically clamped his hands over his mouth, his eyes wide open like a deer caught in headlights.

The crowd gasped. (A/N:GASP!)

Narumi rushed inside the building, leaving the murmuring crowd to begin several rumors…

And those rumors spread quickly. By the end of the day it was rumored that Narumi's girlfriend was a hot model from America whom he met at a party in Paris.

After school Narumi was the first to escape to the SP room. Not only was Narumi being harassed for answers, but the other SP members as well. Soon after Kei and Ochiai stumbled into the room, just managing to shut the door behind them, the only protection against the huge mob.

Ochiai look flustered. " Narumi, just WHAT were you thinking when you blurted that out this morning?" he exclaimed.

Narumi sighed and shrugged, " I don't know, I wasn't thinking…"

" Or maybe he was thinking of his supermodel girlfriend." Came a teasing voice from behind. They all turned to see Kiri and Aoyama jump through the window. " Impossible to get in through the door." Kiri explained.

" I WAS NOT THNKING OF A SUPERMODEL!!" Narumi shouted, also flustered.

" Oh, so you said supermodel, but you didn't deny you were thinking of your girlfriend?" she teased.

" I… well… no… just… I… no… you see… I… but…" Narumi sighed in defeat and blushed furiously, knowing full well that Kiri must know what he was thinking of right now.

Ochiai shook his head, " Don't mean to be rude, but just tell them! They'll tear us apart for the answer!"

Narumi couldn't even raise his head to reply, just blushed furiously.

Kiri yawned loudly from her corner, " It's obvious today won't be a productive meeting, I'm going home." She leapt out the window, Aoyama following after.

Kei poked Narumi, " Okay, its just us three. TELL US!" he gushed, eager to know.

" Yeah, I'm curious to know too." Ochiai backed Kei.

Narumi coughed and muttered something under his breath.

"What?"

" I… my girlfriend is… is…"

"TELL US ALREADY!" Ochiai roared.

" Okay! IT'S KIRI!! SATISFIED?!"

Silence ensued.

"G…guys… guys?" Narumi asked sheepishly.

"KYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAA!!MY KIRITY! I KNEW NARUSIE WOULD TAKE HER AWAY! MY KIRITY! KKKKKKKYYYYYYAAAAAA!!"

Narumi spun around to see a shocked Iori leaning against the open window.

"I MUST TELL EMILY!! EMMMMMMMMMIIIIILLLLLYYYYY!!"

" Fuck."

Ochiai's ominous aura was enough to tell everyone in the room how Ochiai was feeling at the moment. He slammed the door open. The crowd was still there, gushing out questions and squeals. But one look at Ochiai and they scattered.

" Double fuck."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Over the next few weeks, the rumors and mobs began to subside, until that one day…

Narumi, Ochiai, and Kei were walking along the path to school when Narumi's collar was suddenly yanked back.

" EVIL NARUSIE! I KNEW IT! IORI TOLD ME ALL THE TRICKS YOU WERE PLAYING ON MY DAUGHTER!"

Narumi turned around to find himself face to face with none other than Emily, Kiri's mom. " I… what?"

By now a large crowd had formed around Narumi and Kiri's mom.

"IORI TOLD ME YOU AND MY KIRI ARE DATING!"

The crowd gasped. "IS THIS TRUE?!" Emily exclaimed.

" What?! It's…" he saw a small shimmer at the edge of the crowd, walking past. The shimmer of someone's impossible straight hair… Just that small glimpse made his heart summersault.

Narumi took a deep breath and shouted, "THAT'S RIGHT! I LOVE KIRI AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHO HEARS!"
