Chapter Nine The Plan

It was bright when I opened my eyes. My arm was stretched lazily across my waist and I felt very stiff.

Yawning sleepily, I sat up and swung my legs over the side of my bed, nosily getting up and stumbling to the bathroom.

I turned the hot water on and began shedding my clothes, letting them fall to the tiled floor without a second glance.

As I got into the shower, I glanced in the mirror to see my golden bangs were fading. The color I had previously dyed them was coming out.

I sighed and made a mental note to buy some new hair dye when I was in town.

I stepped into the shower and began washing my hair, spreading the shampoo over my black and gold locks.

After I was done, I got out and slipped into a pair of jeans and a cute green and gray tank top. Rifling through my drawers, I pulled out a black jacket and slipped on a pair of black pumps before walking to the main room.

"Where exactly do you think you're going?" Commander Rester demanded as I walked into the room.

I glanced at him lazily and smirked, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it, "I'm gonna take a walk around town," I pulled the cigarette out and blew a puff of smoke in his face, making him suppress a fit of coughing, "You got a problem with that, Rester?"

He opened his mouth to retort, but was interrupted by Near.

"Luck," he cut in, making Commander Rester scowl, "as long as you're going to town...I need you to pick up a few things for the next...mission you'll be going on."

My eyes lit up, "The next mission? What will that be?"

Near spun around in his chair and looked at me, "You'll find out once you've gotten everything."

He held up a small piece of paper. I eagerly walked forward and took it, my eyes skimming over the neat little words written by Near.

At the bottom, my eyebrow perked, "Hair dye? What do you need that for?"

Near turned back to face the small toys he was playing with, "It's not me who needs it: it's you. You'll be going under cover. That's all I'm saying right now."

I frowned, "But I don't want to dye my hair-"

"Luck," he cut in, glancing over his shoulder at me, "Pick a color that looks natural on you."

I narrowed my eyes at his back, not liking how he disregarded my words as if they weren't important. I turned on my heel and threw Commander Rester a dirty look. He scowled at me and I walked out of the room, not bothering to look for my motorcycle as I hurried out of the building.

*Page Break*

I walked down the isle of a supermarket, eyes peeled for the hair products I needed. In my hands were most of the items on the list: as I walked, I balanced them in my arms.

My eyes lit up when I came to the shelf where the hair products were kept.

I went through every color, but finally ended up with my natural black. I'd just dye the gold from my hair and put it in again after the mission, I decided.

But...before I went to check up, I grabbed the gold color and added it to the tall pile in my arms.

This ones short too =\ Sorry bout that...but the next one will be longer so hopefully it'll make up for it...

Luck became a criminal because (insert evil laugh) ...well, I haven't really gotten that far yet ^-^' But it shall all be revealed...soon? haha
