~ Brief epilogue of Chapter 6 ~
Another few days passed, and Sakura kept Tasuki and I a secret without failure. Her parents and sibling aren't at all suspicious of her, and she says that in a few hours would be Monday – a school day. Yesterday, Sunday, we managed to get out of the house again to get Tasuki a few new clothes – this time without delay. Also, Sakura picked up the accessory and sneakers she meant to get me last Saturday. I now own those clothes I've had in my kasa since the incident, along with a nice pair of black-rimmed sunglasses and Nike sneakers.
Tasuki also has the same pair of sunglasses as I have, a black leather jacket, and a muscle t-shirt that looks about three sizes too small. He also got a pair of not-too-baggy jeans with a chain belt, a few bracelets and a choker-chain necklace. He still wore his regular earrings.
Sakura says that we'll fit in somewhat with everyone in her school, but we'll still attract attention. Presently, I don't care at all, this is all a new experience, and Sakura said that as long as we stick with her, we'd be okay. She told us the school is huge, and it's easy for newcomers (especially those who are from a storybook) to get lost. Tasuki obviously wouldn't be too self-conscious, he seemed to love his new outfit right away – going by his posing and grinning at his non-existent reflection in the mirror in Sakura's room. But that's Tasuki.
Sakura's now getting into bed, telling us we should get some sleep as well. Her clock read 10:30 PM, and she grabbed two extra pillows and blankets from the top of her closet for us. She said that she didn't mind where we slept, just as long as we got our sleep. If we wanted to sleep at the end of her bed, we'd have to be in our SD forms, for one reason or another. She fell asleep within seconds, as did we, curled at the foot of her bed and on the floor, anticipating the next few hours – of being freshmen for a day.
