"Ok Kenshin. Would you like a ride back to my house? I don't have cheerleading practice today so you can catch a ride with me. Would that be okay with your family?"asked Kaoru while walking with Kenshin out of Kobayashi's Highschool and not even caring if people were staring at them.
"Its ok. I bet my uncle won't mind,"replied Kenshin with a sad face.
"Ok. My car is this way,"said Kaoru while leading Kenshin to her Silver Lexus. "You can get in."
"ok,"said Kenshin while stepping into the Lexus.
The ride home to Kaoru's house was silent as though none of them wanted to speak to each other. Kaoru kept her eyes on the road and Kenshin's eyes were out the window.
"Here we are!"said Kaoru while pulling into the driveway.
Kenshin didn't reply. He was staring at the big house in front of him.
"Something wrong?"asked Kaoru.
"Oh nothing!"replied Kenshin.
Inside the Kamiya's house
"I know my house isn't much but we'll have all the things we need and stuff,"said Kaoru.
'Not big?! It reminds me of those rich celebrities' mansions on MTV's cribs except only half the size! This girl must not be very appreciative of what she has.'
"You can put your things over here."said Kaoru pointing at a glass table.
"Ok,"replied Kenshin while laying his things gently on the glass table afraid that he would break the table.
"So what would you like to start on?"asked Kaoru.
"Um whatever you want,"replied Kenshin.
"Hmm are you sure you want me to transform you?"asked Kaoru.
"I don't care. Looks don't matter to me. It doesn't matter what I look like,"replied Kenshin.
"Oh ok,"said Kaoru looking very ashamed of herself like Kenshin was giving her a lecture on looks. Well he sort of was. . "Let's hit the mall then!"
At the Tokyo Mall
"Hmm we'll be needing certain things."said Kaoru.
"You get whatever you want Miss Kaoru. I'll be sitting down over there waiting for you to finish."
When Kaoru did finish with her shopping an hour later, there was two big bags in her hand. Its contents? Hmm designer clothes, gel, tennis shoes, a 3 step thing for zits and oily skin, 5 pairs of socks, and chap stick. Now. .who might that be for? Well I for one have no idea. Ah hahaha!! Just kidding.
"Um sorry to keep you waiting like that Kenshin!"said Kaoru.
"Oh its no problem. Do you need a hand with those bags?"
"Oh no! We are going to this place, its called Hair 2003! Its new and I heard they do good haircuts but before we do, I really have to ask our permission on this. Are you ok with um a haircut? Because its ok if your not I mean some people are comfortable with long hair and I don't want to ruin that for you if you were and . ."
"Its ok. I need one anyway. Its getting really hot with my hair down and my bangs get in the way a lot."replied Kenshin. If he didn't speak up then I'm afraid Kaoru would have kept going on and on babble babble. (Sweat drop)
"Ok let's get going then!"said Kaoru cheerfully.
Hair 2003
"Hello Miss! Welcome to Hair 2003!"greeted a the lady who probably owned the place.
"Hello Ma'am! My friend needs a haircut!"said Kaoru.
"Oh dear! Indeed he does!"shrieked the lady. I don't think she has any manners. .Hey its just me thinking!
"Well what are you waiting for! Give him a haircut! Don't just stand there and stare or I'll take my friend to Monique's! (That's a french hair cut place. Hey! There might be some french people in Japan! I doubt so but who cares. This comes from my mind muh hahaha) Maybe they would give him some respect!"
"Oh I am so sorry! We'll get on it right away. In fact, I'll give him a haircut myself!"replied the lady deeply worried.
"Ok that's better,"said Kaoru who looked throughly satisfied.
"This way sir,"said the lady pointing to a seat.
Half an hour later
"Whoa-la! My master piece!"said the lady as though she hadn't got any sleep in days but also very proudly.
"Wow Kenshin! You look good!"said Kaoru who was blind-folded for the last half hour now looking at a new Kenshin who's hair now reached to the tip of his ears and bangs renewed and his hair looked very soft and shiny like silk. 'Yes good! Very good! Now all we gotta do is get rid of the clothes and the zits. You'll be perfect!' thought Kaoru.
"Thank you Miss Kaoru,"replied Kenshin blushing. "And thank you Ma'am!"
"Oh it's not a problem! That would be fifty yen please."
"Here you go."said Kaoru handing the lady the money.
On the ride home to Kaoru's house
"Miss Kaoru?"said Kenshin finally speaking up.
"Yes?"replied Kaoru looking off the road and turning to face Kenshin.
"I hope this isn't costing you anything. I surely wouldn't want that."
"Oh its no problem! Don't worry about it. I just have a guilty feeling about this. I mean we don't have to do this on you, we could do it on my brother Yahiko! He needs a make-over!"
"(chuckle)Isn't it too late now Miss Kaoru?"
"Well yes it is so I hope you don't mind Kenshin!"
"No I don't mind."
"Ok good!"said Kaoru while pulling into her driveway.
In the house
"Hey Kaoru!"greeted Mr.Kamiya.
"Hey dad!"replied Kaoru.
"Whose your friend?"asked Mr.Kamiya looking at Kenshin.
"His name is Himura, Kenshin Himura! We're doing a project together. Eventually we'll have to write a report but it's all good!"
"Hello Mr. Kamiya,"said Kenshin holding out a hand.
"Hello Kenshin! I believe your name means heart of sword?"replied Mr. Kamiya while shaking Kenshin's hands.
"Yes it does,"replied Kenshin quietly.
"Well we gotta get going now dad! Is mom or Yahiko home?"said Kaoru.
"No. Your mom took Yahiko to karate practice."replied Mr.Kamiya.
"Ok dad well we'll be heading upstairs."
upstairs, Kaoru's room
"Here's my room! Its been a long day hasn't it hehe,"said Kaoru while sinking into her furry chair.
"Yes indeed it has been Miss Kaoru."replied Kenshin while taking a seat on the floor.
"Oh you don't have to sit on the ground! Here take a seat right here!"said Kaoru as soon as she saw Kenshin on the floor.
"Well ok,"said Kenshin while sinking into the chair in front of Kaoru. Another furry chair. (Its like a bean bag chair except softer and furry.)
"Hey Kenshin, Do you mind skipping school for 2 weeks?"asked Kaoru suddenly.
"What? What for?"asked Kenshin looking stunned.
"Well because we gotta give it some time for you to change."replied Kaoru blushing.
"I'll ask my uncle Hiko."said Kenshin.
"Ok here's the phone!"said Kaoru handing Kenshin a baby blue colored phone.
"Ok."said Kenshin then dialed the numbers 784-2694. It took 3 rings for Hiko, Kenshin's uncle to pick up and when he did, the conversation went like this. Hiko: lo? Kenshin: Uncle Hiko? Hiko: Oh its you. What do you want? Kenshin: I was wondering if I could skip school for 2 weeks. My friend can bring the homework and tell me what's going on and stuff. Hiko: No you idiot! I can't afford to see your face more then I already have! Kenshin: Ok, bye Uncle Hiko. Hiko: (grunt) beep beep
"Oh so you can't,"said Kaoru.
"I'm sorry,"said Kenshin.
"Its ok. Hey I got it! You can wear a mask while your face starts to heal from you know and then when it does, we can start putting you into these clothes I bought for you! But then we gotta buy a wig because of your new hair and everything so how about . .yes that's it! Do you mind wearing a wig and a mask?"said Kaoru in a hurry.
"Oh its fine,"said Kenshin smiling. 'Great. A wig and a mask. Oh well who cares.'
"Perfect!!"squealed Kaoru then started digging out some things. 'He's nice. He doesn't care what people think. The total opposite of Sano and the others.'
