"Your cooking wont…but this plan will…I guarantee it." Sango smiled, putting in some pepper. Kagome shot her a glare and stirred the contents.
"So what's this plan that's better than my cooking." Kagome set the plates down and looked at her friend. Sango grinned and ran upstairs, coming back with a maid costume.
"A costume party?" Kagome said, confused.
"No stupid, we'll apply for positions as maids!" Sango rolled her eyes, and they said she was dumb…
"One problem…THEY KNOW IT'S US!!" Kagome frowned but Sango continued to smile.
"Up for a makeover?"

After twenty minutes of hearing an old woman talk about her grandchildren, the girls finally got out of the crowded taxi.
"That was horrible…that guy next to me, the one with the dog? He smelled terrible…and his stupid dog drooled all over me!!" Kagome wiped off her arms and groaned.
"That's why you're a cat person…" Sango giggled, holding the door open for her friend. The place they had arrived at was Sango's old roommates. It looked harmless, with it's natural salon look…but then again, Sango didn't learn how to kill from just anybody. Clairé was the best beautician and one of the best assassins of the time. But running a French beauty salon was her cover…plus ever since college her strawberry blonde hair was beautiful. Le Salon Sans Glace, or Sans Glace for short, was the place where people looking for a cover would go. The only reason why no one knew that robbers, assassins, runaways, etc. went here was because movie stars also came. Clairé had told Sango that it's the movie stars that keep the business undercover since they don't want fans to see them. The interior of the building was very interesting…when you first walk in there is a small place to hang your coats to the right and a giant neon sign featuring "La Salon Sans Glace" and a picture of both ice cream and a mirror…seeing how glace in French could be translated to either of those. Sango continued to walk forward, while Kagome eyed the nail polish. A young teen who was working at the counter looked up from her magazine and looked at Sango.
"Do you have an appointment?" she asked in a monotone voice. Sango shook her head and looked around for her friend.
"I need to talk to Clairé ." She said to the young girl.
"Sorry…you'll need to wait. These people were first to see Clairé ." The girl motioned a perfectly manicured finger towards a small line. Sango laughed slightly and looked the girl in the eye.
"I don't think you understand…I .need. To see Clairé . Now go and get her." Sango said icily, but the girl looked down at her magazine.
"Go wait like the others." She turned a page, not looking up at Sango. Sango frowned and grabbed Kagome's arm, leading her into a door that said "Restricted".
"Clairé ? Tu est la?" Sango called out in French. A woman walked out from the shadows and smiled.
"Sango! I haven't seen you in forever!" She exclaimed hugging Sango. Sango introduced Kagome and sat down on a couch in the back room.
"I see you learned something other than French." Sango laughed as Clairé smirked.
"yeah, yeah… now onto business. What do you need?" Clairé asked her old friend.
"We have a…case…that needs a makeover…all the way, if you know what I mean." Sango looked at Kagome who nodded, sipping the coffee Clairé had given them.
"I see…well you want to look anything but Sango and Kagome…right?" Clairé tapped her pencil on her leg. Both girls nodded and Clairé started to rapidly write, muttering in French.

Six coffee cups and five magazines later, Clairé was finished writing.
"Okay! I got it! You ladies will be completely disguised. You own family won't recognize you!" Clairé grinned, leading the girls out of the room. The young teen at the counter looked up when Sango passed by, sending her a nasty glare. Kagome walked up to her and smiled sweetly.
"Thank you so much for your help!" Kagome smiled, before walking away to catch up with Sango and Clairé .
"Nice hired help…" Sango said dryly to Clairé who nodded in response.
"Yes…Katie is a little…rude." she agreed, showing the girls to chairs.
"Ready?" Sango asked her friend, smiling.
"Yep…goodbye to the old Kagome."
"Say hello to the new." Sango finished as Clairé began her work.

Karen: Sorry folks, but Sparticus isn't here today :P But my website is having a writing contest! Go to www.burningtheshadows.autumn-storm.net (goodies, contest) to find out more! I'd love it if you all participated!! And Clairé was taken from my one friend in school, MoonAngel07. Her French name is Clairé and I just wanted to add her…she DOES have strawberry blonde hair…but she isn't an assassin…or an owner of a salon…lol
