They Were Just So Cute As Children...

Chapter 5
Heh, heh, heh. Sorry, but you won't be hearing about Yuki and Kyo until the end of the chapter. I have a very mean cliffhanger I came up with, thereby forcing ShadowWarrior to go through the desperate search for inspiration on how to get people out of a nasty situation just like I had to. In any case, I will be writing about what Ayame and Shigure did that day...
The first hour social studies teacher at the local middle school was a young Egyptian woman. Because of her heavy accent, Ayame, new to the class as of that day, was having trouble understanding her as she introduced him. When the class turned toward him and said in unison, "Hello Ayame." He took a deep bow before gliding over to the seat the teacher was pointing at.
After the teacher's lecture, during work time, everyone crowded around Ayame's desk, asking him questions. The most popular question seemed to be, "Wow, isn't your hair, well, a little too long?"
Ayame's eyes flashed. "I must keep my hair long!" he said passionately. "I am part of the Argentinean Bali Bali Cult, sworn to protect the Grand Assistant Vizier of Argentina. We must always keep our hair long as a sign of respect for the Grand Assistant Vizier."
Everyone stared at him in awe and, amazingly enough, no one laughed when he tripped over his hair on the way out of the classroom when the bell rang.
------
Author's Note: For unknown reasons when Ayame returned to age twelve his hair remained the length it had been before his age change. Thus, about ¾ of a foot of hair drags on the ground behind him.
------
Ayame, Hatori, and Shigure were eating lunch together when Hatori's cell phone rang. He dashed off to the boy's bathroom to talk so that the teacher on lunch duty would not see the phone and confiscate it. He came back about ten minutes later looking grim and shaking his head.
"What's wrong Hari?" Ayame asked when Hatori sat down.
"That was Kagura. Apparently, Yuki and Kyo had a little accident on the playground and now six fourth grade girls are wondering how the boys they were playing tag with disappeared seemingly into thin air. Kagura wants me to feign sick so I can go home and on my way stop by the elementary and erase their memories."
"Are you going to?" asked Shigure.
Hatori sighed heavily, "I don't believe I have much choice."
Ayame and Shigure watched as he walked over to the teacher on lunch duty, talked to her for a minute, and then ran off in the general direction of the office.
"Sooo...how has your day been Ayame?" Shigure asked innocently. (Shigure has spent most of his day laughing at Ayame behind is back every time he trips over his hair)
"Well, I must tell you Shigure...my day has been absolutely DREADFUL! My hair is so long I keep tripping over it and it hurts a lot!"
"You should let me cut it for you."
"WHAT?!"
"Just a little trim off the bottom, it would look good, I wouldn't cut of too much, I promise."
"Well..."
"Come on!"
"If you really think you won't cut off too much..."
"I won't."
"Okay then!" Ayame walked off happily, unfortunately missing the evil grin plastered on Shigure's face...
When they got home, Shigure was quick to remind Ayame he had agreed to let him cut his hair. He sat him down, blindfolded him, and tied him up.
It was at this time Ayame realized something was wrong and started to struggle violently.
"Shigure! Let me up! What are you going to do?! Somebody help meeee!"
Unfortunately for Ayame and his hair he Shigure and Hatori were the first people to get home, as Tohru had to work, and Hatori was still not back.
Ayame was practically in tears as Shigure, humming happily, placed a bowl on his head, and pulled out a pair of scissors.
Ayame screamed and began struggling harder when he felt the cold metal of the scissors touch the side of his ear. Shigure pointedly ignored him and proceed to calmly cut Ayame's hair, using the edge of the bowl as a guideline. Sometime during this process, Ayame passed out. When he was finished Shigure left the house to a. not be around when everyone got back and discovered the horrible abuse he had put Ayame through, and b. to try and pick up a few high school girls.

Quite a few hours before...
Luckily, Kagura and Momiji had been playing nearby and rushed over as soon as they heard/saw Kyo transform.
"Hello!" Momiji said, smiling brightly while Kagura snuck Kyo and Yuki's clothes into her kitty backpack.
"Oh, hi." said the bemused girls. "Umm, did you happen to see two boys, umm, disappear over here?" they asked cautiously, aware of how absolutely ridiculous they sounded.
"No. But do you want to play with me?" Momiji asked, leading the girls away while Kagura dashed towards the school.
She was moving so fast and breathing so hard she only had time to yell, "Yuki...Kyo...girls! Open door for them!"
Rin watched her progress towards the building with interest before standing up and walking nonchalantly over to the double doors on the south side of the building where she could see an orange cat and a gray rat hiding in the bushes. She opened the door watched them dash down the hall and then returned to her seat on one of the wooden benches.
Kagura slowed her pace as she neared one of the playground monitors. She hobbled over to the elderly woman, moaning and clutching her stomach.
"I don't feel well. May I go to the nurse?" she asked pitifully.
The woman appeared rather alarmed by her appearance, "Of course dear! Of course!" she said hurriedly.
Kagura hobbled away, and, as soon as the woman had turned her back, broke into a run. Upon reaching the nurses office she obtained permission to call home and get her "older brother" to pick her up.
As soon as the nurse had left the room, she called Hatori on his cell. "Hatori it's Kagura, we have an emergency. Yuki and Kyo were playing tag with six girls. The girls ran into them. You have to pretend to be sick, come here, wipe their memories, and take me home. I had to pretend to be sick so I could use the phone and I am supposedly calling you to tell you to come pick me up. See you soon bye." She didn't give him time to answer as she quickly hung up.
The nurse who had just reentered the room looked over at her, "Your brother coming dear?"
"Uh...yeah." Kagura said, while thinking to herself, 'At least I sure hope he is...'
------
Yuki and Kyo dashed through the door that Rin opened for them and hurtled at break neck speed down the hall and into the first open door they saw, a bathroom. No sooner had they gotten in, then they transformed back leaving them to hide in the stalls. They had just begun arguing when two people came in. To Yuki and Kyo's utter horror and dismay, it was a pair of...girls!
------
So to sum everything up...Yuki and Kyo are trapped, naked, in stalls in the girls bathroom.
I hoped you liked it. I can't wait to find out how ShadowWarrior gets them out of this sticky situation.
Please, please, please review. If you liked it, great, tell us so we will know there is some point in writing more. If there is something you think would be better if it was changed, tell us, we will do our best to fix it. It you absolutely hated it and have nothing constructive to say, then don't review.
P.S. Sorry this chapter was so long in coming, we will do our absolute best from now on to update once a week. But the best way to know when we update would be to, if you have a account that is, add us to your author e-mail alert list.
Thanks for being so patient.
