Demon Love Chapter 6: Girls Day Out
"Let's go SHOPPING!!!!" Shouted Boton excitedly, swinging her credit card around wildly. "We have to get you girls some human clothes while your staying in this world!"
Already people in the streets were beginning to stare at Yukina's long robes and the other girls' fighting uniforms. Or maybe they were just staring at Boton's strange antics.
The four girls hopped into Boton's baby blue BMW convertible and raced off to the mall. The whole car ride there, Boton was discussing every possible style.
"Maia, doll, you've got such a great body. We are gonna have to go with something tight, or maybe a summer dress to show off those legs. Yeah, now that I think about it, that has to be the choice. Summer is almost here and we don't want you to look all......wintery!" Boton spoke the last word as if it were a bigger crime than first-degree murder.
"Yukina, you have such a pretty face, we're gonna need some pastels to light you up. I am thinking light blue or pink, maybe turquoise if its not to bright." She explained to the backseat, at the same time adjusting her designer sunglasses in the rearview mirror. As she paused at a traffic light that unfortunately had just turned red, she considered Krystal's options.
"Krys, honey, I don't know what I am going to do with you. You're so pale, dear. But that gorgeous hair has got to account for something. Now, let's think here." The light turned green and the ferry girl slammed on the accelerator, causing the others to be forced backward into their beige leather seats. "For Luna, I think something simple and flowing. We want to watch out on color for her because that purpley-pinky hair of hers could easily clash. I have some of the same problems myself." She added, admiring her aqua colored hair in the mirror. "Ah, here we are."
They pulled into the parking lot of an enormous three-story shopping mall. "Ah, I love this place." Boton said, inhaling deeply, similar to Hiei and his coffee.
The four girls got out of the car and made their way toward the grand entrance, Maia clutching her stomach. "Ugh, I feel sick." Whimpered the nymph.
"Ah, motion sickness. One out of every five people gets it." Said Boton knowledgeably. They entered the mall, and were at once greeted by a blast of cool air conditioning. "Now that's more like it!" Said Boton. The girls looked around at the hundreds of people quickly moving about their business, shopping bags in hand. "Girls, welcome to my world." Said the ferry girl, smiling widely.
The first store they went to was a small designer's outlet in the center of the mall. It was full of tight jeans and stylish tops. Boton went to a rack full of denim and yanked out a pair of jeans. She tossed them to Maia. "Go try these on."
Maia reluctantly took the pants and went into a dressing room. The next hour was spent with Boton throwing possibilities over the door of the small room and Maia coming out every once in a while, modeling the clothes for the ferry girl.
"THIS IS IT!!" Shouted Boton, as Maia emerged, looking very good in light green short spaghetti strap dress and high-heeled sandals. "WHAT DID I TELL YOU?" Boton was clearly excited. Maia disappeared into the dressing room once more and came out in her old clothes with her new dress over her arm smiling. Boton also grabbed a few of the acceptable jeans, skirts, and tops and went to the counter. She tossed her credit card to the saleslady and grinned.
"Boton! Find everything okay, now?" Said the saleslady as she scanned Boton's card.
"Everything's great, Jo Anne!" Exclaimed Boton. Yukina, Krystal, and Maia exchanged glances.
"I bet she knows every store clerk in the whole mall." Whispered Krystal.
"You are so right." Whispered back Yukina. Maia nodded.
And indeed she did. When the four went into the next store, the store clerk, a man with short blonde spiky hair, he smiled and waved at Boton. Now it was Yukina's turn. It took less time to pick out clothes for Yukina than it did for Maia. Yukina's new wardrobe consisted of several pastel colored dresses, skirts, and sleeveless tops. In the same store, Boton also found some clothes for Luna: a few skirts, some jeans, tube tops, and one silvery white long-sleeved top with flared sleeves and a low neck.
Krystal was the hardest person to shop for. They went through store after store and Boton was never satisfied. Finally they took a late lunch break and sat down at a small table sipping sodas and eating pizza (Boton had water and a salad). Krystal looked around until her eyes rested on a small store in the corner that she hadn't noticed before.
"Hey what's that place?" She asked Boton, nodding her head in the direction of the shop. Boton's face turned pale.
"Oh, no no no no no." Said Boton, shaking her head. "There is no way we're going in there. That's Hot Topic." She said, and shuddered. Krystal ignored her, got up, threw her food away, and walked in the direction of the shop. Yukina and Maia did the same. Boton gulped and followed them reluctantly.
As soon as they entered Hot Topic, Krystal liked it. It smelled so much different than the other stores she had been in that day. On the walls hung many band T-shirts, and on the shelves were fishnets, chains, and stud belts. Everything was either black, bright green, purple, or hot pink. No pastels. Nothing bright and springy. No summer dresses.
The store clerk was a tall girl, made even taller by her 4 inch black platform boots. She had tattoos on her arms and a black T-shirt that had AFI printed in gold lettering. Through her eyebrow was a silver ring. She smiled at Krystal as she walked in. Then she spotted Boton and gave Krystal a quizzical look. The black haired demon shrugged, causing the girl to smile again.
Krystal made her way around the pleasantly crowded store, pulling things off the walls and shelves. She disappeared into the curtained dressing room and returned a few minutes later fully dressed. She wore black-heeled boots that climbed up her calves, showing off seven or eight small belts. She had on fishnets and a black and red skirt. She also wore a tight black top with no back. She grabbed a few silver bracelets off of the counter, slid them on her wrists, then glanced in the mirror.
"Hey you look awesome!" Winked the cashier. Krystal smiled at her and went back to get dressed. When she went to pay for her clothes, Boton stepped up to hand the sales girl the credit card. The girl smiled at her, and clicked her pierced tongue against her teeth.
"Hey where'd you get that done?" Krystal pointed to the eyebrow piercing.
"Back room." She said, signaling to an almost unnoticeable door on the opposite wall.
"Thanks." Said Krystal. She picked up her bags and walked through the doorway, with the other girls on her heels.
Inside was a well-lit room, contrast to the room they were just in. A large man sat in a chair with his feet up against a table. Tattoo designs were all over the walls. The man smiled as they came in. Krystal sat down and told him what she wanted.
"Right here." She said, indicating her nose.
"You underage?" He asked.
"Turned three hundred and fifteen a week ago." She replied with a smile.
He shrugged. "Works for me."
"Ugh, I can't watch this." Said Boton, running out of the room. Yukina and Maia followed her. When Krystal came out though, she had a glittering diamond stud in her left nostril. The sales girl applauded.
"We are so outta here." Said Boton, leading them out of the mall. They got back into her car and sped down the road, in the opposite direction from where they came.
"Er, Boton?" Asked Yukina. "Where exactly are we going?"
"Let's party girls. We're gonna hit the bars before bed." She said excitedly.
"We have to be back before sunset. I promised Luna I'd—" Krystal was interrupted by Boton's bubbly voice.
"Oh we'll be back in time. We're just gonna get a few drinks before the night's crowd comes in." She said reassuringly.
They stopped at a gas station to change into their new outfits. By the time they got to the bar, it was already six. "Boton, do you have a watch?" Asked Krystal.
"I have a cell phone that shows the time, why?" She responded.
"Oh, well, you need to come get me by seven, okay?" Said Krystal nervously.
"Yeah, yeah, I promise I will." Said the ferry girl, with a dismissing wave of her hand.
"Thanks, Boton." Said Krystal. They entered the bar and sat at the counter. Only a few other people were there, and the DJ was playing a slow, uneventful song. Within minutes, Boton was asked to dance by a tall young man with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes. She wandered off with him and didn't come back for a while. Yukina and Maia were also asked to dance, so Krystal was left alone. She didn't mind, she had been alone for two hundred years before she met Luna and then Maia. She could survive an hour. She ordered a drink and was soon joined by a familiar looking girl.
"Hey your that girl at Hot Topic!" Krystal exclaimed.
"Yeah!" She said. "I was hoping I'd see you again." Said the off-duty sales clerk.
The two began talking like old friends and before Krystal realized it, it had gotten late. She quickly excused herself from the conversation and ran around the dimly lit club to find Boton. When she found her, she was dancing with a different man.
"Boton!" She exclaimed, out of breath. "What time is it?" She was practically screaming in her ear.
Boton checked her watch. "Oh, about a quarter till nine. Why?" She asked with complete innocence.
"SHIT!" Shouted Krystal, alerting everyone in the room.
She ran toward the door and transformed. The not quite yet crowded club gasped as wings burst from her back. She didn't care. She needed to get home to Luna. Fast. A girl screamed and jumped out of the way as Krystal flew past and broke down the door in her hurry to get out. The devil soared into the air and rushed past the tall buildings in the direction of Kurama's house. The full moon laughed at her from overhead.
"SHUT UP!" She shouted deliriously to the night. With every beat of her mighty wings, she muttered "Shit" under her breath.
Finally she reached Kurama's house. She heard shouting as she glided down. "Shit." She said as she landed. "Shit, shit, shit, shit." She ripped open the door and was faced with a scene of destruction.
