DISCLAMER: I do not own "Yu Yu Hakusho," the movie called "The Parent Trap" or anything else I may mention in this fic. I do however, own a couple original characters. These original characters are NOT reincarnated versions of me, and they are also NOT Mary-Sue fangirls who chase Kurama and Hiei around. Have I made myself clear? Good.
A/N: Hello! Another installment of "Are We Related?" It's getting closer and closer to the girls going home.
LINWE JAGANSHI: I'm sorry about the vegan thing and what Shina did in the fic. If offended you, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me?
PLEASE R AND R!
"Are We Related?"
Chapter 9: Fool Anyone?
The days had come and gone and it was already Thursday afternoon. Ayame and Shina were both in the bathroom trying to dye their hair.
"I wonder if we can fool these people. Think so, Ayame?" Shina was referring to the Browns.
"We should try." Then Ayame had second thoughts. "Actually, we shouldn't tell them what we're doing. We should get this done as soon as we can so nobody suspects anything."
"Good idea. They'll try and stop us before Saturday even comes."
"You could still back out of this if you're having second thoughts."
"No, it's alright. I was hesitant at first, but now I'm really excited about meeting dad."
Ayame started reading the directions on the box of hair dye. "Okay…"
"I hope we do this right. I don't wanna ruin my hair and have it look like crap."
"Don't worry." After a few minutes Ayame finished reading the instructions. "This will be easy."
AWHILE LATER
The girls were standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom. "Wow, we look just like each other now. All we have to do is put in the contact lenses and we're set." The girls were satisfied with their progress. "Just so you know, I'm dying my hair black after we get found out."
"I know, Shina. I feel weird with black hair right now. It's definitely going back to brown after we finish our little mission or whatever you want to call it. Let's try the contacts now."
"Another thing, when we switch our luggage, I'm keeping my own underwear!" Both girls started laughing at what Shina had said.
"I was going to mention that when we switch everything, but you beat me to it. Why the hell would we switch underwear anyway? That's sick!" Ayame and Shina started laughing even more.
"Okay, Ayame, let's try these contacts. We already changed our hair, so now there's no turning back!"
"Let's see……"
After the girls read the instructions on the contact lens box, they tried to put them in their eyes, but found that it was all easier said than done.
"Ow!" Shina almost yelled, but she didn't want anyone to come up and see what she and Ayame were doing. "Ow!" Her second attempt at putting in a contact lens failed. "Ow! Screw this…I'll just wear sunglasses or something."
"Come on, Shina. Don't give up. It can't be that hard. Let me try…" Ayame was having just as much trouble as Shina. "Ow! Jeez, I don't know if I can do this. No, I can't give up! We are not going through all this trouble for nothing!"
After what seemed like forever, Shina got her first one in. "Okay, one more."
"You're doing better than me."
It only took Shina a couple minutes to get her last contact lens in, while Ayame was still working on her first. "Wow, I look just like you!"
Ayame looked at her sister. "OMG…you're a spitting image of me."
"Thanks. I'm gonna go ahead and clean up my mess while you're still working on yourself."
"Sure, don't mind me. I'm jus trying to get these things in my eyes. I guess we better get used to being addressed differently. People are going to start calling you by my name and vice versa."
"Yeah."
A half hour later, Ayame finally got both contact lenses in. Their next task was seeing if the Browns would notice they switched. They were both in the bedroom they were staying in.
"Oh, Ayame, I forgot to tell you that I have a cat. Is that okay?"
"You have a cat? Of course it's okay! I have always wanted one, but I guess you could say that dad isn't all that friendly with animals." Ayame was trying to avoid bringing up 'animals' and 'dad' in the same sentence.
"Why would you say that?"
"Oh, nothing! It was a long time ago when he was a teenager. He just said…uh…that he wasn't an animal person, that's all." 'That was close. Why do I keep putting myself in a position where it becomes a close call?' Thought Ayame. "I'm happy that I'll have a cat for a week!"
"Her name is Kirara. You know, from InuYasha?"
"Oh, yeah! I've always wanted to get a cat and name it that. I wanna dog, too. Last summer, my friend and her family went on vacation and they were looking for a house-sitter because they had a dog. I offered to take care of the dog, and so all I had to do was come over for a little bit everyday and feed her. The dog was a chocolate lab and she was so much fun!"
"I want a dog, too, but mom says one pet is enough. That must have been fun taking care of your friend's dog."
"It was, but I haven't gotten to the funny part yet!"
"Go on…"
Ayame started laughing before she started talking. "Well, I thought it would be fun to take her for a ride and bring her to my house for a few minutes. I brought her in, hoping she wouldn't bark so dad wouldn't find out there was a dog in the house. She was quiet, but unfortunately, dad saw her and got mad. He told me to get her out of his house; but before we walked out the door, the dog squatted and peed on the carpet." Ayame couldn't hold it in any longer, she busted out in laughter and Shina followed.
"He must have been very pissed after that."
"Oh…he…was." Ayame said in-between giggles. "I mean, it's gross when an animal pees or poops in the house and everything, but in that circumstance, it was pretty funny. The maid had to clean up the mess and I felt bad for her. It was my fault it happened, and she had to clean it up. I told her I would make it up to her by doing my own laundry for a month. She just told me not to worry about it and we both agreed my dads reaction to the incident was priceless."
"Don't worry, Kirara knows where her litter box is."
"Good. I ended up doing my laundry anyway. I actually do my own laundry, but Violet, one of our two maids, will do it for me if I have a lot of work to do."
"That's nice of her."
In the middle of their conversation, there was a knock on the door. "Come in." It was Dennis.
"Mom sent me up here to tell you dinner is ready."
"Oh, thanks," Ayame responded.
"You're welcome, Ayame." Dennis started to go to the kitchen when he was stopped by Ayame.
"What did you just call me?"
"I called you Ayame."
"No, my name is Shina. Not Ayame."
"Yeah it is."
"Do I look like Ayame?"
"No, but you act like her."
Ayame wasn't going to give up just yet. "Listen, Dennis, that is Ayame," she pointed to a brown haired Shina. "I am Shina."
"Something weird is going on."
"What?" Shina asked.
"I don't know, but something is different about the two of you."
A/N: How was it? I know it was short, sorry about that. I'm gonna be pretty busy, but I'll try my best to update on weekends. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! Feedback would be appreciated.
