My True Self

Chapter Nine: Hey, that's good!

"HARUKA DON… heeeey, that looks really good!" Voiced Setsuna.

Haruka shook her head fiercely. "No, no, no! You're not supposed to like it! That totally defeats the purpose!"

"Wow Setsuna! You look really hot like that!" Agreed Michiru.

Haruka's eye twitched and she sunk to the bathroom floor, defeated, as the other two ladies left the bathroom to show the other girls Setsuna's new hairstyle. They all gasped, and smiled. Her hair was cut short on a slanted bob, with the back shorter that the front … it was a really big slant, but it looked totally cool.

Mina clapped. "Wow Ruka-chan, you're quite the hairstylist! Do me now!"

Plopping herself in front of Haruka's glowering form in the bathroom, Mina wanted something neat done to her hair too. Haruka sighed and began hacking away at Mina's hair. A few minutes later, the new Minako Aino emerged from the bathroom with a beautiful bouncy bob!

She was so impressed by Haruka's talent that she grabbed Usagi. "Your turn now sweety!"

"Uhhh … are you sure about this?" Said Usagi, fingering her beautiful long hair.

"Sure! Haruka-chan's great, and you'll feel like a brand new person!"

Usa-chan nodded. "Okay then."

Haruka groaned. Why me? Can't they go to a hairdresser or something? She thought as she hacked and cut away at Usagi's hair.

Usa closed her eyes as she felt her long tresses falling to the ground around her, she couldn't bear to look until Haruka was finished. And when Ruka-chan was finished, Usagi squealed.

"Oh no, I'm sorry Usa … you don-"

"Ruka-chan … it, it feels so much like me! I LOVE it!" Exclaimed as she stroked her hair.

Usagi no longer had her beautiful long tresses, but rather an extremely short hairstyle. Her fringe was long, down to her chin, and the rest of her hair was dead straight and rested just below her hair-line at the back of her neck. She looked so much like a beautiful nymph this way, and less like a school-girl.

Mina hugged Usa. "Awww, you look so cute! I bet the Inners won't recognize you at all!"

"Good. Then we can be who we truly are, without worrying what they think all of the time."

Everyone nodded in unision.

Authors Note : Yeah yeah, I'm almost done… Just another chapter or two to go, and then it's totally finished. Praise the gods. Lol. You know, I just remembered … I think I finished this story ages ago, but it got deleted when THAT computer guy "fixed" my computer. Hrm. Oh well…
