Hey everyone! I'd like to thank YG, aderine no miko, Chichiri's Wanderer and The Otaku Duo for reviewing! (Insert happy face here)
Anyways; on with the chapter…
"We're here" Saiyami said, counting to ten in her head. The trip just to get to the mall had been very…eventful. First of all, she had not counted on the fact that none of them had ever seen a train station or anything that moved without horses, in fact. The first thing that each of them did when they saw the train was scream 'demon!' and then they had tried to pull her out of the subway station. When she had finally convinced the guard on duty that they were not on drugs of any sort, she had given them a talk about how they were going to see many things that could be considered a demon to them but would not to other people in this world. That had helped…a bit. Too bad Tasuki wandered away and got a free sample of coffee. That was not a good thing…
"Sorry 'bout that Sai" Nuriko said, "We just don't know better"
"I know…" Sai said through gritted teeth, "Somehow…I think I should have made you watch more TV so you could learn some things at least"
Subaru gave Sai a sympathetic look, "I'll help keep the guys in check, alright?"
Sai nodded, "Okay; we're going into a mall. Yes, there are stairs that move for you so you don't have to climb them and there's something called an elevator which is something that moves you up to another floor. There are things called intercoms that play music and say messages above us. All that is normal so please don't do what you did in the station" she pleaded.
"We'll try no da" Chichiri said.
"Tasuki" Sai said, "You are not to wander away at any time unless someone else and I know where you are going, understood?"
Tasuki shot her a sheepish grin.
"Okay; we're going in" Sai took a deep breath and walked into the mall.
"Wow; the stairs do move" Hikitsu said with amazement. He and the rest of them crowded around Sai in a department store; this is where she found a dilemma. The men's section and the women's section were on complete different ends of the store.
"We can get my clothes later, Sai" Subaru offered helpfully. Sai looked relieved. Then she ran from rack to rack grabbing clothes of every size and throwing it at the guys to try on. It didn't help, of course, when Tokaki chose that moment to use his powers and appear with the twins.
"AHHHHH!" Sai screamed, "Demon!" she said, repeating what the seishi had said in the station.
"Relax; just me" Tokaki said, "And the twins"
Sai blinked, "I see no difference"
"Hey!" Tokaki crossed his arms, "Aren't you supposed to be the quiet one? I think you've spent too much time with Subaru here"
"Miss, are you alright?" a security guard came up and asked, "Are these people bothering you?"
"No…"
"'Cause if they are, I can get rid of them for you"
"No…"
"You are, aren't you? You're bothering her!"
"Um…"
"How dare you disturb shoppers?" he yelled.
"Uh…"
"I take my job very seriously, you know!"
"No kidding…" Sai commented dryly. She watched as Tokaki appeared behind the guard and hit his pressure point. The guard collapsed and they put him under a rack of clothes as not to have questions asked.
"Okay; go change" she ordered.
An hour or two later, the seishi each found a wardrobe that they liked. All of them hadselected the same style ofpants (which they called trousers) due to the fact that it was most similar to the things they wore back in their world, which basically meant that they could at the very least fight with no problem in them, which was more than they could say forthe jeansand other styles that had been offered to them.Tokaki came out first. He was dressed in a navy blue shirt that was intended for formal wear, but the way he wore it, without a tie and unbuttoned made it look very casual. Chichiri, Hikitsu and the twins were dressed practically in the same way, each wearing a t-shirt under a light jacket, which with its length, looked almost like Tasuki's trenchcoat, but not quite.Next was Tasuki, who wore his own trench coat, but instead of what he usually wore underneath, he wore a sleeveless black shirt. Nuriko was last; he wore a black suede jacket over a sleeveless shirt like Tasuki's. Only Tasuki kept his original footwear, which were combat boots but seeing as Sai herself wore a pair, nobody really cared.
Sai looked very satisfied with herself. She didn't know much about men's fashions but the guys looked great. Now, she could do something easy, which would be getting clothes for Subaru.
She paid for the guys' clothes, glad that she had her own credit card, bank account and that the store was having a sale of 50 percent sale off everything. They headed to the women's sections where Tasuki start complaining that he didn't want to be seen there.
"No one is going to recognize you!" Sai told him.
"So?"
"So why would you care if someone saw you?"
"I just don't wanna…"
Sai sighed and rubbed her head, 'Where's Tylenol when I need it?'
"It'll be really quick" she promised, "I know women's fashion at least"
Tasuki began to grumble still.
Seeing that their host was about to explode with frustration, Nuriko and Tokaki offered to take Tasuki elsewhere in the mall.
"Be careful and don't freak out at anything"
"Sure" Nuriko said, hoping he could keep that promise.
Sai turned to Subaru, "Hm…how do you like the clothes you're wearing now?"
About twenty minutes later, they had finished buying Subaru's clothes, which consisted of a variety of styles. They were mostly in blue or red colors; more long sleeved and loose clothes than tight clothes. She was wearing running shoes now too.
"Okay no da" Chichiri sighed, "We're done, right, no da?"
"Yeah" Sai sighed, "Finally…"
"Where do you think those three are?" Amiboshi asked.
"Causing trouble" Suboshi answered, snickering.
"Let's find them quickly" Hikitsu said.
They found them almost immediately. It was hard not to, with Nuriko waving and running straight at them with excitement while Tokaki and Tasuki lagged behind him.
"I wonder what he's so excited about…" Sai said suspiciously.
Nuriko ran to them, jumping excitedly and bowling Sai over, "Guess what?" he asked from his position on the ground. Sai pushed his feet off of her and stood up.
"What?" Chichiri asked.
"Remember when Sai mentioned us getting jobs when she said we could live in her apartment?"
"You got a job…already!" Sai asked, shocked.
"Uh-huh…"
"What is it?"
"…uh…Sai…I have a question…" Nuriko said, "…what's a …model?"
Sai groaned at the reminder of the particular profession but kept it to herself. After all, Nuriko was perfect for it.
"You just sit there and pose and stuff" she explained, "It's a good paying job"
"Okay!" Nuriko smiled happily, proud of himself.
"Let's go back now" Sai said, "I'm tired"
Somewhere back in the department store, the guard shot up, and "I take my job seriously!" he yelled and hit the metal rack he had been placed under.
"Ow…" he managed to mutter before he fell unconscious again…
How'd you people like it? I figured that well, yeah, Sai's mom was rich but she doesn't know about the seishi so they needed to get a job and Nuriko is a perfect model (...as a matter of fact, all of them probably are, but anyways...) Gives them food and stuff and gives comic relief when fan girls chase Nuriko.
REVIEW!
