Yugiri always brushed her hair before bed. It was important for a courtesan to take care of their bodies and it was a relaxing routine. From the mirrors reflection she saw Saki silently sitting on her futon. Her eyes were unfocused meaning she was probably deep in thought. With a polite smile she called out to the blonde.
The haze that covered her eyes was gone immediately at the sound of her name. Her face perked up. "What's up, sis?"
"Would you like me to brush your hair?"
It was a bit of a strange offer to the biker. Despite the blush she wore, the living dead beamed happily to herself. "You don't have too. Besides its going to get messy and knotted again while I sleep."
"Even more reason to do it now as well." Saki didn't put up any type of fight as the older woman walked over and sat behind her. Her hands gather up all of the soft stands tossing them into the air and making sure none got stuck in her clothes. Slowly the comb glided through the golden locks. The golden hair wasn't knotted just messy as it stuck up in places. More than likely it was only due to the high ponytail it was always in. Yugiri also had the problem when she released her hair from her bun. That's why she liked to brush her hair immediately after putting it down. A famous courtesan couldn't be seen with unruly hair.
At some point Saki's eyes had fluttered closed enjoying the gentle pull of the comb's teeth through her long tresses. "Feels good." The gang member mumbled loud enough for Yugiri to hear. A small burst of pride filled the entertainer's chest. She switched the angle of the comb. Starting from the nape of her neck she brushed upwards now. "Back when I was alive..." The amber haired zombie started gently. "Reiko would once in a while play with my hair. It always felt nice. She would help me dye it too."
"Dye?"
"The color highlights." She brought attention to her strands of orange and yellowish green in her hair.
"Oh? Fascinating, I thought you were born like that."
"Nope." She chuckled softly knowing that the older woman wouldn't take offence to the lack of knowledge concerning this era.
The brunette hummed in thought. "If this is considered the beauty of this time perhaps I should learn about it. Then I can also help you with it."
"Thanks."
A/N: I'm not someone who likes paying attention to their hair at all. But when someone brushes or plays with it, it's like the best feeling in the world.
Updates will now be slow (even though they are shorts) because after New Year's I will be on mandatory overtime at my new job until the beginning of February. I'll see if I can get one more in though.
ScareCrowFM: After thinking about it for 24 hours. I think Kotaro trying to comfort Tae in her inability to verbally communicate won in my mind.
